Question: What is the basis for the unity of the people of Israel?
Answer: First of all, people feel on an animalistic level that the whole world hates them. Therefore we must explain that the entire world hates them because the Creator is displeased with them, that He is standing behind all the nations of the world and treats them this way. We must explain that He does not like them in their current state. They are the people of Israel. This main emphasis should be on this.
For the world, the explanation must be somewhat different, about what the real reason for its suffering, and the way out. There the explanation must be more general.
With regard to Israel, the explanation is simpler. They have a direct problem with the Creator. They do not strive for adhesion with Him; this is the source of the problem.
With regard to the world, the problem is twofold. Each time they receive a blow because Israel is not corrected, and it does not bring them abundance from the Creator.
Here, the explanation must be more moderate, with the right approach so that it is not distorted and turned into even greater antisemitism, which not only will not help, but will also hinder the correct development, and then neither we nor the whole world will be worthy of good. The explanation must be comprehensive. The reason and the solution must be explained very clearly so that it cannot be interpreted differently.
That is, the explanation must be comprehensive and true. It is not easy.

Who Really Depends On Whom?
How can one rationally explain the general law of the universe? It is from two directions. First is from the human, social side of life. Here we can rely on scientists and philosophers of all kinds, who arrive at similar conclusions through their research.
They come to results that are very close to the idea that an upper force exists in the world that possesses reason and its own freewill, and that there are individual changes in relation to us that depend solely on it. That is, it is not a blind nature, but something referred to as an upper thought.
Scientists discover this even through their study of nature. I understand them very well in this because, in some way, I also came from that direction.
And from our side, we must, to the extent we can, explain the wisdom of Kabbalah and cleanse it from the assorted rubbish that has stuck to it. As much as we can, we must point people to what is written in the true, ancient sources. There is no person who would disregard them. They may be feared, but no one dismisses them entirely.
It is good if we manage to present these sources in such a way that, in addition to direct quotations, we also provide a very simple, easy explanation, one that can be absorbed by anyone quickly and effortlessly.
It must be something that is grasped instantly, even by a person with little understanding. After all, people today do not have time, cannot stay immersed in a thought for more than a few seconds, and their level of perception is very limited.
What does “quick and easy” mean? It means as close as possible to their Kelim (vessels), according to the law of equivalence of form. It should be that in order for them to perceive an idea, little effort is needed that each time they need to exert effort or overcome something in order to grasp the idea, that effort is very small, a slight reflection, and they have caught it, and with a little bit of thought, they have absorbed it.
Exactly like that. Just a little effort, and what I intended to pass on is already within them.

Question: If we address the wider public, will we need to raise the topic of the group and show that it is a much more general concept?
Answer: I think the topic of the group is actually a very easy one to explain to the public. After all, the people of Israel are not a nation in the usual sense of the word.
At its foundation, it is a group of Kabbalists established by Abraham. The nation exists as a group, in collective responsibility, in relationships of equality by birth, always with a dismissive attitude toward money and honors.
Throughout all generations, the values of the nation were spiritual. If we add to this the antisemitism and general hatred from the world, it becomes clear that from both the side of good—the spiritual side, and the side of evil—the corporeal side, the entire nation is driven from two directions to exist as a group.
Therefore, this approach, when we speak about ourselves and include the entire nation in this process as a group, is very positive and truly resonates.
In the heart of each person, there is something that is rarely found in other nations, a sense of mutual dependence on one another. At the same time, the nation is split into factions that treat one another in extreme ways with hatred, with envy, which is something not seen in other nations.
A nation may be divided into several religions or parts that do not even interact, yet they allow each other to live. But here, that is not the case. There is no tolerance for division within the nation into factions.
We need to explain that, in fact, this is what brings all the evil that exists, that we are all responsible for one another “as one man with one heart.” The people already have a certain readiness for this: they understand that this is harmful, even on a corporeal level, and can also come to realize that, spiritually, this is damaging.

Question: How can there be a completely inner action if there is no calculation, foundation, or knowledge? What remains of an action that has no purpose that I can imagine, no result that I can feel?
Answer: When we give birth to our children, we understand that they are not capable of anything, that they cannot do anything. We simply have to support them, educate them, and fill them with knowledge and food. In general, we want to give them everything we can. It is our instinct.
The same is true in the science of Kabbalah. As soon as we become fit to be parents, that is, to generate new Kelim, the connections between them, and to raise them as much as possible to the level of connection with the Creator, we do it. Then we feel how the Creator helps us. Our entire connection becomes just for His sake.
Question: What does it mean to generate new Kelim?
Answer: It means to feel an emergence of a connection with the Creator that we have not had before. And so we move up the ladder.

Question: Are there any well-known scientists today who assert in their research that the upper force exists?
Answer: There are many such scientists. We are in contact with them and try to show how, through research of nature and research of the inner world of man, we come to the same result: that there is an upper force above us with certain properties, which apparently has a specific purpose in relation to us, and we should check our reactions with this.
And what is happening to us now is happening because we do not have the correct connection with this force and because we do not comply with the laws established by it in nature.
Today there are enough people in the world with education, titles, and status both in society and in science who can state this in a way that it can be heard.
And on the other hand, we who are engaged in the science of Kabbalah can add to everything they have said. We can add confirmation from Kabbalah to all their discoveries in quantum physics, in the study of biological forms of life, or in the study of the psychological nature of man. Kabbalah explains why this happens at all levels of nature: still, vegetative, animate. Kabbalah adds explanations together with them, and in opposition to them. In this way, we clarify things to such an extent that they will be easy and convincing for the general public.
This is from the human side. But from the side of the upper force, since we still do not fulfill its will, we are of course facing even worse states ahead. For it is known that blows purify a person, and then he becomes sensitive enough to understand and hear that these blows depend on something he does not understand and for which he does not see a reason. And since he wants to get rid of them, he will want to find the cause even though it is hidden.
Thus we come to a certain stage where we explain, together with scientists and with specialists who will actually be able to present our explanation, the “means to avoid blows.” On the other hand, society is already in a state where it wants to hear: “It does not matter what the solution is; just give it!” It is like a sick person who demands medicine just to get rid of the problem. This process is very rational.

Question: Where is the boundary between the fact that I must make efforts and the moment when I can no longer do anything but remain silent and wait? How can this be felt practically?
Answer: Where is this boundary? A person must feel it themselves. There are no instructions based on instruments or indicators.
The spiritual space consists only of the forces that are revealed to us. And we must navigate it in such a way that we always feel we can rely on the one, main force of the Creator on one side, and on the egoistic force on our side, which we deny in its use and wish, as much as possible, to combine with the Creator’s force of bestowal.
