Question: Can you raise a person without being aware of them, and they will not even identify that they were in a spiritual state?

Answer: This can happen to everyone, but they do not feel it, they do not define it.
When we study together, people all over the globe, no matter where they are, rise with us, but not in their awareness, not in their disclosure. At the same time, they are filled.

Question: During Kabbalah classes, does a person enter the spiritual world?

Answer: Yes, but not obviously because the person does not have a screen.

Question: But this is not your merit?

Answer: It is natural! This is the nature of the spiritual world. There is nothing else here. What does merit have to do with it? We are in a system, within the laws of nature, in its properties, and we act within it. In the end what happens is what happens. There are no tricks here!

Question: But in any case, you can pass on some spiritual experience even to a novice student. Does he internally find some kind of disclosure that you put into him?

Answer: Yes, of course. Let us say if I die today, then in a few years the people who continue to study will discover what I put into them yesterday, the day before yesterday, and so on.

Question: Is it the same as you keep revealing what RABASH invested in you?

Answer: By the same mechanics, of course.

Question: So each of us has a certain reserve of your ball of yarn, which gradually unwinds over time?

Answer: Yes. I will even say more. You cannot have anything else! This is a top-down descent and a bottom-up ascent.

Everything you comprehend, you received from the highest. This hierarchy remains until the end of the completion of correction. I am always above you, so you turned out to be my disciple and connected through me to higher levels. And everything you have in you, you will always receive through me. What difference does it make whether we will be in this world or only in the spiritual one? It does not matter.

Question: Let us say you are currently a carrier of spiritual information. Are your students who will appear in 5 to 10 years the next level? Is there another step beyond that?

Answer: Of course! Their students and so on, everyone who pulls everyone else along is their teacher, like in a chain reaction.

The one you attract, that is, after the first contact with a person, will begin to receive through you. After all, these contacts are not accidental because our souls were so connected from the beginning.

Question: Can a Kabbalist be a scoundrel?

Answer: This cannot be because he clearly sees the qualities of the Creator and is a part of Him.

But how can you think that a person is capable of performing miracles? What miracles do you want? Like little children, I want this to happen! If there is some mechanism inside the object, you press a button and show the child the so-called “miracle.” He opens his mouth because he does not understand the connection between the button and what happened.

We are all in exactly the same state.

I remember how I was once sitting in an airport in the north of Russia. Some Chukchi (a member of an Indigenous people of extreme northeastern Siberia) was passing by, and at that moment, the door of a box that measures the air temperature suddenly opened. You know, there is such a device. There is a box on a column in which there are barometers, thermometers, and other measuring devices. A motor (selsyn) automatically opens the door of the box so that air enters, and the devices measure it. Then the box closes until the next measurement.

When the Chukchi saw this, he almost fell. You should have seen his face. I thought: “Well, now a new god is being born before him.” For him, naturally, it is a miracle. Suddenly a door opens…

It is the same with us. We all wait for such phenomena, behind which stand these selsyns that open and close doors.

Question: Essentially, Kabbalists describe the system of souls. But the Creator is described as an inanimate system, a force that governs everything. Ultimately all souls are supposed to reach similarity with this force. But if it is inanimate, does that mean the souls will also become inanimate?

Answer: I do not know what you mean by “inanimate.”

Comment: I mean, it is not a mind, which can change, but just a force.

My Response: What do you mean “not a mind”? We are the ones who are mindless. I understand only one thing: there is desire and next to it is a mind that fulfills what the desire wants. That is all. There is nothing else in the world. The greater the desire, the more it develops the mind needed to fulfill it.

Comment: But the Creator is the ultimate desire we must achieve.

My Response: That is how we perceive Him within ourselves. In our greatest desire, when we feel the true quality of the Creator called the quality of bestowal and love, we call that “the Creator.”

Question: Let’s take an example of a force, like a traffic light. There is no point arguing with a traffic light because it is an unchanging mechanism. So if we become similar to the Creator, do we turn into that same kind of unchanging mechanism?

Answer: If we become similar to the Creator, then all of our internal and external movements become absolutely correct, altruistic, and based on bestowal and love. We would not experience a single doubt about what to do or how to act.

So you are asking: “Does that mean we turn into robots who flawlessly execute their internal program?”
Right now, we carry it out incorrectly and therefore we introduce all sorts of errors and interferences into it. As a result, those interferences force us to come to the correct program of behavior.

So you are suggesting that as long as we are not corrected and do not really know what to do, we feel free: “I could do this or I could do that.” But once we know for sure what we should do, then we will stop feeling free, we will just be like animals.

Comment: Yes, you are speaking about merging with this force and becoming like it. A person as if becomes the Creator, similar to Him.

My Response: Do you think I would feel bad if at every moment I felt that I am doing something, exposing the next desires within myself, finding ways to resolve them in an absolutely correct manner, realizing them, and thus constantly advancing in such a spiritually correct, perhaps even error-free growth? What is so bad about finding an absolutely correct algorithm of behavior?

Question: Let’s say you have a mechanism, like a precisely working clock. Are you saying we become like this clock? But what mind does a clock have?

Answer: So what is the problem? What I see is that today you are a mechanism that does not understand how it works. It does everything it needs to do, but it thinks it is acting freely, like a small child. But I see you from the outside; you perform all actions absolutely correctly, without any mistakes. You do everything exactly right because nature compels you to do so.

The difference lies in how you see yourself. Do you see yourself in your true form from the level where you correctly observe and evaluate everything within you? Or do you not see this and are in concealment, unaware that the Creator is completely controlling you now, that even now you are entirely carrying out His program?

In other words, you are saying: “I want to remain in concealment; it gives me the illusion of freedom.” But I say: “No, you do not need that!” Because when I feel that I am moving in unison with the Creator, I experience even greater pleasure. At the same time, I do not lose the sense of freedom, I do not turn into a robot, although I know precisely that I am moving in harmony with Him. It gives me immense joy to search for the correct behavior in relation to Him.

It is like when you listen to music and it is somewhat familiar, you already know what the next chords, sounds, and transitions will be. Precisely that anticipation, that foreknowledge of what is coming, gives you far more enjoyment than an unfamiliar melody, because you do not have any developed, known desires, sensations, emotions, or expectations toward it.

Try to figure this out! And you will see how this does not rob you in any way; rather, it makes you far richer, more serious, more majestic when you suddenly begin to reveal a completely different level of your own behavior, of how you are governed, and of your participation in the common governance. These are things beyond imagination!

Why talk about this on an amateur level? Reveal it, and you will see! Then you will discover that your current state is the most pitiful and the most miserable.

Question: We keep praying, but we see that every day we become more and more separated. Why does it work that way?

Answer: Because you need to clarify very precisely that you have nothing else but the need to unite. When you truly feel that, your future state will appear before you: connection with everyone without any conditions. That is what you need to achieve.

If you do not see a strong aspiration for spirituality in your friends, if you are not impressed by the environment, not inspired to bestow, then it means that you yourself are not investing in it. Start investing yourself in your friends, and you will see how they begin to influence you in return.

It is a very simple formula! I connect with the group, and together we reach a state where we begin to influence each other.

Our circle then becomes a spiritual vessel (Kli), where all our desires for spirituality unite, all the points in the heart, and above them, an anti-egoistic screen forms: our mutual bestowal.

Now, when we are all influencing one another, we must examine whether we are doing this for the sake of bestowal to the Creator. If yes, then we have a screen and reflected light. And immediately, the upper force is revealed to us in accordance with the similarity of our qualities.

I → Group → Soul—that is the entire formula!

Question: What does it mean that I need a friend to reach the Creator? Do I need him as a mediator, as a guide, as an instrument?

Answer: The Creator is revealed only in the connection between people, and this connection must be complete. It is good when there is a friend nearby with whom you can unite, but still, you need a group of ten people in the connection between whom you can attain the Creator.

Then you will discover that even ten is not enough. There must also be outer circles around your group that you also attract to yourself since the expansion of feeling the Creator is possible through the attraction of other souls until each of you, through his ten, reaches the correction of absolutely all the souls in the world.

Question: What does the Kabbalistic principle “My sons have defeated Me” mean?

Answer: The Creator awakens various egoistic qualities in us, and through proper work with one another, we cultivate altruistic actions and attitudes. By doing this, we begin to work on the egoism that the Creator awakens within us.

As a result, through correct inner work, we acquire special anti-egoistic forces and begin to act on our own.
