The Most Important Thing Is to Desire

Posted on August 15th, 2025

Question: You said that Kabbalistic sources are dead if we do not engage in unification. Is it possible to imagine our unification alive without the sources?

Answer: Can we move forward without books? Of course we can.

There were periods when humanity had no books at all. Afterward, they appeared at a time when people still did not know how to read and write correctly. So it doesn’t matter. The main thing is to desire. We always attain what we attain in our desires. Therefore, the most important thing for us is to desire.

The Perception of Spirituality Is Through Breaking Egoism

Posted on August 15th, 2025

Question: You talk about a global system all the time. But a person subconsciously understands that in a global system everything should be good in the family and in everything else.

It turns out that if he is in a different sensation, he cares not about himself, but about those people who are around him, and receives great pleasure from that. Is this true or not?

Answer: Are you justifying egoism? Of course, it is very pleasant to enjoy egoistically and you don’t have to break yourself for it.

The whole problem is that it is not really possible. Disappointment comes, emptiness, states come that are impossible to remain in. The Creator deliberately ruins our lives.

Question: So the sensation of spirituality always comes through breaking?

Answer: Absolutely! How else?! After all, you have to reveal completely different sensory organs in yourself, those in which you will enjoy bestowing, and not receiving.

The whole world is created in order to bring humanity to correction. Therefore, if necessary, difficulties are created.

And if a person creates difficulties for himself, then there is no need to impose them on him. That is, if he himself is looking for ways to correct himself, and tries to identify his egoism in order to turn it into its opposite, then there is no need to beat him, prick him, or create any obstacles for him.

From Despair to Happiness

Posted on August 15th, 2025

Happiness is when something you very, very much desired, wanted, suffered for, were in pursuit of, and created such huge aspirations in yourself suddenly begins to be fulfilled, and you begin to feel relief, as if from pain. This feeling can be called happiness.

But there are levels and gradations here: what a person suffers from and, accordingly with this, from what he can be happy. And it turns out that his highest happiness is when he feels himself approaching the Creator, clinging to the Creator like a child to its mother, something like that. Then he feels true happiness. And this is a very strong desire that has been gnawing at him all the time.

He wanted it to happen so badly, and he had already despaired. And suddenly the Creator appears and says, “Well, where are you? I am looking for you!” And a person wants to say: “It is me who is looking for You! Where have You been, not me?!” And so, they rush toward each other, simply without words and without holding back. This is happiness.

Moreover, this is not a merging as in our world, when bodies join, and each body remains with its own volume and sensation. But here it’s like sensations that mutually penetrate each other, and there are no bodies. And such a state appears, truly I do not know how to say it.

Question: This is very beautiful and poetic! It is just that you have never spoken like this before.
And does my “I” disappear? After all, it is me who wanted this. I wanted this after all.

Answer: I want it to disappear! I absolutely don’t need it! But if my “I” disappears, then the feeling of the other will disappear as well. That is why it is arranged so that the “I” does not disappear.

This is explained in Kabbalah that the Aviut (thickness of egoism) does not disappear. And precisely because it becomes greater and greater, we get the opportunity to combine it with the quality of bestowal. And it turns out that the greater the egoism, hatred, the greater the love. And the greater the hatred, and the greater the love.

We don’t understand how this can be. In our flat world, it is all…

Question: Either this or that?

Answer: Yes, we don’t understand. But in the spiritual, it is so.

Question: And to what extent will all this grow: hatred–love above it, hatred–love above it?

Answer: Until the state of infinity.

Question: Until the sensation of infinity?

Answer: Yes, that there is no limit to this.

But it must be felt, otherwise it is meaningless. But it is a very long path to achieve feeling it.

See Friends as Corrected

Posted on August 15th, 2025

Each time we must choose the best possible environment, meaning, to see the friends as more corrected than what my egoism shows me. Naturally, this doesn’t mean jumping from one place to another. While remaining with the same friends, I must continually elevate their level in my eyes and value them more and more. This depends solely on me, not on them.

It is forbidden to discuss the spiritual state of a friend, only his external actions. In truth, we do not know the inner spiritual state of our friends. We only need to see what is happening with them and to help each one be in the most correctly inspired state possible.

Question: Am I not allowed to criticize a friend or say he’s in a descent?

Answer: No. We can only do this through the group: by the whole group rising, we lift him as well.
