Question: It is said that a person who judges must engage in exalting the Creator, and then the Creator will give him gifts in which he will not feel the bread of shame. How can one conduct judgment while exalting the Creator?
Answer: The most important thing is that by exalting the Creator, you influence His revelation to all creation.
Question: How can one receive a gift from the Creator not for the sake of the gift itself but because of the greatness of the Creator, so that this is the focus?
Answer: Ask, there is nothing else to do. Ask.

Question: Love, everyone wants to love, to be loved, to work at a job they love, to visit places they love. Within us there is an enormous drive toward love. Personally, I feel that all our life we are searching for love, wanting to be loved.
Why do we chase after love, why are we so drawn to this powerful feeling?
Answer: Because we are nothing more than created beings, and our nature is the desire to enjoy. What fulfills this desire is the pleasure we feel. Depending on what each person strives for, where they feel emptiness, and what fills them, toward that they experience love.
I love fish, I love my mother, I love my children, I love the sun, coolness, warmth, it doesn’t matter what. If I am filled with what I strive for, if I fill my desire, I call that love for what presently delights me.
There are things I know in advance that I love either by habit or by nature because that’s how I was made. And there are things I accustomed myself to, and then I also love them.
In the end, what we call love in our lives is fulfillment by the pleasure I strive for, because it fills my desire. And the sensation that my desire is being fulfilled is what we call love.
For example, I love fish. That means I want to eat it and can fill myself with the fish lying in front of me on the plate.
Question: And still, we strive more toward human love than material love…
Answer: Love has many levels depending on what we love, meaning what fulfills us. A person has needs for fulfillment, which the science of Kabbalah divides according to a ladder of desires and aspirations. This ladder begins with desires for food, sex, and family. Then follow desires for wealth, honor, and knowledge.
In essence, all of our aspirations and fulfillments can be included in these six types of desires. If I strive for some kind of fulfillment, that means I love it. Moreover, I not only love the fulfillment itself, but also its source, which becomes important to me since it gives me pleasure.
That is how we build our lives. And our entire life takes place between hatred and love.

Question: What does the Kabbalistic principle “The Light is at rest and in perfection” mean?
Answer: The Light is at rest because it has no other motives, actions or desires except to give, influence, fill, that is, to generate only good.
This does not mean that it does not take any action. The Light performs various actions, including alternating ones, but all of them are aimed only at maximizing the fulfillment, saturation, and enjoyment of the object to which it descends.

Comment: The well-known physicist Michio Kaku writes: “Today each of us leaves behind a gigantic digital footprint. By looking at your credit card, one can tell which countries you visit, what food you prefer, what clothes you wear, where you study. There are your blog posts, diaries, emails, videos, photos. With all this information, one can construct a holographic image that would speak and act exactly like you, with the same habits and memories. And what will happen when we can reproduce your brain neuron by neuron?”
In other words, he says that a person may seemingly depart, but he still remains, all his desires remain. He calls this immortality.
My Response: Immortality already exists because our thoughts and desires float in the air. That is really so. The spiritual heart and mind, their content (desires and thoughts), all remain. They do not die with the body. They are not in the heart, but in another carrier. You can put a pump in place of the heart, a computer in place of the brain—nothing will change.
Comment: Michio Kaku says that the human biological body departs, but all the information remains.
My Response: And how will you connect to it? Through his credit cards?!
Comment: As if through a data library, a “library of the soul.”
My Response: How? Where is it located? After all, what you did is not written somewhere in libraries, theaters, workplaces, etc. It is recorded in spiritual form—in space, but not in the material world. We seem to exist in a material space, but in reality this space is spiritual. One might say it is digital, matrix-like, a space measured in tens, hundreds, and thousands of its own units.
Comment: So I cannot create another biological body and stuff it with all the information from the deceased person—what he thought, dreamed, what he wrote in his blog.
My Response: No, there will be no correspondence to the inner content. That physical body completely matched its inner content. You cannot create the same one. You have no way to create it because, in principle, it has already completed its purpose, and there is no further need for it.
Comment: So you cannot step into the same river twice.
My Response: No, there is no need!
Question: Then what is immortality?
Answer: Immortality is existence in the volume of desires and thoughts that properly correlate with one another and are connected with the rest because they are no longer divided by bodies, and together they form a sensory-informational cloud.
It is not the body, but that which exists before the body is born and after it dies: a sensory-informational cloud, our desires and our thoughts.
If during my lifetime I enter this informational-sensory cloud and begin to correlate with it, interact with it, connect with it, exist within it sensibly—and my body does not interfere with this but perhaps even helps in some way, by resisting and thereby directing me—then in this way I enter into immortality.
There I encounter the informational and sensory data of all who exist, all who have ever existed, and even that which does not pass through our world, since there are far greater informational and sensory fields.
Question: Can we humanize this picture a little? Could I meet former leaders or someone else there?
Answer: No, it is not as materialized as it seems to us. We cannot meet our mothers, grandmothers, and grandfathers there. That is how children think. But it is not so.
This is all on the next, higher level. Because all of the small sensory-informational fields called a person’s record (in Hebrew, “Reshimot”) are included in one common system, and they exist in it constantly. And our body, while we live in it, only distracts us from this system. We must make sure that in our lifetime our body does not distract us from this system, so that we unite together into one single sensory-informational system, which is called “soul.”
And our body (we must understand that it is merely a special kind of hindrance) exists only in order to strengthen its connection with all these fragmented beings, these sensory-informational records, by 620 times.
It seems to us that our body exists, but in fact it does not. It is merely resistance to uniting with the other informational particles. And the Reshimo (a sensory-informational record) longs for connection with the other particles, and strives toward it. The body pulls me toward death, but my Reshimo pulls me toward immortality! Let’s listen to it!

Question: How can I avoid falling into the illusion that I am the judge instead of the Creator?
Answer: This happens after certain steps, when a person, through action, wants to break through to the right decision, see the goal, and aim toward it correctly. Then he reveals that everything in the world is done for him.
Question: How can I be sure that I am allowing the Creator to work on me?
Answer: One must reduce one’s egoism as much as possible, and then you will feel to what you are inclined. That will be the right direction.
Question: What allows judgment to turn into a force of goodness and love?
Answer: Your decision, when you wish it to be so.
Question: How should we ask for confidence in knowledge if we must advance in faith above reason?
Answer: Your request to attain faith above reason is itself your ascent above yourself.

Everything that is happening to us now is organized by the upper force. Our job is to begin to feel that the Creator has made room for us to fill this free space with His properties, forces, intentions, and actions. This is called revealing the Creator in the reality that we find ourselves in.
There are no distant otherworldly worlds. We are in one reality called “the world”—our desire. In this desire, we need to reveal the properties of the Creator. All of this reality is our desire that we need to correct, and then the world will be filled with the properties of the Creator. This is how we reveal Him: “by His actions we will know Him” inside our desire, and not somewhere outside.
That is, we need to understand that everything that I feel in my reality happens only in my desire. It seems to me that there is me and this world, but in fact, everything happens inside desire. The whole question is how to change and correct your desire so that it is filled with the presence of the Creator.
Question: What does it mean to fill reality with the presence of the Creator?
Answer: The whole of reality, except for one point where I feel my “I,” is the Creator. There is nothing else. There is none else besides Him, and we are inside the upper force. The question is, how do we reveal this? This is a matter of perception (revelation) of reality.
The revelation of the upper force begins with the fact that we find ourselves in concealment. Our point is located in the AHP of the upper degree (in its lower rear part).
The whole world is the AHP of the upper, its reverse side, which has been emptied of all light, and therefore we do not feel the presence of the Creator in the world. But if we restrict ourselves relative to this world, we become a fetus in the mother’s womb, and the upper will begin to work on us and raise us.
To restrict oneself means, instead of your current perception of the world, to feel the Creator and the reverse side of the upper degree. This will change my whole behavior. After all, how would I behave if I knew I was in the upper? I would probably completely annul myself before Him; the only problem is that I do not feel Him.
But why did the upper restrict Himself and not let me feel Him? He wants to give me freedom of choice, so that without feeling the Creator, I behave as if He fills me! That is, I do not act like a child who is home alone, but behave well and correctly, as if my parents are next to me.
Question: What does it mean to fill reality with the properties of the Creator?
Answer: This means being as close as possible to the quality of bestowal. The very first action required of us egoists is restriction. I restrict my ego, try to be like the upper all the time, and behave as if He fills the whole world.
This is called: “No one will help me but myself.” I do not feel the upper force, but I act as if it is next to me. I do not act like a child left to my own devices, but as if my parents were home. It turns out that I need to build a spiritual program within myself.
But I do not know how to do it, so I ask the upper, and He starts playing with me.

Question: Smartphones today are conquering the world; everyone is looking at their mobile phones. But there is also another way of looking at smartphones—parents’ attention to their children has diminished as a result.
How much attention should a parent give to a child, and does the child feel that the parent’s heart is not with him?
Answer: What can modern parents give their children? The fact is that we are sinking into ever greater egoism. We lack feelings for the child and even more so for each other. So it is better that we do not impose ourselves on children. We only need to invent good games, all kinds of useful programs for children. There are not many of them yet.
Question: What will it come to? What kind of children will we raise?
Answer: Children are already growing up in a virtual space; they are no longer particularly interested in our world. The next generation will be in this space all the time, shopping through the virtual world, learning through the virtual world, everything through the virtual world. There will be a human being and a screen.
I believe that such action of nature is absolutely justified; we cannot criticize nature. We can only think about how to correctly use what is emerging in us in each period of existence.
Question: What is now emerging in children?
Answer: The possibility to build a world for themselves is emerging in them. The world! Their own! That is, a person is gradually moving from the world imposed on him by his animalistic body to the world that he will create for himself with his spiritual body, and in it he will exist. And this world will include absolutely everything.
We only have to observe how nature develops us. And it develops us in a very interesting way, by gradually giving us the opportunity to create a new reality for ourselves, and to exist within it.
Question: What will the child want to see and feel in this reality?
Answer: The child will subconsciously feel an attraction to this, a movement toward it, an impulse. And his movements toward the new reality will gradually compel him to acquire new qualities.
The next stage will be such that the child will want to exist in this, not because of some program, but because he himself will be changing. For now, we are only going through an intermediate stage.
But since nature leads us forward and causes all these movements, impulses, and urges in us, the next stages will be such that through the construction of a new virtual world, through the computer, we will suddenly feel that we ourselves have to change in order to enter directly into this nature. Behind what we have drawn, behind what we have created, there actually exists another world that has not been drawn for us.
For this, there is no need to install new programs on my supercomputer. I need to reprogram myself a little bit, and then I will indeed exist in the new world.
That is where we will come to. But perhaps not even in this generation yet.
