Comment: You know, when you look at what is happening in the world today, you think: “How did we get to all this?” You look at people near and far, at yourself, and you think: “What kind of creature is a human being?”
My Response: A human is a collection of absolutely all evil and all good. Therefore, he can switch in any circumstances from good to evil and from evil to good. And he will never understand another person who might blame him for something.
Question: Will he always justify even the greatest evil he has done?
Answer: Of course! And will do so sincerely at that! He will even try to convince you that he acted absolutely correctly, and that maybe he is the only righteous person in the world.
Question: What is it within us, then?
Answer: We do not know ourselves.
Question: What are those sensors inside?
Answer: Absolute good and absolute evil within us can switch places. They can be various and different.
Question: So you are saying that the evil I committed, the worst evil, I can switch inside myself?
Answer: And you will consider it absolutely good.
Comment: But that is evil.
My Response: No. You have already convinced yourself that it is absolutely good.
Comment: Well, okay—somebody, but we understand that…
My Response: You are wrong. How can you convince another person if he thinks differently?
Question: So what should we do with this? How can we turn evil into good? Is this possible?
Answer: As you recognize more and more evil, you should correct it into corresponding good.
Question: So eventually, I must come to the conclusion that this evil is within me?
Answer: That is possible if there is what is called a “third one.” That is, there is evil, there is good, and there is the Creator from whom this quality originates.
Question: Both good and evil originate from Him?
Answer: Yes.
Question: So there must be my appeal to the third one, in one way or another? My mind and heart—that is, supposedly, good and evil—and then there is a third. Am I being guided to this?
Answer: Of course! You are being educated and nurtured for this.
Question: They allow me to commit all sorts of terrible acts, right?
Answer: Everything. Everything that passes through you.
Question: Is it only so that I come to this third, to the Creator?
Answer: Yes. But this takes many states, generations, and so on.
Question: Have you even said “generations”? Is it not just one life? Does it take generations?
Answer: Of course.
Question: Is it worth it at all? All this…
Answer: You are not asked. You are the material of a great experiment.
Comment: It is a nightmare! The whole history is paved with blood, wars, sufferings, the entire history of humanity is only to arrive at this third, as you say.
My Response: And to rejoice, enjoy, and give thanks!
Question: That You did this and brought me to Yourself?
Answer: Yes.
Question: What should my appeal be like when I truly want to reach Him?
Answer: That you finally attain His wisdom, the perfection of His actions in relation to you.
Question: And you justify everything?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Will humanity get to this?
Answer: Of course!
Comment: It seems to me that we can see now how humanity is already moving toward this in giant strides.
My Response: He is guiding us energetically, yes.
Question: Energetically! We have such a scriptwriter and a director that it is simply impossible to get away with this. Is this because we have moved slowly?
Answer: No, who are we to determine the speed, the vector, and so on?
Question: I see you do not consider us at all—humanity in general?
Answer: We are small beings who can somehow experience and somehow adapt these experiences within ourselves. We can somehow compare all this within ourselves and gradually bring it into actions that flow one from another, thus establishing within ourselves some internal process of attainment, approval, and so on.
Question: But is this a logical chain?
Answer: Of course.
Question: Is the Creator and all this beyond any logic?
Answer: Beyond all logic; it is my agreement with Him.
Question: So is it logical that I do not have to agree with Him, but I agree? Is this what I am being guided to?
Answer: You have no other choice. Otherwise, there is no way to exist.
Question: And when I agree with Him, what happens?
Answer: Then you begin, through justifying Him, to draw closer to Him. You begin to reveal the meaning of His actions toward you. This fills you, and it becomes your life. It becomes that very flow through which you sail and attain Him.
Question: Does this river lead me to peace and love? I want so much to cling to something like that: peace, love. Does the justification of Him lead me there, to this point?
Answer: Yes. It does.

What is a “place”? The will to receive in the emanated being is the “place” for all the abundance and the light in it (Baal HaSulam, Study of the Ten Sefirot, Vol. 1, Part 1 “Table of Questions for the Meaning of the Words”).
There is nothing but desire, without any boundaries. We depict it in diagrams as a circle, a square, a triangle, spreading from above from the Creator or from below from the creation. But this is only a convention we adopt in order to illustrate that part of the desire that is fit for correction, for receiving the light.
In the original desire created, there are no boundaries. It ends nowhere. All of creation is desire; without desire, there is no concept of “place.” Place is created by desire.
Therefore, the matter concerns only the correction of place, and according to the measure of correction, this place is divided into circles (Igulim), straight lines (Kav Yosher), or other forms. But the desire itself is boundless, like Malchut of the world of infinity.
Thus, in spiritual work it is of extraordinary importance to constantly relate to creation as to the place of desire, that is, to strive to view everything from the proper angle and from the perspective of correction.
If I see that everything is only “place,” that is, desire, then at all levels of reality—still, vegetative, animate, human—I will look only at desire. And these desires are mine, but my ego paints them as external, not belonging to me. Work on the ego consists precisely in gathering, in reuniting these desires with myself.
In this way I collect from these parts the “place” for the revelation of the Creator and of the whole upper reality. It is revealed within me, and apart from me there is nothing. All perception of reality depends entirely on this concept: place.
What is the place of this world? A spark that burst forth from the upper world downward, into properties lower than it, more deficient, and created the place of this world. That is, it generated a desire within which our world exists.
What determines the boundaries of this world? Only desire! It is very difficult to explain in relation to our three-dimensional space and the boundaries of the universe. There is a “place” where the universe is located, and what fills it—the content of that place. But all of this pertains only to desire. One must completely detach from the “geometrical” perception of the world, and then it becomes much easier not to get confused and to perceive in essence what appears before us.
The only thing we need is to correct our desire. All of reality is within us, in our sensation, and apart from us there is no other “place.” Place is our desire!

Question: How is it that there is supposedly an objective reality in our world with external objects that we can measure?
Answer: We are accustomed to living by perceiving the picture of reality in an inanimate desire to enjoy, and we think the same way about spirituality, that it exists by itself and does not depend on changes inside us.
This happens until we begin to feel the relativity of our perception, and understand that it depends on our qualities.
Gradually humanity is advancing toward the realization that the entire vision of the world depends on the qualities of the observer. In quantum physics, scientists say that the results of an experiment also depend on the observer. But we have no means of measuring the effect of thought on matter.
In general, everything gradually becomes elusive until we decide that all of this is relative, relative to the qualities of man. Everything depends not on whether I observe or not, whether I think or not, but on who this person is who thinks and observes, what his qualities are.
Then we move from ordinary science, which does not depend on the qualities of the scientist, to the researcher, who must first of all take care of his own qualities, and only afterward investigate matter. This is already a Kabbalist.

There is no dead-end in nature. The dead-end that it sets for us are only for us to rise above, overcome this barrier, and develop further.
Dead-ends are only at our level, like steps. How does a small child climb stairs? He crawls with difficulty on all fours, and so on. That is why we are given these disappointments, ascents, and so on. They make us grow.
Question: So human growth occurs precisely by overcoming these dead-ends by sensing them?
Answer: By sensing them? A person cannot get up; one crawls up!
Question: So should I feel that there is a dead-end?
Answer: Yes, you must understand that the obstacles before you are the steps of the ladder of ascent.
Question: So where am I going? Here is this ladder. Where do I go, from one dead-end to another?
Answer: Toward understanding the meaning of life. Toward attaining the meaning of life.
Question: What is it? I am ascending toward something. Why am I climbing from one dead-end to the next?
Answer: I ascend so that these steps of ascent will create such desires, properties, and qualities in me through which I could reveal the meaning of life. It is there! But I do not see it, I do not feel it, I cannot formulate or sense it.
As a result of these ascents, when I crawl from step to step like a small child on all fours, trying to climb, I develop the mind and senses within myself to understand the meaning of this ascent. And suddenly, I begin to understand, as if this meaning is located between the steps.
Question: Is there an end to these steps?
Answer: It is very far away. It is almost not even there. But why? If I start to feel this is life. This is life, when at every step you have disappointment, the need to find strength, the need to find the exact aspiration, the goal. Otherwise, you will not have the strength: what for, how, why, what will you consider the right goal, the right decision or not, etc….
That is, as a result of climbing these steps, you begin to feel yourself growing, creating.
Question: What is it that drives me? Is it to get through this dead-end or to get closer to something?
Answer: No, you no longer even want to reach any final step. You begin to feel pleasure in going through them. Between the steps, you begin to feel the wisdom and clarity of these steps.
Question: Am I starting to feel this governance?
Answer: This is called “Mi Maaseha Ikarnucha“—”From Your actions will I know You.” From the steps themselves, from how they were created for you, and at the same time you were created in order to rise above them—from all this, you begin to attain the Creator of these steps. And this is the main thing.

The light created us with the desire to enjoy, and this same light sustains and develops it. We continually delve deeper and deeper into this desire from zero to the final, fourth level.
By working to an ever deeper depth of desire and turning it from receiving to bestowal, from evil to good, we reveal a new reality within it called the spiritual world.
That is, we realize and utilize this desire to enjoy through stages 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, transforming it with the help of the light from the power of the initial egoistic intent, the evil and hatred revealed in the layers of this desire, to love, goodness, and bestowal.
Within this desire to enjoy, we discover a new world, 125 stages or five worlds, depending on which desire we are already capable of turning from hatred to love in relation to our neighbor or the Creator, the light, and from receiving to bestowal.
And evil, of course, remains! Otherwise, on what basis can we build goodness? How can we appreciate goodness if there is no evil? The desire to enjoy cannot remain with good intentions unless it passes through all the opposite states on which we stand and ascend like a ladder to a height of 125 steps, returning back to the world of infinity.
Therefore, all this tension remains, all the potential through which we can rise above hatred, each time revealing it to ever greater depths.
