Ask, There Is Nothing Else To Do

Posted on September 30th, 2025

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.

Why Do We Strive for Love?

Posted on September 30th, 2025

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.

In Peace and Perfection

Posted on September 30th, 2025

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.

We Are Drawn to Immortality

Posted on September 30th, 2025

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!

Questions about Spiritual Work—259

Posted on September 30th, 2025

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.
