Comment: Your students constantly turn to you as a source of information. “What should we do? How should we perform this or that?” and so on.
My Response: I only give general advice that involves correction: where to focus more precisely and how to adjust one’s course. I can do nothing more than give a hint from the side.
Question: On one hand, a person can prove to you that this, and not that, is what matters, and you agree. But on the other hand, people come to you for advice about how it is better to act? Then what is the point of this advice if you can be persuaded?
Answer: It depends on the level at which I am being told something. If we are talking about the level of this world and I am given certain arguments, then I listen to the specialist or to a person experienced in that field.
On the other hand, when someone asks me how best to act in dissemination or teaching, meaning within our system, then one must make sure it does not contradict the conditions of Kabbalah.
Basically, all this is only so that a person makes fewer mistakes and learns from me rather than from his own experience. But this does not concern his personal paths, degrees, or states, but only general matters such as when he teaches, writes music, makes videos, creates programs, or publishes a newspaper. In those cases, I can step in, and I do.
But if it concerns his personal state, I cannot help him. He must go through them. I can only help indirectly so that through the environment he can accelerate the passage of his states.
The thing is, we cannot change our states, we can only accelerate them. And if this acceleration happens under our own effort, it is perceived as good and desirable, not as suffering.
Question: But when a person is in a state of descent or feels down, do you not intervene? Or do you still somehow stimulate him?
Answer: When he is with me, such states are softened because he feels the energy emanating from me and receives a sense of confidence and safety from it.
But on the other hand, he still needs to go through all his states. That is why I shake, shout, and pressure him, as if compensating for my presence with negative influences, and push people away from me. I have no close ones, favorites, or deputies; everyone is equal.
Maybe I relate to people differently depending on their position, but only in a professional sense, not otherwise. I make absolutely no distinction between people in their spiritual path.

Question: How does the light reflected from the screen clothe onto the nine Sefirot of direct light?
Answer: The intensity of the light with which it desires to enter and fill the vessels (Kelim) below it is reflected from the place where the inner and surrounding lights collide, rise upward, and envelop the first nine Sefirot that are located before it. In this way, mutual influence of the light on the vessel and the vessel on the light begins.
Question: Can a Kabbalist who performs restriction and reflects light influence this clothing?
Answer: Of course, he feels it, lives within it, and builds it. It all depends on him.
We influence how the light spreads through all the vessels. Because of this, they connect with one another, and the light continues to pass forward.

Question: Is there a difference between the quality of Akudim and the world of Akudim?
Answer: Of course there is. The world of Akudim is something that exists, is global and self-contained. It has special qualities that distinguish it from others.
Question: Why do we need the quality of Akudim? How does it help us?
Answer: It doesn’t. We simply study what kind of desires were created by the Creator, and this helps us grow.
We need to understand where they begin and what defines them. When we reach the level of these desires, we will be able to connect with them and become similar to them.

The Rosh (head) of the Partzuf represents Keter. This means that the Rosh is the highest Sefira and it determines to what extent and how the light spreads inside the Kli.
The Rosh is always first. It identifies which lights, how much and where they will enter.
Question: On what basis does the Rosh make the calculation of how much light it can let through? Where does it get this understanding?
Answer: All of this already exists in it. To the extent that the light fills the desire to receive, accordingly, the Kli receives for the sake of bestowal.

In Kabbalah, there is essentially no such thing as past or future, only the present.
Question: Do you ever regret something from the past? Does a memory ever flash something before you that makes you flinch?
Answer: Everything has passed.
Comment: So this conversation we are having right now, this is this life. And everything that was and everything that will be no longer matters?
My Response: None of it depends on us in any way.
Comment: Teach me to live like that. I can say that, but a moment later, I will be tested, and I will be weak.
Answer: No, I am not worried about the past. Although if I were to count how much time I have wasted and on what, well, of course.
Comment: It is a a lot.
My Response: But that is how it must be. Agree that everything is done by the Creator, and when it comes to the past, that is especially true! You fully support Him, trust Him, and accept it.
Comment: And yet, about the future. Everyone dreams of the future, everyone hopes for something that will come. That cannot be taken away from a person.
My Response: You see, if you think about the future, you are taking it away from the Creator. That is not allowed either.
Question: Is that also His prerogative?
Answer: That too, yes.
Question: So if I define this formula for myself, then what?
Answer: In that very moment, I am connected with the Creator, merge with Him, cleave to Him, and I want nothing else, like a child clings to its mother, that is what he wants, that is all! That is how we should be.
Comment: So the essence of this formula is to cling to the Creator?
My Response: Yes.
Question: The past is His, the future is His. But this present moment, is it mine? Do I still exist here?
Answer: I exist. In the present, there is “I.” And only I determine that I want to be with the Creator, to hang onto Him.
Question: Right now?
Answer: Yes, that is all. There is nothing else. Nothing.

If one does not have any desire or craving for spirituality, if he is among people who have a desire and craving for spirituality, if he likes these people, (only under this condition!) he, too, will take their strength to prevail, and their desires and aspirations, although by his own quality, he does not have these desires and cravings and the power to overcome. But according to the grace and the importance he ascribes to (his environment) these people (who are around him), he will receive new powers (for the spiritual ascent) (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 99, “He Did Not Say Wicked or Righteous”).
This is simply a law. And if someone does not want to do it, I can repeat RABASH’s words to him: “Go back to your normal life and enjoy it. Enjoy food, sex, family, money, fame, power, travel, and entertainment.”
Either you put all your strength into spiritual attainment, as written in Kabbalistic sources, or leave this path and live an animal life, at least you will enjoy it as an animal. Otherwise, you will lose both. This is called “a fool sits idly by” unable to do what is required of him for spiritual attainment, and “gnaws at himself.”
Unfortunately, I see a lot of such people. Let us hope that from now on, we will change our perspective and move forward correctly.
Rather, it is one person who can help another by seeing that one’s friend is low. It is written, “One does not deliver oneself from imprisonment.” Rather, it is one’s friend who can lift his spirit (RABASH, “Each One Shall Help His Friend”).
That is, we should not forget that in spirituality, all our advancement is possible only through the strength we receive from the environment. All human strength is physical strength in this world. To ascend into spirituality, I must receive strength only from the group. I do not have an ounce of strength to move forward alone. Every bit of strength I receive from the group propels me toward the Creator.
