Question: Give us advice on how to follow the path and the method of Baal HaSulam and reach the goal in the fastest way?
Answer: We have already studied in general everything written by Baal HaSulam and his method. We just have to implement it. We were honored to meet this person, this soul, the work of his life. We live with his thoughts; we exist inside the “building” built by him.
The wisdom of Kabbalah is developing because souls are developing. More and more souls are coming to the final stage of correction; they are approaching their realization.
The last exile has ended, and now we are the first ones who are crossing over from this final exile to complete liberation, to the revelation of the Creator. Here we really need support, help, a big light, the study that Baal HaSulam passed to us.
We can see in ourselves how much it helps us to use it; if we follow precisely his method, we achieve success when we awaken the reforming light.
This light still acts within us in concealment, and the results are not so visible from outside. However, with every day this force is growing, becoming more visible, and we can sense it more. I really hope that soon we will begin to feel what we read, and sense those forms, properties, and depictions within ourselves.
Everything that we read in The Book of Zohar and in The Study of the Ten Sefirot, all these depictions will pass inside of us, and it will become clear to us that this is a movie.
Just now as our desires paint a picture of this world for us, so later will our desires, only the desires to bestow, draw us a picture of the second nature, of the upper world. Then we will understand what Baal HaSulam has done for us!
He writes that in reality, one begins to study Torah only after the revelation of the attainment. After all, when you reveal the pictures of the future world, you have to know what it all is for! Like a baby who needs adults.
Then you will feel that Baal HaSulam and RABASH care for you like a little child and explain this entire world to you.
With their help, you begin to penetrate deeper in it, understand, and carry out some of your own independent actions.
Each time you get more inspiration, and these great teachers stand close together with you, these two educators who constantly care about you and support you every moment and at every step.
We are yet to appreciate the significance of the enterprise that Baal HaSulam has created, of that great preparation he has done: “childcare,” “school,” and the entire “university” of the spiritual life that he prepared for us. If not for him, no Kabbalistic schools whatsoever would be able to help us.
They can only add to the revelation that we are making according to the method of Baal HaSulam and attaining the spiritual world.
I really hope that we will come to such a revelation, and then we will begin to know his real greatness and his love for us. After that, we will be able to interact at a different level and understand one another.
I very much hope to meet you in the world of truth where we will be able to discuss everything that takes place by looking at it with a true perspective and will understand one another.
We will do all this together with RABASH and Baal HaSulam, with their help. You will feel that they constantly support us and surround us with care.
We will try to be worthy of them!

Question: Why does a person’s inner change in his approach to reality from reception to bestowal grant him the ability to attain the present, past, and future without limitation?
Answer: The light, the quality of bestowal, revealed within a person includes everything because it is the only force in all of nature; it is nature itself.
The light governs us, the created beings, because nothing else has been created besides us. Its ever-increasing revelation within us reveals everything beyond time, space, and movement.
Therefore, by revealing the quality of bestowal, a person comes to know all of His (the Creator’s) actions from beginning to end. “There is no Creator without a created being who reveals Him.”
The quality of bestowal acting upon the created being is the Creator. When this quality, which created me, begins to rule within me, this means that I am revealing the Creator. The dominion of the desire to bestow, the intention of bestowal, the quality of bestowal within me, is called the revelation of the Creator to me.
This revelation occurs to the extent that I myself become bestowing. But then, how can I say that I am revealing the Creator? Who is this “I” that still reveals Him? It follows that within me qualities that have not yet revealed the Creator still remain.
But later, when I reveal everything completely, there is no longer a division between “I” and “He.” There exists only the quality of bestowal, boundlessly ruling within me, and nothing else.
In the end, we replace the force that motivates us. We ourselves want to replace it so that instead of constant thoughts about receiving, I think only about how to bestow.
In truth, I am simply accustomed to working for the sake of receiving, but there is nothing good in this. It is a habit from which I cannot free myself.
Baal HaSulam says that the transition to the desire to bestow is only a psychological difficulty. Because within the desire to bestow, there are far greater possibilities to enjoy and to develop. But we are accustomed to acting for the sake of reception, and so we continue to act.
Therefore, against our habitual nature, we must compel an external force, the surrounding light, to act so that it will replace the governing program within us. This is called: “My sons have defeated Me.”

Question: What is the purpose of the whole huge system of upbringing and education?
Answer: It is spinning around us on its own, and that is all. We cannot do anything about it. You cannot instill anything into a child, just the surrounding, friends, and educators to some extent as well, can. All of this creates the child’s inner world who then enters life. And going forward he already begins to take from life.
Question: What is upbringing in your opinion? You have pushed the education part back a bit.
Answer: First of all, education and upbringing are not the same thing. Education is a filling of a child with all sorts of knowledge. Whereas, upbringing is an example from an adult to a child about how to behave in various situations.
Question: Is an adult an educator, a parent, the environment, and so forth?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Then it turns out that the correct upbringing is to submerge a child in an environment that gives the correct examples. What examples should we show to a child so this child would grow correctly and would be receiving the correct upbringing?
Answer: It is impossible to say. The child himself selects these examples and assimilates them.
Question: I show an example to him, but perhaps he takes from it something of his own from it, something only he understands?
Answer: Yes.
Question: How can I penetrate this world of a child?
Answer: There is no need to! There is no way to! Let him develop independently.
Comment: But I have to somehow direct him.
My Response: I think it is not so necessary. Let him run around the yard and interact with his peers, and he will develop this way.
Question: Is the child supposed to have an ideal surrounding so he would grow up within it?
Answer: Children and animals.
Question: So there are children and animals around, but where is the place for an adult?
Answer: There is no place for an adult there. Adults will impose all sorts of behavioral rules on children. There is no need for this. Gradually a child will grow and he will discover these rules for himself.
Question: Shouldn’t an adult intervene in children’s conflicts?
Answer: No, I think there is no place for educators here.
Question: Then what will grow from the child if you say he is surrounded by children, animals, and nature?
Answer: According to his inner world he absorbs everything that is possible to receive from the world.
Comment: There is drawing, dancing, and nature studies. It happens that the adult comes and says “Let me teach the child these things.”
My Response: There is no need to! He will learn by himself. All these disciplines imposed on him just limit him.
Question: I am talking about simple disciplines like dancing and drawing. Will he master even this?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Can we draw any conclusions?
Answer: The conclusion is very simple: Leave the children alone, leave them free of your great thoughts and instructions, pedagogy, and everything, everything that is in you.
Question: Then what about parents? Parents and adults still exist. How should parents properly bring up their children?
Answer: After many hundreds of generations, I do not see in any generation that some generation has taken something useful and good from their parents, and achieved something useful and good. Every time we just relearn.
Question: So you learn from your own mistakes, you learn from your life, you learn everything by yourself. And you say that we should leave a person with this “yourself,” leave him to go his own way?
Answer: Yes, I hope that we will come to such a state when we understand how we should treat children in general. I hope this will be understood and realized in the near future.
