The Matter That Cannot Be Grasped

Posted on December 2nd, 2025

Question: You say that everything spiritual is feelings. What are feelings?

Answer: Feelings are what happens in the desire, and desire is our matter. That is, we are talking about matter and the form of matter. This is what we study in Kabbalah and what we can sense, analyze, and reproduce. Therefore, absolutely everything is in our feelings.

Comment: But feelings don’t have a specific location.

My Response: Desire is the very place in which you sense what you feel. My desire is the only reality. And all the objects surrounding me only seem to exist. In fact, they are drawn for me in my desire. Besides desire, there is nothing. Matter is desire.

Comment: In reality, this is something inexplicable.

My Response: It simply cannot be grasped.

Comment: Neither feelings nor desire can be conveyed in any way. Only if, as you say, there is a common form. If someone has experienced it, they can convey the feeling.

My Response: That is why I try, in some way, to push students to start writing emotional works about everyday situations that would lead a person to a certain awakening, similar to a spiritual one, and would accelerate their development.

Question: Is it possible to convey Kabbalah in this way? Can you take all the explanations from the heights and transmit them in a sensory form?

Answer: Yes, try to present all this in the form of various novels. One can, of course, write purely psychologically about a person’s inner states, even when he doesn’t intersect with others. Or one can base it on his relationships with a group, with friends, with animals, with women; it doesn’t matter.

That is, the foundation is always the same, only more complicated. Just like in our world: There are more intelligent people, there are less educated ones, but the foundation is always the same—emotional.

Quality Connection

Posted on December 2nd, 2025

Question: We know that the closer we come to Lishma, the higher the likelihood that we will be heard throughout the world. In your view, what are we lacking in order to influence the whole world more strongly: quality or quantity?

Answer: We lack quality so that the connection between us becomes very strong. It will allow us to unite with one another and merge with our source, the Creator, in order to receive strength from Him and, through our connection with others, channel this strength to the entire world.

Trust and Verify

Posted on December 2nd, 2025

Question: If Kabbalah is a science, then why is it said that the surrounding light acts only on those who believe?

Answer: Faith is the force of bestowal. It is not about believing someone’s words. In the science of Kabbalah, faith is the force of bestowal, Bina; it is not words spoken by someone and accepted by someone else as fact.

In science, it is not customary to believe, and Kabbalah does not use this concept of faith. It is not a religion!

I rely on the advice of the Kabbalists in order to draw the surrounding light upon myself. They tell me what needs to be done and they explain why.

With their help, I study the system, trusting them the way a child trusts a schoolteacher or their parents. A small one must trust the grown-up in order to rise to a higher degree, relying on the instructions that come from there, but no more than that.

In religion, however, in our world, faith is not trust with subsequent ascent and verification, but a fanatical loyalty with one’s eyes closed.

I do not accept the words of the Kabbalists as facts; I implement them and test them on myself. And afterward, having provided myself with a full set of knowledge and evidence, I will be able to continue the research on my own.

Torah Lishma—Drawing Closer to the Creator

Posted on December 2nd, 2025

Question: What should one do in order to work specifically for the sake of Torah Lishma?

Answer: Attend all the lessons and try to fulfill all the conditions that we study. Continue every day; be with us at the lessons daily, and then you will succeed.

Question: Can we say that Torah Lishma ultimately determines our place in creation?

Answer: Of course, this is the most important thing. When we direct ourselves toward Torah Lishma, we thereby draw closer to the Creator. After all, He is the goal and the force that sustains everything.

Work In and Above Knowledge

Posted on December 2nd, 2025

Question: We study that the wisdom of the Torah is revealed in the reflected light. This is work above knowledge. And what are the conditions for working Lishma within knowledge?

Answer: Within knowledge is your mind, your ordinary attitude toward the Torah.

Question: Is an ordinary attitude enough to call it work, or must one still transition above it?

Answer: By no means is it enough! “A necessary and sufficient condition” in Kabbalah we must reveal and master.

Question: So in general, is all work Lishma carried out above knowledge? Do I not have any ability to make corrections within knowledge?

Answer: For now, you do not.
