Comment: Suppose I feel good thanks to a Hisaron, a lack, that has revealed itself.
My Response: This means that you are consuming yourself. It is impossible to feel good because of a deficiency.
Question: But what if a person wants to remind the group of something that needs to be corrected?
Answer: This is not called revealing a lack. After all, the Kli and the light come as one whole. Therefore, if a question arises within the group regarding something that needs to be corrected now, it is permissible. But not in the form of vague generalizations that “we are lost, we do not see the path, we do not know how to get out of this state.” In other words, do not create obstacles, do not burden—awaken.
Both the Kelim and the lights are given to us from above. It is from there that we should receive both difficult and easy questions. But a person should not search for negative things beyond what is given to them from above. If they are not given to me, why should I descend lower? After all, I have the potential to ascend constantly!
If, however, a person drags themselves downward, this is a real Klipa, an impure force, that is operating on them. It is a peculiar Klipa; a person begins to revel in suffering and demonstrates to everyone how they, poor thing, suffer, so that all may see what a “hero” they are.

Question: Will our adhesion with the Creator contribute to the dissemination of Kabbalah?
Answer: When you go out to disseminate Kabbalah, what are you spreading? Just a piece of paper with something printed on it? You spread what is in your heart, what you cultivate, exalt, and develop in society. That is what you are spreading, after all.
Of course, if we have determined that “there is none else besides Him,” that adhesion with Him, striving toward Him, connecting with Him in everything that happens to us is the most important thing, and separating from Him is the greatest punishment—then, no matter what you do on the street, even if you present it in a different, much lighter form acceptable to the masses, you are still essentially spreading only what is in your heart.

Question: We have spoken about the necessity for the whole nation to become aware of our current state. But what form should this awareness take among people like us, those who have already turned to the books and used all the means? What else are we missing?
Answer: At this level, a person cannot see their true state. Even when he has already entered the spiritual realm, he cannot immediately see his state clearly. It does not come instantly. When he first enters spirituality, he is like an infant.
If I am on the very first spiritual degrees, annulling myself before the Creator, this annulment means that I am not working with my Kelim. I see something, but I do not know what it is. I react somehow, but with no greater conscious understanding than a baby in our physical world.
Gradually, as a person advances and acquires Kelim through which he can receive for the sake of bestowal, he begins to attain the spiritual world as he absorbs it, receives from it, and engages with it through both receiving and giving. But if he does not absorb the surrounding spirituality into his own Kelim, he will be able to distinguish very little within it.
This is understandable. There is no way for one to gain such awareness, because all our learning and attainment come from absorbing something from the outside. What that something is, in and of itself, we do not know; it is Atzmuto (His essence). To the extent that we are able to channel this light through our Kelim of bestowal or Kelim of reception, we build an inner picture within ourselves of the reality around us, a picture of the world, of the Creator.
Therefore, not only we, but also those who have already entered the spiritual degree and are on the very first small steps of the spiritual ladder, are all like babies. Of course, they already have a sense of the Creator, of His presence, and of the fact that He surrounds and fills a person. But to gain awareness and attainment, we must at least somewhat start working with the Kelim of reception.

Question: What determines creation’s ability to experience the suffering of the Shechina?
Answer: The suffering of the Shechina means that a person who acquires a vessel of bestowal senses suffering in them. To the extent that one feels a desire to bestow to the Creator, he perceives that these vessels are precisely what the Creator wishes to give him. Prior to that, we do not sense this.
When we speak about the suffering of the Shechina, does anyone really feel it? “The Shechina in the dust…” We tend to think that “the Shechina in the dust” is merely a state in which we do not sense the Creator. However, such a state is actually called concealment. When we experience suffering from the fact that the Creator is unable bestow, which I can sense only to the extent of my own desire to bestow to Him, this is what is called the suffering of the Shechina.
In other words, this is similar to two people, one of whom does not sense the other. The latter cries out, weeps, and is miserable, but the first person does not understand what is happening. “Why is he crying? Should I go and ask?” If this person is an absolute stranger to me, then I begin to sense his sorrow only if I have a desire to become closer to him and love him. I begin to feel his suffering according to my own vessels.
Therefore, the suffering of the Shechina because she cannot bestow to me and my suffering because I cannot bestow to her create a common single vessel. We meet inside this vessel and engage in mutual bestowal upon one another, there we exist in bonding. Thus, the Shechina is the place of bonding between the Creator and creation.

Question: What should you do done in relation to the group in order to constantly maintain readiness for internal war, the inner struggle, and not surrender in it?
Answer: Not surrendering means not forgetting. Only the group can instill such an awareness of this importance to a person. To achieve this independently would cost him a great deal of suffering. It would have to practically engraved in his flesh. Moreover, it would take many years.
However, the group can raise this importance to such a degree that a person will remain constantly sensitive to it, will fear a break in connection, and, as Baal HaSulam writes, disconnecting from the Creator for a single moment will become the greatest punishment in the world for him.
How can I constantly be ready to maintain my connection with the Creator? If He is important to me, then I will maintain a connection with Him. The group has to constantly “drip” this awareness into me, both the group and me together.
Question: How can I establish a relationship between myself and the group, a bond, that will never be broken? After all, the ultimate goal is for me to remain constantly sensitive in my attitude toward the Creator.
Answer: It is not so much about your attitude toward the Creator, but in not disconnecting from Him. You must seek the means to remain as close as possible to that point of connection.
The means to achieve this is the realization of the importance of this state: being united with the Creator. Where does the awareness of importance come from? Experiment; there are a thousand and one factors involved. Perhaps you should read books about it, listen to music, attend lectures, and so on.
It is said that society exerts the greatest influence on a person. After all, books are a part of society. Anything that evokes a reaction within me, anything that originates not from within myself, but from outside, is defined as society. But what influences a person most is the opinion of the people immediately surrounding him. The group must be big enough, significant, and strong to truly instill this awareness deep within him.

Question: Is it correct that in order to act opposite to the advice of the will to receive, one must be aware of the importance of making an effort?
Answer: No. The importance of making efforts is only a test. What is required in order to recognize the importance of acting contrary to the advice of the will to receive, is the awareness of this very fact.
One must be aware that the will to receive, that is, the intention we currently have, along with the urges and impulses we experience, always aims to detach us from the Creator, and we must resist this.

Question: What would you wish people who are setting out on the path of searching for the meaning of life?
Answer: I wish people to enjoy the metamorphoses that are taking place in them. Everything that is happening in them, everything that is bubbling, that is life! Don’t grow old before your time. Don’t try to, at least not inwardly.
I may no longer be able to climb mountains or battle the waves in a raging sea. No, but deep within myself all this still exists, and all of it gives me the sense of being truly alive.
Question: So, is that what you mean by a person remaining young regardless of their age?
Answer: Of course!

All the forms that preceded the appearance of man are hidden inside us. In the process of evolution, matter progressed through the stages of inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human.
At each stage there were also four stages of development: four within the inanimate, four within the vegetative, four within the animate, and four within the human.
That is, from the beginning of the inanimate level to the end of the human level, one must traverse sixteen distinct steps before a human finally emerges from the ape. Thousands of years ago Kabbalah asserted that man appeared as a result of the evolutionary development of the ape.
Nature evolved from the inanimate to the vegetative through an intermediate form, corals; from the vegetative to the animate through a hybrid vegetative-animal form known as “Kelev Sade” (field dog); and from the animate to human through the ape.
We, in turn, must continue to develop as human beings until we attain the stage of development of the spiritual human, one who begins to ask about their root and ultimate purpose.
In other words, we will undergo profound internal, sensory, and intellectual development that we become capable of rising above our innate animal nature and begin to ask questions that are no longer pertain to the animal level: “Who are we? Who created us?” People who are concerned about such issues begin their spiritual development and who turn to the science of Kabbalah.
If a particular species becomes extinct in the course of evolution, it does not truly disappear; rather, it simply sheds its external form and transforms into the next one. This implies that we are the same dinosaurs, only now in the form of humans.
The same form continued to evolve and develop, much like the classic illustrations of Darwin’s theory of evolution, where the ape is followed by a figure grasping a stick, and gradually transforms into modern humans.
This means that all kinds of creatures that have evolved in the past and continue to evolve are ultimately designed to lead to the emergence of a person who will ask himself “Who am I? Why am I here?”.
He will want to discover his root and will reveal it using the method of Kabbalah; that is, he will become similar to the Creator. Consequently, he will be called “Adam,” a name derived from the Hebrew word “Edomeh,” similar to the Creator.” He will become so similar to the Creator that they will achieve a state of fusion, a complete correspondence between them, like two parts of a single whole.
Question: Does it mean that all living beings have something in common?
Answer: What we all have in common is that we all come from the same root, which is called “Creator.” It is He who created our shared substance, the desire to enjoy or “creation.” Subsequently, these creations begin to differentiate into levels and species distinguished by a multitude of diverse attributes.
Question: Over the last two hundred years, a rapid process of species extinction has begun. If in the past centuries only fifty species disappeared each year, today thousands of different species disappear per year. Why is this happening?
Answer: Apparently these species are not required in the process of evolution to advance to the next steps. In this case, these species do not disappear altogether, but take on hidden forms that are incomprehensible to us, and they contribute to the existence of more advanced forms.
Consider, for instance, the dinosaur that ceased to exist in the form of dinosaurs, yet they continue to exist within us in a different form, as latent potential forces. Without this potential, we would not have been able to develop to the level of humans.
This leads to a very important conclusion about the proper attitude toward nature. There is no need to keep endangered species by force, nor to forcibly develop those species that seem more useful to us.
The main thing is to take care of the human species while not destroying anything in nature. In other words, you cannot destroy anything, but you do not have to go against nature and artificially keep species that disappear naturally from it.
