Comment: Many of us are by no means beginners in Kabbalah study, but are still like small children who are trying to understand how to address the Creator correctly, and just cannot come to it.

My Response: For thousands of years, millions of people in the world have been moving toward this like little children. But some of them grow, develop, become smart, and different from those children who, although still young in body, are dead in spirit.

This is an internal search, and it is wonderful! We cannot measure and see from the outside how hundreds of people gather together and rush to exit our world, our level of values, and our petty desires and intentions that are aimed only at surviving well for a minute, and the next minute, and the next. And that is it. It is such an amoebic existence. After all, what is such a huge organism with its potential doing? This is such a waste of resources! How can this be?!

And we have thousands of people who are thinking: “How can we rise above this amoebic state?”

Humanity is performing the simplest operation on itself of how to slightly move into a more comfortable state every moment of time. People move like amoebas, as if they are in some kind of solution: I feel a little bit better like this, I feel a little bit better like that, and that’s it.

But while studying Kabbalah, people try to rise, rebuild their program, and leave their body at the earthly level. Let it continue to exist in this solution, but you need to raise yourself and create within us another level of consciousness, perception, and existence that does not depend on the body. From your point in the heart, like from a drop of semen, you give birth to a new self—a Human! It is to be born through a small passage so that this drop passes through a small hole and starts its birth and development on the other side of the barrier.

Isn’t that wonderful?! Isn’t it worth the effort? Mind you, these efforts are definitely not in vain! Why remain in the amoebic state if there is the possibility of being reborn? It does not matter what happens! Even if nothing works! It’s just that we can’t waste ourselves on staying in this state.
