Question: How can one explain the fact that each person sees their own reality, and at the same time, as Kabbalah says, it does not actually exist, there is only me with my perception?

Answer: Yes, there is only you and nothing else—no history, no geography, nothing at all. You exist as a certain point of desire. Besides desire there is nothing, and within this desire some perceptions or fulfillments are felt.

These fulfillments appear in exactly the form in which you currently perceive yourself. In other words, the feeling of “self” manifests within the desire in the form of your image, and the perception of the surrounding world also appears as images within the desire. That is, you feel the fulfillment in desire in this particular form.

Question: When you describe something, you speak in general terms, “a person,” without addressing anyone specifically. So do all the others actually exist?

Answer: A person, naturally, does not exist. Then how do we see others and our universe? None of it exists. The worlds? They do not exist either.

Only one state exists, which we conventionally call the “World of Infinity,” that is, creation filled with the Creator.

Question: But why do I perceive the world from such an angle, as complex, made up of other elements, people, and animals?

Answer: Because within you there is such a desire that is imperfect, shattered, unassembled, non-integral. You perceive the inner sensation of this desire as “me and something around me,” or “a lot of things around me.”

Comment: But when I say something to other people, they agree, are delighted by a thought, they seem to really exist independently.

My Response: Yes, these are your own desires, which appear to you in the form of separate people, who seemingly objectively exist independently of you and in contrast to you.
