To Avoid System Shutdown

562.02Comment: You write that due to the shattering we have the opportunity to create the middle line. There are right and left lines and the middle one is built by the person himself. That is, both lines hide a great danger because when they connect, a short-circuit occurs. So there must be a middle line.

My Response: When the force of bestowal and the force of reception, plus and minus, connect in our world and a short-circuit occurs, we practically do  not see that something terrible happens.

But according to spiritual principles, it is forbidden to receive for your own sake. Therefore, if such reception happens, then the connection of the right and left lines, plus and minus, causes a short-circuit, and the system is burned out.

Fear Is An Instrument For Connection

281.02Question: When studying Kabbalah, everything seems to be determined. But, on the other hand, sometimes fear arises—what is next? How to work with it?

Answer: Such fear quickly passes. It arises from the unknown. For example, when the world opens up a little more in front of a small child, he is frightened because he is not familiar with it. Therefore, one must quickly find oneself within this new, gradually unfolding world.

I can advise you on what helped me at those times. As soon as I had fear or any problems, I immediately opened The Study of the Ten Sefirot or Introduction to the Wisdom of Kabbalah (Pticha) and studied the physics of the spiritual worlds—actions performed with the Masach, Reshimot, etc.

This is soothing and immediately clarifies the picture. Kabbalah is indeed a very serious science. It explains the structure of the world and everything becomes much simpler and clearer.

First, fear arises every time the picture of the world expands. And you need to expand. Second, in Kabbalah, the ten is considered a spiritual unit. Therefore, by gathering in a small group of ten and sticking to it, you will no longer feel fear.

That is, fear will deliberately urge you to a greater connection until the upper world really opens up in it and you literally begin to feel it.

Then We Won’t Want to Destroy Anything

963.1Question: UNESCO conducted a survey of 15,000 people from all over the world about what problems most concern the population of the planet. Young people under the age of 35 comprised 57% of the respondents.

It turned out that the problem that most worries humanity is global warming and the disappearance of species, both fauna and flora. Almost 60% of respondents talked about this. Second were conflicts and violence. Third was discrimination and inequality. And fourth was the lack of water, food, and shelter.

What do you think is the most important problem for humanity?

Answer: How to exist in a warm, kind, supportive, confident environment for us and our children. We need to understand how we can, if not control nature, then control ourselves in order to bring ourselves closer to nature.

Question: Then I will be fine and so will my neighbors, relatives, and everyone?

Answer: Sure. The most important thing is to find out the cause of the many conflicts that exist between us and between us and nature. The reason! And then we will know what the greatest danger to us is and what to do about it.

Question: What is the reason?

Answer: Our huge contradiction with each other, our huge egoism, which divides us, pushes us apart, sets us against each other, and does not allow us to gather and thus bring ourselves and the entire world around us into a balanced, good state.

There is nothing else. The only force that spoils everything in the world is human egoism. Let’s make sure that we know how to manage it.

You can see that if we walk away from somewhere, like Chernobyl, for example, then everything immediately calms down. There are no problems and nature blooms.

But if we could remove egoism from a person, there would be nothing left of him! So, we should not think about how to remove it, but how to correct it so that this force is positive, and not negative.

We see how a mother takes care of her child. That is, people can do this despite the fact that they are egoists, if they have love for another. So we just need to achieve love for our neighbor. That’s all.

Do not kill anything. On the contrary, add love to your neighbor. And then everything will be in order. We won’t want to destroy anything.

Mission Of The Villains Of The World

229Question: Has this person Bilam ever existed in history?

Answer: It is quite possible he existed because every spiritual quality must be manifested in matter. Almost everything written in the Torah happened in our world.

Question: Did Bilam deliberately plunge into egoism?

Answer: The fact is that all the villains of the world performed their specific tasks.

Question: Did he go for it consciously, i.e., split the head of the serpent, attract evil forces from the serpent, and so on?

Answer: No. He existed in our world, but he did not know his vices just as the Pharaoh did not know he was representing the entire egoism of the world. He fulfilled his function because he was a pharaoh while believing this is normal correct behavior.

When the Creator said to Moses, “Come unto Pharaoh for I have hardened his heart,” Pharaoh did not feel that his heart was hardened; he was just doing his work. He did not even need to know about it because all the negative characters were not connected to the Creator; they are opposite to Him. Therefore, they lack awareness of their mission, which they perform purely automatically.

How Is Freewill Expressed?

962.5Question: They say that freewill is when I do anything that I want. But maybe a person is freer when he does what he does not want?

Answer: If I do what I want, it means that my desire manages me. If I do what I do not want, this is already a question.

How can I do what I do not want? This can only be if the upper light influences me. If I still do something, it means that my desire has changed, which means that I already want to.

So, freewill eventually brings me to a point where I do what I do not want to do. It is in this state that my freewill is expressed.

How To Start Studying Kabbalah?

962.1Question: Recently, the question often asked on your channels is: “Where to begin studying Kabbalah?” People say that there are a lot of different materials on the Internet, including videos with you. But what is the right way to begin so as not to get confused?

Answer: I would still advise them to enter a group that is beginning the training, and to systematically engage in it. If they want to move faster, then more intensive classes are possible in parallel with this group.

We have a lot of literature, audio and video materials. But still, to move forward correctly, you need to be attached to some group.

Question: Indeed, there is a huge amount of material. Can a person figure it out for himself?

Answer: I think not.

I read material about Kabbalah for five years without any guidance, I passed through many different teachers. But until I found my teacher, I did not understand anything systematically. I had a big farce in my head and in my heart.

Only systematic classes bring our thoughts in order and give a complete picture of the world.

The Object Of Attainment Is The Creator

535.03Question: What actions can a person perform in the spiritual world in order to acquire knowledge, and is this knowledge always aimed at the Creator?

Answer: There is no object, goal, or system in the spiritual world that we can discover and aspire for other than the Creator.

We are totally inside Him. But the more we connect to Him by different attributes, attainments, knowledge, and powers to mutually and bilaterally bestow unto Him and to receive a response from Him, the better off we will be because we will attain the optimal form of life best for us.

There is nothing other than the Creator in spirituality. It is an upper field in which we exist, and the goal of our development is only the attainment of the center of the field, its upper pole.

The Kingdom Of Desires

527.04When reading the Torah, it is very important to remember that it talks only about spiritual states. If it writes about some king and his little kingdom, it speaks about what happens in our egoism, what desires reign in it, and what we can do with them: correct, overthrow, and appoint other desires.

The king is an egoistic desire, which at the moment, reigns in part of our common desire and guides us.

We have many different desires and they are all in a certain relationships with each other. These relations and their interactions, in principle, paint a picture of the world for us.

Thus, we feel that we live inside our desires, which consist of inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human levels. Moreover, in a human desire there are millions of different small desires, so-called “kings,” among which there are also large ones.

We are trying to overcome the desire that is reigning now, to capture this city and this king.

Question: Who becomes a king?

Answer: It depends on the period in history. Yet, we are not talking about history, but about what is happening inside us, the exaltation of some properties and overthrowing of others so they replace each other, and all this rolls from the beginning of history to its end.
