Question: When you were studying with Rabash, you did not know what a group was as such?
Answer: I had a different preparation. Rabash thought that there would be a group, he believed that he should do it. I brought students to him. We can see what kind of articles he wrote.
But the group did not form as a result of these articles. It was I who came out of it. No, the others came out of it too; I am by no means diminishing them. They are all my former friends, and I love and value each one of them because they are also students of my teacher. But the group was not formed from us.
Now each of them works on their own. I do not judge anyone. Each one just does as much as they can and how they can. I am the same, one of them. But still, I was the student closest to Rabash, his assistant. He spent a huge number of hours with me together in study, in everything.
That is why I have developed an internal sense of connection with him, which leads me forward. I feel that he is with me. I have an absolutely sober and clear feeling that in all my endeavors, he stands behind me, and I am fulfilling everything by realizing my teacher in myself.

We are a system of absolute interconnection. Parents, children, grandparents, and so on are all equal components of the one, unified system.
Question: How should I relate to children?
Answer: Children are not really “children,” they are actually adults who simply perceive the world in a more limited way. But to the extent that they do perceive it, they must engage with it intelligently. You should explain this to them, and treat them that way, and they will understand this.
Question: So I shouldn’t baby them, but treat children like adults?
Answer: Of course, the way you relate to children and your family is how you correct yourself and your soul.
Question: What about how I relate to my wife or a wife to her husband?
Answer: It is exactly the same as to yourself! The most important thing is to support each other in your mutual efforts, in understanding what is happening with you.
Question: What does it mean to make concessions to another so as not to crush them but to concede? What is it?
Answer: It means that I annul myself.
Question: Just like that? Can I just do it?
Answer: Yes, simply annul yourself.
Question: For what purpose? If I do it, there must be a reason, right?
Answer: So that you can be a correct element within the system of creation. It is about having a rational attitude toward everything.
Question: Because we are all inside one system, right? And we need to align with it?
Answer: Yes. The integral system of nature must be revealed to us, within us, around us, more and more in our perception. Within it, we will see the vast program called “the Creator.”
We are all within one system, one world, one sphere, one globe. Inside this sphere everyone is equal, interconnected, benevolent, and bound by mutual feelings of love, concession, and support.
No one thinks about themselves, everyone thinks only about others. This is the law of the interconnected integral system of the world. We will inevitably come to it! But the faster we do, the sooner we will understand what nature, or the Creator, whatever you call it, is demanding from us, and we will truly discover a beautiful future.

Question: Is it better for a person to go through all the states intensely together with you or separately in a group?
Answer: It is preferable to go through all the states as quickly as possible, that is clear. It is also desirable to go through them while I am still here, that too is obvious. After all, there is support, hope, guidance, advice.
But it is impossible to go through them only with me; it is better to do it in a group. Without the group, it is not possible. Without a teacher, it is possible.
Question: You keep putting the emphasis on the group. But how do you feel that it is specifically the group that is the mechanism a person must integrate into instead of using some other method?
Answer: You see how much I talk about this, and it is still not clear.
There is nothing else besides the system of souls, the connection between souls, the network of souls. This interconnected network of souls is the only global mechanism that the Creator created. We exist within this network, but we do not feel the connection between us.
It is as if we are torn apart in our perception. It is an illusion, but for us it feels completely real. In that illusion, each one of us feels themselves as existing on their own. That illusory feeling manifests within us as “this world.”
But as soon as I begin to restore my connection with others, that is, to restore this network of forces in my perception, it is as though I revive myself and return to consciousness. Then I immediately begin to feel this network or the upper world or the Creator.
When I feel only myself, I feel what is called “this world.” When I feel myself within the network with everyone else, I feel the upper world or the Creator, the unifying force, which is the common quality of this network. That is it. There is nothing else. There is no other space around us. None! Only this network of forces, and we are within it.

Can We Escape the Blows?
It is impossible to escape the blows. Our entire learning is based on how to pass through them. Even though all these states are predetermined, we learn how to navigate the path with awareness and willingness, so that even if we were given a different set of circumstances, we would still prefer to learn about ourselves and how we are opposite to the Creator.
In other words, we want to walk the path with full awareness. And when we do, we do not experience the blows as suffering. Instead, we pass through them joyfully.
We might feel the pain of disappointment, but at the same time, we observe ourselves from the outside, as if we were a body lying on an operating table, ready for surgery and correction. We actively participate in our own correction. Experiencing difficulties from this external perspective is an entirely different feeling. Instead of enduring each blow over the course of 50 years, we can pass through them in 10 minutes.
Corrections that would otherwise take an entire lifetime of struggle in the material world, through suffering (because suffering also purifies the body), are nothing compared to the corrections made by someone who studies Kabbalah.
We do not even understand what it means to go through these difficulties with full awareness. What humanity has done for thousands of years, what we ourselves have done over many reincarnations, can now be completed in a single lifetime, in one great leap forward.

Question: Does true Kabbalah begin at the stage when a person goes against his desire?
Answer: No, one cannot go against one’s desire. It is impossible to go against a desire because in the end one have strength to move forward. And strength appears when you go against your initial desire.
Anyway, if you are making a movement, it means you are receiving energy from somewhere; it means you have acquired a desire to make that move.
Where does it come from? From the importance of the goal.
Where do you get the importance of the goal if the goal is not visible? You get it from the group.
If you can absorb the importance of the goal through the group and move toward it, then you can even ask the Creator to reveal Himself to you. And then, you will use His revelation solely for spiritual advancement and not for self-satisfaction.

If a person does not overcome a small obstacle on the path, a greater disturbance will not come to him. That small disturbance will keep confusing and spinning him around until he manages to rise above it.
Being under the 49 gates of impurity does not mean being buried beneath them; rather, it means passing through 48 gates of holiness! I overcome each of the impure gates, and in doing so reach the next, even higher gate, or more accurately, the lower ones, because these are gates of impurity. But I must conquer the previous ones first. If I do not know how to do first-grade exercises, I will not be admitted to second grade.
The work in Egypt is very hard: working with the material, with bricks, under resistance and opposition from Pharaoh. It is not idle inaction waiting for time to do the job. Time will do nothing. “You shall not place a stumbling block before a blind person.” That is why we must work and not despair when we receive a burdening of the heart. Ideally, we should shorten such periods as much as possible.
The Egyptian exile was meant to last 400 years, but the children of Israel shortened it to 210. Though that incomplete work came back to them later, it returned in another form. Yet, we are no longer in that phase of preparation for correction. So for us, the periods called the Egyptian exile, the receiving of the Torah, and the 40 years of wandering in the desert can all be very short. We can pass through them rapidly, in accelerated time.
When a person reaches the final, 49th gate of impurity, no one can save him from there but the Creator Himself: “He alone, and not His angel or messenger.” Step by step, a person draws closer, overcomes all the forces of impurity, until finally he makes contact with the upper force.
In essence, the Klipa prepares the entire path for us, laying out the trail through which we can ascend to the Creator.

Question: You are a teacher. Who could replace you in teaching?
Answer: I do not think that it is even necessary. There are around 20,000 recorded lessons. There is an enormous volume of knowledge, advice, and practical exercises in Kabbalah, more than enough for deep study and real application.
As long as I am able, I will continue moving forward. Once I stop, nothing more is needed. People can take these archived lessons and study them systematically. There is at least ten years’ worth of material; it is plenty to achieve everything needed. It is more than enough.
Still, everyday I try to offer something new. I continue to find clearer examples, simpler language, and more accessible ways to express the material.
In Kabbalah, simplicity is key. Unlike philosophy or other sciences where complexity is often valued, Kabbalah demands the opposite: to convey lofty, abstract, and intangible concepts in ways that are close and understandable, especially to the average person. Today Kabbalah is meant for widespread dissemination.
I am working to make it accessible to everyone. The great 12th century Kabbalist Rambam wrote that we must develop this method and simplify it so it is ready for women, children, and those without formal education, in short, for all people. Not just for intellectuals or a small elite, but for every individual in the world.
Ultimately every person must correct their nature and attain the level of the Creator. That is the essence of our generation’s mission or perhaps of the next one, but within the coming decades, we must reach it.
