We must show each other how much we desire to connect because it is precisely in the connection between us that we attain the Creator.

The Creator cannot be revealed in one person. At a minimum, two people are necessary, two who reject each other and simultaneously strive to be together above their egoism. There must be a dipole, two interconnected opposite qualities: love and hate, one above the other.

That is a challenge for humanity because people do not understand it. Either I am all in love or entirely feel hatred. Either I love a little or hate a little. However, opposing these two qualities and connecting them one above the other is very difficult.

Nevertheless, it is necessary to live in this, not rejecting, but developing both qualities—the thickness of egoism (Aviut), the restriction of its direct use (Tzimtzum), and the screen (Masach)—when I begin to work above egoism in the quality of bestowal, in connection with the upper light, i.e., in love. Then I turn into a complete Partzuf—a soul.

The problem is that I have to implement all this. Kabbalah is not a simple method. Such an action requires gradual mastery. It is truly a wisdom, a skill that must be learned gradually. Therefore, spiritual work takes many years.

Question: Is it enough for me to set a good example for the friend without expecting any reaction or should I still check his response?

Answer: You do not expect any reaction from your friend that would oblige you to continue setting positive examples.

You wait for your friend’s reaction to adjust your own, to change your attitude to an even more advanced one. That is, the direction is always positive toward getting closer to each other and greater mutual penetration into the quality of bestowal that would fill the space between you.

Question: What is the next degree in this situation?

Answer: The next degree in this situation means that despite rejection, you understand that you must move forward with reason, feelings, thoughts, and intentions. You keep yourself in a state of rejection and build a connection above it.

In such mutual internal tension, you move forward. If you think there should be some kind of love or romance here, this is certainly not Kabbalah. In Kabbalah, there are only two opposite states, one above the other. Then, you begin to ascend from our world to the next level.

Question: Your teacher Rabash knew all the states that you were going through. Knowing that you had to go through terrible despair, hopelessness, could he not have helped you in any way?

Answer: Did he not go through such states himself? He went through them the same way I am now, the same way my students go through and will go through them.

Every Kabbalist goes through absolutely all states. That is why he can write for us. No soul, starting from our world and up to complete correction, can jump over any state.

Question: You said that Rabash was patient and that you could even yell at him. Was there ever a time when he wanted to kick you out?

Answer: No, he understood everything. Once, after Rabash’s death, I met a friend that earlier had studied together with me at his place. And he told me: “I remember that you once did not want to go to the sea with Rabash as an escort because you were terribly offended and angry about something. And then I went with him.

While at the sea he said: “Let’s call Michael anyway.” I called you and told you that Rabash wants to talk to you. And you answered: “Tell him I don’t want to talk to him.”

I told him what you said and asked: “Why don’t you kick him out?” And Rabash replied: “I’m not kicking Michael out because he has a special soul.”

That is, he understood that I was really in a terrible state and could not behave in any other way, and whatever was going on with me passes. But with this call, he accelerated my spiritual development.

Of course, he saw who I was, what I was: on one hand, a jerk, but on the other hand, I still had a lot of potential, and therefore he tolerated me.

But I was as loyal to him as I could be! Of course, I had very difficult conditions when I was worried, smoked, shouted, and swore. I don’t think I could have behaved any differently today. No.

Question: How do you learn to recognize that the Creator is clothing on you and what He wants from you?

Answer: This can be felt internally when you work with several levels, higher and lower, you are an adapter between them, and you understand how to make contact with each of them, canceling yourself. Then you represent a thin middle strip between them, which is called a Klipat Noga.

And so does, in principle, each of us. If we communicate with each other correctly, then none of us will have anything but this strip or small dot that glues one level with another.

That is, you must be a completely invisible fastening link in the chain. What does invisible mean? Not violating anything from the previous and subsequent link from you. They cannot be held together without you, and you have to do it. That is the only reason you exist.

And then it turns out that the whole huge organism of souls works ideally when everyone gives everything, everyone does not take up space, and then the place is filled with higher light.

Question: Are you a specific subordinate link in this chain?

Answer: Of course; nothing more.

Question: This chain, including Rabash and Baal HaSulam, goes before you. It does not matter if you exist in physical attire or not, do you still remain in this chain for the entire time until complete correction?

Answer: Absolutely. This cannot change.

If I have connected to Rabash, it is because my soul stands in the hierarchy in a place that determines exactly this connection of mine.

And if certain disciples have come to me, it is because those souls stand in the hierarchy close to me, below me, so that I can conduct a technique on them to the fulfillment that I can receive through Rabash and above from his father, and so on, and so on to the very world of infinity. But this chain is constant, unchangeable.

Question: The idea of ​​transforming the egoistic nature of a person into an altruistic one with the goal of achieving adhesion with the Creator looks beautiful.

But I do not understand how this idea can be conveyed to the masses? To whom? This is an educational process, not just something you tell a person and that is it. The educational process is in the hands of the exploiters, and this is not beneficial to them.

Answer: I think that the educational process of a general type, the one that spreads to the entire system of humanity, is in the hands of the Creator.

Therefore, Baal HaSulam and other Kabbalists write that we are obliged by all means to begin dissemination and lead humanity to this goal as quickly as possible, to explain to it what awaits us if we follow this path correctly and what awaits us if we act incorrectly. We have a clear instruction, and we must follow it.

There is such a force in nature that knows how to lead and develop humanity, we just need not interfere with it and rely on it.

Question: We evaluate everyone solely by whether they strive for unity. If not, then this methodology is not suitable for us.

But who said that unification is important and the goal of the entire universe? Why not some kind of abstraction, like an out-of-body experience? This is more important for  another person.

Answer: I am not interested in what is more important for the other person. Everyone can make up whatever they want.

We believe Kabbalists, and this faith is confirmed by our knowledge when we follow their path and reveal the upper world.

They tell us that once we were one single whole and then scattered into pieces, meaning egoism tore us apart, separated us from each other, and acts between us as a repelling force.

But we have to cancel this force and reconnect. The moment we do this, we will immediately perceive the next level of the universe, the next world, called the upper, the divine, because it is above egoism.

Then we will already identify ourselves, not with our body, but with our common unified desire, which we have assembled from all the pieces. This common desire is called the soul.

Kabbalists explain to us how to do this and what we feel in the process. As for what comes to different people’s minds, so what can be done? This is where the disunity of humanity once began.

As Maimonides, the great philosopher of the XII century, writes, initially people felt that there is one single force. Initially, this was known to everyone. And then they saw that this force manifests itself through various actions in nature: wind, sun, and so on at the inanimate, animate and vegetative levels.

And people began to come into contact with these forces because they are closer to them than some abstract force called the Creator.

They began to worship the possible signs of nature, even to the point where they began creating idols, building temples, and making offerings. This is how religions and beliefs began to develop.

Thus, people broke away from the feeling of the one Creator, the single force of nature, and unification with Him and fell into the feeling of ordinary animate nature.

Comment: You once explained that there is a layer of souls that communicate with each other and actually interact on some spiritual level without even realizing it.

My Response: Yes, we do indeed exist on a spiritual level, but we just don’t feel it. Like, for example, a newborn baby who is born in our world, he is registered in all the records, many people are already working for him, supplying him with food, diapers and everything necessary, but he does not feel it.

But he is in this system. The system takes complete care of him, responds to him.

Similarly we are in the spiritual system, but we do not feel it. And the system responds to us and provides everything necessary for our advancement. However, in our case, everything depends only on us, on our desire.

Question: When transitioning to the next phase, does a person perceive the same thing in a completely different way, for example, the same layer of our conversation?

Answer: Of course, differently. He begins to feel the system in which he exists: how it responds to him, how he can influence it, what “he himself” means. He comprehends himself in relation to it.

Yet there is a difference for a person, whether he is an infant, a small child, or an adult.

Comment: Understanding this is a very interesting thing. In my opinion, only Kabbalah allows this to be done.

My Response: When that world, that universe in which we actually exist, is revealed to a person, it is the highest pleasure for him, which fills him infinitely! We are created by this light, this perception, this eternity, perfection, and harmony.

Therefore, today, when we are outside of it, our life represents absolute misery. But for lack of anything better, we are content with this, like a person born in prison does not feel that there could be something else. Try to release him from prison, he will immediately want to go back because he will not be able to orient himself in another world.
