Question: In order to connect, Must we be equal in order to connect; will be not be to annul unless we are equal?

Answer: No, our unity does not depend on equality, it depends on accepting each other. The fact is there will never be equality between us.

Each of us is a unique individual, a separate organism with its own nervous system, mind, and feelings. There can only be equality if we make ourselves equal. We all have the same nature, the same goal, and in this respect we are equal.

As we progress, we become both more different and more equal. Egoism develops more and more in each of us; thus, we move away from each other. But everyone strives for the same goal, so we get closer and eventually become like one man with one heart.

Question: When Kabbalah speaks about the merging of two objects, does it mean integration with each friend or between each of us with the ten as the second object?

Answer: It is the adhesion of each one of us with a friend, the adhesion of each of us with the ten, the adhesion through my ten with other tens, and in general with everyone.

That is, there is multiple unification, multiplication, and combination of all our properties and desires that happen here. Then it turns out that we have a common vessel, a common desire, with common feelings where it is impossible even to understand where I am and where you are, where he is and where she is, and so on.

Everything merges together in one sphere, a sphere in which we see only one single force that created us, connected us, and brought us to it. We unite within this force without any difference between us. This is the connection of creation with the Creator.

Question: Do we connect and come to adhesion with each friend or with the ten?

Answer: You need to imagine the ten all the time and not break it down into individual friends, into individuals: this one is better or worse, this one is closer or farther from me. In no way you should do that.

Question: There is the force of the group. We know that if the friends do not pray for me, I will not rise. My spirit is lifted only by them thinking about me. That is how I use it. But what for?

Answer: In order to rise and pull them along with you; just like today maybe they are pulling you along with them. After all, everyone helps the other and thus we achieve the goal.

We must unite into one single system called Adam from which we all scattered by our egoism and return again to this single desire where everyone supports everyone, holds on and clings to each other, and thus unite in one heart. Then we will begin to feel only one force between us and around us—the Creator.

Question: Everything that happens in the tens means that the Creator is talking to us in this way. How do we learn to understand what He wants from us? By leading us either on the left line or on the right, what is He telling us in this way?

Answer: The Creator wants us to feel mutual love for each other within which we would prepare a place for Him so that He could be revealed in us. Our relationship of love for each other will be called Shechina—a place for the revelation of the Creator.

Everything that happens comes from our qualities, and therefore, we must change them to love, connection, and reciprocity.

Question: In spiritual understanding, is money a covering, a screen?

Answer: The screen is not a covering for your earthly properties, but the main means of getting out of yourself.

At first, you have purely egoistic desires for the spiritual world. They are called bad qualities because you want to consume and experience spirituality in the same way as this material world. Practically, this is implemented through your attitude toward the group and toward your friends.

That is, when I begin to get closer to them, I try to come out of myself into some common structure where we rise above ourselves and build some kind of external platform, a common external sensor, a mutual organ of perception, called a group (a group is not our bodies, but our common desire). We build it together outside of ourselves, then if I treat this construction as a consumer and I want to sense it the same way as I perceive this material world, then my wrong perception of our common sensor, i.e., the group, is called Yetser Ra—evil inclination.

It is specially created in me this way. It starts to manifest in me. It is not present in an ordinary person. Then, I try to change it not in my own favor, but specifically against myself.

It is not simple. I am constantly building a consumer attitude toward this common sensor, and then I am trying to overturn it into the property of bestowal, but I cannot change it.

To transform it into bestowal, I also need a special external force that is above the joint sensor that we are building. This force is called the Creator.

Therefore, this is what happens: I, the group (a common property), and the Creator are united together as the necessary three components without which it is impossible to find a way out of myself.

When you start doing this, you slowly begin to realize these mechanics. This is Kabbalah. It is the same for everyone and is ready for everyone.

Comment: There are people who when they start to study Kabbalah first light up, stay high for a while, and then slowly cool down or even leave. They are sucked into corporeal life and the importance of spirituality fades into the background.

My Response: This is a natural phase in everyone’s life. I see how my students are sometimes asleep for months and barely come to class, which they serve as a duty. And there are those who disappear and later come back again.

A person must fully work through his system, each stage like a rocket launcher; otherwise, he will not enter the orbit.

Moreover, one goes through very complex processes and internal and external discernments. This is a difficult path and there is no need to hide it. This is a search for oneself, a path to yourself you do not know yet and are creating on your own.

You have a drop of spiritual seed in you, but making an “incubator” for it to grow is your job. The incubator is the group, the atmosphere, an environment that will give you the importance of spiritual growth and supply material for it. It is the connection with others that will manifest in you like a connection with the umbilical cord from your mother’s body, from the large environment.

Therefore, in our dissemination, we must first of all create the right environment for every person on earth who would in this way be able to connect to his “incubator,” to his “womb,” and thus grow. Otherwise, he will not be able to grow. He must see himself connected to the great desire of others like him.

By connecting to them, he will add “meat” on his drop of seed, on virtually bare information, and receive a revitalizing force from the group. They will supply him with the importance of bestowal, connection, mutual love, and mutual guarantee.

The feeling that will come to him both from the connection with others in one system and from the feeling of a mutual, massive, benevolent force moving in this system, will enable him to be at the level of man, Adam, from the word “Domeh” (similar to the Creator). He will feel that together with others he holds a system within which a force called the Creator operates.

This is the environment, the atmosphere we must create for the world. We know how to do it, but we still have a lot of work ahead.

Therefore, in the time of Abraham, a Kabbalistic group was created, which later, like all of mankind, fell into this world in order to recreate itself today according to the methodology that was stored and developed in it all along and to explain to the whole world what we should be like.

Comment: Technical progress, especially artificial intelligence, is designed to free people from routine work. But some scientists say that man has begun to degrade intellectually. They say: “The brain, between “working and not working,” chooses “not working.”

The new generation has stopped thinking and analyzing. All information is on the phone. Your viewers claim that such a person is easier to manage. It all seems like a conspiracy to make us not think.

My Response: I think that this is a person’s natural attraction to non-action, to such a half-asleep state.

Then the person turns off his mental and other types of various abilities and lives with his eyes half open. And this is natural.

Question: So today we have come to such a naturalness. We used to struggle somewhat, but today we come to this?

Answer: We have become “wiser.”

Question: Please, tell me, if some brain function stops like this, then what function should open?

Answer: We will “sleep with our eyes open.”

Question: How is this different from drugs? Take it and sleep with your eyes open.

Answer: This is what we subconsciously strive for.

Question: Is this good in your opinion?

Answer: No. This is neither good nor bad, but it is where it is all going.

Question: So, what then? What future does such humanity have with its eyes half open and half asleep?

Answer: The fact is that we do not control our states.

Question: So there is still some kind of conspiracy from above?

Answer: Definitely!

Comment: We have an answer to the first question: there is a conspiracy.

My Response: It is not a conspiracy, but a program for our development to lead us through this state.

We must go through this state, maybe in this half-asleep and half-fainting state in order to agree with the upper management and not be too stubborn. And it will lull us all the time because it should lead us to new heights, to new heights of knowledge, and agreement with the higher force. And then we will be convinced that we are going the right way.

Question: So our goal is to come to an agreement with the higher force? And that is why it plays such a trick on us along the way? With us like that—somewhat half-asleep and calm—is it easier to reach this goal?

Answer: Of course.

Question: But the goal is to come to an agreement with a higher power?

Answer: Yes. We must accept its unconditional power over us.

Question: That is, that it exists and it owns us, and that is all. And it is like I am not there?

Answer: If I think about it correctly, then I am not. And this is the right way out.

Question: And do you think it is a good achievement that it exists and I do not?

Answer: Of course.

Question: What is next? What steps do I take? Here, You exist, but I do not exist; what are the conclusions from this?

Answer: You exist, You do it.

Question: I tell him: “You do it”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So, everything I do is done by You, and I agree with this? And is this good?

Answer: It is wonderful when a little egoist, a little man who is in the lowest of the worlds, cancels himself and does not want to interfere and ruin this world.

Question: Revolutions, coups, wars, and so on?

Answer: Yes, this is the best.

Question: That is, such a peaceful state of humanity that has cancelled itself before the highest is the best state?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Can you tell where He is leading us, the Supreme One? We have been canceled, where does He lead us?

Answer: He leads us to surrender to the upper force and not want to do anything ourselves. Only according to its advice.

Question: What is its biggest piece of advice?

Answer: We should feel like we belong to it unconditionally.

Question: So you are now all about this?

Answer: Of course. What else is there?

Question: That is, we correspond to it. Can we say that this corresponds to it?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Then the last question: what is it like, so that we can match it?

Answer: Absolutely kind! And that is how we should become.

The true reward is the power of bestowal for which I only lack a vessel, a desire, but the light is always there. That is, I only lack the desire to surrender to the Creator, and for this, I want to receive strength and intention.

I want to have the desire to rise to the right spiritual level and use my strength and intelligence correctly on it. And this is what I ask the Creator: give me the opportunities and strength that will help me build such a correct connection.

I want my desire to be more and more precisely directed towards the true goal, and for this goal to be more and more clearly visible to me as if manifesting itself from the fog.

The main thing is to receive the right desire, and then I will try to use it in the right form, that is, to turn to the Creator and ask for its realization. And the right desire is the one that leads me to unity with everyone, to one power of bestowal, within which I will reveal the Creator.
