Torah, “Numbers,” 35:33 – 35:34: And you shall not corrupt the land in which you live, for the blood corrupts the land, and the blood which is shed in the land cannot be atoned for except through the blood of the one who shed it. And you shall not defile the land where you reside, in which I dwell, for I am the Lord Who dwells among the children of Israel.

Blood is the Light of Hochma. Water is the Light of Hassadim. It is impossible to reach the harmonious society and the state of connection between parts of the common soul if we do not interact with each other correctly egoistically. Our egoistic parts have to be appropriately connected to each other.

It turns out that while remaining an egoist, each one establishes altruistic connections with others, like extending wires of altruism between themselves. I, from my egoism, head altruistically to you, and you, from your egoism, in the same way to me, but inside, each of us remains in his desire! We override this desire and work only above it, building bridges above egoism.

The most important thing is to make a restriction on myself and a screen and the correct attitude to others. Then we, in practice, place at the head of our actions all the connections crisscrossing between us, not ourselves.

This huge, multi-layer, multi-vector web of connections is called the “common soul”—one for all! Each one of us individually is nothing, but by participating in the operation of the universal “web,” it is its creator.

The Torah, “Numbers,” 36:10 – 36:13: As the Lord had commanded Moses, so did Zelophehad’s daughters do. Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah married their cousins. They married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained with the tribe of their father’s family. These are the commandments and the ordinances that the Lord commanded the children of Israel through Moses in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan at Jericho.

The law that forbids blending is related to the time, place, and tribe. It conveys multilayered combination of all levels of nature: still, vegetative, animate, and human. All of them need to connect together correctly.

Mutual support existed between the tribes but there was no intrudion of one tribe to another. Same as one organ can’t invade another in the human body.

Twelve tribes is an integral scheme. The world is also divided into the same twelve tribes, twelve organs. We can add to it another eight billion people and all of them will fit into this scheme.

Question: Will the tribes be abolished when the world becomes unified?

Answer: I don’t think they will be abolished. Perfection is achieved only due the fact that there is separation and combination. When it becomes completely harmonious, the world will be completely corrected. A plus and a minus will remain in it, opposite properties, but they will complement and always highlight and distinguish each other.

In the Torah there is a very clearly description of all possible laws of commutation between parts of the common soul that is built through the process of ascending forty degrees of so-called forty year journey in the desert, when the degree of Bina, joint correct interaction, is reached, but so far only toward the property of bestowal.

It means that I don’t harm you and you don’t harm me. We restrict our egoism and learn to rise above it, to coexist without touching each other: yours is yours, and mine is mine. And the next degree is really correct connection of all the parts of the soul, when they collide by their inner egoistic desires that grow and create between them some kind of formations above egoism.

And then, before entering the land of Israel, they reach absolutely complete state of Bina and can start an ascent to the level of Hochma. This is a very high degree.

Make Sure That It Never Happens Again

Question: What does it mean to maintain high human spirits even during such suffering as happened during the Holocaust?

Answer: High human spirits means to be one man, Adam, in total unity. Adam HaRishon is a system that connects together all people in the world so that we feel dependent on each other and connected by mutual guarantee.

Accordingly, we receive education and develop our relationships until we discover that our world is filled with the force of good, not the force of evil.

But this is only on condition that we strive to exist within this force. If we do so, a good future awaits us. However, if we don’t do it, then I am afraid that we will have a period that will be no less difficult than during the past Holocaust. We need to understand that the laws of nature, that don’t make concessions, operate here.

Baal HaSulam writes that Nazism isn’t a German invention, but a natural form of development of the egoistic society. After socialism, comes Nazism. Today, the whole of Europe is socialistic, and America is becoming more and more socialistic. Therefore, with a slight delay after Europe, it will come to Nazism as well. It will happen very quickly.

Humanity is coming to the peak of hatred for each other because Jews who have the method of connection don’t realize it and are not passing it to the world. Because of this, the enitre world is drowning in blatant, outright hatred, uniting against the Jews.

Where once only Germany acted against the Jews and the rest of the countries remained neutral, today, such an attitude will be revealed in the entire world. There will not be a single nation left, not a person, who would not hate Jews, Israel, and the people of Israel.

Question: Why does the force of the good connection exist only in Jews?

Answer: Jews acquired this force during their history, starting from receiving the wisdom of Kabbalah, and implementing it on themselves in times of the first and second temple. It is written that we must pass this force of connection to all of humanity when they require it.

Humanity has been in need of it for a long time already, and we must work on this. However, the people of Israel—who so far are deaf to their mission and engaged in all sorts of material games and values that are not at all in the spirit of our people—are called to be spiritual leaders of humanity and bring light to the other nations. This is a very dangerous situation, and we don’t have time for contemplation.

Of course, we are impressed by examples of courage and overcoming that were displayed by Jews during the Holocaust. However, today, we must talk not about that, not about how we managed to go through such trials and preserved human dignity even in the concentration camps. We need to think about how we can make sure that it never happens again! After all, this is the most relevant question of our time.

Question: If the Creator created the creature in his image and likeness, why correct it?

Answer: In the Torah it is said that the Creator created Adam. “Adam” in Hebrew means man. In other words, Adam is the ideal image of a human being who was created by the Creator in His likeness.

After that, the same Adam sinned, meaning that he fell from the spiritual level, from the characteristic of bestowal and love, from resemblance to the Creator, to a level opposite to Him, and was fragmented into tiny particles.

So now we must join all of the particles and “rebuild” the same Adam. We are called the children of Adam because in each one of us there is a fragment of him. We need to connect together and rise our inner longings and corrections of the ego to the Creator together. Today we are not in his likeness but are the complete opposite.

So it is up to us to return to our original likeness by correcting all the fragments and connecting into one single whole representing the sum total of that single Adam. This is our correction. The way toward correction is through implementing the general rule, “And you shall love your friend as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18).

Question: How is it possible to explain that there are people who suffer more and there are people who suffer less? For example, someone is born homeless and rootless and his entire life is a struggle for survival, while another is born in abundance and doesn’t experience serious obstacles and suffering in his life.

Answer: Each one of us is a different level of the spiritual Adam. He is found more in one piece and less in another. Each comes from different levels: the brain, the hands, the legs, the body, etc.

Adam is a spiritual system, but if we scrutinize him according to our body, then each one is a different part, a different root of this one big soul. Each one has a different destiny, different initial conditions, and of course, different final states.

As we connect together into one single likeness, each one and everything that is in him completes and balances itself. The lower a person is, the easier it is for him to enter into the required correction than another person. In the end, the specific work of each one is identical.

Question: We don’t have much information about Kabbalists who have attained the high spiritual levels. It seems that they worked for themselves. What does humanity benefit from their work?

Answer: First all of humanity is a precise, totally closed system of souls that includes all those who have passed away, who are alive, who have not been born yet, those who are in the spiritual world, or on our level. It makes no difference where they are and in what form. The levels of nature are also included in this system: the still nature, the vegetative, and the animate levels.

In other words, all of nature is in perfect harmony, in connection and agreement in one integral schema, and so we should not separate a certain part from the rest. Everything is included in one system that is interconnected.

It makes no difference whether a person feels it or not. He is part of it! Everything depends on the mutual cooperation with this immense system, which is actually one unique general soul. It depends on how a person affects it and how he brings the general soul to the best state, to a state of perfection.

In the News (from psychologytoday.com): “A new study has confirmed that humankind’s capacity for love and friendship sets us apart from all other species. Researchers at University of Virginia have found that humans are hardwired to empathize with those close to them at a neural level.

“People in your social network literally become entwined with your sense of self at a neural level. ‘With familiarity, other people become part of ourselves,’ …

“Humans have evolved to have our self-identity become woven into a neural tapestry with our loved ones. James Coan said, “Our self comes to include the people we feel close to. This likely is because humans need to have friends and allies who they can side with and see as being the same as themselves. And as people spend more time together, they become more similar.” …

“‘The correlation between self and friend was remarkably similar,’ Coan said. “The finding shows the brain’s remarkable capacity to model self to others; that people close to us become a part of ourselves, and that is not just metaphor or poetry, it’s very real. Literally we are under threat when a friend is under threat. But not so when a stranger is under threat.”

“‘It’s essentially a breakdown of self and other; our self comes to include the people we become close to,’ Coan said. ‘If a friend is under threat, it becomes the same as if we ourselves are under threat. We can understand the pain or difficulty they may be going through in the same way we understand our own pain.'”

My Comment: In general, we are parts of a common network, a web of relationships. We have yet to discover its universality. Accordingly, we can understand the extent to which we each shape each others’ lives, which means that a complete connection between us will bring us to a perfect existence. Out of necessity, everyone becomes close and connects as in a network.

Question: If a person is born with a certain spiritual potential, can he increase it above what is given?

Answer: Every person is born with a certain spiritual potential that can be increased through the study in a Kabbalistic group where together with other people he will develop his potential with the help of others. And everyone develops in such a way.

After all, we are small pieces of one single system called Adam that broke into many particles. We have to put this puzzle together. If my interaction with others is correct, then together with them I assemble some part of this puzzle, a small fragment. As a result, within this fragment I can begin receiving some sensation of the upper world.

When ten people get together and interact with one another in the correct way, they create a mini-image of the upper world where, just like in a magic mirror, they can reveal that world.

Question: How will I know that I have transcended to an upper level of existence?

Answer: You will see and understand it by what you experience because you will transcend to a state that is not limited by your corporeal body, mind, or corporeal feelings. You will begin to perceive everything not inside you but in the general mass to which you are fully interconnected and in which all the people on the planet acquire a single attribute of one single human being.

We have to experience the upper state by studying the wisdom of Kabbalah in order to truly feel and understand it; the wisdom of Kabbalah is a practical scientific method. Just as you have been taught in your childhood to perceive this world, to be in it, feel it, clarify it, and respond to different situations, so you will also be taught in a much more profound manner how to perceive the upper world.

You were born with corporeal senses, but you have to create the spiritual senses by yourself through your connection to others. This method is not created and automatically fulfilled in a person.

All have to discover it inside themselves. Even if one of the students refuses to do so now, he will still have to come back to finish “his game” later. It cannot be any other way because we are in development. The levels of the still, vegetative, and animate nature are the phases of evolution we have undergone, and now we are facing the next phase, the human level, on which we will exist in a general, collective, inclusive, integral form of man.

Question: Why were each of us given a different fate?

Answer: It is because the eight billion people who populate this planet are an integral system in itself that is made of ten Sefirot. Ten Sefirot is the system of humanity, a powerful system that has ten components, and is one whole and unique which includes all of us and all of our attributes.

Kabbalists study and explore the system: who is in it, which part he belongs to, how the nations connect within it, and how it can be led to total integral unity. Then, all of humanity will be balanced with nature that surrounds us, and we all will ascend to the next level of our evolution, to another dimension.

A person who studies the wisdom of Kabbalah and perceives it, sees these ten Sefirot. On the one hand, he is incorporated in them, in their action, and at the same time, he still is tied to humanity by his feet and must care about its ascent.

The Person In A Good World

Question: If nature is a single body, what is the optimal participation of a person within it?

Answer: Most interesting is that a person has a unique mission in nature. It is very difficult for people to connect together because this is against our nature, our egoistic evil inclination. But if we try to connect and unite despite everything, by that we influence all of nature.

After all, a person is above all the rest of nature, and so our thoughts act like ultramodern weapons, the most powerful and revolutionary of all the weapons in the world. It has been kept secret so far, but there are already many organizations in each country that are developing methods of influencing a person’s thoughts. If we knew how to do this, then through the desire in our heart and the thought in our brain, we would be able to influence the world much more strongly than through any other means available in our world.

Question: What can I do with my thoughts?

Answer: So far you aren’t in a state where your thoughts can work in the world because you aren’t included in the system of creation; you haven’t discovered the system of connections between all thoughts. But later you will discover you are within a web that connects your thoughts with the thoughts of other people, and your desires with the hearts of all the people in the world. And you can influence their minds and hearts when you put your thoughts and desires into them. When you learn to do this, you will see what a revolution it is possible to make in the world.

Question: Doesn’t this seem like a very powerful means that gives me control over the entire world?

Answer: This is an extraordinarily powerful means, but we can use it and see the system only on condition that we have a good influence for the benefit of others. There is a security barrier on which it is necessary to make a Tzimtzum (restriction) on our egoism.

First we must attain the good power we can positively influence others with. And then we are granted the right to influence the world. Whether we want it or not, we are advancing towards this state. All of the problems of the modern world endured by humanity today are sent so we will understand that there is no choice: we must discover the overall system and enter into it.

We must bestow good upon the world, and then we will discover the entire system, the system of mutual bestowal, the good thoughts and desires called the soul. This system is one for all of us, one general soul.

It is specifically the wisdom of Kabbalah that makes it possible for us to discover it; it prepares a person for good reciprocal relationships, for a positive influence on everyone. And then a person is included in this system, reveals it, and accordingly begins to make useful, corrected actions, work on correcting the world, advancing the world to a good state.

In the future, all the inhabitants of the world will have this ability, and all of humanity will become one union, kindly influencing all thoughts and hearts, maintaining our good relationships. And all of us will become one system, one person; after all, we all  have only one soul.
