Question: What can one do so as not to reincarnate in the material world?

Answer: A person must reach either the whole or a fragmentary state of the soul.

It depends on the root of the soul. There are souls that reach their fragmentary correction, and further correction is carried out on the account of others. There are souls that have to work more actively. They come back to the material state and dress again in their “donkey” (animalistic body) to continue the attainment of the upper world from the next level.

That is, some reincarnations occur in the spiritual form and some through dressings in our world.

Question: Could the soul reincarnate, let’s say, as a donkey, or only in a human body?

Answer: What does reincarnation have to do with a donkey? A donkey is an animalistic, vital force, nothing else.
What we feel as inanimate, vegetative, and animate manifestations around us and also as our own animalistic nature is only the feeling of our desire. Actually, this world does not exist. It is called “an illusory world.”

Therefore, such states are possible in our reincarnations when we rise to higher tens and then fall down and find ourselves in inanimate, vegetative, or animate nature again. Then, we rise again to the human level and afterward, to the spiritual height.

This is all just a metamorphosis of our reincarnation in one single desire, in one single soul.

We are talking only about one desire, which is divided into inanimate, vegetative, and animate degrees, and the human degree. We circulate in this desire, up and down, down and up: inanimate, vegetative, human; animate, vegetative, inanimate, human. And so on, and that is all. When one is in animate perception, meaning on an animate level of desire, one feels himself in his body.

Question: Does the existence of our world have value?

Answer: The existence of our world has very great value because only within this state is it possible to achieve correction.

Therefore, I highly recommend appreciating life and the opportunity that has been given to us. Who knows if there will be another opportunity like this and when?

Question: What does it mean that part of the general soul is clothed in a female body? What is the uniqueness of the correction if it is clothed in the feminine part?

Answer: There is no concept like this! There is a constant flow of the state of the general soul from male to female, from female to male, including the men and women in our world.

A soul is something amorphous that floats between everyone, or you could say that this is what we are floating in. There is a single soul for everyone.

In spirituality, if I want to bestow to someone, to the Creator or to another person, I am called male (a man) and if I want to receive, then I am called a female (woman). Sometimes I am a male and sometimes I am a female. In our world, we are precisely divided into men and women; whereas in spirituality, everything depends only on us.

Question: For a person who attains the spiritual world, is there a possibility that he will not return to this world again?

Answer: For a person who hasn’t completely finished attaining the upper world, there is no other possibility to attain it in a final way other than to return to this world and attain the upper world within it. In this case, his existence in this world will be different.

The main thing is to begin the breakthrough to attain the upper world, and then the movement in it in all incarnations will already be different.

Question: How is it possible to differentiate between the imagination and the reality of attaining the spiritual world?

Answer: Before attaining the spiritual world, a very negative reality of our world will be revealed, on the face of which a person discovers the truth.

Question: Why are we so different if we are parts of one soul?

Answer: Even in the human body, each organ works differently: at its own pace, with its own dynamics. Even though in the spiritual world all of us are one single soul, each one of us belongs to a different organ, and therefore, we are different. Wholeness is achieved specifically through the mutual connection between us.

Question: Does desire precede thought or are they not connected?

Answer: Desire is the main thing and it is constantly working within us. It must be replaced, directed, and corrected. So the only thing we can do is provide it with the right direction.

Question: You say that our soul is consciousness. Is it possible to say that this is the same as perception?

Answer: No, perception is the consequence of the correct structure of the soul.

Question: Can there be one soul for two people?

Answer: We have one soul for all.

Question: Do you believe that the theory of quantum physics is approaching the correct understanding of the soul, the structure of the spiritual part of the world?

Answer: It will never work, because what we can comprehend in our physical minds is not at all compatible with what exists in the spiritual space.

Question: Can the human body leave this world without acquiring the soul?

Answer: Certainly, in fact, the whole world is like that.

Question: Which of our characteristics or efforts does the wisdom of Kabbalah attribute to the spiritual baggage of a person who is capable of moving from one incarnation to another?

Answer: If a person has a desire to understand the meaning of life and he is lucky enough to find a teacher, a group, and a correct method for realizing this yearning, he is fortunate.

Question: How many years of study did you spend to reach your soul?

Answer: I don’t even remember, but at some point it turns out. This is different with each person.

Question: Can studying the wisdom of Kabbalah improve personal characteristics; is it possible to become a more sincere, respectable, kind, wise person?

Answer: Yes, but only on condition that it is useful for attaining the spiritual goal. Therefore, in our world it is not necessary that this be manifested in a form that is understood by everyone else.

Question: If the soul is divided into 600,000 parts, does everyone have his own part, just as the body has a head, arms, etc.? Or are all the parts identical?

Answer: No. In spirituality everything exists as an integral system. 600,000 parts is a conditional concept. We simply need to reach a level that is called 600,000 because this is the level of Arich Anpin in the head of the world of Atzilut. Zeir Anpin (60), attains the level of 10,000 and therefore it is called 600,000 (60 X 10,000), or Zeir Anpin rises to Arich Anpin of the world of Atzilut. These are not even parts but an intensity that we must achieve.

Question: I don’t understand, does a person recreate his soul or build a new one? Does the Creator allow such arbitrariness?

Answer: A person recreates something that was broken. But when he creates the soul from the broken parts, he begins to comprehend how this comes out, what this consists of, and what are its internal laws and properties. And this is already his possession.

Question: From the point of view of the wisdom of Kabbalah, what dies and what is left after the death of the body?

Answer: Nothing dies and nothing remains. Everything happens only in our consciousness, within which we live. There is nothing that will actually disappear, be born, and develop.

Only desire exists, and when we talk about the world of the still, vegetative, and animate, about people in our world, these are all our inner desires that portray such a reality for us.

I am compelled to repeat this so that people will gradually get used to the idea that our world doesn’t exist. It is only portrayed within us, as is the entire universe.

A person’s soul has its own individual root, a point in the heart, that is not related to anything or to anyone. There are different states in it that are divided mainly into male and female, high and low, right and left, etc.

This means that there is a significant distinction between the souls according to their attributes. This has nothing to do with the value of the soul because if it is a closed system, if a certain part, even the smallest one, ceases to function, the whole system will come to a halt. Therefore, the value of every soul is equal to the value of the whole system.

At the same time, there is a great difference between the individual souls; each one is different from the others. But in the ultimate state, which we will eventually reach, all the souls are equal. On the way, there can be male and female souls, souls of children and of adults, souls from the right line or the left line, etc., and even with regard to height, there are souls that belong to each of the ten levels.

Question: Suppose there is a male soul in a body of man and he has to attain a certain part of the soul or the whole soul, and then he has to return to another life. Does that mean that he has to be in a male body again?

Answer: We needn’t think that it has anything to do with how the soul resides in a body in our world. I don’t want to talk about that because then it will be difficult for us to avoid the wrong impressions.

A person’s body doesn’t determine anything, whereas the point in the heart that one has to develop is eternal. I have to think about how to make it complex and integral, integral with the other points, and how to unite with as many people as possible in mutual bestowal.

Question: You claim that according to Baal HaSulam, man descended from the ape. Could it be that Baal HaSulam was wrong? After all, it says in the Torah that the Creator created man in His image and His likeness.

Answer: It isn’t only Baal HaSulam who says that man descended from the ape. Many other Kabbalists write about that. When we speak about man, it should be clear what man we refer to. If we refer to a man who is flesh and blood in our world, we refer to the level of the animal, and in this case, we should agree with what the books say.

Three hundred years before Darwin, a great Kabbalist the Ari said that man is the next phase that descends from the monkey, which is the intermediate phase between the animate level of nature and man.

Our animate state is accurately attained by Kabbalists. Moreover, when the Ari wrote about it, it was not a new idea about creation and the development of man from the ape since it was already mentioned in The Book of Zohar, which was written in the second century.

Kabbalists saw this process by seeing the development of the upper forces, and they described it in just a few sentences, which were enough to understand everything. When we examine the system of creation, we divide it into five levels according to the five phases of the spreading of the Direct Light. Therefore, when we speak about a certain object, we have to talk about it on all levels of its development.

Man is called a soul without a body. Just like any other animal, the body undergoes its phases of development and dies, while the soul only accompanies it. The body helps the soul develop. This is its mission. As long as a person has not acquired his soul and has not begun to assemble it from the shattered parts, he exists in a body.

When a person begins to correct his soul, that is, his intentions from receiving for his own sake to bestowal unto others, he is no longer a monkey and not man in our world but a human being (Adam). The human level symbolizes man (Adam) that resembles the Creator, even it is only in one small part of the desire that emerges in him. The small part that is corrected is called Man (Adam). From this perspective, there are no human beings in our world; there are only apes that resemble man in their shape. If we speak about humans, we call them souls. Therefore, it depends on what we speak about and on which level.

Question: What did the Creator create: a biological body or our soul?

Answer: The Torah speaks about everything, but it basically speaks about the soul. Everything we see around us doesn’t actually exist, but is inside us in the form of different desires. The replicas of our desires are imprinted around us and are called “this world.” Objects in the form of the still, vegetative, animate, and human nature, which we see, represent impressions of our internal attributes.

We are in a matrix in which there are only forces that depict ourselves to us, and everything that we see inside us and outside ourselves, are like on a computer screen. When we see our internal desires, which are aimed for our own sake on the screen, they depict our world to us. When the internal desires and forces are aimed at the sake of others, they depict the upper world to us. This is how we are made.

Question: In spiritual development, how is it possible to understand which efforts will succeed and which will turn out to be empty?

Answer: In the articles by my teacher Rabash, it is stated very well in which efforts one must invest to discover the next level of existence, which will not happen as abstract theory, but precisely through the elevation of the person to this level.

Nevertheless, the physical body will continue to live in our world on the beastly level, while the person attains the next level of existence internally and establishes himself there forever, feeling the eternal and complete flow of the higher nature. There is no longer any time, movement, or any of the characteristics and features that are typical of our world.

Question: Are spiritual attainments transmitted to the next incarnation of the soul?

Answer: Spiritual sensations are not transmitted, but pass to the next incarnation as Reshimot (remembrances) of information, and the person continues his spiritual development from the previous level.

Suppose that I was born in the 20^th century and toward the age of 40 I attained a particular spiritual level. In the next incarnation, I will attain my spiritual level toward the age of 30 thanks to having already learned the wisdom of Kabbalah. This level will be much higher because by that time there will be a general acceleration of the world.
