Question: What does the correct perception of the outside world mean?

Answer: By the outside world, in this case, we mean the ten. To be connected with the outside world means to gather with all the friends of the ten in a circle and from within this circle, that is, in the connection between us, to appeal to the Creator.

Question: Is all that we feel as bitterness an action of bestowal, and all that we feel as sweetness reception?

Answer: Yes, in our uncorrected feelings it is so, for now.

Question: How do we come to the perfect prayer so that the Creator hears us as one person with one heart?

Answer: The Creator perfectly feels your states, your degrees, and your capabilities. Therefore, there is nothing to complain about Him, but only about yourself.

Question: As a rule, we turn to the Creator out of a state of despair. And if I am calm and reasonable, do I have a chance to be heard?

Answer: It does not depend on what state you are in, but on how much you need to turn to the Creator and what you turn to Him with. If you have such a need, then you will have a connection with the Creator.

Regarding the war, the world has split sharply in two: for or against Israel. This confrontation manifests itself in every society and every corner of the world. What role does it play in the process of correction, and why is it happening this way?

I see this confrontation as a force that will oblige the people of Israel to unite. This pressure has no other purpose than to act on us so that we unite with each other.

The world is boiling, and everyone is looking at Israel as if it is an open wound on the body of the world. Why is such attention drawn to it? After all, if you look at the geographical map of the world, Israel is a very tiny country. However, this material map does not show the spiritual connection of Israel with the entire world.

It is not clear how it is possible that the whole world, billions of people with all their weapons, cannot cope with a tiny country that is almost invisible on the map. Here, the connection between the corporeal and spiritual world is clearly manifested, and we are at the most decisive point.

Despite the smallness of the State of Israel, the world feels particular importance in what is happening there. If you look at the size of this country on the map, it seems there is nothing to talk about. And yet they cannot do anything to us.

It is written in the prophets that at the end of correction, every person from the nations of the world will cling to a Jew to lead them to the holy land. It turns out that it is not enough for us to go out into the spiritual world, but we must bring everyone along with us, and the nations of the world will push us to rise to additional, still higher levels.

Question: When a Kabbalist comes out from under the influence of the whole world and merges with the Creator, what happens to him?

Answer: He begins to feel the governance of the Creator.

He ceases to perceive his own thoughts and feelings, begins to feel the thoughts and feelings of the ten, and to this extent comes closer to the Creator.

To feel the Creator’s thoughts in the ten means the revelation of His plan—what He really wants from us.

Question: In what form does He convey this to us? In the form of some kind of feeling or state?

Answer: In the form of our thoughts. And we feel that they come from Him.

“This is called “a handmaid who is heir to her mistress,” since the very power of the mistress—the control of the internality—is by the force of our wisdom and knowledge, as it is written, “we are distinguished, I and Your people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.”
Now, the handmaid has stepped forth and prides herself in public that she is the heir of this wisdom” (Baal HaSulam “A Handmaid Who Is Heir to Her Mistress“).

Mistress means the desire to reveal the Creator and the handmaid is external aspirations.

The problem is that now the external part of the knowledge of nature prevails in the world. That is completely wrong because it turns all the devices and governance of the world upside down. It turns out that people do not want to perceive the inner part of nature, study it, and master it. That is how all sorts of other teachings appear.

Even though, initially the handmaid’s aspirations were intended to single out the mistress, it turned out that she seized the place of the mistress and rules instead of her and hides behind something else, which is lighter, more pleasant, and more understandable. Therefore, people do not want to do the hard work of revealing the Creator.

Question: If we are talking about a ten, how can we determine that the handmaid has taken or is beginning to take the place of the mistress?

Answer: This is a very serious issue. In principle, it all depends on how a person feels and what he is drawn to—either to reveal all sorts of secrets of the universe or to follow the recommendations of the Creator. That is the difference.

“The four phases in the desire are the four letters HaVaYaH, which are KHB TM (Keter, Hochma, Bina, Tifferet, Malchut)” (Baal HaSulam, Study of the Ten Sefirot (TES). Vol. 1. Part 1. “Inner Observation”).

Question: How do Kabbalists attain HaVaYaH? Do they attain it as something whole, including all the elements, or in parts?

Answer: HaVaYaH is a system that starts from the Creator and ends in the depths of creation. Kabbalists attain it as something complete.

We study the desire that changes under the influence of the Creator. In other words, we learn how the Creator influences the desire until He brings it to the best state.

Attainment of HaVaYaH begins with the Kabbalist dissolving into it, if I may say. He understands that everything in him is created by the Creator or received from the Creator, and there is nothing from himself.

Question: If so, how does he reveal the entire structure of the development of the desire, from the Creator to the creation?

Answer: The Creator shows him how opposite to the upper light he was created, and in these two opposites, he attains the entire creation. The Creator does not need darkness and light, but man needs them to pass through all the intermediate phases between him and the Creator. That is how his spiritual development occurs.

Question: Every desire revealed in us is preceded by four discernments of the direct light. How can we reveal this to see the Creator’s actions behind all our desires?

Answer: Only in our connection with each other can we reveal the system of unity, along which the light passes through all our friends onto each of us.

The light must pass through them, reveal itself in each of them, and then you, who are at the last degree, will also be able to reveal it. Friends stand above you because they are higher than you, and they are the degrees by which the light descends to you, from above to below.

Question: How do we connect with them in order to rise from below?

Answer: You have to help them, add your desires to them, your Hisaron, your pressure. And then, by this, you will push them up, rise with them, and receive the light you evoke in them.

This system is the ten Sefirot in which each of us works from Malchut to Keter, where Keter is the Creator and the intermediate degrees between Keter and Malchut are all your friends.

Question: In the primary sources it is written that the Creator Himself, the upper force, is waging war with the evil inclination, with evil forces. So, it is said that He is a warrior. How should I understand this? Whose side is the Creator on when there are two fighting sides and each prays from the heart for victory? Who is the Creator with?

Answer: The Creator is with no one. He is completely uninvolved in these problems, although He initiates them. The thing is that His task is to call humanity to understand its nature and do everything to correct it. Therefore, a person must recognize himself as an absolute egoist and, based on that, find the key to self-correction.

Question: Let’s say there is a war going on, and both sides are praying for victory. How does the Creator, the upper force of nature, react to these prayers? It is said that the Creator feels everyone’s prayer that come from the heart. I am sure that from both sides, the prayer comes from the heart because everyone wants to win.

How can you, as a Kabbalist, determine who the Creator is with?

Answer: The Creator is with those who are closer to Him according to the criteria of goodness, unification, and the desire to help close ones, distant, strangers, everyone, no matter who. That is, we must study the properties of the Creator and try to understand them, and then accept and incorporate them into our environment.

Question: But if both nations are united and go against each other and each believes that they are fighting for freedom, for their people, for their families, then who is the Creator with? Is it possible to judge by the results; whoever wins, that is who the Creator is with?

Answer: No, it cannot be said that way either. We should just study the properties of the Creator, His laws, and see how close we are to them or not. Based on this, we will understand who  the Creator is with and how He guides creation.

Question: What is wrong in our current state that dissatisfies the Creator?

Answer: He is not satisfied with our condition. He wants us to draw closer to each other internally all the time, to apply spiritual force, and then all together to draw closer to the Creator.

Question: Why should the suffering of creation be great?

Answer: Real suffering is a feeling of lack of correction. Therefore, the more we advance, the small distances from each other cause us great suffering.

Question: How do we properly undergo corrections so that there is no rejection from each other in the form of suffering?

Answer: In any case, there must be rejections otherwise we will not recognize where else there are qualities that need to be corrected. Egoism must manifest itself because without it we will not understand what to correct.

Question: What can be called the mercy of the Creator toward the creation?

Answer: The mercy of the Creator is in the fact that He gives us the opportunity from such a low state in which we are cut off from connection with Him and our friends to reach adhesion with them and with Him.

This can be checked by the following criterion: We do not think about anything and anyone except the Creator, and all our actions are aimed only at filling and delighting Him.
