Question: To what extent can a rational explanation touch the level of desire in the masses?

Answer: By carrying out explanatory work around the world through books and mass media, we are not only dealing with external factors and performing an informational task. We are also initiating a spiritual correction of the world whereby each part of the world receives knowledge from above about the purpose of creation through us. This is already a spiritual act.

We should not think that we are merely performing some corporeal action. It is as if we are laying down pipelines through which a certain knowledge about the purpose of the world and the purpose of a person that stem from the plan of creation reaches everyone. In this way, we connect each individual to the Creator.

The individual and the collective are equal. There is no difference between how a person corrects himself and how the entire world undergoes correction. The law is the same because the shattering resulted in each part becoming mixed with all the others. Therefore, the process that one person undergoes is no different from the process the entire world undergoes.

In truth, there is nothing complicated about it. If it becomes clear, if we are able to explain it to the world, it will, in turn, clarify and illuminate many things in the world.

Those who connect to this idea will truly be called “spiritual Israel.” And from an inner feeling of necessity, they will feel that they must go through correction.

In our days, the correction of the world begins with the nation of Israel—specifically with those who engage in the Torah and replace the study of its external part with its internal part.

Before the destruction of the First and Second Temples, people dealt only with the inner part of the Torah, meaning that each person, due to the “subtlety” of their soul, had knowledge of the spiritual world. And the prophets, who were in an even deeper and higher connection with the Creator than the others, served as the spiritual leaders of the nation.

However, when the downfall occurred and prophets disappeared from among the people, the era of the sages began. People began to engage in external actions instead of internal ones, and this continues up to our days.

At the end of the Introduction to The Book of Zohar, Baal HaSulam writes that now it is necessary to return from the external part of the Torah to its internal part, and to engage in those actions that can bring us to mutual guarantee (Arvut), which we once lost. This is what is referred to as the destruction of the first and second temples.

If we return to the inner part of the Torah, whose light o brings us to mutual guarantee, then we correct ourselves and merit receiving the Torah, the upper light.

Then, because this will happen with us, all the nations will join us, since after the exiles there was such a mingling of souls that if today a small “subtle” part replaces the external with the internal and merits to reach mutual guarantee and receive the Torah, then afterward the entire world will be able to join in, and through this “subtle” part receive the light of correction according to the condition of mutual guarantee. And then the upper light, the Creator, will dwell within all souls.

From this we see that the principle remains unchanged: the upper force acts upon the “subtle” part according to equivalence of form, and the “subtle” part mixes with the “coarse” part, and then brings about mutual correction.

These things are simple. In general, in the whole Torah, in all of Kabbalah, in all of reality, there is one very simple law. And it is precisely because of its simplicity that it is difficult for us to perceive it.

In its simplicity, it is very far from us, for it is simple in bestowing, and not in receiving.

Question: How is a mega-congress different from other congresses?

Answer: A mega-congress is a unified gathering of all people on Earth. We are trying to bring as many people as possible into unity—those who are unaware, in disagreement, indifferent, neutral, or far from anything spiritual—so they can discover that this exists and begin to understand the roots of their personal misfortunes and the global suffering in the world.

We want them to begin to sense the idea of a unified direction of humanity, society, and all of nature.

After all, we are entering a streak of failures that is systemic in nature, and we need to understand it. Why keep trying to run away from it? There are volcanoes here, droughts there, floods, terrorism, war, or other crises.

These problems need to be solved! After all, we are rational beings. So, let’s try to understand the world we live in.

Science has practically given up on this already. Politicians can’t do anything either; we see that from the outcomes of their summits, nor can the financiers. They are just trying to steal as much as possible before the end, while no one knows or understands what is coming next.

People have lost all sense of direction; they have no strength left to do anything. We have become ungovernable, and we no longer control anything ourselves. In other words, our egoism has ceased to be the driving force that guides us and allows us to manage our lives. Now, it no longer works.

Only interconnectedness, global unity, and the closed nature of the whole system can guide our lives now. This needs to be studied.

We must rewire our thinking, like a crew in a submarine facing danger working together to survive. They are specially trained to be united, to sense one another, and to understand that their personal survival depends entirely on the success of the whole.

Question: Why is it that when different people ask you the same question, you give different answers?

Answer: I give one answer, but on different levels. I am not a two-faced Janus, and I am not lying. It depends on who is asking the question and to whom the answer is given: a small child, an adult, a man or a woman, and so on.

That is, there are different versions of the answer. In principle, the answer is one, but its external expressions may vary.

Question: You say that in Kabbalah all your feelings are in Hebrew. When you read Kabbalistic texts in this language or listen to them, how do you perceive them?

Answer: When I read a Kabbalistic text in Hebrew, I perceive it within myself. Just like when you read a text about some situation in our world in Russian, it creates a certain inner picture within you.

It is the same for me when I read a Kabbalistic text. It creates an inner picture in me because I already possess a certain set of qualities that correspond to these words, terms, sentences, and connections.

Therefore, while reading, I assemble this picture inside myself like a mosaic, and it begins to live within me. As I continue through the text, it all shimmers, rotates, connects, and separates within me. The text lives in me and carries out its actions. I feel it as my life experienced in that very moment.

It is similar to when you read fiction and become immersed in the story.

We need to make people feel that unity has become second nature to us. After all, we are coming together and striving to create a common system of connections that should shape us into an entirely new humanity.

From this unity, new, clearer, and more stable connections between people should emerge, and within them, social relations should begin to form on an entirely new level.

Even new enterprises, educational systems, and media systems should arise from this network. The system of our interconnection, based on unity and absolute equality, should begin to generate systems of a new humanity founded precisely on the formula of complete interconnectedness and complete equality. Then we will become like the upper force, because no one will dominate another. In this, we will fully resemble the Creator.

The truth is that humanity has never had the opportunity to become equal. For centuries, many have strived for freedom, equality, and fraternity, understanding that this is the ideal.

But we could not solve this problem because we were not developed enough, and inside us, egoism was always boiling. A few idealists thought about it, while the rest tried to extract selfish gain from it.

Now this problem has become global. Every person, every family, feels it. Thus, we now have the opportunity to rethink and redefine everything, because today we can attract the upper force and with its help correct ourselves.

In other words, our congresses will become centers, and in between them, we will build an ever-widening community of people who will be able to grasp the new idea—a completely new paradigm, a completely new foundation, upon which all human institutions must be rebuilt. This includes industry, economy, banking, human relationships, family ties, relationships between children and parents, and education.

Everything we have done on this Earth must be rebuilt in accordance with a global system of governance. Then we will truly become fortunate and happy.

I believe that our congresses will begin to carry this idea into humanity, and people will realize that it is essentially a source of new understanding and knowledge through which we can build a better life for ourselves.

Comment: You say that we have entered a period where the process of correction is already taking place. But to us, it is not noticeable. We do not see anything except that everything is happening more intensively.

My Response: The process of exposing our egoistic nature is indeed happening, and it is becoming clear to everyone. Psychologists, sociologists, and politicians who think about these matters are starting to more or less realize that egoism, which is our very nature, is essentially what is destroying us.

People just think there is no cure for it, and so they throw up their hands and continue living as before: “What can be done? That is just how we are. We will keep devouring each other.”

That is why we need to develop the wisdom of Kabbalah to show people that it is not so. The process has begun, but it must be taken under conscious control and directed toward the goal by ourselves so that nature does not drive us toward happiness “with a stick.” Of course we do not yet see the egoism corrected, but we already see the recognition of egoism as evil. And that is the preliminary stage.

Already several million people around the world are able to hear that the egoism is meant to be corrected so that precisely through it, we ascend to the level of the Creator. If we make an effort to disseminate this knowledge, then by uniting among us, we will break through humanity’s disbelief, emptiness, and laziness, and give people the opportunity to understand that perfection and eternity are attainable, and that we are standing at the threshold of a very serious, elevated process.

We are not beings without a rudder or sails, without a clan or a tribe. We exist within the highest process of nature, within the Creator, who leads us from one end of creation to the other. We are now at a very critical, culminating point from which we can begin to move consciously, revealing worlds before us and feeling ourselves as part of the universe.

I believe that our current state is special. That is what the Kabbalists write. We must try to make these days of humanity more intense, more revealing of the great goal that stands before humanity. It was created by nature, and we will reach it anyway, but now we have the opportunity to consciously and swiftly realize it ourselves.

Question: Do you speak about the correction process not only with regard to the group but to all of humanity?

Answer: To all of humanity. The group is separate. Regarding our international group, which includes hundreds of thousands of people around the world who hear and are already absorbing this, we can say only one thing: this group is already a real spiritual force in the world, not by human standards but by spiritual qualities. If we measure not by numbers but by spiritual qualities, we are the greatest force in the world.

We must respect our community and understand what an opportunity we have to accelerate humanity’s development, to make it pleasant, easy, and inspiring, instead of allowing it to continue in division, anxiety, and fear of world war or ecological disaster.

Comment: You, as a Kabbalist on high spiritual levels, constantly go against your own desire and come to the lessons most likely in a difficult state, not with the same joy as the newcomers.

My Response: So what? That is my duty. Of course, it is hard for me, but I feel the highest obligation. There is not even a question about it.

How can I not come to the lesson when it is a means of dissemination, of conducting the Creator’s line in this world?! I have been authorized to do it.

I am simply fulfilling a mission from above, and I am grateful for the opportunity to carry it out. And every day it is a miracle that I manage to give a three-hour lesson, explain, write a blog, answer questions, and appear on some television program.

I see this as a gift, a great favor that the Creator has done for me. What difference does it make whether it is hard or not? It is so important, so necessary! At least that is how I see it. That is what gives me strength.

Question: You are a teacher. Who could replace you in teaching?

Answer: I do not think that it is even necessary. There are around 20,000 recorded lessons. There is an enormous volume of knowledge, advice, and practical exercises in Kabbalah,  more than enough for deep study and real application.

As long as I am able, I will continue moving forward. Once I stop, nothing more is needed. People can take these archived lessons and study them systematically. There is at least ten years’ worth of material; it is plenty to achieve everything needed. It is more than enough.

Still, everyday I try to offer something new. I continue to find clearer examples, simpler language, and more accessible ways to express the material.

In Kabbalah, simplicity is key. Unlike philosophy or other sciences where complexity is often valued, Kabbalah demands the opposite: to convey lofty, abstract, and intangible concepts in ways that are close and understandable, especially to the average person. Today Kabbalah is meant for widespread dissemination.

I am working to make it accessible to everyone. The great 12^th century Kabbalist Rambam wrote that we must develop this method and simplify it so it is ready for women, children, and those without formal education, in short, for all people. Not just for intellectuals or a small elite, but for every individual in the world.

Ultimately every person must correct their nature and attain the level of the Creator. That is the essence of our generation’s mission or perhaps of the next one, but within the coming decades, we must reach it.
