Awaken Points in the Heart

138Question: Until a person has a “point in the heart,” they do not hear the Kabbalists. Is there any way to awaken it?

Answer: Only through external dissemination and internal work among those who already have this point.

If we unite internally (there are already millions of people around the world with an awakening point in the heart) and begin connecting with each other and understand that only in this way can we elevate ourselves, then we will inspire others. They will feel their “body” coming to life.

Imagine a body that was unconscious slowly starts to revive, its organs awaken one by one, pulls others along and helps them awaken as well. That is what we must do.

We must push ourselves forward, higher, out of this unconscious state, unconscious in relation to the Creator. Gradually, others will begin to feel that there is another state like ours, and that this reality is not the ultimate one. We can rise from it to the next level and begin to perceive something completely different even in this life and will experience ourselves as eternal and perfect beings.

You don’t need to abandon your corporeal life, it doesn’t disappear. You simply enhance it with the perception of the upper worlds where you feel the force that guides you in this world, the force that paints this reality for you.

Question: If only the Creator awakens the point in the heart, how can we do it instead of Him?

Answer: We are not doing it instead of Him! When we activate this field of force, the Creator, by striving to connect with each other so that it fills us, we also awaken all the other points that have not yet manifested in their owners. We awaken the entire field!

Question: Does this mean that everyone has a point in the heart?

Answer: Of course! Otherwise, people wouldn’t exist.

Question: Are all points in the heart the same, regardless of financial or other status?

Answer: Absolutely! They are independent of our corporeal world. They differ in their manifestation because they belong to different parts of the collective soul. However, the method of progress and correction is the same for everyone; the only difference is that each person experiences it individually.

Question: Are the points of Baal HaSulam and Rabash the same, just at a different level of manifestation?

Answer: The only difference is that they realized their points before you, and you are realizing yours later. But so what? Ultimately, everyone reaches the same level.

By connecting with others, each person includes everyone else within themselves. In the end, there are no exceptions or privileges for anyone.

Awaken the System of Souls

963.5Question: Your teacher Rabash was the last in the chain of Kabbalists from the period when this wisdom was concealed. Now you are his successor. But the system arranges everything in such a way…

If we compare 1995 with what is happening now, back then only a few people studied Kabbalah, but now I don’t even know where all these people interested in studying Kabbalah are coming from. How does this happen?

Answer: This means that the system of souls is beginning to awaken. It’s not about me. Even though we disseminate our materials everywhere, trying to present them to everyone like in a shop window, this alone does not particularly awaken people.

They are awakened from above, from within, from the side of their soul. We strive to ensure that at that moment, they have the right Kabbalistic materials available so that they can begin their studies.

Question: Can our sluggishness or lack of promptness delay the transmitting of spirituality?

Answer: Of course. That’s why, knowing my mission clearly, I try to fulfill it as much as possible in terms of both time and volume.

Question: Do you know your mission completely?

Answer: No, I don’t know what lies ahead for me. Maybe some new necessity will arise. But I do know that I need to make Kabbalah as accessible as possible to every person in the world and to present the sources to everyone.

That means making The Book of Zohar available, then working through all the articles of Rabash and the Kabbalistic materials of Baal HaSulam. In other words, I must transmit them in such a way that any person in the world can understand them and, by grasping them, move forward.

The Human Mission

533.01Question: Can a person determine their mission? Not invent it, but clearly reveal it?

Answer: One must feel it on their own. I think that in this matter, one cannot listen to anyone, only to their own heart. Look into the most essential. What do you want to leave behind? How can you contribute to this great process that is unfolding with humanity, even with souls? That is, with humanity, not in our world, but in a more perfect space.

Question: Suppose you have students who come, study, and leave, and there are those who invest in certain processes. How can those who come to study find their function? Or is their function simply to study?

Answer: First of all, by studying Kabbalah, you simultaneously correct yourself and the world and bring other souls closer to the point where they too begin to reveal the upper world and the Creator. Studying Kabbalah is an activity in itself.

However, in principle, when a Kabbalist is involved in other everyday matters and interacts with the world, these activities still exert a positive influence on the world. Even at their workplace, no matter what they do or how they communicate with people, they still subconsciously carries out their line, their positive influence on the world.

Question: So it does not have to be an explicit effort to invest in dissemination, to make a loud impact on the world?

Answer: No, if it is given, it is given; if not, then not. It is simply everyone’s mission. I am not to blame for being the way I am. If you were to ask me, “What would you like to do?” perhaps I would be more involved in development, writing, and creating another methodology. Not just another, but a less practical area.

I understand that what I have been given is the most suitable for me; it is just that I do not fully realize it yet. But I am drawn less to the practical actions I engage in (working with a group of students, television, books, and everything else) and more toward deeper, internal study of the material.

But probably the needs of the world and the times push me toward practical actions. Even Rabash told me this.

So there is nothing to be done. Everyone has their own mission, and it must be fulfilled. I do not see anything grand in my mission. I do not think it is visible in me that I take pride in it or value myself for what I do. There is no such thing in Kabbalah, such things are removed immediately.

The fact is that the entire space is filled only by the Creator; while you dissolve into Him, your “I” is not yours. A Kabbalist can only say that they are fulfilling the Creator’s will, and that is all. He does not have his own desire, they do not have themselves because their desire already aligns with the Creator’s desire.

Question: You said that you are drawn to deeper, internal study of the material. What do you mean?

Answer: Personally, I would study Kabbalistic material much more deeply. I do not know if I could describe it the way Baal HaSulam did in The Study of the Ten Sefirot or in his articles. Quite possibly, I could not. But I am drawn to deeper analysis, to revealing connections, not revealing them to the world, but first and foremost to myself. It is difficult for me to express this.

For example, to present the methodology the way Rabbi Shimon did in The Book of Zohar, but to describe it in a way that is closer to us, to people—more emotionally, more psychologically.

Unfortunately, due to lack of time, I cannot engage in this.

Within the Framework of Freewill

963.5Question: Have there been moments in your daily life when something or someone disturbed you, and you started to get angry, but then you remembered where it all comes from? For example, if some knocking, humming, or other noise is distracting you.

Answer: If it falls within the boundaries of freewill, I am ready to “kill.”

The “boundaries of freewill” mean, for example, that if dissemination depends on you and someone is interfering with it, this cannot be forgiven under the excuse that everything comes from the Creator, because dissemination is something you are obligated to do.

There is no forgiveness in such a case, except within the framework of freewill where you must disseminate and do everything in the best and most correct way. Otherwise, nothing exists, not even the wisdom of Kabbalah. Then we are simply animals.

We are not animals only because we have been given the wisdom of self-correction. We are obligated to attract the light for our correction. If someone around me, who has been given this opportunity, does not use it or does it incorrectly, I cannot accept it. But only this!

In everything else, I do not even have the strength to force someone or interfere in any way. Only in what is filtered out as part of their freewill and they are not using it.

Question: But freewill applies not only to dissemination and passing on the wisdom of Kabbalah, but also studying, right? Or is study not part of freewill?

Answer: Freewill includes study, connection in the group, one’s attitude toward the book, the teacher, and the Creator, in other words, everything related to personal and collective advancement toward the goal.

Comment: But you do not pressure people when they go through different states.

My Response: They must go through them. Their freewill consists of enduring these states on their own. I have no right to interfere. If I did, I would be acting as if I were the Creator controlling them from above, from the outside. I have no right to do that.

Question: So does this mean there are two types of freewill, one that is punishable and one that is not? For example, going through states versus dissemination?

Answer: No, there is no such division. It is all the same. It is about a person’s attitude toward their advancement. One is absolutely connected to the other.

Purposeful Movements

272Comment: One can tell by looking at you that when you distance a student from yourself it is not to their detriment; meaning, it is not done with an arrogant attitude.

My Response: No, I have never had an arrogant attitude toward anyone. That is certain. There is simply a specific attitude that brings a person toward the goal in a faster and clearer way.

He may see it as something rude or dismissive, but from my side it should be this way. Are we going to work on etiquette now? In this way it is closer to the Creator, and that is all. Therefore I do not have to explain anything.

I remember that I had a student whom I asked to change his seat when we were recording a TV program because he had rather an unsightly face. He cried, jumped up from his seat and ran away.

I was surprised about this. If I were told that my face could alienate TV viewers whom we want to attract to Kabbalah, I would be grateful to this person: it is ok if I do not sit in front, but by this I will make my contribution; I won’t repel people away from Kabbalah.

However, he did not understand that. And I did not understand him. How is it possible to be offended by this? Does it mean that I love you less than others, that I appreciate you less than others? The Creator made you this way that you frighten people. So what?!

After all, we are together working in the same business! We are not taking pictures for memories. We are doing this for the world and you would be seen by all. If this is good, then yes; but if this is not good, then no. We have to approach this business in a realistic way as serious people.

Here I have very concrete, perhaps sometimes very harsh actions and people think that my actions are heartless or condescending. However, in reality they are just very goal oriented, especially when it comes to dissemination—remove one, put another one, move this one here, that one is moved there, this one can be yelled at, but not that one. Such is the work.

A person has to understand that and be grateful for the directions. Thank God someone tells him and he can do it, and in some way he can be part of dissemination and revelation of the Creator.

The Root of Dissemination

270Question: What is the root of the dissemination of the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: The connection of souls! After they were shattered and torn apart by mutual egoism, they must reunite. This is the Lego we need to assemble in order to attain the Creator who created this single soul.

Question: Why do other religious denominations also seek to disseminate their knowledge?

Answer: Every movement wants to expand, to be strong, influential, and powerful, and to absorb all the others. This is the natural egoistic desire of any teaching.

Question: How does Kabbalistic teaching differ from the egoistic expansion you just described?

Answer: The difference is that we do not specifically recruit anyone. We don’t need to! We only want a person to discover their purpose, how they can make their life good, even eternal and perfect. That’s all.

And how should they identify themselves? Not at all! They do not need to be called Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or a follower of anything. They will simply be kind and loving toward everyone.

Private Correction

961.2Question: Essentially, we are trying to direct our efforts toward conveying information to others, whether it is Kabbalah or something else. So why don’t we just make internal movements to become Kabbalists? Why do we need to perform physical actions?

Answer: Physical actions are necessary to help one transition into an absolutely perfect state where there is no longer a perception of reality as our world and the rest of the worlds.

The fact is that there are both general correction and private correction. Private correction is the vision of general correction.

But there is no need to discuss this with people because it is just philosophy or psychology, which has no real connection to their lives and would bring them nothing. Delving into it is pointless.

Question: Is there a limitation to explaining certain things that should not be exceeded?

Answer: Yes, but only because a person cannot perceive it. In Kabbalah, forbidden means impossible. That is the only reason!

Otherwise there are no secrets. What secrets can there be if everything is open to all? It remains a secret only for those who are incapable of understanding. Can a small child comprehend what we are talking about? For them, it is called a mystery.

Question: But does the ultimate truth exist at all?

Answer: Of course. The complete revelation of the Creator to a person, full correction, that is the one and only truth in which we all exist.

We are already within it now, but we need to reveal it through our perception to reach it. To do this, we must practically change ourselves by constantly refining our feelings. That is our task.

It’s Better to Be Empty than Full

202.0Comment: They say that Berg gathered all the cream of society for himself, and Laitman got everything else.

My Response: It is very good. People who consider themselves scum are the nicest people. They understand that they are worthless, but they must achieve a big goal.

And this cream? They believe that they have everything, that they are so great that the Creator must, so to speak, help and serve them, and they will pay for it in cash.

Therefore a person who feels empty rather than full is better. It is said: “Beware of the poor, for out of them will come the Torah, the light.”

When a person feels empty and poor—”I have nothing in this life”—it is from this state that he comes to the light.

Adaptation of Kabbalistic Texts

112Question: Often when we prepare material for dissemination, we try to include either your text or that of Baal HaSulam or Rabash in it. Does this actually work?

Answer: I do not think this is always justified because anyone who studies Kabbalah may be beyond all the original texts. After all, they are complex, intricate, and intended for a certain level. I would not do it.

Perhaps by including quotes, people are trying to shield themselves by saying, “Well, that is how it is written,” or they assume that what moves them will also move the consumer who is not familiar with Kabbalah. I doubt it.

I would not say I find it necessary. On the contrary, in all my early books, I rewrote everything into modern, somewhat scientific language to steer the reader away from thinking about Kabbalah and instead to allow them to feel or understand the information directly on the platform they are used to perceiving it.

I do not think it is necessary to introduce them to archaisms or other Kabbalistic “isms.” Why? The text should be presented in a way that makes it easier for a person to understand. As it is said: “Teach a child according to his way.”

Comment: But you did slightly modify Shamati, for example. That is, you wrote a book based on it.

My Response: In Hebrew, I did not modify Shamati at all. I only added punctuation marks, as they were quite chaotic. But in Russian, I made it a bit more fluid because otherwise the reader would not be able to absorb it; it would be a hindrance for them.

Comment: But in Russian, you wrote Attaining the Worlds Beyond, in which you included some elements from Shamati and presented them in a very pleasant, not dry form.

My Response: That is how it turned out because I processed it through myself. First, it is a translation, and second, a retelling. So I allowed myself that freedom. Moreover, Attaining the Worlds Beyond is not just from Shamati, it is from everything. It wrote this book in just ten days. It just poured out of me.

The Creator Will Force Us to Unite

221.0Question: There are no safe places on Earth. In a few years, India will go under water. Scientists predict a new earthquake in Turkey as climate problems are on the rise. Is humanity doomed to perish?

Answer: No. Even if it wanted to, it would not happen. The Creator will force us to unite even more to positively affect our further ascents.

Question: What will happen to those who do not study Kabbalah? Will they die out like dinosaurs, or ascend?

Answer: Either they will die out or they will aim toward the goal of creation. One or the other.

Question: So is our task to influence this through dissemination?

Answer: Absolutely.
