Baal HaSulam wrote the “Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah” in the language of Partzufim and Sefirot. Before him, practically no one had described Kabbalah in such volume.

By this, he shows us how our desires and the connection between desires and light develop. These are sensuous states, which he tried to explain in mathematical language.

One needs to understand the material very deeply and feel it in order to be able to depict it in such a physical and mathematical language.

Question: It is interesting that scientists do not study the works of Baal HaSulam at all. The Torah has been studied inside and out for thousands of years but not his works. Is it because this is something new? After all, he wrote his articles only 100 years ago.

Answer: The Ari began to use the language of Kabbalah even earlier in the 16^th century.

Question: But in the Ari’s work this is very veiled, and not as open as in the case of Baal HaSulam. Do you think the time will come when people will be exploring this or will it stay like that?

Answer: I think that people will be exploring this from being alive, since we are in the transition from the concealed world to the world of revelation. Therefore people will feel like it is actually happening.

Question: How can we explain the advantage of sensory transmission of information from person to person?

Answer: There is no way to explain it because people will not be able to work with this anyway.

Now everyone remembers how in 1997 scientists received a Nobel Prize for developing a theory about the absence of the probability of an economic crisis, as a result of which a society of unlimited consumption can develop endlessly.

How can this be if natural resources are being exhausted, if pollution reaches such magnitudes that it buries us under garbage in this huge earth dump? How can one write that a society of unlimited consumption can develop endlessly and all people on earth, absolutely everyone, will be able to reach unlimited opportunities, and unlimited success? From where?

I was surprised by this view of the world when I visited Disney World’s Epcot Center for the first time 30 years ago. Epcot Center is a round building, which you enter by a little train and you are shown the entire history of humanity from the past, present, up to the future. The future is represented by the fact that everyone has a helicopter, walls of houses are covered with televisions, etc. That is, everything is so fancy. They placed a person in a state from which he cannot get out. What a future!

Egoism blinds us so much that we invent such theories and give Nobel Prizes for them, believing that there will be no end to our development, although long before that the Club of Rome and other scientists said that everything ends.

Why do we award such economists the Nobel Prize? Because we want it to be so. Can you imagine what a self-deception this is?! What can we come to? How can we explain to a person that there are other technologies if people cannot change themselves?

Comment: But you say that in the end, they have to come to it anyway.

My Response: I think that nowadays it is just getting to the point of personal and common internal correction in order to reveal inside ourselves the next level of the universe, the spiritual state. Then this world will involuntarily disappear from our perception. As soon as we begin to feel spiritual qualities, forces, and systems inside ourselves, we will stop seeing this world.

Comment: When you started teaching, you taught your students pure Kabbalah without any examples. But in recent years, it seems like you have moved in a direction that is pro-political.

My Response: No, it has nothing to do with politics. To me talking to socialists, liberals, democrats, or anyone else is all the same. These are little human toys.

I tell them how they should use the current state of nature, which they are completely powerless against and do not understand, and that they must acquire a completely different approach to life in this world. What difference does it make to me who they are? It is not politics. Politics is if I stand between them. But I do not get involved in that!

Maybe it looks that way because people are used to calling anyone who talks about the state of the world and society a politician.

But I am definitely not a politician. To me, they are all absolutely the same! Lost sheep who have always acted according to their egoism. And today, they are not able to govern our world because another additional force has emerged in the world—the altruistic force. So, something must be done. So I explain to them how.

I simply talk about what I see in the world without leaning toward one side or another or a third. Absolutely! Because no one will solve anything in this anyway. The solution can only come through correcting our attitude toward the world, toward nature.

Comment: When you explain something, the same message always comes from you, but its presentation is different all the time. From the outside it looks like you are changing your mind and contradicting yourself.

My Response: What can I do?! My teaching is designed for serious people, let’s say people who study physics, especially those associated with such breakthroughs in science as the collider where they are looking for the Higgs boson and so on. Their discoveries can take them in one direction when they solve, say, the mystery of gravitation, or they can be taken in a completely different direction. They are in the middle and do not know what to do. This is how we live because we attain everything in comparison.

Matter always consists of two opposite elements, plus and minus, which gradually expand and connect with each other. The more complex matter is, the more contradictory, opposite are the elements it consists of that connect and complement each other. All of it is built on a contradiction.

If some people cannot comprehend it, what can I do?! They want to live like some kitten and nothing else: this is my mom, my bowl, and a box of sand.

Question: If Kabbalah is not transmitted genetically, but only through education, why is it believed that the Jews have a genetic spiritual code?

Answer: Because they had already performed spiritual correction once, i.e., they were in these conditions.

The Jews are the same ancient Babylonians who left together with the Babylonian priest Abraham, who brought them together into a state of universal mutual guarantee. That is why this group is so cursed to this day, because after all, it is obliged to bring this method to the world. If the world accepts the method, it will develop at an accelerated scale, and if not, it will develop on a natural slow scale of time. That is the whole difference!

Question: How are spiritual records and spiritual experiences stored in each soul?

Answer: They were deposited in the partzufim of the soul, in the internal state it has passed through, which does not disappear anywhere. It seems to leave a person’s feelings; he does not feel his past, but he can again awaken it in himself.

Therefore, those who were once genetically in this state are more predisposed to spirituality. But the rest…look how many students we have from all over the world!

Humanity can be divided as follows: those who already were once in a spiritual state; these are today’s Jews who are obliged to make corrections and pass everything that is possible onto the world, and those who were not in this state but feel the pressure today. They, too, need to make corrections according to their current spiritual component that is pushing them forward.

But real Jews, who were already in the spiritual state once, are obliged to correct themselves; otherwise, they will be tormented even more.

If I am engaged with a person and society, if I am talking about how society should change, and how a person should change, then of course I can always be attributed to politics.

In the end, I’m not acting with political tools, but only educational ones.

People go out into the street to demand some political or social changes from the government, and we went out into the street to give them pamphlets saying that the only thing that will help them is if each of them changes themselves.

I tell a person: “You have to change your attitude toward others and not demand something from the government. It is not able to do anything, and you can’t put pressure on it. In the end, nothing good will come from it. Look at what is happening all over the world! The only thing that will help is that here I’m giving you objective natural laws, which say you have to change yourself.”

If I address everyone personally and talk about how to change oneself, is this a political statement?

We exist in a world of objective laws. These laws show us where today’s confusion comes from, and how we can find ourselves in the current world, to do something with ourselves, with society, and with our family, in order to continue to give birth, develop, and live.

I’m talking about facts! Let’s say I’m just explaining the law of free fall and how we can apply it in our lives, or the law of the dependence of speed on time and distance and how it can be used. I explain everything on my fingers and show everything in action.

I attract scientists who tell me that our world is truly global, mutual, and completely interdependent. At present, there are laws in it that did not exist before, and our failure to accept these laws is called a crisis. But this is our crisis, our lack of understanding and our inability to adapt to this world.

So we need to adapt to it and then there will be no crisis, but instead a wonderful, broad development.

As long as you cannot interact with this new, global and integral world, you are in crisis. This is not an external crisis; this is your internal, conceptual crisis.

Comment: Sometimes I look at you and get the impression that you are already tired of making constant appeals to humanity to follow the good path.

My Response: I do not see an end to it. I see that only good blows will turn us into the right people.

Sometimes they are internal, sometimes external, no matter what kind, the main thing is that they have an effect. If internal blows do not help, then external ones come into play. And so gradually a person grows.

Question: No one can escape from this?

Answer: This is a natural process. But there are desirable and undesirable forms in it. There are two parallel paths: the path of light, when you call it upon yourself demanding for it to change you, and the path of suffering when you are driven forward with a “stick to happiness” like a naughty child until you become smarter and start asking to be changed yourself.

But how much time passes before these blows change a person?

Question: Baal HaSulam wrote the “Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah” after the Second World War as one of the four prefaces to The Book of Zohar.

Answer: Yes, this material is very difficult to present, especially in such an accessible way as he did.

Question: Why don’t people study it? After all, he described it in the late 40’s of the 20^th century. Many years have passed since then.

Answer: This information is practically impossible to apply anywhere except within a man himself. And nobody wants to do it. If only it could be used to make money.

Question: I still do not understand. People study many things which do not provide them with an income. I am not talking about changing oneself, because it is very difficult to change your nature, but just to read it as a source of information, as something important. After all, Baal HaSulam describes the creation of desire in such simple language for the first time! Why are his works not studied anywhere?

Answer: Because people think they do not need them. They are very far from them as if the material is happening somewhere in the sky, not on earth.

Question: However, materials relating to Egyptian mummies, for example, are researched at universities, and what is not made of them? And here, specifically, things are explained in such a language…

Answer: This is done on purpose so that people do not have a specific desire for this, and anyone who wants to would not grab and poke around in it. Nature protects this science about itself on purpose.

Kabbalah is the science about the foundations of nature. Therefore, nature protects it in order to open it only when humanity wants to renounce the picture of nature that we imagine today and to really understand that it needs to change in order to save itself and the world.

Question: People with a point in the heart want to reveal the Creator as good, as Who created and controls us. Will people without a point in the heart come to such a revelation?

Answer: Yes. Everything we do within ourselves and between us is absorbed by a common desire. Therefore, all those living on earth are imbued with a common fulfillment that we want to awaken.

As a result, we will come to a state where the common desire will be revealed, and the Creator will be manifested in it as the only one who fills it.

Question: Does it mean it is possible to push other people to the revelation of the Creator?

Answer: Yes, we are obliged to push each other toward the Creator. It is very difficult for a person to come to the Creator by himself. But if others push him, he will come to this easily and quickly.

Question: Could you create one product that describes everything and send it around the world?

Answer: No, I cannot. I know from myself that when I was advancing I needed to read Kabbalistic books. There are a lot of good books on Kabbalah in our time, but at the time I started studying there were only The Study of the Ten Sefirot and The Book of Zohar with the Sulam Commentary. Nothing else!

Then, within five years, the “The Giving of the Torah,” letters, and articles by Baal HaSulam appeared. It was possible to start reading something. My teacher gave me his notebook in which he wrote down what he had heard from his father, Shamati. But before that, there was no literature at all.

And what did I do? Anyway, I have read everything in these two sources thousands of times: The Book of Zohar and The Study of the Ten Sefirot.

And now? I am not forcing anyone! When people need it, they will suddenly remember that there is Kabbalah and it really says how to get rid of problems that are worse than death!
