Comment: We are used to the expression “reading someone’s thoughts.” You replace it with the words “know the roots of movement.”

Answer: Why should I read a person’s thoughts?! Do I not understand what kind of device it is? A small biological device that is engaged only in maintaining itself in the most convenient form. Its body strives for homeostasis because all inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature strives for it, and it egotistically reaches for maximum fulfillment. What else do I need to know about him?

Question: But in order to convey information to a person, don’t you need to absorb his understanding? If you feel it much deeper, you could find greater communication with him.

Answer: Yes and no. So what if I understand how he lives? For example, there is a small child in front of you. How will you find communication with him, at what level? You still have to go down to his level, make yourself small like him. Communication can only be on one level.

Question: But an adult has his own world. Let’s say he goes to work, goes out somewhere, to the child it seems to be something unusual, he does not even understand what it is about. For a Kabbalist, what seems to be like miracles to a child are a natural process that takes place around him.

So there are some things that you cannot explain even on our egoistic level?

Answer: There are things that I cannot explain and that you cannot feel. I can take you, like a small child, to my work, I can take you into the big world, and you will see something there and perhaps understand a little because you have five senses like in an adult, only they are not developed.

Therefore, I will be able to explain something to you a little, that is, I can develop your five material sense organs. But if they are developed in you, and spiritual ones are not, what can I do with you?! Nothing.

Question: Does it matter which medium a book is written: paper or electronic media?

Answer: No. This is not critical. There are different mediums for different times. An ebook acts in the same way as a regular book.

Question: Why were books previously made on papyrus or animal skins?

Answer: What else could they have been made on? At first, pieces of wood were used, also sand or fired clay tablets were used for writing. They did what they could.

It was necessary to have a material that could be made into some form so that it would be recorded and preserved as a transmitter of information.

Therefore, the carriers were earth, stones, wood, and plant leaves. Then they started making papyrus and turning natural materials into something flatter and more suitable. At first, they wrote on special clay tablets and then animal skins.

People saw that the skin of animals consisted of several layers, and if it was cut lengthwise in thickness, it became thinner. They divided it into two parts and wrote on the inner elastic part since the ink on it did not corrode, did not spread out, and remained for a long time.

Question: Why do you introduce the concept of the principles of the universe? After all, this has never been shared anywhere before.

Answer: The Kabbalists of the past have a description of the principles of the universe, but only in a free presentation as if you were describing our world in a novel as great writers did. Kabbalists were practically philosophers, sociologists, political scientists, and educators, but they presented everything in an artistic form and not in the form of a methodology.

Therefore, in Baal HaSulam’s articles and letters, the principles of the universe are described in an artistic style. We take them and format them in a more concrete form so that it is more clear to a person what is happening to him and around him.

As a rule, these principles are the preface to our articles and outline the method of correction that we are obliged to offer to the world.

In other words, based on the principles of the universe, we describe what the past, present, and future are, and how from this moment onward, we need to behave in order to move forward in a mandatory movement regardless of us.

Question: In addition to the role of a teacher, do you have your own personal spiritual development and certain attainment?

Answer: Yes because now is a period of development of all souls when they should begin to rise.

I am a teacher who, while teaching people, at the same time is very dependent upon them. Therefore, if my students succeed, I have the opportunity to rise, and if not, then I am not allowed to rise higher than I would like.

In principle, it will be so in all future generations because the time of single Kabbalists who soared by themselves to the heights of attainment of the upper world, the Creator, has ended.

I think that starting from this period, from our generation onward, all Kabbalists will work only for the dissemination of Kabbalah and the correction of the world. They will not be able to rise higher than their students and the whole of humanity with whom they must be in contact to teach, help, and pull along.

That is why I feel how dependent I am on my students.

Question: Do people really have to lose everything in order to start listening to Kabbalists? Is it correct to say that when they lose everything, they will have a completely different approach?

Answer: The fact is that on the one hand the world should be thoroughly shaken; on the other hand, we have to tell the world about Kabbalah. Without this, they will not discover it. There should be a showcase that people walk past all the time without noticing and then suddenly notice.

As correctly shown in Harry Potter: suddenly you enter the platform 9 ¾ through the wall. You are walking down a normal London street and suddenly you walk into some side door, and suddenly there is the 15^th century there, although it is the 20^th century on the calendar.

This is how all of humanity passes by the entrance to the other world. Everything is explained to them, but they do not feel it yet. They have no need to turn their heads and look at this showcase that displays Kabbalistic books, explanations about the meaning of life, and our media. They just do not notice them; they glance at them, and move on.

It requires inner suffering, an inner search: “How can I save myself? Where is the exit from this state, for the world and for me personally?” When this question arises seriously, then the search for an answer to it will begin.

This will be the case in many countries of the world. In humanity it will become an obsession: “What should we do? For what and how?” That is when people will certainly look anew in the direction of Kabbalah.

Suddenly they will say: “Ah! How did we not notice this before? It turns out that the Internet is full of this information! See the huge amount of material! We do not know what to do, where to go, but they have where to go: all kinds of groups, centers, open university, radio, television; everything is there.”

That is, on the one hand, we are preparing for this; on the other hand, their inner soul-shaking will make them pay attention to Kabbalah.

But we should not wait for them to be shaken. You have to love people because they are a part of you. Now you do not feel them yet, but you will begin to feel that this is your integral part.

You will suddenly feel them closer than you feel yourself. You will begin to love them more than yourself when you discover what the rest of humanity means to you. It turns out that this is the innermost, most important, and most beloved part of you.

All the most hated, most distant people, whom you neglected, could not touch, could not think about, and absolutely did not want to see next to you, suddenly will be revealed to you as the most desirable and dear.

It is impossible to convey what changes will occur. You will perceive them as a part of your soul, only the innermost part.

Question: What category of souls should join your students? How sensitive are they, and what will they perceive?

Answer: These souls are more sensitive to correction, more realistic, and less amenable to all kinds of conventions. They are much more categorical, more specific than us, because they are much more egoistic. I hope they will push us forward as well.

Every time new students come, they create a new, good, more advanced atmosphere.

On the other hand, I am based on some of my old students who have been with me for many years. They clearly understand everything, learn it, and perceive it correctly.

Question: Do the old students prevent the new ones from receiving information from you? Do they complicate it?

Answer: There is nothing you can do. I have to teach everyone who wants to learn, and in no way can I prefer some to others. This is not my prerogative at all, and not is my control. As Rabash said: my store (i.e., the source) should be open to everyone. Anyone who wants to listen to me is welcome. If he does not want to, he is free to leave.

Question: Did you love or hate your teacher Rabash, or did you feel both?

Answer: I loved and respected him very much. But at the same time, I had periods of frustration sometimes: “Well, where is it, what is it, how is it?” and so on. However, it was not hatred. These were periods of demand that did not happen often. It would be better if there were more of them because it is necessary to demand.

When a child demands from his parents, he grows faster. He forces them and grows by himself. It is bad if he does not want anything. How will he grow up? Parents should provoke children with all kinds of toys, sounds, and with everything they can. This is the only way we move them forward. There is no other way. It is the same with grown-ups and children.

Let us hope that from all of our states we will come to a common denominator, precisely to the common one where we all are together, and I, they, and all our circles in the world will gather into one desire, into one fist and tear, as when receiving the Torah at Mount Sinai.

I hope it will happen. In principle, this is the most wonderful event that can happen. Then the world will see why it exists and there will be no problems with anything in a person’s life. Everything will be arranged regarding the possibility of climbing the spiritual ladder to the next dimension—now, today, and for everyone.

Question: Did Baal HaSulam feel dependent on his students?

Answer: Baal HaSulam is the greatest soul who absorbed all the previous Kabbalah and explained it for us. This is a special purpose of a special soul.

We can’t look up to him, but not because we don’t have to burst forward, but because we and he are different types of souls. We have to improve, and he has given us a method of correction and is working with us even now.

Twenty generations of Kabbalists from Adam to Abraham, generations from Abraham to Rabbi Shimon, from Rabbi Shimon to the Ari, and from the Ari to Baal HaSulam and Rabash work together with us and bring light to us.

And we are already receiving it and trying to implement it for our correction. We are completely different souls.

Question: Does this not mean that their souls are better and the current ones are worse?

Answer: There are no better and worse souls in any way and in nothing. There is simply a purpose based on the structure of the common soul.

There are souls who rise first. They are called forefathers, fathers, and teachers, and end with Rabash.

From our generation onward, there are souls who realize what we have received from them. Of course, we still continue to develop this technique on ourselves and give out a lot of various sources and styles of information. But in the end, this is the realization of what the previous Kabbalists gave us.

Question: How do you see humanity, which is divided by genetics into a caste of improved ideal people and those who stayed the old-fashioned way? Will there be any problems? After all, Kabbalah also says that in the society of the future there will be ideal people who are similar to the Creator, and people who are deprived of such an opportunity. Is that not elitist?

Answer: The fact is that people who will be similar to the Creator will be engaged in educating and providing for those people who have not yet become similar to the Creator up to the moment when all people will move from the current egoistic state to the right, corrected, altruistic state.

Question: Is this the exclusivity of these ideal people?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Does it mean that there will be no racism here?

Answer: No, it cannot come from them.

Question: Will there be no advantages of some over others?

Answer: The advantage will be only in that they will take the reins of governance into their hands and will be able to show, prove, and train all the others who are still uncorrected what they need to become.

Question: What should we become?

Answer: Love thy neighbor as thyself. This was said several thousand years ago.

Question: Do you, as a Kabbalist, take people’s material situation into consideration?

Answer: Of course I do! I have to consider them with love and empathy like a mother toward a child, and only with the understanding of what is for his benefit rather than what he wants himself.

For this, a certain spiritual maturation must take place in a person. I do not turn to my baby and do what he wants. I do what is best for him, maybe even against his will.

Question: But you feel people much more than many of your students. Although you say you do not understand the level they talk about, you give out such information that is understandable to external people.

Answer: Because I cannot help but feel humanity.

I do not feel mechanical, purely artificial systems created by people; for example, all kinds of financial, banking systems or tricks they pull in business. I cannot feel this mechanics because there is no analogy to them in the spiritual world.

But when it comes to the whole of humanity, its nature, and man himself, his aspirations, and problems that need to be corrected, I of course know better than everyone else. Although these problems may not affect me personally, I feel them because I am included together with everyone in a single system.
