Question: If we address the wider public, will we need to raise the topic of the group and show that it is a much more general concept?

Answer: I think the topic of the group is actually a very easy one to explain to the public. After all, the people of Israel are not a nation in the usual sense of the word.

At its foundation, it is a group of Kabbalists established by Abraham. The nation exists as a group, in collective responsibility, in relationships of equality by birth, always with a dismissive attitude toward money and honors.

Throughout all generations, the values of the nation were spiritual. If we add to this the antisemitism and general hatred from the world, it becomes clear that from both the side of good—the spiritual side, and the side of evil—the corporeal side, the entire nation is driven from two directions to exist as a group.

Therefore, this approach, when we speak about ourselves and include the entire nation in this process as a group, is very positive and truly resonates.

In the heart of each person, there is something that is rarely found in other nations, a sense of mutual dependence on one another. At the same time, the nation is split into factions that treat one another in extreme ways with hatred, with envy, which is something not seen in other nations.

A nation may be divided into several religions or parts that do not even interact, yet they allow each other to live. But here, that is not the case. There is no tolerance for division within the nation into factions.

We need to explain that, in fact, this is what brings all the evil that exists, that we are all responsible for one another “as one man with one heart.” The people already have a certain readiness for this: they understand that this is harmful, even on a corporeal level, and can also come to realize that, spiritually, this is damaging.

Question: Are there any well-known scientists today who assert in their research that the upper force exists?

Answer: There are many such scientists. We are in contact with them and try to show how, through research of nature and research of the inner world of man, we come to the same result: that there is an upper force above us with certain properties, which apparently has a specific purpose in relation to us, and we should check our reactions with this.

And what is happening to us now is happening because we do not have the correct connection with this force and because we do not comply with the laws established by it in nature.

Today there are enough people in the world with education, titles, and status both in society and in science who can state this in a way that it can be heard.

And on the other hand, we who are engaged in the science of Kabbalah can add to everything they have said. We can add confirmation from Kabbalah to all their discoveries in quantum physics, in the study of biological forms of life, or in the study of the psychological nature of man. Kabbalah explains why this happens at all levels of nature: still, vegetative, animate. Kabbalah adds explanations together with them, and in opposition to them. In this way, we clarify things to such an extent that they will be easy and convincing for the general public.

This is from the human side. But from the side of the upper force, since we still do not fulfill its will, we are of course facing even worse states ahead. For it is known that blows purify a person, and then he becomes sensitive enough to understand and hear that these blows depend on something he does not understand and for which he does not see a reason. And since he wants to get rid of them, he will want to find the cause even though it is hidden.

Thus we come to a certain stage where we explain, together with scientists and with specialists who will actually be able to present our explanation, the “means to avoid blows.” On the other hand, society is already in a state where it wants to hear: “It does not matter what the solution is; just give it!” It is like a sick person who demands medicine just to get rid of the problem. This process is very rational.

In whatever form we address society with our ideas, we will be forced to do so in such a way that it will be clear to a person that, in accordance with his development, he must change his attitude toward the Creator.

And to the extent that he is capable, he will be immersed in changing his attitude, and to the extent that he is not capable, he will be immersed not in the attitude itself in its pure form but in physical work, which will be the expression of this attitude: to build, to do, to participate. That is all.

Essentially, it is hidden from him that through his physical actions he also sets forces in motion and does not do something that exists within the framework of this world. In the end, it is only a matter of concealment. Let’s say I bring you a gift, and it is clear to us that this gift should be some kind of object, and I am not capable of more; after all, it is possible that I am not participating in it with my heart at all.

It is hidden from us that within this gift, within this attitude, there is a higher action, and on those high levels on which we exist, this is already manifested in the form of forces and intentions. But I cannot come to society and say: “We exist in a world of forces and intentions. With their help, we set reality in motion and not through material actions. The material does not do anything and does not mean anything.”

I cannot address the general public in this form, but since we have reached the general public with an explanation suitable for them, gradually more and more people (and through suffering too) will see that something is happening to which they do not have an answer. We suffer nonetheless, and there is something to that.

When people feel bad, they suddenly remember that there is the “evil eye,” and that someone thinks badly of them; otherwise, why is nothing working out for them? The more a person delves into this, the more he feels that there are forces, and that it is these forces that are working and not the material.

Moreover, people will come who in some way will participate in the actions of raising MAN (prayers for correction) in the correct form, in the correct attire relative to the upper force. There is no choice. The world will come to this.

Question: How can people learn the right attitude toward one another without formal studying?

Answer: Only those who really have an inner urge, an inclination, and realization that it is necessary go to study. Otherwise, what is there to teach? The correct attitude?

A person learns the correct attitude on oneself based on their feelings and inner actions, from the fact that one feels bad and wants to find what is good. It is explained to them where to find a positive feeling so that a person can feel better thanks to one’s correct attitude toward people and toward the Creator. This is not acquired through formal study.

We study because we want to master the methodology to teach others. But when teaching a person, you should not simply sit them down to study. Why all of a sudden? These are natural processes that a person must undergo internally. Moreover, we see how few people are naturally suited for structured learning. It is meant only for those who will later teach others, but teach them practically how to act.

You might say, “Yes, but it is written that through study we draw the surrounding light upon us, and besides that, there is no other means.” Yet again, this applies only to those who must correct themselves as priests or teachers. Others correct themselves solely through their attitude. Just the attitude—nothing else is needed.

Sit and study for hours? Not at all! A person simply needs an explanation. They need a group that demonstrates how they should relate in order to reach the purpose of creation—union with the Creator. It is also necessary to teach that the Creator is the upper force that operates in nature. The more I obey this force, the more I merge with Him; and when I distance myself from Him, I get “spanked” like an unreasonable child because I am not merged with Him.

Today these words have lost their flavor and give people the impression that this is about religion. In reality, we are simply being taught how to fulfill the laws of nature. There is a universal law: if you do not follow it, you suffer. You must fulfill it through your attitude toward Him: as He relates to you, so must you relate to Him.

Our message to the people of Israel must be that a person should be a “kingdom of priests” and a “holy nation” in relation to himself and in relation to a group of people, whether small or large, all the way to the rest of the nations and the world.

The same applies to the group in relation to the world, and the entire nation in relation to the world. It does not matter. Every part of creation, of the will to receive, that feels it is capable of this, in accordance with the awareness of the importance of this action, takes part in the correction both in relation to itself and in relation to the whole of reality, that is, to the rest of creation, to all other souls so that all may reach the degree of adhesion with the Creator.

Question: Can we go out with this message to the people?

Answer: This is our duty. It is no coincidence that Baal HaSulam finished the series of articles “Matan Torah (The Giving of the Torah)” and “The Arvut (Mutual Guarantee)” by stating that this is our task. This must be our banner.

Question: But isn’t this talking about the final state?

Answer: That is true. Although the phrase “You shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests” doesn’t yet refer to the end, but rather to the correction of Bina in a person, that is, the intention not for one’s own sake, the state of Hafetz Hesed (one who desires nothing for himself).

In general, we are speaking about two very great corrections, which mean attaining two degrees in the revelation of the face of the Creator (Gilui Panim) beyond the Machsom: bestowal for the sake of bestowal and reception for the sake of bestowal. The first degree is called governance by reward and punishment and the second eternal love. They stand opposite the “kingdom of priests” and “holy nation.”

However, since these are very high levels and are still far from us, it turns out that even at the smallest level, you cannot move from your place unless you take into account where you ultimately want to arrive. Even the smallest effort, according to how much you understand in your current state, must already be directed toward the final degree.

Baal HaSulam writes about the kibbutzim and Soviet Russia. Why did they not succeed? Even though their work was, in essence, based on the principle of “Love your neighbor as yourself,” and they were willing to carry it out, they could not do it. On the contrary, they only revealed the Klipa in it, because their work was not aimed at the final goal, and they did not see it as preparation for adhesion with the Creator. But that should have been the starting condition, because “the end of the act is in the initial thought.”

Such is the requirement for every appeal, every condition, and every action of a person because otherwise it is not an act that integrates into the process and becomes part of the spiritual path.

Question: Are the desire to want to bestow and the desire to bestow two different Kelim, or is it the same Kli? Can the Creator also be revealed in the desire to want to bestow?

Answer: Yes, all of this will become clearer, more defined, known, and attainable for us.

Question: Outside of our circle, how can we influence what is happening with us now, in Israel? Is there any possibility?

Answer: I do not particularly see what can be corrected in those circles of the Kelim that are not yet engaged.

I think this requires further work on our part. Then we will feel precisely what we are missing.

Question: What should I say to a simple person who does not study and probably will not study Kabbalah?

Answer: There is no need to study Kabbalah! The wisdom of Kabbalah is not for studying it. Studying is not its realization. Realization in our world occurs through awareness of the separation and correction and not through any kind of physical action.

Physical action is the dissemination to the people of Israel and the nations of the world of the idea of what the purpose of creation is and the process of achieving it. Once a person hears it and to some extent agrees with it, a person, as they say, carries it out.

There is no realization in our world. How would you implement it? With hands, feet? Even the work in the Temple, the sacrifice of animals for the Temple service are external symbols of internal agreement. All the work is internal.

You sow this knowledge in yourself and in the nations of the world, in everyone without any distinction, and everyone feels that this is indeed so and, apparently, the entire world is in a bad state precisely because we do not follow this general law. This is how you correct everything.

After all, the correction does not lie in extracting a few more tons of oil or coal, or building a few more factories, or in doing something else. Correction is not accomplished by physical actions. An action is achieving the correct intention. That is all. All the actions of this world are useless, and we see how destructive they are.

The intention for the sake of bestowal was shattered; the intention that should have been in the head of the Partzuf of the world of Nikudim or Adam. At that time, in the head (Rosh), there was an intention to receive for the sake of bestowal, but it was not realized in the body (Guf). It is precisely this intention that must now be realized. Intention!

Therefore, to the question “What should we do in this world?,” I answer: we should not perform any physical actions other than dissemination, other than study. This is what is called the “kingdom of the priests”: the priests (Kohanim) have no inheritance, they do not have to do anything. They should only teach, pass the method.

And what about the other nations? They work with the desire to receive; that is considered their work. The actions are only in connection, dissemination, explanation. And that is all.

Question: If we act correctly, will this lead to a faster revelation of evil? Is this what is the acceleration of development is?

Answer: If we accelerate the work, what does accelerate even mean? At the very least, we should aim to close the gap! If we awaken ourselves and inspire the world to realize that the relationships between people are the most important factor in drawing closer to the upper force, then as a result, we will reveal the good.

Perhaps you are asking about when a person studies Kabbalah, through study, dissemination, and other actions, one begins to reveal the corrections awaiting him, and he goes through stages where he feels bad. He sinks into unpleasant states like depression, descent, and so on. So if the world begins to engage in what we recommend now, would it not have to go through those same descents and painful sensations?

I do not think such a danger exists. The corrections that the world will go through will be on a large scale. In other words, the idea will take hold of a huge number of people, while the opposite idea will continuously weaken because masses of people will fall into despair not knowing how to continue living.

Therefore, those who adhere to the idea of correction will not experience descents, but rather a relatively uplifted state, an ascent. We have descents because we are surrounded by a hostile environment, which is constantly introducing disturbances.

Question: Should we take the idea contained in what we are studying and pass it on to everyone?

Answer: You cannot convey this idea to the people because these are completely abstract things. The people may perceive it as something even somewhat rational because they themselves are in an irrational state.

What does he have in his hands that would allow him to say that he is relying on something in life?

Humanity has yet to discover how suspended in the air it is; it lacks support. It has nothing; its entire basis, its illusory confidence in what to do and how to do it—all of this is in the material, and even that will soon slip out of people’s hands, will literally leak through their fingers. They will be like a lost child who stands and cries, who is afraid to take a step, who does not know where his mother is and what to do.

We must approach this in a “rational” way—rational for them, that is why it is in quotes—and every time, at every stage, we need to give them a logical explanation of what we recommend for them to do, to perform, to advance to.

If today I go to the people and say, “You do not understand how much your thoughts affect the world. And there is no need to change anything except our attitude, our intention, and our thoughts about the world, about the universe, and about the upper force”—everyone will think that I am, to put it mildly, detached from reality.

“Alright, I have changed my attitude. And what happened, where is it? What can we do? We are dealing with life and death issues; people have to eat something, to fill themselves with something, and you are talking about some thoughts, some attitude to reality that changes it? And this is what you came to the world with?! What are you telling us here! What did you come to advise us?”

But you might be right. Even scientists are already discovering that a person can influence with thought. And besides, there are such refined, elevated people who also say that we need to treat each other differently, and then we will change the world, and it will become more beautiful. That is, if we treat each other better, our world, our general perception will change. That is true. But where is the proof that if we change our attitude to the world just because this is the general law of the universe, we will gain something from it?

That means you are bringing the Creator here. You are telling them this not from a social point of view, like the well-meaning socialists who say: “Let us create a wonderful society, let us care for one another…” and everyone understands that it would be great if we could achieve this.

But you tell them, “No, that is not why we should be kind. We should be kind because in this we become like the upper force, which will then change everything and affect us in a completely different, astonishing way, from which all the foundations will change! Not only will the relationships between us change, even nature will change—everything will change!” In this case, you are applying a parameter that they neither understand nor feel. You are introducing the Creator into the picture!

These are the words of our sages in clarifying the ending, “These are the words which you will say to the children of Israel.” They made the precision, “These are the words,” no more and no less. This is perplexing: How can you say that Moses would add or take away from the words of the Creator to the point that the Creator had to warn him about it? (Baal HaSulam “The Arvut [Mutual Guarantee]”).

Question: What is the meaning of the warning given to Moses: “No less and no more…”?

Answer: “No less and no more” means that the correction must continue until all the vessels are corrected.

In other words, Galgalta veEynaim (GE) have no right to exist if it is not for the sake of the common correction.

That is, GE are obligated to awaken, correct themselves, and correct others; this is the reason for their elevation before the rest. They are not permitted to be under AHP, because their role is to correct AHP due to their own purity and degree of Aviut (coarseness).
