Question: Why hasn’t the Creator revealed Himself in such a long time?

Answer: We exist in a clear physical world! If you wish to attain the Creator, you have to be in the desire to reveal the property of bestowal and love!

If you have such a desire, it means you are obliged to love and bestow. To love means to take others’ desires and fulfill them.

Do you have such a desire? No. So it means you have nothing with which you can reveal the Creator!

The Creator is not hiding. Our nature is such that everything is revealed according to the law of similarity of properties. I cannot hear with my eyes, but I hear with my ears because the waves are different for vision and hearing. It is the same with the Creator. If I do not have an organ that can sense Him, it means I do not sense Him! He is here, but I do not sense Him!

You have to create a new sense organ within yourself. This is what we are doing. This is why we are called Kabbalists, which comes from the word “Lekabel = to receive.” We wish to receive a sensation of the phenomenon that exists around us. It is the force that governs and fulfills the entire Universe, all of nature!

Then we will find out the purpose for our existence, what happens to us every moment of life, what was, what is, and what will be. After all, everything is inherent in this force!

When I begin working with the group I gradually encounter all kinds of problems. This is how the Creator reveals the area of work for me so I will resolve all problems that come up, cover them with bridges of love, and create conditions for His revelation within the group.

So I tie myself with the other group members, as the ten Sefirot, and provide a place for the Creator’s revelation between us.

Therefore, we constantly have to remind one another about this. After all, the Creator constantly resets us in our earthly philistinism, and we have to rise from it toward the spiritual tuning, to the correct view of the situation.

This is our constant work. We rise to the new spiritual state from the earthly, confusing world that the Creator makes for us on purpose.

Question: At what point does slander appear? How can I not miss this point in order to avoid entering it?

Answer: Slander comes from the sensation of one’s pride. If you say only good things about everybody you won’t be able to elevate yourself. The need to rise above others forces a person to slander others.

As a general rule, we have to try to talk only with the Creator.

Question: At what point does Kabbalah become a science?

Answer: Kabbalah becomes a science when a Kabbalist is engaged in it.

A Kabbalist is one who has achieved the state of “receiving for the sake of bestowal.” A person who possesses such properties understands the Creator’s actions within himself and in the universe. He becomes a researcher of the entire space revealed before him.

Therefore he is called a Kabbalist. Those who study Kabbalah are the students of Kabbalists for now since they are on the path to the attainment of the spiritual world.

Question: If there is none else besides Him, then is there a creation?

Answer: Creation appears only when it begins to reveal the Creator. It does not exist prior to that.
Thus, we cannot speak about creation without the Creator or about the Creator without the creation.

In other words, if the desire created by the Creator obtains the property in which it can attain the Creator, then it is called creation. Yet, the part that is still unable to accept the property of the Creator, which means revealing Him within itself, exists in the embryonic state and it is not a creation.

Therefore all people in our world and everything we feel now is a virtual creation, the existence of matter in the state anticipating the spiritual. Creation is called the created desire that has obtained freedom of choice and implemented it in similarity to the Creator.

Question: Is it possible to raise a prayer and attract the Light if I do not feel any desperation or suffering?

Answer: How is it possible to pray if you do not feel any suffering? How can you ask if you do not have any need? A prayer is a revelation of desire. If I have no desire, then there is no prayer either.

Question: I can pray only from my own desire (Hissaron). How can I pray from my ten?

Answer: There is no way. Of course, you can mumble something, but it does not influence anything. If you do not exist in a ten, you cannot nullify yourself. You cannot make yourself similar to the Creator in any way.

You cannot pray from a ten without a common desire. Only together with friends when you unite into a one whole can you form a common intention, which is called a prayer.

Question: Why should we believe you?

Answer: You shouldn’t believe me since you cannot actually perceive me and whether what I say is true or not. If a person understands the wisdom of Kabbalah he knows what I am talking about and if he doesn’t understand, how can he express his disagreement from the perspective of not understanding?

The wisdom of Kabbalah is not a system of information that a person is served and taught, but a guiding system and a set of instructions that lead a person to the revelation of the upper world. Then he can study and understand independently and this is the reason that I cannot tell you about it.

A person does not have the right tools or vessels which means the compatible senses and attributes to perceive the upper world because it is attained only when one resembles it and is equal to it. Even when a person reads Kabbalah books he doesn’t understand anything.

I can only explain the method of attaining the feeling of the upper world and how we can advance towards it, how to enter it by the connection between the friends, by drawing the Surrounding Light unto us, etc. A person will begin to feel and to attain this when he becomes a Kabbalist.

Question: Can we call it the hidden part of the Torah? Is what Kabbalah books describe the revealed part and what is attained the hidden part?

Answer: On the contrary, the hidden part is the part which the books describe, the levels, the ascents, the revelations, etc. Because when a person reads he doesn’t understand what he reads, but when he attains and feels the upper world, it is revealed to him, while it remains concealed for everyone else.

Question: In what areas would you compare Einstein to the Kabbalists?

Answer: Einstein, like the Kabbalists as well, searched for a single equation of nature that would describe all of the processes in the world on all levels.

Kabbalists go further. They want to understand all of the processes not only with the intellect and those in our world, but of all of the rest of the worlds, together. Attaining them fully and becoming like these processes—meaning equivalence with the Creator, or if you will, God—this is indeed the goal of the creation of humanity. All of us must reach this level, understanding and attaining this in this incarnation or in future incarnations.

Like Einstein, the Kabbalists also think that the field—Light, the thought of creation, the Creator—is primary, and the bodies, the desires that appear, are secondary. So, the wisdom of Kabbalah is involved with a study of human desire itself and brings the person to a discovery of the field, the Light, the Creator, within him.

Einstein didn’t succeed in attaining this because he thought that it was possible to attain the formula using the intellect, whereas the wisdom of Kabbalah attains this through a change in human desire, meaning through matter.

Question: What else do we lack in order to build the spiritual embryo after the series of powerful conventions we have been through and the work we have done to nullify ourselves?

Answer: We are not connected as an embryo yet, as well are not connected in order to form a womb in which the embryo can develop. We only need to connect; that’s all. We must connect as one body and be as one man in one heart. After all, you don’t want it yet. You are only studying.

Question: How can I want something that I don’t want all of the sudden?

Answer: We receive such a deficiency indirectly through the actions we perform. We cannot do anything against our ego directly, but indirectly we can spur the Light that Reforms that changes our nature.

Question: Can a small group in our bigger group connect and be as an embryo, or does everyone need to connect in order to achieve that?

Answer: At the moment, it is impossible to say for sure how it will happen because this situation has never been realized before. We must digest this principle thoroughly. We mustn’t be sure that something somehow would happen if it hasn’t yet been fulfilled.

There are infinite options in spirituality. Therefore, I don’t know what the internal group should be like in order to become an embryo that exists in the womb, the external group.

We are nearing this state gradually and very quickly. I am amazed each time by our sudden new leaps. However, there are no exceptions. We all must become an embryo according to our attitude to the desire to receive, and we all must become a womb in our attitude toward the desire to bestow. We build all of that of ourselves.

We must build the womb first, the level of bestowal, and raise it to the heavenly heights. Then, below it, we can build the level of receiving, which means the ground under our feet. There is always a right line first, bestowal, before the left line, receiving. This is what it says in the book Shulchan Aruch, which describes the commandments. This book gives us many practical instructions as to our internal work if we interpret them as spiritual concepts.

Question: What should we work on today?

Answer: We should work on the exaltedness of the attribute of bestowal and on building the connection between us in the form of an embryo. We must build the connection between us, which is the Creator, and the connection, which is the created being. Then, we will see that these are two sides of the same coin.

Question: But we cannot tie these two opposites together!

Answer: The Creator will arrange this oppositeness in the form of the middle line. Don’t worry. There isn’t much time left. We have made a great leap, and we will feel it soon. We don’t see the outcomes of the convention yet, but we will see it in the future, and we are advancing constantly toward it.

Comment: A new bill was proposed to cancel financial transactions imposed on the weaker sectors of the population, over the phone or during a visit of a representative from different companies, that push pensioners, new immigrants, or disabled people to buying products they have no need for.

Previously it was possible to cancel transactions within two weeks of a purchase, now it is proposed to extend the period to four months.

Answer: Correct. It is essential. In addition, organize legal aid for these people to protect them from the various offers and unexpected visits they receive. Such occurrences are frequent! After all, we are talking about a lot of money.

It is worthwhile to add, because at present there is a transition to communicate through the Internet since people contact each other through the internet and prefer not to go to stores.

Comment: The whole matter is about lack of trust….

Answer: The whole matter is about the egoistic nature of man that wants to cheat others, to get rich at the expense of others, and it’s the only way to earn a lot of money.

Question: Why does it make us feel good?

Answer: A person doesn’t just get corporeal satisfaction from it but also moral satisfaction. He feels that he is higher, more successful, and smarter than the other, that he is special.

Further, he is strongly convinced that he did a good deed for the “poor guy,” by selling him something a little cheaper.  He even justifies himself.

There is nothing we can do; we live in this world. If we reveal this from the viewpoint of egoistic existence, then we are speaking about constantly “deceiving ” each other and a constant struggle at all levels: in the government, in organizations, and between them!

Everything is aimed at deceiving people, taking advantage of them. First I think how  I will profit in relation to the other, that the other person should lose, and that he will lose in such a way that the next time he will come to me anyway and will buy from me. This means that the next time I can deceive again. And that’s the way it is all the time.

Question: Will there be an end to this?

Answer: The end will come only after all the population goes through general education. It needs to be a political mission. We need to support education for the society, for the nation, and also for the United Nations. After all, it should be involved only in education!
