Comment: Sometimes you say that after you there will be extensive material in the archive, and then the group can go on by itself.

My Response: No, it will not work! It will be the same as all over the world, the same farce.

If a certain mass of people from among my students do not reach the exit to the upper world, then all this may fall again and die out. The world will plunge into darkness again, and will be unable to reach the upper degree in a kind, smooth, fast way. It will plunge into decades of wars, terrible wars of annihilation: shoot, burn, and clean up the Earth.

Question: You say that the teacher does the work for the students. What do you do to help students, what elements do you use?

Answer: I act the same way as parents who do everything for their children, but this is hidden from the child’s awareness. That is why you do not see or feel anything yet, you are at the degree of a child.

Question: Maybe you will reveal some secret?

Answer: There are no secrets here! I am not hiding anything. You hide everything from yourself with your own brains. The whole of nature, the whole universe, is open. What can I do? Should I put different eyes in you so that you can see?

A small child who really wants to become an adult is comforted by the toy bought for him. He plays with it, he sees himself in it; it matches him. What can he do with a huge car or with some incomprehensible system?

Question: Is there any danger that the backbone of the world group, which is used to certain rules, will not let others in? How difficult would it be for the group to welcome new people?

Answer: I see that those people who want to join have the strength, hunger for knowledge, agility, and maturity; they join and take their places.

Question: So there is a natural selection?

Answer: Of course. A person must win his place and prove his necessity for others.

But we are not kicking anyone out. Please, admission is free. We welcome every friend, anyone, wherever he comes from, and whoever he is. And then it is his business.

Question: According to Kabbalah, collective thought is very effective. For example, if we have some important meeting related to dissemination, we ask everyone to think about it. What is happening at this time?

Answer: There are not some secret or mystical forces that begin to work, but desires that are connected together because our thoughts and feelings connect with each other.

Imagine if all the people on earth thought about one thing at the same time, what a power it would be! Especially here, when we need to think about bestowing, of course we need each other’s help.

It is written about this in all Kabbalistic articles about the group. What else is the purpose of the group if not strengthening my desire due to the fact that the desires of others are adjacent to mine because by them we are connected with each other?

There are many scientific studies on this topic today that prove all people are connected in desires and thoughts.

Question: When a person goes against his will by force, does it mean that he is doing some spiritual work? And if he does what he likes according to his desire, then does he not advance at all?

Answer: Why should he do something against his will? No.

Perhaps there are such moments, but in principle, nothing should be forced. It all depends on the importance of the goal. If the goal is important and I feel it as important, then for me it is just a song, a fairy tale, I move forward with joy.

Question: Very often I hear the phrase “go against your will.” Meaning, is it recommended to organize such games so that a person supposedly goes against his will?

Answer: These games are needed only so that we can speed up our journey, so that I can see how much I am under the force of these desires, how weak I am, and that should join the group faster, rely on my friends, get strength, elevation, and greatness of the spiritual goal from them.

Question: What is the solution? To go, but effectively with the desire? Or go against the will, and do unusual work?

Answer: It is this way and that way. It is impossible to go only against desires by force.

If you can overcome yourself, it means that you have found a more important goal in yourself than the one that exists at the moment. That is the point. If I am lazy, I do not want to do anything, then I have to enter into an environment that would give me the importance of the spiritual goal and spiritual development. Then it will not be hard for me to do everything.

And if I do it only involuntarily, physically, then this is a preliminary stage, a very weak inclusion in development.

It is said that a person asks the Creator to give him the desire to bestow as a gift because it is a vessel in which one can reveal and feel the Creator. After all, the desire to bestow works on the same wave as the Creator.

It is like we are turning the knob of a radio receiver and tuning in to the right wave. If the wave inside the radio and the wave outside are similar and coincide in frequency, we begin to hear the sound, catching it out of the air. In Kabbalah this is called the law of equivalence of properties.

Therefore, if we want to connect so as to bring each friend closer and for everyone to unite together, then in this way we build a detector, a device, for attaining the Creator. The upper force is revealed within us and is called the Creator (Bo-Reh), which means come and see. Come (Bo) because we have come closer to Him, and see (Reh) because we reveal Him, and therefore we call Him the Creator.

Question: Is the ordinary suffering in this world not enough for us, must we add suffering to ourselves by yearning to reach the upper world? Does it mean that by embarking on the spiritual path, a person doubles his sufferings?

Answer: Yes, you multiply your suffering in order to traverse this path as soon as possible! What else can push you forward?

However, we are not sent suffering from above, we by ourselves need to reveal the suffering of love within us.

The reforming light causes us the sufferings of love for it, and we rush forward driven by these sufferings, and not by life’s sufferings like animals who are beaten, do not understand anything, and run away from the blows of fate.

Therefore, from above they are waiting for us to start acting. But we think, well, we can wait until help comes from above and everything is arranged by itself.

But what kind of help can come from above besides the sufferings of the corporeal world that will make us move forward?!

If you are included in the group, you will get spiritual sufferings and you will start moving faster.

This is a feeling of spiritual emptiness, the sufferings of love. Then there will be no need to push you with ordinary sufferings.

If you yourself are yearning to move forward at the speed that is determined for you according to your initial spiritual data, your Reshimot, then there is no need to push you by a “stick to happiness”.

However, if you already rise so high that you connect with all the other souls, you begin to suffer for them, as a mother suffers for her children. Therefore, it seems to us that Kabbalists also suffer in this world.

Question: The article “Lock and Key” of the Introduction of The Book of Zohar is about the key that both opens and closes a lock, i.e., something concealed. What is this quality within a person that opens and closes a lock in this context?

Answer: It depends on the qualities of the person who is coming closer or moving away from the Creator. In accordance with this, he either opens or closes the entire universe for himself, all of nature.

You will be able to find the key that reveals the actions of the Creator within yourself if you change the qualities of reception in you to qualities of bestowal. This can be done only if you are in a group, in connection with others who are similar to you, when you together help each other to rise above your egoism and open yourself to others.

It turns out that in this way you come closer to each other, and it becomes clear to you how you can attain the entire nature.

This happens according to the law of equivalence of qualities. You can reveal the actions of the Creator only if you yourself perform similar actions with your desires.

Question: Suppose an intelligence agent enters the environment of the enemy and lives there for a long time. How can he protect himself from the influence of this environment? Is it really possible?

Answer: I do not know how the agent protects himself.

In Kabbalah, it is very simple. If a person does not want to, then he does not experience any pressure from the environment because the spiritual environment is unnatural for him.

You come to a group where you have to make an effort to be connected with it because here everyone is talking about love, about friendship, about rising above their egoism and coming closer to others. This is against your innate nature; there is no need to train intelligence agents.

Here you come by yourself as an outside element, and you have to work on yourself for a long-long time if you want to infiltrate this environment. It openly shows you what it has. If you want, you can infiltrate it.

If you stay in the group as an outsider, you will never understand anything. As soon as you make yourself an element similar to this group, then you will be able to understand what is happening in it. But then it will be too late because you have already become different.

There are no external games here. You cannot behave outwardly like an artist, but internally remain the same extraneous element. You cannot. Either one or the other. You have to change your nature.

Therefore, in our world, an agent can remain, for example, a convinced communist in a capitalist society. But not here; otherwise, you will not be able to get any Kabbalistic information.

But even if you get it, you will not be able to tell your masters about it because they will not understand anything about it, and they do not need it. In our egoistic world, no one is interested in how to be kind and good, and to love other people.

Therefore, Kabbalah is the most unnecessary science for our world. But it is needed precisely in order to raise our world. From this point of view, it is the most necessary.

The point of freewill in a Kabbalistic group is in the decision to expose yourself to the influence of the environment.

This is the most fundamental thing: me and the group. I must gather this team around me, unite them together in one fist, enter among them, invigorate them so that they act on me and I on them, and we would move toward the highest goal.

Although we do not feel it, let’s all take on this task together: “Yes we do not understand what we are doing. Maybe it is still hidden from us. So we will play at it like children and eventually we will grow up because there is a force in nature that develops us.”

But often this is a “voice of one crying out in the desert” that does not resonate with anyone. Or everyone speaks beautifully and others do not respond. Everyone is shouting, “Let’s do it, let’s do it!” and at the same time they look not at each other, but look in different directions.

Comment: Nonetheless people cannot, for example, stay in a certain surrounding for five years that does not affect them in at least some way.

My Response: They have to support each other!

Changes occur in them everyday. Moreover the changes that are taking place in the world should also push them toward their own changes.

After all, since the moment the science of Kabbalah began to be revealed to the general public, look at the changes that have occurred in the world and also with us! There are already millions of us.

The first step to achieve the love of the Creator is to adhere to friends in the group by loving one’s neighbor as oneself. In the first stage, a person discovers his inability to love others and turns to the Creator for help.

Then he sees how much he depends on his friends, on everyone individually, and all together. He aims to get closer to each friend and support him, as well as bring everyone together into one system that the Creator fills and raises higher and higher on the degrees of unity.

Adhesion means that I strive to get closer to my friend by getting to know him better and strengthening the inner connection with him until we feel like one person with one heart. This means that we have one desire, even though we are two different people.

We feel the distance between us all the time, but over it, we want to achieve closeness and connection. And so I learn how much these two opposites help each other.

I study the qualities of a friend and try to make my qualities correspond to him in an external form.

Children learn from adults by imitating them in everything. This instinct is embedded in the child at the animate level. On a spiritual level we need to penetrate the inner qualities of an adult, into his feelings, understanding, and nature, and try to become like him inside.

Of course, this is impossible. But we can outwardly perform actions imitating someone else, even the Creator, and ask Him to reward our efforts by making internal changes in us that will bring us closer to Him. That is the whole point of working in a group.

In a group of ten people, there are ten desires, and each desire is divided into smaller ones. If we try to get closer and closer to each other and intertwine our desires, then over time we will feel how each is imbued with the desires of the other, and gradually we turn into one person with one heart.

Such a connection between people does not happen in the material world—it is a connection of spiritual nature on another level. It is like a chemical reaction between atoms of different substances when they combine into increasingly complex molecules. But only this reaction of connection occurs at a higher degree: between desires, thoughts, and perceptions, and until everything unites into one heart.

Each of us has different qualities, but above all of us, there is one head that controls everything. If the ten is built and operates on this principle, then we feel the revelation of the Creator in it.
