Our representatives took part in the Frankfurt Book Fair 2010. This is our 6th fair. Laitman Kabbalah Publishers is becoming well-known, and the relationships that we have developed are starting to bear fruit.
Lately, people have been sending in many questions about our education system. We are creating a new educational system, and we must use it for the sake of bestowal, for dissemination purposes. This will pave the path to its successful development, support, and acknowledgement. Our children will become part of the process that is directed toward aiding all the children of the world. We are using that which is the dearest to us, our children, for dissemination purposes, as an example of proper upbringing.
This is the key to success: We are not only concerned with the well-being of our children, but the well-being of the entire world. This means that our primary objective is not in creating our own school, but in organizing virtual, model classes to serve as examples for shaping children into adults.
We will use this foundation to make educational video programs so children around the world could use them to study after school over the internet or through local television. Dynamic programs of different formats tailored to specific age groups will introduce us as a serious educational organization that really cares about education. We will provide the world with a systematic supply of educational programs in different languages. Naturally, we will do it without mentioning the wisdom of Kabbalah, but only using its global, integral approach to the revelation of the world.
This system does not conflict with the scholastic program; on the contrary, it shapes a child into an adult. Gradually, we will also introduce all the school subjects into our programs from the perspective of the global worldview of reality and our world.
We need to teach children to understand that their perception of the world is relative and show them that it is possible to feel and understand the world in a different way without becoming stuck on stubborn preconceived notions. When telling children about nature, we need to teach them about relative perception, arouse questions about themselves, bring them closer to reality, and open up the world before them.
The aforementioned are not groundless fantasies, but actual results that we already clearly observe on hundreds of our children over the past several years.

Question: How do I work on connecting with the friends in the group beyond the work on Kabbalah circulation?
Answer: Circulation has absolutely nothing to do with spiritual connection between us. It is a burden we have accepted as our duty so as to serve the world on the corporeal level. Obviously, it is desirable that dissemination were done solely by our people since they can infuse it with the spiritual spark, but in principle, we can recruit outsiders for it as well.
As to spirituality, it is defined as our unity above the level of egoism or our climbing the spiritual degrees by acting above reason. There is no other possibility. This work is not related to dissemination; it is personal and available to everyone, even if the person lives in Alaska in complete isolation.
True circulation is spreading one’s desire for connection and love in the entire network of connections between the souls.

Question: Many people around the world study Kabbalah and wonder why your organization is more successful than others?
Answer: This is because we think about bestowal, about Kabbalah circulation. We are prepared to spend our money to distribute millions of free newspapers and to do many other things. The more efficiently we use our financial resources, people, and time, the more we will succeed in spirituality. Thanks to this in particular, we have a TV channel in Israel and other opportunities that we have been given.
We succeed because we strive to bestow, to circulate, and to want the Creator (the Light that Reforms) to help us. We stand firmly on this: We try to be the means for correction and not to stray from the path.
As a result, more people join us and are attracted to us without even knowing why. It is not because we are so good, but because the Light acts this way, spreading out in circles from the center. It is a law of nature. There is no luck or protection here. We must continue to do our non-profit dissemination in a more efficient and precise way, and it will bring us success again and again. This is because the Light is with us! We know how to attract the Light!

Question: There seems to be a paradox: It is written that “There is none else besides Him,” which means that the Creator is the source of everything. But then how do I treat a person who is trying to hurt me?
Answer: It is also written: “The Creator sends you good through good people and punishes you through the bad.” Hence, those who commit evil acts should be punished not because they have done something bad but because they have deserved to become the conduit through which the Creator has channeled evil into our world. It turns out that punishment is not really punishment, but the correction of the person and the world.
Question: In one of the interviews you told a journalist that you didn’t consider yourself a professor and are indifferent to what others say about you. Why did you do so? Ultimately, it casts a shadow on Kabbalah circulation.
Answer: Criticism is very healthy because it is a preventive remedy against pride. It is also written: “The Creator pressures a person whom He favors.” Moreover, He sends wreckers and accusers against that person in order to help him defeat his pride and egoism. Besides, as in the actions against Klipot such as “Maim Achronim,” “Seir le Azazel,” and others, there is an obligation to throw the “bones to the dogs.” True dissemination will benefit from it even more.

Question: We are asking a question on behalf of a friend; this question bothers him a lot. Can he charge people money for blessings in order to help them with difficult situations in life? He also proposes doing this as a part of our local group work because he believes this to be dissemination and a way to attract new people to Kabbalah.
He has money problems, so he’s facing a choice between taking a risky job or trying to make money by giving people blessings. This question confused us so we are turning to you to avoid making a mistake.
Answer: It is absolutely forbidden to use Kabbalah to make money, especially by cheating people, and if a member of the group is found to be doing this, then you must immediately expel him from the group. Never use Kabbalah to make money. It completely excludes a person from the spiritual path. Do not do blessings of any kind; they are a lie!
Only the desires of the group and selfless thoughts about a friend can help him. It is forbidden to use Kabbalah to make money! It is the same with curses like Pulsa DeNura, as if someone could actually hurt another person using such things. These miracles do not exist!
We can only aspire towards the Light, the force of love and bestowal, which is the only positive force in the world. This force is our only opportunity to actually do something in the world. It is the only freedom of will that exists.

Baal HaSulam was rewarded with very high spiritual attainment. However, he was pleading with the Creator to lower him from his spiritual level in order to pass the wisdom of Kabbalah down to the people. The most profound factor that helped him to accomplish this was the inclusion of the ARI’s soul (Ibur Neshama) in him. The entire method of the wisdom of Kabbalah regarding the last stage of correction descends to us from the ARI. It explains how to exit the fourth and last exile to the complete spiritual redemption.
Therefore, as soon as the ARI’s method was revealed, no true Kabbalist studied any other books written before the ARI. In response to his request, Baal HaSulam was granted by the Creator the revelation of the soul of the ARI within him. This is what allowed him to write the Sulam Commentary on The Book of Zohar and The Study of Ten Sefirot, the commentary on all of the ARI’s works that describe the structure of the spiritual world.
No Kabbalist that came before him was able to describe the method of the “three lines” of the soul’s correction. As it stands, the entire Torah is the middle line; mutual guarantee is the middle line. Our major work and the revelation of the Creator to us lie in the middle line. Hence, exposing the method of working in the middle line is spiritual salvation for us.
There is no Kabbalist to match the ARI who discovered this method, and there is no Kabbalist to match Baal HaSulam who passed it down and explained to us how to work with it. This is why his books are the source of Light for us.

Question: After the appearance of Baal HaSulam’s writings in the world, the whole method of correcting the soul is complete. From this point on, there are two jobs at hand: 1. disseminating the method of Baal HaSulam, and 2. our realizing the method. Should these two processes occur simultaneously?
Answer: Of course! To the extent that we circulate the wisdom of Kabbalah in the world, we attract people with the point in the heart, and they join us. Therefore, our force – the force of those who desire to reach the revelation of the Creator, the correction of creation, love of neighbor, unity, and merging with the Upper Force – grows.
As the number of our students grows, we achieve greater unification by the force of quantity, and as a result, each of us possesses a greater force. The more people that gather at the bottom of the pyramid, the more qualitative the force becomes since more people rise to the top of the pyramid, and the pyramid itself grows.
Thus, we have two opposite tendencies: to unite more on the inside and to circulate more on the outside, into the world. However, these two directions in our activities are not opposite since we disseminate the spiritual force through the strength of inner unification.
