Question: Why does a person not understand that while reading The Book of Zohar, he is engaging with the greatest thing that exists in reality?

Answer: If a person was shown what was happening to him, he would not be able to relate to it correctly.

For example, if a child could understand why he is developing like this: running from corner to corner, touching, trying, breaking, crying, he would already be above the level he is on.

The fact is that spiritual development does not happen in the same way as in our world where we go to university and fill our voids with knowledge while studying. Here is the development of feelings and desires that we do not possess.

Under the influence of light, we develop completely new properties in ourselves, which we initially do not have. When we reach their definite development, these properties are born in us, and we begin to feel the upper world in them.

But until they have developed, we cannot see them, feel them, or understand them because there must be some threshold to which we must grow and acquire a minimum level of sensitivity.

Question: In physics and in other sciences of the corporeal world, a field is usually associated with some kind of a carrier. In the spiritual world, is there no such carrier, or is it also determined?

Answer: In our world, there are some fields that we find difficult to form in the form of corporeal ones. I do not see the difference between different influences and everything that exists. I see it only in the detector, a person who, within himself, determines the division into many different carriers, parts, and properties.

Basically, an information field is just a field. It is a power. We call it the force of bestowal. A person is the receiving power. He has the opportunity to receive perception from this field directly as he is, and then he feels himself as existing, as they say, in our world.

He also has the opportunity to rise in his sensations to higher levels of conjugation with this field. Then, in addition to our level of perception, he will feel other levels of this field—spiritual. But all the same, all these sensations are only in the person himself, and only in the degree of the similarity of his properties to the properties of the field.

Comment: In science, there is great confusion between consciousness, reason, and intellect. Everything is piled into one heap.

My Response: Let’s try to understand these definitions. Frankly speaking, I never did this intentionally. I found my teacher at a young age, and he “bought” me with an absolutely clear, systematic approach to everything.

Comment: The problem is that for hundreds of years we have made almost no progress on this issue. Descartes, for example, searched for the soul in the brain, found the pineal gland, and said “This is the soul.” And today it is the same: consciousness is sought after in the brain.

Surprisingly, it seems that exactly in these areas there is great progress, there is tomography, a large number of tools, but we have not made any progress.

My Response: The fact is that these devices will not be able to give us any impression about the soul, about consciousness, nor about the mind.

Comment: Unfortunately, scientists continue their research in this direction. Some of them say, “Consciousness research is a waste of time.” Others feel that they have reached a dead end and can do nothing. Yet, all of them still continue to cling to a purely materialistic approach.

My Response: Kabbalah also deals with pure materialism. It says, “It is necessary to find a way to rise above our nature. Our entire nature is egoism. We must try to rise above it.”

Do we have this opportunity or not? Kabbalah says that we have it, and accordingly it gives some tools, some opportunities.

On one hand, this is, in principle, a clear, sober, materialistic approach. On the other hand, it goes against our nature, our egoistic desires. Therefore, scientists do not need it.

Within the framework of our nature, scientists agree to anything because there is a visible benefit in the place where you invest. They are willing to take risks and sacrifice themselves, but they understand this in their mind at the same level. There are well-known examples of when scientists really sacrificed their lives in dangerous experiments.

However, the average person cannot understand what Kabbalah offers. Here we need a different atmosphere, a different laboratory. Here you yourself are the laboratory.

How can we talk about the mind if we do not try to rise above it?! How can we study it?! This is clear to anyone: If I need to research something, I need to be at least a small step higher than this object of research. It is impossible to do anything without exiting yourself. Therefore, I agree with those who say that this is beyond their control.

Without the auxiliary tool that Kabbalah offers,—to extract from the surrounding world, from the field surrounding us, a force that is opposite to our nature, and make it change us, raise us above our nature to the next level—it is impossible to explore our current degree. Then we will know what the mind is and what consciousness is. It will be possible for anyone.

In the meantime, we just have to accept without proof that there is such a force that can take us to the next degree. Then from this degree, we will explore our consciousness and our mind.

Remark: In recent years, scientists around the world have been actively studying the phenomenon of spiritual sensations.

From the point of view of neuroscience, it is related to the activity of the lower parietal lobe of the brain. All tested subgroups have a similar sign of this sensation, when in a person’s consciousness the boundary between his personality and the rest of the surrounding world is blurred and a feeling of connection with something much larger than himself arises.

My Response: Correct. On the plane of our earthly psychology, this is exactly what happens.

Question: How can we evoke spiritual sensations, something that is defined in the material world as enlightenment?

Answer: True spiritual sensations do not depend on mental, physical, or moral efforts. They depend only on the person’s interactions with those around him when he, through the direct positive influence on others, reaches the revelation of the connection with the upper force of governance. But only to the extent he is able to rise above his ego.

Question: Is the brain activated in any way in that?

Answer: No. It could be a very simple person or it could be a great sage, it does not matter.

Question: Sometimes a complex problem stumps a person. You struggle with a solution, but there is no solution. But should you get distracted, and an epiphany falls on you, everything is suddenly solved. Scientists say that almost a third of people solve problems only with the help of an epiphany.

From the point of view of biology, an insight or epiphany is the formation of a new neural connection in the brain. You can’t create it directly, but somehow, with the help of effort, distraction, by creating certain conditions, it just appears, and in a person’s mind it appears as a solution.

Do you think it is possible to cause such an epiphany?

Answer: Yes. This can be done by moral and mental exertion, by placing yourself in a certain external environment with certain people or with nature.

A person who is searching for his new spiritual state needs this illumination. He understands that there are forces around us, and he would like to invoke their influence on himself. He tries to do it.

There are even all sorts of techniques, both spiritual and scientific, that talk about how to do it. Try it.

Comment: Even quantum physics says that a person moves unevenly, but progressively, from level to level. That is, there is a jump through the potential difference, and the person moves, rises.

My Response: There is a cumulative process, and then a jump.

Question: Can an epiphany be likened to such a jump?

Answer: Yes, but this is done on a different plane, not in the mind. Not that he can order an epiphany in advance, but he makes a certain effort to do so.

Question: Can a person read The Book of Zohar not in the original language but in translation?

Answer: It doesn’t matter. You can read in any language and it does not even matter how much you understand. Your striving for the goal even without understanding what you read awakens forces that change you, and this is very important. You seek to attain.

There are many books and other information about Kabbalah in our Internet archive. It is accessible to everyone, because without basic knowledge, you still cannot exist in the spiritual world, just as a person cannot do without basic knowledge of arithmetic, physics, and other subjects.

After studying them for the first 10 to 15 years of life, he can already function safely in our world. And if he, as a child, was thrown somewhere in the forest and he comes out of there in 15 years, he will not be able to live in this world.

Therefore, we need to prepare a person for spiritual life. This is the purpose of the huge amount of information that we have on the Internet and in books, so that a person can get to know it at least a little. This is enough to begin to be drawn into the revelation of the upper.

Question: What is the purpose of the brain in human life?

Answer: Kabbalah says that in his perception of the world, a man consists of two components, the desire and the mind. The most important is his desire.

Our desires can be egoistic, i.e., completely aimed at revealing oneself and the world precisely in an egoistic manner, in terms of personal comfort. They can also be altruistic, that is, opposed to egoism. But altruistic desires do not initially exist in nature, they need to be achieved. When we enter above the egoistic area of our cognition of nature, we investigate it, as it were, independent of ourselves.

However, this is relative independence because it is us who are exploring anyway. But this is completely different research, which speaks of what exists outside of a man, and how he can attain, cognize, and use it.

Thus, there are two types of cognition: cognition in egoism and cognition in the property of bestowal and love to others when a man, as if from himself, emotionally transmigrates into others. Then he feels the world outside himself. These two types of cognition are studied by Kabbalah.

Our brain is just an auxiliary tool. It helps us connect pictures of the world, either egoistically or altruistically, helps us explore them, and is directing us to this.

Question: Why do people who come even just a little in touch with Kabbalah start to change for the better within a few months? They come out of depression, interact better with the world around them, make peace with their enemies, and so on.

Answer: The fact is that it gives them hope, shows them the light at the end of the tunnel, that life has meaning, has a continuation.

That is, they reveal a broad picture, a panel of the entire nature of human interaction and how it all rises up to the next dimension.

Question: Despite the fact that your lectures are recorded on video and audio, books are still published. What is the importance of printed books?

Answer: The fact is that the book will not disappear. It may be more convenient in electronic form. If I fly somewhere, I open my laptop where I can find any book on Kabbalah written several thousand years ago. I do not have to carry bookshelves with me.

However, the actual presentation of material through letters is eternal. It cannot disappear because it has its own spiritual root.

In the world of information from which all influences descend upon us, letters represent certain signs, certain forces. Their form, their image in our world is dictated by the structure and connection with the upper world, with the world of upper information. Therefore, it will not disappear.

Question: How do you feel about the books that your students write?

Answer: I have not personally read these books. In general, I do not know in what form they are produced and how they are processed.

I believe that if a person wants to seriously study Kabbalah, he should take notes from my lectures. Over the past 25 years, there have been videos of all the lessons that I teach every day for at least three hours.

Moreover, during the day I hold various meetings, conversations, and explanations. All this huge mass of information is stored in our archive. You just need to try to understand it and start studying it.

In addition, there are courses, all kinds of preliminary classes. Basically, you need to go through them quickly and start my classes.

I do not in any way deny the books my students write. Among them there are people who have been studying Kabbalah for decades. But it seems to me that serious studies of Kabbalah are in my video archive.
