Question: I waited so long for Black Friday to buy bicycles for myself. I finally bought them, and all of the desire for them disappeared for me. Why does this happen?

Answer: That is the way it always happens. If you are attracted to something that you don’t have, you have a desire for it and a desire to enjoy it. So you imagine your pleasure according to the lack and the unsatisfied desire, and therefore feel tit doubly.

When you get what you were seeking, the pleasure enters, it fills the desire, and you no longer want it, so that with the passing of the day or in a few hours the desire completely disappears. It is just like when you begin to eat some wonderfully delicious special dish that you really wanted to enjoy, but all of the pleasure ends.

The problem in our world is that when we begin to receive pleasure within the desire and the desire is fulfilled, just like when food fills up the stomach, we suddenly discover that the pleasure comes to an end. That is how everything ends, even life.

The question can be asked: Is it possible to get pleasure that will be endless and constantly increase instead of diminishing? Is it possible to do this so that the more that I receive, the more I enjoy, with no end? Then our lives would become unlimited, infinite, and eternal. Basically, this is the secret of eternal life. It depends only on how we use our desire.

The only question is how to make sure that the more I receive, the more I will want, and that this will never end. Is this possible?

The wisdom of Kabbalah is called “Kabbalah” (Reception) because this is a wisdom of how to receive; it talks about how to receive, how to fill myself in an unlimited and infinite manner.

If we connect among us—if the pleasure passes through me, and I transmit it to you, and you to another, and he to someone else and so on, and this flow constantly happens between us—then the pleasure never stops, and no one becomes full.

On the contrary, the pleasures that pass through everyone are constantly renewed, and each one of us begins to feel the pleasure that comes back to him from everyone, thus he gets pleasure from everyone. It follows that we have an infinite growth of pleasure that is infinite in time, which is called our attainment of the world to come, an eternal and perfect life.

That is what happens if we know how to us the reception of pleasure correctly, and this wisdom is called Kabbalah.

Question: Who begins to give first? Do I, or should I wait until they give to me, and then I give?

Answer: No, you come to a small group where, with you, they learn how you can connect so that the pleasure will pass from one to another, and we create a circular stream of energy between us that feels like we are rising in a flying saucer, above our substance, above all of this that is temporary, limited in movement, space, and enjoyment. And then you go into another dimension, away from all of the limitations of this world.
Come and try it!

Question: According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, is there a Satan?

Answer: No evil forces exist in nature, except for ourselves. No Satan (adversary), no angels and no demons exist. In Kabbalah, these terms refer to egoistic forces, no more than this.

Everything depends only on the person because people include the entire world within themselves, and if they rise to the level of the completion of correction, then no one can harm them.

However, people who don’t correctly understand the Kabbalistic sources begin to invent demons, vampires, and other evil spirits. Much time is needed to cleanse our minds of fantasies, ideas, and thoughts like these. All of these are egoistic forces within us that we must correct.

We exist in a completely deterministic system, tied from end to end with billions of nodes, and it is not in our power to change it. We only have the purely subjective possibility of changing its influence on us in that we experience its influence within us according to our internal state.

The science of Kabbalah says  that:

• Either we go with the flow of this system, which obliges us to be changed according to it; it forces us to bring ourselves into balance with it.

But this equilibrium is attained through very serious problems, continuous suffering that comes to all of humanity and to all of nature. And this is not only on the face of the Earth (volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes) but also in the universe (explosions on stars and other cosmic dramas).

• Or we strive to understand this system, what it requires from us, according to what law it evolves, and how we can match it so that we put ourselves into a state of homeostasis, balance, and harmony with it.

In this general system, which includes all of creation, space, our planet Earth with its nature and ecology and ourselves, is called the upper world, and we are within it.

The science of Kabbalah explains where we are and in what manner we can, from our free will, independently, with the joy of discovery and attainment, aspire to balance and accommodation with this external system all the time.

Through constant pursuit of the point of balance with the general system, when we go with it in unison, we begin to perceive its development, its forces, its tendencies, the intelligence that is behind this entire plan and its inner power.
There we feel intense love and care for us.

As we begin to be involved with this vast wisdom, we see that it includes all that a person feels and much more.

All this is given so that a person can become aware of his desires and thoughts; he goes out of himself and becomes an integral particle of the whole system; that is, he attains it completely and simultaneously is in at as one small manageable part.

Question: What prevents us from hearing this call or feeling this thought?

Answer: In order to understand the unity and integrality of the system, we were created disconnected and opposite to each other. This is because if we were created within this system, with its same characteristics, we would be inanimate, like it.

And in order to raise us from the inanimate level to the highest level, meaning to the thought of creation, we need to be completely opposite to this system, starting from our initial and basic state so that nothing disappears from us. We remain separate and opposite to the absolute, and are joined together above this, to attain a similarity to Him.

So when a person begins to grow spiritually, he is dual, meaning composed internally of two opposing systems. One of them is completely opposite to the system of management and the second is some partial resemblance to it that he himself creates within himself.

This was done intentionally by nature, so that from our point of view, we could “give birth to ourselves” as spiritually sensitive and begin spiritual attainment, ascending the levels of the upper worlds. The levels of the upper worlds are levels of resemblance to the upper force.

Question: Why would a person not immediately be placed within this harmonious state?

Answer: If he were placed him in such a state, he would have remained insensitive, like a stone in a field; he would lie there and not feel anything other than his minimal state.

But there are people who yearn to include the whole world within them, to understand, to perceive, to connect with the entire complete system. A person must have a desire like this: he needs to love and to tolerate, to be found with two opposing characteristics and grow according to the distance between them.

He suffers from not attaining fulfillment of his desires, whereas these are determined for him from above. A new desire is born within him every moment; this is called the awakening of Reshimot (remembrances). Reshimot [from the word, “Roshem” (impression), “Rishum” (recording)] are records of the next states. And the person constantly yearns for what is ahead with the goal of realizing them. This is his role.

And here he has a choice: either he throws everything into the hands of fate, and then he is pushed forward through all kinds of means, or he tries to attain his next state through his research and rising above himself. And this summarizes our lives: either a person goes with the flow or he tries to paddle on his own.

The difference between movement without organization and moving on your own is that you move with your own forces, you go with the force of the Creator. And in movement without organization, the nature of the inanimate rules you and you remain spiritually inanimate.

But to advance independently, against the nature of the inanimate, you need to receive His characteristics from the upper force, from the Creator. He makes it possible for you to advance forward, for this is the system of your relationship with the Creator. You go out to another level, and are not left alone in a boat in the middle of the turbulent river of life, but rise up to Him and are found with Him, above the stars.

Question: Using your personal life as an example, can you tell about some practical results that come from studying Kabbalah?

Answer: I can tell you one thing: a person who studies Kabbalah lives! Every day is new for him! He constantly attains and gives something new to the world.

After all, this wisdom reveals all kinds of so-called secret sources, laws, and interconnections within the world. Furthermore, we are created in such a way that only this knowledge can fulfill us.

Nothing else will ever satisfy us completely, calm us down, balance us, or make us happy! We can suppress ourselves with drugs, work, family, etc. But we will not come to the state that fulfills our soul, i.e., the desire aspiring to the eternal existence. This is only possible if you study Kabbalah, to comprehend the world.

See for yourself. It is worth spending some time on it. After that you will see that everything else will appear to be very small and insignificant.

Practical Results Of The Wisdom Of Kabbalah

From the News (Newsweek): “What does it take to communicate? If you’re on a crowded train platform, shouting to your friend 20 yards away, it might take simplification. Imagine trying to say ‘unequivocally.’ It probably wouldn’t work out. Any words with lots of consonants and complicated syllables would likely get garbled, swallowed up by the noise around you, blocked by the throng of bodies and kiosks and other objects in your way. So you keep it simple. A plain, old ‘yeah’ is probably going to reach her ears better.

“Now imagine extrapolating these constraints of acoustics to the whole human population, roaming the entire earth. Picture societies developing in myriad ecological habitats. At the same time, they’re evolving their own distinct languages. As it turns out, the characteristics of languages have a lot to do with the environment—specifically the climate and topography—they emerged in, according to new research… .

“People from cultures that originated in hot, tree-covered regions now tend to speak languages with fewer consonants and simpler syllables in part because, according to the researchers, both hot air and vegetation make transmission of higher frequency sounds (like those made with consonants) less reliable. According to Ian Maddieson, a linguist at the University of New Mexico and the study’s primary researcher, this is a major reason that languages spoken by people in tropical areas use many more vowels and simpler syllable structures than their counterparts in more open, colder places. Vowels transmit at lower frequencies, and simpler syllable structures are less likely to be garbled by having trees in their way.

“Rough terrain, like mountains and cliffs, have a similar effect on language as vegetation. People in these regions also speak with simpler syllables and more vowels. Wind and rain appear to play roles in shaping human languages in different areas as well, Maddieson says. All these ecological factors account for about a quarter of the variation in how consonant-dominant a language turns out to be.

“…They found that the average annual precipitation, average annual temperature, vegetation density and ‘rugosity’ (or mountainousness) of a region, as well as its elevation, all correlated to characteristics of that region’s language. The particular acoustics of environments, they concluded, account for a lot of how differences in human languages developed.

“Maddieson says these findings suggest that the acoustic adaptation hypothesis, which has mostly been applied to describe birds, can be applied to humans too. Since the 1970s, researchers have observed that birdsong appears to depend heavily on the ecological habitat each particular species calls home. ‘The highest notes and the range of notes are lower in forested kinds of environments compared to open environments in birdsong,’ Maddieson says. Birds evolved their communication, then, according to acoustic factors similar to the ones Maddieson’s team studied in relation to humans. But unlike birds, humans are one species, which Maddieson says makes this use of the hypothesis particularly compelling.

“’Now, within a single species of bird, they’re finding that the birds that live in cities with a background noise of cars, etcetera, are singing in higher pitch notes than birds that live in rural areas,’ he says. ‘The birds are adapting to the traffic noise. This is really more what we’re talking about with humans. The same species adapting to their environment.’

“Could humans who live in urban areas, then, be currently morphing their rural-born language to better suit those conditions?

“’Over time, I would expect that to evolve. But we haven’t been living probably long enough yet in noisy urban environments yet,’ Maddieson says. ‘But come back in a few more years, and you might see that, yes.’”

My Comment: All of nature is mutually connected in one single system where everything is aligned according to general rules of mutual connection. The goal of nature is to bring all of the parts within it to mutual and full cooperation in which the single force of nature is revealed and everything is filled with the characteristic of unity, the Creator. The main law of nature is balance and harmony; therefore, the full influence of all the characteristics and all the parts of nature on everything is inevitable. This is the law of the integral, linked world.

Question: Do I need to know Hebrew to study Kabbalah?

Answer: Every science uses its specific language. Just as a musician cannot get along without the Italian language and a doctor without Latin, the Kabbalist cannot get along without Hebrew. Therefore, we must learn the Kabbalistic terms in Hebrew.

The wisdom of Kabbalah is a very ancient science. It originated 5,776 years ago, and it uses an ancient arsenal of words and expressions from Hebrew and Aramaic, two languages that are complementary to each other like mirror images.

In Kabbalah, there are few terms we must master—only a few dozen. They are repeated constantly and very rapidly become familiar and understood by a person who studies Kabbalah.

Question: I am already retired; is it too late for me to study Kabbalah?

Answer: What else is there to do?! Just sit in front of the television and wait until life is finished, while during this time you could achieve so much more?

If it happens to be someone’s destiny to become acquainted with the system of the upper world at a mature age, it means that the management system is leading him to spiritual ascent, and during whatever is still allotted to him in this world, he needs to ascend and correct himself.

So begin to study immediately. And it is very good that you are mature; you don’t need to be concerned about distractions; you have a pension for a decent existence. So live your life to ascend to the upper world.

Question: You say that we are all one soul, but how is that related to my life? Even if this is true, I don’t understand what I actually can do?

Answer: We perform many actions in our lives. I begin this life and end it, but do I know what I am living for? No. Do I know today what to do with my life tomorrow? Not really.

It is like entering a small door in a giant house and getting lost there, not knowing when I can get out of all of the rooms and whether I entered them by mistake or not. We don’t know how to determine our good fate by ourselves.

The wisdom of Kabbalah gives us the map of life, and you can use it like an atlas.

Suppose you go on a vacation to some foreign land. You look at the map of that country, the map of the city you are in, and it is clear to you where you are and how to maximize the pleasure of spending this vacation to miss nothing: to see the sites, taste their local dishes, etc. Even for this week, you don’t want to waste a thing.

We have entered a place called this world, and how we are going to spend the time here doesn’t seem to worry us.

The wisdom of Kabbalah gives you a map according to which you can see where you are and discover where everything that is good and wonderful is. Why should you roam the streets aimlessly exposed to dangerous and dirty places?!

You can choose the good way and attain the best conditions. There is always a choice to some extent. Everyone can choose what is suitable for him according to the root of his soul. This is exactly what the wisdom of Kabbalah enables us to do.

Up to now, we have developed in a very simple manner. Everyone acquired a certain profession in order to make money, to have a family, and to succeed. Today, we have outgrown this development. We don’t want simply to have a family or a profession. We want to discover something that is more internal. And that is why we need the wisdom of Kabbalah that will guide us correctly in the search for meaning in life.

Question: I am from Azerbaijan. I have been feeling something for two years now that I would like to talk about. I have always loved everyone and I also love everyone now. You cannot imagine how much I love everyone in the world.

Even while writing to you, I feel you and am happy that you exist. There were times when I thought that everyone should love me, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. I have encountered people and began not to like them, and thus I have eventually stopped loving myself.

Crying about that, I asked God: why I am alive in the first place? Then one day I wished that God would help me come out of this black pit… and then it all began… shortly after I began to understand that there is no need to change people.

People who I didn’t like are attributes that are inside me which don’t let me love them. I want to be useful to all society and to repay society. I am not living in this world by chance. How can I climb the spiritual levels step by step?

Answer: It is only in the right environment that you can properly study and understand the wisdom of Kabbalah. Perhaps there is such a group in your country.

Question: How is the wisdom of Kabbalah related to Judaism? Which of the religions today is closest to the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: Modern Judaism appeared about 2,000 years ago when the Jews fell from the level of “love thy friend as thyself” to the level of unfounded hate.

The people lost the feeling of the upper world, which means that the wisdom of Kabbalah was lost. Until then the people lived entirely in two dimensions, in feeling the two worlds!

Before the destruction of the Second Temple, until 2,000 years ago, the Jewish people lived in the feeling of the upper world. A totally different world was revealed to them! But they fell into unfounded hatred and the feeling of the upper world disappeared, instead Judaism as we know it today replaced it, i.e., keeping simple customs, which exists to this day.

Other than Judaism there are nearly 3,800 religions, faiths, and methods today that are called “spiritual.” None of them has anything to do with the wisdom of Kabbalah because they are all based on a person’s ego.

We can clearly see that they are intended to dividing people between themselves, while the wisdom of Kabbalah aims to connect people and raise man above his egoistic nature.

The wisdom of Kabbalah isn’t a religion. A Kabbalist doesn’t believe in anything. According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, faith is the attribute of bestowal. If a person acquires the attribute of bestowal, he reveals the upper world to the extent that he possesses this attribute.

Faith that a person has in our world is being told something and believing what he has been told. This is not faith in the Creator, but faith in a person who has told him about the Creator. The wisdom of Kabbalah negates this approach.

The wisdom of Kabbalah is a science! It reveals the upper world according to the law “a judge only has what his eyes can see.” This means that a person has to discover the upper world and only what you reveal do you have the right to speak about.
