Question: The starting and ending point of the spiritual path are predetermined. How is it possible to reach the endpoint?

Answer: The fact is that when we attain the wisdom of Kabbalah, we grasp it in our personal internal Kelim (instruments), and even though we are repeating the results of the scientists, the previous Kabbalists who already went through these experiments, we discover them in our own way.

Ultimately, they are identical, yet not identical because here enters the connection between the rigid experiment and psychological inner perception, and this is individual.

Thus, the understanding of a Kabbalist is simultaneously both objective and subjective.

Question: What is the difference between the concept of objectivity in the wisdom of Kabbalah and in conventional science?

Answer: A normal person perceives a scientific experiment outside of himself, on some material, for example, on a screen where he tracks what is happening.

And what the researcher sees, others also observe because all of this can be measured and compared. If it requires special training, it is possible to be taught, and completely the same image will be observed.

It is not important if your observation, of say of a certain glow, is slightly different from the observation of another person. You don’t take this into account.

In Kabbalah, the perception and the attainment happen within a person. And as each one of us is created from a different set of properties, our perception of the revealed field we discover for ourselves.

On the one hand, the gradations and characteristics of this field are identical for everyone; on the other hand, each one perceives them differently within himself. In addition, there is the further possibility to combine these perceptions to reach an even greater external and higher attainment.

Question: Does Kabbalah teach the correct attitude to all kinds of events occur during the day?

Answer: Kabbalah does not teach how to navigate your way in this life, but how to find the entrance to the upper world, to identify where the door is that I will open in order to enter it.

Question: What if I’m interested in corporeal life? Let’s say I have a problem with the bank.

Answer: Kabbalah deals with the upper management and helps a person to create such signals to our world that then his life in this world will also start to change.

The method helps us to pass from our world to the next higher state. It depends how we use this method. Someone uses the wisdom of Kabbalah from the top down, and some from the bottom up. But most important is that we direct the connection to the upper management that engages in our world and also the spiritual world.

Question: And who arranges our physical problems?

Answer: We are talking about the overall management system, and if you attain it, you will see how you are surrounded, managed, and with this you will understand how to manage it yourself.

A person begins to understand what the essence of his or her free choice is, and where one is enslaved. He discovers that until this moment, in fact, he had no free choice in life; all his movements were compelled; he was completely programmed.

But now, he can exit from this slavery to freedom, to the extent he begins to recognize, understand, and realize the highest management program. He begins to connect with it to merge, and to enter it as a free element, as a factor in the equation.

And all his problems in material life: the choice of a profession, the country of residence, a life partner, etc. will be resolved by themselves.

A completely different system of values will appear in him that will change his plans.

Question: What is the book Shamati about and how can a person study and understand it?

Answer: It is about spiritual attainment.

Question: Do I have to go to the spiritual level, the level of the upper Providence, to realize the selfish desires of this world? Or can you bypass this step by simply realizing their properties and aiming them toward bestowal?

Answer: You can begin the ascent immediately.

Question: It seems similar to studying in college: five years of study, but when one starts a job they say: “Forget everything you learned and start really learning.” Colleges teach students how to study so that in a real job environment people are prepared to quickly overcome difficulties.

Answer: Well, it seems right, but we’ll see…

Question: Does Kabbalah as a science make precise predictions? For example, Baal HaSulam knew that there would be a world war, so he tried to move the Jews from Poland to Israel, and after that he traveled to Poland to arouse the striking workers to unite. Did he know that his mission was doomed to failure?

Answer: Here there is a slightly different, even slightly unscientific approach from the worldly point of view. This is because a Kabbalist takes into account the effort that he invests.

In principle, in order to achieve something in our world, you must invest a particular amount of effort.

For example, to discover something new in nature, humanity has knocked its head against a wall for centuries by investing a certain amount of effort. We cannot complain, “What did they do this for?! They could have achieved something immediately,” because, after all, we realize that all of these efforts gradually created a certain foundation by which someone made a discovery.

In this manner, the sum of all human effort brings the world to a new breakthrough, a new ascent. The same thing is also true in spiritual work.

Therefore, I cannot say whether Baal HaSulam knew that his efforts would not lead to success. I saw how my teacher Rabash invested effort in spite of everything, which from my point of view were completely illogical. But he still made them because a person doesn’t need to rely on his mind only. He has to go, as it were, to the next level.

Question: Does this mean that he saw what is waiting for us around the corner?

Answer: No, he didn’t see it! But even if he had seen it, this would not have cancelled his efforts, and even though, from our point of view with our usual approach and logic, it seems that there is no need for this, he knew that in any case it was necessary.

Question: The famous American scientist Feynman talked about quantum physics as a science that no one understands, although many use it correctly. Is the situation similar to the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Does that mean that although your students often complain that they don’t understand TES, they can still use it somehow?

Answer: No, they cannot use this study unless they ascend the spiritual levels and are above the normal comprehension of the corporeal body.

While reading the Talmud Eser Sefirot, my students do not understand what is written there. This is just a study of techniques to develop new senses in people.

When one reads and studies while being willing to comprehend what is written, the internal momentum of the desire to grow develops attributes that have not yet been revealed, and one gradually begins to understand and feel what it is about.

In general, it is similar to the way people advance in this world. When we are born, we don’t understand a thing. We are driven by curiosity, envy, and a sense of competition. This is how we develop without having any idea where we head.

A child automatically repeats what adults say without understanding the meaning of the words and unconsciously copies the movements adults make. So it is with Kabbalah.

Question: In fact, as Professor Feynman says, physicists don’t understand the roots of physical laws but only use them. Can Kabbalists teach physicists physics, the basis on which it stands?

Answer: The simplest things, at the same time the most complex, are at the basis of the whole creation.

I believe that in the future the connection between Kabbalah and all the other sciences, methods, and theories that humanity uses will be established. Kabbalah, as the science of the general perception of the universe, of creation, can be the foundation for all the other sciences based on their existence.

But I cannot say when this will happen, because I don’t know how to get in touch with scientists to determine the general framework between the wisdom of Kabbalah and science. We should try to understand each other.

Question: Is the human mind individual or collective?

Answer: Consciousness is always collective, but the level of awareness of the world’s people depends on how deeply one is included in the general consciousness. All of us are combined in it in a holographic form.

In other words, on one hand, each of us is always a part of the general consciousness. On the other hand, our perception depends on the degree of our participation in it .And it turns out that even though my picture on the one hand, is holographic  (the so-called “ten Sefirot”), but on the other hand, the ten Sefirot manifest themselves on an individual scale.

When it comes to the perception of the higher level, even though one is already connected with the universe, one’s personal, individual level still depends on one’s discrete participation in the general hologram.

The general picture exists from the very beginning. One penetrates inside its vibrations, and to the degree of one’s connection with the other souls that also perceive the same picture, we find ourselves in the bigger and more genuine world.

However, it can be felt only inside us. We never go beyond the limits of the ten Sefirot.

Comment: There is nothing except the Creator and me?

Answer: There is no Creator. He is in me. As a result, there is nothing but me.

Question: Our world is quantum. Is quantization an inherent feature of the spiritual world?

Answer: The spiritual world is totally quantum; everything is divided into five levels: zero, one, two, three, four. The count begins from zero, not from one.

All 125 levels are precisely graduated into ten parts, and each one into ten parts, these are divided into another ten and so on. Absolutely, quantization is a characteristic of the upper world.

The difference between all the parts is only that the quantities become qualities, no more than this. If I carry out ten transformations on myself, then I move to the next level and carry out the next ten transformations there, and so on.

At the foundation of everything lies a micro-particle of desire (energy) and against it a micro-particle of Light. That is, everything is composed of two elements that are opposites, complementing and mutually balancing each other. There is nothing more than this, a small quantum of desire with a small quantum of Light.

Comment: This is very similar to the situation of the elementary particles of the material world. For many scientists, the big secret is why only two large families of particles like these exist.

One family is called Fermions, to which the electrons and quarks belong; they are the egoistic particles from which we are composed. They are egoistic in the sense of their collective behavior; each of them grasps its particular position and nothing can enter there.

But there are also other particles called Bosons; for example, particles of light, photons, which connect the Fermions into a single whole. That is, the atoms or molecules we are composed of don’t break apart because they are altruistic particles.

And nobody understands why only two families exist, because from the point of view of physics and mathematics, there could also be other particles, which could behave differently. But in nature there are specifically these two types: one completely egoistic and the other completely altruistic. It is amazing!

Answer: From the wisdom of Kabbalah, I don’t see how there could be anything else. Certainly there are temporary states, but they are the result of the two main forces: Ohr Hassadim in contrast to the Ohr Hochma.

I think that ultimately we could find some kind of bridge between the wisdom of Kabbalah and the rest of the sciences, and possibilities will appear for discovering a completely different world. But this is possible only after a person understands that everything that he perceives today requires the expansion of his consciousness.

Question: Abraham defined our reality as a combination of three factors: world, year, and soul, which in contemporary language means “space, time, and consciousness.” Is consciousness the same as the soul?

Answer: World, year, and soul (Olam, Shana, and Nefesh) are the three parameters in which humans exist. We cannot imagine ourselves without any of them.

The world is everything we perceive around us; that’s why it constantly changes. Because the world is changing, we feel the dynamics of its changes as “year” (time). The organ we perceive the world with is the soul.

However, all of this is subjective. In knowledge there is nothing objective, so science is completely subjective. If someone declares that something exists, nobody can argue with it. Anyone is allowed to act as they wish to the degree of their beliefs. It applies solely to the process of cognition of an earthly, corporeal person within the boundaries, properties, and tools that one has.

Comment: Abraham knew about the connection between space, time, and consciousness. Today, quantum physicists just started approaching this. In other words, Abraham knew things that humanity discovered only through the millennia.

Answer: Since the time of Abraham until today, humanity continued widening its five egoistic sensors. Since then, neither the world nor the time has changed.

Now we are on the verge of transitioning to the next level so material science has come to its final stage.

Kabbalists relates to these issues totally differently. They developed their super-cognition in order to change their perception of reality and attain the level at which they could rise above themselves.

”Rising above oneself” means going beyond one’s nature and egoism. It can be done by relocating, exiting oneself and merging with the others.

Kabbalah teaches us how to develop qualities that are beyond our animal body. If we succeed, our perception of reality will be totally different and won’t be subject to material laws.

Then we will form a different approach to the perception and study of the universe built on our ability to go outside ourselves and continue rising. That’s why “the world, year, and soul” will be replaced for us by three other components that belong to a different, higher level.

Soul and mind are equivalent. Soul is the inner perceiving part of a human being, one’s “I.” It allows us to control, differentiate between, and operate what we perceive. This is very important.

I think we get closer to this level. The fact is that there is a connection between this earthly level of cognition and the one that is higher than our material plane. It is called the link between the root and the branch. Therefore, we are able to draw parallels between all that we perceive at our level and the next, upper level and vice versa.

All the advanced science of the 20^th century didn’t find a complete logical explanation of many phenomena, leaving them unsolved and unclear.  We will find the answers to all these questions only transitioning to the next, higher level.

I don’t know how it is possible to connect time, space, and perception on our material plane. These three notions are not compatible. Their mutual dependence remains unclear to us.

From the point of view of Kabbalah, consciousness in our world is all possible sensations in our egoistic desire. They are closed within us, so the whole world is inside our egoistic perception.

Comment: That is the conclusion drawn by physicists experimenting with the double slit. They actually understood that it is the observer’s cognition that defines the result of any experiment.

Answer: Physics, psychiatry, psychology, and every other material science will eventually agree that the world exists only in our mind, and only there do we exist.

But then we will need to take the next step: to expand human consciousness and manage it. This will give us the ability to control the universe, because all of it is in our minds.

Wisdom Of Kabbalah As A Tool To Comprehend The Universe

The wisdom of Kabbalah was first discovered 5,776 years ago by a man named Adam, who described what he discovered in his book The Angel Raziel. Since then, there have been many generations of Kabbalists and everything they did until our very days is incorporated into one system.

The Kabbalists were a different sort of person and each of them engaged in this wisdom in his own special way: some engaged in a certain special way of attaining the wisdom of Kabbalah, others wrote it on certain levels, and others’ goal was to attract as many people as possible to the revelation of this system of Providence. These Kabbalists are particularly important and dear to us, because with their help, we can achieve what are beginning to strive for.

Throughout human history most Kabbalists wrote on a level that today we find difficult to understand, but the greatest Kabbalist who lived in the 16^th century the Ari really managed to summarize and present this wisdom.

He brought a great treasure of knowledge to the system and we have received a ready-made matrix from him, which the whole wisdom of Kabbalah is based on. Many before him had tried to do that but did not succeed.

This is the reason that there isn’t anyone closer in spirit to us than the Ari and everything he did is most important to us. He died at a very young age of 38 and left his legacy for all of us.

400 years after the Ari, at the beginning of the 20^th century another great Kabbalist named Baal HaSulam appeared. None of the Kabbalists who lived before him managed to convey the Ari’s method and teachings in a more popular and accessible manner as Baal HaSulam Ari did. This is the reason that we use the writings of Baal HaSulam, which were written in relatively simple modern language. His writings are the mainstay of our studies.

In addition, his eldest son Rabash, my teacher, completed his father’s writings adding the principles of our internal work. Baal HaSulam wrote mainly about the system of the upper world and its internal psychology. And my teacher explained in his articles how we can practically begin to feel the upper world, what we should do to actually feel it and to absorb it into us, and how to create new senses and thus advance.

If we didn’t have Rabash’s writings, we could read the writings of Baal HaSulam and enjoy the logic of his simple beautiful and harmonious description of the upper world and the effect of this system on us, but we would not know how to attain it. All this is explained in the writings of my teacher.

Kabbalists describe the upper world and our world, which is the lowest and smallest level that is detached from the spiritual world, which work in perfect harmony.

The only resemblance to this system in our world is the perfectly corrected human body, in which the heart and mind and all the systems like the circulatory, nervous, lymphatic, and other systems operate in harmony, in unison.

They support each other, nothing is superfluous, and only the correct mutual functioning creates the opportunity to experience the entire system and study it.

Question: You often answer that is it is impossible to explain something in a couple of words, and you invite people to come and learn. What does a person get from studying Kabbalah?

Answer: If Kabbalah is a science, then of course you must study it. My first profession is bio-cybernetics. It is a specialized science that developed from the combination of cybernetics, the science of system management, and biology.

This means that bio-cybernetics explores living biological systems. I studied how the systems in the human body function, not from the medical perspective, but from a mathematical, physical, and chemical perspective, and how robotization can be used in these systems.

This is how I started fifty years ago. This system scrutiny fascinated me. If I have a system, drawings and tables, I feel that I own the material.

Bio-cybernetics helped me ask the question, “What is the meaning of our life and why do we live?” and led me to the wisdom of Kabbalah.

I wanted to find where the system that manages human life is. I had to see its drawings, tables and formulas. Even back then, I already realized that nothing in nature is coincidental. Only a child who thinks that the glass he has broken fell to the floor by itself can claim that.

An adult, on the other hand, understands that we have no control over our lives and that we cannot change our fate. Life goes on according to a certain accurate flow that has been determined from beginning to end. I wanted to know who manages all of that, whether it is possible to intervene in this process, and how is it possible to affect it, or whether all that we can do is flow submissively and obediently with the current.

It is with this question that I came to the wisdom of Kabbalah where I suddenly discovered the study of the ten Sefirot, 125 spiritual levels, different spiritual objects called Partzufim, the levels of the depth of desire, forces that enter and exit it, and lots of drawings.

I was amazed when I encountered a most sublime science that was discovered almost 6,000 years ago and provides the most accurate explanations about the upper providence that operates us.

If I am managed from above, I want to know how it is done, and most of all, how I can be part of this providence. I cannot stand the fact that someone manipulates me and especially not when I don’t even feel or see who it is.

So I engaged in this study very seriously. In 1984, I wrote my first three books about the wisdom of Kabbalah in order to share and disseminate this knowledge a little, the knowledge that allows us to understand how nature manages us.

The upper force is nature, and there are rigid, accurate laws operating in it. Nonetheless, the wisdom of Kabbalah allows us to influence this formula of life to some extent and thus change our fate.

There are people who are interested only in how they can improve and upgrade their life and the lives of their relatives by using the wisdom of Kabbalah. Others want to improve life on a larger scale, like their country or the world, or even influence what happens between our earthly reincarnations.

We can find out where we came from and why we were born with a certain fate, with such a special soul, why we meet certain people in our lives or why we got married; we can understand all the connections between people and their mutual influences. It is all quite easy to understand once you learn the mechanism of the system.
