We are in a special time now called Bein Hameitzarim, the three weeks from the 19^th of Tamuz until the ninth of Av. This period is known throughout history as difficult times for the nation of Israel, but let’s hope that, this year, we will be able finally to correct it so that this period no longer will bring about different disasters as in the past.

Question: How can unfortunate events be related to a certain time?

Answer: Everything that happens in our world stems from the hidden of forces of nature that we don’t feel. We only feel the outcome of their actions, but we actually don’t reveal these forces.

If we speak about electricity, for example, it means that we see how different electrical appliances work or someone gets an electrical shock. Thus, we find that the network has power.

This is also how we discover the force of gravity, according to the outcome of its actions. If an apple falls on my head, I can say that there is a special force that is called the force of gravity.

We never discover the actual forces. There is an entire network of forces around us, starting from subatomic forces inside tiny atoms and molecules and ending with cosmic forces that operate between the stars and the planets in the universe. Everything that we see is a result of the actions of different forces. Every force can be discovered only according to the outcome of its influence on matter. Why does the earth revolve? It means that there is a force that revolves it. All of the planets revolve as a result of a network of forces that set these cosmic objects in motion.

However, we need the wisdom of Kabbalah in order to discover the actual forces because it tells us about the forces that are behind matter, including the forces that are behind man, forces that manage the calendar. We can see all of the forces behind each day and behind each revolution of the earth on its axis and every revolution it makes around the sun. Humanity has accumulated data from different experiments and has made tables as in any scientific field, according to which this period is considered especially unfortunate.

However, the wisdom of Kabbalah is called the wisdom of truth because it tells us the reason for everything that happens. It tells us why the calendar is arranged this way, why the earth revolves around the sun, and why man was created this way and how he is related to others.

If we discover a certain phenomenon, we investigate it through ordinary scientific tools. The wisdom of Kabbalah, on the other hand, tells us about hidden phenomena and forces, and therefore is called the concealed wisdom, the secret wisdom, since it tells us the secrets of creation.

Question: Why is Tisha B’Av (the 9^th of Av) considered to be the worst day of the year?

Answer: We are under the management of a system of forces that operates on us and influences us—sometimes in a good and comfortable way, and sometimes in a bad and unpleasant way—to awaken us and make it possible for us to integrate these forces correctly and reach the middle line.

If we balance these forces, we reach a state of absolute good. This is possible! The entire year will be a comfortable temperature of 25 degrees, and everything in life will be good, regarding any topic. The person is ready to balance all of the forces of nature in that he brings everything to balance.

On Tisha B’Av, the forces of judgment act with particularly strong intensity. However, essentially, they are not negative, but aspire to awaken us to reach balance, balancing all of nature.

Question: Are these forces stronger than a person?

Answer: Certainly, these forces are stronger than a person. They force him to carry out what is required of him. The forces of nature work on us and influence us to begin to change. We see what a mess is happening in the world. The world is withdrawing and gradually slipping lower and lower, but this awakens us to action.

Specifically now, there are opportunities to reveal the wisdom of Kabbalah to everyone and show that it makes it possible to arrange our lives, because everything is in our hands. Let’s calm down, look at things rationally, and all of us together will decide how it is up to us to bring our lives into balance.

The forces of judgment only seem to us as bad temporarily, depending on how we are feeling, but essentially there is nothing better than them after all they push us toward correction.

It is possible to reach balance only with the help of the wisdom of Kabbalah. We don’t have the power for it ourselves. We must get an additional, unique power from above, above our nature, the power of bestowal, love and union. This power can balance the positive and negative forces, the plus and the minus.

All technological advancement is built on this. Every engine works because we know how to connect plus and minus correctly so that the positive and negative forces will activate it and require it to do useful work for us.

We exist in nature in which positive and negative forces are operating. However, the entire problem is that, in the middle, we don’t know how to use the plus and minus correctly and transform it into a mechanism that acts on the difference between the potentials in the best way for our benefit.

This is specifically what the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us: how to use the two opposing forces that exist in nature correctly.

These forces are called the evil inclination and the good inclination, hatred and love. It is not necessary to annihilate anything! If we integrate these two forces correctly and use them correctly, we will get wonderful results.

However, a unique wisdom is required for this, because in normal life we don’t know how to balance plus and minus. We either love or hate, whereas we need to integrate both this and that by using the internal forces of a person, our attitudes, to rise above these two forces, above love and hatred. Then we can manage them and balance all of our lives through them.

Imagine that we do something like this in a family, with the children, at work, with friends, even just in the framework of our small physical world—how much happier would we become. Love and hatred must exist together and balance each other.

There is nothing superfluous in the world. Rather, it is only necessary to balance these forces. This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us.

Opinion (Jim Elvidge): “The present hypothesis about the structure of the universe says that our entire world is no more than a matrix, a virtual reality, created by an unknown form of intelligence. The universe is a computer program that works on the basis of a digital code.

“Matter is an objective reality that is given to us through our senses. It is clear that through contact with a variety of objects we define them according to our senses at that moment.

“However in fact, most objects are no more than empty space. So an image is only a conditional reality, a matrix that exists only in our consciousness.

“Behind everything that is found in our environment is concealed a particular code that resembles the binary code of a computer program. Perhaps it will become clear that our brain is simply an interface through which we have access to the ‘universal internet.’

“Every object and event is based on an intangible source. What we call ‘reality’ is formed from questions that invite ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answers, and from the answers themselves. All physical bodies are in fact theoretical information, and the universe requires our participation.

“Thanks to the binary code we can make a choice between two versions of a digital reality, of the matrix – managed by means of consciousness. The universe is revealed as a partnership of something higher with us.

“The universe has a virtual nature; its particles of matter exist in an unclear and unstable form, and their form is determined in a particular situation only in the eyes of the viewer.

“The things that surround us are the digital reality, the matrix. Yet, for example, a pen becomes a pen when you look at it, and together with this, we are ready to identify the object as a pen only according to external signs.

“The function of our brain is to process the information that is later stored in it. So we can also access data stored outside of our brain.

“If our consciousness is a simulation, then death is only a pause in the simulation, and consciousness passes to another simulator. This is the phenomenon of the reincarnation of souls.”

My Comment: In this way, scientific evidence and speculation are gradually bringing humanity closer to the wisdom of Kabbalah.

We are discovering the universal law of nature, Einstein’s dream, who dreamt of connecting mass, energy, and the speed of light into a single formula. That is how we connect desire, Light, and the screen, which balances between desire and Light.

This means that a Kabbalist is a true naturalist who discovers that he is found in an interesting place, which is his world, and simultaneously it is also someone’s home.

By investigating this home, by discovering its laws on the level of the still, vegetative, and animate, he begins to perceive a higher characteristic that hovers in this home, someone who is real, a thought, a deficiency, a desire, and gradually he understands that through investing some effort in his human nature, he can discover the “master of the house” through it, through himself and not through the lifeless laws of the sciences of this world (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.).

So the wisdom of Kabbalah is a science, and a Kabbalist is a scientist. He investigates nature, but on a higher level than humanity has as has been given to man. He investigates nature not on the level of the still, like physics, not on the level of the vegetative and animate like biology and zoology, but on the supra-human level, beyond the entire nature of our world, above egoism.

Question: Which practical results does the wisdom of Kabbalah bring to us?

Answer: We are surprised, why in the world does everything “somehow happen not the way we would want”; we don’t understand why our actions constantly cause negative results and reactions.

The wisdom of Kabbalah explains that the reason for all of our failures is that we don’t take the conditions into account, that all of our actions pass through a “block” that is called the “goal of creation.”

Through our actions, or more correctly through our intentions, we send signals to it. And to the same degree that these signals are compatible with the program of creation, they influence us with positive actions. And to the degree of the incompatibility with the goal of creation, they influence us with negative actions (an opposite negative correlation).

As long as we have not absorbed and understood this system of the management of creation, bringing creation to a goal, we receive unexpected and unpleasant events without understanding that this is a reaction to our activities.

The wisdom of Kabbalah reveals the organ that manages this to us, and we learn through working with it, correcting our actions according to its program, and eliminating any unpleasant surprises.

Question: I still don’t understand why the wisdom of Kabbalah is so important to you.

Answer: If we exist in the closed system of nature, our desires and our thoughts are also part of this system and they influence it. And their influence can be much more important than our physical actions.

Just our physical actions are visible to everyone and so we give them importance because we see their outcomes and can scrutinize and examine them. But the mental and emotional effects we can’t scrutinize and examine. However, our internal influence is studied and used in labs and by intelligence services all over the world.

If all of our thoughts and desires stem from the mind and the heart that are connected directly to the general system of nature, then:

• What arises in us naturally that is beyond our control can be omitted from our study since it is information about thoughts and feelings that flow through us.
• Information that we cannot perceive is nothing but control signals that we must know and learn to manage correctly. Thus, we introduce our corrections in nature because otherwise we unconsciously harm the whole system and ourselves by our uncorrected thoughts and feelings.

This is the reason that this information is the most important study for mankind, but we must control and acquire it and teach it to every child and grownup.

Opinion (Dr. A. Dmitriev): “New and rapid reformations of the biosphere and the climate mechanism are happening on the background of physical and geophysical changes on our Earth and major transformational changes in the state of the solar system in general.

• “The polarity of the geomagnetic field is changing. The North Pole is switching with the South Pole and vice versa.
• We are left without protection against the rapid processes of the climate mechanism.
• Natural disasters are happening; this is a reorganization of our climate and biosphere. On the other side of these disasters, a new reality is found.
• The behavior and state of human beings are absolutely connected with the behavior and state of the environment that surrounds us, nature.
• More and more, and in particular beyond the active destruction and rifts, ‘atmospheric rifts’ are observed, the Northern Lights above Alta are signs of a new reality.
• The physical and chemical qualities of the atmosphere are changing.
• Evolution is now found to be accelerating. The acceleration is 20 times faster. A new homeostasis is created. Plants and animals accept the new model of the climate that is being built according to a systematic cosmic solar program. But we are living according to old norms.
• There are no disasters in nature. Rapid processes are happening in the conversion of energy in the biosphere to a new phase. The disaster is with human beings. Humans are found to be lagging behind greatly in the evolution of nature.
• There is no knowledge or understanding on the human side, an understanding that the universe is conscious and the Earth is a living organism.
• The main processes of the solar system are measured and calculated. At their foundation is found the conscious working of the universe, the passage of the solar system, including humans, to the next level of evolution.

“But due to the fact that humans have the gift of freedom of choice, it is impossible to drag them anywhere forcefully, not to the Garden of Eden and not to Hell. They choose their way themselves. People are themselves the creators of both their own happiness and their unhappiness.”

My Comment: Lately scientists are thinking the way that the Kabbalists have thought throughout the generations. Discovery of this picture of nature is leading them to the right conclusions. The problem of science is that nobody listens to it, just as they don’t listen to the wisdom of Kabbalah. Egoism shuts their eyes. Kabbalists experience this much more deeply than scientists because they have the wisdom of Kabbalah in their hands, an effective means for realizing freedom of choice and the mission of man in nature correctly.

It is possible to say that all of the threatening processes are happening only so that humanity will be involved with them and in this way they will elevate themselves to the next level of evolution, to the spiritual level, and will stop feeling this world as a reality, but as data given to us within our transient feelings.

Question: I have noticed a slight tendency in your lessons and your public appearances. I watched the video of the 2002-2004 courses on the site again, where you teach the wisdom of Kabbalah in a scientific manner, using graphs, drawings, and spiritual terminology and explanations.

The virtual course during the years 2002-2004 is very difficult for beginners because you started using very complex terms right from the first lessons. You actually said that is it okay not to understand and that the main thing is that one listens and the Upper Light that descends on us will reveal everything. In the last couple of years, however, in the course “Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah” during the years 2012-2013, for example, you place greater emphasis on the relationship between people, and the attitude towards the world, on psychology, connection, and unity. But is it possible to draw the Upper Light and discover the spiritual eternity just by improving our relations with the world and with other people?

Answer: You should read a few articles by Baal HaSulam in order to discover that the main issue of the wisdom of Kabbalah is actually cultivating your love towards all the parts of the creation.

But because those who come to study the wisdom of Kabbalah are egoists, just like all the other people, the study doesn’t begin directly with studying about the attainment of love of all the other created beings, but with Baal HaSulam’s article “Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah.” It is only afterward that the explanation about the concrete fulfillment of the wisdom of Kabbalah in revealing the Creator inside a person begins (according to His figure and image, according to the law of equivalence of form).

Question: Lately, you especially have been raising the topic of love of our neighbors and then love of the Creator. When I hear that I immediately want to completely detach from you even though I have been your permanent student for several years now. It’s not that I am indifferent to this topic; I feel hostile to the subject.

Answer: You thought that Kabbalah was a serious science with drawings and formulas. As I keep explaining it for many years, it is a science of the universe, the wisdom of how to correct the evil. However, you never assumed that this knowledge could also be defined as love, i.e., complete connection among all parts of nature, especially humans.

I completely understand you because I had similar thoughts for many years even when I became Rabash’s student.

Moreover, it is impossible to hear about the “methodology of love” because our egoism rejects it. We are incapable of perceiving this doctrine in our hearts or minds. We tend to listen to different aspects of Kabbalah as if the need to love our neighbors is something alien, secondary to the wisdom.

I observe this phenomenon among my students throughout all the years that I have been teaching Kabbalah.

Interestingly, there are two groups of students: those who accept the principle of “loving thy neighbor” and those who consider this condition as something “extra” that can be only used to connect members of their study group. Later, both categories of students mix together and get closer to each other. Gradually, the groups that originally rejected the principle of “loving thy neighbor” realize that it is not a “subsidiary factor” when it comes to correction of our egoism, but it is the most important and desirable quality! It happens in the group that originally rejected the principle of loving thy neighbor to a much greater extent than in the groups that initially agreed with this notion.

Based on my observations, I would split my students into two categories: those who accept the notion of loving thy neighbor and those who are incapable of hearing about it.  Both groups study the methodology together and comprise a common vessel. They complement and replenish each other, thus making it possible to disseminate the wisdom of Kabbalah as the teaching of love and a transition from love to other people to loving the Creator.

In the news (netcom.md): “Our consciousness is the way by which we perceive our reality, our thoughts, the essences of information and our intentions. But the search for our consciousness in the brain is like searching for the announcer on a radio.

“Our consciousness is the basis, and matter is a derivation of our consciousness. We cannot transcend the limits of our consciousness. The claim that consciousness creates reality may refer to the fact that we can form and create any reality that we wish. How do we do that?

“Modern physics recognizes the fact that the spectator creates reality. As spectators we personally participate in the creation of our own reality.  We are forced to admit that the universe is a material structure. Knowledge directs us to a reality that is not mechanical and the inverse begins to seem like a giant thought, not like a huge machine.

“The mind no longer appears as an “accidental intruder” in matter. We should welcome it as the creator and dominator of the kingdom of matter. We have to accept the unequivocal conclusion: the universe isn’t material but mental and spiritual.”

My Comment: These findings come from researchers of nature. Today they don’t fear moving from the study of matter to the study of forces: of desire, thoughts, and intention.

Matter exists only in our subjective consciousness. Then they will acknowledge that everything that exists (forces) is only perceived by our subjective feelings, and then according to Talmud Eser Sefirot, Vol.1, “Histaklut Pnimit.”
