Question: In his articles, Rabash refers to Rambam, then to his father and teacher, Baal HaSulam. Why doesn’t he speak for himself? It’s as if he relies on someone else. Has he not attained these degrees?

Answer: He cites the arguments and reasons of the great Kabbalists, on whom he can rely, and so can we.

Comment: But he went through these states anyway.

My Response: It is in your eyes that he has gone through everything, but not in his. For him, in any case, there is a difference between, say, Rambam and himself. These are different degrees of attainment.

Question: So should we study what the Rambam tells us?

Answer: In principle, what we read from Rabash’s writings is enough for us.

Question: To what extent does how deeply we can understand the teacher and accept his methodology depend on us?

Answer: You need to accept that the implementation of the methodology you are studying depends on you and only on you.

Therefore, as long as you get closer to each other and unite more strongly with each other, you will be able to rise above the conditions that are set for you in order to achieve the goal of creation.

We are not that far from it. We just need to put our hearts and minds in order. We do not have much work left after what the previous great generations have already done.

In order to organize the heart and mind, we must overcome the little natural rejection that still remains in us and ensure that our hearts connect. Then the upper light will enter into them, and from this feeling we will attain everything.

Question: What is special about Baal HaSulam’s method?

Answer: This is a practical method that he developed for our generation and described in all his works. Therefore, we study his writings and strive to become similar to the image he described.

The main principle of this method is connection between people, such closeness between them that each person feels the other as himself. Through this connection, they can rise to the attainment of the Creator.

Question: Generally a person can see that something influences him, but does not understand how it influences him. He is unable to predict what will happen to him in a minute, two minutes, or three minutes.

What should his correct attitude be to these concealed factors so he can advance according to the path destined for him?

Answer: A person should understand that he is moving instinctively according to nature’s impulses.

There is nothing else he can offer himself. This is the sober approach. It is impossible to say that it is better or worse; it is merely what we have.

Question: How can we increase the efficiency of this path? It may be impossible and it should be enough to approach life soberly.

Answer: I cannot imagine how we can determine the efficiency factor of our development. Today, it practically leads us to mutual destruction. Therefore the efficiency factor here is negative.

Question: If we take a group of people united around some principle, idea, or similarity, can this group have its own attitude to the concealed factors in development? Is it possible to talk about a group of people as an individual who develops, makes decisions, and perceives something?

Answer: If we take a group of scientists who are interconnected and set certain tasks in front of them, then we can certainly look at them as one person who is aspiring to achieve something.

However, if we are talking about humanity, it has not entered that level when it has a clearly defined task that all people would want to solve, regardless of their social organization.

Question: In the exact sciences, there is such a thing as an unsolvable problem when scientists prove that something cannot be solved. For example in astronomy, there is a three-body problem that cannot be solved in general, only regarding specific cases. Or the task of stopping a problem where it is proven that cannot be solved algorithmically.

Is this right or wrong? Are there problems that cannot be solved at any level? Or are these all specific cases?

Answer: I would say, these are tasks that a person sets for himself, based on the limitations of his knowledge and conclusions. Therefore, we cannot say that nature is, in principle, unknowable. We can only say that we cannot yet know it.

But we do not say that this is completely closed to people. After all, in the past, people thought this way about some objects and the boundaries of knowledge, and then this began to be revealed more and more at the macro and micro levels. We have a little data at our disposal to assert there is a clear limit to our knowledge.

Question: Will a person always strive for knowledge, or can this desire disappear in him?

Answer: I think he always will. There will be ups, downs, and all kinds of periods in development, as the history of mankind proves. But, in general, the process of cognition is a process of filling oneself, and it is limitless.

Question: In the last decade, a branch was created in the theoretical exact sciences called the science of dark data.

It explores what the scientific approach should be to data sets that we are unable to comprehend but know that they exist and somehow, not very clearly how, affect us.

Here arises the following question. Throughout its development, humanity has not been able to precisely determine the boundary of what it can know up to a certain limit and what it cannot. It seems to move with blindfolded eyes. Why is it half-erased in human perception?

Answer: The reason is that we truly do not know ourselves and to the same extent we do not know the space, the volume, of information in which we exist. Therefore, only all kinds of speculation can take place here, and this is no longer science.

We just need to keep going with the same small steps that we are taking, and the future will gradually unfold more, and more, and more to us. Every day we still learn something new. So, although I am talking about the unknowable, I assume that this unknowable is knowable.

Question: Is cognition a sensation or some other sensation?

Answer: Cognition is the sensation of merging our inner world with something external, i.e., the connection of two planes, two perceptions.

Question: Is ideal cognition the inclusion of all reality in oneself or oneself in all reality?

Answer: But we have not realized this yet, so we are only talking about it theoretically.

Question: In our group, everyone is very involved in the study of Pticha (Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah). But I personally do not feel it because this is the study of mechanics; I want some feelings and strengthening of the connection. If I have an aversion to Pticha, is it a state of descent or is it just not suitable for me?

Answer: Slowly return to Pticha and you will see that one day it will capture you and begin to reveal to you such things that you would like to listen to.

The fact that it is repelling you now does not matter. Try to experience the feelings behind these mechanics, and then it will capture you.

Question: There are many types of people according to their development. Some people do not feel the hidden volume of data, i.e., hidden factors affecting them.

But many people, scientists in particular, are haunted by this. They make this the goal of their life. That is, a person feels a reality is concealed from him and suffers from it. What meaning does nature put into this?

Answer: This is the fate of humanity, which must feel its inferiority in knowledge. Thanks to this feeling, he moves forward. But will we understand all of nature, and will it be revealed to us or within us—the question remains open with no answer. Of course, we try to enter this uncertainty, to understand it, develop ourselves, and feel there is no question about this. But the fact is that as we accumulate knowledge, especially lately, we get used to the fact that not everything is given to us, we cannot learn everything, and we will not reach a large amount of knowledge. The Universe is open to us in ever greater unknowability.

Comment: This is interesting. Humanity believes we are moving from ignorance to knowledge, and now, you are saying the opposite.

My Response: Yes. As humanity develops, it begins to understand its limitations in knowledge and sensation.

We have gathered here to establish a society for all who wish to follow the path and method of Baal HaSulam, the way by which to climb the degrees of man and not remain as a beast (Rabash “Purpose of Society – 1”).

The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches a person to rise from our world to the spiritual world. That is a very high, unusual goal. Few people know about it, and even fewer people practice Kabbalah.

But we are studying and trying to implement this method to reach the goal that Kabbalah sets for a person: to rise from the feeling of our world to the that of the spiritual world and do it now, in this life, in this world, in our state.

Currently, we are in the state of a beast because we are guided only by our instincts, the desires of our body, which, in general, is also complicated, although not spiritual.

According to Kabbalah, to be a human means to be similar to the Creator.

Comment: But everyone imagines the Creator in their own way because He is concealed.

My Response: It is in order to understand what the Creator is and how to become similar to Him that the wisdom of Kabbalah is intended.

Question: What should be the conditions for people to be ready to solve the task of their development? There must be some conditions under which this will happen.

Answer: Since the goal of our development is concealed from us, because no matter how philosophers struggle with it, we cannot clearly define this goal, and everything that we define collides with our internal disagreement with it, it is too early for us to pose such questions. Humanity still needs to develop perhaps for many centuries.

But as we develop naturally, we will gradually come to the point that we will be able to solve global issues more and more. But, again, at what threshold we will begin to master solutions to questions about the meaning of life is not yet even approximately visible. We do not know what the meaning of human existence is.

Question: Does the fact that humanity, as we see it, is moving toward, God forbid, its destruction, delay its movement toward revelation or not?

Answer: No, I believe all this is interconnected: it is impossible to move forward without falling, without looking back, without disappointments. All this is one path. But we are still in the early stages of development.
