Grasp the Feeling of The Creator

527.03In physics, there are phenomena that based on some alternative possibilities and research, we come to the conclusion that something exists, but we cannot determine it even indirectly. We have the same problem with the Creator. People guess and make assumptions about Him, and on these bases philosophies, religions, and what not arise!

What is this force that determines, creates, and brings everything to life? We cannot feel this either in our bodily senses or with artificially created instruments. We cannot! We do not have such a measuring tool or some kind of scanner or X-ray.

Kabbalah directs a person to create a device within oneself that will enable the person to sense the Creator, tune oneself to this phenomenon, this force, this field, and by continuously changing oneself to come closer and closer to it. You need to work tirelessly on yourself and then it will happen.

It is said that after you make certain quantitative and qualitative efforts which are called Igati (came), you will reveal Him, which is called Matsati (found). And that is it!

The only problem is that we do not know exactly what kind of efforts there are. And for that we have been given a group and all the conditions that Kabbalists write about.

In principle, Kabbalah exists only to help a person not be confused, but to apply the right amount of effort in the right place and as efficiently as possible.

And then, when you grasp the tail of the feeling of the Creator, and you already have it, you begin to move forward along it. You grab the end of the rope and climb up. The main task of Kabbalists is to bring us to the first contact in order to grasp the feeling of the Creator.

Therefore, every day you need to change and be afraid that you are losing time. After all, here you are racing against time.

What Is Attainment?

226Question: You said that attainment is the perception of the opposite. Is this the correct definition of attainment?

Answer: Yes, attainment appears only from the perception of the opposite. Otherwise, there would be nothing.

The Creator does not have this. In the absolute, if we can somehow talk about His existence outside of us, everything exists outside the definition of a thing from its absence, some property from its opposite, light-darkness. It exists only in us.

Therefore, we must accumulate many sensations of light-darkness in ourselves and from this create a picture of the world and of ourselves.

Question: What is attainment for all sorts of gurus, for example, Indian yogis?

Answer: This is the psychology of our world. The time will come when people will rise above it.

They will see where the science of attainment called Kabbalah is, and where the beliefs and personal impressions of a person are, which he somehow gained in our world and which are mainly based on rituals: how to dress, dance, sit down, stand up, and so on. All this is connected with his material life, his physical body, some actions, words, and everything else.

But here there is none of that. This means that if an initial desire for spirituality arises in a person, then the method of its development does not at all apply to our world.

Expand Your Organs of Perception

131As a result of the breakage of the common soul, its descent and mixing of all kinds of broken parts even at the spiritual level, all kinds of analyses, clarifications, and scrutinies of these parts take place in us, and therefore a person is often in such states when he does not know what is happening to him; someone seems to be leading him, performing actions for him, he somehow automatically goes through life and suddenly there is some kind of an accident, fate, fatalism.

What to do? Being only in the sensation of our world, we do not understand anything. For this reason, there are some people who feel that they are supposedly messengers of the higher worlds. This is how their egoism sets them up: you are special, from somewhere out there, take care of yourself, you have a purpose, etc.

This has been known for centuries. Where did all the beliefs come from? Some eccentric jumped out of bed early in the morning and ran through the city, shouting that he had an epiphany. And it went on and on for thousands of years.

But all this comes to its logical end. Today we are in a state of clarifying these things.

According to Kabbalah, everything is explained very simply, according to absolute laws, not as mysticism, only higher physics. The difference between Kabbalah and all religions, beliefs, and even sciences is that it is very realistic. It is not limited, not rigid, and not closed, like other sciences, where scientists are blinded in their characteristics.

They do not understand that they are limited in their perception of the world by their qualities, and they believe that what they see exists. If they had expanded their senses and their organs of perception, they would have seen more. They do not have a mechanism for expanding the boundaries of their perception. This is the limitation of the sciences, their dead end.

Kabbalah is good because it says: “Indeed, we have only what we see, what we can clearly explore, with repetition, with experience, with many people, and so on, but within the limits of those boundaries that give us existing knowledge.

However, these limits can be expanded. Let us say you have such a framework, you see the world through some diopters, another through others, and a third through the third ones. Let us describe the world through all these diopters and see how we can change our vision, that is, our perception, and whether we can expand it. If we can, that is great.”

In such a way we get 125 degrees of attaining the universe, the world. Moreover, not only attainment of its image, but also in-depth opening, i.e., qualitative attainment.

We do not just expand the world by zooming in on stars with a telescope or magnifying microorganisms through microscopes. We change ourselves! You begin to see the world qualitatively, deep into the n-dimensional space.

Then you see its governance, internal connections, meaning, and everything else. But again, it is realistic, scientific, and is confirmed by those who are engaged in expanding their perception.

The Main Idea of Kabbalah

294.3Kabbalah reveals to us that “there is none else besides Him.” The Creator is behind everything that happens around us. The main thing is not to be distracted from the thought that all this is Him, to look for Him in all the images around you and inside you.

Apart from the thought that “there is no one else besides Him,” everything else is controlled by Him. This thought is also given by Him! But you must grasp it and begin to cultivate a free, separate, opposite state in yourself from it, and to become similar to Him, a person, Adam.

Question: How can you not become religious when you start talking like many do?

Answer: No, these are all words; they have no meaning. The meaning of the words is completely different.

In religions, everything comes down to physical actions. They do not have an internal apparatus. Their internal actions are in the form of repentance and so on. Kabbalah, however, is directed in the opposite direction from religion, toward the revelation of the Creator.

Religion exists due to the concealment of the Creator and is in no way interested in revealing Him. Therefore, it says: “Be a simple kind of man, obey, and that is it.” But Kabbalah is interested in developing a person.

Great Opportunities

226We need to quickly reshape a person’s view of the world, and educate and raise them.

Religions, on the contrary, make people closed, fanatical, and encourage not taking anything into account: “Follow all these traditions and the future world is guaranteed to you, but on this earthly level, let be whatever will be.”

But there is no future world! The animal body dies, nothing remains of it. And a person does not have a soul if he or she has not yet attained the Creator’s properties—bestowal and love. This is the property in a human that is called the soul.

People do not understand those great opportunities when one can really become a person of eternity. Otherwise, it does not work.

Either you just live in a protein body that dies, decomposes into its original elements, and that’s it. Or while in the physical body, one acquires something new—spiritual existence, which you develop, pass into, and live in. And even when your body is dying, you do not think about it; it is as if you simply cut your hair or nails because they are of a lower level, vegetative or animate, compared to you—a person.

You are already at the next level, in the next dimension. This is the opportunity that everyone has! Why should we look under our feet when we can look at the sky? People do not understand it.

They are not afraid of wars, destruction, or suffering. They somehow support each other and forget: “Come what may. Another day has passed and it is good.”

Moreover, they pass it off as maturity, as a realistic approach to life, as strength, and pride, and they arrange all kinds of competitions of who is stronger, like wild animals in a fight for a female. But when it comes to animals, it is an instinct both to preserve and to pass on the correct genotype from generation to generation. There it makes sense! And here, for what?

Question: Why does the Creator arrange such cloudy minds for people?

Answer: It is a transition from one state to another. Birth always occurs with the fetus inverting: its head was up, it must turn down, and again, when born turn up.

Birth is such a turning point, a bifurcation, that changes everything. And when you approach it, you become insane because you must move away from your past state and come to the future. This transition is very dusky and very problematic. This is the problem of the birth of a new humanity.

Manifestation of One Force

568.01Question: In modern physics, there are three main types of matter: matter, field, and dark matter. What kinds of desires and how many of them are there in the spiritual?

Answer: There is the desire to receive. This is what we reveal in ourselves, and other things are not attainable to us.

Question: Is it probably also divided into some hundreds and thousands?

Answer: But it is still a desire to receive.

Comment: Let’s say in our world we see that there is a substance and there is a field— two different types of matter.

My Response: This is a manifestation of the same force, just on different levels. And it is the same way in the spiritual.

Question: From the point of view of Kabbalah, what is primary: matter or consciousness?

Answer: Of course, consciousness; only question is: of what? The realization of matter itself is primary, otherwise we cannot say that something exists. This can be said only to the extent of self-attainment.

The Illusion of Reality

537Question: In a dream we see different images, we experience all kinds of situations. When we wake up, we realize that all that was not real and what we saw in our dream simply does not exist. And the next day you forget it altogether.

Kabbalah says that our world is an illusion. Does this mean that when a person, upon entering spirituality, awakens from earthly hibernation and the illusion disappears?

Answer: No. The fact is that this illusion will not disappear until the whole world is completely corrected. And even if a person’s bodily contact with the world disappear, his presence in this world does not disappear anyway. That is, roughly speaking, the dead are together with us.

After all, all this is a desire that is depicted in front of us. It may take on special forms, but in itself, it is eternal.

The light created a desire that should take a form similar to the light and move from the quality of reception to the quality of bestowal. This is the entire path. But the desire itself exists parallel to the light; they are, so to speak, equivalent.

Only According to the Desire

945Comment: You say that the information of the light is in a different dimension. You, in principle, operate with the information of the light and the information that is understandable to students. But through this information, you still transmit a layer that a person perhaps does not even understand.

My Response: This happens to the extent that the student is annulled toward me. This does not mean that he becomes my slave, serves me, gives me gifts, etc. I push such people away and do not allow them to do anything like that.

But if a person internally agrees, and wants to absorb this technique, accept this idea, these changes, and this transformation so that all this manifests itself in him, then he receives through me. It depends only on him.

It is not up to me. It is the same as parents with young children, what can they do if the child does not want to?

The Essence of Spiritual Desire

610.1Comment: We say that the entire universe consists of matter. But you claim that matter is desire. Physicists, however, say that matter consists of atoms and molecules.

My Response: It comes from the way we perceive this matter. This is how it is manifested in relation to us.

Question: Then what does spiritual desire consist of?

Answer: The desire consists of ten Sefirot, which are divided into another ten, and another ten, and so on. By studying The Study of the Ten Sefirot, we learn the structure of our desire.

Question: Is it ours? Or is it a common desire of the entire universe?

Answer: It is common, of the entire universe, but not of the corporeal universe!

Question: Can we say that there is a law “the particular and the general are equal,” and therefore, by studying the structure of the ten Sefirot on myself, will I be able to understand what is happening in all the spiritual worlds?

Answer: Of course. By analogy.

A Work Written for the Current Generation

209Question: The Study of the Ten Sefirot, written by Baal HaSulam, is a commentary on the book of the Ari, the great Kabbalist of the sixteenth century.

Why was it important at that time to write about such phenomena as time, space, and motion, first the Ari, and then Baal HaSulam?

Answer: Because at that time humanity had already grown to a state where it could somehow intuitively understand these sources.

In principle, they wrote for their own and for subsequent generations. And earlier Kabbalists expressed all this in the form of various stories and legends.

Comment: Indeed, the Ari and Baal HaSulam have a completely different language. We read The Study of the Ten Sefirot as some kind of physics. And there was no such thing before.

My Response: Yes, it was different before, but the same thing was stated.
