Question: What is the difference between a lesson conducted by a Kabbalist and lessons by a rabbi or lectures of a professor?

Answer: A rabbi or a professor talk about our world. And the Kabbalist speaks about the next degree of man and how to ascend to it. That is the difference.

The Kabbalist brings revelation of the upper world to the world, and a professor and a rabbi simply bring knowledge.

Question: Based on what needs does a professor or a rabbi do this? What is their fuel?

Answer: Based on everything that governs a person: fame, power, knowledge, it doesn’t matter what.

Even that same professor (who is only interested in knowledge and wholeheartedly wants to pass it on to his students) has even more egoism because knowledge is higher than fame and power. Knowledge includes all previous degrees.

Therefore, it cannot be said that he has locked himself somewhere in a corner and does not need anything from the world. On the contrary, it is huge egoism.

And above this ego, there is egoism that arises in the Kabbalist, and he corrects it.

Question: You say that there is nothing stronger than a thought connected with a desire. What do thought and desire mean separately?

Answer: This happens only with respect to us. We are constantly talking to each other on a level called psychology.

It does not give us the opportunity to clearly explore our desires as forces with information records that can be divided into ten Sefirot (emanations). We do not study them in three lines: in receiving, bestowing, and in the middle line between them, in balance as on a scale. All this is impossible to study at the level of psychology.

But from it, we slowly rise to the level that Kabbalah speaks of, to the level where these forces are weighed and their vector orientation of interaction with each other is correctly evaluated. From these forces, we can create an entire vector field, check it, analyze it, change it, and thus control ourselves and the rest of the world.

This is what Kabbalah allows us, but only in the right direction and by no means forcing others to do so, since you are entering a realm where you have clear limitations. As soon as you cross a certain threshold and you suddenly have the opportunity to do something wrong, everything immediately disappears.

In the spiritual world, there is a safeguard; it is impossible to harm the world more than on our small, insignificant, earthly level.

Question: What does the information about the four phases of the expansion of the light in the form of letters give us?

Answer: This information gives us first knowledge that the entire Hebrew alphabet depicts to us the qualities of light and the qualities of darkness—the qualities of creation and the qualities of the Creator.

It is so created to explain to us how different we are from the Creator, and how we can depict our qualities relative to the Creator or the qualities of the Creator relative to us.

Practically all letters are like drawings, images, of the characteristics of the Creator on the background of the qualities or characteristics of creation.

Question: Can we say that a Kabbalist looks at these letters and sees instructions in them on how to receive the light and apply it on his desire?

Answer: Of course, yes.

Question: And the one who does not understand how to do it, how does he use this in life?

Answer: So, he does not understand, he looks at these letters as if they were the Chinese alphabet.

There are no letters actually in the Chinese language—only a great number of images, thousands of hieroglyphs. But they depict conformity between qualities.

It is the same in Hebrew. Although we have only 22 letters, they are enough to depict the relationship between the light and the Kli, creation and Creator. It is a very economical alphabet.

Question: Can an ordinary person use this in his life?

Answer: No. What can he use it for? He can write it down, he can read it. But without understanding the essence of the Creator and the essence of creation, he will not read it correctly.

Question: While reading The Book of Zohar, how can I feel that I am reading from a desire that comes from a general connection and not my personal desire?

Answer: You can read The Zohar separately, only it will not give you anything.

Question: What is the difference between when I am together with everyone and read based on my own desire, and when I go through a common desire?

Answer: When you read together, but at the same time you seem to be alone, then you are really alone.

And when you read together with others in one common desire and you have annulled your egoism in order to join together with them and attain the upper quality of bestowal and love to the extent of your equivalence of form to it, that is, you have prepared yourself by connecting with the group to connect with the upper force, then you really have its revelation in the quality that you have prepared in yourself in advance according to the law of equivalence of form.

Therefore, the difference is that you attain two different worlds. After all, when you study only for yourself, you just study wisdom or knowledge. And when you read and connect with others, you attain the upper world firsthand. It clothes on you because your qualities, which love with your friends has prepared, have become similar to it.

Question: If I’m not trying to understand what is written in The Book of Zohar, but I’m trying to catch the general wave, how do you direct your desire through the common mass?

Answer: Only with your love; there is nothing else. Only with your kind attitude! Only by incorporating in the friends! Like a mother through her children; in no other way. Don’t try to find anything else here. It’s very simple.

Expansion of the light means filling desires with light. Despite the fact that the light and the desire are opposite, they need each other simultaneously. After all, the light wishes to fill all creations, all desires. And the desire of the vessel, the Kli, is to be filled for its own sake.

Here arises a contradiction between them, and the light gradually corrects this desire so that from the state of being filled for oneself, it begins to understand that it is best to be filled for the sake of the light.

Question: Why does the by-product of the state of receiving for oneself manifest itself in our world as great forces of evil?

Answer: The fact is that we are interconnected parts of the system. So, if you do something for yourself, it goes to the detriment of others. No one can act in isolation from others; therefore, by not acting for the sake of others, you are acting to their detriment. That is the problem.

Question: Indeed, people do everything for themselves. I think any psychologist will confirm it. However, most people do not do evil to others. Yes, they receive for their own sake, but why is it called evil in Kabbalah?

Answer: If we saw the true picture of the world, we would understand how we constantly wish good for ourselves and, at the same time, necessarily cause harm to others.

Question: Even if I do nothing explicitly bad to others?

Answer: Even if you do not understand it. We are all in a closed system as if inside a sphere. And if you think only about yourself, you are definitely stealing from others.

This happens at the level of desires, thoughts, and actions. But we do not see these actions.

Question: Does it mean that even if I live on an uninhabited island, I still would cause harm to the whole system?

Answer: Yes. An enclosed system is totally closed in, and no one can disconnect themselves from it.

Question: To what extent do you feel this world? Is there still some sort of borderline? If some experts in their field come up to you and claim: “I am very good at it,” and you do not need to plunge into it. Is there any borderline here?

Answer: If specialists in something artificially created by man in any field come to me, then I can learn something from them for the purpose of dissemination. And for my personal spiritual elevation, I do not need any specialist.

But since I deal with teaching, that is, I turn to students, I am happy to meet with specialists. They help me find new examples and develop the language.

I published several books with psychologists. And I can also talk about Kabbalah with historians from a historical perspective, and so on. That is, I am ready to communicate with them.

Let the physicists come. It is more difficult to find a common language with them, but still it is possible somewhere on the so-called “periphery.” In other words, there is no common language inside physics and Kabbalah, but outside there is. For example, if physicists begin to tell me about all sorts of processes that take place in atoms, I will see them in the form of Reshimot, light, and Kli at different levels of entry and exit of the light when the screen expires, suppose from Tabur to Peh. It is interesting for me.

The same is true about chemistry, biology, zoology, and so on. The principle is the same! The exchange between plus and minus is all nature! There is nothing else. This is at different levels. After all, an electron, an atom is the basis of everything.

I have always strived for a complete picture of the world. A partial one never suited me. I could not stand a partial one! What is the point in sitting somewhere in a corner and picking at bugs there?! I could not stand it!

Only the general picture! Only the global one! You see, you understand, and you connect all the elements of the picture into one common whole, harmony, a huge panel, a palette of everything. It is breathtaking when everything opens up in front of you, and you see and feel it! It is fantastic!

Question: Why are Bina and Malchut represented by the same letter?

Answer: It is a consequence of the distribution of light in desire. Bina is the highest desire, Malchut is the lowest desire. But from the Creator’s side, it is almost the same.

Question: But Bina and Malchut have different qualities: Bina is giving, Malchut is receiving. Why do they have the same shape?

Answer: But not from the Creator’s side. From the Creator’s side they are the same, but from the creation’s side they are different.

Question: We are the consequences of the Creator’s program; He created us with the will to receive. It is programmed in the light itself. Are we to blame for this?

Answer: Nobody blames you. You are just inside nature.

Question: What does nature want from us?

Answer: Nature does not want anything. It offers you a correct, normal, balanced, one might say ideal life, an ideal existence. But only if you follow its integral law.

Question: I do follow the law. I was created with the will to receive, so I receive for my own sake, right?

Answer: No! This is not enough. You must think about others because you are in the same system with them.

Comment: But I was created that way, I cannot think about others.

My Response: Here you must add your own awareness. It will raise you to the level of the Creator.

At some stage of development, you get the opportunity to rise and to realize what system you are in. If you fulfill the conditions of the balance of this system, receiving and bestowing, then you will begin to feel its general character, that is, the Creator.

Question: Does it mean that I was created opposite to the light only to realize this and want to change myself on my own?

Answer: Yes. This opportunity exists for every creature.

Comment: You once said that we are not correcting ourselves, but we are correcting the connection between us.

My Response: Yes, of course. A person corrects not himself, but his attitude toward others and his connection with them.

Question: But everyone has their own qualities. How is our connection being corrected?

Answer: By merging with nature. You can be properly connected with others only if you wish to rise to the next degree of development, to the common force of nature.

You cannot connect with someone unless you acquire the force that holds the whole universe, unites all its parts and laws, and contains all the opposing forces.

This force is the global law of the universe, the balance and the connection of all forces. Einstein was so eager to find its formula, its manifestation. Naturally, he could not do this, because he was engaged in research at the level of inanimate matter. However for this, the vegetative, animate, and, especially, the human level is necessary.

Therefore, physicists today also do not succeed, although there are many theories close to it. They feel both the necessity and the need for it.

But the most important is the need, at any level of our correction, to pursue one common goal: to come to unity, to connect, so that the common force of nature supports us, manifests itself between us, and connects us.

Then we will really achieve unity because nature has this quality. It controls everything that exists—what we see and what we have not yet discovered.

The fact is that this single force is somehow relatively manifested at the inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels, but not at the human level because we ourselves must summon it, we ourselves must wish and understand where we lack it, and then it will fill all the voids between us.

When I discover that the right relationship is needed between you and me, then to the extent that we determine how much we need it, the force of nature that binds us will gradually open up and realize this connection.

Comment: Information about the creation of creation through the descent of the four stages of the development of desire has been available to the scientific world for a few hundred years already. However, no one has used it.

My Response: What does the scientific world have to do with it? It does not work with this data at all.

Question: But science is searching for the answer to the question of how the world was created. Various theories exist about this. Billions of dollars are invested in this research. Do you think there is a possibility that the Kabbalistic theory will be used in the future?

Answer: In general it is possible, but science has to come to some kind of dead end in order for this to happen. Then it will begin to re-examine itself: where did we stumble, make a mistake, or take a hypothesis as a given, which in general do not place?

When people start to question whether we are on the wrong path and that this is not the path of nature, but the path of our egoism, then they will find answers to their questions in Kabbalah.

Comment: Perhaps one of the reasons is that we are talking about the level of “human.” Therefore it is difficult for science to research it. Science has a relatively easy way to study inanimate and vegetative nature specifically.

My Response: Yes, here indeed we are talking about our desires. It is not easy to research them.
