Restoring the Spiritual Information Base

Remark: Russian Journalist Vasyli Shulgin in the book What We Don’t Like about Them wrote: “These people possessed a wide variety of abilities, great will, amazing endurance; their nature is characterized by great ability to work, an insatiable love of activity … But nevertheless, the Good Shepherds … in a word – into Spiritual Teachers, I would not take modern Jews. ”

My Comment: Naturally. After all, they completely fell from their spiritual level. In them, of course, the rudiments remained of the so-called Reshimo, informational genetic data, but they are not yet ready to be spiritual teachers.

Remark: So like all peoples, there are good and bad Jews, but the special thing that once was in them is missing today.

My Comment: This must be developed! The last exile almost completely erased the entire information base. It must be raised, developed, pulled out of them. It is very difficult to work with modern Jews.

Remark: As I understand, people with a special predisposition to rapprochement and proper communication between them were selected from all of humanity in order to then transfer the method of unification to all of humanity. And if they do not, then a law called anti-Semitism is included, which drives them to this action.

My Comment: This is a law of nature.

Ezra and Nehemiah: Restoring the Nation

Question: Upon returning to Judea, discord continued to surface among the people. At this time, two spiritual leaders appeared: Ezra and Nehemiah.

They took various measures to restore Jewish society, which had already begun to disintegrate, assimilate, and adopt the ethics of their neighbors. Therefore, mixed marriages were banned, instructions were given to abstain from work on the Sabbath (Saturday), and general education of the Torah was introduced, etc.

What is this about? Are these external laws somehow connected to the unity of the people? Surely we are talking about more internal things?

Answer: It speaks about preserving the people. It was necessary to create a society that would be guided by its principles, not the principles of the surrounding nations.

At that time, Jews were surrounded by fairly powerful nations: the Romans, Greeks, Persians, and Egyptians. In our time, these nations and regions fell into relative decline, but then, they were great civilizations that clashed, invaded each other, and competed among themselves. Therefore, the Jews were faced with a problem of how to create a framework for preserving the nation.

The institution of Cohens and Levites (priests) was re-established to train the teachers. This was prior to the construction of the Temple. This is how the education of the whole nation began. Children learned the laws by which their ancestors existed back in the time of Abraham and even Adam.

Question: Were these laws not observed before that?

Answer: They were observed, but gradually everything was forgotten, swept away by the invasion of Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian captivity, etc. It was necessary to restore them again.

But the most important thing was the rebirth of closeness between the Jews. If any nation lived on their own were left without any authority, they would still know how to exist. But the Jewish people do not because the 70 roots of the ancient Babylonian nations that they come from began speaking through them. Therefore, a method of connection between the people had to be introduced. This is what Ezra and Nehemiah were doing.

Naturally, everything was no longer in the form that it was during Abraham or Moses, when he led the people through the desert from Egypt to Israel, or Joshua, when entering the Land of Israel. Everything was on a different, lower, more simplified level.

But still, they taught the people these very laws, literally from the very beginning, since the transmission of spiritual knowledge from generation to generation was disrupted due to Babylonian and Egyptian exiles.

Also, the nation that went into exile was no longer holy. There was discourse and fighting among them, they did not want to observe any social rules, even somewhat “loving your neighbor.” Thus, the exile occurred.

Therefore, they had to be educated all over again, which is what Ezra and Nehemiah did. This was a practical resurrection of the nation.

A Special Place on Earth

Comment: After Haman’s execution and unification of the Jewish people, the King of Persia Kir came to power. He gave the Jews of Persia an opportunity to move to the land of Israel and he supplied them with the means to build the Temple.

The land of Israel (Eretz Israel) seems to be a special place on Earth.

My Response: Indeed. But living in Israel is not easy. If people who live there, in any historical period, do not obey the laws of this land, meaning the laws of unity, “loving the neighbor,” helping each other out, then this land has a detrimental effect on them. They cannot live here in peace and continue to develop, and they feel a certain antagonism toward this place, and thus it seems to spew them out.

A long time ago this land was very fertile. If there is water and a correct attitude toward this land, it bears fruit. But everything depends on the people.

This is a special land, it senses the relationships between the people. And if they are not kind toward each other, the land is not kind toward them.

Fasting—Restriction Of The Egoism

Question: During the second Babylonian exile, the Persians conquered Babylon and created a vast Persian Empire. It is interesting to know what happened to the Jewish people there.

Baal HaSulam, Shamati, #144, “There Is a Certain People”: “There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples.” Haman said that in his view, we will succeed in destroying the Jews because they are separated from one another; hence, our force against them will certainly prevail, as it causes separation between man and God. And the Creator will not help them anyway, since they are separated from Him.

Haman, the embodiment of the egoistic force, put everyone on their knees except Mordechai. Mordechai declared that he was Yehudi [Jewish], from the word Yichud [unity/union], meaning striving to unite with the Creator, and thus refused to obey Haman. Enraged, Haman decided to destroy all the Jews.

Then Queen Esther asks everyone to fast, and the Creator helps them and they win.

What is fasting? And how is it related to connection or separation?

Answer: Fasting is a certain rejection of all the values that people are used to in their lives. This is not the same as on the corporeal level: I am fasting today, so I am refusing to eat or drink.

Fasting means that everything that represents my life becomes absolutely prohibited for me. I see it as completely unnecessary, non-existent; I refuse everything I used to live by, all the values that I held high; I completely distance myself from my previous ideals. I re-evaluate my whole life.

During this time, I must transition to a completely new level of existence. If I were used to enjoying life and all it has to offer, now it is to the contrary, I immerse myself into internal scrutiny: Who am I, what is all this for, etc.? Meaning, I restrict my egoism.

Assimilation Will Not Help

Question: After the Jews went into exile for 2,000 years, they repeatedly experienced four acts of the same play in a foreign land. At first, they caused prosperity in the country they settled in, then they faced hatred toward them from other peoples, then their physical destruction began, and as a result they were exiled.

Can it be said that this is a law?

Answer: Yes, it is a law. Even if they were not physically exiled, such as in Russia, they were still placed in such conditions that they had to leave. Even in our time.

Now it is brewing in America. Jews by no means want to leave there. They believe that this is their homeland and everything is fine there. But in the end, after the prime, which passed very quickly, hatred gradually manifests itself, and it will squeeze them out of the country.

It will not be exile, as it was in the Middle Ages in Portugal and Spain, and later in England, Germany, and France when the Jews had to free the whole territory within a week, but simply hatred.

Remark: Moreover, no matter how much Jews try to assimilate, there is still some kind of law that prevents them from doing this.

My Response: Even mixed marriages will not help. We will see it.

Why are there 10 tribes of the people of Israel dispersed around the world?

Question: What can you say, as a Kabbalist, about the ten lost tribes that still cannot be found? What was the point of this? This is still a large part of the nation that has to reach unity.

Answer: Yes, of course. Only two and a half tribes remained, and the rest disappeared.

The fact is that this is a huge number of people who do not live somewhere in one or another place, but have settled around the globe. We see in the stories of the two remaining tribes how they went through all the paths of exile, mixing with other nations and all that. This is a very interesting historical process.

Question: There are three main areas where Jews settled during exile: North Africa, Spain, and Germany.

Why has nature done this in such a harsh method? If nature has a goal for all peoples to unite, and all of humanity to become one organism, then this could be done in a softer way.

Answer: Nature has its own logic: to choose some group from all of humanity.

Firstly, this group consists of representatives of all nations. This is not a biological people, like all the others, but simply people connected by one common goal: the desire to connect in order to reveal the upper force, a higher existence, to live in harmony with all of the integral nature. So, it was quite reasonable and quite justified.

Comment: Nature led the Jews to some kind of unity. Then the unity was lost, and nature (the Creator) dispersed them all over the world.

My Response: Everything was the way it should be. This was known even in the days of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Torah hints at the fact that Jacob was supposed to tell his children about this, but hid it from them, meaning from the 12 tribes, their future.

And today, when we are almost at the end of the path, unity must be revealed. Why are ten tribes still hiding in other nations? We do not know. We cannot imagine what could happen to the world if this group, called the Jews, despite their small numbers, did not disperse around the world. We do not realize how much it is precisely the trigger and source of all problems, all actions, all of world history.

We see how much impact it has had on all of humanity. After the destruction of the First Temple in the 6th and 7th century BC, Confucianism and all Eastern methods appeared. And after the destruction of the Second Temple, Christianity and Islam arose.

Clearly Defined Program

Question: It is very difficult to see the unity of the nation in the Torah stories since it is more about discord and wars. Therefore, when it says that the Torah’s basic law is love your neighbor as yourself the question arises: Where is the love for one’s neighbor?”

Answer: The Torah talks about the actions that we must take and that we are unable to do them. Therefore, we have to ask for the strength to do it.

Question: How should we understand that this is a law of nature, that behind all this is a program that governs everything?

Answer: This program is called HaVaYaH, the four-letter name of the Creator, i.e., the four-stage development of all humankind, of their egoism, and its subsequent correction.

Question: Wasn’t it possible to prevent the split of the nation and disappearance of the 12 tribes?

Answer: No way. Everything that happened needed to be realized.

Question: Was all that so that the people Abraham once gathered on the ideological basis of correct unification would be scattered all over the world to transmit this method to the world?

Answer: Yes. But to do so they must go through all of it themselves and absorb it. Having absorbed this knowledge through ascents and descents, they really can own this method and offer it to the whole world.

Question: Our nation only survived thanks to various unions, albeit shaky ones. The true, important reason for unification is not clear to us today, and we have nothing to reject except the enforcement of another reason for unification. How can we rise above this?

Answer: The people of Israel existed because they united above the forces of separation, and then abandoned these attempts 2,000 years ago. It is time to renew them and achieve success.

Question: Why does the Creator constantly evoke a terrible hatred toward Him in me?

Answer: So that you will rise above your egoistic qualities and acquire the opposite. In this way, He draws you to Him.

Question: What is the difference between the Kabbalistic explanation of our world and the Passover holiday from the ordinary opinions?

Answer: There are several levels of explanation of existence, its creation, development, goal, and the human’s task in it. For example, we can say the Passover holiday is:

1. the historical period of slavery of the people in Egypt,
2. about the “slavery” of man in his egoism, Egypt, Pharaoh,
3. about the development of creation, desire, under the influence of the Creator, light, and its absence, under the influence of darkness, Egypt, Pharaoh.

At different levels you can also say it is about:

1. the mechanical performance of rituals, which are commonly called commandments,
2. the psychological fulfillment of the instruction “love your neighbor as yourself,” as a general(klal) instruction of the Creator, which includes all other instructions, as stated in the Torah: “Love your neighbor is the general law of the Torah,”
3. the Kabbalistic effect of the upper light on the worlds and through them on the souls that go through the stages of their spiritual development, correction.

Coronavirus and Anti-Semitism

Question: Until recently, you dealt with problems of anti-Semitism, you wrote articles and books on this topic. Suddenly there is this virus, and now you are more engaged in explaining where this blow comes from. Why?

Answer: No, I am not particularly engaged with the virus. I understand why it was given to us. This is a fairly simple task. It cannot be resolved as anti-Semitism where it is necessary to explain everything on an ideological level.

Question: Is there any connection between what is happening now and anti-Semitism?

Answer: There soon will be. Soon Jews will be accused of deliberately launching this virus through China and Iran, that is, through their detractors.

Comment: It already is in the Iranian media.

My Response: In Iran, this is understandable. Soon it will be all over the news and people will talk about it. However, there are a lot of things we can do. That is when I will start explaining the reasons for anti-Semitism again.

For now it is very difficult to explain to people the connection between the virus and the Jews, between their historical role and the egoistic connection of different nations.
