Question: From the point of view of the wisdom of Kabbalah, does it make sense to search for extraterrestrial civilizations?

Answer: When we talk about something that exists, we mean that it exists relative to a person’s attainment and what he expects.

Everything that he sees is happening within him. So if we assume that there is a planet Mars, it means that it is within a person as the expression of some desire that he has. Does life exist on Mars? What does life mean? What are the properties of protein?

From the aspect of the perception of reality, there is no life anywhere. Everything that a person investigates, he investigates within himself. All of the laws, everything that I see and feel, it is all inside of me.

Question: If a person was born in 1940, before I was born, how can he be a part of me?

Answer: Everything is comprehended relative to the person who is the observer. So history, as it seems to us, having gone on for thousands and even millions of years, its counts, inscriptions, chain, axes of time, and actions, everything is in each one of us.

Question: Does that mean there is no history and there were no dinosaurs?

Answer: There was nothing. Everything is within me. That is the way my desires, which remain in me as special memories, are integrated within me. After all, it is not matter, it is only a Reshimo (a record of information).

Question: Why is the principle of holography implemented in nature? Why don’t we feel it?

Answer: We attain everything that surrounds us through our senses, and so the attainment is according to the person who attains. That is why we cannot say that we attain nature objectively.

If we aspire to attain the Creator in the tenth dimension because that’s the way we were created, we don’t feel and don’t understand it any other way because our mind, our sensory instrument, is arranged according to a certain system. If it were created differently, we would probably be able to perceive and understand the environment differently.

It is hard to say what our universe would look like then. It is impossible to describe that because everything is perceived and reflected by a person in his consciousness. Without it, it is impossible to say how things would look.

Question: Man has a corporeal body. Does the soul have a body?

Answer: The body of the soul is called the desire to bestow.

Question: Is it possible to not get confused by the fact that all of the worlds and all of reality are inside me and that the feeling is that everything is external to me?

Answer: It is impossible unless you begin to feel the upper reality. In the meantime, it is a purely philosophical question.

Question: Once we  we reach this egoistic corporeal world, do we remember our initial spiritual state if it already existed?

Answer: No, we don’t remember. We can only imagine and picture it to ourselves, and nothing more than that. However, there is no need for us to do so. We must advance and not delve into the past.

Question: Can you give a concrete example of love and bestowal in the spiritual sense of the word?

Answer: Connect to your friends in the group to such a degree that you feel them as one unique whole and, at the same time, cease to feel yourself. This is a spiritual feeling. It is useless to try to look for spiritual actions outside the group and outside the friends.

Question: How does reality change when I begin to see the work of the upper force through me and though those around me with the help of the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: When you connect with the upper force, you begin to understand how you must bestow unto it and focus on the goal consciously in order to change the corporeal reality. At the same time, you yearn to reach total resemblance and equivalence with the only upper force of leadership so that you and that force will become one whole. This is what a person’s correction comes down to.

Question: In science, there is a concept of “fractality.” If, for example, we take a large crystal and break it into pieces, we get fractals, that is, small crystals of exactly the same shape as the big crystal.

In technology, the term “fractality” is characteristic of a hologram, each part of which contains its full image. How is this phenomenon described in the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: The fact is that all of nature represents a single system, consisting of ten Sefirot or of five parts, the so-called name of YaHaVaH. Each part of the system, in turn, consists of subsystems that are similar to a general system.

This goes on practically until eternity. There is no way to perform a numerical analysis in order to determine to what extent the general system is divided into subsystems, and those system are divided further still.

Each part of the subsystems, wherever it is, affects the entire system through an infinite number of all possible intermediate links. And it turns out that if a person “grabbed” onto just one small part of this system, then he finds in it a complete micro picture of the whole system, and based on this, gets a certain idea about it.

Thus, one attains not only a single element of the system, but the entire structure of YaHaVaH completely. Whether it is small or large, it is always fully attainable. It’s similar to how a person in our world has five senses, regardless of his age: whether it is a small child, an adult, or an old man.

Question: In corporeal nature, there is a limit to fractality because from the point of view of quantum physics, our world can be divided into blocks, pixels, and there cannot be anything less than an elementary block. What about spirituality?

Answer: In the spiritual world a pixel is still only a pixel. It must consist of its ten micro parts, but we cannot perceive it because our senses perceive only quanta of light.

Such a state also exists in the upper Light. Any Light is divided into five parts that are further divided into five, and another five. We cannot perceive less than 1/125 part of the total light because we lack the resolution in our desires. Suppose we guess what is in the contrast between black and white, however, when it’s less than a certain quantum, less than a certain resolution, then we no longer have it in us.

Question: Sensory perception in animals is much more developed than in humans: sight, smell, hearing, and touch. Does this mean that they are more developed than humans?

Answer: In our world, animals are much more adapted to nature than people. However, man’s weakness in regard to nature, on the one hand, and his developed intelligence, on the other hand, enables him to adapt all of nature to himself. So this is, as they say, a double-edged sword.

Question: In spirituality, is the sensitivity of animals stronger?

Answer: There are no animals in spirituality. They remain on the animal level, as do those people who have not received the properties of bestowal.

Until we penetrate into the upper world, into the world of bestowal and love, we are considered beasts. After all, until then, we have nothing other than the five senses and a little more intelligence, which lowers us below the level of the animals.

Question: Specifically why are humans called the crown of everything that has been created?

Answer: Humans are called the crown of creation because the whole creation was created according to a structure that is called “Adam” – Man, and all parts of creation are components of this system.

When a person begins to comprehend creation, it appears within him as his constituent parts. A person begins to understand that only he was created and that all the rest of the still, vegetative, animate, and human are found within him.

That is the way every person feels who has achieved creation, even though according to our logic, it makes no sense for a person to feel that everything is within him. This is precisely what happens, because creation is a system of many connections, and within it, every person includes all of creation within himself.

Question: Is the universe intelligent?

Answer: According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, intelligence or mind is called the Light of Hochma, and only a person who attains certain levels in spirituality can have such Light. Therefore, people who are considered intelligent in our world don’t really have a mind or intelligence from the Kabbalistic perspective

However, when we begin to work with our desires with the intention of in order to bestow, the energy, the Light that fill us, is called the Light of Hochma (Wisdom), the power of the mind. In this state, we become the owners of the control system of creation.

Question: Kabbalists say that nature and the Creator are one and the same. If that’s the case, is nature intelligent?

Answer: It depends on what you mean. If you mean the Creator when referring to“nature, then the Creator is wise. Everything that He stands for in our perception is wisdom (intelligence).

In the News (The New York Times): “New research is teasing out more of the profoundly miraculous process of language learning in babies. And it turns out that even more is going on prenatally than previously suspected.

“By looking at international adoptees — babies who were adopted soon after birth and who grow up hearing a different language than what they heard in the womb — researchers can see how what babies hear before and soon after birth affects how they perceive sounds, giving new meaning to the idea of a “birth language.”

“Experts have known for some time that newborns prefer to listen to voices speaking the language that they’ve been listening to in the womb, said Anne Cutler, a psycholinguist who is a professor at the Marcs Institute for Brain, Behavior and Development at Western Sydney University, in Australia.

“Newborns can recognize the voices they’ve been hearing for the last trimester in the womb, especially the sounds that come from their mothers, and prefer those voices to the voices of strangers. They also prefer other languages with similar rhythms, rather than languages with very different rhythms. …”

Question: What is your opinion as a Kabbalist about the connection between the brain and speech, what are words and letters, what is expression?

Answer: Speech is a very complicated mechanism that expresses thoughts and emotions that we learn and acquire throughout life, but this mechanism begins to develop even in the embryonic state of the person.

Before it is born, a fetus hears and understands the speech of its mother, so a baby begins to understand the speech of adults at a very early stage, even after a few weeks. The manner in which the parents speak with him is of great importance, as well as the behavior of the mother during pregnancy, because she is communicating internally with him and the fetus absorbs everything. All of these impressions influence his speech.

In fact, speech is a divine gift to humanity, with its help, he communicates with the Creator.

Just as a mother speaks with a fetus who is not yet born, or with a baby, so we must also imagine to ourselves that we are conversing with the Creator, and if we just want to, we can exchange words with the Creator; this language is called a sacred language.

With its help a small person (this could be someone who is adult in age, because from the perspective of his internal development he may still be small), is linked with the Creator and can communicate with Him. If it is not in words, then it is with a smile, gestures, inner drives, and so forth. In other words, a language is a code.

Furthermore, Hebrew is a special language that was created in a written and spoken form, with all its inner meanings, from the forces through which the Creator and the creature converse with each other. So there is nothing that can be substituted for Hebrew, it is the foundation of all languages.

Question: Does this mean that Hebrew actually lives in everyone?

Answer: Absolutely! This is because the letters are composed of two forces, vertical and horizontal.

As a result of this, the letters have square shapes because there is nothing besides the two forces, vertical and horizontal, from above to below, from below to above, or from right to left, and from left to right. These two directions include all the forces of nature within them, because the horizontal is characteristic of bestowal and vertical is characteristic of reception.

Question: And what is a point?

Answer: A point is both the beginning of a vertical line and a horizontal line, or their intersection. From this state comes the communication of a person with the Creator or even between people. It seems to people that they are communicating with each other directly, but they are communicating between them through the Creator.

Comment: You are asserting revolutionary declarations, like Hebrew exists within every person…

My Response: Hebrew is the foundation of the inner program of a person, like the foundation of any computer program is zero and one. It is the same thing here.

Comment: An additional declaration is that we are communicating through the Creator.

My Response: Solely and only! He connects us and nobody else! Otherwise, we would not be connected. All of us are absolute egoists, and as such we have no ability to have contact between us, the Creator fills the void and the space between us. What this means is that our language is the Creator.

Question: In our world, we raise children, work, study, and play. And what does the soul do?

Answer: All the actions in our world we experience only in our consciousness. Therefore, it is written that when we return to the upper world we understand that everything we went through in this world was like a dream.

Question: What we will do when we wake up?

Answer: To wake up means to obtain real consciousness. Then we will be engaged in the creation of the soul, which means uniting in order to attain the true universe, true world, true eternal, and perfect state in our unity, as in a single organism called Adam. In other words, we will begin to create a real state above our sleep.

Question: What is the real state? What do people do there?

Answer: Not people, but souls, meaning desires that are corrected for mutual bestowal to each other. These desires begin to feel the unified upper force, the Creator, that exists in them, because they become one single desire by rising above their egoistic inclinations “to grab everything for themselves” to the intention “to give everything to others” and thus to be mutually connected.

By being included in the Creator above the egoistic desires that tear us apart, we attain this upper force, its perfection, oneness, and eternity and become like it. This is the purpose of our development.

Our souls are engaged only in unification between each other at all spiritual degrees. Now we are starting to master this technique practically in the tens.

Therefore, I advise to everyone to join us and under no circumstance to miss practical classes on Kabbalah. This is the most important thing. Only for the sake of this it is worth living 21 hours a day, in order to spend three hours with us at our classes.

Think about it and decide.

Question: How does a Kabbalist feel our world and the spiritual world through a template of ten Sefirot?

Answer: It depends on the level and the state of the Kabbalist. He feels our world inside himself according to his level, partly through the revelation of the upper forces and partly through the revelation of corporeal forces.

Sometimes I feel that I am in a descent and actually perceive only this world, and sometimes I am in states in which I feel that there is an upper force field that manages everything. In between these two extreme states, I feel that I am in a higher or lower state of an ascent or descent accordingly.

Question: Should we try to avoid the feelings of the corporeal world? Are they harmful??

Answer: You don’t need to try to avoid anything. You should simply yearn to be incorporated in others. Thus you ascend in the feeling of your world.

There is nothing harmful and everything is actually beneficial. When you develop and advance along the spiritual path and discover the right vector, everything that is added to it is only meant to help you advance.
