Question: Does the visual picture of our world disappear when you can feel spiritual forces?

Answer: It does not disappear anywhere. If you really want to know this, you need to change yourself. Do not be prejudiced about what you are offered, but accept and try to implement it.

Question: What if someone looks at it from the outside and wants to understand the specifics of a person’s change?

Answer: It will not be possible for an onlooker to see or find out anything! Only if you start going inside. Even at the very beginning of the path, you will still be confused and will not know what is what.

But in the process, when you yourself create within you the qualities of reception and bestowal, and they arise in you in the opposite form, one against the other, you will internally be able to begin to connect them together. On the basis of their symbiosis, you will build what is called your soul, and you will begin to reveal in it the upper forms of existence, the upper dimensions.

You and no one else! Only you will see what you have to see. And it is so for each one.

Comment: A person’s main problem is that he is not tied to higher coordinates. When you say that our world does not exist, that it is just an illusion, the question arises: “Where am I?”

My Response: Nothing can be done. There is a methodology for this. So it is necessary to gradually introduce a person into this, to explain, and to give him the opportunity to explore how to manage his qualities. All this is given to us initially. Everyone can and must attain the truth. This must be learned.

All the suffering in the world pushes us to do just that. It does not push us to improve our world, this small sphere in which we exist. There is no need for that.

We have to change ourselves so as to go out into the outer sphere, and then into a more external sphere, and into an even more external sphere. And if we start improving our little sphere instead, and we want to stay inside it, we only get the blows of nature, which try to push us out like a cherry stone. This is what we feel today in all our actions in the world.

Therefore, we do not need to change the world or even improve society, but rather we need to help a person reach the next degree of existence with a completely different screen in another world in another dimension.

You do not have to do anything else, just this. Everything else will only lead to additional suffering and to the postponement of the end; it will distance the good ascent.

Our world aspires only to this, and we will definitely come to this. But it all depends on the amount of suffering and the length of time it takes to realize that in the end we need to do something reasonable, i.e., first figure out what nature has planned for us.

Comment: Looking at a person or an object, I feel them, as you say, through the interaction of forces. But I perceive these objects as a visual, illusory image, which you call a screen.

My Response: The fact is that we perceive our natural screen we were born with. The interaction of forces draws a multidimensional picture of the world on it.

That is, we create flat screens in ourselves, like a computer screen or a movie screen, which are located inside our world. Our world itself is also a screen, only it is three-dimensional, and voluminous, like 3D technologies or other latest techniques.

There are 125 such spherical screens, meaning spheres nested one into another. We are in the smallest inner sphere. This screen, that was initially given to us automatically and in which we imagine ourselves as existing, is called “our world.”

It is created by only two forces, reception and bestowal, at the very minimum level of their interaction. If we can develop them, and raise ourselves up so that the force of bestowal prevails over the force of reception, then we will expand and enter the next sphere, the next screen, where we will feel ourselves living, but in a completely different form.

That is, we will feel ourselves, our qualities, and the entire environment completely differently. This is called the “upper world.” Then we move on to the next state, and the next one, and so on.

All these states overlap each other, and they do not interfere with us, like if you were in a movie theater and see on the screen how you sit and watch a movie, and in that movie, you see how you sit and watch another movie, and so on. And in this way, 125 screens inwardly.

Comment: Everything I feel and see around me is actually the interaction of forces within me. But I see it on my internal screen. In fact, this screen is just an illusion through which I can somehow hold on to the forces that exist behind it.

My Response: It is very difficult to imagine this for a person who does not feel it. You just feel like you are in our reality. You draw it, meaning you create it with your thoughts and forces. In fact, it does not exist.

After all, 125 concentric spheres of attainment do not exist outside of you. You draw them, you create them.

This is a very complex science. Therefore, it is necessary to gradually get used to such an action, enter it, and get used to it. Then you suddenly feel that everything really is arranged in this way, and that is how you live.

Question: Does the visual picture of the perception of our world change when entering the spiritual world?

Answer: Our world does not change in any way, only its roots change. Meaning, I begin to understand what is happening because now I perceive the higher sphere correctly.

But I cannot perceive all actions in our world correctly because many of them are carried out artificially, based on the egoism of a person acting completely wrong.

Therefore, I cannot interpret them correctly in advance, like a child who is doing something wrong. You know that he had to do this or that and get such and such results. But he did it wrong, and it is not known what consequences there may be from that.

Question: What is life?

Answer: Material life is a form of existence of protein matter.

Spiritual life is a feeling of being filled with light, not just with light, because there are many different colors in the spiritual world. For example, the light of Chaya is the light of life, a very great light of receiving, feeling, filling with life–giving power, and knowledge. It is called life.

In the spiritual, our protein matter is not considered life at all because, in fact, it does not exist. In the spiritual world of bestowal, there is nothing that we feel with our five senses in the material world.

Everything that we are observing now is not in the spiritual world at all because it exists only in our imagination, in our egoistic desires.

Question: Igor asks: “I am an empath; I am physically shaken by the troubles that are happening around. How can I learn not to empathize?”

Answer: No, it is necessary to empathize. This is how we were created. We just need to create a parallel system in ourselves that will understand why everything negative is happening. In order for us to complement this with a positive to extinguish this negative.

Comment: Igor writes that he is deeply shaken by what is happening, he empathizes with it.

My Response: Nothing of this is needed. Absolutely! It is necessary to relate to this very simply.

Everything in the world is in an exceptional form. It depends only on us as to how these opposing forces and phenomena will complement each other to absolute, complete perfection. That is what we need to desire.

Question: Reveal the secret; how do you see it all? We see it quite differently. Look at what is happening: wars are being prepared there; weapons are being accumulated over there; people are dying and close to death from hunger in other places. So, he says it shakes him deeply. How can you say, everything is in a state of perfection?

Answer: First, it is necessary to try to reach the feeling of the Creator, who manages all this, and manages it absolutely calmly, methodically, and with love. And He already sees the beginning, the middle, and the end in one absolute state. This is the first.

Second, everything that happens in the world happens inside of us. Inside of us, only inside of us, and not somewhere outside where stars explode, something falls down, something is being done. This is how it seems to a person. For this, we just need to read a little bit of Kabbalistic materials regarding the impression about the world, the universe, about what is happening. It is all inside of us and only inside of us. And if we change our qualities, then accordingly we will change our perception of the world, and we will see a completely different world.

How could it be? After all, I can see who is killing whom, who is doing something with someone. Look at what is going on in the world! Just evil, only evil. It is because that is how I look at it, at this world.

Comment: So you say in a simple way: inside me is war, I see war; inside me is evil, I see evil; inside me is hate, I see hate.

My Response: Yes. This is called an “egoistic, individualistic perception of the world.”

Question: So, this is my correction?

Answer: Change yourself and you will see a different world. And what is it like in general? It is nothing! A simple light flooding the entire universe.

Question: Am I in front of this light?

Answer: To the extent that I can imagine it. And not further. But I think we are getting closer to it.

Question: Do you have such a feeling?

Answer: Yes, I hope that it is getting closer and closer and more tangible

Question: And a person will be able to understand that if he changes, the world will change?

Answer: It is very easy. It will suddenly be simply as usual for people, why didn’t we see this before?

Question: It will not be like a discovery of America?

Answer: No. People will just talk about it as if it was also so yesterday. So, it was not there yesterday, you didn’t see it. You say “yesterday”?

Who?! We?! How could it be?

Question: Are you talking about what a person would possibly say: “I’ve changed, the world has changed”?

Answer: He will not even realize that he has changed; it will be so natural.

Question: Just the world will change, that’s all?

Answer: Yes. He’ll live in a different world.

Question: But is it going to happen because of his internal efforts that have been going on all the time?

Answer: But not everyone made internal efforts. But in general, it will happen anyway.

Question: Who does it, a person, or is it done by the light, the Creator?

Answer: The light of course! But we need to ask very hard for the light to do this with us.

Comment: In corporeal life when one person meets another, they identify each other by their faces, the way they look, and not by their inner qualities.

My Response: This is because they feel only our world.

And I feel my teacher, who is no longer in this world, not by his beard and appearance; I feel the person.

Even in the corporeal world when you live with someone for a long time, you just start to feel him. He becomes for you some internal image, not external.

It is the same in spirituality. You feel the souls. I feel the inner energetic spiritual component of my teacher and not the physical body which has long decayed.

Question: What exists in the space that seems empty to us in our egoistic perception, but in another perception is densely filled with everything?

Answer: It is types of desires: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human desires that we do not perceive from the next degrees, from the degree of the world of Assiya, Yetzira, Beria, Atzilut, Adam Kadmon, and so on to the level of infinity.

And there, just as in our world, we see the inanimate, vegetative, and animate degrees and the degree of “human,” we observe these kinds of forces, but only forces in the world of Assiya, Yetzira, Beria, Atzilut, and Adam Kadmon.

And most importantly is that in each of these worlds you discover the force that binds them and guides them. It is called the Creator, the one that creates in this world. You merge with it, connect with it, adapt, and you become it.

As a result, it turns out that a person ascends to the highest degree of the entire universe and includes everything in himself. But this is an all-encompassing image of a person, when all our bodies disappear at the level of our world, and all our desires, powers, knowledge, and newly acquired qualities merge into one image “Adam.”

That is what we are going toward. What is happening in the world marks the beginning of this path, the beginning of the spiritual elevation of humanity. Spiritual means beyond matter. This is the path to information, to a new change within us, in our “I.”

Question: Children have a very developed sense of attachment. Suppose a child went to his grandmother’s for the summer, rested, got used to it, and when he leaves, it is like he is being torn away from this forever. But the older a person gets, the easier it is to break these ties.

And for someone who studies Kabbalah, on the contrary, the task is to build up connections as quickly as possible so as not to get stuck in spiritual work?

Answer: Yes, but to do it using what is called “this world.” For him, the whole picture of the universe, the whole system is one, he does not break it. There is nothing to give up, to break away from. It is such an amazing discovery when it all comes down to one single world. And there is nothing superfluous, everything mutually includes and mutually complements each other.

Comment: Moreover, people have different attitudes toward attachments. For example, you can remember the car you sold for a long time, or you can quickly sell it and forget it.

My Response: It does not depend on whether a person is more sentimental or less sentimental, thinks quickly or slowly, but on how much he is engaged in higher or lower things. If he is engaged in high things, then the importance of lower things for him disappears very quickly.

Let’s say he changed cars, changed apartments, but his head is still occupied with some higher problem.

I traveled a lot to different countries. Do you think when I was driving that I felt that I was somewhere? If they told me: “You need to go out to take a photo or a video,” so I went out, walked along the Champs Elysees, or filmed in Berlin near the Reichstag, or in Italy next to the fountains. That is, I did what I was told, and was not eager to see the sights.

And not because I am indifferent to these places, I really love architecture and paintings. I am a man of this world and once I was seriously interested in them. But if you are captured by a higher idea, then all these cities and countries spin like a globe.

I remember how, as a child, when I could not go anywhere, “abroad” seemed to me some kind of magical world, something unrealizable, extraterrestrial. I sometimes remember my childhood performances when we lived behind the Iron Curtain. It is a small pity that today I do not have that aspiration, desire, admiration. Everything is being suppressed by the higher levels I am at, by what interests me now.

Question: There is a parable in which a husband and wife move to live in a new apartment. Early one morning the wife looks out the window and sees a neighbor hanging laundry. She says to her husband: “Our neighbor is a very bad housewife. Look at how dirty her clothes are.” The husband does not pay attention and is silent. Every day she looks out the window, sees her neighbor and says, “Oh, what a slob!” Suddenly one day she looks out the window in the morning, and sees the neighbor hanging clean clothes. She says to her husband: “You see, this slob has finally learned how to wash.” “No,” says the husband, “I just got up early today and washed our window.”

This seems to be our whole life. We look at the world through our dirty window, and badmouth other people.

Please tell me why we don’t notice that the window is dirty, but instead we criticize others?

Answer: It is more enjoyable for us to see what is happening at the neighbors. That is why we don’t see what’s happening at our place.

Question: Am I afraid to look into myself?

Answer: You can’t.

Question: So I keep seeing that there is dirt everywhere else. And do I have to clean it?

Answer: Yes.

Question: At what point do we notice that the window is dirty? How will we be led to the fact that this is our dirty window?

Answer: If there is no husband, you won’t notice.

Comment: This is the root of all troubles and wars, and we want to change the world, and we want to change others. This little parable is our whole life.

My Response: Yes.

Question: Who do you call a husband in relation to us, for example?

Answer: Someone from the side, someone serious who is on the same level with you or even maybe a little higher who can point you to understand the reason the world is dirty; it is dirty in you.

Question: Who can do this? Who is the husband who will clear the window for us so we will see that it was all about us?

Answer: The husband is the one who can rise above the female essence.

Question: Are we the female essence? In general, is all of humanity a woman?

Answer: Women, yes.

Question: Can we say that we are a woman, and our husband is the Creator?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Which means until the Creator wipes the window and says “Look, it’s all about you!” will nothing move? Are we going to solve problems at the ground level, kill others, or torture and torment them?

Answer: Yes. And then we justify ourselves.

Comment: That’s a very pessimistic end to the story.

My Response: This is our whole history.

Comment: I have to see that it’s all about me. We talk about it all the time.

My Response: It doesn’t matter. Even if you were to see and hear, you still wouldn’t want to see it.

Question: Won’t I request it anyway? So where is this gear shift after all? Where? How?

Answer: It will come from above.

Question: The fact that this egoism is in me, does it prevent me from seeing others and that all the dirt, all this dirty laundry, is in me?

Answer: Yes.

Question: It can only be from above, you say. Why do you keep saying that you need to love your neighbor?

Answer: These are the commandments. We must do this in order to correspond with the laws of nature. How to do it? When we are convinced today that otherwise we will not withstand, that we will not survive, then what is left for us?

Question: So do we have to be on the verge of life and death? And then we will begin to understand that we need to treat each other with love?

Answer: You see how simple it is. 🙂

Question: But there is only one moment that we have to be brought to the edge; that is what is scary?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And what about our reason?

Answer: Reason will not help. We do not live by reason, but only by our feelings.

Question: Then the human boundary is not necessarily between life and death, is it? It may be emptiness; it may be depression or some kind of inner cry?

Answer: But this boundary is when one feels hopelessness. And then he begins to realize that it is all about him.

Question: Does the Creator give us this understanding?

Answer: Yes. Or if some group of humanity will take on watering everything with love, watering the whole humanity with love.

Question: Are you saying that we need an example?

Answer: Yes.

Question: The great Kabbalist Baal HaSulam wrote about the last generation. These were his deathbed notes. After all the incomprehensible things he wrote in his Kabbalistic works, he suddenly wrote understandable notes called “The Last Generation.” There he wrote that a group of people should appear who will take on this law of “love your neighbor” and begin to live by it and spread it all over the world.

Do you think that this is not fiction or idealism?

Answer: Time does its own thing. I think that after all humanity will agree, out of desperation to accept this principle of a new life.
