Comment: 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.

Question: You often draw a parallel between waking up from sleep and waking up from the feeling of our artificial, contrived world. Is sleep the correct parallel to spiritual awakening?

Answer: No, it is just a metaphor, nothing more. There is nothing that connects the dream with the feeling of the upper world.

Sleep, like in animals, is just a physiological human need. It is a necessary restructuring of the brain when it stores information, sorts it, and prepares for the next impressions in order to process all information, and translate it from perception to knowledge.

This is a huge job that nature does. We are not doing anything here. But before us, as if various events unfold (only detached from matter) and so they acquire such bizarre forms, nothing more.

There is nothing from the other world in a dream. It is just that those images, those impressions, that we see coming out of our rigid sense organs acquire all kinds of fluctuations.

Comment: You said that if the external image of another person was inside me, then I would love him and somehow justify him. But if I see him from the outside, I immediately look for some flaws in him. However, it happens that a person constantly criticizes his internal qualities and feels remorse.

My Response: This is only if he suffers from them, if they cause negative emotions in him, and not in any other case.

Suppose I was told that I have ugly ears, and hearing this, I begin to suffer. Since then, I do not feel good about my ears, I do not like them. What can I do? It means that such an attitude toward myself was imposed on me; otherwise, I would not have thought about it.

See how a mother treats her child: he may be very ugly, but he is hers! She sees nothing ugly in him because she loves him. As it is said, all transgressions or all flaws are covered by love.

But when a person suffers, then the object of suffering gradually changes from a loved or neutral one to a hated one. So he begins to move from love to hate because the former object of love, which used to give him pleasure, now causes suffering. Therefore his perception is transformed into hatred and dislike. But this happens only on our corporeal level.

On the spiritual level, everything happens depending on the qualities of light.

The will to receive is the first form of every essence. We define the first form as “substance” because we have no attainment in the essence”(Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, “Inner Observation,” Chapter 10, Item 35).

This is about spiritual matter, and not about the inanimate, vegetative, and animate matter of our world.

Question: It is known from physics that the universe is 95% dark matter. It turns out that what we see and study today is practically nothing relative to what exists. Maybe this dark matter is the emanator, the Creator?

Answer: No, the Creator is above all this matter, He is like its essence. Matter itself is not attributed to the emanator. The emanator is what emanates matter.

The essence of matter is the will to receive. This is how the Creator created it.

Comment: Currently, there is no direct evidence of the existence of dark matter, only indirect ones.

My Response: Most of our knowledge about the universe and nature, in general, is based on indirect sensations, proofs, examples, and studies because we are not at the level of what we are investigating.

Comment: Let’s say I see some negative qualities in a friend and understand that they are in me. But at the same time, he sees negative qualities in me and realizes that they are in him. There is such a duality.

My Response: I do not advise messing with this; this is already a philosophy! We do not have enough internal tools to take in the secondary, tertiary, and other sensations. It is impossible. This is the next level of knowledge.

In order to feel this, the light needs to reveal within you its overall control. You yourself cannot understand this with your mind. You do not have to try to understand anything with your brain at all. It will only confuse you.

You need to tune in so that the light creates the sensations of the second, multi-layered level in you. But this second level is not just an enlargement of the first. It is an introduction to the n-dimensional space in which the absence of time, movement, and place immediately makes it closed and round, without beginning or end.

All kinds of earthly measurements, time, distances, higher-lower, more-less, and so on, begin to disappear in it. This cannot be described in our world, in the qualities that a person has at our level. It is impossible to describe.

Question: What is the advantage of feeling endless life?

Answer: The advantage is that our attitude to everything is changing. Let’s say they took you and without asking about anything married you to some woman. They gave you this and that is it, permanently, forever. Now think about how to survive this state.

You can’t push her away, or distance yourself! This is yours. Moreover, this is not something inanimate that you can ignore, but she is constantly with you, in you, next to you.

Therefore, there is only one solution, you need to change so that you feel good and pleasant with this person, otherwise; there is no way out, not to die yourself, nor to kill her, nor to change, nor to run away, nothing.

From this we begin to understand why we are given such a limited, temporary world. If, in addition to our egoism and everything that is here, if we also had a sense of eternity, it would be worse than death.

Question: For what purpose did the Creator create such a space called “our world” and the ability to move in it? All the changes still happen inside our desires, so what is this space where I can move my body and move from one place to another for? What does it give us?

Answer: It does not give us anything. It just seems to us that we are moving.

Question: Even if it only seems to us, still, the Creator, nature, does not create anything without purpose. Is this created for a reason?

Answer: It is in order for us to learn how to ascend from lower degrees of nature to higher ones. We can see even in our technological progress as we develop, and as a result of it we begin to work with higher degrees of nature, with its higher qualities.

As a result of such transformations, we will receive an opportunity to take into account the thing that is at the core of our movements.

Question: In principle, the Creator could have created some kind of reality where we would simply be in a static state and all movement would be only internal. Why do we need externality, even if it only seems to be to me? I do not understand how it helps me to come closer to the qualities of the upper force.

We live in some kind of reality where there is space, time, and motion. People are always traveling somewhere, flying, and moving. What for? It does not change anything internally. Or does it?

Answer: This has very little effect on internal states. We are not yet in such drastic changes to change us with movements of a different type.

There is even an expression: “Change your place, change your luck.” By changing the place, you change your internal conditions. At least, having moved physically to a right environment, you are already under the influence of this environment.

Question: Scientists believe that superhumans once existed in the land of Israel. Could this be true from the point of view of Kabbalah?

Answer: No, there have never been superhumans here who would visit our Earth, who allegedly left cave paintings of spacesuits, or something else. It is all speculation!

But people were close to nature and knew about its internal qualities. They were one with it.

When I was in Colombia, four Indians who lived high in the Andes mountains suddenly came to one of the meetings with me.

They were dressed very interestingly and did not allow us to take photos of them. When they spoke to us, they did not look at us, but instead looked past us. Their gaze was directed only inward.

They said that about a month before my arrival in Colombia, they felt that a special person would visit their country, and they began to seek a meeting with me.

Can you imagine?! They were in the Andes where they have no connection with the world, no electricity or anything. Yet they felt some kind of waves and came to visit me.

It was interesting to communicate with them because a person who feels nature and its laws, in principle, feels the laws of Kabbalah. That is, he lives in the Andes at an altitude of 4,000 meters and feels another person who should come somewhere not far from him. Not far is hundreds of kilometers away.

Comment: But a Kabbalist and such a person are completely different. After all, people who feel nature still have to develop.

My Response: No, that is enough for them. They did not even have to talk, in principle. They approached me, we sat together, exchanged a few phrases, and that was enough for them. Everything else they receive, as they say, through nature, from the air. This is how this information comes to them. There is no need to talk; all of it exists in nature.

Comment: However, they did not come to the attainment that a Kabbalist comes to.

My Response: They attain and feel, just on a very small level. After all, they are in the same nature and feel the forces that are behind it.

Question: But do they still need to develop to the awareness that a Kabbalist achieves?

Answer: Maybe they do not need it. They represent a less developed egoism, and therefore they must correct themselves at its level, nothing more. Who cares? All the same, we all connect together into one single whole, a single desire. They make up a small weak part in this one single desire.

My part in this desire is more egoistic. So what? As a result, we will all organically connect into one common whole, into one body, and everyone will feel everything in exactly the same way, as our common body.

Question: Why do we see our world as a physical world? Actually, you say that all this is a field, sparks of light that gather together.

Answer: Our world is forces that affect us and give us a sense of the picture inside us. This is how they are imprinted on the retina of our eyes and in our brain.

It is a light-sensitive material that senses the field of light, its greater or lesser intensity, and thus reproduces a picture. That is, these are fluctuations of light, and you extrapolate or decipher the resulting picture in your own way.

If you bring a small child or a dog into a room, for them it will be a completely different world than the one you see. You see walls, ceiling, paintings, and whatever, and they do not see that. It all gathers together for you in a picture of some interior, but not for them.

That means that you decipher the picture according to your Reshimot. But in fact, it is just the effect of the light on you, its particles, influences, and fields of various intensity. There is nothing else!

Question: But why do we have exactly this kind of perception and not another?

Answer: Because it is the best one to move from to spiritual perception where you will perceive any impressions only to the extent of greater or lesser ability to bestow. And now you perceive it in a greater or lesser ability to enjoy.

Let’s say that I am looking at the painting of fish right now. Why do I sense them? Because they depict in me, on my desire to enjoy, all kinds of impressions: pleasant or unpleasant, desirable or undesirable, fear or joy. From these states, the picture is assembled for me.

I do not see yellow, purple, blue, water, fish, and so on. I see some impressions that are more pleasant or less pleasant for my ego, and only then do I decipher them.

All our work is to transition from the perception of reality in egoistic sense organs to the perception of reality in altruistic sense organs.

This is the whole difference between the feeling of this world and the feeling of the upper world, between our current perception of reality in which we live in a lie, away from the Creator, and without any perception where we are, to understand, feel, and know where we exist, and within whom and with whom we reside.

This change of perception is made by the effort of a person. But beforehand there must be a desire to change our perception because it will happen only if we desire it. Therefore we must make an effort to imagine the upper reality, to create its image in ourselves as the Kabbalistic books speak about, and to build such relationships among us in the group.

Then during the study when we read about this upper reality, we will demand that a force from above come and open to us the organs of sensation, these floodgates of sensations, that we would reveal where we really are and not remain in this false, imaginary, far-fetched picture that appears to us today in our muddied organs of sensation. Thus, all of our work is to give correct definitions of what is called true reality.

Each of us, with all his might and as much as possible, should try to imagine, draw, paint, or form for himself a kind of supreme image in which we are all united in our desires together and with the Creator so there is no difference between us, but within us and between us reigns the Creator, the quality of bestowal and mutual love.

There is nothing but this state; there are no imaginary pictures, and we ask from this reality that it affect us and manifest in us. This should be the result of our efforts.

This is exactly what a person should constantly strive for during the reading of The Book of Zohar and other Kabbalistic books. And this is why these books speak about the true reality. Otherwise we could read books written in a different style, or there would be no point in reading them at all.

Therefore when we read about the upper reality in these books, we must try to achieve it. As Baal HaSulam writes in the Introduction to the Study of the Ten Sefirot, Item 155 “…through the yearning and the great desire to understand what they are learning, they awaken upon themselves the Lights that surround their souls—from the only existing state, and thus they correct themselves.
