In spiritual work, the main thing is an inner feeling. Gradually, everything is transforming. Physical meetings are becoming less frequent and virtual meetings are becoming more frequent so that people feel each other more through big screens.

A person may still need some kind of visual representation, but in general, he will move to virtual perception and through virtual to spiritual.

Spiritual perception is no longer connected with the body; whether you live or die, are far away or close, in the same or in different worlds, depends only on whether the attaining person who is in contact with you covers these areas or not.

If he feels you only through the body, then his adapter includes only five corporeal sensory organs. If you are in the sphere of his “radar,” then he catches you, and if you are outside of his five senses, then he does not catch you.

But for a person who acquires spiritual senses, this problem does not exist. It does not matter to him whether you are here or already without a body in another world because he is always focused on the essence of this object, and the essence is eternal, it does not die.

I hope we will come to such a state where we begin to feel that our friends all over the world simply exist together with us. They either live far away or have already disposed of their outer shell and are only in the spiritual state; it will not matter at all!

Like people who live with each other for a long time and in general no longer see the exterior of a person, for them he is a kind of an inner image. It is the same here. I am sure this will happen.

Our perception of the world and the feeling of life is contained in desire. Desire is the only thing that was created. It lives in itself and feels everything within itself.

It feels in two formats. Part of the picture is presented to it as itself and the other part is in the form of the outside world.
This is how we perceive ourselves and the environment in our split desire, internal and external, us and the surrounding.

The picture of reality is divided into circles that expand from the inside out: soul, body, immediate environment, distant environment. In fact, all this is sensation and it exists in me, inside my desire.

Conclusions:

• If I want to change the world, then I need to change my desire. The sensation of the world depends on it, and in general the world is what is felt in it.
• The world that seems to me external is an illusion. It’s all in my desire, only I don’t feel it right now.
• I relate to part of myself as something alien and extraneous, to nature and humanity, and, as a result of this attitude, I suffer. I myself do not know what harm I am doing to myself by the chimera of the outside world.

This is a mistake, an optical illusion! It would seem that strangers are in front of me who can be neglected.

But in reality, I simply do not realize that I am thereby bringing troubles and problems to myself. But my whole life is filled with this. What a terrible, distorted perception of reality.

The science of Kabbalah is designed to unite my shattered parts. I am not capable of it myself, but I can ask the light to come and correct my soul. Then I will see a single reality, a single desire, and in it a single Kli and a single light.

On the way to this goal, we try to direct ourselves to unity. By reading The Book of Zohar, I simply have to constantly bring myself to the feeling of peace within myself. Whatever is said, it’s all in me, all these are my forces, desires, and qualities.

All the spiritual worlds are in a person, there is nothing outside of him. There is no need to divide the world into internal and external. All this is one Kli.

With this in mind, we cause ourselves to be exposed to light, which connects the parts of our perception with each other.

After the creation of Malchut of the world of Ein Sof, nothing else changed. This is the only form in reality, the Malchut of Ein Sof, in which desire and light are in perfect fusion, harmony, and unity according to the principle: “He and His name are one.”

All other states represent a kind of cover of this perfection. They hide it from us and therefore are called “worlds (Olamot),” which means “concealments (Halamot),” the ten concealing Sefirot that as if absorb the light and conceal it from us who are in this world.

Therefore, if we want to get closer to the world of Ein Sof, we must learn to look correctly at ourselves and at the environment, at the world we are in, over and over again so that this picture takes an increasing similarity to the world of Ein Sof. This means that “He and His name are one.”

As far as possible, we find out who “He” is, what “His name” is, how and with what details of perception, to solder them into one. This is how we move up the degrees of the ladder of spiritual worlds back to Ein Sof.

From here it becomes clear that the stairway and the worlds are not outside, but inside. All these veils of Ein Sof, in which we are now, are layered in ourselves. And they are needed so that we gradually reveal where we are; we reveal ourselves by our own efforts. The more reason I gain, the greater my excitement and inspiration, the more desires I will gain, and I will develop myself to become a resident of the future world, the world of Ein Sof.

This is why we are given the environment of this world. If a person uses all his aspects and elements correctly, then everything is in his power. And if not, then, according to the level of his development, he is under pressure: crises, wars, problems, and disasters of various kinds. Together they clamp him “in a vise” and direct him in the right direction so that he begins to build this world for himself in ever greater similarity with Ein Sof.

Who Decides: Desire Or The Light?

Question: In The Study of the Ten Sefirot, it is said that at the beginning of creation in the upper light there was neither beginning nor end. How can we understand this?

Answer: There was no time; that is, nothing was changing.

In order for time to appear, it is necessary for the desire to feel itself in some state and these states would begin to change and give the desire its qualities. Then the desire will begin to separate one state from another, and a feeling of change from the first state to the second, and to the third will appear in it. This is what characterizes time.

If there were no changes, we would not feel time. That is, it is a subjective feeling of each of us.

In principle, time is a change of states. Therefore, there is no time in spirituality; there is only a change of states.

In our world, we feel time because our body is constantly moving somewhere both internally and externally. It is being influenced and it is influencing. We feel all these changes as the framework of time in which we exist.

In other words, in spirituality, if I do not do some actions myself, consciously, then my states do not change, and therefore there is no time.

In our corporeal world, it doesn’t matter whether I do something or not; changes still occur instinctively and unconsciously, i.e., they are embedded automatically. This is why there is a sense of time in our body.

These five lights are the light that the Creator created on the first day. Adam was watching it from the end of the world to its end (Zohar for All, “The Rose“).

Question: Why does it say “from the end of the world to its end” and not from beginning to end?

Answer: In our perception, we are between the qualities of judgment and mercy, between two lines. Our whole world fits within the boundaries of these borderline forms.

And therefore, in this context, we cannot see the world from beginning to end. In each state, the world is limited by the boundaries of our Kli, which we are able to discern.

Question: The entire reality is light and Kli, Creator and creation, the other and me. Why does The Zohar seem so complicated and confusing?

Answer: The Zohar seems complicated and confusing to us because we have not reached a unified picture. We have “me” and “the world,” my desires, my thoughts, and the forces operating in this entire reality, and the fulfillments in it seem distant from each other and shattered. Therefore, this force of shattering gives me an extremely complex, confusing picture. It is because I do not see all this in unity, and separation brings me confusion.

As much as we can see, but not in the mind because it will not help, rather in feelings, that is, in more corrected Kelim (desires), all these details of perception combined together: me, the other, the Creator, the study, the group, the environment, everything that exists, to the extent that I wish to link them together, these efforts will bring me light. The light will lead me to the contemplation of a more unified picture, and all the elements of the picture will gradually begin to connect.

From the connection of all these opposites, which become supportive and connected with each other, the entire wisdom comes.

The more distant and opposite all these details of the picture of reality used to be, which I now see connected together both supporting and complementing each other, the deeper I attain the thought of creation, the program of creation, and the process that we are going through.

From these opposites, I begin to live, to feel this amazing wisdom, to connect together the upper governance, to correlate it with one force.

All this is a result of the influence of light on my shattered desires and thoughts, when I want it to connect them together.

Question: You often emphasize that dissemination is more important to us than to the world since we build ourselves through it. Yet sometimes it is the other way around and you say that it is more important for the world. What is dissemination for?

Answer: Since all of us, all of humanity, are interconnected by invisible threads and tied into one single system, we need to disseminate. This system exists initially, does not disappear anywhere, and does not change; it only requires our greater active participation now.

Therefore we tell people that we must nourish this system and take an active part in it. That is, we must engage in internal and external connection with each other so that the external helps the internal one. This is mainly internal connection, but we need the external one to bolster us and to create the prerequisites for the more internal connection. This is how we go from simple to complex, from external to internal.

The whole method of dissemination and our work on ourselves lies in this. There is nothing else. The wisdom of Kabbalah tells us about the system in which we are connected together, how this system works, and how we gradually reveal this connection between us.

When we enter into the work of this system and begin to open and feel it, we suddenly see how our world dissolves. In fact, it does not exist; there is only this system of connection. No more computers with modems, no telephones; there is a direct connection between us, and everything else has melted away like morning fog.

Question: Does it mean that we don’t need dissemination just to keep a person busy so that he does not fool around?

Answer: No, nature forces us to it, and we must move to the new degree. This is the next degree of all that is. Our nature will disappear. Anyway, as many physicists and psychologists write today, it exists within us, in our sensory organs. Now our sensory organs will go through the stages of a certain development and rise to the next level where they begin to feel exactly this universe, this matrix.

Dissemination is the most necessary work that helps us to unite. Caring for others unites us.

Question: If we open the curtain and remove all the tinsel that people are attracted to, if we completely take away everything that they chase all their lives, then what is left in their lives? People need some goal, don’t they?

Answer: Then you would have to clean out this entire world and leave only the inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature, and humans. You need to let this person live in a calm way, sustaining existence in his body while directing everything else to the connection between people so he would start sensing the upper world in this connection, the true nature, true forces.

Once he enters the sensation of the upper world, he will lose the sensation of the lower layers: the inanimate, vegetative, and animate. This world, this cosmos. will disappear for him since all of this exists only in his still immature consciousness.

A person will rise to the level of forces. It is the only thing that exists rather than what is depicted in the form of some images: here is a wall, here is a table, and so forth. He will see that all this does not exist because it does not exist in the world of forces.

These are all configurations of forces in relation to my animal senses. When I rise to the level of other senses, the senses of forces, then all of these will disappear. This is why the word “Olam” (world) comes from the word “Neelam (disappearing).”

Overall, this is what we have to do. Why should we vegetate at this level when we already can rise to the next one? After all, there is nothing worse than this world! Why would we stay?

When you stay here beyond the time needed for your maturation and ascent, then you begin to live through dreadful times. We become an overripe fruit, like a fetus that exceeds its term in the mother’s womb. This is very dangerous for us.

Now we will start experiencing such forces—just hold on! They will be pressing on us in order to push us out, to birth us at the next level. We have to help them ourselves!

Question: There are different calendars for measuring time: the Gregorian, Chinese, Jewish, etc. Why does everyone use exactly the same calendar all over the world?

Answer: It was simply accepted by the international committee. But did the Chinese live by this calendar, or India, or South America? No! If you take any of the Arab newspapers, a year written there is calculated from their prophet, not from the Christian one.

Jews also do not measure time by these dates. What is measured by them? This is only the external side. I lived for thirty years among Orthodox Jews. They measure nothing according to the usual calendar. Absolutely everything is measured only by the solar-lunar calendar: months relative to the Moon, years relative to the Sun, time relative to sunrise and sunset. That’s it! And there are no problems with this.

Holidays do not move anywhere. Everything is absolutely clear because in the Jewish calendar the Sun and the Moon completely coincide with each other. Therefore, it is clearly known on which days there may be which holidays. Let’s say Purim was on the fifteenth of the month of Adar. Then on the fifteenth of next month is Passover. Everything is absolutely clear, no problems.

The calendar has been around for thousands of years and it has not moved anywhere. There is no need to change to new time or old time; there is nothing to do because it is composed in accordance with nature. not just with the Sun or just with the Moon, but with both heavenly bodies that control us. Between them is the Earth.

The Sun shines through the Earth at the Moon, and thus we have phases of the Moon. That’s it; everything can be measured. You have no idea how accurately the calendar is compiled, astronomical hours, minutes, seconds, angles, etc. I can show you a book of ancient astronomical tables and with what accuracy they are compiled!

Question: But people could not take it from the outside. Can it be that there was some kind of internal record?

Answer: On the one hand, they took it from the inside, from their understanding of nature. But on the other hand they mastered all the dimensions because people needed a clock, for example to arrange a meeting. “You and I will meet at three o’clock in the afternoon.” Therefore the clock has always existed.

Comment: If you look at how society as a whole has developed, then, in principle, people have always been busy plowing fields, etc. They always engaged in physical labor.

My Response: And now the work is different; it flows into spiritual work. We can do everything else effortlessly with the help of automation, machinery, 3D printers, etc. so much so that it will not be difficult for anyone.

People move into a completely different environment, into a different production process—a spiritual one.

If we can do everything for ourselves with the help of information, media, all kinds of volumetric printers, interaction with each other, and everything else, then can you imagine where our development is pulling us? In general, we are moving to a completely different way of existence. We are moving away from matter.

Soon this matter should disappear altogether. Everything will pass into the world of forces. You will live at the level of the forces that bind you to others. And all kinds of material volumes will not take up space in your senses. The sensory organs will become more and more aware of the power manifestations of interconnections at the level of forces, not at the level of objects.
