Question: How do Kabbalists view supernatural phenomena in nature?

Answer: There are no supernatural phenomena. What does “supernatural” mean? From which point does “natural” begin and from which point does “above nature” begin? Everything that is within the framework of our egoistic phenomena is called natural because we are in this nature. And everything that is higher than our egoistic properties is called supernatural.

All nature, whatever it may be, that is reflected in our ideas, in our properties, forces, qualities, and feelings is divided into the natural, that which is in us now, and the supernatural, that which is not in us yet today but tomorrow will be. Or some people already have it and for them it is natural, while others do not yet and for them it is still unusual. Everything is determined relative to a person.

Question: Why does the special force contained in The Book of Zohar allow a person to reveal his true state and wake up faster?

Answer: Because The Book of Zohar causes us to look at the upper world through our world, see it in us, lay upon ourselves all the objects of the upper world, and be able to perceive everything that really exists. Now we perceive only a small part of the creation that is revealed to us. But how can we attain the hidden part?

Through this world, The Book of Zohar reveals the external world to me, and then I feel that what I perceived before was really just a dream.

Question: Our distorted perception of the world gives us the feeling that the world is outside of us. Does a person actually reveal all these levels inside?

Answer: In myself and only in myself. Today we feel the world inside of us.

Do you exist? I feel that you exist. Whether you really exist outside of me, I do not know. This is a question that science, psychology, and philosophy engage in.

Kabbalah answers it very simply and The Book of Zohar allows you to see it and feel it with your own eyes.

Question: When I was looking for information about miracles, the number seven appeared in all the lists. For example: seven wonders of the world, etc. Why exactly seven? What is this number magical?

Answer: Seven is a magic number that emphasizes we are talking about something above nature.

Right, left, front, back, top, bottom—six sides in which we are enclosed as in a cube, and the seventh one is beyond it. That is why number seven is so symbolic. It defines something that is beyond our world.

Question: You said that the signs in our world simply demonstrate on a lower level what has already happened above. What does it mean?

Answer: Not only what happened, but what may be.

In fact, it is said: “Do not enchant and do not guess,” because you can know the future, but it is impossible to fully predict it. After all, Nostradamus and other soothsayers did not just write their prophecies in veiled forms, they themselves do not clearly understand what they wanted to say. There are some premonitions, but nothing more.

They sense what will happen at the level of our world. Very rarely, can a person without Kabbalistic training feel the upper world. There are practically no such people. Only a few. But they also become Kabbalists, only without prior training.

Just as there is a self-taught inventor who was illuminated by the brilliance of thought, he was given some idea from above, and through him this idea was revealed in the world. Some people have been working on this for decades until they come to some serious invention.

We are talking about what we ourselves can reach through systematic study, application of the laws of nature, and the advice that Kabbalists who have passed this path have left for us. We are not interested in talking about what will happen somewhere in someone in some way since we cannot control this.

That is, Kabbalah calls not to live in the momentary moment, but to direct yourself to where you can truly realize your eternal part.

Question: Why, despite the desire to realize ourselves, do we use only 2% of our brain and 98% remain, so to say, free?

Answer: The point is that we do not know ourselves. We use 2% of the brain because it only serves our animate part. And as soon as we begin to reveal the spiritual part—our soul—and develop it, we will need all the remaining 98%.

In principle, we have enormous reserves of memory and internal properties. We simply cannot imagine how each of us is infinite in possibilities. But we do not use it in our world.

Imagine a simple peasant who lived in a village a hundred years ago who herded cows and existed at that level. He had no television, no radio, nothing.

And now this peasant has developed, lives in Manhattan, works in a large company, travels around the world, sees, hears, understands, and uses everything. His brain works a little differently than that of the shepherd whose brain was at the level of the cows he grazed.

That is, the brain always serves the desire. Therefore, if our desires are constantly raised to the level of the Creator, then naturally, the brain will open its reserves in accordance with them. So, instead of two percent, we will use a lot more.

In humanity, there is even a desire to explore the brains of great people to find what was so interesting about them. We cannot understand this because we do not know that the brain is triggered by desires. And when a person dies, desires disappear.

Therefore, we do not understand why their brains worked in a special way. After all, their desires launched huge layers of consciousness, analysis, and memory.

Question: Kabbalists say that all of humanity is in a state of sleep today. Isn’t the state of eternal harmony illusory, isn’t it a dream?

Answer: By exploring our current state and developing with the help of Kabbalah, we come closer to the spiritual state and begin to see two worlds—our world from the side and the spiritual world in which we become clothed.

When we see how they match each other, merge, and form one common space, that is, we see the cause and the consequence of everything we go through, we have no illusions about the spiritual world. We have a question: What is next? This is because the spiritual world is a world of development.

We should develop to a state where we fully attain it, connect with it, fill ourselves with it, and fill it with us. This is called adhesion with the Creator. Moreover, the spiritual world, including this world, is within me and I am completely within both of them. Achieving such a state is called final correction, it is the complete awakening from this illusion, from this dream.

That is, we see the objective of what we have to achieve—final correction (Gmar Tikkun), complete equivalence, complete adhesion with the Creator (or nature). I reveal that it is reasonable, eternal, and perfect because according to this I myself become eternal, sensible, and perfect.

Then I get an absolutely clear question to the Creator, to this common nature that created me: “What is next?” But there is no answer to it. This question does not have an answer. Because all of us, absolutely all people on Earth, must reach final correction. Only after that, when we all correct ourselves, the next perspective in this development will be revealed to us.

That is, Kabbalah does not evade the answer, it reveals to a person what may happen, and what is next we do not know.

Comment: Zuckerberg is creating a metaverse. This is a digital world that gives a sense of the real, physical presence of a virtual space.

There will be an understanding of the world through touch. A thin robotic skin has already been developed that allows you to create the effect of physical interaction in digital reality, not only to see, but also to touch objects from digital reality.

People will be able to move and communicate regardless of physical distances, schoolchildren will be able to teleport to other countries, epochs, write with the power of thought, and so on.

Zuckerberg wants to create a world in which a billion people will reallocate. Would you like to live in such a world?

My Response: No. I dream of another universe, a spiritual one, where people will migrate not because they will have such particularly sensitive skin and connect themselves to many machines that create reality for them, they will, lying or sitting, imagine that they fly there.

And why?! We must first define the criteria: what happiness means, the meaning of life, what we should lead a person to. And based on these criteria, build universes.

Do we want to give Zuckerberg the opportunity to earn another hundred billion? Let him earn!

Question: Wouldn’t a person be better off in this universe? We see the world around us.

Answer: Of course, he will be better. I’ll put a man in front of the screen. I will give him the opportunity to watch everything he can, everything he wants, and he will exist in it. He won’t want to come out of there. He will be inside it more and more, all the time. And what’s the point? To spend time comfortably?

Comment: Probably, yes, to feel good and just get out of this world.

My Response: Which means, I need a pill that I put under my tongue and it slowly dissolves there for, say, a day, and I feel good. How isn’t it a drug?

There I create some illusions on the screens around me in the room where I am. Here dinosaurs are dancing and there Thumbelina is slaughtering some villain. And then what?

Question: And when you talk about the spiritual reality that you want to create, what do you mean?

Answer: There I rise to the level of the upper force of nature, to the level of the Creator! That’s something entirely different!

Question: So you are giving everyone the opportunity to rise to this level? Is this called spiritual reality?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And if a person starts building something with this thought, is this thought good?

Answer: Sure. It’s not just a thought. It raises and really brings a person to a new reality.

Question: Is it possible to build a virtual reality that meets these thoughts of yours?

Answer: You don’t even have to build it, you have to create it within yourself. Physically, mechanically, technically, or with a computer you can’t create it.

Question: So here it depends on the person. What does he need to do in order to start building the reality that you are talking about, the spiritual one?

Answer: Not to depend on anyone. Turn off your computer. Don’t get involved in these imaginary realities. Busy yourself with your personal entry. Without changing the skin, and in this skin, in which you exist, occupy yourself with entering this real reality. That’s all.

Question: What should a person define in himself? What prevents him from entering this space?

Answer: Lack of inner desire.

Question: Why is it missing?

Answer: This is a question for the Creator.

Question: So he should ask the Creator the question?

Answer: If he needs it.

Question: And if it is not necessary, then it is not necessary?

Answer: Yes. He has his own desires, everything he did in his computers for example.

Question: So you will not be able to force a person into this spirituality?

Answer: I’ve never addressed anyone in that way.

Comment: Zuckerberg will be able to bring people there, he will lure them.

My Response: He will manipulate, and therefore there are many questions for him. And there can’t be many questions for me, I’m not manipulating anyone.

Question: Is this the right approach? Without violence?

Answer: Yes. It depends only on the person.

Comment: Let’s hope that a person will choose a spiritual reality after all.

My Response: But not immediately. This is a spiritual reality. The only one that exists. And our world—what we feel, ordinary people—is not a real reality! This is what is reflected in our artificial egoism. And therefore it will disappear.

Question: Modern science makes discoveries related to processes in the human brain. How do you explain, in the context of egoism, that neural connections form a person’s behavioral principles?

Answer: But this is only an external manifestation of what we see. Egoism itself is a spiritual property of a person, inner forces in us. There are even more inner forces behind them, which we cannot define at all or even feel in any way. We feel ourselves only in some external manifestation.

I feel my body, warmth, movement, and so on, and that is how I perceive myself. However, I cannot attain my inner essence yet. This is how we exist. Egoism is our most inner force.

The upper force, which is absolute bestowal and love, has created within itself the property opposite to it, egoism. This is why we exist in this way.

Question: Baal HaSulam writes in his articles that egoism is not the same for everyone. There is gross egoism when a person uses it without hesitation and there is a veiled, more developed one, when a person realizes that it is bad and sort of acts secretly. What is the difference, in principle?

Answer: If a person realizes his egoism, then this is good, you can talk to him, discuss that; he can come to some kind of decision: is it right or not, should he be in this property or not?

He can determine that it is evil and try to get rid of it in some way. He sees how this property harms him and makes him rise above others. And this is his whole life.

He begins to understand what he spends precious seconds of existence in this world on. And what if he treated others differently, in a completely opposite manner? Perhaps in doing so he would find such a form of sensation of life which in our world is not perceived by us at all. After all, we are constantly tuned in order to influence, control, rule, and absorb.

And if I set myself up differently, I might be free. Free! First I would not be pressed from behind by this terrible force that guides me like this. I would feel myself in a free space, independent, not connected to anything.

I would begin to see everything around me in a different way – not from the point of view of what threatens my power, self-preservation, security: what should I take possession of, what should I suppress, absorb, crush under myself, and so on, where is everything around in the world? A person only looks like this, initially. Look at young children, how cruel they are, how they treat each other. This is our nature.

And if I began to relate to the world in a different way, I would see a completely different picture of the world around us, which is a consequence of my attitude to it. Now I selectively see only what is good or bad for me. Bad, I have to do something about it; good, I can enjoy it.

But if I had a different attitude to the environment around me, I would see circumstances, objects, and actions of a different type, a completely different world that is called the upper world in Kabbalah.

That is, the perception of the world and what happens to us depends on our focus; the way we look at the world is how the world appears to us. Therefore we need to change ourselves.

People often ask me: “What is the spiritual world? How can we depict it?” It is very simple. This world is our inner sensation; it seems to us that something is happening outside.

But in fact, everything that happens from the vast universe with all the stars and up to what happens on the surface of the Earth in inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature, and with people, all this is depicted in my desire to enjoy. If I could disconnect my egoistic desire, I would not feel myself or the outside world.

This entire picture revealed inside my desire to receive in its original form, created by the Creator without my work and corrections but only due to the influence from above, is called “this world.” Of course, we feel changes all the time, but they are changes within our desire. This is why it seems to us that the world is moving. In fact, nothing is moving but our impression that changes inside the desire to receive because the desire changes.

This is not the case with the spiritual world. In the spiritual world, I am not only impressed by the upper influence, but I myself act at the same time. If this entire world is the result of the action of the upper force, then the spiritual world is the result of the interaction, the connection between my action and the action of the Creator. The more similar I am to the Creator, the more I reveal the spiritual world as the measure of my equivalence with the upper force.
