A Two-Dimensional World

537Question: The topic of hidden dimensions around us is widely discussed in social networks now. Many assumptions are made, based on evidence or not. What are the hidden dimensions from the point of view of Kabbalah?

Answer: There is only one hidden dimension that exists around us, the quality of bestowal, which we cannot simply emanate from ourselves. We live in an egoistic dimension, which is to attract to ourselves everything considered good, necessary, and useful to us. And the opposite, the quality of bestowal, is absolutely unknown to us. If we could add it to our quality of reception, then we would be able to clearly depict the full picture of the world.

Question: That is, a person does not feel these dimensions at the current moment?

Answer: He more or less feels the dimension of reception to a very limited extent. But the dimension of bestowal, no.

Question: Can we say that this is a two-dimensional world?

Answer: It is a two-dimensional world and no more than that: the world of reception and the world of bestowal. If they complement each other, then from them a person gets an n-dimensional space. Everything is felt only relative to a person.

Question: Can there be a world with dimensions where I am not?

Answer: No, it exists only subjectively, relative to you.

Question: Could there be a world with dimensions where all people are good and everything is corrected?

Answer: If they make it that way.

Question: So, everything still depends on man?

Answer: Certainly. Man is in the center.

Above The Speed Of Light

746.02Question: We learn that all desires in us are initiated by the upper light and transferred through the Reshimo (information record). In quantum physics, the so-called informational interactions without any carrier are now very actively examined. Some of these influences are transmitted even above the speed of light, practically instantaneously. Is it possible to say that the same mechanism exists in the transmission of the Reshimo?

Answer: That there is an interaction above the speed of light, I think can be understood even by our mind. In principle, if our universe, this gigantic space, could not instantly interact with each other from its different points, then this system would not function. It would simply not exist. There would be chaos everywhere.

So, we study this so-called chaos and see more and more clear laws in it. Moreover, such that we will grasp and understand what is hidden there. But nonetheless, these are laws! After all, laws are interactions between various causes, consequences, and conditions. Of course, they exist above the speed of light.

But in Kabbalah, instantaneous speed is not considered something inconceivable because it works not with matter, but with intentions and thoughts. It is an absolutely different space. There is nothing there that is restricted by matter, time, or movement.

Question: There is a long-standing dispute between scientists about short-range and long-range actions. Do you think that the correct approach is action at a distance, when the action is transmitted instantaneously to all parts?

Answer: Any small action evokes one instant reaction in all parts of creation. We have to nevertheless admit that, based on our practice of observing the cosmos, as we see that it is some incomprehensible small part. Maybe it is because we do not see the full picture. But this is only our initial knowledge. What can we talk about here?! We observe only the mechanical part of the universe, inanimate nature. Where is the rest of it? All this we have yet to be revealed.

But the fact that the whole system of nature is interconnected, Kabbalah talks about this from the first line. Kabbalah talks about the creation of the world, the creation of the universe, the creation of all matter. That it all comes from one root and these are all the forces of dissemination, which are in full connection and interaction with each other.

To Perceive The World As It Is

214Question: Can we say that collective consciousness is a qualitatively new level and Kabbalah is engaged in teaching people to reach a new level of perception of reality?

Answer: No, I would not say that, because in this case the consciousness should be completely the opposite of the earthly one.

If we all receive everything within ourselves and in our primordial natural properties feel this reflection, as, for example, on a photographic film, then the Kabbalistic perception is completely different.

It remains by itself, and the person who cancels his egoism and can enter into the perception of reality without disturbing it, feels it as it is. That is, not in the egoistic properties, but precisely in the degree of similarity of its properties to all possible properties and actions that occur outside of it.

Kabbalah comprehends the world that does not pass through our senses. A person, developing himself, makes special efforts on himself in order to begin to feel the Kabbalistic world, to be able to enter a state where he is absolutely not an egoist and perceives everything not in himself, but outside of himself. In practice, he is removed from any interaction with the outside world.

Does the world around you exist by itself? Exists. I perceive it in myself, which means that I perceive it egoistically. We build our sciences on the basis of what we perceive, either by ourselves or with the help of devices we invent.

And Kabbalah says: “No, let us perceive the world as it is.” First of all, we need to reach a state when we, annul ourselves, begin to feel as if we do not exist, and, consequently, begin to feel the true world around us. And as we annul ourselves step by step, we begin to feel everything that happens in that world. This is the whole science of Kabbalah.

Going Beyond The Limits Of Earthly Sensations

709Question: The issue of aging has been of great concern to humanity all the time. A person in his youth and old age, are they two different people or one?

Answer: Whether we are young or old, alive or dead, these are just our depictions of ourselves. Of course, any reasoning is possible here, but until we rise above the egoism in which we feel ourselves and our world, we will not be able to correctly recognize what other possibilities there are to feel.

Question: That is, I depict myself as young, and after a while as old. Yet, I do not feel that way. Is this feeling imposed on me?

Answer: Yes, it is imposed. But still, it is imposed inside of you.

Question: Who imposes it?

Answer: The upper force imposes the entire picture of this reality on us. Each of us has his own picture imposed on him. And this is how we act.

However, at the same time, there are people who are given the opportunity to change this picture. It depends on how they work with it and this is where the interaction between people and their mutual development begins.

Question: What is the purpose of imposing this picture?

Answer: For a person to rise above it.

Question: All the people?

Answer: Eventually, all of them.

Question: Is this why we are given the feeling of the state of life and death?

Answer: Yes, of course. After all, they do not really exist either. However, they are given in order for a person to rise above and go beyond them.

In The Field Of The Upper Light

537Question: You say that the information field that surrounds us is analogous to the upper light, which cannot be diminished to the level of the physical field. Are the concepts of information field and upper light identical?

Answer: By light, we mean the quality of bestowal. It is a positive quality that exists in nature along with the negative, like plus and minus. According to the science of Kabbalah, receiving and bestowal are the cornerstones of our world. From this, all pluses and minuses in fields, particles, in all inanimate, vegetative, and animate material come.

If along with the quality of receiving, which initially exists and develops in us according to the program of evolutionary development in accordance with the world surrounding us, which is developing as well, we will be able also to develop a positive quality of bestowal, mutual, and good connection, not for oneself, but exactly to make our connection equal and uniform, then we are included in the true filed, in which all nature exists.

We will be able to explore it in the measure of equivalence with it, in correspondence with it. But for this, it is necessary to add an altruistic component to our egoistic nature.

Question: It turns out that the light is a part of this field, right?

Answer: The light and the field are the same. When we talk about the influence of the field on us, we say that the light affects us, i.e., the force of the field. Obviously, it is not a physical light, but the force of bestowal and love. It is like a special radiation that fills the entire universe and all its levels, including those above the physical.

We need to reveal this field and then we will understand the whole system, all the secret processes that exist in nature, which are currently hidden from us.

The Earth—Resonator Of Our Thoughts

746.01Comment: Our planet Earth is a very complex system that has its own kind of consciousness. It reacts to our thoughts and actions.

My Response: All of them, by the way. The inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels of nature also react to us and to our thoughts. We just do not feel it.

Question: The Earth is a very complicated, complex system connected to the entire cosmos, right down to man. Maybe we can use this example to show all these complex interactions?

Answer: In my view, the Earth is a huge antenna, a resonating ball, that perceives our qualities, changes, and influences that resonate into open space.

By this, we have a huge impact on the whole world, on the whole universe, because our activities are on a level higher than nature. We do not feel the direct effects of our thoughts and desires, but it seems to me that they are incredibly big, powerful, and unfortunately, destructive.

Perception In The Corrected Qualities

608.02Question: Usually, science divides consciousness into the subconsciousness and the supra-consciousness. What does Kabbalah think about this?

Answer: In Kabbalah, there is only one way of perception, the absolutely accurate attainment in our corrected qualities.

Obviously, these qualities are different and are graduated on the same egoistic scale: to the extent that we can rise above our egoism, we can discern the Kabbalistic space. It is almost the same as in our world.

In our world, there is an egoistic consciousness. Everything that we feel in it, we somehow evaluate, describe, and from this our sciences originate.

However, if we change our egoistic consciousness to an altruistic one by exiting ourselves, (without disturbing the field around us with our presence, meaning how much, while being in it, we feel it, and not ourselves), from this our information about the upper space is formed. This is the subject of the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

No Man—No World

928Question: Three-dimensional space plus time, do these four dimensions exist or are they an illusion? Are they there or not?

Answer: This is the illusion of our structure and that is why we feel space this way and divide it this way.

Question: Why are we given this illusion?

Answer: We cannot exist in an open space in which there is no basis for measurement, for the expression of something. Therefore, the three axes and the fourth, which is time, are what we need in order to talk about our state at all.

Question: But these three axes, in principle, characterize the current position of a person in space. The fourth axis is time. There is a past and a future. Do they even exist or not?

Answer: They exist in relation to a person. Everything is only in us, just like these axes. And what is outside of us, we cannot say.

Question: If I remember the past or think about the future, is it something that affects me in the present moment?

Answer: Naturally. In fact, no time exists. This is purely our subjective feeling, and we divide it into the past, present, and future.

Question: Then I am in the past; is it my illusion that I am in the present and this is how I feel, and I feel this way?

Answer: We always measure one thing relative to the other.

Question: Did dinosaurs even exist?

Answer: We cannot talk about what existed and what does not exist now, because it is all about a person’s feeling. A person makes excavations, takes out some bones from there, takes them for dinosaur bones, makes up their skeletons. Everything is beautiful, good. But this is all about our perception of the world. We cannot imagine anything other than the past, present, and future, and the person who observes all this attributes some vectors to these states.

Question: If everything is characterized in relation to a person, then in principle, he can move from place to place, change places, and in general everything revolves around him? Can we say that it is not man who is on the earth, but the earth and the solar system that revolves around him?

Answer: No. Everything is in the person, in his sensation. No man—no world.

Kabbalistic Approach To Perceiving The Reality

214Question: What is included in the individual consciousness and what is included in the collective one?

Answer: Individual and collective consciousness are usually considered from the point of view of psychology and disclosure of reality. In Kabbalah we are dealing with somewhat different things. Here we must change our primordial natural properties and give them a completely different possibility of perception.

Then it turns out that people who can change their perception of reality, that is, receive reality unperturbed by their egoism, perceive it as it is. The rest of the people, born in egoism, receive a reality that passes through their selfish desires. Accordingly, it is modeled in them, and through this modulation, it is perceived by a person according to how he wants to see it.

So, the difference is very big. All scientists and all existing sciences are in an egoistic reality, and naturally Kabbalists do not have a common field of communication with them due to completely different conditions of perception. Therefore, it is impossible to talk about something in general.

Any science is not just an individual comprehension by a person, but is the extension of data to other people who are in the same style of perception, and they can perceive, reflect, and visualize. Therefore, Kabbalah is secret science. It is revealed only to those who comprehend it in their new properties.

I cannot imagine how can some addition to other sciences can be made from it or somehow connect with them. After all, a person must acquire new properties.

To A Single Field Of Consciousness

928Question: How is the information field related to the concept of the soul of the first person or Adam HaRishon? Moreover, phenomena such as consciousness are purely spiritual phenomena. Is it possible to trace some kind of connection in this?

Answer: The soul is an information field. Consciousness is also a field. They resonate and affect the still, vegetative, and animate nature. Not being isolated from it, they affect the material world, and it, in turn, affects this information field. So everything is in dynamic interaction.

But when we come to the level of influence on the spiritual field, the field of the mind, the field of information records, then we do not need to work with matter because it is a very rough, very weak instrument of influence on the field of information.

With the help of Kabbalah, we rise to the level of this field and are included in it, like resonators, peculiar antennae that excite this field. This is our strength.

All this must be aroused in order for this field to act on all its elements and bring them to one single whole, to become a huge single field of consciousness. The science of Kabbalah pushes us to ensure that our influence through our desires on the information fields would create such conditions when these fields and these desires would be combined together into one single field.

This will be what Einstein dreamed of, although he was hardly thinking about a unified theory of a unified field.
This will be the soul of the first person.
