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.

Desire Is An Antenna That Receives Information

283.02Question: How and by what medium is information transmitted by the upper field? What is the receiving antenna in us?

Answer: Desire. We are, figuratively speaking, a bag of desires. The sack is big since we have quite a lot of diverse desires. We exist in them.

I cannot destroy any of them, but I can sort them in such a way that certain types of desires prevail and others are not so important. I do it by force on myself. In the group, in the study, in all circumstances, I lower some of my desires and raise some of them.

I sort of bring myself closer, make a dipole of myself that turns in a certain way with respect to the external field. In such a way, I evoke the influence of this field on my desires, which I either raise or, on the contrary, lower by my forceful effort. That is, the field interacts with me.

This, in practice, is what the change of a person consists of. But, for the time being it is just the initial change, because in this way I am only trying to perform some actions on myself.

Obviously, these actions are insufficient. I cannot do anything, because I am enclosed in myself, I am like a thing in itself. That is why I need to know how to initiate the influence of the upper field on myself, so that it orients me correctly, positions me relative to myself, and then I will be able to feel its influence on me, understand how it works on me, and what it does in me. That is how I will advance.

Transition To Different Levels Of Consciousness

738Question: At the level of inanimate nature, particles, for example, electrons, obey the laws of physics. Is this their sense of the higher information field?

Answer: Yes, they absolutely, completely, blindly follow the instructions of this field, the instructions of the Creator.

Question: And how does the transition to higher levels of consciousness take place, say, from vegetative to animate?

Answer: In this case, desire jumps to a completely new level. If the still level only cares about its constant state and does not want to change in any way, then the vegetative level, on the contrary, treats the environment creatively. According to its nature, it wants to receive as much beneficial things as possible and to expel everything that is harmful to it, and thus grow.

The next, animate level is even greater. In order to get something beneficial from the surrounding world and give back everything unnecessary or harmful to it, the animal develops movement, special properties for absorption, excretion, and so on.

And man is already working at the highest level, the spiritual level. The difference between a human and the previous animate level is that he must work consciously, with desire, with intention, but not physically.

Question: It turns out that the field increases egoism so much that it manifests itself as a change in the structure of a material object. That is: plants uniting form animate tissues, and they are already capable of realizing this desire?

Answer: Yes. Not only the number of elements in the atom increases, but the atoms themselves and the molecules themselves, their combinations, become completely different. Their combinations acquire a new essence. This is not only their collection and some new physicochemical properties, but they are really capable of memorizing, giving out information, and exchanging it among themselves. This is how active, radioactive elements, etc. appear.

We see how still, vegetative, and animate nature gradually develop. All transitions from level to level and intermediate states that appear during transitions between these properties are explained in Kabbalah.

Question: Is all this is unambiguously controlled by Reshimot (information records)? Are there no coincidences?

Answer: Everything is determined to such a tiny scale that we cannot observe it. But this is absolutely clearly legitimized in nature.

One-Sided Perception Of The World

928Comment: Renowned physicist Richard Feynman said, “What I cannot create, I do not understand.” As if saying, we are in captivity of our own feelings; we look inside ourselves and not outside.

My Response: That is how we were created. This is the one-sided perception of the world we were born with. There is nothing we can do about it.

However, as a result of our evolution, especially in recent times, we begin to see how limited our perception of the world is and that we must get out of it. And we must come out into a completely different space.

Even Einstein was limited in his perception of the world.

A Generator Or A Receiver Of Thoughts?

143Question: Am I a generator or a receiver of thoughts? What is my freedom in terms of thoughts?

Answer: No one is a generator of thoughts. Good and evil thoughts come only from above.

We are merely small consumers at the end of the chain, but our reaction to them depends on how we reflect the evil or the good signals that we receive. This is our mission.

Question: Can thoughts intersect, reinforce, or interrupt each other?

Answer: Yes if they are not for the sake of unity. But if they are thoughts for unity, they are swallowed in the center of the group and the group grows.

Consciousness In The Lower Levels Of Matter

707Question: You said that the feeling of the informational field within us can be called consciousness. What are the consciousness of the lower levels of matter: inanimate, vegetative, and animate?

Answer: These levels also perceive the surrounding informational field even much closer than we do. Being a part of this field, they do not disturb it with their nature or their distortions. Therefore, we say that they live instinctively.

All members of the inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature include fields that direct and control them. Thus, from the part of the object, there is no participation in the upper management, they simply instinctively comply with what it dictates.

Just like small children who are at first like animals, but when they grow up, something called egoism appears in them, i.e., a conscious intention to use their qualities for their own benefit and preferably to the detriment of others.

There is nothing you can do about it. It intentionally appears in a person so that we, having independently risen above our egoistic quality, would become at least equal to Him and in this regard reach the level of the Creator. The fact is that the egoistic quality is an addition to our animate nature, which comes from the opposite side of the Creator, and we must treat it with respect.

Carrier Of The Upper Field

276.03Question: Does the upper field have its own carrier?

Answer: The upper field is the light, that is, the desire to bestow, to fill, to satisfy, to connect. Its carrier is the common quality of connection, of good.

There is also the quality to receive, to subjugate, to influence, and it is supposedly the opposite of it and is evil. However, in fact, that is just what we call it in our spiritual physics.

Actually, there is nothing in it at all: neither evil nor good. Both forces cannot be regarded as good or evil; it is only relative to the little person who perceives them in this way because we live in such circumstances.

When we rise above these circumstances to the level of the upper field and begin to explore it, then we do not have evil and good at all but only reception, bestowal, and manifestation of Reshimot. This is what exists.

The Spiritual Is Beyond The Control Of Mechanical Consciousness

276.04Question: Is there a fundamental difference between human and artificial consciousness?

Answer: I think artificial consciousness is just a mechanical augmentation of our natural abilities. It does not lead to a more advanced understanding and sense of the space around us.

I do not think that the true space in which we exist, call it spiritual, is subject to some mechanical consciousness.

For this, we must develop our inner qualities, the quality of bestowal, the quality of reception, and they are not inherent in any mechanical device. This applies only to man because it is in him that the desire to receive and bestow is embodied.

Let’s say you create some external mechanical element that does something. But it will do it because you created it that way. No matter how much it improves itself later, its quality will not change. This can only happen in man because this feature is only in us.
