Question: What is the order of actions that I must carry out to bring about the positive bestowal of the upper Light on me? Can this be done, for example, in a dream or when working or is it only during the time of study?

Answer: It is best during the study, but it is also possible at the time of carrying out other activities. This must be learned. The most certain correction is realized at the time of the study in a group.

Question: If I begin to study the wisdom of Kabbalah, will I be able to manage and determine the desires that will appear within me and those that will be shut down?

Answer: No. It depends on the root of your soul, and therefore, you cannot command it. And why would you? On the contrary, you will develop according to the appearance of the Light from above on your soul, on the sum of your desires.

Question: As a Kabbalist, do you manage yourself and summon the Ohr Makif (surrounding Light)? How do thoughts, desires, or people come to you?

Answer: I only express my readiness to advance and the Light does everything else.

Question: If the entire world is within me, who am I?

Answer: You are the repository of the entire world as you imagine it. After all, the created being is the entire world.

Question: If a person is approaching correction, is his general state positive, content, serene,  even elated?

Answer: Or the opposite. We are constantly moving in a start-stop motion, in very serious peaks: up and down, up and down. But in general, I am sure that we are all on the right track. You will soon discover this in practice. Everything will be okay.

Question: Is the appearance of a desire for spirituality in a person a matter of luck? Does the Creator decide when the person will awaken?

Answer: Yes, it depends on the Creator. Certainly, for a person, it is a matter of luck, a lottery. The upper Light that influences a person is what determines within him the appearance of this desire.

Question: If my desires are on a higher level, on the level of the speaking, will I begin to see spiritual phenomena in the world?

Answer: You will not only see spiritual phenomena, you will also feel the system, the network of forces that influence you and our world. You will begin to see the results of the influence of the network; and when you are in mutual contact with this network of forces, you will be able to determine the future.

Question: Do you suppose that every person who begins to learn the wisdom of Kabbalah must prepare himself to become a teacher?

Answer: If the Creator begins to develop the person, this is inevitable. As said in the article “Introduction to the Study of the Ten Sefirot”: “The Creator puts one’s hand on the good fate,” meaning that he brings him to a society where that person can develop, and says to him: “This take for you.”

Question: Is approaching the Creator pleasant, or dangerous, or both?

Answer: Approaching the Creator cannot be dangerous because there are very precise laws. You approach the Creator only according to the degree of your correction. Your personal correction determines the approach to Him.

Question: What is reality called in the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: In the wisdom of Kabbalah, reality is called the desire that is presently working within me, and the Light which determines it. There are only these two elements in a creature and we can adjust the quality and intensity of the connection between them.

Question: How can the desire to bestow exist within the desire to receive?

Answer: There is no such thing. The desire to receive appears as something from nothing. This is the only thing that was created. Everything else is derived from it.

Question: I study the wisdom of Kabbalah and its implementation in life with the help of your video lessons. In the lessons, you pay a lot of attention to the group, its importance for a person and for one’s spiritual progress.

Explaining the fundamentals of the wisdom of Kabbalah, you draw attention to the clear interrelation between the physical and spiritual worlds according to the principle of roots and branches.

This means that the processes in the physical world are reflected in the spiritual world, and vice versa. Such an approach to things during the process of learning stimulates the search for analogies and comparisons.

Based on all of this, I have a question: Is it worthwhile for me to pay attention to this when trying to form an effective group?

Answer: We do not create a group, but how it gathers. We accept it as it is and achieve unity, discovering the Creator within it.

Question: Is there anything better than democracy?

Answer: We do not know what democracy is. Democracy for us means that we can somehow get along with each other without the power of the fist and coercion in the most brutal form, according to certain laws. By observing them, we are more or less able to not harm each other directly—and this is what we call “democracy.”

None of us knows what freedom is. We are not free. Each of us is born with qualities that we did not choose. Each of us has received education that we did not choose. We grow up and by the age of 20 we become adults; everything in us we received from our society, from factors that are not connected to us, nor depend on us.

In essence, I am a person who came out of the “oven” ready. However, the “I” is not me. “I” is what I was given. Accordingly, I advance in life.

So, do I know what freedom is? I am not free, I am just realizing what I received earlier. Therefore, it is not a democracy, it is not freedom, and it is not free choice. After all that I have received from everyone, have received since childhood, have received from teachers, if I learn how to work with all this, how to use it to achieve freedom, then perhaps I can truly realize myself.

Therefore, it is necessary to know the laws of nature, the laws of society as they should be in reality, in an objective form, independent of us.

We reveal the laws of nature, the social laws in ants, in groups of animals, and the same laws work in human society. If we open them up, if we establish them in our society, if we implement these laws in our society, then thanks to the effective use of the laws of nature we will reach true democracy.

In other words, everyone will have their own balanced place in the world, every nation, every community, every country, and all of humanity as a whole, will have an excellent balanced place in accordance with the common nature.

Today, everyone still imagines democracy and laws in their own way. Therefore, we naturally plunge into the global crisis of human society and do not yet see how we should exist.

Today’s democracy is coming to an end, and the next regime humanity will befall humanity is Nazism. Nazism will come and replace the current regime of all progressive democratic countries, and then we will see that we really do not understand the true laws of nature.

Let us hope that we will understand them before we bring ourselves to Nazism and that we will come to a beautiful, corrected form of the existence of humanity—to altruism.

Question from My Blog: You once said in one of the videos that we have to complete our mission, that is, to come to final correction, and that this can be done regardless of time and space. What do you need to do for this?

Answer: Exit the framework of space and time, as you correctly noted. That is, we should not limit ourselves to any time frame, any place on earth.

We just need to get closer to each other as much as possible. In other words, rise above our egoism because our nature is absolute egoism and we already agree with it, understand it, and have researched it well.

The science of Kabbalah reveals the method of rising above our egoism where we can rise above ourselves and connect with others. In connection with each other above our animal egoism, above our original nature, we create a system called Adam, from the word “Domeh”—similar to the Creator, that is, a unified upper force.

We also make ourselves a unified system. Then the upper force fills it, and we feel ourselves existing in the property of bestowal, love, eternity, and infinity.

That is our final correction—filling ourselves completely with the upper Light.

Question: Can you explain what time is according to the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: Time is the order of cause and effect in activities. They generate in our sensation a process that we call “time.”

Question: Suffering is given to people in order to awaken them to develop the point in the heart, which is a part of the upper world. But why do animals suffer?

Answer: All of us who inhabit our world constitute the common created desire and by correcting it, a person also corrects the future of all the levels of nature

Question: Why is there still no peace in the Middle East?

Answer: The problem is not with Israel and the nations of the world. The situation is such that the method of correction of the world, which should now be realized in the whole world, is in the hands of Israel.

In its inner wisdom called the science of Kabbalah, Israel has the methodology of correcting egoism in the world: how to change from the egoistic perception of life and nature, where everybody wants to get something for himself, to the altruistic one, where everybody will be able to sacrifice and give of himself, and through it become fulfilled, complete, and perceive life through altruism.

Because Israel holds this wisdom, the entire world feels as if Israel is at fault for all that is happening. This pressure and anti-Semitism will not stop until Israel makes a contribution to the world—by revealing the science of Kabbalah to the world, a method of correcting the world, which explains how it can save itself from its selfish development that has come to an end and has resulted in the threat to its existence.

The world will reach peace, tranquility, and contentment only through the implementation of this method of its correction, which has been with Israel since Babylonian times. Emerging from there, from the cradle of all civilization, it has been in the midst of Israel for 6,000 years, and is only now being revealed. That is why the science of Kabbalah is in demand now all over the world.

The science of Kabbalah became open for general study at the beginning of the 21^st century. After all, it represents the methodology of making our world altruistic, perfect, and wonderful. Then there will be peace in the Middle East and all over the world. And if not, then it will not happen there or anywhere in the world, which will only lead to a greater danger of its annihilation.

What is happening today in the Middle East is, in essence, the concentration, the focus, the pinnacle, of the whole world problem. If we solve this problem, if Israel will reveal the method of correction of the world, by doing so we will solve the problems of the entire world, and peace will also reign in the Middle East.

Question: Why do we consider the lives of some people to be more important than the lives of others?

Answer: It is because we fail to see the whole picture, the general mechanism, the common system of our globalization. We belong to a single system, we are all, in fact, one body.

Each one of us is like a cell in a single body that has to care about the well-being of the whole organism. If we see that humanity, in its final analysis, is one person with certain organs and body parts, then we will surely understand that each person matters.

Even if one cell in the body becomes cancerous… And this, in essence, is the specific quality of egoism: it starts engulfing others. At this point, we all resemble cancer cells. This now becomes revealed to us: we all exist in the universal human system, which is ill with general cancer.

If we reveal this, then we will certainly understand that everyone has to be healthy, that is, renounce their egoism, renounce using, engulfing others, and switch to bestowing to them.

Having discovered this, we will see that life consists only in advancing everyone in their development, in their contribution to society. If we encourage society to give everyone values that are directed only at this, we will, of course, be obliging people to be useful to human society. Then everyone will be equal. Also, then the life of one cannot be more important than the life of someone else.

Question: What basic feelings and virtues of each person deserve respect and why are so many people deprived of it?

Answer: We need to respect only the aspirations and efforts of a person that are aimed at humanity’s benefit. Not for the good of oneself, one’s nation, or one’s family, but only for the benefit of humanity. If we respect this, we will see the extent to which a person overcomes his egoistic nature for the sake of belonging to, and sacrificing for, the entire world.

I think all people should overcome themselves, their egoistic desire. If each of us sacrifices ourselves in this way, then in response we should receive gratitude and respect from society. Everyone—the children at home, the wife, the relatives, the parents, the environment, the friends, and the whole world—should be grateful to a person and appreciate him only to the extent of his contribution to society.

A person is created in such a way that he needs the recognition of society. By this, in essence, he expresses himself, his “I.” If we make society protect a person and respond to his contribution to humanity, this will obligate everyone to be an active part of humanity. We will see from everyone only good things in relation to the entirety of human society and we will see what contribution each one makes.

Therefore, we need to establish such laws in our society so that everyone can be assessed only by their contribution to humanity and so that it is easily visible.

If we measure a person only according to these criteria, if everyone knows that this is how he is assessed, this is how he is treated, then he will have no way out. He will have to become a healthy cell in the general body, that is, a person that is as useful as possible for humanity.

Question: How should the development of underdeveloped countries occur? What is a better approach: micro-finance or macro-finance?

Answer: Only by developing traditional education, which is inherent to all people in the world, so that education and culture correspond to the nation’s nature, will we be effectively developing each nation.

We must understand that, in general, there are 70 nations of the world and they are all unequal. Similar to bodily organs, they need to complement each other. Therefore, if we show an equal and kind attitude to everybody, but according to the nature of each, we will see that they really can make a remarkable contribution to humanity.

Then we will manage to extract the maximum benefit from each nation. This all depends on a benevolent and warm attitude toward everyone, so that he or she can serve humanity precisely in the measure that corresponds to him or her.

We must understand that all of nature is divided between countries and nations such that it leads a person to a state in which each one complements another. As a result, we really can find ourselves in an equal and perfect world where each one fills the other and reaches a world that is all good.

We will then be privileged to see that each nation has a remarkable share in humanity. Also, only because they complement each other are we rewarded with a perfect life in all of human society—with love, perfection, respect, and honor for everyone.

First of all, we need to reveal that every nation has its place, just as the organs of the body have their places. We need it, and until we see that we need it, we will be unable to evaluate and raise it to its own distinctive realization.
