Question: In a post “My Thoughts on Twitter, 7/31/17,” you wrote: “To #love truly means not to provide the beloved with all their needs, but connect them to the ‘channel of abundance’.” Please explain: what is this channel of abundance and how can one connect to it?

Answer: The wisdom of Kabbalah explains that it is possible to attain spirituality only through everyone because we are a single system of interconnected souls in which each one can be fulfilled only through what others transmit to him.

Question: Why is it that with every new ascent, there is a renewed interest in analyzing my previous states?

Answer: That is because the future is specifically built on them.

Dear Friends!

I have been running my Facebook page for years now. When I opened this page I was driven, of course, by a feeling of deep pain and compassion for all of humanity.

After all, every day our goals and desires are fading more and more; we are abandoning everything only to exist. Our hard, selfish nature confronts us and does not allow us to enjoy life in any way. We involuntarily live this short number of years, which is given to us, and no one enjoys it.

An era has come when the science of Kabbalah can be revealed to all. With its help, we can really make our lives happy, balanced, and peaceful. I see what can be achieved with the help of the hidden forces of nature, which the science of Kabbalah allows us to disclose and properly manage.

This is why I opened my Facebook page. I truly hope that it will help us all attain a good and peaceful life on the next upper level where all our wishes can actually be fulfilled by us. I wish us all success in achieving this. Get to know what the wisdom of Kabbalah has to offer humanity.

Good luck to all of us!

Question: Does the Creator exist as an independent force of nature like some cosmic force that exists, but we don’t know about and don’t feel?

Answer: That’s right..

Question: If my friends and I have not yet created the Creator, and He doesn’t exist yet, why should we think that “There is none else beside Him” (Deuteronomy 4:35)? After all, if He doesn’t exist yet, then He cannot manage us either, or do anything….

Answer: The intent of this is that in relation to you, in your discovery, He doesn’t exist. You must create a Creator for yourself from your corrected characteristics!

Question: Is there such a concept of collective egoism?

Answer: No, if one is talking about the spiritual development of a person, it is merely individual.

Question: To bestow to the Creator must we feel hatred toward Him?

Answer: If a person feels hatred toward the Creator, then to the same extent, really a moment before, the feeling of the Creator, or even thoughts about Him, disappear from the person.

Question: You usually say that the egoism of humanity develops with each passing day. Have we already reached its last phase or are there additional big surprises waiting for us?

Answer: We have already reached the last phase of the development of egoism, but we haven’t fully attained it yet.

Question: Baal HaSulam divided the wisdom of Kabbalah into two parts: the concealed part and a revealed part. In the future, will everyone discover the revealed part while only select people will discover the hidden part?

Answer: Everyone will be selected. At the end of our development all of us will attain a completely identical level: full altruistic spiritual development.

Question: Why is it impossible to reach the point of truth without the feeling and recognition of evil?

Answer: It is because the point of truth includes both evil and good within it, as two absolutely identical and equally valued components.

Question: In your opinion is it possible to overcome the ego in the present stage of human development?

Answer: It is not necessary to overcome the ego, it is necessary to accept it as a partner. Like the American saying: “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em”; if you cannot beat it, make it into an ally.

Question: Who manages and how?

Answer: The Creator manages the person and the person manages the Creator.

Question: In my youth I decided that love is happiness, and happiness is making the object of your love happy. Is that accurate?

Answer: You are not mistaken. That is correct at the worldly level.

Question: In managing the ego, what role do the Reshimot (reminiscences) play?

Answer: The Light that influences us activates more and more new Reshimot (information data). Thanks to that, all kinds of thoughts and sensations are brought to life.

Question: In what way is the Creator’s management of a person different in the way of suffering and in the way of pleasure?

Answer: These two ways are the right and left lines in the middle of which the Creator manages us, just as we manage a horse with two reins.

Question: I can understand some of the grievances that religious people have against you, but why are you also criticised by scholars who study Kabbalah in universities?

Answer: Scholars who study Kabbalah sit in universities and nobody has any issue with them, whereas with us Bnei Baruch, everybody attacks us and everyone is unhappy with us. So the issue is not that we are studying Kabbalah, but precisely how much this type of study of Kabbalah is not tolerated by religion and religious and secular people.

University scholars write about each other, of what each one thinks about Kabbalah. This came from ancient Greeks who studied Kabbalah from the prophets, but they understood it on a purely superficial level and this is how they began to write about it. Then, following generations wrote about the previous generations of philosophers and what they believed.

In other words, academic Kabbalah does not pursue the goal of attaining the Creator and the upper world and of making Kabbalists of their students, it merely aims to study previous university researchers.

Perhaps such people also come to us with a desire to study Kabbalah on the surface like in universities, and so they leave dissatisfied with us, for allegedly, we are studying the “wrong thing.” Likewise, scientists who study us in universities do not understand us and internally resent us for being different, not like them.

They cannot comprehend that our Kabbalah is DIFFERENT from theirs: We have attainment of the upper world from Kabbalists who perceive it in practice, while what they have is studying the opinions of their predecessors who have not attained the higher world.

Question: In the past, it was unacceptable and even forbidden to write down the explanations of teachers who taught Torah; why don’t we behave that way today?

Answer: They didn’t record the words of the teacher in the past but learned orally, not because it was difficult to record on wooden tablets, for example, but because the students heard and attained the upper world while processing the profundity of the words of the teacher.

Now the situation is different; we hear and record to know mechanically, not through living attainment. When a student follows his teacher like a lower Partzuf following an upper Partzuf through adhesion with it, a living picture of the upper world is revealed to the student. Therefore, the student receives his attainment “mouth to mouth” from the higher level, meaning through sharing a Masach (Screen) with the teacher.

This is called “writing on the tablet of your heart” on the corrected desires. And today people learn dead letters and words because there is no Light in them; there is no characteristic of bestowal, only external knowledge. This is called exile from the upper world.

So, after the fall from the level of spiritual attainment happened two thousand years ago, they began to record the words of the sages of the Torah so that when we would leave the exile in the future, we would ascend to love and bestowal and could revitalize their texts through the upper Light.

Question from Facebook: Today we see the active participation of Jews in the movement against Israel. Why is this happening?

Answer: Because Jews are the greatest opponents of their historical mission. They destroy their historical process, which should be directed toward “love your neighbor as yourself” and showing the whole world how to lead humanity to unity, including love for each other, support, and integration of all into one single society.

The people of Israel must do all of this. This is a method concealed in the people of Israel and is called the science of Kabbalah.

But we see that if we want to explain to the world what Kabbalah it is the Jews who attack us first. It has always been like that: Kabbalists were persecuted, imprisoned, and denounced. We are experiencing the same thing today. This only emphasizes how correct our mission is.

But now it’s time to understand that this is exactly what the salvation of the Jewish people and all of humanity is.

Therefore, it is possible to eradicate anti-Semitism and hatred for Israel only if we eradicate hatred toward Jews. And the Jews’ hatred of the existence of Israel itself as a state shows how much we are in a terrible state of internal destruction, how far we are from our historical mission, from what we have to do in this world.

Let’s hope that gradually the time will come and we will be able to convince the Jews. And life itself will teach them what is most important—the unity between us. This is what the world needs. It does not need anything else; it is full of abundance. The only thing that is missing is a good relationship between people. And the methodology of good relations is precisely in Kabbalah, within the Jewish people.

If we undertake this, we will naturally be very useful to the world and will become “the Light to the nations of the world.”

Question: Why in the Internet age is it so hard to convey the ideas of the wisdom of Kabbalah from below to the elites. They seem not to hear us; perhaps because the well-fed does not understand the hungry? Their pride does not allow them to see and understand the true meaning of life. The meaning of life is among people and for people, not in the upper circles that are detached from real life.

We have been sending distress signals for many years to save humanity, offering unique methods to educate the younger generation, but all our efforts do not sink in and change the awareness of the bureaucrats who engage only in making sure that their seats are stable. Who can help us promote this information and how?

Answer: Universal egoism brings people to complete mutual neglect in order to discover the need for it and to correct it. When this becomes clear to everyone, people will discover the wisdom of Kabbalah and will begin to use it.

Question: Do good relationships in a family influence nature in general? Thanks to a good relationship between people, even if they are not members in a group, does a correction of the general connections happen?

Answer: No, the correction happens only if their goal is directed towards resembling the Creator, meaning the goal of creation.
