Question: It seems impossible to get close to the Creator even by one millimeter during one lifetime. It is such hard work that sometimes you feel that you are too weak. What can we do about it?

Answer: You can overcome such states only by the help of the right environment. There is no other way! A person who sits by himself and has no one to study with is waiting in vain to succeed.

If a person studies the wisdom of Kabbalah, the study is fruitful of course. If one wishes to advance as fast as possible and in the right way, then he has to do so with the right group and by combining the group and the study correctly. One must find at least one partner, even virtually.

Question: What is the “price” of the way to the Creator? Does this require time and aptitude, or personal characteristics?

Answer: The price for the way to the Creator is acquiring freedom from the ego.

Question: I have been thrown into a difficult situation. I cannot leave the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah, yet it is also difficult for me to continue.

Answer: The difficulty in continuing comes from the lack of a correct environment. Once we acquire the correct environment and decide to implement the movement forward within it, the study becomes easy.

Question: If we can exit matter and manage it, can we then manage our desires, including physical desires?

Answer: We can absolutely manage everything, not only the desires on the levels of the inanimate, vegetative, and animate, but also the galaxies. We will control everything.

Question: Is there a limit to the desire to receive, or does it grow to the dimensions of the Creator?

Answer: The desire to receive must be constantly revealed until it achieves the volume of the Creator. That is the end of our development. The final state of humanity is adhesion with the Creator.

Question: Why were we created by the Creator, nature, so that we love “attractive” people only?

Answer: A person loves pleasure; he is drawn to what he enjoys.

Question: Why and for what does the Creator require a perfect companion if He is perfection?

Answer: In order to reveal His perfection, the Creator must create something perfect.

Question: What is the mechanism by which one can manage the universe on the physical, human level? What must I personally do in order to do this? Does it mean that it is not difficult to be God?

Answer: It is not difficult to be God. When we begin to acquire the characteristics of bestowal and love of the Creator for all kinds of creatures, for all levels of creation, everything else is not complicated. We become equivalent to the Creator, His partners.

Question: If the Creator is good, why do we suffer? Where is His goodness of heart?

Answer: Who said that the Creator is good?! The Creator is good only at the end of correction. Parents who oblige children to study seem bad and unjust in the children’s eyes. That is also how we perceive the Creator.

Question: Can there be a descent which it is not possible to rise from?

Answer: Sometimes there is a descent from which the person cannot rise by himself, but the Creator raises him.

Question: How is it possible to differentiate between the “Path of Torah” and the “Way of Suffering”?

Answer: It is possible to describe the “Way of Suffering” as every type of physical suffering that we move through slowly since they are from a lower level; whereas, the “Way of Torah” is a replacement of suffering from a lower level with suffering from a higher level. Suffering from a lower level is a yearning for corporeal fulfillment and suffering from a higher level is a yearning for unification.

So we move through them more quickly, and this is preferable in the eyes of the Creator. Yet those who walk the Path of Torah also have times of moving through the Way of Suffering, which are replaced with periods of purposeful advancement in the Path of Torah.

Question: How can you increase egoism if it is on level zero?

Answer: Today, there cannot be egoism on the zero level. A person has a normal ordinary ego. When we begin to correct it we will see that there are such great deep layers in it that we will not know how to escape it.

Question: Is there such a thing as fate? If so, how can I affect it?

Answer: Everyone has their own fate. We can affect our fate and change it if we begin to actively induce the revelation of the Upper Light through the connection with the friends in the group.

Once you recover the  correct mutual connection between yourself and your friends that resembles, at least to some degree, the principle of “love thy neighbor as thyself, the upper force immediately begins to operate and to affect us according to our efforts and thus we begin to change our fate.

Question: Why does the Creator send us connections with a negative environment?

Answer: Unfortunately, we are indeed in a very negative environment in this world.

We must study the wisdom of Kabbalah, try to study it, even virtually, and then we will see to what degree we can neutralize all of the negative attitudes toward us because we will begin to influence the upper force directly.

Question: How can we be protected from people’s curses, from the influence of a foreign ego, from the evil eye?

Answer: It is only through the good deeds we perform. Nothing else can help. Let’s neutralize the harmful effects through positive actions.

Question: If Kabbalists did not draw the Light that Reforms, the whole world would not exist. So how did the world exist for millions of years before the first Kabbalist?

Answer: The world existed on the still, vegetative, and animate levels of nature, and there was no need for Kabbalists on those levels. They are needed only when humanity has to consciously correct itself not on the animal level, but on the human level when a person makes an effort to correct himself and is not forced to do so by the “stick” of nature.

Question: What is the reason for hatred toward Jews?

Answer: Briefly it could be said that people hate us instinctively and naturally because we are not attracting the Upper Light. More precisely, in this regard they have no direct approach to the Creator, but only through us.

But the revelation of the wisdom of Kabbalah to all the nations of the world in our time makes it possible for everyone to approach the Creator, which depends only on the realization of a person’s desire.

And if a person has a desire for the Creator depends on the individual relationship of the Creator to the person, which depends on person’s location in the collective soul.

Question: Can a woman advance in spirituality if she mainly watches the men’s group on the screen?

Answer: Of course. A man can also advance in spirituality if he only watches the men’s group on the screen. Everything depends on the desire, the assertiveness, the persistence, and the yearning.

Question: Is it possible to find the ideal husband with the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: It is not possible to find an ideal husband and there is no need to look for one either. The wisdom of Kabbalah cannot help here. The ideal partner for men and for women is the Creator.

Question: Do a husband and a wife draw further away from each other because their attributes change?

Answer: On the contrary, the different attributes enable a husband and a wife to get even closer to each other above all the differences.

Question: Has your wife attained the attribute of bestowal?

Answer: It is our private family secret.

Question: What is the spiritual root for a coupling of a man and a woman?

Answer: This phenomenon has no spiritual root. Similar actions that take place in the spiritual world are called coupling of beating, which we study when we study the spiritual Partzufim.

Question: I want to study the wisdom of Kabbalah but there are other things that interest me more, what should I do?

Answer: You have to find out what is more important for you in life.

Question: If a husband and a wife study together, watch the lessons together, read the sources together, and have workshops, do they need a group?

Answer: They will actually feel whether it is important to have a group or not. But they should both agree on it. If one of them still wants to be part of a group he or she has the right to do so.

Question: Can a father and daughter interact like a Kabbalistic group?

Answer: No.

Question: Is there such a thing as great love in the wisdom of Kabbalah? Not falling in love, but a great love between a man and a woman?

Answer: If you are referring to love between a man and woman in our world, it has nothing to do with the wisdom of Kabbalah! The wisdom of Kabbalah engages in the relationship between the souls, while in our world we engage in the relationship between physical bodies.

Question: Why do so many women who study the wisdom of Kabbalah find it difficult to find a husband?

Answer: Do other women find husbands? I think your question refers to general statistics. In our group, on the other hand, couples get married all the time and have children. Of course there are problems, but the rate of divorce compared to the world’s is scant.

Question: Does the wisdom of Kabbalah have a special approach to everyday life? How could it be that a Kabbalist has to somehow change his actions? For example, engage in his spiritual work for a couple of hours and spend the rest of the time living anyway he wants to and let everything work out by itself.

Answer: No one is forcing you to do anything differently. You can act this way! But then you will see that the wisdom of Kabbalah gradually fills your daily life. When you advance you will feel that you can also implement your spiritual work while you work, in your everyday life, and also when you communicate with others. Why not it if you can profit from it?

Question: Is it working in bestowal if I worry about my close friends and about my neighbors? Does it bring me closer to the Creator?

Answer: No, it doesn’t bring you closer to the Creator. It is simply corporeal concern for others. The Creator is revealed between the students of the wisdom of Kabbalah when they focus themselves correctly to help each other ascend to the level of the Creator.

Question: When I have a chance to bestow, I am happy because my egoism is pleased to feel that it is great and meaningful. Is this using the ego correctly?

Answer: Yes. A person has to ascend and be glad about his ascent. Helping the friends ascend to the Creator is bestowal, while caring for each other on the level of our world doesn’t help in any way because in that case it is pure egoism.

Question: So why do we see that in our world?

Answer: In order to prepare people for the right connection between them, but nothing more than that.
