Question: When you say something in a lesson, you emphasize to everyone that this depends on you and that depends on you, and so on. I hear it too and wonder why you don’t connect everything together?
Answer: I address them because this way I enter their reality. I speak to them on the level of their reality.
If you and I were to rise to another level where we both perceived reality differently, I would speak to you differently on another level of perceiving reality. Suppose we both sensed the absence of this world and existed in the world of Yetzira, then we would communicate on the level of forces and not images as we do now.
Right now you see me on your computer screen, and I see you on my computer screen. But if we were to move into the realm of electrical signals beyond the screen and start communicating, not through imagery, but as the computer commands, everything would be different. Imagine two wires connected to each other, nothing more. And information flows from one to the other, not as images, but as impulses.
But in a lesson, I convey information to people as if they exist separately from me, because otherwise I would not be able to explain anything.
And this is how all of Kabbalah is described. How else could it be? We address a person who perceives our world as an objective reality in which they exist rather than a reality that exists within them.
Question: So are you speaking to them? Or are you speaking just to me?
Answer: I am speaking to myself.
Question: To yourself? Then why do you keep saying that it depends on you, you, and you? I hear it too, so it turns out it depends on me and not on them.
Answer: Of course! Only on you! We say: “The whole world depends only on you.”
Comment: This feels like a trick.
My Response: It is not a trick. We exist in a state that we have no other way to communicate. No one is deceiving anyone. Are we playing childish games, deceiving each other in this world? Is there anything worthwhile on this infantile level where people supposedly deceive one another? They are deceiving themselves!
Question: So how should I relate to these elements that you communicate with?
Answer: In no way. Correct yourself.
Question: And the connection? You always talk about connection.
Answer: Connect! And you will discover that all of it is you, that all of it is yours, that you are the one and only Adam filled by the Creator. And everyone else are just parts of you that have integrally become yours, and you alone exist.
Question: But you say the problem is that people cannot achieve connection because not everyone wants it. How can that be that not everyone wants it, yet everything depends on me?
Answer: Because these are your own desires that you have not yet gathered together and corrected to resemble the Creator. Therefore they seem to be opposite to you, standing against you, with whom you must somehow work, connect with, and attract to yourself.
Question: But if it is my fault that there is no unity, why don’t you pressure me, why don’t you say: “It is your fault” instead of speaking to the entire mass around you?
Answer: Because each of them is just like you, and each one must realize that everything is contained within them.
Question: No, this is probably impossible to understand. You speak very confidently, saying that this is clear and that is clear, but at the same time, there is a contradiction in it.
Answer: Even in quantum physics we encounter such paradoxes. What can you do?
Comment: So they exist, and at the same time, they do not exist.
My Response: Yes. When we start approaching the microworld where there is a kind of threshold for transitioning to another world, we discover that nothing is definite, that two things can be in the same place at the same time, and one thing can be in two places, that distance does not exist—it is entirely conditional.
Imagine I take a piece of paper and fold it and bring two opposite points together. In linear geometry they are on a plane. But by folding the paper, they now represent a single whole. It all depends on my perception of space.
This is what a spatial leap is—the ability to leap from one part of the universe to another across millions or billions of light-years. On a plane, they are separated by billions of years, but I simply fold it and find myself in another point instantly. And it depends only on my perception—only on me! If I can fold it within myself, then I am at any point I choose.
Everything exists only relative to me.
Question: Do you practice this?
Answer: It is not about practicing or not. It is simply the reality that exists within you.
You must rise to it because everything depends on the level of your egoism—whether it is linear, flat, or whether you can already shape it in any way, control it, give it any form, and construct your true reality upon it. Take any shape and say: “This is a plane,” and build your geometry on it, meaning, perceive the entire world through it.
And what does it depend on? On how much you can integrate your nine fundamental qualities, the nine Sefirot into the tenth, in Malchut. And then everything is within you. You truly perceive everything beyond time and space, only through your internal transformation, through the sensation of the Creator within you. And nothing else exists.
And you do not grieve over losing people, souls, or communication. It is all inside you and has become even closer, deeper.

Question: You talk about group work, but in the past, Kabbalists did not really work in a group, did they?
