Question: Did the translation of the Torah into Greek by seventy sages bring something to the world? After all, many were against it.

Answer: It was impossible to avoid because many Jews, first of all, stopped speaking Hebrew. Secondly, the gradual decline in the level of the people also played its role.

Of course, there was nothing positive in it. But in order to expand the boundaries of the real religion, that is, the true connection with the Creator, it was necessary to deepen and expand it into all the peoples of the world, and not remain the same as today’s Jewish religion, which is a very narrow, closed ideology that does not allow itself to be approached. It cannot exist that way for long. If it was not for the accelerated process of correcting the human soul, we would have seen all of Judaism disappear within literally one to two centuries. After all, all western Jews are practically absorbed into the nations where they live. Among American, French, and Russian Jews, there is a huge number of mixed marriages.

So, it is hardly necessary to work for the purity of blood here. That is why the Creator involuntarily forces us to accept as a Jew a person with a corrected spirit who aspires to the spiritual attainment of the world and not someone who performs some earthly actions and believes that this is the whole of Judaism.

A Jew is a state of the soul. If a person’s desires are directed toward bestowal and love for others and through them toward the Creator, toward the revelation of the Creator, and this is the most important goal for him, such a person is called Yehudi from the word “Yehud”—unity, rapprochement with the Creator.

Question: What is your opinion, as a Kabbalist, about the Hellenization of the Jews? How could one accept such a primitive Greek ideology of those times and leave a very advanced Jewish philosophy?

Answer: The fact is that we do not quite understand those times. Beginning with the tenth century B.C.,when the Jews came out of Egypt and crossed the desert into the land of Israel, they fell into disputes between their clans and families.

Moses stayed on the other side of the Jordan; he did not enter the land of Israel. As usually is the case when a leader dies or leaves his people, an upheaval began. Some followed the leaders who arose among the Jewish people, which believed it necessary to worship statues, make signs and amulets, build shrines, etc.

Many different trends arose in the nation. Naturally, nothing good came out of it. The people split into many groups. Ten of the twelve tribes left the land of Israel because they were not willing to participate in the disputes against each other. There were only two tribes left that kept feuding between themselves.

For ten centuries they have risen and fallen in their commitment to true Judaism. There were many different tribes living in the land of Israel, and each tribe had its own gods, its own statues, etc. Therefore, the Jews had enough blows to break away from worshiping the spirit and to transition to worshiping stones.

Question: Why did the powerful Greek Empire, which had existed for about six centuries, collapse?

Answer: It fulfilled its mission. It helped transform Kabbalah into modern Judaism and all kinds of religions. It built a bridge between Kabbalah and Islam, and created Orthodox Christianity.

Thus, the Greek Empire practically fulfilled its intermediate role in history. Byzantium was the crossroad between Judaism, Kabbalah, and modern religions.

Question: What is your opinion about the translation of the Torah into Greek?

Answer: The Torah cannot be translated into any language at all because its translation always becomes a source of all kinds of distortions.

Hebrew in its inner meaning cannot be adequately translated into another language because it implies completely different, spiritual concepts that do not exist in other languages because they do not have a spiritual root.

Question: But we are talking about the 3rd century BC. At that time, there were sages who understood this. Why did they still allow the translation of the Torah?

Answer: What do you mean “allowed”? They themselves were no longer at a high spiritual level so they could not stop anything. The masses turned away from them because there was a huge revelation of egoism, and that was the end of it.

The spreading of Kabbalah to the masses, which spanned from the 10th century BC to the 1st century AD, has ended. Then came all sorts of religious interpretations. This is where Judaism in its modern form appeared.

Comment: In Judea, the Greek language practically replaced Hebrew and Aramaic. Even the leaders of the Jewish people wrote in Greek.

My Response: Of course. If you follow someone, if you think someone is more progressive, then that’s it.

Comment: The famous historian Josephus Flavius wrote that the Greek king Ptolemy II wanted to establish his kingdom upon the law of the Torah: “Love your neighbor as yourself” and was ready to pay any price for it. But when he saw that Jews started to fight among themselves, Greece turned against them.

My Response: Yes, the Jews themselves showed an example that this is impossible to do. It became clear that laws of bestowal and love cannot be spread among people in a direct way.

Question: In ancient times, Greek philosophers learned from the Hebrew prophets. There is a lot of evidence about this. A few hundred years later, the Hellenization of the Jews, mainly the elite, began. What is your opinion on this?

Answer: The fact is that the Greeks had nothing with which to oppose Judaism because it did not rise above all kinds of wild rituals. And what they received from the Jews, in particular from the Kabbalists, gave them the opportunity to develop their religion.

The same thing that happened among the Jews themselves when they gradually created their religion from Kabbalah happened to other peoples. Either they were on the side of the Jewish people and received  all kinds of knowledge and experience from it, their attitude to higher powers and to human destiny, or they transformed it.

It is said that Abraham also sent his disciples to the East, and there they founded the Eastern teachings. Thus, all teachings and religions originated from what was received from the ancient Jews or rather from the Kabbalists.

But since Kabbalah is a very complex system for implementation, each nation adapted it in its own way. This is how all kinds of religions and spiritual practices arose.

Comment: A person has such desires, which in Kabbalah are called “Yavanim,” which means Greeks.

My response: The Greeks (Yavanim, Mityavnim) are those people who want to materialize their aspirations for the upper world. They do not understand spirituality without any totems, some signs of stone, wood, etc. This is how all religions gradually arose. Since then, the Jewish religion has changed a lot. After it, Christianity and Islam appeared.

Question: Do you consider this a natural process? Was this supposed to happen?

Answer: Yes. Once people lost such a leader as Moses, they broke away from a clear aspiration for the spirit and began to see it in wood and stones. Many branches of true Judaism appeared. This is how the Hellenization of hundreds of thousands of Jews took place.

Question: Ancient Greek myths developed between the 10th and 8th century BC, and they influenced the culture of many nations. The Greeks gave material forms to the forces of nature. According to their beliefs, the Earth was inhabited by monsters, giants, and cyclopes.

Then the period of the philosophers started: the Sophists, the Pythagoreans, and Socrates. Some facts that belong to this period indicate that they were educated by Kabbalists. Is this really true?

Answer: To start with, the Jewish religion in its original form did not shy away from anyone who came to it because Jews themselves appeared in Ancient Babylon as a part of the population that broke away from the Babylonians and started following the principle of “love your neighbor as yourself.” This was their religion, not just a belief but an action.

All actions as a result of which a person becomes able to treat his neighbor as himself and begins to feel the entire nature through this connection are the foundation of the true Jewish religion—called Kabbalah.

Question: Is there Kabbalistic astrology?

Answer: No! There is no Kabbalistic astrology. There is only Kabbalah.

There is no divination by stars in it. Do not attach any red strings, holy water, Tarot, mysticism, or meditations to Kabbalah, although you can find a lot of pseudo-literature on those topics.

Spirituality is what develops in a person without any connection to the attributes of our world. This means that it is not related to stars or what is around me, only to what is in me.

Question: Does Quantum Physics explain the power of our thoughts?

Answer: I cannot vouch for Quantum Physics since there are additional aspects that are published every day with regard to it in the form of different theories and methods. In the past, I used to keep up with the new publications all the time, but now for a long time, I have not engaged in it.

The fact that we can manage different actions through our thoughts is true. After all, thought is the highest power. Above it, is only desire. So, if the desires and thoughts of a person are correctly directed, then the power of the Creator is put on in them, and the person creates.

In principle, we do everything that we need to do to correct the creation by our thoughts and our desires, in which the thoughts and desires of the Creator are clothed.

Question: When we call the upper force the Creator, we are as if personifying it. If the spiritual space is a field of consciousness, can we talk about the subject to whom this consciousness belongs?

Answer: No. There is no subject.

Question: How can consciousness be without a subject, without an “I”?

Answer: Spiritual space spreads everywhere, fills and includes everything. There is nothing else besides it. And we are inside of it. The concept of “subject,” however, implies that you must limit it by some qualities.

The quality of bestowal, on the contrary, means that everything is outside and nothing is limited. Only bestowal. Everything that exists besides Him, is created by Him in order for His creation to attain Him.

Question: How does the process of cognition take place in the spiritual? Or is there no such thing?

Answer: For the Creator?! No. There is nothing there but the quality of bestowal. Therefore, consciousness at this level does not exist. Consciousness always comes from the fact that something is missing.

Comment: If we are talking about the field of information, then this seems clearer to us.

My Response: But this is in regard to us! We feel this field relative to us, and we cannot say anything about it in itself—who, what, and how—only how we perceive Him in our sensations, how He is revealed in relation to us.

Comment: In religion, of course, everything is mixed up. However, Kabbalistic sources also kind of personify the Creator.

My Response: We need to define this concept in some kind of words: He feels, He thinks, He is angry, He rejoices. Everything we say is only in relation to a person in order to tie him to the Creator. Just as you can talk about some machine, device, or equipment, and project your feelings on this object.

Question: Does this personification disappear when we rise spiritually?

Answer: Absolutely. There is nothing left but the field of bestowal. It is infinite, has no gradation! And only we perform spiritual actions in it.
