Question: To what extent do you feel this world? Is there still some sort of borderline? If some experts in their field come up to you and claim: “I am very good at it,” and you do not need to plunge into it. Is there any borderline here?

Answer: If specialists in something artificially created by man in any field come to me, then I can learn something from them for the purpose of dissemination. And for my personal spiritual elevation, I do not need any specialist.

But since I deal with teaching, that is, I turn to students, I am happy to meet with specialists. They help me find new examples and develop the language.

I published several books with psychologists. And I can also talk about Kabbalah with historians from a historical perspective, and so on. That is, I am ready to communicate with them.

Let the physicists come. It is more difficult to find a common language with them, but still it is possible somewhere on the so-called “periphery.” In other words, there is no common language inside physics and Kabbalah, but outside there is. For example, if physicists begin to tell me about all sorts of processes that take place in atoms, I will see them in the form of Reshimot, light, and Kli at different levels of entry and exit of the light when the screen expires, suppose from Tabur to Peh. It is interesting for me.

The same is true about chemistry, biology, zoology, and so on. The principle is the same! The exchange between plus and minus is all nature! There is nothing else. This is at different levels. After all, an electron, an atom is the basis of everything.

I have always strived for a complete picture of the world. A partial one never suited me. I could not stand a partial one! What is the point in sitting somewhere in a corner and picking at bugs there?! I could not stand it!

Only the general picture! Only the global one! You see, you understand, and you connect all the elements of the picture into one common whole, harmony, a huge panel, a palette of everything. It is breathtaking when everything opens up in front of you, and you see and feel it! It is fantastic!

Comment: You once said that we are not correcting ourselves, but we are correcting the connection between us.

My Response: Yes, of course. A person corrects not himself, but his attitude toward others and his connection with them.

Question: But everyone has their own qualities. How is our connection being corrected?

Answer: By merging with nature. You can be properly connected with others only if you wish to rise to the next degree of development, to the common force of nature.

You cannot connect with someone unless you acquire the force that holds the whole universe, unites all its parts and laws, and contains all the opposing forces.

This force is the global law of the universe, the balance and the connection of all forces. Einstein was so eager to find its formula, its manifestation. Naturally, he could not do this, because he was engaged in research at the level of inanimate matter. However for this, the vegetative, animate, and, especially, the human level is necessary.

Therefore, physicists today also do not succeed, although there are many theories close to it. They feel both the necessity and the need for it.

But the most important is the need, at any level of our correction, to pursue one common goal: to come to unity, to connect, so that the common force of nature supports us, manifests itself between us, and connects us.

Then we will really achieve unity because nature has this quality. It controls everything that exists—what we see and what we have not yet discovered.

The fact is that this single force is somehow relatively manifested at the inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels, but not at the human level because we ourselves must summon it, we ourselves must wish and understand where we lack it, and then it will fill all the voids between us.

When I discover that the right relationship is needed between you and me, then to the extent that we determine how much we need it, the force of nature that binds us will gradually open up and realize this connection.

Comment: Information about the creation of creation through the descent of the four stages of the development of desire has been available to the scientific world for a few hundred years already. However, no one has used it.

My Response: What does the scientific world have to do with it? It does not work with this data at all.

Question: But science is searching for the answer to the question of how the world was created. Various theories exist about this. Billions of dollars are invested in this research. Do you think there is a possibility that the Kabbalistic theory will be used in the future?

Answer: In general it is possible, but science has to come to some kind of dead end in order for this to happen. Then it will begin to re-examine itself: where did we stumble, make a mistake, or take a hypothesis as a given, which in general do not place?

When people start to question whether we are on the wrong path and that this is not the path of nature, but the path of our egoism, then they will find answers to their questions in Kabbalah.

Comment: Perhaps one of the reasons is that we are talking about the level of “human.” Therefore it is difficult for science to research it. Science has a relatively easy way to study inanimate and vegetative nature specifically.

My Response: Yes, here indeed we are talking about our desires. It is not easy to research them.

Comment: Criticism from the outside is considered an additional proof of the righteousness of the group is purported to be a defining factor of cults.

My Response: I do not think this is correct. Criticism from the outside is the natural criticism of people who do not understand what we are dealing with.

I think that we should not pay attention to criticism. Personally, it does not put me out of temper and does not set me against the critic. I do not disrespect him. There are even philosophers who come out against me. I do not perceive their words as criticism at all.

You can criticize when you understand the subject, when you have a clear opinion about it from the point of view of the knowledge of this subject. What if they do not know it? That is, they themselves have not attained it. Even so there are disputes among Kabbalists because this is science and this is the disclosure of a certain part of the universe—gradual, stepwise, to a bigger and bigger extent. There are Kabbalists who have revealed more and those who have revealed less, like scientists in our world.

Therefore there is discrepancy among them, disputes, and so on. I do understand this. There are some very interesting fights going on there. There are entire books devoted to how each of them perceives the unfolding universe and why. But they discuss it pointedly. Why do I perceive things differently from you? What is the problem? Why are we built in the way that we perceive the same thing differently?

There are different types of souls. Some of them relate to direct light, others to surrounding light, and so on. And it is precisely in their clash, in the process of clarification, that an even greater elevation of both of them takes place. They zealously argue among themselves, but these are people who are in the same attainment, in the same world, they have what to talk about, they understand each other, and their clarifications are very serious.

And what is there to talk about here? If I am reading a novel and crying, or watching a movie on TV and laughing, and a cat is sitting next to me, how can he participate in this? Not in any way. He is only moving his ear toward the sounds I am making and thinking: “What is the matter with the master? I wish he would sit quietly and doze.”

It’s the same with those who criticize. You irritate them with your studies of Kabbalah. They feel that there is something in you that you can explain everything and that your predictions come true, although you are not a fortune teller. Long before the crisis I said that it would come. And when it started I said that it would not end. But they shouted: “The crisis will be over in a year or two.” And now they are silent and do not contradict me.

But who is pleased when you predict such bad events? Moreover, nothing will change because of your predictions.

Everything can change only due to our intensified dissemination, and there is no point in just talking. There will be still more critics. Still more people will slander us, that we, so to say, hate everyone because we are talking badly about the future when we say: “We ourselves are to blame for what is happening.” And so on.

That is, people will of course defend themselves; this is their natural reaction. That is life.

Question: In some movements they promote not pondering over the group’s teachings. The members say: “It’s impossible to explain, come to us, you have to experience this.”

Answer: That is correct. There are things that you can’t appreciate from afar, even music, until you get used to it, understand it, receive explanations, and get trained. This is the same as culture that teaches a person how to perceive paintings, sounds, dancing, and ballet.

If they take you now to the opera, for example, you will run away from there, because you have a clip-perception. And here in front of you on stage for two or three hours, they will be singing about love, and you will be admiring and crying. You must be ready for this.

Comment: Often such misunderstanding is used as criticism.

My Response: Of course there will be criticism. How is it possible not to criticize what I don’t understand? It is easiest to say: “Ah, it’s worthless, empty.”

Personally I have no complaints about such people. They are just shallow, small people who, without being able to figure something out, talk about it.

Likewise, the lyrics philosophize about physics. But they have nonetheless the opportunity to ask around and understand something in an easy way, but this is impossible in Kabbalah. In Kabbalah, you must see it and feel it, because this attainment is not from our world, not in our senses. We do not have adequate perceptions about what we feel when we acquire spiritual sense organs.

That is why I have a problem explaining this to a person. My parents asked, “What are you doing anyway?” I couldn’t explain it to them.

I am engaged in Kabbalah.

What is this?

This is the science that speaks about the upper world.

And what is the upper world? Is it the world we get after death?

We get nowhere after death.

Where do the souls reside?

Souls don’t reside anywhere, there is no place.

Where then is the upper world?

And it doesn’t exist until I create it with my changed qualities.

“It looks like our child skidded off somewhere. It’s a pity, he gave such hope both for science and business. He gave up science, then opened his own business. Quit business and went somewhere into Kabbalah, and really got enslaved with Kabbalah,” my parents said and they left for Canada.

That is all.

Very often, people who do not attain the upper world like to talk about Kabbalah. How can they talk about it if they are unable to implement this method? They do not understand what it is at all and they draw their conclusions by analogy with something that seems similar to them, with Hinduism or some psychological or spiritual practices, nothing more than that.

We do not pay attention to it. What can you do with people who talk about what they do not feel and have not experienced for themselves? This is not serious and it is unscientific. It is done by people who either philosophize without attaining the material or express their opinion without understanding anything.

I have met such people and sometimes I had to listen to them because it is inconvenient to tell a person that he is small and stupid, although he may look important, is puffed up like a turkey, and may even be a scientist.

As a rule, serious scientists understand that this is not their field. They do not go into what they have not explored themselves. This applies only to philosophers and all kinds of mystics and journalists, those who think they understand something.

Scientists are struggling in search of new sources of energy. When a nuclear reaction occurs in the Sun or in a laboratory, energy is released that already existed in a latent form and it is just freed as a result of fusion. What is this energy that is hidden between people?

This is the greatest energy. In a nuclear reaction produced in a laboratory, we only split or combine material particles. While working with the energy that exists between people, we receive access to an unlimited source of energy. All this depends only on the relationship between people.

We will inevitably exhaust our ability to extract energy from inanimate, vegetative, or animate raw materials. We will have to add human desire here. This is a completely new approach, which is possible only if we have already mastered the inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels.

The energy of connection between people is unlimited because it belongs to the human level. In this way, we use the forces of nature acting between the Creator and the created beings. At the same time, we do not need to burn raw materials or split atoms. To do this, you do not need to create laboratories, you only need the thought of people who unite and think together about the way to jointly receive energy for the benefit of everyone.

The tank for producing this energy will also be only in thought. This thought, the purpose of creation, the connection of people, and mutual assistance will become an inexhaustible source of energy for us that is capable of providing all our needs.

If there is unity between us, unification in thoughts and desires, mutual help and support, and inner connection, then with our common desire we will come closer to the desire of the upper. In this form we use forces capable of maintaining such a connection between all the particles of matter, which produces energy of a higher level than all types of energy available to our imagination.

It will be the energy of the spiritual level, which appears simply from zero. This energy will give us light, heat, and it will work between us. We will be able to generate this energy with the power of thought alone.

We are talking about extracting from matter the concealed internal energy contained in it, which was placed there by the thought of creation. Then we will no longer need to build any power plants, we will receive energy without any auxiliary means, rather just in thought. It will be such energy that can be used for any purpose.

Even today we do not really understand what electricity is, we just learned how to use it. But here we are talking about the energy of a completely different level. However, the upper governance will not give us access to such super-energy until humanity corrects itself. We can come closer to it only if we want to use it only for the benefit of people.

To the extent that a person can act for the benefit of the other, for the sake of uniting people, he will receive permission to use the energy concealed inside matter. To do this, we need to short-circuit two forces on each other: the upper force of the Creator and the lower force of creation

Comment: Due to the growing popularity of Kabbalah and the development of the Bnei Baruch organization, there are many views on how to classify it. Some consider it as a cult. For example, it is considered that it offers you the exact recipe for success and happiness, just for you.

My Response: There is nothing personal or “just for you” in Kabbalah. It can only be for everyone because the universe is common, unified, and there can be no happiness for one.

Comment: According to the classification of cults, the first meeting opens up a completely new way of looking at things for people.

My Response: No, this is not the case in Kabbalah. By starting to study it, you are just beginning to realize that you are facing something radically new. But what exactly it is, you do not understand.

It takes a lot of time for a person to get into it. First he must prepare his senses and expand them. He must begin to work for bestowal, and then in this acquired quality, he will begin to feel the upper world that we are talking about.

The upper world is the world that is felt in our altruistic desires. While I do not have them, I do not reveal anything. I just feel that it is really something special: big, deep, and ancient. But this impression is very general. It may be incorrect. After all, all of it is individual.

Comment: When a person feels something unusual in Kabbalah, let’s say he checks some things in life.

My Response: No, these are not spiritual, but all kinds of personal psychological impressions, which he often has when confronted with something new—terrible or beautiful, it doesn’t matter what. This is not Kabbalah.

How can a person who has just started studying, at the first impression feel and understand what Kabbalah is?! It is not from our world at all. Therefore first he must see that there is a huge, ancient wisdom embedded in it. Maybe the first time he does not understand something, but instead he simply feels that this is not mysticism and not divination, i.e., it is absolutely nothing that he has read about anywhere else.

Initially, there was only one desire—it was the desire of the Creator to delight His creations. But the Creator broke this desire into tiny pieces, and they scattered, distancing themselves from each other according to the difference of their qualities, which was revealed during the breakage.

Thus, scientists assert that our universe was formed as a result of the Big Bang. In the beginning, it was just one point that exploded, and its particles began to scatter in all directions in search for balance.

The universe is still expanding, moving away from the central point where the connection once existed. We are still in the process of dispersing. But scientists say that this expansion must end, and the universe will begin to collapse back, meaning, we will begin to get closer and connect.

Somewhere in this process, a state of equilibrium will be reached depending on how we influence these huge cosmic forces and star clusters with our thoughts so that that they begin to get closer back to the center of the Big Bang.

We will see that we can influence all these billions of stars and bring them closer to each other to such an extent that perhaps they will unite again into one nucleus containing all the desire created by the Creator.

There are parallels in this between astrophysics and the science of Kabbalah. The fact is that every day and every moment we influence what is happening in the sky and what will happen to us with our thoughts.

When parts of the universe that seemed empty to us became accessible for observation by space telescopes, billions of stars suddenly opened up there. In place of an empty, dark space, it was as if another universe suddenly opened up to us.

This shows how infinite the world we are in is: both the spiritual world and the material world are endless. And we need to learn how to approach each other with desires and hearts, and then we might be able to see a response in the sky too.

Comment: When I came across Kabbalah and heard your talks, I felt that there is truth, that nothing else opened my eyes to reality so much. I really felt it on myself.

My Response: But you cannot say what it is. It has been revealed to you that this is indeed very serious knowledge but not yet what it represents. You just had the feeling of something opening.

Comment: I had seen, read, and studied various things before that, but it was Kabbalah that seemed real and authentic to me. I do not even have words to explain it.

My Response: I will tell you where it comes from. Kabbalah is an integral science that absorbs everything. It tells us about the upper root from which all branches descend into our world: control systems, education systems, inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human nature, systems that perceive it all back. That is, it is a science that speaks about the control of our world.

Therefore, whatever you say about our world, Kabbalah has its own very clear opinion and very deep management root. I can always find the root, how it happens, how it developed in the past, what quality it currently has, the place, how it is controlled from the outside, and what will happen to it in the future—in general, about everything.
