The Successor of Rabash’s Work

912Question: Why was it you who remained the successor of Rabash’s work?

Answer: First, he prepared me for this. During all of the 12 years I was with him, I received sensory and factual information from him. I was preparing for this, writing down everything he said, I was writing and summarizing all his lessons.

I received a great amount of material from him. Of course, he invested a lot in me. We are still in contact with him.

And the fact that every day I say something new, know how to navigate in a completely new environment, in a new world compared to all the others, and that I can more and more reveal the method of spiritual correction: individual, private, and the general world, does this come from me? Who am I? I open my mouth, and from the inside, I feel that it all comes from him.

The Kabbalistic hierarchy, the chain remains. Naturally, I remain the same little disciple of his! Over the years, I realize more and more how small I am relative to him.

Between Upper and Lower

961.2Question: How much effort did you have to make to feel what your teacher was saying?

Answer: A lot.

Question: You did not always agree with him, did you?

Answer: Of course not.

Question: Did you fight?

Answer: I did not fight against him, although sometimes I had a desire to give him an ultimatum: “No, not like this!” and so on. This is the natural reaction of our egoism.

But the fact is that I always understood that there was no other way, and I tried to work on it. There is no other way! I constantly researched the methodology, and it appeared to me to be very logical and perfect.

I kept trying to find a gap in it where there were still some inconsistencies and contradictions in it. You know, like in some physical theory. In the end, on the contrary, I was revealing only its perfection.

Therefore, I tried very hard to understand everything to the end. But to understand, it is necessary to engage in the implementation of the methodology. This is number one.

Number two is dissemination. After all, realization does not consist only in receiving from the upper, which is the teacher. He is the upper, he stands before you, in front of you, and only through him will you receive spiritual sensations. By this, you are bound to him forever. Such is the hierarchy of souls. And most importantly, you are searching: “Who will receive from me? To whom can I transfer all this?”

When you work with the source and become a transmitter for others, then you begin to properly contact both the upper and the lower. This gradually makes you a more and more corrected element of the spiritual world, the spiritual system.

I tried to work tirelessly in these two directions: to receive from the teacher and to prepare to pass on to others. I think that it was these two movements, me toward him and me toward the others, that brought me to this.

Rabash’s Articles Are His Priceless Gift to People

209If you become absorbed in reading the articles of Rabash, it becomes clear that they are all priceless. It is impossible to say that some articles are less important because of their small size. They all strike accurately and right on target.

Therefore, every year I appreciate these articles more and more, although from the very beginning I did not think that these articles contained so much. It seemed to me that they were written simply because Rabash was obliged to write a new article for his students once a week. Every Thursday we gathered in our tens and read the weekly article. I thought that Rabash wrote simply so that we would have something to read.

Over time, of course, I wised up and realized that each article contains a great secret and a special message transmitted to us by Rabash in a carefully thought-out form. Although these articles may seem simple and easy to us, in fact, through them we receive an opportunity to establish a connection with the very center of creation, with its purpose.

Over the years I appreciate these articles more and more, and I am amazed at the greatness of Rabash and his special spiritual height more and more. With these articles he did special work for the glory of the Creator. Without them, we would not be able to open our soul and reach the correct connection with the Creator.

Therefore, when reading these articles, you need to accept what you read with gratitude. If it seems to us that they are talking about some simple and not very important things, we need to pay special attention to these places because we apparently do not understand at all what Rabash wanted to tell us about there.

In A Single System

234Question: When communicating with people, do you input information into them that will be revealed in them in the future, regardless of their desire?

Answer: Yes, we all do it unconsciously, and I do it consciously. And not only me, but all souls, all Kabbalists, who are not manifested in our world now.

We are all in one single system in the Malchut of the world of Infinity. And we cannot go anywhere. We are in nature!

Question: And how, without being in spiritual attainment, can I give out the material that the teacher gives me?

Answer: It doesn’t matter. You just open your pipe, and everything else goes through you.
It is like you are talking to someone, you turn on the contact through some wiring, and you give your frequency through this wire, and there are still higher frequencies that you don’t feel at all.

Question: In principle, I will not be able to describe any spiritual states with my brain because I do not know them. But at the same time, when I realize something, by this l let in the energy of Kabbalists?

Answer: Yes, you are still participating in this system.

When a Kabbalist Is Not in Demand

961.2Question: You say that your teacher Rabash suffered a lot internally. What caused him these sufferings?

Answer: A Kabbalist lives in this world as long as he is needed. It does not depend on him. For example, an ordinary person lives as long as he is destined: 60, 70, 80, 90, even 120 years. And for a Kabbalist, everything is built on serving others, leading them.

Therefore, if people need him, he continues to exist in this world. If not, then he has other functions because he simultaneously performs several tasks, not only the upbringing of spiritual offsprings.

Such a time came for Rabash when people around him partially ceased to need him. I felt it too: everything went into automatism and unwillingness to change, his students became Hasidic.

By the way he behaved and thought, I felt that he was putting his thoughts and affairs in order, internally sorting and systematizing students, attitude to the world, the world, and so on, before leaving.

I had no idea that he was leaving, but there was a feeling of “autumn,” the fading of life.

Question: Was it in his power to suspend this process and wake up again?

Answer: No. Only the disciples with their very strong desire, striving for the goal, could call him to life so that he would transmit on them the light of correction that they would demand. But he was not in demand. If a Kabbalist is not in demand, he has nothing to do in this world.

Two-Way Motion

243.05What does it mean to move in spirituality? This is when you are both in a state of maximum bestowal to the teacher and you can receive from him, and in a state of maximum bestowal to everyone else and then they connect to you as they involuntarily transmit to you their desires, their inner aspirations.

Therefore, on one hand you accept huge desires from them, meaning, you are filled with huge desires for spirituality, and on the other hand you get a connection with a higher source from which you can receive.

Being between these two elements of the universe, the higher and the lower, you grow. After all, each of us is nothing but an adapter between the highest and the lowest.

Look how it happens in our generations! What are generations and what is “I”? “I” is me plus my wife who were born from the previous generation, and now we give birth and raise the next generation. If we don’t do this, then there won’t be a generation.

So it is in the spiritual. Each generation is evaluated by how much it can get everything from the previous one and develop a more perfect future out of itself. This is its merit.

The Power of the Desire

961.2Question: If a person feels a certain influence from you, feels your energy, does it affect the hastening of his understanding of spirituality?

Answer: It depends only on his work.

Question: How was it for you with your teacher?

Answer: We were attuned to each other: I to him, and he to me! We worked in unison! I wanted to receive from him, and he wanted to pass on to me! He worked in order to form within me everything that is possible: fill, fulfill, and so on. And I was in some part a passive recipient, and in some part an active one.

Question: How did you agree to come to this?

Answer: We did not. This is a desire. There is no way to agree in words here. This is simply a desire to annul oneself before the teacher, and then the student becomes able to receive from him. It is also necessary for the teacher to have the desire and vision of what he really needs to give to this student because he sees a possibility to continue the spiritual transmission to the world in the future.

Dissemination Chain

528.04Question: You have repeatedly explained that dissemination needs to be passed on to the next level. Who decides what step to take? You cannot just spread information into the air. How does the process of further connection happen?

You had everything clearly set: your teacher, you, and your students. And your students have such layers, some more, some less.

Answer: So what? Everything will be determined for them as well. They are already connected with thousands of people in the world, and they will be with millions and billions. Everyone will gradually become connected.

Question: But everyone has a definite goal in their inner development: this one connects with such and such people, that one with others. Or is it chaotic?

Answer: No one chooses anyone. Whoever comes comes. Did I choose you? Or anyone else?

They come and that is it. They knock on the door and enter. Admission is free. And then everything depends on the student, on his inner structure, on the structure of his soul, and on how much he can place himself as a student.

In general, everything should be done as freely as possible to give a person only information, to push him. And then everything will flow by itself.

The Lesson Is a Correction

261Question: What is the process of the lesson that you are giving?

Answer: It is a correction. I receive desires from others, and these desires give me the opportunity to attract light.

It turns out that I work all of the time with new desires, fulfillments, and saturations. This is how the correction of all new desires of people who are both close and far from us happens because they are all connected to us.

All the desires of people who are in our network and are aiming for some spiritual goal (which may even perhaps still be unclear to them) are connected together. I feel them and perform a spiritual action on them. That is why I do not get tired at all during the lesson.

The Difference Between Kabbalah and Sufism

583.04Comment: There is a principle that a student should be a rag at his teacher’s feet.

My Response: Firstly, that was not said by me. Secondly, it is not a rag, but “ashes at the teacher’s feet,” that is, dust.

I remember meeting in England with a great Sufi of the world, an Iranian, a very wise old man. He told me: “If you want to be my disciple, you must come here and serve me completely. So that you love me as you love yourself.”

This is absolutely true! Sufis have the same system as Kabbalah. In principle, it comes from the same source, from Abraham. Therefore Sufis have been engaged in spiritual things for centuries.

Question: Why does Sufism not provide a method of correction?

Answer: Because it does not have three lines of development.

Sufism cannot develop through egoism since only the right line predominates in it. It seems to exist in the same plane. The left line cannot develop at all and attain the spiritual world even a little because it is a single egoism.

Kabbalah is the middle line, which uses both forces, right and left. Therefore a person can grow. We see what state of continuous inner evolution we are in.

Question: Is there any danger that the Kabbalistic method may descend to the lowest trifles?

Answer: No, the Kabbalistic method does not descend. It becomes common, popular, and universal! It comes out of its hiding place and is revealed to everyone!
