Question: Is there a time interval between turning to the system and receiving an answer from it or does a Kabbalist receive an answer immediately?

Answer: You receive the answer immediately. The question is whether you understand the answer.

Question: Would you say that convincing yourself and understanding is the same thing?

Answer: Convincing yourself is not enough; understanding is a big problem. But these are all parts of your approach to the Creator, the higher system. The supreme management system is called the Creator.

Question: Is my correct request reflected in the world and then I see that the world is corrected?

Answer: To the same degree that you begin to be corrected, you will begin to see the world as corrected.

Question: What is the difference between turning to the center of the group with a request to the Creator and then the group bringing my request upward, and my turning directly to the Creator?

Answer: If your request and the request of each member of the group and all of them together are compatible, then the combined request directly influences your relationship with the Creator.

Question: How can one not forget to ask to resemble the Creator during good situations?

Answer: To do this, you must have a group that will remind you about it and you will remind them. Then, in good situations you will remember to turn to the Creator. However, in bad situations, there is no need for a reminder because then your ego will push you.

Question: Why are people who still do not have broad knowledge of the wisdom of Kabbalah and how to ask the Creator correctly able to turn with a request and get a result, while other people cannot understand why the Creator does not hear them?

Answer: That is completely incorrect. Let them ask, let them address as the wisdom of Kabbalah suggests, and then we shall talk.

Question: Is the imaginary control over others anything like controlling oneself? By controlling yourself, is it possible to help others?

Answer: That is basically correct.

Question: Should a desire to ask the Creator be awakened first or should one ask in any case even if one does not want to?

Answer: Even if you don’t want to, you should ask anyway. This will gradually awaken the right connection in you with the Creator. You can start in any situation, any way you wish, but a true and effective request that you will get an answer for must move through the group.

Question: Does the Creator hear us only if we pray about the problems of the members of our group?

Answer: You are asking to acquire the property of bestowal, love of others, being like the Creator; therefore, He will hear this.

Question: How can everyone be equal to the Creator if everyone is different even according to the root of the soul?

Answer: In an absolutely closed integral system, there is no small or great, there is no close or far, everyone is absolutely identical.

Question: When we talk about faith above reason in Kabbalah does it mean the same as the word “faith”does as is generally accepted in our world?

Answer: No, faith in the wisdom of Kabbalah has nothing to do with the earthly understanding of this word. The category of faith is not in philosophy, psychology, or everyday life.

Faith is the property of bestowal, which is formed in us under the influence of the upper force. When I say that I believe in something, it means that I simply have a certain connection with some phenomenon. But this is in no way connected with the faith that Kabbalah implies.

In Kabbalah, the concept of faith is a special property that arises in a person under the influence of the upper force, upper light. Only then can one make absolutely altruistic actions that are completely unrelated to himself. It is as if he has an additional body—a spiritual one, and with its help it works.

Question: Where does the Creator want to bring us? What is “genuine goodness”?

Answer: The Creator’s goal is to bring us to complete resemblance with Him. This is called “good” because He is absolute and wants to bring us to an absolute state.

Question: In Talmud Eser Sefirot, it is written that the desire to receive pleasure in and of itself is neither bad, good, nor lowly. It is bad only because it isolates us from the Creator. So, if we want to attain the Creator, then is this a bad desire?

Answer: This refers to the desire to receive. If it isolates me from the Creator or I want to use the Creator to fulfill an egoistic need, this is a bad use of desire.

Question: Do I understand correctly: the Creator does everything for the best, and good and evil are given to us in order to understand the difference between them and continue our advancement?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What are the degrees of power over the heart and over spiritual states?

Answer: The power over the spiritual state lies in domination over egoism, since it separates us from the spiritual one. It is possible to master egoism only with the help of the upper light. It does not depend on our willpower, strength of our character, or the stern vows that we take upon ourselves.

It all depends on how much a person includes himself in the group and can dissolve in it. In this measure, he will more correspond to the higher light, the property of the Creator, and will gradually become closer to Him.

The Creator is not always in hiding. I can reveal Him at some stage, and He will immediately disappear so that I can go further and focus even more on Him. Suppose I caught Him with my new, more corrected properties, and He disappears again so that I again focus on Him with my kinder properties, which I develop in even greater conjugation with the group, and so on.

If I am a part the ten, we should make such mutual intersections with each other so that a uniform field appears between us.

When we strive to create this field, the Creator appears within it. That is, the Creator is the result of the desire of the ten to be as one. This is the main condition.

Question: If I am complete egoism, in what can I become similar to the upper force?

Answer: It is possible to become similar to the upper force only if you strive for a balance between two forces: egoism and altruism. The force that naturally arises in you is your egoism and it seems to you that it is you. But it is not you, it is also the Creator.

You are something absolutely neutral, like a slightly frozen jelly, in which constantly without interruption, egoistic power is stirred from birth to death, and it seems to a person that it is him.

However, he is given the opportunity to balance this negative force with a positive one, which he must independently ask of the Creator. This is exactly how he gets closer to the Creator and unites with Him. He asks the Creator to teach him to be in balance with the positive force so two opposing forces appear and balance, called the middle line, emerges between them.

This middle line, which arises in the balance between the right (altruistic) and the left (egoistic) lines, is called Adam (human) because exactly in it he becomes similar to the Creator.

By having a good command of both egoism and altruism, a person can interact with them correctly, constantly balancing up and down and rising on this balance. The main thing is that he learns to maintain balance. This is our work.

Question: What does it mean to think and analyze? Should I just sit and think that I want to attain spirituality? Or does this imply my actions toward the friends?

Answer: The action is very simple: all my thoughts and feelings should have one basis—the Creator. He creates, enlivens, and places everything that I think and feel in me. Whatever happens to me, whatever manifests in me, the Creator does it all.

Therefore, it is advisable to constantly be in the thought that “there is none else besides Him.” If I aspire to the same thoughts and feelings of the friends and try to unite all our hearts and mind, then we connect all our efforts together into a single massive common effort, one big heart and one big head in which we want to feel the Creator as the source, as the root cause of our feelings and our mind.

If we, in such a way insistently demand that He reveal Himself to us as the cause of our thoughts and feelings, then we very quickly come to a state where, with the help of the upper light, the Creator begins to manifest in us.

Question: How can I tell when I deny the Creator’s governance? Can it bring me material or spiritual harm?

Answer: You cannot know this. If you could know, you would never exit egoism, you would do everything to get the maximum egoistic reward for yourself and would harm yourself spiritually by doing so.

You cannot obtain this knowledge until you begin to act altruistically, above yourself.

Question: If there is no time in spirituality, what is the direct path? Is it shorter?

Answer: There is no time in spirituality. It has nothing to do with our world. There are 6,000 years until the end of the correction. It is now year 5779. So 221 years remain to the final correction.

However, we can achieve it sooner. In general, whatever the science of Kabbalah predicted happened precisely by the clock. After the final correction, the whole world will rise to the level of the upper world.

Question: Have you ever seen a ten in our world that reached the light of Hassadim?

Answer: I haven’t. Close to it, yes. Not a ten, but a smaller number of people.

Question: How long did it take them to reach that state?

Answer: It doesn’t matter because it depends on many variables. Such revelation can happen with five to six people in a couple of years, or might take a decade for a ten. But I don’t believe that it can happen sooner than in three to five years. This is the minimal time.

Question: You have said that we should change. Should I read a Kabbalah book in order to change, and having changed, should I read it again but on a different level, and so on, up to the last level?

Answer: Yes, that is right. You are correct.

Question: If we are talking about building spiritual relationships, what are the points of an effective request that I, the emotional element, can make to the source of all of my states, to the Creator?

Answer: Asking the Creator correctly is a big problem. The Creator listens to all of our petitions, but only answers a correct request. It is difficult to achieve.

Question: How does one relate to envy?

Answer: A person is always envious. If I attend a sewing course, aren’t I envious of those who already sew well?

Question: Suppose I just thought of something and it happens. Is this an altruistic desire that has been realized correctly?

Answer: I cannot answer your question because I am not experiencing your situation. We do not speak of personal states.

Question: When we begin to learn the wisdom of Kabbalah, how can we be sure that we are doing everything correctly, in the best way?

Answer: Follow the right teacher. There is no other way.

Question: What does it mean to turn to the Creator through the group?

Answer: To do this, you must attend the lessons and participate in conventions. Turning through the group is our principal work, our main task. To understand how this is done takes a long time, a long period in life.
