Question: What should we feel first: the desire (lack) of the Creator or the desire of a friend?

Answer: It can be both. We must come to adhesion with the Creator, that is, to complete connection with the quality of bestowal. This can be achieved only through the group.

Therefore, you must first fully connect with the ten. This can only be done if you demand that the Creator gives you the quality of connection, the quality of mercy (Hassadim), so that He will influence you with surrounding Light (Ohr Makif) with the help of which you can unite with your friends.

You use the Creator to unite with your friends and you do it in order to adhere to the Creator. This is a constant triangle.

Therefore, you must act in both ways. That is, use the ten in order to achieve adhesion with the Creator, to give Him pleasure, to work for Him; and on the other hand, unite within the ten. In order to do this, you need to turn to the Creator so that you have the power to unite with the ten. You must constantly spin in this triangle.

The most important thing is to come “from the love of friends to the love of the Creator.” Therefore, use the Creator to achieve love of friends, and from them, from the highest point that can be achieved, the union called love, when you are included into one desire and one intention, you will be directed toward the Creator together as one whole.

Rabash, “Concerning the Importance of Friends”: But how can one consider one’s friend as greater than himself, when he can see that his own merits are greater than his friend’s, that he is more talented and has better natural qualities?

This is right. Egoism is always setting us up. But under the influence of the Light everything changes.

We are only egoistic beings. There is nothing in me but one hundred percent egoism. To the extent that the Light influences me, it weakens egoism in me a little and I begin to feel that others are above me.

I begin to understand that what I had seen before and that now is different depends only on the intensity of the Light that affects me. And there is no truth.

Therefore, if I want to be closer to the Creator and become like Him, then I want the Light to act on me as much as possible. At the same time, I understand that then I will look like the lowest and slowest person, who does not understand anything. But I don’t care; on the contrary, it pleases me because I reveal the truth that there is nothing in me except egoism.

Thus, the first action of the Light is the feeling that everything in me speaks of egoism. And the second is that instead of egoism, the property of the Light is beginning to take shape in me.

Question: If I feel that many forces are working within and outside of me, how does this fit with the statement that “There is none else besides Him” (Deuteronomy 4:35)?

Answer: The Creator is an immense quantity of forces joined together into a single force field. But this is Him: one desire, one goal, and many forces that are connected together to bring everyone to a single state. Therefore, we are influenced by many forces, thoughts, and desires of various kinds.

Question: What difference does it make for the law of nature if I agree with its uniqueness or not?

Answer: The fact is that the thought of the Creator is to bring all creatures to a full connection with Him, to attain the same level of universal and integral existence as His.

Question: If representatives from Hollywood were to come to you and offer to make a movie about the Creator, what kind of picture would you show?

Answer: I would show a network of forces: how multifaceted and multidimensional they are. It is possible and necessary to talk about the Creator, gradually bringing awareness about Him to every person.

Question: In which circumstances can the Creator cut off the connection with me and take away the awareness that He manages everything?

Answer: Even if that happens, you must acknowledge that the Creator is doing this too. The main thing is to understand that it is from Him. Everything begins from that.

Question: Why do I get punished for my thoughts if they are not mine?

Answer: There are no punishments in the world! There is no reward either. There is simply learning, when a person is taught how to come to the revelation of the uniqueness of the Creator, because this is the only goal of our development.

Question: It is said that we were created according to the image and the likeness of the Creator. What do “image” and “likeness” mean?

Answer: This is not about a person in our world, but about the creation of Adam, that is, a system that fully resembles the Creator and exists according to His image and likeness.

Question: If the Creator manages me by sending me all kinds of thoughts, then does he bear responsibility for the consequences of the actions to which these thoughts that are sent by Him bring me?

Answer: Don’t worry about Him; He can bear responsibility for everything, even in regard to Himself.

Remark: Some people believe that the Creator you are talking about is not very reliable. And others say that if we pray to Him, He will help.

My Comment: But before He helps, He throws a mound of troubles and problems on them, and apparently, after that He helps. They have a good Creator, but He is somewhat inconsistent.

Question: Why is a person so attracted to conversations about the soul?

Answer: It is because the soul is the source of life; it is our essence, what we in reality represent through ourselves. We exist infinitely in spiritual space. We are very close to the start of our revelation of the soul in our time.

Question: What parts does the soul consist of?

Answer: The soul consists of ten Sefirot. When you connect in a ten you will gradually reveal the structure of the soul within it. A sensation of fulfillment will appear between you. It is called the Light of the soul or the Creator.

Question: People often say “My soul is tormented.” What does it mean?

Answer: Let’s instead reveal what the soul is. The soul is a part of the Creator in us, the property of bestowal and love, the property of connection between us.

Question: For thousands of years, billions of people have been praying for their unfilled desires to be filled. Where are their answers and what is the sense of praying to an unknown Creator?

Answer: First, they ask egoistically. We are trying to reach requests for altruism, the property of bestowal and love—this is the most important thing.

Second, in order to really ask correctly, we try to bring this request through the ten so that it is the same for everyone, collected and coordinated with everyone. From this Minyan (the ten), all ten people rush with one request to the Creator.

The ten is one spiritual unit. If you do not ask from the ten, then you are not a spiritual unit and the Creator does not feel you.

You often ask: “And if I myself ask for my relatives?” …Ask. In the end, you will see that the whole world does this, but nothing happens.

The request must originate from the Kabbalistic group that clearly understands that the system in which we exist is created as an egoistic one on purpose in order for us to ask only for our correction and raise this request correctly.

Question: Do the friends in the ten have to hear my words, know about them, or is it my personal inner state when, from our connection, I appeal to the Creator for them?

Answer: They do not need to hear your words. But in principle, if you ask, it is best to appeal to the Creator with the desires that have been agreed upon in the ten. Not at the moment, but in general when the ten agrees with this and would also like to participate in raising this desire to the Creator.

Question: How can I ask for the ten if I have no words, where no words are suitable?

Answer: You do not need words. You can just sigh or cry. This is also a request.

A request is an expression of your inner aspirations, of what you think is missing in the ten. Try to put your common desire together as if you were creating some form from clay. Collect it together. This will be your request to the Creator.

Question: Can one just say one of the names of the Creator?

Answer: No names, no mantras, no memorizing of conversational patterns—nothing is needed. You will continue to make mistakes.

You can just sit quietly, each one asking the Creator from their hearts, as you have agreed. Try to do this at least for a couple of minutes; this is a good exercise.

As for the names, when you are already at the upper levels and begin to gather the ten Sefirot, representing some qualitative and quantitative meanings, and you put together a spiritual Partzuf, form your soul, consisting of ten Sefirot, then the general force that is created from such arranged desires will be called the name of the Creator.

There is a certain set of such names, that is, states of the ten that are interconnected. These are the names of the Creator.

Question: You often say: “The Creator said.” What do you mean? Who did He speak to? When did He speak?

Answer: Naturally, the Creator has neither a mouth nor a tongue, nor vocal cords. We simply express ourselves in earthly language.

The Creator is a force. A force not even in the physical sense of the word, but in thought. There is nothing but thought. We constantly exist inside it. And the fact that it seems to us that we have physical bodies, properties, and qualities—there is nothing of that.

There is only thought.

Question: When I hear something from someone, can I say that through him the Creator speaks to me?

Answer: Yes. This is a different matter. In this way, He communicates with us.

But for this, you need to have a repeater, a re-transmitter, in you; when listening to a person, you begin to understand what the Creator wants to tell you. You must translate his speech into spiritual language. Then you will hear divine words from people, even from a street sweeper. He will not know what he is saying, and you will listen to the revelations of the Creator through him.

Question: Why does animal fear come back from time to time although I have already made sure and felt that no evil comes from the Creator?

Answer: It does not matter. I can understand that everything comes from the Creator, He plays with me like that. And then—oops! I’m shaking like a rabbit under a bush again.

Question: What is the way out of this?

Answer: Move forward rising by faith above reason. Only this. Thank the Creator for leading us through such animalistic fears. In this way we will be constantly moving.

Everything depends on the group, on how much a person rises in faith above reason.

Question: Is a Kabbalist afraid too?

Answer: A Kabbalist has even deeper fears. Especially during the descents. He cannot be in faith above reason all the time. He must fall into reason and then rise into faith. And he agrees to everything.

He goes through states that are much sharper and more controversial than a common man. His states of fear and devotion to the goal literally throw him from the abyss to the peak.

Question: Is it true that a Kabbalist is not afraid for himself, but is only afraid not to harm the Creator.

Answer: How could he not be afraid for himself? If he does not experience such states, in relation to what will he measure himself? As it is written: “When you hid your face, I was terrified.” The Creator gives him such states.

Question: When a person attains the Creator and becomes similar to Him in qualities, does he stop dressing into a physical body?

Answer: There are a number of Kabbalists in our world who are with us in the same sensation of this world and we can have a connection with them.

At the same time, they exist in the spiritual world and allow us to be connected with it. There are few such people, but there is no need for a large number of them. This is unnecessary because we have little need for spirituality in our world.

Question: We know that a correct prayer is the prayer for others. But when I do not have strength to truly pray, but despite this I make an effort, does such a prayer bring a positive result?

Answer: It actually does not, because this is not a prayer but an incorrect request.

The Creator is a general force of nature that receives only one’s true, not artificial, desires. This is like dropping onion juice in your eyes and weeping. Is there any benefit from this? It is the same here.

There is no need to pretend. We should study Kabbalah trying to understand our relationship with the upper force and how and what to ask it for. We must make sure that our requests nevertheless follow the path of our development and ask for our next, more elevated states.
