Question: Are spiritual and material events orchestrated in advance and occur as a pre-directed scenario of life?

Answer: Of course. That is how they come out. Are we the ones that make them happen? The world appears to us in its new forms, and we have to learn to understand them, attain them, associate ourselves with them, and as such progress.

At every moment you are presented with a certain picture of the world, you have to adapt to it, understand it, connect with it, and try to make it better. The way you understand the surrounding world is what determines your advancement.

In principle, each time you should see the world as a manifestation of the Creator. Can you imagine how flawed we must be to see the world around us as full of terrible things, depression, and awful tensions?

Question: Let’s say something is revealed to us. What should be my first reaction? Should I say “there’s none else besides Him”?

Answer: First of all, you have to understand that the Creator is the upper force that determines, acts, and fills everything. What this force is showing you is perfection, but you distort this picture to the degree of your corruptness by seeing it without the “glasses,” through the lens of your egoism.

Question: So, do I have to justify everything?

Answer: Not just justify, but to see and feel this perfection. You then have to adhere to Him in such a way that through this attainment, through the correction of corruptness to the level of perfection, you will unite with the Creator. On one side of the screen there is you, and on the other, Him.

Question: And if I see that I cannot attribute this force to “none else besides Him,” that I can’t justify it?

Answer: You have an opportunity to pray, to ask Him to correct you so that you will see the world as perfect.

But if you want this in order to feel good, you will not get anything. If, however, you want to see the world as perfect in order to not curse the Creator because it brings you pain, then you will receive. You are asking the Creator to give you the power to see Him the way He is: good that does good.

Question: How can I feel that the Creator is my partner in spiritual work?

Answer: I have to accept it a priori, and thus, appeal to Him. And then I will see that He responds immediately to my requests. The Creator is not a living person, but a system that responds to my correct requests.

And my requests are correct only if I take from Him what the world needs and selflessly pass it onto the whole Kli (soul/vessel) through myself. And each of us should do the same.

In essence, I want to become a conductor from Him to the world and from the world to Him. For this, I have to suffer all the sufferings of the world and form them in myself correctly so that all of them will be aimed at uniting with Him.

I re-register in myself all the egoistic desires of the world, envelop them with the intention for the sake of the Creator, and appeal to Him. And then I receive certain properties and knowledge from Him, and I can, by reforming them, give them to the world in such a way that the world will advance a little more through its egoism to the Creator.

Question: If there is no one else besides the Creator, then who am I and where am I?

Answer: You do not exist. You need to reach a state where there is no difference between you and the Creator and you absolutely do not feel that you have your own “I.” You merge with Him in thoughts, desires, and actions.

Question: Does the Creator also not have His “I”?

Answer: The Creator has no idea of His “I” since this is the only existing, initially eternal power, which is beyond time, space, and movement. Therefore, there are no such questions about the Creator because we cannot imagine in which coordinates He exists.

Question: Why does the Creator give me the sensation that my thoughts are my thoughts and my desires are my desires?

Answer: He does it in order for you to reveal that He is the source of all your thoughts and desires, both bad and good, all your actions, all that happens to you, around you, and outside of you.

While experiencing different thoughts, you consider them your own, but they are not yours.

Often a person catches himself realizing that these are not his thoughts. But where did they come from? Did they soar somewhere in the clouds and now landed in his head? Or he says: “No, I did not think so. Oh, I did not mean to say that.”

He in a way controls himself and sees that something wrong is happening with him. These are problems of our individuality and how we position ourselves.

Question: How do you, a Kabbalist, feel the hand of the Creator through what is happening to you? Can you decide anything at the level of this world?

Answer: No, I cannot. I can only agree with what the Creator decides. All my work is on myself, not on changing the world or forcing the Creator to do something.

Question: So a Kabbalist does not decide anything? Does he have the ability to agree with what is happening to him? And is this the main decision?

Answer: Yes. Try it. Let’s see what kind of hero you will be. It only seems to you that changing the world is easier than changing yourself.

Remark: I understand that to agree is much harder.

My Comment: This is already good. This is a step toward heroism.

Question: What does it mean to exit myself? Does this mean that I should observe my own behavior and thoughts as if from the outside?

Answer: Getting out of myself means exiting your egoism, finding my spiritual self by disengaging from my physical self. We feel the entire physical world within our egoism. The spiritual world is felt through the property of bestowal. Exiting the property of reception and entering the property of bestowal is called “sensing a new world,” a state that exists, but we could not see it before. It reveals itself because you change your point of view.

Question: What is wrong with wanting to “bend” the whole world to suit myself if the world is full of malice and vices?

Answer: I understand that you would like to change our world. But if you do this by breaking it, you will only get some of your smaller broken worlds.

You have to change yourself and then, instead of today’s world, which appears to you in your egoistic properties, you will discover another, better, altruistic world. To change the world is to change your properties, and then you will see it differently.

You need to understand that we exist in our desire. Changing your desires from the lowest state to the state of complete bestowal and love, that is, the world of Infinity, we can move back and forth along the ladder of the spiritual worlds. It all depends on our properties.

Question: To enter into a perfect world, into infinity, does it mean becoming perfect yourself, and from your corrected self, seeing perfection, eternity?

Answer: Yes, to the extent that I change within, I can see changes in the world around me.

Question: How do I come to the point that I myself have to change? After all, I am trying to change others my whole life.

Answer: Indeed, usually a person wants to change everyone else. He wants nothing more than to “bend” the world around him. However, in fact, the world does not bend. It is created such that if you want to bend it, you bend yourself. As a result, you will understand, perhaps not in one but in several lives, that you’re the one who needs to bend.

There is nothing demeaning about it. This is such an exciting game, such a fascinating, conceptual journey: while I am changing, I see the world around me also changing, like in a fairy tale. And it is possible.

Question: However, during the 70 to 80 years of one’s life, a person is somehow changing, which cannot be said about the world. What changes are you talking about?

Answer: The world is also changing a little, but only on that inanimate level at which people change. Why is the world today different from the world 100 years ago? Various technical and technological changes took place, climate conditions became different, some species of fauna and flora became extinct, etc. Everything comes from the fact that by changing, we see the world changing around us.

But these are very small changes at that same, inanimate level. It is not a new world. After all, we remain the same egoists.

Th fact is that when our material desires change, we begin to invent something ostensibly new. However, there is nothing to invent, because if a person begins to radically change his nature, his egoism, to the opposite property of bestowal and love, the property of connection with others, he then sees a completely different world through his new properties.

Rabash, “The Agenda of the Assembly 1”: In love of friends we should behave the same: After examining ourselves and following the known advice of praying, we should think as though our prayer has been answered and rejoice with our friends, as though all the friends are one body. And as the body wishes for all its organs to enjoy, we, too, want all our friends to enjoy themselves now.

Question: Rabash says that a person should behave as if his prayer has been accepted. But what should I do if my prayer has not been formed yet and I have not advanced?

Answer: It does not matter what you have gone through and what you have not. You can always implement the desired state as if you have attained it.

Question: Do I do it for others?

Answer: And for yourself as well. You play it and consequently excite the upper source that changes you.

You have to be certain that the Creator hears your prayer and replies immediately. It does not matter if you understand that you received the answer. You do not know if your prayer was accepted or not. You just have to have full confidence that it works.

Question: Why were we given the sensation of independent existence in this world? It totally confuses us and doesn’t allow us to do something on our own.

Answer: On the contrary, you are given the opportunity to do everything to become like the Creator, to reach His level! It is a tremendous job.

Maybe it seems to you that if you say: “There is none else besides Him,” with that you wash your hands of everything: “You have problems? Contact the celestial administration, but I have nothing to do with it.”

No! You have to change yourself so that you will completely understand, feel, and discover for yourself the upper system and see how it operates absolutely everything through an infinitely thin network. Only by attaining the entire network of forces that govern the feelings, thoughts, and various connections between opposing creatures, will you be able to say that this indeed is the network of connections about which it is said: “there is nothing else but it.”

In the book A Sage’s Fruit, Baal HaSulam writes: “All the thoughts that arise in a person’s mind are actions of the Creator. That one seemingly attracts them from somewhere, or that they are born within him—it is a deception and the source of all deceptions. Any thought, even the most insignificant one, the Creator sends into the mind of a person, and He is the driving force of man, animal, and everything living.”

We need to clearly feel this and act accordingly. We must directly participate in this network of forces, to live within it, to bring it to live. We turn it on.
