Question: The intention of a mother for her children is always positive. Why is this attitude considered to be “for my own sake” and harmful to others?

Answer: We do not consider the intention of a mother to be either this or that; rather, it is simply a beastly intention. A mother does not work on herself to acquire this intention; it is given to her by nature.

Question: Can we improve our actions through intentions?

Answer: Certainly. Even when a person is brought before a court because of a misdemeanor, we clarify what his intentions were to both the prosecution and the defense. This can change the meaning of the action to a completely opposite action.

Question: What is a “reward” in the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: It is advancement toward the Creator, that is, a more and more corrected intention.

Question: Why should I be equal to the Creator? And what will happen after I become equal to Him?

Answer: “After” does not exist because entering the spiritual world immediately elevates a person above the framework of time. In the spiritual world there is no time, just as there is no regular physical movement. So, we cannot talk about the continuation of our questions, all of which are asked in the framework of time, movement, and space. In spirituality, limitations like these do not exist.

Question: What is more correct: to have an intention to unite or to carry out concrete actions for unification?

Answer: Concrete actions for unification are much more useful for our advancement. And after that, we will see how these actions transform from physical actions to more spiritual actions.

Question: How does the connection between the higher root and the force controlling the lower object work?

Answer: The highest root controls all material branches in our world, and branches have to do everything in their power to rise to the highest root and exist in it.

A branch is an opportunity to comprehend the higher root. In order to come closer to it, one has to connect with his friends since the properties are integral in the highest root and our properties are individual. If one connects with the ten, he will reach his root.

Question: So, one cannot understand the cause of all the things that happen to him?

Answer: It is possible only in a group. When one connects to the friends in the circle, he will understand the reason for everything, the higher root.

Question: Even if something happened to me individually?

Answer: Individual is a ten, not less.

Question: Are the main properties of the higher root reflected in the earthly branch in a direct or in a reverse manner?

Answer: They are reflected in our world to the extent that one can correctly perceive it. And the rest is hidden.

Question: What is hatred, from the point of view of Kabbalah?

Answer: Hatred is felt when I try to connect with another person, begin to perceive his negative characteristics as mine, and hate them within myself.

Question: Why is the ability to feel others called an understandable and logical feeling? What is the connection to the mind? Or does it require higher intelligence to begin to feel the souls of others like my own?

Answer: In our world, there is no problem with feeling others like yourself. But to feel others correctly, without feeling resentment because of your ego, you must exit your ego, rise above it. This is already a complete system of new perception.

Question: What is pleasure: an action or a phenomenon? What is the essence of pleasure?

Answer: The essence of pleasure is the fulfillment of desires through the upper Light, with the help of unique activities that a person performs. The feeling of fulfillment of the desire by the upper Light is called pleasure.

Question: Shamans change themselves to move their consciousness between worlds, to achieve eternity and a full connection with their ancestors. How best can one explain the wisdom of Kabbalah to a shaman?

Answer: I cannot imagine how. I once met shamans, but we did not understand each other.

Question: What is the plan for building the world and my life? Where can one learn about it?

Answer: The entire wisdom of Kabbalah is dealing with this. It speaks about how the world is organized and how you can change it through your actions. It is possible to become familiar with the wisdom of Kabbalah through our lessons.

Question: What is spiritual intelligence? In what way does it differ from spiritual matter?

Answer: Spiritual matter is a desire for pleasure. And spiritual intelligence is the movement of this material from one state to another. The intellect is not felt if it does not move, it reveals itself only through movement.

Question: Is the level of spiritual development of every person predetermined?

Answer: The level of spiritual development is predetermined, but we don’t know what it is. I will say only one thing: If you do everything absolutely correctly, with the maximum opportunities for advancement that are given to you, you will do everything that you need to do.

Question: It seems to me that I now have an increased ability to contemplate everything. I happily accept ascents and descents, I analyze and work with them. I feel that everything is coming from the Creator. Am I doing things correctly?

Answer: Yes. Be in this all the time.

Question: In the wisdom of Kabbalah we learn and achieve through intellect and emotion simultaneously. What is higher: memory or intuition?

Answer: It is neither memory nor intuition, but feelings. Intuition is also a type of memory, of brain activity. And we talk about feelings—that which happens in the desire.

Question: What is the difference between the spiritual work being the goal and the work through which we achieve the goal?

Answer: There is the work of preparation and there is the spiritual work itself. The preparation work is when I still cannot perform the correct actions, that is, in conjunction with the group and with the Creator; while I am still learning, I listen to all sorts of wisdom about the science of Kabbalah.

This preparation is the same as in life: I study in school for at least 15 years until I start working and getting paid, to see the fruits of my labor. This is the difference.

In spiritual work, preparation takes at least 10 to 15 years and maybe more. We see that people have been engaged with us for at least 10 years, and I would say that this is not enough. According to my calculation, it takes about 20 years to really move from preparation to work.

The difference is that then a person feels that he must depend on the Creator; one is constantly working on “There is none else besides Him” in everything that happens internally and externally and apart from one point of unity, there is nothing that is not the Creator, and this point is given to him so that he could connect it with Him.

Question: How do Kabbalists describe the concept of connection and unity?

Answer: Connection and unity are mutual inclusion of one another in thoughts and feelings. Whatever one feels, the other feels also, whatever one thinks about, the other thinks about too. One can argue that thoughts and feelings can be mutually exclusive, but the fact is that when we want to unite, from being mutually exclusive, we become complementary. This produces an amazing effect!

Moreover, this is not just mutual completion. When we add up the “bricks,” we get an exponential return. We have n-dimensional space, but it has its limits.

Since each of us consists of 620 parts, those 620 parts in me and the 620 parts in you produce multiple mutual additions. They turn into another sphere, a composite field of perception, like a honeycomb. Although it is not yet integral, it is already moving toward it.

When we gather all our individual thoughts and feelings in the ten, they get combined such that they form a sphere. All our unique individual aspirations, narrow passages and tunnels, do not disappear; they turn into an integral system because of the inclusion of ten individuals into each other.

In the ten, we are like the upper world, which creates a totally different configuration out of us, similar to itself, and therefore, it becomes a complete integral sphere. If there were no similarity to the upper world and if it did not shape us out of many parts into a common integral system, we could not have achieved this on our own. Therefore, a ten is a special form of unity.

Question: How can those who feel justified hatred toward each other and who start by being mutually exclusive become complementary toward one another? This miracle of Kabbalah cannot be understood on this level of human consciousness.

Answer: This is truly a miracle. But a special kind of miracle and a great joy when people unite with each other. This is accompanied by experiencing a great surge, a release of energy, a flow of information and feelings.

Rabash, “Love of Friends” Article No 3: A man “wandering in the field” refers to a place from which the crop of the field to sustain the world should spring. And the works of the field are plowing, sowing, and reaping. It is said about that: “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy,” and this is called “a field which the Lord has blessed.”

The field symbolizes a person’s egoism, which must be properly plowed, planted with the right seeds, and watered with tears.

Then, it is necessary to beat out the grains from the sprouted wheat ears, disperse the husks in the wind, and perform many other actions that imply spiritual work to correct the ego. It is the prototype of all our corporeal works in the field.

The grains are ground by millstones, which are activated by animals walking around in a circle, blindfolded, so that they will not see that the work they do is useless for them. They need grain, not flour, because bread is baked from flour and that is food for the human.

Therefore, a person must plow, grind, and cleanse himself with the work in the group, closing his eyes to his inner animal qualities so that they would work for the benefit of the harvest.

As a result of this work, all qualities will be concentrated in a person, will manifest themselves, and he will achieve complete correction.

We need not do anything else. By uniting with your friends in the group, you will “find” them and fix the connection between you. These are all your inner selfish qualities. But in order to connect them together, you must acquire the Creator’s qualities. That will be your main property, Joseph, with which you will come to the end of correction.

To give “sustenance to the whole world” implies the end of correction, and the “field which the Lord has blessed” is the corrected field.

Question: When does a person hear the invitation from the Creator: “Come to Pharaoh”?

Answer: A person hears such an invitation when he begins to be a partner with the Creator, thinks about Him well, understands that all evil is revealed only for him so that he can correct it and build himself.

Then a person simultaneously needs the Creator and becomes His partner, and they both do the same job because in any state a person is already ready to reveal the Creator in all that happens to him—within himself and in the world around him.

When something happens to him, he realizes that the Creator does it and then immediately turns to Him, prays, cries, laughs, screams, it doesn’t matter how. He only wants to reveal this problem with the Creator and resolve it.

It turns out that each time the Creator reveals a state to a person, He invites him to be a partner. Also, if a person responds correctly to this invitation, he is in constant contact with the Creator, wants to recognize Him beforehand in all that is happening, and only solve these problems with Him, problems that the Creator created for him.

He does not do anything by himself, but uses these problems to ask the Creator to solve them.

It is complicated and necessary to know how to do it according to the principle “permission has been given to the doctor to heal.” We must work with the tools of this world and with the Creator’s means. The right approach matters most. I try to find the Creator in everything revealed to me and understand that He does everything, always posing problems before me.

Moreover, after recognizing and clarifying that the problem comes from the Creator, I ask Him to deal with it. The more I adhere to the Creator, the more I feel that He cares about it.

However, at the same time, I must solve this problem on the material level. It becomes like a doctor visit. In many cases, we go to the doctor, pay money, get medicine and put it in the cupboard without using it. After all, we have already received a cure from the Creator.

Question: Money rules the corporeal world. Ambitious people own more and exploit others. What is the spiritual root of this phenomenon? Also, why do people think that a spiritual person has to be poor? I do not see any spirituality among poor people. On the contrary, I see more envy, lack of culture, poor education, and so forth.

Answer: According to Kabbalah, being poor has a totally different meaning. A spiritual person feels that he is poor because he lacks the attainment of the Creator and the upper world. He constantly aspires to this.

The notion of “poverty” itself does not come from a lack of money, but rather from religions that call people who constantly think about spirituality deprived and poor.

There is no doubt that wealth above the ordinary needs also enslaves a person. Such people are unable to study Kabbalah since they are too busy taking care of their wealth.

Question: What is the spiritual root of money?

Answer: The root of money is the screen. “Money (Kesef)” comes from the word “Kisuf” and it means cover.

Money is a force that covers our egoism and lets one act above his egoistic desire. If I act correctly, I can do a lot of beneficial things in our world with the help of money. However, usually a person succumbs to the power of money and sells out to it.

Question: In the Talmud (from the third century CE) it is said that, “All who condemn disqualify themselves with their own flaw” (Kiddushin 70a). It follows that all of the shortcomings that I see in the world are within me. What am I supposed to do with that?

Answer: Begin to correct yourself in the manner advised by the wisdom of Kabbalah. When you reach a state of completion and perfection, you will discover that the world is absolutely like that.

Question: Can knowledge about spirituality cause damage?

Answer: Kabbalistic knowledge cannot be harmful because the person receives it according to the thickness of the screen that he builds within himself, and the screen is anti-egoistic. You will be unable to do anything to harm others.

Question: How does the Creator, who only bestows, receive our pleasure?

Answer: He receives pleasure not from us fulfilling His need, like in our world when we fulfill someone we receive pleasure from it, but from the fact that we are contented by bringing Him contentment.

Question: If everyone around me is a reflection of what is within me, then what is to be found within us? Who really exists: is it you or I?

Answer: All of you exist within me, just as everyone else exists within each one of you. But what do I want? I want to be in a closer connection with the Creator by way of the communication between us.

Question: If the Creator is revealed to a person in a good state, is this false?

Answer: No. Most important is to not distance yourself from contact with the Creator, not to lose the connection with Him, no matter what situation you are in.

Question: What is the transition period or spiritual distance from Adam to the completion of correction?

Answer: This is the process of the development of matter that is in contact with ego. It is necessary to go through a period of the recognition of evil and its correction until there is a complete resemblance to the Creator and adhesion with Him. This cycle is called the “6,000 years of the existence of the world.”

Question: If a person has achieved a personal spiritual correction, will he continue to work in his profession?

Answer: Only if he will bring benefit to people in this way. In principle, he can no longer work in a place where people are harmed.

Despite the fact that spiritual pleasure is infinitely greater than material pleasure, it is revealed to a person in such a measure and form that it does not attract him. Therefore, he continues to move up the ladder of his correction with great effort.

It is said that the embryo, the very first spiritual state, sees the entire world from one end to the other, including the force it is filled with, and how it is controlled. He faces the universe, which is opened to him and it is all his!

Then, the question arises: Afterward, does a person have the strength to extract himself from the petty, nasty egoism of our world to take a step further into abundance, perfection, and harmony? The answer is yes.

Everything disappears without a trace, enabling a person to conquer the upper world anew. It also disappears to such an extent that it leaves no trace other than an informational record that he cannot use in any way. This turns into a negative stage, into a descent that he must exit. That is how spiritual development is constructed: night – day, night – day.

Question: What does a person acquire in these swings? It seems that he is simply turned off or on and you can do anything you want with him.

Answer: Of course. Don’t we see it in our lives?

Question: Where is the person here? It is unclear.

Answer: There is no person. He is not even an embryo; he just begins to enter the higher Partzuf, moving like a sperm, reaching his place within the uterus. It is quite complicated. We know from our life that conceiving a human being is complicated.

Question: What does a person who is being moved through these stages add?

Answer: An ever greater and greater annulment of oneself to the higher force.

Question: So, a speck of memory from the perfect state still remains?

Answer: No. It does not help, it does not add energy or a leap forward. The ascent takes place only due to an accumulation of efforts in the group, the full measure of which is called Seah.

To become an embryo means to join the group for the first time, which for a person is like his mother’s womb.
