Question: At what point does the spiritual life of a person begin?

Answer: From the moment he begins to try seeing in everything that “there is none else besides Him,” that only the Creator determines his qualities, feelings, thoughts, and everything he experiences in them. After all, it is not him but the Creator who creates everything.

Question: Is it because of this that he begins to love everything around him?

Answer: In this way, he at least begins to get closer to love.

Question: You say that there is nothing other than the person. Reality is in the person and everything happens within him. He does not see anything in this world except for himself. Everything that happens around me is me, pictures inside of me.

In what form does the dialogue exist between the external worlds, including the upper worlds, and humanity?

Answer: Humanity is an egoistic mass that desires at each moment of time to receive selfish fulfillment.

Through the method of two opposing influences, give and take, the upper Light gradually develops humanity in different sensations and directions in order to give it the greatest possibility of perceiving the Creator. For now, humanity is in such overturns.

Question: Is this called a dialogue with the Creator?

Answer: There is no question of any dialogue here. When you work on a desire, you automatically know its result.

The higher force has no secrets. It is known in advance: If I act this way, I will get this as a result; if I act in another way, I will get a different result. Thus, humanity had to be carried through millions of years of development so that it finally realized: “Why are we being stimulated?”—In order to lead to a certain reaction.

Question: To what extent does a person’s and humanity’s past affect the dialogue between us and the upper worlds?

Answer: It all overlaps. Therefore, we do not need to know the past: not paleontology, nor history, etc. We need to know at each moment of time how we can define the Creator through the group.

Question: Why did Moses kill the Egyptian? What does it mean?

Answer: Moses killed the Egyptian in himself. We discuss what happens in one person. Who are Pharaoh, Moses, and all the positive and negative characters in the Torah, including the Creator? I do not know who they are and what this really is.

I know that this is revealed inside of me—even my special internal property called “the Creator”—because it is not outside at all.

Therefore, it is written that the Torah is studied in one body, inside a person, and there is nothing else. That is why “he killed the Egyptian” means that Moses reached a state in which he conquered his evil inclination, and from that moment he began to resist Pharaoh. Pharaoh thus sent his forces in search of Moses to kill him.

“The Egyptian” is Pharaoh’s private force. Therefore, when Moses killed the Egyptian in himself, that is, this desire ceased to work for the sake of receiving, he corrected it with the intention to bestow, and then Moses became Pharaoh’s enemy. A person then feels how his common egoism opposes his path and doesn’t let him advance. Therefore, he does not know what to do and he has only one solution—to run away. And then Moses escapes to Jethro.

Question: Does my longing for feeling spirituality and the Creator become stronger or weaker with time?

Answer: The yearning for the Creator grows. Until one reaches spirituality, one’s desire for it constantly increases, in confusion and misunderstanding.

Question: Do I accept the growing yearning with joy?

Answer: There are different nuances here that you will no longer notice and you will stop paying attention to them.

Naturally, there are all kinds of circumstances in the group: sad ones, funny ones, annoying ones, and so on. But friends have to understand that if they are in a tense internal state, then they have to go through it all, and that they still have a lot ahead of them.

Question: If all my thoughts and actions are from the Creator, then what is my role? How do I not prevent the Creator from doing his job?

Answer: Unite. Connect with the Creator in all His acts.  A person’s whole life is built on his tuning to constant revelation of the Creator, no matter how it manifests.

By this you do not interfere. On the contrary, you help the Creator reveal Himself in you. You give Him pleasure.

Question: In the corporeal world, we always have all kinds of needs and are trying to fulfill them. In the spiritual world, on the contrary, there are an abundance of pleasures and I only need to develop a desire for them within myself. Is this so?

Answer: You imagine the spiritual world as a store that has an abundance of everything, but you have no appetite for it. As if you are sick and have no desire for anything and there are plenty of pleasures.

Question: Then how can one imagine the abundance of spiritual life?

Answer: There is no such abundance before it is attained. There is an unlimited opportunity to fulfill others. This is not prohibited in any way. However, you must acquire special tools for this, desires.

When you begin to fulfill others, you will also receive from the Creator in order to give contentment to others, otherwise you will have nothing to give them. Therefore, you become an intermediary link between the Creator and others, and the pleasure passes through you.

Question: Why do I fulfill the desires of others my whole life and empathize with them, but I do not feel any Creator?

Answer: It is because you do this for yourself. In this case, you remain an egoist—that is the problem.

Question: Is it possible to feel the upper Light to such an extent that I will begin to be healed in this world?

Answer: It is possible, but no one can promise. It is not easy.

The upper Light corrects absolutely everything at all levels: physical, moral, psychological, etc. But we still cannot purposefully influence this. The time will come when you will gain a little experience and see that Kabbalah can really do everything.

Question: On the other hand, you claim that one cannot ask for himself. Or are there cases when you can ask for yourself?

Answer: If a person is unable to engage in the higher spiritual work because something hinders him, he can ask to rise above these disturbances.

Remark: Over the many years of practicing Kabbalah, we have studied the articles of Baal HaSulam and Rabash dozens of times. The most interesting thing is that remembering almost every line by heart, you understand that as a result, you do not know anything. On one hand, it is amazing, but on the other hand, it is frightening.

My Comment: This happens because our abilities to analyze the text, to include it in ourselves, change. Therefore, each time everything seems completely new, on a new level. This is the property of Kabbalistic texts and of those who read them.

Remark:  Rabash did not finish any literary institute, did not study the rules of writing articles, but expressed himself very clearly, according to the rules of the genre.

My Comment: This is not surprising to me because a person who feels the inner meaning of nature, its laws and their current, writes in accordance with this. All the laws of logic, all the points of the coup already exist in him.

In the same way, it seems to playwrights that they make the rules for writing literary works, but in fact, they also act out their inner desires, perhaps not yet corrected but in some ways already developed.

Gradually, we will understand that real playwriting lies in spirituality. It is precisely the attainment of spiritual properties that will bring out literature and any expressions of human relations to the level of truth.

Rabash, Shlavey Sulam, “Purpose of Society” (1.1): We have gathered here to establish a society for all who wish to follow the path and method of Baal HaSulam, the way by which to climb the degrees of man and not remain as a beast…

Rabash wrote the first article on the work in the group on a cigarette paper when he was sitting with me on a bench in the park. We then bought him a typewriter, and for the whole day the sounds of tapping on keys came from his room. This was his life. He kept thinking of the right way to express his thoughts. At the time of writing articles, he was a completely different person.

We cannot even imagine the depth of his work. Even now I only get the uppermost layer of his writings.

Question: Even an article that we studied 200 times…?

Answer: It does not matter. In Kabbalah, there is no division of information for beginners and advanced Kabbalists, because the depth of the text depends only on the reader who comprehends it. In these articles he laid out almost everything. They are designed for those who want to rise from the animal level of development to the human (Adam) level.

Question: What exactly do I attain in the process of self-attainment: the laws, the program, or the concept of my “self”? What is the “I” of a person?

Answer: The degree of the clothing of the Creator in a person is called his “I.” In our world we correlate our “I” with our egoism. And in the spiritual world, the “I” does not exist. In the spiritual world, “I” is a measure of similarity to the Creator.

Question: What exists from a Kabbalistic point of view: “I” or only “we”?

Answer: The problem is that the whole world, the entire universe is me. Therefore, when I unite with my friends, I attain my true “I.”

Question: Is my “I” a degree of clothing of the Creator in a person or a degree of my realization that the Creator is clothed in me?

Answer: Your “I” is what is talking in you now; this is what you are today. And the real “I” of a person is a desire to unite and love, which becomes equal to the Creator. This must be achieved.

Start striving to unite and reveal the Creator in this unity, and everything will be alright.
