Question: If one day goes by without the wisdom of Kabbalah, I feel miserable. Why does Kabbalah have an influence on me like a drug that provides happiness?

Answer: This is because otherwise you would not be connected to a system that can fulfill you.

Question: If the world is perfect, and I am intentionally faulty, then quarrels and confrontations are unavoidable. So how do I balance the good with the bad within me like “plus” and “minus”?

Answer: In any case you should not condemn the good or the bad or elevate this or that, rather only try to achieve their mutual connection, adhesion, and completion. Perfection is found between us, in the middle line.

Question: In our world, are people who are altruistic egoists happier than people who are just egoists?

Answer: Egoistic altruists are still less limited. But to be an altruist in our world, one must be born like this or enter a society like that where they “brainwash” you, and then you will be able to become an altruist and enjoy it. But this is already a particular kind of persuasion, and not a person’s inner inspiration.

Question: What does it mean to acquire the characteristic of bestowal? Explain it regarding feelings as much as possible.

Answer: Ask a mother who is concerned about her baby how she is happy to give him something, to do something for him. See how she takes care of him, follows him, and constantly wants to touch him, to improve something. This is the beastly characteristic of bestowal that shows us that it is possible on the physical level. It is partial and temporary, but it is possible.

Question: What are your wishes for students?

Answer: You have to rush to and resolve everything in the middle line: issues at home, topics in the group, and even in the kitchen, at work, in your attitude to life, and most importantly—the relations between us. Do everything in the middle line—there is no bad and there is no good—there is only everything for the benefit of spiritual progress.

Question: What principles will determine the success of realizing my point in the heart?

Answer: There is only one principle: through the group to the Creator. You can use all other Kabbalistic principles only to the extent that you will climb the spiritual steps. Then you will see how they can apply to you.

Question: According to the law the “general and particular are equal,” are all the Kabbalistic principles universal for all the levels of the worlds?

Answer: Yes, because the difference between the levels is only according to the intensity of and connection between the forces of bestowal and reception.

Question: What is work according to the wisdom of Kabbalah? Who is the employer, who is the employee, and what is the essence of the work?

Answer: Work in Kabbalah is the work on my egoism, on its correction. The Creator, the upper Light, is what corrects egoism. A person is called “a worker” because he asks for this correction from the Creator. Only according to a request, a prayer, raising MAN, does the Light, which corrects an egoistic intention to an altruistic intention, descend from above.

Question: What is the correct relationship with the environment?

Answer: By “environment,” we mean the group through which we attain connection with the Creator. The correct relationship with the environment is the same relationship that must exist between the person and the Creator.

Question: What does manipulation of the ego mean?

Answer: Manipulation of the ego does not mean manipulating the ego itself, but the intention above it. In other words, I use the ego only to the degree that I have an intention to use it for the sake of bestowal, for the creation of a connection.

Question: Is a person responsible for his thoughts?

Answer: If before himself and the Creator, then yes. If before the rest of humanity, then no, because until thoughts turn into actions, we do not have problems with other people. But in principle, our thoughts are our actions.

Questions: And what if a person is horrified by his thoughts?

Answer: That is not important; they are his thoughts and he must correct them.

Question: What is more important: the Light of pleasure or the desire? Does the Light form the desire or is it possible to reverse the process where the desire determines the quality and the quantity of the Light?

Answer: Everything is formed only by the Light—it is the first and it is the last. And we have to incite it.

If we do so correctly, then the Light comes down upon us and fulfills its function, and if we do it incorrectly, then we are influenced by the compelling forces of nature acting on us that still correct us under the Light’s influence, but in an unpleasant way.

The Light is the Creator’s desire. Surrounding Light is all around us, and it gradually prepares us for its reception.

Question: Can a Kabbalist change reality?

Answer: A person can change the reality he is in because it completely depends on his own qualities. Today, we all exist in the same qualities, within a specific framework, and that’s why, to us, there is a shared perception of the world, similar concerns, experiences, etc.

A Kabbalist who starts understanding creation sees the world entirely differently, although his animal perception through the five material sensory organs remains the same as everyone else’s.

It is as if two devices appear, and he sees differently through each, as if looking through red and blue glasses.

Question: Does it mean that there is a double reality for such a person?

Answer: No, this is not a split personality, like in our world when a person doesn’t know who or what he is. There is no such thing Kabbalah.

By perceiving two opposing qualities in oneself, a person rises above them, in the middle line, and experiences reality with respect to the spiritual level on which he exists. Thanks to this duality, this stereo perception, he begins to experience everything not from his point of view, but from the point of view of the Creator.

Question: Should a student be in full agreement with the group? Or is there a place for his inner struggle?

Answer: Even if a student disagrees with the group, he needs to understand that his disagreement must pass through the Creator.

Why should he fight the group? He must struggle with the Creator, the disturbances that come from Him!

Everything comes from the Creator! I have to settle all this with Him. Why does He give me such obstacles? For me to find contact with Him. I need to settle it with Him, not with the group!

The Creator awakens various negative qualities in a person, which he takes in the left line, and good qualities—in the right line. Therefore, he relates to the group realizing that both lines in him are the Creator in the opposite and in the direct form. And he should bring them to the group, lock them on it, to give the group their correct attitude.

We also do the same: There are two lines, and the third is formed when you already are in contact with the group and with the Creator inside it.

People must constantly control themselves in order not to forget that all their thoughts and feelings come from the Creator who gives them the original parameters, and demands from everyone that with these thoughts and feelings we correctly treat the ten. Then we will reveal the Creator in it.

Question: Do spirits, poltergeists, angels, and demons exist?

Answer: There are no witches, ghouls, devils, demons, or other evil spirits.

These are all qualities of a person. In Kabbalah, there are many names of both pure (altruistic) and impure (egoistic) forces. However, they are all inside a person. It does not mean that we need to cast out demons. We must correct our egoistic qualities.

Do not imagine them in the form of an image. Do you want to change something? Then, just change yourself, your egoism. Let’s say that yesterday your egoism was -20 and today it is ^–10. This means that you have cast some “demon” out of yourself.

Question: What do Kabbalists mean by light and darkness?

Answer: Light is the quality of bestowal and love. Darkness is the quality of reception, up to hatred.

In our world, we do not understand either of them because we do not have the real quality of bestowal and love, and we act only out of egoism. Yet, it is impossible to understand one without the other.

We have absolutely no contact with the upper world, nothing but a spiritual spark. Therefore, everything depends on our contribution to the development of integral relations in the group. Through such relations, we can attract the upper Light, and it will create the system of interrelationships in us where we will exist in both good (light) and bad (dark) states.

Question: When will we begin to understand what light is?

Answer: It will happen when we begin to realize that we are in darkness.

Question: It is written that the Creator created us as opposite to Him. Is it not so?

Answer: It is about the real egoism that we still need to reach. We, however, are at inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels. Now, we must rise to the fourth, human level. It is this level that is opposite to the Creator. We have yet to reach this level. We reach it in the spiritual world as the left line.

Question: How can you convince a person who categorically disagrees with you? Why don’t we feel the thoughts and feelings of other people through written messages? What is the algorithm of actions, thoughts, and desires?

Answer: If someone sends me something, he must very clearly imagine how I will consider his message in the way that is necessary for my egoistic existence.

Question: Does this mean that I always need to imagine the other and by imagining him, his way of thinking, to choose the words?

Answer: Yes. As far as by these words I am awakening the desire in him to adapt the message for his own benefit. That is, when I am sending the message, I need to imagine the interlocuter, his benefit, and adapt myself to him.

Question: How can you resolve a situation of conflict, when one agrees and the other does not? How do you resolve conflicts as a Kabbalist?

Answer: I do not resolve them. I embrace conflicts because eventually they advance me to the goal. I am grateful to all my opponents because thanks to them, I advance to the goal faster.

I do not need to satisfy or cajole them. No way! On the contrary, when they “poke” me that way, although it affects me very little, I am extremely grateful to them because then I begin to think: why, what for, how should I react correctly, why this was sent to me?

Everything a person experiences was sent to him by the Creator. All the puppets, dolls, that exist around me are just conductors of His message to me. Therefore, I appreciate them very much: for any message—good or bad. Moreover, I am happier with the bad since they leave a deeper impression in me, and in that way, I correct myself faster, more vigorously. There is nothing else in a person’s life and in the world but to connect everything that happens to him with the Creator. The fact that it seems to him that whatever happens comes from other people, from natural phenomena, or from anything else, is just a cover in which the Creator dresses until a person is ready for direct connection with Him.

Therefore, I look at life very positively. For me, a bad person can be more desirable than a good one. Any conflict is beneficial.

We always need to turn to the Creator who is behind both a person and the conflict and understand that whatever you do, feel, or decide is also the Creator, because He stands behind you too.

Question: How can we come to understand our purpose in life when most of our lives are lived without this understanding?

Answer: It doesn’t matter. Everyone lives this way until something inside “skips a beat” and a point of connection with the Creator appears within the person. From this point, the person begins to ask: “What for? Why?” Nothing in life is experienced needlessly—you have to go through all of it. Everything happens under the direction of the upper Light.

You begin your journey toward the Creator from exactly the moment you were awakened. So continue forward regardless of your age or any other circumstances. You always have the opportunity to think about this work, to read something somewhere, to listen to something.

I assure you, if you fill your free time with ways to remain in contact with us (and through us, with the Creator), everything will work out for you. This I promise you.
