Question: Why should one be engaged in correcting this world? Why should one aspire to improve life, happiness, and goodness if according to the wisdom of Kabbalah, this entire world is an illusion and imaginary emptiness?

Answer: This illusion was given to us so that we would get rid of it! We do not correct this world, it does not need correction! Also, there is nothing to correct our existing in this situation in the world.

We must transcend this world, taking ourselves out of it to the next trajectory, to the next level, to the level of the upper world. This world is the most insignificant and darkest; there is nothing to correct in it; it exists only to transcend it.

Question: Is it possible to be happy in an imperfect world?

Answer: Such a thing is possible because it makes no difference whether the world is perfect or not; it is up to you to use it correctly to become a partner of the Creator, to give enjoyment to the Creator.

When you reach this state, you will see that basically there is nothing unfortunate in this world. For our system of perception, this is a paradox, but when we enter the sensation of the upper world, we begin to see that the only thing that exists in the world is the upper Light that fills everything; there never was anything and there have never been any problems or unhappiness in this world.

Question: The secret of happiness is the internal connection of the hearts into one whole, but what is the internal connection? How can you describe it? What should I yearn for?

Answer: Internal connection is possible only through the group. In a friends’ meeting, for example, you should imagine that you are in a corrected spiritual state. For this purpose meetings with friends are held to create this state inside you, to sculpt it, and to remain in it for a whole week until your next gathering.

The whole Kabbalistic method is aimed at recreating the proper structure of man, which means that everyone should connect wisely, emotionally, consciously, consistently, by trial and error, in an attempt to resemble the Creator.

Torah, Deuteronomy 33:01: And this is the blessing with which Moses, the man of God, blessed the children of Israel [just] before his death.

There is no person more exalted throughout history or the spiritual planes than Moses. The blessing of the Creator always flows through him. And the Creator always communicates only through this level.

The Creator cannot address us directly. It is the upper Light that has no particular form. However, when it goes through the spiritual degree called Moses, it acquires a certain form through which it can influence our qualities, our desires. Therefore, everything we receive comes from the quality called “Moses.”

It is written that Moses blessed the children of Israel before his death because that is where his function in relation to the lower levels or parts of the souls that he corrects is terminated. It no longer functions, which is called death.

Torah, Deuteronomy 32:22: For a fire blazed in My wrath, and burned to the lowest depths. It consumed the land and its produce, setting aflame the foundations of mountains.

Everything that a person does based on his egoistic ideal will perish in four kinds of executions. The Book of Zohar describes this in very unpleasant terms.

It is written that a fire “consumed the land and its produce,” which means that eventually we will have nothing left. Now we think that the golden age is ahead of us, robots will work for us, and we will spend every day laying on the beach or partying and having fun. But this will not happen.

On the contrary, people will suffer from deep depression, they will start consuming drugs and pills! They will hate themselves and the entire surrounding world; they will want to die, but will not be able to do so! Life will become worse than death. This indeed is a real hell.

A person suffering from depression would be glad to die. But what can he do if he is unable to kill himself? His whole life is total misery.

Question: What does it mean “Setting aflame the foundations of mountains”?

Answer: “Mountain” is from the word “Hirhurim” (doubts) and means all sorts of internal disturbances. We will see that all of this comes from the Creator and we cannot escape from this, and all because we neglect His path and do not want to rise above our egoism to the realm of bestowal and love. Therefore, we will feel that He is against us in everything. We will not be able to live, and we will not be able to die, and we will suffer every second!

This state will eventually bring people to correction, but by a very long and terrible way called the path of suffering.

There shall be no harlot of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel. [Torah, Deuteronomy, 23:18]

Female and male qualities in a person should be clearly directed to the purpose of creation, to the bestowal and love between all, and in no way to oneself.

Don’t get lost! Don’t turn back all your desires, intentions, forces and qualities for your own sake, but only for the sake of others.

You shall not bring a prostitute’s fee or the price of a dog, to the House of the Lord, your God, for any vow, because both of them are an abomination to the Lord, your God. [Torah, Deuteronomy, 23:19]

You shouldn’t derive any benefits for yourself, even from egoistic actions on the corporeal level. This is a prostitute (an egoistic desire) in you.

If you act egoistically for your own sake, then bear in mind that you won’t be able to build your future Temple (your future state) on this. After all, by this action you are at the moment gratifying your wild, barbarian desires in some way.

This isn’t about the body of a person, but about his soul, because the wisdom of Kabbalah works only with the soul. Therefore, you must feed the body, give it water, wash it, put it to sleep, and give it everything it needs within reasonable limits.

And if you go beyond these limits, you become a prostitute, meaning you move from your spiritual forces to the corporeal ones.

Question: So in principle, all of humanity can be considered prostitutes?

Answer: We have created such idols for ourselves that it can’t get any worse because we think only about satisfying our egoism.

Question: The last of the portion of the Torah is called “Ve Zot aBracha” (And this is the blessing). What does it mean?

Answer: A blessing is the upper Light. It’s not simply a light, but the Light that corrects a person and humanity, creates it into a united form, such that this form exists in similarity and fusion with the Creator. It is similar to the Creator like a vessel and its fulfillment.

The Light that corrects us and makes similar to the Creator is called Torah. All we have to do is to learn how to receive the Torah and to correctly call it upon ourselves so that it can fully form and mold us.

A blessing is the highest state a person can achieve when he completely “clothes” onto the Creator. He is like a vessel that accepts the upper Light within himself.

Torah, Deuteronomy 32:07 – 32:09: Remember the days of old; reflect upon the years of [other] generations. Ask your father, and he will tell you; your elders, and they will inform you.

When the Most High gave nations their lot, when He separated the sons of man, He set up the boundaries of peoples according to the number of the children of Israel.

Because the Lord’s portion is His people Jacob, the lot of His inheritance.

It is written: “Because the Lord’s portion is His people Jacob, the lot of His inheritance.” This is about the middle line that combines the entire huge egoism and the entire huge quality of altruism, the quality of bestowal and love that is received from the Creator.

This is a combination of all of human nature that is revealed more and more, to the very end. A person goes through terrible states when he betrays everyone and everything and is ready to destroy absolutely everyone, including the Creator. This is the left line.

However, at the same time, he demands to be corrected, and this is the right line. He does not want to have these egoistic states in him and he receives the right line, which does not destroy the left line, does not annul it, but is created opposite to the left line.

A person begins to combine the two lines in himself—the right one and the left one—like a plus and a minus. He builds his desire on this. So, upon the quality of the left line (absolute egoism) and upon the quality of the right line (absolute bestowal and love), he builds his soul.

In other words, a person’s desire is between two opposite qualities and absorbs them into itself: both the quality of bestowal and the quality of reception.

The desire wants to receive, otherwise we cannot do anything. It aspires to receive because the Creator requires this. In this respect, the desire, by its nature, is opposite to the Creator and in its correction, it is absolutely similar to Him.

Our qualities that turned into reception for the sake of bestowal are called His people, the correct combination of minus and plus is called Jacob.

Question: Why do we need to always “Remember the days of old; reflect upon the years of [other] generations. Ask your father, and he will tell you; your elders, and they will inform you.”?

Answer: The generation is something that must be raised from all of our past experiences in order to bring them to correction, to create the correct overall balance: the accumulation of the minus, plus, and middle parts.

Questions: So when it is written “Remember the days of old,” it means that you as if pull them to yourself for the present correction. And in our world, isn’t the opposite true: it is better not to remember the past? As soon as we begin to remember the past, we get many additional problems.

Answer: This is the lack of the correct education, the correct vision of nature and everything that is in us.

Everything comes from the Creator. The most important thing is that “There is none else besides Him.” If we act only in this way, then there is no evil in the world and everything is created only for its correction.

Torah, Deuteronomy 32:13 – 32:14: He made them ride upon the high places of the earth, that they would eat the produce of the field. He let them suck honey from a rock, and oil from the mighty part of the crag. The cream of cattle and the milk of sheep, with the fat of lambs and rams of Bashan and he goats, with kidneys of wheat, and it [the congregation of Israel] would drink the blood of grapes [which was] as the finest wine.

Here it is written about how the quality of bestowal and love should be replenished at the expense of Malchut and Bina, that is, the connection of these two properties in a person. The quality of the earth, which nourishes everything, comes from the quality of Malchut. But on the other hand, it happens due to the quality of Bina, which connects with Malchut. This also involves all previous qualities of the inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature that raise a human soul.

The soul accumulates the inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels of nature in itself and in this way it connects them in itself, adding to this the connection with the Creator. Otherwise, these levels would not exist. They exist only because man and humanity are pre-programmed. Therefore, everything feeds on it.

Remark: Only because of this paradise begins: “that they would eat the produce of the field. He let them suck honey…“

Answer: In general, the children of Israel ate manna.

If it were not for the upper Light and the manna that descended with it, they would have had nothing. Of course, one can say: “But they collected something in the desert, they had cows, sheep, lambs. Didn’t they do anything?” No, they acted.

The journey of the children of Israel in the desert is not a constant movement. They stopped and stayed in one place for several years. And then they moved on, as directed by the Creator. In fact, one can get from Egypt to Jerusalem within a week. And this transition lasted forty years?! The reason is that they stayed in every place for years. That is, it is not about allegories, but about the right way in Kabbalah. All transitions are elevations from level to level. And at each new level egoism was added. This means that they traveled some new distance in the desert. By overcoming their egoism, they gave birth, developed, multiplied livestock, etc.

From above they received manna, that is, only the upper force of Bina, which yet had to be used and with its help to extract from the inanimate, vegetative, and animal nature the qualities that would become similar to the Creator.

Question: Is playing at demonstrating love an effective method only in a group of Kabbalists or can it be used in any group that works together, or in a family, or anywhere else?

Answer: I don’t know what is a done in any work groups. In a group of Kabbalists, it is necessary to play at demonstrating love in order for us to draw the surrounding Light. We use the method of induction here because we are actually working with very powerful forces of nature.

When I intentionally force myself to behave lovingly toward friends and they do the same toward me, we draw the upper force of nature to ourselves, and then this force begins to build this kind of attitude and interactions in us.

If we want to be kind to each other, then we must act as if we are kind, even when we understand perfectly well that in reality we are not like that at all. But we also know that as we are doing this, the upper Light is correcting us.

Question: Is that why, for example, when you give a gift to a friend, you have to tell everyone about it and not hide it?

Answer: Of course. Everyone must be told. You are demonstrating a positive example and advertising love to the world.

You must give gifts and do the rest also. That is why when I give something, I must tell everyone about it! And no false modesty is necessary! All those are lies anyway! It doesn’t get you anywhere. Let it be the opposite. Let people talk about what kind of gifts they want to give to each other.

Torah, Deuteronomy, 32:26 – 32:29: I said that I would make an end of them, eradicate their remembrance from mankind. Were it not that the enemy’s wrath was heaped up, lest their adversaries distort; lest they claim, “Our hand was triumphant! The Lord did none of this!” For they are a nation devoid of counsel, and they have no understanding. If they were wise, they would understand this; they would reflect upon their fate.

The task of the Creator is not to destroy humanity, but to bring it to the realization that ascent above our nature is a blessing, necessity, and an absolute freedom from the side of the Creator.

He must bring us to a very interesting, almost paradoxical state, where while being absolutely free and not being acted upon by some terrible states, we voluntarily choose the quality of bestowal and love. However, we do not see this. On the contrary, so far we are moving “toward happiness by the stick.”

But eventually under the influence of this stick, a person will realize his true nature and will say, “Even if I returned to the previous egoistic state, I would in no case want to remain in it! Thank God, I recognized the evil of my nature and now I am saying goodbye to it. Not because I felt bad being in it and I experienced great suffering, but because egoism is an evil in the relationship between me and other people, and between me and the Creator.”

Here is manifested the attainment of amazing height, perfection of the quality of bestowal and love. However, all this happens through great suffering. We see that people who experience such suffering, nevertheless, are themselves drawn to mercy because Light enters into them a little and gives them a taste for it.

It is written, “Were it not that the enemy’s wrath was heaped up, lest their adversaries distort; lest they claim, “Our hand was triumphant! The Lord did none of this!”” A person must see with his own eyes that everything that happened to him could not happen by itself (from the point of view of inanimate nature), but this is a controlled program that works on him and leads him to the realization of his source.
