Torah, Deuteronomy 31:28 – 31:30: Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, and I will speak these words into their ears, and I will call upon the heaven and the earth as witnesses against them.

For I know that after my death, you will surely become corrupted, and deviate from the way which I had commanded you. Consequently, the evil will befall you at the end of days, because you did evil in the eyes of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger through the work of your hands.

Then, Moses spoke into the ears of the entire assembly of Israel the words of the following song, until their completion.
Moses foresaw everything because it could not be otherwise. He is not a person, but a detailed plan for the correction of the soul.

Comment: It is written: “You will surely become corrupted, and deviate from the way which I had commanded you.” All this is heard by the people, that is, our desires, but they do not want to follow Moses’ instructions. And at the same time there is a feeling that I will not be corrupted…

Answer: The mind seems to understand, but the desires do not want to obey. This is the difference between the mind and the heart. You understand and speak from the mind, but from the heart you act directly the opposite.

In other words, you are still strong in the mind, you still have the strength to say “no,” but your petty heart is already plotting something.

Question: Therefore, in the next chapter “Asinu” (Hear), there are many warnings: “Look what will happen to you, I know this …” How does it help a person?

Answer: The fact is that the spiritual record inside of us will not disappear: millions of states, thousands of years pass, and still this record remains inside us, inside all the humanity, and especially inside the people of Israel. Therefore, we will have to realize it.

We are approaching the state when people already understand that it is probably necessary to look for something because the world is completely losing its orientation.

Question: Is it normal for a person to study Kabbalah out of fear?

Answer: A person does everything from fear. People build muscles, earn money, organize mafia, fortify an army, etc., all out of fear.

Comment: For example, religious people fear that, G-d forbid, they might violate a commandment.

My Comment: Of course! All religions hang on the fear of punishment, whether in this world or the next.

Question: And what would the difference be in Kabbalah?

Answer: In the fact that you want to attain all of this. Attainment comes at the expense of getting rid of one’s egoism.

Therefore, you start developing fear not for yourself, but for the ability to bestow to others, to fulfill them, to bring them to a state of actualization. That state is no longer called fear, but awe.

Question: That must be even worse, to fear for others?

Answer: Of course, it is worse. As you start acquiring seven billion of “your children” in the world. Before, you feared for yourself, and now, for an additional seven billion. That is the state of the Creator.

Question: So what are we moving toward?

Answer: To the fact that we will enjoy the perfection of this system.

Torah, Deuteronomy 32:10: He found them in a desert land, and in a desolate, howling wasteland. He encompassed them and bestowed understanding upon them; He protected them as the pupil of His eye.

In this way we discover that we were constantly progressing, although we did not feel it.

When a person possessing the property of Malchut wants to find some kind of support in the property of Bina and it is completely opposite to Malchut, then it really is a desert in which only snakes and scorpions creep. A person does not understand, does not know what to do, and is totally confused.

The desert embodies such inner states when everything burns you, when you have nothing. It is from such intricate states that you can turn to the Creator, otherwise, egoism won’t allow you.

Question: Does a Kabbalist feel free? Free from what and for what?

Answer: A Kabbalist is torn inside into two parts. He feels the part in which he is in equivalence of form with the Creator, meaning that he feels that he is above the corporeal world.

He adapts himself to the Creator, identifies with Him, and feels himself elevated above all that exists. Moreover, submitting to the Creator happens above the annulment of one’s egoism, and therefore is felt as freedom. For there is nothing above the Creator, so to be a slave to the Creator is not an illusion. It is a feeling of freedom because the Creator is the highest level of existence.

And with the other part of a Kabbalist, before he achieves complete adhesion with the Creator in all his egoistic desires, corrected to love and bestowal, it does not feel like freedom. Quite the opposite, it feels even worse than a person in this world because he remains in the illusion, in the feeling that nothing is pressuring him.

However, the Kabbalist knows that he is under the power of his egoism, and therefore, his feeling of bondage is very troublesome, it weighs heavily on him. This, however, is exactly what pushes him forward.

Question: Is it enough to have an intention for spiritual relationships or do we need actions as well?

Answer: Actions are also required for spiritual relationships. After all, if there are no actions, it means that there are no relationships. If I relate to someone with love, then I want to show him that I love him through my actions.

Question: What does it mean to honor your father and mother in spirituality?

Answer: To honor the father and mother means to adhere to the upper degree with its male and female parts called father and mother. To honor means to receive their impact on ourselves in a way that we will be similar to them.

The book Talmud Eser Sefirot gives a detailed explanation of all sorts of qualities of how the Light and the screen (Masach) work, how the restriction happens, and so on.

Like, for example, Einstein worked with the light, so a person who attains spirituality will see how to work with the upper Light that the higher degree (father and mother) emanates, how to perceive it, and be similar to this degree.

Question: Should the Creator be present in all my relationships? How can I build my relationships to other people who do not have a point in the heart through the Creator?

Answer: A person must build relationships only with those friends with whom he is in the ten and with no one else. Nothing else is required.

There are billions of people in the world. I do not need to build any relationships with them. Only with my ten, this unique love, and it is what remains. The rest will come into it. I will begin seeing how the world shrinks and becomes included into it.

Question: Does a ten mean ten people, ten biological bodies?

Answer: Yes, for now they are ten biological bodies for me, but later I will stop seeing them this way. We will feel an interaction of desires between us, more egoistic ones, less egoistic ones, desires at certain levels, with certain intentions and so on. Bodies will begin disappearing from our sensations and from our sight.

The quantity will turn from a number of people into desires, and from desires into Sefirot. There will be ten Sefirot, one Partzuf.

Torah, Deuteronomy 31:17 – 31:18: And My fury will rage against them on that day, and I will abandon them and hide My face from them, and they will be consumed, and many evils and troubles will befall them, and they will say on that day, “Is it not because our God is no longer among us, that these evils have befallen us?”

And I will hide My face on that day, because of all the evil they have committed, when they turned to other deities.

However, a person begins to understand that desires opposite to the Creator are revealed within him. It becomes clear to him from where and why everything comes. He feels that the Creator is hiding from him. This is already a premonition of the future revelation.

Question: Is this called good from the Creator’s side?

Answer: Of course. If I realize that the Creator is in concealment now because of my incorrect egoistic desires in which I feel this concealment, then I can ask for them to be corrected. Thus, my suffering will no longer be egoistic because I want to reveal the Creator in order to acquire the desire to bestow.

Then it is possible to demand, plead, and raise MAN—a prayer. And the Creator corrects the person’s desire and is revealed in the corrected desire.

Comment: The Creator says: “And they will be consumed, and many evils and troubles will befall them.” Yet, you are saying that it is the highest goodness. There are a lot of contradictions.

Answer: We are talking about those degrees where a person no longer feels any problems. He is ready for anything, only to continue revealing the Creator further. It is just a repose for him.

Torah, Deuteronomy 31:06: Be strong and courageous! Neither fear, nor be dismayed of them, for the Lord, your God He is the One Who goes with you. He will neither fail you, nor forsake you.

Moses worried about the people as for his children. After all, he himself could not enter the land of Israel because he reached his highest stage and must wait for the next generation.

He seems to leap in our time and wait for today’s humanity to see the Light, to begin to pull itself up, educate itself, complete the same forty-year-journey through the desert (in the spiritual sense of the word), and be ready to enter the land of Israel, that is, the quality of absolute adhesion with the Creator.

And then all the great souls led by Moses will be able to unite with those who gather together from all over the earth, and together they will gain spiritual elevation.

Question: The stages described in the Torah span from Adam to the entrance to the land of Israel. Is all of humanity moving along these tracks?

Answer: Humanity must necessarily pass through the same states.

Question: That is, every person within himself should, as they say, write the Torah? Is this what it means to pass through all these states? And Moses is waiting until we reach him, that is, he is waiting until all the other desires get to him?

Answer: Not only does Moses await them, but also all the forefathers: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob with his wives, Adam HaRishon and Eve. All of them are there.

Question: You say that the Creator is revealed in the ten. Then why does a person need this huge world? The ten would be enough.

Answer: This huge world is a reflection of the desire created by the Creator, which consists of the inanimate, vegetative, animate, and speaking levels. The speaking level is the highest. However, there is an even higher level in it—one that has a point in the heart—it corrects everything and all other levels join it.

Therefore, the desire is so great that eventually one feels all the qualities of the Creator: what is called the four phases of direct Light, His quality of bestowal, and the full power of bestowal.

Question: Does it mean that a person begins his spiritual development when there are nine other people around him, that is, nine biological bodies?

Answer: It is only in this laboratory in uniting with nine other people like him. No more than nine. There can be a little less, but it is preferable to have a ten.

And then the entire world becomes one ten. A lot of tens begin to join them and then they merge with each other, like drops of water.
