Torah, Deuteronomy 28:07: The Lord will cause your enemies who rise up against you, to be beaten before you; they will come out against you in one direction, but they will flee from you in seven directions.

There is one force that spoils everything, our egoism. However, when we begin to work with it, the upper Light breaks it down into a spectrum of seven paths from red to ultraviolet.

By decomposing into seven parts, as through a prism, egoism reveals before you the entire picture on which you read the qualities of the Creator, interact with Him, and adhere to Him. That is, you discover yourself. The prism is you. Everything passes through you.

Egoism adds one single egoistic desire to you. You connect with the upper Light that returns to the source, which, passing through you, builds a prism out of you. So, it turns out that you already consist of seven Sefirot, seven colors: Hessed, Gevura, Tifferet, Netzach, Hod, Yessod, and Malchut. These seven colors give you a complete picture of the Creator—the source of the Light itself. Thus, you become a person.

Question: How can we break this down into three lines? Does this mean that the left line is one force and the right line covers it?

Answer: Both lines complement each other, as it is written, ”The darkness will shine like the light.” There is no difference between night and day because they are opposite; all the lights are manifested. The lights are revealed in the middle line with the correct combination of the left line and the right line.

Question: They say that a Kabbalist doesn’t think about himself at all. What does not thinking about yourself mean?

Answer: A Kabbalist thinks about himself more than everyone else because he associates himself with the whole world. By relating to himself as an inseparable part of creation, he thinks about all of humanity; he has immense desires, immense intentions, and immense demands.

All of this is expressed very strongly within him, but not with an egoistic inclination as in our world. Therefore, he has more concerns than any other person.

A Kabbalist thinks about how to bring all the souls into one system, into one single form. This is his permanent inner work. But it is not expressed in any form externally. Only other Kabbalists can feel it.

Question: One of the principles for attaining higher power is the principle: “From your deeds we shall know You” (Shir HaYichud). How does one use that?

Answer: “From your deeds we shall know You” means that I need to acquire the deeds of the Creator through what He does to me.

The deeds of the Creator are everything that happens around me and within me. In these deeds, I must discover the Creator as the one who manages everything.

Torah, Deuteronomy 28:11: And the Lord will grant you good surplus in the fruit of your womb, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your soil, on the land which the Lord swore to your forefathers, to give you.

All the egoistic desire that arise within you now is called the land of Israel. It does not arise in ordinary people; they do not reach these huge, extremely egoistic, and antagonistic desires. And you will begin to feel them. This is called the entrance to the land of Israel.

You process these desires; that is, you subjugate them to your intention of bestowal and love, and thus you receive blessing in your country.

It is written, “And the Lord will grant you good surplus in the fruit of your womb.” Surplus means the revelation of the Light of Hochma. In the desert, before the entrance to the land of Israel, the Light of Hassadim was revealed and now the Light of Hochma is revealed, due to which birth and development take place.

The Light of Hassadim just holds you in a steady state of expectation. However, we need to develop it too because the Light of Hochma dresses into it. Therefore, as soon as the Light of Hochma begins approaching, immediately there is a need for the Light of Hassadim. After all, without it the Light of Hochma is like a sharp knife or fire that destroys everything. These are called Dinim, the qualities of judgment.

Question: Does it mean that everything that happens today in the world is a consequence of the deficiency of the Light of Hassadim?

Answer: Yes. Huge, egoistic desire appears. Above it is the Light of Hochma that must enter this desire. However, the space that the Light of Hassadim must fill is empty. We need to attract the Light of Hassadim, and we can only do this if we will relate to each other correctly.

If we reach the Light of Hassadim, then grace will pour out into the entire world.

Question: At a congress, how do people who are aspiring to reach spirituality differ from those who only imagine themselves as such because all they want is just to have a good time?

Answer: There are people who are like this and people who are like that. A person is a very complex, multifaceted creature, and often is one way and then another.

At one moment, he is suddenly overcome with romantic feelings and is almost in tears. And then, everything becomes irrelevant to him and he treats everything with disinterest. And all of this can happen within the same day. That is why we must give everyone the possibility to participate in a congress, and ultimately, the surrounding Light will influences everyone.

Question: How does one form and compose a group prayer correctly and how does one remain in a prayer like this for 24 hours a day?

Answer: At first, the prayer can be artificial because you still don’t feel a special yearning in the heart about concern for the group, for the friends, for connection, for the shared yearning among you, and from that to the Creator.

All of this begins with a fairly artificial internal movement. But gradually, under the influence of the study, the upper Light will operate on you. You begin to feel that your mechanical, false, and artificial actions take on a completely different shade: natural, correct, true, and sincere.

The upper Light that influences you will insert its characteristics into you. And then as a result of this, your prayer will become true; you will feel that you are as one single whole with the rest of the friends.

You must connect the points in the heart to each other, like ten drops of water that are connected together into one big drop. Then you begin to feel within them a higher energy, a higher state, the upper world! Your whole life will be in the upper world.

This is your soul. It is one, for the entire group of ten. A person must understand that individually he cannot move this way. He must connect with others either virtually or physically. Here’s to your success!

Torah, Deuteronomy 28:29: You will grope at midday, as the blind man gropes in the dark, and you will be unsuccessful in your ways. You will be only oppressed and robbed all the days, and no one will save [you].

This is a state of darkness when you do not see anything, as in the parable about the rooster and the bat: For the bat, darkness is light, and for the rooster, darkness is darkness and light is light.

At midday, you walk like a blind man in darkness because you do not reveal light in the light—in the intention of bestowal and love. You see only negative things in this. How can we break through this state by getting closer to others and discover salvation in unity?

We are always in the Light, but we do not understand and do not feel it. For us, it is the other way around and that is why we run away.

Our task is to attain that the Light constantly exists in connection, which should be revealed more and more between us.

Question: There are two forces through which nature or the Creator operates: the force of receiving and the force of bestowal. A lot has been written about the force of receiving, but what is the force of bestowal and how is it expressed?

Answer: The force of bestowal is expressed when instead of feeling my own desire and filling it, I feel the desire external to me, someone else’s desire, and fill it.

Question: If that’s so, will I feel the desires of eight billion people and will want to bestow unto them as if they were all my friends?

Answer: How can you bestow unto them? What have you got to give?

Comment: At least a positive, kind attitude.

Answer: No, you have to connect to the Creator and become a conductor of the upper Light in order to fill their desires.

Question: What does the Creator fill them with?

Answer: With Light. You have to attach their desires to you and want what they want, ask the Creator for a filling for their desires inside you, fill them inside you, and then they will be detached from you.

This is the work a Kabbalist performs. Thus, a person attains a whole eternal system, and by his incorporation in it, he brings the system to the next level of wholeness.

Question: And what do people want? After all, they have thousands of desires.

Answer: It doesn’t matter. The fact that in our world they want billions of things makes no difference. They want the Creator’s Light.

Question: Does all that have to be done only in one’s thoughts or does something physical have to be done for them?

Answer: You don’t have to do anything physical. You should only work on them internally and they will not even feel how you fill them.

Along with working on them, you first and foremost fill yourself, because first you receive and then pass it on to them. When you fill them, you also prepare them for the same independent work that you perform on them.

Question: Will a person who conveys the Light become worthy of it at a certain point?

Answer: It is a person’s fate. It is his state in the general system of the souls. There are souls that connect; there are upper and lower souls; there are those who determine; there are those that complement, etc., and there are simple souls.

But this is meaningless since eventually there will be no difference between us. Everyone will attain the same thing to the same degree. But as long as we have not corrected everything and have not filled each other, there are upper and lower souls and many other types and many differences.

Question: Is it necessary to convert all physical fear to awe of the Creator? How does one do this? Is it enough to say, “There is none else beside Him” (Deuteronomy 4:35), the good and beneficent?

Answer: All of the work must be done in a group, and then everything will work out and succeed!

Question: Is “bestowal for the sake of bestowal” the primary state? What must a person who studies and is a member of a group of ten do to move to the next state?

Answer: Bestowal for the sake of bestowal is love without any intention of gain, without any result for myself. This is the level that is acquired under the influence of the Ohr Makif (Surrounding Light).

Torah, Deuteronomy 28:33: A people unknown to you will eat up the fruit of your soil and [the result of] all your toil. You will be only wronged and crushed all the days.

Instead of correctly using the fruits of your own efforts for bestowal and love between you and the Creator, new and unknown egoistic desires appear.

It is as if they jump out, ambush, and devour all that you wanted to give to others and to the Creator as evidence of your correct intention toward spiritual work.

They absorb “the fruit of your soil and all your toil.” But these egoistic desires are new; therefore, they will grow from this and you will still be able to correct them on the next level.

But avoiding these descents is not permitted: there are no righteous who can walk forward without stumbling. It all depends on how much you stumble.
