Question: How can a person not only listen to the teacher, but also eventually hear what the teacher says?

Answer: Hearing what the teacher says is a problem. To do this, you must be in a certain connection with the teacher or with the Creator.

Hearing is the level of Bina, when a person can be absolutely neutral no matter what he hears about the teacher or the Creator. It is a level on which one only wants to hear and then fulfill as much as possible, but not necessarily since it depends on what the level of Bina is.

The level of Hochma, on the other hand, is the level of implementation.

Question: We learn that we must advance through studying n a physical or virtual group. What can I do if I have no desire to engage with a group?

Answer: I cannot imagine how it is possible otherwise. Do you want to wait for the blows of fate until you become wiser?

I can say only one thing: no one wants to come to a group to be corrected. A person simply must decide for themselves the extent to which it is necessary. Close your eyes, bow your head, and begin to dissolve within the group.

Participate in all of the common activities and I assure you that an immense, positive, spiritual force will begin to influence you. After a short time you will feel that participation in a group specifically creates this within you. The positive force will balance the negative force, and then you will be able to exist in the feeling of the upper world.

Torah, Deuteronomy 15:03: From the foreigner you may exact; but what is yours with your brother, your hand shall release.

Earlier in the Torah, it is written “Do not oppress the stranger who came to you” or “you were a stranger in the land of Egypt,” and so on.

It is impossible to explain these conditions on the material level because they vary from place to place, and according to the description given in the Torah, from degree to degree. Therefore, we can’t look at it purely pragmatically, in the material way because everything depends on the spiritual degree.

Question: What does it mean on the particular spiritual degree: “From the foreigner you may exact; but what is yours with your brother, your hand shall release”?

Answer: After entering the land of Israel, all are brothers. There shouldn’t be foreigners in the land of Israel because it is a spiritual state when egoism is corrected to a certain extent and absolutely correct interaction, connection, and revelation of the Creator begins between them. Therefore, those who are not yet ready for this are called foreigners.

A “foreigner” in the land of Israel is Klipa (an impure state). As soon as the people of Israel enter this land,1 they immediately start to purify it though their presence and wars with those who lived there, that is, with the uncorrected desires. Therefore, foreigners or the seven nations living in the land of Israel symbolize egoistic desires of the Jews who enter this level.

Question: What was the role of the seven nations who lived there until the people of Israel entered this land?

Answer: They had no role. Internally they are in each person as the impure, uncorrected, egoistic forces that are revealed only when a person fights for the right to be on this spiritual level.

And if he doesn’t fight, he won’t feel them. Without getting closer to the level of the land of Israel, a person can’t discover the seven nations, meaning seven of his egoistic qualities.

Comment: It is interesting that when we tell an ordinary person on the street that human nature is egoistic, he replies, “I am not an egoist, I am a giver.”

My Response: Of course, because he doesn’t reveal this within himself.

Question: Why is the teacher’s true greatness always concealed from us?

Answer: Because you cannot see anything.

Take me, for example, your teacher, you can look at me as much as like, but you will not see any greatness in me.

You will only see an old man who very much wants people to begin studying the wisdom of Kabbalah, not from his books but according to the original sources of Baal HaSulam and Rabash. You can take The Book of Zohar and the writings of the ARI, go ahead, but they are much more difficult and distant from us.

I am simply an expert, up to a certain level, of the method of getting closer to the Creator! A methodologist! And this is what I teach you.

The teacher’s greatness, just like the Creator’s greatness, depends on the student. The Creator is revealed to us only according to our feeling of His greatness. Why is He concealed? Because you don’t think highly of Him.

It is the same with the teacher, to the same degree. How do you know your teacher? You don’t know him. Therefore, everything depends on his greatness in your eyes. Only on that!

Question: What is the “revival of the dead” according to the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: In Kabbalah, the revival of the dead means the revival of dead desires. Desires are called dead if they are egoistic and alive if they are altruistic, i.e., are working with an intention for the sake of bestowal. When lifeless, dead, egoistic desires become living, altruistic desires, this is called the revival of the dead.

Torah, Deuteronomy 12:31: You shall not do so to the Lord, your God; for every abomination to the Lord which He hates, they did to their gods, for also their sons and their daughters they would burn in fire to their gods.

In the process of correction, egoism loses everything and dies in the end. After all, the sons and daughters are future properties, future actions of man, future states, and we must make sure they will be alive and that he will not burn or kill them.

In other words, our desires must go through correction and then move forward in the correct way. Otherwise, it is like you kill your children, burn them, and give them to your gods, meaning to your egoism.

Question: You once said that there are many ways to the Creator. What does that mean?

Answer: It says in the Torah that there are twelve tribes and that each tribe has its own way of getting closer to others.

Every person, man or woman, has his own way of getting closer to others.

A person is a small world, which, in fact, includes everything that exists in the world. This is why we have to value every attribute a person has, to keep them, not cut them off, not kill them, not force them to be given up, but only to look for a way of using every attribute a person has correctly.

Torah, Deuteronomy 15:04: However, there will be no needy among you, for the Lord will surely bless you in the land the Lord, your God, is giving you for an inheritance to possess.

A person should care about correcting everything that exists at the new level called “the land of Israel” by becoming closer and connecting everything.

Therefore, he must “kill” even those nations that exist there. In other words, he should kill the egoistic inclination of his uncorrected desires, i.e., stop using them. In this way he corrects them and they remain in the corrected form.

Question: What does “there will be no needy among you” mean?

Answer: You have to provide your screen to everyone without exception so they are in connection with you and can receive the Upper Light.

Torah, Deuteronomy 15:15: And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord, your God, redeemed you; therefore, I am commanding you this thing today.

This is not a reminder. After all, everything originates from a single source. When you bestow to someone you receive from the Creator.

When a person is engaged in spiritual work and bestows to someone, he can clearly see that something new comes to him from above. Therefore, one naturally has to bestow for the sake of giving to others rather than for receiving from above.

Here comes a serious problem. How can one become similar to the Creator and give with no return when he knows that he will receive many times more when he gives to Him?

Comment: It turns out that you will always be rich if you start really giving.

My Response: Of course, because by doing this you liberate yourself from unnecessary burden. If you acquire desires of others and raise them up, then you receive twice as much to pass to others. As it is said “The older one inherits double.”

Question: If we work this way, will we practically become a perpetual motion engine?

Answer: We have the eternal source. If we connect to it, we become the same.

Question: Are you against self-education? How can a group of ultra-egoists convey the attribute of bestowal and altruism to me if they don’t have these attributes?

Answer: Can a person educate himself?! No one conveys anything to you. The members of the group will only draw you inside, into the group with them, and you will try to be with them in order to reveal the positive force of nature. They only show a person how to do it.
