Question: Even after the Machsom (barrier), will a person have physical suffering, or will he only feel a lack of spiritual Light instead?

Answer: All kinds of physical suffering will accompany us until we attain the goal of creation, the completion of correction, otherwise we will not attain this goal.

Question: How do we include people who are closest and dearest to us within us? What is worthwhile for us to do, what should we think about?

Answer: The dearest and closest people to us are those who are with us together in a single soul because through them we can bestow to the Creator, attaining equivalence of form and adhesion with Him.

Question: What is the mission of a person who studies the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: A person who studies the wisdom of Kabbalah, and I emphasize a person and not a man, has to make sure that he perfectly corrects his part in the general system called creation or Adam (Man), in his relationships with all created beings on the levels of the still, vegetative, animate, and the speaking nature, and through them, his relations with the Creator.

If this is what he does, he is called man, Adam, who resembles the Creator no matter whether it is a man or woman in our world. In our world, a man can do much more intensive work than a woman because he has a bigger ego and a lesser yearning for the Creator.

All the great Kabbalists wrote their books only from the attainment of the upper system, upper forces, and upper governance. Exactly through his attainments, Moses wrote the Torah as a story of the crossing the Sinai desert for forty years. It, in fact, speaks only about spiritual actions.

It is the same with Rambam and other Kabbalists. Each one selected some kind of special, earthly form of presentation that was close to him and described spiritual phenomena. The interesting thing is that when you explain this on the earthly level, you receive such laws that through keeping them, the society becomes totally different. It is as if society conserves itself through protection from bad internal problems.

This level is called Holy Still (Domem de Kedusha) and it protects a person from many problems because some illumination of the upper forces descends upon him. Although he doesn’t understand anything and just keeps the traditions, he protects himself.

However, the goal is not in this; this is just a minimum level of preservation. It is followed by the vegetative, animate, and human levels where certain efforts are required from us to change our internal state.

The first level, Domem de Kedusha, doesn’t require anything apart from one thing: “Preserve yourself.” You were given this tradition and you must scrupulously abide by it.

However, if you don’t keep it, you fall from this level. To keep means to work always against constantly growing egoism. It is necessary to rise constantly in order to compensate for the descent of egoism. It is impossible to be just spiritually still because the people of Israel fell from this level.

In those times, sages taught on the spiritually still level and tried to pull people to the higher degrees so that they themselves would advance and grow spiritually. However, the people thought that it is enough for them to stay the way they are, “Why shouldn’t I be the same as my grandfather?! I perform everything as required.” A person doesn’t even feel that everything that he does is only mechanical.

Thus, there is what is called the descent of the generations to the point that we see today. And everything is just because they left the spiritual ascent. After all, it is impossible to remain on the same level without compensating for the growing egoism.

Question: Does every person have a point in the heart?

Answer: Yes, but there are people whose point in the heart will not be revealed in them for another 200 years, and there are those in whom it has already been revealed today.

We don’t know when the point in the heart will be revealed in a person, so we disseminate the wisdom of Kabbalah without coercion, without any pressure. Someone who wants it, someone to whom this method speaks, will come and learn.

The soul is our desire to get fulfilled due to the correction and is connected with the desires of other people so that there are no barriers between them anymore.

This common desire is felt by us as one and is called the vessel of the soul. The feeling that we reveal in this common desire is called the Light of the soul or its fulfillment.

But we must sort our desires and fulfillments and always ensure that they are directed only to the mutual bestowal between us and from it to the general mutual bestowal to the Creator.

The vessel of the soul is constructed in such a way that all initial negative qualities remain in it, and the corrections are made above them. That revelation of the transgressions of egoism and their subsequent correction give us a sense of the depth of the connection between us.

We see in our world how in a family and in a friendship various problems arise constantly because we are egoists. And until our egoism is corrected by going through quarrels and conflicts and then correction, and more conflicts and more corrections, we can’t be sure that we are connected with each other.

Therefore, the gradual revelation of all the problems is necessary in order for us to correct ourselves continuously and to connect with each other.

At the same time, those who move forward feel the various problems and contradictions even more, so much so that they can’t cope with them. In this way the general system, the general soul, teaches them how to find the correct connection between each other and where they actually are.

And so on, until the very end! Only once all the transgressions are revealed and a unifed love is revealed above them, a person can be sure that he really is righteous. It is impossible to come to this state if he hasn’t revealed wicked in him.

The Creator reveals this in him; after all, there is nothing new, everything comes from the source of our souls. All the “crimes” are inside a person, and he is obliged to reveal this. The revelation happens in stages, not immediately, according to the qualities, abilities and relationship with the world that he is given. Here he must be in connection with the Creator, in gratitude to Him, and must cover everything with love.

A person is not given what he can’t handle. Evil is revealed only once the Creator gives a person certain internal and external circumstances so he can rise above the evil, overcome it, and cover it with love.

Torah, Deuteronomy 13:1: Everything I command you that you shall be careful to do it. You shall neither add to it, nor subtract from it.

All the measurements of spiritual actions must be very precise. A person cannot do less or more. If he does less than he can perform in order to bestow, it means he was greedy and didn’t give enough of himself. And if he does more, then it means that he thoughtlessly attracted his uncorrected egoism to it.

It should be cut exactly along the verge of realizing that we can work in order to bestow up to the certain state and no further. Then there will be a clear distinction, no more and no less.

All this is decided in the head of the spiritual Partzuf. The soul has a head part and a body part. The head part finds solutions for all the problems, and the body part implements them.

Question: Can the body part disagree with the head part?

Answer: No, it can’t. But the confirmation of what you realize must be exactly in the material body part. In other words, the head should know clearly what you can allow yourself in the body. It doesn’t happen often in the material world, but the spiritual path is built entirely upon it.

“You shall neither add to it, nor subtract from it” is an absolutely clear action measured in advance.

If you make the calculation “no more and no less” in your head, it means that nothing will happen to you in the body.

You won’t go into either Klipa (impure qualities) of the right line or Klipa of the left line.

With the correct connection of all the parts of the single soul, they must be joined together and incorporated into one single whole so that common knowledge, common opinion, common faith, and common “food”: bestowal and reception from each other, will circulate in it, so this single system of the hearts (desires) and intentions (mind) will work correctly, and everyone will feel the entire system.

When we together are connected to this system, each through all connects to everyone and each one feels that he is not just a small part of the system, but is the system itself – Adam. In other words, everything included in this system and everything that is created is me.

I feel that the Creator created me personally because when I connect to each piece of the soul, I feed it and receive from it. It turns out that my inclusion in bestowal and reception is absolutely unique and individual because I am the one who does it. And this is the same from your side and from his side.

Everyone feels like one whole. There is a single Creator that has a complete open contact with the single creation – each of the six hundred thousand pieces that make up the soul.

Feeling full contact with the Creator is the spiritual degree of a human. In our world it is similar to how a woman demands that a man belong to her fully, leaving nothing for him: no life, no work, no thoughts, and no mind. She instinctively wants to absorb him.

In principle, the same desire is revealed in a person with respect to the Creator; after all, a person is considered a female (receiving) part relative to Him. This is how it works; we must reach this state. It is manifested only on a spiritual degree and won’t work on any other levels.

Question: Why has the Creator, who is just and who wants to give us pleasure, created an unjust world where people suffer throughout history because of their egoism, which was also created by the Creator? How can we explain the fact that instead of pleasure there have been only wars, pain, and suffering for thousands of years?

Answer: It is impossible to bring man who is an egoist to the right altruistic intention without such shocks.

A person was created egoistically so as not to invoke the mutual destruction of pleasure and of the desire. If I eat something tasty, for example, I enjoy the taste and then after a while the taste becomes duller. I will cease to feel pleasure and the desire is exhausted and disappears because it is gradually filled by the pleasure.

How can we reach a state in which the desire keeps growing and accordingly the pleasure is felt increasingly more strongly?

In order to do so we have to create a certain device, like a resistor between a plus and minus, which will not enable the desire and the pleasure to connect directly and thus create a short circuit but which will process both the desire and the pleasure into a special energy.

This internal device is called a soul.

The ego, which the Creator develops in us, is the minus. The Upper Light, which we feel as pleasure, which also comes from the Creator, is the plus. And between them is the soul—that is us.

This is how we operate. So we have to do our best in order to feel the ego that appears in us as negative and the Light as positive.

When we feel the gap between them and want them to exist together, we will be able to develop the state called soul inside us, the middle line, that we build and create ourselves.

Question: What does the wisdom of Kabbalah say about how we should work with our pleasure and our desire so that one will not extinguish the other?

Answer: The wisdom of Kabbalah tells us how we should act with the intention of in order to bestow unto others and not for our own sake, which means that I enjoy the fact that I bring others pleasure. “Others” is an enormous infinite desire that is external to me. If I convey the pleasure that fills them through me, this pleasure flows through me and fills me, but doesn’t extinguish the desire because it has to be passed on to them. Thus, we can say that between me and the pleasure there is another person. I, as the upper Partzuf in Kabbalistic terms, take the pleasure and pass it on to another. If people are together in one network and receive from each other in order to pass it on to each other, they simultaneously receive everything and convey everything and thus are in an infinite, eternal flow of absolute pleasure.

This is the formula of eternal pleasure—to enjoy for the sake of another. It is absolutely logical and we can actually understand it, but we have to fulfill it so that it will work.

Question: Can we illustrate this idea by examples from our world?

Answer: It is impossible to bring examples to someone who doesn’t distinguish between the attributes of bestowal and receiving. We can only see these attributes inside us. It isn’t concealed, but it depends on the intensity of the general desire of humanity, which doesn’t feel the real need for and isn’t ready yet to acquire the perfect eternal pleasure through bestowal. There are very few people who want to learn to bestow. It is a way to receive enormous pleasure.
