How can one rationally explain the general law of the universe? It is from two directions. First is from the human, social side of life. Here we can rely on scientists and philosophers of all kinds, who arrive at similar conclusions through their research.

They come to results that are very close to the idea that an upper force exists in the world that possesses reason and its own freewill, and that there are individual changes in relation to us that depend solely on it. That is, it is not a blind nature, but something referred to as an upper thought.

Scientists discover this even through their study of nature. I understand them very well in this because, in some way, I also came from that direction.

And from our side, we must, to the extent we can, explain the wisdom of Kabbalah and cleanse it from the assorted rubbish that has stuck to it. As much as we can, we must point people to what is written in the true, ancient sources. There is no person who would disregard them. They may be feared, but no one dismisses them entirely.

It is good if we manage to present these sources in such a way that, in addition to direct quotations, we also provide a very simple, easy explanation, one that can be absorbed by anyone quickly and effortlessly.

It must be something that is grasped instantly, even by a person with little understanding. After all, people today do not have time, cannot stay immersed in a thought for more than a few seconds, and their level of perception is very limited.

What does “quick and easy” mean? It means as close as possible to their Kelim (vessels), according to the law of equivalence of form. It should be that in order for them to perceive an idea, little effort is needed that each time they need to exert effort or overcome something in order to grasp the idea, that effort is very small, a slight reflection, and they have caught it, and with a little bit of thought, they have absorbed it.

Exactly like that. Just a little effort, and what I intended to pass on is already within them.

Question: If we address the wider public, will we need to raise the topic of the group and show that it is a much more general concept?

Answer: I think the topic of the group is actually a very easy one to explain to the public. After all, the people of Israel are not a nation in the usual sense of the word.

At its foundation, it is a group of Kabbalists established by Abraham. The nation exists as a group, in collective responsibility, in relationships of equality by birth, always with a dismissive attitude toward money and honors.

Throughout all generations, the values of the nation were spiritual. If we add to this the antisemitism and general hatred from the world, it becomes clear that from both the side of good—the spiritual side, and the side of evil—the corporeal side, the entire nation is driven from two directions to exist as a group.

Therefore, this approach, when we speak about ourselves and include the entire nation in this process as a group, is very positive and truly resonates.

In the heart of each person, there is something that is rarely found in other nations, a sense of mutual dependence on one another. At the same time, the nation is split into factions that treat one another in extreme ways with hatred, with envy, which is something not seen in other nations.

A nation may be divided into several religions or parts that do not even interact, yet they allow each other to live. But here, that is not the case. There is no tolerance for division within the nation into factions.

We need to explain that, in fact, this is what brings all the evil that exists, that we are all responsible for one another “as one man with one heart.” The people already have a certain readiness for this: they understand that this is harmful, even on a corporeal level, and can also come to realize that, spiritually, this is damaging.

Question: How can there be a completely inner action if there is no calculation, foundation, or knowledge? What remains of an action that has no purpose that I can imagine, no result that I can feel?

Answer: When we give birth to our children, we understand that they are not capable of anything, that they cannot do anything. We simply have to support them, educate them, and fill them with knowledge and food. In general, we want to give them everything we can. It is our instinct.

The same is true in the science of Kabbalah. As soon as we become fit to be parents, that is, to generate new Kelim, the connections between them, and to raise them as much as possible to the level of connection with the Creator, we do it. Then we feel how the Creator helps us. Our entire connection becomes just for His sake.

Question: What does it mean to generate new Kelim?

Answer: It means to feel an emergence of a connection with the Creator that we have not had before. And so we move up the ladder.

Question: Where is the boundary between the fact that I must make efforts and the moment when I can no longer do anything but remain silent and wait? How can this be felt practically?

Answer: Where is this boundary? A person must feel it themselves. There are no instructions based on instruments or indicators.

The spiritual space consists only of the forces that are revealed to us. And we must navigate it in such a way that we always feel we can rely on the one, main force of the Creator on one side, and on the egoistic force on our side, which we deny in its use and wish, as much as possible, to combine with the Creator’s force of bestowal.

Question: What is the difference, from an internal point of view, between the people of Israel and the Land of Israel? What do these definitions mean?

Answer: There is no difference! The people of Israel and the Land of Israel are both attributes of Bina. Both are necessary. We currently lack the attribute of Bina in the Land of Israel because there is no sanctity of the land, and there is no holiness of the land because the people of Israel do not dwell in holiness.

We must reach the correction of GE, that is, zero Aviut, the first and second degrees, as it were, Bina, and that will mean that internally we have entered the Land of Israel. Then we will also enter the Land of Israel externally because externally we will have the strength to be here and no foreign force will be able to invade us.

How did Moses defeat many nations? How did the Romans or Greeks defeat us when they came here? Every war boils down to one question: on whose side is the spiritual advantage—ours or theirs?

If we want to remain here, as Baal HaSulam writes in the article “Introduction to The Book of Zohar,” then we have no choice, in our life here today, in the Land of Israel, we must attain the attribute of “the Land of Israel.” Without this, we have no right to be here! That is why Baal HaSulam writes that if we fail to achieve this, only a handful of people may be left of us. The rest will be overtaken by the Arabs, and we will not be able to live here.

Question: How does the connection of disturbances occur?

Answer: Disturbances are carried out under the influence of the Creator. He deliberately evokes them within us because they compel us to connect with one another and to clarify why we have such qualities, where they come from, what the purpose of creation is, and how we can draw our friends into the ten.

This is the Creator’s work and our response to these questions. He manifests them within us.

Question: Could you explain how the place where we raise a prayer is connected to the strength of that prayer? Yesterday, a part of our group went to Radun, and we prayed at the grave of a righteous person. Everyone felt the power of that prayer.

Answer: That is exactly how it should be. First of all, it is a special place. And second, it is because you genuinely wanted it. At that moment, you felt that your desires were aligning. They did not contradict each other, but rather complemented one another.

If you continue to act this way with regard to all your desires, then you will form such a unified desire that it will surely have an impact on the Creator.

Question: Is our only choice intention?

Answer: Of course, an intention is called action.

Question: The intention can be either for the sake of receiving or for the sake of giving. But when it is for the sake of receiving, you receive blows. So how can we choose a direction?

Answer: Our choice is not to go in the right direction, but to strengthen ourselves and go in the right direction not with the help of blows, but due to importance.

Sooner or later, you will go in that direction. You are making progress today too, but each time it is because of blows. There is another possibility, to advance with the help of increasing importance.

What is the purpose of creation? To delight the creations. What should the creation do? Achieve the purpose of creation. That is, for the Creator, the goal is to please His creations, and you must come to the same point. When will you get to this point? When your attitude is the same: “to delight His creations.” It is very simple!

Question: Can you tell us what the meaning of life is?

Answer: The meaning of life is to change one’s nature from receiving to bestowing, from hatred to love, from rejection to rapprochement with others. And then, through these qualities, you will feel a completely different kind of existence. It will be an opposite world.

You will find fulfillment in fulfilling others. And there will be no disappointment in that.

Comment: It would be great if a person could just—snap! — and it happened.

My Response: We will get there.

Question: I look at people. Today, anyone can post a video and talk about themselves or others. People write a lot on the internet. There are personal blogs, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, whatever you want. And in general, we all know what is happening in the world today. What kind of time are we living in now?

Answer: Our entire existence emphasizes our meaninglessness. This meaninglessness is so complete that there is absolutely nothing. That is why there is apathy.

Question: Is this the time for understanding or figuring out why I live? Has that time come now?

Answer: Yes, it is the time to realize that there is no meaning in our life. And where is it?

Question: Where is it?

Answer: It is nowhere.

Question: At the same time, everything I see is joyless, empty. So what should I do? Where is this meaning of life? Where is that something to make me come alive again?

Answer: The meaning of life lies in the fact that there is nature, vast, immense nature, and there is a thought that governs this nature, sets it in motion, and creates it.

It is this thought, this design, this great intention of nature that we must reveal. And then we will get to know the meaning of life.

Life is everything. What does “everything” mean? It is inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human nature. All of it has a certain meaning that lies above all of it. Meaning is what binds, organizes, and moves all of this. So we must rise above our life.

Question: Are you calling on a person to become a scientist?

Answer: Not a scientist, no. We must simply open our eyes.

Question: And understand the intention behind everything?

Answer: Yes, why nature created all of this.

Question: And what is that intention?

Answer: That is exactly what nature is pushing us toward. That is what we must reveal.

The intention is to rise above our world because this world is actually the worst of all worlds. And that is not a poetic expression. To rise above it means to discover this intention, this force, this thought, this design.

And when we attain this thought, we begin to perceive everything beyond time, beyond space, beyond everything. Then a person begins to feel himself on the level of the Creator.

Question: So what is this thought?

Answer: It is harmony. Absolute harmony among all parts of creation. It is something that we lack. And that is why by acting on us in this way, nature is driving us toward attaining that harmony.

This is what we must reveal. We cannot escape from it. We will not be able to just destroy ourselves completely or forget it. We will have to reveal and attain this harmony.
