The topic of “There is None Else Besides Him” is the most important in the wisdom of Kabbalah, and each time it is perceived in a new way. It seems to us that we are repeating the same words, but there is never any repetition because we are changing all the time.

Therefore, this concept will be perceived by us in a new way. If a person does not feel any changes, then he should worry about it.

The concept of “There is None Else Besides Him” is always changing because it speaks about the Creator Himself, about His uniqueness, about the higher governance that acts upon us.

If each person in the group annuls themselves, a collective Kli (vessel) is formed in which there can be no other desire except to bring contentment to the Creator.

Friends gather together, each one with their own ego. Each begins to fight with everyone else for the sake of their ego. But gradually, through the surrounding light, with the help of various means that they employ, they begin to discover that it is worthwhile to renounce their ego, to unite with everyone, and to accept what the group dictates.

And when everyone together begins to bow before some idea, not yet really knowing what it is, then through the accumulation of these renunciations of their ego, a single annulment of us in relation to the Creator begins to be revealed. With the correct connection for the sake of bestowal, in faith above reason, the group’s collective desire will be directed only toward the Creator.

But if the development is incorrect, then even when the friends unite and are able to yield to one another, it will resemble the sin of Sodom. They will be directed not toward the Creator, but toward themselves, supposedly for the sake of the good of society, a kind of an abstraction. And this will lead to destruction, as it happened in Russia and in the Kibbutzim. But we see that this is no longer happening.

If the development is correct, then when we unite in a group, it will be revealed that we are incapable of doing this; for it, we need the force of the Creator, His presence as a guarantor, as the one who binds us together.

Therefore, we can say that there is a certain confidence that we are progressing correctly.

It is said that the Creator went from nation to nation, wishing to give the Torah for the correction of the qualities of the will to receive, but no one was able to accept it. Then He gave it to Israel, that is, to Galgalta ve Eynaim (GE).

Thus, there exist qualities called Galgalta ve Eynaim, and if they undergo a shattering together with the AHP and become mixed with it, then afterward, through them, it becomes possible to correct AHP, in other words, to bring the Torah to the nations of the world through Israel, as correction and fulfillment.

After all, the receiving vessels are, in fact, the purpose of creation, and their adhesion with the Creator is the desired final state.

Therefore, in correcting the souls after the shattering, when all these parts are intermixed, GE is corrected first, the category of Israel, which originally required no correction.

Still, it must be corrected so that, once extracted from the mixture and corrected, it serves as an auxiliary system intended solely to correct AHP.

How can I connect my momentary small action with the final point of the path while hoping that through every action I perform now, the force will come to me through which I will advance, find a connection with spirituality, with the upper force, and it will be revealed to me.

Question: Does it make sense to artificially remind yourself of this?

Answer: If you artificially remember this, it is wonderful! If you do not remember, then your group is not working properly.

Remembering in any way, even if you do not want to (which is even more beneficial), about the internal action that you have to perform, that every moment to connect your work to the ultimate goal of attaining adhesion with the Creator, of entering eternity, perfection—it is good.

Although, perhaps, at that very moment you realize that you do not want it, that you are fed up with everything, it does not matter, this is still called connection. But if you are disconnected from the goal, then it means that your group is not working well enough to awaken such thoughts in you every second.

We do not realize how much our attitude toward the world improves it! Only now are physicists discovering that the results of their experiments with matter depend on the experimenter and their attitude. Only now are we discovering that even a plant feels how I relate to it.

We do not understand that it is precisely our attitude, meaning, our intention, that changes all of reality. We do not see it because we do not see the results. And we do not see intentions, we cannot clarify them, see them, or measure them. That is the problem.

Nevertheless, this alone operates in the universe; matter is brought into motion specifically by the attitude toward it. What is a matter by itself for? It cannot generate any movement on its own.

Therefore, when speaking about how we should appear before the rest of the world, it should not be at all as if we are actively involved in politics, economics, security, or anything of the sort.

Our involvement is solely in education, spreading this knowledge and bringing everyone who desires it to the right attitude toward reality, nature, and the world in which they live.

Each person can influence the whole world, both positively and negatively. This is a consequence of the interpenetration of souls and the breaking of a single Kli of creation called the common soul of Adam HaRishon.

Initially we existed in a wonderful union in it that was created by the light. In its presence, all desires were suppressed, sweetened, combined and, of course, were in the intention of bestowing to each other. All this was a manifestation of the light, which thus supported these desires from the moment it created them.

Then the shattering occurred. That is, the light departing from the Kli led to the fact that the Kli remained in its natural properties, in its nature, which had never happened before.

It was discovered that the nature of creation is the desire to enjoy. Since the creation does not feel the light, the nature of the giver, it begins to exist within itself, immersed in itself, and of course thinks, checks, and makes calculations only in accordance with the desire to receive, each according to one’s own desire.

Then a shattering occurred between all desires that once felt united, like one organism in which various organs function together and think only of helping others. It was clear to them this was one system that cannot exist any other way.

Suddenly a desire erupted in everyone, a desire unrelated to the desires of others. Everyone began to care only about their personal existence. Thus, there was a breakage among all parts of the common soul, the common Kli of Adam HaRishon.

Question: What determines the measure people connect to Kabbalah?

Answer: We do not know precisely the measure of connection, how, in what form, or in what way it happens. But suddenly we discover that there are whole groups of people in the world who feel a sense of belonging to this.

Just as, on the other hand, we see that among the Jewish people there are those who hate this idea, who do not want to accept it, and who even want to destroy you more than all the nations of the world.

But it is not for our mind to understand why, during the shattering, certain reactions occur, and why in our people there are those who are against us, and among the nations of the world, there are those who are for us.

We must not make these calculations. Lights clarify the vessels. Our task is only to reveal this thought, this general picture, more and more to everyone. This knowledge will draw the surrounding lights closer, which will perform the clarifications throughout the world. It is not our role to interfere in the process itself.

It is said: Even if a sharp sword rests upon a person’s neck, he should not deny himself of mercy (Rabash, “Come Unto Pharaoh – 1”). 

We do not know, but in the most difficult moments, precisely through the shattering, from the depth of despair and disappointment, heaviness, hopelessness, and dead ends, suddenly the path is revealed, adhesion, a leap toward the light. In all this, we must proceed entirely above reason.

Question: Why is intention not related to the physical body?

Answer: It is because the physical body is the desire to receive. The desire to receive cannot give. Thus, its action can be one of two things: either to restrict itself and not receive, or to receive. What happens to the desire to receive when the property of Bina is added to it?

Comment: The ability to give is added.

My Response: How is that? Can the desire to receive give? Can the desire to receive start giving when the second stage enters the fourth stage? It can make a restriction, but it can never give! Only the intention behind the action is added to it.

Therefore we say that in both education and correction, we in fact pay attention not to the desire to receive, but only to intentions. That is what is important to us. To the extent of our intention, we take the desire to receive and combine them together.

I use the desire to receive only to the extent that I can increase the intention. What does the world exist for? For the intention or for the desire to receive? For the intention! To constantly nurture it. At the same time, the desire to receive is matter, raw material. As it belonged to the Creator, so it does now. The creation is the one who builds an intention above the desire to receive.

There is no greater holiday than the holiday of receiving the Torah. After all, if not for the Torah, we would only lead an animal existence “for as long as the world turns.”

But we have the opportunity to use the upper force, and with its help to leap into a higher dimension, to continue our existence, to live in the spiritual dimension.

From this world, this reality we are experiencing now, we can smoothly transition into a new state, into another world, a dimension that has nothing to do with planet Earth and this universe.

We can reveal ourselves as existing in the form of eternal, perfect, complete harmony, without the limitations of the material world.

With the help of the upper force, a passage will open for us from our world, from this flawed life, to a perfect existence.

The means of transition from our dimension to a higher one is called “Torah,” a special force that gradually changes us to a new state; and to the extent of our change, we smoothly transition into it, until all our earthly, i.e., all our egoistic properties are replaced by spiritual, altruistic ones.

A person receives the opportunity to move on to an eternal and perfect existence. Therefore, getting this opportunity is the most important event in our lives, a true holiday!

Comment: I can relate to you and to the writings of Baal HaSulam, but I feel Rabash is somehow in between, and I cannot quite grasp him.

My Response: I understand you on the one hand. But on the other hand, it is completely not the case. Rabash gave us all the foundations of spiritual work. Before him, they had not been presented systematically. Kabbalists either wrote commentaries on the Torah, or letters, and articles, but a systematic presentation of the inner work a person must do to attain the Creator was given to us only by my teacher Rabash.

He wrote nearly 500 articles on this topic. In them, he expressed absolutely all the states of a person starting the spiritual path from zero and moving forward.

What Rabash did is a priceless contribution to Kabbalah! It is such an invaluable, irreplaceable help for a beginner, one that cannot be drawn from The Book of Zohar, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, or any other works!

On one hand he was a great Kabbalist, and on the other a very concealed one and cunning in how he concealed himself, how he hid everything, and stayed in the shadow of his father!

You are right when you say, “Somehow I don’t see him, he just slips past.” He truly diminished himself: “Who am I? My father was the great Kabbalist.”

Rabash was the greatest Kabbalist, with such discoveries, such achievements, such writings, and yet he constantly concealed it: “I just study a little,” and so on. No one knew him or understood him.

He was a great practitioner, a great systematizer, a great teacher, a great educator!

In his articles, he laid out the system of spiritual work in various forms suitable for every person, every soul, every style, at all times and states that we go through.

I could speak endlessly about what he did! Not because he was my teacher, the closest and dearest person to me, but because he truly did something for us without which we could not take a single step forward. We could not!

Now that we are finally beginning to study his articles seriously, I hope we will come to realize this. It is a very serious work, incomparable to anything else.
