Question: You told us that once when you and Rabash were driving somewhere, your car suddenly stalled. Then Rabash read TES and the car started. This, in principle, is perceived as a miracle. Did the Kabbalist somehow influence this?

Answer: Yes he did. So what? He could in a particular form influence the engine, but not me. Then he would take away my freewill.

Question: That is, a Kabbalist can influence some kind of inanimate level?

Answer: This is not about whether he can or cannot do that! You can do your child’s homework from school instead of him. But what is the point? What will he do on the exams?

Question: But if people who are on the inanimate level behave like robots, does it mean that a Kabbalist can influence them?

Answer: What for? Man, during tens of thousands of years of his development from fossil species to our time and beyond, must develop only under the influence of nature. There should be no influence of people on him from the side; there is no coercion in spirituality.

By doing this, you are depriving him of the opportunity to grow further. If you solve a problem instead of him, you remove an obstacle before him, and that’s it, he is no longer ready to advance further. He will not be able to!

Question: Does it harm a person to be changed, for example, from left-handed to a right-handed?

Answer: Of course, any intrusion in the natural inclinations of a person is harmful. We must give a person the right to freely develop his or her qualities and based on them participate in the general correction of all mankind and the common soul. It is then that we will be able to realize everyone correctly and achieve harmony.

Therefore, Kabbalistic education is based on the fact that in no case do we get inside a person and say what is bad in him and what is good. We only fill him with knowledge from the inside, and he will realize this knowledge as soon as he can.

Question: So it does not matter if a child is right-handed or left-handed?

Answer: It does not matter at all with what inclinations a person was born. He may be weak, clumsy, limited, not brilliant, but if he fulfills his purpose and realizes himself, he reaches his perfection.

Then, in a spiritual state, he feels absolutely like everyone else. After all, if he was created with such qualities and this is exactly what is part of him in the common soul, then he does not need anything else. He attains the same perfection as the highest righteous souls. Absolutely the same because the system is integral.

Question: How did you manage to diminish your pride in front of others?

Answer: This work continues until complete correction.

We know that even RASHBI’s disciples, who began to study the upper worlds and write The Book of Zohar from their revelation, initially felt themselves hating each other. That is, it is constant work! Knead and knead yourself all the time! And not by your own strength, because you do not have your own strength! Only if the Creator helps.

And He will help if you obligate Him, make Him! You will indicate what and how you want Him to change, prove to Him that only He can do it. Then He will. Otherwise, it will not be according to your desire!

Question: Does it mean that a person who has crossed into the spiritual world is faced with an even greater problem of pride?

Answer: Of course! Every time! How can there be an ascent up the spiritual steps if an even greater egoism is not revealed beforehand each time?

Question: How did you protect yourself so that this would not happen?

Answer: For many, many years I have constantly convinced myself that there is nothing else in the world.

And in fact, what else is there in our world? Food, sex, family, some knowledge, a little fame, a little wealth, a little power. This is all good because it gives a person some kind of sense of existence. But, in principle, this is one big lie, which, just as it came to a person and organized itself as a shell of all his desires and properties, will go away.

Who am I? The one who exists in this shell. I have to understand my root. This is the most important thing to keep in mind. Without this, I am nobody and nothing. Without this, I will not be there tomorrow, and there will really be nothing left.

Comment: Sometimes you say that after you there will be extensive material in the archive, and then the group can go on by itself.

My Response: No, it will not work! It will be the same as all over the world, the same farce.

If a certain mass of people from among my students do not reach the exit to the upper world, then all this may fall again and die out. The world will plunge into darkness again, and will be unable to reach the upper degree in a kind, smooth, fast way. It will plunge into decades of wars, terrible wars of annihilation: shoot, burn, and clean up the Earth.

Question: You say that the teacher does the work for the students. What do you do to help students, what elements do you use?

Answer: I act the same way as parents who do everything for their children, but this is hidden from the child’s awareness. That is why you do not see or feel anything yet, you are at the degree of a child.

Question: Maybe you will reveal some secret?

Answer: There are no secrets here! I am not hiding anything. You hide everything from yourself with your own brains. The whole of nature, the whole universe, is open. What can I do? Should I put different eyes in you so that you can see?

A small child who really wants to become an adult is comforted by the toy bought for him. He plays with it, he sees himself in it; it matches him. What can he do with a huge car or with some incomprehensible system?

Question: What discussions did you have with your teacher?

Answer: He repeated the same thing a hundred times. It entered me gradually, until eventually at least something got in. Therefore, today I understand why everything is happening in the world, I understand the situation.

As long as I live, I want to pass on my knowledge to others and thereby relieve some moments of humanity’s existence. I hope I can do it. What else do I live for? If I received some knowledge and it suddenly starts to be really useful today, how can I not share it?

Humanity perhaps today still does not understand much, except for a small part of people, but it is approaching this very quickly. I am sure that our knowledge will spread without any connection with me; it does not matter to me.

Gradually, people will see that everything that happens to them today is necessary only so that they unite. And after uniting, they will enter a new level, a new degree.

Comment: You say that pride throws a person away from spirituality. Two or three times, he is given a chance, and then he is either discarded or enters. But pride is not under a person’s control.

My Response: It means we need to work on it. How it will work out is another matter.

When you work on yourself, you begin to understand that pride is not under your control, but what is, is that you can start screaming to be saved from it.

99% of people drop out from Kabbalah because of pride because it is the only factor that prevents them from advancing.

Pride is the inability of a person to bend his head before others, to make himself nothing, and to do what is indicated. Despite the fact that you do not want to, cannot force yourself, and have excuses, you still have to do everything through “I cannot,” and approach people whom you are unable to approach, and from whom you are repelled. Meaning, all your egoism, your feelings, and views crumple up like a piece of paper.

Question: One student asked his mentor, “Teacher, what would you say if you found out I fell?”
“I would say: “Get up!”
“And next time?”
“Again: “Get up!”
“How long can it go on, this constant falling and rising?”
“Fall and rise as long as you live! After all, those who fell and did not get up are dead!”

Until when are we learning to fall and rise all the time? After all, we are growing and we do understand something.

Answer: But these descents and ascents grow in their quality along with my growth. Therefore, they are not the same, they are not equal.

Comment: According to this sage, this is life. When they stop, this is death.

My Response: Yes.

Question: Should we expect falls all the time?

Answer: I do not think it is necessary to live with this. But, in principle, the fact that they will be is inevitable.

Question: Is it possible to teach a person and humanity in a different way?

Answer: No, a person will not reveal himself in any way if he does not go through descents and ascents.

Question: What is the secret in these descents; what do they teach us? They can lead to extreme conditions.

Answer: So, what? They can bring us to any state.

Question: You are calm about it. This is life, right?

Answer: This is life and this is development.

Question: Can the fall be such that a person will not get up? To whom is this given and for what?

Answer: These are special individuals. I do not think this is given to people often. And some people really need this.

Question: You have said more than once that a person is given only what he can endure. What do you mean by that? We see that there are many things that people cannot endure, but they are given them. Or can they still endure them?

Answer: They can. What can people not endure? It all just seems to us that they cannot endure and cannot survive. No. A person survives everything, endures everything, and can work on himself so much that no other being can survive it.

Question: What does “endure” mean? Does it mean to agree with this blow? What is “to exit out of it”?

Answer: Even to agree and even to understand, realize, and survive. This is called getting out of a descent. The fall itself is when I just give myself to it.

Question: What should be the principle of a person’s life in general?

Answer: The principle of a person’s life should be very simple: I have to feel others instead of myself, I have to live not in myself, but in others. That is all. In principle, this leads to the correct result.

Question: So, are you saying that if I close in on myself, then a descent is inevitable, and if I am always open to others and live for them, then I quickly jump out of it?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Why are we given these falls?

Answer: The descents are given in order to empty a person of the past so that he is ready to be filled with the future. Every fall and every rise is a renewal of a person.

Question: Until when can he be renewed? Which peak should he reach?

Answer: Until it completely renews itself. This is the state when he returns to the state of the first man, Adam, that is, to the root of his soul. After then, he no longer needs to change, so to say, internally.

Question: Does he then return to his permanent place, as it were?

Answer: He returns to his place in his original point in the soul of Adam.

Question: “Soul of Adam,” do you mean that this is a single soul?

Answer: Yes. He returns to his point in this soul. Each person has to go through this path of rises and falls in order to return to this point. We cannot run away from this.

Question: Do we know this point in advance? Do we know where we are going?

Answer: We cannot know it because we cannot feel it.

Question: At what point do I begin to feel it?

Answer: When you actually approach it.

Question: Why is it given to us not to feel it?

Answer: We do not have these properties of bestowal, love, connection with other souls, and so on.

Question: So, am I going to this connection, which will connect us into one? Is that where I am going?

Answer: Yes. Therefore, the commandment, that is, the main condition, is “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Comment: You said that when a person feels pain, he is deliberately hidden from the Creator so that he does not harm himself.

My Response: If a person feels pain, it means that he is opposite from the Creator, nature, the quality of bestowal. Then, in order not to harm his attitude to the general system of nature, he forgets that he is in it at all and just goes deeper into pain.

Comment: But the pain should not be very strong.

My Response: No, you do not know nature. The pain can be severe to such an extent that a person will beg for death and will not be able to die.

Question: And what kind of pain allows him to wake up after all?

Answer: If while working in a group to unite with his friends he sees that he is not moving forward to connect with them, then this causes him pain. Meaning, it is a purposeful pain coming from the right goal, the right movement forward, the right vector. Then this pain is useful. It is called suffering from love, not just suffering.

When you want to be connected with the whole of humanity in one single system and feel that you are not able to—your body, your desire, your egoistic qualities do not allow you to do this—then your suffering is correct because it leads you to the need to correct yourself.

Question: How do I stick to the feeling that everything I do not like about other people is actually positive?

Answer: Only through your inner correction. This must be corrected internally. There is no other way.

You cannot destroy qualities you do not like. Of course you can force people not to use them, to cover them up, and suppress them. But at the same time, you suppress a person’s ability to realize himself. You lose because of this.

Question: Is all the suppression and attempts to correct a person the same prison, and everything else is just useless?

Answer: According to Judaism, prison is generally prohibited. It does not correct anyone. In America, prisons are called correction centers. But what kind of correction is there?

We see that well-trained thieves, swindlers, robbers, murderers, and rapists of an even higher class come out of there. A prisoner graduated from “school,” the second imprisonment is “university,” the third one a “Ph.D.”, and so on. Why do we need this? Instead, we need to correct ourselves.

Question: How can we follow the normal path of development? What is a person’s choice?

Answer: A person’s choice is only to unite over all the forces that oppose this.

There are two forces that affect us. We are given a left, evil, egoistic force, rejection from each other, and using each other. And we need to demand another force, the altruistic force, the force of connection, the force of love. We can attract it only through engagement in the highest degree.

Being engaged in the highest degree, we sort of pull ourselves up to it, play this game like a child who wants to be big and plays in this state.

Question: And how will those who do not practice Kabbalah come to this?

Answer: They will come through us. They will listen to what we tell them. They do not need to do anything special. There is enough material presented by us in an easy way: what is freedom of will, how we should be connected with each other, etc.
