Since we still do not know how to act for the sake of the Creator, we must act for the sake of our group, for the sake of our friends. It is the same as in ordinary life, a person never lives only for himself. After all, he has parents, children, or even grandchildren already, and he lives for the sake of all of them.

Sometimes we hear that a person dreams of giving up everything and going to a deserted island to take care only of himself. But this is only out of desperation because a person should be connected with others.

Modern media connect us more and more closely to each other. As a result, we will feel like living together with the whole world, not just inside our computer, but inside our brain, our heart, from where it is impossible to escape. In this way, the Creator will obligate us to unite as one person with one heart.

Now we reject this connection, but it will certainly come, partly unconsciously and partly according to our own desire, for lack of another solution.

Everyone will be required to become specialists in the field of connection between people. Just as today everyone needs to know how to turn on a computer, enter a password, how to use email and other applications, so in the future we will need more and more knowledge in building a connection between hearts.

Question: What is joy?

Answer: Joy is a feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment.

Question: What is the difference between spiritual joy and corporeal joy?

Answer: There is no difference. Filling itself happens mechanically. When the desire is filled, then joy is felt.

There is joy from corporeal (animal) fulfillment when you fill yourself. And there is joy in filling other people who were strangers to you, but you turned them into loved ones, and therefore you rejoice in their filling. This is called spiritual joy. Compared to egoistic joy, this one is not limited.

In egoism, you can only fill yourself. Therefore, you are limited in volume, and, consequently, in quantity, in the force of joy, and in its sensation. That is, your life is limited by the size of our world.

In starting to fill others, you reach a degree where your filling becomes boundless, infinite, and therefore gives you a sense of eternity, perfection, free space, and unlimitedness.

But this is only when you have love for others, when you are ready to fill them infinitely because at the same time you connect with the Creator. He gives you everything to fill others. And you guide Him through yourself to them as to your most beloved, desired, loved ones, relatives. Therefore, you have an unlimited opportunity to fill everyone and feel great joy in accordance with this.

This feeling of immense, infinite joy when an endless stream of pleasure passes through you gives you a feeling of upper eternal life. But to do this, you must first start loving others.

Comment: This is the hardest part.

My Response: But this is the main commandment, because if a person approaches this, then he is moving correctly and realizing himself. And if not, then whatever he does in this life is worthless.

Question: What is the force of nature?

Answer: Force is force. But in a person, it is also expressed in desire because all our matter is desire. Therefore, there is a desire and the force of desire by which we can measure it.

The Creator is characterized by the force of pleasure, meaning bestowal and love. But in relation to us, these qualities are manifested as the force of His pressure on us, meaning the cause from which any effect proceeds. Therefore, we measure His influence, His love, for us by the force of influence, the force of love, with which this field affects us.

There is a difference between the spiritual field, in which all kinds of qualities are located, and the force of the influence of this field on some foreign object located in it.

If this object has adopted the quality of the spiritual field, then they are in balance, no one is pressing on anything. But if this object is still somehow foreign, that is, does not correspond to the qualities of the field, then the field acts on it and causes movement in order to bring this object into balance with itself.
This is what happens in our world, and exactly the same law operates in the spiritual world.

Question: What is a lie?

Answer: A lie is a quality opposite to the Creator, its reverse side.

In order to determine His qualities, we need to plunge into the qualities that are the opposite of Him in everything. Therefore, the Creator created darkness so that from feeling it we would come to understand what light is. Otherwise, we would not understand it because we cannot see anything in one solid white light.

Since we, as created beings, must feel the qualities of the Creator, we need to consist of two opposite sensations: darkness and light. On their contrast and various transitions, we build images of ourselves and the Creator and thus reveal Him.

Question: Does it mean that if we talk about the truth, then the Creator is the truth?

Answer: Yes, because we need to measure relative to something. If I measure relative to my egoism, that is one thing. But if I by myself (since I am constantly changing) want to take some more objective measure of reference, then I try to find the Creator to measure relative to Him.

After all, if He controls everything and dominates everything, then no matter whether I think about Him well or badly, I have to take Him as a starting point.

Question: As a Kabbalist, you feel the world differently than an ordinary person. Do you feel the general pain when something happens to the world?

Answer: And what do I do every day? Telling everyone and everywhere how to come to a better life not in a tragic way but gently, smoothly, quickly, and comfortably.

I feel the pain that all of humanity may experience.

Question: But not the current one?

Answer: The current suffering is not pain compared to what may happen. It is so small that it is not even worth talking about it.

Of course it is suffering. Of course it is a great torment. You look at the screen and see skeletal children without food, without drink, without medication, dying from infectious diseases. You see drug addicts and depressed people. And is it better for the rest? Look at what they are messing around with, what are they doing in general?

But compared to what may happen during this period when correction is realized not in a good way, but in an evil way… Can you imagine how much humanity needs to be beaten in order for it to correct itself, to turn it into awareness, from awareness to consent, and from consent to realization?

But here, it is right away—take it and implement it. Easy. After all, if the majority is together, then everything is easy.

Question: Everything comes from the Creator. But it could have been better, right?

Answer: If there was no freewill, you would say: “That is it, I am going ahead. Let it be as it will be.” This is a kind of philosophy based on the fact that nothing can be done, everything goes by nature, and we will use it. That is, we will act where it is better because we still do not know the laws of nature.

Kabbalah teaches that there is freewill; we can shorten our path of suffering and turn it into pleasure. Then why should we act limply or wantonly?

The fact is that an ordinary person cannot combine two approaches to life: on the one hand, there is none else besides the Creator and He controls everything, and on the other hand, everyone must say, “Everything depends on me, I control everything.”

So, who, after all, is in control? The solution is very simple, although it does not fit in our head because we only work in one world. We cannot work in two worlds or at the junction between them. This requires the creation of new feelings in us.

In order to combine both approaches within oneself, it is necessary to reach a state where a person at the beginning of any action says: “If I am not for me, who is for me?” i.e., everything depends on me.

And after he has completed some action, he is obliged to say: “All this was originally planned, decided, established, and executed by the Creator, and my actions did not give anything. Even if I did not do them, I would still achieve the same result.”

This is impossible for us to understand. We do not have qualities from two-dimensional space. By two-dimensional, we mean our existence in two dimensions. We are only in one dimension, ours, and therefore we cannot combine these concepts within ourselves.

Question: In filling the desires of another person, how do I sense them?

Answer: You feel yourself and the other as one, that there is nothing closer to you. Everything personal, which you used to consider your “I,” disappears from your feeling as completely extraneous, unimportant, and like an animal living next to you, no more.

Question: How can one imagine this if a person’s egoism becomes stronger and stronger?

Answer: Egoism grows precisely so that you use it to connect more and more with someone who is outside of you. The more egoism shows you how far you are from each other, the more you have a great opportunity to overcome it with the help of the power of light, the upper force, to get closer to the other and be filled through him.

After all, when you fill a loved one, you fill yourself more than you fill him because you do it in spite of your egoism. In this way you feel the full power of fulfillment on yourself.

This is similar to how electricity passes through resistance: if the resistance is great, then the electricity passing through it generates more power. The greater the resistance, the greater the voltage. This tension is the pleasure that you feel.

Question: But is it not painful?

Answer: It is a delight!

Question: Is there really a transition to love beyond the egoistic hatred of one person for another?

Answer: Yes, the minus changes to a plus, and instead of hatred, there is huge love, and instead of rejection, there is pleasure.

In the spiritual world, dressing a person in the upper light is called beauty. This is a feeling of harmony and absolute perfection; it is when all opposites add up to one harmonious whole, and when absolutely all contradictory qualities, actions, thoughts, and desires are balanced and come into agreement.

In nature, there are only two opposite qualities—receiving and bestowing, the Creator and creation. When these two opposite qualities come together, the light of Hochma manifests itself in the light of Hassadim, the light of reception in the light of bestowal. This manifestation is called beauty.

It is cardinal, primary, and fundamental; it is where all our ideas about beauty come from.

Question: What is ugliness?

Answer: When two seemingly opposite phenomena, properties, or actions (contradictory in relation to a person) cannot be combined with each other, then this is considered unacceptable, ugly, and imperfect for him.

That is, beauty is not in the appearance of a person, or a bird, or something else. This concept is abstract, and not some kind of appearance. Beauty can be inner beauty, beauty of thoughts, feelings, beauty not only of our world. It’s not just some flat image.

But even in a flat image you can find a standard of beauty. For example, a ratio such as in the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci. Or a ratio when the right and left sides of the face are absolutely clearly symmetrical to each other, and so on. They hint at the concepts that Kabbalah operates with, as an absolutely correct combination of right and left lines in the middle line.

Question: What is envy?

Answer: Envy is when you feel the other above yourself. When you depend on him, you envy him.

We look at everything from the point of view of Kabbalah where everything is measured in measures: Sefirot, degrees, Partzufim, and we proceed only from that. There is a small desire and a big one, one relative to the other. There is love, the conjugate state; hatred, the opposite state, and so on. Everything is very simple. In our world, however, everything is confusing.

The quality of envy is given to us in order to envy others and ascend through it. That is, envy is a very good quality. It must not be destroyed in any case! You have to envy good, great people, and then you will grow up too.

Everything that is in us comes from the Creator, so there is nothing wrong. Our most terrible qualities can be extrapolated and applied correctly.

Question: What is an enemy?

Answer: An enemy is any desire of mine that is directed not to the realization of my personality.

Comment: But there is always some kind of personalized enemy.

My Response: No, it only seems to us that the enemy is external. But all of it is in fact inside of us. We produce our external enemies, these “dolls” that hinder us from within with our personal faults.

All these “dolls” do not have freewill. I must stick to the fact that they are all my inner forces that are projected in my imagination outside of me.

If we were corrected, we would see the world the same way.
