“The whole earth is full of the glory of the Creator” is the very first, obligatory, and unchangeable law, which says that the Creator fills the whole world, moves and controls everything. Only one force operates in all of reality, and there is nothing else besides it.

We need to take this statement as an axiom and as a primary law that is revealed to us gradually, step by step. As we establish connection with spiritual nature, we reveal this truth that the earth is full of His glory.

From the very beginning we need to attune ourselves to the fact that we are striving to reveal this law. All the events of our life have only one cause; everything that happens to us at every second is arranged by the Creator, and there is none else besides Him.

It is said that “the earth is full of His glory,” because earth (Eretz) means desire (Ratzon). The Creator creates this desire and renews it day by day, every moment. Therefore we see nothing but the actions of the Creator.

If we have thoughts that someone else is doing something other than the Creator, then this is wrong. He alone has done, is doing, and will do all the actions that occur in our lives. Therefore, this condition, this law, this principle, must enter into our lives in all possible situations so that we do not see or feel anything except the Creator.

All our desires are full of the presence of the Creator in all possible forms, and in essence, we feel only Him. There is no one else who can fulfill our desires. We cannot even doubt for a second that we have received something not from the Creator because this simply cannot be.

We are inside the Creator and we reveal only Him. There is none else; only one Creator Himself fills the whole world. When we discover this fully, it is called the complete faith of a person in his Creator.

Question: How can you explain the birth of the next degree?

Answer: The birth of the next degree is a continuation of the relationship between the male and female parts on the next level. Moreover, this level is usually higher.

A child is born from a man and a woman. But his basis is the next state.

The spiritual man and woman or a man and woman in our world are just the external reason that a child is born. Suppose a child is to be born, so a couple appears who have a craving for each other, they unite and conceive him because a certain number of souls in their bodily expression must be born in our world.

They themselves do not know why they suddenly start flirting with each other, start some kind of relationship. A desire is aroused in them when it is necessary to give birth to someone from within, from nature itself. Are we doing something on our own? Although it seems to us that these are our personal desires, they in fact come from the need to develop a common system.

We are inside this field like peas. What needs to be realized is aroused in us, and we involuntarily realize it, and we can realize not involuntarily, but based on our attainment. Kabbalah leads to this.

Question: What is memory?

Answer: Memory is a past state that I can retrieve and experience as real. Actually, there is no such thing as memory. It is just that all my states are stored within me as past Partzufim, and I can transition from one state to another. I can travel between them as if in time. In spirituality, it is absolutely real.

Question: What is the purpose of this time travel? What can it give?

Answer: Nothing, very little. As a rule, one should strive forward and not look back.

Question: Is it possible to travel forward in time?

Answer: No, because for that you have to ascend to future states and to reach them. We can only aspire for the next step and no more than that. And what awaits ahead you cannot see because these states have not yet been realized in you. It is all pure physics. There is no mysticism here.

There are people who feel the future in our world. There are famous examples of this: Wolf Messing, baba Vanga, and Nostradamus. Moreover, they did not necessarily have to be in spiritual attainment. They knew nothing about the spiritual world; they simply relied on their sensations.

Wolf Messing said that he himself did not know where he got such abilities. He would suddenly enter states where he felt the future, present, or the past because they all exist.

But when we talk about the spiritual, then there is already freedom of will. Therefore, future spiritual states, in principle, can be seen. But how you will approach them: either through suffering or through light, your efforts, it is unknown, it depends on you. This is what absolute freedom of will which must be realized by you consists of.

Question: What is the difference between intellect and mind?

Answer: Intellect and mind are to some extent synonyms because both mean the ability to think logically.

Of course, there is a very large share of heredity in the genetic spiritual Reshimot and our natural data, but, in general, it can be developed, because mind and intellect develop along with desires.

The mind of a Kabbalist, just like the mind of an ordinary person, is just a servant of his desires. Desire is matter. First a desire appears and everything else is an accomplice to achieving the desired.

Question: Why are the phenomena that are called “spiritual advancement” composed of opposite things? How can this be logical in the perception of a Kabbalist when it is completely incompatible for an ordinary person?

Answer: It is because an ordinary person has a small animalistic mind. He exists only in it and sees only those events that his animalistic state observes and nothing else. A Kabbalist, however, develops an additional vision, sensation, and additional Kelim, desires internally.

Our animalistic desires give us bodily sensations of our world. But by studying Kabbalah and being integrated with the group, with the friends, we develop external desires in ourselves and begin to feel everything in them outside of ourselves. It turns out that I feel the friends as myself.

Naturally, this happens gradually, from a small percentage to a large one. There are 125 degrees in feeling the friends. But when we exit ourselves in this way, we begin to feel the upper world. There are completely different laws in it, inverse to our world, the laws of bestowal. So, it is said: “I saw the reverse world.”

Comment: You said that you do not use your mind, but you connect to a certain spiritual degree and then you can feel it.

My Response: No, it is not that I exist without a mind, but simply in order to attain a higher degree, I annul my mind and connect to the mind of that degree. Of course, I have a mind. It was given to me in order to annul it and acquire a higher mind instead of it.

Moreover, this is not meditation or Yoga exercises; it is a person’s inner work. The next degree is always a greater connection with the souls outside of you, with the desires of the group, with the desires of the environment that also aspires to reveal the upper world, the Creator.

Hence, if I make efforts and try to connect to my students, it doesn’t even matter what world I am in, whether I am alive or have already died, since the body does not have any significance at all; then, by acquiring a greater connection with them, I acquire the ability to ascend to the next degree, to be incorporated in it.

This pressure and effort to attain the higher degree is based on my annulling my mind and wishing to be included in the upper mind. That is exactly how one acquires it.

Our whole path to the Final Correction (Gmar Tikkun) is called the path of correction. We are getting corrected like you get your car fixed by a mechanic. It will be fixed for you, and then you go somewhere in it. And where we will go next, we do not know.

Attainment of the Creator, becoming equal to Him, is the first stage of our vast, long existence. This attainment is endless! Where to and how onward is unclear. Are there concepts of time and causal movement? After all, this is a completely different mind.

Even in the spiritual world we are talking about, material concepts no longer exist. Still we can talk about it because our and the upper world are connected to each other. And that one is even higher, through the spiritual world. That is why we can’t imagine it.

But don’t worry. Whether we want to or not, we’re going to get there anyway. So, this is the end of all of humanity, but a happy ending.

Question: Then as partners of the Creator will we move together with Him to another degree?

Answer: Yes. We are already together, as equal partners, we will go somewhere further. The Creator wants us to become absolutely equal with Him on the way to that degree. Therefore, He leads us through the path of shattering and correcting; it is the same as when you break something in order to understand how it is made, and then gradually assemble it. And then you already know everything: both its purpose and its work. That is what we are doing now.

Comment: It often happens in life that until a person becomes a professional, he studies and absorbs information. Afterward, when he reaches the professional level, he no longer wants to hear anything and becomes dead, closed.

My Response: But this is natural! Egoism induces him to protect what is his own.

Question: Does this kind of development happen in Kabbalah where a person reaches a peak and does not want to perceive others? He is told, “You should do it this way.” And he responds, “Don’t tell me what to do, I know what I’m doing.”

Answer: That means he is not a Kabbalist. On the contrary, it is written about a Kabbalist, “I learned from the sages, I learned from my teachers, but I learned even more from my students.”

I have admitted on numerous occasions that when listening to my students, I became jealous of how well they are able to speak. This is very serious because every person expresses himself from the root of his soul. There are no identical impressions or opinions. By becoming incorporated in my students, through them I feel the upper world and receive enormous additions by that.

And generally speaking, I envy the way they develop, how quickly it all happens in our time! This is a good envy because a person never envies his student or son maliciously. I continue to give them everything I can.

It is only in the egoistic conditions of our world that scientists try not to reveal their secrets. But here, it is the opposite! How else can it be? After all, you are opening up the path to the Creator and revealing Him more and more. Here, one thing does not happen at the expense of another. On the contrary, they supplement each other!

Question: Have you ever had times when you felt that you are becoming closed off, that no information comes out of you?

Answer: Only when I am ill, I sometimes disconnect for a day or two. But otherwise, no.

Sometimes there are states when a fog descends upon the group, so to say, but it is constructive; in reality, it builds. To me, any state is progress forward, just like in all of nature.

Comment: There is a certain contradiction in the explanation of Kabbalah and in its implementation. Let us say that when there is an explanation of Kabbalah, everything seems to sound fine. And when it comes to some processes, I have seen people react and say: “We respect Michael Laitman a lot, but we cannot see what’s happening on the screen.” It’s like people go into a trance.

My Response: What can you do? If you look at Hasidism, at Christianity, at Islam, or any other customs and techniques of meditation, you can see the same thing. A person falls into a trance, enters some kind of sensory state and stays in it.

But there is very little of this in Kabbalah. In Kabbalah, all this is clearly controlled. Each step-by-step state is described discretely, with informational data, the so-called Reshimot, with the transformation of analog sensations into digital ones, in the form of a clear determination of the weighting of states such as Partzufim, that is, steps. Kabbalah describes feelings in physical terms, because they cannot be described by anything else.

For a person who does not yet understand us, it is not clear what Kabbalah deals with: feelings or science? And Kabbalah is the science of feelings.

Kabbalah is the natural state of a person when he enters into an ever greater sense of his nature and the nature of the surrounding society, and discovers between himself and society some kind of force that changes him all the time.

Question: Why are man and woman very close to the concepts of Creator and creation?

Answer: The fact is, the desire to receive is the female part, i.e., the whole creation, and the desire to give is the male part, the Creator. This is how it is realized in every part of nature and in our world at all levels: still, vegetative, animate, and human.

Question: Is there an ideal relationship between a man and a woman?

Answer: Only if they achieve correction. There is no other way.

Comment: But they are completely different!

My Response: When they reach correction, they become the same. In our world, this is realized if a man and a woman strive for their correction together—for unity with the Creator.

When they set the task of the Creator to be between them, meaning, if the main thing in their relationship is bestowal and love, and mutual communication with each other to eventually become like the Creator and not just satisfy each other, then they spiritually rise very strongly, quickly, and effectively.

Question: Does their spiritual connection erase the boundary between the feminine and masculine?

Answer: No, it does not erase it, on the contrary, it makes the borders more convex. Their relations outwardly resemble spiritual ones when one from the male side and the other from the female side rush to each other in bestowal, love, and complement each other.
