Question: If a person watches our lessons online and suddenly decides to try working in a group, how harmful can this be for him or for the group?

Answer: If he has the right desire, he can gradually blend into the group. We are talking about people who for many years either study or don’t. We don’t put much pressure on them. But a person must understand that he can “roast” for many years, like meat in a brazier.

If we put the meat on a small fire, then it will not fry, but will remain warm and raw until it spoils. Therefore, for frying, we must set it to a certain temperature, for a certain time, it must go through some kind of change that will transform it to another state. Otherwise, you leave it in its former state, and add extra energy that is completely unnecessary to it.

The same thing happens with a person who comes to a group and starts exercising once a week. He seems to be getting smarter, he seems to understand and philosophize more: here, they say, I’m already such and such, and besides, I’m a Kabbalist.

Comment: Suppose a person comes across Kabbalah for the first time and immediately wants to enter this system.

My Response: We have special courses for this. Along with that, he can watch our lessons. We do not close ourselves off from anyone or anything, but we are against immediate entry into the group. It is necessary that a person still go through the steps of development.

Question: Where is the line between justifying the Creator and disagreeing with Him?

Answer: You do not agree with Him in your egoism, but in your qualities of bestowal and love you are similar to Him.

There is a law of nature: to the extent that you are different from the Creator, you feel all kinds of concealments, fog, distance, misunderstanding, and rejection. You carry out the concealment yourself with your qualities.

Moreover, the concealment corresponds to the extent of your development. It is just like with a child, he is not given a more difficult task than one he can solve. For example, we buy a one-year-old child a toy that says: “Age: one year” on the package.

It is the same case here. Everything is perfectly clear, and in accordance with the mentality, development, and mood with what happens to everyone. This is a huge system that is constantly moving and adjusting all its parts to the final stage—to complete connection.

A person should understand that at every minute of time he is in the best condition to choose the right path. Not otherwise!

Question: Where should the disagreement be, with how I perceive it?

Answer: Of course! You have to change yourself a little. First of all, you must realize that everything comes from the Creator, from the absolute good, and that now you perceive it differently—in quantity, in quality, in any form—only because your personal uncorrected qualities distort everything. But these are the uncorrected qualities, which at the current moment, you can already correct.

Question: To what extent is it welcomed in Kabbalah for friends as a whole to discuss among themselves common actions that should be performed on the spiritual path?

Answer: We discuss these issues in workshops. Workshops are a laboratory in which we polish our mutual relations between us on the spiritual path of development. Here we think like researchers who experience everything through their own experiments.

Many scientists often tested all kinds of drugs and preparations, and recorded the results of their experiments. This is especially true in the study of human conditions. For example, in astronautics, various studies are conducted on thousands of people: overload, weightlessness, isolation, and so on. And we have the same thing.

But, we have another problem. We go through it on our own, and then we share our experience with each other. All Kabbalistic books are written based on the experience of those people who have traversed the spiritual path. And we draw this methodology from books that explains how Kabbalists go through everything themselves, what to do at that time, how to behave, and how to lead others.

Question: We often listen to the teacher and think that the perception of his words occurs through the eardrum. How can we perceive it not through the vibration of the air? You said that in Kabbalah to listen to a teacher is a big job.

Answer: Of course. It is necessary to hear through the equivalence of qualities, through aspiration to the teacher, through the state when you try to “get into” him and fully adapt to him.

In our world, it is also desirable to understand and feel an ordinary school teacher, and to connect with him if he really wants to pass on his knowledge and his approach to you. After all, this is not just knowledge from a book; rather, he wants to convey his view to you, his philosophy. Then it is very important for you to be closer to him.

This is the difference between dead Western science and the sciences that were taught in the East, in Tibet and in China, no matter where. This is a completely different school. There, the attitude to the teacher was like to dervishes, Sufis, and rabbis, like to spiritual teachers.

In the West, you did not have to enter into a special internal contact with the teacher, everything there was aimed not at becoming closer, but at individualism. But in the East, on the contrary, the connection was the main thing, and students always coexisted with the teacher.

It was an entire system, although nowadays we have moved away from it and all this no longer has any original forms.

Where are all these correct relationships that Abraham once passed on to his disciples and sent them to the East? Then all these teachings passed from Ancient Babylon to the East, each in accordance with its tribes, its peoples, and gradually developed into Tibetan, Indian, Muslim, and so on. But today this no longer takes place on Earth.

Question: During pregnancy, there are two periods that threaten miscarriage. As a rule, it is the initial stage, and the next one is closer to the birth itself.

Is there a similar situation in Kabbalah? One when a person comes, and after a while his initial desire, the fuel of which he used to run disappears? Is this similar to the first threat? Also, when a person is already approaching the entrance to spirituality and he suddenly just leaves?

Answer: Indeed, these stages on the spiritual path can be compared to periods of threatened miscarriage. At the beginning of the path when a person advances, there is of course such a threat. But I would not say that it really depends on him. And later, when he is already advancing toward spiritual birth, such a threat exists there as well.

But, in general, during all births, there is also a lot of tension from the entire nine months. The very first stage of spiritual development is very difficult because it is a period of self-annulment, of annulling one’s “I.”

Question: It turns out that the fetus has no options to stay inside the mother, right? Anyway, one way or another, he has to be born; he cannot stay inside her.

Answer: Definitely, there is no getting away from it.

There is no way we can avoid this path. Of course, there may be an injury or some kind of unfortunate incident, and then it can happen again and again. But a person has nowhere to go, and he will still be forced to enter his birthing journey and be born. All the same, he has to place himself under the influence of upper forces.

Question: Why do we have to thank the Creator for obstacles?

Answer: Because if He does not renew His contact with you, then there is no way you will be able to renew it. It is either the Creator will renew it directly with the first thought from above or He will do it through someone.

Therefore, first of all, you should turn on our TV channel or our website—this should work automatically—and no other sources of reception!

In the evening I can listen to the news or even watch a documentary if it is really interesting, and that is it. After that, when I get up in the morning, only Kabbalah!

I get up 1.5 or 2 hours prior to the lesson, not a word from anyone, I only tune into the connection with the Creator! Then this entire world is clearly sensed as His conduit. How can it be different?!

Otherwise, the whole day is gone in vain. Not only in vain, but it goes into negative! And I will have to correct it because I strengthened my connection with the Creator through Klipot (impure forces)—through the incorrect system.

If I spend my day as if I do not have contact with the Creator and do not use this entire world in order to get connected with Him even more, to rise above all obstacles that He puts here for me, like on the theater stage, but rather perceive this world as truly existing, then I empower the so-called impure forces instead of connecting with that single force that determines, rules, and spins everything. Thus, I distance myself from contact with Him.

Comment: On the spiritual path we are constantly shown various flaws, but we must always justify them.

My Response: You cannot just justify them verbally. You must rise above them and break away from them.

It all depends on correction. Correction means distancing from old egoistic desires. But you do not break away from them physically as if breaking connection with them. You distance yourself from them to the extent that you feel their flaw, and then you do not use them. You cannot touch them.

On the other hand, you are tempted in more and more ways to be selfish. Depending on this, if you are in a group, you have the opportunity to attract more and more upper light to yourself.

The stronger your desires are, the more you need the group to attract more upper light and break away from these desires. Then separating from them will not be painful like an amputation without anesthesia. In this case, you will be able to turn to Him as a strong individual and correct them from the outside, and once corrected, attract them and use them in yourself. This is already a high-level correction, receiving for the sake of giving.

In general, it is normal for us to receive for the sake of receiving. Then you make a restriction on it and do not use it. Afterward, you apply it only for the sake of bestowal, above it. And later, you use it for the sake of receiving in order to give to everyone else by passing it through yourself.

Thus, you go through the same four stages leading to the fifth where you completely merge with the whole universe.

Comment: Once you tried to make an example of one student to others. That student immediately began to justify himself, and you tried to explain to him that he needed to accept it.

My Response: Every person should look for a wide variety of qualities in himself. I need to point at someone, and maybe even jokingly take them aside for people to see. How else can I convey an impression or some kind of tip for a person to himself?

Comment: It often happens that you talk in general about the state of the group, but sometimes you get personal.

My Response: So what? Let everyone learn! Why should we be ashamed of each other?! What can I be embarrassed about?! In our world, I go to the doctor, tell him everything, and he takes tests from me; there is nothing to be ashamed of, not the animal body that I do not associate myself with. I tell him that I have such-and-such pressure, such-and-such blood, and so on.

But when we turn to sensual things, I feel embarrassed when I tell the doctor that I have such-and-such feelings and such-and-such drives. Why?! After all, this is also our natural, inner animal body.

When I talk about the spiritual, here I am no longer “I.” I am working on what I have received from the Creator.

In an animal body, I have nothing to work on; I follow a diet, exercise, go to the doctor, and that’s it. And in my inner spiritual body, I am in a state where I can really work on myself. This should be studied.

And all this work on myself is also not personally mine! It is absolutely the same for everyone! Everyone follows the same path if they try to work on themselves! Everyone has the same failures and the same problems!

Look at how the book Shamati or other articles and messages are written. They are written for everyone! Whether it may be an Indian, Turk or Frenchman, young or old, man or woman, it does not matter at all! There are almost the same paths for everyone. What is there to be ashamed of?!

There is one soul for everyone. Why can’t I talk about it out loud and everywhere, especially when everything depends on it?! We are adults! What can a person be ashamed of?! Today came, tomorrow left. Where is he? What is he? He doesn’t know anything. Look at the stupid things he does while he exists in this world.

So how can I not talk about everything as openly as possible, just to be understood?! Only small children are shy because they identify themselves with their body: “My body is me.” And a truly adult person is not shy.

Kabbalah says: “Stop being shy; go to the one who created you.” That is all. Turn to the one who created you.

You can only be ashamed of one thing, if you had the opportunity to make some kind of correction, to do good in the world, and you didn’t do it. Be ashamed about this! Nothing else depends on you.

Comment: You say that there are no regional borders in spirituality, that people in different countries go through the same states.

My Response: What does it matter who a person is: man, woman, what race, nationality, etc.? This all applies to physical bodies, whereas in regard to the spiritual world, who are we? What does the outer shell have to do with it? It does not exist at all, except in our animal senses.

Whoever stops at that cannot move forward at all.

Question: Do people in America and in China go through the same internal states?

Answer: Absolutely! Of course! What difference does it make where they are physically?

Question: You once said that those who isolate themselves from others with their pride, thereby bury themselves in a way. Is this their problem?

Answer: Naturally this is their problem. They have to annul themselves a lot more than everyone else.

Question: When you say that we are in such and such a state, are you describing the individual’s state or the state of the group? According to the perception of reality, what you see is whatever is happening inside you?

Answer: Of course I speak based on my condition. Everything is revealed only in relation to the one who attains. The attainer in this case is me, and I express my opinion. Only my opinion is more important than the opinion of others because they comprehend less; that is, they are more dependent, and fall more under their various calculations.

Comment: Everyone has their own understanding of correct connection, and no matter how much you explain, it still vanishes like water into sand.

My Response: This is because sand is our egoism, which will never be filled with water. Sand is made of silicon, it does not absorb water, but only allows it to pass through.

We can only rise above egoism; otherwise, we will not be able to do anything. No wonder they say, “as hard as silicon.” We must rise above the ego and turn its qualities into kindness, gentleness, and love.

Comment: You always say: “We need to unite! We have no connection!”

My Response: Because it really doesn’t exist yet.

Full connection will happen only in the world of infinity, beyond the 125^th degree. I am not talking about that.

I am talking at least about the fact that we should begin to unite at a degree at which we will become one single healthy spiritual organism. It will be able to absorb everyone else into ourselves and begin to grow together with everyone; it will become the embryo of a new world, around which and to which all the other parts are connected, and will form one single whole, one single body.
