In the material world we are inside a cocoon we have created. Our whole life today passes like in a science fiction movie in which astronauts are put to sleep to be sent to distant stars.

So, we feel ourselves sleeping in this life and acting automatically. The only thing that is turned on in us is a searchlight that directs us to the goal.

This is what we live for.

If a person is set on revealing the upper world and he has a special unearthly goal, it should captivate him. He should feel as if he is flying in a spaceship, feel like he is passing thousands of parsecs of distances every day, and live in accordance with this.

And the rest of life is just a necessary escort. Earth, space, and our world is like a spaceship, a kind of a capsule.

Actually, the Earth is quite small. It is just the way we look at it. If you go to another dimension and look at our world, then it is one small black point relative to the next, upper world. We gradually begin to understand this and together with this point, without leaving it, we rise to the next dimension, to the next world.

Question: Do you have states that do not allow you to mentally break away from the corporeal level?

Answer: No, unless there is a wish from above to confuse me in something. Then all of a sudden, I receive some thoughts, all kinds of worries about loved ones or something else. This shows me that here I have not yet finished my work, here I have not yet pulled myself up, and so on.

Question: How do you handle this?

Answer: Let’s say you’re sitting in my class, and a couple of hundred other people are sitting beside us. Together we study the methods of elevating a person, his correction, the problems of our world regarding the next degree, how we should perform some actions, and so on, and suddenly you have some thoughts about your loved ones or distant ones, or about your debts in the bank; it doesn’t matter what or how.

You must understand that all this is in order to sharpen your studies now so that you are more clearly connected with them, that it is in the form in which all these disturbances are being sent to you now that you must strengthen your ties with the upper world.

This is how it will be all the time. That is, as soon as you wake up in the morning and establish a connection with the source in the first second, from this minute onward you should only develop your connection with Him and see all the disturbances as means of strengthening the connection. This is how we need to tune in and look at the disturbances!

Otherwise, you will remain a small child, you will remain in a bad connection with the Creator, with the upper force! You must advance with the help of these disturbances and rise above them! In any case, do not annul them or throw them away! Of course, it is a whole science of how to use disturbances, but that is what they exist for.

Thus, if you can hold out like this for at least a few hours every day, I guarantee you, in a week I will already be talking to an angel. 🙂

Comment: You have students who constantly sleep in class.

My Response: When I was studying with Rabash, we also had a student who worked very hard at a construction site and he fell asleep all the time in class. He was never late, he came at exactly three o’clock in the morning, sat down, and slept. This continued for seven or eight years until the death of our teacher. And Rabash didn’t say a word to him.

Question: If he was sleeping, then nothing happened to him?

Answer: No, it happened because he made his efforts—he came!

By the way, he was a hard worker by his physical constitution. It was hard for him to work internally, with his head. He did not understand anything either in studies or in spiritual work, but he had a desire, he wanted, and no one had any complaints about him. He was in everything with us.

Kabbalists do not enter into a trance like psychics and do not delve into themselves in some kind of ecstasy, like other sorts of mystics from ancient times to our time.

Since they have a screen, they consciously, with reason, with feeling, they clearly and calmly exist not only in the external layer of information and forces, but also in the inner one where all events are organized and decisions are made because in their movement they walk the middle line.

The right and left lines are bestowing and receiving, but they are always in the middle line, like at the equilibrium point of the arm of scales, which is why it is called the tongue of the scales. Being constantly in the middle line, Kabbalists always make precise calculations so that the measure of their attainment and the screen are balanced all the time.

Their advancement lies in the fact that, just as egoism is constantly increasing, the screen must also increase. In this way, they move as if on two legs.

Therefore, they have clear and controlled movement. We know that when a tunnel is being built, a shield moves ahead, cuts off the layers of soil, one by one, throws them out, and goes forward. Similarly, so do the Kabbalists.

When we reprogram ourselves from reception to bestowal, a completely new system is built. We begin to take into account others: their desires, intentions, and thoughts. They become more important to you than yourself because they are an object that you want to fill, and you view yourself as only an instrument of filling them.

At the same time, you must reach a state where you enjoy filling them, and doing it above the huge egoism and hatred that is revealed between you; meaning, you build love over hate.

And all this should happen consciously, actually, when you are making great efforts to change yourself internally, to create completely different values in yourself, the values of bestowal and love, specifically above hatred.

As a rule, you are indifferent to our world and you find it disgusting. There are several people for whom you have a heartfelt feeling and there are several others for whom you have a pleasant feeling, only because you use them for your egoism. And your attitude to everyone else is as follows, from indifference to neglect and petty, everyday hatred of our world.

When you are engaged in spiritual transformation, you will not feel your neighbor as a loved one. No! You will constantly reveal that this is your hater and always have to build a connection above the degrees of hatred and rejection. 125 degrees is the thickness of your egoism, which will grow all the time, and over them you need to constantly create absolutely complete connection and love.

Love is when all the desires and aspirations of a neighbor, everything that he wants, you supply to him with all your heart, despite the disgusting attitude burning in you toward him. In our world, these are incredible opportunities that a person must find and begin to display toward others.

There is no true reality. We have to create it ourselves.

The moment you create the quality of bestowal in yourself, you build this reality within it—you and the Creator! When we say “There is none else besides Him,” we mean there is nothing but this quality or your ability to create a higher state.

Question: How is it that the darkness we exist in has so many huge objects placed in it?

Answer: What huge objects?! It is all such minutiae that it is not even noticeable. None of this exists! This is all fluctuations in our unconscious state.

Comment: But for a person, it is quite sizable!

My Response: It happens because you zoom in on it, so you get such volume. Bring it to its normal, objective boundaries, and you will find there is nothing at all, everything disappears.

It depends on the qualities you look at this world with: either from the standpoint of receiving or the standpoint of giving.

From the standpoint of bestowal, our world does not exist because it does not have this quality. From the standpoint of receiving, it exists at such a low level that it is called merely a point of our world.

Question: What happens to people who leave the Kabbalistic group? Do they disconnect somehow, or do they stay in the system internally?

Answer: Among those who left are people who practically forget about this period of life. After all, the main thing is what a person lives for, and whether one is yearning for the world of bestowal, the upper world, or not.

When people lose this desire they return to the usual corporeal system of values and exist normally, and they have nothing else. Subconsciously, somewhere deep down behind the cerebellum with some kind of posterior brain, they understand that there is something else, but they suppress it in themselves: “Perhaps someday….”

Or life no longer seems so flat to them when a person, like a moth, flies and wants only to bask in its rays. They already feel that there is another world and another life because the illumination remains.

I think that when they leave us they do not have absolute complete joy in this world. Who has it at all today? The feeling that there is something else higher constantly gnaws at a person, but it is hard to reach: “I will leave it for later.”

What can you do? This is not a simple thing. I speak as a person who has been in Kabbalah since 1975. Those who really stay are, of course, heroes. The main part of the world group are people who came to us at the turn of the century.

Question: If the desire is taken away from a person who is engaged in spiritual advancement and he is not even able to move a finger, how can he keep on moving without this desire?

Answer: These are just metamorphoses that we have to go through. First of all, you have to connect with the group and with the study, and you will find that you have to form a new desire. You change not the desire itself, but the intention. That is, the motivation disappears, for the sake of what to move.

Previously you moved for yourself, you realized that you have to do millions of things in the world and thus fill yourself until you begin to realize that you are made of desire and fulfillment, and your mind exists only to help you fill yourself.

Man is a very simple machine, a kind of box that wants to fill itself. It has arms, legs, a head, tongue, eyes, and ears. This robot is looking for a way to fill itself each moment to the maximum while spending the least effort to do that. Optimal filling in accordance with emerging internal needs—this is us, very primitive, very simple.

Now there is a reprogramming of this box with arms and legs. A person must perform it himself, understand what he is doing, realize, and agree with this: How should I now reprogram myself so that my filling is the filling of others?

Question: Can you describe by your example how I can see certain qualities in you?

Answer: Regarding you, I am a part of you. You just have to correct yourself to such an extent that you can put this part into yourself. That is all.

Question: But how can I feel your qualities correctly?

Answer: You cannot feel me correctly because you do feel not me, but the egoism that supposedly is between you and me. You feel only the egoism that is separating us, and you see it.

The wisdom of Kabbalah says that you must rise above your egoism, and then you will begin to feel the other as yourself. You will see that apparently, he is connected to you, he is your integral part. To do this, you just need to rise above your egoism regarding the other and annul your ego.

Comment: In Kabbalah, unlike other methods, a person is constantly given a choice. In other places, he gets into an environment that suppresses him. And here he is free to leave even after five years.

My Response: In the process of practicing Kabbalah, a person is always thrown out of its study, and he must strengthen himself again and look for the goal every minute.

It constantly disappears because every minute for him is a point in the path that does not have its own direction, and he must look for a vector again at every step so as not to turn in the other direction. In order to always move in a straight line, he needs to find a direction at each point of it.

He builds his own way. There is no ready way at all! As in outer space, whether you are there upside down, horizontally, or vertically, it doesn’t matter how, you don’t have any landmarks, you have to check and choose them yourself every time. And every minute! You can’t get a foothold, take some corner, and walk along it. There is nothing to measure from!
