Question: A person can feel his body when it hurts. What happens with the spiritual body?

Answer: Everything we feel in our world, we feel only from some kind of pain, limitation, pressure, and so on, even the most pleasant sensations. Feelings come from the sense of the boundary.

In the spiritual world, however, it is quite the opposite. I rise above the sensations of my body; for me this egoistic boundary does not exist.

As a result, I stop feeling my body and this world in general because I annul the egoistic boundary and rise above it into altruistic qualities. This world begins to gradually dissolve for me. I see it not as material, but as still depicted for me. But in the end it disappears completely.

I have no problem with this, let the imaginary world disappear.

The spiritual body is my qualities associated with others, that is, what I build on the basis of adhering and connecting with others. My spiritual qualities are where I can treat others the way that the Creator treats them.

In such cases, I am not limited as well. My spiritual body does not give me any problems.

Question: Can egoism temporarily take over a person who is not in attainment?

Answer: Yes, it can take over specifically in order to lower a person. The person’s job is to turn that egoism back into an ascent. Twenty kilograms of egoism were added to an individual, and now he must correct it by twenty kilograms of bestowal and love.

Why else would he get such an addition?

Question: What if he plunged into the ego very deeply?

Answer: Do not worry. The upper degree works in the same way as we teach a child to walk: we step back from him and wait for him to take a step toward us. This is the way the upper system works. We do not go far from the child, and this is what is done to us as well, although it seems to the person that he has been completely abandoned.

Question: When a person feels superior to everyone else and neglects them, can he unite with anyone?

Answer: If a person feels superior to others, he cannot be in a spiritual state. This contradicts the qualities of the upper world.

If the upper light influences him, he feels inferior to others, indebted to them, and treats them like a father would treat his son because the son is the central figure and the father takes care of him, and all the attention of the father is directed to him.

Question: You say that the whole development of the world unfolds in our egoistic desire. But if there is no time in spirituality, how did it happen here? In some short timeframe?

Answer: There is no time in spirituality. Development does not occur in parallel in two worlds: the spiritual and ours.

There is nothing at all in the spiritual world, not even the spiritual world itself. There is what you perceive. If perception occurs in egoistic desires, then you feel our world, and if in altruistic desires, for bestowal and love, the upper world.

There is neither our world nor the spiritual world at all. The upper world exists only relative to the perceiver if he perceives his similarity to the upper force, the upper light.

There is no Creator without creation. There is no time, there is no life if there is no one who would feel it as existing.

If the world is something that manifests itself in our sensations, then it exists only relative to us. It has no form outside of us.

We do not know the source of this force. The light descends on me. I can identify this source only to the extent that I am like the light. Then I can say that the source probably has the same quality.

It is impossible to understand. For that, you need to change yourself.

Question: It is interesting that nothing happens in the present. At least for us. Everything we see, hear, feel, and think is a product of the past.

Since it takes time for the light to reach us, everything we see is in the past. Let us say it takes light eight minutes to get from the Sun to the Earth, so it turns out that we live in a picture where nothing is happening in the present, but everything has happened already. Do you agree with this statement?

Answer: Of course, it is a physical law of many minutes a ray of light travels from the Sun to the Earth.

Question: It is said that the light from the nearest star travels for four years to reach us. So what we see has actually already happened. If we talk about spiritual states, then all states are also predetermined and are revealed only in relation to us?

Answer: There is no speed in the spiritual world. Therefore, all situations and events that were, are, and will be, occur within us. All of them already exist, they are only revealed in relation to a person.

Question: For example, some kind of war, which should take place in a year, already exists in the making?

Answer: It exists and can happen. But whether it will happen depends also on our actions.

Question: Why does time run faster with age? How does one explain this?

Answer: This is how it works. After all, it is all subjective and happens only relative to our feelings.

If we compare the life of a modern person, which lasts 70 to 80 years and a person who lived in the Middle Ages for only 30 to 35 years, then those 30 years would seem longer than 80 years for us because we have more opportunities to fill this time.

The construction of the Temple means that the people of Israel created a state between them in which the Creator, the force of bestowal and love, was revealed to them. People existed in the form of this force, and their states were not of this world, but were spiritual ones.

At the same time, a new, more internal, egoistic degree developed unrelated to them, so-called Lev HaEven (the stony heart), which could not be corrected at the moment; it applies to the whole world. Therefore, they began to fall apart; i.e., they could not stay at the level of relationships of mutual bestowal and love.

Thus, they fell from this level of communication and connection, from the level of similarity to the Creator, and from such a height and ideal to a state of relative disunity with each other, which is called the second exile, i.e., Babylonian exile. It is described in the Prophets, in the Scroll of Esther (Megillat Esther), and in other books.

The people of Israel lived in this state for 70 years. The numbers “4”or “400” and “7” or “70” are conventional units of ascents or descents, like time or distance. Everything clearly operates according to the original formula: the creation of desire (egoism) by the quality of bestowal and love, called light, according to the four phases of direct light. This formula comes from here, and then its work extends to everything.

So, when the Jews fell from the level of the First Temple, they were in danger of completely forgetting where they were and what was happening to them, which meant they could become like other nations.

But at this time, spontaneous combustion again occurred when the stormy egoistic figure of Haman appeared, who, like a pharaoh, aroused in them the awareness of their condition. They did a great job working together in order to rise above the level of Haman, to kill this egoism in themselves, and thus rise to the next level, called the Second Temple.

There was no longer such bestowal and love as at the First Temple. If previously the level of “Love your neighbor as yourself” prevailed, under the Second Temple, the level of connection between the people was at the level of “Do not do to the other what is hateful to you.” It is this connection that is called the Temple; it is not the remains of the ruins in Jerusalem.

Question: When one of your students drops out of the group, what does he lose?

Answer: The general system suffers, and he suffers. But what can he do? Nothing. Like a child, you give him all the time, show him everything, teach him, and instruct him, but the time comes when he must take independent steps, and if he does not do them or does them wrong, then he must understand that he has already passed his childhood and youth and has grown up, that he has reached maturity and must now advance by himself.

At this stage he must be left alone; he will either advance on his own or not. In principle there is a group and an environment, and, as we know from articles about freewill and the environment, he must already behave consciously, independently, together with the rest, and try to create completely new states, both his own and others’.

Question: Should we leave a person to the mercy of fate? Where is the guideline here so that there is neither negative nor positive pressure on him?

Answer: If he comes to study in our group, then everything else depends on him.

Somehow he was sent from above, he found himself here; all possibilities are open before him—lessons, meetings, meals, and external events. Everything is there to come, study, and join in any activities of the group.

He must become included. There are people who are more sociable or less sociable; this is understandable. But all the same, he was given the importance of the goal and the opportunity to be a friend to all the other hundreds of people who are engaged in spiritual correction. He was brought here, and then he must act on his own.

Comment: According to Kabbalah, time is the distance between cause and effect. The cause is man’s desire to enjoy. Without it, I do not perform any action. The effect is a direct filling, that is, reception.

After I perform some action and wait until I receive pleasure, a phenomenon called time appears. If my action brought me momentary pleasure, then there would be no time.

Even in our world there are such states. For example, in childhood when a child is playing soccer, time does not exist for him because at that moment he is enjoying it. If I go to work, earn some money, and wait until I get it and enjoy myself as a result, then time stretches.

My Response: Yes. Time is a purely psychological concept, and it does not exist as such.

The fact that we see all kinds of movement around us in nature and measure time by it has nothing to do with time. It has to do with movement. Movement or time are things that are not connected with each other. This is a special merit of Einstein that he demonstrated this to everyone.

Comment: During a lesson you said that it is wonderful when you do not have calculations with yourself.

My Response: Calculations should be only in relation to the group and in relation to humanity. What calculations can there be with yourself? This is included in the same system of deception, as if I exist, but no one exists except the Creator.

We create one single common Kli, Malchut, which must feel Him. Therefore, I have no personality. I am only an auxiliary element serving the global soul.

Question: A person does everything based on what is beneficial to him: “This is beneficial to me, and this is not.” Does a Kabbalist do the opposite: “How wonderful that I am not doing this for my own sake”?

Answer: Of course, a Kabbalist rejoices that he does everything for the sake of the Creator. Therefore, it is very important to tune ourselves up here. If your friends around you will think like that and go forward like that, what can be better than this?!

We must try to methodically, calmly, and gradually tune ourselves like an instrument. Months pass, maybe even several years, but all this time you should be making attempts to attune yourself.

Imagine that you are standing at a crossroads: If you go left, it is for your own sake, and if you go right, it is for the sake of the Creator. How can you choose the correct intention in order to go in the direction of bestowal?

We must yearn for bestowal and try to reach it by all means. Then the Creator will always correct us and teach us how to do it. The main thing is to act together with the friends and look for forms of connection between us that will give us a feeling of coming closer to the Creator.

Let’s create such a unity in which our inner connection will be able to reveal the form of the Creator, His quality, and His character to us. The more we move in this direction day by day, the better we will begin to understand who the Creator is and who we are, what distance separates us, and what we need to do in order to come a little closer to Him.

Every day, every moment when we yearn to connect, we must check whether the form of our connection is becoming more and more true, in mutual bestowal to each other. This is the very first exercise that The Zohar gives us: to connect in a ten and reach such mutual bestowal and mutual connection that approaches the form of the Shechinah.

This does not mean physical distance, but rather a feeling of inner, spiritual closeness.

But we are not required to reach this correct intention ourselves; the main thing is to search for it. The most important thing is the search, the questions, the inner regret that we are not able to come to it. From this, a prayer will be born that will help us reach the desired goal.

The Creator must arrange the desire for us, and He also arranges its fulfillment, the answer to it. We just need to be searching.
