Question: What is the system of impure forces?

Answer: By impure forces we mean those desires that push us to receive, not to bestow. Since they are opposite to the Creator, we speak of them as impure forces.

Question: Is our whole world in the system of impure forces? After all, we only have the desire to receive for ourselves.

Answer: Of course. Holiness is the desire to receive for the sake of the Creator, and impure forces are the desire to receive for one’s own sake.

Question: Some researchers studied harmony and interviewed a large number of people. The interviewees were instructed to close their your eyes and imagine their ideal harmonious picture. People reported various images. Some imagined themselves in silence in nature. Others pictured themselves at home with loved ones in a calm environment. And others on a trip with others.

Do you think it is possible to imagine a harmonious state by closing your eyes?

Answer: Yes. Let’s say under a blanket. It is warm, good, and quiet. For me this is harmony.

Question: Is this really harmony?

Answer: Do you mean harmony in the individual sense of the word or in the global sense?

Question: So far in the individual sense when a person, at some certain moment can reach a state of equilibrium. Is it possible to imagine?

Answer: Yes. Nothing bothers you, nothing presses you, and you do not want anything. You just enjoy the fact that you are in warmth, silence, and comfort.

Question: Does such a restriction of sensory organs as closing the eyes help in this?

Answer: Naturally. The closer you are to the intrauterine state, the more harmony you feel.

That is why, such simple things as a quiet pastime with your family or a quiet trip in nature when nothing annoys you, no one needs anything from you, and you do not need anything from anyone is the simplest element of harmony.

Question: Why is there such a difference between your spiritual education and the spiritual education of current students? Why did Rabash lay everything upon you?

Answer: It depends on the quality of the soul. There is nothing you can do here. There are some souls this is given to (even outside the group) because they have to fulfill a certain mission. I do not like to talk about this but it is so; it is granted, there are such people.

I cannot say they are better, worse, higher, or lower. Just as one person is born with some inclination toward art, another to science, a third for working with his hands, and so on, it is the same here. We do not get to choose anything here. It is about the quality of the soul.

Therefore, Rabash took me in and started educating me. What is the difference? If someone else were in my place, he would have done the same thing. Throughout all the years, until the end of his life, he constantly kept me by his side although I did not understand much regarding what or why in terms of what could have been understood and attained from it all! That is how it was arranged.

Question: How did this magnet work then since you did not understand much?

Answer: Precisely because I understood so little, he could invest so much in me. I could neither resist nor know while he was working on me. He constantly invested more and more in me, but I did not know about it. What manifests in me today is what he instilled in me.

Question: What does it mean if someone else were in your place?

Answer: What is the difference? Does it depend on my appearance? This relates to the energy states between souls. I turned out to be the charge he had to work on. And he did. So, now I am the charge that he created—I do it to others.

Patience is a tree whose root is bitter, but its fruit is very sweet (Proverb).

My Response: In general, yes.

Question: The question is if patience is the trunk of a tree, then what is it in a person’s life?

Answer: It is humility. In general, for an ordinary person, it is humility. For a Kabbalist, this is humility to a large extent! This is because he receives all sorts of internal pressures and pushes. The main thing for him is to bow his head.

Question: Does it mean to accept them? Is this called “humility”?

Answer: Yes, because they come from the Creator. He perceives correctly everything that comes to him, sorts it all out, determines that it comes from the Creator, and bows his head.

Question: What does humility mean for an ordinary person?

Answer: It is the same for an ordinary person. But he is not arranged to rise above this like a Kabbalist.

A Kabbalist rises above the blows in his humility. A simple person, however, just humbles himself in order to suffer less. What else can he do?

Question: Is his task to humble himself?

Answer: The task of any person is not just to humble oneself, but to come closer to the Creator. Humility leads to this.

Question: Another question is toward what should a person cultivate patience, and toward what should he be impatient?

Answer: Patience should be applied to almost everything except personal egoistic pressure. I would say so; he must be impatient with his egoism. For everything else, maximum patience.

Question: Does he have to be patient with other people?

Answer: In everything!

Question: And impatient with himself?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Why are the roots bitter in this case according to this proverb? Is this so from the point of view of Kabbalah?

Answer: The root is actually bitter, but the fruits are sweet.

Question: Why?

Answer: Because everything starts from the roots. Until you find out, see, get acquainted, take them on yourself, grow a trunk with them, and reach the fruit, until then of course, it is all bitter.

Comment: That is, the trunk grows from very bitter roots.

My Response: Yes, and the trunk itself is also not very pleasant.

Question: What is it when sweet grows out of bitter? Is this my attitude to what is happening to me?

Answer: No, this is the revelation of the purpose of creation, which gradually is manifested in such a sequential chain of events, when, in principle, everything is considered bitter. Like a baby who is born and cries, and then through his awareness, consent, support, justifying the Creator’s actions, coming closer, connecting, and adhering with the Creator comes to a sweet fruit.

Question: The conclusion, the quintessence of this proverb: what should a tree be and what does it represent according to Kabbalah?

Answer: A tree is a tree of life. This is where a person begins his journey on earth, and how he should finish it.

Question: Is a person personified with a tree?

Answer: Yes. A person is a tree that grows and develops with the help of all sorts of possibly bitter, unpleasant sensations, without knowing how or what. He is at the inanimate level, at the level of earth, and then gradually grows and gives birth to a fruit that already reaches its maturity.

This is very complicated, we usually study this in lessons on the holiday of New Year of the trees, Tu B’Shevat in Hebrew. This is when we study it all.

Question: What is a sweet fruit to which the tree, that is, a person, should come?

Answer: It represents the fruit of the Garden of Eden. Heaven is the revelation of the Creator.

Question: Does a person reach heaven?

Answer: Yes. When the Creator is revealed in some form before him, he already sees this field in which the Creator is revealed before him, and then the tree and its fruits.

Question: Is this when he kind of produces a fruit?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What is the fruit?

Answer: The fruit is the attainment of the upper wisdom, eternity, perfection and complete connection with the Creator.

Now we shall explain the matter of the origin of the soul. It has been said that it is a part of God above. We asked, “How and in what does the form of the soul differ from His simple light until it separates it from the Whole?” (Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Part 1, “Inner Observation,” Chapter 3, Item 15).

The soul is that part of the upper light that is in the desire of a person. The greater the desire, the more upper light can fill it, and vice versa.

The very quality of matter is called the desire. A reduction or expansion in desire is a reduction or expansion of the soul of a person.

The soul is a part of the Creator from above. That is, what fills the desire or fills the soul comes from the Creator and descends from Him to a person. But no more than that.

Question: Is soul and desire not the same thing?

Answer: The soul consists of desire and the light that fills it.

Question: Does it mean that the soul is a substance that a person does not have? Do we need to develop it?

Answer: No, the embryo of the soul is always there, otherwise a person would not be a person. Everyone who exists has some part of the soul. An inanimate, vegetative, animate, or human object has a soul.

That is, the Creator created the desire to receive and placed His part inside this desire, which is called the soul.

Question: Does it turn out that the Creator created something that does not exist in Him, and it is the desire to receive?

Answer: Yes, there is no desire to receive in the Creator. But there is the upper light emanating from the Creator in this desire.

Question: What is the general law of the system that a person first needs to pay attention to? A person has a goal, let’s say it is harmony.

Answer: The system has the same goal. And the system is moving toward bringing all its elements to a state of harmonious interaction.

Question: What can a person rely on?

Answer: He needs to find out which force is prevailing, how it leads the system to a state of mutual balance, and so on.

In other words, he must determine for himself that such a force, in principle, exists. Besides, the end of the development of the system is not that it stops, freezes in all its parts, but perhaps, on the contrary, it is that its certain mutual development will be considered the best state—the state of rest.

All the forces of connection that existed in Adam HaRishon before the shattering should be revealed in our time in a negative form, in the form of separation, confrontation, hatred, and rejection. And we must gradually fix it all.

People who have a tendency to correct the world come to study the science of Kabbalah because a “point in the heart” awakens in them, a spark of unity. Thus they begin to learn how to fix the shattering.

This is a long and difficult job although we are already in its final stages. We will see how the aspiration for correction and connection will begin to unfold day by day and it will become clear to everyone in the world that it is urgently needed.

This realization will come at the expense of wars and all kinds of problems, the global crisis, which is now approaching in all forms. And all this is so that we understand that connection between us is a panacea for all problems.

We are in a closed circular system where everyone is connected to everyone. Therefore through our good and bad actions, corrections or damage, we cause changes in the entire system relative to each of its elements.

Therefore I must see salvation in the guarantee—personal, general, global, and in all spheres, in the economy, in health care, balance in nature, ecology—salvation through the guarantee in absolutely everything. Do not wait for more severe blows; those that exist today are enough to see that a tsunami is moving toward us which can wash us all off the face of the earth.

By the force of our connection we can stop this tsunami wave and prevent it from approaching. Only our unity can serve as a shield against all these storm waves that threaten to hit us. Nature—meaning, the upper force, the Creator—is already preparing all kinds of arguments for us to prove that it is worth bending down and accepting the force of the upper governance.

And in fact it is not that hard to accomplish. After all, the forces of connection and integral nature are the most powerful and common forces that can really save us from all problems. We just have to try to perceive nature as one force, as the only thing that works.

We see that in this world everything depends on a person. And in the spiritual worlds, everything depends on a spiritual person, which means on the ten, on a group of Kabbalists who are imbued with world problems, who absorb all the inhabitants of this world, and become that maternal womb from which they will be born already at a new spiritual degree and from which a new corrected world will be born.

Life in the corporeal world constantly gives us difficult problems, pushes us away from spirituality, and undermines the importance of connection with the friends. But someday we will reveal how much all this shattering contributes to correction.

All the states that we reveal are given to us only for the sake of those actions that we need to arrange, combine, and correct. By doing this, we eventually establish ourselves in the very center of creation as a force that raises prayer and leads to correction.

The higher the Kli was before the shattering, the lower it fell after it. Therefore when we correct the Kelim, we start with the lightest and end with the heaviest ones, and we return the entire creation to move in the opposite direction. What fell down, rises up. By correcting ourselves in this way, we correct the entire creation.

It turns out that we humans include within ourselves all inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature that exist in creation, and also all people. If we, the greatest egoists, correct ourselves, then through this all the rest of the people will be corrected.

People who have received the yearning to correct egoistic desire are responsible for correcting the entire world. After all, if we correct ourselves, then this desire for correction will be transmitted to everyone else. We have the key to correcting the world.

By establishing the mutual guarantee between us, we will contribute to establishing world peace. After all, our desire to connect together in our state, at our degree of the last generation, affects all of reality, the whole of humanity, the entire universe, and all galaxies. This brings the forces of nature into balance at all degrees and levels, and of course, we should see the consequences of this balance of nature.

If we connect at our own degree, it means that all the degrees below us will also connect through the same forces and the same relationships as we do.

However, the souls, whose creation came about only because He wanted to delight them, which is the thought of creation, were necessarily imprinted with this law of wanting and yearning to receive His abundance. This is where they differ from Him, since their form has changed from His (Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Part 1, “Inner Observation,” Chapter 3, Item 15).

The Creator created the desire to receive pleasure. This desire is in the souls, each in its own measure. The greater the desire to receive and, naturally its fulfillment, the greater is the soul. And vice versa, the smaller the desire to receive, the smaller its fulfillment and the smaller is the soul.

Comment: Here we see a very important fundamental principle that is manifested in our life. We can only receive pleasure from the presence of the Creator. Everything else is much smaller.

My Response: That is absolutely correct.

Comment: On the one hand, the Creator created the purpose of creation. We must initially receive pleasure from His presence, from the connection with Him. On the other hand, it is precisely the fact that the Creator created the desire to receive pleasure from Him in us that separates us from Him.

My Response: Yes. On the one hand, this desire determines the power of the soul, and on the other hand, it also separates us from the Creator.

Question: So what should we do?

Answer: This is why we have the wisdom of Kabbalah, a method that allows us to grow our soul and at the same time not to separate, but to come closer to the Creator.

This is a special system of reception: on one hand, to receive pleasure from the Creator and on the other hand, to be with Him in the equivalence of qualities.

For the last two thousand years, the mixing of people has taken place on Earth. This does not mean that everyone lived together and produced offspring from each other. The fact is that the mixing was in views, feelings, rapprochement, and the transfer of all kinds of states. It ended in the time of the Ari, and starting from the 16^th century it was possible to begin the correction.

This happened under the leadership of the Baal Shem Tov. In fact, we are guided by his method because Abraham did not have a method of extracting a point in the heart from egoism. He worked on it and all his followers continued to develop it above egoism, but there was no such state to extract a point in the heart in the conditions that developed after the expulsion from the spiritual world.

People existed in attainment of the spiritual world before the destruction of the Second Temple, and then there was a complete expulsion from the spiritual world, and now we are starting to rise again.

Baal HaSulam created the practical method of ascent, formed it, and Rabash supplemented it with group work. We are now implementing this method in action, in practice, and giving it a finished practical form.
