Comment: You talk about the unity of all mankind and love for one’s neighbor all the time.

My Response: This is the most important thing.

Question: But who feels it and understands it in the correct form?

Answer: It is useful for everyone to strive for this.

And the souls are absolutely not felt by us. There are so many misconceptions, and therefore it is impossible to talk much about it. This will confuse people and give them the wrong understanding of where they exist, for what, in the name of what.

But if these people become Kabbalists themselves, then, to the degree they reach, they will see, feel, and understand all this. Good luck to them.

Question: Why is a person’s life so short from the point of view of spiritual development? He can go through all the corrections in one lifetime, right?

Answer: No, he can’t. He has to change himself. And to die in a relatively uncomfortable state, even with torment. This is necessary for his correction

Question: Are you talking about any person?

Answer: Yes, about anyone.

We don’t understand this system at all. We think that if a person is a Kabbalist, then he has patronage in the spiritual world, he himself makes orders. No. This is the system in which you exist, the scheme where you are a small element. And even if you generate and define a lot, you are still an element of the system.

Question: Why is this change necessary? Why do I need to restart in a new body?

Answer: A person needs rebirth in order to start working under new initial conditions, at a new level. You cannot, even as a Kabbalist, move from one level to another without changing the external adapter. You have to return to another reified animal state.

But how can one return, is it necessary to return? This is a very complex system. We are not talking about the return of the animal body, it can absolutely completely rot. All this worship of the dead, respect for the dead, these are all anachronisms. In fact, it has absolutely nothing to do with the spiritual.

We don’t understand what it means to live in this world and in another parallel world at the same time. We don’t understand what it means to see the system of governance of our world.

We have no idea what it means to exist in the form of thought, energy, and spirit not clothed in a body, that is, in some huge system where you and the system are one common whole. And you don’t have one separate thing, you merge with this system, as if you don’t exist. We don’t have the words to explain it.

But we don’t need that. What for? It won’t help us, it will only confuse us. A person is told only what can help him realize himself quickly. Whoever wants to do this seriously, let him engage in it and attain it.

Question: There is a well known parable regarding judgment taking place above—to hell or to heaven. The famous preacher’s turn comes; he is calm, and suddenly he is sent to hell. He asks, “Why to hell?! Right before me, a reckless driver was sent to heaven.” He is told: “What were you thinking? Everyone was asleep at your sermons. Meanwhile, when he was driving people, everyone was praying.”

How should we relate to this? Should we be led to prayer while we are alive; how should this happen?

Answer: We are being led. If we strive to reach a connection with the Creator, then all sorts of obstacles and conditions are put to us, and we involuntarily see that we cannot fulfill these conditions in any way, only if we get serious help from above.

Question: Does this mean that if we strive to connect with the Creator, then we can be grateful for all these things and obstacles?

Answer: For the stick.

Question: You keep saying, “Kiss the stick that beats you.” Then we kiss it? Otherwise what happens?

Answer: Otherwise we move along with our egoism, the way a fish swims, in such twisty ways.

Question: How should we treat everything that leads us, but is not yet directed, to the goal of creation, to prayer?

Answer: We have to push each other. We have to give an example. We need to shake things up a bit.

Question: How can I, an ordinary person who does not strive for the goal of connection with the Creator, someone who strives to live calmly and simply on our earth, also relate those misfortunes and troubles as things that should lead me to prayer?

Answer: Naturally a person does not want suffering, prayer, or anything.

Question: And how should I relate to this? Should I run away from them?

Answer: Of course. It’s best to run away from them and that’s what everyone does.

Question: This means I can run away if I’m not striving for anything, but I just want to live this life well on this earth?

Answer: In this case, “There is no need for suffering, and there is no need for rewards.”

Question: And what is the advice to such people?

Answer: The advice to such people is to try to live in peace, or even lower, quieter, and calmer. Try to go through life like this.

Question: Is this in order for the waves to pass over us?

Answer: Yes. But this is fate. There are some people who want it; there are those who disagree with this and those who disagree and yet with a couple of blows, they then agree.

Question: So one way or another, these blows bring a person down if he is here and wants to live his life here?

Answer: It depends on the root of the soul.

Question: And what is your advice to those who strive for the Creator and for connection?

Answer: For them, the most important thing is to get closer to the Creator, and it doesn’t matter in what way: either through getting a couple of blows on the way or any other way.

Question: So, one way or another they will and should treat these blows as help?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is it correct to say that this parable is intended more for those who are directed to the Creator?

Answer: There is always suffering, but if they are not critical and are instead ordinary everyday sufferings, etc., then they are always good.

Question: Is this the way to relate to them?!

Answer: Yes.

Question: What happens if I start to treat them this way?

Answer: I mean the suffering that does not distract from building a right life or a right connection with others and with the Creator. If there are too many of them, then this is a different sort of suffering.

Question: If you look at human life, most of the time we are silent. What is the spiritual root of this state?

Answer: Obviously, we can express a small amount of our emotions in terms of time, momentum, and other parameters.

Personally, I do not see anything vicious in silence. On the contrary, as they say, “silence is golden.” This is a sign of cleverness, inner work, and introspection of a person into himself. So, silence is encouraged more than chattering.

Silence can also be the transmission of information, depending on the kind of silence.

“One” indicates a single evenness… “Unified” shows that although He performs the multiple operations, one force performs all these (Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Inner Observation, Chapter 1, Item 1).

The Creator is one. There is no other force in the universe.

He is unified because everything that we perceive as completely different, even opposite qualities, comes from Him. Despite the fact that in our senses this force is manifested as many opposing forces, the Creator is unified.

Question: Does all this separation happen in our perception?

Answer: Only in our perception! Everything that we see as opposite to each other, we see in such a way only because this is how we separate everything that happens.

Question: Is it possible to explain the concepts of “One,” “Unique,” “Unified” practically, by example? Let’s say I have just read this information. What does it give me? How can I use it for my development?

Answer: Everything that you feel is the Creator and only Him. All kinds of actions and qualities that are revealed to us as opposites come from Him.

One force, one thought, one unique, unified purpose covers absolutely all the opposite forces that are manifested in you precisely because of your qualities. It all merges, connects, and unites into one single whole inside the Creator.

You have to feel it all. We must try to see it within us and around us.

Comment: In The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Baal HaSulam explains that the spiritual essence itself is simple, although it consists of many opposite forms relative to the receiver. Therefore, people began to believe that there are two upper forces: good and evil. Then they saw that they were disintegrating into many more different forces.

My Response: In our world, a person sees a great number of different forces around him and does not understand that all this comes from one source, from one force.

Question: Why is this done in such a way? What does this source want to tell us about this?

Answer: He wants to say that we should correct ourselves until we see only Him in everything. The correction of a person consists in discovering one force behind all the forces. There is none else besides Him.

Question: Let’s say I discovered this force. What is next?

Answer: Next you begin to correctly attain everything that exists within you and around you, that only one single Creator fills everything and acts in everything.

Question: Can practicing Kabbalah reduce the number of future reincarnations of a person? Or is their number predetermined?

Answer: It does not matter if it is predetermined or not, but we can change and influence them.

Question: I have heard that if a person who studies Kabbalah is in a ten and passes away, he continues to be a member of the ten. What does this mean?

Answer: It depends on the ten. It has the ability to feel this person and contact him. He lives in them because they were mutually connected with each other as Sefirot in one Partzuf. Therefore, the connection remains.

But he does not continue living in the way we understand, in the memory of these people but in their qualities. In this case he makes decisions, changes, and so on with them.

All this should become clear to us from the revelation of the soul to a person. It is hard to talk about things we cannot imagine and feel.

Comment: But you tell us many things about Kabbalah that we do not feel.

My Response: But you can imagine this somehow, and if you yearn for this, then you are approaching the purpose of creation.

Know that there is not an essence of a single being in the world, both the ones perceived by our senses and the ones perceived by our mind’s eye, that is not included in the Creator  (Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Chapter 1, Inner Observation, Item 1).

The Creator is a general force that includes everything. Not only what we see, but in general everything that happens, is located, or exists anywhere, everything, is included in the Creator.

Question: If the Creator is a quality of bestowal and a quality of unity and our world is egoistic, why is our world still included in Him? How can we understand this?

Answer: It is because we perceive it incorrectly.

Question: Is the evil that we see in the world in the Creator, or do we perceive it this way?

Answer: This is our perception. In fact, there is no evil in the world at all.

Question: How can you put something into a connection that could affect an ordinary person?

Answer: I must invest an altruistic intention in my work and in everything I do. I want people to feel that their salvation is in the connection between them because we find a special upper force of nature in it that can do for us all the best that we wish. In any aspect: health, family, education, upbringing, mood, social relations, peace, and security, in whatever we want.

This is life like in paradise. Even more than in paradise. Because from our world we move into a spiritual state without any sense of death, even a physical one. We simply rise to the next level.

Just like I do not feel inanimate matter in my body or even vegetative matter. I cut my nails and hair and do not feel any loss. In the same way, I am gradually losing the feeling of the animate level, once I rise to the next level into the correct relationship between people by creating this level in the connection between us and living in it.

I begin to feel myself only at the level of “human” and come to the state of eternal perfect existence. This is what we must come to.

Comment: But you say: If a person himself does not want to make internal changes, you can invest whatever you want in him, but it will not affect him in any way.

My Response: No, under the influence of society he will want to change because we are a consequence of society. You cannot do anything about that! If society is permeated with this idea, then a person inevitably agrees with it and acts in the same direction.

Question: When you communicate with someone or give lessons, how do you influence that audience or that person you are in contact with so that it changes him?

Answer: I just act out of myself. Since I am the bearer of this idea a person who communicates with me through my materials in any kind of media becomes infected with it, and gradually it begins to work inside of him.

Comment: If you look at what is happening, then at this stage you have done much more than the Kabbalists of the past during their time.

My Response: I have done a lot at this stage but at a low level.

Kabbalists of the past made massive corrections in the spiritual world and prepared it for manifestation in our world. I, however, do more work from below upward. I prepare this world so that it is more or less ready in its form and aspiration for contact with the upper world.

That is, their work was based on pulling the spiritual source down from above, and my job is to lift a group of people to their source and create this contact. I work from below upward. This is my mission.
