Question: In theory, the Creator created creation and gave it a sense of freewill. How is it even possible to give a person a quality that supposedly gives independence, but at the same time the choice of decisions and freedom of will as though they are not programmed?

Answer: This quality is created by a person gradually. It doesn’t really exist in nature. When a person begins to work on himself to get out of himself into others, then he has the opportunity of freewill.

In fact, this is freedom not in the sense of “do whatever you want,” but freedom from your egoism. This is not the freedom of being between egoism and altruism, love and hate—no. It is the freedom to be in love, in giving. In our understanding, freedom means that I will do what I want! There is no freedom in this!

Comment: Prayer in the heart arises automatically, that is, any lack that manifests itself: I want to drink, I want to eat, I want, I want.

My Response: Every living being, everything that exists, has it.

Question: What does the Creator think about this?

Answer: Nothing. He Himself awakens these desires and He also fulfills them.

Question: Does He want me to ask? Or is there no point in this?

Answer: If you ask against your nature, above your nature, then this is a completely different matter. You consciously turn to your nature and to the Creator, and you want to change yourself.

Question: If, for example, I am ill and I want to be cured, then, in principle, is there a point to ask the Creator about this; after all, He caused this disease?

Answer: The request helps in any case. Any address to the Creator helps. It is better to turn to Him and ask for anything just to be directed straight to Him.

In fact, prayer should consist of the correct direction, called Kavana, intention, and then it will be very effective.

Question: You, as a Kabbalist, are a kind of a substance that consists of desires and intentions. You look just like any other person. How do you build some of your consistent actions in our world?

Answer: On one hand I am a teacher; whoever wants to receive the knowledge that I possess from me can get it through the regular lessons on the Internet, through books, and so on. On the other hand I am an educator. Those who want to listen to my advice can receive it.

Besides that, I also influence the world based on my inner potential. This influence is not perceived and not felt by others. Those students who are next to me feel it during lessons. But, in general, it is not perceivable; it cannot be measured in any way, you can only feel that there is some kind of power in this person. When you are next to him, it penetrates you, but nothing more than that. It is not something obvious.

There are Kabbalists who lived in this world and left books and disciples behind them. Now they are gone, but this does not mean that they do not exist and do not act, and act, even more than we do! This is because they are in the system, only they are not perceived by us.

And I am still in a system that is felt by the lowest level in existence. Due to the fact that I am on the same level with them, I can help them, show them, give an example, and support them.

Question: Where is your “I”?

Answer: “I” is the most acute sense of the need for self–realization. What would I like to do most effectively at this moment in order to realize myself? This is called “I.” Obviously it already depends on the person, what he would want.

Question: And your “I”?

Answer: I think I am trying to do that in all my actions. For example, now I urgently need to run to realize my “I” in front of hundreds of people who, in turn, will listen to how they can realize their “I.”

Comment: When there is pressure that you didn’t see coming, it seems easier to outlast it than to throw yourself into the millstones of the group.

My Response: It depends on one’s level and one’s understanding of his purpose in life. If my goal is to be healthy, then I am happy to go under the surgeon’s knife and I even pay a lot of money for the surgery.

But if my goal is only to live well with fewer problems, then I’m completely dead. I take all kinds of painkillers and sedatives—a drink here, a pill there, and so I prolong my existence.

Everything depends on the attitude to life. Therefore blows, yelling, or negative reinforcement are sometimes perceived as positive. It is correction!

For example they probably write lots of things about me on the Internet. But I’m not interested in that because I have a goal. How will I reach it if I don’t pursue it every moment?

If I could read serious, critical articles, comments, and discussions about myself and about my path, I would be happy to seek them out. But I know from the inner state of the world that there is no one who could argue with me on equal terms. Although I do not place myself above others, I’m implying the grasp of the spiritual level. I see no one.

Of course there are such people, but they will not show up on the Internet. These are the spiritual people like my teacher. There is a slight spiritual contact between us. This is a very special connection between people in the world.

As for all sorts of “philosophers” who understand nothing about Kabbalah but only borrow various terms, names, and definitions in order to juggle them around, I have nothing to say to them or to the various religious leaders, mystics, etc. who are based in god knows what; none of them have spiritual attainment.

Question: But is there a category of people who have reached a certain spiritual level?

Answer: Of course, but they are not in physical contact with each other. They just feel that there are other people besides them in attainment.

Question: When you look at a student, do you know his or her entire path from beginning to end?

Answer: What does it matter? It is still very hard to describe, including his freewill and so on. There is nothing obvious. There is a program, but the method of its implementation is concealed.

But if we were at the end of final correction, which no one has yet reached because this can only be done together, we would see all the paths we have traveled. This can only be seen by going through them and being in the final state.

No person can fully see what is happening, what will happen, and in what form. In principle the stages of the path are known, but the time when they will come true and how they are realized is unknown since this is determined by our freewill.

Question: But you once said that Rabash knew your path from beginning to end?

Answer: Probably, but I do not think he knew exactly how it would be implemented. As far as I understand, not a single created being, until its final correction, can see an absolutely complete implementation, which is above freewill because it is on the next level of the entire picture of the universe.

That is, you must rise to the full correction of this picture, behind which there are so-called 7^th, 8^th, 9^th, and 10^th millennia.

Question: But can a Kabbalist see the dry program, I mean the program itself?

Answer: Of course. But not the dates. It is impossible to say how this will be done, by war or by peace, this year or in 20 to 30 years. Otherwise, we would not have freedom.

This would automatically cancel any of our actions. Not that you know and do nothing, but in a completely different way. If this picture were clear, visible, and realized, then you no longer need to do anything.

Question: The Torah is written in the language of branches. For example, in the Torah the word “Egypt” (Mitzraim) means “concentration of evil” (Mitz Ra). That is, a Kabbalist feels the evil of his egoistic nature, but calls it Egypt. In our world there is such a country or, say, a place. This is clear.

But when a Kabbalist says such terms as “Keter, Hochma, Bina, Zeir Anpin,” there is no manifestation of such words in our world. Where are their branches?

Answer: Partly, they are manifested. In our world there are words like “Keter, Hochma, Bina,” although we use them in a completely different context. But there are also terms that are not used in our world. Kabbalists derived them from their spiritual attainment.

In other words, there are spiritual objects that do not manifest in the material world. And there are those that do manifest so we by seeing the branches can name them.

Comment: But if we can’t name them, then Kabbalists came up with all sorts of names, for example, “Ten Sefirot,” which actually do not mean anything?

Answer: This is not made up but derived out of their attainment. For example, why did they call the mountain in Jerusalem the Mount of Olives? Because they saw that it was suitable for planting olive trees on it. And so with the other words.

That is, if a person does not have spiritual attainment, he cannot research anything in Kabbalah.

Suppose you succeed in breaking the wall with your head. And what, then, will you do in the next cell? (Stanislaw Jerzy Lec)

Question: The author completely believes that we are in prison one way or another. We are constantly hitting and hitting a wall.

Answer: That’s right. The entire history of humanity is like this. But we still want to get to the next cell.

Question: I would like to believe that I am hammering away and somewhere I will break through a tunnel and come out into the light, but in fact, am I just trying to get into the next cell?

Answer: Yes. No tunnel leads anywhere because we are digging in the wrong direction. It is necessary to dig not into the next cell, but into yourself. We can dig into ourselves only if we agree on very serious mutual support, and we will really dig.

Then we will dig up a huge mountain of egoism. We can help each other climb it. Once we climb it, we will sit down and barbecue some kebabs. 😊

Question: What is on our skewers? What are we barbecuing? Is it our own egoism?

Answer: Yes. There are so many problems and scrutinies before we come to the correct state. It is because religions, philosophies, psychology, and everything around makes it all so foggy, even dark, that a person does not know which way to move. Any step can lead you around 360 degrees, in circles, but a thin line to the true state is anti–egoistic.

We must join hands and walk, and constantly annul ourselves, close our eyes, and obey the others. This is what we need to do together.

If we all do that, if we join our hands and hold on to each other, and although no one knows the way, but we hold on to each other and keep going, and every step we take forward is just to be closer to each other, in this case, we will get to the right place

Question: Then will then the tunnel be not from cell to cell, but toward the way out of prison?

Answer: Yes.

Very often people who are starting to study Kabbalah come with an approach to our world that now we will set up a system, it will start working, and everything will be fine. And then they are faced with the fact that this approach does not work here, and therefore they leave.

They rely on their brains and do not understand that spiritual attainment requires a new mind, new feelings, and a completely different human internality.

He must change the entire program in his “computer,” increase memory, increase speed, make a complete upgrade, and install a new program, then the person will completely change.

Question: Does a person have the opportunity to learn about his past reincarnations? There is a lot of speculation on this topic and quite serious evidence that people seem to remember who they were in other incarnations. Is it possible?

Answer: No. As a rule, these are all far-fetched thoughts. But if a person really reveals the upper world, he absolutely clearly attains his soul, his cycle, where he is, what is happening to him.

Question: It is written in the book of the Prophets that at the end of days all bodies will rise. Is there such a thing as the “resurrection of the dead”? What is this about?

Answer: That in the end all souls will attain themselves and will be able to unite together into the one soul of Adam.

Question: Does it matter what actions a person performed in his past life and does it connect with his future cycle?

Answer: Of course there are certain connections and dependencies. But, in general, we cannot figure it out.

First, we must know that when dealing with spiritual matters, which have no concern with time, space, or motion, and moreover when dealing with Godliness, we do not have the words by which to contemplate and express. Our entire vocabulary is taken from sensations of imaginary senses.

For this reason, the sages of the Kabbalah have chosen a special language that we can call “the language of the branches” (Baal HaSulam, Study of the Ten Sefirot, Part 1, “Restriction and Line,” Inner Observation).

The language of the branches is a special language used by Kabbalists. On one hand, it is taken from our world, and on the other hand from the sensation that they take from the upper world. It turns out that while speaking in the language of our world, Kabbalists propose to describe some phenomena in the upper world.

In principle, this is impossible, but when a person gradually studies the text, devotes a lot of time to this, and wants to attain the real spiritual laws and actions, then he invites the upper light to come closer to him because it is how it is embedded in the text itself by its author.

Therefore, a person begins to come closer to understanding the inner meaning of the text. In this way, he slowly overcomes this basically insurmountable barrier between our world and the spiritual world and begins to understand spiritual actions through the words of our world.

In the Study of the Ten Sefirot, Baal HaSulam provides a dictionary of Kabbalistic terms and gives an explanation of them that is close to understanding in our world. But still, this is not our world.

Light, darkness, becoming closer, distancing, restriction—in general he tries to explain all actions of the spiritual world with the help of various terms, and by studying them we attract the surrounding light upon ourselves.

In fact, we do not understand what it is about, but we at the same time awaken the upper light, which influences us and brings us closer to feeling the actions of the upper light
