Comment: You say that on the spiritual path everyone goes through absolutely the same states.

My Response: But in our life everyone also goes through the same path. Nevertheless, different people go through different lives.

Comment: But a person passing through spiritual states can get stuck in them for a long time.

My Response: It depends on their inclusion in the common system. Acceleration can only be due to external forces, by how much one participates in the work of the group and how much one receives energy from one’s friends.

Question: How can a person not get confused since it takes a long time to absorb something?

Answer: This is none of his business. He determines nothing in this. He determines only the influence of the group on himself. If he is included in the group, gets closer to the teacher and to the ten, then by this he advances.

Comment: When you teach certain levels of the Study of Ten Sefirot (TES), it is hard to understand at first, but later these layers become revealed.

My Response: I teach very simply since I give elementary information. It is just that today people are not able to comprehend it and they do so even less than they did before. Let’s say thirty years ago this information was simply understood, absorbed, studied, memorized, and used in a purely logical way.

Today, egoism has grown so much that it cannot tolerate simple knowledge, it must necessarily apply it to itself, and it has become more demanding. This is good after all, as it means we are moving toward practical correction.

What is interesting is that some cannot even tolerate the Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah (Pticha), not to mention the Study of the Ten Sefirot. People need what they can feel, really understand, and accept.

Take my lessons from 10 or 15 years ago. Look at how much I drew, the drafts I made, and whole panels! At that time I had a large board and I depicted drawings from the beginning of the creation to its end. It took two hours of time and with explanations and graphs. That’s how we worked.

But today people want only one thing: “This is what I need, this is what I want to know, and how do you get it quickly.” This is how egoism works. I’m not blaming anyone; I’m just saying that the ego has changed and that is why it is difficult for us to study such serious materials.

Comment: I remember when you were explaining and drawing, you never seemed to reach MA and BON. I always wanted to find out what was happening after that, but you always stopped in the middle.

Answer: Because MA and BON are rudimentary organs of the upper system that exist in order to pass the light further. But on their own, they have no direct influence on us. That is why we do not study them.

Comment: But how it affected us on the inside! We could clearly feel some truths resonating with us out of your explanations. They may not be as specific as mathematics, but this seems to have been erased.

Answer: Because you are no longer interested in it and your soul’s need for it disappeared.

Question: What makes the spoken Kabbalistic language different from the written?

Answer: Spoken language, unlike the written language, can convey much more, on one hand, and on the other hand, written language can convey more than the spoken language.

After all, written language is not just the language we use today; there were many other additional symbols in it. People used it for a long time until it was all erased and forgotten. Our great teacher Yehuda Ashlag (Baal HaSulam) speaks a little about this.

Spoken and written languages are different ways of passing on information. But in general, of course, everything is passed on in written language, especially in our time.

But it was not so before. At one time, written language was used very little since information was mainly passed on orally and memorized. For example, if I hear something from my teacher, I just memorize what he says literally. Gradually, I start to understand these words and begin to understand what I have received from him.

Question: Was it so because much more can be conveyed through oral speech?

Answer: Not only because of that, but because the information was not written down. It was forbidden to simply write it down. That is why there is the oral Torah and the written Torah.

The oral Torah is much deeper and much higher than the written one. It talks about connection with the Creator. The written one is only what we can write down, what we can indicate, what we can understand and comprehend today.

A true Kabbalist can read texts and see all kinds of words between the lines; that is, certain information that was intended to be passed orally, but was not written down.

Question: It is written in the Torah that the world was created with the letter “Bet.” Why?

Answer: The Torah begins with the word “Bereshit” – “in the beginning.”

The letter “Bet” with which this word begins is a special letter. And although it has a hidden meaning of its outline, our world, which is formed by it, is the second world. After all, the Gematria of the letter “Bet” is two.

A person must imagine that he is a created creation and must ascend to the Creator. At first glance, these are very simple things, but inside there are many internal hidden symbols and forces.

A person’s desire for the Creator is usually indicated as a black dot, line, or circle on a white background of the upper light. When there is a mutual influence of a person and the Creator, to the extent that they can complement each other, a person with his desire to feel the Creator and the Creator with His feeling on a person, mutual properties arise between them.

There are only 22 such properties. They are called the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. There are also additional letters, not capital ones, as in other alphabets, but final ones, the so-called “Mantsepach.”

There are no periods or commas in Hebrew. There are only 22 letters that express the descent of the upper light into human desires.

There are many different methods to draw the surrounding light on yourself, even when you are alone. The more so when you are in a group by studying and any kind of work for humanity, but only real, correct, work when you disseminate Kabbalah and help people.

Light leads a person to the realization of the evil of his egoistic nature and it evokes his desire to correct himself. It is the light that leads him to an inner prayer for correction. And when it is carried out, he begins to feel the inner light.

Everyone who feels the upper light begins to develop within this upper light, as if his spiritual eyes are opened. As we see in the sunlight, so the Kabbalist sees in spiritual light. He attains another side of the universe that shows him everything that exists. It is hidden from others, but not from him.

In our world, a person who is enjoying himself does not ask the question: “What is next?” He simply enjoys himself until he gets empty and again begins to strive for fulfillment.

And in spirituality, on the contrary, he is looking for how to properly and kindly influence others and the Creator. Based on the fact that he is overwhelmed with a feeling of goodness coming from the Creator, he wants to continue this transmission from himself to others.

Question: Are there periods when a baby senses everything from end to end?

Answer: No, this has nothing to do with the corporeal body. This is said in a spiritual sense, when an infant is called a person who is ready to rise above itself and become included in the upper domain because one is completely ready to obtain the property of bestowal, the second property of the world that is concealed from us.

We live in the world of reception, absorption, swallowing, and capturing, and we have to cross over to the world of bestowal and fulfillment of others, to living in the desires of others.

If we can cross over to this system, then our first state there will be called a “spiritual embryo,” development in the form of the spiritual embryo. Then, once we completely reject our egoism, we will be able to see everything in this world from end to end.

Question: We’re talking about true love. There probably is such a thing as true hatred, true confrontation.

How can one work with this second part that goes along with love? Does a person need to pay attention to it?

Answer: Yes, it is necessary because all the negative qualities arise in us precisely so that with their help, as we rise above them, we can go to the realization, sensation, and development of connection and love in us.

Comment: A few thousand years ago, the spiritual method was such that a person could reveal the upper force through great suffering and their justification. Since the time of the Ari, another method became relevant—the need to develop the screen. There is no longer the need to suffer because that method did not affect the increased egoism.

My Response: In the method of the Ari, by reading about the lights, the screen, the ten Sefirot, and the interaction between them, even without understanding what is written about, a person draws the surrounding light upon himself, which begins to build a screen in him. And gradually, through it, a person begins to connect with the upper world.

With this method, you can achieve the opposite of egoism (qualities of bestowal and love), get out of the ego, and begin to feel the opposite quality of nature.

Question: Baal HaSulam who based his methodology on the system of the Ari, wrote that when one pronounces the names of lights and Kelim (vessels), the person evokes the surrounding light because he seems to remember what is written about his soul. What does this mean?

Answer: The fact is that a person wants to achieve such states that speak about the quality of bestowal and love, qualities that are opposite to his egoism. By striving for this, he attracts upon himself a special illumination, a special force. He arouses the forces that are very deep within himself.

Therefore, by striving for the opposite, that is, restricting himself in everything and giving out all he has to others, he brings himself to rise above the egoistic nature, which, in fact, is not so important to him, and moves toward the altruistic nature.
