The phrase “There is none else besides Him” means the beginning and the end of the spiritual path. I do not like to talk abstractly, but this is incredible. It is necessary to enter into this concept many times.

There is no one acting except the Creator. No one in the world has the opportunity to do anything because only the Creator, that is, the upper light, creates, gives birth to, moves, and does everything. In general, all the energy, all the power, everything that holds, creates, and transforms all living things is only the force of light, the force of the Creator.

However, the Creator has placed a spark in us, with the help of which we can influence something ourselves, based on this spark and not on egoism! Our egoism is something inanimate that cannot be inverted. But everything that exists in us and in inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature exists because of this spark.

There are people in whom this spark begins to motivate them to actions similar to the Creator. It does not just enliven them, but gives them the desire to become like Him. Such people are called “Adam” from the word “Domeh – similar.”

If this spark in people is in the first, second, and third stages, meaning in the inanimate, vegetative, and animate ones, then it moves them, and they develop science, culture, technology, and so on.

And when its intensity reaches the fourth stage in a person, then one yearns for equivalence with the Creator. He is carried somewhere beyond the clouds, he must find the meaning of life, its source. Such people are called Israel, which means “straight to the Creator.”

Abraham gathered such people in Babylon and began to work with them on the ascent to the Creator. That is why they are called Kabbalists. These people have existed in all ages and exist to this day.

Throughout history, many scientists and philosophers, not necessarily Jews, understood this, studied and correctly interpreted the science of revealing the Creator because they had this spark, this point in the heart, this star. It leads a person to the Creator, and he reveals that there is only one single force of light that controls everything.

However, due to the fact that a point of the fourth degree awakens in a person, he himself can invite the influence of light upon himself, but only if he really wants to become like it. If he wants to rise above his egoism or even change it to bestowal instead of reception, then he can ask the light to do it. But in any case, only the light does everything, and therefore, there is none else besides Him.

Question: Do you remember your state when you began to observe yourself a little from the side, but at the same time you were not yet detached from yourself? Are there any nuances that allow you to look at this state more clearly?

Answer: There are no tricks here, no miracles or secrets that I might like to reveal to some people, but not to others. No matter how close or distant a person is to me, he still goes the way that depends only on him. So there’s nothing you can do here. The main thing is perseverance and the effectiveness of every minute that you want to use.

I was lucky that I could work a limited number of hours every day to provide for my family, and devote the rest of my time to Kabbalah. Of course, I gave myself to it fully. How much I wrote, rewrote, and published; I did everything!

These were very effective years, and years of searching too; when you develop internally, you are constantly searching. Although you are next to the teacher, it does not help; you have to find your own way. It is inside you.

I think that all the people who studied with us and are not with us now, those who have stepped aside for some time, have, in fact, not moved away; they will return anyway. A couple of blows and they will understand that there is no other way; they must still realize themselves. Eventually, hundreds of thousands, if not several million people in the world will join us.

Question: When you say that a person who attains spirituality burns from the inside and it really begins to be felt, do you take analogies from what you perceived yourself?

Answer: Of course from myself! Everything that exists in the world, a person lives through himself. Look how everyone lives their life: short or long, more or less prosperous, suffering, with problems, a little bit of this, a little bit of that.

Question: You are talking about such scorching things! Did you really have to go through this yourself to feel all that?

Answer: By going through it, I saw that if I deviated to the right or left line, I would either turn into a “flatbread,” or it would be something perfect—a soft down pillow that would smoothly slow down my train.

Question: So, when you went through these states, did you clearly feel each of them?

Answer: Yes, because a person usually walks in the middle line. He still hits a barrier that slows him down, but it is like hooks grabbing you when you need to stop. These grips slowly slow you down.

Question: And everyone will have to go through these states?

Answer: Of course, it is a must: the right and left lines upon which you build the middle line. It depends in what form, that is, to what extent. In accordance with my soul, I had to study so much and disseminate so much. There are such souls among the souls, not high, but just special. They are required to be teachers or leaders in charge, and so on.

Once we visited a former student of Rabash and he, looking at me, said: “I look at you and how many years you have been doing this. I remember once you had a fight with everyone, including Rabash and refused to go to the coast with him. Then I went with him. And there I asked him: “Rav, why don’t you expel this Laitman? Look what he allows himself!”

Rabash replied: “I would kick him out, but he has a special soul.” I did not understand it then, but now I see that you do not give up, you continue and keep hitting one spot all the time.”

Why am I saying this? Not to spotlight myself. There is nothing special about it because the Creator appoints and removes. But everyone simply has a mission, and it must be fulfilled. I feel it pressing on me, and I am implementing it. Is it possible to escape from it? It is forbidden. Whether you agree with it or not is your problem.

I am trying to agree, to justify the Creator’s plan, in relation to myself at least. Therefore, I have no questions about how I live. I feel that it must be done.

And what is interesting about Kabbalah, the more you study, the more you realize that this image you are playing now does not really exist. Nothing remains of a person! It is in our world, in its history, we remember great or famous people, positive or negative. But there is nothing left at all! That same integral point remains in the huge system, which played its role because the Creator played it that way. And that is it.

So, I have a very simple mission. I am trying to do the maximum of what I feel from my science. As much as it works, it works, as much as it does not, it does not.

Question: Is there a lucky number in Kabbalah?

Answer: There is no such thing. Any number is lucky.

Question: Do you also not have a favorite number?

Answer: As a child, I had favorite numbers, and after that no. I remember my favorite number was seven.

There are no favorite and less favorite numbers, everything can be good, and everything can be bad. It depends on how a person applies all these numbers and these laws.

Question: How does light affect us—constantly or only when we call it on ourselves?

Answer: The fact is that we are constantly in the ocean of light. But how we feel it and how we are prepared for this or that kind of influence of the Creator depends on us.

So we can’t say anything specific. Everything that comes from the Creator is called light, and a person, depending on how much he corresponds to the Creator, feels this influence more strongly and fully.

There are no vowels in Hebrew. They are expressed by additional dots and marks above, below, or inside the letters.

The Hebrew letter consists of three elements: a dot, a line, a circle.

A black dot on a white background symbolizes the beginning of creation, when an egoistic desire appears on the white background of the upper light, on the background of the influence of the Creator.

This point can express a circle and can expand in any direction from four sides (meaning movement on a plane).

We can talk about this endlessly because the movements of a black dot on a white background express the entire spectrum of the attitude of the Creator to creation and conversely, the creation to the Creator.

That is, the shape of some letter on a black background expresses how I perceive the Creator’s influence on my Kli (vessel). The white light is the light of bestowal, love, and unity with the Creator. As I feel this light, I perform some actions with it and send it back to its source.

We need to study all of this.

In Hebrew there are no numbers at all; there is a letter record of numerical states. For example: Yud-Alef (י – א) is 11. The depiction starts from one to ten and beyond. By adding new letters, the following tens, hundreds, thousands, etc. are expressed. That is, letters express both words and numbers.

All this is connected to Gematria. Gematria is the numerical meaning of words that speak about inner spiritual force, not of the word itself, but of what stands behind it.

Question: For example, God is Elokim in Hebrew. In Gematria, it is Peh-Vav (פ-ו)—86. What does this mean?

Answer: For a person who does not study Kabbalah, this does not mean anything. It speaks to someone who knows what it is about. This means that the force value of this word is 86 (Peh-Vav). If I say Peh-Vav to a Kabbalist, he understands what kind of connection with the Creator we are talking about.

Question: In principle, there are no secrets in this?

Answer: No, of course not. There are no secrets in the world at all! It all comes down to just knowing what is behind the words, numbers, etc. Nothing else.

If I rise above the claims of egoism, which convince me that this work is meaningless and the spiritual path is not for me, then it means that I am going above reason. And so, “penny by penny joins in a great amount”; that is, all the overcoming accumulates to a certain measure necessary in order to become a vessel for receiving the upper light.

It is in this form that we advance and the degree of connection between the friends is very important here. After all, in states of weakness, a person will not find any strength, desire, or awakening that is capable of lifting or stimulating him at least a little. Additional strength can only come from connection with the friends.

We need to understand that we have to receive all the strength to advance from the group and from nowhere else. There are only two options: either from egoism or from connection in the group. These are the only levers available in our system. Therefore if we want to advance toward the final correction, we must try to connect more and more, as much as possible in the ten, and receive strength for awakening and unification from there.

And then again and again, extract everything from there. Even when it seems that there are no resources left, you still squeeze out strength from there as if you are scraping the last crumbs from the bottom of the pan. This is how you need to try to receive strength to unite from the group. After all, this is what the real work that moves us forward should be.

Question: Why is Hebrew written from right to left?

Answer: The right side is the side of perfection and the left side is imperfection.

Even in communication with each other, we always say: “You are right (right side).” And the left, on the contrary, is the flawed side. Therefore, in Hebrew, writing begins on the right side because everything comes from the Creator right to left.

This is all an expression of the relationship with the Creator since this is all that language conveys.

Question: What is the difference between a person who directly perceives the upper light and a person who is being influenced by the surrounding light?

Answer: The fact is that an ordinary person who receives various influences from the light that fills everything, feels himself in a certain world. Inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human images emerge in him, and he exists among these images.

A person who has raised himself to feeling the light itself and not its consequences feels, in addition to inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human nature, also the light, that is, the influence of a higher level on himself and on nature.

From the desire to attain the meaning of creation, the source of creation, the Creator, and himself relative to the Creator, he feels the cause of what is happening, not just consequences. This gives him the opportunity to attain the meaning of existence, the meaning of life, and to change this meaning.
