And the light descended

To the worlds, into the black empty space located in it

And each circle from each world, and those cloer to the light are important,

Until we find our world of matter in the central point,

Inside all the circles in the center of the gaping void.
(Ari, The Tree Of Life)

Concentric circles are such a representation of the worlds from the furthest from the center to the closest to the center. In this way, the Creator’s energy is distributed throughout creation.

We are at the most central point of all the concentric circles. From them the influence of the Creator’s energy descends upon us.

Question: Did everything that is written in the Ari’s poem happen before the Big Bang?

Answer: Yes, and after that too. We are talking about the stationary state of the worlds. At the same time, our world is located in the central point, inside all the circles in the center of the gaping void, which shines with its blackness.

A person feels this as an absolute incomprehensibility, absolute unwillingness, as lack of energy and lack of reason, of any motivation, that is, it is the blackest point of the entire universe.

Question: In principle, this state exists in potential. But when a person enters it, does he feel it as a recognition of the evil of his egoistic nature?

Answer: Even much worse. It feels like a complete absence of everything, an absolute emptiness, an absolute absence of desires in anything and in any way whatsoever.

Question: Is this state similar to death?

Answer: No, this is not death. Although, it depends on how you interpret it. But, in general, it is, of course, a terrible state.

Question: Does everyone have to feel this state in order to move on?

Answer: Yes, it is felt a little by every person, otherwise he will not move forward. He will not attain the Creator because he has no corresponding inclinations. In order to move him to the Creator, he must be given such states from which he would run away to Him.

All of reality is ticking like a wound-up clock according to a determined program, and everything that is going to happen is bound to happen. We just need to establish the correct attitude to what is happening.

But through this more correct or incorrect attitude we, in fact, look at the world, and depending on it we see good or bad events in it. Our attitude is like a filter through which we evaluate and feel reality; you define your entire life this way.

We are inside a deterministic system, all the events in it are precisely predetermined. All we can correct is our attitude toward reality, which is revealed to us. This makes us feel how we ourselves are changing and how the world is changing.

Everything depends on the inner attitude of a person toward his life, whether I am able to fill my entire life with the upper force that moves everything and controls everything and together with my friends try to perceive the Creator in this way. We connect with the friends and feel that the Creator is within us. We live in this aspiration; this is our true internal life.

Outside there is only a mechanical life in which we still need to somehow exist and act. But the main work is to hold the Creator, who supports and connects us, between us, and together with Him move from state to state.

The very first action is to return myself to the state of “There is none else besides Him” all the time. In order to connect myself with the upper force, I need to connect with the ten in order to return from there again to “There is none else besides Him.”

This is how I ascertain every state according to this formula: “Me, the Group, and the Creator.”

Prior to these four worlds, there was one Light of  Ein Sof, whose Name is One, in wondrous, hidden unity,

And even in the angels closest to Him

There is no force and no attainment in The Ein Sof,

As there is no mind of a created that could attain Him,

For He has no place, no boundary, no name.
(Ari, The Tree of Life)

Question: If the mind cannot attain the world of infinity, then why write about it?

Answer: An understanding that it is impossible to attain it is also an attainment. The fact is that there are degrees of attainment of the Creator, and among them there is a degree at which we simply cannot exist because we must be absolutely reborn in order to be at it.

In the future, when the whole creation becomes similar to the Creator, we will be able to reach this last degree. In the meantime, since we exist in separate states from each other, we can only attain the lower levels of the Creator.

Kabbalists write that the mind is a consequence of our desires. Therefore, without changing the desire, the mind, it is impossible to do anything. It is impossible to attain through the mind all the things we read about.

Question: Why does the realization of spiritual genes occur specifically in the connection between people?

Answer: Because the Creator created us as one person called Adam. Then He broke this concept, this spiritual image, into thousands of parts.

Despite the fact that we feel distant from each other, opposite, even reverse to each other, we must gather ourselves, in spite of the forces of rejection, into one image of this man—Adam.

That is, you realize your records (Reshimot) that exist in potential precisely in relation to other people.

Question: Does it mean that I do not have to realize anything by myself?

Answer: No. You must participate in a certain society and realize yourself together with it.

Question: Why did Baal HaSulam write and then burn his manuscripts?

Answer: Why give them to people if they will just confuse them? Today we have a lot of his manuscripts—some of them we have published, some of them we have not. What is the use of reading them if a person is not at this level? He does not even understand the words that are written there because they represent some sensations, definitions, and some levels in the world of Atzilut, for example, GAR de Atzilut.

What can he do with what he reads? He has some nonsense in his head.

Question: Explain the fact itself: why did he write this?

Answer: That is another thing. He wrote in order to help the world. When a Kabbalist expresses his revelations in written or oral form, at the same time he brings down the upper attainments into our world, he as if attracts the upper source into it, and he thus brings our world closer to the source of light. It helps us.

Baal HaSulam has done so much for our world! He has advanced it for hundreds of years, and for hundreds of difficult years at that.

Indeed, there is a prayer for it—that the Creator will help him by making him feel the love of his friend and make his friend close to his heart (Rabash, Letter No. 40).

I would say it in other words: when there is no distance between me and a friend, we have become so close, then the Creator appears in this absence of distance.

After all, He does not need any corporeal distances or places. He appears where this place no longer exists. If we create such a state between us, we will reveal the Creator in it.

Therefore, let’s direct our heart and attach our heart to the hearts of the friends in order to move forward a little more, and ask the Creator to reveal our movement toward Him and reveal Himself in it. This should work out.

Question: We are very eager to love our friends and to work in the center of the ten. How, based on this, can we pray for all the friends in Arava? I know you are saying, “You must try.” Maybe you can share your experience because we are going through a new state?

Answer: Prayer can happen in the case where you build the desired state that is in front of you for yourself, and you can reach it. In fact, that is a prayer.

Prayer should be in feeling, when you literally approach this state and build it in your imagination, feeling, mind, in everything you can, you literally put it in front of you and enter into it, and want to live in it.

Therefore, you should try hard. Try all together. We just need to see that these things should already materialize so that we can live by this.

Question: Do I connect with my friends at this convention physically the way we did at the convention in Arava?

Answer: Today we have much more opportunity than before to connect spiritually. Previously, many people came to us who did not know at all where they were going. Among them were those who were not in continuous contact with us.

Now we are in a state where we feel more, know more, see each other, are constantly in connection with each other, and we are strengthening it.

The world too, as we see, is constantly changing. We must understand that all these changes in the world are for the better. All this is only in order to bring us closer to the final correction so that we would shed our egoistic skin and unite with each other with naked hearts.

I hope this is our nearest future.

Question: What should be the main task of women during this congress of connection? How do we pray? How do we keep the intention? How do we help the men? How can we be in a unified state?

Answer: Women really know how to pray, they know how to ask. It is very important that they participate and add their prayers to ours.

We know how much a woman can support, push, and direct a man to the right goal. So I think their participation with us is simply a necessity. I am very glad that they are with us. Only together.

Why does disseminating the science of Kabbalah help us so much during a descent? The fact is that I receive the upper force through the people to whom I disseminate because in all of them there is the Creator, the Shechina.

And by advancing them to the Creator, I am doing a lot of useful work that pleases the Creator because He wants everyone to approach Him. Therefore, with my work, I bring good to everyone, including myself.
