Question: A person faces internal difficulties that he needs to overcome when in a Kabbalistic environment and while performing actions aimed at the common goal. Why does this happen?

Answer: Because we are within the framework of our world and have absolutely no contact with the spiritual world. It is possible to move to the spiritual world only if a person receives upper energy for ascent.

This happens only if you really want to break away from all the egoistic reasons that motivate you to act in this world and you perform an action that is outside of you, has nothing to do with you, and is directed only toward the Creator.

Since we do not feel the result of this action and do not have any profit from it, we do not have the energy to perform it. Our body (egoism) cannot work in this direction, and in this I feel completely disconnected from the opportunity to ever be in the spiritual world.

I see that this is highly unlikely because I am not some kind of engine that can work without energy. I am an engine that works with energy. The energy for me is the future reward, and then I have the ability to act.

In the beginning of the path, when I come to the group, I have the energy to act because I feel that they approve of me and I am together with them doing important work. I get involved, I am burning because here they talk about the purpose of creation, about the fact that the entire world will soon turn to this. The greatness of what we do arises in me. But it is still egoistic.

As I participate in everything and grow, an understanding arises in me that I am going to start acting on a completely different fuel, which is the fact that what I do is important to others and is for the benefit of the entire world so that some kind of Creator, some force, will receive contentment from it. And maybe even so that the entire world will feel good and the Creator as well, but they will not know about me at all, and even I myself will not know that I perform such kind, good, great actions.

Then the question arises: how can I perform them? What for? And most importantly, with what energy? Where is the completion of this task? My egoistic organism is not able to do anything if it does not see a better future state.

In our world, I can convince myself: if I do this, I will gain this, and if I do that, I will gain that, and so on. I always choose the most optimal state—to achieve maximum benefit with minimal effort.

Here, however, I have nothing at all. How can you apply some supernatural efforts without any benefit for yourself? That is, my engine does not work. Then there is a need for an environment, for help from above to come and give me such ability.

Yet, do I wish that I had such an ability to work on “air” and not on “gasoline”? It requires the joint efforts of friends, groups, and very strong support in order for a person to gradually approach such a need and understand that it is possible. After all, there is another participant in the process of correction, of coming to the perpetuum mobile: the upper light, the Creator.

It is better to call this “light” because we associate the Creator with some object and the upper light is more abstract. This is the quality of bestowal and love that can affect me and help me create such conditions.

Thus, a person, a group, the upper light, and dissemination, all these necessary conditions together gradually turn into sufficient conditions for a person to begin to receive upper energy, which gives him the ability to perform altruistic actions outside of himself.

This is how he comes to his first spiritual action and in it he begins to feel outside himself, that is, a completely different structure, system, and connection that is revealed between everyone. He sees this world as a corridor through which a person must pass to the upper world and begins to understand the meaning of everything that happens to him and to other people.

He receives a completely different attitude toward the group, toward his friends, he lives a new life; the eternity of the system in which he exists is revealed to him because he entered the level of Adam (man). Before that, we are considered animals because, in principle, we are the same highly developed but more corrupted animals. This is how we advance.

Question: Is there such a technique that when you want to convey internal information to someone, you yourself become lower than him?

Answer: You yourself do not become lower than him, but you deliberately make a conscious lowering in relation to him in order to help him enter into you, to come closer to you. Similarly, we talk to children in their language, relate to them according to how they can understand us, and explain everything to them while becoming as if we are like children ourselves. If I am talking to a child, I am not talking like an adult, but am trying to be on his level.

Question: Is it possible that you deliberately become lower than a person in order, on the contrary, to somehow enter into him and spread internal information in him?

Answer: No, you cannot spread information from your step down! The lower level will not be able to accept it. It will be like poison for it. Only if it rises to you, that is, acquires new Kelim (vessels), new desires, opportunities, and aspirations, then it can receive something in them in addition to its condition, and not otherwise.

There is no way you can go down and fill someone down there. You must help him rise up and fill him up there.

“There is none else besides Him” is the very first law that determines the attitude to nature, to the Creator, and speaks about the fact that there is no other force in reality. And a great number of different and, as it seems to us, opposing forces, actually come from the same source.

Although we are in very different relationships with each other, getting closer and moving away, all this love and hatred are born in us because we are guided by that one upper force, which is called the Creator.

A Kabbalist tries to see that in all of nature, behind all the events and actions of people, there is only one upper force. Such correction takes a long time, but as soon as a person starts working on it, he already feels a special attitude to the world, to reality, and to the upper force, and quickly begins to feel how the upper force influences him.

In practice, this work is carried out through a group, preferably no less than ten people, who try to establish between them relationships that are similar to the nature of the Creator, that is, to build such a system of mutual connections that exists in the upper force. In this way, they build a network from their connections, like a locator capable of catching and revealing the Creator.

Everyone can come to this and is even obliged to do that. Sooner or later, in this life or in the next one, a person will develop to a state where he will be able to reveal the Creator to the fullest.

Today’s world, with its wars and rapid growth of inflation and social problems, pushes us in this way to reveal the Creator as soon as possible, to get to know Him. Then all these troubles and misfortunes will turn into their opposite, into a good and happy world.

The main thing is not to forget that we are inside the Creator and there is none else besides Him. This upper force controls all the processes of our life, all our feelings, desires, thoughts, and all our relationships between people, countries, all inanimate matter, plants, and animals. The Creator operates in everything and fills everything with His force.

Instead of unconsciously obeying this concealed control, as is happening today, we can reveal the connections between all parts of creation explicitly. This will be the revelation of the Creator to the created beings.

To reveal the Creator means to reveal the love between all parts of creation. Now, instead of love, we see only hatred and hostility in the world. But this is done on purpose so that we will want correction, and instead of all these evil forces, we will reveal that only one force of good operates in the entire universe.

We just need to try to see the Creator behind each person, and you will see how the entire picture of the world begins to change.

Why does the Creator reject us? It is because He wants to show us a place where we can come closer to Him. And due to these rejections and rapprochements, we begin to feel our relationship with Him more and more and really come closer. It is impossible to feel coming closer if there was no distancing before.

After all, we, the created beings, are not able to feel any separate quality unless we compare one quality with another. Therefore, we perceive everything as “the advantage of light from darkness,” from contrast, from the opposition of distancing and coming closer, rejection and proximity.

If the Creator is good that does good, then why does He send us suffering? To hurry us to come closer to Him. Coming closer to the Creator is the best cure for all diseases. But you can come closer to Him only through the similarity of qualities: as He is merciful, so you become merciful.

That is, I must become kind and do good in relation to all created beings, like the Creator, and then I will reveal that the Creator really treats everyone with absolute good. In the meantime, I judge everything to the extent of my corruption, and therefore, the attitude of the Creator to the world seems evil to me because I myself am in the state of evil. If I correct myself, then I will reveal that the entire world is absolutely good, the Creator is present in the entire world and fills everyone, embraces everything.

I will see that everyone is absolutely happy! How can this be if now I see it in a completely different way, that evil is all around me? Correct yourself, and you will feel the Creator and His good attitude toward everyone because you yourself have achieved such good qualities.

To the extent that I become similar to the Creator by correcting my egoism and coming closer to goodness, I am able to justify the Creator. Yet, to the extent that uncorrected qualities remain in me, I see the world as bad and myself as unhappy.

Question: Why are there trees without fruit and trees with fruit? What does the actual fruit symbolize?

Answer: Look at how much we produce in the world and how little of what we do brings really good results. As a rule, most of our activities do not have good consequences, meaning fruits.

In the same way, all flora and fauna exist. To the extent that we would treat each other correctly, all plants would bear fruit and bear fruit well. They would give us their fruit exactly in the form in which we could use them.

Yet, since we turn on egoism in our interactions and do not want to treat each other correctly in the quality of bestowal, it turns out that only a small number of our actions have, what is called, a coefficient of performance for a good attitude toward others. As a consequence, we see this in plants as well.

In other words, the fruit symbolizes the end result, the pleasure for which we do some action. Therefore, a person in our world makes a lot of effort in order to obtain pleasure.

If we worked correctly for bestowal, for the sake of the Creator, then every action would bear fruit that we would enjoy. But since all this goes into egoism, we get only some small kinds of pleasures.

Baal HaSulam writes about this: And now, imagine that if we were to collect all the pleasures one feels during his seventy years of life and put it on one side, and collect all the pain and sorrow one feels on the other side, if we could see the outcome, we would prefer not to have been born at all.

We do not need proof to understand that nature is intelligent, because we exist inside the laws of nature, inside its rules, inside immutable or changing parameters. We ourselves are the consequences of these laws and rules.

So we do not have to prove anything, we are inside of it. You cannot tear yourself away from life, from the sun, the air, the grass, and the trees, even when you are in other places or on other planets. You cannot take yourself out of the context of nature, because you are an integral part of it.

When we study inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature, we see that they are governed by its general law, which leads them to a certain goal, a certain type, to birth, death, and so on.

If we look at ourselves, we do not feel this law. We can only guess about it, because it is above us, higher than we are. But the fact that this is a single law, the only one that dominates us, almost unceremoniously governs us without asking our consent, is evident at every step.

That is, you cannot speak of nature as something below yourself. Eventually, you are included in it as a small, insignificant unit.

Kabbalistic sources say that sleep is one-sixtieth part of death. This means that the whole Partzuf, the whole depth of a person’s attainment, is measured as six degrees: Hesed, Gevurah, Tifferet, Netzach, Hod, and Yesod. Each of these degrees consists of ten sub-degrees for a total of 60.

Such partial attainment of 60 sub-degrees relative to one hundred full degrees, including Keter, Hochma and Bina, is called “sleep.”

In other words, the human soul consists of ten Sefirot. When the light is in the last six Sefirot of VAK, it is called a “state of smallness” or a state of sleep.

When the light is in the head of the Partzuf, meaning in the first three Sefirot (GAR), this is called the complete state or the state of wakefulness.

A person should do everything possible in order not to miss a lesson. After all, you come not just to a lesson, but to a meeting with the Creator when you connect with your friends. Even if you do not feel this connection, the Creator knows about it and understands, sees you united, and takes care of you.

If you did not come to the lesson and neglect the opportunity to connect with the group, it means that you neglect the connection with the Creator. Therefore, you will get the corresponding result. Try to work in such a way that everyone awakens his friends!

It is revealed to everyone in their own ways and in different forms, but in the end, everyone is approaching the recognition that the entire universe is a single perfect system where everything is connected to each another. We are in the center of the universe and by our connection, we determine how quickly the entire world will be drawn to a common connection.

The connection in our Kabbalistic group will be revealed as a central, fateful, decisive factor for the entire world. Then we will feel love, hatred, and care directed at us, that is, all the feelings that humanity experiences toward us.

All these feelings are legitimate because it is we who are responsible for the universal correction. Soon it will begin to be revealed, like a sprout gradually comes out of a grain planted in the ground.

Question: There is the commandment: “You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain.” Why?

Answer: In Kabbalah, “do not do” is equivalent to “impossible.” You cannot reproduce the name of the Creator because for this you have to attune yourself correctly and make yourself similar to the Creator.

That is, do not do means simply impossible. It is impossible to reveal the Creator if you do not connect with other people, otherwise He simply is not revealed.

Question: Where is the Creator revealed? Where do I find Him?

Answer: Between people.
