The Creator in Hebrew is “Bore,” which means “come and see.”

The fact is that when a person attains the upper force, he calls it “Bore,” which emphasizes that the purpose of one’s development is to rise above the forces of this world, meaning above inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature, to the level of the Creator (Bore)—the basis of the whole nature of our world.

When we say “God,” we mean a common force that exists and dominates everything, including absolutely all the lower levels within itself.

And what animates, supports, and gives birth to everything around us we call “nature,” and it is still the same Creator.

It is written: “There is none else besides Him,” which means that there is nothing but one, single, and the only upper force that operates in the entire universe.

And the fact that it seems to us that there are many different, antagonistic, and even absolutely opposite forces in the world is because this upper force presents this to us in such a way and governs all the other forces that are under its full authority from above. In this way, it governs, guides, and develops us.

We cannot see that only one force drives everything because we do not have the qualities to perceive it. After all, in order to feel this force, it is necessary to correspond to it in some way. We notice any phenomenon in the world only to the extent that we have the same qualities inside us. If there are no such qualities in us, then we do not feel anything. Perhaps there are many interesting phenomena happening around us, but we do not feel them and thus do not suspect their existence.

We are inside the upper force beside which there is nothing and it controls everything. Yet, if we have some kind of conflict at work or at home, then we do not feel that there is some kind of force behind them that in a concealed way controls all the events of our life. After all, we are very far from this upper force and do not identify ourselves with it. Therefore, it seems to us that there are many forces and actions in reality fighting with one another and that the world is full of opposing forces.

If we, however, begin to attach it to the Creator as the only force and want to reveal Him, we will find that there is really only one force operating in the entire universe that is good and doing good to everyone: to the bad and to the good.

A person should try to reach the same attitude to the world in order to also become good who does good, like the Creator. Then we will feel how the good force of the Creator dominates the entire reality, and that in fact, there is none else besides Him.

Question: Why does nature need to push a Kabbalist forward if he already is in the revelation of the upper force?

Answer: Each of us receives an addition of egoism in order to ascend by correcting it. Additional egoism is revealed in us, we correct it again and ascend. Without egoism, we cannot ascend. This is why we need it.

Today we are in a global world in which we all are connected involuntarily. However, this state should be revealed not as a forced connection, but as a kind, good, voluntary, desirable one.

Question: How can we build the image of the Creator? What is His image?

Answer: When good is manifested between people, there you can reveal the Creator.

Comment: Good sounds somehow abstract. After all, everyone understands good in their own way.

My Response: It is not about good for you, but about good for others. When you do what others want, for their benefit, i.e., not what they want, but precisely for their benefit, then you reveal the property of the Creator.

Comment: It sounds very simple. When you look at the cosmos, you see a huge number of stars, so many laws, and everything there!

Answer: These are all inanimate objects.

Comment: But when we say that the Creator is just love and bestowal, it seems that this is very simplified.

My Response: It is not simplified, on the contrary, it is very difficult. In order to reproduce just one feeling, you would need millions of cosmoses.

Question: In principle, the Creator has been creating all the spectrums of our feelings inside us for billions of years. In order to be similar to Him, we must reproduce them by ourselves, right?

Answer: One small movement among themselves is enough for people to reproduce those huge forces that exist between all kinds of cosmic bodies.

Question: Is real egoism located in the masses who do not have to correct themselves?

Answer: No, the biggest egoism exists in a few people who are aimed toward spirituality, but precisely they correct it. If we look at this in the form of a pyramid, then at the top, in terms of quantity, there is a very small number of people who understand and realize the meaning of life and at the bottom there is a huge mass.

And if we examine the pyramid from the side of egoism, then it is the reverse picture where the few have the largest egoism, and the masses have the smallest. What egoism do they have? What do they need in life? Give them a little in this world: football, vacation, a bottle of beer, and TV.

Question: Do you want to say that even nowadays when the world is becoming global and moving toward correction, this division still remains?

Answer: No, it does not remain. The highest triangle and the lowest triangle symbolize the Star of David and in the end, it transforms into a circle.

​​After the absolute complete complementation occurs, the mutual inclusion of all parts into all parts, egoistic and altruistic, bestowing and receiving, lowest and highest, right and left, then the whole creation turns into one single sphere.

And this sphere that feels itself eternal, perfect, harmonious passes through the “eye of a needle” into the next dimension.

Question: Kabbalists very often used the term “tree” in their writings. It is clear that they were not writing about the tree as we understand this term in our world, but about the spiritual levels and states. What does the Tree of Life mean in relation to the spiritual development of a person?

Answer: The Tree of Life means that from the upper root, which is the Creator, a trunk and branches descend along which descend spiritual forces that nurture people, animals, and everything living in order to help them develop to the level where they become closer and closer to the Creator.

The vegetative world that emerges from the Creator exists in order to enable all living creatures and people to reach the level of the Creator.

From a spiritual point of view, the Tree of Life is an intermediate state between the upper Sefira Keter and the lower Sefira Malchut. That is why it exists to connect these two opposite categories: the Creator and the creation. In the form and to the extent that creation wants to become like the Creator, they receive this opportunity and unite with the Creator.

Comment: Very often, the Tree of Life is depicted in the form of a drawing with roots at the top and branches at the bottom.

My Response: Naturally, because the root is the Creator, and the branches are already lower, as cause and effect. The cause is always in the upper world and its effects are reflected in our world.

Question: You have repeatedly said that if a person does not listen to at least an hour of a lesson a day, then this, in principle, is a day thrown out of life. If we take our typical day, what things have to go through it in order for it to be effective?

Answer: During the day, a person should listen to my lessons, read the sources of Baal HaSulam and Rabash, get involved in communication with friends all over the world, and understand how his group, the ten, the closest environment to him, is moving. He must see what he is doing in order to somehow elevate himself up, at least in part. He needs to implement all this through dissemination, making contacts, and so on.

That is, his day should include studying and communication with his group, through it, with the Creator, and communication with the broad masses in order to bring them closer to a single system that strives to reveal the Creator.

This is a super-goal that a person should have in life. If he does not do this, then he is spiritually dead.

Comment: In the classical understanding of life, a person spends all day at work…

My Response: What difference does it make what he does physically? Today we have such a life that, in general, does not prevent him from performing his functions. But at the same time, his head, his goal, and life intentions can be completely different—directed toward a spiritual goal.

Question: Does a person perceive only one percent of what surrounds us?

Answer: Even less than that. Imagine, there is an enormous number of waves around us and of these waves, I perceive, say, only green waves. From all the huge radio, ultra, infra, and no matter what waves, I perceive only the part that passes to me through the green part of the spectrum. And that’s it.

Also our egoism, from the vast number of objects, states, connections and everything that happens outside of us, comprehends only the part that it can perceive.

And it perceives only a small part. That is why, it is very difficult for us if we approach serious micro phenomena in physics and biology. We are faced with a condition where, based on this small part that enters our senses, we cannot understand and draw a conclusion about something completed, big.

And the further we proceed, the more we will lack data, even conceptually, not to mention the fact that we simply do not see 99% of the world that surrounds us.

As long as any researcher, be it a biochemist, physicist, researcher of human society or cosmos, no matter who, does not attune himself to a non-egoistic, independent of  self perception, and becomes an objective researcher, we will not perceive the rest of the vast part of nature that is in front of us, but is not comprehended by us.

Question: When a person feels the control of the upper force, he clearly sees the reward and punishment. If so, where is his freedom of choice?

Answer: Freedom of choice is always to at least ask what else I can do to bring my qualities, actions, thoughts, and desires closer to equivalence of form with the Creator.

Question: Does a person who reveals the Creator clearly see punishment and reward?

Answer: Yes and no. It depends on what is best for his development. Either he conceals it from himself and does not want to see it so that his relationship is more honest and elevated or, vice versa, he does not conceal it from himself and checks how much it affects him in order to raise himself even higher, to a state where the result of the action will not affect his attitude.

Question: It turns out that the goal of the upper force is to separate our actions from the result so that there is no connection. Why?

Answer: You will not be able to act in bestowal if it depends on the result. The reward should be from the process itself.

If I am now trying to unite with other people or strive for the revelation of the upper force, then the process itself is the reward.

Question: The Creator and nature have the same numerical value of 86. This indicates that from the point of view of the Kabbalists who have attained this phenomenon, the Creator and nature are identical. What does this mean?

Answer: The Creator (Boreh) and nature (Teva) are one and the same. Everything that is around us, except for a small individual egoism of a person, is the Creator.

Question: How does it happen that nature and the Creator have the same numerical value?

Answer: It is the same. We are talking about things that exist. All of nature, everything that exists, is the Creator.

People who discovered this phenomenon called the Creator Boreh from the word “Bo u-Reh” (come and see). In this way we approach Him and examine Him, as it is said: “Taste the Creator,” like a child who puts everything in his mouth because taste is the strongest sensation.

We sometimes do not feel tactile sensations, but taste sensations are the closest to us.

Question: To see the Creator is somehow understandable. Hearing is even more understandable. But to taste…how is that?

Answer: To taste is the closest, the truest sensation of man because he absorbs everything inside and feels everything inside. And you can see and hear at some distance, i.e., these are secondary explorations.

Question: What does it mean to see the Creator?

Answer: It is the same as you see a person and can identify him by some signs and enter into some kind of contact with him.

Comment: It is easier with a person, we see him. But we do not see the Creator, He has no image.

My Response: Make it so that you can see the Creator. Here we are already starting to get interested in the wisdom of Kabbalah, the science of revealing the Creator.
