Understanding The Importance Of Bestowal

608.01Question: It is written in The Book of Zohar: The quality of Pharaoh lies within reason, and there is no way to get out of his control by reason, but only by the force of faith above reason. What is this force of faith?

Answer: It is bestowal above reception. If a person wants to move to a spiritual state, he must understand that everything spiritual is built on the quality of bestowal, when bestowal is more important to him than reception for his own sake.

Everything that he understands within reason and can explain to himself lies in his egoistic qualities. However, he wants to rise above them and acquire the quality of bestowal.

Correction Of Thoughts

943Question: What is the correction of our thoughts?

Answer: To become similar to the single thought, the unified field, that is called the Creator.

This thought should work for connection, for the integral orientation of the system, so that all the desires, everything we do in our world, in our life would be directed to the connection of our thoughts in this single thought as one single whole.

That is, each of us and all of us together should unite with the common field. By this, we will reach eternity, perfection, and absolute knowledge because everything comes from this field. After reaching this state, we will enter some other dimension.

A World Undisturbed By You

294.3Question: What does “the world outside of you undisturbed by you” mean?

Answer: This is a world into which you do not contribute any of your qualities. You will be able to feel it as it is.

Now, when I feel something, I feel in accordance with my senses, with those waves and impacts that I can perceive. And if I could sense what exists around me as an infinite number of frequencies, sounds, and colors, then I would feel the truth, that what is outside of me does not enter my box or felt somehow through my filters.

If I could feel this way and study the world in this way, it would be a true science. Kabbalah says that we need to reach such a state, an exit into a different perception of the world.

Sharp-Toothed Egoism

631.4“Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice?” Such questions arise when a person really wants to come closer to the Creator. There is only one answer: “I consider this necessary for me,” or as it is written: “Blunt its teeth.”

When no matter how many times I try to answer this question to myself and still do not see any results, and it arises in me again and again, then I just, do what is called, “blunt its teeth.” That is, I say to egoism: “I do not want to hear from you anymore! I go above you in faith above reason.”

Question: Is there any meaning in the fact that I “blunt” exactly “its teeth”?

Answer: Of course, 32 teeth are 32 millstones that grind knowledge. Then this knowledge can be absorbed by us.

It All Started With Pharaoh’s Daughter

509Question: What does the name of the Pharaoh’s daughter “Batya” (“Bat of Yod-Hey“) mean?

Answer: This is the name of the force of the Creator.

This is not a woman or a girl who pulled Moses out of the Nile, but a spiritual force that was manifested inside the soul. This force is called “Moses – Moshe” from the word “Limshoch” (to pull out). It pulls the desire called Moses out of the initial egoism, and then this desire rises to the quality of bestowal and love.

In other words, Pharaoh’s daughter is one of the qualities of egoism, which detaches from it and begins to work against her father, Pharaoh. We can say that this is a point in the heart, which then pulls out all the other desires.

It all started with Batya. She found Moses in the Nile, raised him, and accompanied him for a long time.

Narrow Band Of Knowledge

219.01Question: What do you mean by “thought”? What is the goal of creation?

Answer: By the goal of ​​creation, I mean one single thought that permeates, fills, and guides everything that exists in nature and that we feel in it.

In principle, we reveal nature in our senses, within the volume, the possibilities, and the limits in which we ourselves exist. The more we attain nature, the more we feel and, at the same time, reveal how limited we are. That is, I reveal some waves, some volumes, some possibilities and impossibilities at the same time.

Any revelation is some kind of private patch from the whole of nature, which only proves that it is really a very narrow strip of knowledge. As Newton said: “…to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”

And the sea is a huge universe. So before us, there is not this universe but in general everything, everything that exists in the universe.

The thought we reveal and everything that is subject to us both in Kabbalah and in the natural sciences, we attain in our senses, in our knowledge, in our tools and understandings. We should always speak in relation to a person who attains.

If I attain, then it means that it is me who attains in my senses, within my limitations. And therefore, it is all very relative.

Nevertheless, we attain some fundamental thought that underlies the entire universe, rules it and serves as its substrate, a base above which we can feel everything else.

We cannot even understand and realize the thought itself. We realize and understand how it guides us, how it clothes in us, affects us, and how we can affect it and be in contact with it.

Nevertheless, this is being in contact, this is mutual influence, this is no longer a thought itself, but work with its clothing in us and our entering it. That is, here we are already talking about a man himself, about the revelation related to him.

How Are Thoughts Transmitted?

290Question: How are thoughts transmitted between us? At what level does this happen?

Answer: Through the general field of thought in which we are located. This is how we interact in our Kabbalistic group. There are several million people in the world who are working together to unite precisely in adhesion with this field.

The task of Kabbalah is to bring each person to unite with others through a common field called the Creator. As a result, each of us must tune into the Creator and thus reach unity with each other and with the Creator. This is the objective of our development at this stage.

Question: Are there other stages after that?

Answer: After we reach complete correction, that is, complete similarity to the common field, complete unity between us in one single thought with this field, there is some further development. But Kabbalah does not talk about it because at the present stage we are just beginning to correct our nature and our thoughts in order to reach this state.

Kabbalistic Puzzle

219.01Some students complain that they do not understand the material that we study from the book The Study of the Ten Sefirot and are not able to feel it. This is not surprising, no one expects such an ability from them, but where is the correct reaction?

The entire study of the wisdom of Kabbalah happens through discovering that a person is deaf to it; he is not able to understand it with his mind and feel it with his heart. He does not understand what they want from him at all. After reading all these abstruse texts, he just wants to lie down on the sofa and close his eyes or at least turn on the TV or the Internet. This lack of understanding is not an innovation at all.

The innovation is that I go to the ten with this problem and try to assemble the answer there, like a puzzle, in order to understand what they want from me. I listen to my friends and talk to them, and you should not think that we are solving this issue with our own minds.

No, we turn to the Creator with this and demand from Him that He will teach us, connect us in the correct form, and reveal this picture between us so that we would understand it. It is called, “By Your actions, we know You.”

We need all the wisdom to be revealed in practice, in our connection. Otherwise, we will not be able to understand it. Kabbalah cannot be attained by the corporeal mind and feelings. It is said that “It is not the wise who learn.”

Even if you put Einstein or Nobel Laureates to study, nothing will help. Only the connection between us and the request to the Creator will help, and then the Creator will reveal the correct state between us, that is, the solution.

Therefore, the study does not require a lot of intelligence but rather, connection with the ten where everyone annuls himself before his friends and asks the Creator to reveal the state that we are studying to us inside the ten. After all, the group is the ten Sefirot, a spiritual structure where the answer can be revealed. This is called practical Kabbalah.

Therefore, I do not worry if the student does not understand the text. No one understands anything, and this is natural. All that is required of us is for everyone to unite and solve the problem by the method of practical Kabbalah, that is, by connection and not by intellect. After all, we are not at the university. If something is not clear to us, then we are really faced with a problem that requires a solution.

What Happened Before The Big Bang?

746.01Question: For decades, scientists have been puzzled over antimatter, which created the Big Bang and then, it seems, disappeared.

They say that the universe originated at the junction between matter and antimatter. And if matter can be investigated, then antimatter has disappeared from the universe at the moment.

Is it so? What happened before the Big Bang?

Answer: First of all, I would like us to move away from the concept of place, because everything that we feel and do not feel is in one volume. In our universe there are a huge number of all kinds of objects, forces, and phenomena that we do not notice, do not perceive, and therefore cannot investigate. We will never define them through our qualities, feelings,  science, and logic, and therefore, we will not study and learn anything about them.

We just need to understand that everything exists in the same volume, only it is concealed from us and more and more is hidden. We live within the framework of a special perception of ourselves as existing in time, in some kind of sequence. In fact, this is due to the consistent concealment of some forms from us and the revelation of others, which, accordingly, gives us a sense of time, some kind of process.

Kabbalah says that we do not need to go anywhere in time. Instead of going back 15 billion years, we just need to go inside and reveal what has always existed, only removed from us in sensation.

Let’s say, talking now, we can literally move away from each other with thoughts and feelings in a few seconds, stop instantly feeling each other. Which means, all this exists in us as if within the framework of time, yet it is not time, but sensation.

Time is a change of sensations. Therefore, we can go against time: backward, forward, in any direction. If at the same time we awaken all the past states in ourselves, then we will cause a sense of time and we will be able to go back.

And it is the same about you. Today I feel like an adult, elderly. But I can go back in time and feel like a little boy. All these scenes remain like windows in a computer, only overlaid on each other, and therefore, we can go through them in the opposite direction, summon them, and define them.

Regarding what happened before the Big Bang, we will never know in our current senses. We will come, as everywhere in science, to the border beyond which we cannot attain anything. Our matter will spread out there, turn, as we can already see, into waves, and waves into something incomprehensible, imperceptible. No matter what accelerators we build, no matter how we collide particles with huge energies, we will discover a reality that escapes us.

We will feel that it exists, but it exists somewhere here. And with our sense organs and measuring instruments, which practically only expand the range of human perception, we will never feel these phenomena, because they exist in another dimension. For this, we need a completely different mind, different feelings, and a different logic, which we do not have today. It’s a different nature.

Examining Desires

549.01Comment: When a force that reveals a point in the heart appears in a person, he begins to look for something. This point then pulls all his other desires out of egoism.

In principle a division and interconnection takes place here between different desires such as Egyptians, Israelis, and Pharaoh.

My Response: It all exists within one person. He must examine himself, which of his desires are at the level of our world and will not lead him anywhere, he will stay with them like an animal, and will die like that. Or his desires are able to pull him to the next level, and there he will exist in the feeling of the upper world.

Question: When a person leaves Egypt, does he consciously work with his desires, or does it happen automatically, like in a child who develops and only then understands what it all is about?

Answer: Gradually, a person begins to understand more and more consciously that there are such desires in him that can raise him above the nature of our world.
