On the Purim holiday, according to tradition, it is customary to make triangular cakes “Haman’s ears” (“Ozney Aman“). They are also called “Haman’s pockets” (“Kisei Aman“), which were supposed to be filled egoistically, but the evil forces did not succeed, and in the end we snack on them.

In addition, it is said that on Purim one must fall into such a state of intoxication in order not to distinguish Haman from Mordecai because in the corrected state we come to the fact that both Haman and Mordecai act on bestowal, which is called receiving for the sake of bestowal.

This is how the whole of nature is corrected. This state is a complete correction of egoism created by the Creator. We need to come to it. The Purim holiday symbolizes the absolute correction of all nature. We hope that it will be achieved in our time.

This is something that is still hidden from us. But now we are going through the process of correcting our egoism and are quite close to its completion.

Question: When Queen Esther asks King Ahasuerus to spare her people, he replies that he has already given instructions to destroy the Jews in all 127 countries and cannot cancel it. But he gives them the opportunity to defend themselves.

Why can’t he revoke his decree?

Answer: He has no right, because egoism must remain in nature. The whole of nature is under egoism, it is interconnected. The only thing that can be added is to do everything for the sake of connection and love. Therefore, it is said that the Kelim (vessels) come from Haman and their filling occurs through Mordechai.

Just as it is said in the Torah: “The hands of Esau, and the voice of Jacob.” Meaning, we should receive Kelim precisely from egoism. Corrected egoism is the vessel that will be filled with the revelation of the Creator.

But still the people are given the opportunity to defend themselves. This means making a restriction, a screen, and reflected light on yourself and filling yourself for the sake of others, becoming a transmitting link. Then all the light of infinity will pass through you. And you don’t have to be afraid that you will get it for yourself, because you are already aimed in advance to pass it on to others.

Question: Kabbalists write that The Book of Zohar reveals the secrets of the Torah and it is a commentary on the entire Tanakh. What secrets are there in the Torah?

Answer: A secret is something that we do not know, something that has not been revealed to us today. And if I study and reveal it, then the secret will come true. So a mystery is not something mystical, but something that is unknown to me and stands before me as desirable for revelation.

Question: Are there many such secrets in our world?

Answer: The only thing we don’t know is the upper force that created us, contains and controls us. This is what The Book of Zohar is about.

By working on a spiritual level, a person kills animalistic qualities within himself and allegedly eats them as a sacrifice in the Temple. This means that he already is using these qualities correctly.

However, we are not at such a level yet that we can correct ourselves in this way. This is why the Temple was ruined. It was not because it was attacked, rather it came to such a state through the fault of people who were supposed to perform internal corrections.

The egoistic Temple was destroyed, and now we can do only one thing—raise ourselves to such a level that it will be rebuilt, but in a spiritual, not in a corporeal, form.

By the way, in the old days, any person, even the one who is not from the people of Israel, could go to the Temple and participate in sacrifices and in prayer.

The Third Temple will be rebuilt not in the form of stones, but in the form of our inner qualities. It will be in the hearts of all of humanity. The temple represents the spiritual construction of the entire world.

The upper court does not judge the animalistic body whose death does not change anything. This is a judgment on one’s own egoism; a person judges himself and begins to feel that all the past within him must perish in order for him to be reborn and become different.

This is why when he evaluates himself he feels as if he is going through hell. This is written in The Book of Zohar, not in Dante’s poem.

Question: Does it mean that a person determines hell and heaven when he judges himself during his lifetime?

Answer: Of course! He feels his deeds, actions, and qualities like hell and heaven. And if he has not disengaged himself from egoism, then there is no heaven or hell for him. He has nothing to compare either of them with. He is just an animal.

When he breaks away from egoism, he sees his past egoistic states as hell, and his future altruistic connection with the Creator as heaven.

Question: Is it necessary to be afraid of curses?

Answer: It is necessary. You need to make people either not think about you at all or think well of you. They should feel that you are kind.

Question: And this will be protection from curses?

Answer: It depends on what state and what kind of society you are in. If you do all you can do to move humanity towards good… Naturally, there are many people who will see this as a movement toward evil. There’s nothing you can do about that.

Question: From the point of view of physics, the evil eye and curses do not seem to exist. But there is a theory of waves: if a person puts an evil eye on you, then it changes some physical parameters in the body, and the person really feels bad. Is this really so?

Answer: These are our desires, and desires are, in general, our physical actions.

Question: You say there are no material punishments and curses. As long as we remain in our egoistic desires and exist in them, this is the punishment and a curse. But what if you want to bless someone? What does it mean?

Answer: I can try to bring you closer to me and convince you with words, actions, and influence so that you appreciate the greatness of the forces of bestowal and love and try to connect with them.

Question: So, if I bless someone, does it mean that I wish him or even help him to reveal the upper force, the Creator?

Answer: Of course. This is the only blessing.

Question: Is there such a thing as blessing from the Creator? How can we feel it?

Answer: Usually it is still passed through people. If not through them, then a person does not feel in what way it comes to him. He sees only the consequence.

Question: There is such a thing as judgment day (in Hebrew, Yom Kippur). What does a person judge on this day?

Answer: This day is celebrated as a judgment day purely symbolically. On Yom Kippur a person must consider his own actions and be able to evaluate them as sinful. This is given to special individuals and not even in every generation.

And everything else are just theatrical performances from century to century played out among religious Jews.

Question: Your teacher Rabash says that the word “prayer” (“Tefila“) comes from the verb “LeHitpallel” – “to judge oneself.” From the point of view of Kabbalah is prayer judging?

Answer: Yes. A person judges himself and sees that his actions to some extent were absolutely unlawful, wrong. But this manifests itself only to the extent that he receives a certain fraction of the upper light. And in accordance with this light, with its properties, he can evaluate himself.

Question: In the article “The Last Generation,” Baal HaSulam touched upon the topic of justice in the future. I am interested in your opinion on this. I would like to know: will there be justice in the future generation?

Answer: In the future, a person will judge himself by knowing and understanding how to carry out this judgment upon himself. Everything will exist only for the sake of the common, collective good. And the so-called courts will help everyone rise above themselves and connect with each other and with the Creator.

They will allow each one to see at what level he is, what he has yet to correct, and which connections with others can lead to his correction.

Question: If the motivation of a person living in the last generation is to feel closeness to the Creator, to the quality of bestowal, and to become like Him in qualities, then can it happen that it is the respect he receives from society that will fuel him and not the very merging with the Creator?

Answer: It is basically the same thing.

Question: It turns out that I work for respect from society?

Answer: No, that is an absolutely egoistic reward. What is meant here is quite different.

I work for the society and I am ready to do anything for it. But in order to give my egoism the energy to work, I need to get fuel from this society. Therefore, I do everything I can to get a reward from it. And the reward is to receive energy from it so that I can give everything to society beyond my egoism.

Question: It turns out that the courts should not judge but educate a person?

Answer: Of course. They should engage in his spiritual advancement and create the right intention in a person.

Question: Do you think this will happen in the future?

Answer: This can happen even today. Let’s hope so.

Comment: The story “Megilat Ester” (“The Scroll of Esther”) begins with a great celebration. King Ahasuerus arranges a feast for his courtiers, which lasts 180 days. Then this feast continues for seven more days for all the people.

Moreover, the story lists the dishes and drinks in detail, as if it is of great interest to us what they drank and ate.

My Response: The fact is that this text encodes extensive information about nature about how we prepare ourselves for receiving the upper light, the revelation of the Creator, and so on. Everything is described under the guise of a meal.

A meal is the phenomenon of the revelation of the Creator.

Question: Why is it indicated that the feast lasted 180 days? What does it mean?

Answer: 180 days or half a year is allocated from above for the feast, and we must add from below in the form of a feast, a blessing in it and other fulfillments, we add through our presence to the complete Kli (Vessel), that is, to the complete state.

In addition, in the story of Purim, King Ahasuerus  represents the Creator. That is, Ahasuerus is Keter, and his associates are Hochma and Bina. Therefore, by a feast lasting 180 days, we mean Ohr Hozer (reflected light) and Ohr Yashar (direct light)—9 Sefirot and 10 Sefirot in each of them.

Then, it speaks about seven days of the feast for the people. Seven is a very remarkable number in Kabbalah.

The soul consists of two parts: GAR—Keter, Hochma, and Bina are the first three upper Sefirot or Rosh (Head) of the soul. Then comes the body of the soul: Hesed, Gevura, Tifferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, and Malchut—7 Sefirot.

The division of the 10 parts of the soul into three and seven stems from its work for bestowal. Therefore, the number seven is very important. It is in these seven Sefirot, that is, desires directed at bestowal, at the connection with each other and with the Creator, that all our work is done.

Comment: Can you imagine, encoding everything like that!

My Response: No, Kabbalists simply express themselves in this language, they understand what they are talking about. And if you do not understand, so be it. It is just like when you go into the garage and hear that something has short-circuited in the car, something has gone wrong, but you do not understand what exactly: the battery, the distributor or something else?
