What Is The Ark Of The Covenant?

937Question: What is The Ark of the Covenant?

Answer: The Ark of the Covenant (Aron Kodesh) is the place where the main desire of all people is placed, where they gather into one single desire.

Although it consists of a huge number of different desires, they all unite above them, and such union gives rise to the opportunity to be connected with the Creator.

That is, it is the most important spiritual force of the people, its central point.

Correction At The Lowest Stage

740.01Question: What does “man shoes” mean from the point of view of Kabbalah?

Answer: Shoes are like a protective shield, which should be at the last degree of human desire. Usually if a person is standing on holy ground or in a special place, then shoes are removed. This signifies that he is corrected and there is nothing in the whole set of his desires that wasn’t corrected.

And when he has egoistic desires, they all accumulate in his lowest degree, in his legs. Then he must put on shoes so as not to come into contact with the holy land.

If the Torah says that the order “take off your shoes” comes, it means that you have to check yourself and correct yourself at your lowest, heaviest degree. In other words, you are checking whether this degree matches the holy land.

What Does The Ability To See The Future Depend On?

962.2Question: Why does nature conceal information about the future from us?

Answer: To create in us the illusion of freewill. In Kabbalah, fortune-telling is forbidden, but we do not need it anyway. We only need to follow the rules of getting closer to each other according to the laws of nature.

Question: Then why are some people given the ability to foresee the future?

Answer: It is because they have different souls. We all have different souls. There are souls that are more developed, less developed, more shattered, less shattered, and so on. In different souls, there are different paths to perfection, to ascending to the level of bestowal, love, and connection with others because their basis is different by nature.

Question: Still, there were people who could predict the future. For example: Wolf Messing, Nostradamus. Why did nature give them such ability?

Answer: These people have a special sense. However, there is nothing supernatural in it. What does a fortune-teller mean? It is a person who sees a little more and further than ordinary people. In the same way, an adult is a fortune teller for a child. He can tell the child in advance what will be the result of what is happening now.

Question: How is it possible to predict the future if it depends on people’s actions?

Answer: At our level, everything depends on the person. And at a higher level, nothing depends on him. This is not a contradiction but really the same as in the case of an adult and a child.

Question: I have heard from you that earlier, when there were fewer people who wanted to unite and reveal the upper force, it was possible to predict how humanity would naturally develop. Today, however, when millions of people have such an opportunity, the future can no longer be predicted because these millions are building this future.

Answer: No. The millions who are building this future do not control anything either. They only confirm their commitment to the law of natural development: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Miracles And More!

276.02Question: In the book of Prophets (chapter “Joshua Ben Nun”) it is said that the Creator performs miracles: “And I will work miracles, and everyone will see it.” What should I feel while reading these lines?

Answer: The person writing this book, for example, Joshua himself, sees altruistic actions upon him, in him, and around him, above the egoistic nature (inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human). These actions can be called miracles.

Question: Joshua is the desire that exists in me?

Answer: If it is so manifested in a person, then he will feel what is written in the book.

Question: When the waters of the Jordan stop is it a miracle?

Answer: Yes. Everything that is against the egoistic nature of man is perceived by him as a miracle. When some egoistic thought and its flow stops, then something higher than this nature arises. This is absolutely normal in the spiritual world, but in the egoistic world, it is a miracle because it cannot be in it. Such a phenomenon arises only when we attain the upper world.

Fruit-Bearing Desire

509Question: What does it mean “they ate of the grain of the land”?

Answer: The desire that you correct becomes a fruit-bearing desire. It gives you the opportunity to exist.

You receive the light from the Creator. Those parts of the light that enter into your desire, fulfill, correct, and develop it are called “the grain of the land of Israel.”

Israel means “straight to the Creator.” In this way, a person establishes a connection between himself and the Creator.

The Inevitability Of Fate

760.3Question: Who determines the fate of a person? You write in your blog that fate depends on the root of one’s soul. Even the Creator does not determine this, but everything is written in the root of the soul. What are we talking about?

Answer: The root of a soul is the initial normative data in a person that he must implement.

These initial data, the so-called Reshimot, force a person to act in a certain way and lead him to his ideal state. What depends on a person is only the time he spends on the realization of this path: faster, slower, in a more comfortable way, or through suffering. In other words, the fate of a person is predetermined, but it depends on him how he will go through it, how long it will take, and how he will feel in these deterministic states.

Our freedom lies only in how to perceive the deterministic path of our development and how to implement it in the best way.

Question: So, I am just changing my reaction?

Answer: But this means a lot, because depending on our reaction, we influence the upper force in a positive or negative way.

Kabbalah—In Favor Of Our Internal Development

565.02Question: How can we distinguish laziness from dangerous, harmful inaction?

Answer: Laziness is a very useful property. If only it prevailed in humanity and did not push us to do all sorts of stupid things, then we would generally live well.

Everyone would move like a sloth. Do you know how they move? If we were all like that, it would be great!

Laziness is a very good property. It is not for nothing that the Torah says: “Sit and do nothing – better.” If you can do nothing, don’t. The world won’t stop. You will not stop this terrible progress, everything will spin. And you take part in it as much as you have to. But it’s no longer worth twitching somewhere and doing something.

In general, Kabbalah is not in favor of developing a person technically. It is for developing him only internally.

Why Are Miracles Performed?

610.2Question: What are miracles and why are they performed?

Answer: There are no miracles! There are no miracles in the world.

Question: Then what is presented in the Torah as miracles from above? For example: the Creator helping the Israelites, etc.

Answer: This allegorically describes the state of people who understand the Creator and His control of the world. For a person who attains this, everything is a miracle because he relates everything to the Creator.

Question: Why does the Creator do those miracles?

Answer: It is simply that all actions the Creator performs in nature are aimed at raising a person to His level, at teaching him. We constantly live in the Creator and we are always in His actions. The whole world is the actions of the Creator. And therefore, everything is a miracle.

Or you can say the opposite, that there are no miracles. We are in a system ruled by the Creator. Absolutely, completely, in everything! It depends on how we perceive this system. It all depends on the level a person is at, on his development.

And when it writes: “The Creator performed a miracle,” it means something unusual, not something that happens every day according to the program of creation.

Question: Why is the Creator doing this? Do people need proof?

Answer: This is necessary in order to shake a person, raise him to the next level of awareness, action, etc.

Comment: Still, a person is weak, he needs miracles.

My Response: No. He perceives revelation of the Creator in this way as kind of a reward, a connection with the Creator. But, in principle since we do not foresee these actions in advance, they are for us something extraordinary—a miracle.

Kabbalistic Terms: “To Hear,” “To See,” “The Sound Of The Horn”

237Question: What does “to hear” and “to see” mean in Kabbalah?

Answer: “To hear” is the level of Bina, “to see” is the level of Hochma.

If I am at the level of Bina, then I hear what the Creator tells me. And if I am at the level of Hochma, then I see my contact with the Creator, and this is already a huge level.

Question: What does the “sound of the horn” mean, from which the walls of Jericho fall?

Answer: This is a very large stage of mercy that destroys egoistic protection.

What Is MAN?

239Question: What is MAN?

Answer: MAN is what a person turns to the Creator with, but not something, as it were, that falls from above. From the Kabbalistic point of view, MAN is considered the opportunity to turn to the Creator. But this is a more serious, sane interpretation.

And when it is said that MAN falls from above, it means that a person who appeals to the Creator receives an answer from Him. This answer manages everything in a person and corrects him to the level where he begins to receive another contact with the Creator.
