Comment: Rosh Hashanah (the New Year) dates back to the day when the first man, Adam, was born in 3,760 B.C. He attained the spiritual system we call the Creator.

My Response: Adam is the first man born spiritually in our world. There were people on Earth before him, and he was the first person who reached the spiritual level. That is why he was called Adam, from the word “Edome”—similar to the upper force.

Question: Now we say that each of us must also become Adam. Let’s say, I want to reveal this upper force. What is this state?

Answer: We cannot reveal this force through our inner intuition like Adam or people after him. But he immediately began to develop a method of attaining the upper force and even wrote the book The Angel Raziel (Raziel HaMalach).

This went on for a long time until this knowledge reached Abraham and his followers.

The science of Kabbalah—meaning “receiving”— studies how to attain, receive, and reveal this upper force called the Creator while living in our world.

Question: Our desires are constantly evolving from basic ones: for food, sex, family, safety, to desires for power and wealth. Several hundred years ago, a desire for knowledge appeared in humans. And when the desire to attain the root cause manifested in him, that is, to find out what the meaning of life is, does this mean that the desire of Adam is manifesting?

Answer: Yes, he should raise a human inside. And when the desire to attain the root cause is realized inside him for the first time, then it is considered that man was born in him.

Question: Who is Eve?

Answer: Hava (Eve) is his desire in connection with which he attains the Creator.

The fact is that a spiritual desire is split into male and female parts, into right and left lines called Adam and Hava. And the attainment of the Creator is born precisely on the connection between them.

Question: Can the screen be a group screen?

Answer: No. Only a personal screen.

The group screen is created when the screens of individual people in the process of their joint work are added together and form one common system called a Partzuf.

A Partzuf is a corrected desire in which calculations take place. And the screen is an opportunity to make objective calculations, not for your own sake.

For everything that I enjoy for my own sake, there should be a restriction, the so-called Ttzimtzum, rejection of reception for myself, and a gradual transition to receiving pleasure for the sake of others, that is, to bestow, to love, to rise above myself in order to transmit to others.

This is one part of the screen, called vessels of bestowal (Kelim de Hashpaa), the degree of Bina. And the next level of the screen is the ability to receive for the sake of giving, the level of Hochma, Keter.

Question: What is the difference between the restriction and the screen?

Answer: The restriction is done on desire, so as not to fill it. And the screen is necessary in order to work with this desire for bestowal, for filling outside of oneself.

The restriction means that a person wants to rise above this world, but has not yet done it. He can rise only to the extent that he will work with anti-egoism, that is, with the screen.

Question: What are the three components: Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama?

Answer: They are the three stages of spiritual development when we ascend from our world, from our current state of search, darkness, misunderstanding, confusion, detachment, and emptiness that humanity is experiencing today. Now almost everyone in the world goes through states that lead us to spiritual birth.

It is a feeling of an ending, a feeling of limitation, a lack of perspective, a desire for something to develop because we are disappointed in our development since it brings us only continuous disappointments and even greater emptiness.

All these states are very useful and represent exactly those forces by which we rise from our world to the first spiritual world, the world of Assiya, and enter the real intrauterine development and start to feel to some extent the presence of the upper.

We start to feel that we are inside a global nature, which is a single organism that affects all of humanity, the whole world, and even something more—some kind of thought, plan, beginning, end, goal, and process within which we exist.

Attainment of this is attaining the level of Nefesh and the world of Assiya.

Question: In which sources was the term “Screen” (Masach in Hebrew) first used?

Answer: This term appears in the Torah, in The Book of Zohar, and in other Kabbalistic books. Except for the Kabbalists you cannot find it anywhere. After all, the inner meaning of the Torah is attained only with the screen. The great Kabbalist Ari introduced this term for wide use.

Question: Did your teacher use it often?

Answer: Of course. Everywhere. From Ari onwards, you can explain the behavior of a Kabbalist with the term “Masach” (Screen).

Question: Suppose the Creator is revealed in a specific ten that works correctly, let’s call Him Creator 1. Suppose the Creator is also revealed in another ten, let’s call Him Creator 2. Then there is a special event, like a convention, for example, in which the two tens unite as one and Creator 3 appears in them.

Can we say that the history of Creator 1 and Creator 2 is in Creator 3 or that this Creator is unique because the moment of unity between the two tens is unique?

Answer: The Creator is one everywhere. It is the only force that is revealed in every ten according to its unity.

The Creator has only one attribute, the attribute of absolute love and bestowal. You will reveal Him to the extent that you resemble this attribute.

Zohar for All, Lech Lecha, Item 104: When the Ruach comes out of this world and enters the cave of Adam haRishon and the patriarchs, they give him there a letter as a sign, and he goes to the Garden of Eden. When he approaches, he meets the Cherubim there and that flaming sword which turns every way. If he is rewarded, they see the letter that is the sign, open the gate for him, and he enters. If not, they repel him outside.

From the spiritual point of view, a cave is a place where a person spends nine months of intrauterine development and then he lives there. In other words, a cave is an inanimate level of the habitat surrounding you. Initially, people lived in caves because the microclimate of a cave is the best for man. People knew how to choose a favorable place to live.

A cave has special properties; we are surrounded by the power of the Earth from all sides. We do not feel it because today we live in high-rise buildings, on floors above the ground. And according to Kabbalah, a person should not get too far away from it.

Of course, in our time, all this does not really matter anymore. We must use other forces.

When a person reaches the state of entering the cave of the forefathers where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are located, the three lines, he meets these basic root properties of his soul. Adam HaRishon, from whom these three spiritual properties come, is also there.

This cave is also called Machpelah, which means double cave, that is, the union of Bina and Malchut.

It is not just one cave. We can say that there is another one in it: Malchut and Bina in Malchut, or Bina and Malchut in Bina. That is, from the two properties of Bina and Malchut, four properties are obtained: Malchut, Bina, Bina in Malchut, and Malchut in Bina.

These are the four properties called by the name of the Creator: Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey or HaVaYaH. When a person discovers them in himself and shapes them correctly, he starts to perceive who created him and who directs him.

The four letters give him the first spiritual quality on which he ascends and becomes more and more similar to the Creator. Thus, he reaches the gates of the Garden of Eden. If he prepares correctly, then the angels, that is, forces, that should now reveal in him the state called the Garden of Eden act on him.

And if he is not prepared, then even despite the fact that he has received all the makings below: both the meeting of the Forefathers and the so-called letter (Igeret, Mikhtav), he does not reach the level of the Garden of Eden, he cannot reveal this property in himself, and he must go down and start his ascent again.

Question: The screen is a force that allows me to make calculations not for my own sake. Does a person make such calculations for any desires that arise in him or for special ones?

Answer: Basically on any but only to the extent that I have the strength to cope with them.

Question: There are basic desires related to the human body. Do we need to make these calculations on them too?

Answer: A person should make a restriction (Tzimtzum) on all the desires that he feels as a source of pleasure. At that, he stops receiving this pleasure and rises above it.

Basic desires are ordinary desires for food, sex, family, and security. They are not difficult to work with. It is much harder to work with spiritual desires.

And now, divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh.

Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel made by fire are his inheritance, as He said to him. (Prophets, Joshua, 13:7, 13:14)

The tribe of Levi symbolizes the quality of Bina. Therefore, they must be priests, Levites, and rely on nothing, not on any land.
Levites are absolutely pure bestowal without land, without any allotment. They do not have anything of their own.

On the one hand, it seems to be easier this way because you do not have any desires to work on. On the other hand, you exist only in this, and all the tribes, all the people, are under you. You have to serve them, carry out the quality of bestowal on them.

The Levites have no concept of living for themselves. And to this Cohens add work for bestowal.

Question: Where is the screen located, in the mind or in the feelings?

Answer: The screen is located in the same place as the desire. As soon as a desire manifests itself in a person, one can obtain the intention to use this desire to rise above it. This is the creation of the screen.

Question: Is it possible to create a screen without a group, by oneself only by reading books?

Answer: In principle it is possible, and not only by reading books. But it is much more difficult than in the group.

The group helps by attracting the upper light, the influence of the Creator, in such a way that a person receives an upper force and creates a screen.

Zohar for All, Lech Lecha, Item 105: It is also written that when the Ruach comes out of this world and enters the cave of Adam haRishon and the patriarchs, they give him there a letter as a sign, since the harsh Klipa, the grave, does not govern the Ruach, but requires mitigation from Bina once again. Hence, it enters the Cave of Machpelah, the place of mitigation of the two letters Hey together, which are Malchut and Bina. This mitigation is called “a notebook,” which is a folded letter, like the fetus in its mother’s womb, which is folded like a notebook, its head on its knees, indicating the ascent of NHY to HGT, three within three.

When the NHY is included in the HGT, the baby does not have the concept of above and below—the lower and upper parts of his body are folded together. Being inside the mother in a folded state, he is like a “message.” This means that inside this state is the entire record of his spiritual information, everything that will later develop from him.

And when he comes out, he opens up like opening a letter, and as a result, he begins to read his DNA, his spiritual gene: everything the Creator wrote in it.

According to this message, a person begins to develop, gradually reading his entire fate along the lines, passing it in reality. This is why it is called that a person represents a “message” or a “book.”

Question: What does folded state mean?

Answer: The fact is that he must be folded because at first he is only a point, there are no realizations, no sensations in him yet, he is not yet unfolded before himself, he has not yet begun to read.

It is like a book that when you open it, you begin to understand what it is about. And before that, the book of your fate and your life is closed because you are in the state of “inside the womb,” in the dark.

Thus, a person receives a “message” from the previous degree when while in our world he did not feel himself at all and did not know about the point in the heart, about the book, or about this message. This is the “book of fate”.
