Comment: Due to the fact that I have internal and external Kelim (vessels), I feel the world divided into an external part (people, society) and desires within me. Naturally, I am always ready to fill my desires, and I use those that seem external to me, for my own sake.

My Response: Such a picture of the world is manifested due to the shattering. When the common desire was shattered, it revealed all sorts of divisions in us into yours and mine.

At first a person felt everything only within himself. Such was Adam HaRishon who felt that it was all his. Then there was a shattering, and proceeding from the fact that everything was divided into mine and not mine, the external, egoism, and the desire to receive, appeared.

Thus, what is outside me, I see as something alien. Therefore I cannot understand why I should do something for the sake of others. And if I can somehow contact them, it is only in order to use them.

But by changing my attitude to external desires (Kelim), I, as it were, acquire the opportunity to return again to the state of Adam. Then I can feel the whole world as somewhat mine, and myself as the whole world. I will no longer feel the division into mine and yours, myself and strangers. I will feel an absolute connection with the entire universe.

Question: What is the correct way to realize the internal suffering of creation by connection with the Creator? How can one annul before the upper, before the group, the moment evil is revealed without harming the connection?

Answer: If you want to do it quickly, only with the support of your friends. The process is a little slower through reading the correct sources: the book Shamati, Rabash’s articles, Baal HaSulam’s and Rabash’s letters. But it happens best and fastest under the influence of the environment, i.e., the group, the ten.

If there is no group, then advancement slows down, it becomes very painful. No matter how much a person tries to study independently, in the end one still must find a group, enter it, and within it find oneself and act.

The entire reaction of a person to any influences in his life, but mainly to spiritual ones, should be in the ten. Whatever happens to him, if it is connected with his relation to the Creator, to his friends, to himself, no matter what, this is his spiritual part. He must realize it in the group because it is our soul.

A person by himself is a unit, one part of the spiritual body. When he connects with nine more, and they begin to form a spiritual framework, a spiritual diagram, they gradually connect and enter into each other more deeply. When this system suddenly begins to match the upper force of bestowal, connection, then love is felt in it. This power is called the Creator.

The correct connection of the ten gives the revelation of the Creator in it. The desire that the friends find in connection with each other is called a Partzuf, and the fulfillment in the Partzuf is the upper light of the Creator.

And if they make the house vacant, there will be room for idols. Do not fear the blaze of the swirling sword on the way of the tree of life. (Baal HaSulam, Letter 12)

Question: Does making the house vacant symbolize our freedom from thoughts in which there is no Creator?

Answer: Being free of thoughts in which there is no Creator means leaving the place clean for basic reasons and for other different reasons. If you believe that there is a force that operates in the world other than the Creator, it means that these reasons seemingly fill the whole Temple.

The Temple is the soul. It is the place that the Creator needs to fill with the attribute of love, bestowal, and faith above reason, which means that we have to vacate our egoism from this place.

Question: Does our unity take place on the level of faith above reason?

Answer: We cannot unite any other way, but only in faith above reason. Faith above reason refers to the fact that we have to ascend above our egoism to the attribute of bestowal, and only there can we unite.

Question: And does the descent take place when I descend to a thought in which there is no Creator?

Answer: Not only when I descend to a thought in which there is no Creator, but that there are also other forces that rule you and influence you.

What should we expect after the end of correction?

Question: What should a person do once he has found the Creator, once he has discovered the Creator inside him?

Answer: The state in which a person has fully attained the Creator is called the end of correction.

Then he begins the transition to the next phase, the upper world, where he already exists in absolute attainment of the upper creation.

We are currently going through a period of the correction of the souls starting from our world where we attain the upper world and fully ascend all the 125 levels.

Then when all the souls arrive at the end of correction and connect into one soul, one whole system of Adam, we will transcend to the next state.

I cannot say what that state is. I can guess, but I have not attained it yet. No one has attained it yet because basically we are all on the way to the end of correction after which will follow the next state.

Question: Did such a Torah character as Abraham ever live in our world?

Answer: Indeed, there was such a character in history. Abraham promoted the wisdom of Kabbalah, which he revealed to the residents of Babylon. He led several thousand people away from there and they joined his ideology. Rambam, a researcher who lived in the 12th century AD, more than two thousand years after Abraham, writes about that.

Abraham, who was a priest in ancient Babylon, discovered that creation has a certain path of development, a purpose, a beginning and an end. He revealed that there are forces that develop the whole of nature, especially man. This happens according to the law of the development of egoism on the part of nature and according to the law of development above egoism on the part of man, when he rises above the egoism growing in him.

The very idea and the entire system revealed by Abraham is called “Kabbalah.” He was the first to describe it in The Book of Creation (Sefer Yetzira).

Prior to that, he was an idol worshipper, like all the other Babylonians, and moreover, one of the main priests of King Nimrod. He and his father had their own business. They made statues of various idols and sold them. This is all described in the book of those times, The Great Commentary.

This business is thriving to this day. Even today people sell red strings, holy water, amulets, and so on. But then the quality of “Abraham” grows above all this, which helps a person to rise. Thus, this is also useful.

Question: What happened to Abraham that he abruptly changed so dramatically?

Answer: He discovered that his fellow citizens suddenly began to change. Instead of asking for health, fertility, or a good harvest, they began to wish each other evil, to compete, to hate each other. Each wanted to suppress the other.

Previously, a person wanted to feel good and others did not bother him much. Now he began to want to be bigger than others, better than others, stronger than others. Humiliation of others became a pleasure for him.

This is the result of increased egoism. People stopped communicating, stopped understanding each other. Everyone wanted to become the greatest, to subdue everything and everyone.

Looking at these terrible metamorphoses in the family, in society, everywhere, Abraham began to ask the question, “What is happening?” Then he revealed the entire perspective of the development of humanity. He realized that egoism, which is growing in us, is not just progressing, but developing in order for us to work with it in a different way.

Abraham was a great sage and thinker of that time. He thought, “What is all this for? Is it in order for me to hate others and for them to hate me? What is next? As a result, we will destroy each other, we will go to war against each other. No, nature is not like that. It is global, round, takes care of everyone, includes everything. It is like a mother!” When a person observes nature, he sees that.

Question: Why does it push people into conflict with each other and they kill each other?

Answer: It is not nature that pushes people, but human egoism. Nature itself is arranged very harmoniously.

This is the conclusion that Abraham came to. He realized that the only evil in the world is our egoism, which is constantly growing in us in order for us, despite its growth, to enter into harmony with nature, connect with it, rise above our egoism and begin to use it for bestowal, love, and connection with each other.

Prophets, Yeshua, 9:9, 9:11: And they said to him, “From a very distant land have your servants come, because of the Name of the Lord your God, for we have heard of His fame, and all that He did in Egypt.”

And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us saying, Take provision in your hand for the journey, and go towards them, and say to them, ‘We are your servants; and now make a covenant with us.’

After the capture of the cities of Jericho and Ai, everyone began to fear the Israelites, and the kings who were nearby gathered together to fight the Israelites.

And only the inhabitants of Gibeon acted cunningly. They pretended to be poor people who came from afar, and Joshua entered into an alliance with them that he would not touch them. Therefore, when he entered the city of Gibeon, he did not destroy it.

And then ordinary Israelis murmured: “Why didn’t we destroy this city?” To which they received the answer: “We have entered into an alliance with them.” That is, they mistakenly determined that these desires, their intentions are not hostile.

Question: Why if someone comes from afar they are not to be touched? What do you mean by near and far?

Answer: Near and far are determined not by distance but by ideology, by the anti-egoistic higher desire. The ideology of the Israelis is drawing together and worshiping one God, one power, the property of bestowal and love—“love your neighbor as yourself.”

All other kinds of forces, and there are a great many of them, are egoistic. Naturally, they are opposite to altruistic desires, they cannot be corrected, and they must be destroyed. First and foremost, the closest ones.

And the fact that the Israelis were mistaken and did not destroy the inhabitants of Gibeon who deceived them is only because they entered into a treaty with them. This is sacred: you promised, you must fulfill it. And although the inhabitants of Gibeon achieved this by deception, they thereby protected themselves from destruction.

Question: Why does everything repeat itself in the Torah? First Terah saw how his son Abraham was burned, and then Abraham had to kill his son Isaac.

Answer: This always happens. To rise above the next stage, you must destroy the previous stage inside yourself. Therefore, the parents, so to speak, die in a person, and the next degree arises inside him.

Abraham was not supposed to kill his son. He only had to restrict him in his movements. After all, Abraham is the right line, complete bestowal, and it cannot rise and do something if there is no next, left, egoistic force against it.

This is why there must be a restriction, the thing that is imposed on egoism, from the right line to the left one. Thus, the totality of the forces gathering inside him begins to manifest in a person.

Comment: This letter is a cry of the soul. “I am writing to you as the last resort. I am a long-term drug addict. Please help me get off!”

Answer: I do not have such a capacity to do something like this easily. The ability is only in you. You must get into an environment where this does not exist and cannot be. You must do things that will completely cut you off from this state. And then, after a fairly long time, you will be able to completely break away from this disorder.

Question: Psychology also says that it is necessary to find such an environment, sit down together, talk about it constantly, and so on. Practically, you are in favor of this materialistic psychology?

Answer: Yes, there is nothing else.

Question: Does the environment affect a person to such an extent?

Answer: Absolutely! If the environment can take him in, there is no escape for a person. Nowhere! Or he can then voluntarily enter this environment himself and expose himself to their influence.

Question: So, in general, he has only one way out?

Answer: Yes. Only to expose himself to the influence of the right environment.

Question: And what should a person do when he has such heavy withdrawal symptoms? Ups and downs, one way or another he will have them because he is already clearly trying to quit and not succeeding for a very long time.

Answer: There are things that I cannot imagine how humanity can fight against. Only if it were some kind of global or national program.

Question: But is it coming to this?

Answer: I hope so! It depends on the governments and they are not interested. It is better for them—let people smoke or do whatever and they will be doing their own stuff.

Question: Is the idea for people not to have social activities?

Answer: They do not need them. It is better to spend these billions on making people swallow drugs. Let them sniff, chew, no matter what they do.

Question: Now is the time of drugs, a person wants more and more to get away from this reality. Is this happening precisely in order to bring people to something?

Answer: To bring them to a state where they understand what kind of world they live in, to see, learn, and feel that this world needs them and they need it, that there is an opportunity here, like Pinocchio, to open the door and take a peek into another world, to get there behind this hearth.

A person must make sure that his nature is absolute harmful to himself and to others and decide voluntarily to change himself. And then everything will change.

Question: If this guy slowly comes to this idea with the help of the environment, then will he come out of this state?

Answer: Yes. Then he will come out. Otherwise he will not find anything. Of course, in my dreams I would like to create such societies, large groups, that would help each other, spend time together from morning to evening and from evening to morning.

In principle, humanity can do this very quickly. Can you imagine a huge number of people do not need any work? They only need to be trained and they, in turn, will teach others. We can go through this very quickly.

Question: With the help of these social circles? Even virtual ones?

Answer: Of course!

Question: And this is how humanity will move forward all the time—helping each other. And what are they moving toward? What would you direct all these circles to if this is your dream?

Answer: To the fact that they connect more and more with each other, and in the right connection between them, they begin to reveal the true meaning of existence, of nature.

They discover in nature a single inner force, connection, love, mutual integration, connection. Apart from that, there is nothing else. All of nature merges into one single force—mutual bestowal.

Prophets, Joshua, 10:12-14: Then Joshua spoke to the Lord on the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, “Sun, stand still upon Gibeon, and Moon in the valley of Ajalon.”

And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. So the sun stood still in the midst of the heaven, and it did not hasten to go down exactly a whole day.

And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened to the voice of a man, for the Lord fought for Israel.

Question: For the first time, Joshua commands the Creator and the sun stops. What does it mean that the Creator listens to a person?

Answer: This is a spiritual state when a person feels that he can command his desires in such a way that even the upper force goes along with him, as if obeying him, listening to him. This happens at a certain stage, for example, when the desire of Zeir Anpin rises and Bina fulfills it.

The phrase “My sons have defeated Me” also relates to this. This happens throughout history if we act correctly.

Question: What does it mean to defeat the Creator?

Answer: The Creator as if is saying, “I have created in them the will to receive, and they wanted to use it in order to bestow, in order to be like Me. It turns out that they have defeated Me, and I am very happy about it. After all, the desire to bestow is My true, deepest desire, my quality. I am pleased with the fact that they rejected the opposite quality (to receive) and want to be like Me (to bestow). After all, they have defeated the nature that I created in them and proved that they are devoted to Me, that they love Me more than themselves. Thus, they raise Me above their nature, and truly put Me as the Creator over themselves.”

And it was when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war that went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon their necks.

And Joshua said to them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage, for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom you fight. (Joshua 10:24-10-25)

“Putting your feet upon the necks of these kings” means mastering these desires for the sake of bestowal, for the sake of serving the Creator. This means that you put yourself above others because you can control egoistic desires, and this is not easy. In this way you conquer the egoistic steps.

Question: Is this close to what Kabbalah says that the upper extends his part down to the lower?

Answer: No, there we are talking about cooperation in order to raise the lower one to the next level, and here it is about suppressing egoistic desires.

There are four types of mortification of egoism, which depend on the level of egoistic desire, and each of the four levels needs to be corrected.
