Question: Does a prophecy work by itself or do we need people who support and explain it? Is it possible to turn to prophecy and find out what will happen? How does this system work?

Answer: I cannot say how this system works. However, the fact is that the general principles of the spiritual world, its laws, are explained in Kabbalistic books. I have, at least, described them all, and for many years I have been teaching classes on these topics every day. So, I have nothing much to add here.

Regarding the future, in principle, it is already possible to talk about it in our times because we are at the end of days, the end of times. I think there is nothing special to add here either.

It is only a question of how to rise to the last degree: either by good forces, which we must develop and invoke ourselves and summon from nature, or by evil forces. If we do not invoke good forces, then evil, egoistic forces will push us to this “by a stick to happiness,” as they say.

Question: Does it mean that humanity is facing the last degree?

Answer: In general, yes. It consists of several stages: preparation, action, then reception, awareness, and feeling. Now we are in the preparation period.

Question: Which pleasures does the wisdom of Kabbalah promise us?

Answer: It is very hard to imagine the pleasures that the wisdom of Kabbalah gives us, because all the pleasures of our world are but one gram compared to the millions of tons of pleasures in the spiritual world.

After all, we are very limited. How much can we eat, drink, rest, and enjoy anything? Everything comes to an end, even our life, because it is built on the attribute of receiving for our own sake. The wisdom of Kabbalah, on the other hand, takes us out of this world and into a world of bestowal, a world of love, a world of infinite emotions that exist externally to us. This is the reason that we cannot even measure what the wisdom of Kabbalah gives us.

These are values that are totally incompatible with us. In the spiritual world you begin to see the reason for life, how it is arranged, what it leads to, what happened to you before you were born into this world and what will happen to you when you leave this world. Nothing is concealed. Everything happens during the same period of time that we exist.

Your eyes open and you are no longer blind like all the other people in this world who live like beasts and have nothing beyond their corporeal lives. You begin to feel a healthy, accurate attitude to life and to the world. This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah gives us first and foremost.

Question: Moses (the quality of mercy, Hessed) cannot enter the land of Israel because by and large he is not a warrior, right?

Answer: He is a spiritual leader. He cannot exist in the land of Israel since all the parts of the people, i.e., all the egoistic qualities, must break themselves, remake, combine, find the system of anti-egoistic interaction, and be able to connect with each other in the right combinations between them.

They need to eliminate all egoistic inclinations and determine something that is absolutely opposite to them. They should expel those qualities, the so-called nations that existed in the land of Israel before from themselves and leave only the quality of good, love, connection, and mutual support. This work can be performed only in the land of Israel.

Moses, however, cannot work in this way. He only explains it to them. Moses is a great spiritual teacher, a spiritual force that accompanies the people and leads them on to final correction, but does not interfere with their actions.

Starting from entering the land of Israel, they act completely independently, disconnected from all the governing spiritual forces. This is the stage when a person ceases to be a child, passes through youth, grows up, and, as a mature person, begins to live by himself.

Question: Why in the parable of “The King and the Slave” does the king discover a flaw in his plan and instead of correcting the plan asks his minister to disguise himself as a rebel in the kingdom?

Answer: The plans, which the ministers design and prepare, are derived from our egoistic impulses. Which is to say, we are the authors of these plans.

The “ministers” are my inner characteristics with which it seems to me that I can run the world. But when I don’t succeed, I acknowledge my mistake, change my plans, act in another, wiser manner, and approach the Creator that way.

Everything that is mentioned in the parable of the king, the servant, and the ministers happens in a person himself. The Creator, the servant, and the ministers are found in a person, and the struggle also happens in a person. The Torah is only talking about one person.

Every moment we are given the opportunity to clarify new states (Reshimot) from the shattering. We can scrutinize them in a corporeal way as the whole world does or we can scrutinize them in a spiritual way, which implies a completely different speed and a different solution for all states.

If we process the Reshimot in a spiritual way, then we want to come closer to the Creator with each Reshimo (state). Yet, in corporeal Reshimot, we do not pay attention to that and automatically go through all the states, like inanimate nature, plants, and animals.

Therefore, if we work with the states in a spiritual form, then everyone has the opportunity to correct the root of their soul and integrate with the common soul of Adam. By this we fulfill our mission in this world and we will be able to continue on the other level, on a completely different, spiritual level of existence.

Thus, the main thing is overcoming, rising above each and every state, until we bring it to a spiritual link: I + group + the Creator, that is, Israel, the Torah, and the Creator are one, they are all together. If I achieve such unity no matter at what degree and under what conditions, if I think about that and yearn to connect them together, then I awaken the shattered Reshimot inside my soul and correct my soul in a continuous way.

If I want every state to happen in this way, then I fulfill my purpose in life.

Question: What does it feel like for a person who ascends to the level of Abraham?

Answer: Abraham is a spiritual level that a person can attain when he receives from the Creator everything that should descend to the creatures.

From the Creator to the creatures descend the first three Sefirot, the three emanations: Keter, Hochma, and Bina. The highest level that the Creator gives to the creatures is on the Sefira Hesed (mercy).

Abraham represents the quality of Hesed, which means that he is merciful, responsive, incorporates everyone, feels everyone, and in no case connects it with himself, but raises everyone above himself.

Question: Abraham was the twentieth in the line of all the sages, starting from Adam, who lived 5,781 years ago. Why is the number 20 indicated in the Tanakh, and not 17 or 28?

Answer: There are different opinions on this topic, in particular, that these are the 10 Sefirot of direct light and the 10 Sefirot of reflected light. I believe that any higher spiritual impact usually descends on the right line, on the left line, and in the middle between them reaches the state called Abraham.

We can also say that in relation to the Creator, Abraham is the highest point, the highest quality of creation. We cannot go any higher. This is the quality closest to the Creator that a person discovers in himself.

Question: When you say that all nations and the entire Earth will become the land of Israel, what do you mean? Will all nations become Israelites?

Answer: It means that all nations will turn to the Creator in the sense that they will accept the property of bestowal and love as a fundamental quality in their lives. All they will want is to come to this property. Then, wherever they are, this land can be called the land of Israel.

Question: Even geographically in Alaska, South Africa, and so on?

Answer: It does not matter where or which places. We must correct all our desires, and accordingly, all lands on the surface of our planet will be corrected, everything will be in order, and apple trees will blossom everywhere.

Question: Two powers are described in the “Scroll of Esther”: Mordecai and Haman. What do they represent?

Answer: Mordecai is the power of Bina, the property of bestowal, love, and connection. Haman is an egoistic force, the property of separation and destruction. But neither force can act without the other.

Their correct combination is necessary in order to bring all of humanity to its complete, ideal state when, on one hand, all egoistic forces exist in their terrible form, and on the other hand, they are ruled by the power of connection, the power of love.

Then both forces, negative and positive, work together for all of humanity, like electric forces, plus and minus, work in a motor or in some kind of machine. Thus, we need to understand how we should act.

Question: That is, each force has its own function. But why, then, does the scroll say that the power of Haman is destroyed?

Answer: The fact is that there are still many nuances here. It is not force that is destroyed, but the egoistic intention, how to use force correctly.

Question: Is Haman the intention to receive for oneself and not the desire to receive itself?

Answer: Intention for your own sake. The desire to receive is neutral, it is nature itself.

Question: How often is the light on in your “basement”? What is the internal feeling that you have during such moments?

Answer: I do not sit in the basement. For me, the whole world is the revelation of the Creator in both good and bad states. I enjoy all His revelations because He is one and there is nothing other than Him.

It is a state worth living for. It is the feeling of eternity and wholeness, and although a person is not perfect, it is revealed to him.

Question: Is everything that surrounds you really the revelation of the Creator’s goodness?

Answer: Of course. It is like the tale of the rich man’s son. Even if it seemed to the son that his father treated him cruelly, everything was actually planned very carefully with the understanding human nature and the need to prepare his son for eternal and perfect reign in an eternal world.

Question: What is the connection between “Oznei Haman” (ears of Haman) and “Kisim Haman” (pockets of Haman).

Answer: The ears of Haman symbolize the property of Bina, which works for Malchut (egoism) when we are ready to give something for the sake of our own fulfillment. This is such a sophisticated egoism: giving for the sake of receiving. I am ready to give something in order to get more.

And the pockets of Haman are already purely egoistic desires that I want to fulfill.

The property of Haman works in us very intelligently. Haman says that there are people who create many problems for us and we do not know what to do. He wants to overthrow the king, etc. That is, he uses the properties of Bina, the properties of bestowal. He supposedly wants to do good. And therefore, he believes that these people must be destroyed.
