Question: It says that the ten Sefirot are the names of the Creator. Can we say that the sparks that are called a thin candle and that sustain our world are the names of the Creator?

Answer: No. The 618 sparks are not lights, but small illuminations that lead us forward. They are not names of the Creator.

The name of the Creator is the direct light that enters Keter, Hochma, Bina, Zeir Anpin, and Malchut. When the light reaches Malchut it is reflected backward.

These lights are clothed in each other and create a complex light, which means that a spiritual disturbance takes place in them. Each light is clothed unto the light that is opposite from it, and the combinations between them create the name of the Creator.
It is a very complex system, the connection of the reflected light with the lights that enter.

Question: The Creator is the root cause. I attain some kind of force that created me. I am the will to receive and there is some force called “the will to bestow.” In order to attain this force, do I need to bestow to the neighbor, that is, to the other person?

Answer: This action is a kind of teaching action, a means to attract upon me the help of this bestowing force, called the Creator, which in this case would simply reformat me.

Question: Does it mean that we cannot contact Him directly, but only through other people?

Answer: No. How can you? You do not have any common qualities, traits, or actions with Him. However, to the extent that you can learn to bestow through the group of other people, you begin to feel the Creator in these actions.

Question: And then I do not need other people, right? Are they just a means?

Answer: In principle, I need other people because only through them do I discover the Creator and can I be connected to Him.

In my final correction, when absolutely all my desires and intentions are corrected inversely from “for my own sake” to “for the sake of others,” I reach the state of my complete correction. That is, from an absolute egoist, the way I am today, I become an absolute altruist, as all our evolution requires of me, which eventually leads us to this.

Thus, the Creator, this force of good, the force of a kind attitude, connection, and love, as if, fills me. This means that I have fully attained the upper world.

Comment: It is not clear why the Kabbalists wrote so secretly about this: “for the sake of the Creator.”

My Response: No, they understood that “for the sake of the Creator” means not for the sake of the stars, not for the sake of the clouds. I believe that the simpler and closer to us we explain it, the better.

Yet, this is still not close. When a person begins to try to do something for the sake of others, he immediately finds himself thinking about himself: “Where am I? What about me? What do I get out of it?” and so on. That is, he understands that here in front of him is a very serious block, an obstacle, some kind of force boundary, a great psychological problem that he simply cannot overcome.

Question: Is the entire point of Kabbalah in this?

Answer: Only in this! We do not need anything else in our world. We suffer in this world only in order for these sufferings to drive us to change of our nature.

Question: That is, to the changing of our intention? What am I doing this action for?

Answer: Yes. Good luck with that!

We must connect all the opposite parts of creation and connect with the Creator. But first, we must discover these opposites in the entire creation and be convinced that it is impossible to connect them together.

Only because we are in this corporeal imaginary world can we imagine that two parts of creation can connect. But gradually, this deception will be revealed.

This is what happens today when we find that we cannot get along with each other, we cannot get close and be friends. We tolerate each other only out of necessity, subconsciously making an egoistic calculation that it is more profitable to live in peace, or we simply will not survive. But this does not mean that we complement each other and use our oppositeness to our advantage.

We still have a lot of work to do to find out that any detail of creation that we are able to distinguish is revealed to us only through the presence of the opposite quality. And so, day by day, we will find ourselves in an increasingly broken world.

And although we are already accustomed to such an existence, we must admit that our whole reality is completely egoistic, that no one supports another, and that no one wants the others to exist in the way they want to.

So, we come to the revelation of complete separation from which we will begin to elevate ourselves: we will reveal the necessity and benefit of the shattered desires, and we will want to bring them closer and connect them correctly.

Only by the right combination do we bring the whole creation back to the correct, good connection. Then people will stop becoming increasingly disconnected and galaxies will stop spreading apart and distancing from each other, because thanks to the right connection, everyone will find a place within others. This is the way to achieve correction of creation.

Question: Is it my thought or the Creator’s thought that turns me from one desire to another? How can I be sure that I do not exchange a cow for a donkey?

Answer: Everything depends on the right response to what happens. This is how the Creator paints the picture of the universe for you. In fact, there is nothing in it, nothing exists.

All the inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human levels of nature, everything that you see before you, are merely a reflection of your brain, which is based on four phases of the desire that draw all these objects for you.

Therefore it all depends on how you will perceive it. Take note of this and begin to gradually master the perception of reality in this way.

Zohar for All, VaYikra, item 83: “Behold, your king will come unto you,” certainly, and not you to Him. He will come to you to appease you; He will come to you to raise you; He will come to you to complement you in everything;

He will come to you to raise you to His palace, to bond with you in everlasting bonding, for all times, as it is written, “And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness.”

The ring that surrounds them both is a special quality that connects the created beings and the Creator forever. Then we will all rise together to the degree of the absolute, perfect light.

Question: Does the expression “as an ox to the burden” refer to states in which we don’t see the future? How should we relate to the external world in such states when everything seems bad?

Answer: You will not be able to come out of bad states to good states in any way if you do not have a group. It is only in the ten.

When you gather in the ten and seemingly create one unique whole, although you are different from each other. Then you build inside you an attribute that is made of many different elements, which you do not even suspect exist because each of you is a huge complex system.

When you connect, one unique whole is created among you, but in fact the system is made of many different opposite parts. It is like every modern technical system, such as an electronic system or a computer system, in which there are many mutual and opposite combinations, but together they create a system that operates as one unique whole.

Without this system, you will not be able to advance in any way. So when you feel bad, only your ten can help you. If you are in a state of descent, the nine friends that are connected to each other can pull you out of this state.

This is the only way! There is no other way! This is the reason that each one is given a state of descent—in order to unite the ten. Today I am in a state of descent and tomorrow it will be you, and then him, and so on.

Everyone will go through these states and this is how we will create the Creator’s name, where each one pulls the others up. But you will not be able to do anything without a ten. All of spirituality is fulfilled only in the ten. There is nothing in an individual person. Make a note of that.

Question: You say that names are given randomly according to a certain trend or for other reasons. How should we give a child a name correctly so that it will reflect the Creator’s attributes in him?

Answer: I wouldn’t do that. First of all, give him a simple ordinary name that is popular among people and not a name that will hurt or humiliate him in any way, a name that he will not be ridiculed for at school or at the playground.

Second, don’t think that if you give a child or any other person a specific name you will change his fate by that.

It is said, “He who changes his place, changes his fate.” But the term “place” refers to levels of the spiritual ladder. So of course you change your fate.

It is the same regarding a name: the higher we ascend on the spiritual ladder, the higher our names are. But calling a person one name or another does not mean anything. Stop believing in those amulets.

Question: Does a person who begins to climb the spiritual ladder acquire a name automatically?

Answer: He receives a name according to the spiritual level he is on. This is the reason that he can be called by one name at one time and by another name another time. The Torah also tells us about it when it seemingly tells us about people: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Pharaoh, Pharaoh’s daughter Batya, etc. Yet, these are not people but parts of a single soul!

A person who attains the spiritual world goes through these states. At one time he is like Pharaoh, another time he is like Abraham, and another time he is like King David, etc. So go through these states as quickly as possible. This is the main thing.

Zohar for All, VaYikra, Item 80: When he reached her, he saw that she was lying in the dust. Who saw the glory of the queen at that time, and the king’s requests of her?

The queen lies unconscious, unable to do anything with herself. This is the recognition of complete separation from the source. Somehow, she must find at least a little strength in herself to reach out to the king. Even not the strength, not the desire, but the initial movement. The king will add everything else.

All of us, while being in such a terrible, lost, powerless, dark, full of confusion state, must find a small movement toward the Creator. Then His revelation will bring us new strength, new understanding, and open the path for the light.

Question: What does it mean that there is no coercion in spirituality?

Answer: It means to make the goals of the Creator your goals. Then there will be no coercion.

Before that, of course, there will be coercion. That is how it works. In nature, there is no such state that something does not pressure something else. This is so not only for the Kabbalists but for every bug, every creature on Earth. Even inanimate nature is under the control of some coercive forces. This is only in order to move everyone to balance.

Question: Is there a state when nothing is pressuring you, and you are in complete harmony?

Answer: The state of absolute stillness, of absolute balance, is the purpose of creation. It is achieved precisely by balancing all the opposing forces.

You are under the influence of many forces and you are constantly in harmony with them, constantly maintaining it. It is the maintenance of this harmony that is your ultimate harmony, your ultimate joy.

Question: Is this the state of stillness?

Answer: There is no stillness! Stillness is an endless, continuous movement that you constantly direct to the most optimal state for all of nature, for everyone.

Question: When a person reaches such a state, does it mean there is no coercion for him?

Answer: Yes. When a person has the task in hand of constantly improving the balance of all nature, then it means that he is not under coercion, but he himself determines, creates, and controls nature.

In the wisdom of Kabbalah, we study and then reveal that all of creation, everything that exists in our world and in the world of forces around us, which we call spiritual world, is just one common network of connections.

This common, mutual, supportive, mutually complementing network of connections is called the soul. We talk only about it: how to reveal it between us, how to increase it, how to enter it with our mind and feelings, and how to control it. All this is the attainment of the soul.

In revealing this connection, we begin to discover the force of bestowal and love called the Creator. This, in principle, is all that the wisdom of Kabbalah is engaged in, and in general all that a person can do: during his life in this world to attain the Creator, to attain the soul, i.e., the network of forces in which we all exist, and through which we are completely interconnected.
