Question: If we originally existed on the spiritual level, why were we lowered into the abyss of egoism?

Answer: In order for us to have freewill.

Question: Did we not have freewill, even when we used to love each other?

Answer: Of course not. This happened under the influence of light, which showed you the whole universe and your complete dependence on others. You performed the program of creation completely automatically. You were like an inanimate being, acting instinctively, like a corrected, good animal.

But this mechanism is necessary in order to give you the quality of bestowal, the quality of love for your neighbor so that it comes from you, and you understand what is in creation. To do this, you need to be placed between two opposing forces, and with their help you begin somehow to choose what is better, what is worse, why, what for.

You would have the knowledge, analysis, and synthesis of all kinds of phenomena. Then you will know yourself and from yourself, the Creator.

Question: Did we not feel the Creator before?

Answer: No. You felt only yourself, as if you were inside Him like a fetus in the womb of a mother that carries out absolutely all her commands, is completely under her control, but at the same time, he is nobody and nothing.

You annul yourself so much that these few kilograms of someone else’s body, which are inside the mother’s body, are not felt by her as an undesirable element. Although we always have a reaction of rejection of a foreign body, this body does not feel alien, but on the contrary, is loved and desired. Imagine how much this is created by nature inversely to what exists in our world!

The material state of intrauterine development is similar to the spiritual state. If we could now, at the level we are at, consciously annul ourselves in relation to spirituality and give ourselves to it completely, we would begin to feel it, but in a minimal volume, as minimal intrauterine spiritual life.

Question: In our world, there are so many different people in terms of mentality, appearance, everything. How is it possible that such different people scattered all over the world will suddenly want to be together?

Answer: The same thing happens in our body. We just don’t fully understand it yet. Is there any cell in our body like another? If it were completely similar to another cell, it would be it.

It exists because it can give the whole body its own method of maintenance, its own work, its own bestowal. Are the cells of the brain, heart, liver, and kidneys similar to each other? They are completely different tissue.

Question: How will people feel this in Asia, Africa, Latin America?

Answer: That is why, first of all, we must accept as an absolutely necessary condition that each person is unique, and we need to protect and  preserve his individuality, let him personally develop spiritually.

Therefore, the dissemination of Kabbalah should be absolutely voluntary, free, in accordance with how much a person begins to understand and feel that this is really a method of correcting the world, raising it to the next level, to the next dimension, which we must now go through.

Everyone should perceive this to the best of their development. There are some people who go straight for it. There are those who agree, but with a degree of indifference. There are people who reject it, who cannot agree with it in any way, who feel something hateful in it.

It all depends on a person’s level of development. But everyone has to pass all the levels. And in any case, you cannot put pressure on anyone here, but only tell everyone that there is such a method that speaks about the meaning of our life and about how we should rise to the next level of its existence during it. At the same time, our world gradually, as we move away from it, disappears, and turns into the spiritual world. We emanate into a completely different state.

Question: What is the difference between a corporeal group and a virtual group?

Answer: If the friends work correctly between them, there is probably no difference.

Why probably? In order to do that, we need to go through certain phases of development, to achieve something, to begin to understand and to perceive it, to process these phases, and then to advance. We are pioneers in this sense, because we are doing something that has never been fulfilled in history.

After all, the group that Abraham assembled in ancient Babylon and called Israel operated in different conditions. They were not shattered and they ascended to the level of the First Temple, which means one level below full correction.

Then they were partly shattered on the level of the First Temple, and fully shattered on the level of the Second Temple. They passed another 2,000 years of detachment from the spiritual state. This is the reason that today we are beginning to reconnect.

Since the Babylonians dispersed all over the globe at the time, and Abraham’s group also dispersed in the world and mixed with other nations, we now begin to gradually reassemble, not knowing from where and how. Yet, these are not our own independent actions, but the outcome of the Creator’s effect, the effect of the general light on us.

So when we reassemble, we don’t know how to act. There are general schemas, general rules of the correction of the broken Kli (shattered vessel) of the one soul. But no matter what you ask about, I will not tell you that that is the way it should be, even if I am absolutely sure of the answer, because in the spiritual world there is the rule of “there is none wiser than the experienced.”

A wise man is a person who undergoes everything and speaks about it only from his own experience, but who knows the levels that we are undergoing now? There are no such people in our generation.

It will be easier for the next generation though. We will leave them our teachers, our impressions, we will leave them the broken Kli (shattered vessel) that we have begun to reconstruct, and so, of course, it will be easier for them to do it.

I am not quite sure how the group will undergo the levels of attainment. We are advancing by making small steps, and although we are advancing quite fast, every small step is still new, so time will tell. We will intensively move forward and see for ourselves how it works.

On the whole, our movement is similar to the states Kabbalists underwent in earlier generations, but there may also be changes since group work is implemented for the first time. It is new, since throughout history the assembly of the broken Kelim (shattered vessels), the vessel of the general soul has never been fulfilled.

Question: How can one come closer to the Creator after a serious trauma? How can the Creator desire this suffering and pain? Why and what for?

Answer: I cannot explain this to you. You must learn this by yourself, and gradually, precisely gradually, you will begin to see the true picture of the world. I do not even want to talk about this right now. You will not understand me, you will reject what I can tell you.

Question: Doesn’t the very presence of trauma prevent development?

Answer: No. It even encourages us.

Tu BiShvat (15th of Shevat) is a holiday called “The New year of the trees.” On this day, trees begin to awaken to life in anticipation of summer, of the New Year.

It is written that man is like a tree in a field. Therefore, Tu BiShvat symbolizes the beginning of the blossoming of man, of his spiritual development.

There are four New Year celebrations during the year on four levels: still, vegetative, animate, and human. The New Year of trees refers to the vegetative level, which is not still but grows and develops, and therefore, it relates to man.

On this day, a person should realize that he himself determines his path, the process of development, and the goal. There is no coercion from above, but here at this place in the connection between us, we determine and execute our development. Therefore, we need to check whether our goal and our every step are correct. If all this is aimed at connection, then we will certainly succeed.

New Year is the time of judgment, so we need to judge ourselves and the world to determine the direct path to the chosen goal. In fact, we should judge ourselves every day, but especially today, in the New Year of trees. After all, this is no longer an inanimate but a vegetative state, that is, a living state that wants to achieve something. Therefore, today we will try to think again about how to grow more and more toward the goal.

Question: Do we influence the rest of the people by the fact that a large enough number of people are studying Kabbalah?

Answer: Of course! We are in one single system, as if in one spiritual body, we are mutually connected, and therefore, directly influence each other.

Suddenly I receive messages from Japan, China, Iran, Chile, and so on, that is, from completely different, opposite points of the earth where people are beginning to feel the emptiness of today’s life and see in Kabbalah the only opportunity, the only means, to change it.

I hope that those who read and listen to us will understand that Kabbalah offers them something incredible, amazing. Moreover, it does not oblige them to anything in any way.

You can stay as you are in your profession, in your life, in your religion, in your studies, in your leisure, in your habits, it does not matter in what. This has nothing to do with anything. Just begin to understand, to realize, to become familiar with the fact that you have an additional part that makes you an eternal perfect being.

Question: To what extent are different spiritual states, ascents and descents measured as our feelings inside the ego?

Answer: There are states that we feel in the ego that is not corrected yet. These are preliminary sensations.

However, there are states in which a person corrects his egoism and then begins to feel the Creator in the attribute of bestowal to the extent that he is in equivalence of form with Him and is no longer in the attribute of receiving. This is the right feeling.

The complete revelation of the Creator to a person is the goal of creation, the goal of our development.

Question: If there is nothing unnecessary in the world, then must lies also exist?

Answer: Different opinions between people are great. The problem is that they do not know how to work on this difference of opinion in order to come to a common denominator.

Question: What advice can we give them?

Answer: There is no advice. We should learn to rise above our egoism for the sake of connection, which should be the most important thing for us.

Here neither truth nor falsehood are important. They do not exist at all! There are my natural inclinations. I can consider them as truth, I can consider them as false, and it does not matter. But above all, there should be connection.

Question: So is it justified to lie for the sake of connecting society?

Answer: Yes. One should take into account only connection. If I nullify myself before everyone, bend myself before everyone, then eventually I achieve the best state for myself and for society.

Question: It is written that the truth grows from the earth. Why?

Answer: It is because I come from the lowest level, egoism, and want to achieve the highest level, altruism. This upward movement must be strictly vertical and constant. This is how you should educate yourself. Then we will really reach a good connection with each other at the upper level.

Question: The wisdom of Kabbalah destroys the balance of our egoistic nature. It would be interesting to know, how this can end for human nature?

Answer: This may end up in quite a predictable way, and I hope a solution is close.

It all will end with the fact that egoism, as the negative part of nature, will be balanced by altruism, the positive part of nature, and both parts will work in harmony with each other. And we will be between them.

We should use both egoism and altruism. Everything should be in moderation and in balance. And a person will have both of these forces.

Question: Why did the authors of The Book of Zohar first have a desire to kill each other?

Answer: Because in the course of their work they revealed their true essence: how torn apart and disconnected they were and how they hated each other.

We do not yet represent the egoism that exists in each of us. It is a terrible egoism when there is no mother, no father, no wife, no children, no one, and nothing for me. For the sake of my most scanty pleasure, I am ready to destroy everyone, without regrets, without any calculations, just like that.

That is, I do not have any relationship with the others, I cannot see others, except for the sake of my own petty pleasure. This is my nature, as well as everyone else’s. Anyone who denies this simply does not yet understand how he was created.

Therefore, first of all, we need to achieve this negative state. As it is said: “I created egoism and created the Torah to correct it.”

Question: It seems strange. After all, if I move toward the Creator, shouldn’t  I feel more and more love and certainly not hatred for my friends?

Answer: You begin to reveal more and more egoism in yourself, and thanks to this you rise above it. On one hand, you need great egoism, on the other hand, a greater influence of the light, with the help of which you constantly rise above it.

The ego grows, and you rise above it. Thus, starting at the foot of the broken “statue” that you are rebuilding, you go up to its head. The material is added, egoism is added, and you glue it more and more.

You find yourself in this statue, connected with the rest of the souls into one single whole, into one single organism, where everything is mixed, and everything is common. The identification remains but such that you feel connected with everyone. Here is a paradox.

On the one hand, you feel your individuality, which consists in the fact that you are completely dissolved with everyone in one whole. In addition, the Creator binds you together. He fills you and is constantly with you.

As a result, a single whole is formed that includes you, all other souls along with you, and together with all of you—the Creator. All this is brought together so that on one hand, you can discern: this is me, this is the soul, this is the Creator, and on the other hand, everything is absolutely connected. Then you begin to feel equal to the Creator. So is each one of us.

That is, individuality does not disappear, but, on the contrary, multiplies. This is a very specific understanding. We will gradually reach it.
