Why Should We Reach The Good Through Evil?

207Question: We know that everything is balanced by the Creator, so why should evil begin to rule so that we can reach the good?

Answer: First, it is because this is how the Creator stirs us. Second, man’s nature is evil. So by awakening evil, the Creator shakes and awakens us very strongly. Suppose you received a letter from the police, or a message from the bank that you won something. What would have a greater impact on you? Of course the negative message would have a greater impact.

Question: But how can the negative and the positive be equal? After all, a person is not an insensitive robot.

Answer: It all depends on my attitude to the Creator’s bestowal on me. If I value any form of His bestowal, like a child who correctly understands that all of his parents actions are necessary and desirable, it makes no difference to me what I receive from Him.

I can ascend above my ego and fully and mutually participate with Him under totally different conditions. My initial conditions are in the state of zero where I am already detached from myself and am already floating above myself.

Why Does Evil Precede Good?

232.05Question: Why does evil precede the good?

Answer: The Creator created evil and He also created the good in order to balance it. This is because an egoistic person can be  shaken by negative influences. And the person will chase positive influences in order to balance the evil ones.

This is the only way a person accumulates both the negativity of the left line and the positivity of the right line and grows wise.

There is no other way to do that! We cannot be made of only one property. Only the Creator consists of one property.

This is the reason the wisdom of Kabbalah operates on desire and intention. The Creator has only the desire to bestow, while we are all made of a desire only to receive. But we need to change the intention over the desire to receive so it will be an intention that is in order to bestow unto the Creator, which we can acquire, which we can receive from above. Then we will resemble Him.

What Is The Embryo Of The Soul?

527.03Question: If there is an embryo of the soul in me, why can’t I feel it like all the other parts of the body?

Answer: The yearning to attain the upper world,  the highest destiny, to reveal the Creator, to feel: “Who am I? What am I? What am I living for?” This is the embryo of the soul. And we feel it.

It all stems from the point in the heart. The heart is egoism, and the point in it is the embryo of our spiritual vessel.

How Can We Appeal To The Law Of Nature?

43Question: If the Creator is the unchanging law of nature, what does it mean to ask something of Him? How can you ask a law for something?

Answer: Very simply. You are referring to an absolute system that is in a state of complete equilibrium in which everyone is mutually and fully connected in their ultimate corrected state.

This means that everything that will happen to us at the end of correction is already there. You turn to this state and ask it to help you reach it gradually.

However, the system cannot immediately take you and place you in your ultimate state.

You must learn this as a result of your requests, as a result of the responses, and as a result of the mutual relations that you build with the right system that you work with on the basis of trial and error.

Eventually you include the whole upper system inside you, become part of it, understand it, and connect to it. This is how you become equal to the Creator.

Mutual Guarantee—The Law Of Nature

275Mutual guarantee is a global law of nature, the most important and defining. There is nothing higher than it. The Creator wants the creatures to know this law. And the creation can only attain something through the contrast of opposites.

And so the Creator created us as opposed to mutual guarantee, that is, separated, unconnected, shattered, and full of all forms of egoism. We must rise above these egoistic forces of separation and begin to connect the creation anew.

There are four degrees in creation that allow you to fully reveal the Creator. In this way they were created by the force of unity, which came out of the Creator and created the four stages of direct light. Then they descended further, breaking apart and separating, creating degrees and worlds until they reached this world and turned into all kinds of substances. The substances broke down further: into molecules, atoms, subatomic and elementary particles.

But the main work of man is not to delve into physical or chemical research, into elementary particles, but to connect all the parts of creation on all levels: both physical matter and its spiritual embodiment, into one whole, and to return to the original state from which it was broken.

Creation, equivalent in form to the Creator, fully follows the law of mutual guarantee. By the same degrees that the worlds descended, shattered, and divided, creation now rises back up, binds, and connects, first transforming itself from physical material into spiritual. Spiritual matter is one where the law of unity, mutual guarantee, is fulfilled more and more.

The separation and descent of the worlds to the very bottom, down to physical matter, was done in order to enable us to bring the entire creation to unity through our own efforts because “One” is the name of the Creator. In other words, we need to recreate the law of mutual guarantee between all parts of creation.

If we do not do this in time, the process of breakage continues, and we experience more and more new problems and diseases in our lives, that is, separation at all levels: inanimate, vegetative, animal, and human. On the animal level, separation manifests as diseases of the body, on the inanimate and vegetative levels, as natural disasters.

The only thing we need is to comply with the law of mutual guarantee. We have only one task: to connect all the parts of creation into a single integrated system, into “One, Unique and Unified,” except for whom, there is nothing. This law binds all parts of nature by a simple formula called Mutual Guarantee, (Arvut) by which everything exists in perfect harmony. The feeling of this harmony is called the attainment of the Creator by the creation.

The Creator has deliberately shattered this law of mutual guarantee in order to give everyone a point of his “I”—the point of shattering from which he can feel himself existing and attaining unity, mutual guarantee. This is how we embody the name of the Creator, reveal Him, and put him as a king over creation.

How Can We Raise The Point In The Heart?

232.07Question: How can we raise the point in the heart if it is inside the ego and managed by it?

Answer: This point, which is the foundation of our spiritual life, is now held captive by the ego. You must exit your ego by raising your point in the heart above it.

However, you do not lose your egoism when you do that. It remains, and you will not be able to remove it in any way. But you can rise above it in order to control it.

Question: Is there a movement of the point itself inside the ego?

Answer: Yes. The point in the heart is the foundation of our spiritual vessel, of our soul. But at the same time, it is like a drop of semen from which the embryo develops. Therefore, we must begin to develop it, and it will gradually rise above our ego.

The departure of this point from the ego is allegorically called the exodus from Egypt, the departure from the ruling of Pharaoh, from our egoism. This is the only way we can be free. If we continue to develop the point in the heart, it will grow, and we will begin to feel the spiritual world in it.

281.02Question: Why does the ego subjugate only to fear?

Answer: What else can it subjugate to? The ego wants to fill itself with everything except fear, except the feeling of emptiness. This is the only thing it fears.

Question: How can we nevertheless connect such incompatible attributes like egoism and altruism?

Answer: Egoism and altruism can connect only one above the other. This is called faith above reason, when altruism is more important than egoism. This is what you determine when you study the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Question: If man is the force of bestowal and woman is the force of reception, why are there so many couples of the same gender?

Answer: First of all, the question is formulated incorrectly. From a spiritual perspective, men and women differ only by their egoistic attributes. In men, they manifest themselves in their own way and in women in their own way. But they are both egoistic. Couples represent animalistic coupling of people and it has nothing to do with spirituality.

Question: What is love and friendship according to the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: Love and friendship relate only to people with whom I develop spiritually within my Kabbalistic group. Other than that, there is family and  children, but these are totally different mutual daily relations.

Question: How do you relate to information about chip implants and about 5G?

Answer: All this has nothing to do with spirituality, and therefore, it does not interest me.

Question: Will money disappear in the future? And if, for example, you have two apartments, will you have to give away one of them?

Answer: You owe nothing to anyone. And money will not disappear. It may change its essence; there may not be bills or coins any more but something else. But it will not disappear because it is equivalent to communication.

Question: What role will medicine play in the near future? What values should it develop on?

Answer: Only on the value of preserving and supporting people’s lives so that they can ascend in spirituality.

Question: Are you sure that you answer all the questions you are asked correctly?

Answer: I am sure!

Question: How can I force myself to restrain my emotions when they disobey and spill out of me?

Answer: Let them out, there is nothing wrong in that. Are we not human? After all, it happens to everyone, including me. It is better to let them out.

Question: Which professions are the most altruistic?

Answer: The most altruistic profession is being a teacher of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Question: How many people who have already corrected their ego can change the world and when will it happen?

Answer: Basically, the world is changing with all of us. Each of us constantly changes the world either by suffering or by good deeds. Don’t worry, think about your correct participation in this process and everything else will work out.

Question: How can one keep his internal religious belief and develop the desire to correct oneself and the whole world?

Answer: What does that have to do with religion? I don’t have such an environment and have nothing to do with religion. Therefore, I cannot advise you on that.

Question: Do our thoughts impact the world?

Answer: They definitely do! Nothing other than our thoughts impacts the world. The world and everything in it is a thought. We exist in a thought and there is nothing other than that around us: no matter, no motion. It is all thoughts.

Question: The more I delve into the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah, the more doubts I have, starting from the question whether what the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches is true to the question whether I will be able to reach the end and ascend above the ego. What can you advise people like me?

Answer: Continue to doubt, and do it harder, because this is the only way you will reach the truth.

A Taste For Basic Needs

282.01Question: The needs of the lowest level of our desires do not disappear; they are preserved at all levels. Therefore, even if I am at the top of the pyramid today, will I always have animalistic needs?

Answer: The whole set of them. Each of us contains the entire pyramid of desires. Moreover, the higher we rise in our values, the stronger our connection with the lowest levels becomes.

Therefore, in Kabbalah it is said that the higher a person rises, the stronger his craving for basic needs become—food, sex, family.

Question: That is, it is not that a person begins to neglect them, but on the contrary, he begins to feel a taste for them, a taste for respect, for money, etc.?

Answer: For everything.

Question: Is such a struggle constantly taking place in him?

Answer: This is what his growth is about.

Question: It means that he does not become indifferent to this whole world, money, and everything else?

Answer: Never and in no way. It is only in books they write that spiritual people are supposedly all “God’s dandelions.” On the contrary! As their spiritual desires grow, so do their bodily, egoistic, earthly desires.

Where Is The Spark Of The Soul?

294.3Question: Where in the body is the spark of the soul? How can I feel that it is really inside me?

Answer: The spark is not in a person’s body. There is no such place in the body that you can cut and remove from it.

It is a spiritual force that is not in the corporeal body. Even if your body ceases to exist, the spark will still remain and will acquire a new corporeal body. It is the spiritual gene that exists permanently and is passed on from one life to the next. The only thing that changes is its corporeal carrier.

Growing A New World

260We are approaching a special congress—completely virtual—as it has never been before. Thousands of people used to gather for physical congresses and tens or even hundreds of thousands more were connected to it virtually. But now the entire congress will be virtual; everyone will be in the same position and connected on equal terms. Everyone received proper, identical preparation.

It doesn’t matter that we are already familiar with each other and with the lessons of the congress. It is said: “Let every day be a new day.” That is, we need to make this renewal. Each time we have ten primordial Sefirot, but from them and onward, we always raise the resolution: two times more, three times, four times…

Therefore, we can read the same articles, but everything depends only on our connection, which determines the attainment. In the spiritual world, attainment does not depend on one person, especially in our times. As the last generation, we are dependent on correcting the global Kli. Therefore, the quality depends on the number of connections. This is a characteristic feature of our time.

Each ten is already ready to embrace other connected tens as one person, attaching them one after another infinitely. Let your heart be divided among all the tens and let the Creator enter and be revealed in this huge common heart.

Therefore, this congress is special. We have never been in this state. And I really hope that we will see decent results and advance toward the goal because this is a very correct approach. First, we need to reveal our Kli, Israel, which is aimed “straight to the Creator.” And then, after the congress, we will be able to go out to the masses with this new force and create a place for the revelation of the Creator to all creatures.

This will cure the world of all the problems and troubles caused by our growing egoism and fill it with the upper force. The main thing is to reach a connection with each other, to become as one ten. This is the purpose of our gathering, the congress, the meaning of our meeting.

The whole huge system exists only for one small person; everything is created for him although he does not understand or feel anything. And everything else only conveys to him the attitude of the Creator toward him.

The spiritual is not measured by our earthly standards: kilograms, liters, or kilometers but depends on the number of elements connected together. If there are 1,000 smallest and weakest souls but they are united together, they have much more weight in the spiritual world than five or ten large souls. If little people unite with each other even not for the sake of the Creator, it is worthy of respect because they reveal the connection over egoism.

Therefore, a united city cannot be defeated. If people unite even for a criminal purpose but are loyal to each other, then they are provided with protection from above.

Congress must become the seed from which a new world will sprout. First there must be a grain, a drop of semen around which the flesh will begin to grow and all systems will form. The most important thing is the drop of semen, the very first point. We are the starting point of a new world, and we will hope that the Congress will give a new direction to all of humanity. Everyone gets the same blows, so the solution must also be the same for everyone.

If I expand myself without connecting with others, then I expand my vision of this world. After all, in the material world everything is determined by the individual strength, by the sharpness of mind of each one individually. Everyone wants to be great on their own, and this is the global breakage.

And in the spiritual world, power is calculated by the number of particles that are connected. How many of them? A thousand, a million, a billion, or a billion billions, this is the measure of the spiritual Kli. Each one is only a unit within the ten Sefirot. It cannot be more or less; it cannot inflate itself. It can only connect with many more like it, and this will increase its power.

Therefore, it is said that “…the view of landlord is opposite to the view of Torah.” The ordinary person feels that he is inflated, and the opinion of the Torah takes into account everyone. If I connect with them, I feel that the Creator dwells between them and manifests Himself, revealing the upper reality.

Spiritual power is measured by the number of pixels, and material power is measured by one pixel, swollen with pride.
