Question: People should be responsible for others. Isn’t that an egoistic thought?

Answer: No. Everyone should be responsible for others because we are parts of one integrated system. So if there is something out of order in this system, then there must be something wrong with me too.

There is nowhere to go. This comes from the fact that we are a single system called Adam.

Question: How can you recognize your evil if your very nature does not allow it? Every moment a person justifies his or her actions.

Answer: Absolutely right. Therefore, the force with which we advance and develop spiritually is called “faith above reason,” that is the ascent above our egoism.

How do we do that? By placing myself in the group, in the ten, and try to dissolve in it. In this way I rise above myself. Only in this way! If you do not have a group, you will not be able to do it, and this is where your problem will be.

The development of the truth from the opposite is the cornerstone in the wisdom of Kabbalah. If we wish to understand something, we need to understand the phenomenon and the state opposite to it. Otherwise, we will not feel anything.

If there were only darkness or only light, we could not discern them. When there is some correlation between them, then we we feel darkness and light, and it is the same in every other aspect. So the most important thing we have is the ability to sharply feel contrasting phenomena, and as a result to build sensations and to determine and sharpen the definitions. An expert is someone who has many contrasting attributes, emotions, and lots of information, and who can integrate and place different things one in contrast to the other, and thus learn.

Question: Does this mean that I don’t need to be afraid of the dark?

Answer: Of course not. We cannot determine and define the light without the dark. This is the reason that we were created in the dark, in our ego, because it is only thanks to the ego that grows continuously, that we can reveal the resistance and the contrast to the Creator, and then to resemble Him.

Comment: Everything is the opposite according to the wisdom of Kabbalah. According to what you say, a person needs to become a great egoist, while it is usually considered a bad thing by most people.

My Response: It is written, “he who is greater than his friend, his desire is even greater.” We actually measure everything thanks to the size of the egoistic desire by which we measure the upper light, its impact on us and the changes it brings about, and even the Creator Himself.

Question: Does this mean that the ego will continue to grow and we will not be able to do anything about it?

Answer: We don’t need to do anything with it. On the contrary, let it grow. This is the reason that this wisdom is called the wisdom of Kabbalah, which means the wisdom of how to receive whatever we can take for ourselves, but with the intention to bestow. This is the paradox. We will gradually reach that.

Question: Why have my feelings become inoperative? Previously, feelings came involuntarily, but now I have to ask the Creator even for love for my relatives.

Answer: It is very good. You are being taught what it means to feel right. So you can’t be like a child either crying or being happy.

Now you are beginning to collect other feelings that are more subtle, different. And then it all comes out. Patience is needed.

Question: If we achieve mutual guarantee in a society and similarity of form with the Creator, will we not lose our freedom as individuals in such a society?

Answer: We will not lose anything because along the way we will see that we are absolutely not free. We are ruled by our egoism without it asking us anything, and it forces us to act as it wishes at any given time.

But if we realize that it is egoism that rules us, and rise above it, we can control it and by that control ourselves, our destiny.

And most importantly, we will begin to feel that we are not living in an egoistic animal body, but above it, and thus we will feel that we exist forever in a perfect space. We must come to this while we are still in this world. As it is said: “May you see your world in your lifetime.”

This is the role of Kabbalah—to give man the opportunity to rise above the animal nature to the human level. And man is someone who lives forever, outside of time. Time exists only in inanimate, vegetative, and animal organisms, but in the level of Adam there is no time. There, just like according to Einstein, everything goes into another dimension.

Question: If a person becomes fearless, what can it lead to?

Answer: He will not become fearless in Kabbalah. On the contrary, he will be even more afraid because he will increasingly reveal how dependent he is on the Creator.

But this is no longer a fear like that of a baby but a fear of being in ever increasing mutual contact when they act together: the Creator and a person.

Question: How do we correctly unite between us, by appealing to feelings, thoughts, or logic?

Answer: It is best to turn to logic when a person knows why he should unite, that unity is a law of nature, and thus it leads one to a correct path with the whole universe, with a common integral system called the Creator.

When a person realizes this, the task of one’s existence becomes revealing this system in order to integrally find oneself in it.

Question: It is said that fear arises from ignorance. Are they just an irritant to come to spiritual desires?

Answer: No. There are several types of fear. In “The Introduction of The Zohar, Items 169 – 188” three types of fear and trepidation are examined in “The Commandments of the Torah, The First Commandment.” I recommend you read it.

Answer: In fact, there is no difference between material fear and spiritual fear. This all comes from the Creator, and therefore affects a person on all levels. This effect can pass through your family, relatives, children, your animal body, etc.

Question: Why does a person freeze when feeling intense fear?

Answer: Fear paralyzes, it does not allow you to move and does not allow you to act. After all, acting means making some decisions, doing something. And a man who is afraid can do nothing. Fear against all actions.

Question: If fear is so necessary for revealing the Creator, why do we need security?

Answer: In order for us to feel the need to overcome our fears.

Question: How does one correct the deafening fear of disappointing the Creator into trembling before Him?

Answer: This is corrected in the group. With the correct study of Kabbalah, such problems do not arise.

Question: How can we use the sense of fear in a productive way?

Answer: Kabbalah explains that the main concern of a person should be to put himself against the Creator, because everything that happens to us, in us, and around us comes from the Creator.

If I try to feel that I am in connection with the Creator all the time, and not in a direct two-way connection I—to Him and He—to me, but in the feeling that He acts on me and everything that comes to me every moment in feelings, in the mind, in thoughts, and in memory, comes from Him, then I will position myself more or less correctly.

The question arises: if I am in a state where I am all in the Creator, is there any place for fear, anxiety, and expectation of something bad?

Therefore, the problem is not that I am in fear, but that the Creator is concealed from me. If the Creator were open to me, I would feel that I am in Him—in good, eternal, perfect, unique, governing, organizing, and defining the whole world. If I felt like that, then I would have no fears, no worries, and no doubts.

Therefore, the whole problem lies in the concealment of the Creator, which is the cause of all our troubles, and vice versa, His disclosure is the source of all our joys.

Question: Why did the Creator create such motivation as fear?

Answer: In order for us to draw Him to ourselves all the time, to try to reveal Him.

Question: How do we interact with fear of the Creator?

Answer: We turn to Him and work with Him in order to remove this fear. If the Creator manifests Himself, then fear disappears. Even if we simply come closer to Him, and remember that everything is from Him, then fear already disappears.

Question: Is it possible to call accepting the opinion of a friend, even though it is the opposite of one’s own, “faith above reason”? If so, how do I do it without disregarding my own opinion?

Answer: Faith above reason means contrary to my opinion, I accept the opinion of a friend and follow it 100%. I am trying to make his opinion, even though it is the opposite of mine, become mine. You need to experience it yourself, and gradually you will be able to understand what it is.

Faith above reason is a system of spiritual perception, when you begin to see the spiritual world above our world or through it. It’s not easy. You need to spend a lot of time and effort until you start to perceive everything this way.

This is a completely different system of the universe, as if you have a completely different mind, feelings, and thoughts.
