Question: How can we understand what the fear of the Creator is? Is it fear of punishment for transgressions? Is it fear that the Creator will push me away, or is it another fear?

Answer: At the corporeal level, there are about 800 types of fear. But in spirituality, there is only one fear: the fear of not being afraid of the Creator.

Question: And what is worse: the fear of not being afraid of the Creator or the fear of death?

Answer: It depends on the level of the person. But, in principle, the most important thing is still in relation to the Creator. When a person is on a spiritual level, death for him is not something that causes fear.

Fear causes man to disobey the Creator because there are many egoistic obstacles that hinders a person.

Question: If a person comes to a clear comprehension of the higher force, does he still experience corporeal fears?

Answer: I do not know because I myself am not at that level yet. This is the level of absolute, complete correction. But, in principle, until the very end of correction, there remains the possibility of corporeal fears, which the Creator develops in man on purpose.

This does not determine one’s personal level but that the Creator is now developing such an attribute in him.

Question: What is the difference between feeling the oneness of the Creator and the cognitive perception that “there is none else besides Him?”

Answer: By cognitive understanding, we mean with our brains. They are a product of our world and cannot provide us with anything sensible.

People have been trying to reveal the Creator for ages and nothing came of it. So, you should not try to do it only with your resources, with your mind and feelings.

Let us study the wisdom of Kabbalah and try to achieve the revelation of the Creator through it. This will work.

Question: How can the principle “love your neighbor as yourself” be fulfilled if I love my neighbor with selfish love, but I must love him altruistically?

Answer: Indeed, these are two kinds of love. But you can love another person more than yourself if you begin to realize that to love another is the same love, only at the next level, global, integral, eternal, perfect. And to love yourself means that you love only at the animal level.

Therefore, it is impossible to compare love external, integral and internal, linear, selfish. When both types of love arise in a person, he begins to love eternity, perfection, and the world more than his animal body.

Question: Is there anything between the light and the source of the light?

Answer: No. We perceive only the upper light but not its source. We speak about the source of the light according to the light that we attain, but we cannot say anything else about it.

Question: Does this mean that the light is between us and its source?

Answer: Yes. But we cannot understand its source, feel it, or reveal it. We can only say that it radiates good because this is what we feel.

We give names to the Creator according to our perception of what comes from Him and not any other way. It is the same in our world where we give names to anything that we feel according to our feelings.  For example, if we are talking about a person you say he is good, someone else calls him evil, the third says he’s dumb, and the fourth that he is smart. Each one depicts him in a different way, which is also how we relate to the Creator.

Question: What should I do when I do not want to study anything related to my profession, but want to listen around the clock and to know only the wisdom of Kabbalah? I live only by it and nothing else interests me.

Answer: You need a group, systematic studies, and the correct relation of yourself with the surrounding world, family, work, and children. You must be fully in these systems, correctly balanced, and advancing to the attainment of the Creator. This is the only way to attain Him.

Question: How can I feel the Creator? At present, a lot of knowledge is opening up before me, but I cannot feel it.

Answer: Concentrate on the connection between you in the group, then you will be able to learn from this to direct yourself to the Creator.

Question: How can I correctly ask the Creator for His revelation?

Answer: Again, only if you are correctly connected with the group, study together with the friends, and advance according to the clear methodology.

Question: Once we complete the process of correction and we all are in one soul of Adam, what feelings will we experience?

Answer: We will feel that we are all together in one feeling, in one understanding, and are connected with the single upper force.

Remark: It seems that this whole life is not enough to attain the Creator.

My Comment: If you are really listening to what I say, I promise you that you will be able to fully attain the Creator during your lifetime. After all, this is what the goal of creation is all about. Although it may seem that our life is short, it was created this way, so that we will be able to do it.

It is as if we are standing on the heads of the generations that preceded us in the spiritual work. Our souls have undergone the gradual states of spiritual evolution and so we can speak about these things today. In addition, we cannot even imagine how we can speed up our spiritual development if we begin to do it in a group. Then each of us will immediately increase himself by ten times (according to the number of friends in the group), and then ten times more and so on.

This means that we will infinitely accelerate our spiritual development.

So, do not worry about not having enough time to complete your correction. Anyone who arrives at the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah absolutely has the clear opportunity to do so.

Question: Does love exist?

Answer: Of course it does.

Love is when I want to fill the other instead of myself. As a mother wants to fill her child, as a friend wants to give everything to another friend, as the Creator wants to fill us, and if we go forward correctly, we want to fill Him.

Love is the desire to fill another.

Remark: Baal HaSulam writes that joy is an indicator of good deeds. If good actions are not for your own sake, then joy and gladness are revealed.

Answer: Joy in spirituality is the result of the correct actions, while on the earthly level it can be the other way around—you steal and rejoice.

Question: What is a good action?

Answer: Good actions are actions that are similar to the Creator’s.

Question: What level of correction of each person will be sufficient for universal anxiety to be replaced by universal joy?

Answer: For anxiety to be replaced by joy, we need to find the feeling of the Creator.
The feeling of the Creator is called “faith.” That is what we need. Then all anxieties will turn into joy.

Question: If there are 800 types of fear, how many types of joy are there?

Answer: Just one. It is a joy from revealing, attaining, and feeling the Creator.

Look how many movies, musicals, and everything else that humanity has invented on the subject of grief, suffering, and all kinds of conflicts in our world.

And how many happy movies do we have? Some insignificant films. There are not many facets or experiences in something kind, sweet, and joyful.

It is precisely because we exist in egoism and its manifestations are bitter and painful that there are so many shades in it.

Question: Is there joy in relationships with others, for example, in love for a man, a woman, parents and children, the path to the Creator? Or is it just egoism?

Answer: No, it is pure egoism.

Question: Everyone should begin working on selfishness with themselves, but it is very difficult. It turns out that you think about yourself all the time. How do people stop being selfish?

Answer: This happens gradually. Don’t worry; it will happen to you too. You will have to go through many kinds of thoughts, pondering, changes, and activities with us, but as a result, you will see that it all comes down to a person’s internal transformation.

One begins to feel the world as different—connected, integral, eternal, and perfect—and oneself in this system.

A state arises when a person does not care about the perception of our world in the form that we now feel it, but what is important is to be in this world as the right integral part. In this case, one can bring to this world what no one else can. It turns out that this world depends on it.
