Question: Are the spiritual worlds a mirror image of our world? In our world, love is first given and it is up to us to maintain it, while in the spiritual worlds do we have to first develop relationships that will become love?

Answer: This is not entirely correct. You are talking about egoistic feelings in our world, while in the spiritual world they are altruistic, so you cannot compare them. When we talk about the law of root and branch, the intention is for the lower levels to resemble the structure of the upper level.

Question: What is the connection of the Olam Ein Sof (World of Infinity) with the rest of the worlds?

Answer: Olam Ein Sof is a world that has no end, meaning that there is no limit for the quality of bestowal and love. It is infinite, and it is therefore called Olam Ein Sof.

Question: Where are the 125 levels found, and where does the final correction happen? Is it in the world of Atzilut or in Olam Ein Sof?

Answer: It is preferable to say that it is in Olam Ein Sof; this is more understandable.

Question: Are we correcting a part of our egoism on every level?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is there a correspondence between the levels in our world and Olam Ein Sof?

Answer: The worlds are a division of the 125 levels into five worlds.

Question: Does the concept of unity in our world have its root in spirituality?

Answer: Everything that happens in our world has a root in the upper world, all properties, effects, and actions, including the most evil and terrible, all descend from the upper world.

Question: How can I attain the upper worlds when I feel rejection and hostility toward people?

Answer: Rejection of people is a very good phenomenon. It means that you are in a state where you are aware of your own nature. Whether you agree or disagree is already a different matter, but you understand that you don’t love everyone, and even reject and hate them. It is your nature. A wonderful state indeed. It is a very good state for learning the wisdom of Kabbalah and it is also the beginning of correction.

Question: If we do not succeed in ascending to the world of Ein Sof (infinity), what awaits us?

Answer: Don’t be worried that “they will take you by the ear and lift you up.” Are you ready to manage anything by yourself? You are certainly not.

Question: When a person develops spiritually how many incarnations does it take before one reaches one’s full correction?

Answer: You can do this in one incarnation, here and now. If you were given contact with the means for ascension, then all the rest depends on you.

Question: When bad properties are discovered, how can one avoid doing bad things? How can I hold onto myself?

Answer: It depends on the environment. If you find yourself in the right environment, you will be unable to do anything bad.

Question: Is it possible to correct everything on the level of thoughts?

Answer: It is precisely on the level of thoughts that it is necessary to correct everything.

Question: After we cross the Machsom (barrier), will there be a next incarnation of the soul? Or do I not have to return and can advance further and ascend only in the spiritual world?

Answer: You will be able to advance even without returning to your physical body.

Question: You are saying that it is necessary to correct everything on the level of thought. How can we do this if we ourselves do not control anything? What is it that depends on us?

Answer: We do not control anything, including our thoughts. We can only ask for the upper light to come and correct our thoughts.

Question: Do traumas and experiences in our lives act as corrections that will bring us to a state of bestowal?

Answer: They do not. It is unnecessary to think that traumas and experiences correct anything. They only push us toward correction. Correction lies in good connection in the group where you build a place for mutual kindness and mutual participation where the Creator can be discovered.

Question: During the convention, must the tens constantly mix, each lesson with a new ten?

Answer: What difference does it make? Shut your eyes as if you do not see and do not know which ten you are in: permanent or temporary. It is all a mirage. They are showing you one version of your soul, and then another one, and the third one. You must connect and merge with it and with the Creator who is inside it.

Question: How can you use happiness correctly? Should I awaken the left line more so that I am not carried away with too much happiness?

Answer: Happiness must be balanced with the goal, the precise approach, and the purpose for which you use this excitement. It is not about just being in a state of joy and having fun.

Question: I am very connected with my regular ten. Is it normal to imagine my permanent ten when I participate in a temporary ten? Or is this a bad approach?

Answer: It makes no difference. Imagine anything you want. The main thing is to connect everything together.

Question: Outside of the lesson when my ten and I are not in a lesson, in a common meal or on duty, can I be connected with the general ten in some way?

Answer: Certainly. What difference does it make if you are sitting with a part of this group or together with the entire group? A person should constantly be together with everyone in his thoughts and not become disconnected anywhere.

Reaction to Our Sensations

Question: If the reality I feel is only a reaction within me, then how can I feel something outside of this reaction?

Answer: You cannot. It is impossible. We always feel only ourselves, our reaction to something that is happening and nothing more.

To the extent that we are like the thing that is happening, we feel it based on our reaction.

How do we attain the Creator? We must create such qualities in ourselves called “the Creator,” and then we will understand and feel Him. Only in this way.

Regarding anything we feel, the Kli (vessel) feels only what it feels within itself and nothing else.

Playing Equivalence With The Creator

Question: How can those of us studying Kabbalah feel the Creator if we simply play the role of those who feel Him in front of the friends, but really don’t know anything about Him except His qualities? How will we know that we are approaching Him and it is not an illusion or just our imagination, but it will become real?

Answer: Try to play as if you are similar to the Creator with respect to your friend. And you will see how much this begins to develop you and your friend.

The friend in his turn will also begin to react to you in the same way. Thus, you will be developing each other together, and the Creator will be helping you both.

The main thing is to try to do everything in a way in which you would manifest yourself like the Creator.

Beyond Absolute Correction

Question: One soul is divided into 600,000 pieces. Each shattered differently. The experience of each of them plays a big role and is very important. Will we return to the common soul and then perceive everything as the Creator?

Answer: When we return together to the common soul, will we be able to attain the Creator in relation to us? Yes, but just like any actions of our world, we comprehend the action, for example, the effect of electricity, magnetism, gravity, etc. That is, we will attain these phenomena, but not Him.

In Kabbalah, in various places, it is hinted that there is another degree when creation breaks away from itself, becomes included in the Creator, and begins to attain not His consequences, not His effect, but Him. However, I cannot imagine such an ascent. This is beyond the bounds of absolute correction. It is quite possible that this also exists.

The fact is that at these stages of our development we are absolutely changing. Our system of perception, logic, everything is changing. We no longer live in three-dimensional space: good-bad, reception-bestowal. We begin to exist in completely different dimensions. Therefore, it is a problem to say what exists during the attainment of the Creator. So far, it is a problem.

Understand the Creator

Question: What is it when a person creates something from materials as the Creator, if everything is an illusion?

Answer: We do not create anything as the Creator. Only if we begin to receive the upper light, then with its help we will be able to work on our essence, on our egoism, on our desires. We will then be able, in some way, to the extent of our similarity to the Creator, begin understanding His actions, but not His essence.

It is written, “Love will cover all crimes.” What crimes are we talking about? Crimes are everything that prevents me from entering spirituality. I do not commit any crimes because initially, I am full of them as a result of the shattering of the soul arranged by the Creator. When we begin to study Kabbalah and work in a group, we understand what it is that disallows us from revealing the spiritual world and the Creator and who obscures the true reality from us, plugs our ears, shuts our eyes and all our senses. We are in an illusory world that has no connection with reality; it is all crimes because it conceals spirituality from us.

The Creator has prepared all these crimes, this concealment we live inside. We need to know this in order to understand that concealment is my whole life and existence.

Concealment is a result of my qualities because “everyone judges according to one’s own flaws.” Therefore, I depict the world inside my qualities and see it as corrupted instead of seeing the real world outside of me.

The wisdom of Kabbalah helps us move from the world we are currently imagining to the real world. The real world is the Creator. The world of deception I am in now, the world of crime, is the anti-Creator. It is not just the opposite of the Creator where I see instead of Him, Pharaoh in all his strength and force of egoism. Such a Pharaoh I will reveal as the left line only at very high degrees of the Creator’s attainment.

Now, however, I childishly feel and imagine a small gloomy world inside my shallow desires. The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us the true perception of reality and how to turn deception into truth, which button to press in order to change the program to see, instead of a false representation, the true one.

There is only the means prepared by the Creator that can help me in this; it is the group. No matter how much I hate the friends and repel them because of my egoistic nature, the main thing is not to leave this path, but continue on and on, year after year. I agree to be in the search for truth, even if I will not achieve a visible result.

After all, it is better to be on the path to the truth, seeking the truth, rather than to live in a world of deception as in the effect of a deadly drug, inside the illusion created by the Creator for those who are not yet ready to turn a lie into truth.

In the entire reality, there is one part designated to help me and it is the group. The influence of the environment is the level with which I can turn the world. It seems so burdensome and boring to us, but little by little after many years we finally realize that there is no choice: The only means with which to change our world is to change ourselves through the group by subjugating before it.¹

The European convention portrays the shattered state of the world to us in the most internal, true form. The convention is my ten, only in a different resolution, zoomed in, on a different scale. Eight hundred friends who attended are my ten. I must relate to them in this way, after all, each of them carries a part of the Creator within himself.

If I treat everybody as one ten, I will not miss anything from my soul, I connect them together and get support from them because they want the same thing. It turns out that if we reach such intensity, through our joint efforts, we can reveal the Creator right on the spot, between us.

This is the first spiritual degree, the first exercise that we need to do according to the principle “love will cover all crimes.” Where does love come from? It comes from the fact that I love the spiritual point that is in everyone, “the divine part from above.” I connect these points building from them the image of the Creator.²

I have to see a thousand people as one group. This is my ten, only under the magnifying glass that multiplies everything a hundred times. All the disturbances and the connection that I want to reach above them—all of it is a hundred times bigger.³

The Creator Is the Only Reality

Question: Are we an integral reality together with the Creator?

Answer: No, by no means are we one single reality with the Creator. The only reality is the Creator Himself. We as if exist outside of Him.

This is some kind of phantom, some kind of “spirit” that supposedly exists outside of the Creator in order to begin to feel itself, position itself correctly with the Creator, and to get closer to Him.

Question: Is a question the most important element of practical work in studying the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: Yes. A question is of utmost importance to our spiritual advancement. However, it is unnecessary to ask a question and wait for its answer. You study it, want it answered, then you ask the Creator through the group and receive an answer.

All our advancement is comprised of questions and answers. The Passover tale about four sons speaks about this: even when you are in a state when you do not know how to ask a question, you must look for opportunities to have it. There is no advancement without it.

Question: Is a question considered a spiritual action?

Answer: Yes, of course. It is the left line, which is necessary for movement.

Question: Can a question be a real gift for a teacher or for a friend, an example of bestowing to the group?

Answer: In principle, yes.

Question: Is it worth asking a question if the methodology teaches us that questions that arise in us are revealed and clarified naturally in the course of our work in the group?

Answer: When you ask a question or do something in general, you should think about how you are helping others.
