Question: Can you tell people whether there is a God or not?

Answer: There is a single force of all nature in all the worlds including our imaginary world. It is called Olam Amedume—the imaginary world. So the highest power that includes absolutely everything, of course, us too, is called the Creator.

Question: And how should we interact with Him, with this nature, as you say, with the Creator?

Answer: This is what Kabbalah teaches. You have definitely come out on a direct line: “How am I supposed to address the Creator? What should I do? How do I find Him? How do you regulate your state relative to Him? And anyway, what should I do with my life? How do I live? What if I get something for it?”

And here we need to understand what the Creator is. So what does Kabbalah do? It tells you how to behave so that you do not feel bad.

And why do you pray? It is about actually feeling the remote control of the world and really starting to control your destiny. It is given to man. And the upper force that we know, the Creator, wants us to come to this.

The Creator, the originator, the upper force is an unchangeable concept. The whole reality was created with a single thought. But the question arises: did it happen at some point or has it always been there?

It is we, the creations, who live within the framework of time, and therefore it seems to us that reality is changing. But in fact, we are in a constant reality where everything, both the highest and the lowest, are in a state of final correction. And it is this entire reality that we need to reveal.

Reality itself is already perfect; there is no development in it, and nothing new arises. Changes occur only in relation to a person. This is the reality we need to uncover by finding out who we really are. Are there really so many of us, or is it all one person with so many different thoughts, desires, and actions?

From the Creator’s side, reality is constant, just as He created it. But a person has the opportunity to participate in the revelation of this reality and determine the speed and nature of its revelation, and most importantly, for whom are we making efforts, when we try to reveal this reality?

Initially, a single thought operates: the thought of creation.

“The whole of reality was emanated and created with a single thought. It is the operator; it is the very operation; it is the sought-after reward, and it is the essence of the labor” (Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, “Inner Observation”).

That is, the thought includes everything, and we only need to try to join it, to want to be included in it. All our work and efforts are aimed toward this.

The Creator has revealed the thought of creation to us, that is, His attitude toward us; from His side, everything is completed. But if we strive to identify ourselves with the thought of creation, then through this we attain the Creator. By trying to reveal the thought of the Creator, we get to know Him, to feel Him, to become included in Him, to unite with Him.

He wants us to reveal this entire thought. If from our place below we rise to its height, to the root of the thought of creation, to the point in which this thought originated in the Creator, then in this way we draw closer to Him, not to the thought, but to the Creator Himself, and reveal Him.

There is nothing but one thought—the thought of creation, which includes everything. Only we, the creations, do not yet understand or feel this. But we are within this design and are governed by it. All our work takes place within it. This thought is the entire creation, its design, and there is nothing else besides it.

“Everything is resolved in thought,” and everything was created by thought. There is no matter; all of reality is encompassed in thought. Interestingly, modern scientists, being absolute materialists, say that the universe is thought. And researchers of the human brain claim that all our thoughts, desires, and decisions exist outside the person and the brain is merely an instrument that detects this thought and transmits it to us.

Thus, science is gradually approaching the fact that Kabbalists discovered long ago, that there is nothing in existence but the Creator’s design, and we exist within it. And although we divide reality into forces, matter, feelings, and intellect, in essence, only the Creator’s thought operates, and we exist within it.

We need to attain this thought of the Creator’s regarding creation, and then we will know Him, not He Himself, but His attitude toward creation. There is only this one thought. And all the various opposite qualities that we perceive are meant to reveal the depth and uniqueness of this thought.

There is none else besides Him, but we attain this fact from the reverse side, through the multitude of actions and manifestations of the Creator toward us, which are very diverse and contradictory.

And it is precisely all these paradoxes and contradictions, which do not allow us to understand or accept what is happening, that push us toward such development that, above knowledge and by uniting all opposites, we attain the Creator. It is impossible to attain Him in any other way than through two opposites that merge and complement one another.

All of reality was created by a single thought of the Creator. This one thought begins and concludes the entire process that creation must undergo. It is itself both the entire reality and the final reward. Everything except the desire of the Creator is contained within this thought that realizes His intention. It emanates from the Creator and within it all the created beings are manifested.

The expected reward is also embedded in it because all actions and all their outcomes are directed toward reaching the end of correction.

It is said that a person must place the Creator as a King over himself. That is, it is not enough that the Creator has prepared everything for us, the creation and its development, all that exists and will be. What matters is that the human being must also engage in the work to study the actions of the Creator and to elevate Him to the upper reality: to place Him as a King over himself.

A person strives to study creation on all its levels and through this gain the ability to connect everything to the upper force. Then he sees that this upper force is the Creator.

If one makes the correct choice and walks the correct path in the world in which he was created, he gradually reveals the force that governs this world and feels the necessity to bow before it.

As a person draws closer to nature, he discovers that within it, there is one upper force encompassing everything, including the person himself. It is this force we must reveal through our connection with one another.

In striving to come closer and unite ever more deeply with the friends, we gradually come to see that all of this has been prepared for us by the Creator and that it leads to the revelation of the Creator at the center of our unity. There is no other way.

The quality of such work elevates a person above everything else because through it, he takes steps toward resembling the Creator. When a person attains even the slightest similarity with the Creator, through his adhesion to the upper, he begins to rise toward Him. The work of connection brings us closer to the upper force.

We are a system of absolute interconnection. Parents, children, grandparents, and so on are all equal components of the one, unified system.

Question: How should I relate to children?

Answer: Children are not really “children,” they are actually adults who simply perceive the world in a more limited way. But to the extent that they do perceive it, they must engage with it intelligently. You should explain this to them, and treat them that way, and they will understand this.

Question: So I shouldn’t baby them, but treat children like adults?

Answer: Of course, the way you relate to children and your family is how you correct yourself and your soul.

Question: What about how I relate to my wife or a wife to her husband?

Answer: It is exactly the same as to yourself! The most important thing is to support each other in your mutual efforts, in understanding what is happening with you.

Question: What does it mean to make concessions to another so as not to crush them but to concede? What is it?

Answer: It means that I annul myself.

Question: Just like that? Can I just do it?

Answer: Yes, simply annul yourself.

Question: For what purpose? If I do it, there must be a reason, right?

Answer: So that you can be a correct element within the system of creation. It is about having a rational attitude toward everything.

Question: Because we are all inside one system, right? And we need to align with it?

Answer: Yes. The integral system of nature must be revealed to us, within us, around us, more and more in our perception. Within it, we will see the vast program called “the Creator.”

We are all within one system, one world, one sphere, one globe. Inside this sphere everyone is equal, interconnected, benevolent, and bound by mutual feelings of love, concession, and support.

No one thinks about themselves, everyone thinks only about others. This is the law of the interconnected integral system of the world. We will inevitably come to it! But the faster we do, the sooner we will understand what nature, or the Creator, whatever you call it, is demanding from us, and we will truly discover a beautiful future.

The force that is changing us today and turning all of humanity upside down—what is it? What is this little program?

The internal force in this program is the upper force of nature. It manifests specifically in the human being, and the human is the highest stage in nature’s development. It changes him; it is directed specifically at him.

The faster we come to the integral interaction of all parts of nature, the faster we come to understand that it represents an integral system of interaction, mutual support, and so on, and the faster we will come to a state of happiness, fulfillment, and eternity! Not to death, as it is today, but to eternity and perfection.

All of this will become visibly manifest between us. We will see it before our very eyes.

Question: How can we acquire the force called Moses? After all, you say that it doesn’t exist in nature.

Answer: Moses (from the Hebrew word “Moshech” –  to pull) is the attribute that awakens in us and raises us from the bottom of Mount Sinai to its summit, to the peak of the general hatred. When a person climbs above it, he attains the Creator who is at the peak.

It is impossible to bypass this mountain; we must climb it. This is the way for the entire world. Today, all of humanity is at the foot of Mt. Sinai, surrounded by the enormous hate that separates us. But at the same time, the method called the Torah is revealed. The Torah is the light that reforms at the summit of the mountain.

We don’t have to make any special efforts, and there is nothing to fear. When we acquire the enormous hatred, we are at the bottom of the mountain where we receive the method by which we gradually can ascend by mutually complementing and helping one another.

Then Mount Sinai becomes the temple mount, at the top of which there is the temple, the place where the Creator is revealed.

This is basically the essence of Pesach (Passover). This is the reason that the calendar of the nation, of the new humanity, begins on this holiday.

Before the receiving of the Torah, mankind developed like animals, but from that moment onward, there was a connection with the Creator, with the force that can raise us continuously above the ego and help us climb the mountain of hatred by getting closer to one another.

At the same time, we attain the Creator to a greater degree, because two forces already appear in us, the egoistic force and the altruistic force. When we build ourselves from these two forces a state called the attainment of the Creator or the soul appears between them.

The two forces descend from above, and we make efforts not to mutually annul them but to connect them by placing our resistance between them, trying to recreate the harmony between them by connecting and adding all the disconnected parts. Then this harmony creates our soul, our upper existence.

This is the reason that we consider Pesach to be the major and most important holiday, because symbolizes the beginning of the creation of man, Adam, (from the Hebrew “Domeh” – to resemble the Creator).

There are, of course, many subtleties, laws, and different nuances that only speak of how to properly cover the ego with the attribute of love, and that’s all. Everything comes down only to this!

We can study this holiday down to the smallest detail, about why eating certain things is allowed and why eating other things is forbidden, about why Pesach is seven days, why we drink four glasses of wine, and why there are other customs that are described in the Haggadah.

However, these are merely actions that we must perform on every level to create the right connection between plus and minus, which are the attributes of receiving and bestowal, hate and love. We cover the hate with love, and together they will give us the sense of attainment, adhesion to the Creator.

Thus, we don’t simply come out of a small ego to love, but from our world to a perfect eternal world. This is the reason that Passover is indeed a special holiday.

Everything depends on desire; everything is revealed within it. Therefore we just need a properly organized, structured, and directed desire.

To shape our desire, to give it the right form that is ready to be filled by the Creator, the Creator plays a game with us. He alternately hides and conceals Himself. A person does not always recognize this game, but it goes on all the time and with everyone until the complete correction of everyone.

It is essential to constantly recognize that the entire world is nothing more than a manifestation of the Creator in various images: both those who oppose and those who love, those who hinder and those who help, those who are close and those who are distant, friends and complete strangers.

All these people, as well as inanimate nature, plants, animals, human thoughts, and desires, everything, except for the point of one’s own “I,” the point of observation from which a person strives to grow similar to the Creator, everything else in him comes from the Creator who plays this game, sometimes drawing a person closer, sometimes pushing them away.

But both the drawing close and the distancing are done with only one purpose: to stir a person, as it is said: “The upper light shakes and awakens desires.”

If, despite being thrown about, a person exerts all their strength to hold onto the thought that everything comes from the Creator because “There is none else besides Him” and the Creator is undoubtedly “Good and Does Good,” then their desires expand.

If they truly “hold on with their teeth” and don’t allow themself to disconnect from the thought and feeling that it is the Creator performing all the actions with them, then they begin to see how to use every moment of life correctly. After all, every opponent is, in reality, not an opponent at all, but a helper, someone who strengthens their grip on the Creator, especially in extreme states.

In this way, a person advances until they reach a state where they are ready for anything and can withstand everything, as long as they do not part from the Creator. And this is their only request.

It no longer matters to them what happens in their life; they ask for only one thing: “That I may dwell in the house of the Creator all the days of my life.” They even rejoice in all obstacles, for these expand their desires.

They see these obstacles as the most important exercises that are lovingly sent to them by the Creator, who is simply waiting for their readiness to be revealed to them.

Thus, a person progresses until they complete the entire process known as “concealment” or “the period of preparation,” and move from “Lo Lishma” to “Lishma.”

Comment: Dr. Yeshayahu Rubinstein, an Israeli scientist, claims that the helixes that make up our DNA are held together by a series of sulfur bonds that are in a pattern between base pairs of genetic material. The repeating pattern is 10, 5, 6, 5, which are the Hebrew letters (letters represent numbers in Hebrew) Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey, which is the name of God. From this, he asserts that God put His signature in our DNA.

Answer: The relationship between all possible properties of our DNA is manifested in a matrix called “The Name of the Creator.”

Dr. Rubinstein discovered a relationship determined in nature, which falls under Yod-Key-Vav-Key. This relationship is manifested in absolutely everything! Only sometimes we notice it, can reveal, research, and write down and sometimes not. But it is manifested everywhere because it is a general property of nature.

DNA is a human information record.

Question: Where is it located?

Answer: In our cells. Everything that we are is made up of protein structures that are built on the property of what is called “three lines” or a double helix and ladders that connect them together in Kabbalah.

This has been known from Kabbalah for 5,000 to 6,000 years. Maybe it was known before, but to whom?

Question: How can a person, in his physical growth, but also moral, mental, spiritual, and self-development, not break this spiral, but on the contrary, strengthen it? What does he need for this?

Answer: For this he needs to connect with the Creator. And then he will restore his broken connections.

That is why you need to reach a level where you can be in contact with the Creator, receive from Him that primordial force that will correct your DNA, your double helix, basically, restore the middle line between them.

Question: How does the realization that the Creator’s code is written in his structure help a person?

Answer: Of course! We all consist of these codes. All our cells, all organs consist of the relationships between various protein systems. The results of the Creator’s creation are recorded in them, how we were created by Him, “Him”  meaning, an upper force, a higher program.

Question: We know that sometimes the bridge breaks. Under what conditions does the presence of the Creator, His record, break?

Answer: It breaks when we do not observe any similarity to Him at all. By this we cause problems, illnesses, even death.

Question: What is His function within human DNA? What is the role of the Creator and how should we correspond to it?

Answer: Human DNA, as I have already said, consists of two parallel protein systems, between which there are connecting bridges, like steps of a ladder. This is in a very simplified form; there are a lot of all kinds of additions. They all come down to maintaining a balance between themselves that would correspond to their complete mutual, absolutely altruistic interaction. If this balance is achieved between them, then the correct signal is transmitted along these connecting steps, i.e., along small connecting devices (after all, protein systems are very complex) that balance the right and left lines.

Comment: How can a person become better?

Answer: Better? No problem! For this, he must want to become better. And in accordance with his desire, his spiral will change for the better. It will wind in the right direction, interact with other spirals, and will be in an absolutely optimal mode.

Question: How can a person establish contact, dialogue, as if checking the correctness of his actions with this system?

Answer: For this, he must be kind. Being kind means that he must put everyone above himself and exist in order to do good to others. Then his system will work correctly. It has such an internal style, meaning, mode, a mode of correct favor for oneself and for others.

Comment: Such a complex system!

Answer: It is not complicated. The principle of its operation is very simple.

Inside it is very complex, because it must be embodied in living matter, in animal matter, in biological matter. That is why it is difficult, because to translate the spiritual language, the language of feelings, bestowal, love, and connection into the language between practically non-living elements, proteins, requires a very large transformation.

It is necessary to make many different imprints on different levels of this system of mutually correct relations, until it descends to good interactions at the level of proteins. It is impossible to imagine!

Question: And how to take into account all these smallest details?

Answer: It is impossible. I remember asking myself the same question. And then I realized that at our deterministic level we cannot imagine, do, feel, create, build, connect, and assemble like a constructor.

The only thing we can do is to tune ourselves from the other side, from the side of goodness, love, interaction, rapprochement, and affection. And then these interactions will occur in us and will correspond to our hopes, our aspirations. We align our protein spirals with our aspirations.

Comment: That is, a person only needs to wish for something.

Answer: No, not just “you only need to wish for” and that’s it. This does not happen, it is not hocus-pocus. A person must work on himself, on his correct thoughts, desires, and good interactions with others, and then he will heal all his problems in the spirals with this.

Question: DNA is often called the building material of life since it contains the genetic code that is the basis of heredity.

That is, our heredity is to be absolutely, as you say, kind and act for the good of all. Why does man act in the opposite way? Where is this spiral broken?

Answer: No, it is not broken. We are specially created this way in order to consciously tune ourselves. We are created harmful, nasty, greedy, in short, selfish in everything, in order to tune ourselves correctly from this state and thus heal ourselves and others: ourselves, our offspring, the whole world around us.

Man is given the opportunity to correct himself, but for this he must work. For this he must meet a teacher and an appropriate group. He needs many conditions to begin to change himself so much that he could even correct his protein structure.

Question: Can we change our DNA?

Answer: What does “change” mean? Man can correct it. If he behaves correctly, all these errors are smoothed out.

When he functions correctly, they function correctly. He functions at the level of “Human,” interacts correctly with the personalities around it, and at the same time, all the spirals, proteins, etc. inside it also begin to interact correctly with each other. That is, from a higher level, from the mental, psychological, and even spiritual, he forces the lower structures to come into balance.

Question: What does it mean that a person acts correctly so that his system develops?

Answer: It means treating everyone with kindness. Moreover, this is when he attains the Creator. This is already the highest level. Then he becomes equal to the Creator by his nature, by his internal actions. From the outside, this may not be visible at all. And then his entire structure also gradually becomes absolutely corrected. Which is what I wish for all of you.

Question: Why does a person need this knowledge? Let’s say he knows that the code of altruism lives in him, and he can’t do anything about it.

Answer: There is this code of altruism in a person, which he must open; he needs to find the key to it and tune himself to it. He must do it. He will do it. Every person!

Comment: There is a genre of computer games called God simulators. In them, the player controls a community of game objects and characters in the role of some higher being with supernatural powers.

Many God simulators do not set any specific tasks for the player, giving him the opportunity to freely and unlimitedly develop the society under his wardship.

Currently, 2.3 billion people play them, a third of the world’s population. About 30 million people have been playing them for over 30 years.

What should be the behavior model of a person who enters the game of a supernatural being, entity, subject?

Answer: We must understand that the essence of a higher power lies in absolute goodness, in absolute love. God is the begetter of everything. That is, as parents treat a child, so God should treat his creatures. It does not matter what they do. He created them like this and loves them as they are.

First of all, a person who is implanted in the image of God must love all people no matter what they are, because in the end, they are like that because He created them that way.

Second, it is possible that He created them defective but wants to correct them in order to teach them who they are. Now they are defective, they were created by a supposedly bad God in order to bring them to a corrected state, and then they would determine that God is good after all.

He made them like this so that they would see, in comparison with their past state, how special and perfect the current state to which He is leading them is.

God, the highest power, who led them through all these states from the worst to the best, taught them to appreciate the good because good can only be appreciated from bad.

And when a person thus goes through all these states, he becomes a scientist, wise, absorbing, and comprised of all negative and positive states. That is, then he truly becomes a man, filled with all the states that can only exist in nature. And then he can really relate to everything correctly.

Question: As a result of this game where the main character is God and man plays Him, he understands what a real man is, what God is?

Answer: Man has one goal: to discover for himself what truth is, veracity, and not to make himself feel good like little children who want to turn the game around. He is interested in the truth.

Truth is where good and evil, betrayal and kindness, and loyalty are combined together—absolutely everything together—and complement each other! They complement each other instead of being mutually exclusive.

And there is not a single force, not a single phenomenon in nature that would be superfluous, that would have to be destroyed, erased. On the contrary, there is no good without evil and evil without good.

A person who wants to comprehend perfection comprehends it in the combination of all the forces of nature, all the properties of nature, and then he really consists of all these properties. If he strives for this, then his game is correct.

Question: Can one person play this role?

Answer: Everyone must reach a state when he is completely identical to God. This is the goal of his development, the goal of his existence. Therefore, he is called Adam, from the word “Edomeh,” similar to the Creator.

Question: If you were given a model of a game where one entity is the higher power, what would you add to it?

Answer: If I have to accept it as perfect, how can I add anything to it? I would contribute absolutely nothing to the world—not to myself, nor to it, nor to anyone. I can only use what has been given to me. Because everything has been given precisely so that I could reach the level of the Creator, each of us. Therefore, nothing can be changed in the world. It is only necessary to use it in order to constantly approach the ideal of the Creator.

Question: So the meaning of the game is to correctly combine the incompatible?

Answer: Correctly combine all the elements of nature, society, and your own, in order to achieve this ideal.
