The Creator is everywhere. This is the common, united, single, constantly operating force of the entire universe. Everything that exists besides Him is called a creation, specially created by Him and existing in Him.

We are inside the Creator—inside this common light. Our task is to reveal Him, to unite with Him, to achieve absolutely complete dissolution, unification, similarity, and adhesion with Him.

This is the meaning or reason for creating created beings that are opposite to the Creator. Our work, our goal is to understand what the qualities of the Creator are and how we can change ourselves to come closer to Him.

This is the essence of human existence in our world in the state in which we find ourselves—in a state that is created by the upper light, working on our egoistic desire to receive, enjoy, maintain ourselves at every moment of life only for ourselves.

This desire automatically works in us, and we must realize it and understand it—whether we agree with it or not—and then rise above it in order to achieve coupling, connection, and agreement with the Creator.

Comment: You often say that it is worth focusing not on the teacher, but on the Creator.

My Response: Of course; otherwise, you are idol worshiping.

Comment: But I do not know what the Creator is.

My Response: Yes, but the moment you start idolizing some person, kissing his hands, giving him gifts—that’s it! You are already focused on him. Subconsciously, you lock yourself onto him, depend on him, and believe he will secure your future, instead of you yourself.

It already deprives you of choice, freedom of will, and freedom of action. You rely on him, become small, and stop growing. Therefore, Kabbalah forbids this.

Question: But how can we focus on the Creator if we do not feel spirituality?

Answer: You must create Him precisely from disparate manifestations, accidents, and everything that arises in you, from all your friends, and unite all this into one single, maximally possible spiritual force.

Try to gather everything you feel into one force—there is none else besides Him, the good that does good.

Aim all your inner feelings, understanding, what is in your heart and mind, absolutely everything that you see, seem to see, think, only toward one single force—the good who does good; there is none else besides Him. Through His numerous manifestations, He gives you an enormous amount of different information, impressions, sensations, and thoughts so you can gather everything together into one whole.

And then you will reveal Him, for as you make efforts, your soul forms a single vessel within you, an instrument similar to the Creator.

Question: Can people realize the evil of their egoistic nature without knowing about the upper force that created this evil?

Answer: Of course. This information is not necessary for some people. They can simply receive a proper upbringing under which influence they will change.

Comment: But it is said that the Creator created evil and the Torah as a means of correction. It turns out that one cannot manage without the Torah.

My Response: The Torah is the upper light, the highest altruistic force, which we must draw to ourselves. Then it will correct us. Without this, it is very difficult.

Comment: So without the Creator, it is impossible to recognize evil.

My Response: Generally, yes.

Question: We are a creation, but within each of us, there is a point in the heart, a particle of the Creator’s nature.

Is it possible to ever attain the essence of the Creator, the nature of the Creator, and in a way become the Creator?

Answer: You cannot have the desire to attain the essence of the Creator. You can only have the desire to be similar to Him. We cannot jump above our nature.

Some degrees are revealed to us as degrees of higher attainment than just the qualities of bestowal. But we are not there yet.

We need to think about how to become similar to the Creator. From this similarity, we will understand Him.

Question: What does it mean to let the Creator into the mutual guarantee?

Answer: When we talk about mutual guarantee, we mean the right connection between people. That is, we ask ourselves how we should be united in order to represent a reliable earthly system of interconnected people.

There are people who understand that their egoistic desires play with them so much that they are unable to control themselves. If we look at humanity from the outside, what is happening to us simply defies any justification because we are trying to destroy, humiliate, kill, and suppress each other. We are motivated to do this by our inner desire, which does not allow us to exist in peace.

We need to neutralize the evil inclination in a person in some way. There is only one salvation for this—the force existing in nature that is able to balance our egoism. But we need to attract it to ourselves. This positive force is called the Creator.

Maxiver writes:

Please tell me, what is the Creator’s name? When I ask Him for something, it seems necessary to call Him by name. After all, when I ask someone for something, I address them by name. So how should I address the Creator?

My Response: Abba.

Question: Do you mean “Father”?

Answer: Father.

Question: Is that how we should perceive Him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: When you say the word “Abba,” “Father,” what do you mean by it?

Answer: That He is my root; I grow from Him.

Question: Can we tell Him absolutely everything, or are there some prohibitions?

Answer: No, there are no prohibitions. Avinu, Our Father.

Question: When it says, “Our Father in heaven,” what does that mean?

Answer: That He is above us and determining all our paths.

Question: Is that what is meant by “in heaven”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What does the collective universal consciousness give?

Answer: The sensation of the Creator.

When one comprehends absolutely complete mutual penetration, a combination of all disassembled, distant souls, then their multiple embedding into one another and their connection, to the extent that they are all different, all opposite to each other in their multidimensional space and at the same time all united, connecting in the same multidimensional spaces, preserving their oppositeness, all this becomes such an intertwined, multidimensional receptacle of sensation that this is exactly how the primordial force that gave birth to everything, called the Creator, is attained. This way we can finally feel It, get to It! And He is there, inside. He is not hiding, but it is there, inside, that we begin to feel Him.

In such a way we can finally feel Him, reach Him! And He is there, inside. He does not hide, but it is precisely there, inside, that we begin to feel Him.

Question: And who gave birth to this original force, the Creator?

Answer: We do not know that. We do not ask such a question because we need to reach the Creator. We don’t even understand how we do it.

And when we begin to attain Him, then He already takes us, united together with Him, because we have reached His state, His external quality, His external manifestation toward us, and we go somewhere with Him. He takes us out of this state to somewhere further away where it is unknown. Into some subsequent attainments that are called the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth millennia.

Our maximum unification is called “6,000 years.” Then comes the “Sabbath.” the so-called “seventh millennium,” when we are fully united together and reveal the upper force that created this state. And then, after already being united during the seventh millennium state, we go together with this force to an unknown place and transition to the next state.

Baal HaSulam even writes about the tenth millennium, but it is completely incomprehensible to us. It is impossible to imagine, because such unification is beyond our senses or analysis in the mind.

To achieve Dvekut, they must achieve equivalence of form, meaning “As He is merciful, you, too, are merciful (Rabash, Article No. 16, 1984, “Concerning Bestowal”).

Question: What does it mean, “as He is merciful”? It is not like I have the Creator before my eyes, and I understand what He does and take His example.

Answer: This is not necessary. The Creator’s actions do not matter to you. You must do them yourself rather than study what the Creator does. If you want to do something good for Him that pleases in feeling and action, then you must do it.

The essence of actions for the sake of the Creator is that if the Creator is great in your eyes, doing something for Him will bring you enjoyment because this is the purpose of creation.

Therefore, man’s task is to make the Creator great in his eyes. Since he does not know who the Creator is but knows His main property is bestowal, he must magnify this property.

It turns out that if the property of bestowal is essential in a person’s life, he can perform actions for the sake of bestowal and even enjoy them.

Question: Does the desire to become like the Creator lead me to pleasure?

Answer: If you desire it, then of course it leads to pleasure. You are happy, you enjoy it, you are proud of it.

Question: There is a Creator on whom everything depends. There is a Creator whom we must know and feel after uniting in a group. And there is also a Creator who is inside a person. Is it all one Creator or different upper forces, each with its own purpose and potential?

Answer: We can count a thousand so-called Creators, but all these are His actions, not Himself.

There are no upper forces except the Creator. Everything that seems to be forces acting on us arises only to mislead us. There is no one besides Him.

The third commandment of the Torah is “to know that there is a great and ruling God in the world,” which includes the entire universe.

At the heart of His attitude toward everything from micro to macro is that everything is filled only with love and care so that this world would exist in harmony with Him.

The instruction to know the Creator means not just to believe, but to feel within and around you that everything comes from the Creator and calls us to absolute love.

The fourth commandment says that the Creator is almighty. In other words, there is no other force except the Creator that governs the world and influences it in any way.

The fifth commandment calls everyone to engage in the Torah, i.e., to study the internal laws of the universe, accept them, and act according to them.
