Question: In what way are the spiritual methods of the East different from the wisdom of Kabbalah? After all, they apparently speak about similar things.

Answer: There are 3,800 religions and faiths in the world. All of the main religions actually came from Abraham who lived in ancient Babylon close to 3,500 years ago.

Abraham taught his method, meaning the wisdom of Kabbalah, to a small group that he called Israel. And he gave gifts, or other forms of faith, to the rest of the people. The Torah says that Abraham gave gifts to the children of his concubines and sent them eastward, where all of these methods reach back to us.

The difference is that the method of Abraham possesses the ability to correct a person, something that doesn’t exist in any other method. The wisdom of Kabbalah makes it possible for us to attract the good force towards us that is concealed in nature and that will correct our hatred towards each other to love. This good force is added to our egoistic nature and we become bearers of two forces. The integration of these two forces makes it possible for us to work with them, develop correctly, and discover an additional form of reality that is found outside of us.

Modern physics talks about the existence of a reality such as this. Besides the universe, the world that we see now, there are other forms of reality. The wisdom of Kabbalah makes it possible for us to go out beyond the framework of the limitations of this world and see higher worlds. Possibilities like this don’t exist in any other method because they don’t contain the Light that Reforms. The uniqueness of the Torah is that it contains a force that corrects our nature and raises us above the ego to a nature of bestowal and love, in that it opens our eyes, as it is said, “You will see your world in your lifetime” (Berachot 17a).

The Torah, “Numbers” 1:48 – 1:51: The Lord spoke to Moses saying: Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, and you shall not reckon their sum among the children of Israel. But you shall appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony, over all its vessels and over all that belong to it; they shall carry the Tabernacle and they shall minister to it, and they shall encamp around the Tabernacle. When the Tabernacle is set to travel, the Levites shall dismantle it; and when the Tabernacle camps, the Levites shall erect it; any outsider [non Levite] who approaches shall be put to death.

“Levites” is the attribute of Bina in a person that is the true vessel for receiving the Upper Light, the Shechina (the revelation of the Creator). This is the reason that they can approach the Tabernacle. All our other attributes are forbidden to do so since the closer one approaches the Tabernacle, the greater the Light that is revealed and a person will not be able to reveal it for the sake of love and bestowal, just as it happened to the sons of Aaron, Nadav and Avihu, who thought that they were already corrected.

Question: What do the priests (Cohens) and the Levites engage in?

Answer: The Cohens are the embodiment of the spiritual government and they engage mainly in ideological work while the Levites teach the people. They are the teachers and guides who work with the masses. The role of the Cohens is to serve the Levites and the nation for the sake of the Creator. The role of the Levites is to serve the Cohens and the nation for the sake of the Creator. The people should only think about how to ascend to that level. This is the only thing they need to worry about.

The priests are GAR of Bina and the Levites are ZAT of Bina and so the Levites are the part that bestow unto the vessels of receiving (unto the people).

Firstly, when Jacob’s family first went to live in Egypt, his was a family of 70 people. Everything the Torah tells us about takes place only on the spiritual levels, and all the calculations are realized in the intensity of the bestowal that is felt among people who yearn for connection. This is their only yearning, desire, and action.

Abraham took thousands of his followers from Babylon in his time, but 70 or tens of thousands are different levels of measuring. Tens of thousands refers to the number of people, while 70 refers to their spiritual intensity. Israel is a big system (Partzuf), while Jacob is a small structure that contains seven Sefirot from Malchut to Hesed. Seven Sefirot that are multiplied by ten levels in each Sefira add up to 70 parts.

Secondly, according to the Torah, 600,000 men left Egypt. These numbers indicate that the Israeli nation naturally multiplied, and Jacob’s small family became a nation of millions of souls. There is nothing unnatural about this since Egypt is the egoism. When I am in huge egoism, all the desires in me naturally grow and swell and expand as a result of the environment I am in.

When the nation of Israel first entered Egypt, it was small, but full of Light. The attribute of love and bestowal was among them, and a person was among them despite his will. During the first seven years of satiety, it was normal, but, during the seven years of hunger that followed, the Egyptians enter me and begin to trouble me internally, forcing me to yearn for their ideals. I look at them and see how attractive they are, how they begin to live inside me, how I absorb them and cannot get rid of them.

However, the struggle between the Egyptians and the Israelis in me invoke the feeling of the slavery in Egypt. Up until now, I haven’t defined my state in Egypt as slavery because I wasn’t under the spiritual domination of the Egyptians and everything was normal. Now, however, I begin to discover to what extent they affect me, and therefore I must do something about it. I reach a state in which it is better to die in the Red Sea or in the desert than to live in Egypt. Spiritual death is better than living in complete rejection of the Creator.

Question: But why do I enter Egypt with a force of 70 people and come out of there with a force of 600,000 men with 3 million women, elderly, and children behind them?

Answer: This is what I could egoistically absorb from the Egyptians. Although I resisted them, they still entered me, and I absorbed different desires, yearnings, attributes, and goals from them. Then I corrected them inside me, which means that I grew in a spiritual sense and saw that I cannot remain among the Egyptians anymore otherwise I would be buried under them. These desires want me to remain in them, so I can thus influence the world.

It is the work in Egypt that the Jews gave the world in the last two thousand years. Basically, we shouldn’t have engaged in it, and this is the reason that these actions are called exile. This isn’t the reason that we were given such talents, and no one is benefitting from them. Therefore, humanity doesn’t take our corporeal contribution to the development of the world into account. They are expecting something else from us. We must come out of Egypt, which is the embodiment of the entire world, and isolate ourselves spiritually, attain an inner unity among us, and then correct Egypt and the entire world.

The Torah, “Numbers” 1:46 – 1:47: The sum of all those who were counted: six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty. But the Levites, according to their father’s tribe were not numbered among them.

The Levites are a totally separate part that is in every person who engages in spiritual work.

The soul is divided into several parts:

• Keter, Hochma, Bina
• Hesed, Gevura, Tifferet
• Netzah, Hod, Yesod, and Malchut.

Furthermore, it is divided into lines: the right line, the left line and the middle line.

The Levites belong to the part of the head that we cannot count and calculate because it is only part of the process of our correction. When we attain the complete state of the end of correction, they also will become part of the general account. This is the reason that the spiritual path of the Levites is not taken into account. We use them, but they are actually part of the Creator inside me.

And bring thou near unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that they may minister unto Me in the priest’s office, even Aaron, Nadav and Avihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons. (Exodus 28:1)

“Aaron thy brother, and his sons” are part of the higher desires of the person that he must raise and shape within himself in such a form so that with their help he renews contact with the rest of his characteristics and the Creator.

The Creator speaks only with Moses who becomes the conduit between Him and Aaron and his sons, and these in turn are used as conduits from Moses to everyone else. Everything is done hierarchically from above to below.

Question: When does a person become a conduit for the Light?

Answer: A person becomes a conduit when his personal point concerned only with connecting with what is above and what is below is revealed. That is, if a person has a soul, it is divided into two halves, and in the middle between the two halves is his freedom of choice.

A person’s freewill is that everything that above this point he must give upward, and everything that is below it, he gives below. And he is involved only in this, without wanting something for himself. And this is the structure called Adam (Man).

After all, our physical body is not a man in the spiritual sense, but in the words of Frederick Engels, a proteinaceous form of existence.

Ultimately the role of every person in this world is to become a conduit for the Light. This is because only in this way does he gather the entire world into a single whole unit where nothing is left of each but a decision to belong to the past and the future. Through this connection, all people form themselves into the next state of nature called the soul. And what fills it is called the Upper Light or the Creator.

The Zohar, “Pekudei,” Part 1: These are the accounts of the Tabernacle. It says that all the rivers run to the ocean and the ocean is never full. All the rivers are rivers and holy springs, the Sefirot of ZA, which were filled and came out to illuminate and to fill the big ocean, which is Malchut. And because the big ocean is filled by these rivers, it waters all the field animals, as it says, and they shall water all the field animals which are the levels of BYA.

Question: Why does the section Pekudei, begin with the worlds “these are the accounts…?”

Answer: Where else can you be counted if not in Malchut, which means in the desire that should be corrected and raised, and that you should work with? It is only after you discover the one general desire that you can see how it was shattered as a result of man’s sin that brought about the division and splitting of the one desire, which means that it led to the evolution of humanity. Only then is it possible to understand how humanity is gradually corrected even though it currently exists in the form of separate bodies, separated desires that have to be connected in order to be as one man in one heart and return to their source.

Therefore, there are clear instructions in the Torah as to how we should reach this state. The connection is fulfilled with the help of the Upper Light that created the general desire and provides it with energy and the plan of its evolution.

We see how everything develops in the world, but we don’t know where it all stems from, where the source of energy for this development is, and what its plan is. We simply exist in it and unlike the still, vegetative, and animate levels of nature, we can look at ourselves from the side, look at nature around us and see that it all develops in a certain direction.

“All the rivers flow to the sea,” these are rivers of Light that flow through the world of Atzilut and gradually correct the parts of Malchut and bring us to connection.

Part of our corporeal desires, called the animals of the field, are nourished by the Upper Light and this is how we develop. Everything we have built on this planet is the result of the evolution of our unconscious, corporeal, egoistic (for the time being) desire.

There are different theories and sciences that attempt to understand the process of our evolution, but in the end they contribute nothing and have no effect on the general evolution.

Their attempts to impose a certain ideology in an artificial manner lead to nothing as we saw in the USSR, Cuba, China and other tyrannies that implemented approaches that contradict natural evolution. Eventually they had to give up their principles, ideologies, and plans that were allegedly correct, and they returned to the normal egoistic perception that nature leads us along.

Question: But aren’t all the communist regimes based on a certain feeling of connection?

Answer: Of course, the communist regimes are the oldest type of regimes; in primitive society everything was collective, so we can call it communist. It is not a new idea.

The era of opportunism followed the era of Marx’s ideas and unfortunately distorted his ideas. Instead of educating people to cooperate and directing them to general acceptance and equality, because the advanced movement actually depends on education and knowledge, many societies began establishing forceful tyrannies that eventually were opposite to nature.

According to the wisdom of Kabbalah we learn how the rivers, which means the Light, enter Malchut of Atzilut. Only a small part, the upper part of Malchut, which is Keter, enters the world of Atzilut and all the other nine Sefirot of Malchut are in the worlds of Beria, Yetzira, and Assiya. Our world is the last level of the world of Asiya.

The rivers of Light affect our ego, develop it, and force each of us to recognize our lowliness and the lowliness of the egoistic society that we are building. How can we change that and raise the worlds of Beria, Yetzira, and Assiya, including our world, which is the lowest of the worlds, to the world of Atzilut? After all, the inclination of human evolution should be aimed only at that.

The Torah gives us the instructions for the right solution to this problem, which is to reach an equivalence of form with the Light! But we don’t want to do that because the Light shows us that we have to give up our egoism and start working above it, connecting to one another because the world of Atzilut is the world of absolute connection between all the separate forces and inclinations.

“Atzilut” stems from the Hebrew word “Etzlo” -“in Him,” which means a corrected desire in which the full attribute of the Light is revealed.

This means that we have to try to be part of the current that directs us to Malchut of Atzilut despite all the diversions from the major inclination. Humanity begins to realize that there is no other way and that there is an accurate plan according to which we must advance, otherwise we are will be facing the threat of annihilation.

Midrash Raba, Numbers: “Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel…” the calculation refers only to those who were born Jews and not the mixed multitude (erev rav).

Question: It says in Midrash Raba that the calculation refers only to the twelve tribes, but not to those who followed them (the hoard).

Answer: The mixed multitude refers to the egoists that cannot be corrected because they do not obey the spiritual laws. They do not subdue themselves before them and don’t participate in the general unity and connection. They are nourished by different spiritual sources, trying to grab and use as much as they can for their own sake. They always graze next to the attribute of love and bestowal—near those who truly yearn for and aim at the Creator—in order to grab their share. This is their only source of life, and they are always around the camp of those who yearn for the Creator because they cannot detach themselves from them as they nourish them and it is their source of life.

By the way, this doesn’t refer to the nations of the world. If they feel bad, they understand that Israel is responsible for that for some reason because they are not fulfilling their mission.

The Torah, “Numbers” 1:1 – 1:3: “The Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai Desert, in the Tent of Meeting on the first day of the second month, in the second year after the exodus from the land of Egypt, saying: “Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by families following their fathers’ houses; a head count of every male according to the number of their names. From twenty years old and upwards, all who are fit to go out to the army in Israel, you shall count them by their legions you and Aaron.”

“The Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai Desert,” means that we are starting to look at everything that happens through the state of Moses in us.

Question: What is the meaning of: “Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by families following their fathers’ houses?”

Answer: It refers to the complete attainment of the structure of the soul on the current level. On the whole we are rebuilding the general soul that has been revealed to man and then was shattered. Its rebuilding has to be fulfilled according to certain phases. Every unit must have a concrete role and precise connections with the others.

How do we do that? The general soul is made of five parts: Keter, and four other parts which we mark by the letters “Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey.” The zero part (Keter) cannot be divided. It is like a point that everything stems from. Each of the following parts is divided into three lines: the right line, the left line, and the middle line. The three lines are multiplied by four thus creating the twelve tribes.

This is how the calculation of each tribe is done: Have we all reached the state of wandering in the desert? This means that we have done everything in our power, that we have assembled everything above the attribute of absolute bestowal, and therefore we have nothing. Each of us is no one and nothing; we are in the desert. It is actually on top of this assembly that we can examine the building of the general soul, which means the intensity of each part of the twelve. This is called “take the sum of all the congregation” (the calculation) and this stems from the twelve sons of Jacob.

We examine the general structure of the whole soul and especially the general assembly of people (which are actually not people but their yearning to the Creator), and to what extent each of them annuls his self, to what extent he is connected to others and how together they all create one unique and unified system.

But what is the intensity of this system? To what extent are the parts of Hochma, Bina, Hesed, Gevura, Tifferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, and Malchut properly connected and act in mutual harmony? This is how we examine the state of the general soul.

Each of the five parts of the Torah represents a totally new level in a person’s development or in the development of a group of people who want to fulfill the conditions of the Torah in order to rise to the level of the Creator.

The Torah is like a spiritual elevator that raises our properties to a new level. Those who enter it and shut the doors are ready to work on themselves against their ego. They go through five egoistic phases, which are increasingly greater in their intensity and Aviut (thickness) because egoism is crafty.

While studying each of the five parts of the Torah, the ego grows not only in quantity, but also in quality. This is a very difficult and complicated process. But at the same time, a person grows wiser and begins to understand his egoistic nature. Moreover, it penetrates the connections between all parts of nature, just as one enters a certain organization and discovers how people are connected to one another, the organization’s policies, and the ties of mutual connections between different departments etc.

In spiritual work, however, a person clarifies human nature and the nature of the soul. His advancement is on a higher level, gives greater penetration into the individual and the general connection of all the parts of the soul and all of the creation.

At the beginning, he perceives the general creation in a simple manner, like a small child. Then he is split, upgraded, and separated into parts so that by their connections and their division, a person penetrates more deeply into this system. He discovers new obstacles, new mutual connections, individual laws, etc., and so he studies and examines it from the beginning (Genesis) to the end.

He grows in the transition from one part of the Torah to another and can be told about the laws of creation and be held responsible for keeping them. There is an egoistic desire in a person to discover the Creator that occurs despite the unity with others. A certain formula has to work in it: I connect and unite with the others in order to discover the Creator in the connection between us because this is how I can fill Him with joy, just as He wants to fill me. It is in this state that I unite with Him.

When we begin to relate to our conditions correctly, different forces of help, support, and resistance appear in us. They are gradually revealed: first on the zero level of desire and then on levels one, two, three, and four, a total of five levels. There are the five books of the Torah. In these phases we move from the first word in Genesis “Bereshit” – “In the beginning” to the last word “Israel.”

We distinguish between two parts along our spiritual path: the part that advances toward the attribute of love and bestowal, toward the Creator, contact, connection, and adhesion with everyone, and the part that opposes that and constantly wants to take for itself.

When I am between these two states, I must constantly examine and check myself as to whether I am not stealing in corporeality or in spirituality, whether I am doing anything wrong in my mind or my feelings in order to benefit personally from that. This is where the problem is. First, I mustn’t receive any benefit, but even if I do have such benefits, everyone must agree that they are part of my job. Suppose I need a car in order to visit building sites or that I need helpers in my work and some people should be allocated for this job. In that case, everything must be open and clear to everyone, without question.

On the whole we are shown the corrected society that we must build. Every member in the society must receive only what he deserves and needs for his existence, and give everything else to the society. This is called the level of Moses who is an example for all the others.

There are always such problems in a person’s spiritual work, and we can see that throughout history even back in the days of the temple when the people lived on a spiritual level. There always have been serious problems, but they were on a spiritual level even though they are described in a corporeal language.

Question: So here we have to keep in mind that when we are building spirituality, we should not have “pockets.”

Answer: In those times, that was the case on the corporeal level. We usually understand that if someone wants to steal, no one can stop him. However, no one is foolish enough to put a piece of gold in his pocket.

A person should have no desires in order to receive, which means a place where he wants to receive for himself. A Masach (Screen) should be only in order to bestow. It is only about bestowal. This is the level of Moses.

It seems complicated when we read about it, but it is easy when we are in the right environment. Then there are no problems. The environment provides us with the right level and the support by which we float as if on air.
