Question: Are there people who have already sensed the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth millenniums?

Answer: There are quite a few souls who have achieved these states. For example, according to what Baal HaSulam writes, he also belongs to these souls. Meanwhile we are obliged to achieve this in mass because we have come to a state when all parts of the broken soul begin their complete correction.

Kabbalists of the past ingrained themselves in the soul as elements which have completed their preparation. They made their correction in every main part of the common soul. Now we have to add our part to theirs by filling the common soul with smaller and mass corrections.

Kabbalists of the past regenerated the main organs of the spiritual organism. Let’s say these are heart, kidneys, liver, and lungs. Now that this work is completed the whole organism has to gradually revive and connect to these organs. We are this organism which is gradually coming back to life.

The Torah, “Exodus” (VaYakhel), 35:4-35:6: And Moses spoke to the entire community of the children of Israel, saying: “This is the word that the Lord has commanded to say: ‘Take from yourselves an offering for the Lord; every generous hearted person shall bring it, [namely] the Lord’s offering: gold, silver, and copper; and blue, purple, and crimson wool; and linen and goat hair…

Our heart is the ego. But when a certain inclination to bestowal, connection, and love appears in a heart and it understands that it’s impossible to go on living egoistically, it’s called a generous heart.

Today we have already realized through suffering that we should somehow change humanity: our nature, society, the connections between us, because the world has already developed and has suffered enough in order to feel disappointed with its current egoistic evolution. Therefore, the word “generous,” in the spiritual sense, means “to give.” A generous heart is the recognition of our egoistic nature and working above it.

The Torah, “Exodus” (Ki Tissa), 34:29-34:30:So Moses came down from Mount Sinai. And as Moses came down from the mountain bearing the two tablets of the Pact, Moses was not aware that the skin of his face was radiant, since he had spoken with Him. Aaron and all the Israelites saw that the skin of Moses’ face was radiant; and they shrank away from him.

The vivid story of the Torah is expressed by images and so we may think that Torah is the source of the drawing of icons and figures with a halo. But in fact, icons came into use as a means for telling ignorant people what cannot be expressed in writing since people were illiterate. So the content of the Torah was passed on orally and expressed in pictures.

The pictures are original conventional symbols, each conveying a specific event, like the “life of the holy.” This is where all the icons and from which everything that we call the “pictures of the saints” stem from. On the whole it is a means of conveying information, since in those days there were no other means but drawings.

The Torah, “Exodus” (Ki Tissa), 34:29: So Moses came down from Mount Sinai. And as Moses came down from the mountain bearing the two tablets of the Pact… This is about Moses‘ descent back to Malchut. Having received the Light and the power to work with the egoistic desire, with the created being, he descends in order to start its correction.

The Torah, “Exodus” (Ki Tissa), 34: 29: …Moses was not aware that the skin of his face was radiant, since he had spoken with Him. Moses didn’t feel that he was full of the Light of Hochma that illuminates in Hassadim. A person doesn’t feel the level he is on because he lives in it and can only feel it when he ascends or descends relative to a certain environment. Just like a baby who can grow and become a king’s son or the son of a pauper, but who doesn’t realize his state yet. A person also measures his level only in comparison to others.

Thus, Moses doesn’t feel that he has acquired the level of Bina. The point is that when a person descends from the level of Bina in order to convey the upper Light to the lower, he doesn’t feel that what he brings to them is a heavy burden, as his immense personal gain, because he does it for them.

This means that the AHP appears from Bina only in order to give to the lower. So a person feels that he is in the attribute of bestowal, but he doesn’t feel to what extent this attribute is revealed in him in the form of physically giving the Light that stems from him to the lower. It’s below his level since he is on the level of Bina, which is characterized by “I have nothing and I don’t need anything.”

But when he begins to descend in order to convey everything to the people, he takes as much as they need with him, but he is not included in this bundle. The attribute of Bina annuls pride; there is complete self-annulment, and so a person doesn’t feel his state.

The Torah, “Exodus” (Ki Tissa), 34:30: Aaron and all the Israelites saw that the skin of Moses’ face was radian; and they shrank from coming near him. The glow is the illumination that can only be received in the attribute of bestowal. But it repels the people from Moses because they don’t have this attribute yet.

They cannot resemble him and so they withdraw from him because they have no means of correction yet. This is what happens today. We have to change, but how and into what?

Now we already begin to realize that if we continue to treat each other egoistically, we will not survive. But how can we change and is it possible? The wisdom of Kabbalah answers this question because it is the method of drawing the Light of correction.

The Torah, “Exodus” (Ki Tissa), 34:31-34:34: But Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the chieftains in the assembly returned to him, and Moses spoke to them. Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he instructed them concerning all that the Lord had imparted to him on Mount Sinai. And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face. Whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with Him, he would leave the veil off until he came out; and when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded… .

When Moses appeals to the Creator, he receives twice as much, as he has to pass on to the people. The middle Partzuf receives a double portion from the upper in order to be great too, in order to understand, and then it passes a small portion of the Light to the lower.

In our world, a girl, to become a mother and have a child, has to grow up and become a woman, which means to acquire a state of greatness in order to give birth to a smaller state. Similarly, Moses attains the level of connection with the Creator only in order to pass on the whole method of correction to the lower.

Question: What does it mean that “he put a veil over his face?”

Answer: Hiding one’s face symbolizes the passing of the Light through the Masach (screen), which weakens the Light because otherwise the people will not be able to receive it. Suppose Moses has Reshimot (spiritual genes) 3, 2 and the people have Reshimot 2, 1, that is the next level. Moses has to lower himself and withdraw from his state in order to align with the people since any spiritual transfer is according to the equivalence of form.

On the one hand, he has to be in contact with the Creator, and so he reveals his face and cooperates with Him. Then he has to cover his face, which means to lower himself in order to cooperate with the lower.

Moses is the conductor between the Creator and the people, and he prepares himself for that from the start by saying to the Creator, “destroy me,” since there is nothing for me on this level. He doesn’t eat or drink for forty days, which means that he ascends to a level where nothing remains of a person except for the Reshimo from his previous life.

We perceive this state through our ego, and then it seems like endless suffering. But in fact, it’s a tremendous elation, detachment from falsehood and becoming part of the truth. In fact, it’s the only thing that justifies everything since the truth includes a state that is contrasted by nothing.

Everything else is false, slander, evil gossip, fiction, idle thoughts, it is unfounded and imaginary. In fact it’s the only thing that exists, and so a person can give up everything in order to be in this state.

The Israelites would see how radiant the skin of  Moses’ face was. Moses would then put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with Him. (The Torah, “Exodus” (Ki Tissa), 34:35). The people of Israel gradually receive small portions of Light from Moses, which correct and raise them, and this is called wandering in the desert, building the Tabernacle, etc.

The Torah, “Exodus” (Ki Tissa), 34:4-34:7: So Moses carved two tablets of stone, like the first, and early in the morning he went up on Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, taking the two stone tablets with him. The Lord came down in the cloud; He stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. The Lord passed before him and proclaimed: “The Lord! the Lord! a God compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in kindness and faithfulness, extending kindness to the thousandth generation, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin; yet He does not remit all punishment, but visits the iniquity of parents upon children and children’s children, upon the third and fourth generations.”

“To the third and fourth generations” refers to the third and fourth levels when the Light already stems from a spiritual state and all the Reshimot (spiritual genes) stop. On the whole this is what Moses attains and expresses in his attainment. He clearly sees two lines: The right and the left, a blessing and a curse, that descend from the Creator and manage the ego pulling if forward in perfect accordance between them, forcing it to want to change.

Question: Do all the people hear what the Creator proclaims?

Answer: No. It is only the attribute of Moses; others cannot hear anything! The point isn’t where they are since the mountain only symbolizes distance. So under the hatred, which are the remaining attributes of a person, they don’t perceive the attribute of bestowal and it doesn’t exist for them.

Thanks to the first restriction that they have put themselves under, they can only watch what is happening from a distance. A mountain covered in smoke means that the ego itself is concealed from the people. They don’t even understand the ego that is before them and that they have to overcome. They don’t feel how Mt. Sinai becomes the Sinai desert they have to go through.

The mountain becomes a desert because the people cannot ascend to the level of Moses, and their egoistic desires seem to gradually open up before them now as they advance. To advance means that they correct every desire they have and eventually rise to Mt. Sinai, but this happens during forty years of wandering.

It turns out that only a person who is close to the attributes of Moses can hear the Torah that Moses wrote. In fact the Torah is totally concealed from everyone, so all the attempts and the efforts are only exercises that help them get closer to Moses, to decipher all the phases of his ascent and to follow him.

Then we will not just read, hear, and feel everything that is said in the Torah, but will actually fulfill it, which means that we will attain the state of love and bestowal. The Torah is not a secret, but a method that can be revealed to us only to the extent that we accept it in advance. Its fulfillment in our world is very simple if we begin to implement it accurately, without any abstruse projects.

The Torah, “Exodus” (Ki Tissa), 34:17-34:18: You shall not make molten gods for yourself. The Festival of Unleavened Bread you shall keep—eating unleavened bread for seven days, as I commanded you—at the set time of the month of Abib, for in the month of Abib you went forth from Egypt.

In a state called “The land of Israel” a person has to keep and to observe all the corrections that he has already attained, which means that even on the highest level they cannot be annulled. The spiritual attributes that we have acquired along the spiritual path, the attributes of love and bestowal towards those around us now turn to the Creator.

Question: Why does it say “molten gods?” Does this refer to some form?

Answer: A molten god is the strongest state. It’s when everything is merged into one unified picture, into one single equivalence of form, into a desire, a yearning.

When we carve something from a natural material, some of the material is left over in the form of debris and loose material. When we cast a form by using our materials, it as if spews out in one unified form that actually takes on an egoistic form.

This means that a person knows exactly what he wants to achieve and applies all ones skills to create an idol. He collects all his desires and connects them so that they become one whole, but in an opposite form that is in absolute contrast to what he should do. He does have to collect them but with the attribute of bestowal and not the opposite attribute. Therefore, it’s the most insidious point of change in a person’s behavior when he has the opportunity to turn to one side or the other.

Question: So there is no main installation that is done to connect to others in order to resemble the Creator? And it isn’t injected by the Creator?

Answer: No. In this state a person receives great help since he thinks that what he does will help everyone and that it’s in order to please the Creator. He has to hold on to only one small point so he won’t cast an idol for himself, and it is to raise his faith above reason. This is the only thing that can protect him and save him.

It’s a very delicate matter since a person thinks that by molding an idol he acts for the good of others. He finds infinite confirmations, proof and evidence that he is spreading the Light while he is actually spreading darkness.

It’s only in faith above reason that one can work on this thin line; it is when a person uses the connection with the upper tools, with the earlier corrected souls, when he has contact with the group, the books, and the teacher who is in contact with his teachers. One cannot start inventing things. A person’s nature will not allow him to do anything. There are no such cases in history. A person has to study with his teachers and through them to connect and to constantly guard this connection so that he can advance. It cannot be any other way!

Question: Can a person who has certain talents use them?

Answer: Certainly not. There is no need for corporeal talent along the spiritual path. On the contrary, all you need is a pure heart and mind, this pure inner state is the best.

When we fill ourselves with information and with everything about the method, we have to be careful of different philosophies, logical conclusions, etc. We have to rely only on the sources by constantly trying to clarify them and understand them anew each time.

The Torah, “Exodus” (Ki Tissa), 34:13-34:14: But you shall demolish their altars, shatter their monuments, and cut down their sacred trees. For you shall not prostrate yourself before another god, because the Lord, Whose Name is “Jealous One,” is a jealous God.

A person can worship idols, anything except for the incomprehensible attribute of love and bestowal, which is amorphous, unfelt, and unimaginable.

If he prefers properties other than full connection to love and bestowal, he is considered a traitor, and so the Creator is jealous when a person betrays Him.

But it is all an allegory about a person who should experience and feel this. The Torah speaks about spiritual issues using corporeal language. It is because we work as if to delight the Creator, and so expressions like “delight” and “jealous,” etc., are used here.

The Torah, “Exodus” (Ki Tissa), 34:23-34:24: “Three times during the year shall all your male[s] appear directly before the Master, the Lord, the God of Israel. When I draw out nations before you and I widen your border, no one will covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord, your God, three times each year.”

A year is a certain level. Certain levels are divided into days, weeks (a week is not an astronomical concept but a spiritual one), months and beginning of months. For those who worked correctly with the Torah, these concepts were just as familiar as they are today.

It is about the three lines by which a person has to rise on each level. Every level is a year (stemming from the word to repeat in Hebrew: “Shana” from “Lishan,” to go over again and again, to ascend and to go back).

Therefore, in principle, all the holidays are repeated every year. When this world disappears from our feelings, all the levels will fold together and only one state will be revealed, the world of Infinity, and only one holiday will remain, which is called “one day,” a continuous Light.

The Torah, “Exodus,” 34:12: Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest they be for a snare in the midst of thee.

A person has attributes that he cannot correct. We have to leave them, which means to clarify things and understand that we cannot manage with them, overcome them, or change them to love and bestowal.

After all, we don’t even have the power to rise above them. So we need to expel them, as if to destroy them, not to use them but not used in the sense that they really as if don’t exist.

All these attributes are on the lowest egoistic level called “the land of Israel,” and are revealed in us when we ascend to a higher level. Only then can we define and identify them. So we mustn’t cooperate in any way with what is called the seven nations (the attributes of HGT NHYM, the seven Sefirot) and determine that it’s forbidden to ever touch them.

In contrast to the coarsest attributes, which cannot be corrected, there is an immense Light, the Light of the world of Ein Sof (Infinity). It is for this reason that we have to disregard them and to let the Creator correct them, since these attributes belong to our creation.

When a desire is created from nothing, all the seven attributes are in the dry zone of “something from nothing,” in this point of connection. Therefore they are revealed at the last moment, when we already ascend all the levels that we can correct. The Torah ends with the entrance to the land of Israel, and a person still has to deal with all these attributes. How should he operate from here on? It doesn’t say. The Torah is only given to us as a guide for correcting what we can correct.

Question: But then there is the story about David, about Jerusalem, about the land of Israel, etc.

Answer: This is not the level of Moses anymore, but the level of the prophets, and so it is even more concealed. We should understand that everything that is described by the prophets in the Holy writings are levels that we have already been through in the past in our uncorrected desires. We will not have to undergo them in the future because the phases of the destruction of the two Temples and of the exile are over. We only have to undergo the phase that the Torah itself tells us and that is enough. Then we reach the land of Israel and the end of correction. The Torah tells us about what happened in our roots, and so we have to correct the state of transition from Mt. Sinai in the Sinai desert until we reach the land of Israel.
