Question: What exists in the space that seems empty to us in our egoistic perception, but in another perception is densely filled with everything?

Answer: It is types of desires: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human desires that we do not perceive from the next degrees, from the degree of the world of Assiya, Yetzira, Beria, Atzilut, Adam Kadmon, and so on to the level of infinity.

And there, just as in our world, we see the inanimate, vegetative, and animate degrees and the degree of “human,” we observe these kinds of forces, but only forces in the world of Assiya, Yetzira, Beria, Atzilut, and Adam Kadmon.

And most importantly is that in each of these worlds you discover the force that binds them and guides them. It is called the Creator, the one that creates in this world. You merge with it, connect with it, adapt, and you become it.

As a result, it turns out that a person ascends to the highest degree of the entire universe and includes everything in himself. But this is an all-encompassing image of a person, when all our bodies disappear at the level of our world, and all our desires, powers, knowledge, and newly acquired qualities merge into one image “Adam.”

That is what we are going toward. What is happening in the world marks the beginning of this path, the beginning of the spiritual elevation of humanity. Spiritual means beyond matter. This is the path to information, to a new change within us, in our “I.”

Question: You say that at every moment  a person is in ideal conditions for his advancement. When he is distancing from his studies, is that also ideal for him?

Answer: Of course, naturally. If at every minute of his distancing from the spiritual, he can make a leap back, then this is the best option of getting closer for him.

Comment: You say with sadness that it is a pity to look at this distancing.

My Response: No. No way. Even a person who feels this should see himself as happy. This is our path. It is the reciprocating motion that pushes us forward like a wheel. We are rolling forward, and the wheel is spinning back and forth, back and forth. That is the only way we advance.

Question: Let’s say you see that a person has moved away a little. Do you not feel sorry for him?

Answer: No, I do not feel sorry. He must move away.

But when he begins to understand that this distance is for his ascent, and at the same time pushes forward while  in this distance, then the distance passes quickly, qualitatively, and gives him a huge leap forward. Then it turns out that he is no longer a small spinning wheel. After all, he inflates it and becomes a big wheel. Therefore when he makes a big turn backward, at the same time he goes forward a lot. This is what depends on the person.

Otherwise, all the wheels practically spin in place. But we hope that we will inflate ourselves properly and move forward. I think that now there will be a good reassessment of values among the local population, which will also give us a push forward.

Being on the verge of Lishma is a very special state. I am glad that we have achieved it, and we can already, all together, help each other and try to enter Lishma. Even just getting closer to this state is also a huge achievement.

Lishma is a quality of the Creator, but we can already grasp it, understand it, and feel it.

Concerning Lishma [for Her sake]. In order for a person to obtain Lishma, one needs an awakening from above, as it is an illumination from above and it is not for the human mind to understand. Rather, he who tastes, knows. It is said about this, “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” (Baal HaSulam, Shamati Article No. 20, “Lishma [for Her Sake]”)

To do this, it is necessary to make efforts, pay attention, have sensitivity of the heart, and as much as possible do this jointly, together. And if with all this, we do not feel any reaction, then we can only pray, that is, ask the Creator to listen to us and teach us how to turn to Him. Then there will already be a mutual connection between us.

On the one hand it is said that the Creator hears everyone’s prayer. But on the other hand this prayer needs correction because it is not raised by everyone from the correct place. After the transgression of the tree of knowledge, we were thrown far away from each other as if by an explosion and flew in all directions.

And now we need to gradually connect back together with the additional egoism that we received during the shattering. To do this, we need to feel how far apart we are and that we cannot get closer to each other and all together get closer to the Creator.

And since we discover that we are completely unfit for this, it is necessary to raise a prayer. Prayer should be as close as possible to our common heart, to the union of our inner desires. Therefore we want to reveal all the desires of our friends and unite them in order to bring everything together to the Creator to give Him our heart.

Try to imagine such a state and stay in it all 24 hours a day. Gradually we are getting closer to such work due to the desire to help our friends and be together as one man with one heart. We are trying to take at least a small step, but together. Otherwise, it will not work; it will not cause the right reaction.
Thus we take step by step in the direction of the Creator until we feel that He is coming toward us.

To take a step together means to want to unite so as to become a Kli to serve the Creator.

Question: How can one correctly appraise a member of the ten?

Answer: Nowadays a very extensive, stormy external connection is needed because we are very small and our egoism is very primitive. It is difficult for us to get out of ourselves, to sacrifice our little egoistic world because external society and life influence us too much. We must get good help from a friend and the environment.

Comment: Recently you have been focusing on the connection among groups.

My Response: Of course, this is mutual assistance. Therefore, I am very happy when students come to us for internships and for congresses. They see how we live. It means a lot to them! They absorb our spirit.

After returning home, they pass it on, compare it, and try to work like us. It brings us closer to each other.

We are all in the same network. Therefore, those who can strongly influence this network are the engines of positive direction in humanity. After all, it is possible to influence only by the power of bestowal, kindness, and love. Not in any other way!

The opposite force, which is selfishness, hatred, and violence, immediately switches off there; a restriction (Tzimtzum) occurs, and the network is blocked.

To the extent that people approach spirituality and become like the spiritual system, they act positively because in the higher world there is a “filter” that allows only positive influence to pass through.

The upper world is very simple; in it there is a Machsom or Parsa through which only a positive influence passes, only a striving for connection.

Question: Is the group like a laboratory for you? Have you sort of created an environment for yourself that allows you to develop directly?

Answer: Yes, of course. They are with me, and I am with them. Absolutely!

If it were not for the group, I would have developed in a different direction. The group pulls me down by my legs, it grounds me. Look at what kind of TV recordings we have about family, about love, about unemployment, and so on. We have everything there! All this can be found in the archive.

I myself would have never produced this. But the host starts pulling information out of me like a magician pulling out colored handkerchiefs tied together, and I talk. I could not have done it without the group.

What we have done in recent years: the method of correction for beginners, the method of raising children, courses for beginners, none of this existed in Kabbalah. All of this is brand new! And all is suitable for our time! Without the group, I would never have developed this.

After all, I just talk, and then students make it all and sew it into a program. I could not physically handle it and would not even go this way at all! I would rather aim upward. I would not have the language to explain everything! I would be spinning around the world of Atzilut in my research, but not in this.

The students are constantly bringing me down to earth. And rightly so, because the world demands it.

Question: When a certain opinion that something is important is formed around people, it can affect some but not others. How can you influence the masses to make it work?

Answer: Only through the internal network of connections between all of us.

We are all tied into one network. But a person who is not engaged in spiritual work has very little effect on it. However, my influence on this network is really strong because I am a part of it.

With the help of intentions and corresponding qualities that I have specially created in me, I influence the entire system. It turns out that we get locked in this way. My impact on the general system of humanity is billions of times greater than that of an ordinary person.

This is the only way! As for the media and everything else we do in our world, humanity has very little effect on the general system.

Our main influence should be directed at correcting the world. If we create its correct microstructure from ourselves and this microstructure is spiritually powerful in the general structure of the world, then it will influence everything else most of all.

Although this will be done by a small group (maybe only a hundred people), but in terms of its power and quality, it will surpass the rest of the world billions of times over. That is the way this is arranged!

It is just as in the human brain where everything is controlled by a tiny microprocessor the size of a match head, and everything else are auxiliary systems around it.

Currently we are at the first initial stage of our spiritual development. There is no way for us not to be born in the future. But we can be born the hard way when we resist and do not want to go to the state of a more developed fetus; we do not want to increasingly adapt the spiritual forces of bestowal and love of others within us and assemble a spiritual image from all people.

When we assemble it at such a level that we will deny and destroy everything that contradicts the connection between us, then we will become a spiritual fetus.

Egoism between us will be increasing, and we, thanks to it, will constantly be in a greater connection with each other above it until the nine-month development of the fetus ends, and then we will reach spiritual birth.

We can imagine how difficult this period is! Now all of humanity is being pushed into the womb, and nature is beginning to pressure us. This is the huge, closed, global, integral crisis that we feel today; this is the first pressure of nature on us so that we begin to connect with each other.

It presses on us from the outside, like a mother, but still gently. Later it will push more and more if we do not start connecting with each other.
