Question: You say that at the meals and other events there are listeners and there are speakers. What should be the attitude of the listeners toward those who speak?
Answer: Everyone should be patient with their friends until we all mature together. How do you perceive a child? He does things that seem silly and unnecessary. You see how he makes mistakes, how he tries, how something works out and something does not. But through this, he somehow grows.
Comment: I am asking because for many people who encounter Kabbalah for the first time, this is not clear.
My Response: It does not matter to me whether it is clear to them or not. It is impossible to explain anything for the first time. If a person has matured, if he understands that he has nowhere else to go, then he will see logic in it, something higher; he will feel deep inside that there is something here. And if he is not ready yet, why should he understand? It will be better if he leaves.
Do you think everything is decided by some clever words? No. Look how many beautiful, professional video clips you have created. And how many people come because of those clips? There are millions of views, but only a handful come. Can you explain to me what is happening here? You cannot reach their hearts. You are knocking on them, but their hearts do not yet respond to that knock.
Comment: That is exactly what I am saying. You want to disseminate as widely as possible, but people are not ready.
My Response: We try to do everything possible. I am not going to change us because of this. We are who we are, and we are gradually trying to be more open—closer, simpler, more accessible, and more understandable to others. We are doing this all over the world, here in Israel, on television, and on the Internet.
Of course, there is still much more that can be done. We try to write books and express everything that Kabbalah wants to say to people in a simpler language. But if a person is still not ready from his side, what can we do?
Today when I walk down the street or stay somewhere, I see simple people who wave to me, who greet me, who thank me that there is a Kabbalistic channel, and that they can watch it. They even say, “So far we do not understand much. But it feels so good!” There are those who feel that it gives them a sense of peace and security. Still others say, “When I am on your channel, I just get distracted and relax.”
That is, everyone hears us on their own wavelength, and I am very glad about that. And whether they understand or do not understand the inner meaning and essence of Kabbalah, they do not need it because the world is structured like a pyramid. 99% of people cannot understand Kabbalah at all. They are created by nature, by the Creator, in such a way that they can only join it, so to speak, and participate in it.
For example, how many people build our world, lay its foundation, start enterprises, banks, the foundations of society, or conduct scientific research? How many of them are there? A thousand or two in the whole world who manage everything?
Only a few hundred people in the world truly create something, and the rest implement it. This implementation is carried out by a huge number of scientists, engineers, and researchers. But the foundation, the idea is the legacy of a very small number of people. And the billions of others? These billions are under them. This is how the world is arranged.
In exactly the same way, the perfection of all souls is achieved. When everyone, individually and together, reaches a single unified structure, everyone includes themselves in everyone else, and then everyone is included in all. As a result, each feels himself as this entire system. But that happens at the end of creation, at the end of correction.
Meanwhile, I absolutely do not expect these billions of people to realize the true greatness of what is being revealed before them, the true possibility of what Kabbalah speaks about.
I know from my own experience, from the 40 years I have been engaged in Kabbalah, what stages I have gone through, what revelations I have experienced, and what still lies ahead.

Today, many people want to express themselves. But they do not know how to express themselves. One walks around with a tail on their head, another with piercings, a third covered in tattoos front and back. All of this is supposedly a kind of distinguishing mark, a sign of belonging to certain trends. But it says nothing about a person’s individuality. On the contrary.
