Question: Will nature, the Creator, put so much pressure on a person, but not allow him to die, that he will be ready to listen to the Kabbalists?

Answer: It is written in the Prophets, especially in Ezekiel, that merciful mothers will cook their children and eat them. That is one scenario. The second scenario is to take the method of correction and begin correcting oneself to resemble nature.

In principle, you understand that egoism develops. On one hand, there is the light; on the other hand, there is egoism, which gradually develops, becomes increasingly opposite to the light, and senses this opposition as various kinds of suffering: illnesses, many kinds of blows on the personal, social, political, and economic levels, at any level.

And to what extent will these sufferings continue? You will not be allowed to commit suicide; you must change your life. Nature will not give you this option; it will not allow you to succumb to drugs or something else. This is a temporary phenomenon.

You will not be able to use drugs. They will be lying next to you and you could take them, swallow them, and feel better. But “I can’t.” But you are suffering, aren’t you? “No, I cannot take it.”

Nature will force us to realize that we are opposite to it, that we are against the Creator. Like in Egypt with Pharaoh, something must be done; we must escape our egoism in order to soften this path and not climb the ladder of suffering within an ever-growing egoism.

We cannot reduce egoism; we cannot in any way limit its growth. And what can you do? You can only begin to correct it. The method of correction is Kabbalah. It shows you how, with the help of the force of the Creator, with the help of the light, to change the egoism. You have no other way out.

Only for this reason, we, those who have this method, must spread Kabbalah throughout the entire world as quickly as possible by any means. This is our task.

Question: The miracle of Hanukkah is the miracle of bestowal. But the stopping on the spiritual path looks more like deciding what we want to receive.

At what point does it become clear to us that it is precisely the ten that has decided to stop and choose the correct direction?

Answer: When we connect together in our desire, we form a very strong Kli. And here, there is an opportunity to vary. What does it mean to vary? In what way do I want to receive, what do I want to receive, and how.

We only need to gather together and try, each of us, to determine what is the most important thing in our movement. What do we ask of the Creator? In what way would we like to receive from Him what we wish to receive? This is our main choice.

I think that today we are closer than ever to solving the problem by uniting as one whole, women and men from all corners of the world, and being able to receive from the upper light that part of it which would fill us.

Question: How do Kabbalists understand that it is time to move from Hanukkah to Purim?

Answer: These are completely different states. When you come to the conclusion that you must complete your mission in Hanukkah, then you will feel what this next state, Purim, is.

But this happens not according to your desire, but because this is how the rungs of the ladder of spiritual ascent are arranged.

So is the matter with Hanukah. This is the meaning of Hanu (parked), where the parking was not because of wholeness, meaning an illuminating mirror.

Rather, the parking was Ko (here/thus far), meaning incomplete, which is a mirror that does not illuminate. In other words, the war of the inclination is still not over, but we have to come to the real completeness (RABASH, Letter No. 26).

Question: As we ascend in our unity, do we ourselves determine this stopping point?

Answer: Yes. Gradually ascending the degrees, we begin to feel in what we are able to unite and in what we are not yet able to unite.

And thus we come to the point where all the vessels of bestowal (Kelim deHashpaa) and the vessels of reception (Kelim deKabbalah) ultimately unite in order to be in one action and to be filled with the light of the Creator.

Comment: A story circulating on social media shares that psychologists working with children suffering from the final (terminal) stage of cancer decided to fulfill the most cherished wish of each child and see how the fulfillment of a dream would affect their well-being.

A four-year-old girl living in a village wanted to ride a tram. An eleven-year-old boy dreamed of riding a horse, and a thirteen-year-old girl dreamed of becoming a princess: having servants and having her hand kissed like a princess.

The psychologists rented a tram and spent about two hours riding the little girl around the city. They showed her interesting sights and treated her to tea and sweets. For the boy and his father, they found a couple of horses, and father and son rode along the seashore.

They rented an old castle and beautiful antique clothing. The doctors dressed up as courtiers, and the girl was dressed in a princess gown. The little princess walked through the halls, everyone served her, and, just as she had dreamed, kissed her hand.

The subsequent medical examination results were simply astounding. In one child, the cancer completely disappeared; in the others, the disease either receded or at least stopped progressing!

This experiment confirmed a truth known to ancient physicians but often forgotten by modern ones: emotions have the strongest and most direct influence on our well-being and health. Positive emotions and good thoughts are capable not only of bringing joy and a sense of happiness, but also of overcoming the most terrible disease.

My Response: In addition to the influence of the surrounding light (Ohr Makif) in integral actions, which in general transform everything bad and harmful into good and beneficial, positive emotions that arise within the circle of integral communication also produce a healing effect.

Question: In our world, a person is born, develops, becomes an adult, and has children of their own. But when a person crosses the Machsom, does he then build himself, his soul, beyond it?

Answer: Yes. He already chooses: whether to “eat” from the mother or not, whether to be closer to her or not; he does things independently and learns from her.

Comment: In our world, a person eventually dies.

My Response: In spirituality, he dies on his current degree in order to ascend to the next degree. There is no death there as there is in our corporeal body.

He raises himself to the next degree, and after that, his previous degree dies. It seemingly disappears from his rigid governance. He begins to work with new qualities, with new ten Sefirot. The past remains beneath him; there is no longer any need for it.

Question: So is being born and dying like passing through one point in the heart until complete correction?

Answer: In spirituality, as we pass through 125 degrees, we die at each one and are born anew on the next degree.

What does “we die” mean? I have simply completed working on the previous degree and now I am as if born as a new person. I awaken and feel that new qualities have appeared within me. I begin to perceive the world in a new way. This is clearly happening to me.

Both birth and death are desirable! I myself evoke them within me.

Question: You keep talking about good connections, about the fact that people must draw closer to one another. But what if everyone says: “Here, I have a piece of clay.” And each one says this: “So do I, and I have one too. Let’s build a little house for us.” Will it work, or will it not work?

Answer: No.

Question: It would not?

Answer: You must understand what is missing in this piece of clay. What is missing is the inner connection of all the pieces, of everyone’s, everyone’s. And then, in the merging of our hearts, we return to the state called Adam, similar to the Creator.

Question: In what was he similar?

Answer: Before his shattering, before being divided into billions of parts, this was an angel. That is, an absolutely good, absolutely righteous, correct intention, which together with the Creator carried out everything necessary for a perfect world.

Question: Was this a single intention for everyone? One single soul like that? Can one say so? All souls were merged into one single soul?

Answer: Yes.

Question: You are speaking about what existed in the beginning, and then everything shattered into fragments, and the fragments of the soul fell, as they say, into this world of ours. And we must return to that state?

Answer: Yes. We must realize that we are in a shattered state and that we must return to a unified state. This is precisely what is called assembling the pieces of clay that each one has.

Question: When you say “assemble the pieces of clay,” what do you mean?

Answer: Merging, connection, the unification of hearts.

Question: So this is the material from which we must mold happiness?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And only then will there be happiness?

Answer: And then there will be what the Creator intended.

Question: And did He intend that we would be happy?

Answer: Of course!

Question: What is happiness, in the Creator’s understanding, in your opinion?

Answer: Happiness, in the Creator’s understanding, is the connection of everyone together into one single desire, into one single action, when we feel no shattering whatsoever between us. Then what we experience is called happiness. This is the definition of happiness.
