Question: Until a person has a “point in the heart,” they do not hear the Kabbalists. Is there any way to awaken it?

Answer: Only through external dissemination and internal work among those who already have this point.

If we unite internally (there are already millions of people around the world with an awakening point in the heart) and begin connecting with each other and understand that only in this way can we elevate ourselves, then we will inspire others. They will feel their “body” coming to life.

Imagine a body that was unconscious slowly starts to revive, its organs awaken one by one, pulls others along and helps them awaken as well. That is what we must do.

We must push ourselves forward, higher, out of this unconscious state, unconscious in relation to the Creator. Gradually, others will begin to feel that there is another state like ours, and that this reality is not the ultimate one. We can rise from it to the next level and begin to perceive something completely different even in this life and will experience ourselves as eternal and perfect beings.

You don’t need to abandon your corporeal life, it doesn’t disappear. You simply enhance it with the perception of the upper worlds where you feel the force that guides you in this world, the force that paints this reality for you.

Question: If only the Creator awakens the point in the heart, how can we do it instead of Him?

Answer: We are not doing it instead of Him! When we activate this field of force, the Creator, by striving to connect with each other so that it fills us, we also awaken all the other points that have not yet manifested in their owners. We awaken the entire field!

Question: Does this mean that everyone has a point in the heart?

Answer: Of course! Otherwise, people wouldn’t exist.

Question: Are all points in the heart the same, regardless of financial or other status?

Answer: Absolutely! They are independent of our corporeal world. They differ in their manifestation because they belong to different parts of the collective soul. However, the method of progress and correction is the same for everyone; the only difference is that each person experiences it individually.

Question: Are the points of Baal HaSulam and Rabash the same, just at a different level of manifestation?

Answer: The only difference is that they realized their points before you, and you are realizing yours later. But so what? Ultimately, everyone reaches the same level.

By connecting with others, each person includes everyone else within themselves. In the end, there are no exceptions or privileges for anyone.

Question: Let’s say a child is guilty of something, and his parents begin to lecture him: “You are a useless, worthless child! Where was your head? How are you going to live at all?” Kids sit dejectedly and absorb it. What do you think about that?

Answer: This is a big problem for many parents who rudely pointing out that a child that he can’t do anything and is worthless. They deprive their child of the sensation of confidence, safety, and inner opportunity. It is very important to preserve a sense of confidence, safety, and inner opportunity in a child.

Many of us make this mistake. We put pressure on the child by telling him: “You are worthless, look how you are supposed to be. Why can’t you do this,” and so forth. We are making him a very insecure person. He will grow this way and will not be able to escape it for the rest of his life.

Question: How do you think it should be? Here is an action, but it is not a good action.

Answer: Live it down: “You did it incorrectly, wrong. Perhaps you could not do it in a different way. Now look how it is possible to do it in a different way.” This way he will learn from his experience, and he will still retain confidence.

Question: Meaning, we should not touch the child himself and his little “I”? The main principle is to not touch his “I”?

Answer: Yes. We have precisely such people wandering on our planet, without inner confidence, who were “assassinated” by their parents and oppressed since childhood. In order to somehow defend themselves and rise a little above everyone, they make problems for everyone. They do not know what to do in order to feel like normal people.

To achieve this, they suppress others, annihilate others, and so forth. If you take a close look at any monster who kills, tortures others, and leads a gang, you will see why this happened to him. You will look into his childhood and will see how he was damaged then the same way.

Question: What would you say to young people who are already living together and love each other, but constantly fear that one day it might suddenly end?

Answer: This is called Ira (in Hebrew), which is not just fear but anxiety, a special kind of anxiety about preserving good relationships.

Question: Does this mean they are approaching true love between them?

Answer: Yes, it is as if they are climbing a mountain. Egoism continuously grows, it becomes more sophisticated and therefore sharper. But it is precisely through working together that they rise and draw even closer to each other.

Question: What awaits them at the summit?

Answer: At the summit, spiritual closeness begins, which will create a higher connection between them, one that is truly above egoism. They will start to connect in such a way that they will understand each other without words, only through thoughts; they will intertwine with one another.

Question: Is this the highest state of connection?

Answer: Yes, just as snakes in a pit intertwine with one another, so will they intertwine, only not in an egoistic, but in a mutual, kind attitude toward each other.

Comment: That is quite a turning point. Suddenly, you compared it to snakes, and it became a bit unsettling.

My Response: Why? It is very relevant and direct.

Question: Do these snakes exist within us?

Answer: It is precisely thanks to our great and cunning egoism, if we begin to use it correctly, to draw closer, to wrap around each other, then in this way we will ascend ever closer to the Creator.

Question: Your teacher Rabash was the last in the chain of Kabbalists from the period when this wisdom was concealed. Now you are his successor. But the system arranges everything in such a way…

If we compare 1995 with what is happening now, back then only a few people studied Kabbalah, but now I don’t even know where all these people interested in studying Kabbalah are coming from. How does this happen?

Answer: This means that the system of souls is beginning to awaken. It’s not about me. Even though we disseminate our materials everywhere, trying to present them to everyone like in a shop window, this alone does not particularly awaken people.

They are awakened from above, from within, from the side of their soul. We strive to ensure that at that moment, they have the right Kabbalistic materials available so that they can begin their studies.

Question: Can our sluggishness or lack of promptness delay the transmitting of spirituality?

Answer: Of course. That’s why, knowing my mission clearly, I try to fulfill it as much as possible in terms of both time and volume.

Question: Do you know your mission completely?

Answer: No, I don’t know what lies ahead for me. Maybe some new necessity will arise. But I do know that I need to make Kabbalah as accessible as possible to every person in the world and to present the sources to everyone.

That means making The Book of Zohar available, then working through all the articles of Rabash and the Kabbalistic materials of Baal HaSulam. In other words, I must transmit them in such a way that any person in the world can understand them and, by grasping them, move forward.

Question: How can we practically distinguish our points in the heart and unite them?

Answer: Practically, decide! Pull this point out of yourself! Get rid of everything else! Kick away your “I,” your body, all this outer shell! That is why it is called Klipa. Shed it like a snake sheds its skin.

Comment: You say this so easily, but I do not quite understand how to do it.

My Response: It is actually very simple! Really. Just separate it.

Can you imagine it conceptually? We always communicate using feelings, expressing something. Extract that point!

Once you lived without it, went about your business, existing like a normal animal. Then suddenly, a point appeared that pulls you beyond the animalistic level. Isolate it, separate it from your physical self, and connect it with other points.

It is designed from above for us to exist separately so that we can demand the Creator. In that way, we can define our need for Him, determine where He exists, and what He must do. We begin to recognize the attributes of this force and how it manifests in relation to us.

We do not know the Creator Himself. We can only perceive His actions and manifestations concerning us. We can do this specifically when we attempt to unite our points. These points are our desires for Him.

However, these desires must not be egoistic but directed toward bestowal. Therefore, if we try to unite above our physical existence, disregarding our bodies and this world, we will begin to demand Him for the sake of bestowal.

Question: Can a person determine their mission? Not invent it, but clearly reveal it?

Answer: One must feel it on their own. I think that in this matter, one cannot listen to anyone, only to their own heart. Look into the most essential. What do you want to leave behind? How can you contribute to this great process that is unfolding with humanity, even with souls? That is, with humanity, not in our world, but in a more perfect space.

Question: Suppose you have students who come, study, and leave, and there are those who invest in certain processes. How can those who come to study find their function? Or is their function simply to study?

Answer: First of all, by studying Kabbalah, you simultaneously correct yourself and the world and bring other souls closer to the point where they too begin to reveal the upper world and the Creator. Studying Kabbalah is an activity in itself.

However, in principle, when a Kabbalist is involved in other everyday matters and interacts with the world, these activities still exert a positive influence on the world. Even at their workplace, no matter what they do or how they communicate with people, they still subconsciously carries out their line, their positive influence on the world.

Question: So it does not have to be an explicit effort to invest in dissemination, to make a loud impact on the world?

Answer: No, if it is given, it is given; if not, then not. It is simply everyone’s mission. I am not to blame for being the way I am. If you were to ask me, “What would you like to do?” perhaps I would be more involved in development, writing, and creating another methodology. Not just another, but a less practical area.

I understand that what I have been given is the most suitable for me; it is just that I do not fully realize it yet. But I am drawn less to the practical actions I engage in (working with a group of students, television, books, and everything else) and more toward deeper, internal study of the material.

But probably the needs of the world and the times push me toward practical actions. Even Rabash told me this.

So there is nothing to be done. Everyone has their own mission, and it must be fulfilled. I do not see anything grand in my mission. I do not think it is visible in me that I take pride in it or value myself for what I do. There is no such thing in Kabbalah, such things are removed immediately.

The fact is that the entire space is filled only by the Creator; while you dissolve into Him, your “I” is not yours. A Kabbalist can only say that they are fulfilling the Creator’s will, and that is all. He does not have his own desire, they do not have themselves because their desire already aligns with the Creator’s desire.

Question: You said that you are drawn to deeper, internal study of the material. What do you mean?

Answer: Personally, I would study Kabbalistic material much more deeply. I do not know if I could describe it the way Baal HaSulam did in The Study of the Ten Sefirot or in his articles. Quite possibly, I could not. But I am drawn to deeper analysis, to revealing connections, not revealing them to the world, but first and foremost to myself. It is difficult for me to express this.

For example, to present the methodology the way Rabbi Shimon did in The Book of Zohar, but to describe it in a way that is closer to us, to people—more emotionally, more psychologically.

Unfortunately, due to lack of time, I cannot engage in this.
