Question: When should I analyze whether my actions are correct or not?

Answer: The correct analysis is made in the case when every second of your life you “attach” yourself to the Creator. “Life” means awareness. I am alive; I feel myself and I have some mission. As the song says: “There is only a moment between the past and the future; it is this moment that is called life.” In this moment you must merge with the Creator. This is what He allows you to do.

In this way you analyze the Reshimo (the spiritual informational gene). There is no other work here. If you concentrate only on this, it is very good. For the past and the future are like Klipot since they come to us from invented things. They generate various calculations and fears in us that have no relation to reality.

Comment: But a person has to deal with a combination of many factors.

My Response: I am not speaking about what you do at your work. There you work with the inanimate level: with people, with plans, and so on; there you must know how to work. I am speaking about your inner definitions, spiritual qualities, about what is connected with the Creator.

And with the Creator you have a simple calculation: I have no power over the past, the present, or the future. My work is only with what I have now. Whatever Reshimo He gives me, that I must now realize. And my realization of this Reshimo is adhesion with the Creator in the given second. Period! That is all.

I am not saying that this is how one should relate to life in general, this is how one should relate to our spiritual states. And in the material, I can plan my work a month ahead, a year ahead. One is not connected with the other. At work I deal with the inanimate level.

Question: Why is Eastern meditation so popular?

Answer: Eastern meditation is very popular in the world. I once visited a group of Americans in North Carolina in an extraordinarily beautiful place in the Smoky Mountains. They have a huge area of land at their disposal.

They receive donations from various sources that allow them to live very modestly, eat, have a roof over their heads, and meditate all the time. They asked us not to drive by car or even pass under their windows so as not to disturb them.

People sit for hours without the slightest movement; a person is completely immersed in oneself. The question is, what tools does he use to analyze it? As far as I understand from the science of Kabbalah, these people suppress their egoism, that is, they stop using it and want to achieve complete peace.

Of course, this is an egoistic desire, but it belongs to the lowest, smallest level of egoism, and therefore a person feels some freedom from the usual press of a huge thickness of egoism. Meditation lowers everyone to a level of egoism to which they can descend to.

Therefore, it seems to a person that he is achieving spiritual revelation. But this definition of the spiritual world differs from that given by the science of Kabbalah. People are able to invest a lot of effort and time with such meditation because it provides a powerful source of nourishment for the ego and brings a sense of comfort and fulfillment.

It is not an easy undertaking; it requires a person to step away from active life, but it offers substantial reward. The group I saw in North Carolina numbered hundreds of people, men and women. Moreover, there was a ban on any physical intimacy between men and women, sex was strictly prohibited.

Man had to rise above all material things and only provide the body with the nourishment necessary for its existence, and devote everything else to inner contemplation.

I have seen other such groups and met with Sufis in England and the USA. I had meetings with people who had a regular audience of thirty million radio listeners in America.

It is quite clear to me what happens during Eastern meditation. People suppress their egoism so much that it almost ceases to be felt. And then they have the feeling that they are floating in the air, above all nature. Therefore, they consider themselves to already be in the spiritual world.

Interestingly, many people use Kabbalistic symbols for their exercises: for example, letters of the Hebrew alphabet, special words (mantras), the names of the Creator “HaVaYaH.” There are even many churches with “HaVaYaH” and the Star of David engraved on them. The Star of David is a symbol of the union of matter and spirit.

This meditation is most successful for Hindus who can disconnect from life to such an extent that they almost stop breathing. The body goes into internal hibernation, all its systems slow down so much that a person can live for many days without food and water and almost without oxygen.

Question: In what world does a person exist at this time?

Answer: He almost doesn’t exist. There is barely any life in the body, metabolism almost stops, so it doesn’t need anything.

Question: Does this not count as rising above matter?

Answer: This is not a spiritual elevation. Elevation requires that a person get out from under the power of the body, that is, the desire to receive egoistic fulfillment, and achieve the desire for bestowal. All Eastern techniques would like to achieve this, but they are not able to because they do not have the strength to rise to the next level.

They only suppress the vital force in a person so that he feels as if he has risen a little above the physical material life, above the animal level. And although it already seems to him that this is a spiritual stage, the science of Kabbalah speaks about a completely different spiritual world.

Question: You once said that a Jew and a Roman are simply two forces trying to clarify the third force. That is, they develop not without purpose. Is the third force born independently or from these two?

Answer: The third force is intermediary between them, which we must now restore and bring into existence.

Everything that has happened up to this moment has only been preparation for what we must do now: correct the world. Not the Jews and not the other nations, but specifically us, which we do by taking Kabbalah as the source of correction.

Question: Does this third force already exist or do we simply not perceive it?

Answer: We must create this third force together because it does not exist; it does not descend from above. Only two forces come from above: the force of the Creator and the force of creation, the property of bestowal and the property of reception.

Two Forces That Create A Human Being

A human must choose between truth and falsehood. There is nothing to choose between sweet and bitter; it is clear that I will always choose what is good and sweet for me and not what is evil and bitter. I am not capable of preferring a bad state to a good one.

However, if I see truth and falsehood in opposition to sweet and bitter, then it is possible that I will choose the bitter truth, a bad feeling, because truth is more important to me.

These represent two different levels: the animate level (analysis according to sweet and bitter) and the human level (analysis according to truth and falsehood) where a person works with faith above reason.

If you rise to the single calculation of truth, within which all other forces and possibilities are included, it means that you have attained adhesion with the Creator.

But if you evaluate only sweet and bitter, then this is an animalistic analysis (choice). And an animal never makes mistakes on its level; it always chooses what is good for it, but it does not advance to the level of human.

However, nature does not allow us to remain at the animate level; it compels us to develop.

At the still, vegetative, and animate levels of nature, the analysis of behavior is reduced only to the analysis of sweet and bitter, with a preference for the sweet. However, for the human, there is a difference between the animate level within him, with the analysis of sweet and bitter, and the human level within him, with the analysis of truth and falsehood.

Therefore, a human is in constant confusion between the animate and the human within him, searching for what to choose and looking for a compromise, he wants the sweet, yet sees that the benefit lies in the truth.
