Question: Do you have self-identification?

Answer: No, I am trying to be a machine, a robot, that is, to direct all my desires, thoughts, and goals as much as possible in such a way as to function for the sake of the desires of others for correction.

Comment: But at the same time for a long time you were a fairly big egoist who developed throughout life.

My Response: I am now an even bigger egoist, frankly speaking.

Question: But all the same, all your life you were in some way identifying yourself as Michael Laitman. You could not become like that right away, could you?

Answer: No, of course not! Such a thing happens after twenty years.

I got acquainted with Kabbalah in 1976, and since then I have practically not torn myself away from it. I did everything that was necessary to support myself, but in general, I acted in everything only in order to find a teacher, learn, and develop further. This is movement from within.

Question: At what point did you begin to identify yourself with the entire world?

Answer: Back in the early 80s I spoke with Rabash about the fact that, as Baal HaSulam wrote, the world from 1995 will be completely different. Before that, I talked to him about Baal HaSulam’s dream to create a commune, something where people would work together, provide for themselves, and engage in Kabbalah, and most importantly, in internal work among themselves. We talked a little about these topics, but it was all fantasy, utopian.

Then the world really began to change very dramatically, especially after Rabash passed away. He left this world, and the world became completely different. Not for me; I still had the same spiritual contact with him, an even stronger one.

Question: How is it possible that say, a Kabbalist dies and the world changes dramatically?

Answer: The presence of a Kabbalist on the corporeal level means a lot. Although spiritual energy has nothing to do with all kinds of objects in our world, it is still of great importance.
