Native American wisdom: Make me strong, not to rise above my brother, but to defeat my greatest enemy—myself.

That is correct. These are people who were brought up with the ideology of nature.

I have met real Native Americans who live in the mountains. They feel related to each other, they feel a part of nature, and each one as a part of others. They do not have such huge egoism like Europeans, especially like us. If one has something, he offers it all to the rest. Without any thoughts. Just like that, because it is us. This is us.

Question: Tell me, please, do we need decades or centuries to come to this idea?

Answer: I think millennia.

Question: But, in principle, if we come to this idea, will we make some kind of revolution?

Answer: We will make a revolution in ourselves when we start thinking about us and not about me. Just replace I with us on a worldwide scale and that is it. Nothing else is needed. By this, you change everything. Everything! Your sensation and perception of the world.

Question: According to what you say, the Creator does not exist. If so, to whom are we raising MAN?

Answer: I mean that the Creator people believe in does not exist. The Creator is the common force of nature that urges us to unite. This is its sole purpose.

So, the correct definition of the Creator is that it is the general, integral force within which everything exists. The wisdom of Kabbalah says that this force initially shattered everything that was created, and now the creation gradually yearns to come together like a jigsaw puzzle.

Every particle must take its rightful place in relation to others, and in their mutual integration they will discover the higher force more and more. Therefore, if I say that the Creator does not exist, I mean: do not try to find Him in anything else but the force of connection. He does not do anything else and there is no need to hope for anything else.

Question: It is written in the book of Prophets, Joshua: I have given into your hand Jericho and its king, the mighty warriors… And only you keep (yourselves) from the devoted thing, lest you make yourselves condemned when you take of the devoted thing. What does it mean to “keep from the devoted thing”?

Answer: The devoted thing is an egoistic desire that cannot be corrected. If you take it, in no way you will be able to overcome it. It will stick to you like a leprosy, like something that you cannot get rid of. You will start thinking that it is yours, and this is the worst thing.

The fact is that you did not have this desire before, but as soon as you stick to it, it becomes yours.

Question: Further, the book of Prophets tells us that a person called Achan sinned and took of the consecrated thing…, a goodly Babylonish garment, meaning clothing, …and two hundred shekels of silver, meaning money, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, meaning wealth. What does it mean?

Answer: Clothing is a covering (Levush) with which you can dress anything, and it will look like an external garment, not an internal one. That is, you put it on and immediately become a complete egoist without even realizing it.

Money (Kesef) from the word “Kisufa, Kisui” (covering). In principle, this is the same as the garment, only more insidious. It buys you and you start working for it. That is, you find money, get it, win it, take it away, and it seems to you that it is yours. Yet in fact, you belong to them.

But gold (Zahav) is above everything – “Ze Hav,” which swallows everything. This is the representation of absolute blindness before wealth. If a person falls for gold, he is irrevocably lost.

Comment: It would seem that the people of Israel have already passed the stage of building the golden calf.

My Response: It does not matter since the final correction has not happened yet. The building of the golden calf will be finally corrected only in the last generation. In total, all this is the devoted thing.

Question: There is no concept of prison in Kabbalah, but there is a concept of the death penalty. Should a person have a reason to be afraid of harming other members of society?

Answer: No. The death penalty is merely a theoretical concept, and in fact, practically no one was ever executed in the nation of Israel.

During its entire existence, the Sanhedrin (the Supreme Court) sentenced someone to death only once, and as far as I know, this was later canceled. It was considered that they can sentence a person to death only once every 70 years! The death penalty was regarded as something inhumane and terrible.
