Question: Is it possible that my enemies in this world will be revealed as my friends in the spiritual world?

Answer: Of course, this has nothing to do with spirituality. We are deliberately confused, pushed into conflict with each other, and become enemies in this world.

Question: So, there must be some force telling us: “This is how you are confused, let us untangle this confusion, keeping in mind that you are being played with.” Is there something deeper here? There must be some system, right?

Answer: There is a system, a very simple and clear one. The only thing is that it is revealed not through logic that enable it to be passed on to others, but through feelings. You can only suggest to another how to change oneself so that this system will clothe in him, and then it will become comprehensible, clear to him, will become his world.

When I give lessons, I do not speak from a book. For me, a book is an object, a topic, and then I begin to reveal it all, supplement and explain it. After all, everything comes not from the book but from your feelings.

There is nothing difficult about this, I do not need to memorize anything. I come to the lesson without preparing in advance, like a professor usually does who needs to know the topic he is currently discussing with students. This is not the case in Kabbalah. In Kabbalah, if you are at a certain level, you talk about it, if you are not there, you keep quiet.

Question: The number of people suffering from hunger has increased in the world. There are more than eight hundred million of them. The number of people dying of hunger has increased six fold. Researchers claim the reason for it is due to climate change and constant conflicts. The world will starve if this continues. They say that a great famine is possible.

Do you think it is possible that it will come to this in our world of abundance?

Answer: There is no abundance in the world. It just seems to you that there is. Everything can be emptied in one day. All these big supermarkets, malls, whatever you see, everything can disappear in an instant and there will be nothing in the world, not even what to wear, let alone to eat.

Question: That is, one little fright and everything will be sold out and will disappear in a blink of an eye? Do you think this option is possible?

Answer: Yes. I believe this will happen. Otherwise, humanity cannot be convinced.

Question: That is, it is not for nothing that it is written in the Torah that only hunger advanced humanity? Does it still work this way?

Answer: So it is said: “Love and hunger rule the world.” And it will be so. We will reach love but only through hunger.

Question: If love had been reached earlier, then there would have been no hunger?

Answer: This is true. But with hunger people will grasp that hunger is a not the problem but the lack of love, and then this will change.

Question: Pease tell me what will this hunger lead us to if there is one?

Answer: We will start to seriously analyze the problems of life, or rather our own problems, and simply ask the question: “What do we need to change in ourselves in order for nature to treat us differently?”

For this to happen, we need to change our attitude toward others. Then nature will treat us differently. That is, if I love others and try to block my ever-growing egoism with some kind of empathy, then nature will treat me differently. I have to show nature that I want it to change its attitude toward me.

Question: Is it enough that I understand why nature puts such pressure on me and that I want to change? Is my request “I want to change” enough?

Answer: Of course.

Comment: We can avoid coming to this and must say: “I want it.”

My Response: You cannot change yourself. Not in any way! But you can realize that you must change. And you can also realize that it depends on your request to nature. We will achieve this.

And the entire congregation of the children of Israel assembled at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there. And the land was subdued before them.

And Joshua said, “How long are you slack to come in to possess the land, which the Lord God of your forefathers has given you?

Appoint for yourselves three men for each tribe; and I will send them, and they shall arise, and go through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come to me.

You shall describe the land into seven parts, and bring it here to me, and I will cast lots for you here before the Lord our God. (Prophets, Joshua, 18:1, 18:3 – 18:4, 18:6) 

The Torah speaks only about the inner states of a person. Therefore, we need to rebuild our understanding of it.

A person should take all his desires and direct them to the Creator, that is, to bestowal and love, to connection between people and the Creator. This is our correction and “taking possession” of the land of Israel.

This is done gradually as we immerse ourselves in the attainment of the Creator and approach Him, and then it is considered that we are conquering the land of Israel—Yashar-El (Straight to the Creator).

Thus, Joshua guides the children of Israel and teaches them how to reach this stage. Therefore, there is a struggle, a confrontation with one’s own egoism. There are no external enemies here. All enemies are internal.

The prophets are Kabbalists who are in direct contact with the Creator, in communication with Him. They seem to be communicating with Him.

And people who are considered Israel strive to conquer the land of Israel so that the desire called “earth” (“Eretz,” from the word “Ratzon”) would be directed straight to the Creator (Yashar-El). This is their task.

Question: Today, a great number of women do not feel very happy. Why?

Answer: This is because of the breakdown of the family. The fact is that the main thing for a woman is to feel her home, everyday lifestyle, children, family, husband, her kitchen, everything of her own. Without this, the rest of the world becomes very unsettled, uncomfortable, and ill-fitted for her. She looks at everything from her corner, from her territory.

Therefore, now when because of the growing egoism the family breaks down, when men and women too are unable to confide in their partner and lose each other, women suffer most of all. Although they try to hide this, to suppress loneliness with all sorts of activities or by having children and raising them alone, it is still a very sad picture.

Question: The fact that today a woman is so unhappy and cannot find herself in the family, is this a random process?

Answer: No, of course not! Over the millennia our egoism has developed and come to a state where it cannot tolerate anyone close to it.

Children cannot tolerate parents, parents cannot tolerate children, spouses cannot get along with each other. A person cannot get along with himself, he needs either drugs or sedatives to tolerate himself. This is a big problem.

Question: The concept of truth is different in the spiritual world and in our world. Each one has their own truth in our world. How should we unite the concept of truth in our world and get closer to the spiritual truth?

Answer: If you cut off the concept of truth from yourself and accept the truth in others, it will help you detach yourself from yourself.

You will then be able to reach the level of Hesed, which means to relate to others at least as you relate to yourself.

Then you will move on to the level of righteousness, which is about everyone being equal, identical, and everyone needing only basic necessities according to their individual state. Eventually, you will reach truth again, and it will be the real truth.

Question: The process of human development is not a random process?

Answer: Of course not! Have you seen anything random in nature? It only seems to us that way because we do not understand nature. In fact, all of its laws are clearly determined. And it is no coincidence that globalization is happening in the world because now we have, as they say a grip, we have fully used our egoism and discovered how much it leads us to a dead end.

The way out of this can be twofold, either by suffering, by reducing the human population, or by realizing the whole path by correct education of people based on revealing to humanity the real world in which we exist.

We do not see much of what is around us and we do not know the forces that control us. I do not know what I will think the next moment and what I will want. Suddenly, a thought or desire comes to me. From where? From that secret hidden part of the world that I need to reveal. Therefore, Kabbalah is called a secret science because it reveals this part of the world to me.

When I see the whole system, the whole relationship between us, between me and nature, I naturally begin to behave correctly.
