Elixir Of Youth: A Gift Or A Curse

715In the News (Daily Mail): “Is this pink pill the elixir of youth? A Harvard scientist claims NMN drug has already knocked 20 years off his age…

“Professor Sinclair — one of the world’s leading experts on the science of ageing — believes it is the key to not only warding off the process of human ageing but even reversing it. …

“Experiments on mice by Professor Sinclair and his team showed that after just a week of being fed NMN dissolved in their drinking water, the cells of ageing mice were indistinguishable from those of young mice. Their muscles looked and behaved like those of a young mouse, too. …

“‘This is the closest we are to a safe and effective anti-ageing drug that’s perhaps only three to five years from being on the market if the trials go well.’”

Comment: Imagine, such a bottle of rejuvenation of 20 to 40 years will be sold!

My Response: And what will it give me? To go play children’s games with today’s mind and experience? It will be some kind of unhealthy condition. I wouldn’t buy it and wouldn’t even take such a bottle for free. I think it’s a curse, not a gift.

I want to live a normal life and make the most of my years, in order to leave a mark in people so that they wouldn’t want to go back, but will want to leap forward.

Question: You said, “leap,” which means, in principle, feeling young if they move like that?

Answer: Yes. That’s when, I think, if I can make some quick corrections in myself, I need more strength, not physical, but internal. But it’s impossible, it’s against the laws of nature too. But in general, if you imagine such a thing, then only go forward.

Question: And if you were told, “We can give you strength,” what would you use it on?

Answer: Only to make such a wonderful transformation. Not to become young and not old, nothing like that. I just want to make a correction within myself as if I had lived another 20 years.

Question: Correction of what?

Answer: My egoism, my nature. To get even closer to love, to bestowal, to connection with people, and to the Creator together with them. That’s when it would be a really serious mission.

Question: Is that the only reason a person needs strength?

Answer: Just for that.

Question: And this is called youth?

Answer: This is a real inspiration, relaxation. This is real life.

Harvard does not understand anything about this; it does not understand and will not help.

Question: And the science that you are engaged in, Kabbalah?

Answer: Kabbalah cannot help you make a leap forward, it is also against the forces of nature. We fantasize about this topic here. But it carries a person forward.

Back, he understands that this is against the flow of nature and there is nothing good about it. If I suddenly find myself with my thoughts, today’s views 20 years, 30 years ago, and what do I do? Is it like the Yankee at King Arthur’s court? Can you imagine if you were to turn up today 200 years ago?

Question: With all your current knowledge?

Answer: Yes. Even among the smartest people of that time.

Question: Is this what you call a curse?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So I wouldn’t be able to exist there?

Answer: You have no one to talk to.

Question: And it must be a complete concurrence: my wisdom, which I have acquired, and my gray hair?

Answer: Yes. Now you understand how Kabbalists live. Even today they lock themselves in and live within themselves. And what is needed is only to teach others if they want to. And that’s it.

Sodom—A Ban On Communication Between People

527.01Comment: When a person hears the phrase “Sodom and Gomorrah,” he associates it with some kind of sexual perversion. And in the Talmud, which was written in the 3rd century, it is said that the cities were destroyed due to spiritual malice, hatred of strangers, and lack of hospitality.

My Response: Yes, that is how it manifested: you have no right to receive someone as a guest, give something, help with something, direct, or advise. At any level of communication, you do not interact with other people because you are not going to help them in anything and get anything from them. This condition acts reciprocally, in both directions: you are not for me and I am not for you.

Comment: But today in our world there is also such hostility toward strangers.

My Response: This enmity does not limit you and does not force you to put an obstacle in contacting others. And here, there is a complete ban on any kind of communication between people except within a clan or family.

If There Were A Possibility To Perform Miracles

549.02Question: If you had the ability to perform miracles, how would you use it?

Answer: I would sit still and be silent.

Question: So you would not perform miracles? Why?

Answer: The world does not need them.

Comment: But it could prove your method is correct.

My Response: No one could correctly implement it then.

Question: So miracles are harmful for human development?

Answer: Yes. Otherwise, it could be such a theater here, but in the end, no one would be better-off and there would be several more religions.

Luck And A Miracle

545Question: Kabbalah is about attaining the Creator in this world. Is the revelation of the Creator to man a miracle or a law of nature?

Answer: It is a law, but when it is revealed it happens unexpectedly and is perceived as a miracle. It appears in a person as a feeling of new natural inner qualities.

Question: Let’s say a person used to think about himself and he suddenly starts thinking and caring about others. Does he see this as some kind of miracle?

Answer: Yes. Something happens to him that did not happen before. He understands that it comes from a higher level of perceiving the world, and he calls it a miracle.

Question: Is there a connection between luck and a miracle? You often say that in order for a miracle—the revelation of the Creator—to happen, there must be luck.

Answer: Luck is when a person has the correct direction toward his future. And if he consistently follows it, then a miracle happens.

Question: So, should there also be luck?

Answer: Yes. There must be luck. Good luck to you, and a miracle!

Nature Pushes Us To Correction

962.1Question: How does nature judge us and why does it punish us with all the blows that we feel?

Answer: All of nature is global and integral. It demands that we observe it in a conscious, scientific, and rational way with the rule of integral connection between all and that we build all systems in human society according to this rule.

This rule exists on the still, vegetative, and animate levels as part of their natural functioning instinctively. But in man, our ego pushes us to destroy these forms of nature.

Once man corrects himself by connecting to everyone, we will reach the state in which all other forms of life, the still,  vegetative, and animate levels of nature will also become balanced and the world will truly be in peace.

Where Is Real Life Hiding?

712.03Question: What is life according to Kabbalah? What gives us the feeling of being alive?

Answer: According to Kabbalah, the volume of the universe we feel ourselves in today and call our world is a very small part of the entire universe.

We stay in it for a certain time, experience various events to accumulate some special information, and then exit this state to enter a higher one, and to start to feel the full volume of the universe in its true form, not our world, but the universal, what-is-called the higher world that includes ours.

Therefore, in Kabbalah, our existence in relation to this full volume is spoken of as a dream, as a small, not obvious sensation of real life. Real life is completely different from what we feel today.

In practice, we only experience our animalistic existence because everything we do is serving our animal body so that it feels good and comfortable. We try to give it all the pleasures that it wants to absorb and make everything as comfortable as possible for it.

Imagine that your beloved pet lives next to you and you take care of it all the time; this, in principle, is our life. Just like animals, we wish to have children, we want them to feel good, we strive to ensure their future. In animals, this is very clearly manifested at the instinctive level. Their concern for themselves and for the future generation is the main thing beside the essentials for existence such as food and shelter.

So, in this respect, we are animals in our world relative to the upper world where we are called “man.”

What Are We Looking For In Each Other?

294.2Question: Why is a woman looking for a person in a man, and a man is satisfied with her more external forms?

Answer: A woman, first of all, looks at the human potential of a man, and he looks at her appearance, i.e., he is satisfied with the animal level.

The man is attracted to the animal. A woman reaches out to the person. This is absolutely natural because these two objects—a man and a woman—represent Zeir Anpin and Malchut, where Zeir Anpin is the upper, who is the source of light, life, and pleasure; therefore he has no way to get any fulfillment from a woman. He looks at her as the lowest degree because she is really below.

But he depends on her desire, on what she receives from him, on what makes him want to give to her. As a result, the proper interaction makes them absolutely equal to each other.

But initially in the search, a man as a masculine principle in the spiritual world is always looking for the feminine part of desire that stands below him because it is below the quality of bestowal, fulfillment. And a woman is looking for reliability in a man that will fill her.

Question: Is the woman’s demand when she asks a man why he does not see her as a person justified?

Answer: Sure. It comes from nature. But if they are correctly matched with each other and complement each other, then they see that they are absolutely mutually equal.
