In the News (Popular Mechanics): “It sure looks like Jeff Bezos has plans to cheat death.

“The founder and former CEO of Amazon has reportedly made an investment in the freshly launched Altos Labs, a biotech startup focused on ‘cellular rejuvenation programming to restore cell health and resilience, with the goal of reversing disease to transform medicine’ … . With $3 billion in backing on day one, Altos Labs has hit the ground running with what may be the single largest funding round for a biotech company, according to the Financial Times of London.”

My Response: Naturally, he cares about this. He will take care for himself.

Question: What do you think about this aspiration of people? He probably explains it beautifully: “I want people to live longer,” and so on.

Answer: Why do people need to live longer?

Comment: Man wants to live longer.

My Response: Why? He does not know. But he wants to. Let him answer this first: “Why do you need it?”

Let’s say I have the elixir of life. You take one drop and you will live another 100 years. Then you will come to me again. And then what? How will this help such a Mephistopheles?

Question: Do you think that a person’s hand will not shake when he takes this drop in order to live longer? Or do you actually want that his hand would shake, and he would think: “Why? What will it give me?”

Answer: The instinct to live is very strong. If I know that I am now in charge of my life and death, then I think that everyone will agree for yet another round.

Question: To live more, to suffer for another round?

Answer: Only the fear of death, its inevitability, and the unknown will make a person live. That is, nothing good.

Question: Are you saying that the fear of death will make a person live and not the purpose of life?

Answer: It is natural. What purpose of life? There is none. The purpose of an ordinary person’s life is to escape from death. Why? “I am afraid.”

Question: How should it be?

Answer: I have seen many elderly people, old people who agree with death: “Now I am going to lie down and I will not get up, and it is good.” A person gets tired of life. Why continue the same thing tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and again?

Question: If you find the purpose of life, then is it justified to live longer and longer? I have found the purpose of life, I want to reach it.

Answer: Then, naturally, you have all the incentives. If your purpose in life justifies prolonging your life, prolong it. Come to the cashier, write a request, and take the elixir.

Question: Should the purpose of life be unattainable? Very elevated? Or are we talking about even an ordinary purpose of life?

Answer: You write a request, and we will see. We will make a decision. Let’s give him two years or 20 years. Or maybe 200 years.

Question: For what purpose of life will you personally approve 200 years and give the elixir? Say, somebody came to you and said: “I have such and such purpose of life.”

Answer: I would not give anything to anyone. Absolutely nothing to anyone. Whatever you have, keep within this deadline.

Question: What purpose do you accept as the purpose of life?

Answer: To be able to do more for people. This is not easy. To reach such a decision and then implement it. I hope we will have enough time.

Question: These days, everything can easily be painted gold. Although it looks cheap, people still have a desire for something shiny, made to look like gold. Why doesn’t the passion for this disappear?

Answer: We cannot be indifferent to the color of gold because for thousands of years it has been the most valuable color. If we give a child different colors to play with, he will also reach for the warm light. Not for silver, but for gold, because it is a warm light, a warm color.

But personally, I do not look at it that way. I have not felt any value in it for a long time.

Comment: It’s just that the entire world is constantly revolving around shiny trinkets.

My Response: The entire world must come to the recognition of the evil of its egoism, to the fact that we work for it for free, that this egoism is inside everyone like a cancerous tumor eating us up.

A person must understand this, and begin to fight against egoism, to feel it in himself as the most evil, most cunning, insidious enemy, and also understand that there is nothing outside, and everything is only inside.

Question: Should people who are looking for a spouse match each other mentally?

Answer: It is desirable that they are from the same society, the same circle, that they understand each other mentally and emotionally, have similar habits, and their parents have the same ideology; otherwise, it is very difficult.

In nature, everything strives for similarity, for balance. If you take a person from Asia, and another from Chukotka or North America, it is very difficult for them to interact and to have mutual understanding so they can connect and represent one whole.

Therefore, nature creates everything in pairs and on rapprochement between people. I advise that similar aspire for similar.

Comment: Often a woman thinks that if she marries an Englishman, for example, her life will change for the better.

My Response: She will not appreciate him. I have many such examples. She will live in her shell and he will live in his. Maybe there will be normal relations between them, but purely externally; there will be no internal contact.

If we are talking about a couple, then a person must still feel the other directly. When you create any mechanism, you think about how its parts will adapt to each other, accept, perceive, and continue one another.

Comment: But there are some couples that do become closer to each other.

My Response: It happens, but it is an exception. It is better to choose a spouse of the same mentality, from the same land, with the same upbringing and understanding.

Over time, all this will go through the general correction, will be melted down, and real spiritual individuals will come out of all of us. I think that we will see something like that even in this generation.

Question: What kind of power does a woman give to a man?

Answer: A woman develops what she receives from a man and creates a new generation. Meaning, she develops not herself and not him, but the next generation, in relation to which she appears as a creator.

In the upper world, the soul is born from the female part, Bina. In our world, the next generation, both male and female individuals are born from the mother. In this respect, a woman performs the function of the Creator.

The function of a man is to determine how and what will be born from her. This symbiosis of the two parts is so interconnected that it is sometimes very difficult to separate their mutual functions. But the interdependence is just amazing!

A woman should be equal with a man: mentally, spiritually. At every level, they should interact equally, and only in this way will they be able to produce the next normal generation, both material and spiritual.
