The current stage of our development is dissemination because the world needs the right interconnection or as we say, mutual guarantee (Arvut).

Let’s say everyone agrees: “Yes, we need to be mutually connected; otherwise, we will eat each other.” But how can we come to a mutual agreement?

This is where Kabbalah comes into play. Not the preliminary stages when we say, “Be a good boy,” but Kabbalah, because without the upper light, without its attraction, you will not be able to change yourself. You will always oppose others. Therefore, Kabbalah is necessary for people.

They must ensure that a kind to each other is needed because nature obliges us to mutual guarantee. We are on a small sphere and are completely connected to each other. It does not depend on us; it is a condition that obliges us from above, from nature, and it enclosed us all together: “And now, sort it out.”

We will either arrange a showdown and then everyone will stick a knife into each other, or we will try to somehow come to an agreement.

But how can we agree if we are all egoists and only think about how to achieve something using others? At the same time we realize that it no longer works through the other, that if the system is round, then we need to act together.

The center of this system should be a common goal for everyone: not me, not you, not everyone for themselves, but the center of the system. How can we change ourselves, our nature? For the first time in history, we come to the need to change not technology, not society, but the person himself.

And then Kabbalah will come on the scene as the only means of attracting the power of correction.

Question: In Erich Maria Remarque’s in The Arc de Triomphe the character Dr. Ravic is a stateless refugee in Paris in the unstable period between World Wars I and II. He is a skilled, but unlicensed surgeon who “ghost operates” on patients on behalf of lesser-skilled French surgeons.

He was stripped him of his German citizenship and unable to exist legally anywhere else in western Europe; Ravic manages to hang on. He is one of many displaced refugees, stateless people without passports or documents who live under constant threat of being captured and deported from one country to the next.

In the novel it is written that he lived, and that was enough. The era was unstable, so why try to build something if everything will inevitably collapse soon? He was portrayed as thinking it is better to go with the flow without wasting your strength since strength is the only thing that cannot be restored. Holding on was what was important, and the less strength you spend, the better. It is better to keep them in reserve.

Do you think it is right in difficult times, to lay low and not to waste your strength, and just hold on? Even if it is projected to our time. We have a similar time, you might say. How does one survive in this time which is rather vague?

Answer: Our time is not what it was then. I do not think it is that vague. Nowadays we are not in a state where we can declare something and it will affect something. Here such forces are involved in the battle among themselves that, no matter what you squeak, no one will take it into account.

Question: Then tell me, how do we live in such a time?

Answer: Exist. Today everything is so captured by all kinds of bodies in all countries—in all of them!—that all your attempts are futile.

Question: Is this how one should live? How?

Answer: No, I have my own line. I believe that a person should be educated on the topic of who governs the world, how the world is governed, and how to enter this upper governance and act through it. But this is not politics or journalism, nothing like that.

I think that this is the way we can seriously affect the world.

Question: So do you think that is why this time has come, so that we have such opportunities?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is there such a thing as courage in order to come to this?

Answer: There is a different kind of courage here; it is in the fact that you have to confront your inner doubts, attitudes, and so on. That is the main thing.

Question: And the doubts are mainly: What kind of force is this? Does it exist at all?

Answer: Yes. We need to work to reveal it and to use it to move the world.

Question: Is this task peculiar to a strong person? Or can it become the task of any person to live like this and search?

Answer: I think that a person should feel a response in his heart. And then he will have the strength.

Question: So is the strength also given to him from above?

Answer: It will be given to him. He just needs to make a small effort. It is the same right to go through the years with the same goal, to despair and still get up and go.

Question: Can one person do this? Can he tune himself like this, all on his own?

Answer: I don’t know. Everyone is called Adam.

Question: From the word “similar to the Creator”? Is it about everyone?

Answer: About everyone, of course.

Question: What is your main advice nowadays?

Answer: Be human!

Question: Be Adam?

Answer: Yes.

What Determines The Future Of A Person?

In the history of human development there was a certain period when souls that we call prophets existed in our world as well as the spiritual world, and thus they described the future of humanity.

However, they described it conditionally: “If you behave this way, it will be this way, and if you behave differently, it will be different.” This is because freedom of choice remains, and they cannot say anything for certain.

That is, they can speak about certain states. If those states are already predetermined for the future and only continue to unfold, then nothing can be done to change it. It is like during a war when a signal is sent via all communication channels to all fronts and many different units, the orders are sent out and no one can stop anything from happening. They already begin to be into action as time unfolds.

It is the same in the material world, if we have made certain actions below, which were meant to bring us to the next degree either by a good path or a bad one, but we have already chosen this path according to our actions, it has to be realized this way. Then it is launched.

But until it unfolds in our world, it might take another five years. By forecasting the dates of the beginning and the end of the war, the Battle of Stalingrad and other events, Wolf Messing was simply psychologically connecting to the informational layer.

I am sure that all kinds of special units in all countries have been and are engaged in this. There are entire units that process this information as much as they can understand it. But they surely do not possess the method to influence the informational layer itself. For them it is what actually exists. They can inflict energetic blows on each other, but they are unable to affect a change of circumstances by that. For them it is like destiny.

Psychics emphasize that in this respect they are fatalists, meaning that they grasp the future as much as they can feel it, as deeply as they can see this picture, a temporal reference, meaning they receive information as if they are peeping into the future—but not more than that.

Nowadays, there are very few real homeopaths. A person who feels the action of powers is a godsend, not an ordinary doctor.

It is possible to study homeopathy, but it is not easy to become a specialist or a master because you need to feel the inner energies that are used to prepare homeopathic medicines: where they are and how they work.

It also depends on a person’s temperament, race, nationality, and even on time. Earlier, 20 to 30 years ago, certain homeopathic remedies were effective, but today there may be completely different ones: people change. After all, these drugs influence the system of internal forces of a person.

This is not allopathy, but a more subtle system, like Chinese medicine, acupuncture. In my entire life, I have seen dozens of so-called specialists, of which only one turned out to be a real specialist.

After my accident, my liver did not work, and the doctors refused to deal with me, they predicted I would last six months or a little more. But this guy took a big needle and said: “I have to stick this nine-centimeter-long needle into you, but you will not feel anything.” He squeezed it between his fingers and completely immersed it in my liver; in half a minute I was healthy, even though I had absolutely nothing left of my liver. This is a specialist!

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “How do I prevent a nuclear war?“

Even though there is a joint statement between five of the world’s most powerful nations—the United States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom and France—that “a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought,” we still see that these same nations continue spending trillions of dollars on the arms race. Such statements simply give the people what they want to hear so that those in power can continue their rule.

While we live with self-interest at our core, where we each prioritize self-benefit over the benefit of others, then we position ourselves on a rickety foundation to prevent any kind of future war.

In order to truly prevent a nuclear war, we need to correct our egoistic nature so that we will prioritize the benefit of others and nature over self-benefit, and we need this correction to play out among everybody: from the broadest masses to the ruling elite.

Correcting our egoistic nature and discovering a sturdy foundation for human relations that would safeguard us from future wars requires a new universal education—one that focuses on our need to unite above division.

We need to learn about our egoistic nature: how is it opposed to the general altruistic laws of nature? What are the driving forces behind human development? Where are we headed? And how can we align ourselves with nature’s altruistic laws in order to experience harmony, peace and balance in our lives?

The more we immerse ourselves with this new form of universal education and start correcting our egoistic nature, the more we will protect ourselves from future wars.

Question: Is there a purpose for non-kosher animals?

Answer: Non-kosher animals symbolize desires that we are not yet able to correct. Therefore, we must put those desires aside for the time being and not use them until the final correction.

In the final correction, they will all rise and be corrected. It is said that the pig will be the most kosher animal. It is just that now it represents the desires that cannot be corrected, and it is not only pigs, but also camels and other animals. The pig is just a symbol.

From a spiritual point of view, there are many different prohibitions. For example, it is forbidden to eat the first fruits from trees for three years; you should not cut the edges of the field, but leave them for the poor because you cannot use everything for the sake of the Creator. And there are many more.

In fact, the Talmud, like all sources, explains the laws of the spiritual world.

Question: If a person in our world eats pork, does that mean something?

Answer: It does not mean anything unless he wishes to become like the upper world at the same time. He does no harm to his health.

Question: But a Kabbalist would not eat pork?

Answer: In principle, this is a very difficult question. In general, a Kabbalist tries to imitate all the laws of the upper world in his mechanical actions, although he treats this completely differently from other believers.

In principle, we are only talking about spiritual work, and this absolutely does not include any physical actions.

In our world, there is a certain cyclical change of time, days, weeks, and so on, because the perception of a person is divided in this way. Everything happens relative to him. The person who began to build the upper world in himself revealed it in certain measures of attainment: day-night, week, that is, six days, and the seventh state is called Shabbat (Saturday).

Then he began to determine that his sensations depend on some special light source called the “moon,” and relative to it he is in a state of four definite steps called “weeks.” Then he felt his dependence on another source of light called the “sun,” relative to which he is in a state of twelve or thirteen degrees. These degrees change every four years.

This was determined by Adam, the first person who attained the spiritual world. Everything comes from him to us.

Question: If the masses do not go through the same sensations as people with the point in the heart, do they lose something or is their perception a result of the entire movement?

Answer: When the masses come together, they begin to work harmoniously.

Question: But people with the point in the heart experience an entire set of sensations and impressions that give breadth of vision, a completely different perception. How do the masses receive this?

Answer: They receive this by connecting to people with the point in the heart and creating one unified system between them. Therefore, their perception becomes the same as in one single organism.

Then there is such a connection between them and they reach such an adhesion when all the difference disappears between all the billions of these particles. All communication lines disappear, and they become one common whole, the way water drops merge into one.
