Question: The cat said, “Rabbits are unworthy of being taught. I’m offering cheap mouse-catching lessons, and not even one rabbit was interested.”

In principle, the entire system of education is built on this. I am a “rabbit,” and I am constantly being poked and forced to study things that do not suit me at all. I don’t need anything.

How should the education system truly be structured? As a “rabbit,” what should I be given? Should I learn how to get cabbage and carrots correctly, or should I be taught how to catch mice? What should I know?

Answer: First and foremost, you should learn to exist safely. This is the most important thing for a living organism.

Look at what animals teach their offspring, exactly that. So should we provide such knowledge to the new generation: what to defend against, how to defend, why defend, and so on. That’s the first priority. The basics should be there.

Question: What’s next? Where am I heading?

Answer: Next? Multiply and provide for children, if this is the philosophy of a rabbit.

Question: We always talk about the goal and where to go. Should I somehow be guided toward it?

Answer: Of course, they should always show you your new goal—more detailed, higher, and so on.

Question: Should I be prepared for some lofty goal?

Answer: In principle, I think it’s not necessary. I believe that problems start when you chase after this lofty goal. We try to push our loved ones into it, and overall it doesn’t lead to good.

The most important thing for us is to provide people with knowledge, confidence, how they can safely build a family, and surroundings in which they can exist.

Question: What about the lofty goals you talk about all the time? Connection with others. Or does that fall under safety? Good connections with others and so on.

Answer: But that is not a lofty goal; it is a necessity for existence.

Question: So is this what we need for existence today? Good connections with others. Where is the supreme governing force in this whole system? Where is the Creator?

Answer: Where it is necessary, you will find it.

Question: So should I come to the necessity of the Creator in my life?

Answer: To some extent. Not excessively. If you promote the Creator and the connection with Him, you will run into very big troubles. There is no need. As much as a person can live peacefully and exist in his small circle, that is what he should be given.

Question: What’s next?

Answer: There is no next.

Question: Just to live according to these goals?

Answer: Yes. Who are we that we need something more?

Comment: We are thinking, conscious beings after all.

My Response: All our thinking and all our actions are only to start dominating others. So I don’t think it is a good path. It is an unsafe and generally harmful path that leads to destruction.

Comment: That is, when you talk about safety, you are saying that destroying others cannot be a safe path.

My Response: We must understand that a wise person is one who knows how to be content with the normal fulfillment of oneself and the surrounding society. That is, if we come to the point where only the necessary is enough for me, everything will start falling into place.
