Question: You say that people treat each other poorly, don’t help each other, etc. What is the right way to behave?

Answer: Until you see the entire system of creation as a whole, nothing will help. You must see it! At the very least, try to conceptualize it according to scientists’ opinions.

Suppose you don’t see a radiation field, but you fear it: “What if I am being exposed to radiation?” It’s the same here. This needs to be taught.

This is the basis for the integral upbringing and education that we are developing for everyone in the world, so that people understand that they are in one integral sphere and completely depend on each other. Each one defines the others and thereby determine their own state.

This is an eternal nature, not something temporary, to say, “Okay, I’ve lived like this, and I’ll die like this, that’s how I am.” No, this is an eternal state, and you cannot escape from it. And you, in addition to this state, appear in your animal body, and it dies, appears, and dies. But you are forever included in this sphere, in this communication among everyone, as its special element, as a part of the system called “Adam.”

Question: You said that there is a certain futility in conveying information when you do not know the other person’s desire. When asked how dissemination should work, you said, “You must take a person’s desire and ‘wear’ it yourself,” meaning, convey this information from your own experience, and only then will it work.

How do you do this? After all, each case is individual, and there is no such thing as a programmed response.

Answer: I never have programmed responses because every time I communicate with someone, I connect with them and become included in their desires.

First, I feel the entire system of creation, albeit at the level that I can perceive it. Just as a person feels our world, I feel the inner system of connection between everything, the place of that person, and my place within it. Based on this, contact occurs between us.

It does not matter what they tell me or even what I tell them. What matters is that this contact is always aimed at reaching maximum connection and maximum integration of this person into the common system of creation.

Suppose there is a particular individual element in front of me, and I connect him to the overall system precisely at the time I am communicating with them. This is what I do with each of my students.

Then, if they continue this themselves, they become an independent element in this system and act within it. But their connection was initiated by me from my side. And they must continue from their side. So, each time I seem to give birth to them on some level, in some world, and then they must continue to live.

Just as animals give birth to offspring and they are blind, unable to hold their heads up, crawl around their mother, so too must a human, who is even more helpless, try to survive, just like them.

Question: You described the state of the student relative to you. How can a student do the same thing relative to someone else?

Answer: People constantly do the same thing in their interactions with each other, but they don’t see it, don’t understand it, and of course, they operate at a much lower level.

Question: What does a person who does not perceive the spiritual system do?

Answer: For this, we have courses where methods of incorporation into this system are studied. They give a person the opportunity to see the integral interconnection between all people. It is gradually approaching us, and we cannot escape from it. We have to get to know it, adapt it to ourselves or ourselves to it, otherwise it will be bad.

This system manages us and governs the whole world, the fate of humanity. If we get acquainted with it and are able to interact with it as correctly as possible, a person will bring himself and the whole world to a perfect state.

Everyone has the opportunity to imagine this picture in some, not yet sensory, but purely contemplative way. All kinds of clips, drawings, films, and articles have been created on this topic, all kinds of forums and practical classes are held so that a person gets an idea about this system, and then his integration into mutual connection with others occurs.

He will feel how it breathes, how it works, how the entire surrounding world is within this system.

First I have to imagine the Creator in the center of my picture. Some forces are acting on me, at the center of which is the Creator, and I direct all my actions, with which I want to respond to Him, at Him.

The first condition is that “There is none else besides Him,” without which nothing will work, and He sends me all the states, no matter what I do. And that is why I have to answer Him. In every action, I count on the Creator: only from the Creator do I receive awakening, what to do and in what form, and only to Him do I turn with a response, that is, what impression I want to evoke in the Creator by my action.

And if I act all the time in this way: “I am to my Beloved, and my Beloved is to me,” then I will succeed very quickly.

Question: What is the difference between the fact that a person feels dead in spirituality and that he wants nothing but spirituality?

Answer: The difference is vast. In one state, you get everything; in the other, you get emptiness. What could be more vivid about a person’s desires?

Question: There is a void in both places. Does spirituality also unfold from the void?

Answer: Spirituality is revealed not from emptiness, but from the fact that you are empty.

Question: What is an attack on the Creator?

Answer: This means that with the help of the actions that the Creator performs in the world on each of you and all of you, you want to influence Him so that He changes His attitude toward you, helps, and lifts you up.

Question: Is the attack a prayer?

Answer: Prayer, action, it does not matter.

Question: How do I verify that we have made an attack? In a conventional war, this is understandable because the result is immediately visible. How do we see that we influenced Him when He starts helping us? Is this even possible?

Answer: Yes, it is possible. Moreover, you will enter into an action together with the Creator.

Question: How can we organize an attack in the ten?

Answer: Come to an agreement with each other, try it, and see where it leads you.

This is the meaning of “your eyes are as doves.” Eynaim [eyes] of Kedusha [holiness], called Eynaim of the Shechina [Divinity], are Yonim [doves]. They deceive us and we think that she has no Eynaim, as it is written in The Zohar, “A fair maiden who has no eyes” (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 28, “I Shall Not Die but Live”).

The eyes of holiness are the precise, pure attitude of the Creator toward creation. Next to it, there are other degrees. Based on the degrees one merits to reach, he looks at what is happening to him, to the world, and the Creator.

Question: Why does it say the eyes of the Holy Shechina deceive us?

Answer: Because we do not actually see them. Shechina without eyes is faith above reason.

Question: It follows that until we come to bestowal or reveal the Shechina, we are blind and do not see the truth. How can we find the way? How will it be shown to us?

Answer: Only through the connection between you. If you want to unite and reveal the Creator in your unity, you will succeed.

Question: One day a lot of starfish came in with the tide. When the tide was low they were left to die on the sand. A boy began to throw the stars into the sea so that they would survive.

A man came up to him and said: “This is stupid. There are a million starfish here, and your attempts will not change anything.” The boy picked up the next starfish and said: “No, my attempts will change a lot for this very star.”

Today, many people are suffering, as we know. Is trying to eliminate or reduce this suffering for one person the right thing to do?

Answer: In general, yes. It depends on what calculation you make. You are dealing either with the Creator, or with the suffering of this person, or with yourself, and so on.

Question: If I am dealing with the Creator, then where is the suffering coming from?

Answer: From the Creator.

Question: And they are given to this person so that he could go through it?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And, by and large, do I not even have the right to interfere?

Answer: This is also taken into account by the Creator, so it does not matter, you can do it. You want to save others from suffering so that you can feel better. Egoism has not gone anywhere.

Question: Do you still admit the possibility that I want to save a person from suffering?

Answer: No, you cannot be in his shoes.

Question: So what is empathy for another person?

Answer: This is because you empathize; that is, you imagine that this is all happening to you, and therefore you must make him feel better.

Question: And are you still thinking about yourself?

Answer: And nothing else!

Question: How do we get out of this impasse?

Answer: There is no way out. No way!

Comment: That is, all the people who do charity work…

My Response: Of course, they are doing it only for themselves!

Question: Is the only way out to turn to the source of all suffering?

Answer: Turn to the Creator, and if the Creator puts you in a very special state where He eliminates your egoism, your desires to enjoy, then you will be able to do something for the sake of others, and not for yourself. But these are all exceptional cases.

Question: Let ‘s take such an ideal case. What does it mean to do something for the sake of another person? The Creator gave this opportunity. What does it mean?

Answer: Imagine that you have to cut yourself off from all connection with another person. Disconnect yourself from him and do good to him.

Question: Without thinking about yourself at all?

Answer: In any way! This is called that I disconnect myself from another person.

Question: Is this the help of the Creator if He gives such an opportunity to a person?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So is a person not capable of this in any other way?

Answer: No, he is not. It is not our nature.

Question: How is all this veiled and covered up so that we have the feeling that we are really doing good?

Answer: This is what we do in this life. Nothing can be done to us, we are so unusual

Question: Then the key question is, should you still do good to others or not? Should I try to do this or not?

Answer: I would tell you, do it just in case. 🙂 What an egoistic answer, isn’t it?

Question: You will get credit for that, right?

Answer: Yes. You would say that I once did something, here and there…

Comment: That is, one way or another, you claim that I gain these points for myself.

My Response: You do not gain them.

Question: So I do not gain them as a result. And yet, should I try to do to others what I consider good or not?

Answer: Do it, but at the same time, think that by doing this you are not doing anything for yourself. Then it will actually be more or less clean.

Question: That is, do I not gain anything from this, as it were?

Answer: No. I do not gain, I will not gain, and I do not want to gain.

Question: What if it hurts me so much that there is no way for me to get out of this nature?

Answer: Then you are a good egoist. A good egoist means that I would like to rise above my egoism, but I cannot. And that is why I suffer.

Question: Is this a good state by and large?

Answer: No, this is a wretched state. 🙂

Question: Can this state be called a prayer or not?

Answer: Any state can be called a prayer.

Question: Which prayer is correct, in your opinion?

Answer: A correct prayer is when I am looking at a wallet lying on the ground and I imagine that there is a bank note for a million dollars in it. 🙂

Question: And I ask that it be so? That is, after all, one way or another, it is for myself?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And if it makes me feel bad, and I want to get rid of it?

Answer: No, when you understand that this is your nature, then you will not feel bad.

Question: Coming to the conclusion that this is my nature, precisely understanding this in my heart and mind, is this practically the starting point?

Answer: Yes, from this you can start moving.
