Question: Should we learn to feel the pain of others?

Answer: We should learn to feel the pain of others because by doing so we create a positive field of mutual connection around ourselves. It is necessary for existence.

Comment: A person who condemns another will unexpectedly find themselves experiencing the same state.

My Response: And that is very good! He was given an opportunity to correct himself because in the very trait that he condemns, the saw himself. Anyone who notices a flaw in another does so because that flaw exists within them; otherwise, they would not recognize it in someone else.

The fact is that by expressing condemnation out loud, they also begin to go through this correction. On our level this triggers a feedback loop from the other person. However, if they only condemn in their thoughts without voicing it, they are less involved in the process.

Question: Nevertheless, is a thought not much stronger than a word?

Answer: Not for us! Not for those who are still at the level of our world where everything is determined by words or a person’s appearance rather than their inner essence.

Question: But in principle is the influence of thought still strong?

Answer: Absolutely! The influence of thought is absolute!

Comment: Researchers are sounding the alarm that they have assessed the shortage of women on a global scale.

My Response: It was always believed that there are more women than men. Are there
suddenly less now?

Question: Yes, the deficit of women is estimated to be 23 million. On the other hand, scientists believe that the imbalance in the world such as the threat of a nuclear attack and all conflicts in general, indicates the absence of women in decision-making teams even at the highest levels. What do women bring? What component do they bring to the negotiation process and communication?

Answer: From childhood we see girls play with toys, build a house, and cook food on small toy stoves while boys play war, compete, etc. Girls play with dolls, and boys chase and hit things. This is a natural outlet of inner energy both male and female.

Therefore, it is natural that allowing women to participate more in our organizations would be much safer for peace.

Question: Researchers say that due to men being more ambitious and inclined to win, they are more competitive at the core; they want to win, which leads to conflicts and extremes.

According to a survey of women in parliaments and high positions, researchers deny that women are so innocent compared to militant men. However, they say women bring rationality, creativity, and a spirit of collaboration.

Why is this happening? Where is the trigger when both are selfish?

Answer: Women are more egoistic. Therefore, they are prone to all kinds of connections and compromises because it is better than any war. They weigh everything that happens very soberly. They have a good reserve of sound selfishness to exercise self-control and think: “This needs to be handled that way. Or it will lead to tears.”

In a woman, egoism manifests in the form of dolls and in boys in war games. But both are egoism. Which one is preferable? Female. She tends to make things easier and achieve friendship and cooperation, which would not lead to terrible, irreversible processes.

In men, on the contrary, this selfish component is rigid. He does not think about what will happen tomorrow; he is ready to break everything today. But both are egoists!

If you ask me at the level of our world, it is preferable for women to lead the world and men to work for them, just like a child with his mother.

Question: What does Kabbalah say about this interaction?

Answer: Kabbalah does not talk about this because it does not deal with a man and a woman of our world when they are both selfish and corrupt. What can Kabbalah say about them? They need to be re-educated, and only then can we work with them.

Everyone should be who they are; they only need to correct themselves to the level, practically, of the Creator. And that is it! Nothing needs to be done differently.

I am not going to talk about who is better or worse. Everyone has to correct themselves to do good work for humanity. In this regard, they will all see how much they complement each other and how necessary they are to each other—both men and women.

Question: What about the gender imbalance?

Answer: There will be no imbalance then. But to achieve this, you need to remove all the egoistic components of both.

Question: How do we do this?

Answer: It is very easy to do this with the help of the method of correction and education. There is no other way. To do this, come to our courses.

Talks about the Steps of the Ladder, Part 78

Can We Also Derive “Fuel” from Within Ourselves?

We can never derive strength from within ourselves. Since we are in a lower state, where would we draw strength from? To ascend to a higher level, we must receive additional desires and screens, which are corrections.

What is the difference between a small and a great one? The small one lacks additional flesh (desires) and intellect. Why are children not given much strength? It is because they lack the intellect to handle it responsibly. As they grow up, they are given more and more strength and intellect. Without a balance between the two, the system would be dysfunctional. The same applies here. The lower one receives additional negative forces and uncorrected desires from the upper one, which hides itself. Then, the lower one must also receive light from the upper one to correct these empty vessels, and align itself with the upper one.

However, if we do nothing and wait for the situation to improve on its own, nothing will change, and the correction will not happen. In moments of emptiness, we must turn to the group and to the study, and carry out any actions that might help. These actions are called “good deeds,” actions that lead us to goodness. There is no alternative. We cannot find the necessary strength within ourselves.
