Comment: Researchers have found a formula for box office success of a screenplay. Films that follow a certain pattern make the most money; the pattern is a sharp fall and followed by a rise.

My Response: Of course, a “happy ending.” To do this, you need to create a drama and then gradually bring it to a happy ending. People cry and come out of the movie theater moved. Or when they finish watching TV at home, they feel content and joyful.

Question: Is it the same in Kabbalah?

Answer: It is the same in Kabbalah, of course. That is how it works: there is no rise without a fall, no love without hate, and so on.

This is the whole method of Kabbalah—ascents and descents. “And there was evening, and there was morning, one day.” It all starts with the evening, with night, with descent.

This needs to be learned, one must know how to control it so all ascents and descents are controlled, and a person enjoys descents as much as ascents. That is the thing!

Just like with scientists: achieving a result is good, applause, awards, all else. But the search, the suffering, the birth of everything new, this is pleasure, this is creativity!

Comment: An ordinary person wants to get out of misfortune as quickly as possible.

My Response: To do this, he needs to understand the general equation of nature. Everything goes exactly according to this sine wave. There is a special progression in this, and in this way, everything is created in nature.

Question: Can a person accept this?

Answer: It needs to be explained. But who is going to do it? That is the problem! There are no people to do this. Nobody has the strength to go up to people and start explaining it all to them, they just turn away.

Comment: It is easier to take antidepressants and disconnect. Or smoke something.

My Response: Smoking something is the future of humanity. But life will lead us. Nature is shaking us up; we are close to people beginning to listen because there is no other way out. Humanity will find itself in a state where, like a small child, it stands in the middle of the room, not knowing what to do, and cries.

Question: Where is that lifeline so one understands that this is a descent for the sake of a great ascent?

Answer: No, he should be really scared and cry out. He must find that he cannot calm down because no help comes from anywhere. There is no mother, no adults, no one to rely on. And all the time, a bear, a wolf, or something else keeps coming out from different corners of this room. Then humanity will begin to listen to what the Kabbalists have to say about it.

An egoist cannot listen to anything unless he is scared. This is the only thing that leads humanity to its goal. Through evil to good, through thorns to the stars, that is the only way.

Good luck to all of us in this!
