Where Is the Train Going?
Comment: We must bring Kabbalah to people without frightening them.
My Response: I’m not frightening them. I’m offering medicine for their fears, only I’m offering it not so that they would stay in this life and sweeten it a little, but to rise to a level where they would be eternal, perfect, infinite. Of course, it sounds cool and unclear, but deep down every person basically wants only this.
Comment: It’s clear that the one who is meant to come to Kabbalah will come, his inner part will open. And the one who isn’t meant to…
My Response: Even the one who isn’t meant will still want to come, because this life is becoming very frightening. Frightening! Just wait a little. Here there will be an oil spill, there will be a volcano, another tsunami, a couple more fires. Let’s live until winter and you’ll see what kind of winter it will be, maybe minus fifty degrees. That is worse than plus forty in summer.
So everything is still ahead. I’m not threatening, on the contrary I want us to go on a fast, good path, because for your child you always want him to grow wiser, not make foolish mistakes and to have things go well, not so you have to punish him.
Question: But in fact, a blow comes, a person feels depressed, unwell. Do you really think some part in him will open, or that some process will happen in him?
Answer: If you get hit a couple of times, you will agree to anything! You don’t have your own “I.” Our “I” is not ours. We are all little animals. The “I” can be suppressed any way, and you will agree to anything.
Even now you subconsciously act according to your animal state. You have no personal philosophy, no ideology, you don’t stand on anything. There is no such notion in our world. We all proceed from our egoism; it dictates to us what to hold onto, what to value. That is all.
Who is a person in this world anyway? A small programmed egoistic creature with nothing of his own. A puppet on strings pulled from above, with no freewill. So why even reason about it?
Question: And the process? What happens to the person after the blow? What is transformed?
Answer: This puppet starts to twitch a little. Then he gets the chance to hear how to get rid of suffering.
Question: And how will he hear among the general mass of information around him?
Answer: Maybe he will have to go to India for twenty years and come back empty. And the next generation won’t go at all. For now, nothing can be done.
Question: So it’s not a stage of one single blow?
Answer: No, humanity must come to awareness on its own, otherwise you will lead it by force. This unprocessed stage must work itself through. It is like a rocket: the first stage burns out, the second ignites, then the third, and so on.
People must see the emptiness in philosophies, in sciences, in religions, and in everything else. They must uncover this emptiness, see in all of it only earthly culture, and to that extent use it reasonably. But it will give them only registration in the train in which they are riding. And where is the train going? That is for them to find out.
