Question: Today, children are also taught to share and to give in school, but when they go out into the world, they fall under the influence of different values. What should we add to the existing education system in order to form a human being and not just a specialist?
Answer: A typical contemporary school cannot raise a human being or instill the right attitude toward others because this is possible only through the proper environment (society) that must first be created around the students.
No school in the world sets this as a goal. Students everywhere are taught to achieve formal success in exams, to win competitions, and to step over others. The main goal in life is to succeed and to acquire a profession that will bring the highest income possible.
This was the right approach in a competitive society. But today, we have entered an integral society where the law is: “It is not the strongest who conquers all, it is the one who unites with others who win (along with all).” Therefore the need has arisen to cultivate a new kind of human being, not an adversary of all, but a friend to all.
Raising this kind of person goes against our egoistic nature. Therefore, a special method (the wisdom of Kabbalah) and a means (the force of correction) are required. Otherwise, people will once again distort the idea of unity into a form of “Workers of the world, unite!” and will again try to build socialism or kibbutzes. As long as we act from within our inherent egoism, nothing else will come to mind.
Therefore, education is the fundamental problem of society. Without solving it, society will never rebuild itself as required by nature. And such rebuilding is possible only through the application of Kabbalistic principles.

Deciding when to go in the right line and when in the left is difficult work, and it is what we will have to engage in in the future.
Whenever each of us encounters personal disturbances that knock us off the path, we will rise above them and restore wholeness. We are like the keys of one musical instrument, which are pressed down and lifted up in turn.
Sometimes one of us becomes greater and another smaller, and then vice versa. In this manner we will feel how the Creator speaks to us, how He plays on us like on ten piano keys, transmitting His language. We will become the musical instrument on which the Creator plays.
The melody reflects all our states and the conflicts between us, in both minor and major keys, in a symphony of different sounds. Therefore every melody is very different. If you look at the Psalms of King David, you can see how distinct they are. Although we do not know what their melodies were, even by their words and rhythm one can imagine what unique works they must have been in sound.
I hope that we will be able to rise to a state where we can hear the songs of King David, his heavenly music, because nothing disappears in the spiritual world. We will be able to hear King David’s voice singing the Psalms.
The Creator speaks to us through all the primary sources, the works of the Kabbalists, because they were written from a state of adhesion with the Creator, from attainment, always in the middle line.

RABASH said that his father, Baal HaSulam, promised that by following his path and following his advice, we would be granted eternal life by the Creator in order to adhere to Him.
RABASH himself achieved high spiritual attainment using only the works and advice of his father. There is no other practical means of revealing the upper world to our generation except for the works of Baal HaSulam.
That is why his soul is especially close to us. After all, we evaluate everything by its benefit to ourselves. We do not compare the stature of the Kabbalists: Moses, RASHBI, the ARI, Baal HaSulam, and RABASH.
Just as the most important thing for a child is his mother, so do I depend on receiving spiritual eternal life from the soul that preceded me: RABASH and Baal HaSulam. Of course, there are still many high souls, but we can only connect with the spiritual system through RABASH and Baal HaSulam.

Question: If a person is above their environment, can they influence and correct it?
Answer: A person cannot rise above one’s environment! They are completely dependent on it. Even if they are ordinary people, and he is a great Kabbalist, they will still influence him.
Imagine that you take a beautiful tree full of fruit, pull it out of the ground and plant it in the middle of the desert. What will happen to it? Will it turn the desert into a blooming garden?
Our soul depends on the environment in the same way.
The purpose of creation is both the group and my personal work, and the Creator within at this one point. Imagine that your whole life depends on this one point that you need to figure out. Right now whether you will live or not depends on it! And so it is every moment.
For example, you can’t breathe if you don’t press this point, and then oxygen comes to you from there. And if I didn’t press it, I didn’t join it, there is no oxygen.
