The Most Inconvenient Truth
We cannot rise above what we feel. If we feel a world full of suffering, it means that we ourselves are actually like that. And inside, we do not really want to see the world differently. We actually want it to stay that way.
Question: So do we want this suffering?
Answer: Yes, we are used to it, we are in it. And this is the problem.
Comment: But this is actually an anti-life.
My Response: That is where we are.
Question: We are not living, are we?
Answer: We are not.
Comment: This is a total revolution—us wanting suffering.
My Response: Our whole history, of all people in general, is just a continuous
stream of suffering.
Comment: But we think we have been led into this. It is even written in the Torah: “Go and suffer.” By and large, it says that you will suffer. That is, we do not attribute it to ourselves; it is not us who want it, we have been launched into this cycle of suffering. It is not our fault. But you say that it lives in us.
My Response: I think it is our fault. We do not wish to rise from this level. We do not want to!
Question: So the whole task is to want to?
Answer: To want to turn it all around, to get out of this knot of suffering.
Question: What should one do to achieve this?
Answer: To achieve this, a person must stop hating others and bring himself closer to them. Then everything will change. I think we just need to forbid people from suffering, because doing so causes suffering in the world. Wake up and sing!
Question: “Wake up and sing.” That is, if it hurts you, wake up and sing. That very song: “Wake up and sing, try it for once in your life…”?
Answer: Yes.
Question: What should we figure out? What is in front of us? What is it?
Answer: The Creator! Nothing else! He makes such scenes and visions for us all the time so that we are constantly afraid and so that we would gradually come to understand these mirages.
Question: So, my desire for suffering should transition into the fact that before me is a…?
Answer: A mirage.
Question: And I have no right to suffer, you say?
Answer: No! As soon as you start suffering, it turns into some kind of corporeal actions or scenes.
Comment: Wars, and so on.
My Response: Yes. But if you do not allow suffering, everything gets better.
Question: And then I slowly begin to see the Creator?
Answer: Yes.
Question: When you say “the Creator,” what do you mean? What is before me, before us?
Answer: The force that controls the world, us, that wants to bring us to the realization of the right state of nature and ourselves.
Question: What is it?
Answer: Joy!
