Question: Why did many researchers call 2012 a turning point in human development?

Answer: I did not consider this year to be a turning point, but even before that I was skeptical about many things. For example, although many great Kabbalists, such as Baal HaSulam, the Gaon of Vilnius, and others, wrote that Kabbalah would begin to be revealed to the masses in 1995, I did not believe that this would happen. I speak frankly about this.

That is, I did not see in my Kabbalistic studies how this could happen. On my still spiritual, but small level, I did not see this. They, however, being very prominent discoverers of the spiritual world, discovered it. Outwardly, I agreed with their vision, but inside, as a researcher, I was skeptical. Kabbalah is a science, and I have the right to say that I did not feel it.

The same is true for 2012. I did not see any suppositions for this year to be special. Now any year, any day, can be a turning point in the development of humanity. Some small blow is enough to seriously awaken a person, as, for example, academician Vernadsky awakened in his time, but not so much through a personal drama.

However, we need a shake-up so that a person seriously rises above his little world and asks: “What for? Why? How? I need to know the answer.” And then he will need to reveal Kabbalah.

It will become the means by which he will open the “noosphere” and all the upper worlds, and reach the connection of both worlds and the eternal, infinite, perfect existence—not dying, but rising above his animate level to the spiritual level.

Question: Did Vernadsky call the noosphere a certain new level of existence?

Answer: Yes. But anyway, this word does not exist in Kabbalah, just like many others. For example, there is no term “holism” from the English words for “everything” or “completely.” But in principle this is heading in the same direction. Only Kabbalah divides this into many different levels and gives them their own names.

Question: Scientists are very concerned that the magnetic poles are reversing. They say such a reversal could create “pronounced climate change” and that terrible cataclysms and changes await our planet.

Why is this happening? Is there any explanation for this from the point of view of Kabbalah science?

Answer: From the point of view of Kabbalah, I have not found an explanation for this, although I have been hearing about it for a long time. I am in contact with many scientists and am interested in all the changes they observe and what statistics they generate.

I am trying to find a correlation between what all kinds of observations with the naked eye of nature say and what is described in Kabbalistic sources and can be observed by Kabbalists.

Naturally, we expect all kinds of troubles from nature because we do not match it. Our well-being depends on how similar we are to it.

Let’s say my existence is set in a certain range of temperatures. In the range from plus 15 Celsius to plus 25 – 30, I can exist as a Neanderthal, as a naked person. In other cases, if I, for example, go under water or go up into space, I have to use special clothes, additional devices to adapt to temperature and pressure.

Humans are very weak beings. Nature affects us with all sorts of parameters, including ones that are unknown, imperceptible, and unconscious to us.

To date, we know about several thousand parameters that must be maintained in some kind of homeostasis and equilibrium with the surrounding nature or within our system, which is under the influence of the environment.

A person is a very subtle, dynamic, delicate system. Any change in one direction or another entails a change in other parameters and in other systems. This causes an imbalance.

What does blood pressure, high blood sugar, and all kinds of health problems mean? This is practically an imbalance of the system. It must be in balance, which is achieved by internal self-regulation and balance with the environment.

The problem is that we have learned to achieve this balance artificially. We invent all kinds of devices that help us not pay attention to external temperature, pressure, or any natural phenomena: thunder, lightning, whatever.

We are not interested in this. We have put ourselves in some kind of cocoon and we can, as it seems to us, do whatever we want. It turns out that for thousands of years we have always surrounded ourselves with such a cocoon, constantly improving it in order to be less dependent on nature. And at the same time, we ourselves became increasingly opposed to it in our cultural, moral, technical, and social development.

Now we are revealing that nature is interconnected, global, integral, built on cooperation, concessions, love, balance, on the connection of all its systems, all parts. And we don’t pay attention to it. We are the masters of nature, we are above it, and we are higher than it.

It turns out that we have reached some kind of milestone, crossed this Rubicon and are in opposition with nature when our imbalance with it is revealed in some explosive way. Moreover, it is revealed to such an extent that we are not able to block it with any artificial systems.

Comment: I think we have already come to the point where nature shows us that we cannot go against it, no matter how much we defend ourselves and no matter how hard we try to do it.

My Response: Yes, but at the same time we don’t know what to do next. We do not realize that, in principle, we ourselves cause all these imbalances.

Question: Why is it that young people organize various kinds of demonstrations in different countries around the world? Is there a reason for this?

Answer: This is a sign of the time. This is time challenging the society of human civilization.

We all develop according to a given program. Specific informational data and informational genes are realized within us that cause certain formations, social, political, and technological changes. All this is interconnected.

As a result, it turns out that, whether we want it or not, we are rolling toward a certain, very special state that was predicted by Kabbalah several thousand years ago: humanity will come to realize the evil of its nature, its egoism.

Our nature itself is such that it spoils everything. Man is the only harmful creature in nature. This is the element that brings harm, error into the whole of nature. I mean error from the word “sin.”

Until humanity realizes this, it will not be able to get out of this state. But there will be a way out.

The only problem is that the way out will be gentle, conscious, with the understanding that there is another dimension, another existence, another paradigm, or there is seemingly no way out, and then we will start killing each other in rage, misunderstanding, or despair as if it would be better for anyone.

Everything develops exactly according to the dialectic predicted in Kabbalah.

Comment: A child serial killer Mary Bell was born in 1957 in England, her chilling story began after the baby’s seventeen-year-old mother, who worked as a prostitute, failed to provoke a miscarriage. The baby was an unwanted child. The mother tried to get rid of her child after birth as well, but again was unsuccessful.

The child Mary was abused and become a child murderer. The press called her an “evil born monster.”

My Response: In such cases it is also necessary to take into account the human psyche. It is possible that she was mentally ill and this has not been determined.

Comment: Usually people who stand trial for a crime are examined and have to be recognized as sane.

My Response: This is also a problem because psychology is not a perfect science. A person has such switches in the brain when he suddenly becomes absolutely normal after the fact. We cannot necessarily evoke in him those same states that prompted him to commit a misconduct, and therefore we give them a different interpretation. All this is very conditional.

But the problem is really a universal one. Each of us should blame the environment that brought him up for his wrong attitude toward life. And of course, we all feel bad. We can see this from the global state of things today, for example in the way people drive on the roads without observing traffic rules or how they communicate with each other.

In general, our entire human community is arranged in such a brutal way. Each one builds himself on the suppression of the other, on power over the other. This indicates the misuse of our initial human data. It doesn’t make anyone feel good, but still we don’t find the strength to change things. The intelligent humanity does not find the strength to realize this and start acting differently.

Therefore, unwanted children will appear more and more often and this phenomenon will become widespread. It is a consequence of our growing egoism, which does not want to consider anything or anyone

Question: If today problems are not a single country’s alone but global problems of the whole world, what should the world be like? What should its government be like?

Answer: The world must realize its egoistic nature and that it can no longer remain in it. Recently, our development shows that humanity has outlived itself. The former paradigm of relating to oneself, the world, life, or the goal is over.

There is a completely new paradigm, and people demand it from within themselves. Depression, suicide, drug abuse, detachment, indifference to life—all suggest that we have reached a different state. We have to find what to live for.

Here the science of Kabbalah is revealed, whose origins come from ancient Babylon when we were one small humanity. It was then that it was revealed for the first time and we were warned: “Five thousand years later, you will still come to the same state and feel the need for Me.”

Kabbalistic methodology can raise a person to another level of existence, pull him out of egoism in which he feels limitations, temporality, lowliness of the world, life and death. We can ascend to another level—an eternal and perfect life.

Question: What does it mean to look at the world through the eyes of the ten?

Answer: To look at the world through the eyes of the ten means that I see in everything only the revelation of the Creator in relation to people who want to connect with each other in order to reach Him, to rise to Him, and to be connected with Him.

By acting in this way, we connect and arrange ourselves parallel to the Creator or against Him, and then we can feel His reflection within us, His attitude toward us. This is the revelation of the Creator to the created beings.

Together, all ten people, we tune into the Creator, to this wave, to this force, like pendulums that begin to swing in unison.

Question: Is it possible to explain this law of the Creator from the point of view of physics?

Answer: Of course. It is a common force that operates throughout the universe. By its gradual influence, first of all on us, on people, it wants to bring all creations—inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human—to one single image, that is, to connection with each other so that everyone complements everyone else.

Question: Is it possible to assume that proceeding from the law “the particular and the general are equal,” it is enough to unite into tens in order to reveal the upper force?

Answer: Yes, a ten is enough. Even two people are enough. When two people mutually desire to rise above their egoism, unite with each other in order to adhere to the Creator, and do everything clearly and correctly, although it is very difficult, they can achieve their goal.

If people unite in a ten, then it is much easier for them to unite with a hundred people, with a thousand, and so on. At the same time, the sensation of the revelation of the Creator also becomes much stronger.

Question: A person consists of billions of different molecules and atoms, but looking at him, I see a whole body. Is it the same with the Creator? Does he see ten as the smallest cell? Or does He see us separately?

Answer: The Creator sees everyone. But in order for us to interact with Him, we need to be like Him. We achieve similarity if at least two people unite with each other, i.e., when each annuls his egoism and connects with the other. However, it is easier and more correct to do it in the ten.

Question: Any meal, even one with meat, is not considered a meal without bread. Why is bread so important?

Answer: Bread is the basis of food, the basis of a man. A man became a man when he began to cultivate the land and subdue nature.

He stopped going out into the forest to gather some roots or fruit or to hunt some animal for dinner. He began to settle on the land. This was not accidental. He had a surplus of his labor. He began to exchange it for something else, and thus specialization appeared.

Bread represents the basis of food. For the first time, wheat was bred and cultivated in Israel.

In Babylon, people mostly ate barley bread, onions, garlic, and dried fish, and drank water. But when they settled in Israel, they began to breed cattle, raise cows, sheep, and chickens, and tame horses, dogs, and donkeys.

Before the ruin of the Temple there were many forests here and very fertile land. It is fertile even now; you just give it water, and everything will grow. We see how everything grows and we do not know what to do with the surplus.

Since then, bread is the basis of food all over the world. A person is arranged so that bread is the most satisfying, acceptable and, most importantly, convenient food for him, which is not perishable like meat. Grain and flour can be stored for a long time, and this is very convenient and important.

Question: Why is it on bread that we make a blessing?

Answer: That is precisely why.

From the point of view of Kabbalah, bread represents the quality of Bina, which is bestowal and faith. The quality of Bina is what the land gives. The animal gives milk, the trees give fruit, and the land gives bread. There is a special blessing for all this.

Land is a receiving quality. It attracts, absorbs and digests everything in itself. When it is connected with water, and you place some part of life into it, the germ of life, a grain, it is able to influence it so that everything grows out of it, that is, the quality of Bina develops.
