Question: What is the correct name for the field around us: the information field or the field of consciousness? There is a lot of confusion here. Some scientists talk about the field of consciousness, obviously referring to the same thing, and some about the field of information.

Answer: It depends on the level at which we view the information. It can be physical, scientific, material, spiritual, or sensory. What kind of framework we prepare for it—here lays the problem.

We put information in some objects, attach it to some actions, and then we get the corresponding results. And the information itself does not mean anything. This is not even a set of data, but, as they say in Kabbalah, a record, a Reshimo.

When this information record enters a certain spiritual object and creates some new conditions in it, then we can already talk about the quality of this information. As it is, it is just a record.

Question: So when this information interacts with us through the Reshimo and we begin to feel it, to structure it, then it becomes information?

Answer: Reshimo and information are the same thing. Information that is embedded in us is called Reshimo. “Roshem” is from the word “record.”

The main thing is to implement this record to put myself in a specific state, or to determine what affected us, what information I received.

I cannot say anything from the record of the information. I have to realize it in myself, then I turn into the object of this information, it works in me, makes me into what is written in it.

And when I become the test object, the end result of this information record, then we can say what it carried in itself. That’s how it works.

Question: It is important for a woman to have something of her own. And a man no longer tolerates any framework. Why?

Answer: A woman also goes beyond her boundaries. Previously, the main thing for her was the house, family, children, and a husband. She did not even have to leave the house.

Question: Is it possible that the environment forced her to do this?

Answer: No, no one forced her to do anything. This is truly so. If a woman has children, and everything is normal in the family, then this is the right existence for her.

Today, she does not receive any fulfillment from her children, her husband, or her family. A person still has to exist for something, one must receive pleasure. Therefore, a woman, not feeling fulfilled, goes out into the outside world, I would say, from despair, from not getting satisfaction in the family.

Comment: Studies say that married women have a very unstable psyche. They are forced to constantly consult a psychologist.

My Response: This is terrible. A woman is created for a family and children. This has always been the case, especially in the Jewish community where they took care that no girl was left without a groom, so that the couple always had at least some living wage. This is actually commanded to us.

The duty of society is not to leave a woman alone, but to create for her the environment for which she was created by nature. Therefore, a very important social function was matchmaking, guardianship, and care for young couples. Society did not leave it on the parents’ shoulders only.

Matchmaking is not just an interesting profession, but a solution to a very wide range of social problems. This institution of care has been going on since ancient times, it is already thousands of years old. It is based on very serious motives—not to leave a single person without him being inside his properly built family, within which he should exist.

Question: Can a scientist understand what changing human nature means without participating in this experience himself?

Answer: Of course. This is very easy to understand.

In nature, there is egoism, and there is a force that can change it to its opposite to altruism. We just need to know how to attract this force to correct us. This is achieved by specific work in small groups where we annul ourselves before the others, purely mechanically, as if in a game.

But can we, egoists, annul ourselves? We can. By making such efforts, we attract the positive force of nature.

Nature consists of two forces, positive and negative, plus and minus. Today, we are controlled only by the negative force. And we can attract the positive one with our own efforts. Then, while existing between both forces and balancing nature, we will begin to understand it and control it ourselves.

Comment: In our world, we deal with ordinary corporeal sciences. From the point of view of Kabbalah,  does the phenomenon of consciousness require that we somehow try to change the habitual perception of the world, which is completely attached to materialism or mysticism.

My Response: Mysticism is out of question here. There are fields that today we cannot measure. We only guess about their existence in the same way we do about some cosmic actions.

We cannot feel everything with our hands. Although modern science is far from medieval, it is already the science of the 21st century, but still, it is necessary to introduce some concepts about the fact that we exist inside a field and feel it.

Since we consist of a certain structure, this field, acting on us, causes certain sensations in us, and we perceive them as the world around us and we exist in it. Inside each person, there is a kind of sensor that feels that it exists in a certain world, inside a certain field.

We will not be able to organize a good society by debating “who is right and who is wrong.” The one who’s right is the one who wishes to unite with those who are against him. We thereby give the Creator a place for revelation and management.
We have just one head of government—”above.”

In the network of forces between us, in opposition to one another and, at the same time, by rising above the rejection, we reveal the upper force. Only when we are united above all the differences does the upper force become revealed and rules over us.

The Creator created us opposite—we all live in #hatred and rejection from each other. But we should not take the breakage into account. On the contrary, “Love will cover all sins.” No matter how many sins we reveal, we must reveal love above them.

My new article on Linkedin “What Really Makes Life Precious”

Recently, many analyses have surfaced showing the excess mortality that Covid-19 has wrought. Even with the existence of vaccines, the virus is still spreading and in many countries, claims hundreds, and even thousands of lives each day. This grim reality has prompted some students to ask me about the meaning of life and death.

If we want to give our lives meaning, we should spend it connecting to other people—not in order to use them, but in order to care about them. This is what makes life precious.

Indeed, we treat life as something very important, and for a good reason, but on condition that we act on this reason. If we go through our lives just passing the time, then all we get out of it is the few ounces of pain we have collected. However, if we use it to make the most of the opportunity we have received to approach, or even achieve the spiritual realm of life, namely to connect with other people to the point where we feel them in our hearts, then life is precious.

Inherently, we feel that we do not owe anything to anyone and should only please ourselves. However, we do not realize that this is just our starting point in life. If we end life at the same point where we started, then we have wasted our chance to make progress. From thinking of nothing but ourselves, we should spend our lives trying to extend ourselves and connect to others, to develop care for others. By doing so, we become similar to the connectivity that permeates all of nature and our consciousness expands proportionally.

A newborn baby doesn’t know anything of its environment except for the existence of its own mother, and even that awareness only pertains to the sides of her that relate to the baby. As the baby grows, it begins to realize that there are other things and people around, and begins to communicate with them.

The same process should happen internally. We should evolve from knowing and feeling only ourselves to knowing and feeling our whole environment—people, animals, and objects. This can happen only if we care about them. If we only seek to use them to please ourselves, we will know about them as much as the newly born knows about its mother. What a shame it is to die without having learned more about the reality we live in.

If we want to give our lives meaning, we should spend it connecting to other people—not in order to use them, but in order to care about them. This is what makes life precious.

My new article on Linkedin “ To the Left, to the Right, but Always Forward ”

We’ve had Nazism and we’ve had Communism; we’ve had Socialism and we’ve had Capitalism. We’ve had Autocracy, we’ve had Democracy, we’ve had monarchies, and we’ve had republics. Life consists of opposites: left, right, sun, moon, hot, cold, winter, summer, hate, love, joy, and sadness. Without one, there would not be the other; without either, there would not be existence. But if we exist, it means we have both.

Life is not static; it is ever evolving, ever moving forward. Layer upon layer, life develops. When a new layer appears, its two opposites manifest, fight each other for a while, and eventually recognize that neither can exist without the other, so they form a bond. Subsequently, that bond becomes the basis for the onset of the next layer in line.

Life is not static; it is ever evolving, ever moving forward. Layer upon layer, life develops. When a new layer appears, its two opposites manifest, fight each other for a while, and eventually recognize that neither can exist without the other, so they form a bond. Subsequently, that bond becomes the basis for the onset of the next layer in line.

When the physical layers of evolution are all present, a subtler set of layers of opposites begins to emerge. This is the realm of humans. On the human level, the layers are not physical but intellectual, emotional, ideological, and spiritual. However, the same rule always applies; there is none other. Ideologies, schools, and practices always come in pairs of opposites. At times they manifest concurrently and at other times alternately, but if there is one, there is, was, or will be the other.

Now, war and peace are a unique pair of opposites. They have no specific spot in the evolution of reality. Instead, they manifest at each and every layer. War represents the initial stages of the layer, when the sides disagree with each other’s existence, and peace represents the stage where they accept, and finally welcome and support one another. When both sides understand that the other is indispensable, they change their attitude to their former adversary, which then becomes tolerated, accepted, and welcome, until the two sides form a bond. The bond, in turn, becomes the basis for the emergence of the next layer where the process reoccurs.

The Hebrew word for “peace,” by the way, is shalom. Shalom does not mean absence of war, but rather stems from the words “hashlama” [acceptance or complementation] and “shlemut” [wholeness]. Therefore, the initial stage of every new layer in reality is war, namely a struggle for dominance, and it is completed with the establishment of peace, which marks the acceptance of the interdependence between the parties and the subsequent bond they establish.

Every sports team and army unit knows the importance of the bond among its members. The bond they establish is often the difference between victory and defeat, between life and death. To a society, establishing peace, namely mutually accepting the contradictions and opposites within, and forming a bond between them, is just as significant, if not more. Working in this way synchronizes such a society with the rest of nature, with the “engine” of reality.

Currently, people fight each other to death until they’re exhausted and reluctantly accept the existence of the other party. Is it any wonder that life seems like a sequence of torments? Think what life would be like if we were aware of the mechanism of emergence and eventual bonding of opposites. Our lives would not only advance and develop infinitely faster and completely painlessly, but every moment would be a celebration. We would not experience oppositeness as dissention, but as a springboard, like a trampoline, where the lower you sink in moments of struggle, the higher you jump at the times of peace. Is there any child who doesn’t like bouncing on a trampoline? And once we are at the peak of the jump, we will anticipate and welcome the next descent, knowing it will lead to yet another jump, even higher than before.

It turns out that the difference between a morose and dejected society, and one that is jovial and lively, is only the awareness and understanding of the progress of development. The more people understand how reality works, the more they will view life from a positive and constructive perspective, and the happier they will be. If you want to see your loved ones happy, if you want to live in a cohesive society where people seek to bond, forward these words; let them know about the principle of making peace, the principle of complementing opposites that leads all of reality to the left, to the right, but always forward.

My new article on Linkedin “Politics of the Obstinate”

After a fourth election in less than two years, Israel has become the world’s laughing stock. But for the State of Israel, it isn’t funny. The country is paralyzed in many respects, from offices that require ministers, to large projects that are stuck due to indecision, through Covid vaccines that must be bought. Indeed, this is the nature of the Jews: an obstinate people. Nevertheless, if we use our obstinacy correctly, we will turn it into resolve to unite above our differences, which in turn will lift us to unimaginable achievements.

Today, when Israel is engulfed in perpetual political frays that begin to resemble those of our forefathers, we should realize that it is a calling to employ the same method that they used—to realize that differences are not reasons to break up, but to strengthen our unity. We will have no relief from internal enmity until we realize that we cannot defeat one another since the war is not meant to be won, but to yield cohesion.

There is a reason why the Jewish people are so obstinate. They are descendants of people who would not relinquish their views and tried everything they could to crown their opinion over the people of Israel. Having exhausted themselves trying, they finally realized that the flaw was not in their own view or in the opposite view, but in their own nature, which sought dominion and separation instead of collaboration and union. They realized that life can be complete only when there are two sides that complement one another, so the other view is actually a complementary perception and not an opposite.

This realization of the ancient Hebrews created a unique nation whose bond was not biological but rather ideological and spiritual. Even more important, their union marked a way for all of humanity to unite despite biological, ethnic, cultural, religious, and racial differences. Once the Hebrews chose union over separation, every dispute became a reason for strengthening their bond rather than for shredding the nation. Moreover, since the original Jews came from the Fertile Crescent, the cradle of most of today’s nations, the bond they had formed became a proof that peace among all nations is possible, and that there is even a method for achieving it.

Today, when Israel is engulfed in perpetual political frays that begin to resemble those of our forefathers, we should realize that it is a calling to employ the same method that they used—to realize that differences are not reasons to break up, but to strengthen our unity. We will have no relief from internal enmity until we realize that we cannot defeat one another since the war is not meant to be won, but to yield cohesion.

When we finally realize this and achieve union, the world, which now derides us, will look in awe at the miracle of the Jewish state. It will want to emulate our method. This will mark the final victory of peace—which comes from the Hebrew word “complementation”—over war. The politics of the obstinate, therefore, should not be about being more obstinate than the other, but about rising together above intransigence and forming a genuine bond.
