Question: If I know that I will eventually reveal the Creator’s open governance, how can I use this knowledge without egoism? I believe that sooner or later I will attain the Creator and it seems that I can already apply my future state now.

Answer: How can you apply it?

Comment: Through faith that I will reveal the Creator.

My Response: You do not yet have the quality of faith. You simply think that someday in the future you will attain it. Whether you attain it now or another time is unknown.

Therefore, focus on further advancement together with the group of friends toward the revelation of the Creator through ever-greater unity. Everything depends on the strength of your connection.

Question: It is difficult to accept that there is only one meaning of life that is common to everyone. Doesn’t each person search for their own meaning?

Answer: It turns out that every day every person is searching for a new meaning, that is, something to derive pleasure from today. But the true meaning of life cannot be temporary: If the meaning has dried up, then there is no meaning. My life will end someday, and even if I cared about others, their lives are not eternal either.

The meaning of life can only be eternal. And if that does not exist and it is limited by the time span of our lives, then we are left with either confusing ourselves by finding an imaginary meaning in some hobbies or not searching for meaning at all, but simply living in the present moment.

Question: When does a person come to the necessity to find the eternal meaning of life?

Answer: It depends on the inner development and the measure of suffering. A person must suffer from the fact that his life passes without meaning. His life can be very prosperous, simply royal, where he lacks nothing but one thing: “But what am I living for?” He may have everything in this world, but it does not fulfill him. It depends on the inner needs of a person.

If we do not fill ourselves with the eternal, true meaning of life, then this is life on the bodily level until this body dies. But if we want to rise to the true meaning, we must always be connected with the goal that answers this question. We need to connect with the upper force of nature that governs the entire universe. Having reached it, we will reveal the meaning of life.

From the connection with an upper force, a person begins to understand that it created everything for a special purpose. And if a person connected with a goal touches some root in this world, then he knows how to use it correctly to give meaning to his actions. He will be able to use every detail of this world correctly in order to connect with the higher meaning through it.

In this way, he sanctifies this entire world and returns it to the upper root from which this world once expanded. It turns out that he learns to use this world correctly. Although these actions are not noticeable from the outside because all depends on the intention of the person.

Question: All parents want to bring up their children so they would grow up to be good, successful, educated people. But you say that the old method of upbringing does not work and we need new tools. What is this new upbringing?

Answer: First of all, we need, not the “new” upbringing, but simply “upbringing,” because the old upbringing does not exist. Currently we do not have any upbringing; we do not form a person. Therefore we cannot call the education that currently exists in Israel and in the entire world as a system of upbringing.

We deceive ourselves by thinking that we send our children to school to give them upbringing. The school does not bring them up. In school, children gain harmful examples, and the school cares only about grades, while it is not teachers’ concern how a child will behave.

Everyone will agree that at home children usually do not receive bad examples with the rare exception of the most dysfunctional families. Where do teenagers get bad habits? It is either from the Internet or from school, meaning from an outside influence. Therefore we need to take care of external influences so they would be positive rather than negative.

School is not engaged whatsoever in children’s upbringing. We need new tools of upbringing in order to transform school into a place where a person receives upbringing and not simply a place that gives him knowledge. Then we will see how our children will change for the better and be able to connect with one another and build a better, more humane world.

They will be able to build a family and have access to any information on the Internet. We must give them more knowledge about human being, about the human body, about genders, but in a correct and open form.

At the same time as the child receives information from outside, it is necessary to add explanations so they understand why they get such desires and thoughts.

We should not shame them, but talk with them in an easy way without embarrassment, correctly and openly so the child doesn’t withdraw within himself not knowing how to control his nature. The mutual work of parents, psychologists, and specialists is required here.

Question: The department of education has all the resources: psychologists, teachers, parents’ support, and a huge budget. Why are there no good results?

Answer: Today I do not see such specialists in school who would be able to form good people from today’s generation. Where can we see the results of school’s education?

Comment: My daughter is in the 11^th grade and every day they keep her in school until 4 pm and occasionally until 6 pm. It costs the government a lot of money.

My Response: But there is no need for all of this. I need my daughter in the 11^th grade to spend half of the time she spends in school on studying how to form a person within herself, how to build her environment, her family, and how to become a person who feels good in a good world.

A school doesn’t deal with this at all. It only teaches math, physics, biology, meaning, it prepares a child for college, in other words, how to earn money. Therefore we receive such results.

Question: If I go by faith above reason and justify the Creator yet still experience suffering—is this a correct work?

Answer: If you are experiencing suffering, then is that really the correct work?

In the beginning, you agree with the Creator, intending to correct yourself according to what is written in the sources. But then it turns out to be the opposite.

I hope you understand what I mean.

Question: How does the revelation of the face of the Creator as benevolent in His governance occur? After all, everything we attain is attained in faith above reason, as if we do not want to reveal Him directly.

Answer: If a person tunes himself to truly desire to reveal the attitude of the Creator toward him, and not only toward him, then according to the pressure he applies, according to his desire, he elicits a response from the Creator.

It turns out that he turns to the Creator with a question in order to know the Creator’s attitude toward him, and he receives an answer.

Question: What is this state when you feel the whole world filled with the quality of bestowal, but you do not feel the Creator in it?

Answer: That is an incorrect state. In your world, in your perception of spirituality, the Creator Himself does not exist.

This requires serious reflection from you and a demand that He begins to engage with you, that you desire to be together with Him and to do what is pleasing to Him. Then you wait for Him to fulfill it.

Question: It is very important for a person to feel that their life has meaning. Is the meaning of life universal for everyone or must each person find their own meaning?

Answer: We all have one meaning of life: to reach the peak of human development and to attain the higher force that created us and governs us. We can draw closer to it, understand it, know it, and become its partners. The meaning of our life lies in attaining this force. According to how creation is arranged, there is no other meaning.

We did not create nature, this world, or ourselves. We exist within a system of laws without determining what will happen to us at any given moment nor our reactions. Absolutely nothing depends on us. So what remains for us within this entire system in which we are like fish caught in a net?

We are embedded in a system of forces that act in all possible forms and combinations with one another on all levels: still, vegetative, animate, and human, and in all times: past, present, and future that connect me with all generations that were, are, and will be. I feel like I belong to them because essentially I am one among billions throughout the many thousands of years of history.

Therefore in searching for the meaning of life, I first analyze the day I am living now, and immediately I discover that I do not understand the meaning. If only I knew the entire process that I and nature are undergoing. But how can a small person know such lofty matters?

In that case, one has to limit oneself to searching for meaning in this temporary, brief life. This means that I no longer ask about its causes and results beyond life and death, but I look only within life itself.

And this is how people live: they want to achieve success, start a family, raise good children, travel the world, become a renowned scientist or musician, etc. Each person finds meaning in what is closest to them.

Perhaps I simply want to have fun, or work only as much as necessary, and in the evening come home and watch television without getting off the couch. That too can be considered a meaning of life.

But the problem is that we do not live according to our own plans. The engine of development continuously turns and rotates us, and pushes us forward in all feelings and qualities, in intellectual, emotional, and inner development. Therefore we change, and yesterday’s meaning of life loses its meaning today. My former childhood dreams have already evaporated.

For example, my grandson at the age of three dreamed of becoming a garbage-truck driver. It seemed to him the pinnacle of happiness: to be the person who controls such a huge machine and makes such a tremendous noise. Today my grandson is ten, and of course he no longer dreams of a garbage truck.

In other words, the meaning of life constantly grows. But does a person living in this world understand what the meaning of life is, or does he or she simply, under the weight of problems, agree with what is? He is not concerned whether there is meaning or not. What matters to him or her is feeling good.

I remember asking my teacher in school about the meaning of life, and I received this answer: the meaning of life is to read a good book, to watch an interesting film…

And a friend of mine, from the age of fourteen, devoted himself to studying the French Thirty Years War. He made it the work of his life and truly became a major specialist on the subject. That is how he found his meaning of life, although later this passion faded.

So everyone finds some meaning in life—in family, in children. But if you ask people what the meaning of their everyday life is, they will not know how to answer, or they will say that the meaning of life is simply to live. If we were born, then now there is nowhere to go; we must live. But for what purpose to live, no one knows. And thus life continues without any meaning.

There is a special phenomenon in the influence of society on a person. If I face a problem together with a large society, it is divided among everyone and I do not feel that I am alone with it. If I were to fall ill with a rare and severe disease, I would be terribly anxious. But if it is an epidemic and everyone around is sick, then it is not as frightening.

The trouble is instantly shared with the entire society where I am simply one among all. Therefore, my fear is no longer the full fear of the problem itself, but it is divided among everyone else, reduced to one millionth. This happens regardless of my desire, because I am connected with others in one system. So, my relative part in the common trouble is only one millionth.

This does not mean that the trouble will not happen to me, it will happen. But the feeling of fear and threat is divided among everyone in the perception of people. To the extent that I am connected with others, I worry less about hardships.

But if joy comes, it does not decrease when shared by all. Because joy is felt together with everyone. Misfortune is felt within oneself, but joy is felt outside, between us. The benevolent force that created the entire world acts on everyone and is not divided. If joy comes, everyone rejoices in full measure.

Moreover, shared joy increases the joy of each one. For example, news comes of victory in a war. That joy is not divided by a million, leaving me with one millionth of happiness. On the contrary, it is multiplied by a million, and I feel joy a million times greater! I go out into the street, see everyone celebrating, and I am filled with happiness, completely differently than if I were alone at home.

The force of unity has a unique, wondrous quality. It divides misfortune among all, while multiplying joy and happiness among all. This follows from the very source of creation, from the fact that we emerged from the point of the Big Bang, from one single force.

Therefore, today we reveal that all of nature is one system. The closer we come to this force, the more we resemble the unified system of nature, the more we gain, and we gain greatly, instead of one millionth, we get one multiplied by a million!

If, through integral education, we learned to use this correctly, we would attain the pinnacle of happiness.
