Question: Will the Creator continue to play with me and test me until the end of my life?

Answer: Until the end of this life and also in the next lives, until you fully reveal that He is the only one who exists.

Question: How long should I wait for this?

Answer: Until you determine in all the parts of your soul, in every cell of your soul, that everything stems from the Creator and that He is the only one who manages creation. This is how the whole correction of the soul is expressed.

Question: If I manage to reach the Creator’s level, will I see that all the other people are good?

Answer: Not yet. You will feel that only in a state of absolute correction when not only you, but also all the others, which you feel as existing outside of yourself, attain the Creator as “there is none else besides Him.”

Question: What is the reason that people have lost touch with each other, are afraid to unite into families, and can’t find a partner?

Answer: Egoism. There is no other force that counteracts all our supposedly good intentions and impulses. It is only our ego that makes us want more than others, in spite of others, against others. We can’t do anything about it. Fighting it is useless.

Therefore we need to know how to receive the upper force to balance the ego. This is the method of rising above egoism, which allows you to use it for the benefit of yourself and others in order to reach the level of the Creator.

Our entire evolution is the growth of egoism in us. For thousands of years, every day, egoism in humanity has been increasing more and more.

The science of Kabbalah explains how we can apply it correctly. In this we are helped by the innermost, most powerful upper force that controls everything and teaches us how to see,  evaluate, connect with everything, and use the egoistic power correctly. By acting this way, we basically change our fate.

Question: Our egoism, in fact, grows with evolution?

Answer: Of course! It is the growth of egoism that determines evolution.

Question: Where does this lead us?

Answer: Either to destruction or to the correct use of egoism.

Question: How can we make sure that this does not lead to our destruction?

Answer: Everything is already laid down in the program of nature. In the end, we will not die and will not disappear. At the last minute, our egoism will turn into the opposite of itself. It will see, feel—but this is at the very last stage—that if it does not take this step, it will perish. This will egotistically lead it to the opposite action, to a contradiction with itself.

The new generation is being built not on hatred for the past, but on the understanding of the necessity to be in accord with nature. Otherwise suffering will compel us to rectify the defective society we’ve built. To scrutinize and to build, as Kabbalah suggests, is not to break!
But to build in accordance with nature’s laws.

The world is insistently demanding a global social equalization. This demand is growing in the face of increasing inequality. None of the former theories of social inequality are valid today. We must understand that only by a gradual liberation from the bonds of our natural ego will the world’s society come to peace.

Question: A month ago, in our conversation about the pandemic, we hoped that everything wouldn’t be so scary. You said that the coronavirus is like a sign to humanity to come to the right interactions.

And now the result for today: If a month ago there were 2 million cases in the world, today—8.3 million. [14.7 million] If the dead were 135,000 , today it is 450,000 [610,000].

In America, the number of deaths exceeded the number of deaths from the 1957 pandemic. Then it lasted two years and 116,000 people died, and today in America over the past two months, 120,000 people have died. This is more than the number of Americans that perished in the First World War, and more than perished in all US wars since 1950: Korean, Vietnamese, Afghan, and all other conflicts combined.

However, no unity is visible. Of course, there are some cases of generosity. America suddenly began to give other countries mechanical ventilators. China claims that once it makes the vaccine, it will provide the whole world with it. But it all smells slightly of egoism, an attempt to prove who is better.

What do you think about this?

Answer: So far, the suffering that humanity is experiencing has led to nothing. People are just waiting for it to end in order to return to their businesses, to lose as little as possible, and maybe even make money on it.

Such an attitude automatically continues to work in us, so I believe that the virus should continue to work on humanity, and very seriously.

Humanity is thinking about how to save old businesses by giving out money for occupations that in the future will be completely inoperative.

Governments do not understand that the time has come to think only about the essentials and to leave everything else to self-education, self-discipline, the restructuring of society. They hope to revive boutiques, jewelry stores, and expensive cars, etc. In short, society is still living by its past values.

Therefore, I do not even see the beginning of this pandemic. Several hundred thousand people have died. For the world, this is not a loss at all. A certain number of people suffer, and the rich profit and are happy with it. So, everything is relative.

Question: The need for social connections is given to us from birth. Anyone’s brain will react to social isolation as to physical pain. People who are isolated are more likely to die from various diseases.

Good social connections bring more satisfaction than money. Experiments have shown that trust at work between employees is equal to the enjoyment of a 30% pay rise. In other words, cooperation produces more results than competition.

There is a paradox: We understand the importance of social connections, but we do not care about its development at the level of the individual or a country. In no country is there a national program about rapprochement between people, about the establishment of sensory social connections, there is no explanation of how much they affect our physiology. What is that?

Answer: It is the same egoism. Perhaps we would like to, but at the same time there is a so-called “evil nature” in us, meaning egoism, that does not let us treat each other positively. On the contrary, it puts us in opposition to each other and forces us to be in a constant fight.

In our nature, there is initial data that we cannot just bypass despite the fact that good relations in society could bring it huge profits, dividends, and give an incomparably greater level of development and security. Imagine if we treated each other as one family and freed our resources and forces from the arms race, we would live in a paradise!

Question: And maybe none of this is necessary because it is against nature? We should live by egoistic laws, the laws of the jungle?

Answer: We are now living by egoistic laws. But we can’t live by the laws of the jungle, or we will kill each other. Therefore, there are certain regulations on where and how we can allow the use of strength. These are criminal codes and all sorts of other frameworks in which we try to co-exist.

But in general, humanity is unhappy. Today we are reaching the conclusion that we cannot escape from our connection. It is necessary, important, and increasingly demanded by nature to be global, integral, and mutual. On the other hand, egoism does not let us do it.

Question: But you always say, we must live according to the laws of nature. And in nature everything is based on natural egoism, and each devours the other. Is this how we should be? We are an extension of nature.

Answer: No. What happens in nature is a reflection of human society where everyone devours each other.

The fact is that the higher level of nature affects its lower levels. Therefore, a human society built on egoism has the same effect on lower levels. Because of this, the wolf cannot live next to the sheep, and the little boy cannot walk with them.

Everything depends only on the relationship in human society. If we change, all of nature will change.

Question: During this pandemic period, what do we need to concentrate on? What specific information is most important?

Answer: The common, integral, upper power wants to lead humanity to its similarity for it also to become integral, interconnected, and interdependent. This condition can be achieved in a good way or by force.

Let’s hope that we will go forward in a good way even though until now we have not been successful. Our egoism blocks us from uniting into a common integral dependence. This is why we suffer: various viruses and all kinds of problems appear. If we do not strive for integration, we will have a lot of different sequential problems.

Question: What can we do if we are managed, and how can we hear ourselves? How can we not lose our personal way?

Answer: For this, one must study both himself and the science of Kabbalah.

By studying yourself, you study the forces that affect you and you begin to understand how you need to be in the right combination between yourself and the external force.

There are two forces in the universe: yours, which is egoistic and the external, which is altruistic. And all of humanity is between you and the altruistic force. You are learning how to juxtapose yourself with humanity in order to be as close as possible to the upper power and become similar to it.

Question: How do you understand the definition that man is an egoistic social animal?

Answer: Egoism is given to us by nature, and in order to realize the ego, a person needs society. Therefore, he is a social creature.

Question: There were cases when a child was raised by a pack of wolves or other animals and later could not return to life in society and become a full-fledged person. What is special about our environment that makes us human?

Answer: In the human environment, from generation to generation, we develop new laws of commutation and begin to transform ourselves so that we become a product of society.

Since this is an artificial product of our condition, animals cannot enter our community. They can live next to us and somehow understand their place, feeling by their small egoistic level what is beneficial for them and what is not.

However, a person who is accustomed to perceive the environment as an animal community because he was born or raised among animals loses the ability to adapt to human society. Therefore, he must be brought up by people.

Instincts derived from nature cannot make up for contact with the social environment into which he later falls. No matter who he may be by himself, if he did not develop social contacts literally from birth, feeling his mother, family, and so on, then he will not be able to compensate for them fully.

Question: How can I determine the cause of my illness?

Answer: Naturally, there is nothing that would be in us without a definite reason. So look for a reason. It is almost always in your bad relationship with others. Correct them and you will see how much easier it gets, how much you will be healed.

Question: So is it possible to get out of the state of pain?

Answer: Yes. Throw yourself into connection with others and stop feeling your own pain. Do this exercise and see that it is possible.

Question: How important is it to realize and feel the cause and the highest source of pain?

Answer: As much as it is important for you to be corrected. It is natural. But for a person who is moving forward correctly, everything turns out optimally. Kabbalah teaches us how to optimally use all the forces of nature.
