Question: Why did they call the Jews “rootless cosmopolitans” in Russia?

Answer: Because in principle, this is exactly so! The Jews have an unconscious sense of “suspicion” in this world; there is no place in this world that they feel as their place because their “place” is in the spiritual world, meaning in the feeling of spirituality, the feeling of the Creator.

And while they haven’t achieved this, they feel insecure on the earth, the usual basis for all other peoples, the Earth, and suspended in the air; they don’t feel grounded. And they have no land, the existence of their country will be agreed to only if the Jews become a people. And for this, they must achieve unity, the awareness of interdependence, mutual responsibility, and love.

Question: I have such a boss that I don’t have enough strength to justify the actions of the Creator according to the principle, “There is none else beside Him” (Deuteronomy 4:35). I get angry at this “puppet” that is being managed by the Creator. What should I do?

Answer: Does this mean that you don’t identify your boss with the Creator? But you imagine that the Creator is in the boss and He is bothering you from there. What is He doing that for? In order to bring up in you certain characteristics that are close to spiritual properties.

Question: And if I am happy to go to work, then it wouldn’t be considered work?

Answer: Neither this nor that is considered spiritual work. Spiritual work is overcoming an egoistic desire with the help of the Upper Light.

Question: What is the law of development of nature? How is it formulated?

Answer: The law of development of nature says that all parts of nature must be assembled into one integral adhesion.

Question: What is one soul?

Answer: One soul refers to the fact that we are all parts of one desire, which according to its volume and its power resembles the Creator. Initially we are in an egoistic state, which means that we want everything only for ourselves.

We all have to correct ourselves so that we will want everything with the intention of in order to bestow. To whom? If the desire is one and we are all part of one desire, we have to bestow unto the Creator.

When we give and bestow unto the Creator, the Creator gives and bestows unto us, and we become partners and connect in mutual bestowal to each other which is called Dvekut (adhesion).

This is actually the state that we have to attain. This is the reason that all of mankind, being parts of one soul, need to help each other to reveal it, attain it, and reach the state of eternity, wholeness, and infinity, just like our Creator.

Question: How is it possible to control thoughts? Why do unpleasant thoughts appear?

Answer: Unpleasant thoughts intentionally appear within us so that we can easily move forward.

We have a small desire to receive on the animal level, a desire to feel comfortable at every moment in our lives. When unpleasant thoughts take us over, we want to be freed from them very much, and we do everything possible for this to happen.

The Creator, who sends us these types of thoughts, can manage our movement this way and move us forward.

If we shape the right thoughts within us – and what motivates us is yearning for the Creator through the group, through union, through love of friends – then there will not be any need to send us negative thoughts from above, and we move forward comfortably.

In a manner like this, we can supervise ourselves and constantly advance with the help of friends, study, and the like. That is how we move faster and faster, for speed is unlimited. Everything depends on us.

Question: Can the state educate a person with the spirit of nationalist patriotism, of the type in North Korea? What are its implications? Is the concept not a catalyst for the beginning of world wars?

Answer: Certainly, national patriotism or any other type of patriotism is contrary to the mutual convergence between all people and nations, and therefore constitutes a negative movement.

The world is in a state where it cannot welcome narrow-minded patriotism any more. Humanity is moving toward general unity not because that is what it wants, but because that is how the forces of nature are developing it. Opposing this is like shooting ourselves in the foot.

Let’s not engage in narrow patriotism; we will only suffer from it. We see that everyone who goes around arrogantly with their noses in the air ultimately will be bound by various restrictions, and no one will want to connect with him.

Therefore, we must accept a priori that our great world is integral. It is a “small village” in which everything is interconnected. There is no place for narrow-minded individualism because a person cannot do well for himself at the expense of others and vice versa, because it will act like a boomerang against him. We have seen this, and more than once, throughout the 20^th century.

Question: Is a person responsible for his thoughts?

Answer: A person is not responsible for anything. If he acts only according to the fact that everything comes from the Creator and he is under His full control, then the Creator is responsible for everything.

But to the extent that a person attributes these thoughts to himself, he is responsible for them.

A person himself determines what he is responsible for and what he isn’t. If you claim that “there is none else beside Him,” based on your inner state, then everything really comes from the Creator. But this is your perspective of life, so you act accordingly.

Question: Is it possible to say that bad thoughts are harmful to a person, while good ones are beneficial?

Answer: I would not say that. We do not know what is bad, and what is good.
