Punishment Or Correction?

580.01Question: From your point of view for what offense should a person be subjected to the death penalty?

Answer: For the premeditated murder of an innocent person. This is what the Torah says, and I agree with that. Such misconduct is of course a big problem.

Question: And if the killer repented?

Answer: There are a lot of all sorts of “buts” here that relate to the clarification of connections between souls, and therefore I cannot talk about it.

Question: In the future might there be such professionals who, depending on their properties, will be able to choose a punishment for them?

Answer: There is no punishment at all in nature. There is a fix. The legal system, labor camps, and prisons are all called the correctional system. This is not a punishment system, but a correction system. Therefore, we must reform it so that it is exactly like that.

How Can An Individual Soul Influence All The Souls?

283.02Question: How can I, as an individual soul, influence all the souls?

Answer: Since we are in a single closed system, you affect everyone else through your ascents and descents.

Question: And how do I increase the power of my impact?

Answer: You develop your vessel, its capacity, by caring about others, which enables your entrance to the general system, and then you attain more.

The more you care about others, the more you attain the one common vessel and perfect eternal life.

The Dependence Of The Individual Soul On The General Soul

571.02Question: What are the limitations on the individual soul as part of the general soul, and how is its dependence on the general soul expressed?

Answer: An individual soul develops only to the volume that is necessary for its restoration in the general soul. If we take an individual soul, female or male, we will see that the phases of its development always take place in the general picture of the soul of Adam and not in any other way.

Can The Souls Give Birth To Each Other?

232.08Question: Can souls give birth to each other?

Answer: No. Human beings don’t give birth to each other either; it only seems that way to us. We don’t generate anything new, except for the condition of the appearance of a new image in our world.

This means that the forces already exist and they are ready to develop, so the development of a new body seemingly takes place through an individual, a certain person, male and female, but it is predetermined.

Question: Is a new third desire born when two desires unite in spirituality?

Answer: It is new in the connection between them and in their connection with the upper, as it says, “a man and a woman, Shechina is between them,” which means the appearance of the Creator. It is the force of the Creator that prompts the male and female individuals (spiritual forces) to be internally connected, determines their next phase of development, and what will generate from them.

Life After Death

538Question: If a person knew their day of death, would they be able to live their life any better?

Answer: It depends on the person. They say that Wolf Messing knew the day and the hour of his death and was at peace with it. Others are afraid of it. And there are people who believe so much in the continuation of life that, on the contrary, they consider death desirable.

Question: Do I need to prepare for death every day?

Answer: No. We must prepare for life after death in order to continue our existence in the right way and in the same direction.

Question: Can a person be raised not to fear death?

Answer: Sure. First, all religions do this. Try to stop a suicide-bomber who voluntarily chooses to die. He will be angry with you for not allowing him to go to paradise where beautiful virgins await him.

Question: But there are very few such examples. Most people, even religious ones, are afraid of death.

Answer: One should not be afraid of death. He should fear not wasting his life.

Question: What is the correct attitude to death, in your opinion?

Answer: As the biological cycle of a person comes to an end, he enters a different state, practically continuing the spiritual work that he may have started while living.

Blitz Of Kabbalah Tips – 5/15/20

284Question: Why is someone else’s death so attractive to people? We see that when an accident occurs, many onlookers gather around. Why is this so interesting?

Answer: It is pure phycology. Something unknown, complicated, something that concerns everyone happens, and this is the reason it is so attractive.

Question: Can it be considered weakness if a person thinks about death or is afraid of it?

Answer: No. This is a natural state of man.

Question: What is your attitude regarding suicide?

Answer: Negative. I don’t understand people who do such things.

Question: Do you believe that medicine will be able to prevent death in the future?

Answer: No, never.

Question: What kind of death is ideal in your opinion?

Answer: When a person fully corrects himself, even in the last moment of his life.

Question: Is there life after the death of the physical body?

Answer: Of course. It is a different form of existence.

Question: Do you believe that the origin of life is from outer space?

Answer: No. I don’t think there is life in outer space.

Question: Can a person live several hundred years in the biological body?

Answer: Yes, he can, but what for?

Question: Is cremation permissible, in your opinion?

Answer: This is a personal matter. In principle, from the perspective of man’s spiritual development, what happens with the corporeal body after death is totally unimportant.

My Body And I

742.03Question: I find it hard to stop identifying myself with my five corporeal senses. How should I expand myself?

Answer: You have to look at your body from aside, like a beast. Your self is something that is not in the body at all. The body dies, whereas the self remains.

But I want to connect with myself before the body dies, to be inside it, and then I will not care what happens to my body.

Children And Questions About Death

570Question: How do you advise answering children’s questions about death? At what age can you talk to children about such topics? Should I take my child to a funeral?

Answer: I would not advise talking with children about death and taking them to a cemetery until they are 15 years old.

Question: And if they themselves ask such questions? They say that at the age of 10 or 11 they already begin to take interest in this.

Answer: Naturally. But I would not recommend it. Better to distract them from it. The child should not overload his psyche with such things. Let him study.

751.1Maintain Homeostasis with Nature

Question: Why is it not enough just to be in harmony with nature and society and thereby ensure good health? Why do you still need to take care of your body, lead a healthy lifestyle, eat right, and so on?

Answer: Naturally you need that. Who will support your physiological system if not you? You are a biological machine! Therefore, you must maintain biological homeostasis with nature.

Question: Yes, but my physical body is a consequence of my desires, thoughts, and psyche. Is this related?

Answer: So work on your desires and psyche so that you automatically have the right relationship with the surrounding nature to keep you in balance with it.

Question: And then I will achieve harmony at the level of the psyche?

Answer: To do this you must perceive the world around you as a global system with which you have absolute communication.

Question: Then you no longer need to engage in the body and do physical exercises?

Answer: You will perform certain exercises, take this or that form of life, based on your properties.

Have Time To Correct Ourselves

552.02Question: Would you invest money in the development of a vaccine against death?

Answer: No. On the contrary, I believe that death is a blessing. What good is there in this life? Here, a person goes through a certain stage of his development and corrects his soul within a certain framework. And that’s it, this is enough.

I believe that whatever nature, the Creator, does to us is the absolute good, the absolute truth, and there is no need to change anything.

Question: How long do you think a person should live?

Answer: Just enough to correct oneself. Not a minute more. It is, however, desirable to make it.

Question: What would you like to wish for people in their life?

Answer: “If death—let it be instant, if a wound—let it be a small one.”? What can you wish for a person? To think about how happy he is because now he has the opportunity to learn that there is a wisdom that speaks about his purpose, about life and death in such a way that he can rise above this, attain this, draw the most correct conclusions and come to a perfect result.
