Question: How can we establish peace in the family?

Answer: There is only one recipe for that. Each person must rise above their own egoism in order to establish peace in the family and in the home. Then, we will have the feeling of a higher existence.

A person should feel that society notices and condemns his family quarrels. Society should support a person in his effort to strengthen the family because the opinion of the environment affects a person so much so that he is incapable of going against it.

When we stop ourselves in the moment of anger, we gain something so precious that it is worth restraining oneself for. The profit is too great.

In the same way that we hold back our dissatisfaction at work in front of our boss, fearing being fired, similarly, we should contain ourselves at home. However, it will not require effort from us. We will not bottle up this anger inside, clenching our teeth and threatening to explode.

The general public opinion will support such an atmosphere so that everyone will feel how unacceptable it is to be irritated and pour one’s wrath on others. We will live differently, according to completely different laws, joyfully and calmly, like on vacation.

All arguments, competition, and screaming at the kids will stop. It even will not be necessary to talk about it. It simply will permeate the atmosphere as a generally accepted behavior, and thus will influence everyone.

Question: You are talking about some parallel universe with a completely different sense of life.

Answer: You can say that we will find ourselves in a future world where the force of love and bestowal reigns, and each will add to this force of love, yearning to preserve it.

There are many more worthwhile pursuits than scandals. People are tired of this life and dream of changing it. They do not know what to do. All that is left is divorce and escape. No way out of this dead end is in sight, and I am offering a wonderful, balanced, and easy way out.

Question: Music is a meaningful part of our lives. They say that music is a universal language that doesn’t require words. It is stronger than words and penetrates directly into the heart; it opens hearts and connects people. So what is music?

Answer: Music is a language that can express the deepest inner feelings of a person. It can excite and elevate a person, change a mood and the direction of thought.

Music can transport us from one place to another, depending on its style. According to a few sounds or chords we already feel where it comes from: is this European, Indian, or South American music?

In the United States national styles of music from all over the world became mixed together, producing a kind of musical “salad” that has spread all over the world because it is suitable for most of humanity.

Music immediately arouses memories in a person and produces special feelings in him. Words penetrate into us through the mind, and we are compelled to activate a mechanism of comparison, memory. And music, in contrast, immediately takes the emotion out of memory and awakens it within us, whether we want it or not. It penetrates into a person without asking permission.

Music connects us with the surrounding conditions in which it is heard: with time, space, movement and events; all of this is immediately awakened in our memory together with the sounds that we hear. Music is the world and everything that fills it.

All of our senses, other than sight and hearing, are very meager, as if they were undeveloped. Even though the sense of smell has very great significance; it developed in us when we were still living in the trees. When we came down from the trees and became humans, we began to be involved with all kinds of work that isn’t typical of animals and we spoiled our sense of smell.

Our sense of taste was also spoiled because we are no longer animals. There was a time when according to smell and taste we could distinguish what nourishment was appropriate for us and what wasn’t. But today we are no longer able to do this. We create many food products with tastes and smells that attract us; however, in fact, they are poison for us.

Even the sense of touch has limited possibilities and confuses us too much. We have stopped living in an environment of natural simple things that are appropriate to our nature. We create so many artificial products and phenomena that confuse our sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste so that there is nothing true in them that we can trust.

But from the great variety of sounds that we hear, music impresses us to the greatest degree. Only the crying of a baby or a siren that immediately arouses us is stronger than music.

In the News (inosmi.ru): “The popular saying that people prefer to marry someone from the surrounding area is still correct in the sense that we search for someone who will be similar to us in terms of living environment, lifestyle and social and economic environment regardless of whether this is a man or a woman.

“That is how people particularly mark a line on dating sites, generally drawn to those who have the same characteristics.

“Opposites are not attracted that much. And if we extend the logic of ‘berries from the same field,’ it follows that your ideal mate is someone who is found with you throughout your life, meaning yourself. So does it follow that a person is sentenced to solitude?”

My Comment: If you can reach a goal only together and only with full union, so you require a mate. Only the importance of attaining the ultimate goal will invite someone not due to instinctive desire but for the purposeful desire of marriage, family, and love.

Opinion (Yevgeny Novitsky): “The formation of the new American generation called the Z generation is coming to an end. These are 14-19 year-old youth who will replace the millennium generation that was born in the years 1980-2000. They don’t control advanced technologies but consume it. They are far from the laws of mechanics, physics and chemistry.

“The breach between the inventors and the users can be the main attribute that distinguishes that Z generation. The inventors will gain money and control while the users will be under the complete domination of their genius peers both socially and economically.

“Most members of the new generation have never had to cope with hunger or homelessness and they cannot solve the simplest problems. They lack the life experience one accumulates as he goes through different trials. The Z generation will grow up to be sensitive and pessimistic. Many will not be able to become independent by themselves.

“The Z members generation have no interest in history and their inability to see the link between the past and the present, to analyze things and to draw conclusions is actually scary. They perceive the concept of equality as superior to any other American value. The reason is the brainwashing in schools and colleges that the democratic party is responsible for.

“It will be easier for the government to manipulate the Z generation in America and there are technologies that are actually like drugs for them.

“The Z generation live ‘on a cloud’ at any age as a result of the coercive mass culture. They prefer true stories instead of stories about robots, vampires, zombies, superheroes and other imaginary characters.

“The most disturbing fact is that they have no goal in life and that they lack the enthusiasm and the drive to know the world. They want a leader who will pull them after him.

“It is impossible to excite today’s children. Television, the computer, video games and social networks are all starting to gradually bore them. At the same time this generation doesn’t show great interest in drugs, alcohol and smoking like the millennium generation.”

My Comment: We will soon find out that it is actually this generation that will raise the world to its upper source, to the next dimension, and it is the way it is because it wasn’t born for our world of the past!

Question: I am an education student. You say that education is the only way to correct the current situation, but education is a long process that takes years. What is more, I am trying to do something in my local environment and I see that not only does it not improve the situation but it actually make things worse. What would you recommend now in light of what is going on lately in Israel?

Answer: Our problem is that we develop in a way that we seem to be the horse chasing the cart. We advance by impulses that nature summons within us. We change and then we see how evil we become in our new state and what we can do in order to become a little better.

Thus we always try to improve yesterday’s state, never today’s state, and certainly not that of tomorrow. This is the reason that our education system is ineffective, and as you say, “education is a long process.” If we bring up our children incorrectly now, we will only see that we were wrong in 20 to 30 years. You are right, this is a problem!

Therefore, even great experts in the field of education cannot provide the educational system that is right for the generation growing up today and which will run the world in 30 years so that they will have this method and be able to use it correctly.

We cannot come up with such a method by using our own minds! After all, we have not developed to the state in which we can develop the education system nor teach it to everyone so that we will be properly educated in the future either. We don’t know where nature will lead us in 30 years, but the educational system has to be corrected now in order to fill, correct, and complement all the differences and contradictions between us, as well as all the states that will be revealed in the future. We cannot even imagine what a person, an Israeli citizen, will be like in another 30 years.

This is the reason that I understand your question. You are right that the current educational approach is unsuccessful and that it cannot be. Only a person from the future can provide us with the right method, which means someone who knows the state into which we should develop. Therefore, this person already precedes his time and provides us with an educational system so that we will be ready for the future, although we haven’t yet reached it and haven’t yet developed internally for it.

This is the reason that we need the wisdom of Kabbalah that teaches us about us and explains the whole process of our evolution, to what state we reach at any given moment in our history, and how we should unite so that we will be ready, not only today or tomorrow, but also for the day after tomorrow and always. It is because this method is eternal and ready for any and everyone. Therefore, the educational system has to stem from the true sources of the wisdom of Kabbalah. It doesn’t mean that we actually need to study this wisdom, but this system stems from it, from the deep understanding of man’s nature and his environment.

Egoistic Pulp

Question: Today, there are internal conflicts that are tearing Europe apart. How can we prevent the growth of hatred between the different sectors when we are working on union?

Answer: Integral Education will tangibly show people that there is no other way out. They are entering into a program possessing a global character to begin with, which clearly determines the future horizon—the union of the whole world.

After all, it is inevitable; the laws of nature obligate us to this. From year to year our development approaches general union more and more, in spite of the bloody attempts to stop this process, which in spite of it all is strict and continuous, no matter how much we may deny it.

What is the reason to struggle against the laws of a system that produced and developed us? I can shout at the top of my lungs that I don’t agree with it, but will this help me? The laws of nature are many times stronger than political movements, including the most extreme of them. As of today, these laws are deployed in two ways before us:

– World war using the most up to date means of mass destruction, which will be a death sentence for Europe.

– Salvation by means of balance with nature, which reveals itself as global, integral, unified, coherent, and balanced. This means that human society, and the Europeans in particular, must also achieve this.

So let’s begin. This is the choice of Europe and humanity.

Question: We are truly powerless against the laws of nature. I may disagree strongly with the aging of the body, but the body will age in spite of it all. What is the law that operates at the level of human development in general? And how does it come to be expressed today in the European Union?

Answer: According to this law, all of us will “roll” into cohesion, union, and oneness.

This is like a mixture of various fruits in a blender. At first it is still possible to distinguish between them, yet the blades continue to spin and the differences gradually disappear until a uniform “fruit pulp” is created.

And so it is possible to reach this union in a good, wonderful way, without wars, disasters and terrible spins in the “historical blender.” The general trend is that there is only one culture, the knowledge of which we are carrying. So let’s conduct connection workshops in families, in workplaces, in schools, in prisons, everywhere. Let’s teach people to connect. And since modern separation has already gone as far as it will go, let’s insert a component of requiring this common program.

However, it is important to work gradually here. Start with small groups, after that larger groups, cities, regions… gradually, every people will make an arrangement for themselves, and after that, the nations will also be able to find a common language in the context of international connection—European and global.

That is how the process operates, from small to large. Gradually we gather experience, build the required mechanisms and systems, organizing educators, teachers, guides, trainers, instructors, and other experts.

After all, in any case, nature will transform us into “pulp.” Until now this happened under very unpleasant pressure from its side, through wars, disasters, epidemics, and the like. At present, we can integrate ourselves within the general “pulp,” aware of the situation and direction of inevitable development.

Question: What is the technology for preparing this friendly “pulp” from individualists and egoists?

Answer: Education, explanation, presentation of the facts testifying that there is no other way.

Question: But what will connect between people? What will be the glue between them? After all, the blender just cuts up the ingredients.

Answer: We produce the power that connects between us through the efforts themselves, our efforts in consolidation. This force is also latent in nature; this is a global force. One only needs to activate it.

If we begin to build balance between us, taking steps towards union, then we awaken and produce the natural force of union. This force is integrated into the system; it is found in inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature, but we awaken it on our level so that it will operate among us, within us.

Question: Basically, what is this force of union?

Answer: What is it that connects the parts of the whole? What welds the parts of matter with one another? What is the force of gravity that attracts objects towards the center of the earth? We discover it according to what it does.

That is also how the power of union, the “human force of gravity” works, when we truly yearn to be consolidated. Then it will help us.

We sit together, not even with any particular desire, and we begin to converse, to discuss the ways of reaching union; we begin to do something together in this way and then gradually we truly connect, enter into a welding between us, understand more, feel each other more.

Question: Why doesn’t this force help the European Union unite?

Answer: It is because from the start the European Union didn’t place before itself the right goal. In fact, its goal was a banking and industrial union for the sake of profit.

But we are talking about a completely different kind of profit—educational, human profit, the advantage of having a single heart with the universal nature that is absolutely completely integral. Its uniting force doesn’t act by itself in every case; rather it acts only according to our efforts, intentions and goals.

Specifically we human beings are capable of activating it. Along with this, we don’t have the power of union, but we have only the power of separation . Nature is welded and whole, yet human society is in contrast to that: We reject and hate each other; we are not interested in reaching balance. This is human nature and it is up to us to correct it. We correct it by means of the first steps in consolidation that awaken the power of union, and it will take care of us and give us the ability to truly connect.

A Disastrous Direction for Europe

Question: Meanwhile, the European conflicts only become sharper. How is it possible to move the process onto the right track for union?

Answer: The problem is that when the aspiration for union is accompanied by competitiveness and hatred, it leads to chauvinism.

Good trends towards the consolidation of people by being mixed with rivalry and xenophobia have been made more difficult through political games, producing Nazism. And in modern language, this is right-wing extremism, extremist union for the sake of the annihilation of everything that is “not with us,” “not like us.” Instead of educating people and providing information for them, they want to annihilate them.

And without a doubt, everything is advancing towards this.

In order to change the direction, we must conduct Integral Education in Europe. We must explain to people that the present direction will ultimately bring them to World War III, which for this continent will be an immense disaster, for the more that nations are developed, they are more “delicate,” “fragile,” and weak. For example, the difference that would result from disconnecting electricity or disconnecting the water supply in Africa and in Europe would be awesome.

Today we are dependent upon a multitude of factors that are most essential for our lives. Moreover, in order to put them on the threshold of survival, we don’t have to cause physical damage to these systems or others at all; it is enough to disrupt the operation of the computers that manage them.

Question: So how is it possible to halt the deterioration towards war?

Answer: This would be only through the dissemination of the method of Integral Education. It is this which is specifically accommodated to the union of the modern world.

This method says that the center doesn’t need to promote the interests of one nation or faction but the common interests of co-existence. We must stretch connections between people and really connect them, and not just for show.

It is possible to begin by talking about small, separate, and localized initiatives in any country or society. But in general, union must become the province of everyone. And if in the framework of the correction of the entire world, the Jewish people in Israel will provide a good example, then everyone will accept it.

Let’s go back to Europe where competition and hatred undermine union. The time has come to explain to the Europeans that the world is “round” and mutually connected, that it is impossible to correct one thing without the other. And this means that all of our efforts must be long-range and directed towards helping the entire world, towards concern for humanity as a whole, until the entire Earth will become one united family.

It is already clear to everyone today that the world is integral and is becoming a single global “village.” And this means that all the inhabitants of this village must live in balance and harmony with each other. How? Let’s begin with our European nations where the problem of conflicts and quarrels has already become quite tangible.

The problem is derived from a continuing and gathering lack of balance. So let’s begin by introducing the method of balance into communities and cities, provinces and cantons. Each country will receive the mechanism appropriate for its “balance,” and after that, these European examples will be used by us in other continents as well.

That every nation will reach balance on the basis of its national outlook is normal. In any case, the integration process will continue with an international standard. This also cannot be otherwise in a world in which everyone depends upon each other.

Eliminating The Incompatibility In One Separate State

Question: You speak about the need of uniting the whole nation into one family, but isn’t this the dream of the extremist right wing in Europe: “We are one family, and they are not!”?

Answer: The problem of the extremist right wing is that it puts its nation in a special position, above the other nations. Here, on the other hand, we don’t speak about being superior to others but about unity among the people, so why not?

If I am French, for example, other countries don’t interest me; France is quite enough for me and I don’t want those who are not considered French to live in it. What is more being French is a matter of culture and not nationality.

They may be Belgian and even Jews but as long as we have one general unified culture and a common perspective, France is our common state and we accept its constitution and its laws, its customs, its norms, and its language.

Thus, if a certain sector intensifies this unity, it makes no difference if he is from the right, the left, or the center of the political map, this attitude is good as long as it isn’t fulfilled at the expense of other countries. I don’t look at others. I simply want my state to live in peace and harmony, to be happy and to prosper.

What’s wrong with that? A person worries about his country and wants his people to live as one family, and even if he lacks the wide perspective or the moral powers to worry about the citizens of other countries and even if it is called nationalism, it is in a good sense. He isn’t a chauvinist and doesn’t hate others and foreigners. He only cares about his own people but not at the expense of others.

It is true that in this case the country is unwilling to be part of organizations like the current EU, but it is actually unnecessary to be part of them. First, the specific nation undergoes a new form of education, aspiring for equality, unity, and a general common standard of living that everyone accepts. People gradually absorb new values and already wish to attain some equal optimal average basket of basic goods and services for everyone.

We don’t measure everyone by the same standard, of course. A comfortable life can still mean different things to different people to some extent, but on the whole the differences are small and merely a social act and not a social abyss as we see today.

Question: Will the extremist right wing be more successful if they accept such an approach?

Answer: Of course, but in order to do so the law has to be changed in the right direction. On the whole, all the citizens of the state have to accept the state culture and they have to be French, for example, regardless of any religious faith. A person has to be loyal to country he lives in.

African Americans in the US, for example, do not act against their country. They actually feel that they are Americans. They have conflicts with other sectors but they live in their homeland.

Accordingly, even if you are Muslim living in Europe, you have to be loyal to the country you live in, since otherwise you will be denied the right to live there.

Question: Is this kind of national unity a precondition for global unity?

Answer: No, but now we are speaking about a specific region, about European states where the tension between different sectors is growing and with regard to that a unified Europe is not yet part of the agenda. We can speak about economic and military cooperation, but this isn’t unity, only cooperation based on contracts.

On the other hand, true unity symbolizes the transition to family relations. It is much more intense, intimate, deep, and comprehensive when all of Europe actually becomes the common home of all its inhabitants. But they are unable to achieve that today because they are very far from it.

Comment: I sometimes meet parents whose children have been diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum and the parents refuse to accept it. But the child needs a different approach and the parents have to change their attitude.

Answer: I don’t think this is necessary. I observe today’s children and I actually don’t see any of them behaving normally according to a scale on which 100 points would be considered normal behavior. We are all abnormal in some sense and in each of us there is a diversion of 10% – 20% up or down the scale.

At least 20% of our society finds it hard to manage to work in the framework of social communications. Unfortunately, today’s society doesn’t allow a person to develop properly and to feel good, to find the answers to questions and not to be shy about asking them. We become introverted and thus build ourselves by withdrawing into ourselves more and more as if inside a cocoon. The result is a  “normal” human being.

I believe that minor autistic attributes in children that have been diagnosed by the scrutinizing eyes of experts should not be highlighted in a child who lives in a regular environment. He will gradually adjust himself to it and will find his place in society if he is treated in a pleasant, friendly manner under its more or less right influence. Therefore, this isn’t a problem for hidden autistic people and neither for us.

Question: According to the Jewish tradition, the 15^th of Av is a holiday of love. People are searching for love their entire lives, and some would say that it is the most claimed good. It is not easy to find, and yet people do not give up and continue searching.

Even if we fail once, we keep hoping to start anew and find a new love. They say that love is a miracle. What makes love so appealing that we are willing to go to such great lengths to have it in our lives?

Answer: People search for love and cannot find it because it is impossible in our world. After all, love is a result of the unification of our desire, the basis, the fundamental material, and its fulfillment. In the science of Kabbalah, the desire is called a vessel and the Light is called fulfillment. The creature is the desire and the Creator is the fulfillment.

We need to attain this state fully in order for our desire to fill with the Upper Light and rise to the level of the upper force after growing quantitatively and most importantly qualitatively. This is why we constantly chase after love.

We need to look at the spiritual root, without which we cannot comprehend what happens. There is an important phenomenon in our lives, and it enthralls everyone. No one can free themselves from love. At the same time, no one knows anything about it.

There are numerous novels and books written, tons of movies made; all of humanity is spinning around love only, and no one knows what it is. All that is because love comes from an upper source, the Creator, who created the lower force, or the creature, so that this creature will wish to come closer to its Maker, and they will love each other.

It would seem that nothing can be better than that! It is a very touching story. It turns out that the upper force created all of us so that we would come close to it, embrace, and unite in love. But the fact of the matter is that we don’t understand what kind of love that is because love should be real.

Everyone dreams of real love, especially women. Women feel a need for love more, but they too don’t know what it is.

Real love means that I love someone else and not myself! I fulfill a partner and not that I become fulfilled because of him or her. That means that it has nothing to do with sex but rather wanting to feel all the desires of another person and getting pleasure from fulfilling those desires. That is love.

Such love doesn’t have to be between a man and a woman. The one who fulfills another is called a man and the one who receives the fulfillment is called a woman. It could be opposite to our physiological qualities since it is determined by a spiritual principle that is higher than our physical bodies.

In order to have real love we need to rise above our egoism in order to truly love our neighbor. In other words, I no longer love another person because it is pleasant, sweet, and brings satisfaction.

I don’t look at a pretty face, legs, or hair, and not even the personality matters. In other words, I don’t pay attention to the external or the inner qualities of a woman. I just look for ways to fulfill her, rising above any personal attitude toward her, which is egoistic.

In this case, a man also can be an object of love for me, and that is why in Kabbalah we talk about love for the friends. We agree to build relationships of love between us, and of course we are not talking about any intimate connections.

Love is when each person is ready to reveal his desire so that a friend can fulfill it, and the friend, in turn, reveals his desire to me so that I fulfill it. In this manner, we unite in mutual love. Mutual or two-sided love is called adhesion.

I penetrate within the inner desires of my friend, fulfill him, and he penetrates within my inner desires and fulfills me. There is no difference here between men and women of our world. In this manner, everyone begins to unite. This love is completely separate from our animal bodies and genders.

In this love, there cannot be one who loves and another who is loved. Each of us both receives and gives love.
