People who study with us for years ask me: “Well, when will I finally…? What will be in the end?”, and I don’t know what to answer them.

You are in the upper world already, start feeling it! And if it is concealed from you, do what you have to do so that it will be revealed! After all, I will not give you this key!

Why do you all see in me someone who executes things and not a guide? I cannot fulfill anything!

Suppose I were a coach of an athlete who has to participate in the Olympic games. I can’t participate in his place. I am a coach. I can advise him and show him, I can give him different activities to carry out: psychological, physical, massage, etc., everything that an athlete needs. But I cannot participate in his place. It is the same here!

A Kabbalah teacher is like a school or university teacher, he brings you out into the world. Then you have to reach your own goal by yourself, attain your own achievements using the knowledge you received from your teacher. It is the same thing here.

So it is futile to ask me: “When?” You should only ask yourselves.

I can even sit here on the stage and not say a word for two days, while you are working on your internality. This would be a wonderful convention! We could transmit it all over the world, and our friends all over the world could do the same thing. We will get to that state. You cannot even imagine what force would reside among you then. This could be an amazing experience!

So only internal concentration!

And on the outside, the help of the friends and my instructions.

Question: To what extent can we speak about dissemination at the Convention?

Answer: We will speak about dissemination at the Convention whenever we can. One of the topics included in the planned schedule is a lecture on dissemination and a discussion of dissemination work. It’s best for this to be the last topic of the Convention. This should be what we leave the Convention with, our outcome and way of addressing the world. This should be discussed as the conclusion of the Convention.

In principle, we are getting together to unite with one another, inside of us, meaning to pursue unification inwards, rather than dissemination, expansion outward. This is the objective of the Convention! But we should also think about how we will expand our idea because our spiritual success depends on that.

Mainly, the entire Convention will be aimed within us, within our worldwide desire, but nevertheless, the last topic will be devoted to dissemination. The topic of women will be addressed separately, including women’s organizations, as well as the topic of upbringing for children and adults. These are all topics that will be discussed.

Question: The Convention is an enormous pleasure. How can we avoid falling into egoistic enjoyment?

Answer: Go ahead, enjoy it egoistically, since this is also a good thing. A person has to live by enjoying, so let him enjoy. And afterwards he will gradually figure these pleasures out.

That is, under no circumstances should a person fall into depression, engage in any kind of criticism, critique, discernments or analysis, which might bring about rejection, separation, and a descent. One should only engage in goodness and strive upwards!

Question: How can I prepare for a workshop correctly? What do I, as a participant, pass to the whole group during the workshop?

Answer: As a leader, I “throw out” a question, or an idea, or a state. We should discuss this state.

Everyone should think about what he would say about this state, and how he will complement, not repeat, but add to what has been said so it becomes a joint whole opinion on the given topic.

Question: What should I watch out for at the workshops? What is not allowed to say?

Answer: It’s not allowed to say negative things, but only positive things.

In general, the whole convention is based on the fact that we rise above all our negative issues: personal, group, and world. We think only about unity and live only by this. That is why we don’t touch any problems. We will mention them a little bit at the lectures, but the workshop is built only on ascent.

We talk only about the degree to which we have to rise. We imagine it; we constantly try to adapt to it. Cancelling ourselves, by the connection between us, we try to feel what this higher degree is, the Light that surrounds us, what quality this is, etc. That is, in no way you should fall below the level to which we want to ascend.

Question: How can we find out whether the workshop was successful or not?

Answer: The workshop was successful if people leave it with the feeling that they have obtained the most important thing.

Question: What can individuals or groups who connect with us virtually do during the workshops?

Answer: They should participate with us in the workshops.

He, who is sitting alone in front of the computer, will feel our atmosphere. He will listen to the focus group; we will broadcast it specifically for individuals.

As for the groups, they also discuss the same questions that I “throw out” to the groups in front of me. It doesn’t matter for me who is here in front of me or who is in the world.

The groups around the world discuss the topic of the workshop and do the same things as the groups in front of me. If he is alone, he listens to the focus group and seemingly participates together with it.

We must understand that our training is the example of what we should be engaged in every day.

It’s not necessary to meet with the group for this. They can be organized 10-15 minutes before the lesson, as the group preparation for the lesson. They could be conducted and during the break between studies and at the end. This can be done at the end of a workday—at any time.

This regular training should bring us to the point that we will begin to feel during all our life that we are in the higher information field that creates everything in us and works through us. But a person doesn’t exist.

Then, we will begin to feel that a human being is a completely different structure, which we cannot imagine today. But we are already entering and approaching this.

Question: What goals are in front of us regarding dissemination in the world? We see how people are suffering in many countries. How can we help them?

Answer: The truth is that there are people among us who believe that since the world doesn’t hear us yet, it’s better to wait: Let them suffer some more and then we’ll start disseminating after they already understand the essence of suffering. Such an attitude toward humanity does not stem from love.

We need to try, at all costs, to convey at least something to the people, wherever and whomever they may be, and to mitigate any of their sufferings.

The year ahead will be very intense. We await many different changes in the world. There are the re-elections of various people in power, and although very little actually depends on them, it still has great significance. The world is undergoing major shake-ups.

The contract with the federal monetary system in America, which prints money, is coming to an end. And who knows what will happen next. In other words, the world is facing very serious developments on the material level.

Naturally, all these events are concentrated in this way under the influence of the Light, and this speaks to the fact that today we can implement very powerful changes since something new is always born out of such contrast.

In addition, we’re going through tremendous changes between us, within us, and in our relationship to the world. Everything depends on how effectively we use the amazing possibilities given to us from above. Everything that we want is there; just do it and you will succeed. Everything depends only on us.

But overall, this is a decisive year. This year, we are forming the spiritual system of the world together—the correction of the world in accordance with the laws of nature.

We need to work in collaboration with scientists, politicians, and respected people who agree with us regarding everything concerning the problems of our world. We need to gather all of it together into a single system that could appeal to the world and to start to systematically promote it, to arrange it in its proper place, through UNESCO, the UN, and governments.

There is a vast field of activity before us. Stop paying attention to small problems; try to rise above them because the Creator “slips them in” for you in order to elevate you.

Don’t forget about that.

We need to quickly finalize the development of the integral education and upbringing method and offer it to humanity. By the end of the year, new problems will emerge in the world: unemployment, confusion, and ruin. The world will have a need for our method, which on top of everything else, is essentially free and easily implemented, and requires no extra costs.

Usually, if there are major changes in society, it requires decades and billions of dollars in investment: and here, almost nothing. If we have the Internet, television, clubs, and volunteers, then everything will move along. In just a few weeks we will feel how people are changing. And we don’t need anything else. Enormous resources are liberated, and the world becomes kind, friendly, and bright.

If the Creator is the only force that governs, maintains, and enlivens everything, then even the words that I utter, the thoughts and desires that arise in me now, all of it is also Him. Hence I need to unite with what passes through me now and comes out from me to others. All of it is all His work as well; He is carrying all of it out. I’m not here. I am only what perceives itself filled with the might, force, intention, and desire of the Creator who thereby addresses others.

I need to connect and to merge with what is happening inside of me now, to feel that I’m entirely filled by Him because there is no other force besides Him. And when I try to eliminate my own “Self” within me, that everything is only Him, this is exactly when I find my new “Self,” based on “there is none else besides Him.” That is, everything that I think about, it is all Him.

Question: What can I get from the friends’ words during the workshops, but can’t get from the lesson with the teacher?

Answer: When the teacher speaks everyone is silent, that is, they agree with what he says. There is a plus and a minus in this.

There is no internal work during this time because you are involuntarily suppressed, silenced by the knowledge, the height of the teacher as he is initially higher than you.

When you are together with the friends, you are working with someone who can be higher, lower, or at the same level with you. And here, you have a lot of work on lowering yourself, removing your “I,” canceling yourself. And in addition, you need to consider any of your friends to be the greatest. In this way, you “adjust” yourself to the Creator, prepare yourself to go by bestowal above reception, faith above reason.

Now we desire only one thing: We wish that all of creation, meaning us, will not present any obstacles for the manifestation of the upper Light, so it will fill us without any resistance on our part. We want to make such a restriction on ourselves to give Him all the space for His revelation. At the same time we don’t exist, we are just transparent so that one single force would be passing through us and would fill us.

This is the first condition, restriction (Tzimtzum Aleph), from which to begin our meeting with the Creator when for the first time we really feel for real that “There is None Else Beside Him.”

We are transparent; we don’t exist because we have annulled our “I,” our egoism, and so now the Creator can fill everything.
