A Kabbalist feels the death of the physical body as if one were changing a shirt. If the main thing is me, not the shirt, that is, the soul, not the body, then each time I change shirts, due to this I change,I get more and more elegant attire.

There is nothing scary about death except the loss of the ability to make corrections. But if I didn’t make corrections in this life, I can calmly return the shirt because I have nothing to regret.

Question: Why does a Kabbalist work on a correction every time as if starting to live anew, nevertheless have to die at some point too and change his body?

Answer: There is a huge difference between the forms that a person changes throughout one’s life and the new form for which one must die. This will be a new reality, a significant modernization, as if I were constantly repairing my computer by installing new programs on it, and at some point, I suddenly found out that the computer itself was no longer suitable and would have to be changed.

In this difficult time of the coronavirus pandemic, women can perform much greater work than men because they have more connection with life, stronger sense of life in relation to their family and children.

After this epidemic, people will not be the same. It will take several months and everyone will get used to this new state. We will begin to perceive the world in a new way; we will feel that it is under the control of the upper force.

Everyone now has the same questions: Where did this problem come from? Why? What will happen next? Suddenly we lost our strength to pursue the different pleasures of this world, the main thing is to survive and for us and our children to live peacefully in this world.

This is a very important stage in the education of humanity. The virus will educate us so that we will not be the same people again. Imagine that in four, five, or six months we will see the epidemic subside and the coronavirus stop circulating between us, then we will already be different.

In the meantime, we just need to support each other and keep explaining that this blow came from nature because we breach its laws and violate its integrality and globality.

We destroy nature and, as a result, involuntarily we pull all these viruses out of it and force them to manifest. If we continue to treat nature this way, there will be many more new viruses, much more terrible than the coronavirus. Therefore, there is no choice, we must change the relationships between us and our attitude to nature, and then everything will fall into place.

First of all, we must understand that the coronavirus is a consequence of the imbalance in nature made by humans. This imbalance stems from the lack of friendly connections between people.

We must exist in an integral system, but instead we do the opposite and are moving further and further away from each other. Egoism is growing all the time and increasingly placing us against each other. If we do not stop the process of global separation, we will cause even more harmful viruses to appear.

Everyone agrees that there is a need for connection between people, but they do not believe that it is possible to achieve and consider it a beautiful dream. However, the fact is that we are not required to achieve connection, we just have to want to come to it.

By yearning for connection, we are already investing our effort in nature, and as a result nature gets corrected and improves. Then all sorts of pests, including viruses, will stop crawling out of it.

If the friends externally fulfill the requirements of students, participate in lessons and in the meetings of friends, then I don’t have the right to leave them. The Creator brought me to them, and I must work with them.

Especially now, in our time, to be in a Kabbalistic group is a happy opportunity received from above. The Creator pulls us toward Him.

If a person at least somehow relates to this process, more or less, then I don’t conduct any criticism, for me the main thing is to be connected with everyone in whom there is such a desire. Believe me, we are in a special state called the Exodus from Egypt. This is the outcome of not just one small group led by Abraham, but of representatives of all humankind, all people, all walks of life.

We all want to exit our egoism, to rise and unite with the Creator. The Creator helps us in this, it is not by accident that the coronavirus epidemic has come, which facilitates the exodus from egoism.

The Creator wants to show us how wrong our connection is, and therefore He puts us apart from each other through the coronavirus. Now we need to understand how to connect again, but in the right form. As soon as we are ready to connect correctly, the virus will disappear.

We will not return to the old world, but will come to a new connection, to a new society, to new occupations. Life will not be the same as it was before the coronavirus. Therefore, it is necessary to explain to all of humanity what the Creator requires of us. It is friendship toward each other, it is love in order to reveal the properties of bestowal, it is unity between us, and from love for the creatures to come to love for the Creator.

There is only one global force of nature, and it sends us the coronavirus so that we would respond to it properly and correct reality.

First of all, we must understand that the virus comes from the general integral system of nature, which reacts to us in this way due to the fact that we humans are in disequilibrium with it. Therefore, nature seeks to balance us by force.

Nature tells us through this pest, this virus: “You have reached an integral form. Unite in your egoism around the entire globe. You have already become one humanity—wonderful! Now I will begin to reveal to you, as one body, through this one virus that you are out of order. Start to heal little by little!

“But you need to think about how to respond to this virus, which affects all of humanity and the whole
planet; you need to act together. Unite, act together, begin to change the governmental systems in each country, the relationship between countries, and relations within society. Make yourself as one, one body, and then this virus will disappear without a trace.

“Otherwise, it will not leave. It will come in various other forms, in all kinds of modifications, until I, nature, make you all become a single society where everyone complements, supports, and is friendly to each other. I will pressure you with all kinds of viruses so much that you will be forced to connect with each other and connect with me, nature.”

This is the path of suffering, which is called “Beito” (“in due time”), in the course of natural development. But there is still a way of accelerating time (Achishena), when we ourselves, through the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah, understand what needs to be done and begin to build good relations with each other and educate ourselves in how to become a single humanity.

The coronavirus lets us know that all our activities are not really necessary and our entire life has not been aimed in the right direction. The upbringing that we received and are now passing to our children is wrong. One must understand that the world needs to exist in a new way: on the basis of unification.

We can come to it because there is the method of Kabbalah. The higher force intentionally sends us various obstacles so that we abandon our far-fetched activities and begin to build life in a new way where there is no difference between this world and the spiritual one, and the difference between life and death disappears; that is, there will be no death. Death will be only for the desire to receive—this is how we will perceive it.

I am certain we will succeed. The main thing is to progress day after day with understanding, awareness, good connection between us, and to raise humanity’s desires to the Creator. Even if their requests stem from the fear of the coronavirus, we absorb these desires, raise them to the Creator, and ask Him for medicine.

It does not matter to me what medicine the Creator will give, I do not tell Him what medicine it should be: against the virus or against our egoism. We then find that it is one and the same—there is no other pest besides our egoism. It is just that now it appears as a virus.

The coronavirus killed our egoistic inception and brings us much closer to each other. It drove us all to the same state: everyone is sitting at home, out of work, and we do not know what will happen tomorrow or what today will bring.

All of humanity, the entire globe, billions of people, are in a single state regarding the present and the future.

The coronavirus places us all into one community, one system. This is not just a virus but a special spirit that takes root in our mind and our senses and creates a muddle out of us. We suddenly begin to understand and feel each other, to sense our closeness. It is easy for us to visualize any condition that has befallen others.

Look what this virus has done, how skillfully it works. In one swoop, in just a few weeks, it built a new humanity out of us. Of course we still hope to return to the old, thinking that this pandemic will end if not today then tomorrow.

But the quarantine might last a few more months, and when we get out of it, we will find ourselves in a new world, in a new humanity, among new people with a different mentality, different perception, and different attitude.

Everything will be different.

This virus will wash us, clean all the stupid things out of our heads, it will return us to our families. It will teach us to stay at home instead of rushing from place to place. We will get used to a new life. We must thank the virus for doing this job.

Of course, we see that the coronavirus brings death and suffering. But on the scale of all of humanity, it is making such useful changes in society that previously seemed possible only at the cost of terrible blows and wars. When we summarize the changes made by the virus in our lives, we will understand that this is a messenger from above.

For the first time in history, a tiny virus is making such changes simultaneously around the globe, in all of humanity. And doing this despite all our modern development, global communication, understanding, and knowledge. But look at how it dealt with us. In an instant, everyone surrendered and accepted its terms. Is there any other force in nature capable of such actions?
