Question: At the congress in Stockholm, you said that the professionals closest to us are teachers and psychologists. Immediately, a teacher with 35 years of experience said, “Finally, my experience is in demand, and I’ll tell you how to teach your methodology of integral education.”

Also a psychologist said, “You do it the wrong way. You can’t do anything. You should be trained for three years, you need to complete psychology courses.” However, she did not finish our training, constantly falls back into her profession, and is unable to grasp the integral methodology. But when she heard your statement, she decided that it was her finest hour.

Answer: Of course not! I meant that it might be easier for a person who is accustomed to methodical work and knows the principles of organizing it to develop our methodology . But neither teachers nor psychologists can be above everyone else. Moreover, to develop the methodology, it is better not to involve teachers but curriculum developers instead because they know how to explain it.

How is a lesson plan in school usually created? First, they speak about one thing, then another, the corresponding representation is drawn, a specific example is given. Similarly, we have to describe in a talk, then a workshop, then questions and answers, etc. You need a specialist who is familiar with the correct presentation of the material for this, someone who lives this, not a teacher, but a curriculum developer.

I mentioned teachers and psychologists because they have an approach, the experience of interaction with an audience, but nothing more. They have to be fully integrated with us in everything else; leaving their previous form, they should be reborn; their inner message should be ours.

So I don’t think that teachers and psychologists are the ones who can immediately go out to people, and by no means should they tell us what to do. If the female psychologist says otherwise, then she has no place among us.

Conveying An Integral Message

Question: You use the word “round” all the time, for example, “round” desires. What does this mean?

Answer: We are connected, adhered, included in one another in such a way that your desires and thoughts become understood and close to me, and my desires become close and understood by you. We become closer, so much so, that each one is raised above himself; we are connected through a common opinion, shared knowledge, and mutual feeling.

This unity which is created between us becomes the main thing because it is specifically this which produces a third component, the unified image of the one person who is completely similar to nature and is found in absolute harmony with it. In this way, by connecting above ourselves, above our ego, each one of us becomes a harmonious component of nature.

Question: My friend, who lives in Switzerland, came to Moscow and accidentally found herself in an integral workshop that was organized online from Perm. She came home and wrote to me a week later asking, “Do you have such a group in Switzerland?” After tasting it once, she developed a need for this. What can we do with people who would like to continue with integral education?

Answer: You cannot immediately convey the integral methodology long distance. First, you need to agree with a group that wants to study,  go to that city or country where they live, give intensive training, for example, for ten days in the evenings, and thus tune them, as you tune an instrument, to mutual integral sound, so that it produces a good chord, harmony. And then, you can maintain communication long distance, visiting them occasionally.

Question: Should the integral education lecturer implement this method on himself for his own development?

Answer: Absolutely. Before a person begins to teach, he must learn and absorb our method, for he needs to be a certified expert, seriously prepared, and most importantly, the bearer of that universal energy that he wants to convey to his listeners.

He must be a member of an integral group in which he is constantly being recharged with energy. The idea is that our ego is developing all the time, society influences us all the time, exposing us to external and internal disturbances. But we don’t need to oppose them, but rather to hold ourselves above them all the time, which is to say, to elevate ourselves, to rise above all the internal egoistic exacerbations, and to be engaged in self-criticism and self-control.

To do this, the person requires very serious support from his small society, that is, our institute of integral information.

Question: The lecturer is in a process of constant development and shows an example to others all the time. Does this example influence those around him in that it conveys to them a fraction of the integral concept?

Answer: No. People simply see that he is relaxed, pleasant in communication, and ready for mutual cooperation, mutual help. Something like this could be in a human society but it could be that this is revealed in him more than in others. It could be that it is not revealed at all, for he doesn’t come in close contact with the others. His role is to teach and develop the integral method and realize it in all of humanity.

Question: In order to convey some information, a person must have a certain social position (a doctoral degree, etc.). Is this important in the teaching of the integral method? Or, on the contrary, do we cancel ourselves and highlight the method, while we remain in the background?

Answer: I think that in this case, the title is not so important because the opinion about us and the surprising results of our special method is spreading very quickly.

In everyday life, people don’t go to doctors as often, but go to a normal healer because his healing brings about a special result. Thus, a person does not need doctors who will give him injections, operate on him, etc.; he needs a healer that will give him some natural ingredients and this will make him feel better. The main thing is the result.

Moreover, today high titles (both those purchased or earned) do not mean much to us. We have come to a state where we do not know how to save a person, how to cure him, how to help him. Thus, high ranking titles lose their meaning. We cannot tell how effective a meeting with a professor will be even if he is a winner of various awards. I don’t think it is so important.

Question: What connection should there be between those who study the integral method and their instructor? Does he have to appear “great” in their eyes? What is this greatness about?

Answer: An instructor knows people’s nature. He is like a spiritual father for his students. They see him as a person who understands their inner part. This is the attitude that our instructor has to earn.

When a person comes to the class for the first time he doesn’t know what it is. However, right after the first class he begins to understand that this is a very interesting method that gives him the feeling of happiness and fulfillment (this is the most important thing for the person). After all, we are created in such a way that practically whatever we do is directed toward the sensation of fulfillment. We call this fulfillment, happiness.

In general, this is a completely faceless and objectless form. Simply a person feels good, easy, worry free , safe, etc. All of this is adds up into the category of happiness. If a person understands that he can reach this only together with the whole team, then his instructor can be called a “professor of happiness.” This means that you are an instructor of attaining happiness.

The external public are our external vessels, like the last two levels (the garments and palace) of the five levels of the soul “root, soul, body, garments, palace.” They require the “Light of Hochma” from us, although it seems that they ask for “bread and circuses,” as the crowds cried for in ancient Rome. But the “bread and entertainment” in their understanding, on our stage is transformed into Light.

We have neither bread nor entertainment for them and we will not provide it. We must educate the public so that they themselves will be able to bring the entire society to the form that will fulfill them. They will think that everyone got exactly what he had asked for: bread and entertainment, no matter what, the most important thing is that he feels good. It is like with a little child: He demands a toy but you take him to ride a merry-go-round and he forgets about the toy.

If we feel the desires of the public, we will obtain a huge incentive to connect with each other and draw the upper force because we have to pass it outside and fill the external desires. Then, we will have to work.

But without this external force putting pressure on us, only the path of suffering will be left for us. We will be able to switch to the path of the Torah only under the gradual pressure of the outside world that will oblige us to draw the Light.

Question: In our connection before going out for dissemination is there a place for concepts like jealousy and respect?

Answer: Certainly. You see we are involved with a person’s ego, we understand the foundation of his nature. Therefore there must be jealousy, control, respect, and appreciation, also a feeling of security, breakthrough, pleasure, and so forth. All of these characteristics must be at work.

The only thing is that the person must remember what he is doing this for. The most essential task is to bring the world to an integral state. In a form like this we raise it to a higher energy, to a higher goal; the essential difference between our dissemination campaign and others is in this. We are realizing it from this point; it is the first and the last. It is the first because we are beginning the internal preparation from it, and it is the last because with it we are going out to people and want to plant it in the hearts of our listeners. Therefore it is always conveyed within the stream of our workshops, discussions, answers, questions, and songs, no matter what we are doing.

This is a clear direction for transforming the masses into one complete unit because in a form like this they will combine and become balanced with all of nature. The higher goal is the main task that determines the whole method from the beginning of the action; it is the desired end result.

Besides this, it becomes the essential motivation for the workers in the enterprise of disseminating the integral method. By participating in the integral connection, through them, they convey the higher energy and feel how it fills them; they live this.

So far, throughout the history of humankind, only those with a point in the heart established a connection with the upper force. And for mankind in general this relationship is not required: All of them had their own gods, their beliefs, that originated in pagan Babylon.

However, in this modern era, deities are being cast down from their pedestals. People are giving up their religions and ceasing to believe in science and are immersed in crises, not knowing where to turn for help and how to rebuild their lives.

The human world is collapsing. Previously, the belief in a higher power strengthened people in the face of adversity, and even death left a hope for a future world. However, today these arguments do not work, so now is the time to speak to the people. We can be their loving parents.

Of course, we must bear his message carefully and put it in specific explanations that are appropriate for a particular audience. Meanwhile, day by day, from election to election, people are increasingly aware that no one will help them. Gradually, they are forming a distinct, clear sense: Nothing will move toward the future.

This allows us to declare our message because our solution is completely different from the others and our voice continues to ring out when the others die down, when all the gates are shut except the “gate of tears.” This decision comes to a person only when he is desperate and sees no way out. Then, he is suddenly ready to hear us and receive our words: here lies the opening, the “eye of the needle,” through which to escape from disasters.

In fact, one feels that here lies a relationship with a higher power and the opportunity to use it. We offer him a chance, a special technique, that allows him to awaken contact with the “upper energy” that can fix us, fix our world. We, ourselves, do not do anything; we only open this tiny door slightly, and everything else carries a huge “energy” of a higher order. So, let’s make a seminar in the right interaction between us.

People are ready to hear us.

Question: Unfortunately, we hear only the oppressed, those who work from morning to night, from which there is no exit, no escape from the modern “slavery.” And it’s scary: Can they really hear us only when everyone will be in a position of absolute hopelessness?

Answer: No, it’s just that one hears according to his current state. Do not think that the “great world” turns a deaf ear to our promise. The current arrangement does not relieve them from worrying.

After all, global trends are a great concern. In fact, we have lost control over what’s happening. It is like we are in a car with no brakes on downward slope, with no end in sight. We cannot get out and cannot do anything. The steering wheel barely holds us on the road, the speed is increasing, and we already can see that soon we will not be able to control the car.

Once on the road, in a similar situation, I clearly saw two possibilities: either crash into rocks or turn into a bus in front of me to mitigate the blow a little bit. I was on a long descent downhill, I had to do it, and I used the opportunity since otherwise we were heading for disaster.

So, I think that those in power, too, feel like this today, but still do not hear us about a decision. We have not tried to really get through to them.

Besides, there always are people that are not sufficiently developed that are ready to settle for today’s benefits, not thinking about tomorrow. As it is written about them, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

Anyway, we must continue to disseminate widely, without despair. Perhaps, we will be heard in ten years. So what? The global crisis, in any case, will not end until we connect to humanity with the right intention. It will only increase, coming in waves, falling back time and time again, attacking the various spheres of life. The same disease enters the body, and while hidden affects the tissues and organs until the next paroxysm.

The current crisis has not been overcome. It is just cyclical, and ahead of us are the hardest stages. It will be “cleaned” before the end of humanity. It “will squeeze all the juice out of us,” clueless with no opportunity to escape. Nothing will help: not religion, not riches, nor hope for loved ones. Children will betray you, your family will throw you out of your house, and you will not find a home anywhere else: All of this if you’re not ready to accept the method of correction.

Of course, the goal is not to do away with humanity; it is only to summon you to the right intention. Do you want to change, to gain equivalence of form, and rise to the level of the Creator who sends you this trouble?

Yes, it is He. Rise to the next step and look at what His intentions are. Grow up, be with Him in mind, and suddenly you will see that it is not trouble, but the expression of love. This feeling suddenly is born into your new vessels, desires. Moreover, you will find that in the past there was never any trouble and He did not send anyone suffering. Now, you will get a clear understandable view.

Question: Will we, at least, be able to cope with the problems?

Answer: Under the current approach, no one will be able to cope with the problems of the world. Day by day, year by year, we only weaken under their yoke, plunging into despair, feeling helpless, and not wishing to make any effort.

Conversely, if we have the right approach, if people would correct themselves, they will not have to confront the issues. Adversity will become merit, pleasure, and the world a vessel full of all good things.

Opinion: (Report by Prof. Y. Yakovets, Academician of Russian Academy of Natural Sciences at the UN General Assembly): “In the end of the 20^th century, mankind entered a lasting period of unstable development and global crises (energo-ecological, demographic, technological, geopolitical, and socio-cultural). All components of the present civilization seem to require thorough innovative updating. Why? It is because the world civilization had run its historical course and needs to be replaced with a progressive society of higher consciousness-integral world civilization.

“So far, the predominant strategy is adapting the outgrown system to the new setting and prolonging its agony and intensifying global conflicts thereby. Yet, it is essential, after having defined the contours of future society, to develop and implement a strategy designated to form an integral circuit of civilization, the basis for which is emerging before our eyes—and this will relieve the travails of transitioning to a new phase in the development of our civilization.

“An international team of scientists supports the second position: they provide theoretical ground and propose practical steps toward implementation of strategic breakthrough to the new society. It derives from acknowledging the fact that civilization is undergoing a revolutionary change—a lengthy, agonizing transition from being industrial to becoming an integral and global one.

“The long-term strategic mission is to hasten and facilitate this transition, by equipping progressively thinking forces with clear understanding of where we are going and why and reliable methods for reaching the goals.

“Secondly, the strategy has to ensure indigenously developed, balanced transformation in all facets of society’s life, all six major genotype components of civilization: natural and environmental, demographic, technological, economic, geopolitical, and socio-cultural—by reaching greater sustainability and predictability in dynamic society.

“Thirdly, the primary driving role in implementing the long-term strategic transformation of human society is assigned to the partnership of 12 local civilizations of the fifth generation-the central figures on the 21^st century’s geo-economic and geopolitical stage.

“Fourthly, specific institutions, mechanisms, and global civilizations partnership programs have been proposed in order to implement the strategy.”

My Comment: There is a clearly visible problem: Scientists do not care as long as those in power can ensure their safe future. Where scientists are concerned, they don’t share a single view and even less so do they understand the cause and the purpose of crisis, and therefore, they have no plan of action. They offer a lot of buzzwords, nothing more.

This will continue until the wisdom of Kabbalah receives their acknowledgement and ties them together in a unified understanding of the goal and the means. And then, possibly by cooperative effort, directly influencing authorities and the general public via the Internet, we can raise public opinion so that the “rulers” would start to seriously consider transforming society, that is, by forming media designed to nurture society toward the new integral world civilization.

Basically, this is where Kabbalists come in since it is they who must exert every effort in revealing the method of correction of man and the new integral civilization.
