Pleasure from the Work

543.02Question: How much should we earn? You fight, you struggle, and you cannot earn anything significant.

Answer: Start thinking that you want to earn less. And then you will see that you have even more than you wanted.

Question: How can you enjoy working?

Answer: To do this you need to enter the craft. Whatever you do, you should strive to be a master of your craft, and then you will enjoy working.

Question: Where can I get energy for success?

Answer: It depends only on the importance of the goal. If you want to achieve something, you will have energy. But the most important thing is to understand that this is your goal, and you have to achieve it.

Toward a Society of Rational Consumption

632.3The intermediate stage of transition toward a new stage should be a period of self-study and self-educationThen we will build a society of rational consumption where we live in a normal and rational way and we take care that everyone has the same general level, but in accordance with the individual needs of everyone and according to their taste.

The most important thing is that in addition to providing us with a rational level of corporeal existence, we will develop ourselves through our new social ties so as to be in complete similarity to nature.

Thus, we will begin to enter into its hidden forces and to feel the vast space in which we exist, not the universe that we depict for ourselves, but inside a great and multidimensional machine.

In this case, it will be completely under our control since we will become its uppermost beings.

962.3Question: What is the spiritual root of money?

Answer: Money, in Hebrew “Kesef” comes from the word “Kisufa (Lehasot)—to cover.” This means it is the equivalent of anything in the world that can cover almost everything. It had to be done. At first it was gold, bullion, whatever, until people came to coins.

Question: Can a Kabbalist be rich?

Answer: Undoubtedly. One has nothing to do with the other.

Question: Which is better, to have a business or to work in a company, in an institution?

Answer: It depends on the character of the person and why he needs it. If I can while owning business be more free and give my free time for the benefit of myself and others, then, of course, having a business is better.

Decline of the Level of Consumption

507.04The depression that envelops the world is not quenched by any yachts, villas, travel, or banquets. Of course, this depends on the level of development of countries and societies because in more developed societies it is even stronger.

The fact that the era of consumption is coming to an end is evident through the increase in the number of psychologists, psychiatrists, sedatives, drug legalization, and so on. When it comes to industry where there are people who want to profit, and the masses do not allow them to profit because they do not buy the goods they produce, this is where the problem arises!

What will those who need to add another zero to their wealth do? They have a lot of things: both weapons and power, but no one buys anything from them. How will their bank account be replenished?

They created an economy that depends only on the purchasing power of people. If you buy and throw it away, earn money again and buy and throw away, then they profit from it and that is what they need. This is what they enjoy. The fact that all of this is thrown away pollutes the Earth and depletes it of minerals does not matter. The main thing is to see an additional zero in the bank.

But what do you care? No matter how much they try to convince you that you need to buy, you no longer want to. Here is the crisis, and they do not know what to do with it.

The Era of Overproduction

220Question: According to statistics, many of us have more than what is necessary, but still are unhappy because we fear losing our jobs. We live by the principle that we must hold a job to earn money. How can we change this consciousness? At the expense of what can it be changed?

Answer: Neither people nor economists understand how to properly organize the economy.

Now all kinds of theories are emerging on how to build an economy in a non-developing technological society. All we need is to optimize a few sectors.

Let’s say we develop the agricultural sector, and even then, to an extent, manage it so as not to eat anything artificial. In the same way, we would improve only the devices and appliances we need, for example, consumer electronics. What else do we need? What for?!

We need to conduct a thorough revision of what we have achieved, and in a conscious and obligatory manner begin to remove everything unnecessary. Otherwise we will not survive; we will exhaust our reserves. Let’s say I am the owner of the Earth. The globe is my vegetable garden and whatever is in the earth or in the air is not self–renewing.

In the near future this will be quite realistically understood by people. They are not able to limit themselves. Egoism will drive us into a corner. Our nature is made in a way that will force us to think about self-restraint. Such a need will arise.

Look, suddenly millions of unemployed people are on the street and businesses are closing. Why? What for? There are hundreds of theories. What now? They are closing down because we have passed all stages of development; we have reached overproduction.

Everyone Turned Out To Be Thieves

962.2Comment: There is a legend that Arthur Conan Doyle once sent a telegram in jest to twelve of the largest London bankers, and, as it was claimed, the most honest. He wrote in a telegram: “All is discovered! Flee!” According to the story, the next morning, all twelve bankers disappeared from London. Everyone turned out to be thieves. And this well-known principle is that everyone is a thief, and even more so bankers.

My Response: Sure.

Question: In what case can we say: “Honest bank, honest banker” and is it even possible?

Answer: The banking system is built on the principle that there can be no honesty. So I can’t imagine how it could be. After all, you’re always thinking about how to win, how to give some interest, and so on. That is, everything is built on winning, and winning cannot be honest.

Question: In what case can this system be honest?

Answer: Only if you are the bank of the whole world, and the whole world will be yours, and you will think only about the good of the world, then maybe something will work out.

Question: So I’m kind of responsible for the world as a bank, and I have to assume that these are not my clients, but my children?

Answer: Sure.

Question: Is this system possible, in principle?

Answer: In principle, it is possible, of course. Why not?

Comment: But this is a completely idealistic, detached from life system.

My Response: We just need to cut egoism out of humanity, and then the normal “meat” will remain that will only care about everything’s existence.

Question: On what principle is this bank based?

Answer: On making everyone feel good, everyone has everything.

Question: And due to what will I live as a banker?

Answer: Due to the fact that you will see how what you do benefits everyone.

Question: And this gives me vitality?

Answer: Absolutely everything.

Question: Will I have something to live from, to support the bank?

Answer: We’ll leave you something.

Question: And this “little bit” will be enough for me?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: Meaning, I will not have an inner cry: “More and more!”

My Response: No. You won’t have anything at all!

Question: What will I have?

Answer: You will have a great, deep, personal pleasure from a well-lived life.

Question: And is it worth all the money? And is it worth everything at all?

Answer: You will have perfect status!

Comment: Today it is clear that the whole system is rotten because it works exclusively for itself—to profit.

My Response: If it will work for everyone, and everyone will participate in everything, then it can be applied and played with forever.

Question: What will be the currency of this bank?

Answer: Happiness, tranquility, and peace of mind for everyone. And the most important common property will be boredom. 🙂

Everyone will be bored. Why move, live, do something? Nothing! Everyone walks with dull eyes, they don’t see anything in front of them and that is how they lost the meaning of life.

Question: So what is happiness then? What kind of bank have we built if everyone is bored?

You said, “Happiness. The main currency is the happiness of all.” I want it to be like this. This is the main currency of the bank, and it exists for this.

Answer: I do not know what can be done then. If you take away a person’s egoism, his nature, then he will not have happiness.

Question: Then what can egoism be replaced with so that we still have happiness and there is such a growing one? What is the best way for us, for humanity?

Answer: No, we will not get rid of egoism. And if we get rid of it, then we will fall into such a state that death is better.

Question: How can we turn it around then, this egoism?

Answer: It is only possible when we work in an appropriate healthy team that will work according to the system of Kabbalah.

Question: And what will egoism be transformed into?

Answer: It does not transform. It simply begins to feed on giving, love, and the saturation of others, in the same way a mother enjoys when she gives to her baby.

Question: And this is a likely option?

Answer: This is a possible option. A woman who is breastfeeding enjoys the fact that the baby is sucking on an animal level. It’s the same with animals.

If in this way you feel that you can create such a society so that people feed each other like this, from themselves, then you will succeed.

Question: But all the same, you say that this society is based on egoism, only inverted?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So I get pleasure from feeding others?

Answer: Yes. Or if you find a way, although this is also questionable, to make everyone feel like relatives, but very close and dependent on each other, then it is also possible.

Question: So we have come to the conclusion that a bank that is happy because it feeds everyone, this bank will exist?

Answer: Yes.

Irrational Way

272Comment: I watched a movie about an attempt to create an endless system of jobs by developing consumption. In it they say that a concern was created in 1928 that minimized the lifespan of products and even imposed fines. Due to this, they created a permanent consumer basket.

My Response: Let’s say any product that is sold to us will have a useful life of a month, a year, or maximum of five years, and then it will deteriorate. Or I will buy a computer knowing that a year later, on the same day I plug it in, something will turn on inside that will burn it, and I have to throw it away.

Maybe I will be able to even bring this computer to the store and get another, more advanced model for a period of one year, or maybe for 9 months, for a 10% discount.

Let’s say we do it. Then what? What will give us this way to constantly give each other work? After all, if we are closed on each other in this way, it is as if we did not produce perishable things.

It is stupid to deplete the earth. It is impossible to constantly pull out anything we want from it. After all, there is a time when oil, gas, metals, precious metals, and so on may run out. There is a date when we will not have enough water. They are already talking about the times when we will not have enough air. What will you do then, sell air, sell water, until they completely disappear?

Even if nature did not have the task of bringing us to the recognition of a dead end in the process of our development, this path is still completely unrealistic and irrational.

Stars Light Up in the Laboratory

272American scientists have made a breakthrough in the research of the process of controlled thermonuclear fusion. For more than 60 years scientists have been struggling with this problem trying to reproduce in the laboratory the nuclear reaction that naturally occurs on the Sun and other stars.

Thermonuclear fusion is a process directly opposite to nuclear fission, which is used in atomic bomb explosions. If such a synthesis becomes controlled, it will open unique opportunities for creating practically inexhaustible and environmentally friendly energy sources that do not produce harmful emissions of carbon dioxide or radioactive waste.

Experts say that one glass of liquid hydrogen—used as fuel for thermonuclear fusion—can provide a house with energy for several hundred years. It is assumed that poor countries will be able to receive virtually free energy in any quantity.

Of course, if this discovery comes to practical use, it will be a great gift to humanity. However, we have seen many times in the past that such great discoveries do not benefit men. There are many people who earn money by burning oil and gas, and therefore, they are not interested in such a discovery.

They will not want to give humanity such a big gift in the form of an unlimited source of energy. Therefore, I do not think that such a revolution in the energy sector can happen before humanity corrects itself for the benefit of the entire world.

There is no doubt that all suppliers of conventional fossil fuels that produce energy today will obstruct this process by all means.

We can talk about it only after the correction of humanity. But then we will no longer need thermonuclear fusion because we will connect with the source of upper energy, which operates in a completely different way. Then we will have no problem with energy, we will draw it simply from nothing.

There can be no success in the practical use of such a source of super-energy like controlled nuclear fusion until humanity succeeds in connecting with each other correctly.

Thought as Fuel for a Power Plant

200.01Scientists are struggling in search of new sources of energy. When a nuclear reaction occurs in the Sun or in a laboratory, energy is released that already existed in a latent form and it is just freed as a result of fusion. What is this energy that is hidden between people?

This is the greatest energy. In a nuclear reaction produced in a laboratory, we only split or combine material particles. While working with the energy that exists between people, we receive access to an unlimited source of energy. All this depends only on the relationship between people.

We will inevitably exhaust our ability to extract energy from inanimate, vegetative, or animate raw materials. We will have to add human desire here. This is a completely new approach, which is possible only if we have already mastered the inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels.

The energy of connection between people is unlimited because it belongs to the human level. In this way, we use the forces of nature acting between the Creator and the created beings. At the same time, we do not need to burn raw materials or split atoms. To do this, you do not need to create laboratories, you only need the thought of people who unite and think together about the way to jointly receive energy for the benefit of everyone.

The tank for producing this energy will also be only in thought. This thought, the purpose of creation, the connection of people, and mutual assistance will become an inexhaustible source of energy for us that is capable of providing all our needs.

If there is unity between us, unification in thoughts and desires, mutual help and support, and inner connection, then with our common desire we will come closer to the desire of the upper. In this form we use forces capable of maintaining such a connection between all the particles of matter, which produces energy of a higher level than all types of energy available to our imagination.

It will be the energy of the spiritual level, which appears simply from zero. This energy will give us light, heat, and it will work between us. We will be able to generate this energy with the power of thought alone.

We are talking about extracting from matter the concealed internal energy contained in it, which was placed there by the thought of creation. Then we will no longer need to build any power plants, we will receive energy without any auxiliary means, rather just in thought. It will be such energy that can be used for any purpose.

Even today we do not really understand what electricity is, we just learned how to use it. But here we are talking about the energy of a completely different level. However, the upper governance will not give us access to such super-energy until humanity corrects itself. We can come closer to it only if we want to use it only for the benefit of people.

To the extent that a person can act for the benefit of the other, for the sake of uniting people, he will receive permission to use the energy concealed inside matter. To do this, we need to short-circuit two forces on each other: the upper force of the Creator and the lower force of creation

New Year, Old Problems

1.01Judging by what is happening with humanity regarding the overall process of development, which is bound to lead us to the intended goal, we are facing a difficult period in the coming year 2023.

I hope that we will not reach a world nuclear war, and it seems unlikely to me. But nevertheless, difficult challenges are waiting for us all over the world. And in the end they will lead us to find a true solution and agree to change the relationships between us for the better.

These problems are already visible on the horizon: poor ecology, food shortages, and all kinds of natural disasters. All these problems will be very severe and will manifest themselves on a global scale; therefore, I am not greeting the new year with joy.

It is not just about war, but about the relationships between people. After all, a war can be ended somehow, but to correct human relations requires long study, clarity, the right approach, and a sense of pain that is exacerbated in every person and in all nations and countries.

Only if it becomes obvious to everyone that we have no hope for a better future if we do not get closer to each other, only under this condition will we embark on the path to a good future.

In the new year all the old problems that we already had in 2022 will intensify. After all, we have done nothing to eliminate them. First of all we need to survive this winter of 2022 – 2023, and only then will we see what happens next. There are big problems with drinking water, with food, and with wheat. I really hope that humanity will not destroy products, but will rather come to such a distribution between countries that there is enough for everyone to exist. But so far there is no solution to this.

The coronavirus epidemic is no longer so acute, but other problems will come that are even greater: new epidemics in the world in different forms. After all, if we don’t fix our relationships, then we let all these problems out and let them blow up human society.

It is hard to talk about it, but it looks like we have reached a critical point for our survival. We do not understand how weak man is and that we are in conflict with forces of nature that we cannot resist. Nature will come down on us with even greater force, with such floods and earthquakes that it will be impossible to live on this planet.

The main problems will be from the climate, and this is a difficulty because we cannot stop nature. Relations between warring countries can still be settled somehow. But it is impossible to resist the forces of nature and eliminate natural disasters.

There is only one way to do this—through the correction of relations between people, and we are very far from that. After all, human relationships require the consent of hearts to become closer to each other.

What is required here is not material acquisition, like the purchase of gas or oil, but rather a cordial attitude of one to the other. But we are absolutely not capable of this yet. That is why I look forward with anxiety to the future, which depends entirely on good relations between all people.

We are not able to open our hearts to each other. Everyone’s heart is locked with many locks and does not want to understand that the opening and rapprochement of hearts is the solution to all our troubles. And yet humanity has been given the opportunity to correct itself. We still have a chance. It is not hopeless.
