Question: Joy is one of the main positive emotions in man, an inner feeling of satisfaction, fulfillment, pleasure, and happiness. Could this feeling be an indicator of advancement for a person who is engaged in self-development and at the same time feels joy?

Answer: For some yes and for some just the opposite. Joy is a feeling of achieving what you so desired in feelings, in attainment, in anything. And if a person sees that he is distancing from this goal, then he is sad.

Question: The sages say that there is no greater joy than the resolution of doubts. What does it mean?

Answer: If a person who is in doubt, in internal scrutinies, sees that he can rise above them, this causes a feeling of joy in him. After rising above them, he gets rid of doubts.

And if there are no problems, tasks, barriers, then there is nothing to build this fulfillment on.

Question: Must one first feel suffering in order to feel joy?

Answer: Joy is always a consequence of feeling a lower level and then reaching the higher one.

Question: In our world, we express a lot of states by the word “joy”: the joy of having watched a movie, the joy from a good job, from unity with friends. Why is our language so poor?

Answer: These are all reasons for the sensation that is called joy.

Comment: Communication as an informational interaction is based on the principle of feedback. You said that there is an opportunity to unite even if others do not know about it, and you cited the example of sages who could unite the whole world in themselves, but other people did not feel it.

My Response: It is not at all necessary that people feel this; the main thing is that the person who performs the unification should feel a connection with them.

Comment: But communication implies feedback, and it turns out that there is none here.

My Response: This is communication in which I do not need more than ten people. We are created in such a way that if I take nine more friends as my partners, then together we can create an absolutely complete, integral system that will be similar to the common, integral nature.

Question: So, even if only two people interact, there should still be feedback?

Answer: Yes. If we interact with each other in the ten, we will find in it absolutely all the laws of the universe: both spiritual and material.

Remark: Shame is inherent only in the human race and is subdivided according to levels of desire. The more developed a person is, the more often he has a state of shame.

My Comment: Shame is a feeling of imperfection. In animals, the sense of shame is completely absent. But sometimes, even in advanced people, this feeling can be completely suppressed. And people who are close to nature, more finely tuned, can feel shame.

Question: Shame is the most hated feeling for a person. People are willing to commit suicide rather than feel public shame. What is the root of this painful phenomenon for a person?

Answer: The fact that it affects the “I” of a person, his egoism, which is our essence. Therefore, for a selfishly developing person, shame is the biggest defeat. He can’t stand it.

Remark: They say that in the absence of witnesses, the feeling of shame does not arise.

My Comment: Yes. Usually, shame only manifests itself in relation to something or someone. In particular, regarding the specific rules that exist in the surrounding society. We always evaluate ourselves relative to our surroundings.

Question: You write that a person needs shame in front of the Creator. That is, to achieve this is a great means of correction. This feeling is awarded to high souls. What is this about?

Answer: If a person really begins to feel his connection with the Creator, then he already measures himself in relation to Him. This is where he feels shame as a means of ascent to the Creator.

About Leadership

Question: Do you consider yourself a leader?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What is the best quality of a leader that you can identify in yourself?

Answer: The immutability of the goal to which I direct all humans.

Question: Have you always been a leader, or has it come with time?

Answer: I think I was born that way.

Question: Which of the leaders of the past do you respect?

Answer: In addition to the biblical leaders, I respect the great Torah interpreters of all time. Because the Torah is a method of development of our world.

Question: Do you consider yourself a charismatic person?

Answer: No. I try not to hide my qualities from those close to me and to my students so that they can see absolutely all my weaknesses. I don’t think I need to pretend. A leader should not pretend. His idea needs to work, not he himself. He’s not the boss.

Question: Do you always prepare for public speaking?

Answer: Never! This may be a problem. I often find myself in such situations when I express an idea that I came to a public lecture within 15-20 minutes, and I have nothing to say. Then I pass the microphone to the audience, and they start directing me.

Question: Do you feel pleasure when you manage to convince anyone?

Answer: I don’t think it’s a pleasure from forcing or persuading someone. It is a pleasure from the fact that the purpose of creation, the system of the universe, is becoming clearer to a wide range of listeners.

Question: What do you do best? How do you develop this skill?

Answer: I don’t even think about what I need to be able to do. I teach and do it as much as I can. In addition, I process news, some materials, and all in order to teach.

Remark: Name the success of which you are particularly proud.

My Comment: With the help of my students, I created an organization that explains to humanity its next, corrected, highest state.

Remark: Name the failure you remember and what lessons you learned from it.

My Comment: My whole life is a huge number of small failures. But I don’t think it could have been any different.

Question: Does God or society choose the leader, or do you become one?

Answer: Only the upper force determines all our steps.

Question: Was your teacher a leader?

Answer: For a narrow circle of his students, he was the undisputed and absolute leader. But he is not a leader by nature. His father, I think, was a leader.

Question: How should we treat those people who do not work well? What effective methods of punishment do you know?

Answer: The most effective is the team. If the team is set up correctly, then the slightest flaw in the person in their place will immediately be perceived by the team members with negative feedback.

Question: The process of comprehension of information is very time consuming. And if you are also listened to in translation, as by your students for example, how realistic is it to hear you? After all, this information passes through the translator. Do you think you are being heard?

Answer: I hope they hear. The rest depends not on how much they hear, but how much they follow the guidelines.

In Kabbalah, you may not hear much or even understand the language at all. The main thing is that you really want to understand the upper purpose that we are talking about. And then this desire opens a channel for you to connect with the upper force, and you will begin to hear.

It all depends on your desire only.

Question: So hearing is not at all what we understand in our material sense organs?

Answer: Of course!

Remark: We do not know how to listen to each other. Even doctors interrupt their patients an average of 12 seconds after they start telling them about their ailments.

My Comment: The main thing for a doctor is to make a diagnosis and send the patient away. And this is natural because he needs to cope with a flow of patients.

In most cases, we believe that we know enough about the other person, and we have nothing to listen to, and it is better to express our opinion. Supposedly, this is what he expects from us.

It is the same with patients and doctors. Many patients come to the appointment because they need to speak out, and the doctor thinks that the patient wants to hear his opinion.

Question: It seems every speaker should be a psychologist. After all, if he understands the inner world of a person, he knows what to say to him, what points to press on so that he is moved. Does it work in integral education when we want to bring people together? Should I press on these points too?

Answer: Certainly. There even more so. You must put a person in certain states, not just one, but several, and direct them to be connected to each other and play certain forms of communication, behavior, connection, withdrawal. Based on these exercises, they should come to a certain conclusion.

Question: How does one correctly envision the image of the audience? Should one focus on a single person or perceive the audience in general?

Answer: I do not set out to envision the image of the audience because I consciously bring my message to them, and after a few phrases it begins to work in people, and they already relate in a certain way to me, to time, to the place, to what is happening.

I go out to people in order to unite them so that they in their connection begin to get a more accurate, higher picture of the world.

Question: What is the best way to behave with the audience: to be equal with them or to show them your superiority?

Answer: You should be a teacher, a tutor. More experienced, not higher. You should never put pressure on them. But where necessary, you can rein them in so that the educational process is not interfered with.

Question: How do you feel the need of the people who are sitting in front of you? How do you feel what your students are lacking?

Answer: I have to get them interested in the material, which I will explain. So I always start by telling them something new and special that they can listen to. I try to inspire them, make them wonder, and want to know what I want to convey to them. And then I introduce them to my vision of nature and society.

Question: Let’s suppose people are suffering from being lonely and you are invited to give a lecture on how to get out of this state. Should you know everything about this subject before talking about it?

Answer: I will tell them that a person exists one-on-one with his soul, with his requests. He comes into this world and leaves it alone. And the thing he can get in this world, he will not get anywhere else. This is why our world is so important.

And loneliness is given to us so that we understand ourselves more, to feel this world through it, etc. That is, I would praise the quality of loneliness and explain how to use it correctly.

Question: Is it better to prepare for a performance alone or as a team?

Answer: It’s better in a team of course. You are going to speak in front of a big audience after all, and advice from many is a desirable thing in this case.

Question: Do you think it is imperative to rehearse your performance?

Answer: No. But I used to sketch out several sentences for myself, often two or three lines.

Question: How can you win the audience over?

Answer: Show them that they are very important to you, you are not indifferent, and you want to tell them something useful for them. Show a little warmth.

Question: What is the best way to end the performance?

Answer: By the fact that only good lies ahead. This is very important for a person.

The essence of human relations is in the emergence of a common general state. But even before it appears, all kinds of positive and negative impressions, understandings, and relationships begin to emerge in each of the two people who are communicating. And something new that was not there before is born from their encounter.

This all depends on how prepared we are for interconnection between each other by our previous upbringing. This is why we need to worry not about the interactions themselves but about how we prepare people for them. Like a mother who is sending her little son to kindergarten, or to school, or even to visit a friend, she instructs him how to behave, how to perceive others, etc.

A completely new feeling is formed in each of us this way, the feeling of perceiving another. From our mutual perception, these sensations turn into something common. Therefore, the goal of education is what kind of common platform we want to see between us.

Question: Anything that we feel as a lack causes fear in us. It can be a lack of money, security,  knowledge, health, or confidence in the future. We are always overwhelmed by a feeling of inner panic because we are missing something.

Is it possible to say that a person develops due to fears?

Answer: Yes. It is a very powerful developmental agent. The basis of fears is the need to preserve one’s existence. But they can be controlled.

Question: Is it possible to get rid of fear at all?

Answer: No. Only if we turn off the mind. Fear is an instinct for self-preservation.

Question: A person cannot satisfy his own needs. But society can. Can you get rid of fear only through communication with society?

Answer: Yes. Society can give a person such a quality of confidence and support that fear will disappear to a certain extent. It is very difficult for a person to do this except only with the use of a special technique, and only in a limited form.

Question: Is there also such a thing as fear for others?

Answer: Fear for others is a feeling of belonging with others.

Question: When a person is afraid for his family, it is understandable. Is it possible to develop a sense of fear for complete strangers?

Answer: Yes, of course.

Question: It turns out that a person does not need to get rid of fear. Is it enough to direct the vector toward others?

Answer: We should not get rid of anything but only treat correctly all the properties of our body.

We need to come to the highest, general sensation of the space in which we are so that all our properties cause in us the ability to measure everything, feel everything, cognize everything, and ultimately achieve one common integral sensation of nature.
