How to Skip to a Happy End
Question: Must I personally experience that there is evil in me? Is it mandatory? Is it impossible to skip this stage?
Answer: No, it is impossible to slip past this. Nature will rake us over and tear our living flesh. There is nothing we can do about this. It won’t help us to simply agree, as if we agree are trained dogs ready to sit up and beg.
Because here we must realize the entire depth of our nature, our terrible, egoistic nature, and acknowledge it, and even voluntarily, without pressure from nature, want to change ourselves.
In other words, it must be a transformation. Even though it will occur under the influence of external suffering, we must realize this inwardly, within our minds, in our inner qualities. We must ask nature to change us.
Question: But is it still possible to avoid reaching that point? You started very harshly: “Man must go through this.”
Answer: The more I get to know people, the more I love animals.
Question: So, you see, man is so stiff-necked, right?
Answer: Worse than all.
Question: Man is the worst of all. He won’t do it on his own?
Answer: No, he won’t do it on his own, he cannot do it. The system is designed that way… The only question is why does nature drive us into such a trap? It is because one can realize the deficiency of one’s nature relatively easily and draw conclusions from it.
And practically everyone will agree with this: from terrible villains, murderers, and so on, to normal people. Everyone will agree that our nature is cruel, that we cannot in any way get along with each other.
What, then, can we do? “Let us be good!”
No, we cannot! Systematic Kabbalistic education is needed that will explain how to draw the good forces of nature upon us. And these good forces will gradually change us over many years.
Question: So your conclusion is this: we cannot change ourselves; we can only draw the positive forces of nature upon ourselves, and they will change us. Is this unequivocal?
Answer: By ourselves we certainly cannot. Nature can, but depending on how much we are able to attract it to ourselves, to implore it to change us.
Comment: I would like to end this topic a little more optimistically.
My Response: There is a happy ending, but one cannot skip straight to it.
But what can we do? We can view what is happening realistically and try, nevertheless, again and again, through small increments, small injections, try to add to human consciousness with a level of suprahuman awareness.
Comment: This is your constant nudging in this direction, in the good sense. You are nudging, nudging.
My Response: There is nothing else.
Question: Do you want to drip this message into humanity so that it understands that there is no other path?
Answer: Yes. This will take root. But it requires a great deal of time and effort.
