For the Whole World to Be Similar to the Light

928Question: You say that the Creator never changes. Let’s say we are trying to think about someone so that the difficult situation facing the person will change. And it is really changing in the direction we think about.

If the Creator does not change, then how does reality change? For example, a person went to take tests knowing that he had some kind of illness, but it turned out that everything was fine.

Answer: The fact is that human qualities change in which he sees himself and the world around him as different.

There is nothing outside of us! Everything about us can change instantly. Moreover, changes occur either inside or supposedly outside. A Kli is multifaceted.

We simply have not yet encountered serious spiritual actions in our world, nor have we come close to spirituality to see how much it changes our world.

Now nature will slowly accustom us to this with all kinds of cataclysms, sudden changes in us and outside of us, so we will be convinced that there is nothing absolute in the world, everything is relative and depends only on our inner state, because our inner attitude to ourselves and to others actually paints a picture of the world for us. The whole picture of the world is like in a movie; I can order it with my inner change.

In a matter of seconds you can change absolutely everything, like ordering a movie on television, or logging on to the Internet and choosing a picture. It all depends on you because apart from you there is only a flashlight, and you paint the whole picture only with your qualities. It is all in you.

Question: But if I have a certain path, how can I draw another path for myself?

Answer: The path does not matter! It all depends on your attitude toward the path; it paints you a picture of the world. In fact, when you look at the world, you see your attitude toward it, toward the Creator, toward people. It is an attitude, it is not the world itself.

Everything we study: sounds, colors, all kinds of notes, words, images, parts of the world, times, any temporal, spatial, sensory axes along which we act, and the relationships between ourselves and others, all this is inside us. I can change it, own it arbitrarily, build a picture of the world, rearrange this mosaic as I like: countries, sides, perceptions, sensations. Everything is inside me. I can do all this arbitrarily however I wish. If I own it all, there is no problem.

Question: Is this what you do?

Answer: No, I do not do this, I do not need it. You have to be an important person to do that. But why? I am just talking about this possibility. We all need to put together a good picture of the world when the whole world would be like the light, the absolute. It is possible. But we need to put this mosaic together ourselves.

We Can only Dream of Peace and Quiet

276.03Comment: You say that a person should develop in many ways. But as a rule, there is some association or community that builds a framework and walks within that framework all the time.

My Response: That is natural. These include religions, all kinds of spiritual practices, and everyday cultures of humanity. In this way, people create a reliable environment for themselves within which they exist in confidence, and it supports them.

But for a Kabbalist, it is like death. He needs to constantly develop, change, transform his environment, and feel highly unconfident so he would have a need to hold on to the Creator and the group. He has a need to find his support in bestowal and love for the others rather than in the notion “my house is my fortress.”

Question: Does it mean that “we only dream of peace”?

Answer: You bet! And you should not dream of it; it is bad. “We only dream of peace” when I am forced to come out of the state of rest, and not that I am pulled out of it. I exit this state on my own into the raging inner world where I feel completely lost every time, and it is precisely because of this that I am ready to cling even to love for the neighbor.

Question: Does it mean that the step your students are taking is one of the many steps ahead?

Answer: Yes, of course. And the entire humanity will go this way. We are only beginning to shake. Ahead of us are even bigger social and natural disasters. We will have no choice but to look for a true and serious decision.

There will be no escape. It is like an exploded volcano. Imagine that it is really erupting, approaching you, enclosing you, the day becomes night, and this will be for the next couple of years. The temperature drops to the negative 40 to 50 degrees. What can you do here? You can oppose these forces of nature only with the spiritual force. Only! You have nothing else.

A Science That Encompasses All of Existence

214The Book of Zohar has been regarded as a special book for thousands of years, one that is universally respected. I see in practice that a person who begins to acquaint themselves with Kabbalah approaches it with great respect.

They see that the science of Kabbalah speaks about absolutely everything and covers all of existence—our psychology, social relationships, theory, practice, history, geography—everything one can imagine in our world. It explains all the roots of the world, all the sources of what happens, and all its purposes.

Furthermore, Kabbalah explains the cycles of souls, our state beyond the material world, and how we can practically achieve this today. It addresses what our freewill consists of, if it exists at all. It shows how we can change our perception of reality, how we can alter this reality and ascend to a level equal to the Creator, to control the Creator.

This means we can change our life, ourselves, humanity, all of nature, and even the Creator—no matter how strange this may sound. All of this is given to us. The science of Kabbalah speaks to a person about absolutely everything. It is above all that exists because it grants us new qualities and new possibilities.

The question is whether we can become a little smarter and consider in advance, before any disasters strike, that it might be worth paying some attention to building a more reliable foundation for our lives on Earth.

After all, many predict that in twenty years, there will either be an ice age or, on the contrary, a rise in global temperatures. Not to mention the possibility of “frying” ourselves in some nuclear war.

Kabbalah provides the means to restrain all of this, to manage it, to achieve harmony, where everyone will have everything they need, and everyone will suddenly come to peace. We will stop dividing borders, oil, and everything else, and will simply reach a completely new common denominator in our relationships. Isn’t that a good thing?

For this, a person simply needs to open a book and study a little or join us through the Internet or through any of our programs, lessons, lectures, or television.

Where Is the Express Train of our Life Headed?

214Comment: Scientists say that digitalization is accelerating, but the problem is that we do not know exactly where this express train is headed. We understand many processes will go faster and this will change our lives. We know nothing except the speed at which we are moving.

My Response: We have always developed this way. Has humanity ever ordered a program for its development? The Bolsheviks wanted to build communism. What came of it? Socialists with socialism, and Capitalists with capitalism. What came of it?

Humanity has never made any plans of its own and then implemented them when they voted and went to implement them and then had everything work out. It has never happened in my life or throughout history. And now we are doing the same thing. Only time is accelerating, nothing else.

Comment: If a person had the whole arsenal of tools and knew the way, would there always be some kind of error at the end?

My Response: What error? On the contrary, everything works out! The error is exactly the opposite.

Question: Why doesn’t this lead to even more destruction?

Answer: There are protective forces of nature that trip us, the foolish, and redirect the express train of history just in time. They put us on a different track so we do not plunge into the abyss altogether.

Question: So are we initially going down the wrong path?

Answer: We are still following the path nature leads us on. The fact that we agree with it or not speaks only about the comfort of this journey. You are riding in a cushioned carriage or riding on buffers between cars or riding on the roof.

Comment: At some point will fate turn you in a certain direction?

My Response: It will not turn you anywhere. It leads you where you need to go.

Comment: Researchers say many fear losing their jobs in this chaotic world when, with the development of technology, their professions will no longer be in demand.

My Response: This will happen anyway.

Comment: This fear generates dangerous trends in society, and they cannot be suppressed by force. Some experts say that people should not just be retrained and given another profession to replace the outdated one; they should be integrated into a system of continuous education throughout their lives.

My Response: That is right. This is what the science of Kabbalah has been saying for many years. We need to educate people and create huge enterprises to re-educate the masses. There will be classes in applied arts, music, dance, all kinds of games, psychology, everything.

Most importantly, they will all follow one principle: connection among people, a positive connection. That is all and nothing more is needed.

Comment: Scientists say that everyone’s inner willingness to change depends on whether we can offer people some kind of perspective.

My Response: This is the perspective. When we are connected among ourselves, in this connection, we will begin to feel new phenomena of our life, new stages of our life, a whole new life, a life that will lift us above time, above our physiological states. We will enter a completely different arena.

Comment: They also say that we need to show some perspective, but we do not know what it is.

My Response: Eternity, perfection, goodness, great achievements, attainments, and entry to a new space—all this must be given to people. They need to be shown this: what man was created for, what he should achieve, what he should begin to feel, why this is before him, and how he can achieve it—precisely through the correct connection between people.

In the connection of people, in “Love your neighbor as yourself,” when you begin to exist in good, correct contact with others, within this contact, you find the entrance to the next world.

Comment: So the world is simply collapsing from all sides.

My Response: Nothing is collapsing! On the contrary, we are entering the next degree. We are not destroying anything.

Question: Alexander Asmolov, Director of Humanitarian Policy at a major Russian university, says: “Our problem is that we teach people to adapt. Not to change with the world, but only to adapt to the current conditions. This hinders our readiness to face challenges that have not yet occurred.”

How can we help a person to change rather than adapt?

Answer: We have nothing to adapt to. Our world is becoming such that by constantly adapting to it, we are coming to a dead end. Then we fall with the world. But we need to separate, we need to start rising. It depends only on our good connection with each other. That is all.

Therefore, the correct result of our engagement with society, with this generation, should be that they will be able to unite among themselves and begin to feel the next level of the universe in this connection.

Comment: Scientists also say that our psyche is capable of working in constantly changing conditions, that each person has unique opportunities for reflection, critical understanding of the world, and changing stereotypes. They say the most important is that we have a tolerance for uncertainty. So It seems that people are internally ready for this new state. What will trigger it?

My Response: The way out is to reveal the science of Kabbalah to the world. Nothing else, because there is no other method that is even close to it. That is first. Second, people must reach a point where they are willing to listen.

Comment: What can we wish for a person who has his entire inner structure ready, has potential, and only needs to take a step forward?

Answer: He should clearly pursue the question: “What is the meaning of my life?”

The meaning of life is in understanding its purpose. And the goal is not within life itself. The meaning of life is above this body. This is what we need to attain.

The Next Phase Of Human Development

Does the System Control Us or Do We Control the System?

929Question: Scientists have come to the conclusion that the human immune system uses chaos theory for the efficient functioning of the body.

Chaos theory says that the cause of chaos is sensitivity to initial conditions and parameters, and any small change at the initial level eventually leads to large changes and dynamics in the entire system.

They give as an example the “butterfly effect”—a butterfly flapped its wings on one side of the world and a hurricane occurred on the other.

Scientists say that in the immune system such a “butterfly” turns out to be a certain protein that triggers the activation of individual genes and thereby changes the state of the cells.

The immune system, in order to respond to the behavior of this protein, which is also very sensitive and changes its behavior, acts differently each time. That is, not formally, but in, as it seems, a very chaotic  order. That is, it is constantly updated, and various processes occur.

It does not stagnate; thus vulnerability does not accumulate, and it is able to repel various attacks.

Does society also move according to this chaos theory, in the dynamics of chaos? What is the correct way for a person in society and for society itself to move toward development, and not toward destruction, diseases, and so on?

Answer: First, we must understand that we study nature based on our own properties. And we ourselves are chaotic; there is absolute chaos in us, in the way we understand, know, and feel. That is, we do not know ourselves at all, and therefore we consider ourselves unpredictable and chaotic, and we consider the surrounding world to be the same.

But in reality, nothing random happens in it. Everything is built on strict, clear laws of nature, but we do not see them all together; we do not understand and do not see their interdependence.

There is nothing random in nature and there is no chaos. So if some butterfly somewhere flaps its wings, it means that it is absolutely certain that it should flap them. All this is strictly defined, established, and recorded in nature both billions of years ago and for billions of years ahead. Otherwise, nothing happens in nature.

Comment: The system is so complex, and it is updated every time.

My Response: This happens in front of our eyes because we do not see deeper processes! We do not see the system that governs all this!

Where is this entire computer, this entire huge program that manages all of nature? We do not see it.

Question: Once upon a time, the Indians who lived on the plateau over which airplanes flew simply did not see them. How can a person break through to this reality where something is happening?

Answer: One must focus their vision on something specific. They need to have a pre-existing concept in their mind, templates such as “airplane” or “ship.” Without these, they truly will not see it. We operate within a system that can very precisely identify something—or fail to—depending on whether it is encoded in our genes, attributes, or memory.

It is like a computer. Essentially, we are computers. For instance, a computer scans texts or images for specific features, and if those features are not in its database, it will not recognize them. Similarly, we have blind spots where we do not see that we lack the framework to perceive.

Comment: The scientist Mensky, who deals with quantum physics, says that between neurons in the brain, “rails” are laid down along which a person moves and cannot turn aside. It turns out that his whole life passes as if with blinders on his eyes. That is, he walks along one track and cannot turn away.

My Response: Naturally. We see this in ourselves and in those around us.

Question: At the same time, Mensky believes that at one moment there are an infinite number of alternatives to various situations. How can a person switch, to be in such dynamics every time? How can one stay in the dynamics of the system? And what will help him constantly switch?

Answer: No, that is not the right approach. Simply switching back and forth does not produce the desired effect.

One must understand that we are driven by the upper force, the unified force of nature, which is itself called “nature.” We can influence this unified force only by gathering in homogenous groups with a shared goal, collective efforts, and mutual support. Through such unified action, we can influence nature with our desires and trigger specific outcomes, positive ones, not harmful ones.

In this way, we can genuinely affect this vast supercomputer in which we exist. Even then, our actions will primarily accelerate our development toward the same goal, but along a kinder, smoother path.

If we align ourselves with each other and desire the same goal that nature has determined for our development, we can hasten our progress with collective effort. However, these efforts must be collaborative.

Question: In one of your Twitter posts you wrote that the upper system operates on us, and we recognize this influence as negative only due to our difference in properties. How can we perceive this positively, as a good influence, in all our actions?

Answer: To do so, we must understand nature’s goal, why it influences us, and how it does so. We must be prepared in advance to correctly accept these influences.

If I understand who is sending these influences, why they are sent, and where they are meant to lead me, then, in principle, I can remain in a comfortable state at all times and be ready to contribute more and more of my own effort to nature’s influence upon me.

Try to understand what nature expects of you and implement this in your life. Then you will see how quickly, smoothly, and positively you can move forward.

Question: How can a person recognize what nature requires from him?

Answer: Nature requires something that we do not like to hear: “Love thy neighbor as thyself.”

Comment: People ask: “Why do something good for the neighbor? It is easier to just remove them and destroy them, and then I do not have to do anything good for anyone.”

My Response: But by doing this, I am removing my own progress in life. That is, I do not move myself toward a better goal.

The ultimate goal of our development is for all of us to unite as one single whole, through our desires, thoughts, intentions, plans, everything. We collectively form one enormous interconnected system. However, in our current perceptions and understanding, this system appears fragmented. We feel distant from one another, unaligned, indifferent, unwilling to listen to or help each other.

Nature’s vision for our future is the opposite: for all of us to unite and connect all our desires and intentions into a single, mutual system of support.

If I strive toward this, even in small ways, I am already aligning myself with the goal that nature has set for me. As a result, I will not need harsh corrections or even painful nudges from nature to push me forward.

Question: So with my actions, do I cause the same reaction in another?

Answer: Yes, I show him that I am doing this because in this way I want the best for both myself and him.

Question: Can we reorient people with such an approach?

Answer: Try. Show others that by doing good for them, you increase goodness in the world and want the entire world to be this way.

Trust or Verify: How to Trust Others

272Comment: Currently, society faces a growing trust crisis in the media, the government, and among individuals. We see a lack of understanding of what trust is and how to nurture it.

My Response: This happens because our egoism has grown and demands entirely new relationships: clearer, more connected, rougher, and tied to each other. Each of us has significant egoism, and everyone desires greater independence from others. That is the first reason.

Secondly, this coincides with societal, technological, and lifestyle development. Today I can live independently and provide for myself without worrying about others. But to bind oneself through family ties, friendships, workplace relationships, or otherwise, requires effort, sometimes considerable effort.
Thus, in today’s world it is challenging to compel people to connect with others. They only do so for tangible rewards or when absolutely necessary.

Question: What is trust?

Answer: Trust is when I rely on another person according to an agreement that we have mutually established.

Question: What underlies trust?

Answer: Trust is based on the hope for another’s perspective, assistance, or support.

Question: Can you depict an ideal state where trust exists?

Answer: This is only possible when people realize that they are part of an interconnected system and fully interdependent. They need to uncover this complete interconnection. Only then can we discuss a society where individuals feel unity, exchange efforts, and work and care for one another.

Right now, this does not exist. Even our systems—healthcare, finance, everything we have built—serve to divide society.

Comment: Decades ago for example, in the Soviet Union, there was a certain level of trust—people could leave a key under the doormat, and not lock the door when they were at home.

My Response: It is not about whether the door to an apartment is open or closed. The point is that people are closed off from one another by their internal door: “I do not want to hear what is happening to another person. It does not matter to me at all.”

But we acknowledge that without a universal, correct approach to our nature—aimed at its correction—we will not progress. Superficial fixes will not help.

Question: How do we achieve this?

Answer: We must recognize that egoism is at the core of our nature and learn to work with it so it becomes a helper rather than a hindrance. This is a long-term upbringing of society.

Question: Is it possible to restore trust between one person and another, independently of the macro-world?

Answer: No, that is impossible. Everything is one system. We have reached a stage where the world is integral, and in an integral system the particular and the general are equal. Therefore we will not be able to fix relationships even between two people, even between a guy and a girl who want to build their relationship on some level of trust. No, they are part of society and will relate to each other in the same way as it happens in society.

That is why everything is falling apart on all levels simultaneously.

Question: What will be the turning point? What will trigger some other process?

Answer: The turning point will come with the recognition of evil. To achieve this, widespread dissemination and explanations are needed to make people aware that we are leading ourselves to the brink.

Question: What is the formula for trust?

Answer: Trust is the realization and sensation of inner connection among us. Its manifestation at every moment and in every state is what defines trust. Otherwise, it does not exist.

Trust is a profound force, the foundation of any state or society. It bonds all members into a single system where they need nothing more than the sense of being part of one network, entirely dependent on one another. That is where the concept of “trust” originates.

Question: What about confidence?

Answer: Confidence stems from a sense of connectedness among us.

Question: Is it akin to faith in another person?

Answer: Faith is a property of bestowal, which also arises from my sense that we are interconnected.

Trust is when I use the system of connection between us, which exists and reveals itself to me. To the extent that it is revealed, I am in mutual connection with others. This is trust. It is not something that does not exist, which I supposedly create. This is completely incorrect. I make use of purely psychological and physical elements for this.

Comment: Suppose one person says to another, “I do not feel like you are doing anything, so I cannot trust you.”

My Response: Right. He does not feel it, but someone else does. We need to make it so that everyone feels that we are in one connection, one dependency, one network, and then, inevitably, we will treat each other differently.

I do not need to know what each of them feels! I only need to know that in this way, I depend on them, and they depend on me, and everything I do toward them comes back to me. This needs to be taught, shown, and explained, to open people’s eyes.

If we want to do something serious, this requires serious desires, serious foundations. People must understand that if they begin to delve into the meaning of life, into the origins of life, into the reasons for life, why a person exists, how he was created, and what drives him, then this is serious work on oneself.

The Key Secret of Useful Information

959Question: It is said that whoever controls information controls everything. But in recent years, with the advent of new technologies, information has not only become abundant; it has become excessively abundant! Managing it has become incredibly difficult. Psychologists argue that people are now experiencing information stress.

What is information? Why do we crave it so much? And why, even understanding that it’s “garbage,” are we afraid to lose it?

Answer: We feed on this “garbage,” these “wastes.” For us, losing this “waste” means losing our nourishment. And humanity is terrified of that.

It cannot absorb proper, truthful, natural information, information that speaks of relevance, necessity, or truth. It thrives on yellow, gray news, on airing “dirty laundry.” This is what sustains it.

This is how modern society has raised humanity up. And we can see the consequences. Of course, if you remove all this fake content and leave only the truth, people would howl. What would they consume then?

Question: Why is humanity so drawn to information? What is it looking for in information?

Answer: Modern humans cannot live without it. It is the environment in which they exist. Taking it away would be like separating them from home, family, work, or anything else. But separating them from information would be even more devastating because it fills them from within.

Without a flow of information, a modern person would simply lose their mind.

Question: What is “correct” information?

Answer: Correct information is that which reveals my role in this world to the extent that I can bring positive influence to it and, in turn, receive positive influence from the world.

Question: You say that correct, truthful, and genuine information would be completely unpalatable, undesirable?

Answer: People don’t want to hear the truth! Truth is painful. Truth is unpleasant. They want to hear what pleases them: a bit of gossip, a bit of sex, a bit of fear, a bit of joy, all in measured doses, carefully controlled by specialists.

Question: What does information mean to a Kabbalist?

Answer: For a Kabbalist, information means something entirely different. They are not interested in what people argue about via cables or other communication methods. They are interested in a connection with the upper force, from which all actions, conditions, and events in our world originate. When a person has this connection, they need nothing else. It allows them to be everywhere and in everything simultaneously, in both worlds.

Question: Suppose you were given control of all media outlets. How would you present information,  what kind?

Answer: I would leave everything as it is now and gradually, in small, controlled doses, introduce “medicine”—more correct information. Information that supports positive changes in a person, develops a sense of truth, self-control, and so on. This way, people would begin to adapt correctly to their surroundings, understand their nature, the nature of the world around them, and their ultimate purpose.

We, Kabbalists, are waiting for humanity to reach the revelation of evil—the revelation that it exists in evil, in lies, that it feeds on substitutes. To the extent that we realize this is all trash, literal poison, we will gradually be able to replace fake information with correct information that nurtures us.

Why do I need information? To form my understanding of the world and transform myself in alignment with a new world. This information should be correct, truthful, and, most importantly, caring.

The World Is a Reflection of the Spiritual System

933Question: When egoism manifests between us, we can hold a seminar and rise above the situation. But if we do not take any action, will it lead to any devastating events in the world?

Answer: The entire world is a reflection of the inner spiritual system, which is its central part and influences the state of the entire world, especially when this inner part already is beginning to determine the general state of the world, as it happens in our time, in our generation.

Our generation is called the “last generation” because a certain group of people has emerged in the world that can begin to correct it through themselves.

Moreover, the world does not need to resemble us. Our aspirations toward unity will bring about its unification, and the world does not need to understand how this happens. It will happen unconsciously in it.

We are consciously working on our unity, on becoming similar to the Creator, and humanity will follow this just as the body follows the head and carries out its instructions.

Therefore we do not have to think about what form the world will take; it all depends entirely on what form we will take. And those who feel a connection with us will join us. Therefore the most important thing is our unity.

What Do We Need to Convey to the World?

254.01In our time, spreading Kabbalistic knowledge has become the greatest and most important condition. The Creator is waiting for the correction of the entire Kli, absolutely all of it.

And only to the extent that you strive to give to others, to draw others closer, can you say that you are working for bestowal. All your other actions, aside from dissemination, are still egoistic, no matter how you look at it.

We engage in dissemination solely to tell people that they must unite.

For the people, unity means a better, safer, more pleasant life. But for us, unity means bringing the shattered parts of the common Kli closer to the Creator. To the extent of mechanical unity, the upper light impacts them and thus helps them unite even more.

For the people, this does not matter. What matters to them is that it guarantees their good future. That is what we need to convey to the world. Today, the world desperately needs unity! The global world is completely divided and fractured. It is a terrible state!

I will tell you only one thing: you are currently underestimating this, but the descents, ascents, and the time each of them takes all depend only on the intensity of our outreach to the public, the masses.

Who Will Wake Humanity Up?

222We live in a transitional period, from a state of hibernation of humanity to the aspiration to the Creator, that is, to the revelation of the meaning of life.

The revelation of the meaning of life is also just a transitional process where we must rise to the next new state. The transition begins when we start questioning what the meaning of life is: “Why do we need all this? For what?”

The nature of our life, no matter how hard we try, and we really do try very hard, shows us that it is useless and meaningless. As a result, people get detached from the surrounding world; people replace their pleasures with drugs, the most universal means of calming oneself and turning oneself into a plant. After all, this is better than suffering: switch off and that is it.

But since the plan of nature surrounds us and embraces us on all sides, we are inside the system, and escaping from life by using drugs will not help us at all. That is why humanity is trying many ways to somehow calm itself down.

Look at what is happening in the world, what transformations are taking place everywhere, entire nations are moving from one place to another, Europe is filled with refugees.

And this is not the same migration that happened a thousand years ago when the peoples of Asia began to move to Europe. Now this is a very serious process, a process of intermixing; people still must answer the question about the sense of life and admit that there is no meaning to existence at our level.

What can we do? We need to reveal Kabbalah and explain to them that there is a meaning to life; it is in the transition of a person to the next level. Man, “Adam” in Hebrew, is from the word “domeh,” which means “like the Creator.”

They must know that there is a method that is specifically created for us; our progress and development should raise us to the next level. After all, the next level must manifest in us, if not in this lifetime, then in the next. Our next life cycles will still force us to reach the level of similarity to the Creator.
