Comment: The largest trade agreement in history was forged between 15 countries during the pandemic. The main goal of the RCEP is to smooth the path of trade among the 15 Asia-Pacific nations and eventually pave the way for a comprehensive free-trade zone, in the style of the European Union or the old North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a trade pact between 15 nations in the Asia-Pacific region. In total it covers more than 2 billion people — about 30% of the world’s population. It promises income growth to every third inhabitant of the planet and gives hope for the revival of world trade and cooperation. The agreement united China and the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, including Australia, Japan, and South Korea.

The agreement allows trading partners in Asia to gain access to each other’s markets, reduces duties on goods, and improves living standards, especially for the poorest countries in the region.

Why not live like this? They set noble goals, however egoistic, but nevertheless, to provide income for people who are poor today, having nothing.

Answer: Yes, of course, people live badly there.

Question: Why do all the leaders not rise above their pride, join one union, and start slowly reviving our world, which is falling economically all the time?

Answer: I do not think it is possible. I do not even hope that they will have it all as rosy as they write. Someone has to win at the expense of someone who loses.

This is our world! Therefore, agreements are agreements, but then politics comes into play, petty egoism, and that is it.

Question: So, will we not be able to live normally in this world?

Answer: No. We will not. And these good impulses, they are all not really good. The point is, at the expense of what will they win? At the expense of whom will they win?

Question: Do you think one way or another, I have to suppress someone?

Answer: Our world is created this way.

Comment: They say that these are equal agreements.

My Response: That is what they always say: mutually beneficial conditions, mutual trade, and the welfare of nations.

Question: Tell me, please which union will work?

Answer: The one that has a different goal: to lead people to unity, to rise above themselves, above their egoism, above their nature. Otherwise, nothing will work.

Question: So, my goal, that I want to give welfare to a third or half of the world’s population, to the whole world, will not work anyway?

Answer: No.

Question: Should there be a goal for the people of the world to be able to unite?

Answer: Yes. Such a goal is in a state of good balance with the global force of nature, with the general development of mankind. Then, of course, it will work.

Question: Can you imagine leaders who say: “We are now uniting in order to…”?

Answer: They will explain that there is no reception against scrap, one cannot stand against nature. It turns out that going against this basic law of nature is like stepping back on some kind of rake. From this side or from a different side, under some other pretexts, it does not matter.

Question: So if people do not change, will they be like wolves to one another or be in competition with one another?

Answer: They are initially wolves. And they will not cover it with some good external affairs. This will come out and lead them to something bigger, perhaps, war among themselves.

Question: You are saying, if we are wolves, then we cannot achieve anything in this world?

Answer: Nothing. Only by suppressing each other, only by towering one above the other. We must play on our egoism.

Question: Whom does the wolf have to become for everything to happen? So that everything will be fine?

Answer: He must understand his wolf’s nature and also understand that in our time we cannot act in any other way but to become aware of our nature, and together, gradually counter it. It is not easy, but at least we must admit it.

Question: What would you advise these leaders in such a situation, in this world? If they were listening to you, what would you say? Start with yourselves?

Answer: Yes, start with yourself. Explain to each other, and write a general memorandum of your intentions and how you expect them to come true. This is possible only if you move alongside the development of nature so that your development coincides with its development.

We see how for millions of years, with humanity it has been for thousands of years, nature develops us egotistically and at the same time creates such conditions that we are obliged to somehow cope with this egoism, to balance it. And if not, then by war.

So, we have no choice but to first understand our nature, what state we are in, and what should be the path of our development—to realize that there must be a rapprochement between us above egoism.

Question: Is this your advice to leaders?

Answer: Yes. To admit that we are all egoists. It is not that hard. But the fact that we must work on it and get closer to each other is already a problem. How can we see ourselves rising above egoism and acting despite it? How can we weaken the egoistic ties between us and replace them with some altruistic ties, equal, which are based on mutual understanding, on mutual rapprochement? This is not easy.

Question: Would the law of mutual guarantee, which we are talking about, suit them? Can this be included in the memorandum?

Answer: In principle, it is implied that we will act in mutual assistance.

Question: Mutual assistance to what?

Answer: Economic mutual assistance, which stipulates global development, so that there is no one at the expense of others anywhere so that no one suppresses one another.

And how is this possible if we are in a closed space, in a closed world? We must initially define for ourselves the norms of our behavior, each relative to all. That is, it is like a group of 15 people who must work out some kind of system to come closer to each other.

Question: And if they decided to build some kind of common territory in which everyone will, in general, be happy with this connection, then should they follow these laws?

Answer: They must develop the population. They must explain to the population that the future of the world is in the good connection between people, otherwise there will be war, and in our time it can destroy them in a second.

A good connection is necessary in order not to lead these 15 countries to a fierce war, in which they have already been each in their own way, but now it can explode in general. So, this commonwealth will split into many different small communities that will start fighting among themselves, pulling the blanket, and that will be the end of it.

Comment: That is, this is the aspiration for a good connection.

My Response: Who will lead this good connection? Who will promote it, who understands what this kind of connection means? Who will counteract the egoistic individual politicians, each of whom, in turn, wants to climb above everyone and sit on everyone’s heads? This is the nature of our world. Who leads these countries? The biggest egoists.

Therefore, I do not know. Personally, I look at all this, just so it will not all explode.

If they do not follow the path of proper education of the population of their 15 countries, then in the end they will see how angry they are at each other, how much their inner egoism does not allow them to be in connection, even slightly, with each other, and eventually a trade war, a political war, will begin, and then the real war.

Question: So there is only one way—education?

Answer: Only education, changing a person.

Question: You say that over time we will not need an Internet connection, but only an internal, sensory one. What is it? Let’s say I’m several continents away from you, how will we connect through our senses instead of through Facebook or Skype for example?

Answer: You will not feel the need for an Internet connection. You will feel the need to rise from it to a more internal connection with each other. What is the use of me texting you? Because there is an inner desire to be in a closer connection (not virtual, but spiritual) when we feel each other telepathically. We are simply connected by this network.

Question: How can we uncover this telepathic network?

Answer: It is through desire, through mutual desire.

Usually such a desire exists in a mother with a child. She feels what is happening to him because she loves him, strives for him, and wants to feel him all the time. They have an open animal root between them (not spiritual, but animal) because she gave birth to him. At one point he was in her; a little creature was born out of her, and she feels it.

Question: How will such a desire be revealed to everyone?

Answer: On the account of it rising from within us. It also develops within us. After all, in comparison with inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature, we are developing, and will inevitably have to reveal this connection that initially exists between us in ourselves. Now it is still manifested on a low level as a connection of hatred, a desire to use each other, but in the end it will manifest itself in a different way.

Question: So this is a natural evolutionary process. Will it not depend on the person himself?

Answer: No, it will depend very much on the person. Otherwise, if this process goes by the way of evolution, it will be forced and painful, when nature will push us forward with a roller of development as it has been forcing us for millions of years.

If we want to go faster, not by the stick toward happiness, but with awareness, then we must understand nature, anticipate its next pressures on us, and help ourselves in this development. It is like an intelligent child who understands what is required of him and performs everything in advance, without expecting punishment. And punishment is not punishment, but simply coercion to correct development.

Question: What are your desires as a Kabbalist?

Answer: To see the world corrected. Really. After all, a sense of hopelessness awakens today in the world more and more. Of course, this is terrible and disturbing because hopelessness threatens us with a terrible explosion.

People do not understand what kind of explosion this is when humanity will simply burn. A person cannot extinguish himself; he will slowly burn out. Moreover, this is not just a physical fire, but a slow burning out from the inside, like with radiation from the consequences of nuclear explosions. This is horrible. A person will be gradually charred.

I convey these physical states in such words that we understand. Moral suffering will be much worse.
People have no idea what they are playing with. They believe that some kind of explosion is a solution. They do not understand that if such an explosion occurs, it will be too late.

I am very afraid of this. You see, I am not at the age to be afraid for myself. I feel sorry for humanity because along with this, it has a very simple, easy opportunity to bring itself to an ideal state, to eternal perfect life. Here it is in front of us, we just need to raise our heads a little.

When millions will be engaged in it, the methodology will immediately become clear. It could not be more understandable if it is the destiny of hundreds of thousands of people. But when it becomes the destiny of hundreds of millions, then it will instantly become clear for everyone.

If two hundred years ago a modern car had been shown to a person, he would not have been able to drive it. He did not have these skills: pull here, twist there, press the pedal here. Now, however, a child gets behind the wheel and drives because this is the destiny of billions of people. Therefore, it becomes the heritage of all.

Question: Does modern technology, meaning mobile phones, social networks, and everything else have some kind of spiritual root? Why did technology develop in this way?

Answer: Today humanity is developing only in the direction of communication and connection with each other because it is pushed to this by the upper governance.

What difference does it make to me why I should be connected with the whole world? Why do I personally need that? I would rather eat and sleep first. Family and children are in second place. Then there is work, salary, and so on. But why do I need this whole world? Why do I need to know what is going on here? Why do I need these eight billion bugs that are just swirling about in front of me?

But the thought of the upper governance is to bring us to a state of universal interconnection. Therefore, look at what is given to people: SMS, emails, iPads, and so on and so forth. Why do we need all this?

To ensure that we were tightly connected to each other and could not get away from it. Gradually, we will discover a great emptiness in this and realize that we must change this connection. After all, we will not be able to get away from it, but we will be obliged to change it. This is what we are being led to.

Replacing a technological connection with a sensory one is an irreversible process. No one can disconnect us from each other. All of our systems have developed to such a state that if some country switches something off, the whole world suffers.

It will also be impossible to disconnect; the general system will cover us completely. It will be both cosmic and terrestrial, and it will break through thousands of various paths.

Suddenly you will find that you are connected with absolutely all people on Earth. Just what do you do with them? You really want to be in contact, but there is emptiness around!

This is when humanity will begin to understand that connection between us is necessary. We will begin to reveal another world that will fulfill us. The fulfillment will come from our contact, and a good contact, not just a connection where I send you all sorts of smiles and you send them back to me, or something else. No.

When we begin to contact each other through feelings, then we will understand that we can find the source of our fulfillment in them and that without others I cannot be fulfilled. I will look for people by their character, by their desire, people who want to be together and be fulfilled from this. Then the Internet will be freed from the control of various businessmen who are trying to make money from it. We will not let them manipulate us.

There will be virtual revolutions on the Internet. We will throw off the yoke of the big media tycoons who rule there so insidiously that we do not even know what they are doing to us. Over time, all these Google, Wikipedia, and other huge companies will be remade.

We live in a world full of lies where there is no independent, objective media. You take a newspaper, read it, and try to find through the news published in it what is really happening. No one is interested in the opinion of the authors of these articles today because it is all very biased.

Thanks to the Internet, you visit several sites, read comments on some event, and see how the spectrum fluctuates from minus to plus, how opposite everything is, and how for an ordinary person there is no point in reading anything.

I read because I am interested in the views of different people in order to be able to explain my view. An ordinary person, however, devours this so-called analysis and comments. It is just awful the things they feed him there. Everything is by command. It depends on his party.

I remember, I had a friend, a member of one of the parties. He actively pursued a certain campaign, I do not remember for what. After the elections, he started saying completely opposite things. I asked: “How is this so? You used to say something completely different.” He replied: “The situation has changed.”

That is, absolutely no beliefs, goals, or ideals, nothing is taken into account. Only what you need specifically to win. That is it. The price is irrelevant: if it is necessary to say the opposite, we will say the opposite.

Since we still do not know how to act for the sake of the Creator, we must act for the sake of our group, for the sake of our friends. It is the same as in ordinary life, a person never lives only for himself. After all, he has parents, children, or even grandchildren already, and he lives for the sake of all of them.

Sometimes we hear that a person dreams of giving up everything and going to a deserted island to take care only of himself. But this is only out of desperation because a person should be connected with others.

Modern media connect us more and more closely to each other. As a result, we will feel like living together with the whole world, not just inside our computer, but inside our brain, our heart, from where it is impossible to escape. In this way, the Creator will obligate us to unite as one person with one heart.

Now we reject this connection, but it will certainly come, partly unconsciously and partly according to our own desire, for lack of another solution.

Everyone will be required to become specialists in the field of connection between people. Just as today everyone needs to know how to turn on a computer, enter a password, how to use email and other applications, so in the future we will need more and more knowledge in building a connection between hearts.

Question: As a Kabbalist, you feel the world differently than an ordinary person. Do you feel the general pain when something happens to the world?

Answer: And what do I do every day? Telling everyone and everywhere how to come to a better life not in a tragic way but gently, smoothly, quickly, and comfortably.

I feel the pain that all of humanity may experience.

Question: But not the current one?

Answer: The current suffering is not pain compared to what may happen. It is so small that it is not even worth talking about it.

Of course it is suffering. Of course it is a great torment. You look at the screen and see skeletal children without food, without drink, without medication, dying from infectious diseases. You see drug addicts and depressed people. And is it better for the rest? Look at what they are messing around with, what are they doing in general?

But compared to what may happen during this period when correction is realized not in a good way, but in an evil way… Can you imagine how much humanity needs to be beaten in order for it to correct itself, to turn it into awareness, from awareness to consent, and from consent to realization?

But here, it is right away—take it and implement it. Easy. After all, if the majority is together, then everything is easy.

Question: As a Kabbalist, can’t you see the current pressure on humanity as good?

Answer: No, I look at it based on what a person feels.

When parents punish a child and he cries, is it good? But they have no choice. He wants to do something bad, and they are trying to stop him. He resists with all his might, and then they punish him because it is impossible to explain anything to him in any other way.

They try to make him instinctively feel that if he uses egoism, he will be hurt: “If you are rude to someone, then know that you will get hurt accordingly. Do you feel pain? Yes, you feel it. The rudeness that you have allowed toward others, do you understand it? You do. Still doing the same thing? Then we will cause you pain until you decide that it is better without it. To that extent, you will stop being rude to others.”

Meaning, it is necessary to integrate the pain with the injury that he inflicts on society. This is the correction.

Imagine how much humanity needs to be beaten so that it understands that using egoism is to its own detriment, what must punishments be with every egoistic movement: internal—in thoughts, and external—in action.

Question: Is it our task to disseminate the wisdom of Kabbalah to people as widely as possible?

Answer: The task is not in the wisdom of Kabbalah, but in making a person understand that he is offered a method of existence in our changing world. After all, whatever one was taught and whatever one has is absolutely not enough for our world because it is beginning to be governed differently.

Today a new governance is descending into the world, the analog governance of the Creator. The upper world is approaching our world. Moreover, these two worlds are opposite and they do not coincide with each other, so there is a sense of contradiction between them. We feel this in the form of huge, global, internal crises.

Without understanding the singular analog control system where we have to perceive the world as one single whole, we will not be able to do anything. I will not be able to manage an enterprise, trade, world finance, the country, any part of it, or the common world—nothing!

Another matrix is being dressed on our world, a matrix which binds all people together. And if I don’t treat everyone this way, if I don’t make decisions on this basis, then I won’t succeed. It is like I’m solving this problem according to the wrong equation.

Therefore the world does not need any wisdom. It needs to know that tomorrow it will have nothing to eat and will not be able to escape from climatic, environmental, and other impacts. Tomorrow money will disappear. There will be some kind of problem in the world; revolutions will begin such that people will stop working. Millions of people in cities!

If earlier a person had a piece of field that could feed him, today billions of people live in cities! Looting and murder will begin; people will starve to death. After all, such huge conglomerates need to be supplied with thousands of truckloads of food per day! Imagine that nothing works—no ports, no railways, nothing is delivered, loaded, or accepted. And this can happen in more than one country. What’s next?

We need to explain the problem to the world as well as how to solve it! They themselves don’t have a solution. So what if they change the government? What can one person do?! How will he be able to restore order? How will he be able to overcome, say, a month of downtime in his country?!

Comment: But this has been the case throughout the entire development of mankind!

My Response: No! There was never such scale! There was no question at all that humanity should unite. Today this is a requirement from above.

Start looking at the world normally! It becomes integral, meaning, globally connected. And if we don’t look at it that way, if we don’t have such decision-making technology, then we won’t be able to do anything! Not a single banking transaction. You will, it seems, egoistically correctly calculate with your mind everything that needs to be done, and in the end: “We wanted the best, but it turned out, as always, the opposite.”
