Question: In principle, Kabbalah is intended for the middle class. After all, people who stand a little higher are concerned about preserving everything they have achieved. And those who are lower are thinking about how to feed themselves. Does it mean that the middle class is the most optimal for studying?

Answer: Yes. I think that as a result of the crisis, the middle class will be the most affected, and it will be possible to talk to them.

On the one hand, these are developed people. On the other hand, they are not devoted to their egoism for some higher purposes and at the same time cannot afford to descend to the level of homeless people and be concerned with just getting a piece of bread for themselves.

Of course, they need a piece of bread, but besides that they have other needs. We need to tell them where to fill these needs. I think they will find it in Kabbalah.

Question: Igor asks: “I am an empath; I am physically shaken by the troubles that are happening around. How can I learn not to empathize?”

Answer: No, it is necessary to empathize. This is how we were created. We just need to create a parallel system in ourselves that will understand why everything negative is happening. In order for us to complement this with a positive to extinguish this negative.

Comment: Igor writes that he is deeply shaken by what is happening, he empathizes with it.

My Response: Nothing of this is needed. Absolutely! It is necessary to relate to this very simply.

Everything in the world is in an exceptional form. It depends only on us as to how these opposing forces and phenomena will complement each other to absolute, complete perfection. That is what we need to desire.

Question: Reveal the secret; how do you see it all? We see it quite differently. Look at what is happening: wars are being prepared there; weapons are being accumulated over there; people are dying and close to death from hunger in other places. So, he says it shakes him deeply. How can you say, everything is in a state of perfection?

Answer: First, it is necessary to try to reach the feeling of the Creator, who manages all this, and manages it absolutely calmly, methodically, and with love. And He already sees the beginning, the middle, and the end in one absolute state. This is the first.

Second, everything that happens in the world happens inside of us. Inside of us, only inside of us, and not somewhere outside where stars explode, something falls down, something is being done. This is how it seems to a person. For this, we just need to read a little bit of Kabbalistic materials regarding the impression about the world, the universe, about what is happening. It is all inside of us and only inside of us. And if we change our qualities, then accordingly we will change our perception of the world, and we will see a completely different world.

How could it be? After all, I can see who is killing whom, who is doing something with someone. Look at what is going on in the world! Just evil, only evil. It is because that is how I look at it, at this world.

Comment: So you say in a simple way: inside me is war, I see war; inside me is evil, I see evil; inside me is hate, I see hate.

My Response: Yes. This is called an “egoistic, individualistic perception of the world.”

Question: So, this is my correction?

Answer: Change yourself and you will see a different world. And what is it like in general? It is nothing! A simple light flooding the entire universe.

Question: Am I in front of this light?

Answer: To the extent that I can imagine it. And not further. But I think we are getting closer to it.

Question: Do you have such a feeling?

Answer: Yes, I hope that it is getting closer and closer and more tangible

Question: And a person will be able to understand that if he changes, the world will change?

Answer: It is very easy. It will suddenly be simply as usual for people, why didn’t we see this before?

Question: It will not be like a discovery of America?

Answer: No. People will just talk about it as if it was also so yesterday. So, it was not there yesterday, you didn’t see it. You say “yesterday”?

Who?! We?! How could it be?

Question: Are you talking about what a person would possibly say: “I’ve changed, the world has changed”?

Answer: He will not even realize that he has changed; it will be so natural.

Question: Just the world will change, that’s all?

Answer: Yes. He’ll live in a different world.

Question: But is it going to happen because of his internal efforts that have been going on all the time?

Answer: But not everyone made internal efforts. But in general, it will happen anyway.

Question: Who does it, a person, or is it done by the light, the Creator?

Answer: The light of course! But we need to ask very hard for the light to do this with us.

Instead of maintaining connection between us and filling each other, we, with our egoistic properties, want all the needs of others, their desires and empty spaces, to be ours. We try to fill them and as a result remain empty and unhappy.

But why should I envy because I cannot fulfill myself anyway! “Others have it, and I should have it.” I begin to work seriously, I earn, I fulfill the desires adopted from others and do not experience any pleasure because they are not mine; they should not be realized in me, but in them!

And what is the result? I worked out too much, spent my life on it, tried to fill other people’s desires in myself, and I die with nothing, even more empty, many, many times emptier.

This is our life. Instead of acting to the contrary, to be filled with the fact that you feel the desires of others and you exist in order to connect with them.

Currently we are at the first initial stage of our spiritual development. There is no way for us not to be born in the future. But we can be born the hard way when we resist and do not want to go to the state of a more developed fetus; we do not want to increasingly adapt the spiritual forces of bestowal and love of others within us and assemble a spiritual image from all people.

When we assemble it at such a level that we will deny and destroy everything that contradicts the connection between us, then we will become a spiritual fetus.

Egoism between us will be increasing, and we, thanks to it, will constantly be in a greater connection with each other above it until the nine-month development of the fetus ends, and then we will reach spiritual birth.

We can imagine how difficult this period is! Now all of humanity is being pushed into the womb, and nature is beginning to pressure us. This is the huge, closed, global, integral crisis that we feel today; this is the first pressure of nature on us so that we begin to connect with each other.

It presses on us from the outside, like a mother, but still gently. Later it will push more and more if we do not start connecting with each other.

Question: With the development of technology, people are increasingly immersed in Internet and social network addiction. You have said this is the same as drugs. How can it be treated?

Answer: In everything that develops we must realize the positive and negative sides. So far people are just playing at it, and they are playing, of course, with their egoism.

The whole Internet is a demonstration of who we are inside. When you enter the Internet, you see what humanity is. If there was some kind of extraterrestrial civilization, it would be enough for them to look into our Internet, see what is there, and they would immediately understand that there is no point in contacting us as there is nothing at all to talk about with the earthly civilization.

But this is the beginning. In principle I am very glad that this network is developing on its own, and then we will adapt it in the right direction. There will be several more hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, and there will be drought, severe cold snaps, and starvation. The future is preparing many unpleasant surprises for us.

Humanity, eventually, will begin to understand more and more that there is nothing it can do. Involuntarily the opportunity to do all sorts of stupid things will be taken away from us. When there is nothing to eat, you will not scour the Internet in search of dubious pleasures. When you have no electricity at home and the water level rises from below, or everything is burning from the heat, then you will not be up to looking for some entertainment. So there is an awareness of the need for correct development ahead.

It is very simple—get closer to each other and enter into homeostasis with nature. That is all. It is the law of equilibrium. The law of equivalence.

Now we must begin to connect with each other, that is, to not destroy the egoism that separates us, but to connect above it. Knowing that you and I are opposites, completely distanced from each other, and maybe even hate and dislike each other, we still have to start working on getting closer to each other, on interconnection. And so should everyone with everyone!

Do you understand how much suffering we will have to endure in order to go toward each other at least a little if we do it under the pressure of external forces? Imagine what hurricanes, explosions, exterminations, sunstrokes, and famine we have to endure so that people can become a little closer to each other, caring and listening to one another! Nature will roll over us like a steamroller.

Or we will understand and begin to ask: “Give us the opportunity to rise above ourselves,” and thus we will get strength and new qualities, and begin to get closer to each other. Then it will be pleasant and easy, although we do not have these qualities in us. They will appear as desirable, but only if we invite them.

If not, it will be just awful! Even in order for humanity to annul its enormous egoism, that is, to rise above it, requires terrible suffering and deprivation! A person must experience unbearable horrors in order to give up his “I.”

But if we only ask, we will go the easy, pleasant way. But this requires recognition. That is why we are trying to disseminate the wisdom of Kabbalah.

In our spiritual work, we use the materials that Baal HaSulam wrote and build ourselves on what he did.

I know from my own experience that I am allowed to go forward only to the extent that I have to explain Kabbalah to the world, but I cannot go any further. I feel like a dog that runs on a leash beside the owner, the owner constantly holds the leash and doesn’t let the dog get ahead too much.

I would rush forward with desire and strength that I cannot even describe, but I feel that I am tied to the world. Bound! As far as the world can advance, I am permitted to go ahead of it by a few degrees and that is it. These are high, spiritual degrees, but no more! I feel a rigid attachment to the world, I cannot be free. This shows, of course, my place, my duty, and my work.

There is a huge difference in how much the world has begun to move forward in jerks now, and how much it gives me the opportunity to speak. I have to keep a lot inside myself because I cannot express myself, it is like I am mute. Then the world takes a step forward and words, images, and symbols appear. I can express it right away! Some kind of external expression appears that was not there before. This is how it follows the path that the world goes through.

He is far away, somewhere out there, sorting out his problems: the same terrorists, on the one hand, economic crises and natural disasters, on the other hand. But all this gives some kind of impetus, and I have the opportunity to express a lot of connections, laws, and root causes, to link them, and to give out a new layer that can be explained. And so, in layers, I feel that I am moving forward. But these layers depend only on how the world is going.

Question: There are people who can adapt to any situation, and there are those who would start suffering from internal turmoil if you take away their iPhone. Why are there such different classifications of egoism? Which is better?

Answer: It is difficult to say which is better because humanity is arranged in such a way that everything complements each other, like in any electronic, mechanical, human, or social schemes.

There are fools and smart people and strong and weak people. Usually, people who are physically strong are not very developed mentally and vice versa. That is, everything complements each other, and perfection is achieved through this. Therefore, it cannot be said that one wins and the other loses. The Japanese are small and slight, but look at the technology they develop. The Chinese are like that too.

Each nation has its own physical, mental, moral, and psychological characteristics, and things are moving toward ensuring that everyone complements the other. Nobody will have an advantage.

No matter how people are, for example, if they are great at doing something, they still will not be able to flaunt it and win something from others. It is the harmony that gives us winning. Without proper, mutual, and standard interaction, everyone will lose: the smart ones, the stupid ones, the strong ones, and the weak ones—everyone.

All the same, before us looms the plan of nature, its indispensable condition to bring everything to harmony, to unity. And the human level, man must fulfill this condition consciously, against his egoistic nature.

If he understands this, that is, if he looks at the world around him and sees himself below all of nature and not outside of it or above it, and he understands that everything in order to achieve homeostasis will act in this direction, he will be fine.

Otherwise, the strongest, the smartest, and the very very best will look foolish, weak, unreasonable, and flawed, and will eventually die. That is all.

Comment: In some countries governments officially take control of the Internet and block sites that promote, for example, pedophilia, etc.

My Response: Of course. If you have a family and small children, would you let them watch obscene programs on television or on the Internet? No. So we need to find some kind of regulator. The problem is how to find it.

Humanity is not inclined to look for something in common; it comes to something involuntarily, for example, an agreement on flights, on corridors for aircraft, and so on.

But in general, this is a big problem, especially with issues related to business. Some kind of moral basis is needed for this, and humanity does not have it.

Today’s parents, in principle, have other things to worry about. Our egoism has grown so much that the Internet does not correspond to what happens in schools. Therefore, I am in favor of reaching an international agreement, an international restriction.

Man is an animal, and the most terrible, ugly, and egoistic one on top of that! If we allow everything, it is not freedom, but a perversion that turns our life into such a swamp from which we would not get out! We would drown there. Therefore, we need to restrict ourselves so that we are at least in such a state from which we could initially go further, think of something, and choose some kind of middle line.

Our egoistic nature crushes us and pulls us to the very bottom. The popularity of porn sites is above everything else. This shows who we are!

I am not going to enforce anything, but it should be very limited and properly considered. I am not a hypocrite, but it must not be like that.

We will have to do something anyway. I am in favor of creating an international organization to control the Internet in which there would be representatives of all countries. This is the correct approach.

Comment: A person by nature can adapt to different conditions. For example, by mastering space, he can annul his “I” and adapt to this environment. But as soon as it concerns the laws of nature that we do not perceive, he immediately begins to turn on his “I,” with things such as “there is no evidence, there is no logic.”

My Response: Because we think with our bellies and not with our brains. What is good for us is true. Feelings turn on instead of reason, and our feelings are egoistic. That is why we live, act, and decide this way.

This is a huge problem that should be solved in the near future anyway. Either there will be great suffering that will teach us, or we will start listening to what Kabbalah science says, and then the suffering will gradually decrease, and we will begin to receive information through the head, and not through the skin—one of two things.

And how we will move forward: either with the most terrible suffering, when maybe a couple of million people will be left from all of humanity, or “with a song to happiness” – it depends on us.
