Due to all the events taking place in the world, the Creator gradually brings to our consciousness, blow by blow, that we are developing in the wrong manner, both individually and everyone in general. We finally have to understand the laws of the system we are in.

It is naive to think that we build these systems ourselves. We see that our universe and all of reality exists according to certain laws that are revealed by physics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy. Everything acts according to these laws, and we humans also obey them. Why do we suddenly think that we can invent new laws ourselves, as we please?

If everyone wants to establish their own laws for the existence of the world in the way that is convenient for them, then only wars and conflicts between people result from this. No one understands what the correct system of world governance is. During elections, everyone shouts at each other that they know how to build the world better than the others. But the world does not need to be built; you just need to understand how it is already built and how to correctly integrate in the system that already exists.

It is said that “the world works as usual” and there is no need to change anything in it. You only need to change yourself, to bring yourself in line with the system that is embedded within reality—meaning the task is to change a person, not to change the world.

To understand this we have been given the science of Kabbalah. And when we begin to find out how much we contradict the laws of general reality and find in ourselves the reason for this opposition—our egoism; we can correct it by integrating into the system of creation and by rising above the whole creation like the Creator. As it is said: “And you will become like gods, and know the laws of good and evil.”

Then we get unlimited possibilities in the whole creation. And not only in the material world that we feel in our five physical senses where we can freely move from one side of reality to another, but also in spiritual reality.

All this can be achieved, but of course this is a long process during which we will need to educate ourselves and our children. It can stretch for several generations until the entire human society comes to harmony with nature.

Inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature do not need correction since they act according to natural instincts. Only we humans are the opposite of nature, and so we harm ourselves and the whole of nature. Therefore, it is our duty to study the laws of nature and change ourselves in accordance with these laws, which we can reveal.

These days many people have questions that cause misunderstanding and pain. Why are there such wars and suffering in the world?

So far we are only studying the laws of nature, and then we will begin to fulfill them little by little; that is, we are getting closer and closer to connection and even to love between all people, to the highest level of unity. And then we will begin to understand how we can change ourselves. And in accordance with our changes, nature will begin to change, turn toward us, and become kind and friendly.

The science of Kabbalah teaches us how we need to change in order to reveal the true laws of nature.

Comment: Elon Musk promoted the colonization of Mars because he contends that it is necessary for the preservation of the species. “It’s important to get a self-sustaining base on Mars because it’s far enough away from earth that [in the event of a war] it’s more likely to survive than a moon base” (The Guardian).

My Response: This is salvation in a sense that if humanity becomes engaged in this, people will forget about war. Otherwise, no Mars will save humanity from war. Only a cure for our egoism can save humanity from war.

If we start taking such medicine for our egoism, then we will not have to fly to Mars. There will be no war.

But overall, a journey to Mars will not give us anything. This is childish.

Question: Still, he is talking about rescuing humanity so we could escape war that we would start here. Are you saying we will not be able to escape?

Answer: Escape from what? Are you bothered by Earth or by people?

Comment: Well, there will be a war here, but we will jump and escape.

My Response: Then it is a different matter. It means you do not care what will happen to other people here. You consider that to escape civilization is in fact the salvation of civilization.

The beginning of the twentieth century was marked by intensive development of industry, economy, and finance. Everything was fine. And then we created a great number of unnecessary professions: managers, lawyers, economists, sociologists, political scientists, etc. Moreover, if you take any city, in it  lives a population that only serves each other.

And with present technology, which we can now introduce with the development of robotics, there will simply be no need for anyone. Let’s say we leave a billion people on Earth, which is a lot, why do we need this huge mass that devours the whole natural infrastructure, flies back and forth around the world, takes holidays, works at unnecessary jobs, and nothing is being done; they have created artificial values around which they revolve.

All the media, all this huge theater of the absurd vanity fair, this must be stopped, Mother Earth will not stand it, it is necessary to reduce the population. This is how the elites reason, and they reason egoistically absolutely correctly.

And we, Kabbalists, offer the opposite way. We say that if there are proper relationships between people, there is no need to destroy anyone. We can come to such a dynamic, absolute balance with nature, where everything will be fine, and not only there will be no conflicts, but at the same time we will rise to another dimension, to another level, to a completely different area of existence, which is called the upper world.

The elites think only about how to bring the world to some kind of balance in matter, energy, and information, and to what level to reduce the population so that it exists in optimal egoistic union with each other and with the surrounding nature.

And we say that it will not be achieved anyway because they do not take into account the plan of nature. Nature has its own clear plan. And they get into the natural egoistic development of a person and think of how to readjust it.

This will not work since from the side of nature everything is planned, determined, and absolutely clearly exists under the pressure of certain conditions and laws.

Question: In the 14^th century when the bubonic plague raged around the world, sixty million people died. People died instantly. What is the qualitative difference between those sufferings and the present ones?

Answer: The current suffering is practically regulated by man. We have entered a period of development where we can regulate everything: suffering, joy, progress, and regression. Nature has a goal—to bring us to absolute perfection, that is, to complete bestowal and love among ourselves, whether we want it or not.

Our freewill lies in the choice of the path: which way to go in carrying out this program. Therefore, if we behave accordingly, then the program treats us favorably, we implement it and move toward the goal.

If we do not want to move toward this goal in any format, if there are no any indications on our part that we proceed in the direction of awareness, consent, and implementation of the idea of ​​nature, the plan of nature, the goal of nature, then this plan is still being implemented, but goes against our will and feels like great sufferings.

On the one hand, these are the actions of humanity regarding the natural plan of development, although people do not understand and do not know it. On the other hand, humanity sees its development in a completely different way than is set by nature. This is an egoistic, terrible, incomprehensible development that has no plan.

Once people made 5-year plans, plans for 30 or 50 years. Today, no one makes any plans at all; the main thing is to live for today and that is it, and then something will turn up.

Therefore, if we look from the point of view of the elites or a narrow circle of people who, as they think, choose to rule the world and force nature to act one way or another, it turns out that today there is no need for such a massive number of people.

If we now quietly, calmly, without any problems, with diseases, deaths, and break up of the family, and with people beginning to take seriously the rejection of marriage and having children, then within even one generation the population of the Earth will be halved. Then, over the next generation, it will be halved again, and so on. That is, let’s say, in a 100 years the population can be reduced to two billion.

A generation is replaced every 20 to 25 years. Imagine if a couple give birth to just one, then the population is reduced in half. If they do not give birth to anyone, then this is a 100% reduction.

Such research of population reduction plan ordered through the media, psychologists, and ideologists have long existed. Mass media, the development of the Internet, family problems, the promotion of homosexuality, drugs, and divorce, in general everything, is aimed at destroying the concept of the “institution of family.” All this has already been calculated and special programs are being created.

We can understand that this is being done painlessly, “with love” for humanity because otherwise we will not survive on earth. People “eat” each other, eat the earth, and destroy its balance, which already does not exist.

In order to feed the population in an egoistic way, there is not enough land. If we take into account the mountains, valleys, seas, oceans, forests, and pastures, it turns out we have an average of fourteen square meters per person. It is possible, of course, to build a huge number of cities, but this is not rational, it completely depletes the Earth. We have sucked everything out in some 50 years.

It means that we have a serious problem that can be solved by reducing the population to a reasonable limit. This problem is solved by egoists who reason sensibly. How else can we solve it? A huge number of people are like bees: there are drones, there are the workers, and there are those that are not workers. But with bees it is clear that there is a value in all the groups. But not here!

Spiritual War for the World

Only women, once they connect, can change the situation in the world and restore order in it. But unfortunately, women are not actively declaring themselves. Every country has laws that allow women to demand access to leadership in order to properly organize life in their countries.

Usually women fight for their own rights, for equality, and it’s perceived like a family showdown in the kitchen. But I’m talking about spiritual warfare. A woman must understand that this is the most important thing now, and she needs to oblige the whole world, similar to when a mother makes her children study, clean up after themselves, go to school, and wash. This is how the role of a woman should be seen—as the mother of humanity.

The whole world is waiting for the woman to begin to fulfill her role correctly and to obligate everyone to realize and attain the spiritual goal of the world. If we unite with each other in the right form, then we allow the upper light, the upper force of nature, to enter us and begin to influence us. This is the role of a woman, the role of a mother.

It turns out that the struggle should go not for the rights of women themselves, but for their ability to influence society. Women lack knowledge, connection, and organization. If they want to advance, they will have to learn a lot and accordingly connect correctly, learn about their mission, and with due wisdom and feeling realize their destiny. There is no other solution, just like with a child who does not want to learn.

It is not easy for a woman to do this because throughout history she is used to staying in the shadows. Only the right education will help. We must start with small roles, and from them a serious organization will develop.

A woman is obliged to know the program and purpose of creation, the stages through which we are moving forward, and how to reach them. Besides women who begin to study today are preparing themselves to become leaders of society and humanity.

You must be aware that you are fulfilling a special mission and must be more persistent every day and be ready to do everything to save humanity from those difficult trials that await us if we do not correctly implement this special stage.

I am sure that you are able to do this and I am ready to help in any way I can. I wish you success!

Nowadays the world is undergoing radical changes that are turning it from the world of the 20^th century, which already is in the past, into the world  of the 21^st century, a new era, with a new structure. We are yet to see where history leads us and what kind of development process humanity is going through.

It seems to us that global world events are not really influencing a person’s individual life, but it will gradually become clear that these changes are increasingly affecting each of us individually. Eventually everyone will come to the end of correction and to the correct form. But at the moment we do not know what that form will be or how everyone will be able to complete each other. We ourselves need to change in order to see everyone as ready for correction.

Our duty is to help everyone in the world develop in a good way, similar to the way we help a fruit-bearing tree grow by fertilizing it and protecting it from pests. Wars are the incorrect way because we are not completing each other, and therefore we only prolong and multiply our suffering.

The forces of nature are trying to grow the fruit to be healthy and ripe, and war kills people and interrupts the development of their souls. We need to help all people understand the program and purpose of creation, and how to achieve it in the fastest and most positive way.

Unfortunately, humanity has not learned from the lessons of the past, from the experience of the First and Second World Wars, but rather, it is pulling itself into the same whirlpool, only even more cruelly and tragically, into nuclear war.

The entire world looks like a rotting apple. The Creator planted a Garden of Eden inside which the tree of knowledge grows. The apple on this tree is rotting more and more, but what do we do?

The people sitting under this tree want to correct this state because they see that it is impossible to continue like this. If we do not start making corrections, then these corrections will come from nature, that is, from the Creator, and force us to gradually change.

Therefore it seems to us that our world is getting worse and worse every day in order to awaken us to correction. It is already pressing on us with such force that it is really time to think about what to do. The wisdom of Kabbalah explains that everything depends on us, on our correct actions that lead to connection. After all, by this connection we revive all of reality.

All evil is within a person’s egoism, in his desire to be filled for the sake of his own pleasure. Egoism receives pleasure even from doing bad things to others. This person must be brought to the form of bestowal so that he enjoys only things that benefit the other. If everyone bestows on everyone and everyone takes care of everyone, then no one will feel any evil.

Imagine a closed, perfect system where each element is connected with the others in order to provide everyone with the force of life that comes through him, and in order to pass along the upper light. The correct, corrected system operates in a perfect form where each part of it is engaged in passing the upper force that comes through him to others, to neighboring elements, and transfers vital energy to them. And each and every one acts in this way, which brings pleasure to everyone.

What is the difference between male and female leadership styles and how can we combine them both?

If a leader, whether man or woman, does not know about the purpose and program of creation and how to lead in order to progress to what nature requires of us, then nothing good will come of it. First of all, integral education is necessary and as a consequence women will occupy more important positions in society.

Such is the call of the time. Until the beginning of the last period, while humanity hasn’t yet entered the stage of final correction by connecting, studying the science of Kabbalah, organizing in tens, society was ruled by men. But as soon as we begin to spread the methodology of integral education and begin to work in tens, to restore the one common big soul of Adam HaRishon, women will come forward.

Men will be more involved in the organization of tens and the internal structures of society, and women will take on more external leadership. That’s why I keep repeating that dissemination is mostly women’s work.

The same woman who has always remained in the shadows suddenly now has to come to the forefront and engage in the reconstruction of society. And it’s interesting that men agree to this. Nature lets a woman go ahead and no one protests. This is a miracle that has never happened in history. And this process has been going on for the last hundred years.

A woman has always had a penchant for leadership, but before that it was on a small scale and did not go beyond the house. A man is not able to manage the house; he never knows where everything is. His way of thinking is not adapted for such work, and the woman has always been in charge of the house.

But over time there has been a change. And this is a consequence of the internal organization of the soul, which is gradually approaching correction. As a result, the light passed from above through the Sefirot Keter, Hochma, etc., to Malchut and began to reach the woman more and more. Therefore women felt that they understand the changes taking place in the world more and are ready to express their opinions on important issues.

This is no longer limited to knowing where the salt and pepper are in the kitchen. A woman is ready to give advice to men—to her husband, to the government, and to parliament—and offer a solution. This is no longer about how to cook soup, but how to brew politics. And all because the time has come when the upper light has approached Malchut and given her illumination.

Therefore a woman feels able to work with this. She is able to restore order in the world better than a man because she belongs to the last Sefira, and by raising the reflected light, she connects all the Sefirot located in front of her. Therefore she is able to manage them all.

The man remains with his specific role, and the woman gains the power to control everyone, as she does with children in kindergarten. She handles all the affairs.

Not everyone can be like Margaret Thatcher or Golda Meir, but nevertheless, any woman has special abilities in management. I think that in our time it is necessary to replace men with women in parliaments. We know that there will be order in any place where a woman works. The world doesn’t need a man’s explosive power, but rather a woman’s moderate, balanced leadership, free from all the petty calculations that are sometimes characteristic of women.

A woman who can weigh everything well and correctly and perceives her country as her home, important and dear to her, is able to reconcile all contradictory currents and parties and balance everything. Only a woman can do that.

All attention should be focused on our duty to connect, to go toward unity. This is the correction of the transgression of the tree of knowledge. We can’t hide from it. If we take a closer look, we will see that every person, all nations, and all of mankind generally revolve around this correction.

It will soon be revealed to us that every effort, every action, even of any individual, if he or she wants to succeed must contribute to the correction of the tree of knowledge.

We will inevitably come to the state of the end of correction. The only question is how we will travel this path. Will we be driven at every step by the whip? Will we figure out the right forms of progress in every step and in every detail? Will we ourselves move toward the same goal with the help of prayer and friends?

One may ask why we should create this alternative that is not wanted by the Creator. This is for us to have the freedom of choice to agree with the Creator and prefer to go this way, not under blows, but voluntarily, and to restrict our egoism and enter into work for the sake of bestowal (Lishma). We advance by putting our efforts and prayer into it and by trying not to escape every moment to return to the egoistic path.

Eventually we will achieve the same goal, but instead of making our way through a dark forest, through robbers, and in fear of being beaten and killed, we can drive along a beautiful highway in a Mercedes quickly and comfortably. We will perceive the goal differently if we are not driven to it from under the stick. When we move toward it along the road laid out for us, we are correcting ourselves more and more and getting closer to the goal.

At every meter of this good path, we gradually bring ourselves into line with the goal; that is, we change. While on a bad path, we increasingly resist moving until we come to such suffering that life becomes worse than death. And when we prefer this death, our egoistic desire is killed for us, which leads us to correction.

The quantity and quality of suffering on the path of acceleration of time (Achishena) is incomparable with the natural path of development in its time (Beito). After all, if I am ready to suffer in order to come to the truth, then this is no longer suffering!

My new article on Linkedin “Can Corrupting Art Save Earth?”

Since the beginning of the year, there has been a growing trend among climate activists to corrupt art history’s greatest treasures in an effort to raise awareness of climate change. So far, twelve incidents have occurred this year, six of which took place last month. The incidents included throwing mashed potatoes (on Monet’s Haystacks), tomato soup (on Vincent van Gogh’s Fifteen Sunflowers), and fake blood (on Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s Clown), as well as activists gluing themselves to a dinosaur display at Berlin’s Natural History Museum, and to Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring. For the most part, museum visitors verbally attack activists during their action, and altogether wonder how their actions actually connect with the greater good.

I completely agree with the visitors’ ire. No one is impressed by these antics, and nothing will change, not in the environment or in the awareness of society.

Worse yet, even if we did become more aware of climate change, we would not be able to do anything about it because despite all the media hype about greenhouse gas emissions, we do not really know what causes climate change, and the little we do know does not help much. Every volcanic eruption, for example, spews so many pollutants into the atmosphere that it would take humanity months, if not years, to match the amount. Yet, even though there are volcanic eruptions happening all over the world at any given moment, they are not regarded as accelerating climate change.

The same goes for emissions of methane gas. Humanity is accused of polluting the atmosphere with this toxic greenhouse gas, but swamps and thawing permafrost in Siberia, Canada, and Alaska emit so much more than we do that our “contribution” to it is miniscule.

If all this is not enough, the Gulf Stream continues to slow down, adversely affecting the weather in both Europe and North America. A story published in Severe Weather Europe back in April warned that “the Gulf Stream and the overall Atlantic circulation are nearing a critical point of collapse.” Is there anything we can do to stop this?

In short, the global ecosystem is too big and (mainly) too complex to comprehend. We do not know what exactly we should do, if anything, to reverse or even slow down climate change.

However, our problem is not that Earth’s climate is too complex to understand, but that we are focusing on trying to understand it instead of on the real culprit, the one that is causing all our problems and not only climate change: human nature. There are countless other problems besides climate change, and they, too, stem from the same reason—that human nature is corrupt, rotten to the core. The corruption of priceless paintings draws ire not because people are angry that there is climate change. They are angry because the activists are displaying their own corrupt nature, their carelessness and inconsideration of the feelings of others, and their willingness to destroy some of humanity’s most prized assets to satisfy their own whims.

If we focused on adapting human nature to the world we live in, we would not be facing the myriad problems that we ourselves are causing. Who is polluting the ground, water, and air? Who is murdering millions of people every year for the sheer satisfaction of the ego? Who is impoverishing nations and exploiting women and children? Who is trafficking slaves for hard labor and sex abuse? Who is profiteering on medicines that everyone needs, for diseases that could be prevented? Who is getting millions of young people addicted to drugs each year? And worst of all, who is blaming everyone else for the problems he himself is causing? The same one is doing all the above: our own ego. Until we set it straight, we will not fix anything.

As long as we refuse to admit that we are the problem, and not what we do, but we ourselves, matters will continue to go downhill. We could be looking at nuclear world wars, natural disasters of unprecedented magnitude that will devastate humanity, extreme climatic events that will scorch or freeze such vast swaths of land that there will be too many climate refugees to handle, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis at intensities that will dwarf our efforts to protect against them, plagues where people will drop like flies, and many other afflictions that nature can inflict on us. Nature is very imaginative when it comes to punishment, and it will not let up until we realize that it is not what we do, but who we are that is the problem.
