Question: Everything comes from the Creator. But it could have been better, right?

Answer: If there was no freewill, you would say: “That is it, I am going ahead. Let it be as it will be.” This is a kind of philosophy based on the fact that nothing can be done, everything goes by nature, and we will use it. That is, we will act where it is better because we still do not know the laws of nature.

Kabbalah teaches that there is freewill; we can shorten our path of suffering and turn it into pleasure. Then why should we act limply or wantonly?

The fact is that an ordinary person cannot combine two approaches to life: on the one hand, there is none else besides the Creator and He controls everything, and on the other hand, everyone must say, “Everything depends on me, I control everything.”

So, who, after all, is in control? The solution is very simple, although it does not fit in our head because we only work in one world. We cannot work in two worlds or at the junction between them. This requires the creation of new feelings in us.

In order to combine both approaches within oneself, it is necessary to reach a state where a person at the beginning of any action says: “If I am not for me, who is for me?” i.e., everything depends on me.

And after he has completed some action, he is obliged to say: “All this was originally planned, decided, established, and executed by the Creator, and my actions did not give anything. Even if I did not do them, I would still achieve the same result.”

This is impossible for us to understand. We do not have qualities from two-dimensional space. By two-dimensional, we mean our existence in two dimensions. We are only in one dimension, ours, and therefore we cannot combine these concepts within ourselves.

Question: What is memory?

Answer: Memory is a past state that I can retrieve and experience as real. Actually, there is no such thing as memory. It is just that all my states are stored within me as past Partzufim, and I can transition from one state to another. I can travel between them as if in time. In spirituality, it is absolutely real.

Question: What is the purpose of this time travel? What can it give?

Answer: Nothing, very little. As a rule, one should strive forward and not look back.

Question: Is it possible to travel forward in time?

Answer: No, because for that you have to ascend to future states and to reach them. We can only aspire for the next step and no more than that. And what awaits ahead you cannot see because these states have not yet been realized in you. It is all pure physics. There is no mysticism here.

There are people who feel the future in our world. There are famous examples of this: Wolf Messing, baba Vanga, and Nostradamus. Moreover, they did not necessarily have to be in spiritual attainment. They knew nothing about the spiritual world; they simply relied on their sensations.

Wolf Messing said that he himself did not know where he got such abilities. He would suddenly enter states where he felt the future, present, or the past because they all exist.

But when we talk about the spiritual, then there is already freedom of will. Therefore, future spiritual states, in principle, can be seen. But how you will approach them: either through suffering or through light, your efforts, it is unknown, it depends on you. This is what absolute freedom of will which must be realized by you consists of.

People in our world do not have freewill. We must introduce a quality into them that is the opposite of what they have so that two qualities are formed in them. To be more exact, it is not to introduce, but to excite a point in the heart. It is in everyone, and we need to awaken it.

When it manifests itself in a person, then you can work with him, but not before that.

People in whom there is only one quality are called animals, and those in whom there is a point in the heart are already called men according to the future that can develop from it.

In the history of human development there was a certain period when souls that we call prophets existed in our world as well as the spiritual world, and thus they described the future of humanity.

However, they described it conditionally: “If you behave this way, it will be this way, and if you behave differently, it will be different.” This is because freedom of choice remains, and they cannot say anything for certain.

That is, they can speak about certain states. If those states are already predetermined for the future and only continue to unfold, then nothing can be done to change it. It is like during a war when a signal is sent via all communication channels to all fronts and many different units, the orders are sent out and no one can stop anything from happening. They already begin to be into action as time unfolds.

It is the same in the material world, if we have made certain actions below, which were meant to bring us to the next degree either by a good path or a bad one, but we have already chosen this path according to our actions, it has to be realized this way. Then it is launched.

But until it unfolds in our world, it might take another five years. By forecasting the dates of the beginning and the end of the war, the Battle of Stalingrad and other events, Wolf Messing was simply psychologically connecting to the informational layer.

I am sure that all kinds of special units in all countries have been and are engaged in this. There are entire units that process this information as much as they can understand it. But they surely do not possess the method to influence the informational layer itself. For them it is what actually exists. They can inflict energetic blows on each other, but they are unable to affect a change of circumstances by that. For them it is like destiny.

Psychics emphasize that in this respect they are fatalists, meaning that they grasp the future as much as they can feel it, as deeply as they can see this picture, a temporal reference, meaning they receive information as if they are peeping into the future—but not more than that.

Question: Victoria writes: “So often I want to forget everything that has happened. So many days, so many years have been wasted, so many mistakes have been made. But no matter how hard I try, I cannot forget. My memory again and again emits pictures of the past that cannot be erased.

Tell me, why are we given memory? If only it were given to learn, to memorize something necessary. But no, it often breaks the heart. So, what is it given for?”

Answer: I think that this occurs in you because you are very eager for the future, and therefore, for some reason, you feel sorry for the past, that you did not have time for something. Do not worry. One should always think that every moment that has passed is made by the Creator, and it all depended on Him alone. Therefore, in no case should we worry about the past, the future, or anything, but only the given moment.

Question: So, you can say thank you for what happened, whatever it was, right?

Answer: For everything that has been, for everything that is, and for everything that will be. But the most important thing is to live now. Only in the present. In Kabbalah, there seems to be no past or future tense, only the present.

Question: Do you ever regret anything in the past? Does your memory ever cut out something that makes you suddenly shiver?

Answer: It is all gone.

Question: Do I live in the compartment of today?

Answer: Not even in a day, but the moment.

Comment: Now we are talking with you, this is this life. And everything that has been and everything that will be is not a concern anymore.

My Response: All this does not depend on us in any way.

Comment: Teach me to live like this. I can say that, but if I am tested in a second, I will be a rag.

My Response: No, I am clearly not worried about the past. Although, if you count how much time I have wasted and for what, then of course it is…

Comment: Heaps.

My Response: But that is how it should be. Agree with the fact that the Creator does everything, and that is for sure for the past! And you fully support Him, trust Him, and accept Him.

Question: But how about the future? Everyone dreams of something about the future, everyone hopes for something that will happen in the future. It cannot be taken away from a person.

Answer: If you are thinking about the future, then, you are taking it away from the Creator. This is also forbidden.

Question: Is this also His prerogative?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So, if I define this formula for myself, what is it?

Answer: At the moment I am connected with the Creator, merge with Him, cling to Him and I do not want anything else. That is how a child sticks to its mother, and that is what he wants. This is it, nothing more! That is how we should be.

Question: So the basis of this formula is to stick to the Creator?

Answer: Yes.

Question: His past, His future. And yet this is my present, is it mine? Do I exist here after all?

Answer: I do. In the present, that is me. And only I determine, so to say, that I want to be with the Creator, to hold on to Him.

Question: Right now?

Answer: Yes.

Question: I see. Then will all the sorrows go away?

Answer: There is nothing else. Nothing.

The society in which we live egoistically dominates us; it sets all sorts of standards for us: dress like this, comb our hair like this, look like this, be tall and thin and not fat or short, and so on.

This was created on purpose in order to better show our egoism. It turns out that a person exists in a variety of external negative influences. This state is called Galut (exile), when our qualities of bestowal and love are in exile from the spiritual and under the power of egoistic values, assessments, and attitudes.

Therefore all our efforts should be aimed at replacing these egoistic social attitudes with spiritual ones, and I will look at the inner world of a person, not at his externality, and I will evaluate him by his thoughts, not by how pleasant and good it is for me. This is our constant work on ourselves.

Here Kabbalah puts a person in very strict conditions where one must constantly engage in introspection and understand that a public egoistic machine is working on him by supplying him with its attitudes and egoistic standards every minute: “You must do this, look at people in this way, evaluate them according to such and such criteria.”

And a person must constantly resist this. Then he will see in the society around him, in the egoistic machine that acts on him, the guiding hand of the Creator, which thus educates him and leads him to a state of absolute love for all.

In this case the world becomes the arena, the place where we unite with the Creator in our mutual love for him. In fact, this world disappears; it does not exist. It is like a place where we simply connect, the Creator and I.

It is revealed to me that the whole world was created just for this. All this trumpery, lots of people and everything that happens to them, their influence on me and my influence on them are needed only to work out my relationship with the Creator.

There are no manipulations in Kabbalah. Why do we need them if the whole system is intended as the realization of freewill? Therefore, it is forbidden to put pressure on a person, to drag him in clearly or secretly, no matter how.

Such tricks are possible only at the level of our world, in egoistic systems. After all, a special calculation is done for this.

Even when parents force a child, for example, to acquire a profession that he does not want, to become this or that way, or some state institutions force people to act a certain way under a fear of punishment, those who exert such pressure pay dearly for doing that. After all, here you are conflicting with the plan of the Creator to bring a person to the image of a “man”! It is horrible!

These people, these systems in the next generations will go through great earthly and spiritual suffering before they come out of this state, as they have limited others in their freewill.

Most importantly, a person must develop freely! Only then will he fulfill his purpose. One who limits the other will have to make a double correction. This is a terrible thing!

All of humanity is moving in this way on the level of our world. But in spirituality this does not exist at all. There a person is the master of his fate.

Therefore, the teacher does not ask the student practically anything, he only says: “Are there any questions? Ask.” Are exams suitable? No. Does he push anywhere? No. He only pushes his students into some actions that can continue to develop them, but he in no case dictates anything, it is impossible.

The vision of the future is concealed from the ordinary person. And this is rightly so because it would take away someone’s freewill.

On the contrary, a person is given darkness and emptiness. Do you want to get to a state where you are above time? Please go, but on your own, when you will be in this layer consciously and will not do anything to harm others.

You will always be silent even if you begin to exist in this layer. And this will never limit your free movement: you will not succumb to some stupid fanaticism in order to swim fatalistically through this layer.

A person rises to this layer only with a screen when he takes on the responsibility to move forward, although he sees the future predetermined 100%, he wants to implement it himself. This is called faith above reason.

Kabbalah reveals to us that “there is none else besides Him.” The Creator is behind everything that happens around us. The main thing is not to be distracted from the thought that all this is Him, to look for Him in all the images around you and inside you.

Apart from the thought that “there is no one else besides Him,” everything else is controlled by Him. This thought is also given by Him! But you must grasp it and begin to cultivate a free, separate, opposite state in yourself from it, and to become similar to Him, a person, Adam.

Question: How can you not become religious when you start talking like many do?

Answer: No, these are all words; they have no meaning. The meaning of the words is completely different.

In religions, everything comes down to physical actions. They do not have an internal apparatus. Their internal actions are in the form of repentance and so on. Kabbalah, however, is directed in the opposite direction from religion, toward the revelation of the Creator.

Religion exists due to the concealment of the Creator and is in no way interested in revealing Him. Therefore, it says: “Be a simple kind of man, obey, and that is it.” But Kabbalah is interested in developing a person.

In the News (EurekaAlert!): “Researchers from Japan have found that young infants can make and act on moral judgments, shedding light on the origin of morality.

“In a study recently published in Nature Human Behaviour, researchers from Osaka University, in collaboration with Otsuma Women’s University, NTT Communication Science Laboratories, and the University of Tokyo, revealed that 8-month-old infants can punish antisocial behavior exhibited by a third party. Thus, the motivation driving punishment might be intrinsic as opposed to learned. …

“‘We wanted to know whether third-party punishment of antisocial others is present at a very young age, because this would help to signal whether morality is learned.’

“To tackle this problem, the researchers developed a new research paradigm. First, they familiarized infants with a computer system in which animations were displayed on a screen. The infants could control the actions on the screen using a gaze-tracking system such that looking at an object for a sufficient period of time led to the destruction of the object. The researchers then showed a video in which one geometric agent appeared to ‘hurt’ another geometric agent, and watched whether the infants ‘punished’ the antisocial geometric agent by gazing at it.

“’The results were surprising,’ says Kanakogi.  ‘We found that preverbal infants chose to punish the antisocial aggressor by increasing their gaze towards the aggressor.’ …

“’The observation of this behavior in very young children indicates that humans may have acquired behavioral tendencies toward moral behavior during the course of evolution,’ says Kanakogi. ‘Specifically, the punishment of antisocial behavior may have evolved as an important element of human cooperation.'”

Question: How do you feel about this? Do we have it in us? Can this point be developed in us?

Answer: Yes, but this is not because of the correction of a person. This is because people today are born with such developed qualities that they are more empathetic and understand empathy more. This is a consequence of the development of the soul.

That is, the suffering has accumulated and concentrated in such a way that people can feel the other.

We see this both in public relations and in what people write and say. People are learning. People are learning and they are ready to understand each other more. This is based on egoism; there is nothing altruistic about this.

Question: Does it mean that now precisely such souls are descending into the world that can empathize?

Answer: They understand empathy more because they are more interested in it personally.

Question: What should it develop into?

Answer: They will conclude that altruism is preferable to egoism.

Comment: You keep adding that egoism is the basis of everything.

My Response: Of course. This is already good. This is a form of developed socialism.

Question: How can we accelerate this? Should this be accelerated?

Answer: It can be through all kinds of examples and encouragement.

Question: You keep saying that it is necessary to create a society that will constantly encourage these good deeds. Do we then disperse this empathy more and more?

Answer: Possibly, yes. It is possible that this will accelerate it in some way.

Question: What is the final state of this point of empathy?

Answer: The final state is the creation of a good, correct, real socialist society.

Question: What, in your opinion, is true socialism?

Answer: It is an ideal social system when everything is done to make people feel good. But absolutely everyone.

That is, everything is built in such a way that you cannot do something in one way here and in a different way there, better for some and worse for others, and so on. This is a must for everyone!

Question: Do we have these presuppositions? If we just need to develop this, then we will reach such a society?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: Then a person is born in order to reach this socialist society in such a form.

My Response: Of course.

Question: Where is this upper force that you talk about all the time? Where is the Creator?

Answer: Without the upper force, they will not be able to do this.

Question: What do we have to tell the Creator to get there?

Answer: Allow our egoism to agree and come to such a result.

Comment: Otherwise, our egoism says: “I need more, not him.”

My Response: It will not allow us anywhere. Any step aside, either to the left or to the right, will mean death. Moreover, in such fanatical, ugly, and underhanded forms that with all our pre-thought-out and prepared beautiful intentions, suddenly we will see that I cannot dodge it in any way. I want to reach out and give, but instead, I suddenly see in the process that I cannot give, but only take.

Comment: I see. This is egoism.

My Response: Yes, it is such a fight within yourself, but it is beautiful.

Question: But is it really important for me to see this? To say that this is inside me.

Answer: Of course.
