Today we are in a state where we are obliged to make corrections. If we do this, we are using our free choice. We create a group through which we strengthen ourselves, analyze the Kelim, and correct them from simple to complex.

First we correct “Israel in its land” to the extent possible, and then our inclusion in the nations of the world. This means that we give the nations of the world the method of correction, explain to them why everything exists, what its purpose is, and what the process and goal of creation are.

This is what is meant by Galgalta veEynaim (GE) working on the AHP, being inside it, and due to this the AHP joins GE to the extent possible.

If we function as we should, then, as Baal HaSulam, writes “sparks of enlightenment and purification” will pass from Israel to the nations of the world. By doing this, we carry out the one and only action that we can perform by free choice.

But if we do not use our freewill, specifically that which is given to us in this particular moment in history, then the general force that is obliged to bring us and all the nations of the world to the end of correction (Gmar Tikun) will act upon us in such a way that we will be made to fulfill what is required.

To the extent that we deviate from the correct direction, this force acts upon us to return us to it, but this return comes through suffering, and therefore, we risk finding ourselves in the most dreadful states.

Question: Can you tell people whether there is a God or not?

Answer: There is a single force of all nature in all the worlds including our imaginary world. It is called Olam Amedume—the imaginary world. So the highest power that includes absolutely everything, of course, us too, is called the Creator.

Question: And how should we interact with Him, with this nature, as you say, with the Creator?

Answer: This is what Kabbalah teaches. You have definitely come out on a direct line: “How am I supposed to address the Creator? What should I do? How do I find Him? How do you regulate your state relative to Him? And anyway, what should I do with my life? How do I live? What if I get something for it?”

And here we need to understand what the Creator is. So what does Kabbalah do? It tells you how to behave so that you do not feel bad.

And why do you pray? It is about actually feeling the remote control of the world and really starting to control your destiny. It is given to man. And the upper force that we know, the Creator, wants us to come to this.

Question: People tend to be impressed by examples. Let’s say a person doesn’t believe that he depends on society and thinks that he can solve everything on his own.

Let’s imagine this situation: a baby is born, placed in a round room where the light constantly on, there is food, but the baby has no other interaction with people or animals. What will happen to him?

Answer: He will not become human. He will just consume food naturally, like an animal, and grow up the same way.

Question: But will he have his own thoughts and fantasies?

Answer: Nothing will happen. Absolutely nothing. All this appears only under the influence of the environment. Whatever environment you place him in, this is what will come out.

Comment: But then he is, in fact, not a man or even an animal.

My Response: Right. Therefore nothing will work outside of the environment. That is, you will get an animal organism that will grow up in this form. If you show him his mother later, he will be scared of her because he will not understand what it is that suddenly appeared alive and even moving. After all, he does not know what it means to be alive and what it means to move.

He has no sense of time, no sense of the surrounding space. Feed him through a tube, and give him nothing else. And then what?

Comment: So he will grow, say, until the age of twenty.

My Response: What difference does it make up to what age? He will remain at the same level—only absorbing food, releasing waste, and nothing else.

Question: Will he have self-awareness? Will he feel like he is living?

Answer: Only at the level he exists at.

Comment: A man is built on desires; desire is lack, desire is deficiency.

My Response: He will have no desires, no inner urges, because there is no surrounding society with which he can realize himself.

Question: So he was born a zero and will die a zero?

Answer: Yes. Absolutely.

Comment: But nature does not treat humans like that.

My Response: Nature, of course, does not do this; but sometimes, if it does, there is a special purpose and reason for this.

Without an environment, no Reshimot will arise in a person, no internal data for implementation, because he will not be able to implement it. One determines the other.

Comment: To become rich and successful, one needs talent, effort, and luck. Italian scientists from the University of Catania created a computer model of 1,000 people, observed them for 40 years, and concluded that the most successful and wealthy individuals are not the smartest but the luckiest.

My Response: Of course, that is destiny. Nothing else! To control one’s destiny, one must be a Kabbalist, i.e., rise above fate to the force that governs it.

Destiny is what is predetermined for a person, and in Kabbalah, it is called the path of suffering. But one can rise above it and take control of their own fate.

Ultimately, everything that happens to you will still unfold according to the laws of nature, but how you use them depends on you. Because then you understand nature, you are connected to it, and therefore, you control your destiny.

Question: Every important leader has security that practically tests what they eat and drink.

You constantly say that we are governed by the Creator. Moreover, you agree with Him and justify Him. Watching you, I get the impression that you are not afraid that someone might attack you from around the corner. Are you really so sure that the Creator is leading you so you have no fear of what might happen to you?

Answer: Why should I be afraid? At the very least, I am not overly suspicious.

First of all, I do not consider myself great, and I say this sincerely without trying to appear humble. I am engaged in the comprehension of the great. In this way, I always feel completely dependent on the Creator, the group, and everything, and therefore am small and insignificant. That is one side of it.

On the other hand I understand the greatness of the goal and the greatness of the task before us, the greatness of the mission I have received from the Creator, and I do not hide it. There is no bravado in this. How could there be if everything is because of Him?

But I do clearly understand that I am doing important, significant work. I am by no means being falsely modest, no. The behavior of a Kabbalist is a consequence of how he perceives himself in this world, in the world of the Creator, and in the world with everyone.

Of course, there are many evil and hostile forces. But I should not fear them, or else I would have no faith in the Creator. I believe that He governs everything and not some forces lurking around the corner.

At the same time, I do have a responsibility to take care of myself; this is what is said. I must do this but within reasonable limits.

Why should I behave like certain presidents surrounded by two hundred bodyguards who check what they eat and where they will take their next step?

I am an ordinary person, and in this regard, I do not feel any sense of exceptionalism. My uniqueness is connected to the Creator and lies in my attempt to bring His idea, His will, into the world.

All of a person’s work is to choose who governs them: the desire to receive or the desire to bestow. They must examine who currently rules over them and decide what they truly want.

If the desire to receive is in control, it is clear that this is not good, and they must seek ways to bring themselves under the authority of the desire to bestow. But even with the desire to bestow, there remains a question: Why do I bestow, for whom, when, and how?

The governance of bestowal can be established through the force received from the Torah. If we study the Torah with the intention of drawing from it the force of bestowal, then, step by step, we will gradually reveal this force and learn to use it more and more.

We ask the Creator to intervene and help us choose the quality of bestowal. Even before we begin studying, we must be certain that only the Creator alone governs all of existence, and our task is simply to reveal this to everyone.

Every person is born with two forces: the desire to receive and the desire to bestow. We see that the desire to receive dominates all of nature, yet nature also provides examples of bestowal. Even within a person, where egoistic desire reigns, thoughts of bestowal arise. We seek to choose the quality of bestowal because it is the attribute of the Creator. Nature itself teaches that it is worthwhile to belong to the quality of bestowal.

The force that pushes us toward bestowal comes from above, it is the force of the Creator Himself. And we see that although the force of bestowal contradicts our natural desire to receive, it holds the truth. That is why we are drawn to it, and ultimately, it becomes our new nature.

If I want to attain the quality of bestowal, I must enter an environment that has chosen this force and strives to reveal it. In this battle between the force of reception, which I was born with, and the force of bestowal, which I acquire now, I must choose with whom I want to continue.

Any person in our world executes the program of the Creator. There is not a single one who is free from it. We all work for Him.

The only difference is whether it is conscious or not. Whether you wish to go along with this program, justify it, comprehend it, and try to implement it, or whether you are disconnected from it and exist automatically; you are still executing it anyway, even without realizing it.

But the difference between these states is that when you comprehend the program, you reveal its Creator, you become like Him in greatness, in understanding, in perception, in His very status!

You begin to flow in the same stream of immense information, feelings, and decisions. You are alive! Instead of merely existing like a little kitten, you exist like God!

Question: A British movie called Before We Disappear dynamically changes scenes and storylines based on audience feedback. It uses technology to analyze audience reactions and adapts the story depending on the viewers emotional engagement.

If we could program the storyline of our own lives the way we want instead of being dictated by circumstances, could there be an interesting development of events?

Answer: Only a very egoistic person would think about controlling the world in this way. After all, I live in a world where billions of other people also exist. If I want to change myself, my existence, my life path, I inevitably would influence the destinies of everyone else. I cannot act solely based on what I want without affecting others.

Thinking about it is, of course, possible, but it is absolutely unrealistic and will never work! What could work is this: If I wish well for everyone, always think and act in ways that benefit everyone and I know what “good” truly means without making mistakes, then I can positively influence the world.

Question: What if it is not just one person but everyone who wants to do good so that everyone benefits?

Answer: For that to happen, we need to reveal the bigger picture—the fact that we are all interconnected, part of one network, and there is no escaping from each other!

If even in my thoughts I wish something negative for others, even just a little, I am already distorting the entire system of our connections. The system then turns back to me, the one who caused this distortion, and forces me to correct it. It bends me back into place. That is why we are all so unhappy.

We all try to bend each other to our will, but the system works differently, it bends us because each of us creates faulty connections.

Question: What percentage of people would need to desire to develop a caring scenario for this system to change?

Answer: It depends, are we talking about a specific country or the world as a whole? But, in principle, it is possible. Even in a particular region or group of people if they truly desire it. However, this requires changing the individual. And a person can only be changed through education. Without a serious educational system and a thoughtful approach to people, it will not happen.

How can you even approach people with this? First, they need the desire for it. Today, such desires are slowly forming.

Only then can you approach people and share what you have. And what do I have? I have the key to happiness, not just any happiness, but eternal, perfect happiness! At this point, people become bewildered: “What eternal, perfect happiness? I do not even want to open my eyes in the morning.”

Question: Can a person desire this on their own?

Answer: To do so they would need to go through very serious trials.

Comment: This leads to a very pessimistic scenario.

My Response: I am not pessimistic because the program of nature exists and it will lead us to this outcome. I only wish to soften its course. That is all! I have no pessimism whatsoever. I act, I believe, to the fullest extent possible.

Comment: It is a life’s work. When people dedicate themselves to their life’s work, they draw inexhaustible motivation from the process itself.

My Response: You might think that a Kabbalist has endless energy, that their inner volcano is constantly bubbling and erupting with steam through its summit.

Question: So what is the constant driving force for a Kabbalist?

Answer: Only one thing—direct connection with the Creator who governs everything and with whom you must constantly feel mutual action, a partnership.

Question: What do you do when plans fall apart? Many people have their plans fall apart, and today many have failed. Can a person react differently, calmer somehow?

Answer: It depends on his readiness. If he is prepared in advance for the fact that all his plans will fail and he will have to change them to the plans of the Creator, then he will survive it calmly.

Question: So I plan, but it will happen how the Creator wants it?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is it right to start the sentence with: “I plan”?

Answer: You have to, a person does plan. But he must convince himself that the plans of the Creator and not his will come true.

Question: So I do my thing, but it will happen as the Creator commands?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this how one should live? Is this the right message?

Answer: Yes, You always add: “If the Creator wills.”

Question: Is it possible to live without plans?

Answer: It is possible to live without plans if you throw your plans aside and accept the plans of the next, higher level.

Question: What plans are these? What plan do I live by then?

Answer: You live by the plan of the upper nature, the Creator. This means that all you can imagine is that you want only one thing—to be in close contact with Him.

You only want to achieve this, and what will happen is unimportant. The main thing is that you want only these plans to come true inside you.

Question: Do you not even find out what the Creator’s plans are? Do you just surrender completely?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Can a person live that way at all?

Answer: Are you going to check His plans?

Comment: I really cannot. But still, even to pronounce it may be scary for someone. What if He has such plans that…

My Response: Whatever they are, these are already the plans of the upper one.

Question: So here is my complete annulment before the upper one?

Answer: Yes.
