Question: What has happened to humanity? We used to want to study, get degrees, become directors, and earn money!

Answer: But why? We are aware of the uselessness of all these tensions.

People still play sports. They climb mountains and do other things, hold competitions in fashion, in sports, and in everything else. That too will pass.

The most important question is why?

Comment: He will kill everything.

My Response: Yes, and humanity will calm down. And what will happen? Nothing. We will simply relate to each other.

Question: This is unclear. What does it mean “simply relate to each other”?

Answer: Simply, meaning in such a way that you do not cause anyone any negative feelings.

Question: Not to evoke hatred toward yourself?

Answer: Calmness! Just get your salary and spend the day as you wish. You will have enough time and desire to get used to this world and learn how to behave in it.

Comment: So the demand for more money, a bigger house, a pool in the yard…

My Response: There will be none of that. A person will begin to understand that he must live within his sensations, in a movement toward the correct attitude with others, an internal movement. And then a person who care about one’s specialty, salary, or anything.

If I have such an attitude toward others and I feel that others have the same attitude toward me, this mutual good network of forces between us, I feel it, I live in it. That is my work, I exist in it and so do all the others.

We only develop these mutual sensations of ours, without any effort. It should be without effort! This is how I treat others and others treat me, and everything freezes. And only that is the only feeling you perceive.

Question: And when you say: overcome our egoism, rise above egoism?

Answer: It is all inside. Just calm down.

Question: And it will be so calm? I always have the feeling that a person must make enormous efforts.

Answer: No, no, nothing! Quite the opposite. Why? If we relate to it correctly, then the upper light, which is in absolute rest, it will do everything. Just don’t worry. Just don’t interfere. “The Creator will finish it for me.” It is that simple.

Question: Harvard University, Princeton, etc. will not be needed?

Answer: No, nothing at all is needed.

Question: And studies, higher education, second, and third degrees?

Answer: No, not needed.

Comment: Humanity built all this for so long.

My Response: It was in order to define its mistakes.

Question: What will humanity come to?

Answer: To a peaceful, inner mutual balance. And in it, the connection between us will be revealed as complete and peaceful. In the stillness of these waters, we will come to the point that we will see through them the Creator.

In the Torah, this was formulated thousands of years ago: “It is preferable to sit and do nothing.”

Question: What does “do nothing” mean?

Answer: Do nothing! Do it so that from doing nothing, you have everything. You will see it is possible.

Question: So I will have food, something to feed the family with?

Answer: To the extent that it is necessary for you, you will work. But it will not be labor. It will simply be an occupation.

Question: It is not like I go to work suffering, hate it, and still go?

Answer: You will not be rushing around and suffering in traffic jams, none of that will happen.

Question: Will this thought penetrate? “What is enough is enough for me, and I do not need more.”

Answer: It will come gradually, but it will also come quickly.

Question: How is a mega-congress different from other congresses?

Answer: A mega-congress is a unified gathering of all people on Earth. We are trying to bring as many people as possible into unity—those who are unaware, in disagreement, indifferent, neutral, or far from anything spiritual—so they can discover that this exists and begin to understand the roots of their personal misfortunes and the global suffering in the world.

We want them to begin to sense the idea of a unified direction of humanity, society, and all of nature.

After all, we are entering a streak of failures that is systemic in nature, and we need to understand it. Why keep trying to run away from it? There are volcanoes here, droughts there, floods, terrorism, war, or other crises.

These problems need to be solved! After all, we are rational beings. So, let’s try to understand the world we live in.

Science has practically given up on this already. Politicians can’t do anything either; we see that from the outcomes of their summits, nor can the financiers. They are just trying to steal as much as possible before the end, while no one knows or understands what is coming next.

People have lost all sense of direction; they have no strength left to do anything. We have become ungovernable, and we no longer control anything ourselves. In other words, our egoism has ceased to be the driving force that guides us and allows us to manage our lives. Now, it no longer works.

Only interconnectedness, global unity, and the closed nature of the whole system can guide our lives now. This needs to be studied.

We must rewire our thinking, like a crew in a submarine facing danger working together to survive. They are specially trained to be united, to sense one another, and to understand that their personal survival depends entirely on the success of the whole.

We are at a turning point between two very serious epochs. There are only two of them. This is not what it was before and will be in the future. This is a transition from the world of the sole rule of egoism in everyone, in groups, in states, and in civilizations to a common, global, unified world, as it should be.

In principle, only man is a violator of this globality. The rest of nature is completely controlled from above, there is no way for it to change itself in anything and there is no need to. Humans are the only creation that are opposite to all others and represent an object that must change itself, on its own, intelligently.

So, we have a special time. We have a special task. Over the course of many incarnations of our lives we have come to a point where we need to solve this problem.

I am happy that we are in such a generation. We really have all the tools to solve this and move forward beautifully, easily, and freely, not with a stick to happiness, but with the awareness of a great task, a great dream, and a great fortune that we are now revealing.

This is not some kind of sky-high idea, but a very real idea that speaks about the whole of nature, tells us in a clear, scientific style what we can do, why and how. We should be happy that we have this opportunity.

The Path To Complete Transformation

Question: Until a certain time, all congresses were related to the preparation period. And now the congresses mark a new period—a period of correction. Everyone feels something new is emerging. What is it and how can we make the most of this state?

Answer: The world does not yet understand that it is at a completely new stage of development that is marked by qualitative changes.

The period of the previous egoistic development of the world has ended. The old paradigm is over; the paradigm where the more power, money, and knowledge means that you have more confidence in the future, more power, wealth, and everything else.

All these selfish accumulations, values, power, and achievements mean nothing in the new world because strength and success are defined differently in it. They are determined by the measure of correct interaction between the parts of creation, between all parts of nature.

We are already seeing this in ecology, in society, and between countries—everywhere. That is, one who knows how to interact with everyone correctly will survive and succeed. This is a law of global nature, and we have now entered this new phase.

For example, a child up to a certain age, say up to three or four years old, does not feel other children. They only present an opportunity to take something away from them, that is all. He does not understand the possibility of communicating with them.

But starting from the age of four or five, he makes friends. He plays with them, wants to get closer to his friends, and do something together. He is slowly moving away from nannies and gets closer to his friends.

From that point on, friends take on a very important place in the children’s environment. Then leaders are formed, all kinds of divisions into groups, subgroups, and so on. That is, a person is already becoming social.

Such a transition from individual, egoistic development to social development, which begins at the turn of four or five years of age, is taking place in humanity today.

Now everything will be determined by correct interactions, not by forming alliances as in: “I am against you in an alliance with the rest because I am tougher than you.” No! Namely, the correct, harmonious relationship between the parts of creation in accordance with the general law of nature. That is, we must conform to nature.

And this harmony will force us to become more and more environmentally correct, to fit into the whole picture of nature. Such a holistic approach will be in high demand, otherwise we will not survive.

People will see that all problems—banking, social, political, family—all collapse precisely because we have to move to a new system of relationships.

This system completely contradicts our egoistic, animal approach to nature, to ourselves, and to others. Therefore we will need to transform ourselves, become social, and think that the benefit of society is my benefit, the health of society is my health, and the success of society is my success.

This is so hard! Even impossible! Therefore we will have to break ourselves even more.

First, we must realize this is the case and we cannot escape. We suddenly find ourselves in such a world. So what do we do with it? We must find some hidden forces in nature to help us be in correct communication with nature.

Finding these forces is today’s task of mankind. We do not see them clearly, closely, actually; therefore, we try to escape this very task, that is, “it is impossible to solve, so there is no problem, so we close our eyes.” It will not work! The ostrich policy will not work here because the whole development is moving in this direction.

Kabbalah offers its own method of solution. It does not insist it is correct, and does not impose any dictatorial ways. It only says what it has to offer: “Check me out. See for yourself. And if so, take it and implement it.” That is all.

Comment: You say that we have entered a period where the process of correction is already taking place. But to us, it is not noticeable. We do not see anything except that everything is happening more intensively.

My Response: The process of exposing our egoistic nature is indeed happening, and it is becoming clear to everyone. Psychologists, sociologists, and politicians who think about these matters are starting to more or less realize that egoism, which is our very nature, is essentially what is destroying us.

People just think there is no cure for it, and so they throw up their hands and continue living as before: “What can be done? That is just how we are. We will keep devouring each other.”

That is why we need to develop the wisdom of Kabbalah to show people that it is not so. The process has begun, but it must be taken under conscious control and directed toward the goal by ourselves so that nature does not drive us toward happiness “with a stick.” Of course we do not yet see the egoism corrected, but we already see the recognition of egoism as evil. And that is the preliminary stage.

Already several million people around the world are able to hear that the egoism is meant to be corrected so that precisely through it, we ascend to the level of the Creator. If we make an effort to disseminate this knowledge, then by uniting among us, we will break through humanity’s disbelief, emptiness, and laziness, and give people the opportunity to understand that perfection and eternity are attainable, and that we are standing at the threshold of a very serious, elevated process.

We are not beings without a rudder or sails, without a clan or a tribe. We exist within the highest process of nature, within the Creator, who leads us from one end of creation to the other. We are now at a very critical, culminating point from which we can begin to move consciously, revealing worlds before us and feeling ourselves as part of the universe.

I believe that our current state is special. That is what the Kabbalists write. We must try to make these days of humanity more intense, more revealing of the great goal that stands before humanity. It was created by nature, and we will reach it anyway, but now we have the opportunity to consciously and swiftly realize it ourselves.

Question: Do you speak about the correction process not only with regard to the group but to all of humanity?

Answer: To all of humanity. The group is separate. Regarding our international group, which includes hundreds of thousands of people around the world who hear and are already absorbing this, we can say only one thing: this group is already a real spiritual force in the world, not by human standards but by spiritual qualities. If we measure not by numbers but by spiritual qualities, we are the greatest force in the world.

We must respect our community and understand what an opportunity we have to accelerate humanity’s development, to make it pleasant, easy, and inspiring, instead of allowing it to continue in division, anxiety, and fear of world war or ecological disaster.

Question: You have mentioned repeatedly that the period of correction has now begun, prior to it was a period of preparation. What does the period of correction mean, and why was the previous time not considered correction?

Answer: It is because it was necessary to prepare egoism so that it would fully realize its own worthlessness, transience, hopelessness, emptiness, and its inability to be fulfilled or to lead a person to anything good or positive.

Ultimately egoism had to be prepared to understand that it exists solely for its own transformation, not to be destroyed by any means, but to be transformed into bestowal and love.

And so until this egoistic quality completely discredits itself in all necessary aspects, it is impossible to begin correcting it.

In our time, we have reached a state where we see clearly that the time has come, there is no way out. Either we face serious problems of ecological, military, and other forms of self-destruction, or we still have a chance to survive.

The force that is changing us today and turning all of humanity upside down—what is it? What is this little program?

The internal force in this program is the upper force of nature. It manifests specifically in the human being, and the human is the highest stage in nature’s development. It changes him; it is directed specifically at him.

The faster we come to the integral interaction of all parts of nature, the faster we come to understand that it represents an integral system of interaction, mutual support, and so on, and the faster we will come to a state of happiness, fulfillment, and eternity! Not to death, as it is today, but to eternity and perfection.

All of this will become visibly manifest between us. We will see it before our very eyes.

Question: If I were to open The Book of Zohar and no one told me it was important, I probably would not find anything in it, just a fairy tale. Imagine someone who has nothing to do with us opens this book. What does he find there? What does he read?

Answer: Nothing, but he will learn about this book from me. At the same time, he will have some recordings of our lessons. He will open the book, and along with watching or listening to our recorded lessons, he will study it and this will give him an entrance into the upper world.

Before that, he should read other literature, such as Rabash’s articles about the group, about the connection between people, and also Baal HaSulam’s articles, which shape his approach to The Book of Zohar. This is how he will come to The Book of Zohar itself.

I am sure that in the end people will engage specifically in this.

I think the next generation will finally come to the conclusion that a person does not need to work as much as now. Should he work just to exhaust our planet and produce completely unnecessary things?! He will produce only what is necessary for his existence and spend all the rest of his time studying, disseminating, and exchanging spiritual information.

People will gradually begin to feel that they exist in both worlds. I am sure this will happen, if not in the next generation, then in the one after. But it will definitely happen.

Comment: But you yourself live in the current state.

My Response: I do what I must in my time. I feel myself to be a link in the chain of Kabbalists. I have a clear mission. I think this is clearly visible in my life—what I devote myself to and what I fulfill. I have no questions or issues with this.

Question: Sometimes you say that people are ready to hear us, but we are not yet ready to properly convey the Kabbalistic information. Are people really ready to hear us?

Answer: No, they are not ready yet. If they were, they would hear. However, it is a dual problem: both on my side and theirs. I am not yet able to convey everything in the way that is most accessible and close to them, and they are not yet capable of grasping it with their inner qualities. So we both still need to move toward each other.

That is why I say that maybe I have a few years left in my life to make the Kabbalah method closer, clearer, and easier for everyone to understand. On the other hand, humanity is gradually approaching me because it is being pushed from behind by crises.

Of course I do not wish any misfortunes upon anyone, but I hope that blows will affect people, and they will come to the goal faster. I see these crises as a manifestation of the disease that is choking and oppressing us but is still hidden inside.

What did they do with the previous wave of crisis? They suppressed it, pushed it inward with “antibiotics” like they usually treat a disease. It seems like it is gone, but it is smoldering inside, everything is already rotting, but you do not feel it yet. And then suddenly, a person gets an X-ray, is opened up, and they say: That’s it, we are sewing you up—and off to the cemetery.

But I do not want things to get to this point. That is why it would be better if humanity gains awareness of the evil of its state at the same time as we provide the method. People will realize that they have nowhere to turn, that they must correct their state, and right there beside them there will be a method showing how to correct it and attain confidence, peace, and a normal life.

We at least speak to them about that, not even about the world to come. At least in this world, they can achieve a good life, for themselves and for their children in everything.

Our task is to bring humanity to this. That will be the first stage of correction, the first stage of accepting Kabbalah as a method of correction. This is my dream.

Question: I look at the world and there are already eight billion of us. And I assure you that very few people can say that they are the ones who need to be educated. No, I need to educate others, that is the go-to formula. They are the bad ones, the selfish ones, not me. It is because of them we suffer.

How will a person understand that he is the one who needs to be educated?

Answer: Only through blows. How else? If they think they are so good, why is the world so bad?

Comment: Others are bad, that is why the world is so bad.

My Response: If everyone thinks that way about others, does it mean the world is bad or good?

Comment: The world is bad.

My Response: Except for me?

Comment: Except for me; yes, that is what people think.

My Response: And we will keep believing this until something falls on our heads and there is nothing left to think.

Question: Can we say that by doing this we are summoning trouble upon ourselves?

Answer: Of course. Instead of correcting ourselves or trying to do something, we calm ourselves down.

Question: We say: “Others are bad, but I am good.” Am I calling trouble on myself?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Not examining myself? Is it bad?

Answer: Very bad! This leads the world to disaster.

Question: Is genuine education when I learn to examine myself?

Answer: Yes, when I look at myself, at what I am like. When I look at what I owe to others, at being the only one uncorrected. That is, everything that is in me: a liar, a thief, a deceiver, a hater—I do not know what other epithets to come up with here—it is all me.

But everyone else is not. All others do not exist at all. All others are my various reflections that I see around me. That is, I look at a lot of people around me, and each of them portrays me negatively in this form and that and that.

There are eight billion people in the world, and each of them represents some kind of negative quality of mine. Eight billion! That is how I am depicted into the world. And that is how I see it.

Question: So what do I do when I see evil, an evil person?

Answer: If I correct myself, I begin to see the world as more united, as striving for bestowal, love, and connection. Eventually I realize this is all one system, one person called “Adam,” and this Adam is me. Because that is how I put it together with my actions, behavior, thoughts, and all sorts of corrections.

Question: Do I absorb the world into me and become this one soul, as we say, Adam?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this true?

Answer: It is true.

Question: And is what we see a lie?

Answer: No, we also see the truth, but it is a partial truth, torn apart by our inner egoism.

Question: Otherwise we do not pass it through our ego? Are we looking not through egoism?

Answer: Right. If I put them all together in one single image, then it is me.

Question: How can I focus on it like this?

Answer: This is our task—to gather the whole world and say, “This is me, and this world depends on me.”

Comment: Am I responsible for everyone and everything?

My Response: Absolutely everything is here.

Question: Every person?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is the simplest, most ordinary person responsible for the world, for everything that happens in this terrible world?

Answer: To the extent that he finds himself in this world.
