The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report on widespread, rapid, and intensifying global warming. The report says that in the coming decades, climate change will increase in all regions: extreme heat waves, floods and droughts, flooding of coastal cities due to rising sea level, and so on.

The researchers claim that climate change is the result of human activity and call for urgent measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. I, however, think that the main factor of all adverse changes in the environment is man’s egoistic attitude to inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature and to people.

There is no other reason. We can check: limit the amount of fuel we are burning and confirm that this does not change anything. Then we will start looking for other reasons, going through them one by one. But we do not have time for all these checks in order to find out that this is not the reason at all. We need to make the only change that depends on us.

There is no more dynamic factor than the relationship between people. Let’s correct the relationship between us and see how it will affect the climate and balance everything. Although there is no direct connection between one and the other, if we correct our relationship, we will almost immediately feel a positive effect. This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah says, and I have no reason not to believe it.

No limitation of greenhouse gas emissions and other similar measures will help. This will not affect the warming in any way. We are like little children who think that they can influence nature with their childish games. There is nothing we can do. One release of gases from a volcano into the atmosphere will cancel all our efforts to limit the burning of fuel. These are not serious measures, and they are just in order to report that we have done everything possible.

In fact, to influence the equilibrium of the climate and bring Earth into balance is possible only from a human degree. Changes at the inanimate, vegetative and animate degrees cannot help in this. We must balance the relations between us, good and evil between people, and reach a good state between everyone, as it is written: “They helped every one his friend,” “we all are comrades and brothers,” who live on one small planet, for which we are all responsible.

We just need to start thinking this way, and this will calm all the forces of nature. No other measures will help. All of nature is in balance, except for man because of his hatred for others. Each of us treats inanimate nature, plants, animals, and people egotistically and with hatred, in order to squeeze from others maximal benefit for himself personally without considering others at all.

We must come to a balanced state when we take care of others as ourselves. After all, we are on the Earth in a closed ecological system, and if we start thinking about everyone, we will balance all the forces of nature.

We see that animals devour each other. However, they act according to their natural instinct without freewill, and therefore, nothing else is expected from them. They do not disturb the balance in nature by eating each other. No predator will kill unnecessarily if it is not hungry, unlike a person who destroys everything around him on a whim. Of course, a person should treat inanimate nature, plants, and animals in a balanced way, that is, use them only to the extent necessary for life.

Yet, the main thing is the relationship between people because this is the highest degree. Today, we are wasting natural resources unnecessarily. We must use nature in the way it happens on the inanimate, vegetative, and animate degrees where each takes only what is vital from nature.

Then it will not be considered that we are harming nature. I am allowed to use inanimate nature, plants, and animals for my food to the extent that is necessary for life. Just like they use each other. This will not lead to any cataclysms in nature because we will not bring nature out of balance.

The commissions researching climate change cannot be objective since they are interested in continuing this process. The more cataclysms there are in nature, the more necessary these experts will be and the more funding they will receive.

Doctors are interested in having more patients, committees against anti-Semitism are interested in having more anti-Semitism, and so on. After all, everything is based on the egoism of a person who is looking for ways to raise his importance in the eyes of others.

Therefore, anti-Semites and Zionists help each other with their activities, and this is how all of humanity acts in everything. My neighbor, who runs a car repair shop, prays for more rain because there are more accidents in the rain. What will the doctors do if there are no patients? It is clear that they do not want epidemics and increased workload, but it is also not in their interests to completely eliminate diseases. This is how it is in everything.

What will the government committees do if there is no friction between the countries? Everything is based on an evil egoistic inclination, and we need to understand how to correct and balance it.

Every committee to combat extreme changes wants to ensure that these changes continue. We can see how the importance of environmental committees has grown over the past ten years. Now it will begin to decline because we are discovering that we are not able to control the forces of nature through the measures they propose, by reducing the amount of fuel burned and so on.

The world has begun to realize that it exists in a global system. The coronavirus has shown us that we live in a global world that requires us to take global responsibility. We will feel global blows and global interdependence and understand that we need global responsibility. The Earth is one system, very delicate, vulnerable, and closed. And we bring it out of balance.

Comment: Many rules and protocols dictate the life of Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain who is already 95 years old.

She usually wears the St Edward’s Crown when in full ceremonial attire. But several times more recently she opted to wear a smaller tiara. When asked why she didn’t wear the crown for a ceremony, “she described it, ‘as unwieldy.’

“‘You can’t look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up, because if you did your neck would break – it would fall off,’ she said, smiling.

My Response: Right! Dynasty, kings, all this is very necessary for the world. The king is the king! Just as there is a king in heaven, there must be a king on earth! To keep Australia, Canada—its dominions.

Question: Do you need education and do you need dynasties?

Answer: Yes! It must be an inner feeling. Like this Queen Elizabeth. And she is respected everywhere in the world.

Comment: She said: “It has always been easy to hate and destroy. It is much more difficult to build and cherish”(“Christmas Broadcast 1957”) “Cherish” refers to people.

My Response: Only the king or the queen can afford it.

Question: If this is a dynastic upbringing, then there is pain for the people?

Answer: It is hers! It is his! “These are my servants, these are my people!” “This is me and mine. This is my home!” And not that you will now be elected for five years or for another period. There is nothing to talk about here!

Comment: She also said in 1957: “There is no doubt that the darkest phenomena in society come from divorce and general separation” (The Queen: Life and Times of  Elizabeth II).

My Response: Yes. On this, she completely agrees with me. I am in favor of such a marriage, which is usually called Catholic. That is, there is no divorce. Everything!

Question: If there are children?

Answer: If there are children, there is nothing to talk about at all! But even if there are no children, people should know in advance that there can be no divorce! The only thing is that there should be parental consent too. So that the young do not do stupid things.

Question: What does parental consent give?

Answer: It gives a seal that they are serious, that they deliberated it, convinced their elders on both sides that they were going to start a serious family.

Question: And when the queen says: “general separation,” does she mean when the right and the left are fighting among themselves and so on?

Answer: As if people know what ideals they are fighting for …

Question: That is, she, as a queen, must ensure that everyone rises above this separation?

Answer: Yes. She does everything only for the sake of the country, for the sake of the people.

Question: Is it imbued in her?

Answer: Yes, this is the old upbringing.

Comment: The Queen is also said to have said that she often throws unpleasant thoughts out of her head.

My Response: That is why she lived to be 95 years old and still continues to live. If unpleasant thoughts suddenly come, do not digest them, do not chew them over.

Question: Is that what you do? If an unpleasant thought comes to you, what do you do with it?

Answer: I have a lot of study material. I immediately plunge into it. I give lessons every day. Life arranged itself in such a way and I arranged it myself in such a way that I am obliged to go forward all the time.

Comment: “I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together” (UN General Assembly July 6, 2010).

My Response: Absolutely.

Comment: She says that this is what a leader should be—uniting.

Answer: Yes.

Question: Why does no one hear it?

Answer: They cannot rise above their petty egoism! She does because she has an empire. She must hold it, she must represent it, take care of it. She has no other choice. And they do not have this importance, mission, nothing.

Question: They are in their egoism, and she can rise above it. Is this the key word, what you said: “This is my home, my people, this is mine”?

Answer: That is what a king has.

Question: Does the fact that someone is elected for five years, that he fights to be elected, is this killing everything? Because it is not dynastic, it is not inherited?

Answer: Yes. And the king does not need it! He builds his position on completely different grounds.

He can respect, he can explain, he can speak. He has a representative office, he has it all. And moreover, the most important thing that is in him, although in recent generations this is perhaps not visible, he has upbringing! He is raised to be an heir, a king, and so on. There is a huge amount of science and everything that he should know.

Comment: “ We cannot put an end to wars or stop injustice, but the effect of thousands of small good deeds put together can be stronger than we can imagine” is another quote attributed to Queen Elizabeth II.

My Response: Indeed, everything is achieved with the help of very small corrections, which together give us the final complete correction.

Question: And what is really a good deed?

Answer: In my eyes, a good deed is when you rise above all personal, social, and other egoistic approaches and refer them only to the Creator, when you understand that all this comes to you from above in order for you to rise above it.

Question from Facebook: Is it realistic to unite everyone into one society? If so, how should it be done? The fastest and safest way is when two enemies unite when confronted with a third enemy, and the third enemy is another civilization. But I may be wrong.

Answer: It is good that you understand that you may be wrong. Where is the third civilization that can unite all the enemies?

Do you think that if some giant spaceship or a flying saucer that covered half the planet and totally darkened it, hovered above us, we would begin to love one another? No, this does not mean to love.

We cannot be forced to love. The only way is to begin to educate ourselves, through our consciousness, and not under pressure, to develop a yearning for each other, like mutuality, love, and bestowal. Love is when I feel what you want, and you feel what I want and we fill each other. But no one can fill himself.

So, a third civilization will not help. Our civilization is quite enough. We are the only ones in the universe and we do not need to look for anyone or anything. All we have to do is to correct ourselves, to fulfill, and to attain the most sublime state of eternity and perfection, which means a civilization that no one has even dreamed of. Let’s do it!

In the News (The Washington Post): “The head of the World Health Organization warned Monday that the world is on the brink of a ‘catastrophic moral failure’ if wealthier nations don’t ensure the equitable distribution of vaccines to combat the coronavirus pandemic.

“WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who has repeatedly warned richer countries against excluding poorer ones by cutting bilateral deals with vaccine suppliers, took his rhetoric up a notch in his opening remarks at an executive board session.”

My Response: But it does show the truth.

Question: Why was it impossible to make a gesture of goodwill? Give poor countries, say, half of the vaccines. Lose profits, but give it to them. Why couldn’t this be done?

Answer: Egoism will not allow it. How can I do this?

This comes in hindsight—because others begin to accuse me, now I have to justify why I did something this or that way.

Question: Even the WHO could not have foreseen this? Or did they not understand what humanity is like?

Answer: They don’t want to understand. They dance to the tune of money.

And when they write later, they also write on the account of the WHO: why didn’t the WHO shout about it, why didn’t it object?

There is nothing to expect from rich countries, from their governments, from their ministries of health! They think only of themselves! And rightfully so! Who will think about them? They think about themselves. They have resources, opportunities, connections, everything. And poor countries do not.

It is the WHO that should think—they are the World Health Organization!

I believe that it should be equal for everyone.

But this is natural, this is our world. Why are we now beginning to resent? Is this only happening now and has never happened before? They know and understand everything very well. They have the numbers, they have everything. And they don’t set any conditions.

Let’s say, 25% of the drugs you buy would go to poor countries. An additional tax.

But who will consider this? No one will go for it—who is this WHO?

Question: You keep saying that humanity and man, one way or another, sooner or later must come to realization of evil: that they are complete egoists. Is this a step toward the realization of evil?

Answer: No, it is not because no one cares about it. No one is sorry. Nobody!

Question: So, what are you counting on when you talk about unification, about connection, about love, all that we should come to? What are you counting on if we are all like this?

Answer: I don’t see that a person has given up anything for another. On the contrary, the more we develop, the tougher and more callous we become: “I will not give up!”

Question: When will the turning point happen? When something in me pops, clicks?

Answer: Not a turning point. It will be so that I will be ready to share something with others as some kind of additional tax. Like what I said about 25%, for example.

I believe that there should be an international government that will deal with such things. There will be a lot of world problems now—climatic and all other kinds. That is, all the problems we had had before that were across states, across zones, and so on, will all be global.

We will clearly see. If there is a fire in Australia, a clear consequence will be flooding in China and Siberia, and so on.

Question: Where does this lead us?

Answer: It makes us feel dependent on each other. That is how we will feel. Only through suffering. There is nothing humanity can do.

Question: When will we come to the state of the world being as one family? Will we be brought to it by suffering? Will we get to such a state after all?

Answer: I think yes, because there is no other way. We must complete the correction of the world. Now we are entering a state where we begin to gradually realize, but very, very gradually and from afar, that we are a common system.

But so far, no one wants to take this into account. Here we need some very special manifestations from nature so that we all realize that we are connected, that we are in one boat and not in continents, and countries, and governments, and nations. This is where we need to take it seriously.

Question: So, will nature offer some kind of follow-up exercise to humanity? And then another one until we realize it? Do you think this is how it will go?

Answer: Yes. This will gradually teach us. As a result, we will understand, we will feel! The main thing is that we feel and not just say that we are one family—such beautiful slogans. And we will feel that we are really one common whole and that we cannot think of one part of humanity without another. Because we will see all of humanity as one organism. You cannot chop-off your hand here and laugh and make carnivals over there.

This should be the feeling we all have.

And it can be instantaneous. When you feel a prick, you instantly understand: “Enough! I agree!”

Everything will be fine.

Question: When?

Answer: Quickly, I hope.

Comment: You always stress that it is good when there is a king ruling the state.

My Response: It is better than the so-called democratic governments we see in different countries today. People think that democracy is when they can get together, shout, criticize, and create an external appearance of ideological struggle, some kind of opposing trends. By doing so, they allegedly find out the truth.

Question: It is said: “Truth is born in a dispute.” Don’t you agree with that?

Answer: Truth cannot be born when everybody is shouting at each other.

Truth is born where there is a family that has been in power for centuries and gradually raised itself, its children, grandchildren, nobility, and everyone else. Then they develop completely different criteria. They do not fight over to whom it is more profitable to sell a certain position. It is all in their hands. And this is why the reigning family is everything.

Of course, they can be killed, dethroned, which has happened many times in history. But in general, there is no other method of governing in our world other than the dynastic form: kingdom, realm.

First of all, people calmly accept such a ruler; he is the king. That is all! I look at him and I do not need anyone or anything else. And when someone starts to break in and say: “Me, me, me,” then there is no nation, no ruler, everything rests only on bayonets.

Question: In his book Give and Take, psychologist and professor Adam Grant divides people into three groups: takers, givers, and matchers. “Givers like to give more than they get, paying attention to what others need. Takers like to get more than they give, seeing the world as a competitive place and primarily looking out for themselves. And matchers balance and give on a quid pro quo basis, willing to exchange favors but careful about not being exploited.”

What do you think about these three groups?

Answer: Most of all I like the matchers because they lead to contact, to mutual, good, kind contact. This is the most important thing. It is not about the fact that you can give away as much as you want. It will not do anything. It is the same with receiving if someone gives something to you.

Exchanging, however, causes mutuality, and by this you can correct a person, you can change both yourself and the other, and create communication between you; this is the most important thing. The goal is to create communication.

A giver will not do anything. On the contrary, he can cause hatred if he gives all the time. It does not mean anything.

Comment: So you are a realist. You give me something, I give you something? Exchange pleasantries.

My Response: Yes, but by this we teach each other that he can do the same thing that I do; by giving to him, I open myself in order to receive something from him. And so on. The most important thing is mutual exchange.

Question: Isn’t our world today built on this, “You scratch my back and I will scratch yours”?

Answer: The world is built on mutual exchange.

Question: Does it mean that you are satisfied with what is happening in the world today?

Answer: No. This does not satisfy me because the current exchange that exists in the world is only to take and not to give.

Question: What is the next stage after matching?

Answer: This is written in Kabbalah: mine is mine, yours is mine, and then yours is yours, and mine is yours.

Question: That is, you come to an almost impossible state. To something that is impossible to imagine: mine is yours and yours is yours, right?

Answer: Yes. Such relationships are the most correct ones that are justified by the upper nature, which is opposite to our nature. This is what we must come to. Together with this, a completely different space is revealed to us, an eternal world.

Everything Is Evaluated Not by Its Appearance at a Given Moment, but According to Its Measure of Development.

Everything in reality, good and bad, and even the most harmful in the world, has a right to exist and must not be destroyed and eradicated from the world. We must only mend and reform it…” (Baal HaSulam, The Writings of Baal HaSulam Volume One, “Peace in the World”).

We must treat everything that exists as something necessary for our lives. Nothing exists in vain, although sometimes it seems to us that nature is full of all kinds of pests in the sea, underground, everywhere and that it wouldn’t be harmful to get rid of them.

But with each passing day as we explore nature more and more, we begin to understand that everything that exists is created by necessity. And the wisdom of Kabbalah gives us an absolute understanding of this.

Every species of plant sprouts and every species of animal exists only due to necessity. The natural levels of the still, vegetative, animate, and human must live in mutual harmony and share in everything.

So there is nothing harmful on the face of the Earth. And if we see something harmful or bad in its relationship with us, then we need to us to understand that it exists so that through our correct attitude to nature we will bring ourselves to a state that makes it possible for us to see that everything that is found in this world is correct, true, and should exist.

Question: UNESCO conducted a survey of 15,000 people from all over the world about what problems most concern the population of the planet. Young people under the age of 35 comprised 57% of the respondents.

It turned out that the problem that most worries humanity is global warming and the disappearance of species, both fauna and flora. Almost 60% of respondents talked about this. Second were conflicts and violence. Third was discrimination and inequality. And fourth was the lack of water, food, and shelter.

What do you think is the most important problem for humanity?

Answer: How to exist in a warm, kind, supportive, confident environment for us and our children. We need to understand how we can, if not control nature, then control ourselves in order to bring ourselves closer to nature.

Question: Then I will be fine and so will my neighbors, relatives, and everyone?

Answer: Sure. The most important thing is to find out the cause of the many conflicts that exist between us and between us and nature. The reason! And then we will know what the greatest danger to us is and what to do about it.

Question: What is the reason?

Answer: Our huge contradiction with each other, our huge egoism, which divides us, pushes us apart, sets us against each other, and does not allow us to gather and thus bring ourselves and the entire world around us into a balanced, good state.

There is nothing else. The only force that spoils everything in the world is human egoism. Let’s make sure that we know how to manage it.

You can see that if we walk away from somewhere, like Chernobyl, for example, then everything immediately calms down. There are no problems and nature blooms.

But if we could remove egoism from a person, there would be nothing left of him! So, we should not think about how to remove it, but how to correct it so that this force is positive, and not negative.

We see how a mother takes care of her child. That is, people can do this despite the fact that they are egoists, if they have love for another. So we just need to achieve love for our neighbor. That’s all.

Do not kill anything. On the contrary, add love to your neighbor. And then everything will be in order. We won’t want to destroy anything.

Question: If every person attains the meaning of life and becomes a rational person, then no one will be able to control people. Will the world’s elites allow this to happen?

Answer: It is not up to them. We are all under the governance of the upper force. It has control over us, not the elites.

Naturally, while we are in our egoistic state, the upper force does not manifest itself. It hides and controls us through the so-called elites. But this is all temporary. Humanity will gradually mature to a state where it will be forced to change itself, and then the role of the elites will finally collapse.

In the News (“European Parliament overwhelmingly backs ban on caged animal farming”): “The European Parliament is calling for a ban on caged animal farming, after voting overwhelmingly in favour to end the practice.

“The idea originally came from a European Citizens’ Initiative that was started in September 2018, which has so far gathered nearly 1.4 million signatures in at least 18 member states in support of animal welfare.”

My Response: The European Parliament has nothing better to do. They are ready to turn into animals themselves. They are not far from it. I cannot imagine what else I can say about this! They have so many problems! Europe is decaying and running wild! And they do not see anything.

Question: Do you think that these are signs of the end of Europe?

Answer: This is a collapse! We have already been through all this in ancient Babylon.

Question: What should the parliament be like?

Answer: The European Parliament should think about correcting people and not about bringing animals closer to the human state.
