Will The Pandemic End?

962.2Question: Based on today’s reality, people are very worried when the pandemic will end. Different authorities speak differently. Some believe that this will happen in 2021, and by 2022 at the latest. Others say that the consequences of the pandemic will never pass, that is, humanity will not remain the same as it was before.

What is your opinion about when the pandemic will end?

Answer: Never. Never, in the sense that we will not return to what was. No way. We will only go ahead and change precisely under the influence of negative influences.

The Epidemic Will End When We Finish It

557Every day we hear on the news about millions of coronavirus cases and thousands of deaths. The pandemic continues to spread and there is no end in sight. At first, we hoped that a couple of weeks would pass and the epidemic would end. But no one thinks so today. They are starting to say that there is no cure for the coronavirus and that most likely we will not be able to create a vaccine.

There will be some mitigation but there will be no real protection. There have already been examples of such diseases. Either they return regularly or they are constantly circulating between us. Therefore, we should not hope for the end of the pandemic, which, as it is now assumed, will come in a year or two. It will end when we finish it. It depends not on time but on our work.

The world suffers from a lack of food, money, and pleasure. But if we want a good life in which there will be all the best things, we must know the laws of nature and fulfill them properly. The primary law of nature is an integral dependence, which means that we are in a single organism. If a part of the body is broken, it suffers and the whole body suffers.

But the state of humanity is such that we are all split, separated from each other, from mutual good bestowal! Therefore, we are like a broken body that has no way to come back to life. So we must take care of our connection. This is called proper ecology, the integrality of nature manifested at all its levels. We must connect with each other correctly because nature obliges us to do so.

Nature says: “Do you want money, respect, health, food, and entertainment? I have it all for you! Only pay. With what?—With your connection.”

Evil Rules The World

293Remark: 75 years have passed since the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost—children, elderly, completely innocent people who did not participate in the war. This humanity does not learn anything. The number of countries with nuclear weapons has increased. Today they no longer talk about disarmament. Before there was a period of signing agreements. Not today. Today China is threatening India, India is threatening China, America is threatening China, and so on. Everyone rattles their weapons.

I understand when soldiers converge and fight each other, or armies fight each other: tank against tank, aircraft against aircraft. But here is also something mean: you are bombing the civilian population.

My Comment: This is the law of war. Does anyone adhere to other laws and rules? How many gases and toxic substances are being developed?! We do not even know that yet. Both before and now. It has always been this way! They just talk more, talk less.

Evil rules the world. God forbid, but we can still see it all.

Question: Will bans not help? Will agreements not help?

Answer: Nothing.

Question: Is the elimination of nuclear weapons also impossible, as I understand it?

Answer: Impossible. How can you destroy it? Do you know who in the world has it today?

Question: Is the world stuffed with weapons of destruction?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Will it be packed with them even more?

Answer: Nobody is holding us back. Who can accomplish that? You do not hold back selfishness, so this is the answer. Here we need serious hope for a higher power, including the coronavirus, which would gradually sober us up.

Question: What should it tell us?

Answer: That there is no other way—just lay down your arms and begin to engage in good communication with each other, completely new opportunities are opening up for humanity.

It is absolutely impossible to follow the previous paths. Neither thought, nor reason, nor feelings, nothing! Everything that was before was built on absolute egoism, and we can no longer use it.

There is only one thing left: look at the ego as an enemy and at the neighbor as a friend.

Join The Integral System

552.02Question: When someone provides me with some service, I can feel through it his emotional and moral attitude toward me. If I receive some products made by people I do not see and do not know, will I be able to feel them?

Answer: It depends on our agreement. There should be a clear program, clear policy, clear social agreement in society that people will produce only what they need and provide it to everyone.

Therefore, there should be common places established for producing necessary food, clothing, machinery, and so on.

But the most important thing will be aiming at mutual education, revealing the internal forces of the integral system of nature in the correct connection between us. This will help us create our own integral system of human relationships, which will be similar to nature. Then we will be called Adam, from the word “similar to nature.”

Question: What is better from the point of view of the internal laws of nature: to work for me, for the employer, or for the country?

Answer: From the Kabbalistic point of view, it doesn’t matter who you work for. It is because a person, society, country, the entire Earth, and all of nature in general are one integral system. We need to be included in this system first out of necessity and then voluntarily by our will and with love.

There are stages of our inclusion in the general system. Yet, it all begins with love for one’s neighbor and extends to universal love for the entire nature, for the entire system of integral connection.

For The Sake Of Society, Not For Yourself

546.02Question: Can you explain the principle of “from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs”? Can we say that this is the main principle of the new economy?

Answer: Naturally. Society should give a person what is necessary for his normal existence, no more and no less. In return, it should require of him all possible participation in the life and prosperity of society.

Do not measure the good of society by the growth of product output. If you have everything you need, there is no need to increase production. Man is the same animal. He needs as much as he can consume. Not more.

He should not consume 5,000 calories today if he consumed 2,000 yesterday. The growth of social welfare does not consist in this, but in a greater connection between people, in order to reveal to each other the higher layers of nature.

Remark: By saying this, you are canceling Maslow’s pyramid. It is clear that the rich can no longer eat and sleep in three beds. But behind basic needs, there is social growth of egoistic desires for honor, power, and knowledge. You can not jump over them.

My Comment: It depends on your upbringing. When I use these means to benefit society, they will not be defined as power, knowledge, strength, fame, etc. It will be called something else because I do it for the sake of society.

Question: What will a person enjoy?

Answer: The fact that he will be respected not for power, but for working for others. He will evaluate his work in accordance with the assessment of society.

Question: So, will the desire for wealth, power, and knowledge still remain?

Answer: They will take on a different form: for the sake of society, not for their own sake.

Question: Will the rich people still stay?

Answer: No. There will be no rich people. Society will not allow itself to have such people. Moreover, a person brought up in a new environment will not want to be like this.

Question: But the desire for knowledge will certainly continue. Scientists will be respected for their discoveries. What is the difference between today’s scientists and the scientists of the future? What will drive them?

Answer: Those and others are working to satisfy their selfish desire for knowledge. It does not interfere with society. Anything that does not hinder society or allow it to move ahead toward greater integration is commendable. The public good should serve as a compass.

Everything Is Aimed At Connection

557Question: The result of human labor is a product, a service, or information. Before a product reaches the consumer, it goes through dozens, if not millions of hands. For example, for me to drink a cup of coffee, probably millions of people invested their efforts in its collection and production. Can this somehow connect us with each other?

Answer: If we understand how much we are connected with each other in determining a more or less normal, tolerable, or even good existence for everyone, we will appreciate each other. This should be demonstrated to everyone.

Question: Previously, people had organic farms and they ate what they grew in their garden. They did not have much contact with others.

Today, if you look at household items, I think the whole world took some part in producing them. Is there some sort of deep meaning in this?

Answer: From this example, we can see that we are better off communicating with each other so that we would provide for ourselves more easily. After all, in some places of the world it is good to produce, in others to extract, in others to process, and so on. That is, everything depends on the natural conditions.

As it is written in the Torah: “Go and earn from each other.”

Will Connection Between People Change In The Future?

592.01Question: Today the world has become more complex, and I can enjoy all the goods and services even through an egoistic connection. Will it change in the future?

Answer: The connection itself will change. It should not be coerced in order to make money from each other, but conscious in order to provide for each other.

Question: Let’s say that millions of people who produced coffee worked just to earn money. They were thinking not about me, but about their wages. Yet, I received this product.

You are saying that in the future our intention will change, what we are working for? What will happen? Will I feel this somehow when I drink coffee?

Answer: First of all, it is not about coffee. The earth can feed not only 8 billion, but 30 to 40 billion people. Moreover, feed them well. It can also dress them and provide them with shoes, and give everyone a normal home that they are accustomed to, give a system of education and upbringing for their children, and so on. We can provide ourselves with all this without any problems.

The problem is not to produce unnecessary things, not to deplete the Earth, and to work for the sake of making us all comfortable, good, and safe. This is what we must aim for, and in this we must invest tremendous internal forces, not physical, but moral.

Here we begin to bump into our egoism, which places us against each other and does not allow us to be kind to each other. Therefore, we need a common education, a common movement toward a common goal—to make from humanity an integral system.

Where Should I Invest My Money?

629.4Question: Europeans save hundreds of billions of dollars in banks. According to statistics, France, Spain, Italy, and Germany have accumulated about 100 billion euros in savings in banks.

And besides that, even where people barely pull from paycheck to paycheck, where there are meager pensions, people still put money in savings. They don’t put it in a bank, but they put it in a cash box.

That is, people are beginning to save. They are either afraid of a second pandemic, or they don’t trust anyone, and they don’t know the future.

Here I am, a simple man—what can I save for a rainy day?

Answer: Keep saving money. You can’t take this away from a person. But that’s not all. You should understand that money will help you, and it’s good to have it. But in what circumstances will you live tomorrow for this money to help you? Let me draw you a little picture. I’ll clarify for you what you will face, and you can decide what to do. And then I tell the person what tomorrow will be like. Then let him decide what to do.

Tomorrow will be like this: Whether you want to or not, everything is built on a completely good connections between people. People become convinced that egoism is their enemy, and they can no longer exist in it. Otherwise, their oxygen is just blocked for them.

In other words, we do not experience any satisfaction or positive results in any of our activities. We have no choice but to be bound by good ties with one another.

This will gradually become clear from nature. We will suddenly see that nature is changing its laws. That is, there are negative forces and positive forces, and suddenly we see that it is with good forces that we can achieve something, and with evil forces, on the contrary, nothing. How will we proceed? I hope it will be that way.

Question: And then where will I invest the money that I put aside after listening to and following your words? In the education of my child or what?

Answer: Naturally, in upbringing, in education. And, of course, in coming closer to other people.

Question: Will this be the best investment?

Answer: Yes. With this money you will be able to purchase securities, and on each security it will be written that you are connected by good ties with ten, with a hundred, with a thousand people.

Question: And will this be my real money?

Answer: This is your contribution and the environment that you buy for yourself.

How To Compensate For Contradictions Between Generations

571.03Question: How do intergenerational conflicts affect the entire system in a global, interconnected world? Will this difference increase or decrease?

Answer: The difference will grow depending on how generations solve problems of interaction between themselves and within themselves. In this state, they will affect the overall picture of nature, which, in turn, will affect them.

I hope that at the same time, the intelligence of humanity will grow and thus compensate for the contradictions between generations.

Why Are We Doing Work We Hate?

547.05Question: In our modern society, work takes a central place. It is interesting that 80% of people do not like their jobs. We spend a lot of time at work we do not like in order to earn money, to buy things we do not need, and to show off to people who are not important to us. Why do we do that? What is driving us?

Answer: Egoism. But in each specific case we need to discern what aspect of egoism is driving a person and what it wants to lead him or her to. We are talking about the way nature directs us.

However, when we begin to work on ourselves, we direct ourselves to the artificial connection between us in order to create an absolutely complete, integral system out of ourselves.
