We live in a transitional period, from a state of hibernation of humanity to the aspiration to the Creator, that is, to the revelation of the meaning of life.

The revelation of the meaning of life is also just a transitional process where we must rise to the next new state. The transition begins when we start questioning what the meaning of life is: “Why do we need all this? For what?”

The nature of our life, no matter how hard we try, and we really do try very hard, shows us that it is useless and meaningless. As a result, people get detached from the surrounding world; people replace their pleasures with drugs, the most universal means of calming oneself and turning oneself into a plant. After all, this is better than suffering: switch off and that is it.

But since the plan of nature surrounds us and embraces us on all sides, we are inside the system, and escaping from life by using drugs will not help us at all. That is why humanity is trying many ways to somehow calm itself down.

Look at what is happening in the world, what transformations are taking place everywhere, entire nations are moving from one place to another, Europe is filled with refugees.

And this is not the same migration that happened a thousand years ago when the peoples of Asia began to move to Europe. Now this is a very serious process, a process of intermixing; people still must answer the question about the sense of life and admit that there is no meaning to existence at our level.

What can we do? We need to reveal Kabbalah and explain to them that there is a meaning to life; it is in the transition of a person to the next level. Man, “Adam” in Hebrew, is from the word “domeh,” which means “like the Creator.”

They must know that there is a method that is specifically created for us; our progress and development should raise us to the next level. After all, the next level must manifest in us, if not in this lifetime, then in the next. Our next life cycles will still force us to reach the level of similarity to the Creator.

But the lower ones cannot receive the illumination of the left before it is clothed in Hassadim from the right line.

This is why Esau was weary and said, “Behold, I am at the point to die; and what profit shall the birthright do to me?” (Rashbi, Zohar for All, Vol. 3,  “About the Revival of the Dead“)

After all, he wanted to receive the light of Hochma in his egoistic desires, his receiving Kelim, and he is not able to do this.

It is like our whole life. We want to enjoy life; we chase after all the pleasures and want to receive them, but as soon as I am about to achieve some pleasure, it immediately disappears. And so it has been my entire life.

That is why Esau was weary and said: “I cannot continue like this any longer. I am tired. I have despaired of all this. I am ready to unite with Jacob.”

Today all of humanity stands on the threshold of such awareness. And that is why the wisdom of Kabbalah is revealed—the method of Jacob. After all, this is the science of how to build a middle line.

Before such despair came, there was no need for the wisdom of Kabbalah. The need for it has appeared now. After all, the Torah is revealed from the middle line, the correction of egoism.

Question: I read an article that says the Italian thinker, writer, philosopher, and politician of the 15th century Machiavelli wrote:

If you are chosen as king, and the crown turns out to be big, then first it will fall on your eyes… And you will not see anything!

Then it will fall on your ears… And you won’t hear anything!

Then it will slide down to your lips… And you won’t be able to say anything!

In the end, it will fall on your neck… And it will become your collar, by which your own slaves will lead you to execution!

And you will see everything, you will hear everything, and you will be able to say everything…

But no one will listen to you anymore and you will have nothing to say!

Please tell us: The crown symbolizes power; what does it mean when it stays on your head and does not fall?

Answer: When it is on your head, it means it crowns you, that you are the king. It is the symbol of the head of the state.

Question: So you are the first person in the state. You are a parent, and so on. What does it mean when the crown gradually falls off, that it is too big? What is it regarding a leader? What happens to the authorities when they do not hear?

Answer: The leader sees nothing.

Question: Doesn’t he see anyway?

Answer: Look at these leaders.

Question: Can you tell us why this is so?

Answer: Power! It is all about the power.

Question: So when you treat it like, “It is all about me, this is my power”—is that the end?

Answer: That is the end. You are being gradually shut out from the whole world.

Question: So it turns out if the crown on my head does not fall, then do I not say: “I am the power, I am the king”?

Answer: The king must learn from everyone, he must understand that all wisdom is, in fact, among the people, among the masses. And those he selects and brings near him are not his close ones.

Question: So I won’t be able to learn anything from politicians or my close associates?

Answer: Correct.

Question: The quote says the crown goes through all the states, falls on the throat, becomes a collar, and you are led by your slaves to execution. And now you see everything, you can say everything, but no one hears you. What does it mean that slaves are taking you to execution?

Answer: That you stopped being an authority to them. Conversely, they see their future in your destruction.

Comment: That is, all these revolutions, coups, and so on is when the crown fell on the throat, and the slaves would lead one to execution. But this has happened in our history all along.

My Response: Sure.

Question: And slaves are the ones who always lead them to execution. Why is this happening? Do we never learn?

Answer: No, a person who reaches power stops hearing and listening, and is no longer capable of anything.

Question: How do you see the future politician keeping this crown?

Answer: I see a future politician surrounded by the smartest people! They are chosen as advisers only because of their special abilities. The king is elected by them and thus exists for the good of the country.

Question: Should there be fear, an awe in him: “If I …”?

Answer: There must be responsibility. He should constantly be in touch with them, constantly working with them.

Question: And when his “I” suddenly wakes up in him: “I am the leader, I am the king”? What should he do about it?

Answer: It is necessary to convince him that he must kill his “I” all the time.

Comment: You once said the leader of a state, say, a king, a tsar, should be a father to his people.

My Response: Yes.

Question: When you say this, what do you mean by it, other than what we understand?

Answer: He must care.

Question: Is that the main thing?

Answer: Yes, caring about everyone.

Question: Is such a level of empathy possible?

Answer: In general, yes.

Question: Do you see such leaders arising in the future?

Answer: I do not know. We are already on a different path. So that…perhaps through some obstacles…

Comment: Thorns.

My Response: Yes, we will break through.

Question: Will we break through?

Answer: We will.

Question: I read a story about a Korean woman who was flying from Seoul to California with her four-month-old baby. Before the flight, she handed out 200 small bags to all the passengers.

In the bags were earplugs, sweets, and a note: “Hello, I am Joon Woo, I am four months old, and I am flying to America with my mom and grandma. This is my first flight, and I might cry. My mom prepared candies and earplugs for you. Please use them if it gets too noisy because of me. Please do not be upset with me. Sorry, and thank you.”

As a result, this boy, Joon Woo, behaved wonderfully and slept for all 10 hours.

What do you think of the mother’s attitude, the Korean woman’s, toward others?

Answer: This is certainly commendable.

Question: Please tell me, what plays a bigger role here: a national trait or upbringing?

Answer: I think it is more of a national trait. I don’t know them well enough, but it seems to me that they have this characteristic—not to disturb others.

Question: Can this be nurtured in a person, and should it be?

Answer: It can be nurtured, and it should be. But who will take on this task?

Question: So, here you have this question here: “But who are the judges?” Meaning, “Who are the teachers?”

Answer: Yes.

Question: So the teachers must fully embody this quality in order to nurture it.

Why is it that some people are uncomfortable disturbing others while others say the opposite: “Why are you bothering me?” Why does this happen?

Answer: It depends on upbringing. It depends on how much each of us is willing to look at the world through different eyes.

Question: Through the eyes of not wanting to disturb others. Am I instead always looking through the eyes of being disturbed?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Is this how most of the world is? “I’m being disturbed.”

Answer: The natural world is the one that looks from its egoism.

Question: If we consider the cause of divorces using the example of this Korean woman, could we say that if we care about making others comfortable with us, there would be no divorce?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So what is the root cause of divorces?

Answer: Only that we do not understand each other.

Comment: That is, I feel uncomfortable with you, and I start to…

My Response: Yes. I cannot put myself in your shoes.

Question: If I may ask, what is the cause of wars, using the example of this Korean woman? If one country cares about making it comfortable for another country to live with it, there would be no wars. Such fantastic scenarios…

But in what case does a war occur?

Answer: When one side refuses to understand the other side.

Question: Will this ever end? Can we be educated like this Korean woman and gradually…

Answer: I hope so. But this requires very serious investments in people.

Question: In education? Do you mean purely financial or spiritual investments as well?

Answer: Serious investments of effort and money. Of everything possible.

Question: Will anyone ever decide to do this?

Answer: I think so, because eventually there will be no other choice. It seems to me that we are currently in a transitional state where this might happen. People need to be given such an education that they will feel the need to change themselves.

Question: Tell me, will this happen? You say that we might be approaching this. Will it happen because of pain, suffering, or through understanding, from some light ahead?

Answer: Through pain and suffering.

Comment: You still believe that…

My Response: I believe… I am a materialist.

Question: A materialist. So through blows, essentially?

Answer: Yes, only through blows!

Question: Are mutual incorporation and unity the same property?

Answer: They are the same property.

Question: Will the world reach a state where the desire to be mutually incorporated awakens in it?

Answer: It must, of course. The whole development of the world is moving toward compelling us to come closer.

We influence humanity with our desire to rise above our own qualities because we see how these qualities jeopardize the attainment of the ultimate goal.

Question: Will people be happy when they feel that mutual incorporation brings them the joy of life?

Answer: The connection between us ensures exactly this; it grants us ease and a sense of elevation.

Question: The most talked-about name today either excites, terrifies, depresses, or inspires hope in people: Trump. How do you view today’s Trump? What is this phenomenon?

Answer: In general, it is not a new phenomenon and is quite known in America. He enjoys making all kinds of grand gestures.

Comment: To be in the spotlight.

My Response: Exactly. I think we will quickly get used to him, and people will realize that it’s like “letting a child play around.” That is his style, his hallmark.

Question: Why has the world reacted so strongly? How has the world changed to respond this way?

Answer: Every politician primarily thinks about how to attract as much electorate to their side as possible.

Question: So does he clearly understand that he stirs people up and wins them over in this way?

Answer: Of course. He is no longer young; he understands how this game is played.

Question: So do you think this is his strategy, that everything is calculated?

Answer: Definitely. Would he have been allowed to stay otherwise?

Question: To rule?

Answer: No, he would have been just killed.

Question: Is there a larger agenda behind this, and does someone benefit from it?

Answer: Absolutely.

Question: You said, “He is just like that.” What trait in him is necessary for the world today to be shaken up?

Answer: The need to show off.

Question: Is it that simple?

Answer: Not entirely, there are deeper layers, but fundamentally, yes.

Question: Is this what fulfills him? If we are talking about his fulfillment.

Answer: Yes.

Question: Are people celebrating him like this?

Answer: Yes, they are excited to have a presidential candidate who can “show who is the boss,” slam a fist on the table, and do something outrageous and unpredictable.

Question: Let’s be honest, he has accomplished things in the past. He did quite a bit for Israel: moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem and recognized the Golan Heights. He has, in a way, proven himself as a man of action, has he not?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: I remember you said a true leader is someone who feels a sense of responsibility, as though they are caring for their own children, and who could come to the principle of “Love your neighbor as yourself”—or at least approach it.

My Response: I don’t think anyone expects those kinds of words from him.

Question: Do people expect direct decisions from him tough? And he will likely meet those expectations, will he not?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: He is also promising to stop wars.

My Response: I do not believe that. That does not depend on Trump.

Comment: Trump is known for unconventional decisions, his ability to take risks, and so on. But being President of the U.S. is not a gamble. Still, it feels like he is taking chances.

My Response: No, I do not think it is a gamble.

Question: So is he taking risks, bluffing, or not?

Answer: No.

Question: You still see calculation in his actions?

Answer: Everything is calculated.

Question: Many criticize Trump; that is well-known. What helps him ignore the criticism, the constant attacks from all sides?

Answer: What else can he do? He has to play the same game, accept their moves, and learn to respond. This is a high-stakes game.

Question: Do you think he still pays attention to the criticism?

Answer: He has a huge team of people monitoring everything, analyzing it, and explaining to him what in fact is happening, each from a different perspective. And what happens next, we will see.

Question: What would you personally, sincerely, want Trump to do?

Answer: I think the greatest thing he could do is stop the hatred between the left and the right across all countries.

Question: Do you mean worldwide?

Answer: Yes, he should try to address it. And then we will see.

Question: So you are thinking globally. Do you see this division as the root cause of all problems and conflicts?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What does the leader of such an influential country, one that the entire world watches, need to do? He cannot simply say: “Stop hating, love one another.” What foundational steps should he take?

Answer: I am not sure he has the strength to do it. But the time, the place, and the topic are precisely this: will the world continue trying to circumvent the opposing side…

Question: The right circumventing the left and vice versa?

Answer: Yes. Or will the world strive for greater balance after all? That is hard to predict.

Comment: So if he managed to lay this foundation, you would say: “This is what I would want.” To stop this hatred between people.

My Response: I think in his previous term he was more realistic. What he will bring this time, I do not know.

Question: What do you think the Creator is trying to convey to our world by placing someone like Trump as a world leader (essentially a world leader)? After all, “The hearts of ministers are in the hands of the Creator.” What message is being sent to humanity in your opinion?

Answer: That we need to learn how to live under leaders like him. I am not criticizing Trump; on the contrary, I am pointing out that we are in a unique period where we can come closer to solving our main issue. I think it is possible. Beyond that, I do not know.

He does not have any major obstacles! He can step forward and truly feel like a leader. I believe he should seize this opportunity.

Comment: Scientists have concluded that by 2050, humanity will face 10 major problems: genetic modification of humans, an increase in the proportion of the elderly population, the disappearance of cities, the evolution of social networks, new geopolitical tensions, transportation safety, depleting natural resources, colonization of other planets, expansion of the capabilities of our brain, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence.

My Response: None of this is going to happen. All of our current development is aimed at bringing us to a dead end. It seems that we can deal with multiple problems, populate planets, develop deserts, anything at all. We can build, destroy, or run amok with it all. But our egoism will not allow us to do this.

It will make our lives unbearable and lead to a state of a continuous chain of conflicts between us: between family members, children, and parents, with neighbors living in the same city or in the same borough. It doesn’t matter where or about what, we will be unable to get along with each other to the point that we will end up sprinting to the bakery with a machine gun through the deserted streets. And it is going to be a dreadful life. Egoism will lead us to this.

No inventions will help us. They will not give anything. First of all, we will use them to subjugate all people, to profit from everyone, to suppress everyone. We can see how technology is advancing and for what purpose it is being used.

So let us take a look at what prevents us from being happy!

Happiness is not about inhabiting other planets, these lifeless celestial bodies, and it is not about driverless cars driving instead of us, or that we would live for 200 years. Our 70 or 80 is enough for us. There is no need for more! It is not about how long to live, but how to live! There is no way to escape death. Pushing it away is just a foolish pursuit!

We need to make it so that while we are still alive in this world, we will start feeling ourselves eternal, existing infinitely. This is the solution to the problem, not getting caught up in solving mundane problems in our own egoism. It is going to ruin everything for us anyway.

We cannot say that today we are happier than those who lived 50 years ago. They did not have the electronic gadgets that we play with now, but that did not make them any less happy.

I see from today’s statistics that people are less happy and that humanity is in a deeper depression.

Nowadays everyone is starting to think about how and where to consume marijuana or something else to escape. Why would a person need to live for 200 years?! So that he could spend 100 of them in a narcotic dream?!

We have to create a good life for ourselves. And it is achieved very simply—through kind relationships between us. Otherwise we are destined for Armageddon.

Do you know what Armageddon is? There is a small mountain in Israel (har is mountain in Hebrew) called Megido. A couple of thousand years ago, there were some skirmishes there. Since then, this figurative expression has been used: Armageddon—the end of the world.

Actually, we do not have to wait for that. You can still climb this hill and look down from it. It is not that big, only 700 to 800 meters high. Let us not push ourselves to extreme states. Let us make our lives calm, good, and happy today, not in 50 years from now.

And most importantly, with the help of the science of Kabbalah, we can begin to feel the next life, the upper world, the transition from one state to another, from one cycle to another. It is all within our power.

I wish you to discover the eternal state of growing and contented matter for yourselves.

Comment: There is a war in Israel. We are focusing heavily on technology: defense technology like the Iron Dome, laser technology, attack technologies like bunker-busting bombs, advanced aircraft, and so on.

I keep thinking that sooner or later, the other side will also acquire these technologies.

My Response: Of course.

Comment: They have plenty of funds; they will buy advanced technologies somewhere. It will be a battle of technologies.

My Response: That is the future, yes.

Question: When will there be a turning point where we start thinking about the root of the problem?

Answer: The root of the problem is unsolvable. That is why people focus on the consequences, on ways of delivery and defeat in various forms.

Question: You say it so definitively, is there no point in continuing?

Answer: Yes, of course.

Question: Why are you so certain we won’t reach the root? We won’t want to reach it, as I understand?

Answer: Do you mean the egoism of a person?

Comment: You said it yourself just now, egoism of a person is the root of all problems.

My Response: I have yet to see any method in the world that can somehow limit it. What we need here is the recognition of the evil of our egoism and an understanding of how we can be healed from it.

Question: Tell me, how does this egoism draw wars toward us? Egoism essentially wants us to feel good on the inside, right?

Answer: Yes, but the problem is that when things are good on the inside, they can be bad on the outside. We don’t understand how to control our egoism so that things are good.

Question: You have often spoken about unity among the people of Israel, unity within the nation, one heart, and so on. When you talk about this, are you addressing the root of the issue?

Answer: Yes, I am speaking about the root, about what the people can do in our time and generation to ensure that the world knows no more wars.

Question: Are you even saying “no more wars in the world”?

Answer: Yes, exactly.

Comment: You are not just saying wars will end for us.

My Response: No, that is beyond our control.

Comment: So our focus should be…

My Response: Peace worldwide.

Question: Does this depend on us?

Answer: Yes.

Question: How can we reach that?

Answer: We need to study the Torah. It is explained there in simple terms. If we want peace, we must actively make it. We have to bring peace into action ourselves.

Question: By uniting?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is that the entire issue?

Answer: That is the issue.

Question: So when you say the root is unreachable, what do you mean? On one hand, you are calling for it; on the other, you say it is unreachable.

How do we understand that?

Answer: It is unreachable by human forces or intellect. But it is completely reachable through our inner efforts, when we can cry out to the Creator and show Him that we are ready for peace, for peace between us. From there, peace can spread throughout the world.

Question: How many wars, disasters, or sufferings are needed to reach this point?

Answer: It does not matter; maybe none at all.

Question: Can we get ahead of all this suffering?

Answer: Of course.

Question: What brings about this understanding? You say “we can get ahead of suffering.” So an inner or outer understanding can come sooner. Where does it come from? You often say that suffering moves a person forward one way or another. But here?

Answer: We have already experienced enough suffering to envision a world filled with suffering and a world without it, which allows us to choose which world we want to belong to.

Question: So is that the root of all our problems and the world’s problems?

Answer: Yes, all of them.

Question: A follow-up question then. Can we combine technological development with an understanding of this root problem? Suppose we understand the root problem and, at the same time, continue developing technology. Or is understanding the root problem enough, so everything else falls away?

Answer: Once we begin to understand the root problem, we won’t feel the need to advance technology. Right now, we think that developing various technologies can convince others worldwide that we have the strongest military and so on. But a completely different approach is needed. Everyone must realize that peace can’t be achieved through war, but only by agreeing to peace. And then peace will come from above.

Question: Agree to peace between us?

Answer: Peace between us, among all nations and countries. We can agree and achieve it without specific conditions or efforts, without any of this. We only need to recognize the difference between peace and war until we fully grasp what these concepts mean.

Question: What does peace mean?

Answer: Peace is when everyone lives together in harmony.

Question: But who among ordinary, normal people wouldn’t want this? People want to live this way!

Answer: People don’t realize that the start of a war is so far removed from anything resembling war that it seems entirely peaceful. And that is how it begins. Then suddenly everything unravels into a full-fledged war.

Question: What is this beginning like? You say the start of war is far from war itself. What is it?

Answer: It is when I disagree with someone else.

Question: That is the start of a war?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So I don’t agree, I’ve cut off ties, I don’t love them, I’ve distanced myself, is that all part of it?

Answer: Yes, small moments like these.

Question: Even between one person and another?

Answer: Even between one person with another. We need to pay attention to every one of these details.

Question: So war, in all its horror, is built from these bricks?

Answer: Yes.

Question: The outer, terrible one we know?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So peace, first and foremost, is in these connections?

Answer: Peace is a complete connection of hearts.

Peace Will Come Only in One Case

Question: A year has passed since the catastrophe on October 7^th when the war began.

Terrorists from Gaza broke into Israeli territory and killed 1,432 people including 341 women and 36 children, one of whom was a 10-month-old baby.

251 people were taken hostage and transported to Gaza and 97 of them are still in captivity.

The phrase that had been said before: “Quiet for quiet”—if you’re quiet with us, we will be quiet with you did not work. On October 7^th they started killing us.

A year has passed. What should we understand about ourselves and our society after these events?

Answer: We need to understand that we must not fear anyone. We must not show anyone that we can forgive when they come to kill us. We should not do that.

We must clearly understand that our salvation is only in our own hands, only in our weapons, and in nothing else.

Question: Do you think the events of October 7^th changed how we perceive ourselves as a nation?

Answer: I think they did. They changed us.

Before October 7^th we had hoped for some semblance of mutual, humane relations with others. After this we understand that such a thing is no longer possible, not in any way! Therefore, we now have greater confidence that we will not be dragged into another mess of egoism, bloodlust, and so on, as we were on October 7^th.

Question: How can we ensure that the pain from these events stays with us? And should it?

Answer: It should. It is forever! For as long as we live on this Earth, we must remember that our neighbors are our most bitter enemies. We must never allow ourselves any weakness in this regard.

Question: How will we achieve peace?

Answer: That is when peace will come.

Question: So when we talk about peace, at the same time, do we always know that they do not want it? Is that how it works?

Answer: Yes, that they do not want it and do not even think about it. But when you think about war, then they will strive for peace.

Question: So if I ask you what steps we should take toward peace, are these the steps you are talking about?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Think about peace but at the same time?

Answer: Arm yourself.

Question: You always talk about unity, the unity of the people, and you say that this is our main weapon. It is clear to most people that unity is probably the most important thing. So why can’t we unite? Please explain.

Answer: Because we still do not truly understand within ourselves how necessary it is.

Question: Do we not have that understanding yet?

Answer: No.

Question: Does it come through suffering or what?

Answer: Gradually, through blows, we begin to realize that unity is in fact the most important thing.

Question: But through blows?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So if we do not realize it now, do you expect more to come?

Answer: Definitely.

Question: How can we realize this in a peaceful way, as they say, through light and not through darkness?

Answer: We must become such a strong light that they will fear us.

Question: When you say “we must become a light,” what do you mean?

Answer: That in our desire for peace, we are willing to do everything necessary so that those who oppose it cease to exist.

Question: When you talk about our desire for peace, do you mean peace with our neighbors? Or peace in general?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: And at the same time, you say that we must always be preemptive.

My Response: Of course.

Question: So Israel should always have a policy of preempting strikes.

But how did it happen that for 20 years we lived knowing that in the south they were digging underground Gaza and in the north Hezbollah was arming itself? We knew all this, and yet we somehow lived on. Can you explain this to me? I am trying to understand the mindset of the leadership or even of ourselves.

Something terrible was brewing nearby, and we did not act. Why? Can you tell me what this kind of complacency was about?

Answer: We wanted to appear kind, good, and peace-loving to each other and to the whole world. But this is a terrible delusion.

Question: Really? Should we not care about the world, about the world’s opinion?

Answer: Not at all!

Question: What should we care about?

Answer: Only about the necessity of our existence as the people of Israel because our existence is aimed at achieving the highest state of humanity.

Question: So you call our position, even a corporeal one, the center of the world?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: Today this is becoming more and more apparent. You have always said this actually, that this is the central problem, the central point of the world.

My Response: Yes.

Question: What healing process must we go through?

Answer: We must explain to everyone that the world exists for the purpose of bringing all nations together, uniting them around the most important thing in the world, which is to love your neighbor as yourself.

Question: Are you saying that the whole world should somehow push us toward that?

Answer: Yes.

Question: The world should constantly signal to us that we need to do that?

Answer: Yes.

Question: For them?

Answer: For everyone. This is the central point of the entire existence of the universe.

Alexander writes:

Today is a very foggy time. Everything that we once thought was understandable is incomprehensible. It is unclear if it is a man or a woman, if it is real news or if everything is rigged. It is unclear whether this is the leader of the country or his double. It is unclear whether this is being said by a human or an artificial intelligence, whether it is true or false. Everything is mixed up.

What is all this for? Why are we being driven to complete disbelief in what I see and hear?

Answer: This is really a serious matter. It is so that we would need in the Creator.

Question: Is it His doing to confuse everything for us?

Answer: These are His actions so that we would feel ourselves in a state of confusion so we would have no possible reasonable, correct action left except to grab hold of Him and cling to Him like a child.

Question: So we must be brought to such a state that we will turn to Him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is there any other way we can turn to the Creator? There are prayers, prayer books, religions. Aren’t these appeals to the Creator?

Answer: No, they don’t save you.

Question: Alexander asks another question: “Who should I believe today?” Is there anyone on this earthly plane who can be trusted?

Answer: Of course not.

Question: Is it possible to live without believing in anything, in anyone?

Answer: That is how we get used to it.

Question: So you think that the whole of humanity will be brought to such a state?

Answer: Yes.

Question: If such a request, a prayer to the Creator, were really raised, what would happen? Would He answer?

Answer: The Creator answers anyway, but we do not understand His answers. He tells us that if we go the right way, that is, give up our selfish goals, then we will raise ourselves to the next level of development.

We will be completely different there. First of all, we will not be immersed in ourselves, in egoists. We will strive to make it so that it is the same for everyone. And the most important thing for us will be to act in a way that we feel the need to hold on to each other together.

This is what the Creator wants to lead us to.

Question: Are you talking about the whole of humanity now?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is the relationship between people, between countries, between everything like this?

Answer: Yes., this is our next step.

Question: Why don’t we want to move toward it? It sounds very attractive, with all our reality.

Answer: Should I think about others? I cannot and I do not want to. This is what every person feels.

Question: And will the Creator give us this opportunity if we can turn to Him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But should I want this particular next step?

Answer: I have to come to it, to the fact that I must want it.

Comment: It seems that one can want it coming from something very bad.

My Response: So we are gradually getting down to it.

Question: That is, we will be brought to something very bad so that we ask: “Give us the opportunity to be together”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Alexander also has this question: “Is it necessary to break through to the truth? And how to get to it if necessary?” He says, “Everything around us is untrue, everything is a lie.”

Answer: And we do not know what the truth is.

Question: That is what he is asking: “What is the truth?”

Answer: We do not know that. So what are we going to fight our way to? Just because we do not like our current state does not mean we know how to get out of it. And it turns out to be what it turns out to be.

Question: He is asking you: “What do you personally call the truth?”

Answer: The truth is that in my eyes all people are exactly the same.

Question: Do you mean equality, equals?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So, all people are equal?

Answer: All people. If I want to see it that way and go for it, then it is considered that it is true.

Question: Am I the same as them?

Answer: Absolutely! That is when we will find out what kind of truth it is, what kind of taste it has.
