Question: There was no violence on the screens in the Soviet Union, but I would not say that people there were less violent. Why is this?

Answer: I don’t think that in a society like the Soviet Union, the press, cinema, and theater had much influence on a person. People clearly understood that there was a huge difference between life and what the communist party and government fed them. And therefore, they did not perceive this information.

Comment: Nevertheless, according to psychological research, all media influence the human psyche. There we saw that everything seemed to be fine.

My Response: There was an iron curtain between the individual and the media. Everything that was heard on the radio and television went through a strict filter in advance, and people understood what they were being fed and what they should take from it. Maybe a small grain of information, but nothing more.

And now we are bathed in a huge stream of diverse information. It is all oversold, overbought, distorted. We have no idea how or how much. It is clear that what we read, see on TV, listen to on the radio, and so on, is all distorted information that is transmitted to us by all sorts of interested parties.

But since there are many of them, they are different, and information does not come from the same source of the party and the government, as in the Soviet Union, it is difficult for us to deal with this. So we are being influenced willy-nilly by them. We choose one of several thoughts, although that is also incorrect.

What Does Nature Demand Of Us?

Filed under: Crisis, Globalization - No Comments →

Question: Over the past several hundred years, we have discovered more than 200 physical laws. In addition, there are also social laws that we have invented ourselves: ethics, civil laws, and even religious laws and traditions.

Can we assume that the reason for all our crises and sufferings lies in the fact that we have artificially invented these laws?

Answer: Yes, I absolutely agree.

Question: What does it mean to follow the laws of nature?

Answer: Unfortunately, we do not follow the laws of nature but our egoism, which puts us against nature and does everything to ensure that we destroy it.

Question: So, we have yet to reveal the social laws?

Answer: Of course. These are laws of an integral society in which we are one single whole like all of nature.

We do not separate ourselves from nature, we do not divide it into inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human. We consider it a single global system that exists and develops within itself in absolute interconnection of all its parts. And most importantly, the basic law of this nature is love.

To love means to take into account everyone and everything, to have a kind attitude toward everyone, and realize how much everything that determines my next state will be good for others. I look at nature as an integral system and only care that it is in the best possible condition.

Love As The Law Of Nature

Question: The external manifestations of our incorrect relations cause a crisis. In the economy, this can be shown by such examples as throwing out huge amounts of food to keep market prices higher.

In the field of healthcare, only medicine that is profitable to the pharmaceutical industry is produced. In the field of ecology, the chemical industry annually produces hundreds of tons of inorganic products that pollute the atmosphere. That is, everything is dictated by someone’s profit without taking other people into account.

Don’t people understand that the laws of society are the same laws of nature as the physical laws?

Answer: People cannot touch them, cannot take them into account and implement them. If I don’t feel the limitations from a force, it doesn’t exist for me.

Question: How does the ideology of a consumer society contradict the tendency and laws of nature?

Answer: The point is that nature is integral. It doesn’t do anything in vain. For it, the beginning, middle, and end are states that are equally necessary and exist only to bring it to its best state.

In order for a person to do something, he needs to know the beginning and the end, to feel his full relationship with nature, to understand where he exists. This we do not have, and therefore, we focus only on our egoism.

But in fact, we must necessarily connect to nature, feel the greatness of the goal, and try to go along with it with all our force.

Question: Where did the coronavirus come from? It was believed to be of animal origin. Bats got it, then pets.

Then they said that viruses appear when snow melts, and it is even possible it is from there. Now they say that the intrusion into forests, the Amazon, for example, will bring us a huge number of viruses. Suddenly, it turns out that people who are on some deserted island also get sick with this virus. And there are no bats there.

Great scientists start to wonder where it is from?

Answer: Out of thin air. Not even out of thin air but out of nothing. From the fact that man himself is the source of the virus.

Why? Because when in the process of our growing egoism we treat each other with more and more disdain and rejection, we thereby cause such negative forces in nature that stimulate compounds called viruses.

Question: That is, the virus comes upon our thoughts and actions that are directed against other people?

Answer: Yes. Forces acting between us and generated by us give rise to such a combination of elementary matters, which we call viruses.

Question: So in principle, scientists will not find an antidote to it?

Answer: The antidote comes along the way: start treating each other well and there will be no viruses. And even those that exist will disappear. These will eat those. This is too lofty for scientists because it is at the level of desires, at the level of aspirations, at the level of relationships—something that scientists cannot comprehend.

Scientists work at the level of matter. And this is at the level of subtle matter: desires, love, hatred, fears, and so on.

Question: What is your solution now? To deal with the origin of the virus?

Answer: If we do not do this, we will not even know what we are dealing with. But here we go to the level where we rise from matter to the next level: desires, thoughts, relationships, that is, in general, to subtle matter.

Question: Both viruses and antiviruses originate from there?

Answer: Yes. Everything is there. In general, all matter originates there.

Question: In practice, are you entering the control room of our world?

Answer: Of course. Why not? A thought gave birth to everything, to all nature. “In the beginning was the word.”

Remark: But we cancel all earthly sciences by this.

My Reply: We are not canceling anything. They are absolutely correct at their level.

Remark: But they do not find an antidote. For now, anyway.

My Reply: They cannot find it at their level! What can you do?

Remark: So, a doctor of today should become a sage?

My Reply: Or, today’s sage can be a doctor. And do not demand anything from the doctor.

Question: Or should the doctor understand that this is all on a different level?

Answer: Yes, at the next level. And he must work at his own level, on the earthly one.

The second wave will come, and the third, and more viruses will spread everywhere. We will see that it all depends only on our thoughts, on our feelings, on our relationship to each other.

Question: What is your main advice?

Answer: Not to fly anywhere, to some deserted island. It will not help. Only one thing will help: think well of others.

Remark: Very simple advice for people. It is, of course, very difficult to execute in reality, but it is very simple. Think well of others—we were taught that in kindergarten and at school.

My Reply: And they taught you correctly. If only we could absorb it. perceive it.

Question: What is the secret here? What kind of add-on to “think well of others” is there?

Answer: Our thoughts rule the world.

Question: But can I think well of others?

Answer: No. This must be learned!

Question: What is the secret here? I cannot think well of others. I cannot.

Answer: It is done on purpose so that you cannot. Because your attitude toward others depends on the direction of your thinking, your desire, connection with others, mutual work with each other, in general, from so many conditions that you must develop in yourself, in your society, at least in a small group.

Question: So, until I work it out, we will be exposed to viruses?

Answer: Yes. Not only that.

Question: Can this be worked out in a short period of time? Still, we are now talking about the fact that humanity is sick.

Answer: Hordes of viruses are approaching us.

Remark: So, when can we start getting rid of viruses?

My Reply: We can reduce their harmful effects. We can somewhat postpone all sorts of problems caused by them until we get smarter. But it depends on how much we start now to try and perceive these viruses correctly so that with their help, we can be directed to the right goal.

Let’s really understand their presence among us correctly.

Question: What should I understand?

Answer: I must understand that this is for me, because of me, for my benefit.

There is nothing in nature against man at all. Nothing! Everything is so that we will grow wiser, mature, and change a little—to a positive relationship to each other and in general to the whole of nature.

Question: And if I start understanding this?

Answer: Then you improve your health. You just start to feel physically, morally, and mentally healthy.
At the same time, we reach a completely different level of interaction and perception of nature. That is, our whole life will be at the level of our thoughts, our interactions—positive and negative. And there is nothing in nature except for the plus and minus interacting with each other. And the same with us: we will be able to manage our desires, our thoughts. So simple!

Remark: That is, I enter the level of thoughts, without words. I can remain silent.

My Reply: There are no words, nothing physical at all. We suddenly find ourselves in a huge space completely filled with pluses and minuses. Such particles as thoughts, feelings.

Question: So, there are still minuses there? Isn’t it just filled with goodness, love?

Answer: There can be no plus without a minus.

Question: Is the minus my resistance to the plus?

Answer: Yes, it must exist. And therefore, as we know from Kabbalah, we do not remove our egoism. We only use it correctly.

We open this huge computer in which we exist and begin to interact with it with the help of our thoughts and desires. And we get involved in the work of this computer and bring it into a state of complete equilibrium. All this is in order for it to reveal to us the basic equation of the universe, that all this exists only to reveal happiness.

Question: What do we do? How much must we talk? How long do we have to repeat this? How long are you willing to repeat this? Return to this all the time, how long?

Answer: “As long as I live, the universe shines.” You have nowhere to go.

Question: That is, you have and will have the patience for this, and you will continue?

Answer: I will do it as long as I am able to speak.

Who Is Happy During The Coronavirus Pandemic?
Why Is Nature Punishing Us With Coronavirus?
The Virus—The Integrator

Filed under: Coronavirus, Crisis, Globalization, Health - No Comments →

The crisis that the coronavirus has brought us into, in essence, is the birth of a new world. However, all of humanity looks like a girl who unexpectedly became pregnant, completely unwilling, and is now terrified and does not know what to do.

Let’s not see ourselves in this position. We entered, like an embryo, the process of preparing for birth in a new world. Nature is pregnant, the Creator, who must give birth to us. And He will do it!

But we must help Him; we must agree with this process, unite more and more, and prepare for our birth. Thus, we can accelerate our development, because this pregnancy is not limited to a certain term, but depends on how we manage to unite in order to be ready to be born.

The only thing that is required of us is connection. We have to always think about how to connect more and more, and then we will understand how to behave during the delivery. There is still a long way to delivery. After all, if we are born before we are all connected together, then the baby will be born deformed, some organs will be missing in its body since we are not fully connected.

Through our connection, we are forming the body of the newborn humanity, and therefore, we are obliged to unite in such a way that this baby is born healthy, with all the necessary organs. An unsuccessful delivery should be out of the question.

If our union is not correct, then nature, the Creator, will bring such troubles, will put such pressure on us that we will have to unite. The birth canal is very narrow, and we will have to rally very strongly to get out.

If we connect, we can easily get out. And besides, we need to change our values ​​so that previously important things become unimportant, and vice versa, what previously was unimportant becomes important. This will mean that we are turning our heads upside down and we all share the same opinion.

And then labor pains come, which are well known to women. But now we all will have to go through them in a spiritual form so they prepare us for the birth in a new world. All this is ahead of us because we have not even collected ourselves in the form of an embryo so far.

The coronavirus is helping us tremendously to advance toward this birth, leaving us only the bare essentials and putting everything else aside. Therefore, it can be considered a medicine and not a blow. The opposite is true: with what the Creator beats us, He heals us.

A drop of semen has begun to develop, a spiritual gene (Reshimo) from the new world, which has awakened in us based on the fact that we have already completely exhausted our previous state. It is developing in each of us and in all of us together, and it contains information about the new state of humanity, just like the cell from which the embryo begins, a drop of semen.

The spiritual embryo floats in the light of Hassadim, in mother’s waters, with which it then exits during the correct birth. If we behave correctly and unite into a healthy embryo, we will feel that we are in the light of Hassadim, in the ocean of mercy, in the mother’s womb. Our embryo will grow and develop month after month and learn to see the new world in which it is supposed to be born.

If we do not unite, then our state will grow worse and worse, and we can reach real hunger. Nature will persuade us to change our values and understand that there is nothing but uniting: a group or death.

After all, we have not even attached to the wall of the womb yet. This requires connection above everything. We must become an embryo within the upper mother, all of nature, the Creator, and begin to develop in Him in order to be rewarded with birth.

It is easier for women to understand this process because they have gone through it and have felt it inside themselves. And now both men and women must go through this process and feel themselves in the womb and develop there. Despite the fact that this is a dark place regarding our egoism, regarding the desire for bestowal and unity, this is a world full of light, which gives us new development and new life.

Question: In order to bring oneself closer to observing the laws of nature, must one learn to receive from society only what is necessary and give as much as possible?

Answer: Not as much as possible, but to use all your forces and abilities to give, to receive necessities but only for ordinary, normal, human existence.

This means that I am in balance with nature, giving everything to it at the human level and receiving what I need at the animal level. The pandemic will lead us to this; if this one does not, then the next one will.

Question: In such a case, where is our free choice?

Answer: This is the free choice: “by the stick to happiness,” as they say.  🙂

This is obvious today from all that is happening. And you can try to equalize yourself with the state of complete, mutual, integral responsibility.

Question: Why should I believe this? Maybe this is all not true?

Answer: If we proceed from ordinary laws, there seems to be nothing special in this. But if you begin to logically calculate everything that a person does based on his egoism, you will see that this force simply drives us into the grave.

On the other hand, how would we act if we are on the same small globe and have become practically a single community? Get together and decide how we can coexist properly.

Question: Despite our inherently selfish nature, we can, under the influence of our environment, cultivate certain values that are opposite to our selfish inclinations. Is this freedom of choice?

Answer: Yes. Excellent wording, simple and clear to everyone.

We are living in a new era, and the old one will not return. Therefore, there is no point in sitting and grieving for the old life, like an old man who remembers his younger years with tears. This time is gone, over! We were thrown out of our previous state, the door closed behind us, and there is no way back.

It is impossible to manage anything in the world today with the help of the old systems. What’s left is just to ensure they don’t work. In the next year or six months, we will see the collapse of many of the systems we have built: financial, industrial, and educational, which will crumble before our eyes like a house of cards.

And then, how to exist? We will have to abandon all the systems built over the past hundred years—companies, banks, industry, commerce, health care, and education—and move to a new system.

Calmly, friends, without panic and without nerves! We have grown up in order to now consciously move into a new state, holding the management in our hands.

Everything that was controlled by our egoism according to a single program, to win more, which meant success, and it does not work today. Nature is introducing a new program to us. And I can no longer make a profit by what worked before: expensive things. The coronavirus is deliberately preventing us from retaining the old systems.

We are already in a new system, but we don’t know how to use it. The new system is the ten, the world Kabbalistic group. It is necessary to start building a new humanity, new relationships from heart to heart. You don’t need anything else. According to the new internal non-egoistic relationships, it will become clear how to build relationships in business. They must correspond to a heart-to-heart relationship.

A new desire will bring a new method of communication in business. Everything will change. The old will be destroyed, but the new production will grow even more than before, but for the sake of bestowal, mutual involvement. The principle should be different: for the benefit of all and not to harm anyone! No one should win more than others at someone else’s expense; everything is only for a better connection.

And then businesses will start to grow before your eyes, as it is said: “The sprouts have come out of the ground,” and there will be a new crop, a new harvest, all over again. This is called “the field blessed by the Creator.” And the principles of connection can only be borrowed from the ten, from the connection between us.

My new article on Linkedin “Our Childhood Is Over”

We can get all teary-eyed over it, but it won’t help. The world we knew until the beginning of this year is over and will not return. And with it, it took our childhood. Until Covid-19, we were like kids wrecking up the house doing whatever they want while the parents are out on business. But Covid showed us that they’re not gone; they’re just invisible. And instead of showing up and yelling at us, they sent an invisible force with the odd name, SARS-CoV-2, aka, the novel coronavirus, which sent us home and told us to stay home. And every time we come out, it returns and lands another blow until we learn we must obey.

The virus has come to teach us how to be grownups, responsible for our common home, and accountable to one another. It has come to turn us from unruly children into caring adults, who tend to one another and to the world around them.

We don’t like it; we want to get rid of it, but we are gradually realizing that we can’t, and probably will never be able to, at least until we do what it tells us: “Stay apart and stop infecting one another.”

We already know that Covid-19 is affecting our brains, but what we haven’t realized is that it is affecting our hearts. It will change our hearts from alienation to connection. For now, it only increases our loneliness, but at some point, we will realize that to connect and not be lonely, we have to connect in our hearts before we connect in our bodies. Only then we will overcome seclusion, the negative influence we have projected on each other will be reversed, and this will be our healing.

The virus has come to teach us how to be grownups, responsible for our common home, and accountable to one another. It has come to turn us from unruly children into caring adults, who tend to one another and to the world around them.

Just as children do not notice as they grow until they are already adults, we will see what we have become only after the fact. And probably, only then will we be thankful to the virus, without which we wouldn’t be able to disconnect from our previous, infantile, and destructive little selves, and become mature, responsible, and caring humanity.

Question: In translation from Greek “crisis” means turning point. In Chinese, these are two symbols: the first is “chance,” the second is “danger.”

That is, a crisis is a birth. What should be born?

Answer: A new society. A new person. In times of crisis, there are always a certain turn in development, a leap.

Question: Why is the future described as the apocalypse in all prophetic books? Why couldn’t they describe some good states?

Answer: Because in our development the next good step is born only with the help of great pressures, wars, like a mother gives birth to a child in great suffering. A person who understands this rejoices in the crisis. But at the same time, he worries about the suffering that everyone feels.

We all understand perfectly well the process of giving birth to a child. It is a very complicated ordeal for a female body, although it is perfectly adapted to it. During labor, there is always a great load on the fetus that must get out through the birth canal under very serious, pressured conditions.

Imagine that a new society is born in the same way. Nature must put a lot of pressure on us so that we want to be born different.

It must force us to demonstrate the right direction and put a certain amount of effort to become different. We need to get to a condition when we must at all costs leave our comfortable intrauterine state and change it to a rather uncomfortable external state.

So there are a lot of problems here. To this day, under all progressive conditions, humanity looks at the birth of a child as something special and does not take it for granted.

Question: Of course, the birth process itself is difficult. But why did Kabbalists describe the final state as some kind of apocalypse?

Answer: Yes, it looks like an apocalypse. After all, those strains under which a baby is born should affect human society at its birth at a new level. And, of course, we will experience these states as very unpleasant. Therefore, we need to educate ourselves so that we feel them as necessary.

A baby is in its mother’s body with its head up, and at birth it turns its head down and exits through the birth canal. In the same way, with the birth of a new society, the consciousness of humanity, its entire worldview, is turning upside down.

Birth is absolutely opposite to the prenatal state. When a man is spiritually born, he reveals a different, upper world.

Question: But what does he see? Today I experience this world through my five senses. I have certain principles on which my worldview is based. And what will change? What will I start to see?

Answer: You will begin to see the surrounding world in a completely different way. You will see the forces that control it, and your abilities to affect this world.

We must strive to ensure that our appeal to the Creator is as far as possible from our egoism, and we want to unite at a central point between everyone. This means that I nullify myself and treat everyone on an equal footing, and for me there are no good or bad, close or distant, all are absolutely equal.

I always take care not to think about my own benefit, feelings, understanding, or fulfillment, and I do everything only in order to build a Kli, unification, unity, the place of the Creator’s revelation, His greatness.

The Creator is called “place,” and we need to think about what the characteristic, the property, of this place is, this area that we build among ourselves. And then, according to these properties, the essence of this place, we are rewarded with the revelation of the Creator. We create this place by our own self-cancellation, by striving to build it together on equal terms.

And then the Creator will indeed have a place where He can reveal Himself. This place already exists, but in an egoistic form. And we nullify our egoism and allow everyone to be in this place. It turns out that this place is higher than our egoism, higher than reason, and we have built an area where the Creator can reveal himself. We ourselves create the Creator.

If we create such a place for the revelation of the Creator, then it really turns out that “There is none else besides Him.” Indeed, by nullifying our desires to enjoy and wanting to connect all over them together, we build something new that did not exist before. It is said about this: “You created Me.”

And from this the correct solution becomes clear for the problem we have in this material world where conflicts flare up more and more: the left against the right, some parties and factions against others. There is no end in sight to this feud, and the unrest threatens to escalate into civil war.

We must understand that all these disputes will lead us nowhere, and that there is only one solution—for each to give in for the other and recognize the right to existence of all other opinions. The Creator will not allow us to neglect our opinions or destroy others. Egoism is eternal; only on top of it can we build a place for the Creator to reveal Himself.

Therefore, there is only one solution for all conflicts in the world, between all countries. And they will grow more and more in order to lead us to this unique decision: In the end, all transgressions will be covered by love—each will make a little room and give room to everyone else.

It does not matter whether one is left or right, any most unusual opinion has a right to exist because only in the right connection between them, when everyone sacrifices something for the other, do we build a round area. There is room for everyone in this circle because it is built on mutual concessions for the sake of common existence.

Therefore, there should be no hatred of the right against the left or the left against the right, someone against others, but there should be the recognition that there is a place for any trend, and I only hate my egoism, which wants to cancel all the others. But I hate it only because it prevents me from connecting with others, and nothing more.

After all, it is above egoism that I can build a connection with others if I reduce it a little. This is how I eventually build the place that will be called “The Creator.” The Creator will open and the world will exist as a place for the Creator’s revelation.

No one should think about his hatred of others and their abolition, but give each a place in order to build a place for the Creator to live by our mutual concessions. And if there are no opposing opinions, parties, movements, people, or opponents against me, then I will not be able to build a place for the disclosure of the Creator. The Creator exists only in the place of our mutual concessions.

Therefore, we will see how hatred and opposition grow. There is no need to hope that the unrest will subside. On the contrary, it will get worse and worse. But with our correct approach, we can set an example for the rest. First of all, we need to give a place to another, and teach the other to also give a place to the rest.

So we will balance the system of our relations, balance the opposing forces, and we will keep a place between us built on the concessions of each relative to everyone else, where everyone is included. If we manage to build such an area, then we will give the world the method of revealing the Creator.
