Question: How can we determine what is “truth” and what is “falsehood” if we ourselves create both?

Answer: Today we take various values, such as “truth” and “falsehood,” as standards or benchmarks. Yet all these things are relative. What appears to us as false today may seem to be truth tomorrow, and what seems to be truth today may appear as a falsehood tomorrow.

Everything depends on our egoistic development. The further we advance, the deeper we look into the surrounding nature and into ourselves. Therefore, there is no absolute standard either in nature as we perceive it or within ourselves; everything depends on the degree of our development. In that case, it is impossible to determine what is good and what is bad, what is true and what is false. All of it is highly relative.

However, if we were to discover the general law of nature—an absolute law that exists independently of man, not relative to him, not conditioned by the egoistic human being who undergoes development, but existing objectively in the surrounding reality—then, in accordance with that law, we would also come to know what truth is and what absolute falsehood is.

Then, through this, we would no longer be mistaken. On the contrary, we would be able to develop our attitude and our approach according to these standards. As a result, our development would truly become beneficial, desirable, and directed toward the good of the entire world.

Thus, the knowledge of the general law of nature and its implementation—not from the ego of man, but from the desire to come into balance and harmony with that universal law—is, in essence, the source of everything good. Through this we will come to a good life and truly discover what truth is and what falsehood is.

At present, the point in the heart within the more developed nations reveals a sense of emptiness to them, the inability to fulfill their lives through the five senses. In their despair and confusion, they turn to drugs and other escapes, seeking only to flee from reality.

We will see how Europe gradually descends into a state where even development itself comes to a halt, because there will no longer be any stimulus, any desire driving it forward. The same will become evident among Americans who speak so passionately about progress, work, and money. Gradually, we will see an entire society that no longer wishes to do anything, and this, too, is part of the process of development.

Why, then, do they not come to Kabbalah? Because their time has not yet arrived. For now, they are only beginning to discover the futility of seeking fulfillment within this world. The signs are everywhere: culture is no longer important, literature is no longer important, and even progress itself no longer seems important.

Were it not for the fear of physical survival, the world would long ago have ceased to develop altogether. Such is the path of both the individual and humanity as a whole. A person begins to feel that he cannot fulfill himself. He has no strength and no desire to do anything. He does not know what he is working for. He is confused, unable to find a direction, unable to understand what is worth striving for or searching for. He abandons everything and, naturally, loses all desire to work.

Gradually, this process will encompass the entire world until humanity discovers the pointlessness of all its development. Are we truly happier today than those who once lived in caves? In what way? Because we have a hundred television channels? Who even watches them? A person will come to feel, in every aspect of life, that nothing truly fulfills him.

All of this takes place before the point in the heart is revealed in an open and tangible form. Yet even these states are beneficial; they are stages of advancement. They are very distinct stages. Just look at how humanity has progressed over the past hundred years in its understanding of the reality it lives in.

Question: Is it really possible to just go from hatred to love? One moment you hate, clearly hate, and suddenly after some time passes, say next year, we shift to love. Can that happen, or is it fantasy?

Answer: We can do that. We are in such extreme states, states that are opposite to this feeling, that we are capable of doing it.

Comment: That is very strange. You said that since we are in opposite states, we can do it.

My Response: Yes, because we see where we end up, where all our efforts and achievements vanish, everything slips through our fingers, and we cannot achieve anything. We are like blind, foolish puppies. That is how we live. It is terrible! I have no words for it!

But if we ask nature to change us, we will experience a transformation of forces, feelings, and qualities beyond anything we could expect. Because the Creator is love.

Question: How do I find out what nature has in store for me and where it is leading me?

Answer: Nature is leading you to realize the possibilities you have to change the future, and reach it. This depends on each person’s participation in that future.

Question: What possibilities do I have? I don’t think I have any special ones. But tell me, what are they?

Answer: You do!

Question: What?

Answer: Of course, I do not have such a site where you would go in, pay, and get a guarantee.

Question: Yes, but in principle, what must I do?

Answer: You need to want to find out about your influence on your future. You must build it, create it. It is what you make of it. They tell you the laws of nature, and from them, as from some construction set, you must assemble your future.

Question: What is the main law of nature?

Answer: The main law of nature is the correspondence of a person with the law of nature. I am not over complicating things. The law of nature is the law of universal bestowal and love, universal unification, universal mutual complementation until the ideal picture of the system of the world is revealed before us.

Question: Is it only toward this that I as a person must go?

Answer: Yes. And nothing more.

Question: That is, I should not struggle with anything?

Answer: Struggle only with the aim of fulfilling this law.

Question: With whom does this struggle take place?

Answer: The struggle is with oneself, of course. Only that. So do not blame the mirror. This is how we must work, and then what we make is what we will receive.

Question: That is, if everyone directs himself toward himself—everyone, but toward himself, not toward another—then will we turn this picture of the future upside down?

Answer: As much as we wish. As much as we want, so much we will do.

We wait for positive changes to happen on the outside. They won’t! We have to come to the conclusion that changes for the better can occur only if we change from within ourselves. That is when we will begin to depict our world the way we want to see it! That is what we have to do.

Question: Does our nature depict the world now? Does our egoism depict the world?

Answer: Yes

Comment: You are supposed to be enjoying yourself, but I am not. This is my state right now.

My Response: Egoism has finished its development. It shows you the entire world you exist in. That is all it can give you. Ultimately it will press down on you and crush you to the point that you cannot exist in this world. You will feel so bad, nauseous, fearful, uncomfortable, in other words, in any possible way.

This is solely so you understand that there are no more changes to be made on the outside. We have gone through all stages of our egoistic development; we have reached a state where the next step is simply to slaughter one another. This is it, there is nothing else.

Question: What should I say to my egoism now that I have understood that my egoism has depicted the entire picture for me?

Answer: You should say that egoism is right, that it has done its job; it brought you to the state where you are in complete disappointment and have to understand that you must not exist in such a paradigm. Must not!

What should you do? You have to correct yourself and then the world will be corrected too. This is a totally different methodology.

Comment: I should not correct the world, but correct myself…

My Response: You should correct the world by correcting yourself.

Comment: Yes, this is not easy!

My Response: It’s not easy, but this is a good moment in history when we indeed have to change the source of our development, the system, the methodology of our development. Our development will depend not on breaking nature that surrounds us, but on how we will be changing ourselves. As a result, the world will be changing.

Question: You keep saying: “Change yourself.” What exactly do you imply by “changing yourself?”

Answer: This is simple: change my evil attitude to everything that surrounds me from an exploitive and egoistic attitude to a kind and altruistic one.

Comment: A warm, kind attitude.

My Response: Yes. Then I will begin to see the world differently. I will start to see through it a different system of governance.

Question: And what will I receive pleasure from? After all, it is a person who receives pleasure.

Answer: I will be bonding with this world, will be attaining its eternity, infinity, perfection, something that I do not see now because I look with my limited egoistic eyes.

This is what lies ahead of us.

I will tell you that something else is coming: a time when the love of our world disappears, when there is no reciprocity, and no attraction. This is already happening! We can already see it developing in the new generation. And then we will realize that we have nothing left to live for, nothing to fill ourselves with!

Question: Will we ask for a different kind of love?

Answer: Yes, we will request fulfillment. Man does not live by bread alone. And then we will feel that we need the true source of all fulfillments.

This will be a moment of profound disillusionment, yet also a profound revelation regarding a new source. And then a cry of supplication will rise from all of humanity: “How will we be able to fill ourselves?! How will we be able to exist?! Where is this source?!”

Question: So now we can see how we are being cut off from all sources of pleasure? Is a passage, a tunnel, being constructed for us that leads to the true source?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Will the Creator be that source?

Answer: There is no other source.

Question: But will a person actually say: “This is the Creator”?

Answer: Yes, this is the Creator of my life, of all my aspirations; He is everything that I want. I want only Him.

In fact, He is the one we striving for all along, with egoism, but it does not matter; it is always only toward Him.

Let us wait.

Comment: Let us wait, hope, and believe.

My Response: Yes, it will happen soon.

The unification of people is always a spiritual force, even on the material level. If we are talking about such a group, be it a sports team, kibbutz members, or anyone else, they also use a spiritual force by uniting for some goal.

This gives rise to a problem. If they use this force for the sake of the Creator, then they win, move forward, prosper, and everything ends wonderfully. If, however, they take this force and use it for self-gratification, as they wanted to do in Soviet Russia or in the kibbutzim, then they get exactly what they eventually ended up with.

Why? Because, as Baal HaSulam explains in the article “The Arvut [Mutual Guarantee]“, they use the unification of souls, which is supposed to be a Kli for the Creator, for the light, as a Kli for achieving animalistic goals. If you unite several people and want something to come from it, then from their unification there must flow an intention for the sake of bestowal to the Creator and not for the sake of bestowal to oneself. Bestowal “for one’s own sake” brings about darkness, suffering, and misfortunes.

Let us say people unite to launch an enterprise, to get rich, to achieve something in this world. We see that all this is done precisely by means of unification. This also relates to the era of industrial development that began from the time of the Ari to the subsequent period of enlightenment. Such is the nature of development.

But all these steps in development were essentially not made out of a desire to draw closer to the Creator, but by creating groups of people in which one helps another. And all these groups, societies, or enterprises, whatever they may be, ultimately led to suffering. Through this, we come more quickly to the recognition of evil.

What does modern industry mean for us now that the whole world has become like a single village? Ultimately, through our pursuit of money, honor, and base pleasures, we reveal the flawed nature of our connection with one another.

We are tempted by trivialities like money and honors, supposedly a better life, but essentially, without our awareness, a higher force intends to show us that by uniting for reasons other than the sake of the Creator, humanity suffers a catastrophic loss. This realization dawns on us very quickly.

Rabash gives as an example a person who is given a desire for money and opens a restaurant to make a profit; however, in reality, this setup compels him to give to others. The money serves only as a lure. In essence, the Creator uses this to facilitate bestowal in the world prompting everyone to begin giving to others sooner. Consequently, Reshimot (spiritual records) multiply and combine in various ways, which causes an acceleration in our development toward correction.

In the same way, humanity is given a desire for money and various achievements, and groups of people unite among themselves in order to reveal the negative side in this. Everything that we see on the outside is the temptations given to us so that from our will to receive we perform various incorrect actions, and then come to the recognition of evil and, after correctly summing up the results, move onto the right tracks.

Question: I wanted to ask you, for example, about food. Eating a meal prepared by mom or grandma with love, in general, something prepared with love is good, right?

Answer: This you will have to embody, express, and bring this to the fore within yourself based on your own inner tensions, desires, and aspirations. Then you will be able to visualize it all within yourself.

They all exist, Mom, Grandma, and absolutely everything else you could possibly want. It all exists in the space around you. But take it and bring it closer to yourself. Grandma will no longer appear with a plate that she will set before you and say: “My dear grandson, eat.”

This will no longer happen. But you can achieve another kind of connection with these forms of fulfillment. We will be led to this.

Everyone will have a kind of fulfillment that will simply envelop them completely. And they will lack nothing. They will thank the Creator for everything, fab everything! This will happen.

Question: Toward what are we approaching with the creation of such…?

Answer: A person must gradually emerge from their material environment and enter a virtual environment, and then a spiritual one. This is bound to happen.

Question: And there he will feel all this warmth?

Answer: Yes. Everything. Absolutely everything! Warmth, taste, care, sympathy—everything that he lacks in this life right now, today. That is, what he felt when he was a tiny child with his mother.

Comment: And simple food will be perceived as…

My Response: It does not matter, even without food. Fulfillment does not depend on food. This is just a vessel; there is nothing in it.

Question: You are somehow perceiving the relationship, actually?

Answer: Of course. Yes.

Question: So this relationship toward me from grandma or mom, who gave me food, I will absorb this, feel this? Will this come from the world?

Answer: You will feel this from the higher force, which, it turns out, was this mother and grandmother, and everything else.

Do you understand? It seemed to you that this was mom or grandma. The Creator presented Himself to you in this form. And now you will perceive this in such a form that it is Him. And you will not think about relatives, close ones, people, and so on; you will perceive everything from Him.

Question: So the revelation of the Creator will give all these flavors and feelings?

Answer: There is no one except Him; everything is only from there.

Everyone is an egoist. People are raised that way and the conditioning continues. The greater your egoism, the greater the perceived opportunity to get ahead of others. We do not understand that true success ultimately means being in the right relationship with others.

We have reached a state where the world is exhausted and burned out from egoism. It can no longer continue moving forward on an egoistic path. All our grand dreams and ambitions are fading away.

Only one question remains: how can we continue to exist? This is possible only if we begin to value the connection between us. Within that connection, we will discover goals, spaces, and a completely different world.

Question: What is the most important advice you can give about how to preserve a friendship to the very end?

Answer: One must understand that whatever bad I see in others, is all within me. There is nothing bad around me, only within myself.

Therefore, one must try to correct oneself until one sees a beautiful world in everything around them. Then you will find yourself in the spiritual world, in paradise. Change yourself within, transform the hell inside you into paradise, and you will see that you are already in paradise.

But if you do not change the hell within yourself, then it seems to you that you are living in hell.

Question: And if you see hell in another person?

Answer: Then it is within you. Change yourself, and you will see that you live in a wonderful world.

Question: How can one learn to feel the point of contact with the Creator and use it for good while being in a group?

Answer: To use the point of contact with the Creator for evil means that I begin to enjoy it for myself. The moment I start taking pleasure in it, I am immediately allowed to feel: “How wonderful this is; it is worth engaging in spirituality. Now I am better than everyone else in the world. I feel good and comfortable with everyone, the sensations are amazing!” And then, I become empty.

What should I do instead when I discover this point? I need to build all kinds of systems around me in advance that will help me rise in the future. But right now, I should channel all my excitement and inspiration into progress.

Question: When I’m inspired, I pass that energy on to the group, but when I have nothing to give, can that harm it?

Answer: When you have something to give, you give it to the group. Also, when you are full of inspiration, it is a good time to study more. Then you will better understand what you are learning, connect more deeply with the books, notice things you did not see before, and develop a kind of connection with spirituality.

But when you fall again, failing to hold onto the connection at the point of contact with the Creator, right at the peak of your choice, and unable to use it for the sake of giving, you will see that the group is indeed capable of supporting you in a state of emptiness caused by misusing the excitement and inspiration that came to you. It can happen both ways. However, from every state we must draw a lesson.
