If I am engaged with a person and society, if I am talking about how society should change, and how a person should change, then of course I can always be attributed to politics.

In the end, I’m not acting with political tools, but only educational ones.

People go out into the street to demand some political or social changes from the government, and we went out into the street to give them pamphlets saying that the only thing that will help them is if each of them changes themselves.

I tell a person: “You have to change your attitude toward others and not demand something from the government. It is not able to do anything, and you can’t put pressure on it. In the end, nothing good will come from it. Look at what is happening all over the world! The only thing that will help is that here I’m giving you objective natural laws, which say you have to change yourself.”

If I address everyone personally and talk about how to change oneself, is this a political statement?

We exist in a world of objective laws. These laws show us where today’s confusion comes from, and how we can find ourselves in the current world, to do something with ourselves, with society, and with our family, in order to continue to give birth, develop, and live.

I’m talking about facts! Let’s say I’m just explaining the law of free fall and how we can apply it in our lives, or the law of the dependence of speed on time and distance and how it can be used. I explain everything on my fingers and show everything in action.

I attract scientists who tell me that our world is truly global, mutual, and completely interdependent. At present, there are laws in it that did not exist before, and our failure to accept these laws is called a crisis. But this is our crisis, our lack of understanding and our inability to adapt to this world.

So we need to adapt to it and then there will be no crisis, but instead a wonderful, broad development.

As long as you cannot interact with this new, global and integral world, you are in crisis. This is not an external crisis; this is your internal, conceptual crisis.

Comment: Sometimes I look at you and get the impression that you are already tired of making constant appeals to humanity to follow the good path.

My Response: I do not see an end to it. I see that only good blows will turn us into the right people.

Sometimes they are internal, sometimes external, no matter what kind, the main thing is that they have an effect. If internal blows do not help, then external ones come into play. And so gradually a person grows.

Question: No one can escape from this?

Answer: This is a natural process. But there are desirable and undesirable forms in it. There are two parallel paths: the path of light, when you call it upon yourself demanding for it to change you, and the path of suffering when you are driven forward with a “stick to happiness” like a naughty child until you become smarter and start asking to be changed yourself.

But how much time passes before these blows change a person?

Question: How, by changing oneself, can a person studying Kabbalah change his attitude toward others or toward the events that happen to him?

Answer: Only by learning integrality and complete interconnection above all contradictions. Leave all the contradictions below and try to connect above them. Drop everything else! Otherwise, we become more and more opposed to nature, and nature will rain blows on us. That is all. This is the easiest solution. Nothing else.

Therefore, it is our common global integral connection, that we need to discuss and implement. Above everything! We should solve our problems at a round table, like in a family, figuring out how to unite in the most kind way, mutually participating in everything.

At the same time, each of us has a huge number of claims against everyone, and we leave them all below, as in a family, and solve our common problem above them, otherwise, we will not survive.

The laws of nature are immutable. There is nothing in them to make nature take pity on us. This is a rigid law. If you are similar to it—good, if not—you receive negative effects. That is, you set yourself up with respect to this system, which is clearly determined and goes forward in this way.

Comment: There are two options for solving problems. Either a person decides something on the material level through some kind of connection or something else. Or, by changing himself internally, he changes the unfavorable situations that haunt him.

My Response: We will have to come to an inner change. Today we already see how much we cannot influence the world, how much nothing helps us, and we are floating somewhere like slivers in a whirlpool.

All mankind, people, nations, and countries are carried away somewhere by a single stream that twists and turns us, and we are not able to do anything.

This is the feeling that is evident now. And this will lead us to the fact that we will really begin to relate to the world correctly.

Humanity is at the point where nature is shaking us. And it will rattle us with wars, hurricanes, earthquakes, terror, anything possible, more and more. Humanity will eat itself up until the remaining small fraction of people rise to the next degree. But if everyone would want to rise voluntarily, here is a methodology for you. There is no other way.

But this is the law of nature at all degrees! It acts even on the corporeal level. This is how nature works! How does inanimate matter turn into vegetative, vegetative into animate, and animate matter (that is, today’s people) move to the next degree? We just do not want to turn on our brains and see how much logic there is in this.

There is nothing else! We cannot do it any other way! What is the most important law of evolution? When each stage fulfills itself, considers itself unnecessary, and accepts its next state as desirable although it is the opposite of it. Everything happens according to the law of “negation of negation.”

Comment: Alexander writes: “You say that over time all evil will disappear. Then why has it not disappeared to this day? Many generations have changed over thousands of years; we should have been reborn into better people, but the evil has only increased. Somehow your formula does not work.”

My Response: My formula can work only when we try all the possible outcomes, that is, when we make sure that nothing works! Nothing.

Then we will understand that we have no solution except to just treat each other as relatives. Not as our relatives today, since it is also egoistic when we think of them, but our relatives as ourselves, “love your neighbor as yourself.”

Question: Does this mean that over time all evil will disappear?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Should we just poke in all directions that we can?

Answer: Absolutely!

Question: Why can we not be given even some tiny hole to get through?

Answer: We would run into some kind of Leninism again.

Question: Will nothing happen until we go through all the roads and all the paths and run into a dead end everywhere?

Answer: In general, yes. Such is our egoism. It must make sure that there is no other way but love for the other.

Question: Is this kind of work on wear and tear here?

Answer: This is what love means—”love your neighbor as yourself.” When I have tried everything, and only this gate is open.

Question: How will I come to this formula? You are now saying, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” but let’s say I cannot hear you. How do I come to the conclusion that this is the gate that I need to enter?

Answer: You will see this gate before your nose and realize that there can be no other gate! There is nothing besides this gate, just emptiness.

Question: Is this what is written by the great Kabbalists, that you go and there is no gate? You walk along the wall, and there is no gate. And suddenly at some point, when you are exhausted, you suddenly see the gate. And it turns out that it always was there.

Answer: Yes.

Question: And I did not see it?

Answer: No.

Question: What did I need in order to see it? It was always there, it just was!

Answer: There was not enough disappointment.

Question: Should I be disappointed in everything?

Answer: Absolutely. In everything! So that only one thing remains—adhesion, brotherhood. We do not know what it is. We all use some kinds of substitutes and surrogates. But then we will feel it.

Question: Can you at least give a hint? It is clear that if we do not feel, we will not be able to hear you. But what do you mean by brotherhood?

Answer: Brotherhood is when we are all in the same desire, intention, and in complete adhesion and connection, unity everyone with everyone. We return again to the system called Adam as one person in one body, in one heart. This is the correct future.

It should be before us! This is how this future should stand before me as an obvious, achievable, and necessary state.

Comment: You have just depicted what we must come to after all the wanderings and disappointments.

My Response: That is why they are needed, to come to such a state.

Question: Isn’t that idealism?

Answer: This is not idealism, it is precisely the system of self-education.

Question: But am I inside this system?

Answer: I am inside this system, but I need to find my identification with it, meaning that I should be in it, participate in every aspect of it, and I want it to become reality.

Question: Are we, in principle, still inside this system, broken, scattered, searching, and suffering?

Answer: But we have to agree with it. We need to want it to be manifested, and not remain in this fog, in the form of a negative, as it is today.

Question: So, are we required to manifest this?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: According to Kabbalah, a person must change his nature. But it is not his fault that he developed in a completely different, egoistic way.

My Response: Who is asking him at all? There are necessary and sufficient conditions, like in mathematics. That is all.

After all, I am not asking: “Why was I born like this?” I can scream as much as I want, but it will not help. There is an upper plan, it is higher than me, I do not understand it.

Is nature changing its system of relationships between us now? Yes. It does not ask us. If you want, adapt to it, if you do not want to, you will become extinct like the dinosaurs. Why did they become extinct at their time? They did not adapt to the new conditions. The same thing happens to us.

Question: But the change itself does not depend on the person. He cannot bring himself to do it, can he?

Answer: What do you mean he cannot? He is given conditions that he can fulfill. This is evolution! The same evolution is happening to us, and we have to adapt to it.

What does evolution mean? When some conditions change and your organism has the ability to adapt to them, then you gradually change yourself in this way.

How have we changed over the course of history? Can you compare yourself to a primitive man? You have no idea how much you have changed! Of course, you basically have the same organs, but they work differently! The brain, the heart, and all the skills are completely different. I think even our eyes see in a slightly different range, and our ears hear in a different range.

Previously, a person probably captured both ultra and infra waves. He felt vibrations with his body that you do not feel. Like animals that run away from a tsunami or earthquake beforehand by feeling low-frequency waves coming from underground, so we once felt it.

I talked to Bedouins living in the Sinai. They determine by a cloud or by a flying bird that there is a bus 50 kilometers away coming in their direction. And indeed, soon it arrives.

We are transforming and changing all the time. This is evolution!

At the moment it is quite sharp: both psychological within a person and social around a person, as well as climatic and natural. All three parameters: me, society, and nature are changing, and we can adapt to them.

In principle, they change in order for us to adapt to them and move to the next level of our development. Nature will force us anyway! It will force us no matter how, even by a stick to happiness!

Therefore, it is better for us to obey, accept these conditions, and begin to adapt to them like a child who first acts, and then becomes smarter from this. But he acts instinctively: disassembles, assembles, and understands. Try to do the same and then you will start to understand and become higher!

Question: From a letter. “Here are some lines from a bushmen folk song:

“The Way We Die”
song of the Southern Bushmen

The day we die
the wind comes down
to take away
our footprints.

The wind makes dust
to cover up
the marks we left
while walking.

for otherwise
the thing would seem
as if we were
still living.

Therefore the wind
is he who comes
to blow away
our footprints.

“Why does European civilization want so much to leave behind some kind of corporeal trace: things, cities, works of art, and books? Why is it important for us to be remembered? Why are we so afraid to disappear without a trace? But people who live in harmony with nature are not afraid. On the contrary, they say: ‘Our footprints should disappear.’

“Why does it happen like this? We really want to leave our monuments.”

Answer: Egoism! It is our egoism! It forces us to take care of ourselves, the immortal ones.

Question: Don’t we die after death?

Answer: Yes. If I could put up such a monument, a column, that would stand forever, I would not be afraid to die. That is, I continue to live through it. Everyone will see and know it, and they will not be able to destroy it even if they want to. The monument will be such that it will be eternal. And on it, on the pedestal, I will stand proudly!

Question: Don’t we even think that I will not be there, but a monument will be there? I will be there, right?

Answer: Yes, it means that I will be there. For a person, this is everything!

What else, my body? It is clear to me what will happen to it. However, to be depicted in stone like this, eternal, respected, and wise, this is anything but simple.

Question: Does it mean that egoism is indestructible? Both before death and after death. Is it something unimaginable?

Answer: Egoism is higher than death, it is a force of nature. It is against the Creator. There is the force of the Creator and egoism is against Him.

Question: So what chance do we have to become such “Bushmen”?

Answer: We alter our egoism, we change it.

Question: From what to what? From this eternal one?

Answer: Yes, we give it eternity. Do you want eternity? Be my guest. Do you want perfection? Not a problem. Fame? Anything you want. But to do that, you have to change.

Question: What should I turn into?

Answer: From the rejection of the other to the love of others. It is this process that a person must go through. Moreover, he, by himself, needs to understand it, go through it, and finish it.

Comment: But there are sparks of this understanding at the moment a person passes away. He understands that “I will not take this with me.” There are many different stories.

My Response: It is all literature. After all, a person remains with the idea that my actions will remain after me. Instead, he has to come to the idea that nothing is important to me, just to leave everything to others.

Comment: So, am I leaving so that everything remains to others? I do not need anything anymore. No monuments, nothing.

My Response: Nothing.

Comment: There was such a movie, it was called All Remains to People.

My Response: I wanted to say that too.

Comment: It was a socialist, communist movie. I even remember that Cherkasov was playing there.

My Response: Yes, Cherkasov. Such a noble man. In fact, ideally, the person should pass away like that.

Comment: As we know, this did not disappear together with communist ideas.

My Response: It is clear that it will not disappear because egoists were at the head of these ideas.

Question: And if we put a Kabbalistic meaning into it, what would it look like?

Answer: It would look like Kabbalah.

Question: What am I doing with this egoist in me?

Answer: I am converting him into an altruist.

Question: Why did it not work out there, but it will work out here?

Answer: First, we have already become disillusioned with all the previous “isms” and other theories. That is first. Secondly, we understand that otherwise we will not be able to exist.

We must understand that only in the correct connection between us, which will become the basic law of society, is our future.

Question: Where in this is the upper force that you talk about all the time?

Answer: It is in the fact that we create it ourselves by trying to connect. If it is not there, this upper force, then we have not made it.

Question: So we failed, and we have to try again and again?

Answer: Absolutely!

Question: Until when?

Answer: Until you make it!

Question: How will I understand that I made it?

Answer: When you see that this connection works between you and others.

Question: How does it work then?

Answer: You will look at the others and see that everyone wishes happiness to each other. I think we still need a long time to come to this.

Question: But are we going toward this?

Answer: This does not depend on us.

Question: So, will this happen one way or another?

Answer: This will happen, this does not depend on us, but we will have to see this.

Previously in nature and society, we acted according to an egoistic, impulsive, and linear program, when everyone earned as much as they worked. That is how I chose my job, family, and everything else, and due to my natural abilities and efforts, I achieved something.

I know that there are objective conditions that exist around me, and everything else depends on me; certain conditions are placed before me, and the rest is up to me to move forward. That is how I went through life and saw that I accomplished this and that.

I had some savings, a house, family, children, friends, and some plans. I wanted vacations, retirement, medical insurance, and so on, just like any ordinary, normal, person desires. But today there is some incomprehensible situation, like in a Winnie the Pooh story : “Some kind of wrong bees.” Everything seems wrong, and I do not know how to act.

I can go to work, try to invest anywhere. And what? I am not getting an adequate response to my reasonable, obvious, serious, and straightforward efforts! I am not trying to deceive anyone; I work with my egoism, and I want to receive as much as I earn. It does not work! Perhaps there should be some kind of luck involved, but it does not smile at me. What’s the matter?!

It turns out that a completely different scheme is working now; I can succeed in my life only if I also think about the well-being of other people. How can that be?! What do other people have to do with it?! I am investing! Why are they in the picture?! Maybe they are lazy or are even my enemies.

They tell me: “It doesn’t matter whether you like it or not because today these are the conditions and this is the way society is! You have to take into account the welfare of everyone and not just brush it off: “Okay, let them be happy.” You must learn to strive to be integral with them in one system so that everyone would feel good, and so that when investing, you think about what you are investing in them, and that you truly feel you are working together with them.

Moreover, you have to share with everyone and they with you. You don’t just go out into the world, earn money, bring home your prey, and share a piece of mammoth in your cave with the family; No!

You have to think about whether everyone has brought their prey. And when you come home and sit with your family, you have to imagine that you are sitting with the whole world. Does the whole world have what you have? How would you share it with them?”

Do you understand what dreadful conditions nature sets for us?! This is the state of the world today, and that is why no one knows what to do.

Comment: In principle, you always talk about one formula that can correct humanity.

My Response: What if there is nothing else besides it?! What if there is nothing more than ten Sefirot? I am only talking about how to connect them correctly, discover the entire universe inside you, and finally understand that everything you see happening outside is an illusion.

I am talking about a single world inside of you, so you can see it by reversing your focus. When you change focus, you suddenly begin to understand that you saw just an internal reflection in front of you, nothing else. Suddenly your eyes open and you see a completely different world.

This is what we must come to! To a world in which there is no life and death, no physical movement. These are all our inner sensations that create such an illusory volume in us.

I want to gradually bring you to this understanding so as not to confuse you. After all, you can say: “So he is a mystic, not of this world; he is spinning in some of his dimensions.”

Therefore, I do not talk about many things. I am explaining at the same pace nature does, and today it obliges us to move forward. I am helping you understand the evolution that you are obliged to make today, either in a good way or in a bad way if you do not obey.

Question: If I am not close in my feelings to the topic you are talking about, what then?

Answer: Then “Daddy” will give you a good smack with his belt. You will feel a little pain, and you will start to listen to what Mr. Laitman told you. You will suddenly remember what Kabbalah says: “Maybe I can somehow soften these blows, or at least receive fewer of them.”
