Who Should Be Taken Care Of First?

631.3Question: A pack of wolves can take care of a disabled, crippled, or old animal. They feed him chewed food like puppies and can even catch fleas from him. But there is an addition here anyway: “In a hungry year, the pack cannot take on the responsibility of feeding elderly animals. And the elderly accept it.” Is this also a matter of survival?

Answer: It is a matter of survival and necessity for the pack. And that is why there are individuals who sacrifice themselves for the sake of the life of the whole pack.

Comment: Let’s build it up: they take care of the disabled, the elderly…

My Response: Of everyone.

Question: And we should take care of the elderly?

Answer: Yes. But if there are such conditions that it is impossible to take care of the weak…

Question: This is a very difficult question indeed! How is it selected?

Answer: The one who provides great benefits for the future generation is chosen.

Question: So, young and strong?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So the principle is still the survival of the pack, the survival of society?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: And now, if possible, please draw conclusions.

My Response: Conclusions: we certainly have a lot to learn from wolves. We need to do something to improve ourselves. We definitely need to think about the organization of our society: how to restructure it and make it healthier, and what educational programs we should adopt? For our children, for our grandchildren, for the future generation.

We have several generations in front of us, and we must change the social order for them.

Don’t Disconnect from Reality

204Comment: In the 1960s, the CIA experimented with LSD and other drugs, and at some point they really did change the world. That is how the hippie revolution began.

In the end, this led people to drop out of society because they saw a little more. As people who took drugs describe their sensations, they could “see with hearing” and “hear with sight.”

My Response: There is nothing like that! It is only a disruption of the brain’s functioning, nothing more.
What happened to the hippies in practice? They lived in a drug-induced fog for several years, and then ended up thrown onto the “scrap heap.” By age 40, they were left without a profession, broken, incapable of anything.

The generation of the 60s had to painfully endure this until they passed on. Humanity understood that drugs disconnect people from reality, and rejected LSD and all the other substances.

Why do we reject them? Let us spray drugs over seven billion people, let them have fun! Why should they suffer?

But we cannot! Nature, the higher governance, does not allow this because we disconnect from reality. We are obligated to reach a certain special, predetermined result of our existence on this Earth. We must reach unity, a single organism. And if this does not happen, then our whole life has no meaning.

That is why people will never agree to drugs. This is programmed in nature. The program that operates within us is aimed at making us check and confirm once again that any disconnection from reality is unacceptable. That is how we are built. We cannot do anything about it!

With time we will not take drugs or alcohol at all. Perhaps more years will pass, but we will still have to tear this out of ourselves. I am sure such a time will come. Society will force itself to change, otherwise it will see that it is doomed to extinction.

Find Yourself

963.5The main problem in educating people lies in the fact that we do not teach them to find what is most important for themselves—a goal. Moreover, in this regard one must be truly independent, and place oneself in a state where neither the media, nor society, nor anything else influences you, where none of that matters to you, and you can withstand everyone.

This is scarier than a battle because you must endure a powerful attack of information, various ideas of a frenzied crowd, the so-called values of humanity. Where would you get the inner strength for this, the ability to compare things, to rise above it all, to disregard everything else where necessary? This is not simple at all. One must be taught this.

If we do not teach this to the growing generation, they will be tossed around like tumbleweeds, and will remain unhappy all their lives. We can see how people cannot find themselves. We think that out of seven billion people, 99% are simply not suited for anything. No, they were never taught. Each person has their own individuality.

When you give a person the opportunity to find themselves and their goal, their point among this vast number of people, they suddenly begin to understand themselves, and see that everything around is precisely adjusted to them.

Therefore, the most important thing is the education of a person: to be where one needs to be, to independently choose one’s own path in life, and to connect correctly with everyone else in order to realize this path.

Should a Leader Be Respected or Feared?

271Comment: The stronger and more experienced a leader, the more actively he suppresses all quarrels, the less strife and aggression in the pack, the friendlier the atmosphere and the more cohesive the group. Suppressing quarrels can be done with quite harsh methods.

My Response: Such is the law of any community, even an animal one. Not to mention human.

Question: So should one be both hard and soft at the same time?

Answer: I do not know about being soft. But he must be very decisive, confident, and willful.

Question: So all the quarrels, all the poor attitudes, slander, suppress it all?

Answer: Of course.

Comment: Tough… He will not be loved.

My Response: They will fear him; this is most important. Therefore, they will respect and obey.

Question: Is this leadership? He has a goal ahead of him—to bring his pack…

Answer: When with wolves, do as wolves do.

Question: The chief leads the pack, leads his own out of traps, plans and begins the hunt; he is the first to rush at enemies and prey.

What does it mean to be the first at everything?

Answer: To take on all the blows, all the issues that arise in his pack.

Question: Are we talking about human society?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So he is the first to take all the blows? Is he worried about all this?

Answer: It is like his own family.

Question: You perceive the leader as a father? And society as my family?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And if, as we have now, there was a blow-up, does he take responsibility?

Answer: If he does not take responsibility, he is immediately removed. There is no such thing among animals. He has to assume responsibility.

Spread Your Wings

928Question: The flapping of each goose’s wings creates an updraft that supports the birds flying behind.

If people move toward a goal, let’s say that they understand that they must move together. What are “wingbeats” for people?

Answer: For people, this can exist if they define a single higher goal and understand how to achieve it.

Question: It says here that this updraft from the movement of wings supports the birds flying behind. How do they support them? With what?

Answer: The same applies in battle: those who go in front set an example for those who follow. That is, the wingbeat is the example you show.

Question: When a bird breaks formation, it begins to experience sharp air resistance, which forces it to quickly return to formation and continue flying with less effort.

Suppose people set high goals and can’t endure it, they drop out, leave. How can it be made so that in their mind and heart there is the thought that a lone individual won’t break through, that to do so one must be in this group?

Answer: They must all be preoccupied with one goal. Then some will go in front, stay together, and others will hold on behind them, and in this way they will all reach the goal together.

Question: And those who hold on behind understand that they are weaker, so they hold on to their friends; will they have the thought that “I won’t break through alone”?

Answer: Of course.

Question: That is if the importance of the goal is constantly maintained?

Answer: Yes.

Question: When the leader gets tired, it flies to the back of the flock, and another bird replaces it. In life, leaders—politicians, those who lead people, states—don’t feel responsibility. They leave only at elections. There isn’t such a thing as “I’m tired, I give my place to another.” What must a leader have for this thought to arise?

Answer: The importance of the goal of the entire flock.

Comment: I see, the importance of the goal is the peak, the foundation.

My Response: Yes. He must understand that he is responsible for ensuring that the flock continues the path and reaches the goal.

Comment: Even if he won’t be there, even if he…

My Response: That doesn’t matter.

Comment: Meaning his thoughts are not about himself at all, but about the flock.

My Response: Yes.

Comment: That is the most important thing! We seem to have had such an example. Begin left that way, on his own. He suddenly stood up in the middle of a meeting and said, “I’m tired.”

My Response: Yes. That was a great decision.

Comment: And then he sat quietly for ten years, gave almost no interviews. And that’s how he departed.

A Few Steps Before the Abyss

278.01Question: What benefits does the science of Kabbalah bring to us in everyday life? Does it make life more fulfilling and happy?

Answer: Fifty years ago, people thought that the world was developing toward a better life, and that all countries would achieve the same prosperity as the United States and Europe. And in fact, with modern development, a person is able to arrange a heavenly life for himself on this earth.

But there is something in us that breaks all our plans and prevents us from achieving this dream. We see that today there are all the conditions for creating a wonderful life for everyone, but instead we are senselessly wasting money, energy and our lives on anything except harmonious development, achieving perfection, health, and raising the next generation.

Humanity seems to have lost its mind and does not understand at all what it is doing. And those people who make all this mess in the world are also trying to show everyone how smart, strong, and understanding they are. But for some reason, the world under their control has such an unsightly appearance.

Apparently, we are at the mercy of forces of nature that we do not understand. How can we explain that countries are in conflict with each other and are spending huge amounts of money on weapons, on completely unnecessary things, and in the meantime people are dying of hunger and suffering from diseases?

Ordinary people get pitiful crumbs allocated to healthcare, security, and social services compared to all the capital, resources, and power that humanity possesses. That is, we see that the world is governed by forces beyond our control. We do not control our lives, but these selfish forces control us.

How can we overcome the evil human nature, egoism, which pushes us to senseless, unreasonable actions that defy any sound logic? Why do we not agree among ourselves that we do not need wars or endless competition? After all, we could arrange a wonderful life for ourselves on this globe; it is in our power! Why is it not working?

After the end of World War II, people hoped that a good, peaceful life had finally arrived. But half a century has passed, and we are once again on the verge of a much more terrible and dangerous war, a war that is capable of blowing up our entire planet.

Therefore we need to understand the power that controls us and makes us such stupid, narrow-minded people who have no control over their fate. Selfishness pushes us together, forcing us to fight like little children who do not want to give in to each other. Everyone wants to prove to others that they are bigger, stronger, like a naive, stubborn baby. Where is our serious attitude to life, reasonableness, logic, and balance?

There are many women in leadership positions these days. It would seem that women are more reasonable in this, and will be able to better manage the world by putting it in order. But we see that in our generation, women, once in government, begin to act as irresponsibly as the men around them. Apparently they fall under the influence of the environment, so there is no softening in international relations that they could bring.

We are completely at the mercy of an evil force, our selfishness, and are unable to fight it. We have no way to stand up to him, because selfishness is above us; it is a higher power.

This selfishness is ready to lead us to the abyss until we destroy ourselves, blow up the globe, and split it into pieces. A man is ready to die for his selfishness. Selfishness is stronger than the fear of death, it is above our lives.

If so, then our situation seems completely hopeless, and we are doomed. But here the science of Kabbalah is revealed and explains that this evil force deliberately controls us so that we understand that we need another force that is able to resist it.

This second force is also the highest, but it is the opposite of the force of selfishness, and will be able to balance it. All over the world now—inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human—there is only one evil force at work.

And if we want to escape from it, so that everyone does not perish and destroy the Earth, then we need to find the second force available in nature, the force of goodness. The science of Kabbalah helps to reveal this good power.

People Are Created to Govern the World

294.4Question: According to your words, it turns out that people are created in order to govern this world? These lowly beings, as you say?

Answer: Yes. They are created to be the crown of creation, to govern the world, to implore the Creator to influence our world with the quality of good, which, from the side of the human being, from the side of people, of humanity, they will support with all their strength. They must allow the qualities of love and bestowal, goodness and compassion, to be revealed in the world.

Question: Do they therefore have to pass through this lowliness?

Answer: Yes, to recognize their nature, suppress it within themselves, and come to need the opposite nature—the nature of the Creator.

Question: And this is the path?

Answer: Yes.

Question: How does a person come to realize that this is the path?

Answer: Through suffering. There is nothing to be done. Through the realization of the insignificance of one’s own forces, qualities, and abilities.

The Creator awaits our turning to Him for help, our asking Him for the quality of goodness, bestowal, and love, and by this we rise to His level.

The Confrontation Between Rome and Jerusalem

419Question: Why was Europe previously a kind of benchmark for other countries?

Answer: Because the Roman Empire passed on to it its ideas, its laws, its attitude to reality, nature, and society to all of Europe after conquering it. In essence, it founded all of Europe, including England.

Comment: But Romans also got their ideas from somewhere.

My Response: The Roman’s nature was based on the opposite to Jerusalem. They followed an egoistic path of development, a complete rejection of religion, a harsh, as if it were, realistic attitude toward the world and the building of society according to certain canons that lie at the foundation of Roman law.

Roman law has not been abolished. No matter what we hang on it externally, internally we are still based on ancient Roman law. And it is absolutely opposite to Jewish law.

This stems from the ancient confrontation of worlds: Rome and Jerusalem. Rome rose and truly flourished in its conquests precisely upon the destruction of Jerusalem. This is an egoistic, natural, and correct from the point of view of our world, development of humanity up to its recognition of itself as absolutely flawed.

In our time, it has reached its full egoistic bloom, and we see that by doing this we are bringing ourselves to a dead end; there is no way to move any further. Egoism has outlived itself. It began to develop in Ancient Rome, and now this period is coming to an end.

The next stage will be the realization that development must be altruistic. People will have no other choice. Regardless of whether they want it or not, despite their hatred of Judaism, they will accept Kabbalah, the very idea of connection, the merging of everyone into one single system. Life and nature will force everyone. But today we are at this point of history.

Therefore, on the one hand, Kabbalah is revealed as a method of uniting humanity. Without it, you will not be able to unite people because egoism will not allow us to do so. Only Kabbalah can give us the strength to rise above the ego.

On the other hand, we see a declining Europe, whose Roman legacy is already coming to an end.

Question: So the experiment of creation began with the Roman Empire, when egoism began to develop in opposition to the spiritual?

Answer: Yes, of course. From here came the three main religions and everything else.

And now a very clear reassessment and revaluation of values is beginning. There is no way around it, we will be obliged to take the universal unification and revelation of the Creator as our foundation rather than all religions and beliefs, and instead of everything that we are told and that we imagine for ourselves.

How to Begin Moving Toward the Light?

226We will yet become convinced that all the negativity that has existed throughout all times among all peoples was only suffering caused by our distancing ourselves from each other and not understanding how, on the contrary, we should be drawing closer together. And now all this suffering will manifest in us and push us toward connection. And then we will be grateful for them and will understand that there is only happiness in the world and one movement toward the light.

Question: And this is happening?

Answer: It is already happening now.

Question: Everything that is happening, is it all a movement toward happiness and light?

Answer: Yes, everything that is happening.

Unraveling the Riddle of Nature

765.1The mechanism of entering the upper world is the mechanism where a person builds a screen for oneself, explores oneself, studies one’s egoistic nature, and gradually changes it into an altruistic one. At the same time, they do not disconnect from others; on the contrary, they draw them to themselves, and include them within themselves, just as a mother includes the desires and the entire essence of her child within herself.

In the same way, each of us must include all of humanity within ourselves because this is how we expand ourselves.

I only have a point, an embryo of contact with everyone else, and I can expand like a womb expands when a fetus develops inside it. In its normal state, the womb is, say, the size of a small pear, and as it expands it becomes like a huge soccer ball.

That is how my embryonic soul represents a point, called “the point in the heart.” As I accept others into myself, they enter this point, and it begins to expand, to swell, and turn into a womb, into my AHP, which includes everyone, up to all of humanity, or at least the small group of like‑minded people with whom we work in this way, each relative to the others like a womb.

Thus I begin to perceive all of humanity within myself (not somewhere outside, abstractly, but precisely inside myself) and to relate to it as to the most precious thing within me, like the organism of a mother that is set up to devote itself solely to the development of the fetus.

This is the basis of correcting egoism—including all others within yourself as your most precious integral part, and working on it. In doing so, you completely replace the introverted perception of the world with an extroverted one. In truth, it is not really extroverted, but it is called so because it is connected with others. But these “others” are no longer others. They are already the closest, most precious part of you.

When we reach such a state, we see that all of creation, all of nature, is absolutely one single whole, and there is no life and death, no transition from one state to another, everything is eternal and perfect. A person rises above all limitations of time, space, movement, life, and death; everything disappears. He clearly enters an entirely different dimension.

At the same time, until the very last moment, this world does not disappear; you continue to exist in it physically. And only when absolutely all souls, that is, all people, change their attitude, their nature, to a single love, a single inclusion in each other, then all the worlds and our world as well, that is, the entire illusion of existence in our egoistic dimension, will gradually disappear because it is given to us only so that we would perform this work upon ourselves.

We were deliberately, artificially pulled out of a unified state, separated, given an awareness of “self,” so that now, through our own efforts, we could gather again. Today humanity is entering a stage in which our nature, our earthly existence, this little world and our sensation in it will push us out, like labor pains, into the higher dimension, and force us to enter it through our problems.

We have no idea at all what is happening in the world. The ecological upheavals will be such! And you cannot do anything against them. It is they that will bring humanity to the necessity of uniting against a common enemy, nature.

This nature will reveal itself when we all must unite. There are no Arabs and Jews here, no Russians and Americans, no Africans and Europeans! Here all of us are tiny little humans against a huge nature.

And then we will see that this nature has its own form, its own plan, its own intention, its own brain, its own mind. And therefore it addresses us in this way on purpose and teaches us to become wiser. In this way it will force us to become connected with one another and to unravel the riddle of why it acts this way. We will discover in it a cause‑and‑effect influence upon us, a sense of rationality. Let’s not place ourselves above it. Who are we? Little bugs. We will see that we exist within a vast mind that compels us to grow gradually.

Therefore all environmental shifts inspire great hope for imminent positive changes in human society.
The Creator will force us to come closer through the pressure of the surrounding nature, and will compel us in some way to seek interaction and mutual assistance.
