In our movement toward the goal of creation, we can choose the best or the worst version of this movement. Either we will drag ourselves in shackles, driven by a whip, or we will go in a compartment carriage, on a good road, looking out the window at a beautiful panorama. That is a big difference.

But to do this, we need to participate in the movement ourselves, i.e., get into the carriage instead of trudging along the road in shackles. This means that I agree with the purpose of creation and that I want to achieve it.

I have to wish for it myself, and this is against my egoism. But I strive for it more than anything else in the world even if I had the opportunity to avoid it, so I have to come to a state of correct assessment of the goal, its understanding.

This work consists of making a person realize what the single force of nature is doing to him, how kind it is, how much by trying to change him from an egoist to an altruist, to an absolute unmercenary person, it wants to raise him to a perfect level. He begins to evaluate this perfection as the greatest gift.

Question: But whether he is walking in shackles or riding in a carriage car, does he still feel some pressure on his current condition?

Answer: No. He himself is remaking that terrible, dirty road along which he had to trudge driven by a whip. He lays the track to the train himself, he creates this train and all the amenities.

Question: Why is it impossible to walk in shackles if a person knows the principles of the universe?

Answer: No. “In shackles” means that he does not know the principles or does not agree with them and he does not want to change himself.

After all, the task is not to walk. “To reach” means to completely change yourself. There is no need to go anywhere. You will suddenly find that you have to be in the same place, that the road is in fact not a road but your internal changes that you have to go through.

Therefore, we must quickly create a methodology for correcting the whole of humanity, describe it as simply as possible, and distribute it by all means. The main thing is for a person to understand what is happening to him and the world right now, what kind of world he finds himself in.

If we want to see the world as kind and not as it begins to seem to us as very threatening and unpredictable, then we urgently need to understand what nature forces us to do.

Comment: People are constantly stating that they oppose wars, but somehow wars continue to exist.

My Response: How can people fight against wars if they don’t also think that everything caused by egoism, in any case, leads to war?

The question arises: is it possible to do this in any other way? It is only if you adopt the method of Kabbalah. Otherwise there will still be wars.

They happen incessantly. The moment one war ends, they immediately begin to prepare for the next because otherwise egoism cannot exist.

Therefore egoistic individuals cannot live in peace; they have to devour each other.

Question: Nowadays people’s consciousness is beginning to gradually change. How realistic is it that people will soon believe in what Kabbalah says and start to change their actions?

Answer: It depends on the need. We see that today people continue to develop all sorts of technical toys, wage wars, and pull each other off our ball, so to speak. They are still satisfied with that type of life.

They are engaged in something temporary, insignificant, and worthless that harms them and thus further distances them from their true Kabbalistic sources. And it will be harder and harder to come back to them.

One who makes the most of his selfishness toward others can seem to succeed in our world. But in fact it threatens him with a very difficult way back to his true source and very bitter sensations along the path of spiritual correction.

That is the way our world works and there is nothing you can do about it. We are trying to accomplish something by disseminating Kabbalah, but in principle, this is all in the program of the world.

Question: What is the spiritual meaning of war? Why does war exist?

Answer: It exists because there are two opposing forces in the universe. When these forces cannot be balanced by the screen, they come into a state of a short spiritual circuit and try to destroy each other. This is called war.

In the spiritual world, there is a short electrical circuit, a collision of opposite forces and properties, like in the material world. This gives rise to wars in our world.

Therefore, we need to form a screen between these forces, i.e., some kind of correct connection between people.

Today all sorts of previous passions of humanity seem naive to us. But I don’t see any disregard to history in this since this is a natural development. We will also seem like this to our descendants.

If we talked to ancient Greek scientists now, they would give us some arithmetic laws that children study in the first grades today. And these great scientists would tell us about their discoveries with excitement, with a tremor in their voice.

What can I say here? This is how we develop. Everything is relative. Only the attainment of the upper force is absolute because it is unchangeable, and reaching similarity to it begins to lift a person higher.

Question: Today it is possible to create a single genetic culture, to improve humanity. Would it be good if all people become equally perfect? An ideal poet, an ideal scientist, an ideal politician with an innate ability not to take bribes, not to betray.

Will it be possible immediately to build an ideal spiritual society based on such an ideal society in the social sense?

Answer: That would be terrible. If people without freewill immediately got the opportunity to bestow, fill, love, and respect each other, then it will be an upside-down world. It would be an absolutely terrible world. It would not be anti-egoistic.

Question: Is it because it was created artificially?

Answer: Yes. That is, then they would be able to control the forces that should have been aimed at uniting people in such a way that they will divide people. I do not know how to choose the right words and phrases for this, but this, in general, would be the possibility of terrible events.

Question: If we create a society of ideal people?

Answer: Yes. I hope that the upper forces of nature will not allow us to do this.

Question: Are you saying now that evil should exist in the world?

Answer: Yes! Evil should balance good so that we constantly choose between evil and good, so that slowly, and gradually evil turns into good, and thus we would move forward, learning, educating ourselves, and educating new generations.

Question: Are you saying that a human, in principle, is a choice between evil and good?

Answer: Yes. Without this choice, without freewill between evil and good, a person will not be able to exist.

Comment: But a person is likely to choose evil. After all, this is his nature.

My Response: No, he should have the opportunity. I am talking about the fact that we will live in a time when we will have the opportunity to choose and choose freely.

Question: Will we choose the good?

Answer: Not necessarily. You cannot live in a world of absolute goodness. You must come to this gradually and understand how evil should participate in creation, and how it should help us become good.

Question: Are you saying that evil should not be destroyed?

Answer: Yes. It must exist alongside the good and constantly, all the time help the good reveal its specific nature.

Question: With the help of what will good grow all the time?

Answer: With the help of evil.

Question: Does it mean that as soon as evil begins to grow good will immediately grow, and this is how we will advance?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What heights can good reach?

Answer: Complete freedom of will.

Question: What is it, what is behind it?

Answer: This is a state where a person becomes absolutely good, absolutely corrected, absolutely bestowing, and this will not interfere with his development.

Question: Is all this due to evil?

Answer: Yes. That is why evil was created as the main force of nature.

Question: Do people really have to lose everything in order to start listening to Kabbalists? Is it correct to say that when they lose everything, they will have a completely different approach?

Answer: The fact is that on the one hand the world should be thoroughly shaken; on the other hand, we have to tell the world about Kabbalah. Without this, they will not discover it. There should be a showcase that people walk past all the time without noticing and then suddenly notice.

As correctly shown in Harry Potter: suddenly you enter the platform 9 ¾ through the wall. You are walking down a normal London street and suddenly you walk into some side door, and suddenly there is the 15^th century there, although it is the 20^th century on the calendar.

This is how all of humanity passes by the entrance to the other world. Everything is explained to them, but they do not feel it yet. They have no need to turn their heads and look at this showcase that displays Kabbalistic books, explanations about the meaning of life, and our media. They just do not notice them; they glance at them, and move on.

It requires inner suffering, an inner search: “How can I save myself? Where is the exit from this state, for the world and for me personally?” When this question arises seriously, then the search for an answer to it will begin.

This will be the case in many countries of the world. In humanity it will become an obsession: “What should we do? For what and how?” That is when people will certainly look anew in the direction of Kabbalah.

Suddenly they will say: “Ah! How did we not notice this before? It turns out that the Internet is full of this information! See the huge amount of material! We do not know what to do, where to go, but they have where to go: all kinds of groups, centers, open university, radio, television; everything is there.”

That is, on the one hand, we are preparing for this; on the other hand, their inner soul-shaking will make them pay attention to Kabbalah.

But we should not wait for them to be shaken. You have to love people because they are a part of you. Now you do not feel them yet, but you will begin to feel that this is your integral part.

You will suddenly feel them closer than you feel yourself. You will begin to love them more than yourself when you discover what the rest of humanity means to you. It turns out that this is the innermost, most important, and most beloved part of you.

All the most hated, most distant people, whom you neglected, could not touch, could not think about, and absolutely did not want to see next to you, suddenly will be revealed to you as the most desirable and dear.

It is impossible to convey what changes will occur. You will perceive them as a part of your soul, only the innermost part.

Question: Why is it arranged so that a person has to work to earn his living?

Answer: This was done on purpose so that we could be connected with each other and serve each other. It is said: “Go and make a living from each other.”

Everything is arranged for a forced connection between us: me to you and you to me. I give you shoes, you give me clothes. This one gives bread to me, that one wine, and I give them this and that. This is called “communication by necessity.”

We see how, as egoism grows; we are constantly developing more things to be interconnected. This is a subconscious correction of the world. Everything goes as it goes.

For us, Kabbalists, the main thing is to present people with the knowledge of why all this is spinning and what it leads to. We show them how egoism develops over the course of history and gradually leads us to devastation.

Being a gravedigger to itself, egoism shows us how unable it is to fill us or to give us a sense of the meaning of life, something eternal, perfect. But, in fact, this is exactly what we want.

We subconsciously forget ourselves in life so as not to think about the end, because it is terrible since you part with everything that you did. And you did everything just to maintain your animal body. What for? What is the point? At least an animal doesn’t ask about it.

What are you living for? For children? What are they for? Why do you give birth to them so that they suffer? You give birth for your egoism, it is nice for you. And they are the same.

It turns out that our life without an answer about its higher meaning is not only meaningless, but simply insignificant, worse than that of animals, because at least they do not ask this question. And we, in order not to ask them, fill ourselves with all sorts of toys.

Comment: Working in an atmosphere of cynicism and deception sucks energy out of us. The stress level increases. But the most striking thing (this discovery was made by scientists) is that by pushing subordinates to dishonest acts, the employer himself becomes a victim of deception on their part. The one who cheats for you will cheat against you. That is what they say.

If employees realize that the company has no moral guidelines, that it seeks to sell the product by hook or by crook and to squeeze the maximum out of the customer, then sooner or later they will begin to behave in accordance with this false culture. And the conclusion is very interesting: “It is beneficial for a capitalist to be ethical. And ethical business will flourish.”

My Response: As soon as they begin to realize that the company is pushing them to steal from customers, they immediately turn it into stealing from managers. Because it is much easier with managers.

Comment: There are many thefts along the road in many varieties…

My Response: It is known that theft is 70 to 80 to 90%.

Question: Is it because the ones at the top are thieves?

Answer: Yes, and they say: “Steal from others.”

Question: And how do you like this conclusion that business should be ethical, then nobody will steal?

Answer: Yes. If there is such a situation in the enterprise that we do not push to sell, do not deceive, and behave openly with customers, then, of course, employees will have this feeling; this feeling will be transmitted through the sale to customers too. And it will be a completely different atmosphere.

Meaning, this firm will inspire confidence and people will buy from it.

Question: Why do we usualy not reach these states?

Answer: Our egoism is very shallow. It cannot see beyond its nose.

Question: Why is it so stupid?

Answer: It was created this way on purpose. Because it is created in only one quality—in any case, get-get-get. And therefore, it cannot be any other way. Outside of myself, I cannot see for myself. I am blinded.

Comment: That is why over time I slowly start stealing. I am starting beautifully, planning to create an honest business.

My Response: You have no other choice. Egoism has no other way out. It sees no other way. It does not have the opportunity to maneuver between give and take, better or worse, this way, or that way. There is no such thing. To do this, you must already be a person with special inclinations and qualities.

Great crooks are great combinators. And they just know how to maneuver between give and take.

Question: It is said about some people: he is direct, he is so honest. Is this most likely just maneuvering?

Answer: Yes, it is natural. These smart people, businessmen, know how to maneuver.

Question: But still, do you have any golden advice for businessmen and businesses? Is there any advice, after all? Egoism will not hear it, but still is there any advice?

Answer: A person must be an intelligent egoist. He must understand that he is an egoist, and he must rise above his egoism, too.

Question: So, if he is a smart egoist, will he try to treat customers honestly?

Answer: Yes, he will try to establish friendly relations with customers, and then his business will flourish.

Comment: This is a tip for business prosperity. Such a simple piece of advice that is very difficult to do.

My Response: Try to be direct with them. It may be simple at first, but when you become an owner and so forth, a leader with such huge opportunities, then that is the problem of staying simple.

Capitalists have found a cure for this—competition—inside enterprises, inside all kinds of organizations, and so on, not even outside. And in some ways it saves. But, in general, it is still a problem, because consolidation happens, mergers happens, and again you cheat the buyer.

Question: When will we stop cheating the buyer? When will the buyer be attracted to such entrepreneurs, to such businessmen?

Answer: No, there is no such thing. This is only if we begin to feel that we are deceiving ourselves in all this.

Question: But will this feeling come?

Answer: I do not know. To do this, you need to be a very serious manager, maybe someone who is interested in development, and not dollars. There are such people here and there. And they are doing business.

Comment: Today you can interview a famous person who lived in the last century. Specialists are creating bots based on famous historical figures’ character, works, and so on.

In one creation of a Churchill bot, it was asked: “What is the main problem of our time?” He replied: “You know my position, it is fundamental—will we be able to reach complete unity in order to minimize the misfortunes of the world, or will we plunge into empty chatter, dissonance, and discord.”

I somehow did not imagine that Churchill would talk about the unity of the world.

My Response: Everyone understands and has always understood, in general, that this is, of course, the solution to the problem, but it is unattainable! You could ask Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, or whoever you want, and they would answer the same thing.

Any ruler understands that this is the only solution, but it cannot be achieved, and therefore it is necessary to take something else as a basis.

Question: Do you think if a bot of some “hawk,” a militarist, were created that he would have come to this?

Answer: I think even today if you ask the great dictators of the world, they would say the same thing.

Comment: You said it is impossible.

My Response: It is impossible. Therefore, each of them chooses a different path, which, in their opinion, can still lead people to some level of happiness. And then they will prove to you that this is what they want and do, and they implement this very installation.

Question: So, the earth can be strewn with corpses and the dictator’s thought is to unite the world and lead it to happiness?

Answer: Of course! It is impossible otherwise!

Question: What kind of mind are we talking about? What are we talking about now?

Answer: We are talking about the human mind. A person who reaches some level understands that the best state is when everyone is in good connection with each other, in mutual assistance, and so on.

But since this is not in human nature, what can we do to at least somehow make such a state for people?

Question: Is this why they want to conquer this happiness?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: There will be fewer people, but they will be kind of connected.

My Response: No, they do not set such a task directly. But, in general, this is what happens.

Question: Why is this unattainable?

Answer: Because it is not in human nature.

Question: Is there any way to introduce this into human nature?

Answer: There is no way! Egoism is within us. And it is terrible, extreme! In our time, it has grown so much. It does not give us the opportunity to think that we can be in good connection with others.

Question: Why do you call for it all the time then?

Answer: Because I believe that in nature there is a means to curb egoism, and there is a cure for egoism. It can be changed but not destroyed. But the cure helps to use egoism correctly. And then everything will be fine.

Question: It is clear that egoism demands for itself, exclusively for itself, and nothing else, and not for anyone else. This is egoism. How can this cure reverse this requirement for my own sake? Can you give us a simple formula? Here I am, living for myself, and so is every person.

Answer: You just have to understand that the best thing for you is when you are connected by good ties with others.

Question: So is it, after all, better for me?

Answer: For you.

Question: Purely egoistically?

Answer: Of course! We need nothing else.

Love others unrequitedly. This is the best thing you can wish for yourself. As soon as we want to get closer to each other, gradually rising above our egoism in the movement of love, in the movement of adhesion, connection, mutual assistance, and so on, we will begin to feel the positive forces of nature that will help us in this.

Question: Is this happening outside of my mind?

Answer: Yes. I will begin to identify such forces of nature that will help me get closer to others.

Question: Do I have to take your word for it?

Answer: Do not believe anything. We just need to try to create a mutual good connection through our efforts in this way. Then these—our desires, efforts, and all this—will change the world.
