Replacing a technological connection with a sensory one is an irreversible process. No one can disconnect us from each other. All of our systems have developed to such a state that if some country switches something off, the whole world suffers.

It will also be impossible to disconnect; the general system will cover us completely. It will be both cosmic and terrestrial, and it will break through thousands of various paths.

Suddenly you will find that you are connected with absolutely all people on Earth. Just what do you do with them? You really want to be in contact, but there is emptiness around!

This is when humanity will begin to understand that connection between us is necessary. We will begin to reveal another world that will fulfill us. The fulfillment will come from our contact, and a good contact, not just a connection where I send you all sorts of smiles and you send them back to me, or something else. No.

When we begin to contact each other through feelings, then we will understand that we can find the source of our fulfillment in them and that without others I cannot be fulfilled. I will look for people by their character, by their desire, people who want to be together and be fulfilled from this. Then the Internet will be freed from the control of various businessmen who are trying to make money from it. We will not let them manipulate us.

There will be virtual revolutions on the Internet. We will throw off the yoke of the big media tycoons who rule there so insidiously that we do not even know what they are doing to us. Over time, all these Google, Wikipedia, and other huge companies will be remade.

We live in a world full of lies where there is no independent, objective media. You take a newspaper, read it, and try to find through the news published in it what is really happening. No one is interested in the opinion of the authors of these articles today because it is all very biased.

Thanks to the Internet, you visit several sites, read comments on some event, and see how the spectrum fluctuates from minus to plus, how opposite everything is, and how for an ordinary person there is no point in reading anything.

I read because I am interested in the views of different people in order to be able to explain my view. An ordinary person, however, devours this so-called analysis and comments. It is just awful the things they feed him there. Everything is by command. It depends on his party.

I remember, I had a friend, a member of one of the parties. He actively pursued a certain campaign, I do not remember for what. After the elections, he started saying completely opposite things. I asked: “How is this so? You used to say something completely different.” He replied: “The situation has changed.”

That is, absolutely no beliefs, goals, or ideals, nothing is taken into account. Only what you need specifically to win. That is it. The price is irrelevant: if it is necessary to say the opposite, we will say the opposite.

Since we still do not know how to act for the sake of the Creator, we must act for the sake of our group, for the sake of our friends. It is the same as in ordinary life, a person never lives only for himself. After all, he has parents, children, or even grandchildren already, and he lives for the sake of all of them.

Sometimes we hear that a person dreams of giving up everything and going to a deserted island to take care only of himself. But this is only out of desperation because a person should be connected with others.

Modern media connect us more and more closely to each other. As a result, we will feel like living together with the whole world, not just inside our computer, but inside our brain, our heart, from where it is impossible to escape. In this way, the Creator will obligate us to unite as one person with one heart.

Now we reject this connection, but it will certainly come, partly unconsciously and partly according to our own desire, for lack of another solution.

Everyone will be required to become specialists in the field of connection between people. Just as today everyone needs to know how to turn on a computer, enter a password, how to use email and other applications, so in the future we will need more and more knowledge in building a connection between hearts.

Question: As a Kabbalist, you feel the world differently than an ordinary person. Do you feel the general pain when something happens to the world?

Answer: And what do I do every day? Telling everyone and everywhere how to come to a better life not in a tragic way but gently, smoothly, quickly, and comfortably.

I feel the pain that all of humanity may experience.

Question: But not the current one?

Answer: The current suffering is not pain compared to what may happen. It is so small that it is not even worth talking about it.

Of course it is suffering. Of course it is a great torment. You look at the screen and see skeletal children without food, without drink, without medication, dying from infectious diseases. You see drug addicts and depressed people. And is it better for the rest? Look at what they are messing around with, what are they doing in general?

But compared to what may happen during this period when correction is realized not in a good way, but in an evil way… Can you imagine how much humanity needs to be beaten in order for it to correct itself, to turn it into awareness, from awareness to consent, and from consent to realization?

But here, it is right away—take it and implement it. Easy. After all, if the majority is together, then everything is easy.

Question: As a Kabbalist, can’t you see the current pressure on humanity as good?

Answer: No, I look at it based on what a person feels.

When parents punish a child and he cries, is it good? But they have no choice. He wants to do something bad, and they are trying to stop him. He resists with all his might, and then they punish him because it is impossible to explain anything to him in any other way.

They try to make him instinctively feel that if he uses egoism, he will be hurt: “If you are rude to someone, then know that you will get hurt accordingly. Do you feel pain? Yes, you feel it. The rudeness that you have allowed toward others, do you understand it? You do. Still doing the same thing? Then we will cause you pain until you decide that it is better without it. To that extent, you will stop being rude to others.”

Meaning, it is necessary to integrate the pain with the injury that he inflicts on society. This is the correction.

Imagine how much humanity needs to be beaten so that it understands that using egoism is to its own detriment, what must punishments be with every egoistic movement: internal—in thoughts, and external—in action.

Question: Is it our task to disseminate the wisdom of Kabbalah to people as widely as possible?

Answer: The task is not in the wisdom of Kabbalah, but in making a person understand that he is offered a method of existence in our changing world. After all, whatever one was taught and whatever one has is absolutely not enough for our world because it is beginning to be governed differently.

Today a new governance is descending into the world, the analog governance of the Creator. The upper world is approaching our world. Moreover, these two worlds are opposite and they do not coincide with each other, so there is a sense of contradiction between them. We feel this in the form of huge, global, internal crises.

Without understanding the singular analog control system where we have to perceive the world as one single whole, we will not be able to do anything. I will not be able to manage an enterprise, trade, world finance, the country, any part of it, or the common world—nothing!

Another matrix is being dressed on our world, a matrix which binds all people together. And if I don’t treat everyone this way, if I don’t make decisions on this basis, then I won’t succeed. It is like I’m solving this problem according to the wrong equation.

Therefore the world does not need any wisdom. It needs to know that tomorrow it will have nothing to eat and will not be able to escape from climatic, environmental, and other impacts. Tomorrow money will disappear. There will be some kind of problem in the world; revolutions will begin such that people will stop working. Millions of people in cities!

If earlier a person had a piece of field that could feed him, today billions of people live in cities! Looting and murder will begin; people will starve to death. After all, such huge conglomerates need to be supplied with thousands of truckloads of food per day! Imagine that nothing works—no ports, no railways, nothing is delivered, loaded, or accepted. And this can happen in more than one country. What’s next?

We need to explain the problem to the world as well as how to solve it! They themselves don’t have a solution. So what if they change the government? What can one person do?! How will he be able to restore order? How will he be able to overcome, say, a month of downtime in his country?!

Comment: But this has been the case throughout the entire development of mankind!

My Response: No! There was never such scale! There was no question at all that humanity should unite. Today this is a requirement from above.

Start looking at the world normally! It becomes integral, meaning, globally connected. And if we don’t look at it that way, if we don’t have such decision-making technology, then we won’t be able to do anything! Not a single banking transaction. You will, it seems, egoistically correctly calculate with your mind everything that needs to be done, and in the end: “We wanted the best, but it turned out, as always, the opposite.”

Question: Why does Europe represent the rigid backbone of humanity? It did not choose this role itself.

Answer: Nobody chooses anything. It is just that the egoism that exists in us must go through all the stages of its development. I personally do not blame anyone. I am just stating the facts and explaining the dialectic of development.

If freewill appears in us, then from this moment onward we can talk about something. And if there is no freewill, then we must go through all these states as we did.

Question: But can something help the Europeans?

Answer: Yes, they will have to go in the opposite direction of all the suffering that they have caused to other people. Mainly because they hated them as carriers of spiritual knowledge. They hated unconsciously, without knowing why, but it does not mean anything. They will have to realize all this and go through it; otherwise, they will not begin correction.

What will they need to correct then? They must realize this evil, reveal it, and correct it. Based on what will a person move forward if not on the revelation of evil and its correction? How will one reach the highest spiritual degree? All people must achieve it, each one on the basis of the evil in which he has been during all his cycles.

The Europeans in one way, the Chinese in a different way, the Japanese in a different way, etc. Everyone has gone through history in their own way, and everyone in their own way must realize the whole path of development of their egoism to begin correcting it.

By asking this question, you treat people, so to speak, in a human way, i.e., as material objects. And I treat them as a desire created by the Creator that must undergo all these metamorphoses and achieve correction, similarity to the Creator.

But to achieve this, a person must feel himself opposite to the Creator. Look at how much he has already done in contrast to the Creator. Now he must only realize the opposite and then correct it. These stages still remain. Europe will soon begin to feel them for itself.

Question: Kabbalah embraces a broad view of the world. What is the best way to convey information to make it easier to understand?

Answer: The information itself is very global, and at the same time it includes all special cases.
Let’s say I have a business. I will not be able to run it if I do not take into account all of humanity and the interconnectedness between people. But how to do it?

It means that from today or tomorrow onward I have to think: “I need to obtain something, sell it, and transport it somewhere. But it won’t work if I don’t start thinking about the whole of humanity, that at the same time it should be good for everyone else, that I take for myself only what is necessary for existence, and I give away everything else so that everyone can enjoy the results of my work.” To act in this way?! Wow!

But this is required by the governance descending on us today from above. If we do not comply with it, then it will inevitably start to break us, and it will get worse. Crises of various formats and nature will become more frequent.

All this needs to be explained at the smallest level. I care about something else, about my job, about my child, or about my family. Do I focus on the fact that without thinking about others, I will not achieve a normal life even in my home?

I inevitably have to think that all of humanity is one single whole. There is no other way! I have to get accustomed to this image and gradually instill it within myself. With more willful effort I can approach it, and the sooner I will discover that it is indeed so.

It will suddenly begin to open up to me as if emerging from a fog: “It turns out that indeed everything is interconnected! What to do?! Where to go?” Or the other way around: “How to accept it?! How to grasp it?! How to work with it?!”

It is a system you can’t run away from! It should not seem to me like something defiant, as something threatening, but on the contrary, as salvation! Not salvation from the fact that I feel bad now, but salvation from this futile life, from this emptiness, from this transient life, a transition to something bright and eternal.

Comment: Alexander writes: “Michael Laitman, when you say that the Creator is good and does only good, what do you want from an unfortunate poor person? If there is only grief around him, then the fact that the Creator is good sounds like a mockery of him.

Your house is destroyed, this is good; your loved ones have died, this is good; you are forced to leave everything you have earned, this is good. We have to convince ourselves that all this is for our good, that the Creator is kind and does good, or how should we understand you?”

My Response: It is very simple to understand me. We must try to understand the laws of nature, and try to fulfill them and disseminate them. These are the laws of the Creator.

Comment: There are thousands of questions like this, especially in our time, and you continue to say that nature is connection and good and the Creator is good and does good. These questions multiply in conjunction with what is happening in the world. How can a person renounce what is happening in front of his eyes and in his feelings?

My Response: What he sees before his eyes is done by people, not by the Creator.

The Creator set conditions, and if we had fulfilled them, we would have lived completely differently. Otherwise, what do you do?

Question: These laws of nature, as you say, the Creator, should I know and fulfill them?

Answer: Never mind fulfilling them, but at least know them.

Question: Can you name the main law?

Answer: It is very simple: “Love thy neighbor as thyself.”

Comment: We run into this formula all the time. But it’s not easy. You immediately say that this needs to be achieved.

My Response: You are talking about the law. I gave you the law. If this formula is not easy, what will you do?

Comment: So you are saying that we all need to know about this, all of humanity does.

My Response: Yes. The whole world is built on it. If you act in this way, you will be closer to the Creator and to fulfilling His law, the global law of all nature. What’s next? See for yourself.

Question: So I know that I can’t do it yet, I understand that I can’t, and you call this advancement already?

Answer: Of course!

Question: The fact that I understand that I cannot fulfill this law?

Answer: It doesn’t matter. But you understand that such a law exists, and in the end, ideally, if you followed it, you would be at the degree of the Creator.

Question: And who are you more for, for those who say and even write to us: “I am fulfilling this law” or for those who say: “It is impossible to execute it”?

Answer: Of course, it is impossible to execute.

Question: How can we fulfill it in this case? Do we have to think about it?

Answer: If we gradually connect for the sake of fulfilling this law, then we begin to acquire in ourselves within our connection qualities that begin to feel this law on ourselves, and gradually, gradually we approach it and its fulfillment. That is all.

Question: Are these qualities in us, or are they somehow given to us? You say, “They weren’t in us. There is no love in us.”

Answer: They weren’t in us, absolutely. We attract them. We attract them from above, so to say. From an upper degree.

Question: So there is our degree and there is a higher degree. It is here. Is our task just to reach out to it?

Answer: To draw it to yourself.

Question: Do I have to live with this thought that I want to draw this quality to myself?

Answer: Yes, to live for this.

Question: Is this the goal of life by and large?

Answer: Of course. It is to pull up to the love of one’s neighbor is the meaning of life.

Question: Tell me, will we ever reach a state when a mass of people…?

Answer: We can’t wait, we have to do it on ourselves. Then it will happen.

Question: Then will I stop seeing, let’s say, the way Alexander describes, that everything around is terrible?

Answer: I will see that everything is terrible, but it can all be fixed.

Nature has its own plan of development. But have we developed according to our plans until today? All of the plans that we build are collapsing. What plans does nature have? Let us get to know them, attain them, and have a look at them. It is always worth knowing at least the thing we exist in.

We cannot do anything with the surrounding nature, we are part of it. Even when we think we want something, it is also from this very nature. We cannot exit it, and I cannot exit out of myself. No matter how hard I try, I am still inside of my nature.

So what is this internal program according to which I change all the time? I need to understand this; otherwise, this program pushes me to who knows what. If I get to know it, it is quite possible that in accordance with it I will develop comfortably and in a good way. I will feel good, and everyone will feel good. It is time for humanity to stop being so clueless.

The wisdom of Kabbalah speaks about this. Therefore, it is now being revealed and calling us, first of all, to study nature, not how to subordinate it to ourselves, but how to subordinate ourselves to it.

There is nothing complicated about it. There are only two forces in nature—the force of reception and the force of bestowal. The force of bestowal is the upper force that created us and animates everything. The force of reception is the force of all created beings, and in a human it is the biggest of all. Humans use it absolutely unreasonably and use all of nature and everyone around them to their own detriment.

It means that we need to learn from nature how to optimally use both forces given to us. If we see how it does it, we will be fine. Call nature the Creator, call it nature; it does not matter. That is, Kabbalah is the most natural, integral, and global wisdom about nature.

Comment: But it is described in a very difficult way. Not everyone will be able to understand it.

My Response: I do not think physics and other sciences describe everything much easier. On the contrary, Kabbalah is a simple wisdom because it describes everything in feelings that are understandable to everyone. When you begin to operate with what Kabbalah says, then you experience these actions on yourself. They become the closest to you, the most real and most tangible, since they are just inside you.
