Kids, Stand in A Circle!

961.1Comment: Scientists report that the Gulf Stream is weakening and some project that Antarctica will likely be the only habitable continent by the end of the century if climate change continues its trajectory.

My Response: There could be an ice age for Europe. It would be worse in England than in Siberia. That is, Europe will practically freeze. And they won’t be able to do anything, no gas will save them. Terrible climate change is coming!

It is not about greenhouse effects, it is not about an oil slick or ocean littering. It is our common absolute opposite of nature—spiritual.

There is only one solution: stand up kids, in a circle, take each other’s hands and be good children. Then gifts will immediately fall from the sky. A bonbonniere for everyone!

If you don’t want to be in true inner friendship with each other, in balance with nature, and come to agreement and reveal the Creator, then rain and snow and then the scorching sun, floods, and floods mixed with fires will fall on you.

There will be nothing to eat, nothing to drink. You will walk around with sticks and fight each other! This is what Kabbalah predicts if there is no normal correction of our nature.

A Global Idea

254.01Question: What is better for dissemination to fully disclose one idea or try to convey as many thoughts as possible?

Answer: There should be only one idea—an integral society in an integral world.

The transition of the world from discrete, egoistic, and individual to integral, connected, and common is happening now. We cannot get away from this! This is a challenge from nature, a challenge from the Creator, to us.

We must realize this and try to adapt our advancement at the same pace as it is happening on His part; otherwise, it will be bad for us. Humanity will not survive without it.

Improve the World or Change Yourself?

597.01Comment: A person’s main problem is that he is not tied to higher coordinates. When you say that our world does not exist, that it is just an illusion, the question arises: “Where am I?”

My Response: Nothing can be done. There is a methodology for this. So it is necessary to gradually introduce a person into this, to explain, and to give him the opportunity to explore how to manage his qualities. All this is given to us initially. Everyone can and must attain the truth. This must be learned.

All the suffering in the world pushes us to do just that. It does not push us to improve our world, this small sphere in which we exist. There is no need for that.

We have to change ourselves so as to go out into the outer sphere, and then into a more external sphere, and into an even more external sphere. And if we start improving our little sphere instead, and we want to stay inside it, we only get the blows of nature, which try to push us out like a cherry stone. This is what we feel today in all our actions in the world.

Therefore, we do not need to change the world or even improve society, but rather we need to help a person reach the next degree of existence with a completely different screen in another world in another dimension.

You do not have to do anything else, just this. Everything else will only lead to additional suffering and to the postponement of the end; it will distance the good ascent.

Our world aspires only to this, and we will definitely come to this. But it all depends on the amount of suffering and the length of time it takes to realize that in the end we need to do something reasonable, i.e., first figure out what nature has planned for us.

How To Find a Ford in the Turbulent River of Life

1.02Comment: There is a Chilean parable about a shepherd who crossed a small river over a shaky bridge for 40 years. He was always afraid of falling. One day, he suddenly saw a man approaching who crossed the river through an invisible ford. The shepherd shouts to the man: “I have been walking here for 40 years and I do not know this ford.” He answers: “Look, you are a shepherd, you lead the sheep. But who are you following?”

My Response: This is good. Think about who is leading you.

Question: Humanity is crossing this shaky bridge all the time over a turbulent river. It never thinks about who it is following. It is always inventing some kind of economic and political program.

Answer: There is an effect of mass. The mass is going, and I go.

Comment: People are already falling in the same place, right there; the bridge is already full of holes.

My Response: It does not matter. But they are going, and I must go with them. A sense of community.

Question: Do we repeat the same wars, even in a more terrible way?

Answer: The herd feeling leads us all.

Comment: In this parable, the shepherd saw a man walking through an invisible ford.

My Response: But you still must see this.

Question: How can we see that there is a ford in this turbulent river of life?

Answer: To do this, we need to see the person who is crossing.

Question: How do we see? How can we reveal this vision?

Answer: This is not given to everyone.

Question: Is there a ford in this river?

Answer: There is a ford everywhere and always. But to do this, you need to be able to see a real person who knows how to cross the river and knows where the ford is.

Question: Let us say you are talking about a person, a wise man, who knows where the ford is. How does he know where the ford is? Did he fall off the bridge himself and so on? How does he find a ford in this turbulent river of life?

Answer: This is already a connection with the Creator. There is no other way.

Question: Does it mean that He created this river, He directed us on shaky bridges, He pushes us to absolutely everything, and He also must indicate the ford?

Answer: A person should ask Him to show the crossing.

Question: Should people ask the Creator to show the crossing, the normal, peaceful, good one?

Answer: Yes.

Question: When will this happen?

Answer: When we ask and demand, when there is a need, then we will see.

Question: What is a real request that has an answer?

Answer: That we definitely need to cross this river. We want to cross it not by our own will and with our own mind, but so that we are shown from above for what purpose and why. Then we will get an answer.

Question: Are you saying that we are building these shaky bridges all the time, but we only must ask?

Answer: Of course.

Comment: Will we be able to cross without a bridge then?

My Response: Yes. Otherwise, in the end, we all fall off these bridges and drown.

Out of Balance

764.1Comment: From time to time there are reports in the press that thousands of birds, fish, or other animals are dying all over the world.

My Response: Such reports appear only when it is clearly happening in front of people’s eyes, but in fact, we are in the state of a huge, terrible catastrophe!

This is not just an ecological disaster, but a natural one where we will have nothing to eat. Not only will there be no money to buy something, printing it is not a problem, you will not be able to feed anyone! There will be food riots, epidemics, a kind of ten Egyptian plagues, if we do not start to change ourselves.

Mankind, with its persistent unwillingness to pay attention to what nature requires of us, causes increasingly harsh, severe forces, like a child who does not want to listen to what he is told. Eventually, he will be forced. But with what methods?!

As long as they don’t give him a slap, it doesn’t matter. “Let’s live somehow without it! You can’t do anything.” And when the time comes that we are no longer able to do anything, airports will stop, communication will disappear, there will be no normal water.

We see what is happening. I don’t want to scare anyone. I’m just stating that all this suggests that we are out of complete balance with nature.

Life Should Be Much Simpler

79.01Question: Nastya writes: “One day the lights went off and I called a neighbor who had two children and invited her to visit me. We were sitting and talking at the table with candles burning with the children were nearby. As soon as the lights came back on, the children ran and turned on the TV, and we became silent.

What do you think about this feeling of happiness that was there and then was suddenly gone?“

Answer: Yes, it is gone because it presses. But it has always been so. Recall past times, even centuries ago.

Question: How can we feel such happiness now? Is it possible in the light, with modern technology, progress, and all this or not?

Answer: No. With present life, the way of life, its pace, and everything else that exists, we cannot make ourselves happy. We give in to what we have created, and it is killing us.

Question: I would say that we are bought. Do you think it is not necessary to create or still move toward the goal, toward what I want to be?

Answer: To move toward the goal, you just need to live in a much simpler way, not to wait until nature, society, or the Creator crush us, but do it, perhaps reasonably and gradually, somehow by yourself.

Question: Do you have an idea of how a person should do it?

Answer: It will not work to turn off the lights. It will not work to diminish anything. There are too many interested egoists who will still produce all sorts of rubbish and make all sorts of dull productions on screens—anything possible. All this needs a very strong push and revelation of evil in order to correct it.

How can we uncover this evil? By a serious war?

Question: In whom will it reveal itself, in consumers or in those who push everything into a consumer?

Answer: It is required from both sides. Both from producers and consumers.

Question: So that it is suddenly revealed that this is all evil?

Answer: That this is the end! You cannot go any further; that is it! There must be an uprising. Let us make the world simpler, more understandable, more comfortable, and most importantly, calmer. In such a world we will be able to clarify in ourselves what we are for, why, and what we should come to.

Question: And the last question, what will we understand in this case, as you said? What will we understand then?

Answer: We will understand that the main thing is what a person desires in this world. So that he clarifies it, but very seriously, not halfway. And then he will achieve this goal.

Question: So do you put it this way: “I need to get rid of all this ‘noise’ and very, very quietly focus on what I want.”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is that all? And what will he understand? What he wants?

Answer: He will understand the meaning of life—the most important thing that he has.

Question: What is it in?

Answer: The meaning of life is in attaining the meaning of life.

Question: It is like a wheel: the meaning of life is attaining the meaning of life. Is there some kind of eternity in this, in what you are saying?

Answer: Of course. It is absoluteness, eternity, perfection, and infinity.

The Needs of the Middle Class

549.01Question: In principle, Kabbalah is intended for the middle class. After all, people who stand a little higher are concerned about preserving everything they have achieved. And those who are lower are thinking about how to feed themselves. Does it mean that the middle class is the most optimal for studying?

Answer: Yes. I think that as a result of the crisis, the middle class will be the most affected, and it will be possible to talk to them.

On the one hand, these are developed people. On the other hand, they are not devoted to their egoism for some higher purposes and at the same time cannot afford to descend to the level of homeless people and be concerned with just getting a piece of bread for themselves.

Of course, they need a piece of bread, but besides that they have other needs. We need to tell them where to fill these needs. I think they will find it in Kabbalah.

Everything Will Change in a Blink of an Eye

292Question: Igor asks: “I am an empath; I am physically shaken by the troubles that are happening around. How can I learn not to empathize?”

Answer: No, it is necessary to empathize. This is how we were created. We just need to create a parallel system in ourselves that will understand why everything negative is happening. In order for us to complement this with a positive to extinguish this negative.

Comment: Igor writes that he is deeply shaken by what is happening, he empathizes with it.

My Response: Nothing of this is needed. Absolutely! It is necessary to relate to this very simply.

Everything in the world is in an exceptional form. It depends only on us as to how these opposing forces and phenomena will complement each other to absolute, complete perfection. That is what we need to desire.

Question: Reveal the secret; how do you see it all? We see it quite differently. Look at what is happening: wars are being prepared there; weapons are being accumulated over there; people are dying and close to death from hunger in other places. So, he says it shakes him deeply. How can you say, everything is in a state of perfection?

Answer: First, it is necessary to try to reach the feeling of the Creator, who manages all this, and manages it absolutely calmly, methodically, and with love. And He already sees the beginning, the middle, and the end in one absolute state. This is the first.

Second, everything that happens in the world happens inside of us. Inside of us, only inside of us, and not somewhere outside where stars explode, something falls down, something is being done. This is how it seems to a person. For this, we just need to read a little bit of Kabbalistic materials regarding the impression about the world, the universe, about what is happening. It is all inside of us and only inside of us. And if we change our qualities, then accordingly we will change our perception of the world, and we will see a completely different world.

How could it be? After all, I can see who is killing whom, who is doing something with someone. Look at what is going on in the world! Just evil, only evil. It is because that is how I look at it, at this world.

Comment: So you say in a simple way: inside me is war, I see war; inside me is evil, I see evil; inside me is hate, I see hate.

My Response: Yes. This is called an “egoistic, individualistic perception of the world.”

Question: So, this is my correction?

Answer: Change yourself and you will see a different world. And what is it like in general? It is nothing! A simple light flooding the entire universe.

Question: Am I in front of this light?

Answer: To the extent that I can imagine it. And not further. But I think we are getting closer to it.

Question: Do you have such a feeling?

Answer: Yes, I hope that it is getting closer and closer and more tangible

Question: And a person will be able to understand that if he changes, the world will change?

Answer: It is very easy. It will suddenly be simply as usual for people, why didn’t we see this before?

Question: It will not be like a discovery of America?

Answer: No. People will just talk about it as if it was also so yesterday. So, it was not there yesterday, you didn’t see it. You say “yesterday”?

Who?! We?! How could it be?

Question: Are you talking about what a person would possibly say: “I’ve changed, the world has changed”?

Answer: He will not even realize that he has changed; it will be so natural.

Question: Just the world will change, that’s all?

Answer: Yes. He’ll live in a different world.

Question: But is it going to happen because of his internal efforts that have been going on all the time?

Answer: But not everyone made internal efforts. But in general, it will happen anyway.

Question: Who does it, a person, or is it done by the light, the Creator?

Answer: The light of course! But we need to ask very hard for the light to do this with us.

Meaningless Filling of Emptiness

272Instead of maintaining connection between us and filling each other, we, with our egoistic properties, want all the needs of others, their desires and empty spaces, to be ours. We try to fill them and as a result remain empty and unhappy.

But why should I envy because I cannot fulfill myself anyway! “Others have it, and I should have it.” I begin to work seriously, I earn, I fulfill the desires adopted from others and do not experience any pleasure because they are not mine; they should not be realized in me, but in them!

And what is the result? I worked out too much, spent my life on it, tried to fill other people’s desires in myself, and I die with nothing, even more empty, many, many times emptier.

This is our life. Instead of acting to the contrary, to be filled with the fact that you feel the desires of others and you exist in order to connect with them.

Become a Spiritual Fetus

282.01Currently we are at the first initial stage of our spiritual development. There is no way for us not to be born in the future. But we can be born the hard way when we resist and do not want to go to the state of a more developed fetus; we do not want to increasingly adapt the spiritual forces of bestowal and love of others within us and assemble a spiritual image from all people.

When we assemble it at such a level that we will deny and destroy everything that contradicts the connection between us, then we will become a spiritual fetus.

Egoism between us will be increasing, and we, thanks to it, will constantly be in a greater connection with each other above it until the nine-month development of the fetus ends, and then we will reach spiritual birth.

We can imagine how difficult this period is! Now all of humanity is being pushed into the womb, and nature is beginning to pressure us. This is the huge, closed, global, integral crisis that we feel today; this is the first pressure of nature on us so that we begin to connect with each other.

It presses on us from the outside, like a mother, but still gently. Later it will push more and more if we do not start connecting with each other.
