Question: With the development of technology, people are increasingly immersed in Internet and social network addiction. You have said this is the same as drugs. How can it be treated?

Answer: In everything that develops we must realize the positive and negative sides. So far people are just playing at it, and they are playing, of course, with their egoism.

The whole Internet is a demonstration of who we are inside. When you enter the Internet, you see what humanity is. If there was some kind of extraterrestrial civilization, it would be enough for them to look into our Internet, see what is there, and they would immediately understand that there is no point in contacting us as there is nothing at all to talk about with the earthly civilization.

But this is the beginning. In principle I am very glad that this network is developing on its own, and then we will adapt it in the right direction. There will be several more hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, and there will be drought, severe cold snaps, and starvation. The future is preparing many unpleasant surprises for us.

Humanity, eventually, will begin to understand more and more that there is nothing it can do. Involuntarily the opportunity to do all sorts of stupid things will be taken away from us. When there is nothing to eat, you will not scour the Internet in search of dubious pleasures. When you have no electricity at home and the water level rises from below, or everything is burning from the heat, then you will not be up to looking for some entertainment. So there is an awareness of the need for correct development ahead.

It is very simple—get closer to each other and enter into homeostasis with nature. That is all. It is the law of equilibrium. The law of equivalence.

Now we must begin to connect with each other, that is, to not destroy the egoism that separates us, but to connect above it. Knowing that you and I are opposites, completely distanced from each other, and maybe even hate and dislike each other, we still have to start working on getting closer to each other, on interconnection. And so should everyone with everyone!

Do you understand how much suffering we will have to endure in order to go toward each other at least a little if we do it under the pressure of external forces? Imagine what hurricanes, explosions, exterminations, sunstrokes, and famine we have to endure so that people can become a little closer to each other, caring and listening to one another! Nature will roll over us like a steamroller.

Or we will understand and begin to ask: “Give us the opportunity to rise above ourselves,” and thus we will get strength and new qualities, and begin to get closer to each other. Then it will be pleasant and easy, although we do not have these qualities in us. They will appear as desirable, but only if we invite them.

If not, it will be just awful! Even in order for humanity to annul its enormous egoism, that is, to rise above it, requires terrible suffering and deprivation! A person must experience unbearable horrors in order to give up his “I.”

But if we only ask, we will go the easy, pleasant way. But this requires recognition. That is why we are trying to disseminate the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Humanity is finally beginning to realize that it is coming to an end. People are not talking about it in full voice yet, but they are already saying that they do not know what to do. This is already a good result.

Our egoism in no way wants to act the way it should. It wants everything to be the way it wants it to be. Like a small child who closes his eyes and says: “There is no such thing!” It seems to him that if he closes his eyes and sees nothing, it means that it does not exist or nobody sees him.

It turns out that humanity acts in the same way: “There is no such thing!”. When I talked to the Nobel Prize laureates in economics many years ago and told them there was a crisis, they looked at me almost with mockery: “Well, what is wrong with you? What are you talking about?!” Of course, I kept silent. With whom should I argue?

I understand that these are just people. But today they do not say that anymore, it gave them a big whack on the nose.

Nevertheless, even if they already hear, they do not want to accept it internally yet. There are several thresholds that information must pass before a person accepts it, suppresses himself, and begins to take it in.

In our spiritual work, we use the materials that Baal HaSulam wrote and build ourselves on what he did.

I know from my own experience that I am allowed to go forward only to the extent that I have to explain Kabbalah to the world, but I cannot go any further. I feel like a dog that runs on a leash beside the owner, the owner constantly holds the leash and doesn’t let the dog get ahead too much.

I would rush forward with desire and strength that I cannot even describe, but I feel that I am tied to the world. Bound! As far as the world can advance, I am permitted to go ahead of it by a few degrees and that is it. These are high, spiritual degrees, but no more! I feel a rigid attachment to the world, I cannot be free. This shows, of course, my place, my duty, and my work.

There is a huge difference in how much the world has begun to move forward in jerks now, and how much it gives me the opportunity to speak. I have to keep a lot inside myself because I cannot express myself, it is like I am mute. Then the world takes a step forward and words, images, and symbols appear. I can express it right away! Some kind of external expression appears that was not there before. This is how it follows the path that the world goes through.

He is far away, somewhere out there, sorting out his problems: the same terrorists, on the one hand, economic crises and natural disasters, on the other hand. But all this gives some kind of impetus, and I have the opportunity to express a lot of connections, laws, and root causes, to link them, and to give out a new layer that can be explained. And so, in layers, I feel that I am moving forward. But these layers depend only on how the world is going.

Question: There are people who can adapt to any situation, and there are those who would start suffering from internal turmoil if you take away their iPhone. Why are there such different classifications of egoism? Which is better?

Answer: It is difficult to say which is better because humanity is arranged in such a way that everything complements each other, like in any electronic, mechanical, human, or social schemes.

There are fools and smart people and strong and weak people. Usually, people who are physically strong are not very developed mentally and vice versa. That is, everything complements each other, and perfection is achieved through this. Therefore, it cannot be said that one wins and the other loses. The Japanese are small and slight, but look at the technology they develop. The Chinese are like that too.

Each nation has its own physical, mental, moral, and psychological characteristics, and things are moving toward ensuring that everyone complements the other. Nobody will have an advantage.

No matter how people are, for example, if they are great at doing something, they still will not be able to flaunt it and win something from others. It is the harmony that gives us winning. Without proper, mutual, and standard interaction, everyone will lose: the smart ones, the stupid ones, the strong ones, and the weak ones—everyone.

All the same, before us looms the plan of nature, its indispensable condition to bring everything to harmony, to unity. And the human level, man must fulfill this condition consciously, against his egoistic nature.

If he understands this, that is, if he looks at the world around him and sees himself below all of nature and not outside of it or above it, and he understands that everything in order to achieve homeostasis will act in this direction, he will be fine.

Otherwise, the strongest, the smartest, and the very very best will look foolish, weak, unreasonable, and flawed, and will eventually die. That is all.

Comment: In some countries governments officially take control of the Internet and block sites that promote, for example, pedophilia, etc.

My Response: Of course. If you have a family and small children, would you let them watch obscene programs on television or on the Internet? No. So we need to find some kind of regulator. The problem is how to find it.

Humanity is not inclined to look for something in common; it comes to something involuntarily, for example, an agreement on flights, on corridors for aircraft, and so on.

But in general, this is a big problem, especially with issues related to business. Some kind of moral basis is needed for this, and humanity does not have it.

Today’s parents, in principle, have other things to worry about. Our egoism has grown so much that the Internet does not correspond to what happens in schools. Therefore, I am in favor of reaching an international agreement, an international restriction.

Man is an animal, and the most terrible, ugly, and egoistic one on top of that! If we allow everything, it is not freedom, but a perversion that turns our life into such a swamp from which we would not get out! We would drown there. Therefore, we need to restrict ourselves so that we are at least in such a state from which we could initially go further, think of something, and choose some kind of middle line.

Our egoistic nature crushes us and pulls us to the very bottom. The popularity of porn sites is above everything else. This shows who we are!

I am not going to enforce anything, but it should be very limited and properly considered. I am not a hypocrite, but it must not be like that.

We will have to do something anyway. I am in favor of creating an international organization to control the Internet in which there would be representatives of all countries. This is the correct approach.

Comment: A person by nature can adapt to different conditions. For example, by mastering space, he can annul his “I” and adapt to this environment. But as soon as it concerns the laws of nature that we do not perceive, he immediately begins to turn on his “I,” with things such as “there is no evidence, there is no logic.”

My Response: Because we think with our bellies and not with our brains. What is good for us is true. Feelings turn on instead of reason, and our feelings are egoistic. That is why we live, act, and decide this way.

This is a huge problem that should be solved in the near future anyway. Either there will be great suffering that will teach us, or we will start listening to what Kabbalah science says, and then the suffering will gradually decrease, and we will begin to receive information through the head, and not through the skin—one of two things.

And how we will move forward: either with the most terrible suffering, when maybe a couple of million people will be left from all of humanity, or “with a song to happiness” – it depends on us.

The world has become so small that everything is close. Wherever you go, the same hotels and the same things are everywhere: squares, towers, houses—anything else except maybe museums.

I think everything is advancing toward the fact that tourism will drop. Firstly, because there is a crisis, there is no money.

Secondly because everything is on the Internet. You can also take a walk near your home. It seems to me that all this will change. We have built a huge number of hotels. I’ve been thinking for a long time: what will become of all this? Everything will be empty.

Question: But is tourism, in fact, the pursuit of various states?

Answer: Yes. Man has already developed and he goes deep into himself. Now tourism will become more domestic. I think that people will be attracted by internal changes in themselves, changes in internal states, instead of external ones like flying somewhere, walking around a city in groups, or watching something.

People will be more attracted by the journey inside themselves. This is interesting tourism.

I hope that humanity will be able to realize the problem of its incongruity with nature very quickly. I see from the articles published on the Internet today that people are beginning to understand this.

It is still a long way for them to hear what I am saying to them; it is not easy. But they are already riding this wave. My voice does not reach them yet, but they are already somewhere out there in the distance.

I am already noticing them. They are getting closer. Maybe I will live to a point when we can really seriously talk not only about how to get out of the current state, but how to build a new one and quickly, easily reach the degree of Man.

This degree does not apply to Earth at all! It starts on Earth from our animal body, but it has nothing to do with a new world. Man ends up in the upper world, outside our universe where a spark of light broke into the material world and created it.

Through that hole through which the spark of light came to us, we need to jump back out. Then we will look at our world from afar and see: “It turns out, this was our mother! We were born and went out into that upper world!”

Question: There is a parable in which a husband and wife move to live in a new apartment. Early one morning the wife looks out the window and sees a neighbor hanging laundry. She says to her husband: “Our neighbor is a very bad housewife. Look at how dirty her clothes are.” The husband does not pay attention and is silent. Every day she looks out the window, sees her neighbor and says, “Oh, what a slob!” Suddenly one day she looks out the window in the morning, and sees the neighbor hanging clean clothes. She says to her husband: “You see, this slob has finally learned how to wash.” “No,” says the husband, “I just got up early today and washed our window.”

This seems to be our whole life. We look at the world through our dirty window, and badmouth other people.

Please tell me why we don’t notice that the window is dirty, but instead we criticize others?

Answer: It is more enjoyable for us to see what is happening at the neighbors. That is why we don’t see what’s happening at our place.

Question: Am I afraid to look into myself?

Answer: You can’t.

Question: So I keep seeing that there is dirt everywhere else. And do I have to clean it?

Answer: Yes.

Question: At what point do we notice that the window is dirty? How will we be led to the fact that this is our dirty window?

Answer: If there is no husband, you won’t notice.

Comment: This is the root of all troubles and wars, and we want to change the world, and we want to change others. This little parable is our whole life.

My Response: Yes.

Question: Who do you call a husband in relation to us, for example?

Answer: Someone from the side, someone serious who is on the same level with you or even maybe a little higher who can point you to understand the reason the world is dirty; it is dirty in you.

Question: Who can do this? Who is the husband who will clear the window for us so we will see that it was all about us?

Answer: The husband is the one who can rise above the female essence.

Question: Are we the female essence? In general, is all of humanity a woman?

Answer: Women, yes.

Question: Can we say that we are a woman, and our husband is the Creator?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Which means until the Creator wipes the window and says “Look, it’s all about you!” will nothing move? Are we going to solve problems at the ground level, kill others, or torture and torment them?

Answer: Yes. And then we justify ourselves.

Comment: That’s a very pessimistic end to the story.

My Response: This is our whole history.

Comment: I have to see that it’s all about me. We talk about it all the time.

My Response: It doesn’t matter. Even if you were to see and hear, you still wouldn’t want to see it.

Question: Won’t I request it anyway? So where is this gear shift after all? Where? How?

Answer: It will come from above.

Question: The fact that this egoism is in me, does it prevent me from seeing others and that all the dirt, all this dirty laundry, is in me?

Answer: Yes.

Question: It can only be from above, you say. Why do you keep saying that you need to love your neighbor?

Answer: These are the commandments. We must do this in order to correspond with the laws of nature. How to do it? When we are convinced today that otherwise we will not withstand, that we will not survive, then what is left for us?

Question: So do we have to be on the verge of life and death? And then we will begin to understand that we need to treat each other with love?

Answer: You see how simple it is. 🙂

Question: But there is only one moment that we have to be brought to the edge; that is what is scary?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And what about our reason?

Answer: Reason will not help. We do not live by reason, but only by our feelings.

Question: Then the human boundary is not necessarily between life and death, is it? It may be emptiness; it may be depression or some kind of inner cry?

Answer: But this boundary is when one feels hopelessness. And then he begins to realize that it is all about him.

Question: Does the Creator give us this understanding?

Answer: Yes. Or if some group of humanity will take on watering everything with love, watering the whole humanity with love.

Question: Are you saying that we need an example?

Answer: Yes.

Question: The great Kabbalist Baal HaSulam wrote about the last generation. These were his deathbed notes. After all the incomprehensible things he wrote in his Kabbalistic works, he suddenly wrote understandable notes called “The Last Generation.” There he wrote that a group of people should appear who will take on this law of “love your neighbor” and begin to live by it and spread it all over the world.

Do you think that this is not fiction or idealism?

Answer: Time does its own thing. I think that after all humanity will agree, out of desperation to accept this principle of a new life.
