Question: How can one overcome fear?

Answer: We can overcome fear only through friendship, by coming closer to others. Otherwise, it will overcome us more and more.

Question: What should one do about panic attacks?

Answer: It is possible to deal with them only if we create small societies in which people will support each other. This is the only way we can get rid of fears, illnesses, insomnia, and absolutely everything that imposes the anxiety of life on us.

Question: A person experiences mood swings and is afraid of everything that happens in his life: “What will happen to me tomorrow?” What kind of society does he need that will help him cope with this?

Answer: He must create a society where everyone would understand the need for friendship, cooperation, mutual support, and security. Otherwise, he will have to learn this for a very long time.

In the end, our relationship deteriorated to such an extent there was only one thing left: to agree that we respect each other extremely (George Bernard Shaw).

My Response: Yes.  🙂 That is all that is left.

Question: How is it possible to bring a relationship to this point and not to blow up, break up, or destroy it, but arrive at mutual respect and the ability to communicate?

Answer: “We respect each other”; that is, we know for sure that we should not stab each other nor get too close, but respect each other at a distance.

Question: Is this called rising above hatred?

Answer: We rise above it; we take our relationship into account. And we understand that we cannot achieve much more for now. But gradually, of course, everything can come back again.

Question: What can we do so that we do not let it happen again? We have a bad relationship, we hate each other. But here it says: “We need to sit down and start respecting each other.”

Answer: Break up and gradually start getting closer, this is what everyone generally advises. But get closer gradually so that I clearly understand the boundaries and so does my partner.

I have to see that they are not trying to hurt me, and I have to show how much I am trying not to hurt them. And then, as we start getting closer, we will feel how close we should get. This depends on inner sensitivity.

Question: Is this a necessary path toward further closeness?

Answer: Of course.

Question: What is achieved as a result? Do we connect somewhat or not?

Answer: We can connect in a way that will be even better than with those we had a good relationship with.

Question: So, from such hatred we can come to such closeness?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this how it happens that from the greatest hatred people come to the greatest closeness?

Answer: That is how it usually goes.

Question: So this is the most important way: break up and start slowly getting closer?

Answer: Yes, it is highly advisable. The whole ancient political superstructure, program, and politics were always conducted this way.

Question: Why do we not hear much about it today?

Answer: We have weapons. That is, everything has been replaced. It used to be that I have a saber and you have a saber; I have a spear and  you have a spear; horses here, horses there. But today, it is all about the number of planes, tanks, missiles, and everything else; therefore, there is nothing to negotiate about.

Question: How can the world come to such everyday simple wisdom? You have just spoken not of higher wisdom, but of our earthly wisdom. Or is it still higher wisdom to operate this way?

Answer: The world has no ideals today. Humanity has no respect for anyone. If before it was the Pope or a special king or someone else, today there is not.

Question: Why are there no ideals left?

Answer: Because force replaces all other considerations.

Question: So, it becomes an ideal for me to be strong?

Answer: Yes, I have a bomb in my pocket and that’s it.

Question: Why is that? We talk all the time about the upper providence, the upper force. Why would it bring the world to such emptiness?

Answer: So that we understand we truly do not have anything at all. We are faced with the need for some real ideals in order to judge and compare ourselves with. In the meantime, there is none of this.

Question: What is, in fact, an ideal?

Answer: In fact, the ideal is, I would say love.

In the age of nuclear power when we can break everything and leave nothing, love is the opposite of it. What else can you do? Nothing. If we could beat each other up and then make up, that is another story. But when we are on the verge of a nuclear conflict, there can only be the opposite of it—love.

That is why I believe, in our days, there is an opportunity to come to such a state, to such a rapprochement called love. Because there is no other way.

In our time, peace is possible for the first time in many millennia! Because I have all sorts of nuclear weapons and so do you. Thus, there is nothing left to do but to put it aside and try to get closer to each other in order to find the benefit.

Question: You have one simple answer: live based on love?

Answer: Yes. As Longfellow, an American poet of the 19^th century wrote: “Bury your war clubs and your weapons… Smoke the calumet together and as brothers live henceforward!” That is what you need.

We are in a state where, after successive exile from Babylon, Egypt, and Persia, we are figuring out the conditions for the ascent to the last degree, meaning the way out of the current global crisis of all mankind.

Now modern global plagues are manifesting in front of all mankind. They have not yet fully manifested, but we are already beginning to be a little aware of them and we feel their approach. Threatening “tsunamis” are coming at us. People are beginning to understand what Pandora’s Box they have opened with their insane, thoughtless egoistic actions.

Today we must put the methodology of Kabbalah into action. I am happy that I have something to do with this, and I can reveal and explain to people what we are obliged to do, what state we are in, what kind of world this is, and what opportunities we have.

I am glad that we can discover this technique within ourselves, like in a laboratory, and then present it to the whole world, show that it is effective, show how to work practically, become an example for all mankind, and return it to a state of upper force, meaning, to the quality of bestowal and love in a kind, quick way, as soon as it’s possible.

Comment: What would you wish for all people in 2023?

My Response: I wish absolute mutual love for all of us. We need nothing else! Love. Just to love each other. For no reason. Just for the fact that we all are people.

Question: Is it possible to live like this, as you just said?

Answer: It is possible.

Question: What do we need to do in order to just love a person and all people?

Answer: We need to understand that in nature there is nothing better than this feeling, this relationship, and all of nature is built on love. Everything that is concealed from us in nature, in the upper nature, is just love.

Question: Can we, if we all would want to, attract the force of nature?

Answer: Yes, nature is waiting only for this. Love is the highest, strongest, and most central feeling and force in nature.

Question: Is it possible to move from hatred to love just like this? Now I clearly hate someone, and suddenly some time passes and we move to love. Can it be or is it a fantasy?

Answer: We can do that. We are in such extreme states that are opposite to this feeling, that we can do it.

It is because we see where we are coming to, where all our efforts and achievements disappear, everything falls out of our hands, and we cannot achieve anything. We are like blind stupid puppies. This is how we live. It is terrible! I have no words!

But if we ask nature to change us, we will receive such a change of forces, feelings, and qualities that we do not even expect, because the Creator is love.

Question: Nowadays everyone has his own opinion and everyone thinks that he should express it. What is a personal opinion and how important is it?

Answer: The fact is that egoism has grown. If a hundred years ago people were more modest and understood the division into themselves and others, into their own class and other classes, into social positions, and social culture, and knew whether they could say no, as well as, where, when, and in what society, now all modern liberalizations have led to a state in which a person believes that he can do everything and everywhere. Freedom!

As a result, having neither knowledge, nor culture, nor any skills, he is like “a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” This is what we see. First of all, such behavior is promoted and demonstrated by the media. What does it take to become a journalist? Nothing. Go and get hired. If you know how to write “well,” then you can immediately join a staff and that is it. And then…

Of course there are top ranking journalists, but they are more like analysts, knowledgeable people with a special mindset. This is already a profession, an internal culture. They may be above politicians. But how many of these are there?

The rest are pencil-pushers. They show young people how to crank out anything that comes to mind. Young people learn how to express themselves from these individuals, and this is how a generation grows. In each generation you can see by what kind of media they have been raised. And these mediums set the tone. If you look into it, the headlines are provocative, but there is nothing in the text.

In general, all these cheap tricks teach people a disdainful attitude to the truth and to how one can express oneself. The main thing is to giggle and laugh at something absolutely empty because that is customary. Everything is based on this.

But these are all signs of a fall. This is how all civilizations gradually died out. We are in the last period of the decline of our egoistic civilization, which includes a lot of different civilizations and periods, both in time and in the division of itself into many simultaneously existing civilizations. Today there are six or seven of them in the world, not to mention how many different stages of human development we have gone through. Today it all is coming to an end.

Question: In the modern world, fast intimate relationships are very common, when people literally without any prerequisites can quickly get together and then separate. What do they gain and what do they lose?

Answer: This is the necessary path of our downfall. We cannot say what people gain or lose in this case, and as this will become clear only at the end of our fall, we will see that we gain nothing by this, that a completely different paradigm of attitude to marriage and family is required, that we lose, and we lose a lot on this.

But such an atmosphere stems from modern culture. Literature, music, cinema; look what is being done! And children grow up on this, they are completely different. They have a different view of the world.

Today, a mother takes her 12 – 13-year-old daughter to a gynecologist, who prescribes birth control pills for her and that’s it. The mother no longer thinks about what is happening to her daughter because she knows that there is no other way. And the daughter easily, without reservation, may talk to her about her problems. She thinks it’s all right and normal. That is, young people have a completely different approach to life, it’s a different culture.

Such is the transitional period, when we left the previous, traditional matriarchy-patriarchy and did not get anywhere in the end; we cut off old ties, but there are not any new ones. This general chaos will haunt us until we begin to feel that without correcting the nature of man, we will not move anywhere.

In the meantime, we will go deeper and deeper into chaos in all areas of human activity: political, social, etc. We have very serious changes in society ahead of us.

Question: Irina writes: “I have not become a mother yet, but I really want to be. I see how mothers bring their children to our classes. I am a dancing teacher myself. I see how the kids are cleanly dressed, how their mothers admire them. And then I see the news, how men, still boys, kill each other. And I do not understand why? Why were there all these classes, clean shirts, matinees, and school? Why? How should one educate, love, and warm a person so that he does not want any wars and would not want to kill anyone?”

Answer: I understand this young girl. But I do not know how to answer her, except for one thing. At the core of human nature is egoism, which brutalizes, kills, and does everything to destroy us. We need to declare war on this egoism. How to do this is the most important thing.

Kabbalah teaches this. Let’s master this science together and destroy egoism. I have nothing more to say except for these compulsory words. But you will learn everything else from our courses, lectures, classes, and books.

Question: Is it possible to do this at the degree of our world with agreements with some kind of economic sanctions?

Answer: That is worthless!

Question: Will humanity be convinced of this?

Answer: Humanity must reveal that its nature, egoism, is evil. And that is why it cannot do anything good, no good will come out of it. So, “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”

Question: So those barbaric wars that happened, are they going to be just as barbaric in future?

Answer: Even more barbaric.

Question: And the fact that man becomes more cultured, more knowledgeable?

Answer: All this will only be to his detriment. This is because egoism invents everything: all sciences, arts, techniques, and technologies.

Question: Does no spirituality enter into man?

Answer: No. Spirituality is love for one’s neighbor without any reason.

Question: And we cannot come to this through technical progress?

Answer: No, of course not.

Question: How will humanity understand this?

Answer: It will understand either through light or through suffering. There are two ways. And now they are beginning to open up to us.

Question: But are they both paths that somehow lead to the same path?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So one can be so long, lengthy, and the second is more direct and clearer?

Answer: Yes. Let’s hope that we will see it all somehow. At least the beginning of it.

Comment: William Shatner, now 91, played Captain Kirk in the hit series Star Trek. Shatner really flew into space a year ago as a tourist, he was 90 years old then. He hoped that this would be an ultimate catharsis, that he would understand the harmony of the universe. Instead he said that he discovered that the beauty isn’t out there, but is down here, with all of us. He said it changed his view of life’s values and that we shouldn’t dream of any flights to Mars, but should dream of uniting people. He discovered that to him to live means to love others, which is the whole harmony of the universe.

Is it necessary to gradually launch all of humanity out there so that they can take a look?

My Response: I do not know. It is he whose eyes opened.

Question: How can a person nowadays, in this difficult time of war, hatred, and so on, get to the opposite?

Answer: Disappointment brings the opposite. We need to reach disappointment with the notion that we can do something with force and hatred. We must get to this.

Question: But the world has always been ruled by money and power. How will we get there if power and money rule this world?

Answer: When we see that we can achieve nothing good, eternal, and kind either with money or by force, then we will begin to search and reveal that everything is attained only through attraction and love.

Question: And this will be the conclusion?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And if there are a huge number of weapons in the world, and a huge amount of money is printed, if this all is here, will we follow this terrible path?

Answer: I think it is already over. I would like to believe.

Question: In light of recent events, Vera writes this short letter: “I would like very much to talk about the Creator, the cosmos, the world, and the inner state of a person, but there is war outside the window.”

How can a person in this situation think about the Creator, about connection, and about peace, when there is war around him?

Answer: It is said very simply: “Do not judge another until you find yourself in his place.” Therefore, I cannot talk about such conditions. Although I was in the army, it was not the same.

Question: When a person is in a state of grief, when a person is in trouble, perhaps not even because of war, how can he cope with it? Give us at least a few steps.

Answer: Just open our books and, in the state he is in, simply read and grasp what is said in Kabbalah.

This will bring a person closer to the truth, correct him, fill him with upper energy, give him greater confidence, disconnect him from corporeal problems that he wants to solve by corporeal methods, and give him the opportunity to think about the way to solve them in real way.

Question: If there is war outside the window or somewhere around there is war, can our books still help a person?

Answer: Naturally. They are the only ones that can help because when a person reads them, he invites, invokes, and attracts upon himself the upper energy, the light of the Creator, and it lifts him up, saves him, shelters him, and protects him.

American scientists have made a breakthrough in the research of the process of controlled thermonuclear fusion. For more than 60 years scientists have been struggling with this problem trying to reproduce in the laboratory the nuclear reaction that naturally occurs on the Sun and other stars.

Thermonuclear fusion is a process directly opposite to nuclear fission, which is used in atomic bomb explosions. If such a synthesis becomes controlled, it will open unique opportunities for creating practically inexhaustible and environmentally friendly energy sources that do not produce harmful emissions of carbon dioxide or radioactive waste.

Experts say that one glass of liquid hydrogen—used as fuel for thermonuclear fusion—can provide a house with energy for several hundred years. It is assumed that poor countries will be able to receive virtually free energy in any quantity.

Of course, if this discovery comes to practical use, it will be a great gift to humanity. However, we have seen many times in the past that such great discoveries do not benefit men. There are many people who earn money by burning oil and gas, and therefore, they are not interested in such a discovery.

They will not want to give humanity such a big gift in the form of an unlimited source of energy. Therefore, I do not think that such a revolution in the energy sector can happen before humanity corrects itself for the benefit of the entire world.

There is no doubt that all suppliers of conventional fossil fuels that produce energy today will obstruct this process by all means.

We can talk about it only after the correction of humanity. But then we will no longer need thermonuclear fusion because we will connect with the source of upper energy, which operates in a completely different way. Then we will have no problem with energy, we will draw it simply from nothing.

There can be no success in the practical use of such a source of super-energy like controlled nuclear fusion until humanity succeeds in connecting with each other correctly.
