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.

Question: The Merriam Webster dictionary has named “gaslighting” as the word of the year. It means the psychological manipulation of a person that makes him doubt the accuracy of his own thoughts or perception of reality and leads to a loss of confidence and to dependence on the manipulator.

They say that in our age of fake news, conspiracy theories, and propaganda, gaslighting has become the main thing. Can we dodge gaslighting, or will it reach us everywhere?

Answer: It depends on the kind of person one is. It depends on the individual. One should have his own serious defense against this, his personal basic worldview.

Question: So one cannot be pushed from this worldview?

Answer: There are, of course, different stages in this matter. But the one who has serious preparation in this can’t be pushed.

Question: What could it be? After all, propaganda and all this gaslighting penetrate into all holes.

Answer: This gaslighting wants to explain to a person that he is controlled. And a person should feel that he controls himself. And here arises the single combat of a person with those who encroach on his independence.

Question: Is this really an encroachment?

Answer: Yes! Big time! This is enslavement. But what will you do? That is the world.

Comment: In principle, we see that almost 90 percent are subject to enslavement.

My Response: And they want it, too!

Question: So a person should resist this, to the point where it is either death or resistance?

Answer: Not to that extent! A person just needs to understand that he can be subjected to such a mental, psychic attack, and that after that he will no longer have freewill. And to avoid this he must build himself.

Question: What kind of core in a person is it that he has to build in himself?

Answer: To do with oneself what others want to do with him. That is, others want to impose on him some kind of their point of view, worldview, or attitude to the world, and he builds it all himself!

Question: So he is ahead of them and builds himself?

Answer: Yes. Moreover, he is so ahead of them that he can fight them. He can put a wall between himself and them. That is what we need to understand.

Question: What does this wall consist of?

Answer: This wall consists of confidence in my own method of building the world in myself the way I want it to be. And that is it.

Question: What kind of wall will hold? What kind of world should I build that can withstand?

Answer: As materialistic as possible, which will resist any attempts to hack this inner world of a person.

Question: Is it possible only for strong people, or is almost everyone capable of this?

Answer: No, I don’t think everyone is capable of this. But in principle, this can be taught and people can be pulled out of dependence, from such a sub-level, slavish state.

Today, absolutely everyone is in a state where they are controlled; thoughts, pictures, points of view, and so on are imposed on them. Humanity is crawling back into the caves.

Comment: There is a very interesting observation. There are millions of views on the Internet about those who have gone somewhere, to some kind of isolated community. Someone has gone to the taiga and has been living there alone for 20 or 30 years. A person leaves on his own, and that’s it, he leaves other people behind. And people watch and write comments like “I wish I could do that.”

My Response: Yes, but it’s not easy.

Comment: This is the wall that one has built. And you propose to do it in the active world.

My Response: Absolutely active, without changing anything—only inside yourself.

Question: How do you do it? Give us some practical advice.

Answer: I built such a wall in myself, as if I shut myself off from the world, from everyone. I live inside myself quietly and alone. No one suspects that I live like this.

Comment: It’s interesting! You have tens and hundreds of thousands of students, and you say, “This is how I live.”

My Response: It doesn’t matter.

Comment: Share a secret…

My Response: The secret is very simple. I am building this world within myself, and therefore even if I am in contradiction with the world that is being imposed on me, I do not feel any particular opposition. This contradiction does not crush me and does not fight with me. I just dismiss it and continue.

Question: Can you at least tell us a little bit about what you have there in that world?

Answer: In that world I am the king. And I serve the great Creator. That is all. It is very simple.

Comment: It’s not simple. But I really want to go to such a world. Is there any advice on how to get into it, into this world?

My Response: Crawl.

Question: How?

Answer: It needs to be built. A person must build it within himself. And when he builds it, he discovers that yes, it can be done, it must be done and it will be forever.

Question: Is it both security and peace?

Answer: It covers absolutely everything! This is the kingdom of the great King.

Question: But is He the King?

Answer: Yes, and you are building for Him.

Question: And then you find yourself in it? So that He rules there?

Answer: In order for me to rule everything for Him.

Question: When Nelson Mandela passed away, the whole world started talking about how much he had done for humanity. This man spent 27 years in prison and did not change his views even under the pressure. He is counted among the ranks of the greatest people.

To what extent is such a person internally sincere?

Answer: Human nature is absolute egoism, shallow, and petty, even among so-called altruists and good citizens.

I think that Nelson Mandela did not spend all these years in prison in vain and that he realized what was happening in his country. His main task was the future of the country. He knew that if there would not be the right combination between different layers of the population and different races, it would be bad for everyone. Therefore, when he was released, he first engaged in balancing these parts of the population, and not by raising hatred of one against the other. This was his merit.

Having reasonably weighed all the pros and cons, he set a course for the unification of society. He did not allow a civil war to develop and hatred to plunge the country into all kinds of problems, provocations, and so on.

This was his great contribution and example for all humanity: it is necessary to rise above everything that was in the past, to cross out everything, and develop only together. I do not idealize his actions, but what happened is indeed rare.

The same had happened in Israel. This is a well-known story. When Israel was recognized as a state, the Arabs immediately invaded its territory. The Israelis had no weapons, one rifle for several people. And then the ship Altalena was sent to help with weapons and reinforcement.

But since there were two parties here, the socialist-communist and another, opposite to it, the party that was stronger then sank this ship with weapons right off the shore. As a result, several people died, but the rest were rescued.

This could have served as a justification for a civil war. But Menachem Begin, the leader of one of the parties, said: “No, we will not take revenge on anyone. We will leave everything as is and we will fight against the common enemy.”

There are such examples in history when a great leader takes a step above his I, above egoism, above taking revenge or putting himself on top.

Such people understand that it is necessary to act for the sake of the higher goal. But this is a rarity in history.

Scientists are struggling in search of new sources of energy. When a nuclear reaction occurs in the Sun or in a laboratory, energy is released that already existed in a latent form and it is just freed as a result of fusion. What is this energy that is hidden between people?

This is the greatest energy. In a nuclear reaction produced in a laboratory, we only split or combine material particles. While working with the energy that exists between people, we receive access to an unlimited source of energy. All this depends only on the relationship between people.

We will inevitably exhaust our ability to extract energy from inanimate, vegetative, or animate raw materials. We will have to add human desire here. This is a completely new approach, which is possible only if we have already mastered the inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels.

The energy of connection between people is unlimited because it belongs to the human level. In this way, we use the forces of nature acting between the Creator and the created beings. At the same time, we do not need to burn raw materials or split atoms. To do this, you do not need to create laboratories, you only need the thought of people who unite and think together about the way to jointly receive energy for the benefit of everyone.

The tank for producing this energy will also be only in thought. This thought, the purpose of creation, the connection of people, and mutual assistance will become an inexhaustible source of energy for us that is capable of providing all our needs.

If there is unity between us, unification in thoughts and desires, mutual help and support, and inner connection, then with our common desire we will come closer to the desire of the upper. In this form we use forces capable of maintaining such a connection between all the particles of matter, which produces energy of a higher level than all types of energy available to our imagination.

It will be the energy of the spiritual level, which appears simply from zero. This energy will give us light, heat, and it will work between us. We will be able to generate this energy with the power of thought alone.

We are talking about extracting from matter the concealed internal energy contained in it, which was placed there by the thought of creation. Then we will no longer need to build any power plants, we will receive energy without any auxiliary means, rather just in thought. It will be such energy that can be used for any purpose.

Even today we do not really understand what electricity is, we just learned how to use it. But here we are talking about the energy of a completely different level. However, the upper governance will not give us access to such super-energy until humanity corrects itself. We can come closer to it only if we want to use it only for the benefit of people.

To the extent that a person can act for the benefit of the other, for the sake of uniting people, he will receive permission to use the energy concealed inside matter. To do this, we need to short-circuit two forces on each other: the upper force of the Creator and the lower force of creation
