Question: Is there such a thing as a special opinion in Kabbalah and how can a person use it based on the essence of the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: There is a special opinion in Kabbalah. This is the opinion of the Creator, the opinion of nature, which is characterized by its unshakable, unchangeable, absolute, and eternal laws. No one can change them, there is nothing we can do about them.

If a person understands this, then the only correct and reasonable thing left for him is to maintain himself and everything around him that has freewill so that it comes to the correct balance and correct combination with nature. That is all.

We need to understand that we are in a network of rigid connections. The moment we move away from it, slightly change the angle, and make a minimal phase rotation or change one relative to the other, the transparency immediately changes and there is a blackout.

We need to strive to ensure that all the upper energy passes upon us. Once we can feed on this endless energy, we will not need oil, gas, coal, or any power sources for ourselves, all of them will completely disappear. There will be a completely different technology of life.

But for this, we need to understand the laws of nature and try to comply with them, because in this case, we will be able to receive from it directly everything we want without obscuring ourselves.

The year 2022 was marked by difficult events: war, climate change, protest demonstrations around the world, and much more.

This year has been difficult for humanity, and we enter 2023 with a feeling of complete uncertainty about the future. The one thing that is clear is that we are facing a very difficult period accompanied by high inflation and unrest in different countries.

People do not want to understand each other; countries cannot make peace and stop wars. There are many problems: climate change, epidemics, fires, water and electricity outages. Humanity does not behave correctly, and therefore, with every year our life is falling apart more and more. And in this new year 2023 we will have to realize this.

Unfortunately, humanity has not learned any lessons from the past year; it has not made any attempts to improve and change, but simply continues to sail with the flow of life to where this stream carries it.

I look at the future of humanity very skeptically because we don’t have enough intelligence to work on our mistakes, as at school we worked on mistakes so as not to repeat them again. And therefore, there is concern about how we will move forward. Everyone looks to the future with great uncertainty and does not know what to do with our lives and how to resist our egoism.

It is unclear where to put radioactive waste from nuclear power plants and from weapons, from nuclear bombs. The problem has grown so much that it is already out of our control. Who knows how it might end.

We see that two countries, Russia and Ukraine, are waging a war that has no end in sight. The confrontation is only intensifying; the last thing left is for it to turn into a nuclear war. China demands to expand its zone of influence in the world, and conflicts are growing in other countries. I don’t see a good future for the world ahead.

It looks like we will have to go through the realization of the evil of our nature and answer for all the mistakes made in the past and the ones we are committing today. And after that, we may have hope to come to a good life.

And the main thing that we lack is the heart! We do not have a cordial attitude toward each other, and therefore, unfortunately, we cannot feel someone else’s pain, and we cannot unite to help each other. We burn and destroy natural resources, destroy the globe, and at the same time we cannot have a good life.

To fix everything, we need to change a person, and we do not want to learn this and do not even believe that this is possible. We have not yet come to the realization of evil and do not know what the true cause of such a comprehensive crisis around the world is. The true enemy of man is his egoism. And even if we sometimes admit it, we don’t know how to resist our ego.

Therefore, we still lack a genuine recognition of evil.

We need to rethink our past and draw the right conclusions from it for the future. Everyone already understands that by continuing in the old way, we are burying ourselves. After all, we have neither mind nor heart, our only acquisition is a weapon with which we can destroy the entire globe. And with all this, we are not able to stop and turn to a new path.

Even the upper governance cannot say exactly what our future will be because a person is given freedom of choice. Humanity can determine for itself the way it wants to move forward. Whether he will be good or bad depends on our choice, both today and tomorrow.

Judging by what is happening with humanity regarding the overall process of development, which is bound to lead us to the intended goal, we are facing a difficult period in the coming year 2023.

I hope that we will not reach a world nuclear war, and it seems unlikely to me. But nevertheless, difficult challenges are waiting for us all over the world. And in the end they will lead us to find a true solution and agree to change the relationships between us for the better.

These problems are already visible on the horizon: poor ecology, food shortages, and all kinds of natural disasters. All these problems will be very severe and will manifest themselves on a global scale; therefore, I am not greeting the new year with joy.

It is not just about war, but about the relationships between people. After all, a war can be ended somehow, but to correct human relations requires long study, clarity, the right approach, and a sense of pain that is exacerbated in every person and in all nations and countries.

Only if it becomes obvious to everyone that we have no hope for a better future if we do not get closer to each other, only under this condition will we embark on the path to a good future.

In the new year all the old problems that we already had in 2022 will intensify. After all, we have done nothing to eliminate them. First of all we need to survive this winter of 2022 – 2023, and only then will we see what happens next. There are big problems with drinking water, with food, and with wheat. I really hope that humanity will not destroy products, but will rather come to such a distribution between countries that there is enough for everyone to exist. But so far there is no solution to this.

The coronavirus epidemic is no longer so acute, but other problems will come that are even greater: new epidemics in the world in different forms. After all, if we don’t fix our relationships, then we let all these problems out and let them blow up human society.

It is hard to talk about it, but it looks like we have reached a critical point for our survival. We do not understand how weak man is and that we are in conflict with forces of nature that we cannot resist. Nature will come down on us with even greater force, with such floods and earthquakes that it will be impossible to live on this planet.

The main problems will be from the climate, and this is a difficulty because we cannot stop nature. Relations between warring countries can still be settled somehow. But it is impossible to resist the forces of nature and eliminate natural disasters.

There is only one way to do this—through the correction of relations between people, and we are very far from that. After all, human relationships require the consent of hearts to become closer to each other.

What is required here is not material acquisition, like the purchase of gas or oil, but rather a cordial attitude of one to the other. But we are absolutely not capable of this yet. That is why I look forward with anxiety to the future, which depends entirely on good relations between all people.

We are not able to open our hearts to each other. Everyone’s heart is locked with many locks and does not want to understand that the opening and rapprochement of hearts is the solution to all our troubles. And yet humanity has been given the opportunity to correct itself. We still have a chance. It is not hopeless.

A Forecast For 2022

Today the world is in such a state that it is preoccupied with itself and needs to sort out what is happening with it.

When with every day there are more and more destitute, and in developed countries, when all kinds of groups rise ready to destroy everything and everyone even for unknown and incomprehensible reasons, then the main historical currents and all kinds of ideological streams are being obscured.

Moreover, it happening everywhere and is developing more and more every day. What is happening in every country today is virally transmitted to other countries, which are having corresponding problems.

And it moves not only spontaneously, but also intentionally, with the help of all kinds of technologies. We know that. The world is moving toward a state where problems will be everywhere.

Through them, people will begin to understand each other more. And then it will nevertheless be easier for them to make decisions; everyone has the same disaster, the same problems. Each, based on what he feels inside himself, will understand the other better; otherwise, “the one who is full does not understand the hungry.”

By suffering from the same problems, we will no longer look down on each other, but from on our common problem. And although it is not common, but simply the same for everyone, based on this, we will think of it as a common problem, and this will unite us.

Question: Alexander writes: “There has been no good news at all in recent months. I can see from my family, relatives, and friends how they turn off empathy. They just do not look at anything, do not listen, and do not start conversations if they are dangerous for their peace of mind. And I understand them. A person cannot live in stress all the time. But if we stop worrying and empathizing, what do we become? What are we turning into? What will happen to us, to the world? Please explain.”

Answer: I think the world is beginning to see the light. The world is beginning to realize where it has driven itself or where it has allowed itself to be driven. And I think next year will be a year of real epiphany. The turning point. When even America and especially Europe will change.

Comment: Everyone is awaiting the next year with horror, with great fear.

My Response: On the contrary, I believe that this will be the year of awakening, the realization that there definitely cannot be a nuclear war. And there can be no war at all. We have already seen this, and we are seeing it now. In general, we have reached a good finale.

Question: But Alexander asks about empathy: will we lose it or will we not lose it? What will happen to it, to empathy?

Answer: No empathy is needed. We must just understand that we have to do everything to give the world the right idea of what is good and what is bad. Everyone should realize that no one has the right to raise their hand against each other. No one has the right to threaten with force. That is when we will see the real world.

Question: What feelings will prevail in humanity, in men, in this new world to which you are going? What will a person think about?

Answer: A person will think only about one thing: how to develop in the direction of good, how he can show kindness to everyone.

Comment: I want it so much! And it seems that it is so far away.

My Response: No. They will come to this, of course. We have nowhere to go. But we need to talk about it more. And try to make it come true faster.

Question: But this point of goodness, connection, and so on, can it awaken in a person in whom it did not exist? He, on the contrary, was completely different, he was a hawk. Can this point manifest itself in him?

Answer: He will get this feeling that this is the way humanity should live.

Question: Where does it come from to him—to such a person?

Answer: From the environment. Through the air.

Question: He will wake up one day, there will be a snap, and he will say: “How did I live?”

Answer: Yes. That there is no other way to live. That you can only live by giving, as it is no longer possible to prove to people that you will not achieve anything by “With a stick to happiness.”

Comment: It usually happens like this: when you try to pressure someone, humiliate someone, it comes back to you like a boomerang, and then a person starts to think. But you are saying that it is also possible in a different way. It is possible that there will suddenly be such a revolution in a person.

My Response: I think there is a very strong accumulation of all kinds of negative feelings in humanity, and they should eventually give their result.

Question: Will they change? Will they become the exact opposite?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: God willing!

My Response: We must have hope!

Comment: Irina writes: “Can you explain this law written in the Torah from which, in my opinion, all the troubles come: “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”? She thinks that all troubles come from this.

My Response: I do not think so. How else can you bring people together and give them a proper understanding of their mutual connection?

Comment: Apparently, Irina thinks: “Do not respond.” Do not show that when you were hit, you hit back—an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. So, you hit, and I do not respond.

My Response: You simply misunderstand the nature of man. Because if a person’s nature is egoistic, then only in this way can he be taught.

The world is developing this way for a reason—in continuous wars. People are gradually learning this. I think we are close to realizing that since we are egoists, the absolute law of action and reaction can be applied to us. An eye for an eye. And so we will act until we realize that we do not need an eye or a tooth, but we just need to treat each other correctly.

Question: So “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” leads to the fact that we will abandon this law? Is that what it exists for?

Answer: Yes. Because, in fact, this is the law of absolute nature, the correct nature. The one who takes must give as much and even more in order to learn next time not to hit first, not to harm.

Question: Because he will be afraid that he will be hit back?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And this is a natural law. We went through this as children. I hit someone, someone hits me back, then I understood that next time I would not hit.

You said, “It will lead to another law.” What will this law “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” lead to?

Answer: It is already said in the Bible that people will not raise a sword against people.

Question: And what will be the result?

Answer: Everyone will limit himself to the fact that he will not demand anything from another and will not give anything to another. Everyone will try to find the right solution to any conflict.

Comment: The law of Sodom was “What is mine is mine, what is yours is yours.”

My Response: That is why it did not work.

Comment: You just said something like this: “I will not rise against you, I will not fight with you, what is mine is mine, and what is yours is yours.”

My Response: No, it was not even possible to give to each other there. Meaning, any connection was denied—both bad and good. You have no right to approach anyone else, to give or to take.

Question: Yes. Not even to a beggar—no one. Do not host anyone in your home. You live, and he lives. And there is a gap between us. Was the whole destruction of Sodom because of this?

Answer: It is necessary to teach people that this is also forbidden.

Question: Then what is the correct law that we are coming to? After all these “An eye for an eye,” “What is mine is mine, what is yours is yours,” what is the right law that we will all come to?

Answer: “What is yours is yours, and what is mine is yours.”

Comment: This is a hard rule! Impossible!

I understand; Baal HaSulam, the great Kabbalist, wrote that we will come to such a state that “What is yours is yours, what is mine is yours,” and you believe in it very much. But this is absolute fiction for a person.

My Response: This is the nature of the spiritual degree.

Question: When there is only bestowal and nothing in return?

Answer: Nothing. And I am not asking for anything because the global force of nature called the Creator stands on the fulfillment of this law. If we want it to be fulfilled, then this force, the Creator, will manifest between us. He is just waiting for this desire from us.

Humanity is in such period in history when we are revealing even more clearly that our development was wrong. After all, it was dictated by evil egoistic forces, and therefore was constantly accompanied by wars, conflicts, problems, and fears. Eventually we need to join the force of good.

We have no idea how different such a life is from our current existence. This is the entire essence of the wisdom of Kabbalah; it speaks about the collection of forces available in nature, how we can reveal them, bring them closer to us, come closer to each other through them, and begin to assemble the system as it existed before the shattering of the system of the common soul Adam HaRishon.

In this system, everyone was connected together and understood each other as if they belonged to one body, one mind, and with common desire and intention as one single whole. This is the way the organs in a healthy body exist,  each organ knows what it must do to maintain the life of all other organs.

Therefore, Kabbalists advise us to work in a group in order to gradually feel how mutual support helps us uncover a system called Adam, that is, similar (Domeh) to the Creator, the force of bestowal. We will really feel together as one force with one mind and one feeling in love and unity.

For this purpose we organize Kabbalistic groups through which we try to learn how to exist according to the laws of connection and climb to the second floor of reality.

Then we will reveal the universe in its true form and find out that the universe is much broader and more interconnected than we thought. We get to know the forces of nature by seeing how they permeate this world from end to end. It means, to attain the Creator, the upper force, by rising to His level.

There are two opposite forces in nature and everything depends on how we use them. There is the good force and evil, the force of connection and the force of rejection.

These forces are present at all degrees of nature: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human. We need to learn how to control these forces instead of letting them control us.

Kabbalists tell us about this, and they are the ones who have already revealed the upper degree of reality, the second floor of our existence. Humanity is already completing the first stage of its development under the control of an evil egoistic force. And then, according to the historical process and the forces controlling us, we have to go up to the second floor.

The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches how to climb from the first floor to the second. Kabbalists performed this ascent hundreds of years ago. But then there were only a few of them in each generation, such people who took on themselves the work of changing the relationship between people. Thus they revealed the second force of nature, the force of unity, and wrote us books about it.

We are obliged to move to existence on the second floor, to the realization of the good force between us in the global connection of everyone together. In this way we return to the state that was before the shattering of the system of Adam HaRishon, the first man that was shattered into many parts. There is a part of this Adam in each of us, and we need to connect all these parts back together, which is called becoming like one man with one heart.

It means to return to the existence of the system as Adam, like (Domeh) the Creator. And then we will continue to exist on the second floor of reality, on the degree of connection.

This transition can be made in a good way through the power of unity by awakening it between us. Or we will have to move forward under the influence of an evil force if we do not realize our connection in time with the help of correct, progressive development, from a smaller connection to an increasingly stronger one.

If we do not awaken the good forces of nature for our connection, then they immediately begin to act in an inverse, negative form. And then evil forces are revealed between us, which generates conflicts, wars, as well as internal and external problems in the relationship between us and for everyone individually.

Therefore, a hundred years ago, the wisdom of Kabbalah began to open up to everyone. Kabbalists explain what needs to be done to reveal our next degree, the second floor, in the fastest and best way. Baal HaSulam was the first Kabbalist who widely revealed this technique to everyone; he wrote many books about it, according to which we study.

Comment: In principle, our world is built on connection. Either way, people gather in some kind of enterprise, around some idea, for example, football, etc.

My Response: They connect by an egoistic purpose—to benefit from the connection instead of letting the other win. Like the Mafia or some organization that needs to be strong in order to defeat others.

If the connection is not directed for the sake of good, peace, love, or revelation of the upper state, then it is contraindicated. In any case, it will lead to a bad result, as we saw in the example of the Soviet Union where the idea of unity, brotherhood, equality, and solidarity was emasculated. In the beginning, they were really calling everyone for this, everyone was considered brothers, equals, everyone was united, there was an urge, and it did not matter that everyone earned one hundred and twenty rubles (very little).

This attracted people, and in the West they could not suggest something equal to this, although they received many times more money. But one received five hundred times more, and the other only five, and this difference spoils everything for a person. But when everyone earns one hundred and twenty, then it is better. If only this idea were promoted…

But this requires a spiritual background. Therefore, the lack of proper education when no one understood how to do this gave its result.

In the News (NPR): “A controversial new Japanese government campaign is urging young people to drink more alcohol to boost the economy. It comes as young Japanese people are turning away from drinking. …

“The campaign is dubbed Sake Viva. …  Sake Viva is a contest aimed at 20 and 30-somethings to suggest new ways to make and sell alcoholic beverages.”

My Response: What are they doing it for the sake of money?! Of course, the world already goes to extremes, especially with young people. Alcohol is such that you get used to it and then you cannot live without it. It is like a drug.

Question: Let’s say people have an idea like this. How should they deploy it? You keep saying that our connection—searching for the connection with each other, and so on—will change everything. If an idea came to them to enact a different law so that the law would be about greater connection, would tax revenues and money fall into the cash register of Japan or not? What do you think?

Answer: I do not know if it would be in the form of money; I cannot say. But the situation would become better; everything would improve, not in the form of tax revenues, but in the form of the general state of society, family, and other aspects of life. Of course it would be different.

Question: Basically they are trying to solve some narrow problem. They also have family, fertility, and ecological problems, whatever. You say that there is a law that can balance everything.

Won’t the government and authorities then not have the idea that they need people to drink more?

My Response: The only question is how popular it will be, how much the Japanese will go for it. But such a closed society as Japan could try to do it.

Question: Should they conduct such an experiment on the island? What would humanity see then?

Answer: Humanity would see a huge leap in all areas of life.

Question: Would technology and Japan then be popular all over the world again?

Answer: Everything would go up.

Comment: What is your advice to the Japanese government considering everything that has been said?

My Response: Think about what you are doing. If you drive a people like the Japanese into a new pattern of alcohol consumption, after which drugs and so on will follow since  everything leads to one thing after another, it is impossible to get out of this. Especially with the Japanese character.

Therefore, I strongly advise you: take ancient Jewish wisdom as a basis, which says that only coming closer to each other of members of society will lead the entire society to prosperity and solve absolutely all problems.

Good luck with that!
