Comment: You are always saying that the connection should be kind, from the level of love.

My Response: There should be mutual complementing in society of everyone to everyone to such an extent that everyone could express themselves and everyone would perceive it correctly.

Nothing else. No one forces you to be like everyone else, to throw everyone into the same pot, to arrange some kind of public catering for everyone. Everyone is not equal to everyone, and everyone does everything to be like everyone else in the public product.

Question: You are always saying that we are under an influence of the upper force of nature, which then forms us. How will it feel about this?

Answer: Nature does not want to see that we are all thrown into the same pot. By no means. This is why it makes us different from each other. We all are so different in a thousand parameters. Nature does not want us to be exactly the same.

This is why we need to be exactly like that. Everyone distinguishes himself and should show all his best qualities and display them before society. Society is happy with such people, it should encourage them. They complement each other in this way, and society becomes richer.

Question: Should my individuality and the individuality of everyone be for society or not?

Answer: I think it cannot be otherwise. What else can it be used for? We are in an age when everything we do is very individual, and on the other hand, dissolves into everything else that is being done.

If I used to be able to do something, and it was mine from beginning to end, today I cannot make a screw if it does not pass twenty hands, and besides me, there will be many ideas and forces invested.

Comment: Components come from all over the world for this screw. This is today’s world.

My Response: This is today’s world, and therefore, we must understand ourselves and society in this way. The most important thing is how we embed ourselves in connection with others.

This world will be built anyway. By trial and error.

Comment: But in order for it not to go through such suffering…

My Response: People will learn. How else can it be done? You can see in little children how they are gradually learning, and suffer less, and fall less, and less of something else. This is how a person grows.

What can you do? Nature does not allow a little child to lift some huge weight or do something else, only in accordance with his capabilities so that he does not harm others and develops. It is the same with us.

Question: Suppose some acute situation arises somewhere nearby, in a city, in a country and then all over the world. To which of them should I direct my attention first? I can watch the news in a purely detached way: “Oh, well, yes. They are blowing up there, they are shooting there. Well, it’s bad for them.”

Answer: The world appears as one single whole, but at the same time you see the clear hand of the Creator, which leads all souls to correction. If, for the sake of this correction, it is necessary that today, for example, one hundred million people perish in the world in a single day, then they will perish.

In our time, somewhere there is some kind of accident and it is there already. But earlier, let’s say, two or three thousand years ago, the soldiers of King David engaged in hand-to-hand combat. There was nothing else: either I strike you or you strike me. When leaving for the war, men gave a divorce to their wife in advance, so that later she could get married.

How else can it be? I am faced one on one with the enemy or maybe even with not one but with several who attack me. And what did they fight with: shield and sword, spear or mace, stone throwers or slings. So during the war, tens of thousands of people would die a day.

Therefore, when you look at what is happening in the world, you begin to justify everything that is happening because at the same time you see how the calculation is done not with bodies, but with souls. This is first.

Secondly, it is not possible to correct them otherwise. This is the best, optimal method for them to get closer to the spiritual because at the moment they are not able to respond to challenges to correct themselves.

But when people are already close to correcting themselves and not falling under the millstones, under the firm pressing force of development, then it’s really a pity. When they have freewill, then it’s a pity. And what will you do? As it turns out.

Humanity has already passed through various social formations in the process of its development: capitalism, socialism, etc. It has yet to come to the state of the modern world where it is clear to everyone that some more developed form of society is needed, but it is unclear where to go further and how.

We have stopped at a point where even with all the technological progress, we will not be able to live better because our egoistic relationships will poison our whole life. We have reached the red line where it is becoming obvious that the current form of interpersonal communication within society does not correspond at all to the high level of technology, culture, and education.

Therefore, internal pressure is growing within society itself, and it requires change. We see that in all countries of the world, in varying degrees, there is an urgent need to change relations between people because they contradict the form of our life, communication, and technological stage of development.

You need to understand that the next change will not happen at the expense of wars; they will not help. We have already seen this with the example of the last war. It is necessary to change people, not some external framework around them. If we do not change the person himself, then we have no hope for a peaceful and happy life.

If a person remains egoistic, he will be able to work only under coercion. Therefore, the only way out is to give each person a sense of his connection with the purpose of society and belonging so that he feels like an inseparable part of his country and people.

A person should receive inner, spiritual fulfillment from his work, that is, satisfaction from his connection with everyone and from the fact that he receives a reward from above and not a material reward in his egoism. He will feel that this raises him closer to the Creator and gives him spiritual fulfillment.

This is possible only through proper education. This is the main problem of the world. Everyone will have to sit down at their desks and study again, not just listen to the teacher, but practically implement this science of connection among themselves.

Why Does A Person Need To Be Educated?

Integral education is a system of knowledge, skills, and exercises that form connections between people in accordance with the upper governing structure, which, like a network, begins to unfold in our world. Our incongruity with this network manifests itself in us as all kinds of crises, from small, private, to universal, global, and including everything within itself.

Integral education should cover all people from above and from below and from the middle of society starting with the elderly and ending with children.

This education should consist of telling people how the world works on a simple level so that they can understand everything; i.e., our world is global, integrated, and manifests itself more and more clearly as one connected system. If the connection between us does not correspond to it, then no matter what we build atop this false connection, which manifests itself by nature, we will always be doomed to failure, bankruptcy, or crisis.

This must be clearly shown to a person. His relations with his household, work colleagues, and with society, and the relations of the whole society, the people, between nations, and the connection of the entire human system with the environment, all this should be global, closed, integral, and unified. This is required of us by nature, which is now manifested in this form and it is the last stage of our development, the rise to the next degree.

Physicists, psychologists, sociologists, and many scientists talk about this, so it’s already very obvious. Therefore, we need to develop a system of integral education and try to implement it wherever possible, and show people how useful it is, that it saves resources, time, health, and improves relationships between people, our way of life, and so on.

Integral education is a practical technique that should be introduced everywhere. Whoever enters it will only win.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult for us to get used to this, because our egoistic society is a society of personal gain.

The officials who are in power want to stay there as long as possible, get as much as possible, and then “after us, even a flood.” Therefore, they slow down the process from above. Meanwhile from below, the lack of money and illiteracy slows it down.

It is impossible to get close to children because they are under the auspices of the Ministry of Education with officials who sit and do not want to explore anything. The same is true in all international organizations, including the UN and UNESCO, which prove that there are people everywhere who are only interested in their need to “live and fare and make good.”

That’s the way the world works and I don’t blame the people who are there. This is one egoistic system that has been developing for hundreds of thousands of years. So there will be serious upheavals before people see the light.

Some people do not like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster (Elon Musk).

My Response: Naturally, either change or a disaster, this is when we will do something.

Question: So should I have a feeling that if I do not change, there will be a catastrophe?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What kind of disaster are we facing that requires me to change myself?

Answer: I do not think a disaster is in front of people and I do not think they really have to change right now. We live in a state where there is nothing catastrophic. This is a state that does not call for me to change.

Question: Is it possible to artificially create such a feeling in humanity that it is moving toward a disaster so it will begin to change?

Answer: It is thanks to the leaders of this world that we are moving.

Question: So, do they in some sense do this kind of work as well?

Answer: Of course, they do. They are the angels of God. They are directing us to the cliff so that we will finally understand that we need to change. But they themselves are doing God’s work. They are representatives of the Creator on earth.

Question: Does the Creator have to lead us to this cliff?

Answer: Yes, so that we fulfill our purpose. And they help Him in this.

Question: What is our purpose?

Answer: Recognition of the evil of human nature. You will see that it is absolutely opposite to the Creator, and you will wish to be as close to Him as possible. Then you will begin to develop spiritually and ascend.

Question: There are different types of connections between people in the world. What is the difference between them and Kabbalistic connection? Why don’t they work the same way as in Kabbalah?

Answer: Because that is not the kind of connection that attracts the upper light.

There are many connections in the world. Various socialist, national socialist, Nazi, communist, collective farms, kibbutzes, and other unions do not attract the upper light, which would correct and elevate people. These connections are located and end at the earthly level.

And for spiritual connection, it is necessary to attract the upper light. Otherwise, all our efforts and attempts will end at the degree of this world. We see how any currents arise, be they fanatical, religious, social, political, or whatever. They flare up and extinguish. Each has its own expiration date. But all of them are slowly forming humanity, which is working out its social resource.

And all these movements, wave after wave, gradually lead humanity to despair. Who believes in any movements today, in new parties? Everyone understands that all this is a corrupt thing, all this is from egoism, all this will end if not today then tomorrow, just wait.

We see that everything is getting old. Even such fundamentalist movements in which billions of people are involved and which feed each other with fanaticism, hatred, and irritate themselves from the inside, still slowly slide off their peak and can’t do anything about it because egoism takes its toll. Its form should be transformed into the final one.

These currents do not understand that the final form is set and they will still be obliged to come to it. So they are not going anywhere! As a result, all their plans will be ruined.

Question: We are, in principle, aware that nature is harmonious. Even at school, we study all kinds of food chains and we see how one is connected to the other. The science of bionics was based on this where I look and seemingly copy what I see in nature.

For example, helicopters were probably created because dragonflies were seen. They saw birds and planes were created; they saw beetles and cars were created.

Why does it all come down to cars turning into tanks and all our scientific achievements, one way or another, go toward armament?

Answer: Because in order to take examples from nature and create them, we need naturalists and scientists who are interested to recreate what is in nature into mechanics.

But then other people come who do not care about nature, and they want to use these mechanics in order to conquer, control, and enforce. And this is the end of all good intentions.

Question: We take something positive from nature, build out of it what is necessary for our life, but all this, one way or another, is then taken away by bad uncles and made into weapons of war. Why?

Answer: Because that is our nature.

Question: Why are we giving it to them? Why do we agree?

Answer: Because they know how to cheat. They are in power, they have an army, strength, and money, they have everything. And such people that are naive and kind who just want to understand how the world works, they have nothing but their brains and weak hands.

Question: Is this the fate of our world? Fate is such that everything, one way or another, will go there?

Answer: Yes. Until we correct human nature.

Question: We started with the fact that nature is harmonious and everyone understands this. Why don’t we draw from the harmony of nature? We copy what it created and create something for ourselves. And why doesn’t something from that harmony enter into us from the basis of nature that is harmonious?

Answer: We cannot keep this harmony. We are not able to detect it, see it, and study it. We cannot imitate it.

Question: Because we are the opposite of it?

Answer: Yes.

Remark: But we get knowledge about it.

Answer: So what if I know that this is how nature works; I cannot abide by it.

Question: And how do we make this into the main thing? First take the harmony of nature, then all the technical inventions.

Answer: And for what? Why should I take some of the laws of nature and its opportunities in order to give to others, in order to spread good? Why do I need this?

Remark: I need to command and rule.

My Response: Oh! To do this, I will study everything, and my egoism will push me and give me all the opportunities.

Question: So this is our nature?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Then why do you always appeal to another nature?

Answer: I want to change a person!

Question: How? After all, that is our nature.

Answer: No, it is possible to change. And then we will really do everything according to nature—the kind, upper nature.

Question: Then we will go to this kind upper nature before we create something?

Answer: Of course. We will first correct ourselves, and only then we will take something from nature and imitate—truly imitate it.

Question: So it is not fantasy to turn your nature around and make it similar to nature?

Answer: Without it, we will not survive, and we will still be obliged to change ourselves.

Comment: You keep saying: “The world has become interconnected.” One way or another, everyone sees it.

My Response: This is to show us that we have nowhere to go.

Question: And this will happen more and more?

Answer: Yes! And you are not getting away! We will see that no wars, no skirmishes, no crimes of man to man will simply be possible to do.

At the same time, you will appear as an enemy of all mankind. You will not be forgiven anything. The world will shrink so much and you will understand that you are hurting everyone, that you will not give yourself this chance. And gradually, gradually, the good forces of nature will change humanity.

We will go through a stage where we will be afraid to break good relationships. This is the first stage.

Question: So, the first stage is the fear from breaking this connection between us?

Answer: Yes, the restriction, this is how it is called in Kabbalah. Restriction of egoism.

Comment: But it is just because of egoism that I am afraid, because of my nature I am afraid.

Answer: Yes, but there is no other way out; I have to restrict it or I will be beaten.

Question: So I cannot join the war because I will be beaten, restricted, I will starve, and so on?

Answer: Of course! It is based on all kinds of negative attitudes toward me. Only in this way!

Question: So, if you are fighting, you are being obstructed. Is that why you stop fighting?

Answer: Yes.

Remark: But you will feel defeated. It is scary.

Answer: No, it does not matter. That is how you will learn.

Since the whole world is in mutual connection, and I am just a small cogwheel in the general system, I am obliged to take care of everyone, and not just in words, but in deeds.

After all, we must rise above all our differences and connect. We are all very different, but it is like a machine where each cogwheel turns at its own speed and in its own direction, but each performs its own special role in order for the machine to work.

The main thing is not to cause damage to one another, but to try together to maintain the work of a common mechanism. This should be the main law of social existence, and this is how we will reach final correction. In the final correction, everyone will be turning in different directions, everyone will be fully expressing themselves relative to everyone, and then this common mechanism will reach the complete connection.

The correction does not mean that one defeats the other in war, but that each one defeats himself in order to connect with others in a nice way and to complete each other. According to this condition, we can see how far we have progressed toward the final correction.

To the extent that every country, every nation, and every person wants to connect with others, to work together day by day on the connection, to cooperate in trade and industry and the exchange of natural resources, that is, to help each other, they will succeed.

Why should we fight if we can provide each other with everything we need by combining forces, means, and resources? War does not bring anything good to anyone. We should fight against war.

Our world is a closed and interconnected system, and it can move forward successfully without wars, troubles, and problems, without hunger and death, all of which are growing more and more. It all depends on good connection between people.

We think that we need connections only for the development of trade and industry. But these are only successes visible to the eye. In fact, through connection we awaken the upper light and it begins to act. As a result, from some small piece of land we can suddenly get a harvest that is enough to feed the whole world. Everything depends on the blessing, on the upper light that blesses our work.

Therefore we must put all our efforts into connection because only connection will bring us a blessing. The entire well-being of the country depends on the relations between people.

Question: You say that everyone has their own purpose. How can Jews see Arabs as an important element; they are not just brothers for them, but enemies as well?

Answer: I do not think this is a serious feud. There can be no great enmity between these religions. I know from the sources that there should be a confrontation. It is said that at the end of the days of the world, at the moment when it begins to improve, the Arabs will be at enmity with the Jews, hate them, hate the entire world, and want to subjugate it.

There is a book in our archive in which the sayings of all the prophets are collected.

The prophets are people who lived mainly at the time of the First Temple, even before the exile to Babylon 2,800 years ago. They wrote the book Prophets (Nevi’im), which together with the Torah and Holy Scriptures (Ktuvim) make up the Tanakh.

The prophets that lived in the period 600-800 years BC, closer to our era, wrote about events that will happen in the future, because, based on the upper structure everything was clear to them. This has been known to all Kabbalists since the time of Abraham, but only the prophets have stated it.

They predicted that there will be a long period of confrontation between Islam and Christianity, they would fight cruelly, but in the end, they would turn against Israel together. Then, oddly enough, they will start wars.

But we are talking about spiritual wars. To what extent they will manifest in the matter of our world is unknown. It depends on us, whether we will need such blows to begin to change ourselves and show the world the way it should be. It also depends on freewill and on the way the Jews will react.

I hope that we are preparing the ground so that this does not happen. Already today we can change the entire world for the better.

Yet, in general, the prophets describe very bad problems that must necessarily happen in the spiritual world. Whether they will happen in corporeality depends on us, to the extent that we will be running ahead of our internal change it will not be needed externally.

According to the thought of creation, to its structure, there should be a confrontation between three lines: the right (Islam), the left (Christianity), and the middle line (Judaism). All of them must change, rise to their spiritual source, and unite there in their one single source. This is Abraham.

Abraham is the upper Partzuf Hesed, that is, the highest detail in the upper scheme, which should correct the entire world, which is the entire former Babylon.

In his time, Abraham was able to correct only one node of the general system of the universe, that is, only a part of Babylon, which left together with him.

After all this perturbation for 4,000 years, Abraham’s group underwent tremendous preparation. The entire world, that is, the entire former Babylon, which has dispersed all over the world, has also undergone very big changes. Now the same force called Abraham, with his disciples, meaning us, can correct and show the world its correct state.

Today it is quite possible to explain and express this since there already is a basis. I believe that over the years of the existence of Bnei Baruch, we have already created it. There may be a few finishing touches missing, but they will always seem to be missing. It is always possible to improve and adapt the methodology for the masses more and more. This is what we are doing.
