Human Dependence on Atmospheric Phenomena

709Comment: They say that in nature there is a kind of convergence of celestial bodies and displacement of orbits.

My Response: Naturally! It really affects us physically with all kinds of problems: solar flares, the earth’s magnetic field, reverse polarity; who knows what can happen here. We depend on it very much.

Basically, our body is a bag of electrolytes in which all kinds of currents wander, so a little drop of pressure, a little dust storm (when sand particles rub against each other then electricity appears) and people go crazy! And if such a reversal occurs or the sun suddenly “sneezes,” then that’s it!

We may suddenly be subjected to such a flick that we ourselves will die out and everything else will remain intact. Such an impact by an electromagnetic wave and that’s it, it could possibly involving a pulse that we won’t be able to withstand. In this regard, we are very sensitive, not protected.

If we continue to thin out the atmosphere, and I don’t mean the air atmosphere but everything that protects us from space, from the sun, and is arranged in an equilibrium (dynamically), if we continue to destroy it, then we face very big problems up to destruction.

After all, our entire biological system is so tied to the environment that we are just stupid creatures who do not understand what we are doing with what we depend on!

Question: But it can be influenced somehow by actions or thoughts?

Answer: We need to change ourselves! Then our actions will change, but first of all we change our thoughts. Ultimately, Integral Education is what we need immediately. It should become our most important occupation.

Case in Point

600.02Over the past 20 to 30 years, amazing changes have taken place in the world! Today, through the Internet and television, you can go anywhere. You could not do it some time ago.

Once, a book I published was bought by a maximum of 1,000 people and there was no way to send it to another country or to acquaint readers with it. One could only dream of speaking on television.

Today, through the Internet, you broadcast yourself almost to the entire world. It all depends on how relevant you are, whether you can attract people, and how much people need you. But in general, everything has changed. It turns out that everything is in your hands, just start working. This is what we are trying to do.

If we take an ordinary, normal average city with a population of 200,000 to 300,000 in the center of the country where absolutely all ranks of society live that are completely opposite in character, employment, income, lifestyle, and culture and show on its example what can be done with the help of integral education, then in a year, or two, or three, you will see what happens.

According to statistical data, we can check how much healthcare will improve; there will be fewer sick people, family problems, injuries at work, road accidents, thefts, murders, and cheating. The level of protection of the population, school performance, etc. will increase. Then people will begin to agree to apply this method and give us the opportunity to act.

How to Deal with Inflation

220The difficult situation in the world, the pandemic, and the war led to a sharp increase in inflation, which has not occurred for many years. Today this subject worries many people who are forced to reduce their spending and change their places of work. The most disturbing thing is that we do not really understand the cause of inflation.

The real reason is not the war between Russia and Ukraine, not the Coronavirus pandemic, which we somehow learned to cope with, and not the vagaries of the weather with extreme heat, extreme cold, and drought, not locust infestations, and not the shortage of oil, gas, or coal. There simply is a cycle according to which the world economy suddenly enters a recession.

Although there are many seemingly objective reasons for this, in fact no one can name one true reason that explains what is happening.

I think that the deep, true reason is that the relationships between people across the globe are absolutely wrong. They completely do not correspond to the state of the world, which has become closed, interconnected, and integral.

We must feel and understand that everyone depends on everyone and build the world economy in a more integrated, interconnected form as a global economy of the world. But we do not do that.

It turns out that we are lagging behind the world, which has become much more integral and connected. Yet we, people, in not only economic, but most importantly, human relations, do not build such a society. This is why such troubles happen to us.

Judging by the problems we are experiencing in human society throughout the world as a whole, as well as in individual countries, and especially because of conflicts between countries, it is clear that we are all egoists. Everyone is not thinking about the common world system, but on the contrary, everyone is thinking about himself without realizing that we are nevertheless dependent on each other.

We Cannot Throw Everyone into the Same Pot

273.02Comment: 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.

Calculation Is Not With Bodies, But With Souls

962.2Question: 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.

The Main Problem of the World Is Education

265Humanity 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.

The System of Integral Education

269Integral 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.

World Leaders Are Leading Us To Disaster

293Some 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.

The Upper Light Is the Guarantor of Spiritual Connection

938.04Question: 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.
