Nature Has Begun to Remove Its Protective Screen, Part 4

761.3Nature protects us by creating a restriction, that is, our impact on nature manifests itself only to the extent of our inner development. As a merciful judge assigning punishment, it takes into account, not only the crimes, but also our ability to understand and realize them.

Nature, as it were, filters our negative influences and gradually reduces them billions of times. As a result, we exert only the slightest influence on nature and in a certain form only in order to learn from it and understand that we actually influence it.

First of all, man must take an integral part in nature at the human level, that is, in relation to one’s fellow human beings, each of whom must understand that they all are one body. A person must ensure one’s correction and not hope that simply protecting the environment (the inanimate, vegetative, and animate) will help him or her. This is the most fundamental point.

Even if we put all the waste into “recycling,” that is, into secondary usage, and even if we clean up the entire Atlantic Ocean from waste, this will not help us save nature. The integral relationship of man to nature is expressed at the level of thought and desire—this is our main impact on nature.

The law of universal integral connection operates in nature because nature is the Creator! Even if a wolf kills a sheep and eats it, it does so on the orders of nature, which instructs it to kill sick individuals.

If you destroy all the wolves in the forest, all animals will get sick, and the whole forest will die out. In nature, everyone lives for the sake of others. It does so instinctively, without knowing it. The wolf does not know it lives in order to eat sick animals.

But people do not need to eat each other to survive. They harm each other only because of their egoism.

Instead of “protecting” nature on a physical level, from it we need to learn the instinctive right connection in which all parts of nature exist. We need to base human society on the same laws. What animals do in physical actions, we need to examine and fulfill in spiritual actions.

People’s thoughts and desires are projected onto lower levels, as an application to the inanimate, plant and animal worlds. Therefore, we must build a human society in an integral form and treat nature as a general system that we are a part of.

Rather than looking down on nature, or from the side, we must feel that all of nature is the upper force, the Creator, and humanity must become an integral part of it. With our correct participation, the whole of nature will come into balance.

All imbalances in nature are shown to man to bring himself into balance. Then he will see, in his application to nature, how it all returns to balance. Earth will turn into a Garden of Eden, into a perfect system, if man corrects himself.

If we do not do this, nature will ruthlessly teach us, which is what we have recently been seeing.

If Joy is Shared by All

936There is a special phenomenon in the influence of society on a person. If I face a problem together with a large society, it is divided among everyone and I do not feel that I am alone with it. If I were to fall ill with a rare and severe disease, I would be terribly anxious. But if it is an epidemic and everyone around is sick, then it is not as frightening.

The trouble is instantly shared with the entire society where I am simply one among all. Therefore, my fear is no longer the full fear of the problem itself, but it is divided among everyone else, reduced to one millionth. This happens regardless of my desire, because I am connected with others in one system. So, my relative part in the common trouble is only one millionth.

This does not mean that the trouble will not happen to me, it will happen. But the feeling of fear and threat is divided among everyone in the perception of people. To the extent that I am connected with others, I worry less about hardships.

But if joy comes, it does not decrease when shared by all. Because joy is felt together with everyone. Misfortune is felt within oneself, but joy is felt outside, between us. The benevolent force that created the entire world acts on everyone and is not divided. If joy comes, everyone rejoices in full measure.

Moreover, shared joy increases the joy of each one. For example, news comes of victory in a war. That joy is not divided by a million, leaving me with one millionth of happiness. On the contrary, it is multiplied by a million, and I feel joy a million times greater! I go out into the street, see everyone celebrating, and I am filled with happiness, completely differently than if I were alone at home.

The force of unity has a unique, wondrous quality. It divides misfortune among all, while multiplying joy and happiness among all. This follows from the very source of creation, from the fact that we emerged from the point of the Big Bang, from one single force.

Therefore, today we reveal that all of nature is one system. The closer we come to this force, the more we resemble the unified system of nature, the more we gain, and we gain greatly, instead of one millionth, we get one multiplied by a million!

If, through integral education, we learned to use this correctly, we would attain the pinnacle of happiness.

When There Is Nowhere to Run

272I do not believe at all in a positive change in the world. I believe only that humanity will bring itself to such a state, I hope not to the final one, where it will understand that it must change, and seriously.

Question: So are you saying that humanity will change only when it is horrified?

Answer: Yes, it must see its own end.

Question: But you surely have some hope? After all, you are conveying something, one way or another. Many, many people watch you.

Answer: I hope people will see that they are heading toward a quick and inevitable end. And then, perhaps, they will understand that there must be some way out. But they do not see this way out.

Tell people today: “Let’s treat one another well.” And what then?

Comment: For them, this sounds like something childish. And for you it is something very high.

My Response: It is a very high approach, but unfortunately, it sounds unattainable. Although I do not laugh at it, and I understand that, in principle, it must happen. But how much suffering must humanity still endure before it says: “Enough!”?

Question: But one step before the abyss, what thought will suddenly come to humanity or to a person? What thought? One step before the abyss.

Answer: I believe that when people understand that they are losing everything, for example, their children. Something so terrifying that there is nowhere left to run, nowhere to turn away, and they must make a decision.

In such a case, perhaps they will agree to change something. Because change will still come from above, but only when we are ready for it. And readiness, it looks like this: when children and grandchildren are under the threat of death, disappearance, extermination, then we will be able to do something with ourselves.

Comment: I see. But this is a formula where I cannot stop along the way, but must reach that point.

My Response: Yes. We are moving toward this, and we cannot stop.

Comment: So neither my reason nor my logic will work.

My Response: There must be a feeling, the deepest inner feeling, that a dead end is inevitable.

But let us hope that, on one hand, through our dissemination we will accomplish something. And on the other hand, humanity must see its own end and decide.

There must be a way out. Otherwise, our entire existence is meaningless. But how can we make this happen quickly, smoothly, and perhaps even somehow in a controlled manner? That is the problem.

The Balance in Nature Depends Only on Us

707All parts of nature, except the human being, are capable of establishing a special connection between themselves, and through the unique force that arises from their uniting into one body, one desire, they can influence nature with tremendous power. This influence is far greater than that of a hurricane, a tornado, an atomic explosion, a volcanic eruption, or a tsunami.

The positive force of unity that we can generate between us, and with which we can affect nature, is capable of calming all the natural disasters that have been occurring so frequently in recent times, and have been destroying the very foundations of our lives.

Everything depends on whether we finally understand that we are one of nature’s species, one of its levels: still, vegetative, animate, and human. We belong to nature and are included in its mechanism, rather than standing above it. It is precisely we who—through our improper participation in nature—cause all the destruction within it, through our improper participation in nature, through our negative attitude toward one another, and through our unwillingness to connect.

If we begin to unite and take each other into account, we will be able to produce a positive, benevolent force among us that can stop all the blows of nature that are already approaching us. This is how we will bring order to the world, because everything depends on the highest level that humanity is capable of reaching, that is, the level of thought, awareness, and desire.

Therefore I strongly recommend: let us unite, sit together, talk and think about how through our connection we can influence the whole of reality. It is within our power, so let us carry out such an experiment and observe it like in a laboratory. I believe we can learn a great deal from this about how to influence nature and see its reaction.

In light of the disasters that are approaching us, let us become more sensitive to nature and begin treating it as our partner. Nature treats us so harshly, as if a cruel force is acting within it. But in essence, nature wants to awaken us so that we will begin to respond to it correctly.

Let us connect with one another, unite our hearts, and influence nature with the force of goodness. Perhaps then we will see hurricanes, tornadoes, and the frightening blows prepared for us by nature begin to calm.

We are all part of a single mechanism. All of humanity, in essence, belongs to one level of nature’s development: the human level. And we have already discovered that we exist in integral connection with one another. We now understand that we all depend on each other. So let us unite, all of us together, whether we are in Miami, in North Carolina, in Cuba, or in the Dominican Republic.

We must understand that we are one humanity, and we must unite and repent for having brought such powerful blows of nature upon ourselves. This must be done by everyone together, regardless of whether you live far from the places struck by natural disasters—in Australia, in Asia, or in South America, which have not yet felt such catastrophes.

We are all under a common, serious threat to our planet Earth, so let us give our Earth a positive force: the force of love, connection, and mutual bestowal. And this applies to all of humanity, wherever each one of us may be.

In this way we can sweeten the judgments nature places before us and come to a beautiful life. Our small planet will turn into a garden of paradise, a single shared home for all of us. Let us make it kind.

When I see all the natural disasters occurring in the world, I pray that people will understand that they belong to one mechanism. And if this mechanism becomes connected by the force of goodness, it will be able to balance all of nature’s blows and bring much calm, wonderful development, confidence, and satisfaction to our world, to Earth, to human society.

We can attain a miraculous life; it depends only on us! Let us unite and see how exquisitely, sensitively nature responds to our attitude toward each other.

Wishing you success!

I Don’t Tell the Whole Truth

95Comment: An Englishman, Brendon Grimshaw, bought a small uninhabited island in the Seychelles for £8,000. He bred over 100 giant tortoises, which can live only there, and more than 2,000 species of birds. Many times, people attempted to buy the island for more than 50 million dollars. With that money, Brendon could have afforded anything he wished, yet he refused to sell the island. He said: “I don’t want the island to become a luxury playground for the rich. Better that it becomes a national park for everyone.”

My Response: All of this is good. There are people who take pleasure in such things. But what is the meaning?

Question: If one brings joy to others, is that considered meaningful?

Answer: It is the meaning of our life if our life has a meaning.

Comment: But this man wants to bring joy to others, so they can visit and enjoy such a place.

My Response: A good man.

Question: And who, in your view, is truly a good person?

Answer: Someone wise, strong, capable of lifting a human being above the boundary between life and death, so that he may attain the upper force, the Creator. Otherwise, what meaning is there?

Question: So a person must be a tremendous egoist, greater than the whole of humanity, in order to lead others to the goal?

Answer: Yes, all of his other qualities exist precisely in order to include people in this goal.

Question: And how does such a person know that he is leading toward the right goal?

Answer: He must be a special person.

Question: And what is the right goal?

Answer: The right goal is the connection of all people above their egoism, above everything that separates them. All people, this is the total, highest connection of all humanity.

And if this goal truly stands before a person, then we can use it as a “spaceship” and fly anywhere we want, to such an “island” somewhere in the “Pacific Ocean” of the universe, where everything is already prepared for us.

Question: And take not just a small group, but all of humanity?

Answer: Of course.

Question: This must be the goal?

Answer: Precisely this goal of all humanity.

In principle, we can achieve this right here. Why fly somewhere? To some island in the Pacific? Why? We can turn the entire Earth into such an island. Otherwise, look at what is happening. We are already in a state where nothing may remain except a few tiny islands! It is very alarming.

Question: Perhaps that is why Kabbalists have always seemed too sharp, too harsh, too direct to outsiders?

Answer: They have no other mode of expression. They speak the truth and soften it, but even so, to the average person their language seems very harsh. “People don’t speak this way. One should speak gently, democratically, liberally, more about love.”

And what do you say? “If you do not do this, then, unfortunately, you will die. The glaciers will flood you; the sun will scorch you, and so on. You see where you are heading.”

Question: To crises and so on?

Answer: Yes, otherwise, there will be nothing. Nothing! We must clearly understand that a very strict law of nature is before us and it is beginning to enter its true realization. I am frightened for humanity.

Question: So we must bring them out of this state by any means?

Answer: Who could have imagined a year ago that the ecological situation would change so drastically? Ice caps are melting, there are hurricanes, earthquakes, everything, and humanity does not care. It is like in a drunken stupor. “We carry on. We don’t care. We fear nothing.”

Question: You believe that soothing humanity is harmful?

Answer: If I see a sick person before me, and I see that one path leads him directly to the grave, and another will let him live and develop, how can I not say something?

That is why Kabbalists speak correctly and accurately. But even then, only to the extent that people can hear them without shutting their ears.

Question: So they still soften it? Meaning, you also do not tell the whole truth?

Answer: No. I cannot.

Question: Is it important to you that people hear you? Do you think they will?

Answer: I have no choice, I must do this. I have no other option. I live in constant disappointment, on the one hand, and constant tension, striving, and inspiration on the other. You can see both states in me at the same time. And what can you do?

Question: What gives you inspiration given the state of the world today?

Answer: I work. This is my work. And its reward is that there is no reward! No reward at all!

Why do I do it? That is an entirely different story.

Churchill: The Principles of Victory

254.01Comment: Winston Churchill is a symbol of an era—calm, confident, determined, with his ever-present cigar. He was not only a great statesman, but also an artist and writer. His aphorisms are still well known today. It is worth listening to his principles of leadership.

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.

My Response: I do not think we need to sacrifice. It is not sacrifice; it is a rational distribution of strength and destiny when you give everything to the upper governance and, in accordance with it, flow toward it at every moment.

This is not a sacrifice but a very wise, correct, and true decision. Because in this way I lean upon and cleave to the upper governance. What else could there be? Would you suggest that I act according to earthly logic or some philosophy?

Comment: So if I acted for myself, for my ego, that would be a sacrifice: “I sacrifice.” But if I lean on “there is none else besides Him”…

My Response: I believe this is the only choice a person has. And therefore for me it is not a sacrifice, but quite the opposite. To discover that this is how one should act, that is a great gift.

Question: They say: “Relax and enjoy.” Is this in that same realm?

Answer: Yes. Every moment, no matter what happens. You understand how everything is arranged! Everything is for a person’s good—but with this condition.

Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.

My Response: In truth, there are no unfavorable ones. Some are better, some worse, some threatening, some gentle that make you relax.

Question: But from your approach, are all of them favorable?

Answer: All are favorable, all are necessary, all stem from the root of your soul, and each one corresponds to the next moment that you must correct. Therefore you must accept them as proper and necessary, and respond accordingly.

Every moment is right; it is what you need to receive in life.

Question: Do you receive what you are meant to receive?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And is it precisely because you are aligned with the law that only the upper one leads you?

Answer: Yes. You work together with Him, like in a tango.

One ought never to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it… But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.

My Response: You should pay attention to them in order to turn them into prosperity, to see in them the hidden help and love of the Creator.

Question: Even if someone threatens your life?

Answer: It is said: even if a sharp sword rests upon your neck, you must still believe it comes from the Creator’s benevolent intention.

Question: Is that even possible?

Answer: I have not tested it myself. But one can come close. In truth, at that level, I do not know. Yet we have gone through many operations, and I felt even in those moments that it was an expression of love, when we were literally on the edge between life and death. I love such moments.

Comment: That is a great love! I was with you then, so I can appreciate how one can suddenly feel that it is an expression of love.

My Response: That is right.

All the greatest things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom; justice; honour; duty; mercy; hope.

My Response: Cling to them, constantly develop them, raise them, and reevaluate them.

Question: What is the most essential value for you?

Answer: The most essential value for me is to be myself as I am written in the Creator’s book of fates—to realize myself. That is all. Nothing else is given to a person.

Question: In what way to realize yourself?

Answer: It is by transmitting through myself, in the most optimal and complete way, the influence of the Creator upon the world, as each person must do.

I try to do this through myself, to convey to everyone in this world the existence of the Creator, His plan, His attitude, loving and bestowing.

The revelation of the Creator to people in our world is the subject of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right and not to fear to do or say what you believe to be right.

My Response: For that, one must first rise to the level of Bina, the quality of complete bestowal. And from bestowal and love for all, one acts accordingly.

Continuous effort—not strength or intelligence—is the key to unlocking our potential.

My Response: The challenge is to yourself, to no one else. Because besides you, there is only the Creator. You play only on your own side.

Everything that appears before you is a challenge sent to you, and you must lower or elevate yourself to the correct realization of this challenge, since it comes from the Creator.

Comment: For an egoist, “challenge” means to challenge others.

My Response: But there are no others! Whom to challenge? There is only the Creator. This whole worldview is false and deceptive.

Comment: So everything I see, everything that comes to me from the world…

My Response: Everything before you is a play, staged perfectly. And you must play your part correctly, and turn through all the actors to the director Himself.

Question: And through all these actors, is the Creator addressing me?

Answer: Only that.

Question: So that I may turn to Him?

Answer: Yes. And that is all. In this way the whole world becomes an intermediary between you and the Creator. It is that simple—all problems are solved.

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity; the optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.

My Response: Exactly, that is how it is. Regard difficulties as opportunities because all difficulties that arise are opportunities for our egoism to elevate itself to the next level.

We cannot afford—we have no right—to look back. We must look forward.

My Response: That is necessary—otherwise you cannot advance.

Perspective means the complete revelation of the Creator to a person.

Priorities mean making the entire world into the link between me and the Creator, between us. The whole world! This is me, this is Him, and the whole world is between us.

Comment: Beautiful, but not very clear.

My Response: In your attitude toward the world, you must reach a state in which the Creator is revealed to you in the world, in every detail of it. And to each detail you relate accordingly.

Never, never, never give in, in nothing, great or small, large or petty, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

My Response: Be unyielding toward your egoism. You must set yourself so as to be steadfast in the struggle, to rise above your animal nature. In Kabbalah this is called “to make a restriction, a screen, and reflected light.”

There is only one thing worse than fighting with allies, and that is fighting without them.

My Response: A person needs a small surrounding society—people he can rely on, at least somewhat. Because even on himself he cannot rely. But on them, if he builds the relationship correctly, he can.

Such a society is essential because the Creator deliberately pushes him, throws him off balance, and he sometimes needs support.

No case of this kind can be judged apart from its circumstances.

My Response: Naturally, what else to act according to? To rise above the situation also means to act according to it.

Question: So is it very natural?

Answer: Yes, that is the right thing.

You ask, What is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory—victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.

My Response: It is not a wish, but a necessity—to win.

Kabbalah is the science of victory: to conquer oneself, and through oneself all of reality, so that you compel the Creator to reveal Himself within it.

That is victory.

Our Animalistic Prejudices

583.01Comment: Dividing the world into “good-us” and “bad-them” is rooted in human nature and is the source of many conflicts.

Some research found that monkeys judge other members of their own species with the same degree of prejudice as people judge “newcomers”. Monkey populations form various social communities within their species. After migrating to new communities, the monkeys seemed to judge members of their species alien to their community with a degree of prejudice similar to human prejudices of “strangers.”

It seems that the nature of prejudice is older than the history of civilization and culture, and therefore it is impossible to get rid of biased thinking by appealing to human culture! The real reason for intolerance lies outside the problems of cultural (national, religious, political, etc.) differences, but is much deeper, and not a consequence of cultural evolution.

My Response: No problem of society can be solved at our level, but only by rising to the next level of our development, which is possible only through integral education, because it causes the highest energy of development (light, Ohr Makif) from our future level of “man” at our current level of “animal.”

Only an ascent to the next level of our development will rid us of all animal prejudices, and all other attempts to achieve agreement, understanding, or equality are useless. It is better to look at ourselves soberly, friends.

Where Is the School That Raises a Human Being?

962.5Question: Today, children are also taught to share and to give in school, but when they go out into the world, they fall under the influence of different values. What should we add to the existing education system in order to form a human being and not just a specialist?

Answer: A typical contemporary school cannot raise a human being or instill the right attitude toward others because this is possible only through the proper environment (society) that must first be created around the students.

No school in the world sets this as a goal. Students everywhere are taught to achieve formal success in exams, to win competitions, and to step over others. The main goal in life is to succeed and to acquire a profession that will bring the highest income possible.

This was the right approach in a competitive society. But today, we have entered an integral society where the law is: “It is not the strongest who conquers all, it is the one who unites with others who win (along with all).” Therefore the need has arisen to cultivate a new kind of human being, not an adversary of all, but a friend to all.

Raising this kind of person goes against our egoistic nature. Therefore, a special method (the wisdom of Kabbalah) and a means (the force of correction) are required. Otherwise, people will once again distort the idea of unity into a form of “Workers of the world, unite!” and will again try to build socialism or kibbutzes. As long as we act from within our inherent egoism, nothing else will come to mind.

Therefore, education is the fundamental problem of society. Without solving it, society will never rebuild itself as required by nature. And such rebuilding is possible only through the application of Kabbalistic principles.

Nature Will Not Leave Us Alone

272Question: You said that Nature, with a capital “N,” is equivalent to the concept of the Creator. The Gematria (numerical value) of these two Hebrew words is the same. So, we are talking about the Creator, right?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: And you say, if we are good with the Creator, then He will be good with us.

My Response: Naturally. Fulfill His commandments, and you will see how He relates to you in the very same way! The commandments are the laws of Nature.

The laws of Nature are not physics, mathematics, and so on, what we know from science. The laws of Nature relate to the level of a person’s attitude toward the world: how people relate to each other, how a person relates to the still, vegetative, and animate nature, how one relates to the universe, to everything. That is what is meant by a person’s attitude toward the Creator.

In general, this should simply be love, a correct and heartfelt attitude toward everything outside of you.

Comment: So, I already have love for myself, there is no getting away from that.

My Response: That is your egoism.

Question: And love for others, for what is outside of me, are you saying that it doesn’t exist?

Answer: No, of course not.

Question: Or maybe it is insufficient?

Answer: No! It does not exist at all.

Question: How can one come out of oneself and love something around? Are there any steps a person must take? We’re basically talking now about how to resist or stop this war that Nature has declared on us. If possible, please give some concrete advice. How can one come out of oneself and love something outside of myself?

Answer: That’s exactly what “Love your neighbor as yourself” means. That is the main and general commandment of the entire Torah.

Question: When you say “neighbor,” do you mean another person?

Answer: In general, it refers to everything around you. You must develop this love within yourself and start giving it. Not just rationally “love this one a bit more, that one a bit less,” and so on. Love! To love means that your heart tells you how to relate.

Comment: That is exactly the problem. We don’t really understand what it means to love with the heart.

My Response: You have to work on it. It is not like flipping a switch. It is an entire process to love someone outside of yourself.

Question: What does it mean to love?

Answer: To love means to relate to another as to yourself. What could be simpler?

Comment: That’s true. And we can’t make that step.

My Response: No, we don’t even understand how.

Question: So how can we do it then?

Answer: I don’t know. Maybe we should first watch some movie about how a person loves themselves so I can learn from that how I should love others.

Question: Do you mean to copy it?

Answer: Yes. Show me, in some film, how I love myself without any filters. And from that, I will see how I should love others, so that I will always have this example in front of me.

Comment: So, I’m constantly living wanting to receive something sweet, good, warm, kind, heartfelt, that is how I want others to treat me.

My Response: Mainly, you always want to be right.

Question: Do I suddenly have to give that away and say, “You’re right”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: That is serious work. Will Nature calm down then?

Answer: Of course, it will! Because you, the main initiator of all this negativity, will simply remove yourself from the picture. Nature corrects us and leads us precisely to this realization.

Question: Is Nature really like that?

Answer: Yes. Nature responds to us. It gave the world, this Earth, into human hands: “Do as you wish.”

Comment: But in essence, Nature itself is giving, bestowing.

My Response: It is giving and bestowing to the extent that you are giving and bestowing.

Comment: So, you’re putting an equal sign here, if I become like it, everything will be fine.

My Response: A person must come to equivalence with the Creator. That is why Nature will not yield on this.

Question: So, in short, we must correspond to the Creator, is that it?

Answer: Yes. What else?

Question: Only how can we actually do it! Will Nature not calm down until we reach this?

Answer: No! That is exactly what is written: “Rise to the level of the Creator.”

Comment: Understood. But you know, seismologists are already predicting that this won’t stop, that it will keep shaking, shaking, and shaking. Something is happening with the Earth’s core. I won’t go into technical details, but they say more and more places will open up where it will shake seriously. That’s what they’re saying.

My Response: The Creator seems to be playing with our Earth like with a ball.

Question: So, will this continue, as you say, until we make this decision and begin to move toward the Creator?

Answer: Yes.

Question: We just have to make the decision? Is that all that is required of us?

Answer: To agree! To accept means to agree. It is not like at a meeting where they reach a unanimous decision, and then everyone goes home. Here, there must be unanimous agreement among all people to live by the principle “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Question: Can we say that all 613 or 620 commandments are included in this one?

The Debt Will Have to Be Repaid

707A person must understand that they live in a world in which they have no right to anything at all. And if they take something, consume it for themselves for their own sake, then they must pay for it, give it back, repay it, and so on.

Question: And the fact that we break everything, kill, does all that come back to a person like a boomerang? What do you think?

Answer: We will have to pay for all of that on a global scale.

Comment: Remember, Rabbi Akiva said that “the book is open, the hand writes,” and you borrow, as it were, and later you must repay all of it.

My Response: You will have to.

Question: Is that what this is about?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And is it normal to take only what is necessary for survival?

Answer: Only for survival, and if you take only for survival, then you will be able to give it back.

Comment: And it is so, blessed be it.

My Response: Relatively. It is a very complicated matter. After all, nature is closed, integral, perfect. And therefore, our existence within it, in nature, requires that we be really careful and completely dedicated.

Question: How, then, can we achieve harmony with nature?

Answer: Only if we manage to unite with nature and achieve the ability to give in the same measure that we take. Then we will regulate how much to take and how much to give.

Question: But aren’t we, in principle, constantly moving toward that in one way or another?

Answer: I hope that someday we will.

Question: Why haven’t we been given the ability to understand and feel all this? We just take things from nature without concern.

Answer: But we are moving toward it. It is a development, the gradual development of nature from the inanimate onward.

Question: So we must come to the point that I cannot just take everything as I want. And certainly not kill, steal, and so on?

Answer: Of course.
