Question: The Russian scholar Vladimir Vernadsky came to the doctrine of the “noosphere” at the junction of the First and Second World Wars, which, as he wrote, completely changed his consciousness because he began to analyze the reason why world wars occur and where they lead.

Why did scientists of such magnitude see a new stage in the development of mankind during the times of severe upheavals?

Answer: What else can lead humanity to some changes if not upheavals? Otherwise we won’t wake up.

If a man is a desire to receive, to enjoy, and to be filled, then when I get what I want, I no longer have any needs; I will be content. If a new desire has arisen, I fill it. Otherwise, I have no motivation to move; I will not develop myself.

New desires arise from within me according to some internal program unknown to me. If they automatically get filled from the outside, then I myself do not exist, there is no movement coming from me. A person can be developed only by constantly arousing newer and newer desires in him and, at the same time, not giving him fulfillment so he will look for how to fill himself.

This leads us to progress. Later we reach some kind of impasse and see that we can no longer fill ourselves. This is a characteristic feature of our generation. Hence we see depression, suicide, drug use, and everything else. New desires appear, but nobody knows how to fill them.

Moreover, some desires lie beyond this world. Therefore we begin to relate to our world nihilistically, indifferently, with detachment. We are overwhelmed with desires for something more, to which we see no answers in our world. Where is the source of those pleasures that I desire?

This is how nature pushes us to open the noosphere.

Comment: Today the world has taken on a global dimension, where people feel that they are somehow interconnected.

Kabbalah is called upon to completely change values and priorities and arrange them in such a way that human relations are built on the principle of “love your neighbor as yourself,” mutual support, and so on.

My Response: We have nowhere to get away from it! We will come to this decision anyway. Kabbalah simply gives us the opportunity to do this.

When the so-called G8s, G20s, and not only political or economic forums, but any other public organizations gather, they talk about the need for collaboration.

Today, everyone understands that collaboration is needed, otherwise the world will explode or spread apart.

Question: If everyone understands this, then what does Kabbalah offer that is new?

Answer: Kabbalah is not offering anything. It says: “Friends, you correctly understood that the world is one and we are at the mercy of some common world force that acts centripetally on us, always bringing us closer toward mutual interdependence. From year to year we become more dependent on one another, and more than likely, we can’t even break this connection.”

That fact wouldn’t change if some state wants to separate, withdraw from the world community, or try to provide itself with some kind of subsistence economy and thus isolate itself from others. It won’t help.

Today, all states, all people on Earth are connected from within by nature itself with some invisible ties so that they are not able to isolate themselves in any way. Scientists, political scientists, and sociologists talk about this, and everyone understands this very well.

The only thing that no one has is the strength or knows how to come to this unification, or where to get the power that is opposite to our egoism that is trying to separate us, tear us apart, and directs us to suppress each other.

How can we make sure that instead of this centrifugal force, we would reveal the centripetal force?

Comment: But people don’t feel this connection.

My Response: We are not talking about an ordinary person. We are talking about people who are managing the state, society, and technological development. They understand what the world is coming to, that today no country can separate from each other because we are small parts of nature.

Nature has brought us to a state in which we are interconnected. And we cannot break this mutual connection.

Question: Today’s children are not taught correct relationships in schools. How will we come to this?

Answer: Through the blows of fate and very serious blows at that. Nature will not forgive our separation, not according to any principle whether national, religious, social, political, or economic—no matter which.

No separation! Neither into classes, nor into sectors, nor into borders; nature today will not stand it. Any of our separation, division, or rationing will be met by nature with the opposing forces. Such a society will feel its complete failure.

The ever quickening advances of science made possible by the success of the Human Genome Project will also soon let us see the essences of mental disease. Only after we understand them at the genetic level can we rationally seek out appropriate therapies for such illnesses as schizophrenia and bipolar disease.

Knowing “why” (an idea) is more important than learning “what” (the fact) (James D. Watson).

Comment: Scientists cannot explain how or why these changes occur.

My Response: But there are things that we can really change in ourselves by making some rearrangements in the genes. It is just the inner part of our body; its higher level is where information about it is encoded. It is not beyond our reach. It is in our power to change things there because it is an egoistic part of our existence.

Imagine such a tool as a man has been created, in his animal body, with his own characteristics. It contains certain information and some kind of program of existence and development. We get access to this program because we have already developed to a certain degree and can tap into this block within us, either to do something with good intentions or, as usually happens, with bad ones.

A while back we gained access to primitive weapons, then to firearms, then to the atomic bomb. We can use them either for harm or for good. It’s the same here. We have two ways before us: either to act for the benefit of humanity or to harm it. So it will be until people come to their senses.

But it’s all a matter of technology! I don’t see anything out of reach here. We will be able to somewhat understand the causes of certain diseases and psychological and psychotic disorders.

But of course this will not solve our problem as humanity, nor the problem of our existence or the meaning of life. It is just in charge of our body.

Question: Scientists are very concerned that the magnetic poles are reversing. They say such a reversal could create “pronounced climate change” and that terrible cataclysms and changes await our planet.

Why is this happening? Is there any explanation for this from the point of view of Kabbalah science?

Answer: From the point of view of Kabbalah, I have not found an explanation for this, although I have been hearing about it for a long time. I am in contact with many scientists and am interested in all the changes they observe and what statistics they generate.

I am trying to find a correlation between what all kinds of observations with the naked eye of nature say and what is described in Kabbalistic sources and can be observed by Kabbalists.

Naturally, we expect all kinds of troubles from nature because we do not match it. Our well-being depends on how similar we are to it.

Let’s say my existence is set in a certain range of temperatures. In the range from plus 15 Celsius to plus 25 – 30, I can exist as a Neanderthal, as a naked person. In other cases, if I, for example, go under water or go up into space, I have to use special clothes, additional devices to adapt to temperature and pressure.

Humans are very weak beings. Nature affects us with all sorts of parameters, including ones that are unknown, imperceptible, and unconscious to us.

To date, we know about several thousand parameters that must be maintained in some kind of homeostasis and equilibrium with the surrounding nature or within our system, which is under the influence of the environment.

A person is a very subtle, dynamic, delicate system. Any change in one direction or another entails a change in other parameters and in other systems. This causes an imbalance.

What does blood pressure, high blood sugar, and all kinds of health problems mean? This is practically an imbalance of the system. It must be in balance, which is achieved by internal self-regulation and balance with the environment.

The problem is that we have learned to achieve this balance artificially. We invent all kinds of devices that help us not pay attention to external temperature, pressure, or any natural phenomena: thunder, lightning, whatever.

We are not interested in this. We have put ourselves in some kind of cocoon and we can, as it seems to us, do whatever we want. It turns out that for thousands of years we have always surrounded ourselves with such a cocoon, constantly improving it in order to be less dependent on nature. And at the same time, we ourselves became increasingly opposed to it in our cultural, moral, technical, and social development.

Now we are revealing that nature is interconnected, global, integral, built on cooperation, concessions, love, balance, on the connection of all its systems, all parts. And we don’t pay attention to it. We are the masters of nature, we are above it, and we are higher than it.

It turns out that we have reached some kind of milestone, crossed this Rubicon and are in opposition with nature when our imbalance with it is revealed in some explosive way. Moreover, it is revealed to such an extent that we are not able to block it with any artificial systems.

Comment: I think we have already come to the point where nature shows us that we cannot go against it, no matter how much we defend ourselves and no matter how hard we try to do it.

My Response: Yes, but at the same time we don’t know what to do next. We do not realize that, in principle, we ourselves cause all these imbalances.

Question: Why is it that young people organize various kinds of demonstrations in different countries around the world? Is there a reason for this?

Answer: This is a sign of the time. This is time challenging the society of human civilization.

We all develop according to a given program. Specific informational data and informational genes are realized within us that cause certain formations, social, political, and technological changes. All this is interconnected.

As a result, it turns out that, whether we want it or not, we are rolling toward a certain, very special state that was predicted by Kabbalah several thousand years ago: humanity will come to realize the evil of its nature, its egoism.

Our nature itself is such that it spoils everything. Man is the only harmful creature in nature. This is the element that brings harm, error into the whole of nature. I mean error from the word “sin.”

Until humanity realizes this, it will not be able to get out of this state. But there will be a way out.

The only problem is that the way out will be gentle, conscious, with the understanding that there is another dimension, another existence, another paradigm, or there is seemingly no way out, and then we will start killing each other in rage, misunderstanding, or despair as if it would be better for anyone.

Everything develops exactly according to the dialectic predicted in Kabbalah.

Question: If today problems are not a single country’s alone but global problems of the whole world, what should the world be like? What should its government be like?

Answer: The world must realize its egoistic nature and that it can no longer remain in it. Recently, our development shows that humanity has outlived itself. The former paradigm of relating to oneself, the world, life, or the goal is over.

There is a completely new paradigm, and people demand it from within themselves. Depression, suicide, drug abuse, detachment, indifference to life—all suggest that we have reached a different state. We have to find what to live for.

Here the science of Kabbalah is revealed, whose origins come from ancient Babylon when we were one small humanity. It was then that it was revealed for the first time and we were warned: “Five thousand years later, you will still come to the same state and feel the need for Me.”

Kabbalistic methodology can raise a person to another level of existence, pull him out of egoism in which he feels limitations, temporality, lowliness of the world, life and death. We can ascend to another level—an eternal and perfect life.

World history is the history of states; the history of states is the history of wars (Oswald Spengler)

Question: Why are nations and states not the same thing?

Answer: The state is not the people. And although Louis XIV said “I am the state.” this is not so.

The people are the people, i.e., a mass united by some common idea that disintegrates and forms again like a cloud of birds joining and again flying apart in the sky.

Moreover, it is necessary to consider what exactly they have in common. In some ways they can be the nation; in some ways they are absolutely not.

Question: According to Kabbalah, there are 70 peoples of the world or 70 spiritual roots. But in reality, we see that now there are about 200 independent states in the world.

Is peace achieved between peoples or between states? How can we evolve to peace correctly?

Answer: There are a huge number of people, nations, groups, and nationalities in the world. In general, all this is an absolutely broken concept, which has nothing unifying in it.

When people begin to realize their state and want to bring it into something similar to the absolute, then they will compare their nature with the property of absolute connection and absolute love. Such an understanding of the absolute will be identified with the highest form of government.

Then it will be possible to say of the relative absolute that this is a property of bestowal, love, and connection. It will be possible to speak about the levels of nations, groups, and peoples—how close or far each of them is from the property of absolute connection with others, above all contradictions, opposites, and antagonistic properties.

So far we do not even have any instruments for how to approach this, measure it, and offer some kind of table that can be used to calculate the absence of unification and how to come to it. In humanity, this has not yet completely erupted.

Question: Is the process of separation, which is now taking place at completely different levels: peoples, states, economy, politics, relations, still going on?

Answer: Yes, like children playing in a sandbox with absolutely no rules. We just need to study well, at least from a distance, theoretically how much we need to unite.

Question: But we have not yet approached the unification itself either mentally or in our sense?

Answer: Unfortunately, there is no movement toward this yet.

Mutual guarantee means that we completely depend on each other, as if we are sitting in a boat in the middle of the sea at risk of drowning in our egoism and finishing our lives in this way. If we want to reach the shore, we must stick together so that everyone helps the other.

No one will come to our aid from the outside until we help each other ourselves. Therefore, we must feel that we are in the same boat under the threat of dying. Only if we help each other get out of the ocean of common egoism surrounding us from all sides, can we be saved.

Imagine yourself in a boat in the middle of a raging egoistic sea. If we support each other, then the sea, with its inner force (the force of the Creator), will take our boat ashore.

The people of Israel were assembled from representatives of all seventy nations of the world to serve as an example of mutual guarantee for everyone else. This group has become a small kernel of connection within the entire vast humanity. The whole history of humanity forces the people of Israel to disperse around the globe in order to convey this message to humanity through philosophy, science, and most importantly, religion.

We are yet to reveal that only this force operates in the world and controls it from the center of reality. Now we are approaching the final stage of this development; it depends only on us whether we will reach it the easy way or through great suffering, problems, and wars.

The entirety of humanity has reached a state when it is ready to listen to the issue of mutual guarantee. Every day we feel more and more how connected we are with each other, so much so that it is impossible to separate us. All nations, countries, and governments are trying to somehow single out and isolate themselves, but nothing will work. We only plunge ourselves into suffering, through which we will understand more clearly that we are tightly connected and can achieve success only through mutual guarantee.

Otherwise, the world will not calm down. It will experience wars and difficult scrutiny. Someday, however, after many years of suffering and problems, we will realize that everyone depends on everyone, and there is no other force capable of governing us except the force of mutual guarantee.

All of humanity is in one small boat in the middle of a big raging sea. If we do not recognize our mutual responsibility, we will plunge ourselves into great troubles. Of course, in the end, we will decide that we are obliged to be in mutual guarantee.

Today, no country in the world can exist without connection with other countries. And it would be desirable for these connections to be positive. After all, bad connection causes troubles to others, and boomerangs back to you. Only through some human, normal agreements is it possible to come to peace.

Thus, we will learn that only mutual care and mutual guarantee can lead us to a good life. Then we will discover that there is another goal—to acknowledge the global force that operates in the world. It is impossible to govern the world without knowing this basic law of loving one’s neighbor as oneself.

This is no longer a simple caring for each other, but complete rejection of the egoistic approach. Instead of foreign ministers helping each country take care of itself, there will be other ministers taking care of the connection between everyone and its mutuality. After all, we will not be able to exist otherwise.

This will lead us to the need to study the laws of mutual guarantee, that is, the laws of the true reality. We live at a time when for the first time the world feels its integral dependence, interconnectedness, and therefore, responsibility to each other. No one has the right to do what he wants, regardless of others. After all, we see what this leads to. Everyone has to take the entire world into account.

This is how we come closer to the truth, which is not found in any country, in any government, or in any person. The truth is above us, and it lies in the good connection from each person to all people.

Comment: There have been entire nations in history that disappeared from the face of the earth. But this was preceded by the fact that they always conquered and subjugated other nations. And after that, after some time had passed they themselves disappeared.

My Response: This is a natural process that is absolutely and clearly repeated in nature. Ask any history teacher and he will tell you that these laws are constantly repeated in history. If you come to someone and want to absorb his nation, in the end it absorbs you because nature resists violence.

Wherever we go against its laws, we can never win. As a result and maybe after several generations, the defeated survive and still become winners.

Question: What happens to the nations that disappear from the face of the earth?

Answer: Nothing disappears but just passes from one form to another.

In general it isn’t worth talking about nations because there is no such thing. We are the ones who artificially divide the nations.

Nations are divided into 70 parts according to 70 spiritual roots. But all the same, they come from the same root and therefore, in the end we will rise to this spiritual root and gradually, as academician Vernadsky said, “All this will come to connection.”
