The revelation of Reshimot is accompanied by unpleasant sensations because they reveal our shortcomings. But at the same time, they show us the conditions for clarifying true needs. The growth of the global desire to enjoy and the revelation of the Reshimot from the shattering are the main factors of our awakening.

They awaken all of humanity. Look what huge steps humanity is taking now toward new states. Soon we will see drastic changes in which a clear focus and the right setting for connection, rapprochement, rational consumption, and correction will be clearly noticeable. Otherwise, we simply cannot survive.

The whole of humanity will begin to feel this pressure due to such simple things as problems with oil that are emerging today and with providing energy. Soon there may be a shortage of food, hunger, severe drought, or a new pandemic. So we will find out that we are in one system, we depend on each other, and we must realize this dependence.

And the main thing is to understand that only our connection can generate a force that will affect all negative phenomena and turn them into positive ones. In this way, the virus will oblige us all to look for a cure due to which we will get closer, unite, and thus get closer to connection, to the goal of creation.

It turns out that no phenomenon is revealed to our detriment, but every event, every moment, and every day brings us closer to correction. Therefore, it is necessary to enjoy your life and try to actively engage in this process. The correction of the world depends only on the good connection between us.

Question: The philosopher-enlightener Voltaire described the idea of achieving universal peace as an armed overthrow of rulers because they are not interested in preserving peace. Or it could be done by a revolution from below when enlightened rulers establish peace in the interests of the people or the nation.

Can peace be established either by the forces of the masses or by rulers from above?

Answer: Neither one nor the other. In general, the phrase “peace is established” does not add up. It cannot be.

Peace is born from the awareness of the need to unite opposites through our efforts. We must constantly make these efforts because everything is dynamic, and then there will be peace.

The necessity of peace comes from the realization that all of nature is dynamic and therefore needs unification of all opposites. In such a state they all get the opportunity for maximum development, mutual help, and mutual complementation at the same time. It is most important. If we find these two conditions that can coexist together, then we will achieve peace.

Comment: Scientists from Brazil, Spain, and the UK observed a group of howler monkeys in the forests of Mexico and Costa Rica. These are monkeys that lead a low–activity lifestyle, and the main thing for them is not to move. They are herbivores, they feed on leaves. Yet, they actively play.

Scientists thought: “Why would they waste energy and play?” They conducted experiments and it turned out that monkeys do this to reduce tension and avoid disputes and conflicts. They avoid them with the help of a game.

My Response: This is what we need to learn.

Question: That is, they are at such a level: now we will clash, then we will hate each other—no, we better play. Do you think this is the case?

Answer: This is the way it is. It is very cool and interesting! Many animals have such a game.

Look how much they swim, do something, play all sorts of games—quite serious, dangerous, and risky ones—even in their old age. And all this is in order to replace their conflicts with it.

Question: What is it, if we extrapolate this to humanity? What should humanity decide in this case? What game should we play?

Answer: Anything you want. Just as long as it is a game that would replace all real conflicts.

Question: And still, what kind of game would you guide humanity into?

Answer: I would make it so that humanity would play that it works, earns, builds, and competes. In general, our entire life is just so that we eventually look at it as a game.

Comment: That is, I go to work, I communicate with everyone.

My Response: I compete in everything, check what my neighbor has, what I have, and so on. But it is a game.

Question: What does it give us?

Answer: So that later I could reset the account, return it to zero, and as if start over.

Question: Would that prevent us from serious arguments?

Answer: Yes. We would play our life. “What is our life? A game.” Thus, we should make a game out of it.

Comment: We were told: “You are playing life! You should live for real.” Now it turns out that everything is the other way around, we have to play life. Then I just play all these quarrels and arguments.

My Response: Of course. We would perceive them differently, we would feel everything differently, we would build this game differently.

Question: What do we want to achieve in this game? Is that something we should keep in mind?

Answer: Yes. Not the result of the game itself but what we come to as a result: to the fact that there is an understanding of the meaning of the interaction between us.

Question: What is it?

Answer: The revelation of the forces of nature that twist us like this and lead us into this game.

Question: What if I reveal that I really am inside the law of nature?

Answer: You will see how nature plays with you, and you will really say that our life is a game.

Question: If I see that I am really inside the system—as they say, the matrix—and everything that is happening to me is what this matrix wants, what will it give me?

Answer: It will give you the opportunity to understand what this mechanism you are a participant in is, and what you can do to figure it out and understand it. After all, it exists for some reason. Is it for some upper mind or for you?

Question: And the most important thing is my thoughts to be directed to this?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: You are asked the question: “Please explain how it can be that the pilots who dropped atomic bombs on Japan did not regret what they did until the end of their lives and they lived for 80 to 90 years or more. Despite the fact that they were shown all these horrors, the consequences of the explosion that did not effect military facilities, but innocent people: adults, children, old people. How can a person live with this?”

My Response: First, a person can live with everything. Absolutely with everything! Up to the point that he can kill his own mother and torture anyone, the creatures closest to him. And live to be 90 to 100 years old, and justify himself in everything. Man is a collection of absolutely all evil and all good. And so he can switch in any circumstance from good to evil and from evil to good, and always not understand the other who can blame him for something.

Question: And always justify even the greatest evil that he has done?

Answer: Of course! Moreover, from the bottom of his heart! He will still convince you that he did absolutely the right thing, that maybe he is the only righteous person in the world.

We don’t know ourselves. The absolute good and the absolute evil that is inside of us can change places. It can be varied and different.

Question: So you are saying: the evil that I have committed, the most terrible evil, I can switch in myself?

Answer: And you will consider it an absolute good. After all, you’ve made sure that this is an absolute good.

Question: What should we do about it? How can we turn evil into good? Can this be done?

Answer: As more and more evil is attained, we should correct it for the corresponding good.

Question: That is, in the end, I have to come to the conclusion that the evil is in me?

Answer: This is possible if there is, as they say, a “third surplus.” Meaning, there is evil, there is good, and there is a Creator from whom this quality comes.

Question: Does both good and evil come from Him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So there should be my appeal to the third? My mind and heart are, let’s say, good and evil, and there is a third one. Am I being led to this?

Answer: Of course! You are brought up for, raised for, this.

Question: By being allowed to do all sorts of terrible things?

Answer: Everything. Everything that goes through you.

Question: In order for me to come to this third one, to the Creator?

Answer: Yes. But it takes a lot of states, generations, and so on.

Question: Is it worth it at all?

Answer: You are not asked that. You’re the test subject of a big experiment.

Comment: All of history is paved with blood, wars, suffering and the whole history of mankind, only to come to this third?

My Response: And rejoice, and enjoy, and thank!

Question: That He has done everything the way He did and that brought me to Him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What should my appeal be when I really want to go to Him?

Answer: That you finally attain His wisdom, the perfection of His actions on you. And you justify everything.

Question: Will humanity come to this?

Answer: Of course!

Comment: We see that now it is already moving toward this by leaps and bounds.

My Response: The Creator leads energetically.

Question: We have such a producer and director that it is simply impossible to dodge. Is it because we were moving slowly?

Answer: No, who are we that we can set the speed, vector, and so on.

Question: You don’t put anything on humanity by and large?

Answer: We are small beings who can somehow experience and somehow adapt these experiences in ourselves. Somehow we can compare all this in ourselves and gradually bring it to some actions, proceeding from one to another, and thus establish in ourselves some internal process of attainment, approval, and so on.

Question: But is it such a logical chain?

Answer: Of course.

Question: The Creator and all this is beyond all logic?

Answer: Above all logic is my agreement with Him.

Question: So it’s logical if I don’t have to agree with Him and I agree? Am I being led to this?

Answer: You have no other choice. There is simply no other way to exist.

Question: And when I agree with Him, what happens?

Answer: Then you begin to get closer to Him out of justifying Him. Then you begin to reveal the meaning of His actions on you. It fills you up, it becomes your life. It becomes the current through which you swim and attain Him.

Question: Does this river lead me to peace and love? I want to cling to something like this: peace, love. Does this justification of Him lead there, to this point?

Answer: Yes. It leads you there.

The Virus Of Absolute Love

Comment: Viktor Frankl, physician and psychotherapist, survived inhumane conditions in four different concentration camps including Treblinka, Theresienstadt, and Auschwitz. He and others survived thanks to his theory of how to survive in inhumane conditions.

But the most interesting thing is that he did not try to test it himself, but passed everything on to other people. He did it all for them—how to survive—and a lot of people survived. He wrote about it in several books. Please comment on his points on how to survive in inhumane conditions.

The first point, and this is the main point for him, says: “Those who have a ‘why’ to live, can bear with almost any ‘how’.”

My Response: Why is the goal. And how is already the achievement of the goal.

Question: But how can one slip out from under the weight that has fallen on a person, the hopelessness?

Answer: By always figuring out how to get closer to the goal. And that keeps you going. The goal attracts you, it shapes you, it sets out how to live your life, and every moment of time you know how to use it.

Question: Should these be some kind of intermediate goals?

Answer: This is the ultimate goal, which is being determined every single moment of time.

Comment: The second point: “In inhumane conditions, only those who are looking to the future, who dream of fulfilling their destiny can survive.”

He hits this point all the time.

My Response: Yes, it is natural.

Question: If I am looking to the future, I what? I do not notice what is happening around me?

Answer: No, you look at everything around you as conditions for achieving that goal.

Question: So you are kind of saying that this is what is given to me in order to achieve the goal?

Answer: Yes. And this is all I need in order to formalize the final goal.

Question: So at some point you can even be thankful for the most terrible obstacles?

Answer: Of course. You feel and eventually reveal that everything that happens is just for you to achieve—you, personally—your goal!

Comment: The third point: “No one has the right to commit lawlessness, even the one who suffered from lawlessness, and suffered very cruelly.”

My Response: There is a global law of the universe, and you should therefore treat everyone at a given time as a person who is fulfilling his higher destiny.

Question: Even an enemy?

Answer: Even more so. And then you will do the right thing, survive, and achieve your goal. Meaning, you create it yourself by your correct attitude to everyone: to the enemy, to a friend, to everyone. You shape yourself internally by this, you correct yourself all the time and thus approach the final goal—the kind that you should eventually find.

Question: Is it possible at all?

Answer: This is in general, in other words, our path.

Comment: “Every person is irreplaceable, and his life is unique. And therefore, each person’s task is as unique as his ability to perform this task is unique.”

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this how to look at yourself and other people? Is that the right way to look?

Answer: For each person, yes it is something unique.

Question: So I cannot take one’s life or rape in any way, nothing?

Answer: You cannot do anything.

Question: And what relationships should I be in, in this case, if it is unique? My life and his life are unique.

Answer: You should look at it as if you are in exceptional circumstances in every moment, which you must use according to the rules of absolute cooperation, that is, for the absolute balance of you and the world around you.

Question: And what should you do during war when there are countless victims?

Answer: Even more so. Then those feelings intensify.

Question: So both the person who kills and the person who defends come somehow to this state?

Answer: Not everyone. But if a person thinks about his real true realization, then he comes to the conclusion that every life is unique and individual.

Comment: The following principle: “The meaning of my life is to help others find meaning in theirs.” That is what you usually say.

My Response: This is absolutely ours.

Question: But he was not a Kabbalist, how did he come to this?

Answer: You do not have to be a Kabbalist for this. You just have to be a person who is looking for the essence of life. And then he sees that the essence of life is to reveal the essence of life to other people.

Question: Tell me, when does a person come to this height? Usually a person lives in order to find the meaning of his own life.

Answer: This is how the search for one’s life leads a person to the fact that he sees that he can realize it through the meaning of others’ lives by giving them the meaning of life.

Comment: “Love is the ultimate and highest goal to which man can aspire. The salvation of man is through love and in love.”

My Response: Yes. This refers to love, understanding the essence of nature, which consists in such a connection of all people when they do not feel that they are separated. This emerging sense of community, being in one desire, is the achievement of the goal of life.

This one desire, the connection of all into one desire, this is love.

Comment: “Even the helpless victim of a hopeless situation, facing a fate he cannot change, may rise above himself, may grow beyond himself, and by so doing change himself.”

My Response: When a person stands in front of the absolute, in front of the fact that he cannot change anything, then he understands the need to change himself, that this is the only way to do something, to continue the correct existence in the world in general, in the fact that I change myself. From this moment on, to the following, to the next, and to the next, step by step to live your life in such a way that you change yourself at every moment.

Question: You welcome dead ends, right?

Answer: How can you do without them? If a person does not feel a dead end, then he is not moving forward.

Question: Is a hopeless state a way out for you?

Answer: Yes, it is like a toy car. It bumps into something and starts turning. If it bumps into something again, it has to turn again. And so it searches all the time until it discovers from all the possibilities that there is a way out.

Question: As a result, does a person who moves from a dead end to a dead end necessarily find a way out?

Answer: Certainly. Everything is programmed.

Question: So I, in principle, as a person should sing a hymn to a dead end?

Answer: Of course! This is the strength of our formation.

Comment: But I always want to avoid dead ends. Man wants to avoid them.

My Response: Can you really make the right decision without a dead end?

Comment: It is unlikely.

My Response: Not possible.

Question: What is the right decision that humanity should make today?

Answer: It is the same in all cases—annul yourself.

Comment: “Annul yourself, “this is clear for your students.

My Response: And for the rest, it should become clear.

Question: What do you mean by the word “annul”?

Answer: It means that I do not decide what to do, I do not decide the goal, I do not depict it for myself and then try to achieve it. I can only do one thing: annul myself in front of others so that they achieve their goal.

If my goal is something other than helping others, then I am standing in their way. If I annul myself, then I help them go to their goal. And in the end, everyone should be busy utilizing themselves in this way—helping others achieve their goals.

Question: What happens to my “I”?

Answer: That is when this “I” manifests itself as a general collective in which the upper force of nature is revealed, the only force that exists and guides.

Why Do We Suffer? Part 2

Comment: There is a serious initiative founded called the The Giving Pledge that aims to foster a culture of philanthropy among the world’s wealthiest to tackle the world’s biggest problems. It has more than 230 participants.

Co-founder Bill Gates said, “I’ve always believed that if you’re in a position to help somebody, you should do it.” And that the group founded in 2010 will “continue to learn from each other and find new ways to maximize the positive impact of our philanthropy.” MacKenzie Scott, ex-wife of Amazon’s founder Bezos, pledged half of her fortune of $37 billion to charity as part of The Giving Pledge. What do you think about this initiative?

My Response: Money is not a problem. It’s sad just to see how they spend it. The essence of correcting the world is in changing a person. And they don’t know what a person should be like. They believe that we will make some more systems of care, healthcare, education and everything will be better.

But it won’t be better. On the contrary, by doing so they will invoke negative forces that will prove against all charitable systems that we are still acting incorrectly. And they will teach us harshly.

Any good deed, if it is not done to change the qualities of a person, will only lead to even greater suffering. This is what is meant in the Bible that if we do good deeds without correcting the person himself, then he remains in his hell, inside our supposedly correct, good deeds.

Question: Aren’t you excited that we have such initiatives?

Answer: It would be better if they didn’t do it! It is necessary to direct funds only for education, and special education and not to fill ill heads with something, but precisely with the system of correction of a person, on which the system of correction of the whole world depends.

Question: Meaning, if it does not go to the correction of the person himself, his nature, then it is only for evil?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: You said that it is necessary to understand where this money is going, to which fund.

My Response: In this case, to understand where it is going. But by their nature, by their understanding of the world, their perception of the world, they cannot direct the money correctly. That is why it is said: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” So, unfortunately, it would be better if they didn’t.

Question: How does a billionaire or a millionaire who signs The Giving Pledge feel?

Answer: That’s exactly why they do it! They feel their exclusivity, their uniqueness. They feel like the correctors of the world, the righteous of the world. And the whole world, in principle, should understand, know this, and thank them.

Naturally, half of this amount will be spent on advertising. And the other half will be spent on some goals: healthcare, mother-child, something else. But in the end you will see that the world will not be better, but only worse.

Question: Are these precisely those good intentions?

Answer: Yes. The intentions are good, but in the end we will get even more hell.

Question: What would you give money for? If they collected this decent amount, where would you send this money to in the current state of the world?

Answer: We have something to tell people. It is necessary to open such channels, centers that could convey to each person in his language, at his level, the main idea: “Love your neighbor!” Only in this is the salvation of each and every one. And that’s why there’s nothing else you can do.

So, it is necessary to open such centers, explain from all sides, from the point of view of science, morality, and biology, whatever. And to do it in such a way as to gradually raise people to this level. Let there be awards and  scholarships to educate people, to educate them in this way, to give out all sorts of incentive funds, and so on in order for people to study this and talk about this all the time—anything that is possible, for them to be occupied in this.

Especially now we are approaching a state where several billion people will be unemployed! What will they do? Who will pay them? Let these funds pay, moreover, pay normally, decently. We need this.

Question: Such an approach to “love your neighbor,” even a small step, a thought, is this the beginning of a person’s change?

Answer: Yes. But this is only if we create such scholarships and opportunities for people to study, write about, and discuss it, to fill in all the sites with this, all the connections, and make it very popular on the Internet, on television, everywhere.

Question: Is that the only thing you need to give money for?

Answer: Yes, only for this.

Question: Modern trade is set up to enable us to profit as much money from others as possible. But in the past, everything was based on trust, goods were provided and the money was paid later. What is the point of the new form of trade?

Answer: Trading is not about deceiving another. This is already robbery. Any trade involves a lack of a product somewhere, which I bring and sell because people there need it. What is deceitful about this? Just as all the organs of the body serve, supply each other, and complement each other, so it is here. This is vital.

Trade forms the blood vessels that transport nutrients as needed: back and forth. And the fact that trade today is based on deception, cheating others, and imposing what they do not need on them or having them swallow all sorts of harmful products, is a whole different ball game. This should not happen.

In fact, trade has never been conducted this way. Everything between the Jews was built on complete trust. My great-grandfather worked for an orthodox owner in the village as a production manager. He had a small notebook and no accounting books. My grandfather told me about it. My great-grandfather wrote down everything in this notebook and kept track of it all. When the Soviet government came, he was imprisoned and several people took over his job in the accounting department. To no use!

It all depends on how you approach the work and how you run the operation. Either one person with a small notebook or twenty people sorting through pieces of paper. Therefore, a proper attitude holds immense potential.

Question: Will this period in which people are ready to kill each other for profit ever end?

Answer: They have to taste it all and then they will come to the realization. I have no doubt about it. I’m an optimist. A fatalist and an optimist.

Question: The time in which we live is special. On one hand, there are dark times: pandemic, war, disease, and death.

According to statistics, it suddenly turns out that along with this there is an increase in social support and charity.  Along with the great separation people are experiencing,  at the same time there is great solidarity and support. They exist together. It feels like we are being put through some kind of purge.

What do you think we will cling to?

Answer: We are simply being washed like in a washing machine. That’s all.

Question: What is being washed in us?

Answer: Everything! Egoism, altruism, our views, everything is being washed. Such is our time.

Question: What is a “clean garment” for you? What should we come to as a result of all this washing?

Answer: We should reach an understanding of how we should relate to the world. We do not know. We rush from here to there. We do not have a clear worldview.

Question: Is that why we were placed into this washing machine?

Answer: Yes. People are not yet free within themselves to create a clear, definite, independent, objective base for themselves in order to observe the world from it, and precisely from it.

Question: Is this washing and cleaning in order for us to have at least some small light through which we would look at the world? Is it only then that we can talk about some kind of getting closer to objectivity?

Answer: Yes, at first we begin to understand how biased we are, how there is absolutely nothing that is clearly our own within us. Everything is superficial, everything changes very much depending on what we hear and what we see.

Question: Do we have this understanding that if they have already started washing us, it means we are dirty?

Answer: So what? I have nothing else. I think this way today, in a day or two or a week or two I will think differently. I myself do not know from which side and to which side I am gradually drifting. Not at all.

Question: How do we get through this time and come to a good result?

Answer: This is possible when we see a goal and we aim at it, we harpoon it, and we can be directed at it and go to it, swim to it. We harpoon it and it is dragging us.

Question: What should be the goal?

Answer: The Creator. There is nothing else. The world is already close to beginnin to discover this state.

Moreover, for us this discovery is turning to be scientific in some way, experimental, like for scientists, and so on.

And for people it will happen naturally. Like this: turn left, turn right, no, not here, no, not there, but where is it? And so on. That is, they will be rocked on the waves, and in the end they will see that here it is, the promised land.

Question: Are you saying that nowadays some kind of gyroscope is as if inserted into a person, like in an airplane, which leads him to the goal?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this gyroscope my inner voice that will be saying what I feel?

Answer: The gyroscope is a small motor that is clearly oriented, for example, to the North Star. No matter how its platform rotates in all planes, this spinning top is clearly directed at it along its axis.

Question: Is this how we will be directed to the Creator?

Answer: Yes! We need someone to spin this top within us. This is the middle line that should appear in us. Then there will be nothing scary.

Question: Is this what you call the best and only result of this whole washing and cleaning?

Answer: Of course! After this, everything becomes clear!

Question: Is this why all this is happening now?

Answer: Yes. Hold on to it and keep walking.

Comment: May God grant that this gyroscope, this wheel, will be finally inserted into us.

My Response: Yes. But only if we want it.

Question: How will I, a simple, ordinary person, perceive the Creator? What is it that I am yearning for, going toward?

Answer: The only truth of all possible ones. Then everything in the world will gradually subside, settle down. In general, it will all calm down.

Comment: God willing!

Question: Kabbalists talk about this concept of building a society where everyone is united. How do they envision it?

Answer: First of all, we must fully recognize the evil of egoism. But once we realize this, what then?

Let’s say I understand that there is nothing in the world but evil. Can I replace it with an opposite quality?! After all, there is either a force of attraction or a force of repulsion. We are either giving or receiving. Can I work in a mode of giving instead of receiving? No this is our nature.

But it turns out that there is a force in nature that can change us into the opposite and simply transform us. Today I work only in the receiving mode: where, what, and how to receive. Not to mention, I want to do it more comfortably, more cheaply, with less effort and while giving less and receiving more because this is the formula for my whole life and my activity at every level: physiological, mental, spiritual, whatever.

Can I really change myself? Yes. There is a force in nature that created egoism. It can have such an effect on us that it will change us toward the opposite direction. And suddenly, instead of always acting according to the formula “give less and take more,” we will begin to live according to another formula: “The connection between us is the most important thing and it determines all my actions.”

That is, my actions will be aimed at being as connected as possible with others, not receiving for myself, and uniting with everyone. At the same time, I will discover myself and the whole of nature as one single entity. And if this single whole is not connected together, then it will become more and more destructive and eventually destroy me just like cancer destroys the body.

If I understand this clearly, I will have no option but to find a way to change myself and connect with others. Now, when we are approaching a global catastrophe and because the whole world is externally connected and everyone depends on each other, we are simply obliged to do this.

And here Kabbalah becomes revealed, saying: “There is such a force in nature. This is the same force that created your egoism and keeps influencing it. It can affect your ego and make such an inversion instantly. If you understand that you have to be interconnected with others through good connections, this force will do all the work for you. How? Here’s a methodology for you.”

Then we will really be able to change the nature of man. Not ourselves or any political dictatorships, but the force that we invoke. We see this in the example of the Kabbalists who have been putting this into practice for many generations.

Today we are approaching a state where it can be done by all of humanity. And In this lies our bright future.

Comment: Michael writes to you: “In a quiet, peaceful time I could agree with you that it is necessary to embrace your enemy and that love is above everything. This is what I used to do by the way. But now I see how impossible it is. Man cannot do that. You will never embrace a murderer or a rapist in your life. You will not hug them! So why are you talking about it?”

My Response: I am not saying that you must physically hug him. Even internally you cannot hug him. But you should try to imagine that you have descended to his level, because if he is a murderer and a rapist, then he is below you. Yet, you descend in order to somehow get in touch with him, to understand him in some way.

Question: So, in fact, contact is impossible, right?

Answer: No? Then you will not do anything. You must understand that man was programmed this way from above. After all, we are talking about Kabbalah, about Kabbalistic correction.

We must understand that a person was simply directed in this way. With all his egoism and inclinations, it is not his fault. The Creator arranged it all for him, the kind, almighty, and loving Creator. Therefore, we still have a great deal to correct in our understanding.

Only when you descend to his level and realize that everything that is in him comes from the Creator and this is depicted before you and within you so that you correct your attitude to what is happening and to the Creator, then you will be able to somehow come closer to him. You will not be able to hug him yet, but you can come closer to him and start correcting this condition together with him so that in the end you would be able to understand him, because it does not depend on him.

This is all the fault of the Creator who did it and did it in order to correct you so that together you can rise to the level of mutual understanding and then to mutual love between you for all of humanity, for the entire universe, and thus to correct everything.

Comment: What an impossibly difficult science we are engaged in!

My Response: This is not science. This is nature! Otherwise, we will not do anything!

Comment: It requires turning the guts inside out, washing the entire heart, and clearing the entire mind.

My Response: When you do it constantly for a long time, you reach it. People will go through these wars. These will be internal wars, wars of the Messiah. And everything will work out.

Comment: You understand, don’t you, that we are talking about a loved one, about someone dear who is no longer with us.

My Response: All relatives and friends will suddenly manifest in such a way that you will not see anyone who would be more distant from you than the closest one. And the most distant ones will turn out to be the closest.

Everyone will turn out to be absolutely close and absolutely ugly. And suddenly, you will have to love them and just adore them. There are real wars ahead; they are called “the wars of the Messiah,” the wars of liberation from our egoism.

Messiah (Mashiach)—from the word “Limshoch,” to pull out— is the one who pulls us out of our egoism. We stop looking at the world egoistically, we stop blaming people for it. We must relate this to the Creator and correct our attitude to Him from absolute hatred to absolute love.

Comment: Can you imagine! You say: “He is to blame for everything, He did everything, He is the main enemy of man.”

My Response: If this is how I perceive the world, then yes.

Question: What if it is the other way around?

Answer: If it is the other way around, then I must turn myself upside-down again; in the end, I must correct myself and there is no evil and harm in the world except for myself, my egoism. I have to correct it into the quality of absolute love where I see everyone as my enemies and haters and correct them into everyone I see loving and loved.

Question: Does it mean that I correct myself and they become loving and loved?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: That is, everything is aimed at making me sort myself out.

My Response: Yes. There are still things to do ahead of us.

Question: You say that there are serious wars ahead. In any case, are we being prepared for them, or will we be thrown unprepared into this scorcher?

Answer: No! Who is there to throw? It is like throwing a baby into a real fight.

Question: Are we being led to them one way or another and we will come to this already wanting these wars?

Answer: Yes. We will understand their necessity.
