Question: Are there any well-known scientists today who assert in their research that the upper force exists?

Answer: There are many such scientists. We are in contact with them and try to show how, through research of nature and research of the inner world of man, we come to the same result: that there is an upper force above us with certain properties, which apparently has a specific purpose in relation to us, and we should check our reactions with this.

And what is happening to us now is happening because we do not have the correct connection with this force and because we do not comply with the laws established by it in nature.

Today there are enough people in the world with education, titles, and status both in society and in science who can state this in a way that it can be heard.

And on the other hand, we who are engaged in the science of Kabbalah can add to everything they have said. We can add confirmation from Kabbalah to all their discoveries in quantum physics, in the study of biological forms of life, or in the study of the psychological nature of man. Kabbalah explains why this happens at all levels of nature: still, vegetative, animate. Kabbalah adds explanations together with them, and in opposition to them. In this way, we clarify things to such an extent that they will be easy and convincing for the general public.

This is from the human side. But from the side of the upper force, since we still do not fulfill its will, we are of course facing even worse states ahead. For it is known that blows purify a person, and then he becomes sensitive enough to understand and hear that these blows depend on something he does not understand and for which he does not see a reason. And since he wants to get rid of them, he will want to find the cause even though it is hidden.

Thus we come to a certain stage where we explain, together with scientists and with specialists who will actually be able to present our explanation, the “means to avoid blows.” On the other hand, society is already in a state where it wants to hear: “It does not matter what the solution is; just give it!” It is like a sick person who demands medicine just to get rid of the problem. This process is very rational.

Question: You say that there is a general law in the world. Let’s say I have never heard of it, and my own life is a mess. How can I understand and agree that there is a law behind all this? Can it be studied somehow?

Answer: We know this law “from the reverse side.” The only question is: How much longer will we have to suffer before we acknowledge it exists and that no matter what we do, nothing worthwhile comes of it.

Why is that? It means we do not see the full picture of reality; we are missing its most essential part. Our lack of understanding, perception, and connection with this part is the cause of all our failures. That is where the need arises within us to discover what we are missing.

This missing part of reality is called the upper force. If we become familiar with it, we will understand what to do. If not, we will continue to suffer even more.

The approach here is entirely pragmatic; there is no need for lofty words. It is simply about survival, about preventing total destruction.

Baal HaSulam writes that all of humanity could be reduced to just a few thousand people and they could fulfill everything that is required. This is not about bodies; that is obvious. Millions of souls can exist within a single body. All of this is highly flexible.

The correct attitude toward reality is a much more advanced stage. After all, simply knowing that the world is structured in a certain way and that each person has their own function and their own goal that they must achieve in some form, this knowledge itself, after having come to each person, will begin to organize the entire world in the correct way.

We will see to what extent all matter, all actions, and everything that happens in the world aligns with the forces that truly operate within it. The forces acting in the world are 100% the forces of the Creator.

It is only human disagreement that causes the entire world—still, vegetative, animate, and especially speaking—to not be in equivalence of form with the intention of the Creator toward creation. This results in a terrible feeling for the human being who finds themselves in this world.

Why specifically the human in this world? Because only people in this world, and especially in our time, and particularly us, are obligated to freely choose how to relate correctly to reality.

The problem is that we view the world as a mass of matter, yet we forget that matter is merely the final, lowest, inanimate result that rests upon intention, upon attitude. You see, the more concealed the forces are, the stronger they are. If we begin to pay even a little attention to relationships, we will see how, through them, we change everything, including matter itself.

Question: According to statistics, a significant portion of Americans feel overwhelmed by the abundance of news. Seven out of ten Americans (68%) say: “We are fed up with the news; it is too much for us; we feel bad because of it.”

Is a person unable to just disconnect? Just turn off the news?

Answer: No, they cannot. I know this, and I feel this pressure too. One has to actively resist and turn off the news.

Question: How can an ordinary person free himself from this pressure?

Answer: Sift through the day’s news, and you will be left with, at most, two or three small pieces of actual news. Everything else is just filler.

Question: What is this phenomenon that the world pushes itself into a person and forces its way inside him?

Answer: I think this is already starting to burn out.

Question: And what will come next?

Answer: I hope it will be the question about the meaning of life because it is this question that drives this whole revolution.

Question: So will we eventually come to deeper communication with each other?

Answer: No. We will not get to this communication in a natural way. It is very threatening to our egoism; it pressures and obliges it. That is why I do not believe that connection or communication is our near future. It is our distant future. Only when we realize that we cannot go on like this anymore will we move toward connection in a very special way.

Question: Then where do you find the strength to spread the wisdom of Kabbalah even though you keep saying that one way or another, we must reach unity and connection?

Answer: You are thinking like an old-school materialist who believes that he has to lead humanity to happiness through his slogans.

I know it will happen in a completely different way. A small group of people, moved by an inner spark, will create proper relationships among themselves and through nature’s internal structure will influence all of humanity. And all of humanity will begin to resemble them, without even realizing it.

This small group will become like the head, the brain of humanity. As they change, all of humanity will follow them automatically, like a shadow.

Question: So you claim that all responsibility lies on this small group?

Answer: Yes. Good luck!

We are now at a point in time when the world is ready to embrace the method of spiritual correction. If such thoughts and awareness are awakening in the world( as we have seen recently), it is a clear sign that the world is indeed ready.

If, under the pressure of suffering and the question of life’s meaning, people begin to ask “What is the point of the Jewish people’s existence?”, then the answer to that can also begin to be understood.

Humanity is now undergoing very deep, powerful processes. The thoughts circulating around the world, especially in a world interconnected through modern communication, are once again leading to the mixing of Reshimot from the time of the breaking of the vessels.

What is happening today? The world will soon unite around the idea that there is a certain nation, as Haman once said, that interferes with everyone, and that the solution is simply to eliminate it.

This idea will soon become fashionable. Every “cultured” person will begin to speak of it in a respectable, acceptable way, and present himself as understanding the real structure of the world and identifying the source of its evil.

He will express his desire to fix the world, to make it better, by surgically removing the “evil” from it. This will appear very clear, very rational, very scientific, supported by historical and philosophical arguments, and it will be presented as something real and correct.

After all, the Germans were also the most cultured and developed nation at the time of the Holocaust. And that was not by chance. That is how this entire philosophy developed, though it is not new; it has existed since the time of the destruction of the temple.

So if such questions arise: “What is the cause, and what is the answer?”, it means the world is now more ready to hear.

Comment: According to statistics, when someone attacks another person and sees signs of weakness, the attacker often feels an even greater urge to harm them.

My Response: Naturally, that is our egoism. When we see someone else’s weakness and we are confident that we will not be punished, we instinctively desire to suppress them even more.

We are very easily drawn to extremes, either one way or the other. It all depends on society, on the environment, which can influence us in either direction. It is an enormous force that resides within us, a terrifying force!

Right now, we are at a pivotal point in historical development where we can turn one way or the other. We could slide back into fascism, only this time, it would be far worse culminating in a world war of such magnitude that only a small remnant of humanity would survive, which is a scenario like those shown in Hollywood films: a destroyed Earth, with the remaining people living among heaps of metal and junk, the last remnants of everything that once existed.

Kabbalah says this is possible. Still, the people who remain will fulfill their task of bringing egoism to its corrected form. But this will happen through immense suffering.

Question: What has happened to humanity? We used to want to study, get degrees, become directors, and earn money!

Answer: But why? We are aware of the uselessness of all these tensions.

People still play sports. They climb mountains and do other things, hold competitions in fashion, in sports, and in everything else. That too will pass.

The most important question is why?

Comment: He will kill everything.

My Response: Yes, and humanity will calm down. And what will happen? Nothing. We will simply relate to each other.

Question: This is unclear. What does it mean “simply relate to each other”?

Answer: Simply, meaning in such a way that you do not cause anyone any negative feelings.

Question: Not to evoke hatred toward yourself?

Answer: Calmness! Just get your salary and spend the day as you wish. You will have enough time and desire to get used to this world and learn how to behave in it.

Comment: So the demand for more money, a bigger house, a pool in the yard…

My Response: There will be none of that. A person will begin to understand that he must live within his sensations, in a movement toward the correct attitude with others, an internal movement. And then a person who care about one’s specialty, salary, or anything.

If I have such an attitude toward others and I feel that others have the same attitude toward me, this mutual good network of forces between us, I feel it, I live in it. That is my work, I exist in it and so do all the others.

We only develop these mutual sensations of ours, without any effort. It should be without effort! This is how I treat others and others treat me, and everything freezes. And only that is the only feeling you perceive.

Question: And when you say: overcome our egoism, rise above egoism?

Answer: It is all inside. Just calm down.

Question: And it will be so calm? I always have the feeling that a person must make enormous efforts.

Answer: No, no, nothing! Quite the opposite. Why? If we relate to it correctly, then the upper light, which is in absolute rest, it will do everything. Just don’t worry. Just don’t interfere. “The Creator will finish it for me.” It is that simple.

Question: Harvard University, Princeton, etc. will not be needed?

Answer: No, nothing at all is needed.

Question: And studies, higher education, second, and third degrees?

Answer: No, not needed.

Comment: Humanity built all this for so long.

My Response: It was in order to define its mistakes.

Question: What will humanity come to?

Answer: To a peaceful, inner mutual balance. And in it, the connection between us will be revealed as complete and peaceful. In the stillness of these waters, we will come to the point that we will see through them the Creator.

In the Torah, this was formulated thousands of years ago: “It is preferable to sit and do nothing.”

Question: What does “do nothing” mean?

Answer: Do nothing! Do it so that from doing nothing, you have everything. You will see it is possible.

Question: So I will have food, something to feed the family with?

Answer: To the extent that it is necessary for you, you will work. But it will not be labor. It will simply be an occupation.

Question: It is not like I go to work suffering, hate it, and still go?

Answer: You will not be rushing around and suffering in traffic jams, none of that will happen.

Question: Will this thought penetrate? “What is enough is enough for me, and I do not need more.”

Answer: It will come gradually, but it will also come quickly.

Question: How is a mega-congress different from other congresses?

Answer: A mega-congress is a unified gathering of all people on Earth. We are trying to bring as many people as possible into unity—those who are unaware, in disagreement, indifferent, neutral, or far from anything spiritual—so they can discover that this exists and begin to understand the roots of their personal misfortunes and the global suffering in the world.

We want them to begin to sense the idea of a unified direction of humanity, society, and all of nature.

After all, we are entering a streak of failures that is systemic in nature, and we need to understand it. Why keep trying to run away from it? There are volcanoes here, droughts there, floods, terrorism, war, or other crises.

These problems need to be solved! After all, we are rational beings. So, let’s try to understand the world we live in.

Science has practically given up on this already. Politicians can’t do anything either; we see that from the outcomes of their summits, nor can the financiers. They are just trying to steal as much as possible before the end, while no one knows or understands what is coming next.

People have lost all sense of direction; they have no strength left to do anything. We have become ungovernable, and we no longer control anything ourselves. In other words, our egoism has ceased to be the driving force that guides us and allows us to manage our lives. Now, it no longer works.

Only interconnectedness, global unity, and the closed nature of the whole system can guide our lives now. This needs to be studied.

We must rewire our thinking, like a crew in a submarine facing danger working together to survive. They are specially trained to be united, to sense one another, and to understand that their personal survival depends entirely on the success of the whole.

We are at a turning point between two very serious epochs. There are only two of them. This is not what it was before and will be in the future. This is a transition from the world of the sole rule of egoism in everyone, in groups, in states, and in civilizations to a common, global, unified world, as it should be.

In principle, only man is a violator of this globality. The rest of nature is completely controlled from above, there is no way for it to change itself in anything and there is no need to. Humans are the only creation that are opposite to all others and represent an object that must change itself, on its own, intelligently.

So, we have a special time. We have a special task. Over the course of many incarnations of our lives we have come to a point where we need to solve this problem.

I am happy that we are in such a generation. We really have all the tools to solve this and move forward beautifully, easily, and freely, not with a stick to happiness, but with the awareness of a great task, a great dream, and a great fortune that we are now revealing.

This is not some kind of sky-high idea, but a very real idea that speaks about the whole of nature, tells us in a clear, scientific style what we can do, why and how. We should be happy that we have this opportunity.

Question: Until a certain time, all congresses were related to the preparation period. And now the congresses mark a new period—a period of correction. Everyone feels something new is emerging. What is it and how can we make the most of this state?

Answer: The world does not yet understand that it is at a completely new stage of development that is marked by qualitative changes.

The period of the previous egoistic development of the world has ended. The old paradigm is over; the paradigm where the more power, money, and knowledge means that you have more confidence in the future, more power, wealth, and everything else.

All these selfish accumulations, values, power, and achievements mean nothing in the new world because strength and success are defined differently in it. They are determined by the measure of correct interaction between the parts of creation, between all parts of nature.

We are already seeing this in ecology, in society, and between countries—everywhere. That is, one who knows how to interact with everyone correctly will survive and succeed. This is a law of global nature, and we have now entered this new phase.

For example, a child up to a certain age, say up to three or four years old, does not feel other children. They only present an opportunity to take something away from them, that is all. He does not understand the possibility of communicating with them.

But starting from the age of four or five, he makes friends. He plays with them, wants to get closer to his friends, and do something together. He is slowly moving away from nannies and gets closer to his friends.

From that point on, friends take on a very important place in the children’s environment. Then leaders are formed, all kinds of divisions into groups, subgroups, and so on. That is, a person is already becoming social.

Such a transition from individual, egoistic development to social development, which begins at the turn of four or five years of age, is taking place in humanity today.

Now everything will be determined by correct interactions, not by forming alliances as in: “I am against you in an alliance with the rest because I am tougher than you.” No! Namely, the correct, harmonious relationship between the parts of creation in accordance with the general law of nature. That is, we must conform to nature.

And this harmony will force us to become more and more environmentally correct, to fit into the whole picture of nature. Such a holistic approach will be in high demand, otherwise we will not survive.

People will see that all problems—banking, social, political, family—all collapse precisely because we have to move to a new system of relationships.

This system completely contradicts our egoistic, animal approach to nature, to ourselves, and to others. Therefore we will need to transform ourselves, become social, and think that the benefit of society is my benefit, the health of society is my health, and the success of society is my success.

This is so hard! Even impossible! Therefore we will have to break ourselves even more.

First, we must realize this is the case and we cannot escape. We suddenly find ourselves in such a world. So what do we do with it? We must find some hidden forces in nature to help us be in correct communication with nature.

Finding these forces is today’s task of mankind. We do not see them clearly, closely, actually; therefore, we try to escape this very task, that is, “it is impossible to solve, so there is no problem, so we close our eyes.” It will not work! The ostrich policy will not work here because the whole development is moving in this direction.

Kabbalah offers its own method of solution. It does not insist it is correct, and does not impose any dictatorial ways. It only says what it has to offer: “Check me out. See for yourself. And if so, take it and implement it.” That is all.
