Question: If all the people in the world, every single one would make the same wish for the New Year—one from all—would it come true? What kind of desire should it be that you would also like to participate in?

Answer: What would I wish for people? To open their eyes, to understand the universal formula of nature, that they can feel and see it, enter into this formula, and exist in it.

Question: And if this desire, which you want everyone to have and with which you obviously associate yourself with, would appear in everyone, would everything turn upside down?

Answer: Of course. Then all people would live in “love your neighbor as yourself.” This balances the entire nature at all levels—from small to large.

In the News (itv.com): “UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson told leaders at the COP26 climate change conference the world is at ‘one minute to midnight on that doomsday clock’, …

“Humankind is ‘treating nature like a toilet’ by continuing to use fossil fuels, the UN secretary-general has warned, after Boris Johnson told the COP26 summit that immediate action is needed to ‘defuse that bomb’ of climate change.
“The prime minister warned the climate change conference’s opening ceremony that humanity has “run down the clock” on climate change and must get serious about action, before rising sea levels swallow entire cities forever.”

Question: The 2021 UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow concluded. How do you think it ended?

Answer: It ended exactly with what it started.

Question: That’s right, nothing. Nobody made a commitment to cut emissions. Everyone had in mind how to restore the economy after the pandemic; the environment and climate will wait. The result was summed up by Prince Charles: “I just can’t believe how many times over the past 40 years I have made such speeches in all parts of the world, and everything is useless.”

Why does it all start and happen as always?

Answer: They have nothing in their hands. No strength. They can’t do anything, even against all these emissions. There is no way they can stop it. No way! To do this, they need to close all of industry in general. First of all, computers.

Because of all this confusion, all this attitude to the world, it all originates from the fact that people have created an evil connection between themselves.

Comment: Not even production, not carbon dioxide…

My Response: This should be dealt with later. But as long as we have such a terrible egoistic connection between us, nothing will help. We do not know how to create the right connections, and therefore, everything that they bring us is evil.

Comment: They will say that you are against progress.

My Response: I am against progress. Naturally! And they themselves say that progress in the form it is in is digging our grave.

Question: And what should we do? Cancel computers today or somehow change the direction of work?

Answer: We must use them, but only correctly. And that’s right; this is only if we cut off all these wrong connections between people. You see how they harm people.

Question: The main problem and the main reason for poor ecology, climate and so on is?

Answer: Wrong connection between people. And today it is through computer networks.

Question: And if we direct them to communicate correctly between us, then everything will be fine?

Answer: Good. And if not, then they will destroy us.

Question: Are they, in principle, directed against such communication?

Answer: They are directed against people. I’m not against the machines themselves, it’s metal. It is iron with silicone.

Question: Are you against such use of them?

Answer: Yes. But this is a means of communication between us. And therefore these means of communication between us must be changed! But how can this be changed if they are in the hands of all sorts of businessmen? And on top of everything these businessmen don’t care about anything. Anything! They only count money. And it’s crazy money, and for the sake of what is not clear.

Question: And why do they need this money?

Answer: For the sake of power over the world.

Question: There are so many problems! What is it for a man?

Answer: No problem. This is ecstasy.

How the world will deal with this, I do not know. But now it is slowly starting to get clear that if we don’t break this evil computer connection, if we don’t change it, then of course we will all be in very bad shape. A computer is simply a communication implementation.

Therefore, the first protest against Facebook and other networks, when they begin to openly manifest themselves as the selfish power of their owners over humanity, is, of course, incredible! I wonder where this will lead next.

Question: Do you not believe that a person can create something global with the thought of uniting humanity, doing good to people?

Answer: No. At this level, even more so. There must be completely corrected people with the correct understanding of the right methodology, the correct connection between mankind. They don’t have this at all. They have money, politics, influence, and power.

Question: How can we get around this? How can this connection be arranged?

Answer: Just as in the past there was a revolution against machines, now there should be a revolution against computer communications. Limiting it seriously and doing it only for the benefit of people, which I think, of course, is simply incredible. But in this direction.

In the News (The Atlantic): “Why Are People Nostalgic for Early-Pandemic Life?”

Comment: Some conclude that today we are even lonelier.

My Response: Of course!

Comment: Today we have come out of our apartments where we were imprisoned and we are lonelier and the future is more uncertain.

My Response: Still, the pandemic taught us, it did not allow us to use our huge egoism. Otherwise, we would have driven ourselves into even greater stagnation. I believe that the pandemic has brought great benefits.

Question: So you have a very clear understanding that it came with an absolutely precise purpose?

Answer: Naturally. How can such a phenomenon pass without a goal, without a definite internal plan? Nature has everything according to plan. It has a beginning and an end connected together, and clearly goes from one end to the other. Depending on the reaction of humanity, we go through these states. We could have gone faster, better, and more easily with a much kinder result.

Comment: I want to reconstruct the events a little bit. We were connected, we worked, we flew to visit each other, we somehow moved around. And suddenly we were told: “Enough!”

My Response: Yes. We’ve had fun and that’s enough.

Question: We were separated, put in our apartments, the work places closed, tourist trips to each other, and so on. And all this was for what?

Answer: For us to try and realize whether we needed the kind of life we were in. Now the problem is whether we will return to this or not. There are those who resist and do not want to return. We hear and see it. And there are those who seem to agree.

Question: For us to return to the old connections?

Answer: Yes. But it will no longer be the same connections, it will no longer be the same pursuit and competition.

Question: Will there be any caution?

Answer: Not only caution, there will be a thing of doing everything at half strength, from the inability to do otherwise because we are practically forced to work. Just as slaves were forced to work in the fields, so we are forced to work in all these modern jobs today. We are struggling, but in general, we will have to return to our offices.

Question: You think that the question will arise, why is all this necessary at all?

Answer: This question is already arising.

Question: Was it important for the pandemic to lead us to this question?

Answer: This is the result of the pandemic, what it wanted to achieve and achieved. We’ll see what’s ahead of us. All this is just the beginning.

Question: Why do people have nostalgia for the beginning of the pandemic? They say: “We didn’t know what would happen then, but there was some kind of unity.” Why was there unity in the break?

Answer: Because we all found ourselves facing some kind of external threat that worked for all of us, against all of us, it doesn’t matter. And in this we felt together. It united us somehow, put everyone together in front of this whole disease, the virus. And it felt good.

Question: Does a person need this record? It shows that this is written in a person now.

Answer: Entrepreneurs and others are fighting to erase this record. But along with this, another wave rises, which says: “We don’t want to erase it, it’s good for us. We are in this state closer to each other and are more pleasant to each other.”

Question: Are you more for this wave?

Answer: Neither for this nor for that. As much as the second wave is more pleasant, the one that does not want to return to its metal machines, I think neither this nor that is correct. We must first realize what kind of future we want in general. And, first of all, what kind of relationship we want between us. And then we will choose.

Question: So the most important thing is awareness?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What will we choose then?

Answer: If we are aware, then we will choose life, life where we help each other in connection with each other and exist for this.

Question: Recently, cytotherapy (cell and gene therapy) has developed, which often results in the sale of stem cells from an unborn baby.

There are stories of doctors conducting ultrasound scans and deliberately giving a wrong diagnosis and telling the mother that she needs to terminate the pregnancy for medical reasons so that the embryo could be used to rejuvenate famous people, so these physicians can earn a nice sum of money.

What’s happening? How can this be? The main oath doctors take is the Hippocratic oath: “Do no harm.”

Answer: What are you talking about?! We see that doctors are one of the most egoistic specialties because a doctor feels that he has power over you, that he can command you; he feels his impunity.

Comment: It would seem that it should be the opposite.

My Response: You appeal to morality, to some kind of inner honesty, conscience, or justice. How can one demand this from a modern person? Especially when you take young people and teach them to be egoistic, to try to achieve some position, some kind of power by any means. A doctor is paid to serve more patients and prescribe more drugs for which money is paid.

Each doctor is personally interested in patients coming to him and not to another doctor. It is beneficial for him to prescribe additional drugs for each patient since in the end it turns out to be a decent income for him. I have talked with some doctors and they explained everything to me frankly. That is, the doctor has absolutely no interest in human health.

Therefore today all medicine is aimed at making money. And there’s nothing to say about the cost of medicines and medical equipment. The health care budget sometimes exceeds the national defense budget. This is an extremely lucrative trough for millions of people.

Since all medicine is arranged by us egoistically, we cannot demand that doctors help a person disinterestedly. All their activity is based on their attitude not toward a person, but toward his organ. Therefore the whole approach, both in general and in particular, is completely flawed.

Question: Can this approach be changed?

Answer: No. This will become possible only when a person is convinced that he lives in a whole world and is connected with everyone else. If he wants to be healthy, then he must take care of the health of the whole society.

In The Book of Zohar, in the chapter “Pinchas,” it is said that all our illnesses result from an egoistic attitude toward each other. We transfer this infection, this poison, from one to another, and therefore we get sick.

Question: There is what is called the Dunbar number, which is the number of social connections that a person can keep in his head.

An English anthropologist, Robin Dunbar, determined that in any given situation, 150 is the number of people that makes an active group of contacts with whom a person can interact at one time.

Neurophysiologists say that if we lack social connections, we begin to create them artificially.

Why does a person need such a social network in his head?

Answer: The fact is that we are created as social beings who have to interact with each other and create a certain field of communication between us and even above us. This is what makes us human; otherwise we are animals. After all, there is no “human” level in nature. There are only three levels: inanimate, vegetative, and animate, and human is something above nature.

That is, we want to rise to this level, and we have certain beginnings. But in order to create this level, it is first necessary to learn how to communicate and interact correctly. We don’t have this yet in our society. It is barely trying to rise from the animate degree to the level of “man.” Therefore such beginnings are appreciated.

The forecast for 2022 depends entirely on the kind of relations we will have with each other. Man is at the very top of the ladder of all parts of reality: inanimate matter, plants, animals, and humans. Therefore, our behavior toward nature and with each other determines all the other lower levels.

Although it seems to us that our thoughts, desires, and relationships do not affect the levels of nature below us: the inanimate, vegetative, and animate, the fact is that we also determine our attitude toward the rest of nature through our egoistic relations with each other and we see the corresponding consequences in nature itself and how we are harming it.

There is no more harmful element than man in the world that damages all of nature. This is why we need to think about ways to change our attitude to the environment, the use of natural resources, and climate change. All this can be balanced by adjusting the relations between people.

We can do i; everything is in our hands. This is a very flexible way because we do not need to stop plants and factories. Let’s just relate to each other more kindly and obligate everyone to this because everyone understands that our world requires urgent change and healing.

If we do not do it, the world will be dying away year after year. We are depleting the natural resources of the Earth, taking the last of the oil, gas, and coal, polluting the oceans and sources of freshwater, and poisoning the air. We cannot go on like this. I do not belong to any society for the protection of the environment. I only say that the ecology and all other problems on Earth depend on the relationships between people. Let’s change this relationship and everything will change from that.

We are already in an economic crisis, and we can have other crises in addition to it: financial, industrial, family, international diplomatic crisis. There are many conflict points in the world  that could spark a world war. However, the relationship between people includes an attitude toward everything else. We need to correct man! I hope that in 2022 we will begin to understand this.

If humanity could look at itself in the mirror and see its internal relationships, we would simply shudder with horror. Everyone would look like an evil wolf or crocodile—just like in horror movies.

People do not believe that our relationships can be improved; they do not believe at all that it is possible to correct man. However, here is the method of Kabbalah. If we really feel how dependent we are on each other, how we are enslaved to our egoism, which controls us all the time to our detriment, and we start thinking about the way to escape from this slavery, we will be able to somewhat rise above ourselves a. Then our lives will change completely.

The problem is that people do not think this correction is possible because it does not come from nature. It is revealed only to a limited number of people that it is possible to rise above human egoism.

Besides, this method is special due to the fact that it cannot be implemented by one person but requires the support of many people around him.

Only by mutually supporting and helping each other can they rise above the egoism they were born into and grew up in. In this way they can overcome their egoism and see how the world changes if they look at it from the quality of bestowal instead of the quality of reception.

Freedom is the right to inequality.

Equality (if it is understood more broadly than purely formal legal term “equal rights”) and freedom are incompatible things. By nature, people are not equal, equality can only be achieved through violence, which will always be an alignment to the lowest level.

It is possible to equalize the poor with the rich, but only by taking away from the rich his wealth.
It is possible to equalize the weak with the strong, but only by taking away from the strong his strength.
It is possible to equalize the fool with the clever, but only by turning the wisdom from dignity into a blemish.

The society of universal equality is a society of the poor, the weak and the foolish, based on violence (Nikolai Berdyaev).

My Response: This is what they tried to build in his country. But it is impossible. By this you deprive a person of the opportunity to move forward. After all, he measures himself in relation to others. And if there is no competition, there is degradation.

I am for competition but for good, right competition so that you are better than him, and he is better than you. And it becomes better, better, and better every time, kinder, smarter, and so on. And then you would like to become the same and even more than that.

Question: Is this good?

Answer: Of course. Look what you stimulate by this. And today’s competitiveness is destructive. Ask people: who do they recognize today as great people? They will tell you: officials, billionaires, and that’s it.

Question: Why does humanity have such a dream all the time to come to a society of equals?

Answer: Because it is the only hope. And all other societies are ugly. I am speaking theoretically. Nature strives for balance. Nature abhors a vacuum. And so we want to come to this equality.

Question: But it is impossible. Or is it?

Answer: What we find, on the other hand, is impossible. But! Man can rise above nature and bring it to balance. To ensure that everyone is happy—each by himself, in his own right—and that everyone is equal, each in its own way. That is, the problem in definitions begins here: how can incompatibility be compatible? This we must learn.

Question: That is, will we be equal in the happiness that we will feel?

Answer: If I think about the happiness of others, then I will achieve my own happiness.

Question: Is this what you call a society of equals?

Answer: It is a society of balance.

Question: Then once again: the definition of happiness for you, if possible?

Answer: Happiness is when I can make others happy. Unbelievable?

Comment: And at the same time it is impossible. But people will feel good and warm to hear it.

My Response: Because it is pleasant for them that people around are kind to them. It is good for a person egoistically. But in fact, it is very difficult to become that way.

Question: But is it necessary?

Answer: We will discover very soon that it is necessary.

Comment: You keep saying that one way or another, humanity will come to this.

My Response: It is the bright future for all mankind.

Question: So one way or another, sooner or later, I will come to the point that I will be happy because I make others happy?

Answer: Yes, that is precisely the correct definition of happiness. It is characterized by a balanced society.

Question: Donald Trump’s company is creating a social network where there will be no ideological censorship. Anyone can say whatever they want ideologically.

Is there a place in the modern world without ideological censorship?

Answer: It all depends on the consumer. If people want the truth or go toward it, even if their path is very difficult and happens, for example, in all kinds of verbal battles, then there is the right seed in this and they can prosper.

To do this, one must clearly see the correct goal—rising above human nature.

Question: And where does this truth exist, this justice? Or does everyone have their own?

Answer: No. It is above everyone’s egoism, and therefore it is one for everyone.

The year 2021 is ending. We are on the threshold of 2022, and everyone wants to know what the New Year will bring. Will we have respite from the problems that have befallen us recently?

The year 2021 made a huge gap in the lives of many people, brought fears, uncertainty, catastrophic changes in nature, the economy, health, and all areas of life. How can you turn all these changes to a point that will bring new life?

We must understand that if we want to turn the course of development and direct it to a new course, we must perceive everything that happens as yearning for connection with each other. Overcoming all the problems and all the troubles that weigh down on our lives is only possible if we are more and more united. And then we will see that this is a universal solution to all possible problems.

If we feel closer and help each other, stop hatred and wars, do everything to be together as one man with one heart, then we will come out of all adversity and problems with a big win.

You simply have to go and do it. I do not know of a single technique, religion, or faith from ancient times to the present day that call for anything else. We need to realize what so many people, prophets, great personalities, and spiritual leaders have talked about throughout the history of mankind. If we do this, we will surely have a good life.

There is abundance in our world; there is no shortage of anything, but we take natural resources, water, and air from the earth and turn it all into poison because we use everything only for the sake of someone’s profit, weapons, and enmity. We must change our attitude toward nature, toward society. If each of us wants this, then we will oblige the world leaders to it—even those who are against it.

Today’s reality seems extremely complex. What can you expect from 2022? If we do not change this state, it will be even worse. Unfortunately, I do not see any other prospects yet. Despite the fact that mankind is getting smarter year after year in engineering, technology, and modern medicine, we do not know how to use all of this correctly for the life of an ordinary person. This is the problem.

And all this is because we are not fixing relationships between people. It turns out that everyone feels like an individualist, separated from others, and not indebted to them. And although the world’s population has grown to several billion people, everyone suffers only because of that.

Pharmaceutical company Pfizer predicts that we will have to fight the coronavirus epidemic until 2024. What then can be expected in 2022 if we take into account the additional problems from climate change, the collapse of economy and all areas of life in the world? All these problems will continue: natural disasters, volcanic explosions, earthquakes, and extreme global warming that we are causing.

This global warming is freeing all kinds of harmful viruses from the earth, many of which will be very difficult for us to fight, if we can at all. All this is on the horizon, but we can undo all this and prevent these problems. However, the solution lies not in the field of technology, medicine, or pharmaceuticals, but only in the field of human relations.

By correcting relations between common people and countries, we have the opportunity to stop all harmful viruses: both known and not yet known and leave them in place where they are now, not letting them appear, develop, multiply, and enter us. It all depends only on the relationship between people.

One can ask: “What is the connection between the economy, climate, and human relations?” The fact is that man is at the highest level of everything that exists in nature, of all its levels: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human. And even more so when humanity reaches a high level of development as it did at the end of the 20th and 21st century.

We can do everything! We have high technologies, powerful weapons, and modern medicine. But in relations between people, we are in a much worse condition than the most primitive people who lived thousands of years ago. And we need to improve this area.

The world develops through suffering, by getting more and more blows. And in order to break out of this tangled circle, we need to understand what the blows depend on and how to organize our lives in a new way so that the blows benefit us and bring us closer to each other and to the global nature, meaning to the upper force.

Then we will feel that we live in a wonderful world! There is no shortage of anything in our world except a kind, balanced connection between all the forces of nature. If we could connect one with the other through forces of kindness instead of forces of confrontation, we would feel ourselves in the upper world, in paradise, instead of in this world.

We just all need to agree that we want to awaken the good forces hidden within us in order to build good relationships. Everyone has a little bit of such forces. But if we all want to awaken together toward kindness, then it is possible.

This is exactly what we need to do leading up to 2022. We have already tried all the means and realized that nothing works except for one thing: let’s try to keep good connections with each other. We will help each other with our thoughts so that everyone will manage to come to such mutual involvement, support, unity, and love.

We will not let anyone explode, scream, or spill their evil on to others. Then we can really succeed, and 2022 will be a turning point in our relations in the family, between states, and among all people. We will see how we balance the whole of nature with this. All the forces of nature, supposedly in conflict with each other, will suddenly calm down, and all nature will come into balance.

I wish my students all over the world to absorb even more wisdom of Kabbalah in the new year and gather even wider circles of support around them so that together we can change the world for the better.

My wish to all mankind for this new year: Let’s come to love, connection, and mutual embrace between all people without any distinction around the globe. This will solve all the problems.

Happy New Year!
