Comment: A new trend in fashion is clothes that don’t exist. Digital fashion stores are now taking over the market. Digital outfits are simply superimposed on clients’ photos or videos on Instagram, social networks, and wherever you want.

Of course the lockdown, this virus, became an accelerator for this development. People were sitting at home and there was nowhere to go, there was nowhere to put on a dress or costumes. And now such virtual clothing stores have appeared.

Manufacturers say the traditional fashion industry pollutes the planet, but we do not. A lot of women buy clothes, put them on for one evening, and then throw them away.

Now you take these clothes—what do we want? Pajamas at home and tons of virtual clothes. You sit in front of the camera and you have a beautiful dress, you have wonderful outfits and so on.

It seems to me that this is a trend that will win its place.

My Response: I am in favor, of course. If I communicate over the Internet and can look the way I want on the screen of my choice, then that’s fine.

In general you need comfortable pajamas with large pockets, soft, in which you can lie and sit, and whatever you want to do.

Question: What should be the starting point when you say the word “fashion”?

Answer: Just convenience. Once good clothes used to open all doors; it all spoke of taste. Today taste is left to the mercy of businessmen; it all depends on money.

Fashion is a concept that I think is going out of style.

Comment: I used to wear clothes in order to be seen and appreciated.

My Response: Yes. One conveyed a lot with this, the language of clothing.

And today this is not the case. It is no longer there and will not exist at all. What’s the point if everyone can do whatever they want? And even more so in digital form. If we communicate, and we will definitely communicate in this form, then why do we need to run somewhere, or walk? You press the button “what clothes do you choose” and it gets put on you.

Question: And you can sit in your pajamas, you put on a suit, and you look like an English Lord, as it should be. Is this good?

Answer: I think yes.

Question: And what do they look at now when they communicate with a person? Do the clothes no longer make a man?

Answer: Of course not! Who doesn’t have these trousers, jackets, shirts, socks, and ties? I believe that all this should not be present at all. I am sitting in front of you in such attire and my hair is not mine. All this can be changed on the spot.

Question: What will I look at when looking at a person?

Answer: You will look at what he has inside. You will hear, you will perceive it.

Question: And I should not pay attention to what he is wearing, whether it’s Wrangler, Levi’s or something so cool from the well-known firms?

Answer: Of course not! Who is paying attention to this already?

Question: That is, will I be able to quietly see in a person his internality, his heart, his warmth? Is this what I will be looking for all the time?

Answer: I hope so.

Question: They will finally lead us to this, what alone will I be looking for?

Answer: I think so. But something from the outside will remain.

I remember my daughter. I was on a trip and she called and told me about some problem she had and even cried into the phone. This was when she was still a young girl.

And I was at the airport at that time. So I went to a serious bag shop there, called her from this store and asked: “What do you want? What gift?” There are such and such handbags. She of course lit up; she was still a girl.

Where she would go with this bag, I had no idea. And I photographed this handbag and sent it to her. She said: “Yes, yes. This is exactly what I want!”

The whole mood, everything changed. I bought it and brought it to her.

Question: In order to correct the mood of another, is this necessary?

Answer: This is necessary. For women such things are part of their life.

Comment: But still, one way or another we will come to internal communication.

My Response: Yes. I look at today’s youth, how they walk in these rags; they do not look at glitter at all. They have their own language, their own expressions. They communicate in a different way, they look at each other in a different way.

Question: Do you think they will not have such a strong external part? Will they get something internally?

Answer: Yes, because once it was status, it was the language of a person; but today it no longer means anything.

We will come to a very comfortable look in everything that surrounds us, from apartments, to cars, to clothes, and everything else. Because it’s convenient. And we will respect this in a person, and practically we will look at it. A person should not bribe us with his outward manifestations. Whoever has a deeper pocket is better; this is generally unacceptable!

It will go away quickly in men, and more slowly in women. But it will happen all the same. And apartments will be practical: not 200 to 300 square meters, and on the other hand not 40 square meters either. In general we will come to this internally.

Comment: Today’s world seems hostile and unpredictable to people. Scientists believe that as a result of this, people have shifted toward black-and-white solutions, without halftones, what is moral and what is not, whether there is a God, whether the death penalty is necessary, the answers become unambiguous.

Researchers say that we are on the verge of serious hardships and will need wisdom, and people needing to negotiate with each other, and not shooting from the hip. We have to learn to live by the rules of living together, yet we are less and less able to live like this.

My Response: This is true.

Question: What will happen to us?

Answer: There are sharp, dramatic methods of influencing humanity. Probably, there is no getting away from them.

Question: Do you think they will be applied?

Answer: Yes. Baal HaSulam, who is a famous Kabbalist, also writes that a third and even a fourth nuclear world war are quite possible.

Question: Is this in order to bring a person to some wisdom and gentleness?

Answer: We do not understand otherwise. Only disaster, only blows, can change us if we do not listen to what Kabbalah calls for.

Question: What does nature want to make of a person?

Answer: Nature pushes us to recognize the evil of our nature in order for us to begin changing it.

Comment: You will never get tired of talking about this.

My Response: This is a law of nature. How can I get tired? It will not change. It will only manifest itself more and more before us.

Question: Am I obliged to feel on my flesh, on myself, that there is evil in me? Is it not possible to skip over this?

Answer: No, it is impossible to skip over this. Nature will be combing us with a rake on our flesh, cutting like a knife. There will be nothing we can do about it. To agree immediately, as if we are ready to sit up and wag our tails, will not help us either.

It is because here we will have to recognize the full depth of our terrible and selfish nature, agree, understand, and even voluntarily want, without the influence of nature, to change ourselves.

That is, there must be a change. Although it will occur under the influence of external suffering, we still must realize this internally in our mind, in our inner qualities. We must ask nature to change us.

Question: Can we still avoid this? You started very harshly: “A person must go through this.”

Answer: The more I get to know people, the more I love animals.

Question: Do you see that a person is so stiff-necked?

Answer: The worst of all. He himself will not go and will not be able to do that. The only question is why nature drives us into such a trap. After all, it is relatively easy to recognize the inferiority of our nature and to draw conclusions from this.

Almost everyone will agree with this, from terrible monsters, murderers, and so on, to normal people. Everyone will agree that our nature is cruel, that we cannot get along with each other in any way. What can we do? “Let’s be good!”

No, we cannot! To do this, we need a systematic Kabbalistic education that will explain to us how to attract the good forces of nature upon us. These good forces will gradually, slowly change us over the years.

We definitely cannot do it ourselves. Nature can, but it depends on how much we can attract it upon ourselves, and beg it to change us.

A happy ending exists, but we cannot jump into it. Then what can we do? We can look soberly at what is happening and try to add superhuman awareness to human awareness with small inclusions, small injections.

There is nothing else. It will grow. However, it still requires a lot of time and a lot of effort.

In the News (National Post): “A book burning held by an Ontario francophone school board as an act of reconciliation with Indigenous people has received sharp condemnation from Canadian political leaders and the board itself now says it regrets its symbolic gesture.

“The “flame purification” ceremony, first reported by Radio Canada, was held in 2019… . Some 30 books, the national broadcaster reported, were burned for ‘educational purposes’ and then the ashes were used as fertilizer to plant a tree.

“’We bury the ashes of racism, discrimination and stereotypes in the hope that we will grow up in an inclusive country where all can live in prosperity and security, ‘says a video prepared for students about the book burning, Radio Canada reported.

“In total, more than 4,700 books were removed from library shelves at 30 schools across the school board… .”

Comment: I see that humanity has recently wanted to solve the problems of equality in this way.

My Response: But it is easier than educating.

Comment: You see, schools went for it. That is, those places that are designed to educate burn books.

My Response: Nothing can replace education. Because it changes a person, in the end it sets the goal of changing a person. And everything else is different, external.

Question: So hatred of these writers, of these books, is a departure from correct upbringing?

Answer: Of course. They wrote everything correctly for their time, once they were progressive people. These people were held in reverence, as the torch of humanity.

Comment: In general, each generation destroys what was built by another generation.

My Response: This is the problem, what must be destroyed correctly in order to build correctly. And what did they build on the fact that they destroyed slavery? Everyone became slaves. All are slaves.

Question: Then what do you call correct upbringing?

Answer: When a person is taught to love his neighbor. Teach everyone to love each other and there will be no talk of slavery.

Question: By doing so, you remove the basis of inequality?

Answer: Yes. What are you doing with this? You reveal hatred for each other between all strata, estates, and so on, and you also kind of develop it. And what’s the use? Has slavery stopped? No.

This is a camouflaged slavery, it is still here today at all levels. Man in his nature wants to subjugate his neighbor. So where is this eradicated?

Question: Education should be aimed not at erasing all the pages of history we used to have? Do not burn anything, do not break monuments? Do not remember anything, and from this moment start, as you say, the line of trying to love your neighbor?

Answer: Yes. And then you don’t have to break anything old.

Question: How is the old seen if we reach this level?

Answer: It was like that. We were all small and soiled diapers. That’s how we grew up. We did stupid things, broke dishes. We’ve all walked this way of growing up.

Question: And should have passed it?

Answer: How could it be otherwise? This is humanity, these are its natural stages of growing up. Objectively, this happened, and therefore we must not forget about it. And today we have nothing to be ashamed of and accountable for the past, nothing!

We just have to realize why nature has done it to us. This is a huge egoism that we still have today. But how can you really fix it? We must get rid of the bondage of selfishness in ourselves! Each one and everyone together. That’s all.

Comment: Then we will even be grateful for these pages of history that were. They led us to this decision.

My Response: Yes! And we will definitely have to properly possess this egoism. And if we destroy it, we remain hanging in the air.

Question: Do you believe that leaders can self-restrict on a planetary scale like is done in the Scandinavian countries? For example, in Finland, the prime minister commutes to work without security officers, and sometimes even bicycles.

It is simply impossible to imagine such a thing in certain countries of the world. No one will perceive this person as a leader. Do you think that elites are capable of self-restraint in order to save themselves?

Answer: To save themselves—yes! But I do not know whether such a time has come.

The fact that this is happening in the Scandinavian countries is explained by the special relationship between the people and the peculiarity of the national character. This is natural for them. I would say that this is a kind of frozen state, that, in general, is specific to these people.

Question: Is this possible in Israel? Is the Israeli national character capable of this?

Answer: No. This is not possible anywhere else.

Remark: But Jews are most sensitive to justice. They must be the first to achieve mutual love and equality.

My Comment: At the same time, they are the most spoiled and have the greatest egoism, which we do not see in the Scandinavian nations. There, people are very level-headed. But here, people do not feel any limitations. This is their inner state.

Question: Today, you can rent a “Ransomware” program and conduct cyberattacks on rich companies.

As payment for using the service, hackers take part of the ransom received from the victim. Payments to hackers who have carried out attacks in the United States using ransomware viruses have amounted to more than $600 million to date.

Cybercrime is growing and will continue to grow.

People are trying to defend themselves from hackers in one way or another, but they are developing even stronger viruses. Is there any protection from them?

Answer: If they came to me, I would tell them, “I am prepared to publish everything I have on the Internet, everything I have in the archive, absolutely everything! Where should I send it?”

I have nothing to hide.

Question: Do you, on the contrary, want them to hack everything you have?

Answer: But I will not tell them this.

Question: In order for them to exert? To make efforts?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Does it mean that one can come to a state where he is prepared to disclose everything?

Answer: No, this is impossible in the current state of the world. Everyone has their own secrets. But! If we come to the correction of the world, then, of course, all this will disappear due to lack of demand.

Question: When you say “correction of the world” what state will companies be in then if the world comes closer to this?

Answer: They will be complementing each other in order to better serve the population.

Comment: This is nice! So far they still do have secrets how to take from the population.

My Response: And then they will be the opposite: take everything, do what you want.

Comment: Here we have such an interesting scenario of the Creator, it seems that we were brought to this state so that I would say: “I want them to receive from me.”

My Response: I can no longer continue to live in this world, in this egoistic closed world that puts me in the framework of only for my own sake. I cannot exist like this anymore! Then people will agree to a completely opposite existence where I want others to receive from me. And I benefit from it.

Question: Can it be that these cyberattacks are leading us to this?

Answer: Of course! Everything that happens in the world is just to bring us closer to a reasonable, rational end of all of this.

Question: Will it lead us to a state where I have nothing to hide? Or where do I not want to hide anything?

Answer: All this will disappear along the way. However, this should happen through a very serious shock when a person realizes that he does not want to live in such a state anymore. There is no point to exist for the sake of chasing something illusive. All this threatens him every minute and literally sucks all the life out of him.

Therefore, it is worth switching to a different meaning, to a different paradigm of existence. Switching to bestowal instead of reception. In general, this is quite simple.

Question: Do you see this as the most natural solution for all these attacks?

Answer: Yes. People will understand that everyone has to turn themselves inside out. This will be called “for the sake of others, instead of for my own sake.” Then everything will be good!

Question: What do you think,  is people’s unwillingness to get vaccinated a manifestation of egoism, distrust of medicine, or distrust of the government?

Answer: I think that it is people’s distrust of what is going on around them. They feel the world, no matter what place they feel it from and in what way, as hostile. This is because of the government or because of healthcare or for whatever reason.

After all, everything has been bought and is under the control of circles that think only of themselves, of their own benefit. It turns out that it is going to harm me; either they need to reduce the population or to suppress people. Today a person does not believe in anything. He sees that nothing is being done for his benefit.

Therefore, naturally, no one agrees to just go and expose themselves to vaccinations, which, by the way, are not such a clear thing either. Where did they come from? What am I being injected with? How will this affect me, my genes, my offspring, and everything?

Maybe we are just infecting each other, and as a result, we will get an environment in which viruses living in us will determine everything—right down to our consciousness. There is certain logic in this.

But I do not hold on to that. I believe we need to get vaccinated.

Question: What will bring about a change in the control of the elites who manage us?

Answer: It is impossible for something to change because anyone who reaches a top position is ready to continue managing things the way it was, and no one leads to any revolutions on his watch. In order to perform changes and lead to revolutions, we need the right conditions, and we don’t see that there are such conditions because people are already used to the state they are living in.

They have been working like slaves for many years, receiving crumbs from the rich, some trips abroad, travelling, theater, cinema, television, and all kinds of things that are meant to confuse them, and this is how it goes. The people at the top, rich people and managers, live differently and that’s the way it will be. There cannot be equality all of a sudden.

Question: What can change the basic conditions?

Answer: Understanding the essence of life, the goal of life, the value of life, understanding that life is not measured by money. In order to attain this, we need a new education.

Comment: You said that we work a lot, we don’t need so many professions and so many hours of work. And you are absolutely sure of this. Irina writes to you: “I still don’t understand, but what to live on? Prices are increasing in a race with the rise in gasoline prices. I really respect Michael Laitman, it’s nice and instructive to listen to his lectures, but this is all utopia, it doesn’t happen in the real world. A person from birth is programmed by society to study and work. Parasites, homeless people, inferior, everything is clear with this, and the rest are welcome to the machine.”

My Response: Why go to the machine? Why do we need so much work?! To throw it away later?! See what is being done in the process and at the end of the production chain. How much do we throw away? 60 to 70% of everything produced, including food and so on. What are we doing?! We empty the globe, pump out everything from it.

What’s the point?! If it were all rational, then I would agree with her. But today we are already discovering that we are spending half of our time, energy, and life in order to throw it away later! We pollute nature, the air and everything else. What’s the point? It is better to sit and do nothing, it would be most useful.

Question: So what should a person do if he has nothing to live on?

Answer: I have no complaints and no advice for such a person.

Question: So you are talking about completely different people who recycle and do not know why they accumulate?

Answer: Of course.

Question: That is, here we are talking about the necessary. And how can a person determine: “This is what I need and more is all superfluous”?

Answer: An ordinary person cannot do anything about it. He works, receives almost minimum wage, and cannot do anything about it.

Question: Do you ask this person to quit his job?

Answer: No. I advise him to simply vote in the elections where he can influence, influence, and before that, to convince others how a normal, balanced life should be arranged so that everyone works, everyone receives and can exist—no more and no less, as they say.

Question: What does this mean no more and no less? What do you mean by this?

Answer: So that everyone has enough for what is necessary, enough, but not more than that.

Question: The great Kabbalist of the twentieth century Baal HaSulam wrote about the possibility of third and fourth world wars. Today, many people say that a third world war is inevitable. If it is inherent in nature and it should manifest itself in this world, then what can I change? If this is predetermined, I cannot change the course of events, only my attitude.

Answer: No, we can change absolutely everything. What is written is subject to complete change from beginning to end.

Comment: This is already encouraging. But you say that a person can only change his attitude to what is happening.

My Response: Changing your attitude is the change of fate. The whole range of possibilities is in front of you.

As we rise above our own egoism, we enter completely different states, into a different connection with nature, the Creator.

Then we feel our interaction with nature in a completely different way—a two-way channel of good-evil communication and so on. This means we begin to understand how everything works and we can pull all the strings ourselves.

Question: What is the benefit to a person from seeing the evidence of a global crisis? If he feels harm in this, he closes his eyes. How should he treat this correctly in order to feel that the awareness of this fact at every moment of time benefits him?

Answer: The fact is that people run away from this question; every second they are stuck in something, they are looking for something to do, like children in games, and that is how, in general, it all ends.

We must try to explain to them that all the tricks (and our life today is one continuous trick, so that we get distracted and do not think about tomorrow) will lead us to breaking all the foundations. And here we will have to radically solve the problem.

Kabbalists talk about an atomic war, about the terrible problems of humanity where a small fraction of people will be able to survive and begin to create a new humanity.

Question: Is there something bright for a person in realizing the current crisis? Something that would give him energy?

Answer: I think that only the spreading of the truth, where we are going, and where we can go. Ultimately, from hopelessness, humanity has already given up and does not even raise its head. It goes the way it goes. It does not understand that it is rushing to a huge “waterfall” and everything that it does will disappear without a trace. There are huge losses ahead.

Kabbalists write that only an insignificant part of humanity will remain that will again sprout on earth and build a new society. This handful of people will realize the evil of egoism and will use completely different tools to create a new society, a new life, a new paradigm.

Question: What is the correct diagnosis of the current condition?

Answer: I would describe it as a disease that has not yet entered its critical state where a person already begins to feel that he is sick, but does not know his diagnosis, cannot determine it and find an effective medicine for it.
