Conception And Destruction

562.02Comment: In the place where new life is born, in the amniotic fluid of a woman and in the cells of a newborn child, there is structured living clustered water.

In the place where life is destroyed, I mean cancer cells that do not work for balance and devour the body, these connections are broken.

My Response: Cancer is a vivid manifestation of egoism. Cancer cells form a body with huge egoistic energy that devours everything around it and eventually dies itself, because it destroys its own environment.

Naturally, the environment around cancer cells is absolutely negative and opposite to that which exists around the fetus and holds it with a huge amount of nutrients, energy, and information.

At the same time, the child is not just in the water, which protects him, like a water bottle, it is inside a huge amount of information. The mother’s body is the universe that surrounds it.

This is the difference between the kind, loving attitude of one organism to another, the mother to the fetus, and the selfish attitude that gives rise to a cancerous tumor, which, instead of giving life, destroys everything around it and dies itself.

Question: In other words, water, as a force of love and bestowal, contains the entire program for the development of life, right?

Answer: From minus to plus.

Echoes of the Inner World

963.6Question: Why are parents attached to autistic children? Can we say that this is a kind of permanent attachment at the level of souls?

Answer: Parents are very attached to such children because they begin to feel echoes of the inner world in him.

The fact is that there is a difference between the external behavior of an autistic person and his inner essence. He may be outwardly distorted, may not react outwardly, his movements and reactions, if any, are very limited. But those who communicate with him, those who are next to him, begin to understand and feel him.

They discover in these, from our point of view, unhappy people a huge inner world. When starting to communicate with autistic people, others feel how much gratitude and understanding come from them. This very much connects parents, brothers, sisters, and caregivers with such children.

Basically, we all are animals. The soul appears in us only if we develop it. Therefore, we feel each other well at the animalistic level. The only difference is that we feel this world better than autistic people. And they feel the world of inner sensations better.

The Life Force of Water

549.02Question: Why is old age always associated with dryness of the body? When a little person is conceived, his body composition consists of 95% water; for an adult it’s 70% and by old age this number drops to 45% or less.

Answer: This happens until a person completely dries up and disintegrates into dust. The presence of water indicates the support of life in him from the side of the great information of love. A newborn is closer to this force of love. Nature protects and preserves him.

Question: Scientists even conducted experiments on people from ages 7 to 40 years- old about how water reacts to them and they recorded it in photographs. At the age of 7, water formed very beautiful crystals, at 10-15, the same thing happened and by the age of 44 water acquired an ugly image of negative information.

What is this special milestone that is seemingly crossed at 40 years of age?

Answer: 40 years is a milestone when a person has effectively run through the overwhelming good attitude of the outside world toward him. Before that, the world supports him, provides him with vitality, but after this point the person begins to fade away because he is no longer in the right balance with water. The word “water” refers to the informational revitalizing force with which a person is gradually breaking-up.

Hahnemann Effect

514.04Comment: The memory effect of water has long been established in medical practice. Two hundred years ago, the German scientist Samuel Hahnemann developed a method of treatment, which he called homeopathy. By dissolving or diluting drugs in ever smaller concentrations in a neutral solution, Hahnemann discovered that not only did the effects remain, they were actually increased.

My Response: But this does not only apply to water because dilution can also be done in alcohol and in other liquids. The main thing is the dilution, which brings it to a number higher than the Avogadro number, a state when there is practically no atomic state of matter left and only some information remains. This information is introduced into the body and heals it. This is the principle on which homeopathy is based.

All homeopathic remedies are built on the similarity of the property that exists in other living objects. From inanimate, vegetative, or animal nature, it is precisely internal information that is extracted, introduced into a sick organism, and helps to heal it.

But this is not water. Water, like the Hahnemann effect, is a carrier of information.

Water—The Basis Of Life

701Question: Why do we tie life with water? What is this special quality—water?

Answer: Water is the basis of life. It is an integral component of all substances and the main component of our body by weight, volume, and importance. In general, everything around us is basically a property of water.

Even on the Moon and Mars, we are primarily looking for water. This is very remarkable and significant because everything else is based on it.

The special properties of water include the freezing point, dew point, and boiling point. Thanks to them, life is preserved under the ice and freezing occurs in very interesting patterns.

Water contributes to health improvement. Since ancient times, special mineral waters for drinking have been known. Two thousand years ago Avicenna said that human health is directly related to the water one drinks.

In those years, when we were not yet so disconnected from nature and did not use various chemical additives, water was of great importance. Therefore, mineral waters were one of the most powerful means of healing a person.

We wash ourselves with water and this is how we introduce a new wellness program to ourselves because water carries a huge amount of information. We are all in the water. Inside the mother, the child is also in the water. Even the air around us is a certain type of water structure.

“Is There a Substitute to Substance Abuse?” (Linkedin)


My new article on Linkedin “Is There a Substitute to Substance Abuse?

On June 26, the UN marked the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. The message of the Secretary-General for that day was, “We cannot allow the world’s drug problem to further shadow the lives of the tens of millions of people living through humanitarian crises. On this important day,” he suggested, “let us commit to lifting this shadow once and for all, and giving this issue the attention and action it deserves.” In my opinion, as long as people want to escape from life, and as long as drugs are so accessible, substance abuse and drug addiction will continue to plague humanity.

Life has always been tough. These days, it is even tougher for many, if not most of us. Because drugs are so accessible these days, teenagers and young adults who used to “get away from it all” by drinking or smoking, now do it with drugs, and even hard drugs. It gives them a good high, disconnects their thoughts from the pitfalls of life, and allows them to feel relieved and happy, even if it is transitory and subsequently leads to deeper downs.

Besides, drugs are good business. Too many people in top positions make too much money for the discussion about eliminating drug abuse to be relevant.

By “top positions,” I am not talking about the addicts or the dealers. I am talking about policymakers in positions that pay top dollar, whose job is to decry the plague of drug and substance abuse, and do nothing but maintain their positions.

Like many other top brass, they view their job definition not as a mission to help humanity, but as feeding the cash cow and milking it dry. In the case of drugs, the cow feeds on more addicts, and the milk is the bloated budgets that organizations for “preventing drug abuse” receive in order to perpetuate the problem while pretending to fight it.

This is why, according to the UN’s own statistics, drug sales over the dark web nearly quadrupled between 2011-2020. If there were an intention to eliminate drug abuse, those who are at the top of the system would have long been fired. But since there is no such goal, those people are hailed as heroes and their budgets are bloated even more, to cope with the “escalating” crisis.

If we want to truly deal with the issue of drug abuse, we first need to decide what we want to do with addicts. Do we want them to live, or do we want them to vanish? If it is the latter, authorities must provide them with proper conditions to live out their lives until they are gone. If we cannot convince people that there is more to life than escaping from it, we should at least enable them to escape life with dignity until they are gone.

At the same time, we should make drugs inaccessible, as simple as that. That is, if we are willing to cull the well-paying jobs of those in charge of “fighting” against drug abuse. If we genuinely choose to eliminate drugs, we should eliminate access to them. This is the first step.

Then, we should offer a substitute. Not everyone will want it, but we should nevertheless offer a substitute that can satisfy the need that pushes at least some of the people into drug abuse and other forms of escapism.

The substitute that we should offer drug users is supportive human connections. Just as the veterans from Vietnam, many of whom were heavy drug users while in service, stopped once they returned to their families, we should offer the same feeling to current addicts.

This feeling of family warmth, acceptance, and the knowledge that people care about you, is the ingredient that is being depleted from society at the fastest rate. And without confidence and a sense of security, people will be afraid to face life and will opt for escapism. Human connection is the only antidote to drug abuse. It does not cost a thing, it does not pay top dollar, it has very poor PR, but it works like a charm. Making people feel welcome and safe will make them hooked on life.

The Inner World of an Autistic Person

631.5Question: Can autistic people be engaged in correcting their soul?

Answer: Yes, there is no problem. There are of course, different degrees of correction, in a similar way as how ordinary people have different levels of development of the soul and their “I,” their human essence. After all, there are people who do not understand this and live automatically, there are more developed people, and there are those who already want to develop spiritually.

The same thing is true for autistic people. Among them are individuals who are in very deep inner processes, there are those who are between the two states, and there are those who are unable to carry out spiritual processes, i.e., they act like most people in our world who mechanically deal with a narrow specific area such as mathematics or computers.

This attracts them since these are absolute things that are in their control, do not involve contact with other people, and are not under the control or changes of others.

This gives them a sense of security, a base from which they can walk, and somewhere they can find themselves, like a closed room, like something of mine, my order, and everything in which I keep myself. Otherwise, they simply do not understand and will, in a sense, fly away. For them, this condition is very disturbing because they yearn to be only in a limited space.

It is the same with math and computers. A place that has a very clear question and answer and rigid communication is clear for them, understandable, and therefore attractive.

“What is the highest cause of cancer?” (Quora)

Dr. Michael LaitmanMichael Laitman, On Quora: What is the highest cause of cancer?

Cancer is an outcome of the human ego, which is a desire to enjoy at the expense of others and nature. It is a phenomenon that is very close to spirituality: cells suddenly begin to consume their own environment, and then they themselves die. Nonetheless, however, they begin to consume their own environment. Usually, we more or less correctly relate to the environment that we live off, but then without being aware of it, we destroy our environment as if to our own benefit, and then we die. We can see how such a scenario sometimes plays out, whether between countries and neighbors.

Similarly to how we relate to each other egoistically, the ego also dwells in each and every one of our cells, and it can turn some cells against others.

As long as human society behaves egotistically, we will continue having cancer. Moreover, among all illnesses, cancer will especially continue developing among us. However, it does not work in a direct manner. That is, just because someone is a bigger egoist than others, it does not mean that such a person will have cancer. It could happen to the best of us without any apparent reason.

According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, a cure for cancer requires dealing with our ego. Also, the ego is behind literally every negative phenomenon, problem and crisis that we suffer from. Therefore, by correcting the human ego, i.e. by inverting the desire to enjoy at the expense of others and nature, to a desire to enjoy by benefiting others and nature, we would not only cure cancer, but we would enter into a harmonious, peaceful and healthy existence free from disease and every other problem.

“The Complexities of the Connection between Looks and Happiness” (Medium)


Medium published my new article “The Complexities of the Connection between Looks and Happiness

With teenagers and young adults spending much (too much) of their time on TikTok, Instagram, and other social media platforms, the flood of videos of attractive young people shapes their views on how they, too, must look. With their body image shaped and carved by the curves of models, a barrage of messages tells our children: “You don’t look good enough! You need to lose more weight! You have to lift more weights!” And because their body image can never meet the standard set by social media, they are condemned to incurable frustration and insecurity.

Were we not social beings, we would not mind our looks. Animals could care less about their looks. They only care about their physical strength.

For us, looks are everything. We cannot go anywhere or achieve anything without meeting the required visual standard. Whatever the society we’re in respects, we must adopt. Otherwise, we are excluded from society. This is why we are so insecure about our looks.

The standards of society are created by unrealistic films, TV series, and photoshopped images. We, who cannot meet the unachievable benchmark, are left insecure and frustrated. We would be much more relaxed and much less affected by looks were it not for the influence of the media.

Without the influence of the environment, we would wash our faces and hands in the morning and that would conclude our “grooming.” But we cannot settle for this; we have to shower, shave, put on makeup, pick through our wardrobe, and do everything else that we do in the morning just to feel presentable enough to face the day.

These days, it is as true of men as it is true of women. In a generation where appearance means everything, and substance means nothing, we have no choice but to comply.

My teacher, RABASH, used to say that if he had the choice, he would never change from the pajamas he slept in. They were warm, cozy, with big pockets, and who could ask for more?

People on secluded islands always look disheveled. It is not because they are poor and cannot afford to shave or shower or buy clothes. Because they are alone, they have no need to impress anyone and no dress code to meet. Therefore, they have no regard for their looks. They could be strong and healthy, yet look a mess, since appearance is only for the onlookers.

The significance of looks does not begin at adolescence. Even three-year-olds feel it. They may not understand it at that age, but they are already influenced by social codes.

As with adults, so it is with children. If we want them to increase the importance of substance over appearance, of personality over looks, we must inculcate these values into their society. As a result, everyone within that society will adopt this line of thought.

Conversely, if we want our children to fit into the social code of appearance so they would be popular in their age group, we have to do it very carefully. If, for example, a girl is overweight but cannot maintain a diet, we must not comment on her weight. On the contrary, we should help her accept who she is just as she is. If, however, we know that we can help her lose weight and improve her image among her friends, we should encourage her to do so.

Either way, a confident person will not be put down. People do not mock people’s appearance if they seem at ease with it.

As for looking aesthetic, this is a different story. I do not think we should look disheveled or rumpled or unclean when in society. We should not look repulsive, but maintain our appearance in a manner that is pleasant for the people around us. This has nothing to do with looks, but with mutual consideration and decency toward the people around us. And this is true not only for me, but also for my children; they, too, need to be presentable.

In conclusion, if we want to prevent unnecessary frustration and insecurity, we need to install a more balanced body-image in society, one that does not require people to starve themselves or exercise to exhaustion.

To Kill or Cover with Love

13.07Comment: Victor writes: “You contradict yourself. On one hand, you call for covering evil with love. On the other hand, you recall the words from the Bible: “He who comes to kill you, kill him first.” How does it all fit together?”

My Response: These are laws, and there is nothing one can do about it. If a person comes to kill you, then you must kill him first. There is no choice here.

Question: When does the second law apply, the one you are talking about, the main one, that “evil must be covered with love“?

Answer: Love your neighbor as yourself.

Question: How does it all connect?

Answer: It does not connect. If someone wants to kill you, there is no other choice. Which means, you have to kill him first.

Question: What should my attitude be to the fact that he came to kill me? Like to evil that came to me?

Answer: Yes, as to a person who comes to kill you, and you have to kill him so that this evil will not be manifested in the world anymore.

Question: When does this law “to cover evil with love” arise?

Answer: This is not about killing. We are talking about the fact that one shows evil to the other. Therefore, the other one has to show him an example that is opposite of this.

Question: So, are these two different laws?

Answer: Two completely different levels. One, you cut off, and the second, you cover and correct.
