The Essence of the Prayer

534Question: Suppose we discover that we have a disease of distancing from the Creator. We know that unification will cure us of this disease. What should the essence of the prayer be? Should we ask for unification so that the disease will go away? Or should we simply ask for unification without telling the Creator what problem we want to be healed from?

Answer: We must ask for unification and ask for rapprochement. As a consequence of this, some problems will go away, and perhaps others will arise at a higher level. But this way we will move forward.

Question: Should we include the name of the disease in the prayer?

Answer: No, we cannot determine the name.

Question: So if there is a war, then should we simply ask for unification without mentioning in the prayer that we are asking for rapprochement so that the Creator will save us from war?

Answer: No, when things like war happen, we can ask by naming the problem and asking for salvation from it.

Universal Allergy

600.02Question: Why are there so many allergies now? What is an allergy?

Answer: An allergy is unresponsiveness, a negative reaction to something.

What does it mean: “I’m allergic to you”? That is, I do not tolerate you, I have a negative reaction to you, I have unpleasant feelings while being in contact with you. This is an allergy. Today, it is manifested in absolutely everything. The fact is that we have poisoned everything that gets into us: air, water, and food.

After all, a person is a factory for processing what goes inside him. And all we take in are poisons, the type our body cannot process.

These are not natural poisons like eating spoiled fish, meat, fruits, or vegetables. You made such modified products yourself; you polluted the water and air yourself, which cause unnatural reactions in our body. Therefore, the body simply rebels, it does not know how to cope with it.

Allergies manifest themselves in us in almost everything. It is the basis of all disease, all our problems at the sensory, mental, and at any level, because we have been viciously poisoning ourselves for at least 100 years.

Who Decides Whether to Live or Die?

627.2Question: I was very impressed by a story. A dying young man wrote a farewell letter because the doctors did not think he had even two months to live. Then his girlfriend came along and said she was pregnant. He said he literally felt the disease go away. He recounts that suddenly, confidence came and that was it, he was healthy. Many years have passed since then. His first daughter is already married and will soon be a mother. There is another daughter and a son. He reread his dying letter on camera and asked: “How can I tell people that we decide whether to live or die? It is only necessary, and this is very important, that we have a reason to live.”

Is it really in the power of a person to interfere in the upper providence, or is this some kind of an accident?

Answer: Of course, not every person is given an opportunity to turn around his fate. To do this, he must already be somehow prepared from the inside. And he should be willing to give up everything he has in the name of truth. Then everything can work out for him.

Question: Does he say: “I want the truth, and I am looking for the truth.” And then everything can recede: illness, death, and everything else?

Answer: Yes, then a completely new phase of life will come, and he will be given the opportunity to evaluate this truth and come closer to it.

Question: What if there is a feeling that I have to live in order to support this life that is being born now? He was about to have a child, and he realized that he had to raise this life. Can this also be a partial search for the truth, such a transformation inside a person?

Answer: Of course. This is the reason to live and get over the past and start anew. That is, it is a complete transformation of a person.

Question: There are a lot of people who are in such states now. At this moment should they direct their thoughts at some such dramatic moment, to this transformation in life, do you think?

Answer: If a person is directed like this, then yes. But if not, then no. It does not depend on the person.

Question: Is there any way to cause this? To pray for this somehow?

Answer: It depends on a person’s preparation, on what he did in life, on the root of his soul.

Question: We do not know that. Is this a secret?

Answer: Not that this is a very deep secret, but not everyone is given this.

Inadequate People

560All people on Earth are divided into numerous different stages of attainment, development, and sensations.

First of all, they are divided into five parts according to the basic principles of creation, which is divided into five levels. Each level into another five, and another five, and so on.

This division occurs based on the intensity of desire and the possibility of its attainment, meaning in the heart (desire) and mind.

Question: It is believed that 20% of people on Earth are practically inadequate, with deviations from the norm. What is their role in the overall process?

Answer: They are carriers of information and, in turn, also participants in the general process, including even those people who are completely disconnected from the world, from life. They were born, let’s say, autistic or with other mental impairments that cannot be cured, and they are practically withdrawn into themselves, unresponsive to us.

But we must understand that we have no right to destroy them as it was done in ancient Greece, Nazi Germany, or India (where there was a law concerning widows who were burned along with their deceased husbands).

These people, regardless of their form of existence, ultimately serve as a buffer for all the problems of human society. Our problems are as if loaded unto them, and they carry with them certain information about humanity, being next to us. That is why we have no right to treat them badly but, on the contrary, we must treat them with compassion and help them to the best of our ability.

They carry a part of the human load, and even more—the heavy part.

Question: But it is like a suspended layer of information? How can we interact with it?

Answer: It is impossible to discuss these matters with people who do not see the whole nature from inside. They do not understand their own participation in nature, and especially those who are sick from our point of view.

Only when you see the true picture of creation do you begin to understand their role, that there is nothing in nature that is created in vain, and there is nothing bad in it.

Psychological Deviations and a Person’s Inner Development

508.1Question: According to Kabbalah should we treat mentally unstable people or is it better to leave them alone?

Answer: In general Kabbalah does not have an objective to treat a person. If one wants to study Kabbalah, he has this opportunity. Nowadays the wisdom of Kabbalah is becoming open to all. It does not matter who studies it, a Jew or non-Jew, a healthy person or one with psychological problems; the Internet is open for all. Feel free to study.

There are no limitations to study Kabbalah, it cannot be closed for someone or graduated based on certain conditions. It cannot be this way. This cannot be because every person has to achieve the goal of his creation. He cannot remain at that animal level where he exists. This is the spiritually inanimate level.

Comment: But Kabbalah attracts many people with a predisposition, for example, for schizophrenia.

My Response: This is natural! If you enter the psychology or psychiatry department at any university you will see that half of the students there are with such inclinations because they are attracted to this!

Whereas people with an aptitude for technical studies whose brains work “1+1=2” go into technology. People who are inclined to grow not up, but down become educators, teachers.

I do not want to insult anyone; I am just talking about people’s inclinations, what they want to deal with: some of them with metal, others with human material, a third kind with children, a fourth kind with stars, and so forth.

Basically, these social and psychological inclinations do not matter for our inner spiritual development. They are not reflected whatsoever in spiritual development. Such a difference between people exists only at the corporeal level.

When the Time Comes to Turn to the Creator

627.2Question: Dale Carnegie, American psychologist, speaker, and writer, wrote books that gave hope to people. Millions of copies of his books How to Win Friends and Influence People, How to Enjoy Your Life and Job, and How to Develop Self-Confidence and Influence People by Public Speaking were sold. Carnegie was called a seller of happiness and a teacher of humanity. But he was unhappy. During the last years of his life, he was very lonely. The reason for his suffering at the end of his life was that he got lymphatic cancer. After the doctors told him about it, he couldn’t forgive them.

He fell into a terrible depression. It is not known whether he died naturally or committed suicide, but he was in such loneliness without friends.

When troubles came, it turned out that everything was jus theoretical. His books touted that diseases come from the isolation of a person and that one should have a lot of friends because then you are open and not subject to depression. He himself became he lonely and depressed, and that is how he died. Tell me, how does this happen?

Answer: Every person has a certain threshold of sensitivity of where he can overcome his suffering and what befalls him, and where he is no longer in the right state to overcome. He had this threshold, he lived through it and gave up.

Question: Another question is if it is possible to agree with the diagnosis, to agree that now is your final time, and not fall into depression, not distance yourself, and not die alone.

Answer: In the end, every dying person agrees with this. Where can a person go? In principle, he understands practically. In the last days, hours, and minutes of his life, he is no longer in the euphoria in which he was born. He already understands that it is all coming to the end.

Question: So this understanding comes to a person and he calms down?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Do you have any advice if say a person receives, God forbid, some bad news? How can he continue to swim? Carnegie fell into such a state, into depression, loneliness, and withdrawal. Even though he preached something else.

Answer: Everyone is still looking for some kind of salvation.

There is no escape from this. There are still thoughts that you are already in the hands of the Creator. And He does what He wants with you. And you can only, if you want, pray to anyone, however you want. But in general, this is what remains to a person.

Question: And how do you survive these minutes, hours, days, or months? Is there any way to direct the ones that go through this?

Answer: The way to direct thoughts correctly is only if you read Kabbalistic articles. I can’t say anything else. This directs you—your thoughts, your desires, and eventually your soul in the right direction, to the right goal.

Question: Why? What is in them?

Answer: Rapprochement with the Creator, a real, true rapprochement with the Creator.

Question: So you’re saying that I’m kind of locked in this little world of mine and that’s the trouble? And so do I have to open it almost indefinitely? And swim like this?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is there an article that you like the most in such cases?

Answer: “There Is None Else Besides Him.”

Question: This is the first article from the book Shamati (I Heard), the crown of this book is “There Is None Else Besides Him.”

When reading it, does peace come or something else?

Answer: Peace comes. Humbleness comes. And joy comes after that. And the joy is very great because you begin to believe that this world exists according to its upper program, and not just that nature thus removes us from its path.

Question: Is it possible to reach this point earlier?

Answer: You can get to this earlier, but you still have to go through this period.

Question: Are we coming to this article anyway?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Do you think doctors should tell a patient that he is on the verge, that everything is over, that he is now in the last stage of the disease and he is dying?

Answer: I think doctors need to say this to patients. And to say that it is time to turn to the Creator.

Question: Is it right for the doctor to say so directly?

Answer: Yes. That now everything is in the hands of the Creator, and not in the hands of doctors. And a person should turn to Him. I believe that this will be true and open.

How to Overcome Stress?

565.02Question: Why is the first reaction of a person under stress to get drunk or take some kind of sedative? Is there any substitute for this?

Answer: The best substitute is not to be alone with the cause of the stress, to break away from it. This happens if I am in a group that immediately starts discussing the cause of stress and working with it, that gives me all sorts of advice, their empathy, and solves this problem for me.

This is the only real solution because it is a solution. It is not escaping it, not postponing for the future, but working together with others on what caused stress in me.

Others understand my stressful state and take it upon themselves. And I, understanding that they take it upon themselves, as if, overcome the stress. Then I feel that, in principle, I received this state precisely in order to pass it on to them and so that by engaging in this and correcting the cause of stress, they would connect even more with each other.

This can be compared to the way some organ in the body begins to send an SOS, and the whole body instantly comes to its aid and takes it upon itself to compensate for the problem in which it found itself.

Thus, shifting the problem to the rest of the body, it gets out of it. This is the only way to really correct any cause of any stress.

The Brain of the Mentally Ill

13.03Question: Very often we associate a person’s appearance with some way. Let’s say I have a friend who looks and thinks a certain way, and all of a sudden he goes crazy. But, in principle, outwardly it looks as usual, but it is not at all adequate. What’s going on with him?

Very often we associate a person’s appearance with a certain image. Let’s say I have a friend who looks and thinks a certain way, and he all of a sudden becomes mentally ill. However, in principle, he looks as usual externally, but he is absolutely inadequate. What is happening to him?

Answer: There are problems in the brain. There are no diseases as such, we are not ill with anything. Our disease is an incorrect perception of reality at the inanimate, vegetative, animate, or human level.

Our brain is a holographic system that is connected to the brain of the universe, with all the brains, if I may say so, of inanimate, vegetative, animate, or human beings at the general level of information, energy, that archives transmission of all data and their reproduction.

We all represent one single system, only each of us feels it as much as he can enter into it, solidify, and work in it.

Why is Kabbalah called “the science of reception”? Although each of us is now on the far periphery of this common, global holographic device of the entire universe, Kabbalah allows a person to enter it and perceive everything that is happening within the immense collective desire and thought on all levels.

It is like a holographic image that is created with lasers at different angles and which can then absorb an absolutely infinite amount of information. But while each of us has not yet entered this picture, he perceives only his small part. Therefore, sometimes he perceives it from a certain broken angle. In the material world, this is characterized by us as some kind of psychological, psychiatric problems.

Kabbalah tunes a person to enter and exist within this n-dimensional holographic picture. Then for him there will be no problems of time, distance, all kinds of past, present, and future events, as well as movements at the levels of this hologram, when he sees it from different angles, from different sides and all together.

This is the state we must achieve. This holographic volumetric system is the authentic universe.

Question: Can a person with mental disorders undergo correction?

Answer: No, they cannot because they have a problem with perceiving reality in the correct sequence, and they are unable to be in contact with us.

Such people have always existed. But as humanity gets closer and closer to the correct entry into the general hologram of the universe, it will be easier for us to work with them, and fewer people will have mental problems.

How Do Words Affect Matter?

627.2Question: I heard about an experiment that was conducted where people wrote various words on bottles containing water. They froze the bottles of water and examined the structure of the ice crystals that developed under a microscope. These formations were very different from each other.

Some were beautiful, and some, on which such words as, for example, “war” or “death” were written, were not. How do words affect matter?

Answer: It does not matter how, but all words and thoughts affect matter. We live in one common world where inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature, and a person’s thoughts and feelings are all combined into one single system in which everything is interconnected. I hope people will gradually understand that we have to think about what we are saying.

Question: Is there a connection between oncological diseases and a person’s thoughts?

Answer: They say that the negative thoughts and words of a person have a bad effect on him and other people.

Elderly People and Children: A Protective Reaction of the Body

503.02Question: It is believed that elderly people and children have a lot in common, but they have different levels of consciousness. Elderly people start having memory problems.  Children simply do not understand somethings, and some elderly people instantly forget what is happening. Why is it like this?

Answer: In both children and adults, this is a reaction of the body that protects itself from unnecessary influences. Children’s bodies just protect them from being overloaded with unnecessary information that can harm them. For elderly people, this is how protection is expressed as their body is no longer able to implement this information. Therefore, their gradual decline occurs.

The factor of the environment is very important here; it makes people work and constantly generates new sensations, qualities, and attainments.

Therefore, studying Kabbalah can radically change a person. We are not talking about fate, not about the length of life, how long a person is given to live, but, in principle, “how to live” is of great importance because if people were engaged in spiritual development, their quality of life would be completely different.
