Comment: Last week there was an auction in Munich in a special antique shop and 169 Nazi relics were sold, among them personal items that belonged to Hitler, Goring, Eva Brown, and others. All the items were sold instantly.

In addition to that, not only sales of the book Mein Kampf are growing, but the history of Nazi Germany is being openly published now. Why do people need these things?

Answer: There is a great demand in Europe for anything that is related to WWII because it is about the people’s past. It is related to their fathers, their grandfathers, and their great grandfathers.

If we don’t correct people and don’t re-educate them ,they will certainly develop egoistically, which is actually the way we all develop, and they will look for these old relics in order to strengthen their hearts.

This is also the reason that new Nazi parties will emerge, and we cannot escape it. Nothing will help stop this process except for the proper education, the right approach to this question! Humanity actually wants to stop the re-emergence of Nazism, but it will be impossible because the natural evolution of the ego will lead us back to national socialism.

Question: On the one hand, you say that we need the right education, and the other hand, you add that it is already impossible to implement it in Europe. How can all this be connected?

Answer: Education is the answer, but who will engage in it?!

Only our organization Bnei Baruch, which was specifically founded for this goal. But this requires very serious work including the participation of thousands of our members all over the world who should start giving courses in every language and reach everyone through the media.

Because this is such a serious problem, these studies must be compulsory for all! Without the correction of the population of Europe, we will not manage to unite it and it will end in the eruption of a new war. I believe that if people truly understand the impending threat, they will be ready to deal with it.

Question: Can the upper forces affect others through one person?

Answer: The upper force always affect us through other people. It is quite rare when it happens directly and only when a person summons them unto himself because he already has his own communication channel with them.

If a person summons the influence of the upper forces unto himself it operates on him directly, and if it doesn’t, it operates through the still, vegetative, or animate levels of nature.

Question: How does the Light that a person draws while studying the wisdom of Kabbalah affect other people?

Answer: The Light affects everyone in a positive manner because we are forcibly connected to each other in one system called Adam (Man). Therefore, if I draw the Light, I become a source of Light on that level and it spreads through me to others. The only problem is how to draw more Light.

The Jews have the method, and if they drew the right Light, everyone would treat them better. But since they don’t draw the Light and don’t spread it around them, people feel that they “steal” their happiness and are the source of all the troubles in the world.

Thus we can understand to what degree each of us can be a source of Light for others.

Question: Does a spiritual record of the path we passed remain in us?

Answer: We retain absolutely all spiritual information of everything we passed through during history. Now, we must gradually summon its manifestation in us and implement it.

Therefore, the dissemination of Kabbalistic knowledge should be directed first toward those who feel directly concerned about it.

Question: Do you think of the ten lost tribes whose location is unknown at this point?

Answer: No, this is none of my business. My job is to deal with those who wish to go forward. Gradually, we scatter the seeds of knowledge to all those who have a desire to learn about the spiritual world, to achieve the purpose of his life, to “enter the land of Israel,” and to realize it now in this life.

Question: Is it possible to say that your non-Jewish students somehow relate to the lost tribes?

Answer: At the moment, it doesn’t matter. After all, if a person has the desire, then he is ready to attain the spiritual world.

People from all around the world come to our congresses, they spend money and time just to be with us for a few days. How strong and high this desire is! We must respect, love, and worship them, not the external shell, but the desire toward the Creator that He revives in them.

Question: When you say that you love a person, does it mean that you love just this point in him?

Answer: Just this! Nothing else! All of the rest is an animal that lives today and dies tomorrow.

Question: Do you have a prayer that this desire will continue to live in a person, that he would manage to hold onto it with his teeth?

Answer: I keep a constant prayer for all the students as much as is possible from my side. The rest depends on them. Freedom of choice is given to each one, and each one must realize it. We hope that it will happen with all in the world.

The disciples continued the work of Abraham and developed his method. But in the meantime, their egoism grew more and more, meaning they became enslaved by it and found themselves in the Egyptian exile. The evil Pharaoh who rules over them is revealed.

This doesn’t mean that they moved to Egypt physically. But they felt that the evil force within themselves had gained such power over them that they couldn’t cope with it.

The egoism became much more powerful than the good force that was left in them from the times of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The evil force erupted and it was impossible to hold it back.

The children of Israel wanted to come together, work on their unity,  and draw the good force, but they couldn’t. This brought many sorrows upon them and sparked internecine strife. Eventually they realized that they just must run away from this evil force. Allegorically it is said that the children of Israel fled from Egypt, from the slavery of the Pharaoh.

They succeeded in disconnecting from the evil force, but nothing else. They didn’t know how to attract the good force yet. And only once they disconnected from the force of evil did they reach the good force and begin to reveal its hidden presence between them. The force of evil remained, but they already knew how to protect themselves from it, i.e., the mutual hatred.

They realized that they were standing around Mt. Sinai, a mountain of hatred (Sina) and that to cope with this negative force was possible only through revelation of the positive force.

Mt. Sinai is a mountain of hatred that is revealed within each of us. In every person in this group is an ability to raise a special force, a desire, a special yearning above his hatred. It means that they connect between themselves and rise like Moses, meaning Mashiach, the one that pulls (Moshech) them from the egoism and ascends the mountain.

Through this common force, by their joint efforts, they are able to rise above their hatred. This way they attain the upper positive force of nature and feel that it has created everything and controls everything. And it also created the evil inclination in a person specially so that through it, through the negative force that is opposite to the positive force of the Creator, he would reveal the good force and would exist between these two forces.

And when they rise above all their hatred and reach contact with the upper force, which is called Moses ascends Mt. Sinai, they feel that because of this fact their egoism grows even more. It turns out that at a time when one of their forces rises to the top of the mountain, the second force builds a golden calf at its base.

However, the main fact is that they discovered the good force of nature and from this moment on it is possible to be in contact with it.

Question: What is the benefit people developing spiritually, if they can, and so to receive maximum pleasure in the physical world?

Answer: If they can get pleasure, let them live the way they are. The Creator gradually develops a person’s egoistic senses until he realizes that his existence is insignificant, temporary, and does not carry any meaning.

The wisdom of Kabbalah doesn’t appeal to people who are still fulfilled with physical pleasures. On the contrary, the Kabbalists hid it for many years until we reached the “edge” in the framework of the general world crisis, which only now is beginning to develop significantly.

The crisis leads us to a state in which we need to answer the question about the meaning of life. Without it nobody would want to exist: Either give me the answer to this question, or I’ll kill myself.

The person will feel the finiteness, the limitation, the nothingness of all of the passing physical fulfillments, so much so that he will not want anything, even if a tremendous pleasure is “shining” in front of him.

The reason that people are becoming depressed and need drugs is because they don’t want to deal with this state of emptiness and reception of pleasure, reception of pleasure and emptiness. They don’t see any ultimate meaning in this. They prefer to inject themselves with something and shut down.

Our development doesn’t permit us to live like a little child who constantly enjoys various empty things. So we have reached a state in which the wisdom of Kabbalah is beginning to be unfold to humanity.

Question: If we imagine that humanity, as a huge and very powerful body, suddenly feels a certain cell inside it has become altruistic, would the body divert all its energy to destroy this cell?

Answer: We Kabbalists feel it on ourselves. Throughout history Kabbalists have been terribly humiliated even by people who were closest to them. Today this is also the kind of attitude that those who study the wisdom of Kabbalah encounter. It is hard to say that this study is recommended and that it is welcomed and appreciated by others. The great egoistic mechanism is working on suppressing the altruistic cell.

Unfortunately the world’s attitude toward the wisdom of Kabbalah cannot be positive. It is negative, disrespectful, contemptuous, and based especially on fear and wrong assumptions. Our ego comes up with anything one can imagine: practices, mysticisms, and beliefs in order to draw people away from the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Question: Won’t this ever change?

Answer: It has to change. I believe that it will happen in our generation. We may undergo some more unpleasant experiences, but eventually everything will change.

Question: If you say that this is human nature, then you don’t blame those who oppose you.

Answer: I don’t blame them, what can I blame them for? They have no freewill. The Creator is managing them. Of course, I don’t like the cane that hits me, but I cannot attribute any importance to it or attribute freewill and independent decision making to them since everything is managed from Above. Therefore, when I hear about such attacks against me and our world organization I see them as an incentive in our work and confirmation of the fact that the Creator doesn’t forget us.

Question: Doesn’t it worry you that these forces can stop our dissemination?

Answer: I have to do my job in spite of everything that happens.

Question: You write that anti-Semitism is a natural phenomenon and so it is possible to study it and influence it. As far as it seems, it is impossible to explain this fully in one article.

But even the practical way that you suggest is very abstract. How can we come to our senses and create the same warm atmosphere you speak about? Are there more concrete suggestions? What can I do today?

Answer: You can do only one thing: Join our organization and begin to study the method of integral consolidation. I cannot explain this in two words. In our organization, whose branches exist in dozens of nations all around the world, close to two million people are studying. We publish books in all languages, publicize our material and give free access to them on the Internet.

First you must discover and know who you are, what you are, why you exist and not only you, but the whole world. You can clarify where we are moving, what we must do, in what manner we can correct our situation, what nature is pushing us toward, and how to reach the next level of our development. If we don’t discover this, then we cannot realize our mission and then things will be bad for us.

Question: As far as I understand, important spiritual discoveries and inventions occur in a certain frequency. Can we say that ascent and thirst for spiritual information is cyclical?

Answer: Yes, there are different periods in human evolution that are more intensive or less intensive, etc.

We live in a very special time, the cornerstone of an intense period of mankind’s development, when all his past development of systematized, stored, connected, and integrated evolution has come to one common denominator—to the conclusion that the world now needs to reverse and change from reception to bestowal. Therefore, currently we are experiencing a very serious step in the evolution of mankind!

We should be thankful to the Creator for the opportunity He has given us; as Baal HaSulam says: “I am glad that I have been born in such a generation when it is permitted to disclose the wisdom of truth.”

We are witnessing increasingly greater changes today because we are implementing what Baal HaSulam and Rabash prepared for us. We are the souls who pave the road for all the other souls to the Creator’s palace, to adhesion with the upper force, to the ascent up the 125 levels of the upper worlds! We are laying the foundations for the revelation of the Creator.

Our situation is the most critical in all of human history, because this is the first time we encounter such changes. Like a ray of light in complete darkness, distant and totally different particles that have been shattered and dispersed in the great dark space of the general soul are now gathering and beginning to reunite into one whole!

It is great joy that it all happens with us and to us, joy that we are the ones to be rewarded by it! Therefore, we must make greater efforts in order to comply the one creation and to resemble it.

Comment: According to a recent survey in France, about 60% of French citizens believe that the Jews are partly responsible for the growing anti-Semitism in France. 56% believe that the Jews are very influential and that they are richer than the average Frenchman; 40% say that their presence in the media is exaggerated and 13% claim that there are too many Jews in France. Generally speaking, the French don’t like the Jews.

Answer: Of course, that’s the way it has always been. The French dislike the Jews more than all other nations. But now the inclination toward anti-Semitism will grow all over the world because the world has reached a state in which it is obliged to correct itself and this cannot be delayed any longer. The general global egoism cannot develop any further, and so it begins to devour itself. And consequently more and more hatred is manifested.

People will suffer from the growing egoism and will not find a way to get rid of it. They will instinctively feel that the Jews have the key for the correction, but are not fulfilling their mission. Therefore along with the growing egoism, the subconscious hatred toward the Jews will grow, indicating that they are responsible for everything. The truth is that they are to blame, not for the sufferings, but for the fact that they don’t heal humanity of their sufferings.

Comment: But the Jews themselves don’t really understand that.

Answer: The Jews don’t understand that and neither do the nations of the world.

Question: So what do we want of the Jews?!

Answer: Nothing. We want Kabbalists who understand the essence of egoism to explain it as soon as possible to everyone, even to those who don’t want to hear. We have to go out and cry out on every street corner, everywhere, and in every possible way, through the media, in every language, all over the world, both to Jews and to the peoples of the world.

This is the only way that we can make people gradually listen to us. There will be more and more blows; we will feel bad and they will feel bad, and eventually everyone will listen to why the nations of the world hate the Jews, and especially the Jews will hear why the nations of the world hate us.

Then the Jews will begin to study the wisdom of Kabbalah and will unite, setting an example for the other nations of the world, which will gladly begin to unite around the Jews. It is like sourdough that you add to dough which begins to ferment. And the Jewish people perform the role of the sourdough. This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah says and we cannot escape it.

But now the starter is not performing its function, and so people feel natural hatred towards us. When one of the nations calls out to a Jew: “I hate you and I will kill you,” they mean” just show us how to connect and unite and we will follow you.”

Question: Why do the people of the world believe that the reason for their troubles is the lack of connection between the Jews?

Answer: It is instinctive; they don’t actually know why and how.

Question: What is the magical thing?

Answer: The source of power is in this connection, the wellbeing of the whole world, because it is actually in the connection between them, between all the parts that are opposite from creation, especially on the highest level, on the human level, that there is a great force that will bring goodness, warmth, and wellbeing to our world. This connection reveals perfection and eternity.

The Jews have to be the first to unite and set an example for the whole world that demands it from them. This is exactly what we Kabbalists have to tell the whole world. We should show, teach, and set an example, which means to be Light unto the nations of the world.

Question: I am amazed by the relatively massive criticism that you and your organization receive.

Answer: I don’t agree with you. I am amazed by the relatively little amount of criticism that we receive.

After all, we tell the world what people hate most of all, that they must rid themselves of their egoistic nature and acquire a new, altruistic nature, not the fictitious altruistic nature that we often see in our world, but the true altruistic nature that has nothing to do with our egoistic nature. A person cannot even imagine what that is.

The wisdom of Kabbalah is called the wisdom of truth, and it is about love for others only regardless of yourself. We must reach the state of love of others through our own yearning, not by coercion. Now is actually the time that such a period is beginning in human evolution, and our organization is aiming at creating the right conditions for bringing humanity to this state.

But who likes to hear about that? This is the reason that we have so many critics. Although they don’t understand anything about this method, it is the actual goal that arouses such hate in them. We, on the other hand, must continue to reveal the essence of the wisdom of Kabbalah according to our sources to the entire world.
