Comment: You say that everyone has their own path.

My Response: Of course!

Question: What does it depend on?

Answer: Within the global nature of humanity, we are so different so that, precisely through our future connection, we will create one universal structure called “Man” (Adam).

Question: Will everyone have their own place?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Every nation?

Answer: Of course! I may be spinning at tremendous speed, others spin more slowly, and still others even more slowly, it is just like in our body there are systems that operate with tremendous speed and intensity, while others function much more slowly. You can compare the fingernails and toenails. Fingernails grow about a millimeter a week, while the toenails grow about a millimeter a month. Each has its own rate, even though it is seemingly the same tissue.

Comment: Yet it is one organism.

My Response: Yes.

Question: You mentioned the goal. Is the goal the same for everyone or not?

Answer: The goal is the same for everyone. But who actually knows what it is? If we knew that we all have one goal, we would agree with one another. We would begin searching together for how to attain that goal.

But instead, we feel that everyone has their own. Egoism tears us apart and does not allow us to feel that we all must move together toward one goal.

Question: Can we nevertheless come to this? Will we be brought toward this one goal or not?

Answer: I think it must become clarified from within.

Question: What is that goal?

Answer: The goal is very simple: to attain the meaning of life.

Question: And what is it?

Answer: The meaning of life? It is to attain its meaning.

Questions: So the question arises, and I must?

Answer: When I attain the meaning of life, I feel absolutely fulfilled! I know why I exist. I know who governs me, to whom I turn, what I am carrying out at every moment of my existence, and where I am going. Ever new horizons open before me. I feel like a child who has entered Disneyland. And all of it is incredible! All of it is a fairy tale! This is how a person should feel when revealing the Creator’s plan.

Question: Does everyone have their own meaning of life, or not?

Answer: Everyone will enjoy it individually, because that is how we are made. But each will enjoy it from the fact that they are constantly connecting with others. The revelation of this spiritual “Disneyland” comes from the fact that we reveal the integral connections between us more and more. And they will be revealed precisely as the attainment of the upper world. It is a serious adventure.

Question: So now you have come to the conclusion that the goal of a person is to attain the upper world?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is that the goal of a person?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And what is the upper world? We are speaking to people who do not study Kabbalah. Simply put, what does it mean to attain the upper world?

Answer: It is to attain the harmony of the interaction of all the completely different forces of nature. And to feel that harmony when you see how all problems, actions, thoughts, aspirations—everything, throughout all times—join together, and all of it turns out to be harmoniously interconnected, so necessary for one another, that the revelation of this harmony is the revelation of the thought of Creation, the Creator’s plan.

Question: And you constantly speak about revealing harmonious relationships between people. Is that included in this?

Answer: Of course! Naturally. That is the highest degree of all this harmony.

Question: The highest degree? That we are all harmoniously connected?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And this is the purpose of a person’s life—to discover this harmony?

Answer: Yes.

Attaining The Meaning Of Life

Question: How do we connect our hearts?

Answer: Through aspiration. When you feel that you are reaching out to others and you receive some response from them as well: “Oh!” Then you feel that one heart has truly opened, and then another, a common space begins to appear and between them.

Within that common space, love is already felt along with understanding, mutuality, and connection. There is a lack of life force, but not an animalistic one; rather, spiritual life force. I can feel it only if I connect with another person in this way.

Question: So, when a person says, “I have no strength.” Even though he has food and money, he says, “I have no strength, I simply have no strength to live.” Does this mean that he is searching for another heart?

Answer: Yes! Unconsciously, he feels that he has no one to live for. After all, life is built on giving birth, raising children, bestowing to others, and receiving the same from them. This mutual fulfillment of one another—that is life. It is impossible to give to someone without receiving in return. And so it continues.

Question: Are those times approaching?

Answer: I hope so.

Question: What if I were able to say that I have only today? I want to live it as if it were my last day. Is that the right approach?

Answer: Yes, certainly.

Question: How can a person do something that seems impossible?

Answer: By convincing yourself that when you think positively about the world, you improve the world and help bring it to a better state. This is your responsibility toward the world.

Comment: How did the world suddenly enter our discussion? We were talking about my life.

My Response: You were born for this: to think about how you can improve the world. You and only you. By wishing to improve the world, you ask for it to change.

Question: Do you realize that we are speaking about ordinary people?

Answer: Ordinary people. If we want to change our world, then we must think only about one thing: that we want it to change.

Question: And is that what it means to truly live life?

Answer: Of course. It means understanding that everything must be done now, without waiting.

Question: And where is my “I” in all this? Where is my personal decision?

Answer: In the present moment.

Question: Right now?

Answer: Right now. That is where your “I” exists. Beyond that, it does not exist. If you do not stop and decide, “Now, only now!” then you are no longer truly present.

Question: You once studied human capabilities. I think you even worked on research involving hypothermia and how much a person can endure.

Answer: Yes.

Question: What are the limits of human potential? Can a person actually reach such a state? Is it possible to live for the sake of the world in this way?

Answer: I think so. We simply need to speak to people about it.

Question: Do you believe that what we say actually enters people?

Answer: Yes, it helps.

Question: How does that happen? Where does it enter a person so that he suddenly changes?

Answer: Into the air.

Question: So, to summarize: how does a person live life with “one arrow,” with one chance?

Answer: One must constantly think about improving the world. Nothing else is required. Only thoughts, only our desires.

Question: And what do you mean by improving the world?

Answer: Good relations between people.

Question: As simple as that?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What am I ascending toward as I move from one dead end to another?

Answer: I ascend so that these rungs of ascent create the desires, qualities, and properties within me that will allow me to reveal the meaning of life. It does exist! It is just that I do not see it, feel it, sense it, or know how to formulate it.

And as a result of these ascents, when I crawl from step to step like a small child on hands and knees, trying to climb up, I develop my intellect and feelings to understand the meaning of this ascent. And suddenly I begin to understand, as if this meaning is found between the rungs.

Question: Is there an end to these rungs?

Answer: It is somewhere very far away. Practically speaking, there isn’t one. And why should there be if I begin to sense that this process itself is life?

Life is precisely in finding disappointment at every step, the need to find strength, and a precise aspiration, a goal. Otherwise you lack the drive—the what for, the why, and for what purpose, or the ability to determine what constitutes a correct goal or right decision, And so on.

In other words, as you ascend these rungs, you begin to feel yourself growing and creating.

Question: What is it that drives me? Is it to get past this dead end or to draw closer to something?

Answer: No, you no longer even wish so much to reach some final rung. You begin to feel pleasure in the fact of traversing them. Between the rungs you begin to feel the wisdom and clarity inherent in them.

Question: And do I begin to sense this governance?

Answer: This is what precisely is meant by “From Your actions I will come to know You” (Mi maasecha hikarnucha)—that from the rungs themselves, from how they are created for you, and the fact that you were created simultaneously with them yet intended to rise above them—from all of this you begin to attain the Creator of these rungs. And this is the essential thing.

Question: Please tell me, what is our life?

Answer: Our life is a form of existence of protein-based matter.

Question: But still…?

Answer: Still, from this life, we take its Reshimot (spiritual records), memories, and impressions and continue. A huge number of tiny grains of egoism, meaning corrupted desires created by the Creator, gradually go through purification, correction, and connection.

Comment: So, these small egoisms (7 to 8 billion of them) live their lives precisely in order to come to this, as you say.

My Response: Hell, purgatory, and paradise. Like in Dante’s works.

Hell is the feeling and realization of one’s egoism, of one’s lowly nature, and everything that can be said about it. Purgatory is when a person tries to correct it, to cleanse it. And paradise is when a person puts this egoism at the service of other people.

These are the three stages we must go through.

Question: So a person throughout his lives moves toward this final third stage?

Answer: Yes, and therefore, if people understand what these three stages are—hell, purgatory, and paradise—meaning, attainment of awareness of one’s egoism, its correction, and its proper use, then everything is fine. We must try.

A person should not look back. He should not gnaw at himself or reproach himself for certain actions, nor at the same time praise himself for some of his deeds.

In other words, he should not try to strike a balance, thinking that I did this in such a way and that in another way, and here I fell a little short.

Question: Was this my life; either that of a hero or a sinner?

Answer: My life is not mine. And now I can finally say that what I lived through was not lived by me. It passed through me, but it was not me. I was being led. My life, it is how it appeared to me in a dream. It was not me, it all passed like a dream. And therefore, one simply must accept this; nothing else is required.

Question: Just accept it?

Answer: Yes. Just accept it. And that does not matter either. Whatever happens to a person will happen. And whatever he feels in the process, he will feel. It is not “he” who feels it, but rather “he” who is felt, so to speak.

Question: Why do people think that play is something childish? “I don’t play,” they say, even with pride: “I don’t play!”

Answer: “Don’t play” at what? At becoming a greater human being? What exactly is it that he does not play at?

Comment: When a person says they are “playing,” they are talking about something made-up. You know: “I’m just pretending.”

My Response: Of course it is imaginary. I’m inventing something. But what does it mean to dare?

Question: So, in your opinion, to dare means to play?

Answer: Of course. To play at something greater, something magnificent; it is striving, aspirations. Like children: whatever game they play, they want to become better.

Comment: But for children it happens naturally.

My Response: Exactly. And it should be natural for us too, but we have lost it.

Question: We have lost it?

Answer: Of course. A young person is given everything and nothing is demanded of them, and essentially, they…

Question: Stop playing?

Answer: Of course.

Question: So this is the root of all depression, drugs, and so on? A person stops playing?

Answer: Life no longer compels them.

Question: Should life compel us to play?

Answer: “What is our life? A game!” Only a different kind of game.

Question: We talk about suffering and so on, but does suffering push us toward the game? Does it say to us: “Play”? If I played, would I not suffer so much? Can one say that?

Answer: I would say that I constantly examine myself and am vigilant in checking to see if a desire to stop has arisen within me. You know, I’d like to make that final move at the last minute with real intent: snap.

Comment: And that’s all.

My Response: Yes, that is good.

Comment: I envy such endings too. You know, when someone walks onto the stage and boom! That’s it.

My Response: Yes.

Question: I want to ask something very relevant now. Is playing the way out of the state humanity is currently in? Humanity is at a dead end, lost in thought.

Answer: Of course. We must play at the state we wish to attain. You know how Kozma Prutkov said: “If you want to be happy – be happy”? It is very true.

Question: What game should we play now, in these uncertain times?

Answer: We must play at friendship and love.

Comment: Your simple answers always unsettle me. Friendship and love, they seem to require something more.

My Response: Is that bad?

Comment: It sounds childish. I’ve told you many times, it sounds childish, fit for children.

My Response: Well then, let people remain trapped in their narrow-minded seriousness. I don’t know what else to call it.

Comment: But you truly say: “Play at friendship and love.”

My Response: Of course. What else does a person really have? When this disappears, life loses its taste.

Question: So this is the main game? Constantly?

Answer: Of course. A flirtation with life.

Question: With life or with another person?

Answer: No, with life.

Question: When you say “friendship and love,” do you mean toward another person, toward those close to us, toward distant people, toward the world? Is all of that included?

Answer: Of course. Everything is included in it. There must be movement.

Comment: But if it is a game, and inwardly I understand that I do not truly relate to him this way.

My Response: That does not matter. Even if I do it deliberately.

Question: So it must be done intentionally?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Even if I do not actually feel this way toward him?

Answer: Initially I may not feel this way toward him, but afterward I create it.

Question: I create this world of play: I do not naturally relate to a person with love, yet I constantly want to love him and want friendship with him. And then this world manifests, this level? Do I step into it? Does it actually happen?

Answer: What happens is what you truly want to happen.

Question: Let me summarize. Our main game is the game of friendship and love?

Answer: Yes, because only a good connection between us—let’s not call it “friendship and love” because that sounds too childish—rather, only a benevolent connection between us, mutual help, and a sense of the necessity for good relations can bring us to a new world. There is no other way.

Question: What do you mean by a “new world”?

Answer: A new world means a new society where I increasingly feel that my physical and emotional well-being depends on everyone around me, and theirs depends on me. We are so interconnected that it becomes impossible to separate one from another.

I must realize that is a law of nature here, a strict, very strict, law that my attitude toward others determines their attitude toward me. This seems very strange to us. But if we try, if we make the effort, then gradually we will see that the world depends only on our attitude toward it, and it will change for the better. In other words, you paint your own world.

To be young means always striving forward.

Question: That is what youth is?

Answer: Yes, that is youth. It is not a matter of years. You could live to be 200 and remain young. Or you could be an old man at just 20, completely burnt out.

So, it all depends on striving! If you have a drive to attain the meaning of life, then you are always young.

That is the most important thing. It depends on you and on the society you are in, on the environment.

But under no circumstance should you allow yourself to be extinguished or let your inner fire go out. This is crucial.

Question: What would we see if we lived just a single day? Besides this transition, what else should we see? If I am living solely in the moment?

Answer: You want to drink it in, to gulp it down until you are gasping for breath! You want to experience it from beginning to end, to draw everything in between, to draw it all into yourself!

Question: What does it mean to live this moment correctly?

Answer: To live it correctly means to attain it. Life is but a moment. Who is in control of it?

Question: Is that what we need to attain?

Answer: Yes. And furthermore, for what purpose was this moment given to me? What was I supposed to do What did I fail to do? And perhaps, do I still have the opportunity to do it?

Question: Are you talking about a constant work within this moment?

Answer: Yes, within that moment, that single moment.

Question: Then will there be another moment, and I will ask the same questions and move in the same way?

Answer: I do not know if there will be another moment. That remains unknown.

Question: Exactly! So, this is how I should be living this moment?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But people do not live this way, right?

Answer: People do not live this way, but they should!

Question: Should they? Will we be taught how to live like this?

Answer: No, I think that capacity is already built into us from the start. That is just the nature of human beings.

Comment: So are we controlled in such a way that this internal mechanism, our intellect and all these ongoing probing questions, is switched off and we just go on living like that.

My Response: The Creator made it this way on purpose.

Question: Why did He do that?

Answer: So that not too much would be demanded of us.

Question: Otherwise, He would demand it?

Answer: Of course!

Comment: Meaning: “What do you live for? What do you live each moment for? Who governs the world?” And so on, and so on.

My Response: Yes. If He had placed His own mind, the beginning, the end, all actions, and so on, into the creation, and we required to provide an answer to all this…

Question: So what is it that a person should understand? Let’s focus on the person.

Answer: A person must understand that there is a mystery in life that he must constantly strive to reveal. Not that someone else uncovered it long ago and now he can read and know about it; rather, he must dig deep within himself, within life, and within the Creator, and search for it himself.

Question: Is this what you call  a person’s real life?

Answer: This is life.

Question: What will he ultimately reach if he proceeds this way, if he takes these steps?

Answer: I do not know. Each one reaches something unique to themselves. Everyone has a completely precise, personal task in life!

Question: Is a person destined to arrive at this mission, at this root of one’s being, one way or another?

Answer: A person is nudged toward it, but I do not know whether he is going there. No one knows. Only the Creator. And even that may not be known in advance.

Question: So absolutely everything depends on the Creator—whether I move or not, everything?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Should I turn to the Creator and ask: “Reveal my path to me”? Or is that useless?

Answer: Try to ask.

Question: Should my prayer be to live life correctly, in a good way?

Answer: It should.

Question: What would you say to a person now?

Answer: You should live in such a way that in every moment you are trying to uncover the mystery of life.

Question: What would you wish people who are setting out on the path of searching for the meaning of life?

Answer: I wish people to enjoy the metamorphoses that are taking place in them. Everything that is happening in them, everything that is bubbling, that is life! Don’t grow old before your time. Don’t try to, at least not inwardly.

I may no longer be able to climb mountains or battle the waves in a raging sea. No, but deep within myself all this still exists, and all of it gives me the sense of being truly alive.

Question: So, is that what you mean by a person remaining young regardless of their age?

Answer: Of course!
