Today, humanity is on the verge of spiritual realization. The whole history of the Jews (whatever one may say, they are still a special people) is a demonstration to all mankind of what will happen to them.

But you can unfold the course of history differently, not physically, but with a quick awareness, that is, to accept the methodology from this nation. Then, there will be no need to experience what they have gone through, i.e., be wiser by possessing this knowledge.

We see that people do not yet know how to work with it, what to do, where to run from it. They raise their hands and say, “No, no, we’re fine.” The same exact thing is written in the Egyptian story: “Everything is fine, all is good, we still have nowhere to go. Let’s come to an agreement with our pharaoh (egoism). Let’s try to do something different.”

People seek and search. This is natural because they do not want to see or actually do not see an opportunity to avoid it, because it is a completely different nature.

The Creator is hidden, the upper force of nature manifests itself only one-sidedly, as mechanical, inanimate, non-purposeful, without a plan: matter develops and that’s it. It has evolved from inanimate to vegetative, animate, and human. So, we are the smartest! And what do we see? We can’t do anything.

It was the same with Moses when he was told: “Why do you worry the people? We are fine. Be quiet, do not spread your Kabbalah, do not call for an exodus, for an ascent. Get out of here!” Therefore, he was forced to run away to the King of Midian Yitro, and only returned 40 years later. That is when the people began listening to him because they had received many blows during that time.

Back then, this story happened to a small number of souls and now, it must happen to the whole of humanity.

Question: Where did the word “Zion” come from?

Answer: “Zion” is from the word “Etzia” (“exit”)—exit from exile.

If Zionism previously attracted Jews to Zion, today it not only does not attract, but actually repels because it is being replaced by a new form of uniting people, not around some places called “Zion” or “Jerusalem,” which have become symbols of hard Judaism.

Real Zionism, which has gradually formed and is still being formed from the past, is “love your neighbor,” which is the next step in the connection of the people regardless of their land or even their customs.

The most important custom—”love your neighbor as yourself” (the main rule of the Torah)—is what it is calling to fulfill in the first place. This is the real Zionism of today that arose on the ruins of the old one, which has simply served its purpose.

Previously there was an aspiration to the earth, to Zion, to stones, to the Wailing Wall, to something so much more understandable and in some way attractive, like stones in the ancestral cemetery. But in the end, all this disappears and is emptied of the great fulfillment that once existed, even at the beginning of the 20^th century.

By the 21^st century it has ceased to be something attractive at all. On the contrary, the call to Zionism is something inhibiting, and it manifests itself as a lack of understanding of the current situation and the movement of history.

Now Zionism has taken the place of uniting all people, not only Jews, although the Jews should be in the center. This connection should indicate the future to all the nations of the world.

Question: Can the 400 years that the Jewish people spent in exile be considered a period of a dream?

Answer: The period of a dream is generally called the entire period before our common redemption from egoism because a dream is a minimal influence of light from above, which holds us only in a physical form.

This is the state we are in now. Therefore, it is called a dream: the illumination of VAK, that is, a small illumination of light that is not even felt by us.

Where does life come from and why do electrons spin? Where does all the energy come from and how did our universe appear?

Does it all come from an infinitely powerful explosion point, which is just one point, and all matter, energy, and information developed from it?

We do not feel where it comes from. It goes away, diffuses into the next dimension and comes from there again, but we do not feel these transitions.

Question: Why did the Nazis pursue a policy directed against Jews?

Answer: The fact is that after the Weimar National Assembly, which adopted a constitution that equalized the rights of all the peoples of Germany, in particular Jews with Germans, it suddenly became clear that Jews occupied high positions in industry, science, and culture for several decades. According to the studies of political scientists and psychologists, this caused great envy and increased anti-Semitism.

Before that, everything was relatively quiet, although everyday, anti-Semitism has always existed because it is in the blood of mankind. This is the realization by the peoples of the world that the Jews have something secret, and supposedly they rule the world, they know something, they hide something.

Indeed, these people have a method of correcting the world. And now, when he offers it to everyone, no one wants to hear about it, because it is an anti-egoistic technique. But the feeling that the Jews have something is true. This attitude has always been with them.

After all, the main thing is the struggle for whose God is either yours or mine; it cannot be both is what Christians believed.

The Jews did not have this at all. God is the general force of nature. He is one!

Question: Why are Jews among the richest?

Answer: Because they know how to handle money correctly, and have for thousands of years.

Question: What does it mean to handle money correctly?

Answer: To earn, to keep, to save, to turn money into a bank-type enterprise, and so on. That is what they can do. But it takes a long time to learn.

Question: And this can be learned?

Answer: I think Jews are not the best in this matter, but life forced them. They could not sit in one place, they could not work and create large enterprises because they were taken away from them, set on fire, smashed.

Therefore, they had only one opportunity left—to work with money. A lot is written about this. I believe that this is what led them to a relatively independent material well-being.

Question: You write that the concept of sacrifice was revealed after the consecutive entrances into Egypt of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. “Egypt” in Hebrew is Mitzraim, i.e., Mitz Ra—the concentration of evil when man enters this evil.

The people of Israel (our inner desires) made sacrifices. The Egyptians, who represent egoism, seeing how the Israelites made sacrifices and tried to unite, hated them for that. In general, our ego hates when it is sacrificed.

The question arises: can we say that this is where the root of anti-Semitism comes from?

Answer: The root of anti-Semitism comes precisely from this state, when people see that Jews interpret everything in the inner sense of the word.

For example, sacrifice means the sacrifice of our egoism. Pray is not to some God or something, but to the upper force that can reward you with the opportunity to be kind and empathetic to other people. And so on. This misunderstanding of Judaism led to the beginning of anti-Semitism.

Question: Does it mean that hatred of the quality of bestowal and love, which was cultivated by people called “Israel” who lived in Egypt at that time, in principle, caused anti-Semitism?

Answer: Yes, it is natural hatred. If I am in the qualities of reception, I just want to receive pleasure, and if I see that someone near me is trying to connect and acquire another quality, the quality of bestowal and love, I naturally hate that person.

Thus, my hatred of the qualities of bestowal and love evokes anti-Semitism.

Comment: After the ruin of the Second Temple, the Jews could not maintain their spiritual state and dispersed to different countries.

My Response: These were no longer Jews, but a lost nation from which ten tribes had previously left. Two tribes remained who passed from country to country. Where they were allowed to take shelter, they settled down for tens or hundreds of years, and again they set out on the road.

It is remarkable. There is no such nation in history that was suddenly expelled from some country. I can’t imagine any comparison when a whole nation, hundreds of thousands of people rise together and go to another country.

Question: But how did Jews relate to this themselves?

Answer: The main thing is to save and preserve what we have because we must be one nation.

Comment: Nevertheless, although Jews are together, they still have no spirituality.

My Response: It exists, but not at the same level as before. The understanding that spirituality—a connection with the Creator and a mission that exists in the people—was all there, but there was no obvious manifestation of this.

Look at the books they wrote. They have not completely lost the understanding that there is an upper world, attainment of the Creator, and work for the Creator. Take and read these books. They knew they were cut off from it.

While working on themselves at the level of the Second Temple, the people of Israel tried to do everything possible to stay on it, but egoism grew because the ego that contained all of humanity was not corrected since humanity was still developing egoistically.

Therefore, the developing egoism affected the Jews, and they could not remain at the same level of benevolent interaction with each other. Their condition is represented by the wars with the Romans and the Greeks, but in fact these were internal wars of the people of Israel.

The fall occurred under the influence of egoistic desires: the Greek ones (in ideology) and Roman ones (in action). Of course, this is not about the Greeks and the Romans because we are talking only about the internal states of the same group of Abraham.

Eventually they fell from the level of the Second Temple: “Do not do to the other what is hateful to you,” were completely disconnected from any kind mutual actions, and became like ordinary people. This means that they were captured not by the Egyptians or Babylonians, but by humanity in general, which was disconnected from all spiritual categories.

This is the next, most difficult stage—the third exile from spirituality. The Jews entered it gradually and lost their previous degree. This continued for many years and ended in the 16^th century in the time of Ari.

The method for exiting the state of spiritual exile began to develop in the sixteenth century; it is called Kabbalah. Of course, Kabbalistic teaching existed before that. The great ideologists following Abraham and his disciples discovered all this and wrote it down. Their books are called the Holy Books of the Jews.

But the fact is that they did not have a clear method for exiting selfishness. At that time, the last state—which began to manifest itself during the time of Aristotle—had not yet been revealed.

Ari is a great Kabbalist who laid the foundations for the method of correction. After him, other Kabbalists began to appear: the Baal Shem Tov, the Magid of Mezrich, and many others. Thus, the number of spiritual guides who described the same methodology, but in different styles expanded, and they could work with people theoretically and practically at different levels.

However, the development of Kabbalah, which went from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries to the present day, stopped at us. The last of the great teachers was my teacher Rabash. He and his father laid the foundations of the method of correction in action, in its application.

And we who follow them, by implementing this method, hope for an effective way out of the exile in which we and all of humanity are. This is a special exile because that group of Abraham is dissolving into the whole of humanity, if not physically, then morally, spiritually, and ideologically; they are losing absolutely everything.

A part of this group alters the entire methodology, that is, it takes on mechanical actions without thinking that it is necessary to engage in this internally, with one’s own intentions, with one’s heart. This is the big problem of getting out of the last exile.

Question: Olga writes: “Dear Michael Laitman, I have been listening to you for a long time and usually agree with you. But I can’t agree with one thing, which you think is the main thing: that the Creator is kind. But it’s not like that; He’s not kind. Look around. Even if I repeat like a mantra that the Creator is good, this horror will not stop anyway. Why is He so unkind to us? In fact, innocent people are suffering.”

Answer: It is true that people suffer. It is true that the Creator is unkind. But He is fair.

Question: For whom, I wonder, is He fair?

Answer: For those who follow His instructions. He set the bar and the conditions: “This is so, and this is so.”

Question: And what are the bars? Can you say?

Answer: Be kind to each other.

Comment: Look at what is happening around!

My Response: We make our own future and present. We wrap everything up ourselves.

Question: What about His governance? You keep saying, “The Creator’s governance is good, kindness, and doing good.”

Answer: Only we need to be consistent.

Question: So is this law of good relationships the main law?

Answer: Yes. He set everything to spin like this, and it will spin. And if you want it better or if you want it worse, you make it yourself. It is a rule.

Question: Can we be kind to each other?

Answer: If we try very hard, then yes.

Question: By ourselves? Without any help from above?

Answer: Yes, without any help. There is no Creator, there is nature. We do well and we get correct, good actions from it, or vice versa.

Question: By the word “nature” what do you mean?

Answer: “Elokim” (Creator) according to gematria, in its internal numerical meaning, means “teva,” nature. And there is nothing else.

Question: When you say nature, what do you mean?

Answer: Nature is everything! The whole universe.

Question: Is there a law of the universe that we do not comply with?

Answer: Yes. This is the law of absolute kindness, love, connection, and so on. We are inside this law and do not comply with it.

Question: Can we start matching it? Without any help from the upper?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So can we stop starting all these wars and all these troubles, and not hate each other and so on?

Answer: It all depends on us.

Question: How do we do it, anyway?

Answer: First convince all Jews of this, and then it will be easier. The world began with them, and the world will end with them!

Comment: Start with the Jews so that they themselves are on good terms and show the whole world an example of good relations. Such a simple phrase, and we have not been able to approach it for millennia.

My Response: We cannot; we cannot give an example and achieve this.

Question: What do we need to do in this case?

Answer: To tell all this first to the Jews and the rest of the nations of the world. And for all of them to start this fight for peace, and to convince each other that this is the only way to restore order on Earth.

Question: But first you still have to convince the Jews, you say?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: It follows from all this that all this horror, everything that is happening, all this hatred, that the Creator is not kind, in all this…

My Response: The Jews are to blame.

Comment: It’s no secret that they don’t like Jews, they hate them, and put all the blame on them.

My Response: This is an unconscious sense of truth.

Question: We suffer because Jews haven’t done their job. Is this the truth?

Answer: Yes. This is how every person in the world feels. Except Jews.

Question: Olga asks a very simple question: “Why is He so unkind to us, as innocent people are suffering”?

Answer: He wants to lead us to good. And we resist.

Question: Then the question is: what is it about us Jews that we don’t want to take these steps? Or do we take them, but incorrectly?

Answer: There is a central point of the world in us, which is connected with the whole of nature in general, and is the central point of nature.

Question: So there is a point in us that is connected to the central point of nature?

Answer: Yes. And if we adjusted it and balanced it, then everything in the world would be balanced.

Comment: What a responsibility and burden do you place on the Jews!

My Response: I’m not placing anything! I’m just explaining.
