Question: Why do the Jews live well?

Answer: It is because they use the Jewish property they were given to unite, they use for their commercial interests, in order to make money, in order to stand out in different ways, and to manage better in this world.

This will not lead to any positive outcomes in the end. We can see what is left of the Jews in Europe when the terrible Holocaust came.

Question: Anne Frank said that a Christian is personally responsible for everything he does, while all of the Jews are responsible for what one Jew does. Why is there such injustice?

Answer: Because the Jews are one unique nation that is capable of mutual guarantee, and no one can escape it. The Jewish nation was created in order to be as one man in one heart. This is the reason that every person among the nations of the world is judged individually, while the Jews are judged collectively.

Question: Following 2,000 years of anti-Semitism and persecution, have there been any qualitative changes due to the fact that the State of Israel was established?

Answer: Currently in most countries, anti-Semitism has become a clear direction. It has been adopted by the public at large and is breathing in the pages of the media. It is different.

In the past, anti-Semitism was narrow in its nature. If it thrived in one nation, in another nation, in opposition to it, Zionism was encouraged as it was in America and Russia 60-70 years ago. And now, all over the world there is an identical attitude regarding the Jews.

I have been warning about this; you can pick up articles that I wrote two decades ago and make sure. But then, no one listened.

Comment: The latest studies show that for every Jew in the world there are 70 anti-Semites. It is assumed that the whole world will become anti-Semitic.

Answer: The whole world will become absolutely anti-Semitic. So we must implement our mission swiftly.

Question: It turns out that there is still slavery in the modern world. 45 million people around the world are abused as slaves. This number is equivalent to the population of Spain.

According to recent research, slavery is the exploitation of a person who cannot leave because of threats of violence, coercion, or deception. People can be enslaved because of a debt and so forth.

Answer: Before the destruction of the Second Temple the slaves among the nation of Israel had many privileges. The landlord was required to take care of his slave, and the slave was obliged to work for the landlord according to his powers and his abilities. At the same time, the relationship between them was normal and mutual, just as they are today between an employer and an employee. A slave did not want to leave his landlord because the latter provided everything he needed, as it is written, “… give your slave your pillow.”

As for other nations, they had a completely different attitude toward slaves. They beat them, humiliated them, killed them, and did not treat them as human beings, not even as domestic animals, which were looked after, cherished, and fed.

Question: What is slavery from a Kabbalistic perspective?

Answer: According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, slavery is total obedience to your landlord, “This is what the landlord wants, so this is how I move.” A slave constantly looks to the landlord and carries out his will, and at the same time, totally suppresses his own desire. His efforts, his opinion, his desires, and his thoughts all are aimed at the landlord’s desire so as to continue the latter’s desire. A slave has no desire of his own, but only the desire of the landlord.

Question: Can we say that, in this world, we all are slaves to our egoistic nature?

Answer: Of course! We also can say that we are the Creator’s slaves, but unconsciously! This is because the Creator is the only force of nature that manages us, but He wants us to be independent. This is our problem: to be independent of Him and even above Him!

It is written, “My sons have defeated Me,” which means becoming free of slavery, becoming totally independent, and taking the leadership of the entire world from the Creator’s hands. This is His real desire, His dream. And we, unfortunately, do not want to think about something higher, more sublime, and thus we remain slaves and live as animals.

Therefore the Creator pushes us through suffering so that we will perceive and understand our absolutely poor, paltry, miserable, and limited state, and will want to rise from it.

I hope that as the sufferings grow, people will begin to perceive and understand that. There is no other way to influence people. Then, people will use what the Creator offers them: His knowledge, His method, His wisdom, the wisdom of Kabbalah.

If we begin to implement it, we will see how much we gain from becoming the masters and ceasing to be slaves. This is how we enter a completely different level of existence, a world of eternity, infinity, and perfection, a totally different entity, a different dimension. But this is for free people.

In the News (Reuters): “Few would have imagined that Adolf Hitler’s autobiography Mein Kampf would again become a bestseller in the 21st century. But that’s exactly what happened earlier this year with the expiration of a German state copyright that had been used to prohibit reprinting of the book.

“On Saturday, “Mein Kampf” became even more widely accessible in Europe. The Italian newspaper Il Giornale distributed copies of the book to readers of its Saturday edition… .”

My Comment: In any case, after the lifting of restrictions on the distribution of this book, there are people and resources to deliver it for free to all comers.

And then it depends on the people of Israel; if we are to fulfill our mission and show the world our unity, the force of correction will flow to all the nations of the world, and they also flock to the unity.

If we, the people of Israel, will continue to mutually separated, then, accordingly, the force of correction will act in the opposite manner to lead us to the right decision— and we again will receive another Holocaust, but on a global scale. So, Jews decide!

Question: What is this union that the Creator concludes with the people of Israel at Mount Sinai?

Answer: One shouldn’t imagine the events at Mount Sinai through Hollywood movies. We are talking about the laws of nature. The Torah is eternal and it means that now we also live inside this system. This is not a situation that arose once and disappeared.

It is said that the giving of the Torah happens every day. This refers to a special force hidden in nature that is called the Creator. It is a good force that is revealed on the condition that a person wants to reveal it. Everything depends on the desire of a person.

We are created by the evil egoistic force, as it is said that “The Creator created the evil inclination.” The upper force created us opposite to itself, as evil egoists, and each one of us thinks only about himself and is unable to think about others.

The force of egoism that acts within us is our entire nature. We are not capable of being different. It is necessary to realize and accept this fact in order to see everything in the right light, to check our nature and to decide that that which was originally given to us is defined. Therefore if a person doesn’t correct himself there is no point to expect him to have a good relationship with others, meaning with either inanimate nature, or plants and animals, and even more so, with people.

And if he does something good for others it is only because he expects to receive some benefit for himself from it. In such circumstances he can be seemingly kind, but this is not a kindness to another but a more cunning use of him.

This is the way we live, and it doesn’t matter what type of connection we are talking about, either love between parents and children, mother to the baby, boy and girl who connect in order to create a family, or a nation united by common borders and native land.

Whatever it is, everyone always thinks only about his own welfare. And when we build between us systems of connections they always must be organized so that each one receives some benefit from them.

It is especially typical for a human, as we have the biggest egoism that isn’t balanced by anything. At the lower levels of nature such as the still, vegetative and animate there is a balance and minus is always balanced by plus.

But people don’t have it and therefore from generation to generation our egoism grows more and more. We have to bind ourselves by all sorts of laws, dependencies, and obligations to somehow live together and not to kill each other.

5,777 years ago one man, whose name was Adam, discovered that there is an additional positive force in nature. It is possible to extract it from nature and to balance a negative force in a person with it and turn him into a perfect system, where negative and positive forces act together. And then a person’s eyes open, giving him a different look at the entire reality.

He looks at everything not only through one negative force, but through the positive force as well, and through the interaction of both. By this he discovers a completely different dimension, a reality located above our world because the positive force acts in it.

He sees how the positive force of nature influences from above downward the negative force that acts on the level of our world and how these two forces can interact. A person understands how much he is controlled by these forces, positive and negative, and learns to control them by himself. He becomes a master of these two forces.

From this moment onward an opportunity to rise above this life is revealed to humanity, above our nature, above our miserable and even dangerous condition, above eternal enmity, and above a fleeting life, full of suffering and problems.

Question: Why didn’t the Jews leave Europe before the Holocaust?

Answer: First, the Jews didn’t believe that the attitude toward them could become so negative, and that is what they believe even today when they are on the threshold of another Holocaust.

Second, the spiritual leaders convinced them that everything would be okay, that it was up to them to wait for the Messiah where they were. So, three million faithful Orthodox Jews, Poles who heard the voice of their leaders, met their death in the gas chambers.

It must be pointed out that the Kabbalists warned them before the Holocaust and tried to convince them to leave Europe, but in response they received only curses. The Kabbalists managed to escape in time.

Question: Why were the Jews scattered all over the world?

Answer: This happened for two reasons. First, as egoists who brought the people to destruction at the time of the first Beit HaMikdash (Temple) and then at the time of the second Beit HaMikdash, they couldn’t get along and live with each other so naturally they became distant from each other and were scattered throughout the world.

Second, as it is said in the Torah, i.e., in the wisdom of Kabbalah, they were scattered throughout the world to transmit “sparks” of attraction toward a higher state to all the peoples of the world.

In the News (Jewish World): “It has been 115 years since the death of one of the brightest and multifaceted (Solovyov was not only a philosopher but also a poet, literary critic, publicist, public figure) individuals of the nineteenth century, but some of his thoughts and philosophies are relevant and, at times today, seem to me, a message from the future.In the notes I want to talk briefly about the three postulates of Vladimir Sergeyevich,…

The goal of the Creator is a universal union of mankind,

The world develops according to laws of goodness, mercy, and justice.

Earthlings expect a future without anti-Semitism, which is one of the worst and most vile diseases of mankind …

“…universal association will be realized through the world soul…This soul is in every human being and it is the link, both between nations and religions, as well as between individuals. It is the world-soul, its volitional impulse, its divine power, that will ultimately unite the world. …

The Jews, according to Solovyov, God’s chosen people. .. Solovyov’s third important postulate follows from the previous one: if the good will conquer evil, in the future there is no place for hatred between nations, and therefore, for anti-Semitism.

My Comment: The laws that were set down at the foundation of the world are sometimes revealed to people through a “sensitive soul” even without preliminary study of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Question: In Orlando, there was a massive terrorist attack. A young Muslim of Afghan origin shot fifty people in a gay night club, making it the deadliest mass shooting in the US. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack.

Answer: Most people in our society lack a sense of love of others, including of gay people. The only question is how society determines its attitude toward those who are different and whether this attitude is determined by the laws of society according to the level of its tolerance or whether it stems from understanding this phenomenon. On the other hand, there is religious intolerance.

In principle, Islam in this respect has never been too fierce. These phenomena have been part of humanity since the beginning of time, but Islam today has become so militant, narrow-minded, and fanatic that it does not tolerate any deviations, no matter how people may interpret them. This is especially true when there is a desire to conquer, oppress, or exhibit, and elevate one’s ideology. Therefore, we are yet to see many such incidences, and no one can do anything about it.

I went to America recently, a year after my previous visit, and I am amazed each time by the rapid growth of the Muslim population there. They feel at home, that they own the place, and they put pressure on others openly, and not taking anything into account.

In other words, they intentionally behave the way that they do and are not afraid of the police. They feel that the police seemingly will be on their side. And so the Americans behave very cautiously toward them and move quietly aside. Consequently, we are sure to see very rapid changes in every aspect of American society.

Question: What can you say from the perspective of the upper scenario?

Answer: The upper scenario is very simple. Islam must conquer the modern world, especially Europe and America, in order to grow very strong and rise against Israel.

Question: Must they conquer the entire world because of a tiny ball like Israel?!

Answer: They will be suffocated by Israel if they don’t conquer Europe and America, and together with them, fight against Israel. However, according to the upper scenario, they will be suffocated anyway afterward!

The question is whether we can act today so that they will be suffocated now in order to prevent more victims in Europe and in America so that there will not be great wars, violence, and the provocations that they are planning against the people in those continents.

Question: What should we do so the Holocaust will not be repeated and so all the Jews all over the world will feel secure, not only those in Israel under the protection of the Israeli Defense Forces?

Answer: For the last 40 years I have been writing and saying that we will not feel secure in our country [Israel] unless we begin to fulfill our goal. It is all deeply embedded in nature and there is no point thinking that everything will somehow go away. If we don’t fulfill our goal, things will only get worse. So I don’t see any alternative for a brighter future. The prevention of a second Holocaust or a third nuclear world war is not guaranteed. We should look at the world realistically and not let the world flow aimlessly in an unknown direction.

Comment: Not all the Jews can intensively engage in the wisdom of Kabbalah…

Answer: They all must! And not only the Jews but the peoples of the world as well, because it is only by this method that we can ascend to the next level of our existence. Humanity has reached the ceiling of its evolution. And so the general global crisis is a crisis of the egoistic development of all of humanity that has exhausted its ego and cannot develop in it any longer. This is the reason that the ego is taking on such ugly corporeal forms now.

And the next level of development is anti-egoistic and exists in balance, in harmony between plus and minus, between the forces of nature. In our present nature is only the evil force.

We have to learn how to uncover the positive force and use it properly along with the negative force. We should not destroy the ego but add the positive force to it. This is the correction that we have to implement.

At the time of the Temple, people lived according to spiritual laws. They revealed the positive force in the connection between them, the force of mutual cooperation, love, and mutual help, and thus they lived by covering their ego through the connection between them, as it is written, “love will cover all transgressions.”
