Question: The world has split into two equal camps: the right and the left. What does it mean?

Answer: It means that people do not learn anything at all. They remain the same as they were born, as they were raised. By their nature, initially when they are born, they belong either to one variety or to another, and you cannot do anything about it.

Question: That is, they are either leftist or rightist?

Answer: Yes. A person is born this way, right from the delivery room.

Question: Even as a child, a person can be identified as to which camp he will belong to?

Answer: Practically, yes.

Question: That is, he does not learn anything during his life, but follows this line?

He cannot change, he was created that way. He will be drawn to it. He may be here or there by mistake, but then he will still come to what he belongs to.

Question: So what is next? That is, it shows that there is no one unifying idea?

Answer: That is for sure, there is not a single unifying idea. It shows that humanity is created in equal proportions in the right and left lines. Based on the nature in which a person was originally born, one goes on like this.

Comment: Each of them talks about the truth all the time. Both the right and the left.

My Response: Of course, they speak frankly, they do not bend. This is how each of them actually thinks.

Question: By their nature one person claims that this is the truth? And another one based on his nature claims that that is the truth? So one must suppress the other one?

Answer: They do this all the time.

Comment: This is how it was until it came to the middle. Before that, there were more rightists or more leftists. Somehow earlier there were more leftists, then there were more rightists, and this is how they fought. But today they suddenly became equal in proportions.

My Response: We have come to a state where we are beginning to see that all this is going on according to some rule.

Question: Who will be the first to take a step toward reconciliation?

Answer: Nobody. Neither this one nor the other one.

Question: But how will this happen then?

Answer: The world must feel the necessity, more and more of such torments until people understand how they can exist. How can one build a country if half, exactly half, of the country is against him?!

Comment: Yes, this is totally incomprehensible. You are the president of half of the country. And the other half is plotting to throw you off next time. It cannot be like this all the time. That is, somewhere there must appear a cry: “Let us unite somehow!”

My Response: The state itself is amazing! Not the majority, the minority, and so on; that is what we have always studied in political economy.

Question: So you are saying that in this world of those born right or left, there is no truth?

Answer: Naturally, none of them holds the truth. It can exist only if they converge in the middle line.

And then, if they get together in order to find the truth, they will recognize the Creator in it. That is, the highest root from which both opposite states descend. And then they will find it there. And in it they will find a true, wonderful connection with each other.

Question: A couple of thousand years ago, the cyclical nature of civilizations was noticed. Tough times give birth to strong people. Strong people create good times. Good times breed weak people. Weak people create difficult times.

Now is a difficult time. Will it give birth to strong people? Will the cycle go the way it went before?

Answer: No. I will explain why. In those times, they understood the law of the egoistic development of mankind. So, if we are talking about growing egoism, then it has no choice but to develop up and down, like a wheel moving forward.

This world must understand that a new force must appear, a positive force, the force of good, that will counter the negative, egoistic force, the force of evil. And we can exist on the connection of these two forces, between them.

That is, we do not remove the evil force of nature, but we gradually use it in order to build the force of good against it. And then these two forces, like plus and minus, will lead us forward. It will not work out in any other way, I really hope.

Question: Is this called the time of the last generation, everything that Kabbalists have been talking about through the millennia? Time X has arrived?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And if we do not follow this path?

Answer: Nature will force us anyway.

Question: Do you think there is no way out?

Answer: No, by no means. These structures change and no one asks us.

Question: Should we attract a positive force from nature?

Answer: Yes. This is the force of universal connection. All of nature around us is actually integral, interconnected, and mutually determine each other. There is no negative and no positive force, but the relationship between them regulates everything. Only we at our human level distort their correct correspondence.

We need to make sure that we naturally learn to maintain a balance between positive and negative forces. That is, they both have the right to exist. You must reject, you must attract, but it all depends on what you attract and what you reject, not blindly but reasonably, so that in the end you understand how all nature works, and you control it.

Question: What are the requirements for a person to realize this?

Answer: Only then does one become human! We must now get out of our primitive development!

“Man” – “Adam” (from the word “Adomeh,” similar to the Creator, similar to the higher positive force) is the one who understands how to act above his animalistic power. We must sit on our animalistic strength like a man sitting on a donkey riding it. But in fact, now we are being driven by the donkey. So let’s try to get out of this somehow.

Question: Harvard Kennedy School Professor Ronald Ferguson coauthored a book about raising successful children, The Formula: Unlocking the Secrets to Raising Highly Successful Children. He and coauthor journalist Tatsha Robertson provide “The 8 Roles of Good Parents.”

The first role is “the early learning partner.” The parent engages in trying to interest the child in learning and making learning and problem solving fun even before the child begins school.

What does it mean to be a learning partner to a child?

Answer: When a parent speaks, he or she introduces and explains to the child in advance these sensations, these relationships.

Question: Does he at the same time encourage the child to be the first in the class?

Answer: No. It’s not about competition, it’s about the correct attitude.

Question: What kind of attitude should it be?

Answer: To instill the appeal of knowledge in a child.

Comment: The second role is called “the flight engineer.” This is a parent who controls the environment of a child and intervenes when something goes wrong.

My Response: This is natural. The environment determines a person and their development.

Question: Can a parent step in and move a child to a different environment if something is wrong?

Answer: Definitely!

Question: Is this not coercion?

Answer: No. This is an adjustment that must be made from above.

Question: What if a child likes it there?

Answer: It does not matter what he likes.

Question: To such an extent? Almost forcibly? Do you just move him or her to another school?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What kind of environment should I move the child to?

Answer: The one that helps the child to develop and does not limit or create any false ideals before him.

Question: What should be the ideal of the correct environment?

Answer: Free, extensively developed, friendly, not restricted in any way.

Question: Is this what an environment should be? Does this include teachers, classes, and friends?

Answer: Of course, everything.

Comment: The third role is “the fixer.” A parent ensures that they child has all that is needed to succeed, that no opportunity to improve the child’s life will be lost.

My Response: To do this, you need to educate a parent first.

Question: What are the main opportunities for improving a child’s life?

Answer: Society, environment. Nothing else.

Comment: The fourth role is “The revealer.” A parent-revealer expands the child’s view of the world by showing them the world and opportunities available to them and takes them to museums, libraries, and exhibitions.

My Response: That’s right. I was raised that way. My father took me to the movie theater all the time. He was a big movie fan. We had a movie theater where they only had movies about artists, musicians, and great people. We went to all these movies once a week.

Question: Did this expand your view of the world?

Answer: Of course! Since then, I have not seen these films about great artists, musicians, and people of art.

Comment: The fifth role is “the philosopher.” Parents help their child find purpose by asking deep questions about life and answering them. Do you think it’s right for a parent to be such a philosopher?

My Response: It is necessary to awaken such questions in a child that puzzle the child and that he or she tries to answer somehow.

Question: What questions would you awaken in a child?

Answer: It depends on the age and the character of a child. It’s not easy.

Of course, questions about the basis of the universe, about life, about nature that surrounds us.

Question: Can we ask a child such questions as “What was I born for? What is the meaning of life?” Or is it too early for him and we should not do this?

Answer: I do not know. This should be done very carefully. I do not want to advise.

In principle, children have these questions in childhood. Then they forget. “What do I live for, where do I come from, what am I for, what am I?” And so on. This is still a pre-hormonal development. Then the hormones start kicking in, and everything ends at that.

Comment: The sixth role is “the model.” These parents define important values for themselves and instill them in their children.

My Response: I am not sure about that. My parents’ values were to make me a musician. It was, of course, terrible. I did not appreciate this at all and could not appreciate this. I did not like to work mechanically on myself, to play scales for five or six hours a day and more things like that. This dryness killed me. I could not stand it and did everything I could to break away.

Question: In general, is it correct that parents define important values for themselves and instill them in their children?

Answer: That’s how it turns out! There is nothing you can do.

Question: Does it mean that the main thing is to educate parents so that the correct values are instilled in them? And then the children will follow them.

Answer: Yes, that’s right!

Question: The eighth role is “the GPS navigational voice.” The voice of such parents continues to sound in the child’s head even after they have left home. What do you think about that?

Answer: That’s right. This remains, and this is very important. However, it’s just a navigator. Therefore, it is necessary to check the values that parents have and that they want to instill in their child.

Question: In other words, do we need to check this “navigator”?

Answer: Yes. This is a problem today.

Question: Are these values basically all egoistic by and large?

Answer: Of course. We need to educate parents. Take all these values and instill them in parents, and let them educate themselves with this.

In the News (BBC News):
“The postponed Tokyo Olympic Games will go ahead next year ‘with or without Covid’, the vice-president of the International Olympic Committee says.

Question: What do you think about his claims?

Answer: What should he say? He needs to show everyone that they are inspiring and moving toward this cause, building,  and so on. Forward!

Question: Does this mean that they don’t feel the reason for the virus?

Answer: They don’t even feel how weak they are.

Comment: They feel that they are strong.

My Response: They will stand and weep like small kids who are looking for their mom.

Question: Is this where COVID-19 is leading us?

Answer: Yes, and much more.

Question: So that we will all feel like rags?

Answer: Yes, how else? Only then will we begin to listen.

Comment: But what we see is the opposite reaction everywhere: We will defeat the virus; we will find a vaccine…

My Response: Look at how you bring up kids. You bring them to a state in which they understand that they need you! Then you tell them what to do, and without a choice, they listen to you. A child cries but still does what needs to be done because he understands that he has no other choice. This is what the generation of selfishness is built on.

Question: Does this mean that we are constantly living in a state in which the Creator is above us and we are inside Him, and He leads us from one place to another?

Answer: Yes.

Question: This is how we have been living throughout history and this is how we continue to live now. So will the Olympic Games take place or not, what do you think?

Answer: If we behave, they will take place, and if we misbehave they will not.

Question: What appeal would you write to the upper force on behalf of the IOC? We would very much like the games to take place, what should we write?

Answer: I would write, “Touch the fans so that they will understand that they need to grow wiser, to understand the conditions under which the games can take place.”

The true Olympic Games are when at least during the games we cease the mutual hatred and the rejection we feel toward each other.

Question: And do we have to feel so before the games can start?

Answer: Yes, let’s prepare for this during the coming year.

Question: So will this be the preparation for the Olympic Games?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Can you imagine that the IOC would write such an appeal to the Creator?

Answer: They should start by putting a stop to all the military operations around the world during this time.

Comment: This could be a nice appeal to humanity.

My Response: We know that the true Olympic Games will take place only when humanity will want to put an end, at least for some time, to all the wars, conflicts, and struggles, and will want to participate in the right struggle, not with all kinds of viruses and forbidden stimulants, but by expressing its concern directly, openly, rationally, and honestly.

This could be amazing! But in order to do that we need to totally change our attitude to the games, to the world, to war, to everything.

What kind of games could there be today without stimulants? Who would compete today without such drugs? Today entire labs and institutions operate in order to provide an athlete with a pill that on the one hand will not be traceable, and on the other hand will help him break forward, even if he may later die as a result. Are these games? This is disgusting.

Question: So is this the reason that we are not allowed to get near the games since these are no longer games and no longer Olympic Games?

Answer: Yes, and even the declaration of John Coates, that “will go ahead next year ‘with or without Covid’…these will be the Games that conquered Covid”! how can that be? Who are you dealing with!? You are not even aware of the greatness of the games themselves, not of the games that should be, not of the fact that they are actually above human nature.

The Olympic Games were given to us in order to raise man above his competitive inclination, so that friendship and the right attitude toward each other will actually win. Here, however, everything is built on the opposite idea. See the hatred that is invoked between all the nations before the games. It is a good thing that these games do not take place.

Comment: Bill Gates says that the coronavirus pandemic has taken us twenty years back, if not more. He also says another very interesting thing that does not go along with what you say at all. In a New York Times interview, “Nonetheless, Mr. Gates was optimistic that the lost ground would be recovered ‘in two to three years.’ The pipelines of money from tourism, remittances, World Bank loans and other sources would begin flowing again as soon as the whole world was vaccinated, ending the pandemic; he expected that to be accomplished by sometime in 2022.”

This means that he wants to restore the past.

My Response: Well, what can we do? He is like a small child confused with all his economic calculations. He has probably also lost quite a bit of money or perhaps the opposite, maybe he has made more money.

Comment: He is an optimist and he calms the world by saying that it is possible to return to the state we were in before, yet you are saying that the world will never be what it was before.

My Response: Never.

Comment: You don’t calm the world.

My Response: No! I tell the world, “things will be much worse for us.”

Question: Can you elaborate on that? What is so optimistic about that? Why does the world have to hear this?

Answer: They need to hear that unless people correct themselves and the relations between them, all people will feel bad. All people will feel bad! This means that we have to correct ourselves. There is nowhere you can escape to and there is no other choice. What am I saying that is so bad?

Comment: I personally don’t think there is anything bad about that, but people want to return to the world in which we flew around and went on holidays all the time and visited people.

My Response: You can fly wherever you want to, but you will not be able to restore the old world in any way.

Comment: People don’t want to erase the old world from their memory.

My Response: You know, there are movies like that in which a person leaves a certain place, abandons it, and then within two or three years everything there simply disintegrates, everything falls apart.

Question: So you believe that this is very superficial thinking and that the correct thinking is that we will not return to the past and we need to think about the future?

Answer: There is no going back! Show me even one historic event, one case in which people went back. There is no such thing. Even if they did go back after a war, after restoration, it was totally different. There were new cities and new relationships!

Comment: This is the most important thing for you, a new relationship.

My Response: It is not for me. It is the most important thing for nature and this is the reason nature puts us in such states.

Question: It isn’t about tourism, not cities, not industry, not food, nothing, only relationships?

Answer: It is about bringing a person to the state of one whole.

Question: Is this what nature wants and will attain no matter what?

Answer: Of course, and we choose the good way or the bad way.

Question: Can nature whisper to us, “Choose the good way?”

Answer: Nature constantly whispers to us, but we don’t want to hear. It constantly suggests this to us!

Question: Does this mean that we don’t hear this voice of nature?

Answer: We don’t hear it.

Comment: We hear ourselves and only shout, “Take us back. We don’t want to live like this!”

My Response: That’s the only thing we do!

Coronavirus—A Consequence Of The Imbalance Of Nature

In the News (Medical Xpress): “More than half of French nurses are close to burning out, according to a survey of nearly 60,000 of them published on Sunday, which found they were struggling with cancelled holidays and increased work due to coronavirus.

“The survey carried out by the national French nursing union found that 57 percent of respondents reported being in a “state of professional exhaustion”, up from 33 percent before the global COVID-19 pandemic struck France early in 2020.

“The findings underline the strains being felt in the healthcare sector in Europe, which came under unprecedented pressure during the first wave of infections and now faces another surge in admissions. …

“More than a third of nurses saying their departments were understaffed compared to normal, and two thirds saying working conditions have deteriorated since the start of the pandemic.

“One in five nurses said they had been unable to take a holiday since March.

“‘While there are 34,000 vacant nurses’ positions at this time in 2020… the degraded working conditions mean we risk seeing even more nurses throwing in the towel,’ the union said in its statement.”

Question: How can it be that people are shooting themselves in the foot? Isn’t it clear that first and foremost we need to support the medical staff who are on the frontlines, as we say?

My Response: There is a plan in nature that operates so that everyone will eventually recognize that within their own nature they don’t really care about anyone. People are so narrow minded that they don’t think about others but only about themselves, and nothing else interests them.

Question: Are you actually referring to the self-importance of state leaders?

Answer: I am speaking about everyone, no matter who.

Comment: But how can it be that government officials aren’t deciding that they need to pay the medical staff first, to double their wages, since they are at the frontlines, after all, they may also need to be hospitalized.

My Response: They will surely receive proper care, don’t worry.

Question: Does this mean that those who take care of them are well paid?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Should we still think about supporting these workers and giving them more?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is the reason that this doesn’t happen the same mechanism that is operating here?

Answer: Yes, our head does not operate in this direction, and instead we think that if they are already working, let them continue to work and we will come up with some more laws and so they will not be able to break free of this job.

Question: Does this mean that we will enslave them?

Answer: Of course. But I think that all this will stop because the workers will no longer come to work, and what will we do then? You cannot force them.

Question: Is a quiet strike their last resort?

Answer: Of course. “I don’t agree with my work conditions.” If this happens in an organized manner, the state will do whatever necessary.

Here we reveal once again that our ego stands in our way of organizing a normal friendly society that is connected and cares for everyone as one family. We cannot even do that in one state.

Comment: We see that the ego enters even humanistic professions…

My Response: We will see how egoism stands in our way in the most critical points. Even if you wish to gather these people to talk, to raise their wages, to pass certain laws, you will not be able to do that!

According to The Book of Zohar a person cannot concede his ego, even when he faces death, and the angel of death brings a sword with a drop of poison to his mouth, a person cannot refuse, and wants to swallow this poison, this egoistic pleasure, and so he opens his mouth and swallows the poison and everything comes to an end.

Question: So according to The Book of Zohar, does this mean that there is no way out?

Answer: There is a way out, only if we all draw the upper light unto ourselves together. It will correct everything.

Question: If this state brings to us the recognition that we are destroying ourselves, and in order to save ourselves we need to become one family, one connected state, will people agree to that?

Answer: Only if everyone agrees together! That’s the whole problem. We need to eradicate the hatred between people and take this whole matter seriously. If we want it for the common good, then it will work out, and no one will be harmed!

It will come, and will not disappear! People will begin to speak about it more and more, and then they will realize that they don’t have the power to bring this state about. Then they will think about where they can get the powers to do so, how to find such powers. We will be able to find these powers only if we create groups of tens, small groups in which we will find the common force of connection. Thus we create the Creator, as it says.

The Creator is the good force that is between us. Even if we are egoists, we still yearn for unity above egoism and then we build, create, and generate the Creator between us. Otherwise He does not exist.

We begin to generate this force between us from literally from scratch, from nothing, from a vacuum.

Question: Does one small group generate the Creator, and another small group generates the Creator, and thus many such “Creators” are born?

Answer: Yes, and then these groups unite as one so that each move they make is toward unity. This is how one Creator above everyone is eventually created. What is this Creator? The attribute of love and bestowal. It is so simple to reveal Him through such actions.

Question: Does the process begin in small groups?

Answer: In small groups of not more than ten people.

Question: Is this the number of people that you can learn to love?

Answer: Yes. It is not a simple process at all, but it will take place since we have no choice. When we reach this state there will be no need for nurses, for medical staff, and everyone will have whatever they need.

Question: Does this mean that you see that in this state society will be healthy and people will be healthy and will not need hospitals?

Answer: Absolutely healthy.

How Should A Doctor Choose?

Comment: At the beginning of the 20th century beautiful cities were built: London, Paris, New York, Hong Kong, and others. People, entrepreneurs, ideas, and money flowed into these cities, and it was wonderful.

What has the virus done? Suddenly life began to flow out of these cities. It seemed impossible, but people are leaving, and the cities are gradually becoming ghost towns. The mind refuses to accept that this is even possible.

My Response: It seems impossible, but it is so!

Comment: Will this flow out of the cities stop at a certain point and will people return to the cities?

My Response: No, they will not return. What for? What will they find in New York? They may go to Carnegie Hall one day, to a certain restaurant, or somewhere else, but I believe that generally speaking all this will disappear. Everything has changed, turned upside-down!

I don’t think that the virus has caused this. It is the internal force of nature that is responsible for this change.

Question: From a Kabbalistic perspective, what has changed so dramatically in people?

Answer: The essence of life has changed. It is not about the physical place where we can be together, but about finding the right place where we can exist, not a physical existence, but a virtual one.

The departure from Manhattan, for example, leaving the physical Big Apple, indicates that we don’t need all the people, the office buildings and banks, and that we can stay at home sitting on our sofa in our pajamas and manage everything. Why should we pay for such expensive office buildings? So that people can come and sit there? We don’t need it. We can watch the screen or several screens in front of us and manage an entire enterprise.

Question: But what about your dream of connecting people, of connecting?

Answer: The Torah refers to the physical connection between people and says “disperse the wicked, it is good for them and it is good for the world.”

Question: Was it an illusion of physical connection?

Answer: It was not an illusion. There was no physical connection at all. Did I go to work because I loved the people there, because I wanted to be closer to them?

Question: Of course not. Will something change now? How will this happen virtually if I only see others on the screen?

Answer: I will connect to them virtually and then maybe physically at some point. But the most important thing is that I will be free and that nothing will pressure me and force me to smile to one person or another, to be connected, etc. I will connect to people only in a businesslike manner.

Question: It’s interesting to think about how people will connect in their hearts, how will this connection take place through the screens?

Answer: They will receive blows by different afflictions in life, and thus understand that they can overcome the problems they encounter only if they get closer to each other internally, emotionally.

Question: Does this mean that a person will not be able to escape pain if he leaves New York City or London?

Answer: Of course not, but when he sits on his lawn with his lawn mower and his dog, he will think that as part of a normal life he still needs to be in good relations with others. He will think about that, and receive such blows that he will understand that you still need to be connected to others.

Question: Will he understand where these blows are leading him, or will he run to connection like an animal?

Answer: He will have to understand, and it will be a very long and painful process, but he will understand. The blows will develop a higher level of thinking in a person.

Comment: We keep returning to blows.

My Response: It is impossible to change any other way. It can be very easy and peaceful, or through many problems and even wars.

Question: How do you see this personally?

Answer: I am trying to explain to humanity with all my might that there is no choice and that it is in a state in which the right relations between people is a must, and yet we still don’t see that people understand.

But at least you can already speak about it and you are not deterred, silenced, or ridiculed because everyone today is in a state in which they don’t know what to do with themselves, with their children, with their future.

Comment: The call for connection, to say something nice to others, to think positively about others seems a little childish, and this may be the reason that they cannot listen to you yet.

My Response: I understand them.

Question: What can we add so that what you say will be like an arrow that hits the heart, so that they will feel the depth there is behind these simple words?

Answer: It will happen, and they will begin to understand that there is no other choice, that these are not just words, but that nature is guiding us in this direction.

Question: Will a person have the feeling that we are living according to the law of nature?

Answer: Definitely! It will come and it will be fulfilled and implemented in practice.

Comment: Years ago you said that jobs would be lost, businesses would fail, and the world’s economy as a whole would decline.

It is interesting that the problem of the whole world will be what to do with the unemployed. The most important thing is that people will have to receive not only the means to exist but also some meaning of life, a way of self-realization. Business magazines that usually write about money and work are suddenly writing about these notions being important.

My Response: Because this is a problem: what to do with the unemployed population. Imagine all working women returned to their homes. And at least another 10%, say half of the men, also lose their jobs. Only about 20% of the world’s population will still be working. All the others are not needed. In other words, they do not need to work if they are doing unnecessary work.

What to do with them?

Question: This is their first question: what to do with the people who are part of the unemployed population?

Answer: Fully engage these people with studies and education. Only education can change the world. For this purpose, these billions of people are now being freed up.

Question: Do you see the upper program in this? Are billions of people being freed up to start studying?

Answer: Yes. So that they are re-educated into humans.

You open doors and let out a few billion people in order for them to sit at desks, at computers, in some kind of halls, anywhere, and start learning to be human. Humans in the highest sense of the word.

Question: Are you talking about learning how to relate to each other?

Answer: Not just that. Understanding the program of nature, the purpose of nature, the purpose of your own development. Which way they are headed, where they are going, so that it will be clear to them how they are controlled by the forces of nature. They do not exist in some kind of misunderstanding, in some kind of oblivion, but they are affected by forces, and they understand the impact of these forces and are in an organic mutual connection with them. Thus, they move forward in understanding this entire program.

Question: Are you saying that we have been dealing with the consequences all this time, and now we have to study the reason? Why did we appear in this world?

Answer: Yes, of course!

Question: Isn’t this the destiny of some unique, talented people?

Answer: No, absolutely everyone should learn this.

Question: Will a person accept this?

Answer: Yes, this will go down very well!

Question: Do you think a person will get into finding out why he came to this world and what is the purpose of his coming?

Answer: There are no problems, this is how it will be.

Question: Another most important question I read in an article is: Will the people have to get not only a livelihood but also a new meaning of life?

Answer: This is the most important thing.

Comment: That is, these two questions are connected. Humanity, 2 to 3 billion people have been freed to understand what they exist for.

My Response: Yes, and all the rest of humanity will get this through them as well. There is no way to escape this. It all depends only on the way we do it, quickly with little blood or with great loss and suffering.

Comment: The American film academy has decided that as of 2025 movies that are nominated for the Oscar under the category of the best motion picture will have to meet certain requirements with regard to race, ethnicity, and gender.

The academy has set four standards, one of which is that the leading characters will have to be representatives of an ethnic group or a minority group and 30% of all the actors in secondary roles and other roles also have to be from the same category. What is more, members of the same category also have to be members of management, and so on, and only films that will meet these criteria will be eligible for an Oscar.

My Response: And if the crew in the film is all like that, from the top of the Academy to the janitor, then the film will not work? If all are played by African Americans, Asians and one hapless white man who sweeps the floor. Will it fail?

Question: It turns out that such a film will not meet the criteria because it does not meet the requirements. How do you relate to such things?

Answer: It is insanity.

Question: According to what assumption should the members of the academy work? Today they assume that everyone should be seen and that no one should be forgotten.

Answer: No, we need to demand that movie directors and producers make good realistic films that should touch people. They should not choose the actors because they are white, black, red, etc.

There should be such movies that we will not even notice the actors’ skin color. The world of motion pictures should be a world that does not take a person’s skin color into account, or you may choose an actor not according to his skin color, not because it is the main thing, but because this actor can play the role better. You shouldn’t speak about skin color first. You relate to his spiritual level or to the level of his acting.

If that’s the case, there will be regression and directors will certainly begin to compete between them.

Comment: Producers will surely meet these criteria in order to receive subsidies so that the film will succeed in the Oscars.

My Response: When they apply to the academy, it should not be that I have a certain number of white actors and a certain number of black actors, and a certain number of redheads, and so on.

Question: So what principles should be followed so that a movie can win the Oscar?

Answer: I would give an Oscar only a year after the movie has been released, for example, and then have a global vote, since such a form of art should be understood by everyone.

Question: Should there be certain rules as to which movie can win an Oscar? What should be special about it?

Answer: It should just not lead a person to perform some act of violence as a result of watching this movie.

Question: Do you mean that there should be no violence in movies?

Answer: Perhaps there should be, since it can be just the opposite, when a person sees acts of violence, he may feel repulsed by it. But just so that it doesn’t drive a person to such actions.

Question: What message should a movie convey?

Answer: It should convey a humane message only.

Question: What do you mean by that?

Answer: A movie that calls for connection between people, that everyone is equal, to ascend above any differences, and also against any racist views.

Do you want there to be order? We need education, and Hollywood is not education.

Comment: There is pain in the world. As you keep saying, this pandemic is not the end of it. The UN has already accepted that we have lost this fight with more than a million dead and more than 30 million infected, and that we need to unite. But how? How can we unite? Suddenly Karabakh! Nation on nation! Such hatred is spilled out that did not exist before. What’s going on in Belarus?! What’s happening in America?!

My Response: The world, of course, has descended…

Question: What about Israel? The government can’t make basic decisions. It seems that we were not put in apartments, in rooms, the virus didn’t scare us.

Answer: Mutual pretensions are the strongest.

Question: This is staggering! What kind of nature is this?! How can we work with it?

Answer: This is the next state of egoism. The fact that I pay less and less attention to the consequences that are allegedly threatening. I am threatened, others are threatened, it doesn’t matter, I don’t feel it. What can I do?

Question: A person has no responsibility. Should there be a change of mind or a change of heart?

Answer: “What the mind doesn’t do, time does,” the Bible says.

We are trying to speed up this process of the revelation of evil. For what? For humanity to tell its ego: “That’s it! You don’t rule me anymore! I’m separating myself from you! This is you, and this is me.”

What can I do to realize that it is guiding me all the time? I get up in the morning and feel that it is guiding me: “Get up, go there, do that, sit down this way, that way…” It commands me all the time.

Question: Should I admit that I am its slave?

Answer: I don’t admit it. I begin to understand this and begin to rebel against it because I see that, in principle, it does not prepare anything good for me.

We need to rise above this so our earthly nature does not guide us. We can’t go on living this way anymore.

Question: We can talk about egoism and man, about the fact that egoism turns us, pushes us, spins us, and, in principle, pushes us into the abyss. Can an ordinary person reason like that or not?

Answer: If you explain all this to him all the time, he will eventually be able to see, on the one hand, the explanation, and on the other hand, the blows of fate.

Explanations must always be before his eyes. And he would not see them, read them, or anything. But the time comes, he gets blows, and then he suddenly sees. Or begins to search frantically: “What should I do?! How do I get rid of the problem?!” And then he begins to see, to listen.
