Comment: You spoke a long time ago about the European Union not being sustainable and that sooner or later it would break up. In the commentary to the news you gave a few days ago, you said that England would leave the European Union, and that is indeed what happened. The English press asks, “How can it be that the pollsters and financial analysts were wrong?”

Answer: This is not the final result. If pressure were put on the English people, they would vote in the opposite way. I still think the result was correct because the European market, or more precisely bazaar, will fall apart anyway. The sooner that happens, the better because otherwise the situation could lead to war.

Question: Is the “ship sinking” unequivocally and is fleeing from it urgent?

Answer: Without a doubt it is not possible to plug the holes. In Europe there are many more problems than in the rest of the world. We see that the lion’s share of the news is about the European continent.

Comment: A petition to arrange for another referendum in regard to the membership of Britain in the European Union has already gathered two million signatures.

Answer: They could gather even more than two million because 60 million people live in England. The number of signatures could even reach 30 million.

Comment: You also said that Britain’s withdrawal from the EU would cause an echo in Europe, and this is truly so. The Parliamentary group leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom in the Dutch House of Representatives Geert Wilders said, “I am very envious of them and hope that we can do the same thing next year in the Netherlands.” Matteo Slavini writes, “Next in line will be the Netherlands, Sweden and France. And we are suggesting that Italy will not remain on the ‘sinking ship.’”

Marine Le Pen writes, “Europe has not died, but the European Union has been shaken. This is the rebirth of a nation and now it is up to them to create a new European project, a new type of cooperation.”

Answer: There certainly must be cooperation, but with the right preparation. And not under the command of Germany’s pressuring everyone. The right union can be created only after training and education toward unity for all Europeans, and above all the politicians, those who operate and run everything. They don’t know how to behave and only create business contacts.

Everything must be built on union between people. If there is no unity, it is preferable for Europeans to be as far as they can be from each other. We understand this from daily life. It is easy to imagine what would happen if five families were living in a single apartment. It is absolutely clear that everything would head toward a rupture.

Question: So what if the Europe that is left now were to reconsider and say, “We want to create a single nation here”?

Answer: Who can do this and who wants to? Who understands how to do this and where the forces and the means for this are? And of course, who would provide the education? It would take years to create such enormous changes for such a large mass of people. This is what Abraham did in ancient Babylon; he educated the small nations to rise above all of the separation and united them into a single people.

Comment: I think that the small current that followed Abraham would have to gather strength.

Answer: This current will awaken gradually and be revealed, but this would take even more time.

Question: Must we wait a few more decades for the disintegration of Europe?

Answer: We hope that everything will happen much faster. These actions accelerate development.

Comment: Humanity loves secrets and conspiracies.  Lately articles about the Bilderberg Club are appearing. The group has existed for close to 60 years, but very little has been written about it in the media; the decisions that come out of a meeting of the group always remain hidden.

Representatives of 130 nations were invited to their recent meeting. An article about the event said that this was a session of the “world government” that arranges all kinds of events that happen in the world.

Answer: They can gather, but nothing special will happen.

A single higher power manages creation and everything operates according to its laws. Our world is divided into two opposing forces: the force of egoism and the force of altruism.

The force of egoism develops naturally. We must summon and attract the force of altruism into our world, balance the power of egoism with its help, and establish the middle line, with harmony between them.

This is a person’s role in our world, his task is to build himself. If we succeed in doing this, then it will be good. And if we don’t succeed, then nature will again move us to the left side, the egoistic, negative side, to awaken, encourage, and bring us the awareness that without the right line, without the good property of connection and love, we cannot do anything. The wisdom of Kabbalah is the method with whose help we can summon and attract the positive force into our world.

Comment: As far as it seems, people think that the world government can “return” the immigrants to their nations, purify Europe of them, and actually decide and determine something.

Answer: I don’t think that the world government will deal with this issue because it is in accord with what is happening. It is not against the immigrants. Moreover, according to the general predictions, all the nations of Europe and Asia will move North because of the sharp warming in the weather that threatens the world. Toward the middle of the 21^st century, it will be impossible to live in this area.

All who are in or near equatorial regions will go up and populate Europe and Siberia, and all below the equator will move in toward Australia, New Zealand, South America, and the Amazon. Therefore, the broad band around the equator, including the Middle East, will be almost empty.

The rulers of the world understand this trend, they see that there is no other way out and it is necessary to gradually accept the migrants for whom there is no particular importance to any nation. What is important to them is to ensure their leadership as much as possible through this process.

Question: It is written in ancient sources, “The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD” (Proverbs 21:1). What does this sentence indicate in relation to the world government?

Answer: The meaning is that it is in this manner that the Creator conveys His policies through them.

The upper force is not some kind of old man who sits somewhere up in heaven. It is the enormous general system of nature that must bring the whole world to balance.

And freedom of choice was specifically given to humanity for this purpose, and if they use it correctly, they can bring themselves, and through themselves, all of nature, to the correct general interaction, to unity. But if they make mistakes, then nature will teach them that it is forbidden for them to behave like this.

I hope that we bring to our attention our role in the dissemination of the wisdom of Kabbalah. This wisdom is given to us so that we will not be forced to go blindly but with understanding from where and why the “blows” come. Only then can we change ourselves and bring the whole world to balance.

If we advance without the method of the wisdom of Kabbalah, then we will receive a few more blows and from this we will learn to look at what is happening more correctly. “What the mind won’t do, time (or life) will do.”

We hope that we will succeed in introducing the correct perception of reality to the world and the possibility of attaining, with minimal loss, balance, which is the goal of creation.

In the News (Psychologies): “Each of us at least once had a sudden epiphany: all the known facts, like puzzle pieces, add up to one big picture, we did not notice before. The world is not so, as we thought. A person close – impostor. Why we do not notice the obvious facts and believe only to what we want to believe?

“Insights associated with unpleasant discoveries: betrayal by a loved one, betrayal by a friend, a loved one cheating. We repeatedly scroll pictures from the past and wonder – all the facts were before our eyes, why didn’t we noticed anything? We accuse ourselves of naivete and lack of attention, but they are not to blame. The cause is the mechanisms of our mind and psyche.

“The reason lies in the blindness of information on the neurobiological level. The brain is faced with a huge amount of sensory information that needs to be processed efficiently. To optimize the process, one constantly designs models of the world on the basis of previous experience. Thus, the limited resources of the brain concentrate on processing new information that does not fit into his model. …

“We ‘remember’ what is beneficial for us to remember at the moment, and just as easy to ‘forget’ the wrong information. …

“Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, Daniel Gilbert (Daniel Gilbert) warned – people tend to manipulate the facts in order to maintain the desired picture of the world. This is how the defense mechanism of our psyche works. Faced with conflicting information, we unconsciously give preference to the facts that fit our picture of the world, and reject data that contradict it. …

“Our eyes only notice in the literal sense what it wants to find the brain.

My Comment: These facts are not new and have even been studied extensively, but the problem remains. Because our whole nature is a desire to receive and to enjoy—there is nothing more to us—everything is aimed only at our filling ourselves, despite the research results, we will still serve our desire blindly.

Only the wisdom of Kabbalah allows us to ascend above our nature, and then we will not see the distorted picture that our egoistic brain depicts for us, but the true picture of the world. It is upper world, the world above our narrow self-interest.

In the News (lenta.ru): “In science, to enlighten humanity, there are only three questions: How did the universe come to existence, how did life begin, and how to animals learn to think? …

“Many processes can be explained with the help of such a thing as ‘self-organizing active media.’ …

“In other words, the mechanisms of self-organization in the physical and chemical, biological, ecological and social systems can be treated with common positions. Having an idea of the self-organization of active media, you can create models that describe such seemingly disparate processes as working laser coagulation, chemical reactions, the heartbeat, or the appearance of annual rings of a tree. …

“The active medium of self-organization follows the same principles, regardless of size. …

“Self-organization – is the basis of all life on earth. It is important to bear in mind that this is determined by the self-organization of primarily physical laws – even in biology, but people are used to interpret biology through chemical compounds. …

“You can often hear the expression ‘the organism is in balance with the environment.’ Physicist interpret this phrase clearly: ‘the organism is dead.’ We are essentially in non-equilibrium and far from thermodynamic equilibrium, and even if we talk about our relationship with the environment, then we are in thermodynamic, energetic and material balance. It can be a stationary or non-stationary relationship, but not equilibrium. Equilibrium can only be in the grave.

“The very essence of life – is a difference of chemical interaction and electrical potentials, concentrations and so forth. Only in the case of inequality and imbalance can there be a chemical process. From the viewpoint of biophysics, the energy of life – is a parabola. At the lowest point, life dies, in a sense; it’s not there. Self-organizing processes begin in an active environment when balance ends and the system is removed from it.

“If we take the two systems with the same electrical potential – no matter how big it is – then there is no movement of charges can not be. Asymmetry is needed. This – the main condition for the beginning of the process. Chemical processes are driven by physics.This built the modern systems of biology and biophysics. And now, one of the most promising areas – the science, which, on the one hand, includes biophysics, and on the other – Synergetics.

“Synergetics, or the theory of complex systems, is an interdisciplinary field of science that studies the general laws of phenomena and processes in complex nonequilibrium systems (physical, chemical, biological, environmental, social and others) based on the inherent principles of self-organization. Synergetics is an interdisciplinary approach, as the principles that govern the processes of self-organization, are represented by the same, regardless of the nature of the systems, and their descriptions must be suitable general mathematical formalism.

“The famous French physicist, Nobel laureate Pierre Curie said that nature is driven by symmetry breaking, movement itself is essentially a distortion of symmetry, because symmetry – is a static state.

“Keep in mind that nature is often not subject to the fact that physics is traditionally called ‘the law.’ For example, Hooke’s law – the claim that the deformation that occurs in an elastic body is directly proportional to the force applied to it, this law does not apply to large deformations… . So, not every law of physics is a law of nature. It is necessary to understand the proportional linear dependencies. Here it becomes clear that far from equilibrium can undergo smooth sections and can enter the so-called bifurcation point – that is, split.”

“Very often, (especially politicians) say that development should follow the path of evolution, not revolution. But evolution, including biological, after a smooth development is the bifurcation, and predicting what will be, after passing the point of bifurcation, is very difficult.”

My Comment: Kabbalah speaks about a single source, a single nature and development of everything that exists on the basis of four phases of HaVaYaH. Development happens under the influence of the Ohr Yashar (Direct Light). The basis and foundation of creation is desire. Its developmental law is the attainment of resemblance and equivalence to its origin, the Creator.

Opinion (Ria News): “New strategies for taming the masses

“It should be understood that the question of the control of the masses has always worried the powerful who have tried a variety of systems to suppress the will and rights of the majority: slavery, feudal dependence, the Inquisition, genocide, political repression, and so on. However, these systems have proven to be ineffective, because ‘mobs’ continually rebelled against the ruling class and destroyed the existing order.

“But what is necessary for the 80% of the population who do not belong to the ruling class (1-2%) or its service staff (10-15%)? Rudely, it is food and the ability to reproduce. So, the tribal leaders, slaveholders, landowners, industrial magnates, and then the financial tycoons always have been able to control the food markets, and through it to manipulate the masses, but they could not subdue the conscience of each individual. That is why the elite could not prevent the revolutions against them.

“The 21st century has fundamentally changed the situation: technology was invented for the transformation of individuals into thoughtless and managed hominids — functionaries with limited and increasingly narrow competencies. …

“The main instruments of the formation of a managed mass man are the Internet and electronic gadgets that have replaced teachers, educators, and even parents for many young people. …

“People are divided and disoriented. They are the most individualized and are oriented to strictly metered portions of real and virtual goods. The mass of individuals are programmed for activities in parameters and ranges, that exclude the sovereign and sensible behavior. …

“In fact, today a large part of humanity voluntarily moves through the shaping of the Western elites electronic Gulag [forced labor camp system], which forms the standards of behavior and needs.

“From mind control to modeling behavior

“Control over people’s consciousness by those who rule – is not just a guarantee against unplanned revolution. …

“The control of consciousness allows the world elite to gradually get rid of ‘excess’ humanity by changing the reproductive behavior of the masses. …

“The LGBT movement, gay marriage and the family, sexual ‘education’ (corruption) of children at an early age, and other technology promotion ‘new’ family, social and educational policy directed specifically so that the masses will lose the ability to reproduce. …

“In the meantime, the mass man is prescribed to be a member of any controlled totalitarian sect or sports club. It is important that he receives epinephrine [adrenaline], at soccer matches, mountain climbing, or in unconventional sexual practices.

“‘A civil servant is allowed to be engaged with the protection of flora and fauna and to volunteer with permitted ‘civil’ movements, but it is forbidden to work to change the unjust world order.”

My Comment: Kabbalah warns that only the implementation of the method of integral association can bring the society in every nation throughout the world into balance; otherwise, we can truly expect a war with the mass annihilation of humanity.

Comment: Seventy-five years ago, on the 22^nd of June at 3:06 fascist armies crossed the Soviet border and the Great Patriotic War began.

Answer: I was born right after the war and I felt it throughout my childhood and my youth. As boys, we used to unearth traces of the war and often found helmets, machine guns, and other parts of military equipment. There were many such cases and this greatly upset us, but one generation follows another and people forget everything.

The generation after the war still remembers something, but then everything is erased in the third generation and the fourth generation doesn’t remember anything, is not afraid, and don’t know what war is.

Those who were born in the fourth generation after the war don’t watch war movies because they don’t feel that the war is related to them. This is not a subject that exists in their lives, their imagination, and their internal informational records.

Question: Aren’t they moved by war stories?

Answer: No, everything disappears and so wars repeat themselves.

The last world war was on the brink of nuclear war and eventually ended with a nuclear bombing. The next war may be many times more intense, but unfortunately people don’t learn anything and society allows fascist education. Mutual hatred overflows.

It is not the masses, but the governments who revive everything over and over again and incite nations against each other with the help of modern technology. What is happening is simply unbelievable.

The upper force pushes us to choose whether to follow the right and good way by which we will correct ourselves and ascend to its level, which is the goal of creation; or we may learn by other ways that we cannot live in peace on this Earth in its primitive everyday life like animals.

Question: Does this mean that corporeal well-being and a peaceful family life are unrealistic values?

Answer: We should understand that it isn’t possible to live for such values; it is worthwhile and is simply impossible. The only thing we can do is to ascend above ourselves.

If we don’t, we will once again face terrible afflictions like people burning as a result of nuclear bombs. If humanity has to undergo such sufferings, it will still understand afterward that there is no other way and that it has to ascend to the next level of its spiritual evolution.

Nature is developing according to four levels and the world has already undergone the evolutionary levels of the still, vegetative, and animate nature. Today we have to ascend to the last level, the human level. We have to attain the fourth level of nature. If we manage to do so, we will ascend comfortably and easily, and if we don’t, we will face a path of sufferings.

The wisdom of Kabbalah is the method of correction. Those who engage in it have a serious mission to bring it to the world. Let’s try to do it together!

Comment: Brussels continues to invent new ways to solve the refugee crisis. The European Union is ready to pay Africa 62 billion Euro for its citizens not to cross the borders of Africa.

Only half a year ago Europe offered 1.8 billion Euro to Africa, and they agreed. It’s only been half a year, and today they are talking about 62 billion Euro. The sum is rising at a dizzying speed.

Answer: Africa is beginning to recognize its power. This is similar to the situation in the past when nomadic hordes would besiege some city, undermining and shooting flaming arrows beyond the walls of the city. Even though the city would defend itself against them, they were still doomed.

Today Europe is doomed. Even if the Europeans built a wall like the Great Wall of China, it would not help, because if we check the facts from a historical point of view, the wall was not useful in the past. The wall was used to strengthen the spirit of the Chinese people, not as a defense against enemies.

So Europe will not rescue itself with money, but it has no other way out but to pay. Africa will take the money and continue to attack, and Europe will finish itself off by its own hands. Europe has become weakened in spirit, that period of history when it possessed great power has gone.

The Europeans are in a terrible internal state; on the one hand, they boast about themselves: “We are Europe!” But on the other hand, they feel a state of depression and inferiority. While they are boasting to each other about which of them is more European, the refugees are gradually conquering them. Today all over Europe a threatening spirit is hovering: “We are the conquerors!”

The one thing that Europe can do in the present situation is to use the true method of association according to the wisdom of Kabbalah and not the present European system. Only then will higher forces, the Upper Light, appear in Europe that will frighten the uninvited immigrants on the one hand, and will force them to change on the other. Only the Light can change everything!

Question: Smartphones are squeezing out everything else in a person’s life in the modern world. The University of Würzburg conducted a survey of 1,215 people and obtained some very interesting data.

37% of the respondents said that the smartphone means as much or more to them as friends. 29% value their smartphones as much as their parents. 21% believe that a smartphone is as important to them as a spouse or partner. 17% of the participants acknowledged that their smartphone is much closer to them than people.

Answer: It is obvious that a smartphone is necessary in daily life more than any other device. It protects us from too close contact with other people, and on the other hand, makes contact possible by compensating for the distance to another person.

It is very difficult for people to communicate directly because the ego keeps them apart from each other. So, with great pleasure, they communicate through the smartphone that contains all of the achievements of computer technology.

It will improve in the future and become so friendly to a person that it will replace every possible household device. A smartphone is also a television, radio, and even a device for telephone conversations. With its help, it will be possible to operate a washing machine or a microwave remotely, reserve lunch and dinner at a restaurant, buy tickets for various events, and so forth.

Question: This is understandable, but the questionnaire mentioned parents, friends, and husbands and wives.

Answer: All of these will exist only within the smartphone.

With it, it is possible to talk with parents, show them yourself and their grandchildren; everything is easy and good. This will lead to wider communication between people, and after that, it will be possible to fill it gradually with other, more meaningful content.

Question: Why do you emphasize the importance of physical encounters among students of Kabbalah? Why not make it possible to have smartphone circles?

Answer: First and foremost, the smartphone makes it possible to come in contact with each other from a distance.

This is to say, first, there is distancing between people, and after that, they will create contact remotely. The ego becomes relaxed because the person is distant from others.

Among the students of the wisdom of Kabbalah, it needn’t be that way. On the contrary, the student must be in close contact with others. This is work with the ego, so smartphones won’t help with this.

In the News (Russian Bazaar): “The technological revolution and the popularity of electronic devices has led to a sharp drop in the labor productivity of Americans. People have begun to move more slowly, and the sense of responsibility and discipline has declined significantly. That is the conclusion reached by experts at CareerBuilder Resource as a result of a large-scale survey of employers. Today, one in five managers believes that his subordinates engaged in professional duties less than 5 hours within a standard 8-hour day.

“Smartphones have demolished a variety of businesses – from small car washes in the provinces of the country to financial companies in the skyscrapers of big cities. Employers complain that their subordinates pick up their smartphones every 15 – 20 minutes. Prohibiting the use of phones during business hours, does no good. People are offended or they easily dismiss the rule or they make discrimination claims to the authorities. …

“The productivity slowdown was influenced not only by high-tech, but also the crazy protection of subordinates from their employers, carried out by the Democratic Party. Strengthening of trade unions, raising the minimum wage, the right to sue the management for any trivial matter, as well as the possibility not to work but to live at the expense of the state – all this led to the discredit of work as such. …

“A number of California researchers said that if the US returned to the level of productivity of a century ago (after World War I), it would be enough that the current employees worked 3 – 4 hours a day. …

“According to 48% of employers, the productivity slowdown is reflected most of all in the quality of work. Even if a person does very little, even this minimum is of very low quality.

“The less a person does, the greater is his contempt for higher management.

“The vast majority of small business owners in the United States stated the main criterion for the selection of potential employees are honesty, responsibility and discipline. Surprisingly, even a quarter of a century ago, the overall leading factor in the selection of workers was their education and work experience.”

My Comment: The reason for the growing laziness is the developing egoism. The motivation to work will be renewed only in a collective that will have a sublime goal, as Baal HaSulam writes in his book “The Last Generation.”

In the News (Russian Bazaar): “‘No one disputes the fact that the institution of marriage is dying, – says Bauer.- The question is how to deal with this fact. We can not turn back the clock and make the church a major institution in the country. Also, we can not force the young to have the reverent and sacred attitude toward marriage inherent in the older generations. So maybe everything that happens – is for the better ’

“If the ‘anti-marriage’ trend does not change, then already in 2025, Americans will be much more likely to get divorced than to marry.”

My Comment: Growing egoism separates people from each other more and more. Bringing them together is possible only by the upper Light. Studying the wisdom of Kabbalah spurs and summons the action of the Light. Otherwise we will see masses who are estranged from each other.
