Comment: Science has debunked the concept of death. According to science, a person’s life does not end with death. Some scientists say that consciousness persists even after death.

My Response: Where can this be proven, shown, understood, or felt?

Comment: They say the cerebral cortex, the thinking part of the brain, emits waves for about 20 seconds after death.

My Response: So we live for another 20 seconds. Big deal!

Question: Why study the experience of death if all paths ultimately lead to nowhere?

Answer: It is very intriguing. What if I find something that tells me I am immortal? Then I would see my life in a completely different way!

Question: Is there a concept of death in Kabbalah?

Answer: No, in reality, there is no death. There is no time. How can there be death? There is only a transition between states, nothing more.

Question: How does a transition from one state to another occur in spirituality? Is it also cyclical, like life – death – life?

Answer: In spirituality there is no such thing as we see in our world! Living, biological matter has nothing to do with spirituality. It may live or die in our perception, but it is entirely unrelated to the spiritual. We do not sense spiritual matter, and it is not connected to the physical. Does the death or life of the physical body say anything about the spiritual?!

Question: Is there such a concept as a “spiritually dead person”? What does it mean?

Answer: A person is spiritually dead because there is no spirit in them. Spirit refers to the quality of bestowal to others, not the quality of receiving from others.

Our earthly life is about the desire to receive from everything around us, in every form—on the still, vegetative, animal, and human levels.

Spiritual life, on the other hand, is when we do not take from outside, but give from within, when we try to share, help, and radiate outward. This is called spiritual life. Change one life for the other and you will discover what immortality is.

Comment: Physicists say that a part of you will live on for a very long time. And that part is your energy. They say that according to the first law of thermodynamics, the energy that sustains life is preserved and cannot be destroyed. Beautiful, is it not?

My Response: Very beautiful, but it does not exist at all. This is because our world does not exist; it exists only in our imagination. Therefore, everything we perceive as bodies, our lives, birth, development, death, all this is only our imagination, within us, and nothing outside.

Everything we see around us, all this vast, solid existence, is only our imagination.

Question: Then what is a person?

Answer: A person, too, is the same. Within us is a kind of mechanism that we program in a specific way. It spins the images of our world in which we supposedly live. Just as you sleep and see a dream in which you seem to have experienced something, so, too, this life is like a dream.

And then you wake up: “Oh! Was it a dream or life?” No, it was so-called life, which is, in essence, a dream.

That is all there is. Our current life is simply a state from which we have not yet awakened.

Question: Then perhaps people in their quest to uncover the mystery of death are searching for real life?

Answer: That is exactly what they are doing. They just do not know how to find it. They are seeking new adventures within this dream.

Question: What, then, is true life?

Answer: To wake up. And you can only wake up when you start to rise above your egoism. This is what Kabbalah teaches—how to uncover the secret of life, how to wake up and truly live.

Question: What then is the secret of immortality, not of the physical body, but of the spiritual?

Answer: The physical body does not exist either. It exists only in our imagination, just like this entire world. That is why the world is called “Olam” from the word “ne’elam” (hidden), and the word “ha’alama” (concealment), a shadowy state. That is our current condition.

Question: How then can a person pass through these “holograms,” uncover this life, and achieve immortality?

Answer: To do this one must engage in the method of their own resurrection.

When a person begins to see life not in themselves, but in others, themselves in others, this is how they awaken.

Comment: Scientists say we are close to editing genetics to create “designer babies.” Some scientists say genetically modified babies are highly desirable to protect people from diseases.

My Response: I know that any interference with nature has bad consequences. We try to get into everything possible that seems desirable, necessary, positive, or valuable to us, but in the end the opposite happens because nature does not tolerate such interference.

We must act according to its laws. There is only one way to change yourself for the better—by evoking the proper influence of nature, that is, the influence of the upper light. That is the only way.

Question: If a person suddenly decides he can change himself, if he can change his body, can he maybe change his soul?

Answer: The soul, he cannot, but the earthly qualities, he can.

Comment: A person does not just seek to change DNA; he wants to make the “future person” better than himself.

My Response: This is not the way to do it! If I, say, make my son or grandson particularly talented in music, naturally he will develop in this area, apply himself, and get pleasure from it. He may even bring others pleasure. But will it make him happy?

Happiness, the most critical indicator of our quality of life, does not depend on creative success. I am talking about creative success, but not everyone can be a great musician, artist, etc. We also need masons; we need everyone.

Question: So what do we need?

Answer: We need happiness, that is all. A person should feel happy. He can feel happy once he understands why, for what, and how he exists, the world he lives in, and how he constantly transforms it and improves himself and the world. This brings him true happiness.

Happiness is achieved when you do positive things for others and when others do positive things for you. The exchange of correctly directed influences on each other brings us a sense of happiness.

There is no greater happiness than feeling like a baby in your mother’s arms. What a blessing! We see this feeling is given to us by nature.

This is how we should feel about being in human society, humanity, and in life, not having to worry about anything, being in the hands of a society that gives us such a feeling. There is neither life nor death, and nothing else matters, only a feeling of mutual happiness. I bring pleasure to my “mother,” and my “mother” enjoys me.

Question: An idyll. How can we achieve it in this dirty, terrible world?

Answer: To do so, we must educate and bring people to such a state. Treat each other like a mother toward a baby, and at the same time make them feel how everyone treats them like a mother treats a baby.

It is all in our hands; we just need to change the egoistic nature of man a little.

A person’s desire is not a consequence of genetics, but a consequence of his spiritual development. Nothing will help here, only the science of Kabbalah. It will give a person the opportunity to influence themselves, change themselves, and become, on the one hand like a kindhearted baby in the arms of nature and society, and on the other hand, it will give one the opportunity to organize society so that everyone is treated like by a mother.

Humanity will come to this. We must surely change our attitude toward ourselves, nature, and others—toward everything.

Question: When we intrude genetically, we operate on a future person from the outside. How can you add the idea from the outside that you need to develop internally, to develop your soul?

Answer: We must explain it; we need to explain how to achieve happiness to people. This is our task.

This is a very important work that should be starting to manifest in our time. Humanity has a demand for this because it does not see a way to achieve happiness, which is a universally correct, normal state where people do not think about what will happen to them the next moment; they just live happily, treat each other correctly, and create an atmosphere they feel good in.

This is not easy; it is achieved by working on one’s egoism, moreover, systematically and universally. Why should we not do it? At least, the years of life one imagines he is living would be pleasant.

Later he would begin to see that by taking part in the lives of others in this way, he transforms his life and lifts it into other dimensions. That is, suddenly, his sense of life is not determined by his body, but by his connection with others. And to be connected to others gives him a sense of eternity.

If this does not depend on my body, I lose the whole order of time and our earthly events, my sense of the world, and my earthly life. I exist in a state with no beginning or end, one measured by different parameters with greater connection between us, greater sense of freedom, elevated above the ego, connection with all people, and attainment of a common force called “the Creator.”

Everything is in us; everything is before us. Let us build such a world instead of today’s problematic one.

Question: Sweden is known for its emphasis on work-life balance with generous vacation time, parental leave, and flexible working hours, which generally contribute to lower burn out rates compared to other countries.  Despite this, some studies indicate burn out is still a growing issue in Sweden and some research suggests that younger workers may be more susceptible. It seems the problem is that people cannot manage their time correctly.

Question: How can you fill your free time? A vacuum forms. How can a person fill it so he does not suffer?

Answer: With the meaning of life. The meaning of life is what you need to fill it with!

And it is nowhere to be found. The lack of meaning eventually begins to suffocate a person! He sees his whole life before him; after all, we keep developing. A person sees where it begins, how it continues, and where it ends. And now, instead of 50 to 60 years, life has become twice as long. Who needs this?

Question: What is the solution?

Answer: To reveal the true meaning of life given to us by nature. This is beyond our egoism, beyond our comprehension. To do this, you need to grow. To do this, we need to open our eyes and see a completely different nature, the system in which we exist, not our egoistic one.

Change the basis of mastering the universe and you will see where you really are and what kind of world you can discover for yourself. Press the button and change the whole world.

Question: Where is this button? Where can I find it?

Answer: In the human heart. Naturally! One must understand he needs to change himself and thus change the world.

Comment: In one of your programs, you said that the desire to search for the highest meaning of life cannot be bought. That is, you cannot find it and appropriate it.

My Response: Yes, it is impossible. If a person needs to discover the upper world, the meaning of life, then it is there, if not, then not. But judging by the current state of humanity, we see we are all headed there.

Today, many people are getting carried away, looking for and hoping to find at least another universe. Another universe! That is, I want to go beyond this ecumene, I want to see something else. If I depict this world to myself, and it is drawn in me, then I want to picture it differently. I want to draw it.

This is when the science of Kabbalah emerges and says: “Please, here are your brushes, here is a blank canvas for you—paint!” This is what people need to engage in.

Comment: It is a very optimistic picture. On one hand some entity destroys all the cardboard houses in a person as if dragging him into a new corridor. But a person, in the midst of this destruction, does not see this corridor. It is like there is some kind of partition.

My Response: This is our inner consent to reveal the insignificance of our understanding and the limitations of our feelings. It will pass. Life teaches us. I am a big optimist.

Question: Can you depict the new reality? You said, “Push a button in your heart, and you will reveal the new reality.” What will it look like?

Answer: “A button in the heart” means you need to push yourself and start perceiving the world around you and yourself differently. Then, you will see that you actually exist in another reality. This is truly a miracle, but it happens through you when you change yourself, reverse your values, and see another world—the opposite world.

Here we need to understand that our whole nature, our whole universe, and our whole world exist only in our imagination. And this imagination is currently egoistic. By changing it to an altruistic one, we will see a different world. This will be the upper world—the world of altruism, the world of love.

Question: Will it be the same world, but will we see it differently?

Answer: We do not see our world either. We see it in us, in our properties. If our properties change, we will see a new world.

We only need to change ourselves. This whole world around me, it does not exist. It is in our minds. Only in our minds! It is in the heart. Only in one’s heart.

There is a powerful exercise that is quite simple and I started using many years ago.

Whoever I have met on my way, be it man or insect, the first thought that I allow is: “I wish you happiness!”

But the most important thing is that this thought should really come first: “I wish you happiness.”

This thought will completely change what happens between you and this person. I say this from personal experience.

Sometimes it is very difficult when you meet an enemy, when you find yourself face to face with an unexpected, tough situation. But it is at this moment that you get the opportunity to create a different space around yourself. Before the negative emotion takes over you, you have time to transform it: “I wish you happiness.”

Try it and see how much everything in your life changes” (Richard Gere).

Question: Can this first thought “I wish you happiness” change the space between people?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Why?

Answer: Because one person sets himself in a positive way toward another without expecting anything in return.

Comment: That is remarkable.

My Response: It is incredible, yes.

Question: If I practice this exercise and mechanically try to do it, can it change me?

Answer: Yes, from egoism to altruism, from being a cold person to being kind.

Question: Can a person change?

Answer: Yes, this is the desire of a person to change. If he does not let go of this desire and constantly imagines how he can change in every instance, it transforms him.

Question: And does it work?

Answer: That is why it works.

Question: Tell me, can this exercise really be applied when meeting an enemy you hate, when emotions are overwhelming? Can one manage to insert this thought?

Answer: This needs preparation. A person must understand how he should relate to the enemy.

Question: But how? After all, it is still an enemy.

Answer: Why is it an enemy? This requires significant preliminary work. If such work has truly been done, a person would not be able to harm another. I am absolutely sure of this because we must become different. We must make the world different. If it depends on us, on people, we must remake ourselves.

Question: And where is the Creator in what you are saying?

Answer: The Creator does not want to be among people.

Question: Among such people?

Answer: At all! He gave us nature, He gave us the foundation to change ourselves. Based on this, He will relate to us differently.

Question: So do we have this spark within us to change ourselves? This point of light?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Even in complete darkness?

Answer: We are the most sophisticated egoists.

Comment: And still, you say there is this spark of light inside.

My Response: Yes.

Question: Why does Richard Gere, and you as well, insist that this thought must be the first, before all others, that it must push its way through?

Answer: Yes, before it gets spoiled.

Question: So all other thoughts spoil it?

Answer: Yes, but this thought, if it is first, it is interesting to see how a person will respond to you.

Question: If you constantly practice this exercise, falling, getting up, succeeding or not succeeding, can it change a person’s perspective on the world? Could this world suddenly become bright?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But isn’t it dark? Or is it bright? What is it?

Answer: It’s neither. That is, we can make it bright.

Question: If I tell everyone, “I want you to be happy,” and suddenly it works, does the world change and become happy?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But who is happy? The world or me?

Answer: You are happy.

Question: I am happy? So, the whole thing is for me to change?

Answer: The world is just a reflection of our inner states.

Question: So what I have inside is what I see?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What spiritual principles are involved here? Human principles are clear, but what about spiritual ones?

Answer: The spiritual principle is very simple: If you wish happiness to another and act on it, you create wonderful relationships between yourself and them.

Question: And that is a spiritual principle?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Can we say that in this way I also establish similar relations with the Creator?

Answer: Of course.

Question: And He with me?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: Some scientists believe that the most important process underlying creative genius is the tendency to pay attention to things that are usually ignored.

My Response: That has long been observed.

Question: For example, when Alexander Fleming noticed that blue mold was killing the bacterial culture in a Petri dish, he could have just washed it down the sink. But he continued his research and discovered penicillin.

Another example is that when we go for a walk in nature, our clothes can pick up burrs, which we simply clean off. But George de Mestral, while walking in the forest, paid attention to this phenomenon. While examining burrs under a microscope, he uncovered the principle behind Velcro.

To draw ideas from everything around you—unpleasant people, opponents, the world itself—you need to be an active listener, fully immersing yourself in your surroundings, and treat every moment as an opportunity for growth. Is this useful for an ordinary person?

Answer: An ordinary person will not benefit much from that. You truly need to be a Fleming or Einstein to notice such peculiarities of manifestations in nature to see something special in them that is interesting and warrants study.

How many people have cleaned mold from their dishes and pots? So what? You have to be a scientist to think: “What is this interesting formation? Why does it occur? What is the reason?”

For this, you need either to be a scientist or have an eccentric mindset—that happens too, but it is rare. Only then can you see a natural phenomenon and realize that it could inspire the creation of something, like a machine.

Comment: You have said that people in the society of the future will be valued for their inner beauty, involvement, and kind attitude. Right now, however, people seem to do the opposite; they focus on themselves, their own thoughts and emotions, and ignores what is happening around them.

My Response: That is actually good.

Question: Can the cognitive disinhibition of scientists help an ordinary person learn the inner beauty we need to achieve?

Answer: No, it cannot. That is not the way to achieve it. Humanity progresses very simply—only negative events lead to positive outcomes. If I see that something seriously hinders me, only then will I transition from it to something positive. That is the law of negation.

Therefore, there is no easy path to good outcomes for people. Only our negative discoveries about our lives, relationships, and everything within us will serve as a driving force for fostering better relationships.

Question: Can it not happen the other way around?

Answer: It is impossible! It is a law of nature. You need to argue more often. You must provoke such states deliberately, so you can later achieve better relationships.

Question: What does it mean to deliberately provoke?

Answer: “Let’s argue!” You cannot imagine how much this will free you from negative energy and how much you will uncover in a friendly way. And it must be friendly! Because you did not want to argue, but are now discussing things openly.

You start saying truthful things to one another and perceiving them in an entirely different way. In principle, you do not see each other as enemies, opponents, or adversaries. That is why you will perceive objections and remarks differently, in a friendly manner. It will become difficult to object to one another.

Comment: When we act friendly, there really is no inner defensiveness. A person becomes open to what the other is saying.

Answer: Exactly. Try combining these two approaches, and you will see how successful you become and how much less you argue for real.

Comment: People argue over trivial things because they simply do not hear each other.

Answer: No, it is not trivial! Never think that. Inside, there is a serious contradiction. A trivial matter is just a trigger that brings this state out, like in a war—something seemingly insignificant ignites the whole situation. But, in reality, a massive amount of explosive material has been building up inside.

Sports function this way, to defuse tension.

We need to reach a breaking point, an explosion, and only then can we continue developing positive relationships. Without these explosions, it is impossible. Without a moment of hatred, we cannot move toward the next degree of cooperation. It is a law! There is nothing you can do—it is a law.

There can be no good without evil. We must properly manage both states.

Question: How can a person value evil as the starting point for achieving good?

Answer: By treating both equally. Only then can we maintain balance, approach life correctly, and use both the positive and the negative to advance along our life’s path.

Question: How can this be done

Answer: By rising above both the bad and the good.

How? Only in the right environment with the science of Kabbalah can we transcend our nature. Then you will be able to manage it.

Question: A British movie called Before We Disappear dynamically changes scenes and storylines based on audience feedback. It uses technology to analyze audience reactions and adapts the story depending on the viewers emotional engagement.

If we could program the storyline of our own lives the way we want instead of being dictated by circumstances, could there be an interesting development of events?

Answer: Only a very egoistic person would think about controlling the world in this way. After all, I live in a world where billions of other people also exist. If I want to change myself, my existence, my life path, I inevitably would influence the destinies of everyone else. I cannot act solely based on what I want without affecting others.

Thinking about it is, of course, possible, but it is absolutely unrealistic and will never work! What could work is this: If I wish well for everyone, always think and act in ways that benefit everyone and I know what “good” truly means without making mistakes, then I can positively influence the world.

Question: What if it is not just one person but everyone who wants to do good so that everyone benefits?

Answer: For that to happen, we need to reveal the bigger picture—the fact that we are all interconnected, part of one network, and there is no escaping from each other!

If even in my thoughts I wish something negative for others, even just a little, I am already distorting the entire system of our connections. The system then turns back to me, the one who caused this distortion, and forces me to correct it. It bends me back into place. That is why we are all so unhappy.

We all try to bend each other to our will, but the system works differently, it bends us because each of us creates faulty connections.

Question: What percentage of people would need to desire to develop a caring scenario for this system to change?

Answer: It depends, are we talking about a specific country or the world as a whole? But, in principle, it is possible. Even in a particular region or group of people if they truly desire it. However, this requires changing the individual. And a person can only be changed through education. Without a serious educational system and a thoughtful approach to people, it will not happen.

How can you even approach people with this? First, they need the desire for it. Today, such desires are slowly forming.

Only then can you approach people and share what you have. And what do I have? I have the key to happiness, not just any happiness, but eternal, perfect happiness! At this point, people become bewildered: “What eternal, perfect happiness? I do not even want to open my eyes in the morning.”

Question: Can a person desire this on their own?

Answer: To do so they would need to go through very serious trials.

Comment: This leads to a very pessimistic scenario.

My Response: I am not pessimistic because the program of nature exists and it will lead us to this outcome. I only wish to soften its course. That is all! I have no pessimism whatsoever. I act, I believe, to the fullest extent possible.

Comment: It is a life’s work. When people dedicate themselves to their life’s work, they draw inexhaustible motivation from the process itself.

My Response: You might think that a Kabbalist has endless energy, that their inner volcano is constantly bubbling and erupting with steam through its summit.

Question: So what is the constant driving force for a Kabbalist?

Answer: Only one thing—direct connection with the Creator who governs everything and with whom you must constantly feel mutual action, a partnership.

Comment: There is a genre of computer games called God simulators. In them, the player controls a community of game objects and characters in the role of some higher being with supernatural powers.

Many God simulators do not set any specific tasks for the player, giving him the opportunity to freely and unlimitedly develop the society under his wardship.

Currently, 2.3 billion people play them, a third of the world’s population. About 30 million people have been playing them for over 30 years.

What should be the behavior model of a person who enters the game of a supernatural being, entity, subject?

Answer: We must understand that the essence of a higher power lies in absolute goodness, in absolute love. God is the begetter of everything. That is, as parents treat a child, so God should treat his creatures. It does not matter what they do. He created them like this and loves them as they are.

First of all, a person who is implanted in the image of God must love all people no matter what they are, because in the end, they are like that because He created them that way.

Second, it is possible that He created them defective but wants to correct them in order to teach them who they are. Now they are defective, they were created by a supposedly bad God in order to bring them to a corrected state, and then they would determine that God is good after all.

He made them like this so that they would see, in comparison with their past state, how special and perfect the current state to which He is leading them is.

God, the highest power, who led them through all these states from the worst to the best, taught them to appreciate the good because good can only be appreciated from bad.

And when a person thus goes through all these states, he becomes a scientist, wise, absorbing, and comprised of all negative and positive states. That is, then he truly becomes a man, filled with all the states that can only exist in nature. And then he can really relate to everything correctly.

Question: As a result of this game where the main character is God and man plays Him, he understands what a real man is, what God is?

Answer: Man has one goal: to discover for himself what truth is, veracity, and not to make himself feel good like little children who want to turn the game around. He is interested in the truth.

Truth is where good and evil, betrayal and kindness, and loyalty are combined together—absolutely everything together—and complement each other! They complement each other instead of being mutually exclusive.

And there is not a single force, not a single phenomenon in nature that would be superfluous, that would have to be destroyed, erased. On the contrary, there is no good without evil and evil without good.

A person who wants to comprehend perfection comprehends it in the combination of all the forces of nature, all the properties of nature, and then he really consists of all these properties. If he strives for this, then his game is correct.

Question: Can one person play this role?

Answer: Everyone must reach a state when he is completely identical to God. This is the goal of his development, the goal of his existence. Therefore, he is called Adam, from the word “Edomeh,” similar to the Creator.

Question: If you were given a model of a game where one entity is the higher power, what would you add to it?

Answer: If I have to accept it as perfect, how can I add anything to it? I would contribute absolutely nothing to the world—not to myself, nor to it, nor to anyone. I can only use what has been given to me. Because everything has been given precisely so that I could reach the level of the Creator, each of us. Therefore, nothing can be changed in the world. It is only necessary to use it in order to constantly approach the ideal of the Creator.

Question: So the meaning of the game is to correctly combine the incompatible?

Answer: Correctly combine all the elements of nature, society, and your own, in order to achieve this ideal.

Comment: Most of us are familiar with situations of inequality when one tramples on the other with his “moral superiority.” Researchers are wondering: what strategies help people avoid, tolerate, fight, and defeat those who treat them like an empty space?

Harvard biologist Edward Wilson shared a charming story…The story tells of two porcupines huddled together to keep warm on a cold night. When they got too close, they pricked each other with their needles, so they decided to warm themselves separately. But then they got too cold. After numerous attempts to get comfortable, they finally found a distance where they were comfortable and warm enough. They have since called this distance decency and good manners (Psychology, Harvard Business Review Russia).

Answer: Indeed, this is how we invent the rules of behavior and good manners that enter our lives. In other words, we kind of “paint over” our egoism, limit ourselves to palliatives, “trim the needles.” But they grow back.

We need to correct the egoistic nature of man so everyone acts for the benefit of others, and everyone feels good. This is a difficult correction, but only in this case will a person live in a kind “world without needles” where everyone is assured of being treated well.

Question: Is it possible to find meaning in emotional suffering?

Answer: People find great meaning in suffering. But suffering should lead a person to some result, or he will write literature, music, and so on. A lot of it is based on suffering. He will have to change himself, his attitude to the world, his philosophy of life, and so on.

Question: Do you attribute all this to suffering?

Answer: Suffering drives humanity.

Question: Can we accept it?

Answer: The majority of people accept suffering and are unable to counteract it.

But some people suppress their suffering and rise to the next degree.

Question: What do you do when plans fall apart? Many people have their plans fall apart, and today many have failed. Can a person react differently, calmer somehow?

Answer: It depends on his readiness. If he is prepared in advance for the fact that all his plans will fail and he will have to change them to the plans of the Creator, then he will survive it calmly.

Question: So I plan, but it will happen how the Creator wants it?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is it right to start the sentence with: “I plan”?

Answer: You have to, a person does plan. But he must convince himself that the plans of the Creator and not his will come true.

Question: So I do my thing, but it will happen as the Creator commands?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this how one should live? Is this the right message?
