Question: Local authorities in Guadalajara  approved a law allowing sexual contact in public places as long as no one complains about it. What is this stage in society when you want to reveal everything?

Answer: I think this is just a step toward defusing the antagonistic situation.

Question: What is sex from the point of view of Kabbalah? Why are people so attracted to it?

Answer: Sexual need is the highest in a person. “Of the pleasures of life, music is inferior to love alone.” This comes from our spiritual need to be in touch with each other and with a higher power; i.e., it has a very deep root.

We don’t yet understand the whole problem; we have not realized the need to develop a sexual culture in order to create such a correct framework for society when humanity could not feel squeezed in some way.

After all, if there is no outlet for sexual energy, then a huge number of problems arise that are purely physiological, social, etc.

This all needs very clear research.

Question: Can we say that by solving this problem, we can turn the movement of all mankind along a harmonious path?

Answer: Undoubtedly! In any case we will be able to better equip the entire human society in a radically different way.

Comment: You often say that the realization of many desires that a person shows (the desire for art, for music, in this case for sexual pleasures) is all a person’s desire for connection.

My Response: To connect with each other, with others, and with the Creator.

Question: How can this distance be expanded and shortened?

Answer: Education is necessary here. We really need to understand that sex is not just sex. It is a coincidence, a fusion, a union, a coupling, the transfer of certain feelings and energies to each other; it is a belief in another person, a feeling of him as a part, a partner.

But it requires education, proper awareness of what sex is. It is not just about satisfying sexual desire, no matter with whom, where, or how. It will not be enough for a person to simply satisfy himself.

He will be interested to know with whom he can do this so that he has the right impression and inner fulfillment so that he feels that at the same time he is in a special, inner, high contact with another person.

After all, according to Kabbalah, bodily intercourse is a consequence of spiritual intercourse between people when there is unification and the creation of a platform, a place, for the revelation of the Creator. As it is said: “Man, woman, and the revelation of the Creator between them.” That is what is called a proper contact.

This contact is already on a spiritual level, but it comes from an animal that needs to be raised to such a level. It is possible. However, this requires learning and being truly spiritual partners.

Comment: Question from Natalia: “I have an adult son. When he was a kid, he was happy about everything. Every new discovery made him genuinely smile: books, camping, movies, and music. Now that he has grown up, it is like the world has dimmed for him. He looks around, but he does not see anything. His heart is closed as if he has lost a taste for life. I often wonder where we made a mistake as his parents? Perhaps we have not given him enough? Perhaps we have missed something important? I am scared to watch how my son is losing interest for this world! I do not know how to help him.”

Answer: Basically, our entire life is made so we would lose attraction to this world, to this life. This is a problem. But what can we do?

Comment: This is exactly what she is asking you: “I do not know how to help him.”

My Response: To help him is just to explain how the world is structured, how it should be transformed, and how we should see a different world.

Comment: But you understand that parents do not really know how to explain this to the child. “The child” is a grown young man.

My Response: So get used to it.

Question: is this the way he will go on and develop?

Answer: The way all people live.

Question: But do you think that everyone is losing a taste for life today?

Answer: Of course. They either disconnect themselves from the question, or they think that they are doing the most correct thing.

Question: So you think that precisely this question has matured in him: “What do I live for?” This is why this change happened?

Answer: Yes, the lack of goal-setting.

Question: Meaning, “Where to go and why do I keep going?” That is it, and the person lies down and disconnects?

Answer: Yes

Question: This kid’s joy, where did it disappear?

Answer: There is no basis anymore to be joyful about life. What should I do next? Nobody knows.

Question: At what point does this transformation within a person come? It is not necessarily at this age; it can be at any age. How does it come, at what moment?

Answer: It comes the moment a person seems to have everything, but there is no goal.

Question: Does the upper one, the Creator, take away the goal? Why does He do that?

Answer: So that a person would consciously understand what he lacks and would consciously seek the Creator in his life.

Question: Tell me please, people are asking: “Should the parents help their adult child, or is it better to give him freedom?”

Answer: Parents can shorten the child’s path by a lot!

Question: Do you mean the quest?

Answer: The quest, yes, but in general, it does not matter. It depends on the nature of a person. If they wish to help their child, they have to be good psychologists.

Question: Where to direct him? Here he is in this state. Natasha and her husband write: “We are unable to help him.” Where to direct him?

Answer: You are unable to help, but you still have to point him to that state, a place that can direct him. I think that we should give the child the maximum development, and he will find it. There is no way without that.

Question: Tell us please, how can parents cope with the sense of guilt? Natasha writes, and one can feel that there is a sense of guilt for what has happened to him. How is it possible to get rid of this feeling?

Answer: If the parents had a clear sense of the goal, they would not be disturbed so much. However, since they do not have it themselves, then the child does not have it either, and they do not know what to give him.

Question: Does it mean you think that this moment is the time for the parents to search in addition to everything else?

Answer: Yes, of course.

Question: Does it mean it is like he is directing them to search for the purpose of life?

Answer: Yes

Question: Can parents in their efforts to return this vital force to their children harm them?

Answer: Yes, it is necessary here to select some very fine middle line that will be directing the child to the search without pressure.

Question: But the most important in your answer is the search?

Answer: Yes, our entire life is like that. It is given to us for that.

The Creator is doing that so that the child would find the source in this life, the source of his states so that he would want to reveal this source. Then he will not have any more questions. He will be attached to this source, he will be revealing it more and more, and the source will fulfill him more and more.

Comment: One of the major issues in modern society is work-related stress. Regardless of the type of work, emotional exhaustion including burnout eventually sets in often more than physical fatigue.

Scientists suggest that to combat constant workplace stress, one should practice compassion and mindfulness. Burnout, chronic illnesses from unhealthy lifestyles, and similar challenges could be called the plague of the 21^st century.

The key to overcoming burnout and its associated ailments is compassion. The central message of compassion is: “If you feel bad, stressed, or exhausted, help someone else. Show compassion, and you will feel better yourself.”

My Response: This approach meets no resistance. In fact, the act itself will first and foremost heal you.

Question: To treat others this way, must one first show compassion toward oneself?

Answer: Without self-compassion, you will not be motivated to act kindly toward others. You need a foundation, a reason to suddenly develop a positive attitude toward others. For this, you must convince yourself that it is necessary for your own well-being, a form of self-preservation.

Comment: When we are stressed, our bodies activate processes and muscles for a “fight or flight” response. However, when we show compassion, the body relaxes and operates in an entirely opposite system. It calms down.

Scientists add that besides compassion, empathy is also essential; meaning, engaging with others and understanding their situations helps offset stress.

My Response: But this is not simple. The issue is that we do not teach people how to give correctly, which creates a significant problem. We are forced to give at any work: whether I am working on some piece of hardware on a machine, tending cows, or making money, it does not matter where or how. Even if I work with people.

We are not taught how to give. We are taught to quickly complete tasks and take what we need, but this is incorrect.

Such an approach creates a disconnection between the work itself and my desire to derive something from it. The work becomes a source of depletion rather than fulfillment.

If I approach my work in a way that allows me to feel fulfilled while giving, I will feel great at the beginning, middle, and end of the day. But teaching people this mindset is not easy. It requires the correction of one’s nature.

Regardless of my job or role, I should be able to work joyfully and feel that by giving, I am filling myself up. This is the art or the science of fulfillment, of reception—the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Question: What does it mean to “give”?

Answer: If I were working for the benefit of my children, would I feel depleted by giving to them? No, not at all, because I already work for their sake and do everything for them.

The issue lies in learning to feel others, strangers, as close ones. This requires education. People must be taught to understand the system we live in, that we are all interconnected in an integral network. In this system, anyone who fills others is, in turn, filled through them.

We need to uncover this system and begin to feel it. Then there will be no difference between giving and receiving or between strangers and loved ones. We will realize that we all exist within a unified system.

Question: You once explained the difference between animalistic and spiritual energy exchange. In the corporeal realm, one gives and the other receives, leaving one depleted and the other filled. In spiritual energy exchange, however, the energy flows through everyone, filling all without stopping at anyone.

How can we achieve this? What steps are involved in learning and applying this method?

Answer: I would advise people to attend our classes and learn how to work in a true collective where giving to others simultaneously fills oneself, and this applies to everyone. Ultimately, this leads to a state where the more people in the group, the greater the fulfillment each person experiences.

Such a person feels that when he comes to work tired after sleeping, and so on, he gets a lot of energy at work and leaves with bright eyes and cheerful after eight or ten hours of work. He goes home full of energy. In the evening, he thinks about how he will return to work. And all his relatives and family are delighted to meet and greet him like this.

Comment: Thanks to digital medicine, we will become healthier and live longer. Artificial intelligence will take over burdensome household chores and work functions, and if we want, will be able to travel through virtual worlds, and so on.

We are developing artificial intelligence, robots that take on a human appearance, adaptive control systems, etc.

On the other hand, humans are adapting themselves to artificial intelligence—implanted chips, programs, and artificial body parts. Along with the development of machine technologies, humans are also being turned into a machine. Will there be any difference between them?

Answer: And how does a robot differ from an ordinary person in our world who also behaves according to certain canons acquired from nature or from the society in which he grew up and developed? How does one differ from the other? I see no difference. You can make a mechanical toy that will be completely human-like. Only if you cut it open will you see wires there.

We can program absolutely everything. I can create a suitable spouse for myself, one who will fully meet all the parameters of a person and of a woman. Only she will not have a soul.

Question: Will a person still have the desire to develop what is called the soul?

Answer: I think that after the period of revealing the robot in himself, when a person realizes that he is no different from a robot, he will start to wonder what makes him different.

And then he will begin to uncover the existence of a special substance in himself called “soul.” It has to be revealed. It is in its embryonic state, but it is in every person. And he will work on it. And everything else will be provided. For some, pizza and Coca-Cola will be delivered at home by drones. And someone else will connect to a power outlet to fill up instead of pizza and cola.

But living people will differ from artificial ones in that they will need to correct their soul. And this will become their inner need that calls out from the depths of their being and demands realization.

Question: That is, after playing with toys enough, will they come to the genuine question?

Answer: These are not toys. They must put their external animal life in order. We develop through the levels of inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature and humans. Only then will it be the turn of the development of the human. In the meantime, we are not yet at this level, because we can nurture the human in ourselves only when we begin to develop the soul.

Comment: In 5 to 10 years, CEOs will have to focus on issues of happiness. The positions they will be hired for will have various names, such as “Dream Manager” or, conversely, “Destruction Manager.”

But the essence remains the same: a person who must constantly drive the company toward change, and in doing so, dismantle the established order.

My Response: We need to work proactively.

The thing is, a person must feel happy, or their work will yield little benefit. That is why we need to ensure that they feel happiness, fulfillment, and connection with others, because happiness depends entirely on the atmosphere they exist in.

They must feel they are in an environment of kindness and mutual support where they can completely rely on their company and team.

This is perhaps the most important thing. To achieve this, we must work with the team. We need to create a communal, positive dependency within the workplace where people feel support and inspiration from their colleagues, where they feel proud and understand the happiness they gain from being part of this team, where their spouses, children, or other family members also understand and approve of this. It means a great deal.

I believe that if we fail to create such an environment in the future, employees will not stay. Their productivity will drop, and they will become indifferent to the company’s fate. Ultimately, you will not be able to “buy” them, not even with money.

What matters is not just money, but the atmosphere of joy, happiness, flexibility, and mutual help they feel. This requires education, a completely different approach, and a new organization of production and hierarchy, nothing like what existed in the past.

A person is an individual being, and they must feel both unique and entirely supported by the collective when needed.

In relationships among people, everyone must be equal. These are relationships between individuals, not between citizens or employees.

But the most important thing is for people to have a shared, grand goal—why they are doing this and what they are achieving through it.

We need to gradually help a person feel that this methodology brings them to an absolute state—absolute happiness and a sense of something vast, eternal, and perfect. This allows them to see a completely different world and to shape themselves, their children, and their families in an entirely new way.

This must be done gradually. And then they will realize that it is not just the company playing nice to extract more productivity from them, but an effort to transform them into a master of life, to help them feel the integrity of existence.

Question: What should a CEO, who is a professional dreamer, be it a “Dream Manager” or a “Destruction Manager,” aspire to in their dreams? What should they want to destroy and what to build?

Answer: One cannot exist without the other. They must first present a dream, a direction, and explain what they aim to achieve so that everyone begins to connect with this dream and embrace it as a truly desirable state. Then after having deeply understood its necessity, they would be ready to destroy the present for the sake of a bright future.

Comment: Currently, society faces a growing trust crisis in the media, the government, and among individuals. We see a lack of understanding of what trust is and how to nurture it.

My Response: This happens because our egoism has grown and demands entirely new relationships: clearer, more connected, rougher, and tied to each other. Each of us has significant egoism, and everyone desires greater independence from others. That is the first reason.

Secondly, this coincides with societal, technological, and lifestyle development. Today I can live independently and provide for myself without worrying about others. But to bind oneself through family ties, friendships, workplace relationships, or otherwise, requires effort, sometimes considerable effort.
Thus, in today’s world it is challenging to compel people to connect with others. They only do so for tangible rewards or when absolutely necessary.

Question: What is trust?

Answer: Trust is when I rely on another person according to an agreement that we have mutually established.

Question: What underlies trust?

Answer: Trust is based on the hope for another’s perspective, assistance, or support.

Question: Can you depict an ideal state where trust exists?

Answer: This is only possible when people realize that they are part of an interconnected system and fully interdependent. They need to uncover this complete interconnection. Only then can we discuss a society where individuals feel unity, exchange efforts, and work and care for one another.

Right now, this does not exist. Even our systems—healthcare, finance, everything we have built—serve to divide society.

Comment: Decades ago for example, in the Soviet Union, there was a certain level of trust—people could leave a key under the doormat, and not lock the door when they were at home.

My Response: It is not about whether the door to an apartment is open or closed. The point is that people are closed off from one another by their internal door: “I do not want to hear what is happening to another person. It does not matter to me at all.”

But we acknowledge that without a universal, correct approach to our nature—aimed at its correction—we will not progress. Superficial fixes will not help.

Question: How do we achieve this?

Answer: We must recognize that egoism is at the core of our nature and learn to work with it so it becomes a helper rather than a hindrance. This is a long-term upbringing of society.

Question: Is it possible to restore trust between one person and another, independently of the macro-world?

Answer: No, that is impossible. Everything is one system. We have reached a stage where the world is integral, and in an integral system the particular and the general are equal. Therefore we will not be able to fix relationships even between two people, even between a guy and a girl who want to build their relationship on some level of trust. No, they are part of society and will relate to each other in the same way as it happens in society.

That is why everything is falling apart on all levels simultaneously.

Question: What will be the turning point? What will trigger some other process?

Answer: The turning point will come with the recognition of evil. To achieve this, widespread dissemination and explanations are needed to make people aware that we are leading ourselves to the brink.

Question: What is the formula for trust?

Answer: Trust is the realization and sensation of inner connection among us. Its manifestation at every moment and in every state is what defines trust. Otherwise, it does not exist.

Trust is a profound force, the foundation of any state or society. It bonds all members into a single system where they need nothing more than the sense of being part of one network, entirely dependent on one another. That is where the concept of “trust” originates.

Question: What about confidence?

Answer: Confidence stems from a sense of connectedness among us.

Question: Is it akin to faith in another person?

Answer: Faith is a property of bestowal, which also arises from my sense that we are interconnected.

Trust is when I use the system of connection between us, which exists and reveals itself to me. To the extent that it is revealed, I am in mutual connection with others. This is trust. It is not something that does not exist, which I supposedly create. This is completely incorrect. I make use of purely psychological and physical elements for this.

Comment: Suppose one person says to another, “I do not feel like you are doing anything, so I cannot trust you.”

My Response: Right. He does not feel it, but someone else does. We need to make it so that everyone feels that we are in one connection, one dependency, one network, and then, inevitably, we will treat each other differently.

I do not need to know what each of them feels! I only need to know that in this way, I depend on them, and they depend on me, and everything I do toward them comes back to me. This needs to be taught, shown, and explained, to open people’s eyes.

If we want to do something serious, this requires serious desires, serious foundations. People must understand that if they begin to delve into the meaning of life, into the origins of life, into the reasons for life, why a person exists, how he was created, and what drives him, then this is serious work on oneself.

Comment: The world is gripped by an epidemic of fear. People are losing trust, and they no longer listen to each other. As a result, they are driven not by greed, as before when we wanted to achieve something, but by fear, which has real causes. How can we get rid of it? After all, we are actively moving toward a dead end.

My Response: I think this is very good. This is not a dead end. When you approach a dead end, you suddenly see that there is a door in it, and it leads to the next world.

Once this was covered by faith. A person believed in various gods, it doesn’t matter what, and it was easier for him. Today, this faith is disappearing, it is not kept up, and therefore, a person cannot compensate for his fears, anxiety, and various problematic feelings. He cannot correlate them with the desire and the government of the upper one, with the upper force, and everything falls on him. It is hard for him!

Fear blocks a person. He wants to close his eyes and crawl under a blanket like a little child, as if nothing is happening.

Question: How can he get out of there?

Answer: He needs to be educated. But not through mechanical toys, as scientists are trying to do.

Comment: Scientists are still asking questions.

My Response: Asking questions is good. But this is connected with the meaning of life. Such questions are already beyond our understanding. How do we exist? For what purpose? What is life? How does it begin, and how does it end? What is the meaning of the existence of nature itself?

But to simply relate everything to God does not calm a modern person. This was good enough before the age of Enlightenment, but from the 17^th to 18^th centuries and onward, this approach no longer works.

A person will still be forced to see that he faces the question of the meaning of existence: what is it for, why, what is its meaning?

Fear exists at the basis of our life because if it were not for fear, why live at all. Why do I need all this?
Scroll through a person’s entire future life—it already exists, there is nothing else—and he would not want to live.

If he sees what he is going through, and all this in order to enjoy something and immediately fall into depression or suffering, and also work hard. He has two weeks of vacation a year, if he spends it well at all, children who take advantage of him, a wife who does not let him have fun, a favorite football team that loses, fishing which no longer exists because these places do not exist anymore, and so on…

Even in ancient sources it is written that if a man could see his life in advance, then he would naturally not want to be born and live.

We forget ourselves, therefore, our whole life is built on this oblivion. Look what we are doing with our lives today! We are trying to dumb ourselves, all the time more and more, more and more. Advertising, competition … For what?

After all, if you leave a person alone with his thoughts, he will either become a terrorist, a murderer, or kill himself, or start using drugs, which is the same thing.

Question: But they say that a person must have a goal and by striving for it, he can overcome any difficulties. What is the right goal for a person?

Answer: This question should not be aroused in people. You must first prepare yourself well for this. It is written that if you put an obstacle in front of a blind person, by doing so you commit a terrible crime. If you put a stone or a tree in front a blind person, he will stumble and fall. How is this possible? And people are all blind. How can you talk to them about the meaning of life?

They do not have an answer to this, and they will only become depressed. Therefore, gradually revealing the question about the meaning of life, you must know in advance how to simultaneously provide them with the correct answer which will be acceptable and desirable for them. Then they will see joyful horizons expanding for them, and not dark ones.

Comment: It turns out that from birth, education should be gradually integrated into communication.

My Response: This is what education is about. And everything else fills a person with completely unnecessary information.

Question: How can an adult person who has lived his life get to the question of the meaning of life?

Answer: If he has lived his life, there is no point in it. If, during this life, he receives information about its meaning, and begins to change his life in accordance with the meaning he has acquired, then he rises to the next level of existence. He becomes a human to the extent that he can answer the question about the meaning of his life.

Question: It is said that whoever controls information controls everything. But in recent years, with the advent of new technologies, information has not only become abundant; it has become excessively abundant! Managing it has become incredibly difficult. Psychologists argue that people are now experiencing information stress.

What is information? Why do we crave it so much? And why, even understanding that it’s “garbage,” are we afraid to lose it?

Answer: We feed on this “garbage,” these “wastes.” For us, losing this “waste” means losing our nourishment. And humanity is terrified of that.

It cannot absorb proper, truthful, natural information, information that speaks of relevance, necessity, or truth. It thrives on yellow, gray news, on airing “dirty laundry.” This is what sustains it.

This is how modern society has raised humanity up. And we can see the consequences. Of course, if you remove all this fake content and leave only the truth, people would howl. What would they consume then?

Question: Why is humanity so drawn to information? What is it looking for in information?

Answer: Modern humans cannot live without it. It is the environment in which they exist. Taking it away would be like separating them from home, family, work, or anything else. But separating them from information would be even more devastating because it fills them from within.

Without a flow of information, a modern person would simply lose their mind.

Question: What is “correct” information?

Answer: Correct information is that which reveals my role in this world to the extent that I can bring positive influence to it and, in turn, receive positive influence from the world.

Question: You say that correct, truthful, and genuine information would be completely unpalatable, undesirable?

Answer: People don’t want to hear the truth! Truth is painful. Truth is unpleasant. They want to hear what pleases them: a bit of gossip, a bit of sex, a bit of fear, a bit of joy, all in measured doses, carefully controlled by specialists.

Question: What does information mean to a Kabbalist?

Answer: For a Kabbalist, information means something entirely different. They are not interested in what people argue about via cables or other communication methods. They are interested in a connection with the upper force, from which all actions, conditions, and events in our world originate. When a person has this connection, they need nothing else. It allows them to be everywhere and in everything simultaneously, in both worlds.

Question: Suppose you were given control of all media outlets. How would you present information,  what kind?

Answer: I would leave everything as it is now and gradually, in small, controlled doses, introduce “medicine”—more correct information. Information that supports positive changes in a person, develops a sense of truth, self-control, and so on. This way, people would begin to adapt correctly to their surroundings, understand their nature, the nature of the world around them, and their ultimate purpose.

We, Kabbalists, are waiting for humanity to reach the revelation of evil—the revelation that it exists in evil, in lies, that it feeds on substitutes. To the extent that we realize this is all trash, literal poison, we will gradually be able to replace fake information with correct information that nurtures us.

Why do I need information? To form my understanding of the world and transform myself in alignment with a new world. This information should be correct, truthful, and, most importantly, caring.

Comment: The aggression of schoolchildren and their parents exceeds all norms, expectations, and any rules of decency. Teachers complain that children have become completely uncontrollable, and their parents side with them. If teachers were respected in the past, now school journals are being burned, weapons are being brought to school, not to mention drugs. Teachers in Germany claim that such behavior has become possible due to the influx of immigrants.

My Response: I would not conflate one problem with another.

The modern school no longer suits children, contemporary families, parents, how parents are busy at work, how children spend their free time, or how life is structured. Modern schooling has long outlived its usefulness. It effectively ended in the middle of the last century along with the end of the industrialization era.

None of this is relevant today. Now everything can be done much more simply—with computers and in small groups of people while the rest are left out of the equation. Therefore, we should not be educating people for unnecessary professions only to later perpetuate unemployment. They graduate into the world with their diplomas, but what is next?

The school is an absolutely outdated experiment that was conducted 150 years ago and by now has long since “died.”

Question: Does the degradation of schools threaten us with a barbaric society in the future?

Answer: If schools degrade, they will indeed lead to a barbaric society. Therefore, schools need to be quickly replaced.

We need to seriously consider what is good for our children and focus on that. Society today is capable of doing this; we have plenty of resources, many people, and many idle hands and minds. We can do this if we only want to because we have nothing to do, we invent different professions for ourselves, we serve each other.

We need to pay attention to children. But not by forcing, pressuring, or over-structuring them, but by studying what is genuinely beneficial for them and within this context providing them with the right content. What kind of content? Perhaps they will choose it themselves from the Internet.

We must study human nature, the nature of the surrounding world, and how people achieve harmony. The most important human “profession” is understanding how to interact correctly with oneself, with society, and with the world around them.

Reaching such a level of integration where all these elements are balanced is the ultimate goal of education.

Do not meet people with open arms. Why make it easier for them to crucify you? (Stanislaw Jerzy Lec)

My Response: Beautiful!

Question: It is beautiful, yes. He has been through a lot, and he probably opened his arms and got rewarded for it. How open do you think it is possible to be with other people?

Answer: The way knights rode the roads—with a shield on one side and a spear or sword in the other hand.

Comment: And all in armor.

My Response: And in armor, of course. This is how a person should be until we achieve correction.

Comment: So to put it bluntly, you are saying: I should not open up.

My Response: Not at all. I should not open up at all.

Comment: I expected you to say: completely or somehow.

My Response: No! Why? I cannot advise this to anyone.

Question: Is it possible to live like that, without opening up at all?

Answer: That is how you must live. All this is a consequence of evil.

Question: That is, there is this evil in us?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And what is sincerity? They say “sincerity, openness.”

Answer: Where did you find such simpletons?

Question: Then tell me, in what case can humanity come to a state where a person will be open to a person?

Answer: If everyone is corrected and wishes each other well.

Question: So, our job should be to come to the point where we wish others well, and then we can slowly begin to open up?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So a person should feel bad because they cannot open up?

Answer: Yes.

Question: To the point of prayer, of howling, to what? To what state?

Answer: To despair that I cannot open up. I want to open up to others and see that everyone is open to me, but that does not happen.

Question: Do I want this to happen?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Will it ever happen?

Answer: In general it should be, according to the plan of creation.

Comment: But that is what you are trying to do all the time. You talk about it all the time.

My Response: Yes, but I am alone. Or how many are there?

Comment: There are not many, frankly.

My Response: We will wait. The world will come to this anyway, but the question is when.

Question: But is this the ultimate plan for us to come to this?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this what is called that we will unite with the Creator, unite with the supreme mind?

Answer: Of course. So a little more optimism, and everything will be fine.
