The Consequences of War: Less Hunting, More Wolves

767.4Question: In one country, researchers have observed that due to military actions, hunting and shooting of predators and other animals have decreased, leading to an active growth of nature. Predatory animals have started to turn rabid and attack humans, making people afraid to go outside or let their children out.

This creates a paradox: on one hand people are at war with each other, and on the other hand they neglect their relationship with nature, which begins to turn against them. What is the connection between people themselves, between humans and nature, and nature in relation to humans?

Answer: Human relationships define all other levels of existence: inanimate nature, plants, animals, and societal structures. And the most important is the relationship in highly developed countries because they determine all other relationships in other secondary, third countries, and so on.

If we first establish harmony in our relationships with one another, we will naturally bring balance to all other systems of nature.

However, if we fail to harmonize our relationships, the rest of nature will continue to spiral out of control, away from balance. This will lead to mutations and problems we cannot yet foresee. If we become slightly more beastly in our behavior, animals will become exponentially wilder, so wild that we cannot even imagine.

We could reach a point where we suddenly find dinosaurs appearing somewhere on Earth. Why? Because we regress to a level of interpersonal relationships that existed when such creatures roamed. This does not require any special geological period to occur.

Question: Will savagery truly increase to such an extent?

Answer: The savagery could become so extreme that humanity might resurrect the most fearsome layers of nature. Nature would come to hate us because we hate one another.

Kabbalah teaches that only through improving our relationships with other people can we fix, balance, and bring all of this into a better state.

Comment: You just gave an example that feels as if we could travel back in time.

My Response: Of course!

Question: How can we travel into the future?

Answer: To do that, we must develop correctly. Nature will not allow us into the future as we are today.

We can regress into the past through our primitive degradation, but to reach the future, we must progress by properly developing ourselves in our connections with each other. This is what the fully interconnected, integral, harmonious nature demands of us.

We must become elements aligned with it, and only then will we be able to travel into the future. We could simply sit in a little “cart” and move forward.

Question: How do we find this “cart”? How do we activate the program that will help a person discover and desire it?

Answer: This program is within us. But to activate it, we must first work for a long time to convince the Jewish nation to want it because the rest of the world depends on them. Then we must explain this to all the nations of the world so that they will compel the Jewish people to act.

Fathers for Rent

292Comment: In Japan, there was a case where a little girl was growing up in a single-parent family. After she started school, she became withdrawn. It turned out that she was being bullied because her classmates teased her for not having a father.

The mother was deeply concerned. The teachers did not help, so she turned to an agency that provides “rent-a-hero” services. She chose one candidate—a kind, positive, and caring man. As an actor, he fully embraced the role of a father and played it for the girl for ten years.

On weekends, they went to the movies, parks, and walks, talked together, and even attended parent-teacher meetings. Over time, it was clear that the girl, once shy and withdrawn, blossomed and became more confident.

Thus, a new trend emerged: “fathers for rent”—fake fathers who, by taking on the role, provide both children and adults with a sense of security and supportive surroundings.

My Response: We understand how important this is for a child. At the same time, it can also be deeply significant for the woman—the mother of that child.

Interestingly, these relationships can sometimes be deeper and closer than natural family bonds. When something is “yours,” it can often lead to complacency and neglect. Who really pays attention to one another? You come home, kick off your shoes, sit down at the table or in your favorite chair, and life goes on.

But here, the emotional distance fosters a special closeness, one that is not just monitored, but actively nurtured and strengthened. This dynamic can be far more meaningful than relationships in a typical marriage.

As a result, a very interesting relationship can develop between them, not even intimate, but purely internal support, precisely due to the fact that they are not husband and wife, but simply “collaborators” to create a special family relationship.

Comment: The fake father told the girl he loved her, although inside he understood it was a conflict, that it really wasn’t the case. But what he told her emotionally, by getting involved at this state, helped not only their relationship,  but also the child’s development.

My Response: Do we have the right to treat a child this way? To lie to them?

Comment: Yes, because the consequences can vary. He said, “Ten years have passed, and I understand what might happen if the truth comes out. Eighty percent of me believes the girl will be grateful for all the care and attention I gave her. Twenty percent of me fears she will feel devastated, lost, and broken.”

My Response: He must stay with her until she gets married and he is “replaced” by her husband. He has to support her until she has another man in her life because, at the moment, he is filling the roles of father, man, and husband—everything. He cannot just leave her.

Comment: There is another trend where elderly men are hired as mentors. They are invited to accompany young people because they can pass on experience and wisdom.

My Response: I support this. It is something our society needs because no one in childhood receives proper guidance from their parents. This is a methodology, a philosophy of acceptance of life and the proper adaptation to it. Modern children do not have this. They have no source for it, not from TV, not from computers, not from school, nor from anywhere.

Question: What institutions should surround a person to help them grow into a well-rounded individual?

Answer: They need a clear and consistent educational program conducted by capable teachers, mentors, and educators.

When family, society, the peer group, and the media all work in harmony, only then can a person be raised properly.

Question: What values should they instill?

Answer: The right behavior within the “human pack.” Ideally, this should be taught at the instinctive level.

Question: What rules should exist in a “human pack”?

Answer: Homo homini lupus est, “man is a wolf to man,” only the other way around.

Teach people to live as a pack where everyone supports each other and understands the importance of each individual. Each person carries a social or family responsibility that makes everyone significant. Wolves, for instance, live exceptionally well within their packs.

Question: Could we conclude by saying, “Be a wolf to be human”?

Answer: Yes, being a wolf is great; you will know how to behave in a pack. It is a wonderful dynamic where there is a clear hierarchy, parents at the top, children below, grandchildren further down, and so on. But everyone takes care of one another, from the bottom up.

How to Control Our Life

600.01Comment: Well-known coach and business consultant Erik Bertrand Larssen developed a methodology based on his military experience and wrote about it in his book called Hell Week: Seven Days to Be Your Best Self.

Larssen believes there are three models of highly effective cultures: the military, business, and sports. The military teaches us to push beyond our limits to discover we are capable of more. Athletes demonstrate how to set and pursue goals systematically. Sports also teaches us that victory is not achieved under the spotlight on the final stretch but through daily, painstaking training.

However, in your view, the mind merely serves the desires.

My Response: We should not go against desires. A person cannot truly change them. What I can do is split my desire into smaller parts: one becomes two, two become four, and so on. There will be a chain reaction. The only real option is to prioritize one desire over another, higher one. And that depends on the society around me.

Therefore, if I am in a group that values higher desires over my personal ones, I can easily let go of my bad desires and adopt their good ones.

Military, sports, and business, all involve self-coercion. But I do not want to coerce myself. I am weak. Why should I subject myself to such extreme states? The body does not like that.

Question: There are different approaches. What is the key to the Kabbalistic method in order to say: “Guys, you are looking in the wrong place”?

Answer: The key or secret lies entirely in the environment around you. Nothing else! If I join the right environment, and this environment knows how to motivate and influence me, tempting me with hints and exercises like with a child, it can shape me however it wants.

Kabbalah, first of all, calls for building a correct society where everyone can progress further.

Question: Can you name a few principles that such a society follows that others could take as a model?

Answer: A Kabbalistic society is very simple. It is built on the principle of gradually bringing people closer together by rising above their small, narrow, personal egos.

Members engage in specific exercises called workshops where they discuss these ideas and attempt to connect and open up to each other. This path involves rising above the natural egoism of a person despite his inherent tendencies.

A person begins to feel like they are entering a kind of elevator, lifting him beyond our nature. It is as if they detach from the Earth and enter a “cosmic elevator” that rises higher and higher, beyond our universe into an entirely different, anti-egoistic universe. In this realm, everything is based on the qualities of bestowal and love, as opposed to the qualities of reception and hatred inherent to our nature.

This gradual transformation occurs under the constant and increasingly changing influence of society.

This model is lifelong and spans all lifetimes because it elevates a person beyond life and death.

A person begins to perceive, see, and feel this! He rises above our egoistic nature and therefore transcends the level of biological life and death. He no longer identifies with his physical body, but starts perceiving himself as an energetic entity called the soul.

I am speaking about a methodology that allows a person to rise above himself and transform into something eternally existing and non-egoistic. It enables him to become acquainted with the Creator, reveal the upper world, and break free from the confines of the small, narrow space in which we exist.

If someone has not just idle curiosity, but a deep, inner yearning, it is possible to work with him.

Seven Principles of Successful Life

627.2Question: What is money? What is striving toward a goal? How can one change habits? What does Kabbalah say about this?

Answer: It is very simple. Money (Kesef) is a covering. “Kesef” comes from the word “Kisuf,” which means covering, that is, a covering over my desires.

Money is not just paper or something stored in a bank. If I can cover my desires and aspirations for what I want with a screen, it is considered that I pay for my desires. Through this covering, I can rise above them from the desire to receive to the desire to bestow, and thereby achieve any fulfillment according to the strength of my desire.

Question: With money, I can satisfy my desires. But what does it mean to cover desires with a screen?

Answer: To cover means that a desire is truly fulfilled only by its covering, which is the transformation of the intention behind the desire from oneself to others.

If we want to earn correctly, to truly earn life, then we need to understand what money is, what covering means, and what the transformation of intention is. It is about a screen that covers egoistic desires and transforms them into altruistic ones, and in this altruistic light, we begin to receive upper fulfillments. This is true wealth.

Question: Do a person’s thoughts shape their life?

Answer: In general, yes.

Question: What are thoughts, and how can one change the course of thoughts to shape and improve life?

Answer: A person’s thoughts shape their life, meaning their attitude toward who they are, what they are, what surrounds them, and their purpose. All of these are called their thoughts.

One must answer questions such as: “Why do I exist? What is happening to me? How will my life end?” Initially, these questions may arise purely in an egoistic form, but one must start answering them. They must understand that if they focus only on satisfying their egoism, they will end up in portions and eventually finish the same way. And then what? Until they die. Because our physiological, animalistic body defines our life.

If I want to rise to the next level, to exist not in the animalistic body, but in the spiritual one, I need to rise and begin to exist according to entirely different values, not to fill my physical body and see that as the purpose of life, but to fill myself with qualities of bestowal and love, qualities that resemble the Creator. This is a completely different value system.

Here, a person faces a significant challenge. It feels as if they are in a vast field meant for them to explore asking why, for what purpose, and how to break away from past values, from wealth, money, notions of happiness, and egoistic success. They must begin to reposition themselves entirely differently regarding their existence.

Question: “We are slaves to our habits. Change your habits, and your life will change.” But what should we change them to?

Answer: They need to be replaced with some kind of spiritual actions and relationships. First, I must study them, understand where they come from, how they form, and how I can make these changes.

Question: What are truly good habits for a person?

Answer: There are no good habits. A habit, by its nature, cannot be good. Habits are always bad.

What can be good is when we rise from one positive action to an even greater positive action. But that is not a habit; it goes against our habits. This requires great effort and work on oneself.

Question: But for this, we need to have a distant goal to consistently overcome our habits, right?

Answer: Yes. In addition to having a distant goal, you also need a small group in which you can implement this.

Comment: “The main obstacles in life are self-doubt and fear. Our doubts paralyze us.”

My Response: Our doubts and fears drive us forward, and these are very good qualities of our nature.

Without doubts and fears, we would not move anywhere. We would dig into our current situation trying to minimize the feeling of evil and barely experience any good just to avoid triggering doubts and fears.
Let doubts and fears arise! Let them push and pressure us forward!

If I am in the right environment, all my doubts and fears will be directed correctly in my interactions with that environment, and together we will move forward. Nothing in nature is created in vain! Under no circumstances should we diminish, suppress, or erase anything!

Comment: “Goals should be clear, simple, and written down.”

My Response: A person who is truly developing has no clarity. They are constantly in turmoil and engaged in clarifications. As soon as they resolve something, new turmoil immediately arises.

A true human being is constantly in a state of turmoil and clarification, turmoil and clarification. Greater and greater desires, doubts, and thoughts arise in them. They continually ask themselves: “How can I truly find the purpose of life? What is worth living for?”

Comment: In one of your talks, you drew a coordinate system where a person moves along a sinusoid line, progressing toward the goal through increasing ruptures. I shared this example with a friend, and she said: “So do we have to hit rock bottom to rise again?”

My Response: Yes, of course! Even the greatest Kabbalists, before reaching complete correction, find themselves at the lowest point! Absolutely!

Question: What lifts a person from this rock bottom?

Answer: The environment and the upper light that one receives through it.

Comment: And here is one of the latest quotes: “Find the courage to go against the flow and get rich.”

My Response: This means going against egoism. It is possible. But keep in mind that you are weak, that you cannot do it alone! There is no need to fight stubbornly and go against everything if you are on your own.

You must build a system that will help you reach the goal. It should be a system within a group of like-minded people who have a clear goal. Only together, by constantly strengthening their connection, can they achieve the goal.

Comment: To conclude: “Poor, unlucky, unhappy, and unhealthy is the person who often uses the word ‘tomorrow’.”

My Response: Yes, of course. We have no right to postpone anything until tomorrow.

But that is not the only issue. Weakness is not just about procrastination. Weakness is in closing your eyes and refusing to connect with others.

To delay until tomorrow or not? The problem lies in this: all human actions depend on their interaction with others. If a person is in the right environment, they will not postpone anything until tomorrow. They will not even delay today, they will act immediately. The environment will compel them to move.

The most important thing is to establish the right connection with the right environment. There must be a group. Only then will they progress. The group determines everything. Find the right group, and you will find happiness.

What Would You Change in Your Life?

202.0Comment: Scientists have often asked people who know they are about to die: “What would you change in your life?” Reflecting on their lives, people are ready to change everything: relationships, actions, even thoughts.

Is it worth reaching the end to confess one’s own mistakes to oneself?

Answer: On one hand even in the last minutes, reevaluation and reflection on the path taken makes sense. But on the other hand, what prevents us from periodically conducting such self-assessments?

Such exercises would help us and change us for the better. After all, a person would have time to “work on the mistakes.”

We need to draw conclusions in advance, at the beginning of life and not at the end when we can only regret. This is what the science of Kabbalah invites us to do.

How Kant Differs from a Fly

198I was no more than 26 years old at the time, but I knew very well that life had no purpose or meaning, that everything was a deception and illusion. The essence and outcome of a hard-labor life on Sakhalin Island is no different from a life in Nice. And the difference between Kant’s brain and a fly’s brain is insignificant. No one in this world is right or wrong, and everything is rubbish and nonsense, and so to hell with it! (Anton Chekhov, Lights)

Question: The 26-year-old Chekhov reached this conclusion after contemplating life. All his stories and writings would be written later. What do you think can make a young man conclude life is pointless and has no meaning?

Answer: This is what he saw around him, in himself, and in books probably. This was his resume at that moment.

Question: When pressed on all sides, a young person may come to have such an idea. Please tell me what the right way to respond to such a thought is.

Answer: The right way is to close your eyes and keep going with what is required of you.

Question: That is, not to send it to hell, but to keep going?

Answer: Well, this concerns everything in life.

Question: How do you determine what is required? How does he determine what is required of him? What does it mean?

Answer: There is an upper master who requires you to do a particular job. And since He belongs to a higher nature, He is undoubtedly smarter than you.

Question: So you should follow Him?

Answer: You have no choice but to submit.

Question: Chekhov compares life in Sakhalin with life in Nice. This is a new take. How can a person compare hard labor and stale bread in Sakhalin with life in Nice with calm, aromatic coffee in the morning, a croissant, and so on? How does one conclude that Sakhalin is the same as Nice?

Answer: Because, in general, there is no significant difference except for bodily comfort. And, in general, it is the same thing.

Comment: But we still live in this material world.

My Response: We take into account all our corporeal benefits. But if you do not account for it, but judge expressly by life itself, what difference does it make?

Question: Do you also think a hard, backbreaking life somewhere in Sakhalin is the same as in Nice?

Answer: Backbreaking, I do not think so.

Comment: Well, not necessarily backbreaking, but just living somewhere out there in the village versus in Nice is the same thing?

My Response: Yes.

Question: What parameters do you take into account when you say this?

Answer: I think that as long as I am alive, it makes no difference where I live. What do I really need in order to live? I can settle on any island.

Comment: A computer and a room.

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this what it means that a person does not need much?

Answer: Actually yes.

Question: How can we say there is no significant difference between the brain of Kant and the brain of a fly?

Answer: Both are objects; they act purely on their egoistic motivation. Although Kant seems to be checking himself, studying himself, overall both he and the fly act the same way in choosing the greatest pleasure.

Question: How are we different then?

Answer: We are not.

Question: So why are we given reason?

Answer: To understand how to live, with or without reason.

Question: What does it mean to live with reason?

Answer: Living with reason is very difficult. I must study my actions, the forces that cause them, and think about them from the side: what I am right and wrong about.

Question: Is this the constant life of a person with reason? Is it so? Is this why it is difficult?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Where are we being led like this? What you just said was that we are being led, given pleasure.

Answer: We are being led to realize the meaning of life, which is in reaching the level of the Creator.

Question: Is this our whole journey?

Answer: Yes.

Question: In this case, the fly is not being led like that, right?

Answer: There is nowhere to lead the fly. It has no freewill, none of that.

Question: What does a fly live for?

Answer: The fly exists, like everything around us, except us humans, so that we can see how the world works and could be different from all creatures.

Question: What do you think about Chekhov’s conclusion that “no one in this world is right or at fault?”

Answer: He proceeds from the fact that everyone is born and exists within the laws of nature, in the nature that they have, that is given to them from above. Therefore a person is not responsible for himself and cannot strive for anything on his own.

Question: Meaning all his actions are involuntary?

Answer: Involuntary, yes.

Question: Is he neither right nor wrong?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Can one have such an attitude to life? Is this not a passive option?

Answer: It is passive.

Question: What is the correct attitude?

Answer: The correct attitude is to see that life is fiercely purposeful. It has meaning, and we must reveal this meaning and reveal it in such a way that it absolutely aligns with the law of nature. And the law of nature is “love your neighbor as yourself.” The law of human community.

Question: Is this what we always have to strive for?

Answer: Yes.

Is Our Path Programmed?

760.1Question: If you could step into the Creator’s place, how would you answer these children’s questions? Oleg, a 4th grader, asks: “Why did You make humans the main beings on Earth?”

Answer: That is a complicated issue. I made humans intelligent and gave them the ability to correct themselves. If they refuse to do so and remain foolish, I can only agree, stay silent, and wait.

Comment: Humans have been given intelligence, placed on this Earth. The Earth is really beautiful, nature and everything are beautiful. Yet, we ruin it.

My Response: Yes.

Question: Are we a mistake or not?

Answer: Of nature?

Comment: Let’s say, of the Creator.

Answer: Of the Creator, I think we are not a mistake. But we will only realize it when we begin to correct ourselves. For now, we don’t want to.

Question: Is our path programmed and someday a turning point toward correction will inevitably happen?

Answer: Yes, I am certain it must happen, and fairly soon.

Question: Will it be a shock, a sudden thought, or the discovery of a new kind of mind?

Answer: It will emerge from within us. We will begin to feel what the other world, the new world, the higher world, should be.

Question: And we will want to reach it?

Answer: Yes, absolutely!

Intellectual Games

963.6Intellectual role-playing games have become an alternative to traditional festive gatherings. Clerks, managers, doctors, and teachers enthusiastically prevent explosions at nuclear power plants, catch maniacs, and chase after secret submarine blueprints. In short, they fully immerse themselves in quests.

As children, we read books and watched movies about heroes, and dreamed of becoming like them. But later we realized that life leaves little room for cinematic heroism or even simple adventure. So why not play out the impossible?

But there is another side to this: a true hero should be an example to follow, should they not? And not just an example of parachuting from planes with umbrellas or performing stunts. No, a hero should be relatable to us. Moreover, beyond fighting enemies, societal problems, or disasters, they should overcome something within themselves—for the sake of helping others.

Such a hero inspires admiration, the kind that comes with goodwill, because they bring good into the world. More than that, they represent what we wish every person could be.

We all need a meaningful image of a hero who knows how to give themselves to others despite the challenges. And let everyone imagine themselves in their place; let everyone aspire to be like them. Then, when I step out of the theater or leave a role-playing game and return to real life, I will act the same way.

How Can Broken Relationships Be Fixed?

284.01Comment: Broken relationships ruin people’s entire lives, and they can be confusing due to micro-misunderstandings. What is the right thing to do to prevent resentment and broken relationships, and conversely, to improve them?

Psychologists recommend trying to understand your counterpart’s point of view because the result of an action is not always intentional and that there is difficulty with some micro-manifestations because we all apply different standards to their assessment.

My Response: Where are the standards here? It is my standard: how I see others and try to measure myself in correspondence with them or how I see myself and try to measure others in correspondence with myself. This is completely wrong. It is like putting on a dress. If I put it on, my belly will stick out, my arms and legs will look thin, and the dress will seem ugly to me.

There are no general standards here. There can only be one standard: for the good of one’s neighbor. That is all. I do not perceive anyone in any way, neither myself nor anyone else. I am interested in only one thing: whether the phenomena that occur are for the good of man.

By “man,” I mean all of humanity, the general image of man. I do not in any way try to measure myself in correspondence with one person or another, then I will definitely get lost.

Question: How can we correctly understand the point of view of another person and determine whether it is correct or not?

Answer: I cannot understand another person. How can I understand him? How can I get out of myself in order to understand another person?

We simply must act in a way that is good for another person—for everyone! That is, in addition to what is necessary for my existence, in everything else that depends on me, I must act for the good of others.

This is natural. Very often due to our habits, we make some movements, gestures, or say some words or expressions that others may even find offensive.

We may not even feel or understand this. We must tune our hearts. The heart must be tuned to kindness to another person! Nothing else will work.

If a person is warmly tuned to another, it will still be perceived correctly. Even if he says something wrong and fails to express himself somehow, the other person will feel him.

Direct your heart to another person, to all people, to good! You need to get used to this. You need to educate yourself to do this. It is necessary to maintain the same attitude toward the environment, toward the surrounding society, and then everything will be fine!

Why Is There no Tenderness in the World?

627.1Question: The Riga-based writer Mikhail Dymov asked students from Riga schools, aged 6 to 10 to write to the Almighty and ask Him pressing questions and to ask for the most important things. And so the children asked the Creator.

If you don’t mind, I ask you to imagine yourself in the place of the Creator—what would you answer the children?

Lena, a first-grader—a first-grader—asks: “Why is the world without tenderness?”

Answer: Yes, this is how our world is. There is no tenderness in the world because people do not love each other.

Question: Then why was it created?

Answer: To bring the world as close to this as possible. That is something we must achieve on our own—independently and thoughtfully.

Question: What does it mean for life, for our world, if a first-grade girl is asking such a question? Please explain.

Answer: It means the world is already becoming serious and ready for corrective action.

Question: Even if such questions reach the youngest children?

Answer: Of course, yes.

Question: So do you believe that children feel more deeply than adults? Perhaps she sees this in how her parents interact or in interactions around her?

Answer: She sees it exactly as she sees it.

Question: And we fail to see it?

Answer: We do not see it.

Question: What is happening to us? Over the years does something gradually dim our vision?

Answer: We get used to and resign ourselves to what exists, and we do not want to see the bad because it feels unfixable. And so we live like that.
