We Are Looking for Happiness in the Wrong Place

200.01Question: You say: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” But I do not hear you, for example. How do I come to the conclusion that these are exactly the gates that I must enter?

Answer: You will bump your nose against these gates and understand that there cannot be any other gates! And besides these gates there is nothing, just emptiness.

Question: Is this what is written by the great Kabbalists, that you walk along the wall and there are no gates? And suddenly at some point, when you are already walking exhausted, you suddenly see—gates. And it turns out they were always there.

Answer: Yes.

Question: And I did not see them?

Answer: No.

Question: And what did I need to see them? They were always there, they were!

Answer: You lack disappointment.

Question: So I must be disappointed in everything?

Answer: Absolutely. In everything! So that only one thing remains: Dvekut (spiritual adhesion) and brotherhood! We do not know what that is. We keep using substitutes and surrogates. But then we will feel it.

Question: Can you at least give a hint? It is clear that if we do not feel, then we might not be able to hear you. But what do you mean by “brotherhood”?

Answer: Brotherhood is when we all find ourselves in one desire, one intention, in complete fusion, in the connection of everyone with everyone. And we return again to the system that is called “Adam,” like a single person in one body, in one heart. This is the correct future.

This must stand before us! This is how this future must stand before me as an obvious, achievable, necessary state.

Question: You just painted what we must come to after all our wanderings and disappointments?

Answer: Precisely why they are needed—to arrive at this state.

From Hatred to Love Is Not Science Fiction

252Question: Is it really possible to just go from hatred to love? One moment you hate, clearly hate, and suddenly after some time passes, say next year, we shift to love. Can that happen, or is it fantasy?

Answer: We can do that. We are in such extreme states, states that are opposite to this feeling, that we are capable of doing it.

Comment: That is very strange. You said that since we are in opposite states, we can do it.

My Response: Yes, because we see where we end up, where all our efforts and achievements vanish, everything slips through our fingers, and we cannot achieve anything. We are like blind, foolish puppies. That is how we live. It is terrible! I have no words for it!

But if we ask nature to change us, we will experience a transformation of forces, feelings, and qualities beyond anything we could expect. Because the Creator is love.

Don’t Blame the Mirror

131Question: How do I find out what nature has in store for me and where it is leading me?

Answer: Nature is leading you to realize the possibilities you have to change the future, and reach it. This depends on each person’s participation in that future.

Question: What possibilities do I have? I don’t think I have any special ones. But tell me, what are they?

Answer: You do!

Question: What?

Answer: Of course, I do not have such a site where you would go in, pay, and get a guarantee.

Question: Yes, but in principle, what must I do?

Answer: You need to want to find out about your influence on your future. You must build it, create it. It is what you make of it. They tell you the laws of nature, and from them, as from some construction set, you must assemble your future.

Question: What is the main law of nature?

Answer: The main law of nature is the correspondence of a person with the law of nature. I am not over complicating things. The law of nature is the law of universal bestowal and love, universal unification, universal mutual complementation until the ideal picture of the system of the world is revealed before us.

Question: Is it only toward this that I as a person must go?

Answer: Yes. And nothing more.

Question: That is, I should not struggle with anything?

Answer: Struggle only with the aim of fulfilling this law.

Question: With whom does this struggle take place?

Answer: The struggle is with oneself, of course. Only that. So do not blame the mirror. This is how we must work, and then what we make is what we will receive.

Question: That is, if everyone directs himself toward himself—everyone, but toward himself, not toward another—then will we turn this picture of the future upside down?

Answer: As much as we wish. As much as we want, so much we will do.

Where the Ladder of Life Leads Us

519Question: What am I ascending toward as I move from one dead end to another?

Answer: I ascend so that these rungs of ascent create the desires, qualities, and properties within me that will allow me to reveal the meaning of life. It does exist! It is just that I do not see it, feel it, sense it, or know how to formulate it.

And as a result of these ascents, when I crawl from step to step like a small child on hands and knees, trying to climb up, I develop my intellect and feelings to understand the meaning of this ascent. And suddenly I begin to understand, as if this meaning is found between the rungs.

Question: Is there an end to these rungs?

Answer: It is somewhere very far away. Practically speaking, there isn’t one. And why should there be if I begin to sense that this process itself is life?

Life is precisely in finding disappointment at every step, the need to find strength, and a precise aspiration, a goal. Otherwise you lack the drive—the what for, the why, and for what purpose, or the ability to determine what constitutes a correct goal or right decision, And so on.

In other words, as you ascend these rungs, you begin to feel yourself growing and creating.

Question: What is it that drives me? Is it to get past this dead end or to draw closer to something?

Answer: No, you no longer even wish so much to reach some final rung. You begin to feel pleasure in the fact of traversing them. Between the rungs you begin to feel the wisdom and clarity inherent in them.

Question: And do I begin to sense this governance?

Answer: This is what precisely is meant by “From Your actions I will come to know You” (Mi maasecha hikarnucha)—that from the rungs themselves, from how they are created for you, and the fact that you were created simultaneously with them yet intended to rise above them—from all of this you begin to attain the Creator of these rungs. And this is the essential thing.

Then the World Will Stop Pressing You

963.5We wait for positive changes to happen on the outside. They won’t! We have to come to the conclusion that changes for the better can occur only if we change from within ourselves. That is when we will begin to depict our world the way we want to see it! That is what we have to do.

Question: Does our nature depict the world now? Does our egoism depict the world?

Answer: Yes

Comment: You are supposed to be enjoying yourself, but I am not. This is my state right now.

My Response: Egoism has finished its development. It shows you the entire world you exist in. That is all it can give you. Ultimately it will press down on you and crush you to the point that you cannot exist in this world. You will feel so bad, nauseous, fearful, uncomfortable, in other words, in any possible way.

This is solely so you understand that there are no more changes to be made on the outside. We have gone through all stages of our egoistic development; we have reached a state where the next step is simply to slaughter one another. This is it, there is nothing else.

Question: What should I say to my egoism now that I have understood that my egoism has depicted the entire picture for me?

Answer: You should say that egoism is right, that it has done its job; it brought you to the state where you are in complete disappointment and have to understand that you must not exist in such a paradigm. Must not!

What should you do? You have to correct yourself and then the world will be corrected too. This is a totally different methodology.

Comment: I should not correct the world, but correct myself…

My Response: You should correct the world by correcting yourself.

Comment: Yes, this is not easy!

My Response: It’s not easy, but this is a good moment in history when we indeed have to change the source of our development, the system, the methodology of our development. Our development will depend not on breaking nature that surrounds us, but on how we will be changing ourselves. As a result, the world will be changing.

Question: You keep saying: “Change yourself.” What exactly do you imply by “changing yourself?”

Answer: This is simple: change my evil attitude to everything that surrounds me from an exploitive and egoistic attitude to a kind and altruistic one.

Comment: A warm, kind attitude.

My Response: Yes. Then I will begin to see the world differently. I will start to see through it a different system of governance.

Question: And what will I receive pleasure from? After all, it is a person who receives pleasure.

Answer: I will be bonding with this world, will be attaining its eternity, infinity, perfection, something that I do not see now because I look with my limited egoistic eyes.

This is what lies ahead of us.

We Will Ask for Another Kind of Love

261I will tell you that something else is coming: a time when the love of our world disappears, when there is no reciprocity, and no attraction. This is already happening! We can already see it developing in the new generation. And then we will realize that we have nothing left to live for, nothing to fill ourselves with!

Question: Will we ask for a different kind of love?

Answer: Yes, we will request fulfillment. Man does not live by bread alone. And then we will feel that we need the true source of all fulfillments.

This will be a moment of profound disillusionment, yet also a profound revelation regarding a new source. And then a cry of supplication will rise from all of humanity: “How will we be able to fill ourselves?! How will we be able to exist?! Where is this source?!”

Question: So now we can see how we are being cut off from all sources of pleasure? Is a passage, a tunnel, being constructed for us that leads to the true source?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Will the Creator be that source?

Answer: There is no other source.

Question: But will a person actually say: “This is the Creator”?

Answer: Yes, this is the Creator of my life, of all my aspirations; He is everything that I want. I want only Him.

In fact, He is the one we striving for all along, with egoism, but it does not matter; it is always only toward Him.

Let us wait.

Comment: Let us wait, hope, and believe.

My Response: Yes, it will happen soon.

You Will Receive Everything You Lack

276.01Question: I wanted to ask you, for example, about food. Eating a meal prepared by mom or grandma with love, in general, something prepared with love is good, right?

Answer: This you will have to embody, express, and bring this to the fore within yourself based on your own inner tensions, desires, and aspirations. Then you will be able to visualize it all within yourself.

They all exist, Mom, Grandma, and absolutely everything else you could possibly want. It all exists in the space around you. But take it and bring it closer to yourself. Grandma will no longer appear with a plate that she will set before you and say: “My dear grandson, eat.”

This will no longer happen. But you can achieve another kind of connection with these forms of fulfillment. We will be led to this.

Everyone will have a kind of fulfillment that will simply envelop them completely. And they will lack nothing. They will thank the Creator for everything, fab everything! This will happen.

Question: Toward what are we approaching with the creation of such…?

Answer: A person must gradually emerge from their material environment and enter a virtual environment, and then a spiritual one. This is bound to happen.

Question: And there he will feel all this warmth?

Answer: Yes. Everything. Absolutely everything! Warmth, taste, care, sympathy—everything that he lacks in this life right now, today. That is, what he felt when he was a tiny child with his mother.

Comment: And simple food will be perceived as…

My Response: It does not matter, even without food. Fulfillment does not depend on food. This is just a vessel; there is nothing in it.

Question: You are somehow perceiving the relationship, actually?

Answer: Of course. Yes.

Question: So this relationship toward me from grandma or mom, who gave me food, I will absorb this, feel this? Will this come from the world?

Answer: You will feel this from the higher force, which, it turns out, was this mother and grandmother, and everything else.

Do you understand? It seemed to you that this was mom or grandma. The Creator presented Himself to you in this form. And now you will perceive this in such a form that it is Him. And you will not think about relatives, close ones, people, and so on; you will perceive everything from Him.

Question: So the revelation of the Creator will give all these flavors and feelings?

Answer: There is no one except Him; everything is only from there.

What Is Our Life?

209Question: Please tell me, what is our life?

Answer: Our life is a form of existence of protein-based matter.

Question: But still…?

Answer: Still, from this life, we take its Reshimot (spiritual records), memories, and impressions and continue. A huge number of tiny grains of egoism, meaning corrupted desires created by the Creator, gradually go through purification, correction, and connection.

Comment: So, these small egoisms (7 to 8 billion of them) live their lives precisely in order to come to this, as you say.

My Response: Hell, purgatory, and paradise. Like in Dante’s works.

Hell is the feeling and realization of one’s egoism, of one’s lowly nature, and everything that can be said about it. Purgatory is when a person tries to correct it, to cleanse it. And paradise is when a person puts this egoism at the service of other people.

These are the three stages we must go through.

Question: So a person throughout his lives moves toward this final third stage?

Answer: Yes, and therefore, if people understand what these three stages are—hell, purgatory, and paradise—meaning, attainment of awareness of one’s egoism, its correction, and its proper use, then everything is fine. We must try.

If You Want to Reach the Upper World

928The upper world is a state of correct self-assessment. It is closer to a form of judgment, a profound psychological examination of one’s feelings, thoughts, and actions from the perspective of truth that is revealed when one detaches from one’s body.

After all what is the real issue? Dying or not dying? It is about parting with one’s egoism. Only then does a person see what is actually happening in the universe no longer through the lens of one’s egoism. Then one sees what is called the future world, the upper world, not through egoism. Through egoism, one sees only our world.

Question: Are you saying that a person can reach truth while still alive, in this body, in this world?

Answer: There is no problem at all.

Comment: That would be wonderful!

My Response: To achieve that, a specific inner state is required regarding a person’s desires, intentions, and inner strength.

Otherwise, it would overwhelm them. That is why people are not allowed to experience it prematurely. They must first acquire a screen (a force of resistance to egoism) in this world, so that they do not exchange these special states for some fleeting pleasure. Only then it is given to them.

Comment: You are saying that a person is destined for such immense, unimaginable happiness and love, and that they must…

My Response: They must prepare for it.

Question: Are they prepared for this in our world?

Answer: Yes, if they want to.

Don’t Look Back

760.2A person should not look back. He should not gnaw at himself or reproach himself for certain actions, nor at the same time praise himself for some of his deeds.

In other words, he should not try to strike a balance, thinking that I did this in such a way and that in another way, and here I fell a little short.

Question: Was this my life; either that of a hero or a sinner?

Answer: My life is not mine. And now I can finally say that what I lived through was not lived by me. It passed through me, but it was not me. I was being led. My life, it is how it appeared to me in a dream. It was not me, it all passed like a dream. And therefore, one simply must accept this; nothing else is required.

Question: Just accept it?

Answer: Yes. Just accept it. And that does not matter either. Whatever happens to a person will happen. And whatever he feels in the process, he will feel. It is not “he” who feels it, but rather “he” who is felt, so to speak.
