Question: Where has pacifism gone?! Where is it?! Throughout the 20^th century it went  along with the century and developed more and more.

Answer: Where was this pacifism developing? In the First World War, in the Second World War?! The arms race, all these seizures, in Indochina, and wherever else they happened! Revolutions in Cuba, I can list many such things!

Question: But pacifism tried to prevent a Third World War. There were hippie movements, the Beatles, and Angela Davis. Carnations were inserted into weapons and machine guns. Today no one will write A Farewell to Arms like Hemingway, they will not paint The Apotheosis of War.

Answer: I think we have reached a point where the world has realized that everything is over. Enough talking, what is really needed is, if not to disarm, then to thoroughly rein in all the military and politicians.

Through their games, the rattling of weapons, and the desire to show which of them is stronger, like the boys playing in the yard, they bring us to such a state that it is impossible to live with them anymore.

Question: Does it mean that if earlier it used to be just in words, but today it is in deeds so we seem not to hear the pacifists?

Answer: Today there is no such thing because people realized that this should be much more serious. Carnations, flowers, are not enough.

Comment: This is the first time you have had such an optimistic view of the world. The world can think.

My Response: Recognition of evil.

Question: Is this the recognition of evil?

Answer: Of course.

Question: What will we get to? My question is about the future.

Answer: That it is impossible to live like this. What will happen to us in the end?

Question: Will we get to why this is happening? Why is it developing like this?

Answer: People can hear about it already today, but only hear and not make decisions to eradicate the source of this evil.

Question: Is egoism the source of evil, one way or another?

Answer: Of course, this is our egoism. There is no way to escape this fact. Therefore, there is nothing we can do.

Question: Are you saying that people will be able to hear that the source of evil is egoism, but they will not be able to do anything about it yet?

Answer: The fact is that they will not hear that the source of evil is egoism. But they will hear that these are better, those are worse, these are this way, and those are that way, and still all these clashes will lead somehow to war. But we need something completely different.

We need to tell them that there is no need to say that someone is less intelligent or more intelligent, less developed or more developed, someone descended from some cave dwellers 200,000 years ago, and someone else 2,000 years ago lived in a cave.

We do not need this. This will give nothing but anger and a new arms race.

Question: Then what should I, a person, do?

Answer: See what the future might be like. Kabbalah does not consider people, who is worse, who is better, who is in this way, who is in that way. It says it is clear who all of you are—complete egoists.

We all need to rise above our egoism, everyone above his own. Then everyone will be fine. There is no other solution!

Comment: So when you say everyone should rise above their egoism, you somehow say that I must change.

My Response: Me and everyone else. We all must help each other mutually with how to rise above our nature. We all have the same nature. It does not matter who is developed more and who is developed less.

A person will come to this. Here we need to understand that there is a method, there is such a party, and we need to listen to it. Then the world will slowly begin to change.

Comment: There is a big load on us! The whole world.

My Response: There is such a party, friends!

Comment: I heard a story about a famous actor who was an alcoholic. One day he was sitting in a bar with another man. This man started telling the actor about his own success, plans, and great project that would make him rich and famous, and further related that only he knew what truth was. Then the man got up, ran out of the bar, brakes screeched, and this guy was gone.

The story sobered up the alcoholic who stopped drinking and adopted the principle became: “Be calm, never hurry. Do not make the Lord laugh with your plans; do not fight with foam at the mouth, hammering your truth into the heads of others. Remember, your joy and death will come to you in due time, at the right time. You can’t do a damn thing about it.”

Can you comment on this principle of life.

My Response: I agree with him!

Comment: There are a lot of things here. For example, the starting point: “Be calm, never rush.”

My Response: Yes, because you won’t speed up time anyway. To do this you need to move to other coordinates, and you can’t do that.

Comment: So take your time to do some work; don’t rush to earn.

My Response: No. All the same, everything is planned and it should be so.

Comment: The second: “Don’t make the Lord laugh at your plans.”

My Response: Yes, because you will be fulfilling His plans anyway! And His only.

Question: But how can we not make plans? How is this possible?

Answer: In faith above reason. Calmly do everything that comes to you.

Question: Do you think all our plans that we conceive, twist, and run with are useless?

Answer: It is all absolutely useless.

Comment: And “Don’t fight with foam at the mouth, hammering your truth into the heads of others.”

My Response: That is for sure. First of all, what are you trying to prove? That you are more right than they are?

Comment: Yes, usually so.

My Response: But after all, everyone has their own view, their own egoism; so don’t.

Question: And if you have a deep conviction and you know that this is how people will be better off?

Answer: Buy yourself a big mirror and perform in front of it as much as you want.

Comment: Further: “Remember, your joy and death will come to you at the right time. You can’t do a damn thing about it.”

My Response: Exactly. Even if you want to end your life, it will also not work out according to your desire except when it is necessary.

Comment: But we are developing medicine, lengthening our life.

My Response: This is us making our efforts in order to get out of this world in time.

Comment: So you think that even if we didn’t develop medicine, didn’t develop drugs…

My Response: Absolutely everything would be the same.

Comment: It’s very hard for a person to imagine. He invests so much in being healthy and in having a long life.

My Response: You have to sit in the lotus posture like these ancient Indian elders, and look into the distance, into the horizon, and at the rolling waves of this world. And you don’t have to do anything else.

Question: Then can you generalize all this and give a principle by which one should live?

Answer: The principle is very simple; don’t twitch. That’s all.

Comment: So all these career ladders are worthless.

My Response: We see it all collapsing before our eyes.

Question: And the search for the meaning of life?

Answer: The search for the meaning of life is to find a point of balance with the Creator where you understand that everything should go according to His plan. And you humble yourself before His plan, in the end, and swim calmly.

Question: Basically, this whole life path, everything should come down to what you just said? The search for this point of contact with the Creator?

Answer: Yes. Find this current and join it and swim along it.

Question: And when does the calmness that you now radiate come? After running, searching, or after touching something, some truth? When?

Answer: I think that after 20 years of practicing Kabbalah it may already come. And if one is in the right environment, then even before. Because you will hear this from everyone and so on.

Question: And then we return to all these principles: be calm, take your time, don’t make God laugh at your plans; do they become real?

Answer: You don’t interfere with any of your plans and actions. You just live and try to capture more deeply the flow of life.

Question: What do I capture after all?

Answer: You capture what comes from the Creator and takes you away.

This is time, the flow of time. The river of life. And you feel like you agree with it, are ready to lie down on this current, and that it carries you.

Question: And is this the right principle, a properly lived life?

Answer: Yes. You can’t do anything else anyway. On the contrary, the wisdom is to obey.

Question: How do you see humanity, which is divided by genetics into a caste of improved ideal people and those who stayed the old-fashioned way? Will there be any problems? After all, Kabbalah also says that in the society of the future there will be ideal people who are similar to the Creator, and people who are deprived of such an opportunity. Is that not elitist?

Answer: The fact is that people who will be similar to the Creator will be engaged in educating and providing for those people who have not yet become similar to the Creator up to the moment when all people will move from the current egoistic state to the right, corrected, altruistic state.

Question: Is this the exclusivity of these ideal people?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Does it mean that there will be no racism here?

Answer: No, it cannot come from them.

Question: Will there be no advantages of some over others?

Answer: The advantage will be only in that they will take the reins of governance into their hands and will be able to show, prove, and train all the others who are still uncorrected what they need to become.

Question: What should we become?

Answer: Love thy neighbor as thyself. This was said several thousand years ago.

Reaching Out To Leaders
A Leader Is The Greatest Egoist

Comment: The largest trade agreement in history was forged between 15 countries during the pandemic. The main goal of the RCEP is to smooth the path of trade among the 15 Asia-Pacific nations and eventually pave the way for a comprehensive free-trade zone, in the style of the European Union or the old North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a trade pact between 15 nations in the Asia-Pacific region. In total it covers more than 2 billion people — about 30% of the world’s population. It promises income growth to every third inhabitant of the planet and gives hope for the revival of world trade and cooperation. The agreement united China and the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, including Australia, Japan, and South Korea.

The agreement allows trading partners in Asia to gain access to each other’s markets, reduces duties on goods, and improves living standards, especially for the poorest countries in the region.

Why not live like this? They set noble goals, however egoistic, but nevertheless, to provide income for people who are poor today, having nothing.

Answer: Yes, of course, people live badly there.

Question: Why do all the leaders not rise above their pride, join one union, and start slowly reviving our world, which is falling economically all the time?

Answer: I do not think it is possible. I do not even hope that they will have it all as rosy as they write. Someone has to win at the expense of someone who loses.

This is our world! Therefore, agreements are agreements, but then politics comes into play, petty egoism, and that is it.

Question: So, will we not be able to live normally in this world?

Answer: No. We will not. And these good impulses, they are all not really good. The point is, at the expense of what will they win? At the expense of whom will they win?

Question: Do you think one way or another, I have to suppress someone?

Answer: Our world is created this way.

Comment: They say that these are equal agreements.

My Response: That is what they always say: mutually beneficial conditions, mutual trade, and the welfare of nations.

Question: Tell me, please which union will work?

Answer: The one that has a different goal: to lead people to unity, to rise above themselves, above their egoism, above their nature. Otherwise, nothing will work.

Question: So, my goal, that I want to give welfare to a third or half of the world’s population, to the whole world, will not work anyway?

Answer: No.

Question: Should there be a goal for the people of the world to be able to unite?

Answer: Yes. Such a goal is in a state of good balance with the global force of nature, with the general development of mankind. Then, of course, it will work.

Question: Can you imagine leaders who say: “We are now uniting in order to…”?

Answer: They will explain that there is no reception against scrap, one cannot stand against nature. It turns out that going against this basic law of nature is like stepping back on some kind of rake. From this side or from a different side, under some other pretexts, it does not matter.

Question: So if people do not change, will they be like wolves to one another or be in competition with one another?

Answer: They are initially wolves. And they will not cover it with some good external affairs. This will come out and lead them to something bigger, perhaps, war among themselves.

Question: You are saying, if we are wolves, then we cannot achieve anything in this world?

Answer: Nothing. Only by suppressing each other, only by towering one above the other. We must play on our egoism.

Question: Whom does the wolf have to become for everything to happen? So that everything will be fine?

Answer: He must understand his wolf’s nature and also understand that in our time we cannot act in any other way but to become aware of our nature, and together, gradually counter it. It is not easy, but at least we must admit it.

Question: What would you advise these leaders in such a situation, in this world? If they were listening to you, what would you say? Start with yourselves?

Answer: Yes, start with yourself. Explain to each other, and write a general memorandum of your intentions and how you expect them to come true. This is possible only if you move alongside the development of nature so that your development coincides with its development.

We see how for millions of years, with humanity it has been for thousands of years, nature develops us egotistically and at the same time creates such conditions that we are obliged to somehow cope with this egoism, to balance it. And if not, then by war.

So, we have no choice but to first understand our nature, what state we are in, and what should be the path of our development—to realize that there must be a rapprochement between us above egoism.

Question: Is this your advice to leaders?

Answer: Yes. To admit that we are all egoists. It is not that hard. But the fact that we must work on it and get closer to each other is already a problem. How can we see ourselves rising above egoism and acting despite it? How can we weaken the egoistic ties between us and replace them with some altruistic ties, equal, which are based on mutual understanding, on mutual rapprochement? This is not easy.

Question: Would the law of mutual guarantee, which we are talking about, suit them? Can this be included in the memorandum?

Answer: In principle, it is implied that we will act in mutual assistance.

Question: Mutual assistance to what?

Answer: Economic mutual assistance, which stipulates global development, so that there is no one at the expense of others anywhere so that no one suppresses one another.

And how is this possible if we are in a closed space, in a closed world? We must initially define for ourselves the norms of our behavior, each relative to all. That is, it is like a group of 15 people who must work out some kind of system to come closer to each other.

Question: And if they decided to build some kind of common territory in which everyone will, in general, be happy with this connection, then should they follow these laws?

Answer: They must develop the population. They must explain to the population that the future of the world is in the good connection between people, otherwise there will be war, and in our time it can destroy them in a second.

A good connection is necessary in order not to lead these 15 countries to a fierce war, in which they have already been each in their own way, but now it can explode in general. So, this commonwealth will split into many different small communities that will start fighting among themselves, pulling the blanket, and that will be the end of it.

Comment: That is, this is the aspiration for a good connection.

My Response: Who will lead this good connection? Who will promote it, who understands what this kind of connection means? Who will counteract the egoistic individual politicians, each of whom, in turn, wants to climb above everyone and sit on everyone’s heads? This is the nature of our world. Who leads these countries? The biggest egoists.

Therefore, I do not know. Personally, I look at all this, just so it will not all explode.

If they do not follow the path of proper education of the population of their 15 countries, then in the end they will see how angry they are at each other, how much their inner egoism does not allow them to be in connection, even slightly, with each other, and eventually a trade war, a political war, will begin, and then the real war.

Question: So there is only one way—education?

Answer: Only education, changing a person.

Question: Do you think a killing gene is present in every person?

Answer: Every person has this inclination because every one of us is comprised of the full set of desires, from the best to the worst.

Question: So do we have absolutely all desires?

Answer: All of them.

Question: I heard that a serial killer said that every time he killed, he killed a part of himself? Do you think a person is constantly engaging in some sort of suicide if he kills others.

Answer: That is correct. It is natural because we are all in one common desire, in one common system.

Everything that exists is inside of me: still, vegetative, animate, and human. By killing someone or something, I kill a part of that inside of me. This is so true that a person must repent, so to speak, when he uses anything from this world for himself. He must justify this consumption, starting with a gulp of air and ending with lives, and so on.

It is the same as when we consume food or anything else. All of it requires some kind of correction.

Question: Are you saying that a person kills a part of himself if he kills someone in war or somewhere else?

Answer: Yes, that is correct.

Question: But even when killing an animal for food, am I also killing something inside of me?

Answer: Yes. Anything at all, when I consume it, including as I said before, a gulp of air, a gulp of water, it does not matter what, by that I consume, nevertheless. I kill that particle of the cosmos and I must somehow take responsibility for it. That is why there are blessings that we have to say and more things.

A person feels this even subconsciously. There are people who before drinking something, pour a little out of the cup, cut off a piece of bread, and put it aside, or do other things.

This all indicates that a person understands that he is taking from nature and taking practically without ever returning it. By that, he kills the Universe. And he wants to give, share, and so on. This exists in many nations, and it is subconsciously instilled in man.

Comment: So to exist I must kill around me.

My Response: If you do it as a necessity for your existence, to support life, then it is another matter. But you must understand it, nevertheless. That is why you have to say a blessing, so to speak, set apart a piece for someone, a tithe, and so on.

Question: And a blessing, is it when I say that I require this for my existence?

Answer: Yes. Even though it is not my fault, I was not the one who created myself this way, but I recognize this and share it in this way.

Question: Can you say why this was done? Globally speaking, for what?

Answer: A person must understand that he is in a world where he has no right to anything at all. And if he takes something and consumes it for himself, for his own sake, then he must pay for it, give it back, repay it, and so on.

Question: And the fact that we ruin everything, kill everything, and that we have brought the environment to the brink, will we be punished for that or not?

Answer: Yes, it is a great shame.

Question: Does all of it boomerang back to the person, in your opinion?

Answer: We will have to pay for all of it globally.

Comment: Rabbi Akiva said that the book is open and the hand writes, and you borrow, but later you will have to return all of it.

My Response: Indeed.

Question: Is this what we are talking about the same thing?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is taking normally only when it is for one’s existence?

Answer: It is only for existence, and if you take it only for existence, then you will be able to bestow it.

Comment: And that is blessed.

My Response: Relatively speaking. This is very complex because nature is closed, whole, and perfect. That is why our existence in it, in nature, requires us to be very careful and to be in complete bestowal.

Question: How do we nevertheless reach harmony with nature?

Answer: Only by attaining the feeling of unity with nature and the opportunity to bestow as much as we take. Then we will regulate how much to take and how much to give.

Question: But in principle, are we constantly moving toward this, one way or another?

Answer: I hope that one day we will get there.

Question: But why were we not given an understanding and feeling of this? We take without a second thought.

Answer: But we are moving toward this. This is development, the gradual development of nature from the still level onward.

Question: So do we have to come to a state where I cannot simply take and that is all? And even more so, to kill, steal, and so on?

Answer: Of course.

Question: There is a famous bridge in San Francisco where people often committed suicide. Every week a man came there and looked down. One day a driver came up to him and said: “I see you here often. Come to your senses. Life is beautiful.” The man smiled and answered him: “I am the most life-loving person in the world. I just develop this feeling even more when I look down from the bridge and realize that life can end.”

If we have this understanding that life can end in an instant, in a fraction of a second, does it increase our optimism? What do you think?

Answer: I do not know. It depends if this affects a person. I have been to this place and have passed over this bridge more than once. It is a crazy height. The water below has a temperature of seven to nine degrees. This is the Golden Gate Bridge.

Also, there are sharks down there. So, if you are not lucky enough to freeze in a few seconds or minutes, then they will eat you.

Comment: With suicides, everything is clear. But I would like to know about optimism. The fact that in a moment he may die increases the optimism of this man. He says: “But I am alive, and life is beautiful.”

My Response: But you can think the same thing when crossing the street. You do not have to go to San Francisco to do this!

Question: But still many people jump from the bridge and commit suicide, and he just looks. How can we increase optimism? Do you have any advice for people? Especially today it would be good.

Answer: Optimism will be increased only in a good environment where there are friends and comrades. When we can support each other and understand how to practically approach the revelation of real optimism, then, of course, it is possible.

Comment: You are saying that our life should consist of creating such a circle, and then nothing is scary.

My Response: Then nothing is scary. We will exist in it.

Question: What are my obligations in this circle?

Answer: Mutual support, care, and love. That is it.

Question: Does it mean that I grow this circle? I do not just enter it to receive.

Answer: Of course.

Question: Should everyone have this attitude?

Answer: It is contagious, we can infect each other with it. If you enter such a circle, then you gradually become infected with their attitude. I think it is possible.

Question: What about the usual thoughts of a person that I give them everything, I transmit love, but there is nothing in it for me. What should we do with such thoughts? They occur very often.

Answer: Also to get to a circle that would destroy them in you. Thoughts about yourself should eventually disappear.

Question: Is this the main result?

Answer: Yes, so that you think about others, not about yourself.

Question: Is it possible to dissolve like this and think only about others?

Answer: Of course, it depends on the environment.

Comment: Usually, you give an example of a mother who lives like this, if we are talking about our corporeal world.

My Response: Well, this is a mother, and we are talking about an ordinary person.

Question: Is it possible to think about them all the time, to exist for them?

Answer: Yes. We should receive such an example and such an attitude from the environment.

Question: Then can we work with optimism?

Answer: Then you can enjoy life.

Question: I see. You said that this is how you come closer to upper optimism. What is the upper optimism?

Answer: The upper optimism is when you feel that this is the absolute law of the world and that this is the meaning of existence: to rise to its level and exist in it.

Question: When you say optimism, what is it?

Answer: Optimism is when everything is great, has its own meaning, and revolves exactly according to this law—love your neighbor as yourself.

Comment: A student who watches almost all our videos, writes: “Dear Michael Laitman, My beloved husband, my soulmate, passed away a month ago. I try to ease my pain with thoughts and hope that our souls are connected and that I lost the body, but not the unity we had when he lived. Has a part of my soul gone with him? How can I feel a part of his soul in me? Maybe you can answer me. It is very difficult to live without him.”

My Response: Yes, it is difficult to answer such questions, moreover, obviously to a lonely elderly woman.

I think that the main thing is that we should not blame anyone for anything. The upper force moves all parts of nature including us. We need to look at this in a completely practical, pragmatic way. Let us prepare ourselves for the state when we will know and see everything and feel our world from above.

Question: Could you tell what state she should be in? He is gone, and there is no physical body in front of her.

Answer: She must be in a state of submission. What is there, let it continue. Time will change, and fate will change, and then we will feel a new life.

Question: If you pass all this obediently?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: That is, to return to this all the time and torment yourself with it…

My Response: No, none of this is necessary. Torments are not needed.

Question: And what to submit to in this case? To fate, to the upper providence?

Answer: To both. It is the same.

Question: The German company Ectolife made a video presentation a project of an artificial uterus for carrying children. They showed a huge field of capsules, artificial uteruses, with fetuses inside them, very similar to the movie The Matrix.

In the video, they assert that the fetuses are provided with everything necessary, classical music for brain development, and the voice of parents to establish an emotional connection. The head of the project says: “We reproduce ideal conditions.” He says that parents will be able to see the entire growth of the child, and mothers can even feel how the child moves his legs and so on.

How do you feel about such an experiment?

Answer: I think this is pure fantasy. This is impossible.

Comment: The egg is fertilized in a test tube and implanted in the uterus.

My Response: Implanting into the uterus is another matter. But I think we are still very far from creating such conditions as in the uterus. We cannot imagine the influence of the mother’s body on the fetus.

Comment: It is possible probably. After all, technology can come to all these things.

My Response: I doubt it.

Question: Do you doubt it? What if they could? Will such children be able to appreciate their parents because there was no process of birth?

Answer: I cannot answer that. I doubt it would be children at all. These would be some kind of artificial formations.

Comment: You are saying that there will be as if no soul in them.

My Response: There would be no soul; there would be no connection with the mother’s body.

Question: And neither music nor the voices of parents would help?

Answer: No, as soon as we start making such serious attempts, we will see that it is practically impossible.

Question: What if, let us say, it would be possible, is the maternal instinct triggered in this case or not? Or should she feel it all, endure it, and carry it through herself?

Answer: I do not think it can exist if she did not carry a baby. If she did not carry it, then how could she even feel it as her own?

Question: Should the mother somehow feel all this during these nine months? The pains, and all these conditions?

Answer: Yes. I think that we still have a lot of discoveries in this matter, and as a result, we are not even getting close to it yet.

Question: Do we know whether we will get closer?

Answer: It seems to me that we will abandon this venture.

Comment: But there are some women who cannot give birth.

My Response: This is another matter; we need to help here. There are all kinds of methods for this. But even these methods must take place in a living organism, in a healthy, living organism.

Question: The last question: would it be some different organism, that is, will there be no soul in it? When you say “baby’s soul,” how is it formed?

Answer: Who can know that?!

Under the influence of the father, the mother, and the environment, and all those generations that they have passed. All this is not simple at all.

Everything that takes place inside the mother is being formed and transmitted to the future person.

Question: That is, during these nine months of gestation, do lives and different states pass there?

Answer: Yes, we feel it, in principle, in ourselves during our life—what exists within us and how much is in us from our ancestors.

Do you want to cut it all off somehow?

Question: Will it not work?

Answer: No.

Comment: You once said that we do not even know two percent of what is going on there.

My Response: Of course. In the nutrition of the embryo, no matter if the material one or not, the important thing is that he is connected to his mother.

Question: Do you think that the methods will remain the same natural ones and we will not defeat nature in this?

Answer: No. We do not even have to defeat it. We just need to learn from it and try to do everything possible to support it to give it the best conditions for the correct, ideal development of the fetus in the mother. In general, this is a science that has not yet begun.

Question: The great Kabbalist Baal HaSulam in the 10^th and 11^th parts of The Study of the Ten Sefirot describes birth and development. Gestation in seven and nine months, 40 days, etc., everything is described! What is the connection between all this?

Answer: Absolute connection.

Question: Is this the connection of spirituality with everything that happens inside the mother?

Answer: Of course. Physical connection is a consequence of spiritual connection, a consequence of spiritual development. There is no way to avoid all this.

Question: Does it mean that what is going on there, all this mystery is, in principle, revealed in the spiritual world?

Answer: Of course.

Comment: What if we could somehow get in there?

My Response: What for? When we are ready for this, we will slowly begin to understand this. If we had received this knowledge today, we would have started to do something out of it.

Question: So, is there a meaning in these words—the secret of conception, the secret of birth?

Answer: Yes of course.

Question: How can young people keep their family together if by nature we can only take care of ourselves, and at the same time can live happily in a marriage only if we take care of our partner? How do I make these changes?

Answer: When you get married, you must understand that it is forever, as it is said: “Until death do us part.”

It can be in any case of life. Even if some of you do not like it or like it, you continue because children appear. You get married or get married forever, once for a lifetime.

If you initially know this, then it is not difficult. Mostly, you build your life in such a way that it interferes with you less.

I know many couples who work 20 hours a day and see each other a couple of months a year. That is, it does not matter. It is not that they dilute their lives with this, but they know that they still have an obligation forever.

Question: Man’s nature is to take care of himself, and a person should understand that by taking care of another, he will thereby make this marriage happy. How do these two points touch?

Answer: You need to think more about the other, and then you will see that it fills you. It is very simple really. When you think about someone else, you think about yourself less directly, but through another.

And at the same time, the world is arranged in such a way that everything fits well. It is amazing! I would just advise this formula to be well thought out.

Comment: That is, you have now proposed two simple but serious formulas. First, I am getting married and getting married forever. We are connected forever. And the second formula is I take care of the other, all the time.

Answer: In this way, I get rid of all the problems. Strange as it may seem.

Comment: Alexander writes: “Michael Laitman, when you say that the Creator is good and does only good, what do you want from an unfortunate poor person? If there is only grief around him, then the fact that the Creator is good sounds like a mockery of him.

Your house is destroyed, this is good; your loved ones have died, this is good; you are forced to leave everything you have earned, this is good. We have to convince ourselves that all this is for our good, that the Creator is kind and does good, or how should we understand you?”

My Response: It is very simple to understand me. We must try to understand the laws of nature, and try to fulfill them and disseminate them. These are the laws of the Creator.

Comment: There are thousands of questions like this, especially in our time, and you continue to say that nature is connection and good and the Creator is good and does good. These questions multiply in conjunction with what is happening in the world. How can a person renounce what is happening in front of his eyes and in his feelings?

My Response: What he sees before his eyes is done by people, not by the Creator.

The Creator set conditions, and if we had fulfilled them, we would have lived completely differently. Otherwise, what do you do?

Question: These laws of nature, as you say, the Creator, should I know and fulfill them?

Answer: Never mind fulfilling them, but at least know them.

Question: Can you name the main law?

Answer: It is very simple: “Love thy neighbor as thyself.”

Comment: We run into this formula all the time. But it’s not easy. You immediately say that this needs to be achieved.

My Response: You are talking about the law. I gave you the law. If this formula is not easy, what will you do?

Comment: So you are saying that we all need to know about this, all of humanity does.

My Response: Yes. The whole world is built on it. If you act in this way, you will be closer to the Creator and to fulfilling His law, the global law of all nature. What’s next? See for yourself.

Question: So I know that I can’t do it yet, I understand that I can’t, and you call this advancement already?

Answer: Of course!

Question: The fact that I understand that I cannot fulfill this law?

Answer: It doesn’t matter. But you understand that such a law exists, and in the end, ideally, if you followed it, you would be at the degree of the Creator.

Question: And who are you more for, for those who say and even write to us: “I am fulfilling this law” or for those who say: “It is impossible to execute it”?

Answer: Of course, it is impossible to execute.

Question: How can we fulfill it in this case? Do we have to think about it?

Answer: If we gradually connect for the sake of fulfilling this law, then we begin to acquire in ourselves within our connection qualities that begin to feel this law on ourselves, and gradually, gradually we approach it and its fulfillment. That is all.

Question: Are these qualities in us, or are they somehow given to us? You say, “They weren’t in us. There is no love in us.”

Answer: They weren’t in us, absolutely. We attract them. We attract them from above, so to say. From an upper degree.

Question: So there is our degree and there is a higher degree. It is here. Is our task just to reach out to it?

Answer: To draw it to yourself.

Question: Do I have to live with this thought that I want to draw this quality to myself?

Answer: Yes, to live for this.

Question: Is this the goal of life by and large?

Answer: Of course. It is to pull up to the love of one’s neighbor is the meaning of life.

Question: Tell me, will we ever reach a state when a mass of people…?

Answer: We can’t wait, we have to do it on ourselves. Then it will happen.

Question: Then will I stop seeing, let’s say, the way Alexander describes, that everything around is terrible?

Answer: I will see that everything is terrible, but it can all be fixed.
