Comment: Arkady writes: “Michael Laitman, you always talk about the heart—feel with your heart, understand with your heart, and hear with your heart. Everyone nods their heads and writes sublime comments, as if they understand. But it is not clear. Tell us, practically, what is a heart that hears, understands, and feels? Otherwise, it resembles philosophy that is completely devoid of life.”

My Response: A heart that understands is aware of everything, feels, and hears; these are connected hearts, nothing more.

Comment: But the human heart has different associations.

My Response: Remove everything preventing their connection with each other, and you will get this common heart.

Question: When you say “heart,” what do you mean? Do you mean desire?

Answer: Yes, desire. Not a pump.

Question: What should my desire become in order to connect with desires of others?

Answer: It could be a pump, when I pump others. I live in order to pump blood, to drive my blood through others. And so does each one through all others.

Question: When you say “blood,” what do you mean?

Answer: Life-giving fluid. This is life.

Question: And when you say “life,” what do you mean?

Answer: Life is a feeling of connection with everyone and the reason for living.

Question: What do we come to when we start living this way?

Answer: We rise above ourselves, live for others, and are connected all together, and then we understand the hearts of all.

Question: Then it will all be like one heart. Besides “heart” can we replace this word?

Answer: No. This is what we are used to and how it is said and written everywhere.

Question: Kabbalists write “heart.” Why the heart and not the mind?

Answer: It is responsible for life. This is where we feel fulfillment, compression, expansion. We live according to this rhythm.

Question: When I say, “My heart is in pain,” what do I mean?

Answer: It is actually shrinking; these are very serious nerve connections. That’s why a person feels more, less; it is the work of the heart. That is why it is so significant.

Question: Five of the largest universities studying world problems stated at the same time that the risk of using nuclear weapons in the world had reached the highest level since the Cold War.

All the countries that possess nuclear weapons continue to increase and modernize them and do not even think to negotiate or to talk about peace or reducing nuclear weapons. It was heard here and there before, but now no one talks about it at all. It seems that the number of nuclear warheads in the world has begun to increase for the first time since the Cold War.

In the past we talked and agreed, in the 70s and 80s we heard it all the time, but now it’s as if it’s been cut off. Did we realize the truth that we will not agree?

Answer: Yes. Today the world is so diverse and so selfish that no matter whom you negotiate with, it is useless because there are 20 other countries that have nuclear weapons that are opposed to your agreement with someone else and are not going to negotiate with anyone.

I think all the speculation about this will not yield anything.

Nothing will help! Everyone will hold on to their nuclear club, we will not trust anyone, and so we will exist from day to day, and so on.

Question: What is the way out of this?

Answer: This is the way out.

Question: The way out is to exist like this? Everyone holds a stick and exists this way?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So you see that the countries will increase their nuclear weapons even further?

Answer: Sure. So what? The bludgeon will no longer be 100 kilotons, but one million kilotons, and more and more.

Question: Now Iran will have nuclear weapons and someone else will also. And will everyone have nuclear weapons? Will we continue to live like this?

Answer: Of course.

Question: For how long? Until what state?

Answer: I don’t think it is going to collapse. It will be increasing all the time.

Question: Is there any way out of this situation?

Answer: Will we find a way out? Or will everything blow up?

Comment: And some two unfortunate people will start giving birth and reproducing again.

My Response: Yes. That’s it and nothing else, or there is the revelation of the Kabbalistic method of getting rid of egoism and the destruction of any egoistic weapon as a consequence.

Question: This is the alternative that Kabbalists offer. And they say that it will happen, that one way or another we will come to this. Even through wars will we come to this?

Answer: Yes, it will happen.

Comment: So you have only one conclusion: look at egoism and only to work with it.

My Response: It is eternal; there is no getting away from it. It can only be corrected within something, but it does not disappear by itself.

Question: That’s reasonable. What you say is logically clear, that we create all this with our pride and our egoism. Why don’t we hear that this is the way out?

Answer: No, people may agree with you, but they will say, “This is unrealistic.” And they will be absolutely right.

Question: When does it become real?

Answer: We need to tell all people about this. And then we will bring this state closer. But how it will develop and reveal to people that it is really possible to get rid of egoism as a universal, central evil, we need to move toward nevertheless. We must advertise and expand this education and upbringing.

Question: How does it feel for you to live with this awareness, to continue working, to continue disseminating?

Answer: It feels normal. I know that I will die tomorrow and the world will continue to exist. And a lot of people will think like me and try to do something until it eventually works out. Everything flows.

Question: We live in turbulent times, after all. We look back and we see pandemic and war. We have also had powerful earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. I will not even mention the death toll because it is growing rapidly. Every day they add two or three thousand unfortunate, dead people. It is also very cold there. The cold weather hit exactly at the same time. Now, probably, it is almost impossible to find people who are still alive.

When there are wars between people, then, in principle, it may be possible to come to some kind of agreement at some point when the forces are exhausted. But when war is declared by nature, what is there to do?

We are such little bugs! We have developed science and technology, but we cannot foresee what is happening. What is going on there is hell! The war that nature has declared on us, what should we do with it? How can we work with this?

Answer: I think there is nothing we can do. Nothing!

The Torah says that if you do the right thing, according to your conscience, and so on, then everything will be fine. The Creator—Nature (in gematria “Teva”) will treat you normally, and everything will be fine. You will get the sun in time, the rain in time. In general, everything will be alright. But this is on condition that you will be good.

Question: You said that Nature—”Nature” with a capital letter—is equivalent to the concept of the Creator. The gematria of these two words in Hebrew is the same. That is, we are talking about the Creator, right?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: You also say that if we are good to the Creator, then He will be good to us.

My Response: Naturally. Fulfill His commandments and you will see how He treats you absolutely in the same way! The commandments are the laws of nature.

The laws of nature are not physics, mathematics, and so on, which we know from science. The laws of nature are those that relate to the level of a person’s attitude to the world. That is, it is the relationship of people with each other, the relationship of a person with inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature. This is a person’s attitude to the universe, to the cosmos, to everything. All of this means the attitude of a person to the Creator.

In general, it should be just love, a correct and warm attitude to everything that is outside of you. To everything outside of you.

Comment: That is, I have a love for myself, there is no getting away from it.

My Response: This is your egoism.

Question: Are you saying that I do not have it for the other and for what is outside of me?

Answer: No, of course not.

Question: Or is it insufficient?

Answer: No! It does not exist.

Question: How can I exit myself and start loving something around me? Are there any steps that a person should take? We are now talking, in principle, about how to resist or how to stop this entire war that nature has declared against us. If possible, give specific advice. How can I exit myself and start loving something outside of myself?

Answer: This is “love your neighbor as yourself.” This is the most important and general commandment of the entire Torah.

Question: When you say “neighbor,” do you mean only a person who is close to me?

Answer: In general, in principle, this is an attitude to everything around you. You must develop this love in yourself and start giving it. Moreover, not just by calculation: this I love a little more, this a little less, and so on. Love! To love is when your heart tells you what your attitude should be.

Comment: The topic of the heart is also not very clear to us.

My Response: We need to work on it. This is not just to flip some switch. This is a whole process to love someone outside of yourself.

Question: What does it mean to love?

Answer: To love means to treat another as yourself. What could be simpler?

Comment: That is for sure. But we cannot make this step.

My Response: No. We do not even understand how.

Question: How to make it then?

Answer: I do not know. We need to just watch some movie first, about how a person loves himself so that I can learn from this how I should love others.

Question: Do you mean, kind of to copy it?

Answer: Yes. Go on, show me in some movie about how much I love myself, without any exceptions. Then I will see from here how I should love others. So that I always have this example.

Comment: So, I live all the time to receive something sweet, good, warm, kind, and cordial, I want everyone to treat me like this.

My Response: Mainly, to be right all the time.

Question: You are right here, yes. Do I suddenly have to give it up and say, “You are right”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: This is a serious job. Will nature calm down then?

Answer: Of course, it will calm down! Because you, the most important instigator of all this negative process, will simply remove yourself from the picture. Nature corrects us and leads us to this very decision.

And nature reacts to this. It has given the human this world, this Earth, at his mercy. Do whatever you want.

Comment: But, in principle, it is giving and bestowing.

My Response: It is giving and bestowing to the extent that you are giving and bestowing.

Comment: You put an equal sign here; if I am the same as it, everything will be fine.

My Response: A person must come to the similarity with the Creator. This is why nature is not giving up here.

Question: If we reduce everything to a short sentence, then it turns out that we must be similar to the Creator and that is it. Just how to do it?! Will it not rest until we come to that?

Answer: No! It is said about this: “Rise to the level of the Creator.”

Comment: Do you know that seismologists are already predicting that it will not stop, but will continue to shake us more and more? There is something going on with the core, something with the Earth. I will not go into the technical details. But they say it will continue to shake and there will be more and more places where it will be seriously shaking. That is what they say.

My Response: It is as if the Creator is playing with our Earth as with a ball.

Question: Is this, as you say, until we make this decision and begin to move toward the Creator?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Do we just need to make this decision? Is that all that is required of us?

Answer: But we need to agree! To accept means to agree. This is not like at a meeting—we accepted this unanimously and went home. There should be unanimous agreement here, of all people to live according to the principle of “love your neighbor as yourself.”

Question: Can we say that all 613, or even 620 commandments are included in this one commandment?

Answer: Of course.

Question: When arctic temperatures drop down to -40 degrees and the wind speed is 40 meters per second, penguins gather into a circle and slowly move around the circle. The warmest ones in the middle of the circle switch places with the colder ones standing at the edges. And they continue this way until the storm passes. They survive thanks to each one’s care for every other one in extreme conditions.

Can we humans adopt this skill that penguins have?

Answer: No, of course not. What we see in the animal kingdom is the expression of natural laws and not freedom of will.

Question: So this is not the penguins’ freedom of will?

Answer: No, of course not. I do not switch places with someone because I think I should give up my spot to him. I switch places with him because this natural law is present inside of me and it directs me on how to act.

Question: Am I driven by instinct to switch places?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: So, the penguin is warm and comfortable, yet it goes into the cold, into the storm, and gives up its place to another penguin to warm up instead of himself. You are saying that this does not exist in man.

My Response: It cannot. We do not have such a law.

Question: Can we develop it within ourselves?

Answer: Go ahead, love your neighbor, and everything will be good.

Comment: In principle, they say that there is a core inside the Earth and the Earth rotates around it. You are describing this law in a similar way; the core is everything and the foundation of everything. And you can answer any question, in principle, with this sentence?

My Response: But this is the central law of nature.

Comment: Yet at the same time you say that it is difficult to achieve this.

My Response: To realize, agree, and accept it as the true solution to all our problems, that is not easy.

Comment: Nevertheless, sooner or later we will be obligated to achieve it.

My Response: We will achieve it.

Question: Is there a way to circumvent it?

Answer: No, of course not. However, it is written that this will happen by way of inconceivable suffering. But where can we escape?

Comment: So, we will be able to leave the warm spot and give it up to another person, for them to warm up, only if there will be love between us.

My Response: Yes.

Question: You have repeatedly cited the metronome effect, which is the fact that metronomes moving randomly will suddenly begin to move in synchrony after a while.

There is one very important detail here, the metronomes should stand on the same base. If you put synchronous metronomes on different bases, they will loosen up after a while. There should be a single base for the metronomes.

Today’s humanity resembles such versatile metronomes. Everyone is moving in different directions. What base should be placed under all these “metronomes” so that they will suddenly begin to move harmoniously together after some time?

Answer: It is the law of mutual dependence, absolute mutual dependence. The dependence of every person on everyone, everyone on everyone else.

Comment: But now everyone, including scientists, claim that today’s humanity resembles one village that is dependent on each other. Even we see it.

My Response: But I do not see an immediate consequence that would stop me from making egoistic actions. Therefore, it does not help.

Question: So does all this remain in theory? Scientists talk, let them talk.

What should we do to come to this law? In principle, it is a logical law that we are all already really in a mutual relationship. Somewhere there is war and the whole world suffers; someone quarrels somewhere and the whole world suffers. Can some kind of dictatorship squeeze the world? You are in mutual relationship with everything!

Answer: No, this will not be the fulfillment of a voluntary, heartfelt law. In this way, you can put everyone in a row and that is it.

Question: Do you also want it to be voluntary and heartfelt?

Answer: With the realization that without this, we will be lost. It must be this way.

Question: When does awareness come? When I can no longer bear it?

Answer: Yes, probably so, with the realization that, otherwise it is impossible.

Question: So now are we being led to a dead end?

Answer: Yes. We live in good times.

Question: The great Kabbalist sages have said: “We would not like to live in this time.” Do you think we live in this time?

Answer: We are getting closer. What will happen next is hard to imagine. It will be such a study on our own flesh that.

Question: Do you directly perceive the words of the sages of the distant past that they would not want to live in this time?

Answer: Yes. Both literally and figuratively, in every sense.

Question: So difficult times await us if we do not come to our senses? And to come to your senses is again, as you say, to come to love for your neighbor?

Answer: Yes, nothing else. This is the law, and it must be fulfilled.

We will wait until the loving hand of the Creator squeezes us from above.

Question: He, being loving, is making us become loving?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And then will everything end and a completely different dimension will begin?

Answer: We will be like metronomes. This is called being on one basis.

In the News (Reuters): “The two officials…appeared before a House of Representatives intelligence subcommittee for the first public U.S. congressional hearing on the subject in a half century. It came 11 months after a government report documented more than 140 cases of unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs, that U.S. military pilots had observed since 2004. …

“Bray, deputy director of naval intelligence, said the number of UAPs officially cataloged by a newly formed Pentagon task force has grown to 400 cases. Both officials chose their words carefully in describing the task force’s work, including the question of possible extraterrestrial origins, which Bray said defense and intelligence analysts had not ruled out.

“Bray did say that ‘we have no material, we have detected no emanations, within the UAP task force that would suggest it is anything non-terrestrial in origin.'”

Question: What do you think about the seriousness of this issue?

Answer: They say what they decide they can say. There are still a lot of things that are not said, are not finished, and are classified. It is a fact that such kinds of things do exist relative to us. But the thing is, we still do not know anything about it.

Question: Who is flying?

Answer: It is not known who and how. They just fly.

Question: Can you assume that these are some aliens flying?

Answer: What is the point if I guess? I do not have any knowledge about them.

Comment: So, at least they do exist.

My Response: There is everything in nature, above us and below us, everything in general. So what?

Comment: Entire huge departments are engaged in these developments, tracking unidentified objects and so on.

My Response: They have money, let them work.

Question: Some say that aliens want to tell us something.

Answer: I do not think there is any desire to tell us anything because we have never been told anything. Otherwise, this would have been reported to us long ago. They observe us a little. I think they are much more developed than us, and they have really nothing to do with us.

Question: Is it because we are not developed at all?

Answer: Of course.

Question: So, are we like guinea pigs for them?

Answer: They guard us in some way.

Question: Do they study us?

Answer: I do not think we are worth studying.

Question: Then tell me please what should be said to humanity? Humanity is always waiting for something to be said to it.

Answer: There is nothing to say! What can you say to humanity? You come to a forest, to inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature and see all these types of nature there. What do you want to tell them?

We are at the animal level. Moreover, we are at the negative animate level. What can they possibly tell us?

Question: There is nothing to convey to this humanity, nothing to say to us?

Answer: They have nothing to tell us because we are not at the level where we can correctly perceive what they convey to us.

Question: In other words, if we were at a level that is closer to correct perception, would they have transmitted their message to us?

Answer: Of course.

Question: What would they transmit then?

Answer: How can we rise even higher? Not in technology, not in machinery because that is no longer a problem for us. Rather, by uniting with each other we would begin to feel the forces of nature hidden from us and use them correctly.

We could fly in any direction, at any speed. For what? To engage in an even greater unification of nature.

Question: In other words, can we say that everything, even what we have created, all these technical means: the Internet, airplanes, traffic, is precisely for us to…?

Answer: Only to make sure that this is not what we really need. So that we would throw all these toys away and take care of our internal states.

Question: What is the ideal inner state we should arrive at?

Answer: Communication without words.

Question: Is this when we sit, stay silent, and connected?

Answer: Yes, that is how we communicate. A song without words. There is such a connection, without words. This allows everyone to communicate on the same frequency, on the same level, where we all understand each other.

It is not difficult for us at the level of our thoughts, they freely hover and interconnect. We comprehend the general plan of nature, what we have come to, to merge and to mutually complement each other in everything. And then we begin to comprehend perfection. It happens because we are completely different, but we want to feel our unanimity in our union. That is it.

We implicitly strive for it, although, of course, selfishly, and wrongly. But nature leads us to this state in such a way that we realize the depravity of our original state and its realization, and as a result, come to the correct balance with each other.

Question: In Erich Maria Remarque’s in The Arc de Triomphe the character Dr. Ravic is a stateless refugee in Paris in the unstable period between World Wars I and II. He is a skilled, but unlicensed surgeon who “ghost operates” on patients on behalf of lesser-skilled French surgeons.

He was stripped him of his German citizenship and unable to exist legally anywhere else in western Europe; Ravic manages to hang on. He is one of many displaced refugees, stateless people without passports or documents who live under constant threat of being captured and deported from one country to the next.

In the novel it is written that he lived, and that was enough. The era was unstable, so why try to build something if everything will inevitably collapse soon? He was portrayed as thinking it is better to go with the flow without wasting your strength since strength is the only thing that cannot be restored. Holding on was what was important, and the less strength you spend, the better. It is better to keep them in reserve.

Do you think it is right in difficult times, to lay low and not to waste your strength, and just hold on? Even if it is projected to our time. We have a similar time, you might say. How does one survive in this time which is rather vague?

Answer: Our time is not what it was then. I do not think it is that vague. Nowadays we are not in a state where we can declare something and it will affect something. Here such forces are involved in the battle among themselves that, no matter what you squeak, no one will take it into account.

Question: Then tell me, how do we live in such a time?

Answer: Exist. Today everything is so captured by all kinds of bodies in all countries—in all of them!—that all your attempts are futile.

Question: Is this how one should live? How?

Answer: No, I have my own line. I believe that a person should be educated on the topic of who governs the world, how the world is governed, and how to enter this upper governance and act through it. But this is not politics or journalism, nothing like that.

I think that this is the way we can seriously affect the world.

Question: So do you think that is why this time has come, so that we have such opportunities?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is there such a thing as courage in order to come to this?

Answer: There is a different kind of courage here; it is in the fact that you have to confront your inner doubts, attitudes, and so on. That is the main thing.

Question: And the doubts are mainly: What kind of force is this? Does it exist at all?

Answer: Yes. We need to work to reveal it and to use it to move the world.

Question: Is this task peculiar to a strong person? Or can it become the task of any person to live like this and search?

Answer: I think that a person should feel a response in his heart. And then he will have the strength.

Question: So is the strength also given to him from above?

Answer: It will be given to him. He just needs to make a small effort. It is the same right to go through the years with the same goal, to despair and still get up and go.

Question: Can one person do this? Can he tune himself like this, all on his own?

Answer: I don’t know. Everyone is called Adam.

Question: From the word “similar to the Creator”? Is it about everyone?

Answer: About everyone, of course.

Question: What is your main advice nowadays?

Answer: Be human!

Question: Be Adam?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: There is a parable about an eastern ruler who wanted to know the whole history of mankind. A sage brought him five hundred volumes. The ruler responded, “Who can read this? Put it in a concise form.”

Twenty years later, the sage returned with fifty volumes. But the king was already old, so he sent him away again.

Another twenty years passed. And the aged, gray-haired sage brought the ruler a single volume containing all the wisdom of the world. The ruler was on his deathbed and did not have time to read even one book. Then the sage told him the history of mankind in one line: “A person is born, suffers, and dies.”

Is this the history of humanity?

My Response: That is five hundred volumes, yes.

Question: Can you imagine?! All this wisdom and history, so much has been stated, and as a result we bring one line: “A person is born, suffers and dies.” Is this our world?

Answer: Of course. And we are spinning in it in order to add more and more volumes, volumes, volumes.

Question: The question is: Why be born?

Answer: Why be born? In principle, this is incomprehensible to a person. Therefore, he sees neither the beginning nor the end. He sees himself only on the animal level: the birth of an animal body, the suffering of an animal body, some pleasures of an animal body, and the death of an animal body. Nothing else.

Comment: We can’t get off the ground, so to say.

My Response: If we can’t go higher, we don’t understand the meaning.

Question: So if we cannot rise higher, then the whole history of humanity is: a person is born, suffers, and dies. And if we can rise or want to rise higher, then what becomes the history of humanity?

Answer: Then it is necessary to detach from the animal body, to rise above it, and not to live by its desires, aspirations, and so on. Then you will begin to feel what your spiritual body requires of you.

Question: What does this formula turn into? It turns out that what is born is when I rise above egoism? It is born, and then suffers, then what does it turn into?

Answer: One separates oneself from egoism, rises above it, and begins to feel nature in a different form, in bestowal, in love, and in connection and reciprocity. Not in receiving, as in the animal body, but in bestowal, as in the spiritual body.

Question: And then what does suffering turn into?

Answer: Into pleasure.

Question: So you said: “Enjoys and lives forever.” Is this the formula of real humanity?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: It is very bitter to me that our earthly formula is “born, suffers and dies.”

My Response: And without it there would be no other. We would not be able to achieve eternal form through our own efforts, our own capabilities.

Question: So there should be such an initial formula so that we attain it and want to get out of it?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: It’s been going on for millennia. Millennia, millennia, millennia.

My Response: So what?

Comment: We are writing volumes of history!

My Response: These are souls! And what is there in this history and volumes?! All this is nothing!

Question: So a person must be born to live forever, right?

Answer: Of course. I think we are already coming to this gradually.

My optimism comes from the absolute pessimism of our world. I think humanity will shake itself up, That we will not agree to live for this life.

In the News (Snopes.com): “A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. …

“In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition. …

“This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of an social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?

“One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?”

I compared it to that great violinist.

My Response: I don’t believe it can happen by itself. Only if the Creator, of course, changes some initial conditions and initial data in people could this happen.

Question: Then people could stop and suddenly hear?

Answer: Yes. But otherwise, no.

Question: And so they run and pay a lot of money to discover how to become happy and how to become successful.

Answer: People have a need for this, but not in the approach that Kabbalah requires.

Question: Why can’t we adjust the music to people like that?

Answer: We can’t set this up. This requires turning yourself off and turning on completely different sensors, different senses.

Question: Victoria writes: “So often I want to forget everything that has happened. So many days, so many years have been wasted, so many mistakes have been made. But no matter how hard I try, I cannot forget. My memory again and again emits pictures of the past that cannot be erased.

Tell me, why are we given memory? If only it were given to learn, to memorize something necessary. But no, it often breaks the heart. So, what is it given for?”

Answer: I think that this occurs in you because you are very eager for the future, and therefore, for some reason, you feel sorry for the past, that you did not have time for something. Do not worry. One should always think that every moment that has passed is made by the Creator, and it all depended on Him alone. Therefore, in no case should we worry about the past, the future, or anything, but only the given moment.

Question: So, you can say thank you for what happened, whatever it was, right?

Answer: For everything that has been, for everything that is, and for everything that will be. But the most important thing is to live now. Only in the present. In Kabbalah, there seems to be no past or future tense, only the present.

Question: Do you ever regret anything in the past? Does your memory ever cut out something that makes you suddenly shiver?

Answer: It is all gone.

Question: Do I live in the compartment of today?

Answer: Not even in a day, but the moment.

Comment: Now we are talking with you, this is this life. And everything that has been and everything that will be is not a concern anymore.

My Response: All this does not depend on us in any way.

Comment: Teach me to live like this. I can say that, but if I am tested in a second, I will be a rag.

My Response: No, I am clearly not worried about the past. Although, if you count how much time I have wasted and for what, then of course it is…

Comment: Heaps.

My Response: But that is how it should be. Agree with the fact that the Creator does everything, and that is for sure for the past! And you fully support Him, trust Him, and accept Him.

Question: But how about the future? Everyone dreams of something about the future, everyone hopes for something that will happen in the future. It cannot be taken away from a person.

Answer: If you are thinking about the future, then, you are taking it away from the Creator. This is also forbidden.

Question: Is this also His prerogative?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So, if I define this formula for myself, what is it?

Answer: At the moment I am connected with the Creator, merge with Him, cling to Him and I do not want anything else. That is how a child sticks to its mother, and that is what he wants. This is it, nothing more! That is how we should be.

Question: So the basis of this formula is to stick to the Creator?

Answer: Yes.

Question: His past, His future. And yet this is my present, is it mine? Do I exist here after all?

Answer: I do. In the present, that is me. And only I determine, so to say, that I want to be with the Creator, to hold on to Him.

Question: Right now?

Answer: Yes.

Question: I see. Then will all the sorrows go away?

Answer: There is nothing else. Nothing.
