There have only been about a half dozen genuinely important events in the four-billion-year saga of life on Earth: single-celled life, multi-celled life, the differentiation into plants and animals, the movement of animals from water to land, and the advent of mammals and consciousness.

The next big step should be the idea of interplanetary life—an unprecedented journey that will dramatically change and enrich us (Elon Musk).

My Response: I absolutely disagree with this. What will it give us?! Why should the previous stages of development lead us to this last one? Will we fly from star to star? Moreover, we are in such an energetic and physical condition that these flights will cost us hundreds of years! Why do we need to fly? From one meadow to another?

Question: He considers interplanetary development to be the next big step. What do you think is the next big step?

Answer: The next big step will be to reveal the meaning of life. Why did it ever appear out of nothing, and why did the steps he spoke about then begin to develop from it?

Question: Does the person then come to the question “What am I living for?”

Answer: Yes. The further we develop, the more we want to know about our root, about our source. This is what interests us. This is the search for the meaning of life, because everything is encompassed in our root.

Today when we do something, we develop the forces and the data that are in our source.

In the News (ZME SCIENCE): “‘Scientists say the human brain resembles the cosmos’

“Both neural and galactic networks have the same structure, pointing to a fractal universe.

“Side by side pictures of brain cells and a cosmic web of galaxies make it difficult to tell the two apart. So it can seem that the universe is like one giant brain or vice-versa, there’s a tiny universe in each of our brains. That’s not merely some entertaining thought. In a new study, an astrophysicist and a neurosurgeon have documented the striking similarities between cosmic networks of galaxies and neural networks of brain cells.”

Question: Can we say that when we freeze looking at the sky full of stars, there is some kind of breathing and some kind of connection?

Answer: Of course. I would say that the sky is a very beautiful demonstration of our inner qualities.

Question: Does it mean that the sky is what exists in us?

Answer: Of course. Where can you see all this from? You see yourself!

Question: Am I seeing myself? Then why do I freeze in delight? Almost everyone sees this sky and freezes. What is there to cause this delight?

Answer: You are shown a little bit of what is inside of you in a mechanistic way like this. In fact, you see yourself from within. This amazes you a little, delights you, and touches you.

Question: What is the most important thing I need to see inside myself?

Answer: That there is an infinite possibility in you, an infinite number of all possible qualities. You have to start connecting them all together somehow and you will receive the Creator. We need to look at the starry sky more often.

Some people do not like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster (Elon Musk).

My Response: Naturally, either change or a disaster, this is when we will do something.

Question: So should I have a feeling that if I do not change, there will be a catastrophe?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What kind of disaster are we facing that requires me to change myself?

Answer: I do not think a disaster is in front of people and I do not think they really have to change right now. We live in a state where there is nothing catastrophic. This is a state that does not call for me to change.

Question: Is it possible to artificially create such a feeling in humanity that it is moving toward a disaster so it will begin to change?

Answer: It is thanks to the leaders of this world that we are moving.

Question: So, do they in some sense do this kind of work as well?

Answer: Of course, they do. They are the angels of God. They are directing us to the cliff so that we will finally understand that we need to change. But they themselves are doing God’s work. They are representatives of the Creator on earth.

Question: Does the Creator have to lead us to this cliff?

Answer: Yes, so that we fulfill our purpose. And they help Him in this.

Question: What is our purpose?

Answer: Recognition of the evil of human nature. You will see that it is absolutely opposite to the Creator, and you will wish to be as close to Him as possible. Then you will begin to develop spiritually and ascend.

Question: We are, in principle, aware that nature is harmonious. Even at school, we study all kinds of food chains and we see how one is connected to the other. The science of bionics was based on this where I look and seemingly copy what I see in nature.

For example, helicopters were probably created because dragonflies were seen. They saw birds and planes were created; they saw beetles and cars were created.

Why does it all come down to cars turning into tanks and all our scientific achievements, one way or another, go toward armament?

Answer: Because in order to take examples from nature and create them, we need naturalists and scientists who are interested to recreate what is in nature into mechanics.

But then other people come who do not care about nature, and they want to use these mechanics in order to conquer, control, and enforce. And this is the end of all good intentions.

Question: We take something positive from nature, build out of it what is necessary for our life, but all this, one way or another, is then taken away by bad uncles and made into weapons of war. Why?

Answer: Because that is our nature.

Question: Why are we giving it to them? Why do we agree?

Answer: Because they know how to cheat. They are in power, they have an army, strength, and money, they have everything. And such people that are naive and kind who just want to understand how the world works, they have nothing but their brains and weak hands.

Question: Is this the fate of our world? Fate is such that everything, one way or another, will go there?

Answer: Yes. Until we correct human nature.

Question: We started with the fact that nature is harmonious and everyone understands this. Why don’t we draw from the harmony of nature? We copy what it created and create something for ourselves. And why doesn’t something from that harmony enter into us from the basis of nature that is harmonious?

Answer: We cannot keep this harmony. We are not able to detect it, see it, and study it. We cannot imitate it.

Question: Because we are the opposite of it?

Answer: Yes.

Remark: But we get knowledge about it.

Answer: So what if I know that this is how nature works; I cannot abide by it.

Question: And how do we make this into the main thing? First take the harmony of nature, then all the technical inventions.

Answer: And for what? Why should I take some of the laws of nature and its opportunities in order to give to others, in order to spread good? Why do I need this?

Remark: I need to command and rule.

My Response: Oh! To do this, I will study everything, and my egoism will push me and give me all the opportunities.

Question: So this is our nature?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Then why do you always appeal to another nature?

Answer: I want to change a person!

Question: How? After all, that is our nature.

Answer: No, it is possible to change. And then we will really do everything according to nature—the kind, upper nature.

Question: Then we will go to this kind upper nature before we create something?

Answer: Of course. We will first correct ourselves, and only then we will take something from nature and imitate—truly imitate it.

Question: So it is not fantasy to turn your nature around and make it similar to nature?

Answer: Without it, we will not survive, and we will still be obliged to change ourselves.

Comment: You keep saying: “The world has become interconnected.” One way or another, everyone sees it.

My Response: This is to show us that we have nowhere to go.

Question: And this will happen more and more?

Answer: Yes! And you are not getting away! We will see that no wars, no skirmishes, no crimes of man to man will simply be possible to do.

At the same time, you will appear as an enemy of all mankind. You will not be forgiven anything. The world will shrink so much and you will understand that you are hurting everyone, that you will not give yourself this chance. And gradually, gradually, the good forces of nature will change humanity.

We will go through a stage where we will be afraid to break good relationships. This is the first stage.

Question: So, the first stage is the fear from breaking this connection between us?

Answer: Yes, the restriction, this is how it is called in Kabbalah. Restriction of egoism.

Comment: But it is just because of egoism that I am afraid, because of my nature I am afraid.

Answer: Yes, but there is no other way out; I have to restrict it or I will be beaten.

Question: So I cannot join the war because I will be beaten, restricted, I will starve, and so on?

Answer: Of course! It is based on all kinds of negative attitudes toward me. Only in this way!

Question: So, if you are fighting, you are being obstructed. Is that why you stop fighting?

Answer: Yes.

Remark: But you will feel defeated. It is scary.

Answer: No, it does not matter. That is how you will learn.

Question: There was a story on a Russian website that listed who betrayed whom and how, and how it ended up. There were literally two thousand comments in an hour, which shows that there is a feeling in humanity that betrayal is terrible.

An example was given of Jack London; he was macho, washed gold on rivers and so on. And he died of depression at the age of 39 after his friends betrayed him. Other examples are Edith Piaf and Russian singer Vladimir Vysotsky. Charles VII betrayed Joan of Arc. There were a lot of betrayals listed.

According to psychologists, by the age of 40, a person may have only one friend, and not always even that.

Victor Hugo wrote, “I am indifferent to the stabbing of the enemy, but I agonize by the pinprick of a friend.”

When teachers asked an audience: “Has anyone suffered betrayal?”—the whole audience raised their hands. They were students, practically children; what have they been through at all? But they already know what betrayal is.

Is there any way to protect yourself? Is it possible to distance yourself? Is it possible not to bear the terrible blow of betrayal at all?

Answer: The Creator presents us with such cases—novels, stories, and detective stories—that no one would ever come up with.

Comment: Now you have quietly transferred everything to the one who organizes it all.

My Response: This is because we need to get close to the source, after all. And the source of betrayal is not a person. It’s just a game played by the Creator. The Creator arranges all these experiences for us. And the coldest ones, which are called betrayal, are also Him.

Question: How do we protect ourselves?

Answer: There is no way! Only when you are sure that you are completely in His power can you attune yourself to the Creator. If you approach the Creator, study Him, want to be like Him, and want to be close to Him, then you cannot just protect yourself, but you begin to acquire the same qualities He has, and you are no longer afraid of such tests.

Question: Let’s say I experienced a terrible betrayal. I can barely stand it all; I’m just burning all over, and you say, at this moment or a little later when my anger diminishes a bit, I need to direct everything to the thought of where it came from, and not to the one who betrayed me?

Answer: To the Creator! What does the little man have to do with it?! He’s a doll. And the puppeteer is the Creator.

Question: So I have to start a conversation and work with the Creator? And let go of this man who allegedly betrayed me? Are you saying he didn’t betray me?

Answer: You can’t demand anything from him! He’s a doll! That’s all. And so you feel calm. You don’t see any traitors or devotees around you, nothing and no one. You see dolls. And the Creator from above plays with all of them on a thread and that’s it.

Question: You say that when we hate someone, we should instead start to change ourselves and change our attitude toward the Creator. And that’s it?! Is this all our work?!

Answer: That is all. But this is the hardest part.

Question: Meaning, if I can control myself in such a way that I direct all my efforts to work with the Creator and only with Him, then everything will begin?

Answer: Then you need to rebuild in general what is truth, lies, loyalty, and betrayal.

Question: All concepts! All concepts disappear. Now you have taken and practically removed the concept of “betrayal.” It turns out that, from the other side, it is not there. Do you mean that I can’t blame anyone?

Answer: No. Not love, nor hate, nor devotion, nor loyalty; there is none of this.

Question: Should I direct the vector at myself and that’s it?

Answer: Yes. But it is beautiful and true, it is pure!

Question: Then will it be a pure experiment?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But then I hate Him! At the moment of my hatred for the traitor, you say: “The Creator does it; He exposes it.” That is my first feeling: “I hate the Creator!” Is that true?

Answer: Certainly! Naturally! There is no question about it! If you hate anyone at all, it is the Creator. You always really have a relationship with Him!

Question: And how does my hatred of the Creator change?

Answer: We do everything only with the Creator. We are attuned only to Him. And everything that seems to us that we are in some kind of good or evil relationship with each other is all pure lies!

Question: Why does the Creator do this to us?

Answer: So that we can put this whole world aside and deal with Him alone. But in order to do this, we must be pure, either absolute egoists or absolute altruists. He doesn’t tolerate anything else. Another thing is that all this is already called slag, or dirt. Therefore we need to tune in only to the Creator and deal only with Him.

Question: How does this state of my complaints, hatred, and prayers to the Creator such as, for example, “Leave me alone!”—how does this go into another state, a state of love?

Answer: It turns into prayer; that I want to see His actions behind everything that surrounds me, both within myself and all around me, that there is none else but Him!

Question: Is this the main prayer?

Answer: Yes. For Him to reveal this to me.

Question: Is this the main change in a person? And does it change everything, the whole world, everything?

Answer: It changes everything. It turns everything upside down! It turns my head! Because I always thought somehow that you were connected to something else, dependent on someone, and doing something else. In fact, no one does anything!

Question: Our time is filled with disinformation and lies. It is said that disinformation arises in conditions of political disillusionment, economic crisis, or social turmoil. Today all these factors are evident. In addition there is the Internet where lies can be manipulated. There are companies that can promote it and shape public opinion.

There is a feeling that we live inside misinformation and lies only. Is this feeling correct?

Answer: Yes. But it is controlled by the Creator.

Question: Not by these scribblers?

Answer: The Creator controls the hands and minds of people. He placed us inside a complete disinformation and called it “this world.” Therefore, do not take people seriously.

Let all these scribblers write. Humanity must exist somehow. Therefore the Creator invented all sorts of positions.

Question: Should we at least try to distinguish disinformation and lies from veracity, from truth? Do we need to search for them at all?

Answer: They do not exist, neither one nor the other.

Question: Then the question is: Why did He do it?

Answer: In order for us to get tired of this state so much that we would just want to get out of it by all possible means. This is all.

Question: A parable of Baal HaSulam speaks about a worm inside a worm-eaten apple that thinks: “This is my world.”

Suddenly he gets out and says: “It turns out there is another world!” Is this us who are inside this apple? How can we get out? How can we see the real world?

Answer: It is impossible for a simple person (“simple” meaning ordinary). It is impossible, only out of billions of people.

However there are individual souls who have already matured out of billions of souls, and they are able to hear the call, and like this worm to move toward the exit from the worm-eaten apple.

Question: When he moves to the exit of the worm-eaten apple, does he pave the way for other worms?

Answer: This is none of his business. He does not even know that he is going, how he is going, or where he is going.

Question: Is it unknown where I am going and how I am going?

Answer: Why do you need to know that? What for?

Comment: Toward the light. As they usually say.

My Response: Toward what light?! You would not go toward the light.

Comment: I am used to existing inside this apple.

My Response: In a place where it is dark and dry, this is where you need to be. The rotting apple is sweet.

Question: Does it mean that the desire to get out is given to a person from above? Is he not doing it all by himself? Not through his own efforts?

Answer: No. How could a person do this? Even later when he already understands how he is being controlled, he sees that absolutely none of it is performed by him.

Question: Everything we are doing inside the worm-eaten apple—all our actions, all our economic programs, our wars, the construction of all sorts of new worlds and formations throughout all these centuries and all these years—is this all inside a rotten apple?

Answer: This is in order to accumulate within us a sufficient rotting layer so that later we can still eat it when we leave the “apple.” In short, we will get out and see.

This is when we find out that while being in this “wormy apple,” we surely cannot be guided by other principles, but only by the nature that is within us. That is, we are guided by little egoism, small pleasures, and we continue to grow in this until we create this compost around us.

Question: So I create it all and then does it not even depend on me that I reached out at least a little to get out, that I have already eaten enough of it all and would like to get out of there? After all, there is another world besides this apple.

Answer: The Creator does it if He wishes. He will direct you a little.

Question: Is there some kind of request coming from me to the Creator to direct me? Does He respond to this request when it really matures?

Answer: If this is a true request in a group with other “worms,” then yes.

Question: Is the most important thing to really come to this? Is that why He keeps us in this can?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Why is there so much misinformation about the Creator?

Answer: There are two things: first because He controls everything and everyone. and second because we do not know anything about who He is, what He is, and what He does. Therefore you can do whatever you want indefinitely. And everyone from the point of view of their level of information, from their point in the heart, will be saying anything they want to you.

Question: So I, as an ordinary person, will be choosing. According to what do I choose this or that path to the Creator?

Answer: According to what is more pleasant for your egoism. So that “the worm” would profit.

This helps us go through all the states relatively quickly and to begin to distinguish the state in which there is something new, fresh, and completely unexpected for us, the state that we can select from among all other states to make a new level of existence out of, to approach the exit from this rot.

Question: Does it mean that there still is some hope?

Answer: Not hope, but an absolutely accurate future. If I adhere to this, then here it is already in front of us.

Comment: Ar (this is how he abbreviates his name) writes to you : “I constantly listen to your videos. Tell me please, why do you always say that only Jews will change the world? Why take such a big responsibility on yourself and on the nation? Who gave you such authority at all? Do not tell me it is written in the Bible. Answer my question, teacher.”

It looks like he is a beginner student with us and does not understand why only Jews are entrusted with such responsibility.

My Response: It is because the method of correcting the world, which is called “Kabbalah,” is found precisely among the Jews, and it was given to them thousands of years ago.

Comment: But by singling out our people, we are causing a lot of resistance.

My Response: I understand this, but it is better when you understand that this is the truth and that you are hated for it. According to this truth, you must reveal to the world the method of correction, and that is why humanity hates you.

That is, I accept this challenge and say: “Yes, you are right; the problem is with us; we are to blame. But killing me will not make it any easier for you. It’s better to listen and think how we can really use this eternal truth.”

Comment: But it looks like there is not much proof of this.

My Response: There will be a proof if we fulfill what is indicated.

Comment: So you are saying, so far let’s say, it is just words. For many people it is words.

My Response: Of course. But on the other hand they can say: “So this is why we really hate them! It means that we hate them correctly.”

Question: What if a person doesn’t find hatred in himself? Great numbers of people do not find hatred for Jews in themselves. We are kind of incessantly telling them: “You hate Jews! They hate us!” But they do not find it.

Answer: Then come to all of us; we will do it together! Let’s correct the world together.

Comment: In short, it is a vicious circle. There are a large number of comments on your videos all the time. And they are all exactly in the direction of the chosen people: “What are you saying about yourself? Who gave you the right? Why are you so sure about this?”

My Response: They say it themselves! After all, all of humanity still has some special opinions, attitudes, suspicions, demands, and so on regarding the Jews. I just want to show this matter normally and reveal what the problem is. This problem is thousands of years old. Enough of somehow obscuring it or refusing it!

Question: What should be the actions of a person who is not a Jew? And who wants to hear you?

Answer: A person just needs to hear what I am saying.

Question: Do you assign any specific actions to a Jew?

Answer: Yes. A Jew has to find out why he is special. Then, in accordance with this, to reveal this peculiarity to all the nations of the world. And together with them, with all the nations of the world, to get down to changing humanity, nature, and everything that exists.

Question: From what to what?

Answer: From the absolute egoism of humanity to make the opposite action—a connection. This is exactly the responsibility of the Jews. All the nations of the world need to listen to what the Jews say; maybe they really are saying something sensible. This may be our salvation.

Comment: But only some Jews say this. Most Jews do not say what you say at all.

My Response: They do not know and do not understand, just like the nations of the world, that they have the responsibility to come to connection themselves and bring the world to it.

People will hear it anyway.

Question: What hope do you have? You repeat this all the time.

Answer: My hope is based on the fact that the world will not end just like that and will not enter some other state. In the end, it will force all the nations of the world, including Jews, to think about what the correction of the world is, what we really need to do and what we, and first of all the Jews, need to come to.

This is not easy. But time goes on.

In the News (“Flawed AI Makes Robots Racist, Sexist”): “A robot operating with a popular internet-based artificial intelligence system consistently gravitates to men over women, white people over people of color, and jumps to conclusions about peoples’ jobs after a glance at their face.

“The work, led by Johns Hopkins University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and University of Washington researchers, is believed to be the first to show that robots loaded with an accepted and widely used model operate with significant gender and racial biases. …

“‘The robot has learned toxic stereotypes through these flawed neural network models,’ said author Andrew Hundt, a postdoctoral fellow at Georgia Tech who co-conducted the work as a Ph.D. student working in Johns Hopkins’ Computational Interaction and Robotics Laboratory. ‘We’re at risk of creating a generation of racist and sexist robots, but people and organizations have decided it’s OK to create these products without addressing the issues.’

“Those building artificial intelligence models to recognize humans and objects often turn to vast datasets available for free on the internet. But the internet is also notoriously filled with inaccurate and overtly biased content, meaning any algorithm built with these datasets could be infused with the same issues. Joy Buolamwini, Timinit Gebru, and Abeba Birhane demonstrated race and gender gaps in facial recognition products, as well as in a neural network that compares images to captions called CLIP.

“Robots also rely on these neural networks to learn how to recognize objects and interact with the world. Concerned about what such biases could mean for autonomous machines that make physical decisions without human guidance, Hundt’s team decided to test a publicly downloadable artificial intelligence model for robots that was built with the CLIP neural network as a way to help the machine ‘see’ and identify objects by name.

“The robot was tasked to put objects in a box. Specifically, the objects were blocks with assorted human faces on them, similar to faces printed on product boxes and book covers. …

“Key findings:

• The robot selected males 8% more.
• White and Asian men were picked the most.
• Black women were picked the least.
• Once the robot ‘sees’ people’s faces, the robot tends to: identify women as a ‘homemaker’ over white men; identify Black men as ‘criminals’ 10% more than white men; identify Latino men as ‘janitors’ 10% more than white men.
• Women of all ethnicities were less likely to be picked than men when the robot searched for the ‘doctor.'”

Question: What do you think about this experience? It upset the scientists.

Answer: What do scientists understand? And the robot is smart. It saw what lies at the heart of humanity. Every nation has its own internal direction. And that is why the robot said it correctly.

Comment: But that is not good…

My Response: You cannot do anything. You can fix it only over a long period of time.

Question: So you think that this is inherent in a person and that is why the robot recognized this?

Answer: Yes. There are, of course, exceptions. There may be many of them, but they are still exceptions.

Question: How can this situation be corrected?

Answer: Why should it be corrected?

Comment: I would like to be judged not by what color I am or by the shape of my nose, but by what I am.

Answer: To do this, you need to correct people! And then, even your nose won’t bother you.

Question: And what will corrected people feel when looking at me and at my nose?

Answer: They will not see your color, gender, or nose. They will see you as some kind of expert to whom they turn. You can be a musician or a surgeon, no matter who or what.

Question: So, one way or another, a person’s perception is unambiguous in our world. Is it external, in general?

Answer: Surely external. And most importantly, it is necessary to catch in a person how well he treats people. This is important! That is, he does not care about color, gender, or anything. To what extent he feels the right attitude towards people in you.

Question: Not even what kind of specialist I am, but what my attitude is toward people?

Answer: Yes. This is how we should perceive people. But for this, we must train ourselves.

Question: So you should value relationships with people more than anything else?

Answer: Yes, then I will see it in a person.

Question: What conclusions should scientists really draw after seeing this? What should be their main, correct conclusions?

Answer: Education. Just that. So that there are no differences.

Question: A 1.4 magnitude earthquake that occurred recently in Berlin during a performance by a British rock band. There is speculation that the people jumping and dancing at the concert caused the earthquake.

Can people jumping, dancing, and clapping cause earthquakes?

Answer: Of course not. But if we all want it at the same time, then maybe we will cause it.

Question: Without even jumping?

Answer: Without even jumping. And what does jumping have to do with it? If even seven or eight billion people jumped on the surface of the Earth now, nothing would happen.

But if in our desire to connect, we just sit and think together that our globe will help us a little and support us somehow, then it will work. If we want to, our thoughts can definitely do it. Common thoughts can stop an earthquake. There is nothing stronger than people’s thoughts if they think together.

Question: Does this require all of humanity to think about it?

Answer: At least some part of it, a serious part.

Question: Suppose there is an earthquake somewhere (many already occur). It happens spontaneously; no one knows how to stop it. You say that thought is the most powerful thing in the world. If we start thinking how to stop this earthquake and we all think about it, will it stop?

Answer: I am sure the answer is yes.

Question: So what are we dealing with?

Answer: We are dealing with the forces of nature. If we launch a force against the one that is currently acting, but one level higher (one level higher is still a person, a person’s mind, a person’s desire, etc.) and if people unite mentally and remove their egoism—the main thing is to be together and to unite in internal common movement in order to save the planet—then naturally it will have an effect.

Question: And earthquakes stop?

Answer: Please, let’s check.

Comment: To check this would require a general agreement.

My Response: So why do we have the UN, UNESCO, and other organizations?

Comment: Everything would exist precisely for this purpose, in order to unite humanity in thoughts about something.

My Response: With this method we could balance absolutely everything.

Comment: You say that all means of communication and all these organizations were created only for one thing: to unite humanity and direct it to some problem in order to eliminate it.

My Response: Yes. And as a result, while we never expected, never thought, and never could guess, we will discover a special meaning in connection. And it is thanks to our egoistic revelations.

Question: That is, egoistically I need to stop the earthquake. And is this a discovery?

Answer: Yes.

Question: You say that we think about it together and it stops. And is it the same with all the problems of the world? Including wars?

Answer: Absolutely everything. Of course.

Comment: It is an invisible power. They don’t see it.

My Response: But all the forces, the most special and the highest—they are invisible.

Comment: One should somehow believe in it. That’s the whole point.

My Response: We must not believe, but rather proceed toward it, and by gradually organizing ourselves and coming closer to making an impact on such a force, we will find that it really exists, and that connection works.

Comment: Psychologists say that aggression is a part of a person that one cannot get rid of.

My Response: Yes. There is no way.

Comment: They say that its origins are in the animalistic past of humans.

My Response: In egoism.

Question: Psychologists say that aggression comes from the desire of living beings, animals, and humans to survive. Does it mean that aggression appears when there is hunger, fear, or war?

Answer: It generally appears every moment in life. This is the basis of a human being. Every moment of my life I have to overcome something.

Question: Can aggression be directed toward peaceful purposes? Everyone understands about non-peaceful purposes. What about peaceful purposes?

Answer: Toward peaceful purposes means against myself.

Question: So is aggression currently directed from myself outward? Are you saying that this vector needs to be turned on myself?

Answer: Slowly, little by little, I somehow have to turn it on myself.

Question: Does it mean that aggression exists so that I can slowly turn it on myself?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Against what am I directing aggression within myself? What should I attack in myself?

Answer: The fact that I would like to attack others is inherent in me.

But if I want to turn it against myself, then this is a real fight with myself, a fight within which the quality of bestowal, the quality of connection with others, is built.

Question: So does it mean that I am attacking this very “I” of mine? My “I” that affirms itself?

Answer: Your “I” is hatred of others, the desire to dominate others. If you change it to the opposite desire, if you realize that it is impossible to remain in such a quality, then you receive instead the quality of bestowal and love, a spiritual quality.

Question: So, is aggression toward myself good? From bad—aggression toward others—it turns into aggression toward myself, and this is good. Is this why it exists?

Answer: Yes. Then you really start treating yourself as an enemy. And this is good.

Comment: Humanity should try very hard.

My Response: It will be trying hard; it will have no choice. There will be such suffering that people will want this.

Question: Only enemies are around for humanity. Everyone feels that only enemies are around. But you say that the enemies are inside you. This formula is clear to me. But can it enter into the mind and into the heart of a person?

Answer: If you understand this, others will understand it too.
