When I thought I had already reached the bottom, they knocked from there (Stanislaw Jerzy Lec). 

Question: What is being said here?

Answer: A person thinks, “That’s it! What could be worse?” But in fact there is an even lower floor, and keep in mind that you have your place reserved for you there. If you continue to behave as you are now, and reach the bottom, you will find that it is not the bottom. There is one lower and one even lower than that, and indeed, there is really no limit to this.

Question: What thought do I need to be attached to in order to not reach the bottom?

Answer: Do not even try to get close to it; in no case do not agree with the bottom. You really need to somehow cling with your teeth to the place where you are and try to climb up.

Question: All the time, from the bottom up?

Answer: From the bottom up.

Question: Should I know what the bottom is?

Answer: Actually, this is an abyss; there is really no bottom. There are seven levels of hell and more. It is all so much more.

Question: What does hell mean? Is this the real bottom?

Answer: It is a burning awareness of one’s own egoism, meanness, laziness, and so on. This is the bottom.

Question: If such a terrible bottom has been revealed, such a hell, as you say, what should a person do?

Answer: He has a very good way out. He feels that it is in this state that he can cling to the Creator, otherwise not.

Question: One way or another, do you need to feel the bottom in order to cling to the Creator?

Answer: Moreover, it is such a true, true bottom when there is nothing else, only this depth, only this abyss, and from it there is only one way out: to the Creator. It is very good. This is how everything is arranged; indeed, it is arranged with amazing love.

Question: So I reach hell in practice—this burning internal combustion—and all this is from some higher love?!

Answer: Yes. And in this you begin to feel the true love of the Creator toward yourself. And you feel how your own contempt, powerlessness, cowardice, and so on burns you.

Question: Does everyone have to reach this point?

Answer: Each in his own measure. But this is not something supernatural. This is all the awareness of one’s own nature.

Question: People of the world of the twentieth century, the world of the past, lived based on the idea that every person can find some rational occupation and that every country needs to be developed and to produce something useful.

Then in various countries—in Syria, Libya, Iraq, and Venezuela—young majors and colonels, presidents, and fathers of the nation came to power. They built factories and roads, trained people to become engineers and doctors, created tank brigades, and tried to reach the American and German standard, and even the Soviet standard.

What happened? How did it suddenly turn out that entertaining is more profitable than producing something, that speculating in numbers is more profitable than trading goods, and that managing chaos is more profitable than managing teams? The old world went into a decline, and the leaders stopped being fathers.

How did this happen to us?

Answer: People have discovered that they do not need it all, not progress or anything else. All people need are bread and circuses.

Question: Are we so primitive?

Answer: This is our nature! This is not what is called primitivism. Primitivism is a high art.

Comment: But we are the supreme creation of nature, as they said in our youth.

My Response: In your youth you were taught that you are the supreme creation of nature. But in fact they just did not want to tell you. If you, as a prudent and wise person, want to live your life rationally, then choose a quiet job, a quiet environment, and a favorite hobby.

Comment: So at first humanity wanted something and the leaders wanted to be the fathers of the nation, to be the fathers of their people.

My Response: They just wanted to be in charge. There was nothing else in them. They were driven by nothing else except the desire to egoistically show themselves, whether for the better or for the worse, to be talked about, to have power and fame.

Question: Why did this disappear?

Answer: First, our egoism is changing. And second, they found out that nothing good comes from this, and that all of humanity is ungrateful. No matter how much you try to get it to do something, it does not want anything!

Question: Where is everything going now?

Answer: Today none of the leaders care that his country, his people, would be higher, better, cleaner, or special.

Comment: That they would live well, would live better.

My Response: His children, yes. But just his children.

Question: Have we become petty, smaller?

My Response: Egoism has become greater. Therefore it demands more from us and we, of course, cannot object to it in any way.

Question: Are you saying that there will never come a time when there will be care for people? Even an ostentatious concern, no matter what, even talked about?

Answer: No, you no longer can buy people with that. You can climb on any podium and scream. They will move past you and go on. This is it; the world has already been through all this.

Question: Then the main question is: where are we going? To which leaders? Can a sage become a leader today?

Answer: No, no one. Which sage? Who would listen to him? A sage is made by the audience, who points at him and says: “This is a sage! Look!”

Question: Do you think that it is people who choose the leader?

Answer: Of course!

Question: Can they choose a leader today like in the past?

Answer: No. It is all gone.

Question: We do not even want to choose a leader who would take care of us, right?

Answer: No. First of all, I do not believe anyone, I do not trust anyone. If I choose someone today, then tomorrow I will reject him. It turns out that there are no leaders and there are no sages; we are left lost, confused, small, and selfish. And we do not need any of this.

But we also do not know what we need.

Question: What will happen?

Answer: I think that, as usual, a war will choose great people. I cannot imagine how it is possible to influence people. After all, no one listens. No one hears.

Question: What is the purpose of nature? What is the purpose of the Creator who put us in this position?

Answer: To develop the correct egoism in us, which would understand that it is actually purposeless. It is very necessary, but it is not aimed at the right goal. And to make it wonder how to redirect itself.

Question: Does our egoism need to feel this? Do we need to feel this?

Answer: Yes, but we do not have enough inner acuity of perception for this. Therefore we do not know. We go there, we go here…”Look, Black Friday! Let’s run to the store!”

Question: Are you saying that there should be some kind of pain?

Answer: Yes. A storm! A very serious storm.

Question: So, are you expecting a storm and there cannot be any other way?

Answer: No. This storm does not have to be physical. It can be internal, inside people, but it should happen. It has to swoop in just like that. It should take us by surprise.

Question: Could it be a stark void or something else?

Answer: A person falls under its influence and begins to change.

He will finally want purpose—the real one. Not in shopping, not in recreation, not in anything. He will want purpose because he will understand that this is what can fill him, stop him, direct him, and give him meaning.

Comment: Greta Thunberg scolds world leaders for their years of empty chatter and climate inaction. She criticizes England, the USA, and China for manipulating statistics, and gives many examples, especially about England. England calls itself a world leader in the field of climate, and they have, as she says, power plants that are one of the largest sources of carbon dioxide emissions.

My Response: Yes, they run everything on coal. It’s a tradition.

Question: She “put them all in the naughty corner.” It feels like we no longer listen to scientists, we don’t trust them, and this girl is being published everywhere; she is being listened to; she is on a pedestal. Is this how our time is?

Answer: Our time is the most corrupt and the dirtiest. They took this girl, made whoever they required out of her, and let her out on a short leash.

Question: Do you think there are some forces behind her? The media don’t know what to do.

Answer: Yes, who would have heard her otherwise? They look at a person with one eye and understand where he can be more suitable to earn a rating. Do you really think that a child jumps out on stage by him or herself? Who allows it? Who gives the radio time, screen time, TV time, etc.?

Question: Why is this being done?

Answer: Firstly, the world needs such noise. It is a distraction. Secondly, there are big forces behind all this, forces which benefit from it.

Question: Which heroes would you bring out today? What kind of heroes does today’s time need?

Answer: It must be some very serious organization, a gathering of scientists, politicians, and economists who all sit together and seriously discuss what we can do. But first we need a very serious report, that is, research.

Question: Do we have to reach the depth of the problem of what is happening?

Answer: We understand the depth of the problem.

Question: It’s clear to you. Nobody talks about it much. Will humanity have to come to the depth of the problem?

Answer: We won’t be able to do anything. Everyone pulls in their own direction toward where they can make more money.

Question: So, to my question: “Who should I bring out to be heard?” is the answer: “The one who leads to the depth of the problem”?

Answer: If they seriously tackled this issue, they would come to the conclusion that nothing can be done and nothing is needed!

There is only one answer. We can bring the world to balance only if we ourselves enter into balance in our relations. And then we will simply find ourselves in a world in which everything will be enough and good for everyone.

This is not a fantasy or utopia; it’s just something that will happen involuntarily. If we make the balance in the world at the level of “man,” then all the lower levels—animal, vegetative, and inanimate—will also come into balance.

Comment: It’s like you’re addressing a person and saying that he needs to change for the sake of good connections. And a person can’t do that! He doesn’t want to!

My Response: He can’t. Then he will be brought down.

Comment: He needs an enemy.

My Response: He himself is the enemy!

Comment: You say to a person: “It’s all you! Because of you these ecological problems are happening.”

My Response: Yes.

Question: How do we get out of this story?

Answer: There is no way. Either we kill ourselves or we start changing ourselves. One or the other.

Only the correction of man can bring nature into balance. And it is possible to bring a person into balance only if we gradually create an atmosphere of love your neighbor between us.

Question: Should we all be exhausted in search of a way out? Do we need to be exhausted in order to come to what you say?

Answer: Then we would really want to hear the answer here. We would be able to hear it.

Never mind! That’s all right. The upper governance knows everything and can do anything, and it does everything anyway.

Question: There were so many different kinds of natural disasters last year. The year started with a wild cold spell in Spain. They did not expect it and were not ready for it. There were earthquakes; there were floods in Indonesia. A glacier came down in the Indian Himalayas and buried 170 people. There was a sandstorm in Beijing and flooding in Australia. In Western Europe, heavy rains washed away cars and flooded cities. Fires raged in California, Turkey, and Greece. An earthquake in Haiti killed 2,200 people died. On the Canary Island of Palma, a volcano erupted for three months. This has not happened for 500 years. Dozens of tornadoes swept across the United States. A typhoon hit the Philippines and left havoc in its wake.

This is a short list of what happened. Can you translate to us in human language what nature is saying to us?

Answer: Nature tells us: “It serves you right!” Really, how you treat nature—disturbing its balance in everything possible, at all levels, in all cases and possibilities—this is how nature reacts.

Imagine that you have a sick body, the whole Earth, the whole globe. And what will you do?

Question: So what do we do?

Answer: Do not interfere, do not disturb its relative peace. It is in homeostasis—very well, let it stay that way, don’t touch it!

Question: But one way or another, don’t we have to produce something, extract minerals?

Answer: It depends in what doses. It’s like the doctor says: “In moderation.” It’s the same here: you dig into the ground, you start picking at it, taking stuff out, digging it out, pulling it out, sucking it out. You have to understand that it all needs to be replenished at some point.

We are slowly getting old and dying. The same thing probably happens with the Earth.

Question: How do we enter this dialog? How do we behave with nature so that we have homeostasis with it?

Answer: We must understand that this is a living organism, an actual living organism. And if we impact it, we must do everything very carefully and cautiously.

And it is necessary to compensate and to understand that if it is one organism, it does not matter where you operate. If you do something somewhere in Australia, it will resonate in Canada or somewhere in South America. We are really responsible here for everything and for everyone.

We have nothing but this land! We can’t fly anywhere and do anything. And we just do whatever we want here today! And there is no reaction, no calculation, no thought for tomorrow!

Comment: Our current thought is to gain from this—to earn more, more, and more money.

My Response: But then we lose 20 times more. We must compensate for all this.

Comment: A person has a thought: “After me, even a flood.”

My Response: The whole problem is in our egoism. That’s clear.

Question: If possible, can you give one more recipe? What is a person’s work with this organism called Earth?

Answer: The Earth is a very wise organism. Its laws, which are still unknown to us, hide huge layers of wisdom that are our future. And that’s why we need to treat it very carefully and with respect.

Question: So are you saying that if this thought enters a person and lives in him, then he will have a completely different attitude and everything in general?

Answer: Yes, which means if you dig with a shovel, you must explain why, for what, how, and how you will compensate for it. It’s as if you borrow from the Earth its matter, its energy, and its power that it will have to invest in what you, for example, plant in it.

Question: So even for such a small intervention, I have to make a huge calculation before I do it?

Answer: Yes. It’s an attitude, but it will save us. Otherwise the Earth, as it is said, “will spew you out.”

Comment: Yes, it will spew us out. It seems that the hints have already become very clear and are knocking on our door.

My Response: Yes. There is a beginning.

Comment: Let’s hope that we will understand.

My Response: No, there will be no hope here. Until a person corrects his egoism, he will inevitably harm nature and the planet he lives on. And it will be bad.

Question: Filmmakers are using technologies firms in many companies are developing to synthetically create dialog and visuals in their productions. 

The reality is that in a year or two such technologies that completely copy, not just the visual appearance of a person, but also his voice, that can place anyone in any situation, will be available to everyone. The Internet will be filled with material in which I could see myself in places where I have never been. The frameworks a person can rely on are disappearing and the boundaries of reality are being blurred.

What awaits us when everyone can use your image and voice to create any content?

Answer: We will not pay attention to it. Let’s say they make a puppet out of me and twist it any way they want. Be my guest!

And what is there about me that they can do? Something with me personally? With my image? Everyone will know it is or it is not so. In the end, what difference does it make to me?

I think society by this time will be mature enough for understanding that there are higher values that do not include copying a person and making a parody out of him. Personally, this would not anger me in any way. It would not bother me.

Comment: But in such situations a person feels that the framework of his self-identification, the old reference points, are dissolving. And he does not seem to feel the new ones yet.

My Response: A public person might feel that way. After all, it can confuse voters and they might think: “Look what he said, what he did.” But I think humanity will quickly figure it out.

Everything is coming to a point where we will not pay any attention to what they say about us, what they think, and how they represent us. So, my image runs across the screen as if it is a 100% me and does some tricks: here I lead a gang of robbers, and there I am involved in a theft. So what? If all this becomes routine, we will simply stop focusing on it, we will look at it as tricks performed by a puppet.

Basically, each of us is a puppet. We all play certain roles because they are somehow placed in us and played-out. And man is entirely a product of a certain program. I think humanity will understand this rather quickly.

The most important thing in all this is to rise above your animate, egoistic self and start building yourself on a completely different level where no one can get you because you work for bestowal, for altruism, for connection, and for good relations with others.

And then, no matter what they say about you, it remains somewhere below, on the animate level, and has nothing to do with you. Because in these good states toward others, you are now forming yourself. And it does not bother you at all that Hollywood cartoons are being created from your egoistic self. After all, you are building your altruistic self, not out of caricatures, but by wanting real paintings.

Question: It has been estimated that the recent Internet outage cost Kazakhstan’s economy $189 million dollars. Loss of connection takes a massive toll on humanity and that’s just one country.

What if it happened on a global scale, a sudden loss of the Internet? Can we quantify the sum that would reflect the cost of the disrupted connections between us, between countries, between people?

Answer: I think it would be a net gain of a couple billion dollars, not a loss.

I think that humanity did not lose out from this, but only moved forward. They realized what it means to lose the connection between them. They realized what it means when there is no connection between people, when life support systems are not functioning, and so on. This is invaluable.

Question: Do you mean the realization that we cannot survive without the connection makes up for all the monetary losses? Is that it?

Answer: Of course.

Question: So will we realize that the connection between us is simply indispensable, that it is vital, and that we would not be able to survive without it only if we continue to be subject to such network interruptions?

Answer: Only if we don’t learn. It’s quite possible that we will wise up and won’t have to go through such outages.

Question: So you think that it came from above, that this kind of experience comes from the Creator?

Answer: Everything comes from above.

Question: Was this experience given to humanity so we could feel that there’s no connection between us?

Answer: Yes, of course.

Question: What’s going to happen once we do feel it?

Answer: We will begin to relate to it in a completely different manner. We will begin to understand the importance of connection between us, the importance of providing everyone with necessities, the way we ought to build our society, and so on.

Basically a society has to be set up in such a way that whatever happens, every individual or family gets their own package of essentials.

Good, reciprocal connection between us will resolve all problems.

In the News (Newsweek): “Two-thirds of Southern Republicans say they support breaking away from the U.S. and forming their own country with nearby states, while nearly half of Democrats on the West Coast would do the same.

“A 66 percent majority of Republicans in 13 Southern states including Texas and Florida are in favor of seceding from the union, according to a poll released Wednesday by Bright Line Watch. Half of all independents in the South agreed, while only 20 percent of Southern Democrats were on board.”

Comment: Politicians, philosophers, and writers argue that the United States is already ripe for collapse.

My Response: I think this will eventually happen because the way they are going will definitely divide America into two parts. Everything is coming to this.

Republicans wouldn’t have done that. But the Democrats, who are now in power, will do everything to aggravate mutually antagonistic relations with the Republicans. I think that if this continues, these trends will intensify to the point that some people will start moving to Republican states, others to Democratic ones. That is how it will manifest itself.

Question: Isn’t this a return to the Middle Ages, when states were breaking up into small principalities and so on?

Answer: No, it means that this is mine and this is yours, but there can be good mutual neighborly relations between us.

Question: So one way or another, further connection is waiting for them in the future, but for now separation?

Answer: No, not that there will be connection in the near future. Only separation and such mutual, good development. That’s at best, of course. Republicans are more ready for independent development. These are strong, enterprising people. And the Democrats are more drawn to begging.

Question: What about your call for unity?

Answer: Unity can only be above when everyone is confident that they can add something to the other and can get something beneficial from the other. And there is no such progress here yet.

They will separate, and let them separate and live separately. Of course, they will have some kind of cooperation. They are still called the United States of America. And each state has its own set of laws, police, courts, and so on.

Question: So have they quietly prepared themselves for such a step?

Answer: They had it originally. I think that all this will pass.

But they will have to respond to this challenge because it comes from society. They will have to divide this society anyway, and then the understanding will come that education in the spirit of mutual addition, connection, and so on is necessary. But this is the next stage.

Question: But these two sides who hate each other today, Democrats and Republicans, will they eventually have this understanding that it is simply necessary to rise above hatred?

Answer: They must first realize the huge gap that exists between them in their psychology, in their approach to life and to the world, in their mutual hatred, where it comes from, and so on. All this is impossible without the recognition of evil. And for this it is necessary to reach some critical point.

Question: So do you consider this process to be correct?

Answer: It is the same in nature. A person cannot begin to change unless he recognizes the evil in his state. Neither one side nor the other is willing to recognize the evil in themselves.

Question: And how do you see this from the position of a Kabbalist?

Answer: Very true, this is dialectic.

It is necessary to determine the present state: who is right, what is to blame, to give everyone the opportunity to determine this for themselves, to realize the need for unification, and if it will manifest quickly. And if not, then exist like this until there is some kind of universal consensus in a natural way.

Question: Should some kind of unified leader appear for this later? What do you think?

Answer: He may appear. But he will not appear exactly as black or white, as a Republican or a Democrat. He will appear as someone who can unite everyone. So far this is not visible.

Comment: You received the following letter:

I watched one of your videos yesterday in which someone wrote very sincerely that he is sick and is worried he about his father who wanted to help him. Thank you for responding to such letters. I decided to write to you. I have Alzheimer’s disease, and I’m only 47 years old. Mostly old people suffer from it, but I am in that small percentage of young people, what can you do?

I’m not complaining. I’ve been watching you for a long time. I understand that everything is in the hands of the Creator, and I honestly don’t care what happens to me. Only one thing bothers me: I don’t want to be a burden to my loved ones, and everything is coming to this. I know what awaits me: immobility and dementia. There is no cure for this disease, which means that everything falls on the shoulders of loved ones.

My Response: From a medical point of view, I would only advise him to walk a lot and to listen to and read scientific materials, meaning, to give a load to the brain. And moreover, if he knows our materials, then delve into them as much as possible. This will take him in another direction. He will heal himself.

Question: Can a person not become a burden? Let’s say he enters these materials and does not think about it.

Answer: He will dive into our materials, and if he lives inside them, then everything will change. And he won’t be a burden to others.

Question: Will this life bubble in him even in any state?

Answer: Certainly.

Question: And will those close to him feel that he is not a burden?

Answer: They will feel from him that he is busy with his business, that he has withdrawn into himself so to speak, into his occupation, that he walks a lot, thinks a lot, and works a lot with both his head and body. And gradually, gradually, he will overcome in some ways and be able to stop the progress of this disease.

Question: If, as he describes, this is really such a state of mutual love and mutual support, is it possible to at least keep this spark of love and connection in any state a person may be in?

Answer: Yes. But his problem is different. He worries about others, not for himself. He regrets all the time—being sick, how he will become a burden for them, and so on. There is nothing you can do. There are possible objective reasons that he will not be able to overcome in any way, and then he may only have thoughts of leaving.

And this isn’t right.

Question: And why are these thoughts and these states given to a person from above?

Answer: For the correction of the soul.

Question: Whose? His or his loved ones?

Answer: His soul and the others, his friends, acquaintances, and relatives. We live only for the correction of the soul, not for the correction of the body. Our body lives and dies. There is nothing to it. This is our animal degree, and we have to think about the next degree.

Question: If we could see that this is how it is, that it is given for the correction of the soul, how would our worldview change?

Answer: We would all live for a different purpose, for the sake of elevating the soul. And then indeed our whole life would receive a completely different direction and different meaning. We would put ourselves in a completely different framework. We would treat each other differently; we would live differently. It would change everything.

Question: What would an incurable disease turn into then?

Answer: It is quite possible that we would simply understand that this is not a disease, that this is the natural end of earthly life and the body. It exists for a certain amount of time in order to allow the soul to develop after that.

Question: What does it do to a person then? Does it give him some kind of freedom?

Answer: Of course! In general, everything happens differently.

Comment: Your teacher’s wife was immobile for five years. She was practically paralyzed. And I know that between them, as you said, there was great love.

My Response: Yes.

Question: How did he feel, and how did she feel about what was happening?

Answer: She couldn’t do anything, she couldn’t even talk. She was just completely paralyzed. And he took care of her and did everything he could. It is incredible when an 85-year-old man takes care of his paralyzed wife at that age.

Question: It was thanks to this connection, and only to this connection?

Answer: Yes. They loved each other. It’s not just a habit for 50 years of life; it really was love.

Question: How does one get to such a state?

Answer: These are special souls.

In the News (“What Companies Want Most in a CEO: A Good Listener”): “Companies are increasingly seeking socially adept leaders—not charismatic smooth-talkers, but executives who listen empathetically, welcome input, and rally the workforce around a common goal, according to a recent study by a team of researchers including Harvard Business School Professors Raffaella Sadun and Joseph Fuller, who analyzed thousands of executive job search descriptions created over a 17-year period. …

“Top executives who demonstrate this kind of interpersonal prowess are more likely to be in high demand, particularly at large, multinational, and information-intensive organizations, the research suggests. ”

Question: What do you think about these conclusions? Are they evident?

Answer: Yes, all this is understandable. Yet why are we starting to understand this today? Time works in such a way that we have different requirements.

Today we do not need charismatic leaders. Now, we need people who understand others. Moreover, I think that they mean those who really understand others. I do not know where they will find them, but with a lot of money they will find them. 🙂

Actually, I am glad to hear this. I mean, the biggest problem of humanity is brought forward—human egoism, which does not allow one to feel the other. And this is necessary. Thus, again, we have come to the same conclusion from different sides.

Comment: It took 17 years for them to come to this.

My Response: This is not so bad, the planet has existed for much longer.

Question: Does it always come to this, one way or another? All the thousands of years?

Answer: Yes, all the time. From the first dinosaurs.

Question: Why didn’t they just write: “A leader must be human”?

Answer: Because “human” is a very vague concept for us. Anyway, what does it mean to be human?

Question: He must be sincere?

Answer: Can you name such leaders? Those who have made their way into leadership so far to date are unscrupulous, egoistic people who can tear apart everything and everyone in their path. They can put everyone down and walk on their heads, over their bodies. Nothing will stop them; they will be only too happy to clear their way.

Question: Does it mean that even this Harvard assumption is a breakthrough?

Answer: Yes! It is very interesting what they will do next.

Question: What else would you add to this? What is your main point?

Answer: My main point is that they will not find such people in their pure form, at least from their school of economics. Because people who have this attitude to life have a different economy—the economy of hearts, the economy of attitude to the world.

They feel that it is possible to earn money and possible to build a world out of another material, from the correct relationships between people.

Question: Are these the future leaders? Is that the most important thing?

Answer: Yes. It still is not very close. But this is the main thing, and we will have to come to this.

Question: In order for something good to come true, you need to set a goal. Some experts say, “You need to sit down and write, precisely write, what you want to achieve. And then you will succeed. And write down your goals with your hand, with a pen, not on a computer,” even today. In this case you have a better chance of success.”

Why was the past more successful, when we wrote with a pen?

Answer: This is not the past. It just expresses your thoughts naturally. And it would be even better if you would take a chisel and hammer and carved it on stone.

Question: Does this mean so you will work hard for it?

Answer: Yes. You should do so.

Question: Are you literally saying this?

Answer: Of course. A person should invest himself in his future, in his plans. Therefore do it this way.

Question: And if he does it on a computer?

Answer: It’s very fast, accessible, and he can delete it and write again. It’s not the same.

Question: Is it desirable that it cannot be erased?

Answer: Yes. This is the first condition.

Question: What kind of goal should a person carve on a stone?

Answer: An important goal. It doesn’t matter if it’s paramount or not. But he should know that he is carving it. It is not for nothing that it is said that what is written with a pen cannot be cut down with an ax. A pen is the same as something carved on a stone.

Question: Tell me, do goals change in the course of a person’s life? Does he have to carve out another goal next?

Answer: Certainly. They change. It’s okay; let them change. This is called the “book of life” that he writes. Let it be so; it doesn’t matter. And do not erase what happened. This is his development.

Question: And what happens when he literally carves? What is going on inside him at the same time? Let’s say he accepts your formula and carves it out on the stone: “I want to reach true love.”

What is going on inside him at the same time?

Answer: That’s how he wants it to be. He is already investing himself in his future.

Question: Can we say that he carves it inside himself, in fact?

Answer: Yes, of course.

Question: Is it possible to carve a goal that does not change throughout life and to advance toward it?

Answer: It is possible, but it will still deepen and change. Maybe according to the external form that you carve, it will not change, but according to the content, it will.

Question: What goal would you set in stone today?

Answer: I would like to see all my students united together now. It would be a wonderful group who would hold on to each other all over the globe and who could really become a link between unhappy humanity and the mighty Creator. That is what I would carve.

We would feel that everything leads us to it.
