Question: Is it by chance that Earth is the third and only planet in the solar system capable of sustaining biological life?

Answer: There are certain natural conditions on Earth for creating life the way we perceive it in our sensations.

These conditions are ideal, although they change within a certain framework. There are no such conditions anywhere else in the universe. You can look for all kinds of aliens; they are nowhere to be found.

Naturally, we can talk about Mars as Earth’s past and Venus as Earth’s future. This is clear from astronomy. But, the fact is, there are special conditions on Earth that stem from our universe, our galaxy, that is, the Milky Way.

In the solar system, Earth’s relation to the Moon and the Sun is Malchut, Zeir Anpin, and Bina of the world of Atzilut. This is how it works in the upper system and leads to such consequences in our world that ideally coincide, stay in a certain rhythm with each other, meaning, minutes, hours, years, etc., and constantly moves us forward. These rhythms are embedded in the cosmic system itself because this is how they descend from our souls.

First, a system of souls was formed, an upper system. Then, as a consequence for its realization, our universe, the solar system, and the conditions of life on Earth were formed. However, all the stages of development that we have passed and are going through on Earth have already been passed by us in the spiritual world.

While we are still on this Earth, we must combine our spiritual qualities with earthly ones so that a person standing with two feet in this world is simultaneously in the upper world, i.e., a person by having revealed both worlds simultaneously exists in them both.

Nature leads us to this. It does not let us live in peace in the material world, it pushes us to realize that if we want to live well, we must simultaneously reveal the upper world and combine both worlds in ourselves.

Then man will really be above nature in the quality of bestowal. He will become as global and integral as the whole of nature.

He will control it, be above it, around it, and include the whole of nature in him. Only in this way will we be able to avoid very serious upheavals.

Question: A person has standards of perception, initial attitudes. Through development, he must somehow change them. One can tune in to a certain picture of the world and by working hard can change it in accordance with the purpose of his own development.

What are the tools that change the picture of the world in accordance with the ultimate goal?

Answer: There is only one way to see the world in a different way—rapprochement with each other. Distancing from each other will not give us the realization that we are delving into the world more. Rapprochement with each other will lead to the fact that a lot of forces of resistance to this will arise in us.

And at the junction between our efforts to get closer and the forces of nature to separate us, we will begin to feel the revelation of nature, the revelation of ourselves. There we will see a  human.

It will be a radically different perception of reality—the correct, true revelation of egoism. If we begin to strive for rapprochement with each other and feel how nature repels us from each other, but we still insist on rapprochement and nature insists on our distance, then at the junction of these two opposing forces we will discover the truth.

People who are more or less connected with nature by profession feel it better. Nature itself forces them to be more delicate, closer to their essence. At first glance they may seem crude, but they feel nature and its laws through themselves, and therefore, they are different.

Comment: In particular, the academic Vernadsky said that humanity should live the life of a single whole. In his opinion, the whole development of technology is not accidental and is connected with the fact that humanity must reveal its globalization. But he wrote about it in general terms, in general concepts. He did not know how to do it.

My Response: He had no methodology. To do this, you need to know all the layers of the spiritual world up to the highest degrees, to the spiritual root of everything that exists.

It is necessary to attain all five worlds, all 125 degrees, not counting our world, and find in that root its five primordial parts, the five initial stages of development, in order to understand the whole plan, the entire previous history of our descent from that root from top to bottom to the material world, and then our ascent from bottom to top.

Vernadsky did not have this device. But he still attained a lot. He felt the thought of creation all around our world, and he called it Noosphere.

Question: Is the sensation of the past, present, and future also a form of perception? When I perceive some of the forces that currently act upon me, do I inside of myself attach them to the past, present, or future? Why are these categories necessary?

Answer: They are for the purpose that I would try to come closer to the state when all these categories merge into one common whole. After all, it is all happening within me. If I always try to tune myself to the correct perception of reality, it is as though I move from the present to the future, while the past is crawling to the present. It turns out that I constantly live in the plane on which I fixate what is occurring at a given moment like in a photograph.

Question: What should a person base himself on every moment of time? What algorithm should be here: past, present, future?

Answer: The algorithm is very simple. At each moment of time I want to reveal a new layer of nature in the new desire that appears within me and to be unified with the world in this perception.

Question: Does it mean I want to reveal the future when I base myself on the present and in some way using the past?

Answer: It is possible to say it this way as well, the only thing we should avoid is confusion.

Often, the surest way to convey misinformation is to tell the strict truth (Mark Twain).

Question: In principle, we consider something to be the truth and something to be a lie, this is in a way the basis of our perception of the world. Is there any mechanism to distinguish between truth and lie? How can a person orientate himself?

Answer: I do not think this is quite simple. Finding the truth is the goal of many quests of all people, from a small child to great minds, depending on the level and how they see this truth.

The search for truth is, of course, a very unrewarding task, but it is at the same time a very human one. It develops us and pulls us forward. Basically, we live in order to understand the meaning of our life. This is our most important quest. This is what we exist for.

Question: Does the truth somehow differ from verity? Are these different concepts?

Answer: Truth is when we can say that it is true or false, the greater truth, the lesser truth. Verity is something that is unshakable. We want to attain it. Each degree toward attainment of verity can be called truth.

Question: What does “proper upbringing” mean?

Answer: Proper upbringing is the creation of a correct environment around each person. Through the Internet and through the media, people can be led to understand that the influence of the environment on a person is the most important thing.

We parents need to start uniting among ourselves for the sake of our children and create the right structure for education.

Kabbalah prescribes this in great detail. Kindergartens, schools, and universities should be built on a completely different principle. The science of Kabbalah has been talking about this for thousands of years.

Question: Are there any results?

Answer: Of course! Within the framework of our community, there are children’s groups all over the world in which children are educated according to Kabbalistic principles, and they show how differently they relate to themselves, to life, to each individual, and to humanity. They understand the meaning of life and what they live for. They have a completely different outlook, they are different.

We are talking about the fact that the world will not be able to function if it is not united! People cannot exist unless they are united. That is, we tell the truth and teach children the method of correct existence. They study the principles of association, interdependence, mutual obligations, and all kinds of mutual concessions. It’s a whole education system. This is the most important thing in the world!

If we create such conditions for our children, then literally in 10 to 15 years we will get a completely new generation.

Let’s get on with it! The world needs nothing more. Moreover, by working with our children, we will correct ourselves. Let’s make a different world for them! We will kind of play in order to create the right environment for them. Nothing else needs to be done. This is enough to live normally, quietly, calmly, and most importantly, to create a good future for the children.

In the News (Hundredth Monkey Effect and Information Cascade): “The hundredth monkey effect is a hypothetical phenomenon in which a new behavior or idea is said to spread rapidly by unexplained means from one group to all related groups once a critical number of members of one group exhibit the new behavior or acknowledge the new idea. This concept is closely related to the information cascade model we learnt in class and demonstrates how it works in the animal world.

“The story of the hundredth monkey effect was published in … 1975. Some scientists were conducting a study of macaque monkeys on the Japanese island of Kōjima in 1952. These scientists observed that some of these monkeys learned to wash sweet potatoes in the water, and once a critical number of these monkeys was reached, i.e., the hundredth monkey, this previously learned practice instantly spread across the water to other troupes of monkeys on nearby islands without any contact between the troupes. This phenomenon correlates to the information cascade model in that it shows how ideas can spread quickly once they hit a certain level of acceptance. The certain level of acceptance matches with the tipping point in advertising we discussed in class.”

The researchers also observed the following pattern which suggests the information cascade process based on network structure:

1. The young monkeys first teach their contemporaries and immediate family, who all benefit from the new behavior and teach it to their contemporaries;
2. If the parents or their contemporaries (or their parents) are too old, they do not adopt the behavior;
3. Once the initial group have children, the dynamic changes from teaching previous and current generations, to the next generation learning by observation.

My Response: Yes, they say that on the neighboring island, the monkeys began to do the same. This is a normal transmission of thoughts at a distance.

In our daily life, we often encounter such facts. For example, in a newspaper, stories are printed with certain headlines. Over twelve hundred miles, at the same time, the exact same story comes out in another newspaper, although there really was no connection. Absolutely the same thing. Nobody stole anything. It is just that people are in the same field and spread all their thoughts in it.

It is the same with monkeys and in general with all nature at any level. We just need to take this relationship into account and understand that we, like monkeys, are interconnected. Let’s think carefully, then everyone will have good thoughts.

I should not criticize anyone, but first of all, think well myself, and then I will actually see how the world is getting better.
Thinking well does not mean selfishly, just to make everyone feel good. What does it mean to “love your neighbor as yourself”? Imagine that the others are your loved ones. There is no way to go anywhere if the world is global. Let’s hope this helps.

Comment: As a result of the experiment with monkeys, scientists came to the conclusion that a critical mass of people is needed who would be looking for an answer to the question posed, and then this will happen.

My Response: In Kabbalah, this is called 600,000 souls. This is a conditional name. Indeed, a critical mass is needed.

Question: Is everything around a person, including the massive flow of information, not unnecessary, but is created in order for a person to filter it?

Answer: Yes, today it is impossible otherwise. With the current flow of information, we need to initially, clearly, adjust ourselves to the fact that I am interested in this as the main thing in my life, and a little more of this as an accompanying one.

Of course, there is the life of the world, the planet, the universe, and humanity; I need to learn something from this, too, and every day I do it according to some schedule. But mainly, I am interested in what I do, where I can perceive, absorb, and give something.

Question: From the point of view of Kabbalah, there are no unnecessary things in the world. Could it be that what a person filters out now, he will be able to use in the future?

Answer: No, he will sort it all out, and only the most necessary things will remain. Man is not created to absorb all the garbage that we create.

All of nature is built on unity, mutual participation, mutual balance, and mutual support. Therefore, each participant in this inner closed picture of nature takes from it as much as he can and should take for his existence, and no more.

But man takes from nature without considering absolutely anything! And he not just takes. He robs it, destroys all other species without caring about giving them the opportunity to recover. We have developed within ourselves such a consumeristic attitude toward nature that there can be no question of any kind of balance.

In addition, man brings a huge imbalance into it with his thoughts, because they are the greatest forces in nature.

Thought is a great power. We see from the example of nature that the more powerful the force, the more imperceptible it is, as if more hidden like nuclear forces, subatomic forces, radiation forces, and radio waves. And we do not feel the spiritual world at all.

That is, rough mechanical forces operate at a short distance are here next to us. And the more powerful the force is, the more subtle and the less it is captured by us.

Therefore, Kabbalah speaks of the fact that the most powerful forces are the forces of our mind, our thoughts, and our relationships with each other. Even though it seems to us: “What difference does it make how I think about the world or how I treat others?!”

But in fact, these are also forces of nature and the most powerful in their impact because they are of the highest quality. They are not at the level of inanimate, vegetative, and animal nature, but at the level of human nature, and therefore, they bring in the greatest imbalance.

Thus, with our bad attitude toward each other, we simply destroy ourselves and our world. Therefore, both in the Bible and in humanity in general, we are given a humane basis: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Everyone agrees with this principle; however, no one fulfills it. If we followed this formula, then, of course, we would come to a completely different civilization.

Question: From where do thoughts of receiving arise in us?

Answer: The main thought of the universe, meaning, the Creator, the thought, created us opposite to Himself so that we could attain Him from this state and cloth in Him with our opposite qualities.

Question: It turns out that all our thoughts, our whole world, is the reverse side of the Creator, right?

Answer: That is exactly right. That is why our world is called “creation,” from the word “create,” that is, to create something opposite, external from oneself.

The thought we call the Creator is completely altruistic. We are absolutely egoistic. We are created by this thought as a desire to receive, and not like Him to give. But thanks to this very difference, we are something distinct from Him, exist independently, and are able to know Him from the outside, superimposed on Him.

Therefore, we come to such a state that we and He exist, and we can achieve equivalence of form with Him, while remaining opposite to Him by nature.

We cannot change our nature. Our thought remains egoistic, but we learn how to use it with the correct intention from this thought, from the Creator.
