Question: Many people write to us that they lead their life feeling offended for different reasons. There are people who cannot forgive their parents for having destroyed their marriage. Teachers are offended by ungrateful students. Parents do not forgive their children who have abandoned them.

According to some psychologists, everything falls into specific categories, and they explain three major reasons for feeling insulted and the implications of this feeling. They say that if you are a clever person, you can control this feeling, and they explain how you can do so. What is your attitude regarding the feeling of being insulted?

Answer: I am never offended by anyone because I know human nature, and the better I know human nature, the better I know that there is no one to be offended by. Kabbalists say that if you are offended by someone, “Go and tell the craftsman who made me,” go to the Creator who has made me the way I am.

Question: Is this a serious attitude?

Answer: It is not about whether it is serious or not—it is the truth. Where can a person’s thoughts, feelings, attributes, or actions come from? There is nothing in him that is his. He is simply totally enclosed in what nature does with him, which means the Creator.

Question: This is a sublime state. If we go back to an ordinary earthly person, then, for example, parents whose children do not help and have abandoned them or someone who has betrayed his friend, how can one work with such emotions? You said that if you understand human nature, it is possible not to be offended at all.

Answer: True. That is what you should do and then you are truly a human being. You are totally on the side of the other person.

Question: Of the person who has hurt you?

Answer: Of the one who has hurt you. I am not talking just about being hurt. I believe that we need to reach such a level in our development at which you begin to understand that all other people around you are like puppets on a string and that the Creator controls them so that you will correct yourself in relation to them and be able to justify them and wish them all the best.

Question: Modern people in our age of rationality have lost the ability to marvel at a miracle. Do you think this is a problem?

Answer: No, on the contrary, it is very good. People stopped believing in all sorts of nonsense that supposedly can happen by itself within the framework of the earthly world. They see that only what is available to our sciences can be done here, and therefore, there is nothing to be surprised at. Close your eyes, open them again, look at the world, make sure it is the same as it was before.

Question: You say that you do not believe in miracles, that a person performs a miracle himself. Can you explain this?

Answer: A person, working on himself, creates a certain environment around him that helps him, with the help of the forces of nature, to get out of his nature, from his egoistic desire to attract everything and be filled with everything, into an altruistic desire—to treat everything with bestowal and love.

This transition is the transition from Egypt to the Sinai Desert. It is the transition from our lower earthly world to the upper world, from the property of receiving to the property of bestowal.

Question: Is there a connection between volcanic eruptions and relations between people?

Answer: We are all in one system on all the levels of still, vegetative, animate, and speaking nature so whatever happens on one level affects all other levels. People on the speaking level have the greatest impact. If their relations are imbalanced, negative energies that stem from them affect all other levels.

Question: Does the feeling of hatred attract energy that causes accumulative harm to the world?

Answer: Of course. Because everything is energy, feeling, attitude.

Question: Experts who speak about the emission of greenhouse gasses claim that the climate crisis requires man to change as well. What is the change that needs to take place on the human level?

Answer: A change in relations between people. If people change, the calm, balanced, and good connection they will bring to the world will impact all levels of nature: the still, the vegetative, and the animate. Man is responsible for everything, “His hand will be upon all, and everyone’s hand upon him.”

Question: How do Kabbalists view supernatural phenomena in nature?

Answer: There are no supernatural phenomena. What does “supernatural” mean? From which point does “natural” begin and from which point does “above nature” begin? Everything that is within the framework of our egoistic phenomena is called natural because we are in this nature. And everything that is higher than our egoistic properties is called supernatural.

All nature, whatever it may be, that is reflected in our ideas, in our properties, forces, qualities, and feelings is divided into the natural, that which is in us now, and the supernatural, that which is not in us yet today but tomorrow will be. Or some people already have it and for them it is natural, while others do not yet and for them it is still unusual. Everything is determined relative to a person.

Question: Why does the special force contained in The Book of Zohar allow a person to reveal his true state and wake up faster?

Answer: Because The Book of Zohar causes us to look at the upper world through our world, see it in us, lay upon ourselves all the objects of the upper world, and be able to perceive everything that really exists. Now we perceive only a small part of the creation that is revealed to us. But how can we attain the hidden part?

Through this world, The Book of Zohar reveals the external world to me, and then I feel that what I perceived before was really just a dream.

Question: Our distorted perception of the world gives us the feeling that the world is outside of us. Does a person actually reveal all these levels inside?

Answer: In myself and only in myself. Today we feel the world inside of us.

Do you exist? I feel that you exist. Whether you really exist outside of me, I do not know. This is a question that science, psychology, and philosophy engage in.

Kabbalah answers it very simply and The Book of Zohar allows you to see it and feel it with your own eyes.

Question: When I was looking for information about miracles, the number seven appeared in all the lists. For example: seven wonders of the world, etc. Why exactly seven? What is this number magical?

Answer: Seven is a magic number that emphasizes we are talking about something above nature.

Right, left, front, back, top, bottom—six sides in which we are enclosed as in a cube, and the seventh one is beyond it. That is why number seven is so symbolic. It defines something that is beyond our world.

Question: You said that the signs in our world simply demonstrate on a lower level what has already happened above. What does it mean?

Answer: Not only what happened, but what may be.

In fact, it is said: “Do not enchant and do not guess,” because you can know the future, but it is impossible to fully predict it. After all, Nostradamus and other soothsayers did not just write their prophecies in veiled forms, they themselves do not clearly understand what they wanted to say. There are some premonitions, but nothing more.

They sense what will happen at the level of our world. Very rarely, can a person without Kabbalistic training feel the upper world. There are practically no such people. Only a few. But they also become Kabbalists, only without prior training.

Just as there is a self-taught inventor who was illuminated by the brilliance of thought, he was given some idea from above, and through him this idea was revealed in the world. Some people have been working on this for decades until they come to some serious invention.

We are talking about what we ourselves can reach through systematic study, application of the laws of nature, and the advice that Kabbalists who have passed this path have left for us. We are not interested in talking about what will happen somewhere in someone in some way since we cannot control this.

That is, Kabbalah calls not to live in the momentary moment, but to direct yourself to where you can truly realize your eternal part.

Question: Why, despite the desire to realize ourselves, do we use only 2% of our brain and 98% remain, so to say, free?

Answer: The point is that we do not know ourselves. We use 2% of the brain because it only serves our animate part. And as soon as we begin to reveal the spiritual part—our soul—and develop it, we will need all the remaining 98%.

In principle, we have enormous reserves of memory and internal properties. We simply cannot imagine how each of us is infinite in possibilities. But we do not use it in our world.

Imagine a simple peasant who lived in a village a hundred years ago who herded cows and existed at that level. He had no television, no radio, nothing.

And now this peasant has developed, lives in Manhattan, works in a large company, travels around the world, sees, hears, understands, and uses everything. His brain works a little differently than that of the shepherd whose brain was at the level of the cows he grazed.

That is, the brain always serves the desire. Therefore, if our desires are constantly raised to the level of the Creator, then naturally, the brain will open its reserves in accordance with them. So, instead of two percent, we will use a lot more.

In humanity, there is even a desire to explore the brains of great people to find what was so interesting about them. We cannot understand this because we do not know that the brain is triggered by desires. And when a person dies, desires disappear.

Therefore, we do not understand why their brains worked in a special way. After all, their desires launched huge layers of consciousness, analysis, and memory.

Question: Kabbalists say that all of humanity is in a state of sleep today. Isn’t the state of eternal harmony illusory, isn’t it a dream?

Answer: By exploring our current state and developing with the help of Kabbalah, we come closer to the spiritual state and begin to see two worlds—our world from the side and the spiritual world in which we become clothed.

When we see how they match each other, merge, and form one common space, that is, we see the cause and the consequence of everything we go through, we have no illusions about the spiritual world. We have a question: What is next? This is because the spiritual world is a world of development.

We should develop to a state where we fully attain it, connect with it, fill ourselves with it, and fill it with us. This is called adhesion with the Creator. Moreover, the spiritual world, including this world, is within me and I am completely within both of them. Achieving such a state is called final correction, it is the complete awakening from this illusion, from this dream.

That is, we see the objective of what we have to achieve—final correction (Gmar Tikkun), complete equivalence, complete adhesion with the Creator (or nature). I reveal that it is reasonable, eternal, and perfect because according to this I myself become eternal, sensible, and perfect.

Then I get an absolutely clear question to the Creator, to this common nature that created me: “What is next?” But there is no answer to it. This question does not have an answer. Because all of us, absolutely all people on Earth, must reach final correction. Only after that, when we all correct ourselves, the next perspective in this development will be revealed to us.

That is, Kabbalah does not evade the answer, it reveals to a person what may happen, and what is next we do not know.

Comment: Zuckerberg is creating a metaverse. This is a digital world that gives a sense of the real, physical presence of a virtual space.

There will be an understanding of the world through touch. A thin robotic skin has already been developed that allows you to create the effect of physical interaction in digital reality, not only to see, but also to touch objects from digital reality.

People will be able to move and communicate regardless of physical distances, schoolchildren will be able to teleport to other countries, epochs, write with the power of thought, and so on.

Zuckerberg wants to create a world in which a billion people will reallocate. Would you like to live in such a world?

My Response: No. I dream of another universe, a spiritual one, where people will migrate not because they will have such particularly sensitive skin and connect themselves to many machines that create reality for them, they will, lying or sitting, imagine that they fly there.

And why?! We must first define the criteria: what happiness means, the meaning of life, what we should lead a person to. And based on these criteria, build universes.

Do we want to give Zuckerberg the opportunity to earn another hundred billion? Let him earn!

Question: Wouldn’t a person be better off in this universe? We see the world around us.

Answer: Of course, he will be better. I’ll put a man in front of the screen. I will give him the opportunity to watch everything he can, everything he wants, and he will exist in it. He won’t want to come out of there. He will be inside it more and more, all the time. And what’s the point? To spend time comfortably?

Comment: Probably, yes, to feel good and just get out of this world.

My Response: Which means, I need a pill that I put under my tongue and it slowly dissolves there for, say, a day, and I feel good. How isn’t it a drug?

There I create some illusions on the screens around me in the room where I am. Here dinosaurs are dancing and there Thumbelina is slaughtering some villain. And then what?

Question: And when you talk about the spiritual reality that you want to create, what do you mean?

Answer: There I rise to the level of the upper force of nature, to the level of the Creator! That’s something entirely different!

Question: So you are giving everyone the opportunity to rise to this level? Is this called spiritual reality?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And if a person starts building something with this thought, is this thought good?

Answer: Sure. It’s not just a thought. It raises and really brings a person to a new reality.

Question: Is it possible to build a virtual reality that meets these thoughts of yours?

Answer: You don’t even have to build it, you have to create it within yourself. Physically, mechanically, technically, or with a computer you can’t create it.

Question: So here it depends on the person. What does he need to do in order to start building the reality that you are talking about, the spiritual one?

Answer: Not to depend on anyone. Turn off your computer. Don’t get involved in these imaginary realities. Busy yourself with your personal entry. Without changing the skin, and in this skin, in which you exist, occupy yourself with entering this real reality. That’s all.

Question: What should a person define in himself? What prevents him from entering this space?

Answer: Lack of inner desire.

Question: Why is it missing?

Answer: This is a question for the Creator.

Question: So he should ask the Creator the question?

Answer: If he needs it.

Question: And if it is not necessary, then it is not necessary?

Answer: Yes. He has his own desires, everything he did in his computers for example.

Question: So you will not be able to force a person into this spirituality?

Answer: I’ve never addressed anyone in that way.

Comment: Zuckerberg will be able to bring people there, he will lure them.

My Response: He will manipulate, and therefore there are many questions for him. And there can’t be many questions for me, I’m not manipulating anyone.

Question: Is this the right approach? Without violence?

Answer: Yes. It depends only on the person.

Comment: Let’s hope that a person will choose a spiritual reality after all.

My Response: But not immediately. This is a spiritual reality. The only one that exists. And our world—what we feel, ordinary people—is not a real reality! This is what is reflected in our artificial egoism. And therefore it will disappear.
