Our knowledge is very limited. In fact, its boundaries should be much greater than we can imagine.

But we are in an egoistic state and try to receive everything in ourselves, and therefore we are very limited and feel only our small world. The universe seems to us as infinite and in its inanimate matter.

The still, vegetative, animate, and human parts of the universe exist only on our small planet. All levels are arranged as a pyramid: a huge inanimate universe, then the vegetative nature on earth, a smaller part is the animate, and even smaller one is man.

Imagine how limited all this is and that it is only a meager perception of the general universe. Moreover, we perceive this small part in our egoistic properties, i.e., opposite to the huge law of love and bestowal that exists in the world.

It turns out that the perceived world feels negative, flawed, temporary, that it always leads to death and requires huge efforts on our part to at least get something, to be fulfilled by something, to exist somehow.

But in fact, this world, the whole of nature, the whole universe exists according to another law—the law of love and bestowal. There, on the contrary, there is absolute energy, information, and the exchange of forces and properties where you act and at the same time no energy is required from you, no effort.

You do not act against this force, against internal friction, against your properties, you do not have to overcome anything. On the contrary, you enter a state of bestowal and love when everything flows in you by itself.

We cannot even imagine such a property, such a state. This is the single common law that exists in the universe.

Comment: Our time, the time of the pandemic, has pushed the talents of Silicon Valley to accelerate the construction of a matrix. It is a simulation of reality. They want to build a reality into which they can practically usher all of humanity. Moreover, it should not be expensive so that the poorest people can get there also.

They say: “We cannot give you a private island, a sports car, but virtual reality can. And our task is to make it cheaper, to make poor people happy.”

My Response: That is, if I have a computer, I can live in my imaginary world. It is such a drug. An imaginary reality into which I can enter and enjoy.

Question: Is it good for people?

Answer: Of course! You save people from all suffering. Sedate and forget, like in Vysotsky.

Question: So you think it will not work?

Answer: First, it is not going to work because it is against the principles of nature. And it will take us out of this state anyway.

Second, someone is going to make huge profits from this, someone is going to lose, the competition will start again, etc.

This will not stand at all. We cannot get away from going straight to the goal of creation. This is the best way, the least painful in general. And these zigzags and going into some kind of drugs will not help us. I am against it.

Question: That is, one way or another, nature will bring us to this path?

Answer: Of course, it leads us to this. We are on this path.

Comment: But we are going through suffering.

My Response: It is because we do not agree with it and do not want to know about it. This is why we suffer. We constantly run away from something unpleasant to something more pleasant without realizing why it is unpleasant, how we can turn the unpleasant into pleasant, etc.

Question: That is, in theory, if I agree with nature that leads me to its goal, then I will have the feeling that I am as if on this island?

Answer: You don’t need any island. You have the whole universe.

Question: So one way or another are we all going against the decision of nature?

Answer: We are absolutely against. We will not get anything good from this. We only prolong our path of suffering.

Question: And tell me, please, does nature punish us for not following its path or not?

Answer: Of course it does. Not on purpose, but because we do not pay attention to its hints. It always wants to give us hints and lead us to the correct conclusion and to the goal of the creation. If we do not pay attention to it, then it will poke us a little and drop us somewhere so that we pay attention to the correct path.

Question: Will we ever hear the call of nature? Or will we need to make long zigzags, withdrawing all the time? Will this ever happen?

Answer: I think it is already coming to an end.

Question: I am asking in despair, to be honest. You and I have made many clips and movies and you say this all the time. But how can we break through to humanity?

Answer: It is very hard to break through. It will be broken through not by us, but by nature. That is, we do our work and reveal the goal, the path, as much as we can to humanity. But in the end, of course, nature itself, the program of creation will do it for us.

Question: You say all the time that we need to reach compliance with the laws of nature, to good relationships, love, connection, and so on. Is it possible to split it into small steps for a person? Could you name a few steps that will bring us closer to this?

Answer: Only good connection between people.

Of course, it is hard to do. But nevertheless, if we do it in some way, at least somewhat think about it, even in theory if not in practice, then we will shorten our path, mitigate suffering on our way, and get closer to the goal, the good goal of creation.

The goal is to unite with everyone without any conditions, to reveal the true goal, the picture of nature, which is infinite happiness filled with knowledge and goodness alone.

Comment: You repeat it so calmly over and over again!

My Response: And I relive it each time. And that is why it is not difficult for me. It is amazing! Because whenever someone asks me a question, he gives me his unfulfilled desire, his acuteness, his question. And I feel the question, I answer it. I absorb this question and fill it with my answer. And I get pleasure. There is no such thing as the same question.

Question: The science of management is largely based on the principles of determinism developed by Newton. And what was discovered in the 20th century: quantum physics, the Heisenberg principle, and other discoveries, are followed with great difficulty, or to put it simply, are not followed at all. Do you think this is possible to overcome?

Answer: Only by re-educating a person. There is no other way!

After Newton, all the discoveries of Heisenberg, Hugh Everett, Einstein, etc., these are all borderline states of our world—still egoistic thinking. But scientists are already trying to break into another area where forces, space, time, and energy are combined into one single whole, and the division into separate parameters disappears.

This cannot be learned and mastered by people until they undergo personal transformation and start to perceive themselves, space, society, humanity, and the entire cosmos as one single whole. But all this can be done only if people in a small team decide to cancel themselves in relation to the team. This is the essence of the Kabbalistic practice.

If they try to do this, and we know that it does work, then they have a completely different perception of space, time, and events. They go beyond the egoistic, deterministic framework to the level of integrality, globalism, interconnectedness, one single nature. All the principles operate there, of course, in a different way.

So, the transition from Newton to not even a modern but the correct unified field and space theory is possible only if we recreate a person. After all, a person feels everything through himself.

We do not see what is actually happening around us, we depict this world inside us. It is felt inside of us. And what the world represents outside of us, we cannot say because we are able to explore it only from within.

In our International Kabbalah Academy, many people are trying to enter the system of self-transformation: from “I” to “we,” in order to feel the world. Not to express it mathematically, as Einstein tried to do, but to feel it in a form independent of man.

Rising above our egoistic nature, we feel the space that is not disturbed by us, we see a different system and different calculations. And here begins a completely different physics and connection with all of nature.

What Is The Difference Between Kabbalah And Corporeal Sciences?

Question: Why are spiritual senses named exactly the same as our corporeal senses: sight, hearing, smell, etc.?

Answer: We call the five corporeal senses in our world: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. And in the spiritual world, naturally, there are no eyes, mouth, tongue, or hands, but only desires.

But each desire is tuned to a certain reception, a certain feeling of some attribute of the Creator. And so we call them after the image of a person in our world. After all, a person is like a lowered stage of the soul.

The soul is completely in the spiritual world and there are no physical organs in it, there are only desires. And only those desires that are aimed at the light of Hochma, the light of Hasadim, etc., which are also called eyes, ears, nose, mouth, etc. Our corporeal bodies are built in this image.

By studying the wisdom of Kabbalah, you will see how spiritual attributes gradually descend to the level of our world and leave their mark, their imprint in our matter. We are their outcome in the corporeal world.

Question: A person thinks that he creates with his thoughts, that he engages in some kind of work, and that he exists. But in fact, he is in an illusion. Is there a point a person can cling to in order to get out of it?

Answer: What do you need it for?! Why do you need to know what the meaning of your life is, what you make on your own, and what comes from above? Why do you, an egoist, want to know this too? Have you not spoiled this poor Earth enough with your egoistic knowledge?

Question: Isn’t the thought “What do I live for?”, in principle, the only thing that is important for a person?

Answer: Of course. But still, the thought will not give you anything. You will not be able to attain and reach it while you are in your petty egoistic state, only if you rise above it.

Question: Is it possible to rise above this state by relying on our thoughts, on the intellect?

Answer: No. No way! No mind, no intellect, no qualities given to you from the earthly nature is enough to get you out of yourself.

To do this, there must be an entire exit system where you part with your egoism and rise above it.

Question: A lot of people believe in the power of a curse and are afraid of it. I had a friend Vitalik who told me that curses exist and one has been acting in his family on the male line for decades, almost a century. Precisely on the male line. And he even felt that he was next in line. He died just a week after our conversation.

What is this, a curse? Does it exist or not?

Answer: There is an evil eye, there are curses, all sorts of spells and so on and so forth. All this exists, and we must take it into account.

Question: But is there a difference between an evil eye and a curse? The evil eye can be accidental somehow, and a curse is a targeted murder.

Answer: There are people who have a bad look, as they say. There are people who have negative energy. When they communicate with others in some way, no matter how, not even tactilely, not close, they can mentally destroy a person and lead him to a painful state.

Question: And if this is done intentionally?

Answer: Intentionally, in our time there are no such specialists, except in the “special bodies,” as they say. Yes, yes, I’m not joking. But such people are rarely found today.

Question: And how can you protect yourself from a curse or the evil eye? Is it possible to protect yourself?

Answer: Only by connection with the quality of bestowal and love, what Kabbalah teaches. To become like this. There is no other way.

A curse does not affect the one who moves to the light, to love. Although I have known Kabbalists who, in general, took into account such actions too. People who were in the sense of spiritual forces, still took into account that there is an evil eye, that even ordinary people, not Kabbalists, who do not work on their egoism, but on the contrary, working on the use of egoism, they have strength.

Question: Does it come back to the person who, for example, curses another?

Answer: This is already a complex system. I would prefer not to talk about it, I will only tell you why. Because a person who uses dark forces of nature has a whole system by which he works, why he does it, and so on, he cannot work against the Creator, as they say. He cannot work against the good, against love, because this system is higher, stronger.

But if there are any malfunctions, imperfections in this good system, then the evil system can immediately cut in and do its harmful work.

Question: Is it necessary to be afraid of this?

Answer: No, we need to think about the good—only! In no case should we be afraid and do nothing against this alleged evil, but understand that this evil is also in the hands of the Creator, and if it is really necessary, then it will exist, and we must somehow put up with it.

Question: Your main advice is?

Answer: Love. It corrects everything.

My new article on Linkedin “UFOs or Signs from the Supreme Power?”

In the late 1970s when I was serving at the Israeli Air Force base, blinking lights hung above us like illuminated lanterns. One might say I’m crazy, but not only did I see them, several hundreds and even thousands of people also recall seeing them for several days and nights. I remember how we talked to each other in amazement: What could it be? What is above us? What shines on us like that? And even though we served in the Air Force we never got an explanation for the phenomenon.

The Pentagon has recently released a detailed report with records of 144 sightings of unidentified flying objects seen in the U.S. over the past 17 years in closed military areas. In America and around the world, people have been waiting for this report for months, hoping to receive an official answer: Is there an explanation for the UFOs? In the end, the Pentagon reports no success in explaining the phenomena and also no confirmation that anything originated outside the Earth. In short, it remains a mystery.

Although I have not read the report, it is clear to me that there are many phenomena in nature that we also do not understand at all. These unidentified flying objects or UFOs are called this way just because their origin and essence are not recognized by us. If we want to recognize and understand these or any other mysterious events, we need to learn how we perceive reality in general, how the world is portrayed in our eyes.

“In our eyes” is actually in our mind. Is reality grasped in our five senses, in our imagination, or does it exist outside of us regardless of our perceptual tools? In general, everyone imagines reality differently. There is no way to know that what one person perceives and what another perceives is the same thing.

From a broader perspective, we would perceive many more forms around us than just those that are observed with ordinary eyes in our sensory perception. Even as you read these lines, many phenomena occur that we are unable to perceive. The question is not whether these phenomena exist or not, but what is it that we want to derive from knowing about them?

Humanity is always attracted to situations that seem out of place with nature, but we are attracted to them in a childish, unserious way, and we tend to produce fantastical mysticism around them. Therefore, humanity derives no benefit from engaging in this type of activity. People simply refer to the phenomenon as aliens landing from a distant planet, from another civilization, and never bother to inquire further and ask what is behind these events. Society is captivated by the alien image of Hollywood—creatures with large oval heads and slanted eyes that arrive at night to kidnap humans. This is no more than a creative invention of human beings.

The wisdom of Kabbalah speaks of spiritual forces that are not clothed in material matter. These forces descend to us from their source, from the Supreme Power, operate throughout the universe, above time, motion, and space, and can be called by the name “angels.” Here too, it is important not to relate these to the fictional paintings from the legends of winged creatures. Rather, these are abstract and transient forces of enormous power similar to magnetic force, electric fields of radiation, or a sort of gravitational field. The forces themselves cannot be seen or felt, but are known only by their action. We feel their manifestation but never the forces themselves.

In order to grasp the wider reality, understand the mystery of life, and discover the powers that surround us, we must strive to begin to grasp the broad picture, the system that encompasses all of us.

If we change our perception of reality—instead of absorbing reality by wanting to receive pleasure only for ourselves, which blocks and limits our tools of absorption—we would act in reverse form, from within a desire to give, in an attitude of giving to others, just as the higher force of nature works.

From this opposite point of perception, we would realize that all the little revelations and sensational observations come from the Upper Force that draws our attention to something that is not exactly within ordinary nature. We would discover that this is so that we would begin to ask more substantive questions about life and discover the true answer, the power that gave birth, sustains and develops the world.

Question: Throughout all times, different nations of the world mention prophets and prophecies. What is a prophecy?

Answer: Prophecy is a person’s perception of the program of creation and its source, i.e., the upper force and its revelation in a certain format, in quantity and quality, before the rest of the people

The real prophets are Kabbalists who attained the Creator through the equivalence of their properties with the properties of the Creator and who tell us about His properties, His program, and what we should be according to it.

Question: Is there a connection between prophecies and predictions? Is it the same thing?

Answer: A prophecy is a vision of a more distant future, it is vague in time. And the prediction is something more specific, for the near future.

In every generation there are people who can prophesy and predict. But whether they are ready, whether they allow themselves to do it, is another question.

Question: Does a prophecy work by itself or do we need people who support and explain it? Is it possible to turn to prophecy and find out what will happen? How does this system work?

Answer: I cannot say how this system works. However, the fact is that the general principles of the spiritual world, its laws, are explained in Kabbalistic books. I have, at least, described them all, and for many years I have been teaching classes on these topics every day. So, I have nothing much to add here.

Regarding the future, in principle, it is already possible to talk about it in our times because we are at the end of days, the end of times. I think there is nothing special to add here either.

It is only a question of how to rise to the last degree: either by good forces, which we must develop and invoke ourselves and summon from nature, or by evil forces. If we do not invoke good forces, then evil, egoistic forces will push us to this “by a stick to happiness,” as they say.

Question: Does it mean that humanity is facing the last degree?

Answer: In general, yes. It consists of several stages: preparation, action, then reception, awareness, and feeling. Now we are in the preparation period.

Question: According to what you say the Creator does not exist in our world. So who pushes us from behind to reveal Him?

Answer: You can say anything you like about that. For example, who is it that makes the sun go round? Who creates all the laws of nature and provides the energy for everything to exist? Where does it all stem from?

Our world is very small and it exists only in our imagination. If we did not look at our world, it would not exist. Kabbalists spoke about that ages ago, and scientists are beginning to find this out only now.

Our world exists only subjectively in our imagination and not more than that. If we want to transcend our limits, we need to hold on to the group and together create a new system of perception. Thus, we will begin to feel the real existence, the true system of providence of the world.
