Question: A person who is developing spiritually first feels that all his desires are entangled, he does not know how to direct them, how to balance them. Then there is a surge of egoism (the state of Babylon) when he cannot in any way establish relations with other people. Then he begins to realize his egoism; this is the entrance to Egypt.

In the outside world, where space, time, and motion exist, material pictures are drawn for us, such as Babylon, the desert, etc., but all these stories speak only of the internality, right?

Answer: Yes, just as you have a program on your computer, you run it, and it shows you some videos.

In the same way, we have all kinds of informational records inside us, which are manifested in the fact that we see ourselves existing in this world and acting in accordance with what nature scrolls in front of us. But in fact, this is all our internal video image.

It is as if your inner desires, turned inside out, show this picture so that you can change it. Change your inner qualities and you will see the world outside of you change. Can you imagine what has been given to you? To change yourself on such a big, enlarged scale.

If you change yourself a little, you will see big changes in the world around you, between yourself and inanimate nature, animals, and the people with whom you interact. When you change yourself internally, you see the consequences in the external world. You make your own movies.

Question: Does it turn out that the outside world is like an indicator for me?

Answer: The external world is a reflection of your inner state. If you now see, for example, some wars in the same land of Israel, then you need to change something in yourself. This is the only way you can influence the external situation.

Question: The film industry has learned how to bring Hollywood actors to life. Deceased musicians come on stage in the form of holograms. Microsoft has a patent for creating an interactive chat-bot that conducts a dialogue on behalf of any person, even the deceased. This technology is called “digital reincarnation.”

The idea of digital immortality is that the real “I” is not my body, but data, information that can be separated from the body and stored in some other form.

It turns out that they have come closer to this feeling, to the state of immortality?

Answer: No. This is a completely different area—the state of immortality. They took a person, copied his movements and his characteristics, and now they can manipulate it.

It was recorded, processed, deconstructed into all sorts of bits, squares, pieces, and now they can make up any image from them. They can take a Thumbelina and make a Baba Yaga out of her. We are all in these holograms.

That is, the world is really illusory.

Comment: The world really wants to come to a state of immortality.

My Response: Why is it? The way we live nowadays? I would, on the contrary, project out of all these holograms such a picture that everyone would want to fall asleep. And that’s it! So good, calm. It would be a very nice planet. It is said, “The sleep of sinners is for their benefit.”

Question: Please tell me, what is immortality for you?

Answer: This is an ascent above the level of death, above the level of our life, which is considered even worse than death. Kabbalah evaluates our life as the lowest, an existence that is not even worthy of contempt.

Question: Is this our world?

Answer: Yes. We must start to rise from it and make a real movie of ourselves. So that each of us begins to play the right person, the image of the highest, supreme, and positive that embraces the whole world!

Question: To play exactly?

Answer: Play, of course! We’re not like that!

I have to play the role that I really want to see in myself, in which I want to see myself! And I would get used to this role, get used to it, and demonstrate this role in front of everyone. And they would still demonstrate themselves in relation to me and others. And so we would have turned this world from a game into a real world.

After all, if everyone is playing, then this game turns into the truth.

Question: So I’m starting to see this as the truth?

Answer: Of course! I am perceived, and I perceive all the others, and then there is no separation between us, this is the truth or this is some kind of pretense. We play, we play all the time. And in this way, we attract upon ourselves the upper light, a special energy, global, cosmic, which would actually make such people out of us!

Comment: Our current role is more or less clear: we are what we are. We see what we are.

My Response: And this is also not the real us! This is also imposed on us. We must discover that we are being played with, that our egoism is controlling us. All this vanity and so on, it’s not us, really.

Question: So what I have in me, pride, vanity, superiority over others, is not me?

Answer: You don’t even know who you are.

Question: Who should I play?

Answer: Yourself as a righteous person. The righteous is the one who justifies all. Everyone absolutely. That is, to feel that everything else besides me is absolutely good. And then you get into a very interesting situation!

Question: But how can I justify a rapist, a hater?

Answer: No, no, this is not even a question! It just needs to be done. And you will see that there is no violence and nothing similar to it, nothing at all. We see it all in our distorted qualities.

Question: Is it my ego that’s turning everything upside down around me?

Answer: Yes. So, it’s all very interesting.

Question: Should all of humanity start playing this movie? Or does it start with a small group?

Answer: Naturally, from a small group, as usual. But, in principle, it should spread out.

We must understand that if we do not seek to change ourselves, it will end badly. There will be such irreversible changes with humanity that will awaken it again, perhaps, in many thousands of years.

Question: If we ourselves do not strive to play the role of the righteous?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What would you answer if you were asked what is the thought that you would like humanity to remember?

Answer: That there is really only the Creator and nothing but Him.

The Creator is nature, the upper force of nature, the upper intelligence of nature, only He exists and nothing but Him.

Question: Are the people everything? Us?

Answer: There is none of this.

Question: What about this thought?

Answer: This is the central, global thought and plan of all of nature.

Question: Why is it necessary for a person to come to this thought?

Answer: So that he would hear it, begin to explore it somehow, and come to it himself. This is very valuable.

Question: Do I exist? The one who thinks that there is a Creator?

Answer: No. There is none else besides Him.

Question: No one else but the Creator? Is this a law of nature?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: Recently, the topic of the evil eye has been given a lot of attention because the hatred of man for man has increased. And a person is afraid of the evil eye. At the same time, scientists still claim that this does not exist, that it is all invented.

My Response: No, I don’t agree with them!

Question: People hang all sorts of keychains from the evil eye. There are online tutorials on how to prepare such a keychain, and how to make an amulet from the evil eye. It is known that this is thousands of years old. Do you think there is an evil eye or not?

Answer: Yes. But it’s not such an evil eye that I looked at you in some special way. By our desire, we are all bound together in one great common desire, which the Creator created, and so we can influence each other with our desires, each from his own level where the root of his soul comes from. Therefore, by thinking ill of others, I hurt myself and hurt them. I do harm because I act through my desire.

Question: Is this happening unwittingly?

Answer: Yes, of course. People don’t know that. Why is our world so bad? Because people think that way about each other!

Question: From the fact that they sort of flatten out the other?

Answer: Sure. Does anyone wish the others well? It turns out that our whole world lives only on the evil eye. On disgust, on the rejection of people from each other.

The eye is the highest organ: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch are the five senses. And vision is the highest of them.
And so we have to worry about looking at each other correctly, that is, treating each other correctly.

Comment: You just said that our whole world is built on the evil eye.

My Response: Where have you seen a normal human-to-human relationship? Only in the negative direction!

Initially, we are not attuned for good. We are not initially set up for the right attitude to each other. We put on such conditions that if he treats me well, then I will treat him correctly, and so on. But initially I have no kindness for others. Why on earth would I? Why should I treat others well? I speak like a normal person in this world. This can’t be happening!

Man is made of evil! Man is evil! So, you can’t get away from it. Only education can lift him out of this egoistic, envious swamp, pull him out by the ears, bathe him, dry him well, hang him by the ears in the sun, so that it will dry him out well. And after that, you can start filling him with something good.

Question: Then this whole science of correction, called Kabbalah, is about how we can translate these evil thoughts, the evil view on which our world exists, into a good view?

Answer: Yes.

Question: It is about how to raise a person from this world to the world of a kind view, kindness?

Answer: Yes. This will already be a spiritual world. The upper world.

And our world is created in evil alone. Just evil, because a person relates everything only to himself, whether it makes me feel good or bad, consciously or subconsciously, unconsciously.

Question: If I am like this and I can’t change, what is the process of education that you keep talking about?

Answer: It’s about making you change so that you will draw upon yourself the positive force of nature, which is called the Creator, which will begin to correct your negative force.

Question: So we always say that in order to do this, we must understand that there is only a negative force in me? And hate it, really? Is this the starting point? Then I’ll want the good force.

Answer: Yes. That’s it!

This good force is all around us. Absolutely fills the entire space! Only we push it away, we don’t want it. We are specially created to rise above ourselves, to get out of ourselves, to this common force.

Question: Then we still have to understand that at ground level, in this world, we can’t do anything ourselves with these hands, with this head?

Answer: Nothing.

Comment: And all our attempts now to make a better society, a better world…

My Response: It’s the same toys again.

Comment: And humanity is still looking for some earthly leader.

My Response: It doesn’t know how to use the forces of nature! Meaning what Kabbalah gives us, and what Kabbalah explains to us. Kabbalah tells us how to get to this positive force of nature, to attract it constantly to ourselves and thereby, change the world. What does peace mean? What I see and feel around me, either with my evil eye or with my good eye, is what I call the world.

So, how do I change my evil attitude to the world for a good one? This is the whole science of Kabbalah, the science of getting the right impression of the place where you are, of this world.

Question:  Are the evil eye and corruption different things?

Answer: Corruption is a bad attitude toward everyone else, with the help of which I really bring a lot of damage to the system of forces that surrounds us, in which we are, like in a web, connected to each other.

I am already doing this deliberately. If I deliberately treat others with evil, I bring evil force into our mutual relations, I damage the world with it.

Question: Is it coming back to me that I’m deliberately ruining the world?

Answer: Yes, it is comes back to me.

Comment: That is, if in the evil eye we say: “touch wood, so as not to jinx,” that is, a person feels that something bad comes from him, then in the corruption I do not knock on the table, I go straight to kill him.

My Response: You concentrate all your evil on doing evil to another. By this you spoil the system of forces, this web in which you are placed, and it comes back to you. But it comes back through a thousand different paths, so you can’t connect it with your evil eye, which you turned on.

A person must learn to properly master the positive and negative forces. He can control them and make the world around him perfect and himself eternal.

Question: You said that everything is inside me and to change something in the outside world, I need to change something within myself. What does it mean to “change within myself”? Should I change myself or my attitude toward others? After all, I am not alone here.

Answer: Yet, the desires are yours and you can change them either in relation to yourself or in relation to the inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature and people, and all of them in relation to the Creator. That is, you choose what kind of desire you want to use and to what you want to relate.

If you want to use all your desires with the correct intention, with a good attitude to everyone, starting with the inanimate world, with ecology, with what we today call inanimate, vegetative, and animate, and then even more so, to people, then you are changing the world.

According to your desires, you begin to pay attention to general nature. You feel in it its great force, the Creator, and ask Him to begin to change His attitude to the world at your request, at your will. In this way, you can observe how the world really changes.

If we want to make our desire similar to the Creator, then we evaluate everything only according to one principle: everything that is for our own sake we hate and everything that is for the sake of bestowal we love.

Only in this light do we see the whole reality and not different colors and sounds. We do not care if they are pleasant or unpleasant, but what matters is whether it is bestowal or reception.

If it is bestowal, then it is loved and attractive, and if it is reception, then it is hated and repulsive. And only in this form will I move from the screen on which I see this world to the screen of the upper world and begin to see reality in its true, correct form.

Question: There are five ways to survive difficult times when you feel so bad that you do not know what to do.

The first way is to train yourself to be happy. They say it is a habit to be happy. What do you think?

Answer: I think this is absolutely correct.

Question: Can you train yourself to be happy despite the fact that you receive blows from all directions?

Answer: So what? There are some circumstances, some forces that give you blows. Sing. Just sing! This is the most important thing for a person. Because he does not really know what is good and what is bad, how to treat life correctly, how to change his life, and whether what comes is for his benefit or for harm.

Therefore, he must accept all this as good and treat everything that happens as a necessary good. Then how can he relate to it? Sing!

As in the song: “Wake up and sing! Wake up and sing! Try it for once in your life…”

Comment: The second way is to understand that the bad is just as valuable as the good?

My Response: Absolutely! Nothing is either good or bad, but only relative to the person. If a person slightly changes his inner calibration, he will see the good instead of all the bad. And perhaps, the other way around.

Comment: That is, they say that there is value in the bad. It turns out that the bad is my achievement.

My Response: Of course. There cannot be any good without bad, or bad without good. We must teach ourselves to treat everything correctly. It is because beyond our comprehension and classification of bad and good, we must accept that the entire world is just absolute good!

Question: What do I achieve when something bad comes and I feel it like a bad thing?

Answer: Through that you achieve an objective view of the world. You rise above your egoistic evaluation, and therefore you think that everything is good and there is nothing in the world but only the force of good, the absolute good!

To look at the world in this way is truly a happiness and a great opportunity.

Question: Is this possible?

Answer: This is possible!

Comment: The third: it is better to give up than to bang your head against the wall.

There are some circumstances that you cannot do anything about. Nothing! But you fight all the time, you still fight and try to prove your point, to turn something around. These are ways to get through difficult times, that is, I want to get through this difficult time.

My Response: Best of all is, as Rabbi Akiva said, to lower your head under each approaching wave, and thus you will be washed ashore.

I do not call this “to give up.” I call this “to be reasonable about what is happening.”

Comment: Fourth: shift your focus from yourself to others.

My Response: It is not a bad thing to pay attention to others and see that their condition, in general, is no better than mine. Why do I pay attention only to myself? Why do I criticize the attitude of nature or society toward me? What happens to the others?

If I look at society, I already perceive myself in a completely different way. That is, the suffering of society reduces my own suffering. Pay attention to what is happening to society, and then you will be able to evaluate your condition more objectively.

Question: Can I, when I feel bad and am in a difficult situation, come to have compassion for the other?

Answer: You are more capable of it. Because then you begin to understand what others have and to sympathize and come closer to them.

Question: Is this called that I exit myself a little?

Answer: Yes. But this is not to escape from your own suffering. This is in order to adjust yourself more objectively to what is happening in the world.

Question: Is the attitude to others objective?

Answer: Of course. You can already look at them in a different way.

Comment: Fifth: to love, not to fear. That is what they say. In the end, all emotions are reduced to two main ones: love and fear. Moreover, love and fear cannot exist in the soul at the same time. If you choose to love, you expel fear out of your soul.

My Response: Absolutely. Love supersedes everything. Therefore, it is important to try to replace all our other feelings with it.

Question: That is, I can really be afraid, be in fear, and I can exit it into the state of love, right?

Answer: Yes. And you will not experience any negative feelings at all.

Comment: It looks like this is the main advice, actually.

My Response: Yes.

Question: Is this also possible? Is it within the power of a person?

Answer: Absolutely! So we figured out how to live correctly.

If we could go beyond our narrowly focused intention—to do everything only for our own sake (consciously and subconsciously, by any effort, by force, by all means)—we would begin to feel the world not with our five senses, but as if through the senses of someone else.

The perception of the world through other people’s sensory organs gives us a completely different picture—non-egoistic, above the egoistic one, which we call the upper world. After all, to the extent that we begin to exit ourselves, exit our intention for our own sake and integrate into intention not for our own sake, we discover that previously we were serving the force for our own sake and now we are serving the force for the sake of others.

Intention for the sake of others is called Lishma.

When we acquire this intention, we begin to see the world differently, not depending on us, on our existence, on our actions and desires. This world is called the upper world. Why? We begin to see forces, actions that are above us, higher than us, outside of us because they are not limited by our narrow egoism.

This opportunity to act in an absolute form not for our own sake, which is called Lishma, takes us to the degree of eternity, perfection and gives us the opportunity to exist in a different world, in a different space.

Question: Where is the Creator here?

Answer: The Creator is the general force of bestowal and love, which in this case is revealed to a person since he begins to acquire it outside of himself. To this extent, partially, he becomes more and more acquainted with this great field, the great force that surrounds him in a new dimension, in a new world, which is called the Creator.

Question: Is it my thought or the Creator’s thought that turns me from one desire to another? How can I be sure that I do not exchange a cow for a donkey?

Answer: Everything depends on the right response to what happens. This is how the Creator paints the picture of the universe for you. In fact, there is nothing in it, nothing exists.

All the inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human levels of nature, everything that you see before you, are merely a reflection of your brain, which is based on four phases of the desire that draw all these objects for you.

Therefore it all depends on how you will perceive it. Take note of this and begin to gradually master the perception of reality in this way.

Comment: The pain that we feel physically goes all the way to consciousness through the brain. And the intensity of the pain depends on my attitude to it.

In the burn department of a hospital in Illinois, virtual reality is used: When changing bandages for patients, the patients wear virtual glasses. And instead of thinking about burns, they play with snowballs, and the pain is reduced.

Right now, humanity is in pain. It becomes physical. What should a person think about in order to reduce this pain or somehow cancel it? What “virtual glasses” should I wear?

My Response: I think the best thing is to think about how nature is leading us to a brighter future. The most beautiful thing in our time is that there are no personalities in history here, but nature itself takes us and kneads us like this, like dough.

Question: So in order to cope with this pain, what do I have to realize?

Answer: Realize what nature does. It leads us by its plan. For the first time in the history of mankind, nature simply takes us by the ear, like a boy, and leads us forward to the right place.

Question: That is, if at the moment of this pain that I am experiencing now, I begin to build this reality that it is nature that leads us all to a very bright future, to a good relationship, to a world of light, a world of warmth, then my pain will begin to decrease?

Answer: It will stop! Because the pain depends on the fact that you do not see the goal ahead. And if there is a goal, then the goal must absorb the pain.

When we do things, they can be pleasant or unpleasant. If we examine our body, we will see that there is no difference between pleasure and suffering. In the feeling inside the person, no difference. It is only in his idea of what it leads to, what it is.

Question: And then the suffering begins, that it all leads me to the end, I will disappear and that’s it?

Answer: Absolutely. And if you imagine that this leads you to a huge gain, to pleasure, then you are ready not only to endure it, you are ready to prolong it and even enjoy it.

Why am I saying this? It all depends on how we set up society. We have a relatively small problem here. If society is set up in such a way that nature itself leads us to a good future, to an arrangement, to a life without problems, if we show such films, such pictures of the future, then people will be able to experience all this relatively easily.

Question: So the pain will stop then and they will start moving toward this future?

Answer: Yes, and we do not deceive them. People went into battle to the death for the future, for the sake of imaginary values that people invented. And here is nature itself.

It is a movement toward the equivalence of nature. To the integral universal relation, connection. This means that a person will exist in the most comfortable environment. It’s a billion times better than in the womb, because you know it.

All of nature, all of humanity, all that exists in the cosmos and in all the worlds, all this surrounds you with a good wrapping.

Question: And this scenario should be built?

Answer: We are approaching it, in fact, but we can accelerate this movement.

Question: Is this what pain is given to a person for?

Answer: Otherwise, he wouldn’t have realized. A person can only attain one thing from the other. Therefore, now we feel confusion, pain, and so on, in order to rise above it and feel truly connected, love, and perfection.

Question: Is this what it is called to rise above the pain?

Answer: Yes.
