Question: Now, at the very beginning of the congress, we feel great trembling of what awaits us. We do not know what it will be yet, but we expect it to be something beautiful, strong, and powerful that we will enter into. We feel that the Creator has been helping us all this time. He is with us now, and this is also felt; otherwise, where would this trembling come from?

What should we do with this desire and how do we properly direct it in order to find the closest path to the Creator?

Answer: First of all, I would like to congratulate all of us on this global gathering, on the connection, on the congress, on the direct line between all our hearts! I hope that we are all in inner prayer so that our efforts will really lead to the melting of all hearts into one single heart and that we will feel in it the Creator who has actually prepared and created all this. I hope that we will feel our gathering through this.

There is nothing more important than connection because it is in it that the correction of a broken Kli arises. And when—out of the shattering and huge, huge separation, the separation of desires, that is, hearts—we can once again come to unity over all contradictions, over all conflicts and distances, then we will feel the power of the upper world, the Creator, and that He has prepared for us to realize and attain both in feelings and in reason.

I hope that at our gathering we will make a big step forward. I am very glad that you are meeting together and that there is a huge number of our friends in the Baltic States, in Moscow, in Germany, Bulgaria and so on. In general, it is so that we will all have a lot of help from above. We want to unite! We desire this gathering and its great success.

The most important thing in our gathering is a prayer, an appeal to the Creator to help us feel the love of our friends so that all friends become close to my heart despite the egoistic shell that surrounds it and does not allow love to enter into it, which is the feeling of closeness of my friends. That is where we need to make an effort.

We need only a prayer to the Creator, a request to the Creator, so that He will allow the love of friends for me and mine for them to break this shell and connect with all our friends around the world who are close to us in spirit. This is, of course, the most important thing that we would like to achieve as a consequence of our Baltic Congress.

Question: We are very eager to love our friends and to work in the center of the ten. How, based on this, can we pray for all the friends in Arava? I know you are saying, “You must try.” Maybe you can share your experience because we are going through a new state?

Answer: Prayer can happen in the case where you build the desired state that is in front of you for yourself, and you can reach it. In fact, that is a prayer.

Prayer should be in feeling, when you literally approach this state and build it in your imagination, feeling, mind, in everything you can, you literally put it in front of you and enter into it, and want to live in it.

Therefore, you should try hard. Try all together. We just need to see that these things should already materialize so that we can live by this.

Question: What should be the main task of women during this congress of connection? How do we pray? How do we keep the intention? How do we help the men? How can we be in a unified state?

Answer: Women really know how to pray, they know how to ask. It is very important that they participate and add their prayers to ours.

We know how much a woman can support, push, and direct a man to the right goal. So I think their participation with us is simply a necessity. I am very glad that they are with us. Only together.

In the News (Financial Times): “‘Japanese start-up wants to cause real-life pain in the metaverse’ 

“H2L’s technology replicates the sensation of touch by using electrical stimulation to manipulate the arm muscles and mimic sensations… 

“’Feeling pain enables us to turn the metaverse world into a real [world], with increased feelings of presence and immersion,’ said Emi Tamaki, chief executive and co-founder of the Tokyo-based company.”  

Question: How do you like this idea?

Answer: In principle, of course, controlling a person with pain is a thing as old as the world.

Question: But to create reality, meta reality, as if taking a person away from this pain into another pain? In pain again?

Answer: Naturally. We can’t do without it. Otherwise, we cannot define ourselves —where we are, who I am, and whether I exist at all. If you remove sensations of pain from a person, everything will disappear.

I’m sitting in an armchair right now. The armchair presses on me, I feel pain, pressure. And the pressure feels good to me. But this is, in principle, a small pain.

And if I pass a certain pain threshold, then I begin to feel that it is unpleasant for me. Then I have to move away from this object, from this source.

And so I am controlled everywhere and in everything: from cold and hunger, heat, pressure, everything! That’s how I’ve been led primitively from pain to non-pain in every dimension, in every relationship.

Question: So you think what they are doing is right? Is it necessary to introduce pain even into virtual reality?

Answer: Otherwise it will not be a reality, even virtual.

Question: You are always talking about the passage of a person into the spiritual spheres, into the spiritual world. Is there pain there?

Answer: Yes, of course. If there is a feeling of “plus and minus,” then there is pain and pleasure. The pain of being far from the Creator and the pleasure of being closer to Him. It’s very simple. But, in principle, the parameters are the same.

Question: Can we say that this is the root of all the pains in our world: my remoteness from the Creator or my closeness?

Answer: Yes, of course.

Question: And what we are going through here in this world is our withdrawal from the Creator?

Answer: Yes, it teaches us how we can approach Him.

Question: And all these crazy wars, are they all from the same sphere?

Answer: Yes, of course. Inevitably. This is the only way to teach a person.

Question: How can we make all this turn into different pain in our world?

Answer: In our world, we can do it very simply. Each of us has to put ourselves in a very clear direction. If I get closer to others, and through them to the Creator, then I have to imagine it as pleasure. If I move away from the connection with others and thus from the Creator, I feel pain. That’s the state I need to come to. This will be called the revelation of the spiritual relationship.

Question: In principle, is this a way of revealing the Creator, which means the gradual disappearance of wars, suffering, tragedies, so to say, from me, from this world?

Answer: I don’t even think about it. I think about how I can get closer to others and through them to the Creator, so that it will be my pleasure.

Question: Then reveal the secret, please, how to get pleasure from connection with others?

Answer: Ask the Creator, there is nothing else. There is no other action that will help you.

Question: There is only prayer in this world so that I can get closer to others and so get closer to the Creator. Maybe there is another way?

Answer: No, you can’t. It won’t do much here. You’ll be turning as if you’re in a frying pan but not going anywhere.

A letter from a viewer: “Some time ago, I was given the opportunity to feel an amazing sense of wholeness and peace with everything that exists. I included within myself everything in the world and beyond the world. I am a healthy person, have never taken anything, and work as a medical psychologist in a clinic where every day I help people with various severe psychological conditions. That is why I know what Kabbalah is talking about, about the power that leads us from above. But I cannot agree with the methods of the upper force: rude, ruthless, inhumane. What to do, how to live? It hurts terribly.”

Answer: Write a complaint to it: “That’s it! I cannot do anything.” Shout, complain.

Question: Are you in favor of direct, permanent communication?

Answer: When a person starts writing, he will realize that he has nothing to write about, that he simply does not understand the governance from above. No matter how ruthless and strict it may be, illogical and so on, he will simply understand not that there is no one to write to, but that there is nothing to write about. That, obviously, everything is already imprinted in him from the very beginning.

Question: Does this feeling of ruthlessness and so on, exist in the person himself and there is no such thing around him, so to say?

Answer: Of course not.

Question: So, what you are saying is: “You need to write.” The conclusion is: Do I need to write, demand? What will happen? What should I write on this piece of paper or in this note?

Answer: Write letters to the Creator. You write precisely like this: the first letter, the second. Just do not destroy them. The first letter, the second, the third, and so on. Then see what happens. You can publish a book.

Question: Are you suggesting physically to write it? Just take a pen and write?

Answer: Physically. It is good. It is better not on a computer, but with a pen. Then you will see who is leading your hand.

Question: Just to pour out all the tears all on a piece of paper?

Answer: Everything. Let everything be there.

Question: Does a person get answers at all?

Answer: He will get an answer then. He will write with tears and blood and will receive an answer.

Question: What should one ask for when he writes? What should one ask from the upper force, from the Creator?

Answer: To be in agreement with Him, nothing else: “Give me the strength to be in agreement with You because otherwise, I curse You.” After that, wherever it will go, wherever the hand will lead.

Rabash writes that if a person prays for himself, then he elicits punishment on himself by this action because he thinks about himself and not about others.

How can you, while in an integrated system, think about yourself? This completely negates its integrality.

You should only pray for the things that are most necessary for you, that make it possible to exist and maintain the integrality of the whole system. Then it is called necessary and sufficient.

Question: What is the difference between group prayer and individual prayer?

Answer: There is neither group nor individual prayer. A person always prays through others, for others. There is no other prayer.

Prayer only for oneself does not give anything, it is just a voice crying in the desert.

Comment: But a person usually prays for himself.

My Response: There is nothing to even say about it. People who come to us do so at first. But they are new comers and the light takes this into account. Then the light gradually brings a person to a state where he feels that all his prayers should be for connection, through connection, only in connection, in order to lose himself in global unity.

Question: How can one pray through a group?

Answer: Prayer is a request. You can use any words, any thoughts. It comes from within. How is it possible to explain how to pray? It is felt in the heart.

You do not have to say any words or perform any actions. You must bring yourself to a state where you will have the most correct desires at the moment in the course of your development. If they are correct, they will invite maximum reforming light upon you, and it will lead you further.

At every given moment when you reveal your desire for correction, correction descends upon you. The next moment you reveal again the desire for correction and the correction comes.

This desire should not be artificial because you create such a strong inner tension, such a desire for unity, for being similar to the light, that it begins to influence your desire and correct it.

The entire chain of human development consists of this alternation of your aspiration for correction and the response of the light.

Comment: “Luck” in Hebrew is “mazal,” which means “drops”—from the word “nozel,” “drip.”

My Response: Luck seems to be dripping from above. It comes unexpectedly. A person does not even suspect that luck will fall on his head and suddenly it manifests itself.

Question: If a person prays to the upper force for good luck in business or in marriage, does it have an effect?

Answer: Yes, it does. We must pray, we must ask.

Comment: Yulia writes: “I feel disconnected, weak in this world, unable to protect my loved ones, to help them. You say that prayer is the most powerful weapon. I have it in me, and it is precisely about peace, about the good connection between people, about what we lack so much today. But I have a strange feeling: I am starting to fear that the more you ask for it, the worse it gets, the closer we get to the fiery pit where we can all perish. And I am already afraid to ask. What should I do?”

My Response: No, you need to ask. It is necessary to ask, for people to understand how to reach goodness. We lack only one thing in this world: the manifestation of goodness, some example of goodness so that we feel this example and envy that there are such actions in the world that are called goodness. And we do not see them, absolutely do not see them. There is a lot of goodness in the world, all around.

But where, how, who, to whom, what? I do not see since with my egoistic eyes I cannot see it. That is what we need. At least ask for yourself to be kind. Ask for it.

This is the most important quality of the Creator. In this way, we are coming closer to the quality of the Creator, the quality of love.
