Question: What has happened to humanity? We used to want to study, get degrees, become directors, and earn money!

Answer: But why? We are aware of the uselessness of all these tensions.

People still play sports. They climb mountains and do other things, hold competitions in fashion, in sports, and in everything else. That too will pass.

The most important question is why?

Comment: He will kill everything.

My Response: Yes, and humanity will calm down. And what will happen? Nothing. We will simply relate to each other.

Question: This is unclear. What does it mean “simply relate to each other”?

Answer: Simply, meaning in such a way that you do not cause anyone any negative feelings.

Question: Not to evoke hatred toward yourself?

Answer: Calmness! Just get your salary and spend the day as you wish. You will have enough time and desire to get used to this world and learn how to behave in it.

Comment: So the demand for more money, a bigger house, a pool in the yard…

My Response: There will be none of that. A person will begin to understand that he must live within his sensations, in a movement toward the correct attitude with others, an internal movement. And then a person who care about one’s specialty, salary, or anything.

If I have such an attitude toward others and I feel that others have the same attitude toward me, this mutual good network of forces between us, I feel it, I live in it. That is my work, I exist in it and so do all the others.

We only develop these mutual sensations of ours, without any effort. It should be without effort! This is how I treat others and others treat me, and everything freezes. And only that is the only feeling you perceive.

Question: And when you say: overcome our egoism, rise above egoism?

Answer: It is all inside. Just calm down.

Question: And it will be so calm? I always have the feeling that a person must make enormous efforts.

Answer: No, no, nothing! Quite the opposite. Why? If we relate to it correctly, then the upper light, which is in absolute rest, it will do everything. Just don’t worry. Just don’t interfere. “The Creator will finish it for me.” It is that simple.

Question: Harvard University, Princeton, etc. will not be needed?

Answer: No, nothing at all is needed.

Question: And studies, higher education, second, and third degrees?

Answer: No, not needed.

Comment: Humanity built all this for so long.

My Response: It was in order to define its mistakes.

Question: What will humanity come to?

Answer: To a peaceful, inner mutual balance. And in it, the connection between us will be revealed as complete and peaceful. In the stillness of these waters, we will come to the point that we will see through them the Creator.

In the Torah, this was formulated thousands of years ago: “It is preferable to sit and do nothing.”

Question: What does “do nothing” mean?

Answer: Do nothing! Do it so that from doing nothing, you have everything. You will see it is possible.

Question: So I will have food, something to feed the family with?

Answer: To the extent that it is necessary for you, you will work. But it will not be labor. It will simply be an occupation.

Question: It is not like I go to work suffering, hate it, and still go?

Answer: You will not be rushing around and suffering in traffic jams, none of that will happen.

Question: Will this thought penetrate? “What is enough is enough for me, and I do not need more.”

Answer: It will come gradually, but it will also come quickly.

Question: You often say that we should not confuse our work with the work of the Creator, not to take on His work. What does this mean?

Answer: Our work is directed toward feeling an acute lack for the Creator to carry out each next action upon us. And nothing more. After all, all spiritual work is the work of the Creator. It is even called “the work of the Creator.”

But does a person do nothing? He makes efforts in his desires so that the Creator (the light) would work on him.

I want to see everything in this world that can be seen and achieve everything in it that can be achieved. In the spiritual realm, that is not a problem. But to embody spirituality in this world, that is the real task.

I am not concerned with how long I live. I want to see the world accept the wisdom of Kabbalah as the method for its continued existence, a method for rising from temporary life on Earth into another dimension: the spiritual one.

When people begin to feel this, to accept this theory and way of life, when they come to see that they must rise to the next stage, that this entire world we currently perceive and experience is a kind of construct that exists only in order to ascend above it, when they accept what Baal HaSulam and my teacher, his eldest son Rabash, have prepared for them, then that will truly be the straight path to the light.

But until then, who knows what suffering humanity may still have to endure? One way or another, it will reach this conclusion, but whether it happens with minimal pain, that, no one knows.

That is why I would like to be present in all the decisions and help humanity take its first steps toward accepting Kabbalah as the method for its final development.

Question: When a Kabbalist transitions to another dimension, can he observe what is happening in this world without his body; meaning, can he observe the process from the side and influence it?

Answer: Naturally! But not in the form of bodies, but in the form of forces.
You see bodies. For example, right now you see me on your computer screen. But what if you could see me, not on the screen, but inside the hard drive? That is where all the information is!

Why do you need to look at the monitor at all? Look straight at the hard drive! That is all. Why do you need five senses? Why do you need these “casings and coverings”? Inside the electrons, that is where the upper spiritual life is. That is how a Kabbalist sees.

There is a complete picture, and it is all in spirituality. Our world is included within spirituality.

For example, when we talk about small children, we speak about their desires, efforts, and qualities and not their outer appearance. We speak from the level at which they are relevant to us, the level on which they connect with us.

So all the attributes of our world are completely absent in the spiritual world. In the spiritual world, we perceive only egoistic forces.

Comment: But on the other hand, you always bring the spiritual world down to the level of our world.

My Response: That is because there is no real difference! The only difference is in how a person perceives: one sees this way, another sees that way. But the worlds themselves, they do not exist.

Question: Right now, we are speaking through a screen, not telepathically. We are communicating, and this information is somehow reaching others. Why must it be this way?

Answer: So that we understand the necessity of the connection between us and begin to truly want to unite!

Question: How is a mega-congress different from other congresses?

Answer: A mega-congress is a unified gathering of all people on Earth. We are trying to bring as many people as possible into unity—those who are unaware, in disagreement, indifferent, neutral, or far from anything spiritual—so they can discover that this exists and begin to understand the roots of their personal misfortunes and the global suffering in the world.

We want them to begin to sense the idea of a unified direction of humanity, society, and all of nature.

After all, we are entering a streak of failures that is systemic in nature, and we need to understand it. Why keep trying to run away from it? There are volcanoes here, droughts there, floods, terrorism, war, or other crises.

These problems need to be solved! After all, we are rational beings. So, let’s try to understand the world we live in.

Science has practically given up on this already. Politicians can’t do anything either; we see that from the outcomes of their summits, nor can the financiers. They are just trying to steal as much as possible before the end, while no one knows or understands what is coming next.

People have lost all sense of direction; they have no strength left to do anything. We have become ungovernable, and we no longer control anything ourselves. In other words, our egoism has ceased to be the driving force that guides us and allows us to manage our lives. Now, it no longer works.

Only interconnectedness, global unity, and the closed nature of the whole system can guide our lives now. This needs to be studied.

We must rewire our thinking, like a crew in a submarine facing danger working together to survive. They are specially trained to be united, to sense one another, and to understand that their personal survival depends entirely on the success of the whole.

Question: Can an egoist that is not in spiritual attainment relate adequately to his egoism? Can he clearly see the manifestations of egoism, not fall under its influence, and regulate the process?

Answer: Yes and no. He experiences ascents and descents and even at the highest levels, the ego can suddenly take over. “Do not trust yourself until the complete death of egoism” is our motto.

Question: Can those who study Kabbalah at least somehow determine where egoism played out and where some other part is? Or is it all sheer egoism?

Answer: It doesn’t matter. But at high levels he knows, understands, and is aware of it. And still, knowing and being aware, you see how the ego plays with you. This is a study of nature, of what the Creator has made. Essentially, a Kabbalist is like a walking laboratory testing everything on himself.

Comment: This is a very interesting process.

My Response: Yes, because you include the whole world within yourself!

We are at a turning point between two very serious epochs. There are only two of them. This is not what it was before and will be in the future. This is a transition from the world of the sole rule of egoism in everyone, in groups, in states, and in civilizations to a common, global, unified world, as it should be.

In principle, only man is a violator of this globality. The rest of nature is completely controlled from above, there is no way for it to change itself in anything and there is no need to. Humans are the only creation that are opposite to all others and represent an object that must change itself, on its own, intelligently.

So, we have a special time. We have a special task. Over the course of many incarnations of our lives we have come to a point where we need to solve this problem.

I am happy that we are in such a generation. We really have all the tools to solve this and move forward beautifully, easily, and freely, not with a stick to happiness, but with the awareness of a great task, a great dream, and a great fortune that we are now revealing.

This is not some kind of sky-high idea, but a very real idea that speaks about the whole of nature, tells us in a clear, scientific style what we can do, why and how. We should be happy that we have this opportunity.

Question: I heard when one of your students said that “I am trying, I am asking,” you responded: “You are asking poorly.”

What is the correct request to the Creator? What state must a person reach in order to truly ask the Creator for correction?

Answer: A true request consists of several conditions.

The first condition is that I am desperately missing something specific, and I know exactly what it is. At the same time, I cannot replace my request with anything else; it is so urgent that it would be better to die than not to receive it.

The second condition is whom to turn to, from whom to ask. That is, it is not enough that I lack something, I must know exactly who has it. In other words, there is a source from which I can receive. I need to identify Him and know precisely that exactly what I need is there, one to one.

The third condition is to be certain that this source responds to me. It is not just a wall that I will bang my head against and achieve nothing. It is a source that perhaps is even waiting for me to turn to Him. He has a kind heart, a kind attitude toward me, and He is just waiting for me to turn to Him. But first of all is to turn specifically to Him and secondly with the most urgent request.

In addition, it is possible that He has another condition, that I should rejoice at the opportunity to turn to Him because thanks to my realization that exactly He has what I desire, I have found Him. That is the most important thing! Because my entire hunger and what He has to satisfy my hunger is merely a reason to establish contact with Him.

That is when the request is genuine. That is, it is not for the sake of quenching hunger and getting something from Him but in order to connect with Him, above hunger and its satisfaction. Then this request will truly bring its result, the unification between us.

Comment: Most often, a person wants to feel good. Let us say that if he is sick or has some problems, he subconsciously says, “Yes, I want to receive support from the upper force in order to overcome this obstacle,” although deep inside, within his soul, he thinks about how to make himself feel better.

My Response: Only at first, it means that it is still an unformed desire.

Then gradually, from the depths of suffering he begins to realize their depth and their causality, that they are not meant for him to suffer, and their satisfaction is not an end in itself. After all, then what is the point of this life? To suffer and to relieve suffering? Is that really the meaning of existence?!

The meaning of existence is to rise above this life and use it as a means to reach a higher level.
Otherwise what? I am being beaten, I run away. I am beaten, I am getting treatment. And that is what life is all about?! This is a completely wrong way of looking at the world.

That is why Kabbalah says that we must reveal the source of our sufferings and why He sends them to us so that we can connect to Him. Otherwise, we will not be awakened to this connection with Him. And later we will be grateful for this.

Is it possible without it? No, it is impossible.

Question: Do all the inner qualities of a person become stronger when one studies Kabbalah?

Answer: Naturally. At first a person becomes a huge egoist, even more so than others, because they reveal their true ego, not the small, animalistic egoism that everyone has.

If you ask someone on the street whether they are an egoist, they will say: “No, I am a normal person. Of course I care primarily about my family, children, and loved ones, then about my city, my country, and beyond that about all of humanity. Naturally, there are different circles of concern, but I am not an egoist. I want everyone to be well because I am sure that if everyone is well, then I will be well too.”

In other words, people justify themselves. And only those who study Kabbalah begin to see that, in reality, they hate everyone and are only looking for ways to use them.
