Kabbalah is a sensory transmission of information. The terms used in it are not found in any language. They are not even taken from Hebrew, but from the language of the wisdom of Kabbalah. Therefore we take such Kabbalistic definitions as Sefirot, Partzufim, Reshimot, etc. into any language.

Question: Are you saying that this is not Hebrew?

Answer: Of course, it is not Hebrew. Partzuf is “a face” in Hebrew and in Kabbalah it is the structure of a spiritual object.

Comment: But the word is still the same, and it is used in Hebrew.

My Response: Yes, but it has a completely different meaning, even a different root. For example, “Reshimot“. In Hebrew, of course, there is the word “Roshem,” “Reshima”—“record,” “list,” but in Kabbalah, the word “Reshimo” means information.

Or, for example, a screen, Masach: of course, there is a computer screen, a TV screen, which is “Masach,” and there is Masach—in the soul. But “Masach in the soul” has a completely different meaning—“to act.” That is, the language of Kabbalah means that it is detached from all other languages ​​and from all of us.

What difference does it make whether you speak your native language or Hebrew or English? If you are an egoist, then you speak an egoistic language. And if you have already acquired the qualities of bestowal and love, then you speak an altruistic language, and this is the language of Kabbalah. That is, the meaning is completely different in every word, in every definition.

Question: Until a certain time, all congresses were related to the preparation period. And now the congresses mark a new period—a period of correction. Everyone feels something new is emerging. What is it and how can we make the most of this state?

Answer: The world does not yet understand that it is at a completely new stage of development that is marked by qualitative changes.

The period of the previous egoistic development of the world has ended. The old paradigm is over; the paradigm where the more power, money, and knowledge means that you have more confidence in the future, more power, wealth, and everything else.

All these selfish accumulations, values, power, and achievements mean nothing in the new world because strength and success are defined differently in it. They are determined by the measure of correct interaction between the parts of creation, between all parts of nature.

We are already seeing this in ecology, in society, and between countries—everywhere. That is, one who knows how to interact with everyone correctly will survive and succeed. This is a law of global nature, and we have now entered this new phase.

For example, a child up to a certain age, say up to three or four years old, does not feel other children. They only present an opportunity to take something away from them, that is all. He does not understand the possibility of communicating with them.

But starting from the age of four or five, he makes friends. He plays with them, wants to get closer to his friends, and do something together. He is slowly moving away from nannies and gets closer to his friends.

From that point on, friends take on a very important place in the children’s environment. Then leaders are formed, all kinds of divisions into groups, subgroups, and so on. That is, a person is already becoming social.

Such a transition from individual, egoistic development to social development, which begins at the turn of four or five years of age, is taking place in humanity today.

Now everything will be determined by correct interactions, not by forming alliances as in: “I am against you in an alliance with the rest because I am tougher than you.” No! Namely, the correct, harmonious relationship between the parts of creation in accordance with the general law of nature. That is, we must conform to nature.

And this harmony will force us to become more and more environmentally correct, to fit into the whole picture of nature. Such a holistic approach will be in high demand, otherwise we will not survive.

People will see that all problems—banking, social, political, family—all collapse precisely because we have to move to a new system of relationships.

This system completely contradicts our egoistic, animal approach to nature, to ourselves, and to others. Therefore we will need to transform ourselves, become social, and think that the benefit of society is my benefit, the health of society is my health, and the success of society is my success.

This is so hard! Even impossible! Therefore we will have to break ourselves even more.

First, we must realize this is the case and we cannot escape. We suddenly find ourselves in such a world. So what do we do with it? We must find some hidden forces in nature to help us be in correct communication with nature.

Finding these forces is today’s task of mankind. We do not see them clearly, closely, actually; therefore, we try to escape this very task, that is, “it is impossible to solve, so there is no problem, so we close our eyes.” It will not work! The ostrich policy will not work here because the whole development is moving in this direction.

Kabbalah offers its own method of solution. It does not insist it is correct, and does not impose any dictatorial ways. It only says what it has to offer: “Check me out. See for yourself. And if so, take it and implement it.” That is all.

There are many adults in our world who enjoy watching fairy tales even though they know they are just fairy tales.

Question: Why is that? To escape reality?

Answer: It is more real than our life, actually.

Question: Fairy tales are more real than our life? But what is the reality in a fairy tale?

Answer: That justice is rewarded, loyalty is rewarded.

Question: Is that really so?

Answer: It is, but all this has to go through many twists and turns, through all sorts of corners and labyrinths of our egoism.

Question: So do fairy tales actually tell about what will truly happen?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Will good triumph over evil?

Answer: Definitely. Otherwise, nothing would have begun.

Question: Are fairy tales precisely the ones that end well?

Answer: They all must have a good ending because it is predetermined from the very beginning.

Question: And fairy tales with a bad ending, what about them?

Answer: There is no such thing. That means they are unfinished.

Question: Are they something the author did not finish, did not have time?

Answer: Yes, something remains unsaid.

Comment: So a fairy tale is written…

My Response: From the end. But the good ending must contain the whole structure: the setup, the development, the climax, in short, everything, and necessarily a good ending. It is all conceived from the start.

My conclusion is this: a fairy tale should begin with an introduction. Then there must be some demonstrative process—educational, accusatory, and so on. The characters should fall apart and be dissatisfied with what’s happening: this one wanted to kill and could not, that one wanted to escape and did not manage, these two wanted to marry and it did not work, and so on.

That is, within the whole setup, they cannot figure out who is writing this fairy tale. The Creator! When they gradually despair of their own solutions, each in their own way, and do not know what to do, then they begin to understand that they are under the control of the upper governance, and only then do things start working, coming together. It turns out that this upper governance, this upper force, brings them to the right solution.

Comment: To a good ending. And good triumphs.

My Response: Yes.

Question: Were you actually talking about our time now?

Answer: It is precisely in our time that this upper force begins to reveal itself in various states, when humanity has no other answer to its questions but to say: this is the upper force.

Comment: This not-so-kind fairy tale which humanity sees, starts to shift…

My Response: And then it becomes kind! Because it points you to the highest solution, to the one who started it, who conceived it, started to develop and shape it, and is now about to complete it.

Question: Are we being led to love, to happiness? Straight there?

Answer: Yes!

Question: Why is it that when different people ask you the same question, you give different answers?

Answer: I give one answer, but on different levels. I am not a two-faced Janus, and I am not lying. It depends on who is asking the question and to whom the answer is given: a small child, an adult, a man or a woman, and so on.

That is, there are different versions of the answer. In principle, the answer is one, but its external expressions may vary.

Question: You say that in Kabbalah all your feelings are in Hebrew. When you read Kabbalistic texts in this language or listen to them, how do you perceive them?

Answer: When I read a Kabbalistic text in Hebrew, I perceive it within myself. Just like when you read a text about some situation in our world in Russian, it creates a certain inner picture within you.

It is the same for me when I read a Kabbalistic text. It creates an inner picture in me because I already possess a certain set of qualities that correspond to these words, terms, sentences, and connections.

Therefore, while reading, I assemble this picture inside myself like a mosaic, and it begins to live within me. As I continue through the text, it all shimmers, rotates, connects, and separates within me. The text lives in me and carries out its actions. I feel it as my life experienced in that very moment.

It is similar to when you read fiction and become immersed in the story.

Comment: You say that we have entered a period where the process of correction is already taking place. But to us, it is not noticeable. We do not see anything except that everything is happening more intensively.

My Response: The process of exposing our egoistic nature is indeed happening, and it is becoming clear to everyone. Psychologists, sociologists, and politicians who think about these matters are starting to more or less realize that egoism, which is our very nature, is essentially what is destroying us.

People just think there is no cure for it, and so they throw up their hands and continue living as before: “What can be done? That is just how we are. We will keep devouring each other.”

That is why we need to develop the wisdom of Kabbalah to show people that it is not so. The process has begun, but it must be taken under conscious control and directed toward the goal by ourselves so that nature does not drive us toward happiness “with a stick.” Of course we do not yet see the egoism corrected, but we already see the recognition of egoism as evil. And that is the preliminary stage.

Already several million people around the world are able to hear that the egoism is meant to be corrected so that precisely through it, we ascend to the level of the Creator. If we make an effort to disseminate this knowledge, then by uniting among us, we will break through humanity’s disbelief, emptiness, and laziness, and give people the opportunity to understand that perfection and eternity are attainable, and that we are standing at the threshold of a very serious, elevated process.

We are not beings without a rudder or sails, without a clan or a tribe. We exist within the highest process of nature, within the Creator, who leads us from one end of creation to the other. We are now at a very critical, culminating point from which we can begin to move consciously, revealing worlds before us and feeling ourselves as part of the universe.

I believe that our current state is special. That is what the Kabbalists write. We must try to make these days of humanity more intense, more revealing of the great goal that stands before humanity. It was created by nature, and we will reach it anyway, but now we have the opportunity to consciously and swiftly realize it ourselves.

Question: Do you speak about the correction process not only with regard to the group but to all of humanity?

Answer: To all of humanity. The group is separate. Regarding our international group, which includes hundreds of thousands of people around the world who hear and are already absorbing this, we can say only one thing: this group is already a real spiritual force in the world, not by human standards but by spiritual qualities. If we measure not by numbers but by spiritual qualities, we are the greatest force in the world.

We must respect our community and understand what an opportunity we have to accelerate humanity’s development, to make it pleasant, easy, and inspiring, instead of allowing it to continue in division, anxiety, and fear of world war or ecological disaster.

Comment: In order not to frighten the masses, you cannot reveal everything Kabbalah speaks about. After all, many things are revealed: horoscopes and so on.

My Response: Kabbalah explains the general method of correction, and that is it. What else can it say? It cannot explain why things happen one way to one person and another to someone else.

Question: But did horoscopes originate from Kabbalistic sources?

Answer: No, it was before Kabbalah. Horoscopes go back to very ancient methods of unraveling the path of man in this world; that is, to the most ancient methods of exploring nature and oneself; it has nothing to do with Kabbalah, which was revealed in Ancient Babylon only three and a half thousand years ago.

Comment: But at the same time, it still describes everything that exists in perception of this universe.

My Response: It does not matter. Kabbalah does not ask this question at all; it does not care how the fate of man in our world will turn out in his animate state; it has nothing to do with our body. To us the soul is important, the point in the heart and how to develop it is important.

What is Kabbalah by definition? It is the revelation of the Creator to man in this world. How does the Creator reveal Himself? In desire. Which one? In the one you develop from the point in your heart.

And everything else? Everything else is important only to the extent it applies to this desire, to this point in the heart. As soon as you start going into some kind of horoscopes, into human physiology, into the animal body, this is no longer Kabbalah. Then you should go to the gypsies and fortune tellers, and they will tell you things. By the way, real experts in this field can predict everything correctly.

Question: But in any case, if a person has to live his physical life, does he reveal his soul in the same process?

Answer: Yes, but Kabbalah does not speak about the physical world! This science speaks only about the development of the soul and about what you can feel in it.

I spoke about it with my teacher. He confirmed that the fortune tellers and soothsayers can tell the truth, as they possess this technique. But we do not have this technique, we do not need it. What difference does it make to me what happens to me? I have only one calculation: how to end my life with the highest score possible.

Is that what a fortune teller is for? To do this, I have to think only about the point in my heart! Let the body die, just let me bring it as close as possible to my spiritual correction.

Question: What should I do to not renounce the body altogether, but use it to the fullest?

Answer: Kabbalah does not allow us to renounce the body. You have to live a normal life: work, study, give birth, raise children, and treat this life exactly the same as everyone else around you.

Question: So how can you maximize using your body to achieve the goal?

Answer: Involve yourself only with achieving the goal, and everything else—as needed.

Question: You have mentioned repeatedly that the period of correction has now begun, prior to it was a period of preparation. What does the period of correction mean, and why was the previous time not considered correction?

Answer: It is because it was necessary to prepare egoism so that it would fully realize its own worthlessness, transience, hopelessness, emptiness, and its inability to be fulfilled or to lead a person to anything good or positive.

Ultimately egoism had to be prepared to understand that it exists solely for its own transformation, not to be destroyed by any means, but to be transformed into bestowal and love.

And so until this egoistic quality completely discredits itself in all necessary aspects, it is impossible to begin correcting it.

In our time, we have reached a state where we see clearly that the time has come, there is no way out. Either we face serious problems of ecological, military, and other forms of self-destruction, or we still have a chance to survive.

Question: When Kabbalists communicate with each other, do they speak in an ordinary language or in some kind of incomprehensible language?

Answer: They may not say anything at all and connect via a shared screen. Why do they need this body if they can communicate with their souls, with a common screen between them?

Of course they can also talk to each other. In addition, they can communicate, and each limit oneself to a certain range and not open up to the other.

There is such an option and sometimes a need not to harm each other or to reveal themselves—all things happen despite everyone’s good intentions.

That is, there are a huge number of opportunities for Kabbalists to communicate: through books, through songs, through music. And they, as they internally construct these sensations and pictures, as they live in the material world and at the same time in the next dimension, they are in it in their senses, and thus they communicate, but only according to the law of similarity of form. This is the general, most global, most fundamental law of nature.

Question: It is interesting that when you are physically near someone, it is easier to associate yourself with them. But doing so through thought alone is much harder. How can we work through thought without slipping into mysticism or telepathy where people claim to sense each other at a distance?

Answer: People can feel one another and even think together. But this is not like Wolf Messing, who could supposedly read minds; that is simply an animalistic sense.

Anyone with enough training can develop such abilities, regardless of their internal qualities, whether good or evil. This is something many charmers and shamans are capable of. It is not difficult, and it can be developed in anyone.

But if we are talking not about reading thoughts, but about an inner connection between people, then that arises only through the quality of bestowal, which is above our egoism. This kind of connection through bestowal requires mutuality, reciprocity, love, and inclusion of one another. It is when a shared vessel is formed where all thoughts and feelings become common and merge together.

What is fascinating is that individuality is not lost in this process; it actually expands through others. It is as if I have absorbed you into my vessel, and you have absorbed me into yours, and so with everyone else. As a result, I exist within everyone, and everyone exists within me.

This is the principle of a healthy, properly functioning organism where every cell is integrated with all other parts and cells of the body; it gives itself to them and receives from them. Then each cell feels the entire body, becomes one with it, and feels eternity, infinity, and the boundlessness of everything within it, and not just the tiny, isolated part it would otherwise feel in a lifeless state, barely aware of itself.

That is why mutual inclusion through the quality of bestowal gives a person an entirely new level of existence, what we call spiritual life. It is the feeling of eternity, infinity, perfection, and boundlessness because ultimately you absorb into yourself countless other souls.

This is a unique state, and it is precisely what we must attain. It is not far off, and at first it depends only on our mutual concessions to one another. Later it deepens into a connection on the level of true internal adhesion.
