Comment: April Fools Day is a day of fun. It is also a day of foolishness and jokes. There are many great jokes related to April Fools Day! This is the only holiday that unites all people of all genders, races, ages, and religions.

Answer: People do eccentric things. If there is the slightest reason not to pay attention to terrorism, war, problems, and fear, then eccentric things that are childish and free raise you above yourself.

People love humor more than satire because although it indeed creates happiness, it leaves an unpleasant impression. In humor there is pure happiness because it manifests a brilliant spark in the human mind, which invents such states. In humor they describe situations in two sentences that are internally contradictory so when one of them contradicts the other and eliminates it and at the same time both of them exist, this arouses happiness in us. We are happy about mental revelations like these, practical jokes like these, and love these situations. In this way we are like children.

Question: What would you wish for our viewers on the April Fools Day holiday?

Answer: We need to draw a conclusion about this holiday. A person loves being elevated above himself! After all, we laugh at ourselves, at our ego, at our limitations, at the naïve faith we have about things we are told, what the communications media and strangers “feed us.” In fact, we always remain little children. We only lack a warm and secure world so that it will truly be the subject of constant warmth and happiness.

We all know how good it is to be a child, if only school and the rigid educational system and everything else wouldn’t suppress him, he flows through life, growing well, where all of his pursuits match what his soul is drawn to.

We can create a life like this for ourselves, and along with it not feel as on “April Fools Day” when we seem to be fooling ourselves. If we just fool our egoistic nature by being above it, persuading our ego and working together against it, it will suddenly seem possible that our nature is in our hands. Let’s help each other not to fool others and ourselves! And we will see that it is possible to build a wonderful world and society with good mutual relationships and give a permanent example to each other. Then April Fools Day will continue all year!

Question: What does it take to start studying the wisdom of Kabbalah? Are there any limitations?

Answer: We don’t put anyone under a polygraph test, but a person who wants to study the wisdom of Kabbalah should be mentally healthy. The reason is that this study requires a certain level of internal concentration. It is a study of the meaning of life, of man, of our connection with nature, and of the way we are all connected to each other, etc. The wisdom of Kabbalah deals with information that can require a bit of an effort from a person. I have come across cases when the condition of a mentally ill person who didn’t have strong nerves worsened as a result. These cases are quite rare, but it may still occur.

Question: Can a person study the wisdom of Kabbalah by himself or does it have to be in the right framework?

Answer: He will not achieve anything if he studies by himself. The point is that studying the wisdom of Kabbalah is divided into theoretical and practical study. A person has to gradually feel the plan in which the Kabbalistic instructions operate and how he should work with them, change himself and his fate, and this is only possible in the circle of his friends.

Question: Does that mean that the wisdom of Kabbalah is a collective study?

Answer: Yes, according to the wisdom of Kabbalah, all of humanity is in a collective, living in an absolutely enclosed space.

Question: Do we need to pardon and to forget?

Answer: We must forgive, understanding that others also include you and that they are merely weak creatures with which the ego plays. Therefore we should not be offended by anyone for any reason, but should feel that behind every action people perform there is the Creator. If you relate to it this way, you will soon discover Him without a problem in the relationships between people.

Question: Is World War III inevitable?

Answer: It is indeed inevitable, but it can take place on two totally different levels, on the spiritual level or on the corporeal level.

It all depends on how we manage the process of our development. On the spiritual level, it will take place in the form of internal changes.

This actually will be the greatest internal war against our egoism. However, if we begin to think lightly of our internal correction, there will be an external war that will pressure us until we change our egoism and reach the same result, but with the price of large external physical losses.

Question: Do you think that egoism is the highest human sin?

Answer: It is our nature and nothing more.

Question: But at the heart of all crimes and transgressions is the ego. For example, are the members of Daesh, whom everyone talks about, simply egoists or barbarians?

Answer: They are egoists, but their ego finds its expression in fanaticism.

Question: Does this mean that when we defeat the ego, their will be universal prosperity?

Answer: Then we will be connected with good harmonious connections, not only with each other, but also with the surrounding nature and with its general system of management.

We truly will feel that we are living in a balanced world, and we will begin to feel our coming higher states through the system of nature. This is the most important thing the wisdom of Kabbalah reveals. It gives us a perspective not only of this world, but of all of the rest of our states.

This is very influential for a person. He begins to understand that, during the process of his existence in this world, it is up to him to take into account all of his other possible states, completely realistically.

Question: Who is Haman in our time?

Answer: Haman is the force that divides us and thereby weakens the nation so that it is easier to manage us. In the Book of Esther, Haman told king Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered and separate among the peoples throughout all the provinces of your kingdom…”; they are weak because they are divided, and therefore it is easier to destroy them.

This is the reason that we must unite above all of our differences, including every part in the nation, in spite of everything that divides us, without any arguments as to who is right.

The wisdom of Kabbalah is directing us toward this unity, to unity above all of our differences, so that, as it is written, “Love covers all transgressions,” since this is the only kind of unity that there can be in the nation of Israel, which otherwise would remain as a gathering of exiles, as a collection of immigrants from different counties.

Haman is the force that tears the Jewish nation into pieces. We can identify him in every part of society, religious and secular, left and right political streams, etc. Kabbalah is the method of uniting opposites, above all rejections. It is the only method that has the force of correction, the force of Esther and Mordechai.

Secular people and Kabbalah

Question: Why is there an opinion that one can study Kabbalah only after he has mastered all of the Torah and Talmud?

Answer: The great Kabbalist the Ari and his disciple Haim Vital explain in their books that one should study all the books of the Torah and Talmud, but after he has revealed the Creator. After the revelation, he can fill himself with the Light through the study of the Talmud.

People studied the Talmud with the purpose of revealing the Creator even before the destruction of the Temple. After all, the entire Torah talks about the law of love of your neighbor. If a person begins to love others, he senses and includes within himself the entire spiritual world, which exists outside of his ego.

When he obtains the property of bestowal, he begins to study Talmud and perceives everything written there in the correct way. In other words, he sees that it is talking about spiritual concepts rather than their material branches in this world.

That is, anyone who has a desire can study Kabbalah, and they can start with Kabbalah before mastering Gemara, Mishna, and Torah. I can add only that I brought forty students from Tel Aviv to my teacher Rabash. They were absolutely secular people. I suspect that most of them did not know Torah even from the school curriculum. Yet Rabash accepted them, and they began studying Kabbalah right after that.

The study of Kabbalah was banned because the Jews went into exile, during which time they were not supposed to turn to Kabbalah. We had to wait for the end of the exile, which occurred at the end of the 20^th century, about 20 years ago.

From that point on, Kabbalah is open all. As Baal HaSulam wrote, the period of exile completely ended in 1995. From that moment, this wisdom has become open for everyone.

Question: Some people think that the exile ended with the founding of the State of Israel.

Answer: I give the definition adopted in the wisdom of Kabbalah by the Kabbalists.

Question: How is it possible to feel and see the poor as rich, the fool as wise, and the sick as healthy if a person understands and reflects that all the evil that is around him are his uncorrected characteristics that are intentionally given to him by the Creator for his advancement, and also connects every action that happens in his life with the one and only Creator?

Answer: All of this is discovered along with the feeling of the Creator because it belongs to the full perception of the world that was created by Him.

Question: How must a person direct himself toward the correct perception of what is happening with him?

Answer: This is spoken about in the most important article about man’s spiritual work, “There is None Else Beside Him.” Beginning in the morning, you must constantly direct yourself to feel that you are in a world in which the one and only power and will that builds and manages it is the Creator.

And along with everything that you absorb and in spite of anything that may happen to you, you must only strengthen your inclination and yearning within the consciousness that everything that is happening to people and what is around them, including what is happening with you, all is the intent of the Creator. He is the first, and after Him are all the characteristics and features of our world that influence and act upon you.

You must examine yourself constantly, do not begin to lose and divert your attention from your inner intention that everything happening within you and around you is derived only from the single upper force. And despite the internal and external changes, the reason for everything that will happen is that I will not change my attitude toward the Creator as the only reason for everything.

Question: Why is Europe suddenly facing such difficult times?

Answer: The Creator in every way wants to lead His creation to a single form, to the total integral connection between everyone on all levels, and then to the form that can also be adhered to Him. This is the aim of our development and the purpose of the evolution of the universe, of our planet, of the still, vegetative, and animate levels of nature, and especially of man. This goal will certainly be achieved by nature, i.e., by its rigid force of evolution or by realizing the goal of creation by man and its wise fulfillment.

Humanity has already reached the last phase of its development in which society has to be united. It can either unite despite the egoism that separates everyone or by the terrible sufferings that our egoistic evolution will bring about that will force us to choose to unite in order to avoid the terrible sufferings.

The plan of creation is leading Europe toward the goal even before other nations since it is the most developed continent and therefore the most egoistic, divided, and mutually dependent on unity. This will happen along the path of sufferings or along the path of unity that is achieved willingly and consciously. The process of unity is not the unity of banks or other organizations but unity stemming from educating people and bringing them closer to one another, as one nation!

The whole world has started the fulfillment of the process of unity since the middle of the last century. It may take many more years of suffering or even another world war, but all of humanity will be united just as all of the Creator’s goals will be attained.
