Comment: Humanity is plagued by illnesses and many are incurable. Everyone searches for advice that might suddenly help them navigate life.

My Response: Relax and do not try to change anything. Drift calmly with the flow of life. Accept what is. Everything that happens is done by the Creator. So, do not contradict Him, but feel connected to Him at every moment.

Question: What can we do with the fears that constantly spur a person?

Answer: There will be no fears! Because fear stems from wanting to secure a specific future for yourself. But that doesn’t exist here.

Question: So fear arises when you do not agree with Him?

Answer: Yes. But here that isn’t the case. The future vanishes; it simply isn’t there. In other words, every moment is like passing away and leaving nothing behind. There is peace. What has been, will be. You know, like the inscription on Solomon’s ring?

Question: Yes. So you think that if a person gets used to this formula, if he lives it, exists with it, then it will free him from fears and even from pain?

Answer: It is not just about being free from fear and pain, but also about being properly connected with nature, with the Creator.

Question: What is the result of it?

Answer: This will give you a connection with the Creator, peace, closeness, and simply connection.

Comment: I have heard about a certain kind of enlightenment in a person’s development, but I do not understand what it is or how to attain it. Please help me understand.

My Response: I can only direct you to the path that leads to enlightenment.

Enlightenment is a ray of the upper light that comes to you, illuminates all your inner desires and thoughts, gathers them together, and enables you to evaluate and feel the world you exist in, to see it and enter into it. Then you truly begin to perceive the world, the universe, and its perfection.

Question: Does a person that they are not actually in this world?

Answer: Each of us exists in our own world. Since at present our perceptions are more or less similar, we call them “our world.” But one must go beyond its boundaries and discover that there are other states as well.

Question: What will a person see?

Answer: Governance. The governance over him. And the world that is depicted within him, he will see as an illusion. That is enlightenment.

Question: Can you give an example of a request just off the top of your head?

Answer: Let’s say I have a habit of stealing. I have been caught many times, beaten for it, imprisoned, and so on. Eventually, I come to the conclusion that stealing only harms me.

I begin asking the Creator for help. But I see that it does not help much. Then I start thinking: “Why is it not helping?” It turns out that doesn’t help much because I am asking Him only because I want my life to be better; it is not because I want to become a better person, but because I want things to be better for me. In that case, He does really help.

But if I ask Him to truly make me a better person, then He will help me. Everything depends on the purity of the request, on how much it is directed toward others, and how far removed it is from my own egoism.

Comment: When I ask for things to be better for me, there is no answer. But when I ask to become better, we have changed only one word here.

My Response: Yes, then there is an answer. Why? Because when I ask for things to be better for me,  even if t not through stealing, that is, it is practically a form of stealing. He doesn’t really help with that. But when I ask for things to be better for others, then yes.

Question: So that I become better in my relationship with others? And in that way I myself become better?

Answer: Yes. When it pains me that I am taking from others, then, if I ask Him for help, it will work.

Comment: When you suggest something new (for example, a “spiritual stimulant,” people say: “Here goes Laitman with another new scheme. Later, there will be something different.”

My Response: Of course there will be!

We are looking for a way to create something that constantly unites us, helps us adjust to each other, keeps us together, and compels us to return to the same fundamental question. This is a pressing issue for us, and it is not going away. It can be in this form, or in a different form, or in a third. We shall see!

Comment: There are people who take a passive, waiting stance, andothers who are active. As a rule, newcomers tend to be more active.

My Response: Those who wait around lose! Spirituality is not like our world where you can dodge responsibility and do nothing. Here, you work for yourself and not for a boss! So, if people want to pass us by, let them. I am not driving anyone with a stick.

Question: What is the importance of a “spiritual stimulant?” Is it dictated by forces from above?

Answer: No, we have advanced to a state where we have to work on unity. The “stimulant” is a means for uniting. Come up with something different, more productive, and we will be happy to switch to it. Why not, if there is something more effective?

Question: What does nature want from us?

Answer: Nature wants us to want to be good and kind.

Question: Is that all?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Stop being evil and become good? What do you mean by “good and kind”?

Answer: Good and kind means that absolutely everyone is truly pleased with you. Not in this world. This cannot happen in our world. Those egoists around us… .

Question: So, I am not just playing along with those who want… ?

Answer: No. When I speak about humanity and about nature in general, I mean
a completely different level of existence.

Question: When will they be pleased with me? What is the goodness they expect
from me?

Answer: When I correct them, and they become absolutely good,
perfect, and corrected.

Question: Correct whom?

Answer: All people.

Question: I have to correct all people?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Me?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this my job? Correcting things is the Creator’s job!

Answer: It is your duty.

Question: Perhaps I need to correct myself rather than all the others around me?

Answer: This is how you correct yourself.

Question: By correcting all people, I correct myself?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: This is something new. By correcting myself, I correct people.

My Response: It is the same thing.

Question: Is it really the same thing?

Answer: Of course. You see yourself in people.

Question: So, if I help with their correction, I am thereby correcting myself?

Answer: It is one and the same! You see a reflection of yourself. In this way, you correct the Creator.

Question: Every sentence is a revolution. The Creator needs to be corrected?

Answer: Of course. We have to create Him!

Question: Is He imperfect? Is He not constant?

Answer: He does not exist at all; you have to create Him! Constantly strive to make Him better and better.

Comment: We will never unravel this riddle.

My Response: No. Nor do we need to!

Question: So we should just leave it at that? Create the Creator?

Answer: Yes. That is exactly what is written in the Torah: “You have made Me.”

Question: What is wrong with us, what is our ailment?

Answer: Our ailment lies in the fact that we cannot distinguish good from evil, and we cannot gather the good within ourselves and integrate it in such a way that it gradually covers the evil. It is a very difficult path.

Question: So, we will be searching for this good? Something to take, like a pill, in order to escape the evil? In other words, regarding evil, will we come to feel that we are complete egoists?

Answer: That is precisely what will be considered evil.

Question: And will we understand that it is evil?

Answer: Of course.

Question: And then we will ask for some kind of remedy?

Answer: Yes. Because through the suffering, we are already drawing an illumination of benevolent light that can reveal to us where our evil actually lies.

Comment: Is this the most important thing? We always come back to this point. You constantly lead us toward this point: for a person to look and see themselves as they are: evil, bad, and flawed. Usually people are told the opposite: “There is still something good in you; you are capable; you can succeed.”

My Response: That exists only as a starting point. But who are you really? You are absolute evil. Yet, there is a spark within you that will guide you. And you need to fan it into a flame.

Question: What does it mean to draw closer to the Creator?

Answer: Drawing closer to the Creator means becoming included in an endless chain of caring for one another. We must feel that caring for one another is eternal.

Question: Is it eternal, or does it lead to eternity?

Answer: It leads to the sensation of eternity.

Question: So, when we are told, “You can live forever and feel eternity,” we become skeptical and say, “Well, that is fantasy.” Is that because we spend our lives caring only about ourselves?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And if we were able to direct ourselves toward someone else, then it would no longer seem like science fiction to us?

Answer: We will begin to sense that eternity. It is as though you transfer yourself into others, and in that you will feel infinity.

Question: Is the purpose of life contained in this? Is this precisely what it is?

Answer: Yes. Then, through your feelings, you draw closer to the Creator, time disappears, and leaves only sensation.

Question: But what is the Creator like? When I say, “Draw closer to the Creator,” what is it that I actually want?

Answer: To care absolutely for others. For another.

Question: Just like that, without thinking about myself?

Answer: If I am able to forget about myself and think about another, then I enter eternity.

Question: There is not even a tiny thought, a hidden calculation: “What will I get in return?” That doesn’t exist?

Answer: But that is precisely what you will receive. You will begin to feel eternity itself within your attitude toward another.

Question: So, to sum it all up, the main goal is to draw closer to the Creator, and everything around us is given precisely so that we can draw closer to the Creator?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Even wars, suffering, tragedies, and illnesses?

Answer: Without them, we would not be able to feel any of this. They too are necessary. The evil inclination was created specifically so that we would feel ourselves rising above it.

Question: Our task is to rise above all of it?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: I see. Thank you. You have shed light on that as well. For people, these things mean such pain, such suffering, and yet you say, “This too serves that purpose.”

My Response: It is necessary.

Question: And is there no way without it? Is it impossible to pass through life smoothly and effortlessly?

Answer: No. A person is incapable of it. One must pass through malice, through the evil inclination; otherwise, one will not feel the good.

Question: How should an ordinary person live so as not to divide life into periods of unhappiness and happiness, unhappiness and happiness?

Answer: Treat each day as an entire lifetime. Start from zero and end with zero. Give yourself completely during that day.

Question: In other words, live that day as if it were a whole life?

Answer: Yes, that is all. Tomorrow, I will wake up, and it will be a new life.

Question: How can I motivate myself so that from morning until evening I live fully, as though I were living an entire lifetime of 120 years in one day?

Answer: My students obligate me. I feel a sense of fear in front of them. Fear. I am obligated, I owe them. I have no right to leave them as they are. I must push them forward, inspire them. I must constantly awaken them. All of this concerns me deeply.

As for myself, no. I try not to make any calculations concerning myself.

Question: So the task is to give yourself completely?

Answer: The task is that before the morning lesson begins, when I wake up, even before I start preparing for the day, I consider myself already dead. Yes, dead. I need nothing from life except to give everything I have today.

Question: By “dead,” do you mean that I no longer exist? That I have no concern for myself, and that is how I go out into the world?

Answer: Exactly.

Question: So this is how I should start the day and how I should spend it?

Answer: Of course. Then you have a very correct accounting with yourself, with life, and with your students. After that, whatever happens is already in the hands of the Creator.

Question: If we apply this to an ordinary person, can he have the same attitude toward his family and children?

Answer: Absolutely the same. He sets himself aside and gives himself to others, to the world.

Question: To family, to those close to him, and to those far away?

Answer: Yes. Live this way, give yourself. You cannot imagine how good, light, free, and most importantly, how correct it is. But you will constantly be in tension: are you truly giving yourself to them?

Question: Is that a good kind of tension? Is there an element of happiness in it?

Answer: That is happiness.

Question: What if I were able to say that I have only today? I want to live it as if it were my last day. Is that the right approach?

Answer: Yes, certainly.

Question: How can a person do something that seems impossible?

Answer: By convincing yourself that when you think positively about the world, you improve the world and help bring it to a better state. This is your responsibility toward the world.

Comment: How did the world suddenly enter our discussion? We were talking about my life.

My Response: You were born for this: to think about how you can improve the world. You and only you. By wishing to improve the world, you ask for it to change.

Question: Do you realize that we are speaking about ordinary people?

Answer: Ordinary people. If we want to change our world, then we must think only about one thing: that we want it to change.

Question: And is that what it means to truly live life?

Answer: Of course. It means understanding that everything must be done now, without waiting.

Question: And where is my “I” in all this? Where is my personal decision?

Answer: In the present moment.

Question: Right now?

Answer: Right now. That is where your “I” exists. Beyond that, it does not exist. If you do not stop and decide, “Now, only now!” then you are no longer truly present.

Question: You once studied human capabilities. I think you even worked on research involving hypothermia and how much a person can endure.

Answer: Yes.

Question: What are the limits of human potential? Can a person actually reach such a state? Is it possible to live for the sake of the world in this way?

Answer: I think so. We simply need to speak to people about it.

Question: Do you believe that what we say actually enters people?

Answer: Yes, it helps.

Question: How does that happen? Where does it enter a person so that he suddenly changes?

Answer: Into the air.

Question: So, to summarize: how does a person live life with “one arrow,” with one chance?

Answer: One must constantly think about improving the world. Nothing else is required. Only thoughts, only our desires.

Question: And what do you mean by improving the world?

Answer: Good relations between people.

Question: As simple as that?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What is the inner wisdom I arrive at as the years go by?

Answer: Where to run and for what purpose?

Question: Should I answer that question or not?

Answer: You do not have an answer.

Question: Should I be searching for it?

Answer: You will search. As long as you search, you will keep running. Then gradually, as you become convinced that there is nowhere to run, you will stop. And that is correct.

Question: Then what am I waiting for? I have stopped.

Answer: You are waiting for nothing. You simply see that no movement can replace tranquility.

Question: So I am arriving at a state of peace?

Answer: Yes, both inner and outer peace.

Question: What do you call the peace that I am arriving at?

Answer: The absence of an impulse to move.

Question: Then what is movement?

Answer: The desire to change your state.

Question: So, the right thought is not to change my state, to accept whatever is?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And what about the phrase, “Peace to the madman who will lull humanity a golden dream”? What about that?

Answer: Why do you want to drive the world mad? Let people simply understand that nullifying one’s ego before the Creator is the highest movement we can make.

Question: Is this what we ultimately come to? Is this peace?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this what is meant by bringing the Creator into this world?

Answer: Yes.
