Question: Second grader Stasik asks the Creator: “Did You give me my own soul or someone else’s?”

Answer: No, you received your own soul. But if you are not satisfied with it, you can work to correct it.

Question: What kind of soul should one aim for?

Answer: One that loves everyone.

Question: Do people have this desire?

Answer: I do not think so.

Question: But what about children?

Answer: Personally, I think children are more inclined toward correction than adults.

Adults have already settled into their ways and believe that things will not and cannot get better, and they simply should accept what they have.

Question: Do children still hold on to hope?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: Ideally, with experience, we should…

My Response: But we do not. Where would we get the patience, experience, or determination to resist what we have? We just accept it as it is.

Question: Is this because of the blows? Because we constantly experienced setbacks and received blows?

Answer: Yes, it is because we are too lazy to correct ourselves.

Comment: From a letter: “You always talk about kindness and love, but in reality, people treat each other like parasites.”

My Response: Of course.

Question: “And the kindest people in this world take the most blows from others and from fate. So the choice is either to be a parasite in life or to suffer from parasites. Please explain why one should be kind in this world, and why do you advise it?”

Answer: Because if we are kind, we become like the Creator. Then it will be better and easier for us both in this world and in the next.

Comment: But this person believes it is better for the parasites, those who use others and live that way.

My Response: That is just how it seems to him. In small, limited circumstances, he might be somewhat right. But overall in life, no.

Comment: So you are saying that we should still raise children with good relationships, with concepts of friendship, decency, and so on. And looking at the bigger picture, you say that this is correct.

My Response: Yes.

Comment: But if we narrow our focus, as he says, parasites just…

My Response: When you narrow your focus, you are limiting yourself to isolated cases. And then, of course, it seems better to be an egoist. But if you look at life as a whole, at what a person is left with, and where they end up after, then it is clearly better to be kind.

Question: Tell me, does this kindness ever come back to a person?

Answer: It does not exactly “come back.” It gives you the ability to understand why everything is made this way and how it is still better to act kindly.

Question: Is that important?

Answer: It is important.

Comment: Right now, you are not even saying that kindness will return to you as good.

My Response: We do not see that.

Question: But if we look at it globally, does it still return?

Answer: Not in our world.

Question: You are being so definitive: if you do good, good does not come back to you?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But we should not conclude from this that we should not do good? We should continue?

Answer: Yes.

Question: You started by saying that the Creator is good and does good and we must be like Him. Will this ever come back to me? Or should I not think about that at all?

Answer: The fact that you think this way and can act this way is already the Creator’s bestowal. This is already the reward.

Question: What about those who, as he says, are parasites, what happens to them? I would like to ask about them.

Answer: They calculate their dividends and believe they are happy.

Question: And you think they are not?

Answer: No.

Question: Can we say, as an egoist asking, that after they finish their life, in another world, will they be punished for being parasites? Or not? Will there be punishment?

Answer: Yes, without a doubt! And it will be in such a way that they will even not understand it at first.

Question: But it comes? Is this how the Creator teaches a person?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Through suffering like this?

Answer: It is not the Creator teaching the person; it is a general law of nature: everything a person does must be compensated for—good with good, evil with evil.

Question: You said you could not rest; you were always looking for something. Did you understand what you were looking for? This is a personal question for you.

Answer: Not quite. The meaning of life. What is going on with me? How should I act to find answers to the questions? This type of questions.

Question: So something did not satisfy you?

Answer: Sure, I was dissatisfied with meaninglessness.

Comment: Scientific work is pointless, as is…

My Response: Of course, all that is…

Question: Was there some kind of premonition that it had to be somewhere, that you must seek it?

Answer: In general, it is somewhere because nature itself does not tolerate this emptiness. It screams outright, screams there is a goal and there is truth, and it is for everyone although each person may have their own, but one can find it.

Question: Did you feel this inner cry?

Answer: Yes, of course.

Question: Did you reach a point where if you could not achieve your goal, there was no point in living?

Answer: Definitely. For many years it was meaningless.

Question: How did you come out of these states?

Answer: It is not easy, but I think a lot of people are still in such a state.

The most important thing is to understand that it does not depend on you, it is given to you from above, it is a gift from nature. And you must keep looking for answers to the question of your fate.

Comment: That is, on a positive note, you keep going, you are not stopping.

My Response: Absolutely, yes.

Question: How long do these states last: “If I do not find it, life is not worth living”? Are these statements internal?

Answer: I have had it for decades.

Question: What is the most important moment in your life?

Answer: The most important moment was when I found my teacher. I realized that a great happiness had befallen me now.

Question: In all the time that you have been studying Kabbalah, have you ever regretted it?

Answer: No. How could it have happened?

Comment: Probably the person asking may have doubts.

My Response: Doubts, meaning to forget and fall asleep?

Comment: I do not know, maybe there is something else.

My Response: I am not hiding from anything, and I am not turning a blind eye to anything; there simply is nothing else.

Question: You have been studying for a long time. More than forty years, nearly fifty. Was there no moment of doubt? Have you ever regretted it? Or were there some doubts like if you were in the right place?

Answer: No, such depth and horizons are revealed to you that you have nothing more to look for. Either you give it up, or you stay with it.

Question: So you never had any doubts, and you went along with it. But you did go through different states, right?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Why are these states given on the path?

Answer: To test yourself.

Question: So, you were questioning yourself?

Answer: Yes. “Do I need it?”

Question: “Am I in the right place?” Did you ask yourself this?

Answer: “Am I in the right place?” Not really. Whether I have the right sources, whether the methodology is correct, whether I should behave this way—all such questions were there.

Question: How did you answer these questions?

Answer: My answer was that I did not believe in anything, and therefore—to check.

Question: Is there anything in life you regret most and would like to take back and do differently?

Answer: Yes, I would like to take back and redo absolutely everything except my choice in life. That is, the choice itself is correct, but its implementation could have been more intense.

Question: When you feel that you are hated, what is your internal reaction?

Answer: I need to look at why I caused such a reaction.

Question: So you think about why you triggered that reaction?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Let’s say you find the reason. What is next?

Answer: I must correct myself.

Question: What does this correction mean?

Answer: Correction means improving myself so that next time there would be no reason to hate me for it.

Question: Is hatred actually a reaction of egoism?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Fully, absolutely?

Answer: Definitely.

Question: So today you have a different conversation with your own egoism?

Answer: Yes.

Question: You often say that the Creator is jealous. Are you jealous? What do you feel when your students leave you for another teacher?

Answer: Completely indifferent!

Comment: That is hard to understand. You invested in the student, watched him grow…

Answer: I did everything I could to bring him closer to the truth. And if he ultimately feels his place is not among my students, that is his right.

How could I turn a student into a slave? That would be far worse than any wrongdoing, it would be stealing his freewill! That is it! It is almost like removing him from the pedestal of being a human.

“Why Do We Hate?”

Question: There is a joke about a man asking God: “Lord, what is the best way to make You laugh?” God answers: “Tell me about your plans.”

Why do our plans make the Creator laugh?

Answer: Because when a person makes plans, he considers himself above what is happening, as if he can plan the future. This is not justified at all. Therefore, of course, it makes Him laugh.

Question: Let’s be realistic. A person makes plans for the summer, for a vacation. I write down a plan for the day, what I have to do today, and so on. Is this called making plans?

Answer: Remember what Woland said? That a person cannot program himself for the future. To do this, he must know what will happen at least 1,000 years in advance.

I would not say that we can program anything.

Question: Is it possible to live without plans?

Answer: It is possible to live without plans if you put your plans aside and accept the plans of the next, higher level.

Question: What kind of plans are these? By what plan do I live then?

Answer: You live by the plan of the upper nature, the Creator.

Question: And what kind of plan is this?

Answer: This means that all you can imagine is that you only want one thing: to be in close contact with Him.

Question: And this no longer makes Him laugh?

Answer: This does not make Him laugh. You only want to achieve this, and what will happen is unimportant for you. The main thing is that you want only these plans to be realized in you.

Question: Are you not even interested in knowing what the Creator’s plans are? Do you just completely devote yourself?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Can a person live like that?

Answer: Are you truly going to check His plans?

Question: I really cannot. But still, it may be scary for someone to even pronounce it. What if He has such plans that…

Answer: Whatever they are, these are already the upper plans.

Question: So it is about my complete annulment before the upper one?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Does this make the Creator laugh?

Answer: The Creator rejoices.

Question: Can you tell why He “bends” me like that?

Answer: So that you would want consciously to change your plans.

Question: So, I take my soul and stifle it?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Can I say that this is all my pride, that we are now talking about pride by and large?

Answer: Of course.

Comment: And the Creator wants him to…

My Response: Remove it by himself.

Comment: The operation that He performs on us is practically without anesthesia.

My Response: A person must realize that this is what is bad in him and interferes with him.

Question: And there are no painkillers here? Is it necessary to go through the pain?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What is more important: the result itself or the planning process?

Answer: I would say both, of course. But the main thing is still the result.

Question: And when the plans fall apart, for example. Many people’s plans fall apart, and today many of those have fallen apart. Can a person react to this differently than he reacts? In a calmer way somehow.

Answer: It depends on his preparation. If he is already prepared in advance for the fact that all his plans will not come true and he will have to change them to the plans of the Creator, then he will survive this calmly.

Question: That is, I plan, but what will happen is what the Creator wants?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this the correct beginning of the phrase: “I plan”?

Answer: It is necessary that a person plans. But he must convince himself that what will come true anyway are the plans of the Creator—not his.

Question: So I do what I want, and it will be as the Creator decides?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this how we should live? Is this the right message?

Answer: Yes. You always add: “If the Creator wills.”

To Make The Plans Of Humanity Coincide With The Plan Of Nature
What Prevents Us From Implementing Our Plans?
There Are No Wars in the Creator’s Plans

Filed under: Free Will, News, Q&A - No Comments →

Question: Following the war that began on October 7^th, people in Israel began coming to cardiology departments with heart problems, not with heart attacks or blocked arteries, but with what is called “broken heart syndrome.” In Hebrew, it is tismun et lev shavur.

Its symptoms resemble a heart attack, but it is not a heart attack. The shape of the heart changes, its function is impaired, and instead of contracting, it expands. This condition results from adrenaline being released into the blood during prolonged grief or stress.

Doctors recommend maintaining a healthy lifestyle, getting exercise, reducing stress, lightening work demands, pursuing hobbies, takingvacations, etc., but for a modern person who is always on the go, stressed, and trying to find their place in life, these recommendations do not seem realistic.

How can we not “break” our hearts amidst everything going on around us?

Answer: To do that, we need to understand that everything happening is nature’s response to our behavior. We cannot help ourselves unless we act precisely according to nature’s laws.

Question: What if I knew that my behavior and relationships with others affect all these stresses and wars? What would result from this?

Answer: Then I would behave differently. I would avoid stress and conflicts with others. Meaning, I would behave normally so that there would be no clashes.

Question: It is interesting that there is physical pain like torture, suffering, and imprisonment, yet people come out of that alive and sometimes live to be 120 and remain healthy. But here, emotional stress ends life. What is this, why is that?

Answer: Our bodies are adapted to physical suffering but not to emotional or moral suffering. We cannot endure that.

Question: Why not? After all the body is healthy?

Answer: Because such suffering goes beyond our natural life, our body.

Question: So a higher function is disrupted while the earthly one remains intact?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So even with a healthy body, roughly speaking, I can pass away?

Answer: Yes, people lived in conditions beyond our imagination.

Question: And then, bang, it is all over. Does this mean we have some higher component within us?

Answer: Yes, you can survive life if you have a goal. If you can elevate that goal above suffering and limitations, you can endure anything.

Question: So you grasp this spirit and survive, but your body can give up?

Answer: The body will not give up if you hold on to this force above life.

Question: So you connect these ideas?

Answer: Of course. A person must see a purpose ahead of him, a reason for enduring suffering.

Question: Then the body will hold on?

Answer: Yes. The problem is that in today’s life, people do not see that purpose.

Question: Does this apply even to a simple goal? For example, centenarians often seem to have a simple goal, they hold on to it, and their body follows. Does this also apply to simple goals and not just lofty ones?

Answer: Yes, they may have their sheep, goats, or a dog.

Comment: Yes, the fresh air, nature. And they live.

My Response: Exactly.

Comment: There are many movies now about elderly people living to 100 years or more in remote places like forests and mountains. You wonder how they manage—and yet they do. They live without hospitals or doctors.

My Response: Right. If they wake up knowing they need to do certain things, that is enough to keep them going.

Question: Even just feeding themselves?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Should we also learn to feel another’s pain?

Answer: Yes, we must learn to feel others’ pain because that creates a positive field of mutual connection around us, which is essential for survival.

Question: Can one find meaning in emotional suffering?

Answer: People often find deep meaning in suffering. But suffering should lead to a result whether it is creating literature, music, or other expressions. Much of art is rooted in suffering. A person must change their attitude toward life and develop a new life philosophy.

Question: You attribute all this to suffering?

Answer: Suffering drives humanity forward.

Question: Is it possible to accept suffering?

Answer: Most people accept suffering; they cannot resist it. But some individuals suppress their suffering and reach the next level.

Question: Do we ever reach the root of suffering, why it happens?

Answer: The root of suffering is actually quite foolish: it lies in the rejection of suffering itself. When I believe that what I am experiencing should not be happening to me, I suffer.

Question: So if I accept it, I will not suffer?

Answer: Exactly, then you will adjust to that level of life.

Question: Why am I given all these sufferings?

Answer: They are given to make you reflect on your life. You need to see whether you are the source of your own suffering and how you can rise above it. Once you transcend the cause of your suffering, you can free yourself from it and gain a new perspective.

Question: And what will I see?

Answer: You will see that your suffering is purely philosophical. Where suffering exists, there is a philosophy tied to it, a belief that suffering is undeserved. But if you accept it, you can rise above it.

Question: At the same time, understanding that these experiences are part of a divine plan is essential?

Answer: Yes, that is what the Creator wants you to understand.

Question: Should this understanding be both in the heart and the mind? And is that when you…

Answer: I agree with Him and I follow this path.

A Life Without Pain And Suffering

Question: A fish asks God, “Lord, can you make the ocean smaller?” “Why?” God is surprised. “Because I don’t know how to swim.” God replies, “Learn to swim, and the ocean will seem smaller to you.”

We live in this world and often complain about life. Essentially, we do not know how to swim in this ocean of life. How can we learn to swim?

Answer: We do not have any natural abilities for it. We were created in egoism. We can criticize each other, but we rarely think well of one another. Achieving a state where each person is a friend, companion, and brother to others is, in essence, a fantasy.

Question: Then, why did the Creator fill this “aquarium” and place us in it like fish without teaching us how to swim?

Answer: He gave us the opportunity to learn on our own.

Question: What does this give me?

Answer: It gives us the chance to be the creators of our own lives.

Question: So, I am essentially a human with “fins” and “gills,” equipped for this water, but I do not know how to swim?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Do I need to develop these “fins and gills”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: How and when do we come to understand this?

Answer: We understand it when we have no other choice. Either we line up and march toward the cliff or learn to swim.

Question: So do we need to be brought to this dead-end?

Answer: Yes.

Question: How should we correctly perceive this ocean of life?

Answer: It is open before us. It all depends on how we relate to each other. That is still a problem. We always think that if others do well, it will somehow be worse for us.

How can one convince a person that this is not the case? On the contrary, let us work on ourselves so that everyone feels good and you feel good with everyone, and everyone feels good with you. But people resist this idea.

Question: So even here, the fish asks God, “Make the ocean smaller.” It does not say, “Give me the ability; teach me to swim.” So, we are not asking, “Teach us to swim in this ocean.” We are not asking this of the Creator, or are we?

Answer: No.

Question: Are we asking for the ocean to be different?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this also inherent in us?

Answer: Of course it is inherent in us! We cannot change ourselves. Our egoism is truly the opposite of nature.

Question: What does it mean spiritually to learn to swim?

Answer: Spiritually “learning to swim” means feeling the sea of the Creator’s love around you and knowing how to remain in it.

Question: In this love?

Answer: Yes, and when we finally learn to move our arms and legs a little, we will start to understand that we know how to swim.

But we can truly learn to “swim” only when we turn solely to the Creator. Because the sea, the ocean, the waves, the sky, the earth, everything, is Him. We need to learn to be within Him. And to be within Him means to exist in the qualities of bestowal, love, and connection with everyone. That is what it means to learn to “swim.”

Question: There is a parable about a strong wind blowing at a tree, bending and almost breaking it. The tree told the wind: “You’re going to break me.” The wind answered: “No, I will make you stronger, your roots will strengthen, and you will become even more powerful after the storm.”

How can we realize that life is like this right now, that we are being broken precisely to strengthen our roots?

Answer: This must be realized. If we say that the Creator is good and does good, then we have no choice but to understand all His actions as good that bring only good.

Question: That is, those strengthen our roots?

Answer: Yes, we have lived through such upheavals throughout our history, such changes, that we must believe that special, good days are ahead, which we must accept with love.

Question: Do you really think that everything that has happened to us has strengthened our roots?

Answer: Undoubtedly!

Question: Among our people and other nations in general?

Answer: Yes, undoubtedly.

Question: But when one still feels broken, he is on his knees. How does he get up from his knees?

Answer: A person must think. Think about who I am, what I am, what I am for, who controls me, and what I am meant for. The person will see that all this prepares him for real correction. When he rises above his nature, the Creator awaits him there.

Question: We were just talking about a tree strengthening its roots. The wind and the storm strengthen the roots of the tree. What do you call a person’s “human roots,” which are strengthened by all suffering?

Answer: I call a person’s roots his connection with like-minded people. What else does he have? Only this. If these roots are correctly connected, then we have a really strong tree.

Question: In other words, we can say that we, who came out of this unified state, should return to it, but after going through all the suffering, winds, and storms?

Answer: Yes. There is nothing you can do about it.

Question: Is this the plan?

Answer: Yes, because otherwise, we would be unable to find out our essence or the Creator and direct ourselves to Him.

Question: Summing up everything, you say that our roots are the connection between us, and the goal is to direct ourselves to the Creator. What practical advice do you have for strengthening the roots?

Answer: It is hard to say. A person should think about the essence of his life: What it is given for, what is exciting and special about it, and to whom can he bring salvation and correction. A person should be aware of all this.

Question: Is this our training?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this how we train our muscles, with thoughts of where do I come from, what do I live for, and so on?

Answer: Yes, all the time.

Question: Is this your advice to absolutely anyone?

Answer: To any person. Think about it continuously.

Alexander writes:

Today is a very foggy time. Everything that we once thought was understandable is incomprehensible. It is unclear if it is a man or a woman, if it is real news or if everything is rigged. It is unclear whether this is the leader of the country or his double. It is unclear whether this is being said by a human or an artificial intelligence, whether it is true or false. Everything is mixed up.

What is all this for? Why are we being driven to complete disbelief in what I see and hear?

Answer: This is really a serious matter. It is so that we would need in the Creator.

Question: Is it His doing to confuse everything for us?

Answer: These are His actions so that we would feel ourselves in a state of confusion so we would have no possible reasonable, correct action left except to grab hold of Him and cling to Him like a child.

Question: So we must be brought to such a state that we will turn to Him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is there any other way we can turn to the Creator? There are prayers, prayer books, religions. Aren’t these appeals to the Creator?

Answer: No, they don’t save you.

Question: Alexander asks another question: “Who should I believe today?” Is there anyone on this earthly plane who can be trusted?

Answer: Of course not.

Question: Is it possible to live without believing in anything, in anyone?

Answer: That is how we get used to it.

Question: So you think that the whole of humanity will be brought to such a state?

Answer: Yes.

Question: If such a request, a prayer to the Creator, were really raised, what would happen? Would He answer?

Answer: The Creator answers anyway, but we do not understand His answers. He tells us that if we go the right way, that is, give up our selfish goals, then we will raise ourselves to the next level of development.

We will be completely different there. First of all, we will not be immersed in ourselves, in egoists. We will strive to make it so that it is the same for everyone. And the most important thing for us will be to act in a way that we feel the need to hold on to each other together.

This is what the Creator wants to lead us to.

Question: Are you talking about the whole of humanity now?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is the relationship between people, between countries, between everything like this?

Answer: Yes., this is our next step.

Question: Why don’t we want to move toward it? It sounds very attractive, with all our reality.

Answer: Should I think about others? I cannot and I do not want to. This is what every person feels.

Question: And will the Creator give us this opportunity if we can turn to Him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But should I want this particular next step?

Answer: I have to come to it, to the fact that I must want it.

Comment: It seems that one can want it coming from something very bad.

My Response: So we are gradually getting down to it.

Question: That is, we will be brought to something very bad so that we ask: “Give us the opportunity to be together”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Alexander also has this question: “Is it necessary to break through to the truth? And how to get to it if necessary?” He says, “Everything around us is untrue, everything is a lie.”

Answer: And we do not know what the truth is.

Question: That is what he is asking: “What is the truth?”

Answer: We do not know that. So what are we going to fight our way to? Just because we do not like our current state does not mean we know how to get out of it. And it turns out to be what it turns out to be.

Question: He is asking you: “What do you personally call the truth?”

Answer: The truth is that in my eyes all people are exactly the same.

Question: Do you mean equality, equals?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So, all people are equal?

Answer: All people. If I want to see it that way and go for it, then it is considered that it is true.

Question: Am I the same as them?

Answer: Absolutely! That is when we will find out what kind of truth it is, what kind of taste it has.

Question: Andrey asks: “I read it somewhere, but recently I became convinced that the Creator is jealous. You have said it more than once. But I had no idea He was so jealous. He allows you to follow the path you choose, but it is clearly against His will. But He lets you. He even seems to bless it. And then He sends such falls that you do not know how to pull yourself out of them. Why is He doing this? He could have prevented me from going down the wrong path. What does He give it for?”

Answer: What would you learn in that case?

Comment: That He is good that does good.

My Response: Then you would remain in kindergarten.

Question: Am I being educated the whole time?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Educated with the wrong paths?

Answer: With their help. How else?

Question: Andrey says He is the one pushing you there on this wrong path. Is all this to teach you?

Answer: Sure.

Question: What does He want to bring up in me?

Answer: Understanding life, understanding yourself, understanding the world, and understanding your correct attitude to the world.

Question: Andrey felt he was even being blessed on this path: “Go on!” Even when you are going down the wrong path?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So he asks: “Why does the Creator bless man to take this path?”

Answer: Because in this way He teaches a person; otherwise, one cannot be taught.

Question: When does a person realize he is on the wrong path? The Creator Himself begins to create further obstacles for him. Right?

Answer: Yes. After a while a person begins to feel he is on the wrong path. But he cannot turn away and continues on it, receives all sorts of suffering until they accumulate to the point he is forced to run away from them.

Question: Tell me, is there some road sign from which suffering begins? And until then, you walk easily, freely, and happily.

Answer: Yes, it depends on the growth of egoism in a person. Because then he begins to understand this is a wrong path that is to his detriment. And he wonders: what should he do? From this moment on, suffering begins, and his demand to the Creator begins.

Question: So while he was walking along the egoistic path without thinking about it, was everything all right for him?
