Education Is First of All!!

120Question: Suppose a person has a tendency to steal. What action should be taken against him?

Answer: Correction. Everyone steals. Everyone! Neither you nor I can vouch for ourselves either. It depends on where, how, what, consciously, unconsciously, or perhaps he was framed somehow.

You cannot allow a person to be around such things that he can steal. We must protect him from such actions. It all depends on the level of his education.

Of course if I have a natural tendency to steal, then I cannot just be allowed to do certain things. We must learn to measure the degree of correction of a person, and for this we need to see him and include him in us. It is not simple. Nobody has been able to do this yet. That is why everyone steals.

Question: How can we do this in a Kabbalistic society?

Answer: Everything is based on completely different principles in a Kabbalistic society. As Baal HaSulam writes in the book The Writings of the Last Generation, everyone receives as much as he or she is entitled to according to the amounts that society determines in accordance with the personal and family needs of a person. Therefore, one does not need to steal. There is nowhere to steal from, and no need to do so.

A person is constantly in a state of being influenced by the correct environment, and systematically undergoes training by improving on one’s own and attending improvement courses.

If we begin to gradually curtail our economy, close enterprises not by directive, but according to our education, and send people to classes, then the crisis would calm down and there would be no overproduction. First you need to invest everything in education.

Can One Learn to Recognize Evil?

504Question: It is no secret that all social formations were either replaced, have disappeared or collapsed. How will the new form of the future society preserve itself and develop further?

Answer: I think this will happen on the basis of a complete renunciation of past states with the help of the so-called recognition of evil, when people begin to understand that it is impossible to continue existing as before. They will be on the verge between either disappearing or changing themselves. And then they will experience transformation.

The recognition of evil is a force that preserves and protects itself. The whole of society will recognize evil, learn to understand it, and pass on this understanding to each other.

Question: Can the recognition of evil be learned and passed on?

Answer: Of course. We have just to teach, show, and explain what evil is and to what extent it exists in each object.

When a person begins to feel where evil comes from, then to this extent he begins to hate it. The recognition of evil preserves the society and does not allow it to move back.

Question: What is the energy that pushes a person forward toward his development? After all, what does not move forward goes backward.

Answer: The fact is that a person cannot stay in the same place, he must develop. Society develops, people develop, children are born, everything flows. Therefore, a person and society itself will strive to constantly develop.

But the main thing is the recognition of the evil in egoism and the fact that it is impossible to continue to exist like this. This feeling of impossibility will protect against regression and push forward.

The Only Desire Is to Fill Others

962.3Question: In the article “The Last Generation,” Baal HaSulam writes that a person should work for the benefit of people to the best of his ability and if necessary, beyond that, until hunger and thirst disappear from the world.

In the future society, how much can a person give to it?

Answer: Society must reach a state where a person will have no desire other than to fulfill others. And this is possible because there are such forces in nature that can change us people to turn egoists into altruists. This is the most important thing.

Question: After this change to someone, will it actually be a different person altogether?

Answer: This will be man, since Adam (man) from the word “domeh” means similar to the upper force, the quality of bestowal and love, which fills the whole space, everything that exists around us. But we do not feel it because so far we are opposite to it.

Society of Joy

293.1The future society is a society that lives according to the principle “love your neighbor as yourself,” a society of joy, smiles, and rapprochement.

Question: How does a person feel in it from the point of view of the perception of reality? Does he feel his neighbor, does he feel the social structure?

Answer: He feels himself in an environment that is absolutely identical to what exists within him. After all, the border of perception that there is me and something outside of me is being destroyed, leveled. There is no difference between his internal state and the external environment.

At the same time, a person’s sensation of our egoistic, closed, angular, limited-by-time world disappears.

Is Disparity Evil or Joy?

568.01Question: Why has disparity always been felt by a person as evil?

Answer: Because the relationship between people is egoistic. When they become altruistic, the disparity between us gives us the opportunity to receive or bestow to another in some kind of disproportion between us.

This gives everyone a feeling of bestowing and receiving, which, in principle does not matter, but only expresses our inner motives.

That is, in the future society, a person will become completely different, his concepts of eternal values will radically change. He will be glad that the Creator created us unequal.

Truth and Lie in Modern Society

631.1Question: Will such a category as “truth and lie” exist in a future society?

Answer: There is no such category in nature, but it exists in humans and only when they think about themselves instead of thinking about others.

At the inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels of nature there is no such concept, since all these levels are operating subconsciously according to the laws of nature. Animals do not have questions about truth, lie, bestowal, love, hate, and so on. These categories will gradually disappear in humans as well under the influence of self-education.

Question: Why do people stand up for the truth so much throughout history?

Answer: The fact is that a person does not understand what truth means. One has some kind of internal belief that everything should be true. But what is the truth? Everyone has their own egoistic truth, which seems correct to them. So it should be. Therefore, a person has no choice here, one will still be searching for truth and justice. But the solution of these categories can be achieved only in absolute bestowal between people.

Question: So in modern society, people stand for the truth and they think they spread it to everyone, but, in reality, there is nothing in this?

Answer: It does not mean that there is nothing in this. On the contrary, this is a terrible attitude toward people and the world when a person wants his personal truth, the way he understands it, to prevail. This is one of the examples of fascism and violence.

Disparity That Gives a Sense of Comfort

631.1Question: Can the difference between us give a person pleasure and comfort?

Answer: Nature has created us different from each other. And here the question arises, should we strive to neutralize absolutely everything there is between us? Or should we maintain this disparity and somehow move forward while preserving it?

I think practice will determine this. People will use disparity between them and will understand how much they need its manifestation.

Disparity will not increase, but it will be felt more acutely. Sensitivity to it will become more and more obvious in people, which will help them manifest themselves in an even greater rapprochement with each other, despite the disparity.

Freedom in the Future Society

294.4Freedom is a state where a person rises above all restrictive limits and from the point of view of his inner freedom gives everything to society. This is what gives him the opportunity to feel absolutely free and not limited by anything.

If he can give everything possible for the benefit of society, then this is his main purpose of living. This gives him fulfillment. He does not feel any restrictions from egoism because he uses it in order to bestow.

Question: Does it mean that a person in the future society will not feel any restrictions?

Answer: No, he lives in another dimension, in the dimension of bestowal—not reception. He as if changes his nature.

Humanity Is Destined for Happiness

229The society of the future is the happiest and most perfect society of all possible and existing. Humanity is already destined for happiness.

The main criteria for such a society are connection between people, love, mutual responsibility, and unity. Nothing else, everything is very precise and clear.

Question: Is it possible to have a perfect society in one confined place?

Answer: History knows a few attempts to create such a society by a group of people in some particular places. This idea did not succeed and this society did not last long. Creating such a society must derive from continuous expansion until it becomes the only one on Earth.

If a society becomes isolated in its own happiness, it eventually collapses. Throughout the development of mankind, there have been perfectionists who wanted to bring the whole world to happiness or to do it in a particular area. But they did not succeed.

Society in Which Bestowal Is Equal to Reception

629.4One may be diligent, but no person shall enjoy the society more than the backward. There will be an equal standard of living for all (Baal HaSulam, The Writings of The Last Generation).

A necessary condition for the existence of a future society is an absolutely equal income, payment and supply. Everything that everyone has should be the same as others have, but in accordance with the personal needs and tastes of a person.

That is, one can be satisfied with two kilograms of something, and for the other 500 grams is enough. One needs, say, special clothes and shoes, and the other does not need them. Everyone will receive everything as much as is necessary for him.

Question: Will a person think about the things he will receive from his actions in society?

Answer: In such a society, everyone thinks only about bestowing to others. It depends on the education, on how much society itself influences a person. And society will think about him and provide him with everything he needs.

The balance between reception and bestowal will be set by the person himself because the most important thing for him is to receive what is necessary from society and feel that it is completely sufficient.

A person will be feeling the balance internally, the fact that his bestowal is equal to reception.
