Question: UNESCO conducted a survey of 15,000 people from all over the world about what problems most concern the population of the planet. Young people under the age of 35 comprised 57% of the respondents.

It turned out that the problem that most worries humanity is global warming and the disappearance of species, both fauna and flora. Almost 60% of respondents talked about this. Second were conflicts and violence. Third was discrimination and inequality. And fourth was the lack of water, food, and shelter.

What do you think is the most important problem for humanity?

Answer: How to exist in a warm, kind, supportive, confident environment for us and our children. We need to understand how we can, if not control nature, then control ourselves in order to bring ourselves closer to nature.

Question: Then I will be fine and so will my neighbors, relatives, and everyone?

Answer: Sure. The most important thing is to find out the cause of the many conflicts that exist between us and between us and nature. The reason! And then we will know what the greatest danger to us is and what to do about it.

Question: What is the reason?

Answer: Our huge contradiction with each other, our huge egoism, which divides us, pushes us apart, sets us against each other, and does not allow us to gather and thus bring ourselves and the entire world around us into a balanced, good state.

There is nothing else. The only force that spoils everything in the world is human egoism. Let’s make sure that we know how to manage it.

You can see that if we walk away from somewhere, like Chernobyl, for example, then everything immediately calms down. There are no problems and nature blooms.

But if we could remove egoism from a person, there would be nothing left of him! So, we should not think about how to remove it, but how to correct it so that this force is positive, and not negative.

We see how a mother takes care of her child. That is, people can do this despite the fact that they are egoists, if they have love for another. So we just need to achieve love for our neighbor. That’s all.

Do not kill anything. On the contrary, add love to your neighbor. And then everything will be in order. We won’t want to destroy anything.

Question: Has this person Bilam ever existed in history?

Answer: It is quite possible he existed because every spiritual quality must be manifested in matter. Almost everything written in the Torah happened in our world.

Question: Did Bilam deliberately plunge into egoism?

Answer: The fact is that all the villains of the world performed their specific tasks.

Question: Did he go for it consciously, i.e., split the head of the serpent, attract evil forces from the serpent, and so on?

Answer: No. He existed in our world, but he did not know his vices just as the Pharaoh did not know he was representing the entire egoism of the world. He fulfilled his function because he was a pharaoh while believing this is normal correct behavior.

When the Creator said to Moses, “Come unto Pharaoh for I have hardened his heart,” Pharaoh did not feel that his heart was hardened; he was just doing his work. He did not even need to know about it because all the negative characters were not connected to the Creator; they are opposite to Him. Therefore, they lack awareness of their mission, which they perform purely automatically.

Question: They say that freewill is when I do anything that I want. But maybe a person is freer when he does what he does not want?

Answer: If I do what I want, it means that my desire manages me. If I do what I do not want, this is already a question.

How can I do what I do not want? This can only be if the upper light influences me. If I still do something, it means that my desire has changed, which means that I already want to.

So, freewill eventually brings me to a point where I do what I do not want to do. It is in this state that my freewill is expressed.

Question: Recently, the question often asked on your channels is: “Where to begin studying Kabbalah?” People say that there are a lot of different materials on the Internet, including videos with you. But what is the right way to begin so as not to get confused?

Answer: I would still advise them to enter a group that is beginning the training, and to systematically engage in it. If they want to move faster, then more intensive classes are possible in parallel with this group.

We have a lot of literature, audio and video materials. But still, to move forward correctly, you need to be attached to some group.

Question: Indeed, there is a huge amount of material. Can a person figure it out for himself?

Answer: I think not.

I read material about Kabbalah for five years without any guidance, I passed through many different teachers. But until I found my teacher, I did not understand anything systematically. I had a big farce in my head and in my heart.

Only systematic classes bring our thoughts in order and give a complete picture of the world.

Question: What actions can a person perform in the spiritual world in order to acquire knowledge, and is this knowledge always aimed at the Creator?

Answer: There is no object, goal, or system in the spiritual world that we can discover and aspire for other than the Creator.

We are totally inside Him. But the more we connect to Him by different attributes, attainments, knowledge, and powers to mutually and bilaterally bestow unto Him and to receive a response from Him, the better off we will be because we will attain the optimal form of life best for us.

There is nothing other than the Creator in spirituality. It is an upper field in which we exist, and the goal of our development is only the attainment of the center of the field, its upper pole.

When reading the Torah, it is very important to remember that it talks only about spiritual states. If it writes about some king and his little kingdom, it speaks about what happens in our egoism, what desires reign in it, and what we can do with them: correct, overthrow, and appoint other desires.

The king is an egoistic desire, which at the moment, reigns in part of our common desire and guides us.

We have many different desires and they are all in a certain relationships with each other. These relations and their interactions, in principle, paint a picture of the world for us.

Thus, we feel that we live inside our desires, which consist of inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human levels. Moreover, in a human desire there are millions of different small desires, so-called “kings,” among which there are also large ones.

We are trying to overcome the desire that is reigning now, to capture this city and this king.

Question: Who becomes a king?

Answer: It depends on the period in history. Yet, we are not talking about history, but about what is happening inside us, the exaltation of some properties and overthrowing of others so they replace each other, and all this rolls from the beginning of history to its end.

If I am ready for bestowal to the upper without any conditions and reject all doubts, then I have reached the state of a spiritual embryo. I want to annul all my criticism. After all, the embryo receives nutrition with the mother’s blood through the umbilical cord without any way to control this filling and no mind or feelings to check it.

No one asks him whether he wants this filling or some other; he simply completely annuls himself and receives all the nourishment from the upper.

This is an example of how we should be in spirituality—receive everything that the upper gives. But what about our egoism, the desire to enjoy? Whether we want it or not, we need to accept this whole world—simply in the form of a fetus.

Everything that I feel in my senses is the upper and I am obliged to accept, justify, and bless it so that there is nothing but the Creator who determines everything. Instead of this whole world, I should see one upper force, and this will mean that I have entered the state of a spiritual embryo.

And then my egoism will grow more and more during the nine months of pregnancy and development from Malchut to Keter. And on top of this growing desire to receive, I have to annul myself more and more and take on a new form above all criticism.

Criticism indicates that the embryo has grown and gained intelligence and feelings. But he annuls all this in order to receive more and more blood from the upper through the umbilical cord. All nine months of the development of the embryo before the spiritual birth are only self-annulment, self-annulment, and self-annulment with respect to the whole world. After all, the whole world is the Creator in relation to whom we annul ourselves. And it is impossible to cope without an environment.

This is an exciting adventure given to us in this world. There is nothing else to do in this world except annul ourselves relative to the upper so that he will raise us. Thus, we will leave the animal framework and enter the human framework, which we define ourselves. After all, the upper gave us an opportunity; we annul ourselves before Him and begin to grow.

Once we were one soul, which then shattered. Therefore, by working on connection in the ten, we are essentially working on the entire global Kli of Adam HaRishon because it is broken only relative to us. It only seems to us that it is broken.

Therefore, it is not terrible that we do not understand how to achieve the form of bestowal. The common Kli affects each of us and all of us together and from us shapes the soul, that is, a form similar to the Creator despite the fact that it is based on the desire to receive.

The point of the spiritual embryo is complete annulment of my desire to receive. And then, in the place where I restrict and annul myself, I begin to feel the opposite side of this point, which is the Creator. And then this point sticks to the wall of the uterus of the upper and allows me to continue to develop in the form of bestowal.

Question: If every person attains the meaning of life and becomes a rational person, then no one will be able to control people. Will the world’s elites allow this to happen?

Answer: It is not up to them. We are all under the governance of the upper force. It has control over us, not the elites.

Naturally, while we are in our egoistic state, the upper force does not manifest itself. It hides and controls us through the so-called elites. But this is all temporary. Humanity will gradually mature to a state where it will be forced to change itself, and then the role of the elites will finally collapse.
