Comment: You say humanity is being pushed toward awareness by blows.
My Response: Naturally. We see that the blows are pushing humanity toward a more realistic view of the world.
Comment: There is a vast amount of information in this world.
My Response: There is no vast amount of information here. It is all nonsense, all on the earthly level, at the level of a small man who can collect crumbs from what he imagined with his five material senses and a small head, and at the same time, he thinks he is drowning in these crumbs.
There is no need to drown in it. Why? You must imagine this world as something that is depicted in your ego, rise above it, and then you will see it as a small grain, because there is no vast information here. These are all your little egoistic impressions of what is depicted to you.
You are like a child who imagines this world as if there is so much in it! But in fact, there is nothing in it. This is purely egoistic matter seeking to maintain an optimal egoistic state throughout its existence and then die.
What is there in this world? What can you offer me between life and death if it all comes to an end?
Nothing. That means I am no longer interested in it. If everything ends, I am no longer interested. This is how I look at life. And this is why I immediately dismiss all your philosophies and politics. What is America or Russia, what difference does it make to me? As the Prophet says, “Calm down, calm down, nations.”
Comment: But you are talking from a position of knowing.
My Response: Not because I know! Once, I did not know anything either. But I was looking at the fact that it all has a beginning and an end. So what difference does it make to me what happens midway?
If the train is heading to a junkyard, what then? We sit in it, open a bag of sandwiches, chicken, beer, and play cards. And then what? We are going to a dead end anyway. Therefore, I am not getting on this train. And if there are theaters, movies, and all kinds of games inside the train, I have no interest in that either, because it is going to a dead end. I do not look at human history, the public, politics, or anything else, because it is all inside this train.
I have held this view since childhood. I could not see it any other way. I had to find another way, take another train, like Harry Potter’s platform “nine and three-quarters.” I need to find the platform from which the train departs in the other direction.
Comment: But you did not initially assume that you could simply feel it.
Answer: Of course, I did not know where it was, but I also did not want to board that train. That was the most important thing for me. So I ran from everywhere, tried to search, but could not find anything. It was not easy for me. But when I found Kabbalah, I immediately quit my business with pleasure and immersed myself in it.
I do not advocate this kind of lifestyle. It is given to a person either as happiness or as misfortune. I do not know how to say this, but it is a special desire for a goal. I am just saying that many people are in this state today. Therefore, I appeal to them, to those who are looking for another train and not the one that goes to a dead end. That is the most important thing.
The Torah states that it is a cure for death. This intrigued me because it is the most important thing. Everything else is nonsense; everything else does not matter. I am saying this as an old man. What does it matter what you fill your life with? You are only 30 years old, while I do not have much time left. I am telling you, there is nothing else to base your life on.
And when the younger generation finally begins to understand this early in life, it is simply a blessing that they are given such an epiphany from above, not to be polluted by various conventions.
They need to find an environment for themselves, whose purpose is clear and precise—to achieve eternity.
