The way you react to a child is how the Creator responds to them.

Question: So through me, the Creator responds to the child? If I live with this awareness, is that called education?

Answer: Yes, in doing so, you open channels of connection between the child and the Creator.

Question: Through me, the Creator connects with the child? Am I supposed to open the Creator to the child?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: That is an incredible responsibility!

My Response: It is as if you are introducing them to each other.

Question: Beautiful! Tell me, should this awareness come to the parents even before the child is born?

Answer: In general, yes. We have spoken about this more than once.

Question: We have, but we have a million questions after that. For people, this is not just interesting, it is vital. But actually, we never said it quite the way you just did: “I open a channel for the child through myself.”

After such a warm and loving upbringing, how is the child supposed to go out into such a cold world?

Answer: If the child perceives the world correctly, then they will have no problem. They will feel the world is multi-layered, at least as themselves, their parents, their home, etc., and strangers. They will know how to relate all of it correctly.

Question: Does that mean the parents succeeded in bringing the Creator to the child?

Answer: Yes.

How can I come to the group and obligate them to provide me with a feeling of the importance of attaining the goal? After all, I do not feel the need to obligate the group to give me that. So where do I begin?

I must come to the group even without feeling this necessity. This is called “a desire in the absence of a desire,” and that is exactly why everything is concealed. I can come to the group and say: “Friends, I do not want any goal. But I am signing a contract with you; influence me so that I will want it!” Every person has this ability!

For example, I know that diabetes is dangerous. So what? I will eat sweets, pastries now and then, and it will be fine.

I come to the group without yet feeling the importance of the goal. Yes, they talk about it, show me things, give examples, but I do not feel it myself. So I find a group, pay them money, and say: “Increase the awareness of the importance and necessity of the goal, make me feel that it hurts to continue like this, make me want to give it up, because otherwise I am destroying myself.”

A person is capable of turning to the group in this way. If not for this, the entire method would not exist because the whole point of the method is to feel I have already suffered before a blow comes as if I have already received it.

Question: How can people learn the right attitude toward one another without formal studying?

Answer: Only those who really have an inner urge, an inclination, and realization that it is necessary go to study. Otherwise, what is there to teach? The correct attitude?

A person learns the correct attitude on oneself based on their feelings and inner actions, from the fact that one feels bad and wants to find what is good. It is explained to them where to find a positive feeling so that a person can feel better thanks to one’s correct attitude toward people and toward the Creator. This is not acquired through formal study.

We study because we want to master the methodology to teach others. But when teaching a person, you should not simply sit them down to study. Why all of a sudden? These are natural processes that a person must undergo internally. Moreover, we see how few people are naturally suited for structured learning. It is meant only for those who will later teach others, but teach them practically how to act.

You might say, “Yes, but it is written that through study we draw the surrounding light upon us, and besides that, there is no other means.” Yet again, this applies only to those who must correct themselves as priests or teachers. Others correct themselves solely through their attitude. Just the attitude—nothing else is needed.

Sit and study for hours? Not at all! A person simply needs an explanation. They need a group that demonstrates how they should relate in order to reach the purpose of creation—union with the Creator. It is also necessary to teach that the Creator is the upper force that operates in nature. The more I obey this force, the more I merge with Him; and when I distance myself from Him, I get “spanked” like an unreasonable child because I am not merged with Him.

Today these words have lost their flavor and give people the impression that this is about religion. In reality, we are simply being taught how to fulfill the laws of nature. There is a universal law: if you do not follow it, you suffer. You must fulfill it through your attitude toward Him: as He relates to you, so must you relate to Him.

Question: You are not a sentimental person, so why is it that when we speak about your teacher Rabash, I often see your eyes suddenly become moist, as if you become a different person. A really different one!

Answer: There is nothing to be done because the root of my soul is in him. That is why I become different.

Question: You found your soul that way, right?

Answer: Yes, that is, somehow, millions of years before I met him, the root of my soul was there, and little by little, I was as if digging for it there until I found it. I do not know how to put it in words.

Question: So your journey through this life, all of your search was leading to this root of your soul in one way or another?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: Then you are a happy person; you found the root of your soul. Everyone needs that.

Answer: Everyone has it, and everyone must search for it.

Question: In the war against the evil inclination, we are essentially fighting against the will of the Master, the Creator, of this desire. After all, the desire to receive is a function entirely controlled by Him. So does that mean that fighting the evil inclination actually means fighting the Creator who made it? How then can we fight Him?

Answer: By asking the Creator to help us overcome our evil inclination.

The Creator made it by His external action so that through this external action we would come to an internal one.

Question: What does it mean that I go to war against the evil inclination?

Answer: It means you want to fight all those thoughts and desires that are against unity, against rising toward the Creator; you want to erase them and not to listen to them.

Question: Our work is regular, according to a schedule: the lesson, Zoom meetings, and dissemination. What can we add to this to truly turn it into a war against the evil inclination?

Answer: That depends on your thoughts and on your goals, on whether you will actually do something or not. And if you do, then with what intention and how it will be expressed.

That is why the war against the evil inclination within us is never-ending. The Creator waits until we become convinced of this. Only then can we genuinely ask Him to pull us out, to free us, from the power of the evil inclination over us.

That is, Tzava [army] are men of war. These are people who go each day to fight the evil inclination. They are called “army” (Rabash, Article No. 6, “What Is Above Reason in the Work?”).

Question: We usually say that a person fights with his evil inclination, with his egoism—that is, I am fight. But here it is talking about an army, that is, about some kind of unification. What turns me or us into an army?

Answer: It is your connection with your friends. When you unite with each other with the desire to go against your evil inclination, egoism, and in spite of it, mutually strive toward each other, it turns out that the group, the ten, defeats the evil inclination.

Question: Does this mean that we are fighting some kind of collective, unified egoism?

Answer: Yes, united egoism is the egoism of all of you, your group, and those who are connecting to it. But in spite of it, you need to strive toward the goal. And the goal is only in connection, in merging of all of us with each other.

Question: Should we now, in our time, strengthen ourselves and address Him as the Creator of armies? If so, then what is that?

Answer: We must strive for connection between us, when everyone feels it as the most important thing. And the fact is that a person feels himself as a separated unit, detached from others, that is no longer important to him. We must strive for the feeling of each other in connection with others.

Question: What is your opinion on the claim that there is a suicide gene? They say American scientists have identified 22 suicide-related genes. Does this gene really exist? Do you believe it has an effect?

Answer: As far as a gene, I do not know, I am not an expert in that field. But a predisposition to it certainly exists. The Japanese have it, and there are other peoples and tribes, or historical periods when it appears, and so on.

Question: And how can one supposedly overcome this predisposition or gene?

Answer: With the meaning of life.

Question: Meaning? Only the search for meaning?

Answer: Only that. What else is there? The meaning of life and its correct realization are leading you to a new life even now. You do not need to die or imagine anything. You can see your future world already in this life. It is right in front of you; it only depends on the correct realization.

Question: Can you tell us what the meaning of life is?

Answer: The meaning of life is to change one’s nature from receiving to bestowing, from hatred to love, from rejection to rapprochement with others. Then within these qualities, you will feel an entirely different form of existence. It will be an opposite world.

You will find fulfillment in the act of fulfilling others. And in that, there will be no disappointment.

Comment: It would be wonderful if a person could really live like that!

My Response: We will reach that.
