Questions About The Creator

Question: What is the revelation of the Creator? Does it happen when you transcend the Machsom (barrier)? Is it the exit to a new dimension?

Answer: The revelation of the Creator is the revelation of the one general desire in our unity, above our personal egoistic forces.

Question: You say that the Creator only wants what’s good for us, but how can He want anything? Is He alive?

Answer: This is how, in our feelings, we perceive nature’s (the upper force’s) attitude toward us.

Question: How does the wisdom of Kabbalah explain Spinoza’s theory that God is nature?

Answer: God is everything, and everything is nature.

Is It Possible To Change Fate?

Question: Can a person who realizes himself through the wisdom of Kabbalah independently change his fate?

Answer: Certainly, when a person realizes himself, he begins to understand why he acts the way he acts, why he is managed like this, and what the consequences of his actions are. It is not easy to reach this, but he can attain a state in which he will adhere so much with the Creatorthat his influence on the Creator and the influence of the Creator on him become absolutely transparent to him.

Question: Through being involved with the wisdom of Kabbalah, can a person change his attitude toward the world as well as change events that haven’t happened in our world yet?

Answer: The results of the events are always the same: the correction of the person. Let’s say that I’m in school, and it makes no difference how I behave and what I do, I must graduate. I could be beaten, left behind a second year as a punishment, or on the contrary, be encouraged, but in any case, I must finish school.

Question: Isn’t the desire to reach revelation of the Creator in the best way also an egoistic desire?

Answer: Of course, everything begins from an egoistic desire to escape suffering. However, then we begin to understand that the characteristic of bestowal, unity, and altruism is above all else.

This understanding leads to the fact that we begin to work with Upper Light, which corrects and changes us to such an extent, it makes no difference to us what we receive in exchange for our work. Being in the property of bestowal is above our egoistic nature. This is a great reward.

How To Keep The Family Together

Question: 88% of women claim that boredom and the routine of life sabotage married life and cause the disintegration of the family unit. But now psychologists from Canada determined that it is completely the opposite. It is specifically the routine, boredom, and quiet at home that help to protect and support the family unit.

They believe that the guarantee for familial happiness is not really wild passions with breaking plates and pans flying in the air, but rather sitting quietly at home next to the computer with a cup of tea and a good movie. This is what brings people together more than anything.

Answer: Children depend on the education and the example they get from their parents and see what a family should be. The parents should be aimed at creating the right family atmosphere for the children. Even when they quarrel with each other, they still work together. Of course this passes before the children’s eyes.  Therefore, the parents should cancel themselves for the sake of preserving the family connection.

Since everything comes from our spiritual source, there is great importance to maintaining the nuclear family at all costs, and we need to preserve and develop it. In order that the children will absorb this, it is worthwhile for them to grow up with two parents while maintaining order in the family organization. The current outbreaks ofegoism, the technical and technological developments, don’t need to interfere with the strength of familial relationships.

The media present incorrect information and impose upon society incorrect examples of human behavior and create great harm with this. The society must uproot this problem since we are killing the foundation of humanity this way.

Freedom of choice is irrelevant to the development of life and the continuity of the generations. In this, there is no freedom of choice. We need to differentiate between the natural, familial lifestyle and the attitude toward spirituality where freedom is internal and in no manner touches upon the undisputed framework called the family. Otherwise, humanity will cease to exist.

The Creator, A Field Of Goodness

Question: Why do you speak about the upper forces and not about the God if the wisdom of Kabbalah relates to the Bible?

Answer: The word “Creator” refers to the general upper force ofnature, which is called the upper force since it is above everything in its power, volume, and size. It is the force of goodness, the force of giving and bestowal, which determines everything and includes all of the force of nature.

We can discover, understand, and attain this force. Therefore, it is called Creator, Bore,stemming from the Hebrew words  “Bo – re” – “come and see.” We cannot understand what the Torah says unless we reveal it because it isn’t about faith.

We must learn how to read the Torah because it is written in a very accurate, concrete, but secret and allegorical language. Therefore, it isn’t a historical novel, but a code that can be deciphered only by studying the wisdom of Kabbalah. The Book of Zohar is the commentary on the Five Books of Moses (the Torah). We can begin to understandThe Book of Zohar by studying the wisdom of Kabbalah and thus understand the Torah.

We don’t use the name God so as not to confuse the students by associations with what they previously imagined the upper force to be and the fact that there is seemingly a God in the image of man who sits up there looking at us, seeing everything and managing us. The upper force is within us, between us, filling the entire space. This is the field we speak of. It isn’t a corporeal field, but a spiritual one that is on a higher dimension, a field that contains everything and affects everything, a field of goodness.

What Happens To A Person When He Transcends The Machsom?

Question: What happens to a person when he transcends theMachsom (barrier)? Does he enter a new dimension?

Answer: Yes, a person exits his egoistic intentions and enters altruistic intentions, which enables him to feel what is external to him, outside of his natural perception.

Question: What actually happens to a person?

Answer: It is the revelation of a new dimension in new attributes of love and bestowal that are above human nature that a person acquires by his efforts to connect to thefriends who study the wisdom of Kabbalah with him in a group. The change that takes place in a person is actually a person’s spiritual birth and the attainment of the soul.
[173759]

How Is It Possible To Discover The System Of Creation?

Question: According to what criteria is it possible to determine whether a person is going in the right direction?

Answer: If a person carries out what is written in the wisdom of Kabbalah—meaning that he works in a group correctly, making an effort to connect with his friends in order to attract the Upper Light—this means that he is going in the right direction.

With a good connection that is created between him and his friend, he discovers the system of higher management because everything that there is in creation is discovered between ten friends, only in miniature form. Their connection is built like a hologram. There is one big picture within which it is possible to take out some part and see the full picture within it, but on a smaller scale.

In the same manner, we take a group that is composed of ten people (ten smallSefirot), and they attain everything that exists in creation within it, but in a small form. Certainly, we don’t see details and particulars there, but if we join an additional group of ten with this group of ten, our field of vision will grow, and in this manner we can expand the perception of our reality. Our task is to discover the system of creation.

Question: Did you study in a group of ten?

Answer: I learned through a different method, one on one with my teacher. This was a different system through which, in its time, it was possible to prepare a person to continue the work. Studying alone is much more difficult and complicated than studying in a group, but this was necessary because this made it possible for me to acquire the training method.

Today, there is no longer a need for this method. I am sure that I was the last who received knowledge from his teacher like this, whereas now the world has crystallized as an integral system so that starting from our generation and on solitary Kabbalists are not required.

Is It Worth Expending Effort On Procreation?

Question: According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, we shouldn’t waste energy on attaining temporary corporeal desires. My daughter absolutely refuses to have children because it takes up vital resources. Is she right?

Should we expend energy on giving birth to the next generation?

Answer: This is a very logical and relevant question today. A person who gets married in his 30’s will have to take care of his family in the following 20 years until his children grow up and are able to take care of themselves and become independent. This means that instead of spending the best years of his life on his spiritual development, he has to dedicate them to bringing up his offspring, not knowing what they will live on and how they will make their living in the future.

Is it worth it? We may say that according to our current lifestyle humanity has to make sure that it continues to exist. People have to work and to invest their energy in having a family and bringing up their kids and, at the same time, they should implement the wisdom of Kabbalah in their spiritual development.

The wisdom of Kabbalah wasn’t given to us so that a person could study for 24 hours a day or during all the time he doesn’t work. By providing all his basic necessities of living, working, and having a family, he will fulfill the connection between himself and the rest of the world as the system of creation and nature require.

The wisdom of Kabbalah is a practical science. Some who study engage in it as a profession. They begin to work with the population, become instructors or Kabbalah teachers. The ratio of ordinary teachers in our world compared to the population is one teacher for every fifty people, while the number of Kabbalah teachers is much smaller, and without them we will not be able to manage in the future.

Our aspiration is reaching the point of having  a great number of Kabbalah teachers so that for every 50 people in the world, there will be one Kabbalist who will lead their team, teach, and take care of that group. Gradually all of humanity will be divided into different groups headed by a Kabbalist teacher. These teachers need to continue studying, developing, and improving their skills, while ordinary people will have to fulfill what they have received like a student who graduates from school, leaves his teachers, and implements what he has learned.

Man And The Creator Are Partners

Question: Do I systematically fail in finding a job, as well as in my marriage, because of my own choices, or is it predetermined by upper forces?

Answer: You should try to do everything you can to improve your situation, but, at the same time, you should understand that everything depends on the upper force. This means that you should believe that everything comes from the same force and, at the same time, make efforts on your part toward correction. Thus, you and the Creator become partners and together determine your path.

Question: What should I do if I am not interested in studying the wisdom of Kabbalah, but life brings along one blow after another and leads me to study?

Answer: You should be grateful for that since if it weren’t for the blows that life brings along, you wouldn’t have reached the wisdom of Kabbalah. This is a very good diagnosis of your state. There are people who study Kabbalah and hate it and the Kabbalists but feel obliged to continue studying. Later, they understand more deeply what a treasure they have been given and why the upper forces compel them to continue studying, and the study changes them.

Where Can We Hide From The Onslaught Of Refugees?

Question: You once said that refugees will start coming from the East towards Europe and that this will have severe consequences. I live in Germany and I would like to know what I should do, and whether I should flee back to Russia?

Answer: Russia will not be safe from these forces! There is only one way to escape them and that is by drawing the positive force into our world without running away anywhere.

Humanity exists only in the negative egoistic force, which leads to clashes between us. However, we can create the right motion forward but only by drawing the positive force into our world that will balance the negative force and make our world a harmonious place. This is the only free choice we have and the only way to correct the present situation.

Comment: But many young people enter Germany every day and behave as if they own the place and not as people who need help.

Answer: Of course! It would be naïve to think differently! These immigrants believe that they should be provided with shelter and money, and the Europeans don’t understand yet who they are dealing with so they measure everyone according to their standards.

But from the immigrant’s’ perspective, Europe owes them; their attitude is “serve us; do everything for us and then get lost and we will take your place.” It is very simple! They are carefully and specifically guided as to how to bring this about.

What I said many years ago is now being manifest, and so in the next decade we will see how Europe changes, voluntarily,  in a democratic way.

The Revival Of The Ancient Wisdom

Question: What is the destiny of the Israeli nation, which is undergoing difficult times now?

Answer: If the Israeli nation wants to survive, it must implement the method of salvation that it has and pass it on to the rest of the world. In his time, Abraham discovered this method of integral unity of all of humanity.

Abraham, being a priest in ancient Babylon, engaged in the ideological education of the people. Suddenly, he noticed that people had become very egoistic, hostile, and intolerant toward each other. He began to study what was happening to his people and realized that egoism was growing. He described the method of coping with egoism in his book, The Book of Creation.

Egoism is the natural force of nature. It is said that the Creator created the evil inclination, but at the same time gave man the opportunity to extract the force of goodness that is concealed in nature.

In other words, our world exists only in evil, but if we want to, we can balance it by the good force that is concealed in nature. This is attained by the connection and unity between us. The more we strive to get close to one another, despite our egoism, the more that the connections established between us will reveal the good force and balance the evil force.

This balance is actually what we need in order to exist. This method is called the wisdom of Kabbalah. Abraham discovered it and began teaching it to his students, and thus the nation of Israel was born from this group and lived in unity for 1,500 years, keeping the principle of “Love your neighbor as yourself,” and then fell from this level to unfounded hatred. It has been in exile ever since.

But the method of unity has remained. It is in the wisdom of Kabbalah, although the people didn’t even know. For many years, the wisdom of Kabbalah was considered a secret wisdom that was concealed because no one had a need for it. Today it is coming back to life because humanity has reached a state where it should be used, not only by the nation of Israel, but by all of the people on earth.

Life Is An Integration Of Two Forces

In spiritual advancement, great obstacles are placed before a person—all the big egoistic forces that in the Torah are called Balak, Balaam, etc. continue to grow. By overcoming them, a person ascends and begins to understand the structure of the management of the world.

Precisely through the contradictions and problems that he faces and through their gradual resolution, a person becomes wise and strong in intellect, desire, and understanding, and in this way he can take upon himself the reins for the management of the system of creation.

On the way to the summit, the egoistic forces push a person away from the mission more and more strongly. First he corrects the desires of the world of Beria, then those of the world of Yetzira and then those of the world of Assiya, and then he gradually raises them all to the level of Atzilut. The process of correction is done from easy to more difficult problems because the correction of easier problems helps him to understand, discover, and correct problems that are more difficult.

With the help of two opposing forces, a person begins to manipulate his properties, and then builds himself between two systems (the right and left lines) through the right connection between them, as in an electrical equation of plus and minus, or capacitor and solenoid. After all, everything in nature is constructed according to the right integration of two forces.

Life is always between opposing characteristics and the mutual and correct cooperation between them. So the wisdom of Kabbalah relies on this principle, correctly matching them and existing between them. Only in this way can a person discover theCreator, the system, the force, that is above these two forces.

Why Marry?!

Comment: British scientists have conducted sociological research in the field of family relations and noted that since 1990 fewer people marry, preferring to cohabit with one another.

In addition, they also discovered that compared to the last century, when girls usually married in their 20s, women now marry when they reach the age of 30.

Answer: Egoism is constantly growing and naturally adapts to what is most beneficial for it. Therefore, such changes occur.

If in the past women devoted their lives to their families in their 20s, got married and cared for their children and the home and found that satisfying, today most want to see the world and be free of the commitment to one man.

The same goes for most men today. They don’t think about marriage but want to live under their mother’s wing. Most men between the age of 30-35 are satisfied with an interesting job, friends with whom they spend their spare time, and when they want a woman, they go out to a nightclub, meet a woman, and for him that is enough for one night. This way they are much more relaxed and free, so what’s the point of getting married?

Today, the attitude toward this issue is quite different than what it was in previous generations. Egoism today is transforming. A person demands less of the environment and from himself, and thus experiences fewer disappointments. And because he wants a rapid succession of big, fleeting pleasures, he doesn’t need a serious relationship with one partner. Let me enjoy now and what will be tomorrow—it does not matter.

At the same time there is growth in the use of drugs and antidepressants and an increase in divorce rate, etc.

A person doesn’t need anything anymore but his cell phone or captivating movies that blur his senses and cut him off from reality. He can satisfy all his needs with that and is ready to pay for it. In the future perhaps they’ll invent something else and he may be connected to an electrode while he can lie down most of the time feeling good.

When a person realizes the situation he is in, it is a sign that he is developing properly and he begins to acquire the right attitude to life.

Question: Will the same changes take place in our nutrition?

Answer: It will happen in every aspect of our life. Most of the world population will be unemployed and the way to feed everyone will be by substances and drugs that will be injected into people’s bodies that will blur reality, thus bringing the world to its end. The ego establishes a clear and accurate attitude in us regarding what is happening in the world today.

If we want to establish a different attitude, a person will have to undergo a change and to change his worldview and then he will receive different pleasures and impressions from life. But in order to do so, we need a different method for operating the ego.

First a person has to undergo the phase called the recognition of evil, in which his life is reflected to him as a short and temporary pleasure. Because the ego needs an infinite filling, the best way will be to transcend it and to use it in a way that is opposite to human nature: from the direction of one’s own sake to the direction of love and bestowal. Then the ego will gradually be filled eternally and wholly.

We are going to reach this state.

There Are No Coincidences In Nature

Question: For a person who is very close to death, is there a warning, or is it just a coincidence?

Answer: In nature, there are no coincidences or chance events. Rather, everything is determined and measured with infinite precision.

When a person begins to develop with the goal of discovering the purpose of creation, he discovers the reasons for all that happens to him.

This person is no longer interested in chance events, but yearns to attain the positive force by means of which he can begin to manage his fate and develop his soul, and all of the events of his physical life lose their importance for him.

The Only Way To The Creator

Question: Do you think that Kabbalah is the only path to the Creator?

Answer: Of course. Try to find another way.

Try finding a science that is capable of investigating the whole world, the entire universe, and that would govern this world in an absolutely realistic way with no belief in any kind of superstition, a science that would provide a person with instruments for revealing the general system of governance and would show a person exactly where he should get involved in order to direct this system in a positive way for himself and for all of humanity.

Find such a methodology, and I would be happy to leave the wisdom of Kabbalah for it because today Kabbalah is precisely such a methodology.

Cyber Monday

Question: Cyber Monday has ended, the day when everything that you want is sold on the Internet with a discount of up to 90%.

This Monday follows “Black Friday,” which begins the sales period. Last year, in one day, two billion dollars of products were sold, and this year three billion. People sat glued to their computers. How would you characterize this phenomenon?

Answer: I would characterize this as a commercial event of inflating the populace because, in principle, it is the sale of emptiness, mostly things that people don’t need. But the hype around it is heated up by everyone: neighbors, the cities, advertising, and the media.

Imagine how an ordinary person is stunned by the general insanity of buying. He cannot resist it; he thinks he will miss something. He runs to do what everyone else is doing.

It is impossible to resist the temptation! It is pointless to resist! And this is what the media is trying to achieve.

The problem is that the world is in great oversupply! It would be possible to feed and fully inundate another two or three additional human populations with the products that are now manufactured. Given another planet with barefoot and naked people, they could be clothed and fed and served the full program! Just bring the money.

What would the money be for? This is also not understood. The main thing is that everything will go around. Specifically it is feared that trade will stop, forcing manufacturers to sell their products at cost and even below cost. After all, today it doesn’t matter; more money is simply printed.

Today we have gone on to a completely different level of development, where it is not money that determines how much a product costs, but the value of goods is determined by people. Do they have a need for this or not? So we are departing from being dominated by money. The game is over. The accumulation of a mass of money no longer works; we are moving on to a new system in which money will be completely eliminated!

So what will be the engine of trade, communication, and manufacturing? In what way and how will they be measured? This is the problem. It must b measured according to a different value, a value that replaces the paper that we are familiar with.

First true value was gold. Then it was changed to banknotes with no backing, and a nation could print ten times more! That means their value is completely conditional. And now it has disappeared. And what is next?

A person will simply go to work, and in exchange receive coupons for personal provisions, or won’t even receive anything at all because they will supply him with everything without any “Black Fridays.” We are moving toward socialist labor where everything operates precisely according to the principle of “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”

Question: Do you see this sign from Cyber ​​Monday?

Answer: Yes. The overproduction of goods, the value of zero and the disappearance of the money supply leads to the fact that we work not for money but for the idea that for each and everyone it is equal, as otherwise there will be none.

Comment: You are saying communist slogans now!

Answer: There is nothing to be done about it! Nature will bring us to this by force. We see that a socialist nation is more profitable than a capitalist one! It will begin to normally begin to take care of the welfare of the citizens and everything will gradually equalize. Whereas capitalism allowed for a small growth of the middle classes and then destroyed it, leaving only the poor and the rich and terrorism was squeezed in between them.

Question: Are you basically talking about what a Soviet person felt in his time?

Answer: No, that was an economically ugly and unjust regime! It seemed to justify itself ideologically: it was apparently worthwhile to pay for equality, friendship, and brotherhood. But it wasn’t! And now these are gradually appearing and pulling new social relationships after them. We are reaching this through natural development! It is even possible to begin to develop ourselves correctly now, to advance forward, not by means of a club and suffering, but through self-education. And then we will achieve this in a better and smoother way.

Question: Does this mean that money will disappear and everything will be based upon connections between people?

Answer: Only connections between people will provide our world with the release of good energy which will balance all of us and really transform our next state, literally miraculously. You will be investing a penny and getting a million! This is because you will no longer adding egoism to your actions, which slows everything down and causes competition. On the contrary, there will be a merging with nature.

Angels Are Forces

The Torah, “Numbers” 22:22: God’s wrath flared because he was going, and an angel of the Lord stationed himself on the road to thwart him, and he was riding on his she-donkey, and his two servants were with him.

There is only one law in nature that refers to all of the levels of existence called the law of love and bestowal. The Torah calls the individual forces of this law “angels.”

The law of gravity, for example, can be described as an angel that sits inside the earth and catches everything that is in the air and on the surface of the earth and pulls it to the ground.

A person feels angels as positive or negative forces because a person can measure and feel a certain phenomenon in his senses only compared to a phenomenon that is opposite to it such as light and darkness, cold and heat, bitterness and sweetness, strength and weakness, and so on. This is how every phenomenon appears in nature because everything must be balanced.

A person also exists opposite from the Creator at first. Although the Creator is concealed from us, we measure everything in relation to Him. This is our nature, and therefore, it is actually in this oppositeness that we feel we exist.

Different Fates, One Goal

Question: Why were each of us given a different fate?

Answer: It is because the eight billion people who populate this planet are an integral system in itself that is made of ten Sefirot. Ten Sefirotis the system of humanity, a powerful system that has ten components, and is one whole and unique which includes all of us and all of our attributes.

Kabbalists study and explore the system: who is in it, which part he belongs to, how the nations connect within it, and how it can be led to total integral unity. Then, all of humanity will be balanced with nature that surrounds us, and we all will ascend to the next level of our evolution, to another dimension.

A person who studies the wisdom of Kabbalah and perceives it, sees these ten Sefirot. On the one hand, he is incorporated in them, in their action, and at the same time, he still is tied to humanity by his feet and must care about its ascent.

The Collapse Of The Climate Conference

Question: Last month at the conclusion of the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris, Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations called it a triumph for the people of the planet Earth. He stressed that the countries agreed to hold the rise of global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius. He also said, “The agreement must go through a very important test, the execution, and that work will begin tomorrow.”

The entire world saw how the participants of the committee stood arm in arm in great spirits.

Answer: Everyone agrees that there is no turning back from the Red Line. All of their beautiful words don’t say anything, especially as they aren’t put into action. Humanity never learns from its previous mistakes. Thus, the optimistic speech of the Secretary-General of the UN remains hanging in the air.

Question: Aren’t you optimistic?

Answer: I have no basis for optimism. I am a realist and look at things in a realistic way.

According to all of the calculations, if we continue with our way of existence as it stands now and do not change ourselves from egoism to altruism, then we are sentenced to a fast, sharp, unpleasant end.

No half measures will help. Through all the history of development, humanity has never learned anything and transitioned from bad to good, but only from bad to worse. This is not pessimism, only reality.

At the heart of our world we really find egoism, and if we don’t change it, it will continue to bury us.

Question: For the simple person, it is difficult to understand that we must turn from egoists to altruists.

Answer: Whether one understands it or not, reality doesn’t change. We exist in the framework of the laws of nature, and if we don’t change through our inner correction from egoistic hatred to relationships of love and mutual integration with one another, then everything will continue to run as usual. Then we are heading toward the end of civilization.

This future is not far away. I think that in the next 20 to 30 years, we will witness destruction, not only of the environment, but also self-destruction. The only way out is to change man’s nature, which is the core of all problems. Each person lives not only for himself, but to the detriment of others.

When we were not so connected to each other, when we weren’t an integral civilization and connected as a small village, then everything was more or less all right.

But we have reached a state where we are locked into one, unique system that must be mutual and altruistic. Otherwise, it very quickly swallows itself like a cancerous growth that devours itself at an incredible rate.

If we needed an example, given 100,000 years to evolve until now, then only 100 or 150 years would be enough to destroy everything.

There is only one reason, the human ego. Since it is scattered, it locally damages the body of human civilization, and the disease manifests sometimes here and sometimes there. However, when it all is connected together, the ego, united, has become global, integrated, and simply devours everything.

Question: However, in any case, the participants of the climate committee came to some decision together. Doesn’t that mean something?

Answer: Of course not, it’s evident that nothing has changed. They have gathered more than once. Can egoism decide on something?

A correct decision can be made only if we exist as in nature, as one integral system, and stop swallowing each other, and begin to heal each other mutually and complement one another. Only then can we hope for some kind of future.

So, the solution is in our hands. I am very happy that we have reached the finish line. Certainly, the world will need the revelation of the wisdom of Kabbalah in full force so that humanity will see that there is salvation. Otherwise, humanity will be in darkness. Here, it is necessary to give humanity a light at the end of the tunnel.

We will not be able to do anything with the ego. We have one system, the wisdom of Kabbalah, which explains how to overcome egoism, how to transform it to its opposite property of communication, love, unity, and togetherness.

If humanity rejects the wisdom of Kabbalah, then it will continue to decline. Do not do it!

From the News (BBC news): “A social networking CEO is subjected to racist attacks on her own website. A cartoonist’s life is trashed by trolls. Women get rape and death threats. There’s a case to be made that online, 2015 was a year of increased hate.

Those of us who watch social media for a living – or who are long-time users of sites like Facebook and Twitter – realize that nastiness has always been a part of life online. But over the course of the past year or so, it seemed to some of us at BBC Trending that the steady background beat of online anger gradually turned into a pounding 24-7 drumbeat of angst, impossible to ignore.

“So we set out to see if levels of hate speech did rise on social media this year. …

“A recent analysis by the think tank Demos found that on average around 480,000 racial slurs are tweeted every month. Compare that figure to just 10,000 three years ago. The researchers admit that the vast majority of those uses won’t amount to hate crimes. But the numbers are still significant.

“‘A 4800 per cent increase is astonishing – far greater than the general increase in tweets over that time,’ wrote Demos research director Carl Miller. …

“Other experts agree – something has definitely happened over the past year.

“‘2015 saw a greater normalisation of hate speech in society than in previous years,’ says Andre Oboler, chief executive of the Australia-based Online Hate Prevention Institute. ‘Where previously a person might make a vague negative allusion to race, religion, gender or sexuality, by the end of 2015 the comments on social media were blatant and overt.’ …

“Oboler warns that young people will be turned off from social networks if abuse continues to increase. …”

My Comment: There is no doubt the Internet will rise above the period of bullying and will throw the bullies out. But this could take more than a decade naturally because its hosted merchants sell sensationalism and hatred.

The salvation will come from another side, not from the individual and society, but from the side of nature that develops the ego within us, and the new ego will prevail over new middle-class hatred, so that arrogant and hateful reactions will stop being interesting, and all these scoops will disappear by themselves, meaning they won’t have a buyer.

The Secret Of n-Dimensional Space

Question: I am a mathematician and I read TES and The Introduction to TES in great depth. I feel the material. Mathematics cannot describe an n-dimensional space. How can we attain this space according to the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: It is impossible to describe this space in our natural properties. That is why the wisdom of Kabbalah is called the secret wisdom, the concealed knowledge. But in fact it isn’t secret or concealed, but in order to reveal it, a person needs to acquire the properties of the upper world.

A multidimensional space can be created only inside a person, according to the space that is created in him as a result of his efforts to acquire the attributes of the upper world. It is by the connection in the group that he directly perceives the spiritual world.

The Execution Of A Shiite Cleric

Comment: The execution of the Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr in Saudi Arabia led to a great scandal in the Arab world. In response, the enraged public totally destroyed the Saudi embassy building in Iran. Consequently the two countries severed diplomatic relations and the hatred between them is now greater than their hatred toward Israel.

Answer: The infighting is the toughest and this conflict has been going on for ages! It is not the fundamental differences between the Sunni and the Shiites but the grievances that have accumulated over the centuries: who has done what to whom and who killed whom. All of this applied layer by layer results in a huge pile of hatred.

Comment: You often say that the reason is the disappearance of the Sufi movement.

Answer: In Judaism there is also a split into different religious streams because the human ego, which doesn’t yearn for one unique Creator, is involved, and it makes no difference whether you call Him Allah, God, or the Creator. The point is that the Creator is one and you should yearn for Him and not for clarifying our relations.

If we aim our thoughts at the one Creator and only seek connection with Him and His attainment, everything will be very simple. All the religions will merge into one wisdom called Kabbalah, which is the revelation of the Creator in our world.

But in order to do so, we have to work against the ego. We can only reveal the Creator in the attribute that is opposite from our nature and no one wants that. We would rather fight and quarrel for centuries than change our nature. It turns out that the most important thing for a person is to remain inside his ego, and this is the root of all the conflicts and disputes. This is the reason that we have to teach the wisdom of truth and to disseminate it, publicize it, and allow people to gradually receive this wisdom and teach them to strive for the single unified force.

There is another way of reaching the truth, but it is a path of terrible afflictions and wars. How long will it take for humanity to grow wise along the path of its internal development? After all, this has been going on for thousands of years.

We need to bring this wisdom to the world, to demonstrate, and bring all to a common denominator because we all have one Creator.
