Conventions, Psychological Impressions, And Spirituality

Question: How is it possible to differentiate the psychological impressions in a convention from spiritual impressions? Is this possible?

Answer: I don’t think it is possible to differentiate this now. But eventually this will be possible.

Psychological impressions are what happen in my natural Kelim (vessels), in my egoism. And what is needed for spiritual impressions is the acquisition of a new Kli (vessel).

Elokim Is Nature In Gematria

Question: You say that Elokim (God) in Gematria (numerology) = HaTeva (Nature). Why is that?

Answer: Elokim and nature are the same thing. All of nature in our world and in the upper world and everything that exists in creation, including us, is called “Elokim,” nature, the Creator.

Therefore, studying nature or studying the Creator is the same thing. It is not necessary to think about the Creator as something limited; it is a force that includes everything within it.

A First Book On The Wisdom Of Kabbalah

Question: I am studying the wisdom of Kabbalah in the fundamentals course. Which book should I read first?

Answer: The wisdom of Kabbalah was revealed and developed in two directions, one is the intellect and the second is in feeling.

A person is a sensory creature because the desire for fulfillment, for enjoyment is the foundation his being. But when this desire begins to feel that it wants more, wants less, receives less, receives more, and so forth, then the intellect develops within it with the function to think about how to reach the best fulfillment. It follows that there are feelings and there is the intellect, but the feelings are primary and the intellect is secondary.

Studying the wisdom of Kabbalah happens the same way, in two parallel ways: emotional and intellectual. The books that correspond to the emotional way are Shamati and Attaining the Worlds Beyond. And for the intellectual way there is Kabbalah for Beginners.

I believe that it is necessary to try both of them. Read the book that is closest to you.

Don’t Mix Different Methods

Question: What brought me to the Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Education Center was the study of numerology, tarot, and gematria (of letters and words), which I believed were derivatives of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

But as it turned out, all these are not considered part of the wisdom of Kabbalah. Should I develop my pervious hobbies or is it better to totally leave them and fully focus on working in the group and on the study?

Answer: I cannot tell you what to do. A person chooses his engagements by himself. According to the wisdom of Kabbalah: “There is no coercion in spirituality,” and this is the reason that we don’t try to persuade anyone to join us, but simply offer the method and explain it. Those who join us study according to this method and they can engage in any other method in other places.

Personally I strongly advise not to mix different methods, not to confuse them, and not to try to complement one with the other. If you do, you will find neither the beginning nor the end of it, and eventually will feel greatly confused physically, morally, and spiritually. Therefore, focus on one thing and engage only in that.

If the method you have chose doesn’t satisfy you, you can leave and go wherever you wish, but you should study and engage in one thing only. No good will come from mixing different methods because by not knowing one method or the other, you will not be able to assess the height of one method from the height of another. It will not work.

Characteristics Of The Creator

Question: What are the Creator’s properties such as power, pride, goodness, and kindness?

Answer: In relation to us, the Creator is the single property of absolute bestowal and love that is revealed in different ways. All of our characteristics arise and are developed under the influence of the upper Light. These characteristics don’t exist in the Creator. But when we attain Him, we attribute them to Him.

In relation to us, the Creator is absolute and the complete opposite of us.

Our main and only characteristic is a desire to receive, to have all kinds of needs that are awakened in us fulfilled, as if we lacked something, while the Creator has absolutely everything. Moreover, He doesn’t feel any lack, on the contrary, He is the absolute desire to bestow, to fulfill.

Even if He has a need, it is only a need to bestow, to fulfill. Like a mother who is constantly concerned about her child, constantly wanting to give him something, to help him with something, to fulfill something, that is how it is with the Creator in relation to us. This feeling is revealed in us when we attain Him.

Therefore, it is possible to say that He has a need to “pour Himself out” and cannot. From our side, we are the opposite; we want to receive and don’t know how, from whom, and in what manner. Therefore, there is a problem in creating contact between our desire to be fulfilled and the desire of the Creator to fulfill us.

This contact is possible only if our desires to be fulfilled is directed toward giving Him contentment and causing Him pleasure, just as His desire to fulfill us arouses pleasure in us.

So, it is up to us to correct ourselves. But this is not the correction of desire, for it must be as great as possible; it is the intention—fulfilling the desire for pleasure not for my sake but to give pleasure to the Creator.

In this case, the idea is not even about desires and intentions; rather, it is the manner in which we achieve resemblance to the Creator as the result of our correction. Then we rise to the level of the Creator and continue with our development beginning from this level. And regarding what happens later, we will talk about it when we attain it. This is talking about a completely different substance and completely different circumstances.

But even the beginning of the movement toward the Creator, from the first point upward, gives us a feeling of eternity, infinity, and absolute wholeness.

What Determines The Transience Of Time?

Question: Does the speed of time depend upon the age of the person? Why during childhood is it immeasurable, but in adulthood it just goes along by minutes?

Answer: It seems to us that time is objective, but in fact it is absolutely subjective, especially in regard to children. I remember when I was a child and I asked to play in the yard, my mother would say to me: “No more than an hour.” “An hour! That was an eternity!” And when I came home, she would ask: “Why were you gone for four hours?!” That is, I was living in a different continuum.

Question: Why does time pass quickly for some people, while for others it passes slowly?

Answer: It depends on desire. If the desire matches my actions, then time passes rapidly because I am enjoying it. When I am happy, time flies, as in the song, “Hours of love run; they are shorter than minutes.”

Question: What does it mean that the ego stretches time in our world?

Answer: In principle, it is not egoism that stretches time, but the Klipa (Shell), and it works so that we will pay more intention to time and not its essence.

The Book Of Zohar – Open It, Read It, Try It

Question: Are there restrictions for studying The Book of Zohar?

Answer: In our time there are no limitations for studying The Book of Zohar. It is possible to study it in any condition, in every combination, at every age.

The main thing is to open it, read it, and try to learn from it. It is desirable that the study be done through our lessons because that way there is no danger that you will become confused.

Comment: But Baal HaSulam wrote that there are three limitations that must not be violated when studying the wisdom of Kabbalah: substance, the form of the substance, and abstract form and essence.

Answer: The limitations are not about reading The Book of Zohar but about the perception of reality, meaning in what manner we must limit, connect, and shape ourselves, to direct ourselves precisely toward feeling the upper world. For this, there is a defined system of direction for us to the upper world.

The upper world is a world of forces, a world that must be copied, a world of bestowal. To the same degree that we resemble it, meaning to the degree that we are with the characteristics of bestowal, love, and connection, to that degree we begin to discover it.

Society Of The Future: The Path To A High Position

Baal HaSulam, The Last Generation: Each person who is appointed to an important position must first graduate a special training in the above mentioned teaching.

A person can not get an important and high position in the society of the future if he does not comply with it.

Meeting the requirements of the post in the future generation is complying with its moral conditions. That is, the higher a person is on the “love your neighbor as yourself” ladder and the further from his ego, the more he can stay on this level and even teach others. It also depends on his inclusion in studies, society, and implementation.

Question: Is a person obliged to take a certain course to take an important and high position?

Answer: To say this is to say nothing. This course with such internal and profound transformation can take many years. He must master this technique both theoretically and practically: to study, write works, and take exams.

This is a very serious study that changes a person and gives him completely new internal qualities. He begins to see the world as global. He sees it through others and not through himself, like a woman who has become pregnant or has already given birth and sees everything through the love of her baby: it is good or it is bad for him.

This is how each of us should look at the world. We must be constantly “pregnant” with all humanity.

Each of the members of the last generation must see the world, the goal, the path, and everything that happens only through others.

The Uniqueness Of The Current Conventions

Question: How do we prepare for conventions?

Answer: As a general rule all conventions are very different, but the current conventions are unique because people who come to them are prepared. They know why they are coming and understand precisely that it is up to them to realize themselves.

Their goal is to discover the spiritual world. This is very noticeable. But it causes me a lot of tension because I must help everyone. Whether their expectations materialize, it depends on them, but I worry about them as if they were my children, so that success will shine on them.

In Hebrew, success also denotes Mazal (luck), from the word “Nozel – dripping.” These are signs of success that come down from a higher level.

We accumulate success (Mazal) above, and after that it descends to us. Everything depends on the inner need.

The Book Is A Guide

Question: They say that Kabbalistic books have a special power? What is this power?

Answer: Both of my parents were doctors. There was a big guest room full of bookcases in the center of the house where I grew up.
As I grew, I was able to take books from the higher shelves. This is how I read everything, shelf after shelf, book after book, and developed in this way.

I see in my grandchildren that today there is no such craving for books. Such an approach to books has disappeared from the world. Even I, a representative of the older generation and accustomed to books, lately, more and more often, read texts from the computer screen.

However, I am not really upset by the fact that books may disappear from this world. After all, I think that the world is coming into big changes and that we are approaching the notion of a “spiritual book” and not a material one that is printed on paper.

The volumes that we buy, leaf through, hold in our hands, and read are not really books. A book means revelation. By reading a text, I must reveal its inner meaning, its secret code, so that the book can begin to play within me. I should become a screen on which I reveal the inner essence of the world.

This means that a book is not pages with symbols printed on them. A book is a code written in letters and conveying through them an upper wisdom, a secret knowledge of the world, unfolding within a person. Then a person turns into a book, into a story, into this place where the knowledge that the writer wanted to convey is revealed.

Therefore, I do not worry that material books are being replaced by electronic ones. For me, as a Kabbalist, the concept of a book is a message conveyed to a person by a sage who revealed the inner essence of the world.

The sage passes information about the upper world through special symbols: the 27 letters of the [Hebrew] alphabet. With the help of these letters, a person begins to decipher within himself the entire cipher passed to him by a writer. However, this only pertains to Kabbalistic books.

Lately, our world is undergoing a big transformation because it has to rise to a higher degree, from the animalistic level to the human one, where we will begin to feel the real world in which we live. Physicists and other scientists are already talking about this. Therefore, the usual books that we are accustomed to will gradually disappear and soon we will begin to reveal the world within us; precisely this revelation we will call “a book.”

The form of a book is not important—whether it is paper or electronic—the main thing is where it is revealed. A book is revealed within a person. He reads a written text, but a book begins to sound in him, to draw in him forms and pictures of the other world.

Question: When I read a normal book—a novel, for example—I am also impressed, imagine to myself various pictures, and see myself instead of the character in the book. How is the reading of Kabbalistic books different?

Answer: Kabbalistic books are different because we see characters from another world in them. This is the difference between regular and holy books. “Holy” means “separate,” that is, through the reading of it, we begin to feel reality, which is separate from our world.

Gradually everyone, without exception, will have to move to this upper reality, to the new dimension. The guide that takes us to the new reality is called a book.

A book is not a cover with sheets of paper but an inner revelation within a person. We just need to know how to read it!

Why Should I Correct Myself?

Question: Why should I correct myself and not the environment?

Answer: When you correct the environment, you remain an egoist and even a greater one. But when you correct yourself, you will have a chance, a hope, and an opportunity to become like the Creator, which means an absolute altruist.

Egoism And The Tree Of Knowledge

Question: What is the connection between the manifestation of the evil of egoism and the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:16-17)?

Answer: Without the ego and its development, we could not achieve or know anything. With the correction of egoism, meaning that I change it from serving myself to serving others, I use it to get everything possible and make it useful for others.

In this way, I change myself in an inverse manner, and then all the forces and fulfillments of the Creator pass through me. I become equal to Him and attain His level. This is the manifestation of the greatest egoism in a person. About this it is said, “My sons have defeated me” (Bava Metzia, 59b).

Question: So, what was Adam HaRishon’s (First Man’s) mistake?

Answer: There was no mistake! Everything was planned from the start, including where you will go and what will happen to you later on. Each has his or her own predetermined point and there is nowhere to escape from it.

The question is whether you want to attain the goal by yourself, whether you have been searching for it throughout your conscious life, do you want to break through into this state now and not in your next incarnation?

Correct Study Of The Book Of Zohar

Question: For me, The Book of Zohar is very difficult to comprehend. There are parts that I read again and again, but in spite of that, they remain incomprehensible. How does one overcome them?

Answer: You must read what we are studying. It is preferable to connect to the lessons. It could be that it is difficult for a person to read by himself, so it is preferable for him to hear and grasp everything by closing his eyes. I advise proceeding in a way that is comfortable for you. You must put yourself under the influence of The Book of Zohar in any condition; it is not important which.

Question: Baal HaSulam wrote that before we study The Book of Zohar, we need to study the four introductions he wrote. What do you suggest?

Answer: I would suggest that you immediately immerse yourself in The Book of Zohar, after a person browses through The Book of Zohar once, he will be able to begin to study the theory, meaning the “Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah” and the rest of the prefaces, and then he can already work on The Book of Zohar seriously.

Newsmax : “There Will Be No Winners in the Second Civil War“

The largest portal Newsmax published my new article “There Will Be No Winners in the Second Civil War“:

Earlier this week, CNN news anchor Don Lemon stated that the president “is clearly trying to ignite a civil war in this country.” In response to Lemon’s words, historian and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said in an interview on “Tucker Carlson Tonight”: “I think we should take the threat of civil war very seriously.”

Referencing Dennis Prager’s piece, “America’s Second Civil War,” Gingrich added, “What you’re seeing with Antifa, what you’re seeing on college campuses, what you’re seeing, to some extent, in the bureaucracy, is a real division of the country. …I wish we could all sing Kumbaya and come together but I don’t think that’s what’s gonna happen. …As a historian, my view is pretty straightforward: one side or the other wins.”

America is already so rife with extremists on both sides of the political aisle that many people see war not only as imminent, but as virtually inevitable. If that’s the case, we’d better get busy digging ourselves bunkers… and graves.

And not just in the U.S. A civil war in America will not end in America. If the country plunges into battle, many will be vying for the loot. China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, and others will destroy whatever the war doesn’t, the American empire will become history, and a third world war, with multiple nuclear powers, will follow. There will be no winners because, to quote Machiavelli, “Wars begin when you will, but they do not end when you please.”

Is there really no alternative?

I think there is, or I wouldn’t be writing here. In my previous column, I noted that President Trump needs to take a more appeasing tone in order to start building national cohesion. It’s great to state, “No matter our color, creed, religion or political party, we are ALL AMERICANS FIRST,” but doing so right after the Charlottesville murderous car ramming is the epitome of poor timing. Such statements should be part of the president’s routine, not rare occasions.

Trump excels in using social media. If he uses it to broadcast a constant stream of unifying messages, notwithstanding the cynicism of the press, he will win over the American people’s hearts regardless of their political affiliation.

I wholly agree that America requires massive infrastructure projects. But the real infrastructure of the country is its people, not its asphalt roads or railroads. The administration needs to implement ASAP solidarity programs that will create a uniform American identity. People need to learn that an ideology that undermines freedom of speech, freedom of religious practice, and freedom of the press, cannot use the First Amendment to legitimize itself.

Even more importantly, people need to learn that plurality of views is not a recipe for war; it is precisely what has made America great in the first place. When people of different approaches and views strive for the same goal, they are far more likely to achieve it. If the goal is the well-being of all Americans, the entire country will benefit from it, and this goal should top the priority list of every American.

It might not seem possible to patch up the divided United States, but
1) no one has ever sincerely tried, and
2) the other option is war.

With my students, I have developed simple and easily applicable techniques that create a sense of unity and connection even among the most unlikely populations, such as Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs, ultra-Orthodox and devout agnostics, and affluent and needy. These techniques work wonders wherever we have tried them: North America, Western and Eastern Europe, and in Israel.

Today’s world is pushing toward connection. The interconnectedness of reality requires that we learn how to work in a world where everyone is dependent on everyone else. When we think in terms of “one side or the other wins,” we cannot succeed because we are perpetuating a mindset of separation. This will inevitably create unions of extremists that will feed on hatred of the other side, which in turn will lead to war. The only way to avoid this route is to make unity mainstream.

If this seems unrealistic, think of your own body. Without the unity of radically different organs all working in unison for the common cause of sustaining you and keeping you healthy, you would not exist. Therefore, unity is not unrealistic; it is the only realistic option for society.

The sooner we make American solidarity the prime value of America, the better it is for the entire country. Any decision that Trump’s administration and Congress make from here on should first and foremost promote unity and solidarity because this is truly the only realistic option.

Why Are We Afraid To Part With Life

Question: Why is it terrible for people to end their lives early, even if it is in continuous suffering?

Answer: Because this is a natural, instinctive desire of man to exist in any form. So it’s laid in us by nature in accordance with the upper system.

The fact is that our lives in the animal (material) body does not make any sense if we do not develop it during it and do not move to the next stage—into a spiritual state. Then we simply end our material existence.

Our Reshimot (informational basis of the spiritual essence) passes from one body to another.

The material body of man refers to the animal level. With it there is no transformation, except like animals. And what is called the point in the heart—a spiritual Reshimo or information record from the highest level, must be implemented. It is eternal. Therefore, we must reach the level of its realization during this life. The science of Kabbalah explains exactly this.

It says that by the end of the sixth millennium or, perhaps even earlier, all people must reach the highest level as an outcome.

That animal state in which we now exist on our small planet will disappear from our sensation, and with it the material world will disappear because it exists only in our imagination. And we will already be in a new dimension on a new level at which the spiritual Reshimo will be self-realized.

But because today we feel our animal life as the only existing one, we have a serious sense of fear: “What will happen to us? What’s going on, why do we die?”

I have met Kabbalists in my life that existed in the sensation of both worlds, and interestingly, their perception of the world was completely different. They absolutely did not suffer from the fact that they must die, and they knew beforehand that they were dying.

My teacher Rabash explained this very simply: “As in the evening you take off your dirty shirt and throw it into the wash, the same feeling is created when you finish this life.”

You remain in the upper world, which you discovered in this life, and therefore nothing leaves you. You simply part with your little animal part, which once existed and which constantly bored you, and now you must feed your “animal,” then wash it, then put it to bed, etc.

But as soon as you began to comprehend the upper world, the most important thing for you was its feeling: how to expand it, how to diversify, and how to raise it. This you continue to do.

The person who studies Kabbalah must attain the sensation of the highest degree. In our time, everyone can do it. And then we will no longer have any fear of parting with our animal body.

A Person Is The Enemy Of His Personal Time

Question: When is time a person’s enemy?

Answer: Time is not a person’s enemy; the person is the enemy of his own time.

Within a person is a device through which he determines time from zero to infinity at any speed. Time is variable. Even physicists say this, but just not in our coordinates.

The wisdom of Kabbalah differs from quantum physics and other exact sciences in that it brings a person into a space where he is outside of time, where he can change himself in his own axes of freedom. But to do this, it is necessary to acquire tools (Kelim), other senses of perception.

Why Is The Soul Made Of Ten Sefirot?

Question: Why is the soul made of or does it have to be made of ten Sefirot?

Answer: Because according to the physical spreading of the Light unto the desire, there cannot be a complete action if the Light does not go through the ten Sefirot and does not attain the last tenth Sefira, the tenth.

In it the Light finds the desire that is right for it, which means the right attribute that catches the Light and receives it inside.

When Does Freedom Of Choice Begin?

Question: How is it possible to speak about freedom of choice with people who are not aware that their ego is managed by the Creator? Is freedom of choice acquired the first time a person opens a book about the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: When a person just begins to learn the wisdom of Kabbalah, he still does not have any freedom of choice.

Freedom of choice appears only after a number of years of study when a person gets the opportunity to perceive the upper Light, to attract it to him, to be found in the two lines—right and left—and to manage them like a rider manages a horse with two reins. A person then acquires true freedom of choice.

Freedom of choice comes to be expressed in the middle part of Tifferet, in the middle line. A person who studies the wisdom of Kabbalah must work on himself for a number of years in order to attain freedom of choice.

Following Kabbalists’ Advice

Question: What does “principle” mean in spirituality? Is it a law? And what will happen if I don’t follow a certain principle?

Answer: All the principles that we have from the wishes and advice of Kabbalists are intended only to help us focus ourselves correctly on the feeling of the upper world. Therefore, if we follow their advice, we will begin to perceive and to attain the upper world, which is the main thing and everything else is up to you.

Many Kabbalah students are stubborn and don’t want to change anything internally. They don’t want to change their paradigm of the perception of the world. Therefore, keep running into a wall when studying this wisdom and cannot do anything.

Question: I understand what will happen in our world if I ignore the law of gravity, but what will happen if I don’t keep or follow a law or a principle that is in The Book of Zohar?

Answer: If you don’t keep a law of the upper world, you will not feel it.

Question: Is this the worst thing that can happen?

Answer: It can be much worse because our entire development in this world is aimed at pushing us to further development: to the perception of the upper world. If we don’t do this, we will develop by terribly painful afflictions.

Convention: Direction And Inclination To Connection

Question: How should we behave during a convention in order to maximize the time in the convention?

Answer: You should simply forget about yourself and constantly be part of the general unity in order to feel the nucleus of the common connection, the common thought, and the common desire.

Question: Who are you targeting at the convention, the newcomers or the veteran students?

Answer: No one. I am guided by the connection between people.

We shouldn’t study difficult material during a convention. A convention isn’t about studying but about unity. This is the reason that the study material should be totally accessible to everyone, including what I say and what needs to be done. Everyone will receive according to his level—according to the individual spiritual states one is in.

Who Broke The Soul?

Question: There is only the Creator and the created being in the system, so who broke the general soul?

Answer: The Creator, He said: “I have created the evil inclination; I have created the Torah as a spice, since the Light in it reforms.” “Correct the breaking and you will receive a reward. I have created you small and you can reach My level, eternity, perfection, knowledge, and pleasure. Everything is before you!”

The Creator could have created us in the state of wholeness. But we are required to want to attain this level by ourselves so that we will use our free will.

Question: And what do we gain from our free will?

Answer: It will give us a feeling of attainment, revelation, and filling. It is all me!

Imagine a person who was born a prince, compared to a person who has attained the status himself and has become a king. That is the whole difference.

Who Created The Creator?

Question: Who created the Creator?

Answer: Man. The Creator is called Boreh, “Bo u-reh – come and see.” Everything a person attains in his corrected vessels (Kelim) is called the Creator. Therefore, the attainment of the Creator depends on a person’s actions. So the person creates the Creator.

I create either a small or large vessel on different levels into which the upper Light enters. The vessel with the Light that fills it—HaVaYaH that is filled with the Light of NRNHY(Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, Yehida)—is called the Creator.

Who created the vessel? I did through my efforts. Therefore, the Creator is called come and see.

So, who is the Creator? The one I created. The force that exists above us and enables us to attain ourselves is called Atzmuto, that is, He is Himself in Himself.

Question: And this is the upper mind?

Answer: We cannot even speak about the mind. It is simply He.

Newsmax: “Trump Must Focus On American Unity First”

The largest portal Newsmax (12 million readers) published my new article “Trump Must Focus On American Unity First“:

For anyone not in President Trump’s closest circle, it is hard to figure out where the White House is going. I was very supportive of Trump even before he won the Republican primaries, but currently, it’s hard to see where his presidency is headed.

Soon after the inauguration, I warned that the Republican, conservative silent majority of the American public has been silent for too long and that it could erupt in unpredictable ways unless Trump begins to implement his America First plan and strives toward uniting all factions of American society. The events in Charlottesville may be the beginning of what I feared would happen unless he takes immediate action in this direction.

The presence of an “outsider” like Donald Trump within the American political system galvanizes many radical forces on both sides of the political map. Neo-Nazis are no worse than Antifa fascist militants; both are hazards to society. Now that blood has been drawn, there is no telling how far and how fast matters will deteriorate.

In May, when President Trump visited Israel, I published an open letter in the local media urging him to focus on home affairs because I felt that the American ship was veering off course. Now the country seems more like a rudderless ship than a world leader, and the executives quitting the CEO councils seem more as though they are jumping ship than protesting the president’s response to the racist violence in Charlottesville.

President Trump’s credo, that American interests should come first, is at odds with the view of Wall Street financiers and their minions, the liberal Democrats, who are devout globalists. Since these globalists control the majority of American media, it seems as though everyone is against the president. But Trump’s first commitment is to the American people. He was elected to protect and promote the interests of his country, and this is what he should do. This will earn him the public’s trust regardless of the image that the majority of media outlets are trying to portray.

Therefore, in my opinion, the first thing that Trump should do is adopt a more appeasing tone toward all Americans. Next, he should begin to place emphasis on American society rather than on foreign affairs.

Without some form of countrywide solidarity, the country will disintegrate. When I first wrote about this concept, it was easier to implement, but few thought it was imperative. Now that it is evidently required, it is much harder to do. Nevertheless, there are no alternatives.

Once the president has reprioritized America’s affairs, he should start implementing educational programs for adults and students that promote solidarity and social cohesion countrywide. You cannot expect hatred to wane by itself, so you need to make it look irrelevant. Americans excel at creating trends. Isn’t it time to make friendly trendy?

We can already see that the government initiative to legalize drugs has not been the sedative authorities had hoped it would be. As extremism rises, the only soporific “substance” that will work is awareness that America belongs to all Americans, and that Americans must care for the well-being of their countryfolk before they care about anything and anyone else.

Malls are emptying by the thousands; brick-and-mortar shops are closing all over the country; people are losing their jobs and losing their hopes. But there is plenty of wealth in America to provide for everyone, if the country wishes to do so.
I already noted that the idea of basic income for all will wreak havoc in society unless it is contingent upon participating in “unity trainings.” Why not make other benefits contingent upon this, too?

The real estate vacancies that are appearing all over the U.S. can easily become venues where people attend unity trainings. The fast and affordable internet allows for classes to be given online with a handful of instructors training millions of people. Such an initiative will cost nearly nothing, and the government and municipal resources it will save on reduced violence, substance abuse related crimes, domestic crises, and healthcare related costs will make it the most lucrative government program ever initiated.

But time is running out. Unless the White House pushes this American Unity First program, it will soon be too late to escape a complete national meltdown.

Why Do Kabbalists Recommend Establishing Families?

Question: Kabbalists recommend establishing families. How and why does this influence a person’s spiritual development?

Answer: It could be that in our times this is no longer as relevant as it was in the past. But in principle, the conditions for establishing a family are not derived from material needs that change in each and every generation and especially now, but from the fact that it is because within the framework of life in the family unit in our world, we must become similar to the upper world.

In the upper world, there is always a connection between opposites that are embedded within the physical world as a masculine part and a feminine part. Therefore, there is a requirement for male Kabbalists to marry.

In all times, women wanted to marry while men didn’t always want this. In our time, everything is the opposite. It could be that the men agree to marry, especially since the wisdom of Kabbalah obligates them, while women no longer want to establish families because they believe that it is not imperative for them. Therefore, the problem nevertheless exists.

I relate to this subject simply: If you want to marry, get married, and if you don’t want to, then don’t marry. But if you marry, then choose a partner who will help you in attaining the higher goal.

What Does The Life Force Depend On?

Question: What determines how powerful a person’s life force is?

Answer: It depends only on the upper Light. The power of man’s material vital force also depends on the upper Light, but there is a certain correlation between them.

Question: You often say that there is no fatigue. What do you mean by this?

Answer: There is no fatigue because it depends on how the Light influences you. This is why the power of the life force can be absolutely infinite.

To put it simply, we are created so that we should alternate between being awake and being asleep, but this has nothing to do with fatigue. Certain signals are coming down upon us that make us sleep, make us tired, and make us awake, not because the body needs it.

The laws of nature are arranged this way. It comes from the upper worlds.
