Question: Can a Kabbalist predict what will happen in ten years?

Answer: A Kabbalist will never engage in prophecy. He can explain the trends of the development of society and humanity in order to demonstrate the course of the egoistic nature without the intervention of our correction.

And with the intervention of correction, no one will be able to clearly predict this, since everything depends only on the freedom of will of the people who study Kabbalah.

Therefore, Baal HaSulam, who printed his books, reproduced and distributed them with the purpose of disseminating Kabbalah, came to the conclusion that the generation was not yet ready for this.

He even wrote about the possibility of a third and fourth world war. But still, a Kabbalist does not know exactly when anything will happen because he does not have the right to use the freedom of will as a given reality. He leaves it for a person to realize.

Thus, a Kabbalist can predict the tendency of the natural development of humanity. However, considering a person’s freedom of will, he does not know how quickly humanity will enter this process. Therefore, he will not engage in speculation.

Question: Maybe Kabbalists can predict something good?

Answer: Kabbalists will predict something good only to the extent that you want it to be good.

Comment: By the way, I have never read good predictions. That is strange.

My Response: Because everything depends on the person! If you are corrected, you will see the future as good. If you are not corrected, you will see it as bad. And there is no future by itself. How well your senses are corrected or not, that is how you will feel it. You are the one who creates your own future! So, keep trying!

Question: Statistical studies show that a person with more friends has a greater chance of feeling happy. Why is that?

Answer: It would seem that friends should bring me even more trouble than happiness. After all, they pass their moods on to me, and I worry about everything that happens to them—good and bad. So I should actually be more upset because of them, since usually a person has more problems in life than joys.

But the point is that people tend to hide their problems and talk about their successes. Therefore, it seems to me that those around me live normally and prosperously. And even if others are not very happy, a shared misfortune is not as frightening. I see that others have the same problems as I do, and I no longer measure my condition against some ideal of happiness.

I understand that I am no worse off than others and that this is simply life. I accept this as a given and lower my standards to the general level accepted in society.

In addition, I see that commercial and industrial systems are built to make life easier for everyone. This is why we unite and create cities and factories. Together, it is easier to survive in this world, and we have more opportunities to enjoy life than each person on their own. Someone living as a hermit in a forest faces a very difficult existence, if they survive at all.

Clearly, connection among all of us benefits us. When problems arise, they become shared and are divided among everyone. By living in society, we learn from each other and take example from others. Therefore, the more I am included in society, the more support and sense of stability I can receive from it.

Everything bad and good that happens in life ultimately evens out. Even though in the end society may bring me more problems than good, these will be the same problems that everyone has, and so I will agree with them.

Comment: You have a very broad mind, but the human brain cannot perceive and sense the entire universe so broadly. There is wisdom in you.

My Response: This is a consequence of spiritual attainment, not because on the earthly level I am intelligent. On the earthly level, I am not Newton or Einstein.

Question: Then where does your vast knowledge come from?

Answer: The fact is that I have a completely different volume of desire. In my desire, I look at everything that happens in this world as a game of little children. I see our world on a level that I can easily grasp, understand it through-and-through from top to bottom and from bottom to top in its entire volume, in all its connections. For me, it is like a sandwich.

I see it consisting of four parts: still, vegetative, animate, and human levels of matter, and see how they interact with each other and gradually develop so that the human level will finally rise upward, into the spiritual world, and pull all the other levels along with it.

I see this purely speculatively, visually, but precisely because I have developed a spiritual Kli, a spiritual desire, within myself. Otherwise, I would not be able to see with such volume and such clarity from top to bottom and, so to speak, manipulate it.

I have spoken with scientists in our world with great minds who contain so much information based on the fact that “someone said,” “someone thinks,” “according to this,” NS “according to that.” They drown in an enormous mass of information, unable to chew it. Because they rely on knowledge, and therefore, it is difficult for them.

Question: But you cannot see through all the states of other people, can you? You are not omnipresent to see everything as if on a plate.

Answer: Yes, I see nature in general. Of course, I do not know all the states, all the metamorphoses, everything that happens and passes through each one. I simply know the general plan of development. I have gone through it myself and therefore understand what the others must go through since the path of the individual and the path of the whole are absolutely identical.

I know the nature of all transformations and changes, and therefore, it is no secret to me. I do not know a person’s private states; I am not a psychic who can look at another person and say what he is thinking, like Wolf Messing.

Kabbalah, by the way, does not give such abilities at all (to do some kind of extrasensory tricks in our world, perform various stunts, add twenty-digit fractions, numbers, and so on). It does not allow seeing the past or seeing the future in a private sense; it simply gives the general system of all development. You feel how you pass through this system, and understand from what you are now going through, how it must develop further.

You do not enter private souls. And why is that needed? What difference does it make what I might see in others?

Question: So, you recall the states you went through, and only because of this can you understand what is happening with a person?

Answer: Of course, only from my own experience and only up to the degree on which I am today. If you ask me about what is above this degree, I can only guess, I am not certain, absolutely not certain.

Moreover, all my experience tells me that all this is absolutely incorrect. On the contrary, if you tell me: “What do you think: will it be this way or that way,” I can tell you anything, and it will still be unpredictable.

Nature protects us by creating a restriction, that is, our impact on nature manifests itself only to the extent of our inner development. As a merciful judge assigning punishment, it takes into account, not only the crimes, but also our ability to understand and realize them.

Nature, as it were, filters our negative influences and gradually reduces them billions of times. As a result, we exert only the slightest influence on nature and in a certain form only in order to learn from it and understand that we actually influence it.

First of all, man must take an integral part in nature at the human level, that is, in relation to one’s fellow human beings, each of whom must understand that they all are one body. A person must ensure one’s correction and not hope that simply protecting the environment (the inanimate, vegetative, and animate) will help him or her. This is the most fundamental point.

Even if we put all the waste into “recycling,” that is, into secondary usage, and even if we clean up the entire Atlantic Ocean from waste, this will not help us save nature. The integral relationship of man to nature is expressed at the level of thought and desire—this is our main impact on nature.

The law of universal integral connection operates in nature because nature is the Creator! Even if a wolf kills a sheep and eats it, it does so on the orders of nature, which instructs it to kill sick individuals.

If you destroy all the wolves in the forest, all animals will get sick, and the whole forest will die out. In nature, everyone lives for the sake of others. It does so instinctively, without knowing it. The wolf does not know it lives in order to eat sick animals.

But people do not need to eat each other to survive. They harm each other only because of their egoism.

Instead of “protecting” nature on a physical level, from it we need to learn the instinctive right connection in which all parts of nature exist. We need to base human society on the same laws. What animals do in physical actions, we need to examine and fulfill in spiritual actions.

People’s thoughts and desires are projected onto lower levels, as an application to the inanimate, plant and animal worlds. Therefore, we must build a human society in an integral form and treat nature as a general system that we are a part of.

Rather than looking down on nature, or from the side, we must feel that all of nature is the upper force, the Creator, and humanity must become an integral part of it. With our correct participation, the whole of nature will come into balance.

All imbalances in nature are shown to man to bring himself into balance. Then he will see, in his application to nature, how it all returns to balance. Earth will turn into a Garden of Eden, into a perfect system, if man corrects himself.

If we do not do this, nature will ruthlessly teach us, which is what we have recently been seeing.
