In Loving Memory ofBilly Phillips

We are literally submerged in a sea of "satan," an ocean of ego—relentless self-interest, rage, fear, and doubt. No matter how many times we push away the influence, there is an endless amount of negativity, ego, selfish, reactive impulses and triggers that are drowning us. The word "satan" literally means opponent—a negative opposing force of consciousness that wages war against our happiness and peace of mind, all day long. The key is to SEE its negative influence, understand its purpose and recognize it and then, not react to it! Each time we react to ego, a portion of death accumulates in our bodies, contributing to aging. When sufficient people eliminate egocentric reactions collectively, immortal existence will dawn as death drowns in a sea of Light.

A father sought the Baal Shem Tov to save his dying child. The great Kabbalist ascended to the Upper Worlds but discovered heaven's gates were locked—nothing could be done. Instead of gathering holy men, he instructed his assistant to gather ten thieves. The child recovered overnight. When asked why thieves, the Kabbalist replied: "This time, I had ten thieves with me. They picked the lock and we broke into heaven." Another Kabbalist, unable to save a dying child through prayers, rode after the devastated father—not with good news, but with his own tears and companionship in shared grief. Sometimes teachers and students are called to perform the most difficult act: crying together, holding broken hearts, and offering emotional support when miracles cannot come. This act of shared compassion—of certainty in love despite uncertainty in outcomes—diminishes doubt and moves the world toward ultimate redemption.

The love is here. The blessings are here. But ego blocks their manifestation like a blackout curtain blocking out the sun. Rav Berg once sat me in a bathroom for three hours repeating, "You hate me!" I defended my love for the Rav, insisting I didn't hate him. Finally, after three hours, I admitted my ego's hatred. Only then did the Rav smile and say he loved me. We are not here to preach to others to share the Zohar. Instead, each time we remove our own ego, that bit of Light inspires another person. The Zohar spreads in direct proportion to the amount of transformation people have made.

The Zohar described our universe as "waves" long before modern physics confirmed wave-particle duality. All of existence is made up of Energy. The physical world is the daughter of the waves. These energy waves represent Divine Consciousness—the very mind of God. The underlying thought is singular: imparting pleasure to creation. Our consciousness literally creates our personal reality and destiny. We are not victims but architects of our spiritual fate through daily choices between ego-based and soul-based living. It's up to us and only us. God provides energy but cannot interfere with free will.

Imagine being underwater and trying to dry yourself off. No matter how much water you brush away, you're still covered in wet, salty seawater. The Kabbalists revealed that we are literally submerged in a sea of "satan"—endless negativity, ego, and reactive impulses. The story of the parting of the Red Sea is really just a code for the parting of the Sea of Chaos and Reactive impulses that flood our being. The 72 Names of God are the technology enabling this spiritual transformation. The Bible is not a history book. The Bible is not a religious text. It's a technology to elevate, raise and evolve our consciousness.

Consciousness creates reality. The actual plague affecting humanity isn't physical but internal: Our ego. Our reactions. Fear and doubt are manufactured by an internal "Opponent." Negative consciousness produces judgment while personal transformation yields mercy. Great Miracles are the true reality. It's up to us. Acknowledge the ego. Practice uncomfortable acts of sharing. Cultivate certainty.

The quest for truth is the most difficult path in life. It requires almost super-human courage to embrace truth once discovered. People seek facts supporting existing beliefs rather than genuine truth. We have total belief in our doubts but doubt our beliefs. Small infractions of ego are the most dangerous because they accumulate unnoticed. Small ego actions allow the Opponent access, leading to full-blown ugly acts of ego. The Opponent first convinces us to commit small acts so we don't catch onto him, after which he gains control.

"Amen" is one of humanity's most recited words, used across Christianity, Islam, and Judaism for millennia. The Zohar teaches: "He who answers Amen is greater and more valuable than he who makes the blessings." The Tetragrammaton (value 26) represents the 99% spiritual reality. Adonai (value 65) represents the 1% physical reality. Amen (value 91) is the unifying element: 26 + 65 = 91. Prayers are cables and wires drawing spiritual current. Amen functions as the power switch that activates this connection in physical life.

Keeping our connection to the source of energy and power is the sole responsibility of the individual. The path forward requires shedding emotional attachments and ego. The projects are not what the Centre is about. The projects are only a means to an end. The project is not the goal. The goal is learning to let go. Inner growth and pain by individuals is the engine that drives more Zohars out into the world. When students genuinely master independent connection to the Light, they naturally remain loyal to teachers through authentic spiritual bonds, not external pressure.

One week before 9/11, Kabbalist Rav Berg asked: "What is a catastrophe?" He explained that when 500,000 people die annually from smoking, society doesn't call this a catastrophe. But when deaths occur simultaneously in one location, we label it a catastrophe. The dark force operates through separation of time and space. By spreading suffering across years and geography, people fail to recognize the magnitude of disaster occurring daily. Individual negative actions of ego accumulate and build collective destructive forces. Small daily choices—acts of kindness versus selfishness—either strengthen light or darkness globally.

It is not the foods we eat. It is not our diet. Those are merely the WEAPONS used by the negative forces. The Zohar understood heart disease mechanisms centuries before modern medicine. Negative emotions like anger and ego manifest in the liver, producing impure fats that clog arteries—both physically and metaphorically in relationships and business. Behavior toward others affects physical, emotional, and financial health. Personal accountability and a broken spirit are prerequisites for healing.

Atoms are the one part of the Universe that live forever. Hydrogen in water exceeds 13 billion years old. Death occurs because space breaks the bonds between atoms, causing physical forms to disintegrate. This "space" represents ego consciousness—selfishness that creates separation between people and disrupts atomic cohesion. Consciousness is fundamental, not matter derivative. Transformation requires replacing ego-driven consciousness with connection and caring for others. By building genuine relationships and eliminating self-interest, humans can keep atoms bonded and achieve biological immortality.

The Zohar is a manifestation of the "OR GANUZ"—the Hidden Light. This ancient light represents immortality, paradise, and perfection concealed since creation. The Vilna Gaon declared: "The essence of the Redemption depends upon learning Kabbalah." Isaac Luria said God finds no greater pleasure than when people study Kabbalah. The study of Zohar purifies the soul regardless of comprehension level, offering spiritual correction even when the reader doesn't fully understand the text.

Jesus was a Kabbalist who came to teach the world through secret wisdom. Jesus, along with other Jewish sages like Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Ishmael, were killed to suppress knowledge of Kabbalah. The Zohar—meaning "radiance"—contains all wisdom embedded in God's four-letter name. Paul encountered this mystical light during his Damascus Road vision. Kabbalah is humanity's path to redemption and protection against forces opposing divine truth and human freedom.

Let there be sound! Science is finally catching up to Kabbalah. Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai taught that the Ten Commandments are not literal "commandments" but ten utterances and sounds that created the physical universe. New Scientist reports that sound waves that rang out in the early universe sculpted its structure. Specific Hebrew sound vibrations for words like "galaxy," "star," "planet" are not merely descriptive but are creative forces bringing these entities into existence. When you meditate upon the Zohar, you know with certainty that you are tapping the vibrations of pure creation. All you need to do is triumph over the doubt.

VR and the Metaverse are merely reflections, shadows, material manifestations of what is happening in the true evolution of our world and human consciousness, according to the wisdom of Zohar. A perfected reality governed by perfected human consciousness represents our ultimate destiny. We need interfaces because we don't believe thoughts alone manipulate reality. The Metaverse is really a Mirrorverse, a mirror of the true reality hidden within human consciousness and this physical world, just waiting for the ego to be transformed and repositioned under the rulership of our soul.

The media is the gateway of information-flow into this world. Darkness "crouches at the door"—at entry points where it can infect everything downstream, like poisoning a seed affects the entire tree. BOTH sides of the media are corrupt. This isn't about ideology but how the Adversary corrupts people across all lines by awakening ego and selfish desires. The human ego is the force that makes us procrastinate, eat unhealthy food, or act reactively despite knowing better. People fall prey unknowingly because they don't understand this force's existence.

Science now says there's nothing that would stop people intrinsically from living thousands of years. Researchers have found methods to reverse aging by targeting telomeres—DNA strands at chromosome ends. The Zohar teaches that when "the moon shines as bright as the sun"—transforming the desire to receive into a will to share—biological immortality arrives. Atoms are inherently immortal, but molecular bonds weaken with aging. Removing ego-created conflict between people strengthens atomic bonds, preventing deterioration. Each person represents a spiritual soldier capable of advancing global transformation through ego transcendence.

An Israelite emerges through spiritual transformation. Jacob's name change to Israel reveals a numerological truth: Jacob (182) + Satan (359) = Israel (541). Conquering one's ego enables this transformation. The angel Jacob battles represents humanity's inner selfishness. Overcoming this internal "Satan" through study and personal discipline defines true spiritual identity. When people embrace their identity as true Israelites through ego-transformation, external enemies will transform as well, creating conditions for global peace.

Throughout history, revered Kabbalists—Moses De Leon, Isaac Luria, Moses Chaim Luzzatto, Yehuda Ashlag—were condemned during their lifetimes but revered after death. The only enemy of mankind is the human ego, which covets, envies, seethes anger, and wages war. Kabbalah's core teaching—"Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself"—threatens institutional power structures, generating predictable opposition from those unwilling to surrender ego-driven authority. I learned from Rav Berg to suppress reactive anger toward critics, recognizing that fighting negativity with negativity strengthens destructive forces rather than advancing spiritual truth.

ISAAC NEWTON AND KABBALAH After some 300 years of being hidden from public, Newton's private manuscripts were finally released. And what did they reveal? Isaac Newton devoted much of his private life to studying Kabbalah and the Zohar. Newton had his own copy of the Zohar. He studied Hebrew so he could read the ancient Kabbalistic texts in their original language. The greatest scientific mind in history knew that the Zohar contained the secrets of the universe—the very secrets he spent his life uncovering through mathematics and physics. For 300 years, the establishment hid this from us. Why? Because if the world knew that Newton's genius was fueled by Kabbalah, it would change everything we think we know about science, religion, and the nature of reality.

THE ZOHAR MIRACLE IN THE ER Over twenty years ago, my dear friend and Harvard-trained cardiologist Dr. Artur Spokojny shared a story about how the Zohar generated a stunning miracle in the emergency room. A patient was dying. All medical interventions had failed. Dr. Spokojny, who had been studying Kabbalah, placed a Zohar by the patient's bedside. What happened next defied everything medical science says is possible. The Zohar is not just a book of wisdom—it is a physical instrument of Light. When the Zohar is present, the energy of healing and miracles becomes accessible. This isn't metaphor. This isn't poetry. This is the technology of the soul meeting the technology of medicine.

THE MESSIAH AND SEVENTH MILLENNIUM The great Kabbalist Nachmanides, whose family also produced another legendary Kabbalist—the Ramban—taught that human history spans seven millennia, mirroring the seven days of creation. We are now deep into the sixth millennium. The Zohar says that in the sixth millennium, the gates of wisdom will open wide, both above and below. This is why we see an explosion of both technology and spiritual seeking in our time. The seventh millennium represents the Messianic age—not a single person arriving on a white donkey, but a state of consciousness where humanity collectively transcends ego and death itself is abolished. The Messiah is not coming TO us. The Messiah is coming THROUGH us—through our transformation.

I met with Physicist Michio Kaku and showed him quotes from the Zohar. The Zohar said the earth was round, 1500 years before Columbus. The Zohar described a Big Bang creation of the universe twenty centuries before modern physics. The Zohar said time was relative and an illusion two thousand years before Einstein. It said white light contains all the colors of the spectrum 15 centuries before Isaac Newton. The Zohar described black holes and a ten dimensional universe twenty centuries before superstring theory. I read passages of the Zohar to Michio Kaku. He was "dazzled." He cited the Zohar and confirmed its correlation with his understanding of Super String Theory. The Zohar resolves all the paradoxes of physics currently haunting physicists. This is not religion. This is the science of consciousness.

JESUS THE FISH "I am a son of a great and worthy fish." —Yenuka, the son of Kabbalist Rav Hamnuna Saba, in the Zohar The early Christians used the fish symbol (Ichthys) as their secret sign. But why a fish? The Zohar holds the answer that has been hidden for 2000 years. In the Zohar, the Yenuka—a child prodigy born to a great Kabbalist—calls himself "a son of a great fish." The fish in Kabbalah represents one who is immune to the Evil Eye, immune to the forces of negativity. A fish lives beneath the water, unseen, protected. Jesus was a Kabbalist. The fish symbol was not random—it was Kabbalistic code. This is the connection between the Zohar's Yenuka and the historical Jesus that the establishment has hidden from you for two millennia.

Einstein and all physicists know that atoms never die. Our atoms are immortal. They were created over 13 billion years ago in the Big Bang — and they’re still brand spanking new.

So if atoms never die, why do we die? If we’re made of atoms, we’re made of immortality.

Consider Lego. Suppose we build a man out of Lego pieces, piece by piece. Then we take him apart, piece by piece, until he no longer exists. Lego man is now dead and gone — but the Lego pieces are still here. It was the space between the pieces that caused him to disappear.

Lego is a metaphor for the atom. The atom is immortal. But the forms, the structures the atoms create — they are not. There is a force, a power, an entity that creates the illusion of death. Its name is space.

Space is an actual force that slowly breaks the bonds between every atom in the human body. Atoms stop bonding. The body is a puzzle — and when space gets between the pieces, they come apart. That’s called aging. But the puzzle pieces themselves remain immortal. “There was no death. There was only space,” says the Kabbalist.

How does space infiltrate our lives? Through our consciousness. Every time we are reactive — anger, jealousy, worry, pessimism — we inject the force of space into our body and into our lives. Someone yells at me, I get upset. That person is the cause. My being upset is the effect. Consciousness in my mind creates space in my body. I grow older. I decay. The puzzle jumbles.

So how do we eradicate space? There’s only one move. Not 50 billion moves. One.

We did not come to this world to make our dreams come true. That’s the biggest hoax of all. We came to this world to make other people’s dreams come true. And they are here to make our dreams come true. Because I carry the solution to somebody else’s problem, and somebody else is carrying around the solution I need. When I share mine with them, I become the cause of their happiness. When they share theirs with me, they become the cause of mine. And now — we are no longer an effect. We become identical to the Creator, who is the cause of all causes.

We’re all interconnected like a puzzle, filling each other’s needs.

Love thy neighbor is not a moral. Love thy neighbor is not an ethic. It’s technology for repairing the world.
