New Life #509 – Meditation And Contemplation, Part 1
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz
Summary
Meditation helps a person relax and contemplate himself and the world from inner relaxation. Yet according to the Kabbalistic definitions, this activity is not spiritual!
Only in the wisdom of Kabbalah [1] is there the power of the Light [2] that can take a person out of the desire to receive and bring him to the desire to bestow [3]. When a person eliminates his ego, he senses that the entire world is a single system, yet he cannot control this system.
The Kabbalists make “intentions,” concentrating their energy on connection with others, to discover the upper force. In a Kabbalistic group, people work together on transitioning from the “I” to “We” to “One” with the help of the power of the Light; this is something that doesn’t exist in other methods. The levels of ascent are described in detail in the books of Kabbalah.
The wisdom of Kabbalah doesn’t suppress the ego; on the contrary, it makes use of all its intensity. This wisdom is for learning how to receive correctly: in the “Middle Line” integrating the power of reception and the power of bestowal found in nature and expanding them without limit, so we merit receiving in the best way.
