Two questions I received about happiness:

Question: How can we let young people and their parents know that long-term happiness is achieved better by suppressing the ego and instead choosing the forces of love and bestowal? How can we teach this principle and model it?

My Answer: The only way to cause correction and to create a new, stable generation is by introducing Kabbalah’s method of education and upbringing into the schools.

Question: How can I make myself happy?

My Answer: The source of happiness lies in being closer to the Creator.

In the News (from Current): “‘Ruthlessness gene’ discovered” Researchers at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem found a link between a gene called AVPR1a and ruthless behavior in an economic exercise called the ‘Dictator Game.’ The exercise allows players to behave selflessly, or like money-grabbing dictators … Though the mechanism is unclear, [the research team leader] Ebstein says, he is fairly sure that selfish, greedy dictatorship has a genetic component.

My Comment: Kabbalah says, “Egoism is our nature and we cannot get rid of it in our world.” This is why Kabbalah was given to us: it is a method of attracting the Upper Light, the Force of Correction.
