The War For Irrational Reasons

Dr. Michael LaitmanSpecial Edition: Events in Southern Israel

We have to look at the root of the problem. We are under attack for irrational reasons. Nature itself obliges us to unite. We need to learn from history: Essentially, we are fighting with ourselves. If we overcome mutual repulsion, division into segments, if the people truly become the people, then it will live in peace.

We became the people after the exodus from Egypt on a clear condition of unity.

All our exiles were caused by our internal strife.

And every time enemies were ready to destroy us, but not completely.

How long can this go on?

All the primary sources talk about unity, and it is not a religion. These are the facts that have been confirmed over the course of millennia.

The World Demands Its CorrectionSpecial Edition: Events in Southern Israel

We need to want to unite. Gaza Strip is not the main issue. The main issue is unity between us. It is the solution to all other problems. Today people invite “southerners” to stay with them, and this is great, but it will end. While we have to rebuild the nation; we want unity to continue. That is what makes us the people. Mutual love must become an instinct.

Mutual guarantee should be nurtured. We will not see peace without it. Until we unite, we are like nuts in a sack. In fact, we have no other place to live. We will face the same problem everywhere: We do not fulfill our mission. The current crisis is not just a bad streak. Humanity today must become “round,” integral, and it is we who have to provide it with the appropriate method.

Every Jew is responsible for it. And although he or she may have no idea why people hate them, in reality, the world demands the main thing from us: the correction of human society. Sooner or later, we will carry out this task, and the point is to “save” us from suffering. But as soon as we get down to business, the world’s attitude towards us will change. The media will speak differently, and no one will say that Israel has no right to exist. We are special; we have always been like that, and we need to understand what solution is required today.

Let The Sky In The South Clear Up Special Edition: Events in Southern Israel

If children do not listen, there is no choice but to punish them, to put pressure on them. This is the so-called path of suffering. It’s not worth walking on it. It will be much easier if we start creating an amicable, united world.

We are facing a global law of balance. Nature demands its fulfillment. For our nation it means unification. Destiny itself leads us to unity. True unification has never brought any harm. On the contrary, it helps to solve all problems, being what is most natural. It’s time to act. The moment we start, the sky above us will clear up.

The Mutual Guarantee “Glue” For The Nation Of Israel

Dr. Michael LaitmanSpecial Edition: Events in Southern Israel

First of all, we have to be together. It relates to all sons of the nation, regardless of where they are situated. Today the American Jews feel that they are, first of all, Americans. Israel, in the best case scenario, comes second. Some even say: “They deserve it.” This has never happened before; everything turned upside down during the last few years when they started to support anyone but their own people.

Meanwhile, “Israel” is not genetic. It is a concept, a worldview. The “glue” of the mutual guarantee has to tie all of us together. We have to awaken love within. It’s possible if we work against our egoism, against petty calculations. Love is nurtured, built by mutual efforts.

There Is No Future Without Unity

Dr. Michael LaitmanSpecial Edition: Events in Southern Israel

Our world is very small. Today, we already see how Nature puts pressure on us from all sides. You cannot escape from this “globe.” We can no longer do what we want, burn oil, release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

The laws of nature are immutable. However, we lack knowledge of the laws that are related to the human level of development. We somehow understand child development, but in general, the progress of humanity presents us with surprises all the time. Today, all of a sudden it turns out that we have all become one family.

This is supported by studies in various fields, although common people are not aware of what is happening. The world is totally interconnected and interdependent. Problems of one country spread to others. On the other hand, any country can be paralyzed by sanctions, even if it has everything it needs to survive.

Thus, there is the law of the common body, the common family, and there is no escape. And that is why it is necessary to satisfy the condition of mutual guarantee at the global level. This is the only way we can reach harmony with Nature—by building good relationships between ourselves. In this Nature gives us freedom to grow independently. But if we do not do this, then we get blows: the crisis, war, natural disasters.

It is no coincidence that our relationship with the US is cooling down. It is also very significant. And the decision is inherent in the people of Israel. We have the key. Namely, we are able to reach unity, mutual guarantee, it would seem, from which it follows. We are separated, deceive each other, we show solidarity only in times of war, and even with difficulties…

Well, it is time to say: “Enough!” No one will make peace with us until we make peace between ourselves. How? Through education. This simple message should be conveyed to every person: There is no future without unity. We need to fill the air with this message before we slide down to continuous military conflicts because the situation is getting worse all the time.

So let’s get started. To begin with, there are those who already understand and feel this. We have a method of teaching, and it should be implemented. Unity must be learned, it does not happen by itself. The law of gravity acts automatically, but unity is created by systematic work. Similarly, external influence convinces a person to quit smoking. When I hear from all sides about the harm I cause to myself and others, it starts affecting me.

At the beginning, unity is not the most comfortable feeling, but gradually it will flow into life and we will not be able to manage without it, we will not understand how we lived before. First, we will play in it like children, and then suddenly we will feel it, as habit becomes second nature, as a game becomes a reality. At some point, I will not be able to do otherwise without good relationships. It all depends on us.

The Good Future Is In Mutual Guarantee

Dr. Michael LaitmanSpecial Edition: Events in Southern Israel

Each person changes reality by his attitude. The whole point is to organize social support to unity. We must educate ourselves. No one else will do this. The warmth for reciprocity should be caused not by rockets, but by the internal work between us. There is no other way.

In mutual guarantee, we need to see something special, a good future. Why should we be disobedient children who learn only by punishment?

Don’t Lose Time In Vain!

Dr. Michael LaitmanIt is needless to say that we all need to unite and especially in Georgia where a desire for unity, peace, and being good neighbors is considered the most exalted human desire. I think it is clear that we need to be together, study according to one methodology, and not look for anything else. Later, we will discover that all of that is one, indeed, but we shouldn’t dig into that or go away.

First of all, it is important to reach the level of attaining a spiritual world where we see its roots. Then, there will be no problems. I really want our friends who are in various searches just to put it aside until the time they can understand.

Then, it will be clear that all of us come from Babylon, and Kabbalah comes from there as well. Kabbalah embraces all the teachings. Then, there will be no more conflict and no searches.

When a person begins to study the science of Kabbalah—when he still hasn’t entered into it and doesn’t realize what a spiritual world is and begins to match words and various expressions—all of that is not serious. He is sorry for the time and, most importantly, for bringing discord, dissention, and separation into a group and the entire world Kli.

He doesn’t even understand that by doing so, he creates a point of sickness that spreads this disease across all of our enormous body. Thus, he will suffer, not to a small measure due to the violation that he did, but to the extent of dissonance that he caused in the entire group. I feel sorry for these people. They just don’t understand why they are getting carried away somewhere.

Trust me; it is not worth doing anything except working on unity. Any theory and any direction that causes separation do not lead to holiness.

Thus, we need to put all of these attempts aside and hold onto each other as if for dear life! As in the ocean, if there is anything that disconnects us, we will sink immediately, and, if we stick together, we will stay afloat. That is how we need to see this.

The Purifying Fire Of Love

Dr. Michael LaitmanThe Creator will not leave us alone because we have to become strong enough to lead the whole of humanity. Imagine what kind of preparation we need to go through.

So the main this is to grit your teeth despite the fact that the Creator will attempt to divide us in various ways, give us all kinds of reasons (moreover, so logical, so rational, that it needs to be done in a different way), but if this is against unity—reject it immediately! Any plans that appear to us as real and good if they tear the group apart, we should not take them into account, we should turn away from them. Our training is designed in this way on purpose because it all comes down to unity and nothing else.

That is why, you should not even listen to any other suggestions, but just check whether this leads to the unity of the group or not. There should be no fights. There needs to be even greater compression, even greater concentration, so that this compression lights a fire within. When this fire lights, it will unite all the hearts, all the desires in one common desire.

This is the so-called fire of love that burns all the impurities, all the waste, all the toxins. And what remains is only the purest of what exists in everyone’s heart. We do not even know what it is, but it remains only from the fire of love.

This fire is terrible, very harsh. If you go through it, then you reach the level when only one common desire is created in you, and in it, the group reveals the Creator.

Seize Every Opportunity!

Dr. Michael LaitmanWhen I studied with Rabash, we had our meals in absolute silence. It was simply a state of silence; no one said anything to anyone, people didn’t even look at each other, but simply ate and drank in great inner tension, and it was absolutely quiet. He always demanded that and was very strict about any disturbances if someone suddenly made a noise or an interruption occurred. At that time we didn’t have many opportunities to gather, only during a lesson or a meal.

Today we have many opportunities. This may be the reason we forget the intention. It becomes such an ordinary event. We have to pay attention to the intention. Every action that is performed together, even if it is by two people, already leads to an immense outcome if it is with the right intention.

This is especially true when we gather in conventions in different places and make so many efforts to be together. So it is a pity if a minute goes by without an intention.
