A Message From The Past

Dr. Michael LaitmanThe holidays in Israel are much more than just a tradition; they are connected to the present much more than we think.

The holidays of the Jewish people are a dotted line of our destiny, a broken cardiogram of the beating of our common heart. In them lies the symbolism and information that could easily be lost in the impenetrable labyrinths of history or distorted beyond recognition.

Every holiday carries within it a message, not only about our past, but also about our future.

Practical Results Of The Wisdom Of Kabbalah

laitman_214Question: Which practical results does the wisdom of Kabbalah bring to us?

Answer: We are surprised, why in the world does everything “somehow happen not the way we would want”; we don’t understand why our actions constantly cause negative results and reactions.

The wisdom of Kabbalah explains that the reason for all of our failures is that we don’t take the conditions into account, that all of our actions pass through a “block” that is called the “goal of creation.”

Through our actions, or more correctly through our intentions, we send signals to it. And to the same degree that these signals are compatible with the program of creation, they influence us with positive actions. And to the degree of the incompatibility with the goal of creation, they influence us with negative actions (an opposite negative correlation).

As long as we have not absorbed and understood this system of the management of creation, bringing creation to a goal, we receive unexpected and unpleasant events without understanding that this is a reaction to our activities.

The wisdom of Kabbalah reveals the organ that manages this to us, and we learn through working with it, correcting our actions according to its program, and eliminating any unpleasant surprises.

The Essential Secret Of The Jewish New Year – The Secret For A Good Year

laitman_244Together we have gone through a difficult year and through an “extreme change in the atmosphere” we have entered into an autumn “festive celebration.” It is not enough that the sirens have subsided and the time of holidays and vacations have arrived, as if intentionally to make it possible for us to pause and have the ability to calmly evaluate what happened.

So let’s not miss this opportunity. We ourselves have grown on other holidays, but it could be that this will specifically help us lift the traditional covering a bit and peer a drop more deeply into the essence of things. The present holidays remind us that union is the key to solving our problems. I hope that everyone will receive their message and implement it this year.

How Can We Draw The Upper Light?

laitman_530Question: How can we draw the upper light? How do we know it works?

Answer: It is only through our efforts to connect and to unite! If I am in a group of people who have the same intention and the same upper spiritual goal and we try to connect and to unite, we draw the Light that Reforms.

We feel to what extent we suddenly change and to what extent we understand the system that is inside us that connects all parts of reality.

We begin to feel that our world is full of new forces and we see how these forces connect to one network, and the plan operates this network. This plan is called the Creator, the upper force that manages our world. We discover the upper leadership and begin to participate in it.

A Spiritual World? It’s Simple!

laitman_933Question: How is the spiritual world revealed?

Answer: Ten people sit together studying and speaking about the connection between them, while each one annuls himself before the others, and thus they unite.

Through this unity, they reach a feeling that the upper world is revealed between them. This is the fulfillment of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

It is so simple and near! It is only thanks to the annulment of our ego, when we ascend above it, that we discover the upper world, the upper system that manages our world. Anyone can discover it!

The wisdom of Kabbalah tells us how to do it in a very simple manner. By using this method, we can reach a state in which we attain this system: how it operates, how it manages us, and how we can respond to it and control our fate.

What Kind Of Life Are We Preparing For Our Grandchildren?

Laitman_001_01Question: People today enjoy an affluent life, and the economy is based on this. A person sets his corporeal development as a goal. He dreams of buying a new car and a new house.

Will a person receive pleasure not from material acquisitions, but from social ties when he reaches the new level of human development?

Answer: A person receives pleasure from attaining the upper force.

A consumerist society will come to a complete dead end, and when despair is felt from this, we will have to explain that there is a solution, but it is a new education and teaching for everyone.

Baal HaSulam said that the major mistake of the Russian revolutionists at the beginning of the last century was that they didn’t act for the Creator’s sake.

This is actually what stood in their way of building the right state.

They didn’t take into account the general system that requires our unity in order to attain an upper spiritual level. They did not set a sublime goal for themselves that would provide a solution for corporeal life and for attainting eternal existence.

There is no solution in our corporeal life. We can only close our eyes and ignore the fact that we are doomed to die as if we didn’t worry about what the future brings. However, it is clear to everyone that man is not eternal.

All of society’s current problems stem from the fact that people have no answer for the meaning of life and what we are living for. This is the reason that terrorist organizations and religious wars are growing stronger, thus bringing the world to the brink of a new world war.

Where does all that stem from, while there is such material affluence in the modern world? The reason is that people don’t understand what they are living for, and so there is such confusion in the world.

However, there is a solution, and the wisdom of Kabbalah offers it to us. It isn’t about the simple correction of the economy in order to provide everyone the products they desire, but actually it gives a person much more.

The economy is only meant for providing what we need in order to exist, but the main goal is to ascend to a higher level.

I don’t want my children to live the same life I live, to grow old and die like me, and for my grandchildren and the future generations to have the same fate too. I want to give them more than this mortal existence!

The 12 Tribes Of Israel: The Order Of The Correction

laitman_933The Torah, “Numbers” 10:13 – 10:15: This was the first journey at God’s bidding through Moses. The banner of the camp of Judah’s children traveled first according to their legions. Heading the legion was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. Heading the legion of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar.

The movement of the twelve tribes, one following the other, symbolizes the parts of the general soul that are corrected in a certain order and sequence, starting from Judah.

Question: Why is the camp of Judah the first to be corrected?

Answer: In our days, we all are considered the descendants of the tribe of Judah.

Judah is the senior of all of the twelve tribes. This is the first of the twelve attributes that must undergo correction.

The Ladder Of Union

laitman_943Question: Is it possible to measure the level of union among the people and according to it to say how far we are from another holocaust?

Answer: According to the degree of connection between us, we can measure our place on the spiritual ladder, which is called Jacob’s Ladder, how we rise from our world in 125 levels, through five worlds until we attain Olam Ein Sof.

In every world, there are five Partzufim, in every Partzuf, there are five Sefirot, and in sum there are 125 levels (5 x 5 x 5). The difference between all of these levels is greater and greater connection and union between us.

This union always is realized in a group of ten (Minyan). If we connect correctly, we nullify ourselves, and then we begin to feel the connection between us, as well as a new spiritual force that is discovered in our connection.

The more we connect, the more each one of us feels how he rises on the ladder of spiritual levels, until reaching its end.
