At The Level Of Thought

Dr. Michael LaitmanThe Torah, “Devarim,” 1:03: It came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel according to all that the Lord had commanded him regarding them.

Question: How can the entire Israel hear Moses?

Answer: If billions of people unite between themselves and a shared property of mutuality emerges within them, they feel each other as if they are in one physical location, that is, they are so merged that there is no distance, no transitions between them. In this case it is possible to address all seven billion people of the world population.

What does it meant “to address”? You merge with them and all that is in you is transfused into them at the level of thought.

Question: Even without words?

Answer: Of course! We are talking about internal spiritual work and not about physical actions or attributes of our world.

The Subject Of The Wisdom Of Kabbalah

Dr. Michael LaitmanQuestion: What is the subject of the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: The subject that wisdom of Kabbalah explores is the possibility of being like the upper Light, the characteristic of absolute bestowal, the Light that surrounds us and within which we all exist.

Question: What exactly does the wisdom of Kabbalah explore in a person?

Answer: The wisdom of Kabbalah explores only one of his properties, the property of reception that is opposite to the property of bestowal, and the process by which it becomes similar to bestowal.

Question: Is there repeatability of results in the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: Certainly, a Kabbalist constantly carries out experiments on himself and verifies them every second according to the Kabbalistic sources, where everything has already been written before him in different dimensions: the intensity of the Masach (screen), the Restriction, the characteristic of bestowal, its power, mutual interaction with the upper Light, resistance and so forth. Newton took the main elementary laws of mechanics specifically from there.

A Struggle Between Opposites Or Harmony Between Them?

laitman_623Question: Are the souls divided according to gender?

Answer: The souls indeed are divided according to gender like the bodies in our world. Only simple types of organisms can function simultaneously as a male and as a female.

In fact, everything begins from plus and minus, from positive and negative, even on the atomic level. After all, the universe was created and began to expand after the Big Bang, when a small spark of Light penetrated our world from the upper level.

This spark began to generate positive and negative elements of nature like electrons, protons, neutrons, and so on. Consequently, all of nature is built on pairs of opposites where one cannot exist without the other. At the same time, there is no struggle between them, which we may want to see in our world for egoistic reasons only, and everything is made of the right mutual connection between pairs of opposites.

Therefore, we shouldn’t think that someone is good and someone is bad. We should understand that our evolution, our progress, and our very existence wouldn’t be possible without the right mutual cooperation between men and women.

So, there is no room for wars between the sexes. There cannot be a plus without a minus, a positive force without a negative force, or the north pole of a magnet without its south pole. Every part of nature is built according to its specific oppositeness because it cannot exist otherwise.

When nature mutually cooperates with all of its inner forces, we evolve harmoniously as everything is built on the harmony between two states, systems, poles, and the opposite forces that exist in it.

The Rigid Structure Of The Twelve Tribes

Dr. Michael LaitmanThe Torah, “Numbers,” 36:5 – 36:7: Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying, “The tribe of Joseph’s descendants speak justly. This is the word that the Lord has commanded regarding Zelophehad’s daughters. Let them marry whomever they please, but they shall marry only to the family of their father’s tribe. Thus, the inheritance of the children of Israel will not be transferred from tribe to tribe, for each person from the children of Israel will remain attached to the inheritance of his father’s tribe.”

Each tribe symbolizes twelve main organs of a single organism. Is it possible to tear off a part of the liver and attach it to the spleen, or a part of the spleen and attach it to the lungs? Therefore intermixing between the tribes was practically forbidden.

This is a rigid system, where everyone has his own particular soul and he needs to exist exactly inside this organ. Neither a woman nor a man could join another tribe. However, after the destruction of the Temple, when the people of Israel fell off the spiritual degree, restrictions on the marriages between tribes were cancelled.

The Torah, “Numbers,” 36:8 – 36:9: Every daughter from the tribes of the children of Israel who inherits property, shall marry a member of her father’s tribe, so each one of the children of Israel shall inherit the property of his forefathers. And no inheritance will be transferred from one tribe to another tribe, for each person of the tribes of the children of Israel shall remain attached to his own inheritance.”

Amongst religious people to this day exists a very clear definition of who belongs to which tribe. Therefore they try to marry within their tribes.

Before, if a woman from one tribe married a man from another tribe, the land inherited by her was transferred there.

“Woman” symbolizes egoism that moves from one to another, meaning that her “inheritance,” an egoistic desire, is transferred together with her.

Germany Is Disappointed With Netanyahu

Laitman_727Question: Germany is becoming increasingly disappointed with the policies of Netanyahu. The prime minister of Germany, Mrs. Merkel, who has supported Israel until recently, met with Mahmoud Abbas two weeks ago and expressed her support to him.

It is possible to see clearly how German policy toward Israel is changing, and incitement against us has begun even for those who have been close to us.

Answer: For the last seventy years, after World War II, Germany conducted a very clear policy of support for Israel. Germany always related legitimately in regard to the Jews, apparently atoning this way for their feelings of guilt regarding them.

In contrast to this, today it is the opposite. All of the nations of the world are accusing Israel and have no regrets about the six million Jews that were killed in World War II. Soon, there won’t be any nation left that supports us or votes for us in the United Nations or in other international organizations.

The charges against Israel lately have become an accepted correction by everyone. Some accuse us more, some less, and soon the nations will begin to compete over who will bring more complaints against us. We will be ostracized by all of the nations of the world, and no attempts to evade this will help us.

First, the nations of the world expect only one thing from us: We must show them an example of connection and unity. The world urgently needs unity. Otherwise, it will become unbalanced. The Jews again have become a stumbling block, a point around which everything revolves, or the general and only reason for all of the troubles of the world.

Second, the higher power has come into play directly and is working with us through the other peoples. We must carry out our historical mission in any case, but this will be through blows because we don’t want to carry it out in a good way voluntarily.

In a manner like this, all of the nations of the world who are being pushed by the higher power again will strike us on all levels: mentally, materially, and physically.

If we don’t attract the Creator toward us, don’t bring Him closer to our world and don’t stimulate His discovery in the world, then the evil forces will appear, and they will lead us to His discovery, but it will happen in a long way full of difficult suffering. How much are we involved with revealing the Creator to all of the nations of the world? Are we trying to learn a lesson from history? Are we trying to find a logical answer for this? No.

Question: We established the nation of Israel after World War II.

Answer: This right was bought with our blood in order to create a proper nation here, a single people that would become a Light for all peoples and bring them a method of unification that would include an integral and global world. However, in the end, we didn’t act in this direction, and in this way we invited more separation in the world.

Question: Were we given a time period for this and now it’s ending?

Answer: The time period already ended decades ago. We now have entered into the stage of realizing this.
Unfortunately, the Holocaust didn’t teach us anything.

For The Sake Of Our Common Future

Question: How is it possible that while having such great strength and an important mission, the people of Israel can’t even think about its fulfilment?

Answer: Only the wisdom of Kabbalah can explain their mission to the people of Israel. However, unfortunately, Israeli society so far has formed a hostile or at least, an indifferent attitude to the wisdom of Kabbalah. People don’t want to listen and understand what happened.

Therefore, I am so worried about the future of people of Israel and the Jewish people all over the world in general due to the threat of these evil forces that are ready to be revealed. After all, we ourselves are giving them this opportunity and creating a basis for their manifestation.

Question: It seems to me that a Holocaust is not possible today when Jews have their country and army.

Answer: This is a misconception because we see how all of Europe is taking up arms against Israel. UNESCO, the United Nations, and all of the nations of the world oppose us, and no one wants to deal with us.

So far, they still are keeping some contact with us in order to receive new technologies from Israel, but this is a temporary phenomenon. Once, the nations of the world decided to allow us to create the state of Israel, but today they can review their decision and declare that this state shouldn’t exist. If they consider it a thorn in the body of humanity, then they should liquidate it if it brings no benefit.

Indeed, Israel today is in the center of all problems and is creating headlines in the news. Therefore, we must act so that we become an example for all of the nations of the world and give them what they expect from us: the method of connection.

If we don’t want to do it, perhaps we already should disperse in different directions and scatter between other nations and not to wait until we are thrown out of here or until the biggest concentration camp in the world will be built in the territory of Israel.

We need to see this situation in its true light and not delude ourselves the way that national leaders did eighty years ago, when they reassured everyone that there was no danger and everything would be alright. This caused to six million Jews to stay in Europe and die.

We have very little time left to decide what to do. If we don’t accept the wisdom of Kabbalah as the method of correction, we don’t have a future on this planet. Moreover, then the question will arise as to whether there is any future for humanity.

A Man And A Woman – Mutual Completion

Laitman_183_04Question: What is the woman’s role in the man’s spiritual development?

Answer: If a man truly and seriously advances in spirituality, he needs the help of a woman, just as a woman needs the help of a man. They try to realize mutual completion at all times.

Notably, mutual completion is much more important in the spiritual connection than in the physical one. While in the corporeal world, we give birth to the next generation, in the spiritual connection, we give birth to souls. This is very important mutual cooperation. It is so important that until lately, it was forbidden for a man to study the wisdom of Kabbalah unless he was married. It was considered that he can realize himself only if he is married.

Question: This means that a man cannot attain spirituality without a woman, and a woman without a man?

Answer: Yes, the two systems should be balanced, but it doesn’t mean that they must be husband and wife.

Today, the world is undergoing a transitional process from the state of total ignorance regarding the wisdom of Kabbalah to returning to it and using it for our needs. Because the wisdom of Kabbalah has been concealed from people for many years, they don’t understand it yet.

This is the reason that it is so difficult for us to explain how the wisdom of Kabbalah can play a special role in creating harmony between the two sexes. After all, our world is meant to attain harmony, balance between all of its levels and between them and the upper world, and this is impossible without the fulfillment of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

We can use the wisdom of Kabbalah to help us establish the right family relations, to educate our kids correctly, and to establish good relations between families, between people, between nations, and between all of humanity and nature. The order and balance will be attained only by studying the wisdom of Kabbalah that shows us how it can be done. Otherwise, we disrupt the balance in the entire universe, in the world and in nature.

Two Parts Of Creation

laitman_232_08Question: In the spiritual world, can a man be a woman and a woman be a man?

Answer: In the spiritual world, a person is composed both of a male and a female parts. The male part is the attribute of bestowal, which also has to be in a woman, and the female part is the attribute of reception, which has to be in a man as well.

The Creator is portrayed by the male since He has only one attribute: the attribute of bestowal. In relation to the Creator, all of us are like females, the feminine part.
