“You Shall Not Steal”

laitman_546_01Torah, “Deuteronomy,” 05:17: And you shall not steal…

Be vigilant not to wish to receive for yourself those fulfillments and pleasures that are revealed in the quality of bestowal. This is called stealing.

It is forbidden to transfer anything from the “household” of the Creator to our egoistic desires.

It doesn’t matter that all the pleasure immediately evaporates. Nonetheless it is stealing.

On the other hand, if the Torah says that this is forbidden, it means that this is impossible and you won’t be able to use anything for your own sake, e.g., to steal or to commit adultery. In the spiritual world you won’t be permitted to do so, because the law is above you there.

Therefore, the Torah gives us instructions how to accurately adjust ourselves to fulfill spiritual laws.

Why Were The Jews Given So Many Talents?

laitman_627_1Question: Why are the Jews responsible for most of the inventions in the world and everyone else uses their discoveries?

Answer: The Jews have a point in the heart, which is the beginning of the next level of human evolution. This is the reason that they are generally more developed in many aspects than other ordinary people.

The Jewish people were actually given many talents so that they can carry out their main purpose—uniting with each other, revealing its sublime state, and showing this example to the whole world.

When every man in the world begins to study and engage in the wisdom of Kabbalah and connect to its altruistic system, he will immediately attain these talents to the fullest.

The Jews have such talents because they lived on an altruistic level until the destruction of the Temple.

Workers Are Lazy? The Solution Is In The Circle

laitman_600_02In the News (Russian Baazar): ‘Today, no one is working as 10 and even 50 years ago – said Dirk Samelson, owner of a small diner in California. – I have been in business for nearly 70 years and have never seen such a number of slow-moving workers. Cleaners, waiters, cooks – they are constantly distracted by smartphones or empty talk. I do not know what’s going on with this country.’

“The technological revolution and the popularity of electronic devices has led to a sharp drop in the labor productivity of Americans. People have begun to move more slowly, and the sense of responsibility and discipline has declined significantly. That is the conclusion reached by experts at CareerBuilder Resource as a result of a large-scale survey of employers. Today, one in five managers believes that his subordinates engaged in professional duties less than 5 hours within a standard 8-hour day. …

“Employers complain that their subordinates pick up their smartphones every 15 – 20 minutes. Prohibiting the use of phones during business hours, does no good. People are offended or they easily dismiss the rule or they make discrimination claims to the authorities. …

“55% of Americans use smartphones during the working day. Most often they use the Internet, studying the weather, read news, play, do shopping, send SMS-messages and rewritten in social networks. Stopping the practice of using a smartphone is impossible because workers try to do it secretly.

“39% of employees spend time on banal chatter. …

“Almost 27% of workers have a responsible attitude to their duties, but they are constantly interrupted by other colleagues. Busy people are being drawn into the conversation, forced to discuss movies and music and so on. At the same time, Americans are often ashamed to utter the phrase ‘I’m sorry, but I need to work,’ and obediently listen to non-performing peers.

“More than 27% of Americans severely abused breaks, referred to as smoke break (a smoke) and snack break (snack). A person takes 5 – 6 such breaks daily and loses at least half an hour (the official time for lunch does not count). ”

My Comment: People are not to blame; egoism is developing and they have no choice. The only solution is educating workers according to the circle method our organization has developed. See “the wisdom of the circle.” This is a method that can be recommended to everyone.

New Life #505 – The Search For Meaning In Daesh

New Life #505 – The Search For Meaning In Daesh
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Summary

Since the sixties, we see how young people began asking about the meaning of life, but nobody had an answer. The elites understood the necessity of somehow stopping the little man and began to develop a culture of leisure. Yet the question about the meaning of life still pecks away from within and doesn’t allow anyone to rest.

When youth join Daesh and other extremist groups, it is from a sense of lack of meaning in their lives. These terrible activities give them some kind of significance, meaning, and goal in life, that their lives are not so small and insignificant, and there is a reason to live.

There is a feeling among the younger generation of not understanding why their parents gave birth to them at all in such a terrible world. The era has permitted the hastening of awareness that everything is empty, secondary, and tasteless.

This acceleration leads to the goal, which is balance with nature. What is meaningful is love and bestowal to everyone, because in the world of tomorrow, people will be linked to each other consciously and willingly and not because they have no choice.
