How Does One Break Away From Monetary Problems?

laitman_626Question: What should one do to make more money and not suffer?

Answer: The best situation is when a man has a steady job, gets a fixed salary, and in his spare time engages in things that aren’t related to profit or wasting money.

Then his mind breaks away from thinking about monetary problems. It suddenly becomes clear to him that he can get along well, because in principle, a person doesn’t need much to live: clothing, food, housing, and to pay taxes. And everything else should be in a completely different area: spiritual needs, perceptions, and so forth. A person should specifically direct himself this way because things won’t be any better later on. People in the world will never be able to make much of a profit. The worldwide “Golden Age” and its bourgeois habits are over.

We have the ability to provide everyone with an income necessary for existence: food, clothing, housing, education for children, and so forth, everything required for a person to function normally without luxuries. Modern technological development makes it possible for us to provide for all of these needs.

Women In Power

laitman_627_2In the News (Financial Policy): “For the first time in history, the inner chambers of global leadership may go genuinely coed. The anointment of Theresa May as Britain’s next prime minister, the seemingly endless rule of Angela Merkel in Germany, the brightening prospects of Hillary Clinton in the U.S. presidential race, and the presence of women on the shortlist to succeed U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon (though last week’s straw poll wound up with men in the top slots) could mean that as of early next year, global summitry will see nearly as many pantsuits and scarves as it does suits and ties. …

“Contemplating the rise of female leaders in Britain and the United States and at the U.N., it is hard not to think of what the business world has termed the ‘glass cliff’: the notion that women are elevated to power amid crises so daunting that men are deterred for fear of failure, prompting women to step up to no-win situations. …

“Amid these challenges, it is tempting to hope — and there is some evidence to indicate — that this cohort of female leaders may turn to one another as a source of solidarity, forging effective partnerships that translate into policy results. Betsy Polk and Maggie Ellis Chotas have written a book arguing that when women team up professionally they can achieve greater confidence, flexibility, and accountability than is attainable in other working relationships. Across multiple academic disciplines, research confirms that women tend to be more open to teamwork than men.”

Answer: Women are more open, more collective, and less egoistic in teamwork. They require support; they consolidate a collective, a circle around them, while a man would organize a pyramid (dominance).

Also, in serious circumstances, a drive to hide a bit behind a woman is awakened in a man. He must feel her next to him like a child who needs his mother.

It makes no difference if he is mature and healthy, in any case this instinct lives within him. We were born from a woman, we were educated by a woman, we were fed by her, and a woman protected us, clothed us, washed and dried us. So when we are not sure of ourselves, we feel like children, needing female, motherly support. It is not for nothing that it is said that behind every successful man stands a woman.

On the other hand, we must understand that there must be a proper integration between a man and woman. The problem is that in our times both men and women are egoists and someone who rises to power cannot do anything good. A man will not hide behind a woman and unfortunately, even though a woman will partially function collectively, this will be without result because neither these nor those have a method for collective management.

Our world is becoming integral, so much so that everything concludes with this fact. The fact is that in various nations women have risen to power, and in nations like Germany, England, the United States, and France, there is an indication that men are feeling the uncertainty that is sitting in our subconscious. So nature is revealing that advancing to the front of the stage is a woman who is strong, in control, calm and confident, whom men imagine as a mother whose “skirt can be held.”

Question: What can be expected for us in the near future?

Answer: A serious shock can be expected for us in the future because a woman in power is a sign that the situation in the world is truly dim and unclear.

We need to understand that precisely in this situation, in spite of everything, men are obliged to go to the front of the stage. It is specifically the men who must acquire and master the method of correction of the world, seeing their role and realizing it. While women always adapt themselves to men, there is no need to throw everything on them.

One must take into account that they find themselves at the head of the nation against their will because we have been hurled into a dead end. But the correction must always move and be carried out through the men.

laitman_959Question: You talk about unity and connection between friends all the time. What is united and for what? Where is it possible to get the correct definition of unity? Even unity with friends is a concept that is not understood. The same person whom I consider a friend today might not be a friend anymore in a month.

Answer: The Bnei Baruch Kabbalah website exists for this purpose. It is possible to find all the materials on the subject there. One can simply go to the website, read, and gradually get a correct understanding of the concept of unity that the wisdom of Kabbalah is talking about.

Our world is integral, it is a single unified system, while we, humanity, are found in egoistic opposition between us.

To become similar to the general nature, the general system, we must connect and unite among us. The entire role of the person is to reach a need for unity wisely and consciously, and to begin this process with the help of the method of unification of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

I am happy that the possibility exists to become familiar with the method through the Bnei Baruch Kabbalah website; it is available for every person in every language.

laitman_281_02Question: When a person is involved with the wisdom of Kabbalah, does he become more sensitive to pain?

Answer: Yes, he can train himself to a particular degree, but in principle, he becomes more sensitive in regard to everything.

Question: Does the concept of regret about the past exist in the wisdom of Kabbalah as a request for correction in the future?

Answer: It is not necessary to regret anything because everything that has been done up to the present moment has been done by the Creator and was done correctly.

Question: Is it possible to awaken people who have left their heads in social networks?

Answer: Try to get them out through those social networks.

Question: Are there “heavy” souls who are different from “light” souls that cannot be corrected?

Answer: No, everyone has his destiny and someone who has a connection with the wisdom of Kabbalah doesn’t have a heavy soul.

Question: Many questions for you, my teacher, arise in me, but while I am forming them, I find the answers. What should I do?

Answer: Very simple, continue!

Question: What can interfere with someone studying Kabbalah correctly?

Answer: Only one thing: the lack of the proper desire. We need to be concerned only about there being a desire! The desire will even bring a person to that place where they study and are involved with the wisdom of Kabbalah. This will help him enter into a serious and proper circle of communication.

The Spiritual Gene, Part 2

Laitman_096Question: Where is the spiritual DNA of a person hidden?

Answer: The spiritual gene doesn’t have a place to be found; it is the same as not being able to find where the desire of a person hides. It is impossible to extract desire from the body, only when the body dies do all desires disappear from it. However, the spiritual DNA doesn’t appear and disappear because it exists in a space where there is no concept of time.

Question: How does the spiritual DNA select into which body to dress?

Answer: All individual spiritual DNA (Reshimot) are connected between themselves into one perfect system. And in order for this system to come to an understanding, awareness, and a sense of itself it has to go from the state of its full shattering and disconnection to the state of complete connection. The system should go through this process gradually, implementing itself and achieving unity through its free choice.

Part of the process that leads the system to the correct connection that we undergo is through external links. That is, we don’t feel that we are involved in one common desire and remain indifferent and alien to each other’s desires. This perception is called the sense of this world, meaning that all exists on the basis of the fact that we feel like strangers to each other.

The spiritual DNA determines all material development. However, it is difficult to trace this dependence because the spiritual DNA acts according to completely different laws where the beginning and the end connect together and where there isn’t any freedom of choice, but everything is strictly predetermined.

Yet with respect to the people taking part in this system, there is complete freedom of will, therefore the future is still to be determined. We may be distanced from one another but spiritually connected so much so that we instantly affect the fate of each other.

New Life #343 – The Future Leadership, Part 2
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

In a system where everyone influences others, everyone can be a leader of society as a whole. What should we aspire for and how should we lead our life toward` a bright future?

Summary

Today everyone is connected to everyone else and we cannot keep thinking only egoistically. Because of the network that has been formed, a country that is isolated collapses. This is the strongest weapon.

Marx understood that the next phase of humanity after capitalism is living as one family.

We have no choice, because a new force is operating on us today, the network force. Narrow individualism is collapsing. A leader needs to explain the situation the world is in and the necessity of developing “love thy friend as thyself.”

Nature develops mankind to be mutually connected as one big family. A person can develop the feeling of others by special exercises according to the integral education method. A special force is revealed in the effort to connect, the integral force of nature itself, and it connects us.
