Partnering With The Upper Force

Dr. Michael LaitmanQuestion: Why should I influence the upper force? After all, I am just a small person in this world. Doesn’t the upper force manage the world with great wisdom?

Answer: On one hand, you are right, but on the other hand, the upper force intentionally manages us in such a way to make it possible for us to study and investigate Him, to summon and awaken His particular influence and come in contact with Him in this way, and even to achieve a partnership with Him.

This is necessary for understanding the structure of the entire world. This way, we ascend from the level of living organisms that carry out activities without intelligence and understanding, to the level of the head of all of creation, all of nature. This is very important. This is what transforms a person into an Adam (Man).

The Spiritual Gene, Part 4

laitman_231_04It seems that our life is built on account of the material genes that determine our appearance and qualities. However, in fact, there is a spiritual charge inside each of us, the spiritual DNA that leads us to where we can connect with each other.

The spiritual DNAs must meet, get included in each other and connect in accordance with our efforts. And in order for us to apply proper efforts we are placed into such an imaginary reality as our physical protein body.

Question: What does it mean to connect through the spiritual DNA?

Answer: We connect into one man, Adam. This is a connection where each one fulfills another in everything. I feel your desires, fulfill them, and exist only for this, not leaving anything for myself. And you do the same, and so do all others.

The wisdom of Kabbalah helps us realize our spiritual DNA, and everything exists only for this purpose. The material world is an illusion that doesn’t exist in reality. It is given to us specifically to confuse us and direct us correctly to the realization of the spiritual DNA.

Question: How does the spiritual DNA of one person differ from another?

Answer: The spiritual DNA is determined by the place of each person in the general system that is called Adam Rishon, first man. The place determines the spiritual purpose of a person, how he must influence others, and what should be his spiritual participation in the general correction. All this decides his fate and the material one too.

Question: If in the material world one person kills another, does it mean that his spiritual DNA was broken and worse than the others?

Answer: We can’t judge so unambiguously. There are a variety of different calculations here. But if he harms a specific person, it means that it is written in his spiritual gene because everything comes only from there. Our world is a world of consequences.

The material DNA is controlled by the spiritual DNA and pushes a person to all sorts of actions. Everything we do is connected with the spiritual DNA because everything comes from it. The material genes are just an animalistic body that acts according to the orders of the spiritual DNA.

Spiritual is the main thing, and the material world is given to us because we are separated from the spiritual system that is called Adam. And therefore it seems to us that we exist independently in our bodies. But there is not any freedom in this.

The spiritual DNA is defining, because it must reach realization, and the material DNA is designed to help her in this, like a donkey that serves a person. Our body is an animal that has to perform actions that help spiritual development.

New Life #344 – Leadership And Government: The Future Leadership, Part 3

New Life #344 – The Future Leadership, Part 3
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

What values should a leader follow? What system should he build in order to create a new society in which everyone can be a leader, and how should we educate youth to leadership?

Summary

A leader should be on the level of love of others and from there lead everyone to corrected relations. He has to lead an internal revolution in people’s attitudes to others, from hatred to love. A true leader is a person for whom love of others comes before any action he performs. He treats everyone like his own children. Such a leader combines feelings and rational thought in the middle line, since for him everything is connected and integral.

There are special exercises in the wisdom of connection that summon a special force that is concealed in nature which can connect us. Leadership is only by education. Any kind of oppression is wrong. An integral leader creates educational processes that enable every individual to lead himself correctly. A leadership course for the youth is needed. A leader’s greatness is determined by the extent to which he closes the gap between him and others and by his the love he brings about.

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.
