Question: Why do we often say that we must reach a goal, but we don’t pay attention to the corrected state already existing in everyone?

Answer: Yearning for the goal is the determinant and the force for our development, whereas focusing on the corrected state prevents movement toward the goal.

When I begin working with the group I gradually encounter all kinds of problems. This is how the Creator reveals the area of work for me so I will resolve all problems that come up, cover them with bridges of love, and create conditions for His revelation within the group.

So I tie myself with the other group members, as the ten Sefirot, and provide a place for the Creator’s revelation between us.

Therefore, we constantly have to remind one another about this. After all, the Creator constantly resets us in our earthly philistinism, and we have to rise from it toward the spiritual tuning, to the correct view of the situation.

This is our constant work. We rise to the new spiritual state from the earthly, confusing world that the Creator makes for us on purpose.

New Life 763 – Europe – The End Of An Era
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

The European positive values ride on top of a person’s ego like an external coating, see Hitler for example. Today everyone uses nice language but only the wisdom of Kabbalah that is being revealed today can fulfill these positive ideas.

The best European values “ride” on top of the human ego like an external coating, see Hitler for example. Today everyone speaks beautiful words, but the ability to exercise them is brought only the by wisdom of Kabbalah that is being revealed today. Today people have to learn the internality of Israel, the idea and the method of connecting above egoism. The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us how to use the force of connection that is concealed in nature in order to truly connect.

No real connection comes from external changes; it comes from a person’s inner change. This is a method to transcend the ego, to acquire a new nature of bestowal and love, without which we are facing an abyss. Europe thought they could create an enlightened man without internal change, but because human nature is to want to enjoy and always thinks of oneself alone, the EU has failed. It’s like getting people who hate each other to live in one apartment when it is better to stay away from each other.

Radical Islam is the common problem, but without it the Europeans were already devouring each other. Because Europe is the most developed continent, it is actually Europe where the correction and the example for the whole world can stem from. In order to find the good force in nature, we have to learn about human nature, the nature of the world, and how we develop.

In the News (vz.ru): “The end of ‘helicopter money,’ or rather, the use of this strategy may come faster than expected by some politicians in the US and the EU. They think that super-cheap credit – is a temporary measure. But they are wrong.

“‘Scattering money from a helicopter’ – is an idea the US and EU financiers are repeating more often. Naturally, spreading the money is meant only to provide super-cheap loans to banks. About the unemployed, social benefits, or state increases to wages of millions of workers in the West, they are not talking. …

“”Providing easy money for the banks in the United States for the activation of consumer lending is a policy that has exhausted itself. …

“For the West, there is another alternative: returning to the development of the manufacture of those goods that for decades they have imported from China and other countries.”

My Comment: But this also won’t help because the current crisis is not a crisis as happened in the past. It is the manifestation of a new stage in the development of humanity. It is caused by the program rooted in nature, not by us.

According to this program, a person has to change and to turn into a social creature, which means to change his conduct from an egoist individualist to a person who is active in society, an altruist. This is actually the model of an integral world or a small village.

A person can undergo such a transformation only under the influence of the special force in nature that can be spurred only by implementing the method of the wisdom of Kabbalah. This is the reason it is revealed today.

Question: How can money be equal to bestowal?

Answer: It isn’t money but the efforts which are measured. Money is a bag of gold or silver, which is weighed and measured according to the force of gravity and how much of that force I have over the size of the bag according to which I can bestow. This is how it can be explained from the perspective of physics.

Question: What is the spiritual root of debts?

Answer: It is our debt to the Creator, which is manifested between us in this way.

Question: If my profession involves breaking the law, does the wisdom of Kabbalah distinguish between how money is made, or does money have no smell?

Answer: Money has no smell only if you don’t use it to harm other people.

Question: How should I relate to someone who borrowed money from me but doesn’t pay it back?

Answer: You have the right to demand your money back in any way you find fit: by taking him to court or any other way. But at the same time you have to take into account the economic situation of the person who owes you money. Perhaps he really cannot pay back his debt. In that case you should not “kill” him.

Question: Is the banking system a parasite living off society or can it benefit the world?

Answer: Today it is already a very big parasite living off society. The banking system is basically meant to convey money to places that are short of money. For example by being an intermediary in payment in industry, etc., but since the banks started thinking only about themselves, the banking system has become a parasite. The bankers receive huge salaries from the money that we deposit in the banks. What is more, they have billions in profits from using the public’s money.

Question: Money and success go hand in hand. Can one be successful by using the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: Yes, that’s possible but only if you begin to seriously engage in drawing the Upper Light unto yourself through the group. Then you will be happy, healthy, successful, and rich, both spiritually and in your corporeal life.

Question: If I find some money, do I have to look for the person it belongs to?

Answer: If you have no information who the money belongs to, then according to the Torah you don’t have to look for the person it belongs to. At the same time, according to the Torah, you may have to bring the money to the police.

Question: Does the obligation to work for a living also refer to women?

Answer: Today yes.

Question: It says “beware of the poor because they will bring our salvation.” How are these two things connected?

Answer: The term “poor” means a feeling of worthlessness, emptiness, and a great yearning to attain the upper world. It is actually this state that pushes a person to acquire a filling and feel rich.

Question: The ancients wrote, “search for the woman!” Why were “free” women throughout history identified as the source of conflicts, separation, wars, and trouble?

Answer: That depends on the men not the woman. The woman, of course, has her own character: deceit, desire to possess a man to use him.

This is a purely egoistic desire of women that exists in all of us, including in men. Therefore, in our world the correction is placed more on the male part. In man there exists the feminine (egoism) and the masculine (the ability to correct the ego). And with women, the arrangement of the forces between the right and left lines, between the desire to receive and the intention to bestow, is different.

They are aimed more at their nature and depend on it. Men are more distracted from spiritual work because their involvement with women, since, as it is said, his biggest desire is the sexual desire toward women, especially after the destruction of the Temple, and as if with women, the distraction from the spiritual world comes from their dependence on men. Thus, the picture of their disturbances, if different, is wider and mutual.

Question: What does it mean that women are dependent on men?

Answer: A woman needs a man; she looks for and needs to be close to him, wants to be connected and is dependent on him because the desire of the woman after all, is to have a home and family.

Question: That’s if she is single, but if she is married, then what disturbances does she have?

Answer: Since a woman is focused only on family, on children, it swallows her, but nowadays many other problems exist, all kinds of side effects appear as a result of our approaching Gmar Tikkun (end of correction). In general, the disturbances on the way to spirituality are different and appear differently for women and for men.
