The Wisdom Of Kabbalah Has Become Popular

laitman_938_07Question: Why has the wisdom of Kabbalah become more popular today?

Answer: The wisdom of Kabbalah is a wisdom that has to be revealed in our days to all the people in the world. I have been engaging in it for over 40 years. During this time it has really become more popular and sought after in our world, not because we advertise it but because the world needs it.

The wisdom of Kabbalah tells a person what he is living for and how he can ascend from our world to a state of eternity and perfection.

More and more people today feel the need to reveal the meaning of life because in spite of our broad perspective of our world where we look around and see everything from the top down, all the way to the horizon and beyond the horizon, we don’t know what the meaning of our life is on this small planet at the end of the galaxy. People don’t know what we are living for.

They say that when you look at Earth from space you begin to understand a little. Let’s ascend a bit and look at our small planet and at what we engage in, where we are running, and what we are doing. Stop and look. Our perpetual motion steals the main things from us.

We don’t engage in the most important thing that musts be done in our world, which is getting out of its boundaries. The next world exists, and today it is open for everyone. We are in our world like inside a small room, running around like kids, playing and jumping from one corner to another, but if we just open the door and come out, we will see a huge world before us.

The wisdom of Kabbalah enables us to do so. People feel that it is time. Such desires emerge in them. This is the reason that the wisdom of Kabbalah, which speaks about the fulfillment of these desires, is very popular today, and I offer it to you.

Does Every Person Have A Point In The Heart?

laitman_234Question: Does every person have a point in the heart?

Answer: Yes, but there are people whose point in the heart will not be revealed in them for another 200 years, and there are those in whom it has already been revealed today.

We don’t know when the point in the heart will be revealed in a person, so we disseminate the wisdom of Kabbalah without coercion, without any pressure. Someone who wants it, someone to whom this method speaks, will come and learn.

Covering Transgressions With Unified Love

laitman_938_02The soul is our desire to get fulfilled due to the correction and is connected with the desires of other people so that there are no barriers between them anymore.

This common desire is felt by us as one and is called the vessel of the soul. The feeling that we reveal in this common desire is called the Light of the soul or its fulfillment.

But we must sort our desires and fulfillments and always ensure that they are directed only to the mutual bestowal between us and from it to the general mutual bestowal to the Creator.

The vessel of the soul is constructed in such a way that all initial negative qualities remain in it, and the corrections are made above them. That revelation of the transgressions of egoism and their subsequent correction give us a sense of the depth of the connection between us.

We see in our world how in a family and in a friendship various problems arise constantly because we are egoists. And until our egoism is corrected by going through quarrels and conflicts and then correction, and more conflicts and more corrections, we can’t be sure that we are connected with each other.

Therefore, the gradual revelation of all the problems is necessary in order for us to correct ourselves continuously and to connect with each other.

At the same time, those who move forward feel the various problems and contradictions even more, so much so that they can’t cope with them. In this way the general system, the general soul, teaches them how to find the correct connection between each other and where they actually are.

And so on, until the very end! Only once all the transgressions are revealed and a unifed love is revealed above them, a person can be sure that he really is righteous. It is impossible to come to this state if he hasn’t revealed wicked in him.

The Creator reveals this in him; after all, there is nothing new, everything comes from the source of our souls. All the “crimes” are inside a person, and he is obliged to reveal this. The revelation happens in stages, not immediately, according to the qualities, abilities and relationship with the world that he is given. Here he must be in connection with the Creator, in gratitude to Him, and must cover everything with love.

A person is not given what he can’t handle. Evil is revealed only once the Creator gives a person certain internal and external circumstances so he can rise above the evil, overcome it, and cover it with love.

The Two Kabbalistic Languages

laitman_209Question: Is there a mutual connection between the Hebrew alphabet and the Aramaic alphabet? If so, what is it?

Answer: A language opposite from Hebrew, called Aramaic, emerged in ancient Babylon. The two languages have the same alphabet, the same graphic forms, and the same names for each letter.

But the words are written a bit differently because Hebrew expresses the movement from the side of the Light, from the top down, while Aramaic expresses the movement from the bottom up, from the perspective of the Kli (vessel, desire) with regard to the Light. This is the reason that some Kabbalah books were written in Hebrew and some in Aramaic, and there are books in which both languages are used.

It all depends on what the author wanted to say, on which side he described the system, and how we should read it in the most convenient way. Just as we use different computer languages for different programs on our computer, so are the two languages used in order to express the wisdom of Kabbalah: Aramaic and Hebrew.

Why Do The Nations Of The World Need The Wisdom Of Kabbalah?

Dr. Michael LaitmanQuestion: Why do the nations of the world need the wisdom of Kabbalah? Many believe that only Israel needs this.

Answer: The nations of the world specifically need it. The people of Israel are that small fraction of the nations of the world who received the wisdom of Kabbalah in their past. So, today we must restore it in us, realize it again, and disseminate it to the whole world. That is why the people of Israel exist.

Question: If so, why should we reveal the wisdom of Kabbalah to the nations of the world now since the people of Israel have not yet realized it again themselves?

Answer: It is because the time has come. The entire process is happening simultaneously. That is also how it was at the time of the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt. The Egyptians needed to know what was happening with the people of Israel who were among them. The entire process is being realized precisely according to plan and according to the spiritual laws that don’t depend on us but are found within the nature of our existence, our ego.

Humanity must gather together into a single system, a single soul; that is what humanity must attain. After that, humanity will ascend through the spiritual levels to an eternal and infinite state.

Comment: You have chosen work that is not easy.

Response: I haven’t chosen anything, this is the mission that was imposed upon me from above and I must carry it out. In a sense, it is possible to say that I am a servant. But when I see the need for what must be done, I do it and nothing else.

New Life #400 – Sports Education And Group Power

New Life #400 – Sports Education And Group Power
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

You can acquire educational values through sports. What characterizes sports that promote connection compared to ordinary competitive sports, and does group cooperation significantly improve achievements?

Sports can develop a person’s confidence, power, stamina, persistence, and ambitiousness. All this is very important, but we have to fill sports with the spirit of connection. We need to develop sports that require a deep sense of mutuality. It is a good idea to develop activities for the public in parks, physical activities that include dancing and a common motion. The role of the coach is to connect the members of the group. The uniqueness of each member in the group stands out on top of the connection.

We should add training exercises that develop connection, understanding, and a feeling of mutuality. The players should become friends, get closer to each other, eat together, and sleep together until they become one body. They should not compete against each other. They should speak about the connection, the ties between them, about love and mutual understanding. They should get to know each other well.

A perfect group is a group in which all its members move as organs of one body on the field, as one player. We should add a connection workshop to today’s training, to share feelings, to find out how the connection can be made stronger. It is possible to play games with the eyes or ears covered and then try to feel the others internally.

We will see how from one year to the next, the winning group is the one that has the power of connection, and not the group that has individual stars. Today sportsmen use drugs in order to enhance their performance. The power of connection will enhance performance many times more.

It is easy to use drugs, while you have to work on the power of connection, but the power of connection is unlimited. You should not go over board with talks to children, but rather show them the connection between togetherness and success though games. If we nullify the self, we will feel that there is one head in the center of the group from which we all receive orders.

We can perceive these operating orders by creating mutual brotherhood among us and being as one. Such a group will demonstrate perfect harmony and the audience will be stunned and will be drawn into unity between them.
