In the near future, the unemployed throughout the world will total 80% of the world population. In order to somehow reassure them without bringing this critical situation to the point of a new world war, it is first necessary to provide them with an adequate income, which must be done in any case.

Secondly, we need to provide them with integral education. Let them sit down and learn to unite. The world today doesn’t need anything else. And so it will rise until it reaches a spiritual level, and then physical sensations in general will begin to fade.

Question: But shouldn’t change come from the top? Would the elite want to listen to this?

Answer: Those at the top will be interested in these changes because the fear that riots might begin will force them to listen.

After all, each unemployed American keeps two or three guns at home. They can start rioting tomorrow. Therefore, the elite should be very interested in organizing a system of integral education and providing an adequate income to the entire population of the American Rust Belt.

The egoistic fuel has burned out completely. The world has stopped getting egoistic pleasure from life and is looking for new opportunities. In the end, it will lead us to the need for integral education.

Spreading integral education is the most accurate realization of the wisdom of Kabbalah in the last generation. There is no other work that would be more accurately directed to the purpose of creation and to the upper force.

All of the abstract theories are nothing compared with this practical work to organize people on a massive scale so that they will unite at least a little bit and begin to reveal a positive force between them. This will cause huge, positive changes, not just in human society, but in the upper system that affects the entire world.

Comment: Recently you explained the subject of the proper perception of reality, more precisely of creation. But currently, I cannot perceive this.

Answer: We do not perceive information from the outside through our five senses, as it seems to us.

The senses through which we perceive our Ohr Pnimi (Inner Light) are organized within us according to the degree of equivalence and resemblance of our desires to the Light, to the Creator. To the degree that He is revealed in our system of resemblance to Him, which is called HaVaYaH, it becomes our spiritual senses.

To the degree that we improve and change them to bestowal, we begin to perceive the changing world, the Light that is closest to us.

Question: Why was it necessary to conceal the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: It was only so that humanity would not be confused. In our time, if people read a book of Kabbalah, they will not understand anything in it because in order to understand it, a person must ascend to a higher level and begin using the forces that operate there. Therefore, the Kabbalists hid their books.

There is no reason to reveal what nature itself hides. For example, nature revealed its nuclear energy 2,000 years ago, but it was only in the last century that people began to use it. Imagine what would have happened if that had occurred earlier!

Question: To balance the egoism, one needs to attain the positive force in nature. How does one discover it?

Answer: It is only if he acts according to the integral system: working in a group, nullifying himself toward the friends correctly, and studying the wisdom of Kabbalah together with them. In that way, he awakens and invites upon himself the influence of that positive force concealed in nature.

In our world, everything is based upon mutual cooperation between plus (the positive force) and minus (the negative force), but the plus level of human nature is concealed; we must get it from nature. To do this, a person must long to attain the positive force.

This is possible only if a person maintains all the conditions that I indicated earlier. Then he arouses the revelation of the positive force on himself. Through balancing it with the negative force, he builds himself.

Question: How would you explain your claim that humanity has 223 years left to exist?

Answer: 5,777 years ago, there was a human being called Adam. He discovered that a method exists through which it is possible to attain the upper world.

We consider the day he made this discovery as his birthday. We celebrate it as Rosh Hashanah. Adam wrote about his discovery in a book called Raziel HaMalach. From that date we begin the numbering of the traditional calendar, from 5,777 years ago.

Therefore, around 200 years remain until all of humanity will attain the upper world, like Adam HaRishon (The First Man), which means we will feel our true state if we just go beyond the limitations of our ego.

Baal HaSulam explained this beautifully in his metaphor of “the worm and the radish.”

When the worm sticks his head outside of the radish and looks at the world, he sees the sun shining and birds chirping. It is amazed at how it was living in such a terrible world all the time while there was a higher world that is so wonderful.

So we also need “to go out of our radish.” Just as the bitterness of the radish stimulated the worm to crawl out of the radish, so suffering pushes us out of our world.

There is nothing interesting in our world, and true fulfillment is attained only with the help of the method of the wisdom of Kabbalah. Today all of humanity is gradually beginning to feel that our world is a “bitter radish,” so they are beginning to approach the wisdom of Kabbalah.

New Life 803 – The Illusion Of Liberalism
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

“Liberalism” and “democracy” are nice words, but in practice, they don’t really exist. The elites have always been “siphoning” everything for themselves while the lower classes starve. The time has come for us to sober up!

In other forms of government, the truth was at least clear and the illusion of equality wasn’t sold to the people. We cannot call our development progress because people today are much more cruel. Today there are many unemployed. This trend will only increase due to technology. Society stands at the crossroads.

A person will seemingly be free, yet he will not actually have anything to feed his family. Even a fascistic approach, which is intensifying in the world today, will not bring a solution. We are modern slaves, told by the media that we are free.

The connection between the individual and society needs to be corrected, like in a family with warm, secure, mutual, loving connection. In Russia they tried to build communism by force, through oppression. Society and those who stand at its head must particularly be concerned about this, ministers and government officials today are concerned only about themselves.

Society must relate to the individual like a child in the family and must take care of his needs to benefit him. A society that is conducted like a family will be able to be built through an education for connection; the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches how to do this. There is a special force in the wisdom of Kabbalah that can change a person’s egoistic nature. If we don’t learn the method for correcting human nature from the wisdom of Kabbalah, fascism and world war are in our future.

Torah, Deuteronomy 15:11: For there will never cease to be needy within the land. Therefore, I command you, saying, you shall surely open your hand to your brother, to your poor one, and to your needy one in your land.

The Torah calls a person to reveal, through the connection to all others, that he can become a mechanism of their filling, a part of the general system. Each one must do it, because he is unique exactly in this. And “there will never cease to be needy” until thed final correction, until everyone is filled from each other, one through the other.

Therefore, in front of each one is the rest of humanity, all other souls. They are the “needy” that he has to fill. After all, all the others are me! Only now I don’t feel it, but as soon as I begin to fill them, I will feel that it is mine.

Each one of us is unique, because the Light goes through him to the rest of the souls. Nobody can avoid this work. Each one is obliged to fulfill his mission and perfection will be achieved only as an overall result.

Question: Even the Talmud says that one judges according to his own flaws, that everyone judges according to his level of corruption, which means that even back then people understood that by changing their properties, they would be able to see the world.

Can we say that the connection with others was given to a person only so that he can check his attitude toward them since a person sees what is negative in others, and what is in him he always sees as positive? How can we use this principle in order to advance?

Answer: The external world exists only in a person’s perception, but he cannot say whether it exists externally to him.

Does the world continue to exist for a person who lives today but is gone tomorrow, or not? A person cannot determine or prove that. No one can determine or prove that, including Newton, because with regard to each of us, the whole world is an absolute, subjective illusion.

One may say that we see how a person dies and the world continues to exist, but with regard to the person who died, we cannot determine anything because we don’t share his feeling.

Thus a person was created like that in order to alter his attitude to others, which for him is the indication of exiting himself and of feeling the upper world outside himself. The world outside a person is the upper world.

Question from Facebook: What is a dream, and what happens to the soul during sleep?

Answer: A dream is a purely physiological state of the beastly body, which has no relation to spirituality.

Rest is typical not only for humans but also for animals and plants. This suggest the need to alternate between two states, on and off, like the alternation of day and night.

Question: What happens to the soul during sleep?

Answer: A person has no soul! He is simply an animal that has only a bud (point) that can be developed with the help of studying the wisdom of Kabbalah, and then within him he will begin “to cultivate,” to grow, a spiritual organ called a soul. But this is only to the degree that a person carries out serious work on himself.

Moreover, he cannot carry this out alone but only in a society in which all the points are connected together, and that is how they create one single point that is composed of ten, which is called a spiritual Minyan (group of ten).

So, within the group of ten, by nullifying themselves and connecting together, they will begin to feel a spiritual force, a spiritual state. A connection like this is called a “soul,” within which the state of the next level is already felt, called the upper world.

But when a person just goes to sleep, this is a natural, beastly state that arises as a result of an internal overload of all the thoughts, emotions, memories, and so forth.

So during sleep, as a rule, we connect with what happened during the daytime because our thoughts are reloaded and sink internally to a deeper level of memory, and we feel this as dreams, which can take on different forms because they are cut off from egoistic desires. They are no longer found within the desires, but in thoughts above the desires.

There are states when dreaming that we can sense the future, but this has no connection to the wisdom of Kabbalah. There are some people who feel this more, others feel it less, and there are people like Wolf Messing, who feel the future in general, not necessarily during sleep. But this is absolutely irrelevant to the spiritual world, to the soul. Everyone has a bud for the beginning of the soul, but it is necessary to develop it. The wisdom of Kabbalah is waiting for you.
