Question: What is the “revival of the dead” according to the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: In Kabbalah, the revival of the dead means the revival of dead desires. Desires are called dead if they are egoistic and alive if they are altruistic, i.e., are working with an intention for the sake of bestowal. When lifeless, dead, egoistic desires become living, altruistic desires, this is called the revival of the dead.

Question: The language of the Light of Torah penetrates through all the worlds. Does the language of people only create vibration in this world?

Answer: Certainly. You can shout, curse, sing nice songs, or pray, do anything that you want. There is no significance to this; nothing influences the Creator.

You can be heard only when your desires are selflessly directed toward good through your friends‘ “spiritual weapons” directly to the Creator.

This is a language of sensations, a language of friendship, connection, love, and unity. It is not even necessary to clothe it in words and express it; it operates even this way. After all, the forces are what operate, not sound waves.

In the News (Ynet): “According to a report by Credit Suisse, 17,000 Israelis became millionaires in 2016 alone, an increase of 19% from 2015; However, while the average Israeli’s wealth has doubled since 2000, income inequality has steadily risen.

“According to a report published by Credit Suisse, approximately 2% of Israelis have holdings in excess of $1 million, while 32% total between $100,000-$1,000,000, 42.5% between $10,000-$100,000 and 23.5% under $10,000. …

“According to the report, in the last 16 years, the average Israeli citizen’s wealth has doubled from $92,589 to $176,263. The median wealth of an Israeli citizen stood at only $54,384—about a third of the average wealth.

“The Gini Index, which measures income inequality in countries, measured Israel at 77.2%. The index is measured on a scale of 0-100, with 0 representing perfect equality and 100 representing perfect inequality.”

My Comment: This is true and there is a vacuum in the middle. This is a global trend, which will continue until the world transitions to fascism or communism.

Question: What will happen to the Israeli millionaires or billionaires then?

Answer: They will immigrate to other countries and live there. Only the poor and the idealists will remain here. But I don’t know how long they will be able to exist here if we don’t pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and establish the correct Kabbalistic society in which everyone lives thanks to the force of goodness that dwells among us. If this doesn’t happen, the whole world will advance toward a terrible world war.

Question: Do you call the new society “Israel.”

Answer: I call it “Israel” because of the yearning of Jews to unite according to their natural Kabbalistic method, which is the only way they can become a nation. The role of this nation is to show the whole world how to unite, something that humanity lacks.

Question: Are you sure that only such people will remain in Israel?

Answer: Yes, I am sure. Only Kabbalists will remain in Israel and will fight to the end because it is actually in this state that the point of connection between our world and the upper world is. All the others will escape if we don’t manage to establish the spiritual basis in time, the spiritual basis that will draw Jews and non-Jews, most importantly those who have the point in the heart and understand that this is the future of humanity.

Torah, Deuteronomy 12:31: You shall not do so to the Lord, your God; for every abomination to the Lord which He hates, they did to their gods, for also their sons and their daughters they would burn in fire to their gods.

In the process of correction, egoism loses everything and dies in the end. After all, the sons and daughters are future properties, future actions of man, future states, and we must make sure they will be alive and that he will not burn or kill them.

In other words, our desires must go through correction and then move forward in the correct way. Otherwise, it is like you kill your children, burn them, and give them to your gods, meaning to your egoism.

New Life #335 – Conflict Resolution In The Workplace, Part 1
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

Summary

What causes anger and conflicts in the workplace, what is the right way to resolve these situations, and what techniques help us build relationships of connection and cooperation between us?

Case: Employees are required to perform a task beneath their level due to the absence of another employee.

• Everyone could sit together with the boss in a circle and talk about the situation and find the solution together.
• The wisdom of connection can develop the feeling of acting together, in support and mutual responsibility.
• The connection between people means that they feel a mutual responsibility for everything that happens at the workplace.
• We live to feel good, joy, and happiness. Arguments and stress damage our health.
• We should try to build a society where the feeling of thoughtfulness, concern, and connection exist between everyone.
• Don’t relate to conflicts that exist in the organization, but raise people to a higher level.
• All problems, ultimately come from the ego, arrogance and control. Thus connection solves everything.
• Do not talk about problems, but about relationships that aren’t connected to work, like partners and family.
• The aim is to soften the tension, to get everyone to agree to a shared feeling of warmth.

Question: Since the dawn of history, humanity has laid ideological, economic, and political conflicts in many varieties and colors.

How can the masses of people relate to each other positively, above the conflict of religions, economies, historical revenge, rejection, and hatred?

Answer: All of the negative baggage from the past of humanity means nothing. What does it matter what we were and how we related to each other? After all, these came from Above! Neither I nor you are “guilty.” Nature caused us to collide like this! Could we have escaped from this? What was, was, and everything that directed us toward this was from Above.

There is no room for self-flagellation! We were moved through these states so that we would feel and recognize evil! The Creator is the one who created evil, “I created the evil inclination” (Kiddushin 30b)! So now our task is to balance this evil with the good force!

So it is not necessary to dwell on the past. It was good that the past was revealed as negative, for that is specifically what pushed us to discover the positive force.

Question: Is there a translation of the language of Kabbalah to Russian?

Answer: Yes. There are a variety of texts on our Kabbalah website, translated word for word, and also dictionaries in Russian and Hebrew. Interestingly, the Kabbalistic literature is mainly in Russian. I believe that the major force of people who truly aspire for and focus on the upper goal, on the upper world, are Russian speakers.

Question: Is it possible to break through to the spiritual feeling by using Russian?

Answer: Not through Russian, but when studying the wisdom of Kabbalah, even in Russian it is possible.

Question: Did Baal HaSulam know Russian?

Answer: He didn’t write in Russian, but he did know and understand it.

Question: You once said that there are many ways to the Creator. What does that mean?

Answer: It says in the Torah that there are twelve tribes and that each tribe has its own way of getting closer to others.

Every person, man or woman, has his own way of getting closer to others.

A person is a small world, which, in fact, includes everything that exists in the world. This is why we have to value every attribute a person has, to keep them, not cut them off, not kill them, not force them to be given up, but only to look for a way of using every attribute a person has correctly.
