Question: Could it be that the feeling of spiritual pleasure is revealed to a person even before he enters the upper world, as he just begins the spiritual path?

Answer: I cannot say who and how, but a person is given a feeling of spiritual pleasure for a short while. He feels it as something that develops around him in the space that surrounds him. This is called the illumination of the Creator, (the illumination of the Shechina).

Question: What are the major milestones on the way to spiritual attainment?

Answer: Milestones to spiritual attainment are the study material, the incorporation in the group, a long period of preparation, then a period of Lo Lishma (not for Her Name), and then a period of Lishma (for Her Name).

Question: Why are we given spiritual pleasure? How can we taste spiritual pleasure and use it?

Answer: The taste of spiritual pleasure is given to a person who can use it with the intention of in order to bestow.

Question: How can we understand the expression of keeping all the goodness inside me and not losing it?

Answer: You can keep all the goodness inside you when you don’t think about it but about others and how to connect with them and convey the upper Light to them through you.

Question: How can we measure spiritual attainment and not distort it with our egoism?

Answer: Spiritual attainment is measured by the magnitude of the egoism above which it is attained, and it is impossible to distort it because if it is spiritual attainment, it is accurately dressed in the attribute of love and bestowal, which the person has developed.

Question: How do I know which flaws in me I should correct?

Answer: You don’t need to correct anything in yourself.

The only thing you should do is to establish the right relations with your friends in the Kabbalistic group: to establish between you what we call a tenth in which you will attain the upper world and the Creator. This is the most important thing, and everything else will work out by itself.

New Life 818 – Are We Guarded From Above?
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Where is the system called nature, in which we live, leading us, and why aren’t we aware of its effect on us? Where is our free choice in all of this?

We are in a supreme system that binds us in every way without any free choice.

The Torah, Deuteronomy 21:18 – 21:21: If a man has a wayward and rebellious son, who does not obey his father or his mother, and they chasten him, and [he still] does not listen to them, his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place.

And they shall say to the elders of his city, “This son of ours is wayward and rebellious; he does not obey us; [he is] a glutton and a guzzler.”

And all the men of his city shall pelt him to death with stones, and he shall die. So shall you clear out the evil from among you, and all Israel will listen and fear.

This excerpt is about a person’s frenzied desire with the help of which he wants to attain the Creator. It is as violent and rebellious as a horse that stomps, balks, and throws off the rider.

If a father and a mother, which are the male and the female parts, give birth to a son that does not obey them and he is obliged to join them and to receive the upper Light through them to continue the path and give birth himself—then they have to bring him to the elders, to those who are above them, to the next step.

Suppose the father and the mother are Aba ve Ima, Hochma, and Bina, and ZON, which is under them. Then they have to raise the desire generated by them even higher—to where are four kinds of death: stoning, strangulation, burning, and hanging. In such a way, this desire is killed, which means that it descends to the level of the inanimate, and then its development begins again.

The stone is Lev HaEven, the stony heart. Therefore, one desire is killed by another great desire, which does not give it the opportunity to acquire the slightest bit of life.

Question: Where does the root of the differentiation into men and women in the physical world begin according to the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: In the physical world, everything is divided into plus and minus, into the attribute of the created being and the attribute of the Creator, the attribute of the desire and the attribute of the Masach (screen), into Reshimo of Aviut ( the informational genes of the desire) and Reshimo of Hitlabshut (the informational genes of the Light).

Everything is accurately made of a male and a female part because creation is divided into the Creator (the male part) and the creation that He created (the female part).

Question: I don’t understand what I need to give, even if I wanted to give. What is giving?

Answer: To give, you must discover exactly what the other wants and act so that he will receive what he wants from you. That will be giving, bestowing.

Question: Is it possible to gather a group? Where is it possible to find the “right” friends?

Answer: You don’t need to do anything in particular. People are chosen in a completely random manner. But please note: everything that you do comes from above. A person has no independent action.

Question: Is it possible to examine how we connect into a group of ten?

Answer: No, before the Creator is revealed between you, there is no connection, so there is nothing to measure.

Question: There are times when there is no eagerness to watch the lessons, they are only for communication and connection. Is this normal?

Answer: Very good! This is not terrible. Connect, do a workshop.

Question: We have 11 people in the group. Is it preferable that men and women do workshops separately or together?

Answer: It is necessary to do them separately, without any connection to the number of people.

Men and women should not be together, except during meals, and even this depends on the type of meal. If this is a family meal, then it is possible, but if this is a meal with Kabbalistic content, then it should also be done separately. The men should not feel the presence of women.

Question: What can the feeling of attainment be compared with?

Answer: It is possible to compare it to being freed from all internal and external limitations, when you feel that everything is managed by the collective power of the Light, which is called the Creator, and you just swim in it. After that, this feeling disappears. Nothing is left until the full completion of correction.

Question: Could it be that in the future I will have several groups of ten: a group of ten in the lessons, a group of ten at work, a group of ten in the family?

Answer: Certainly, there is no problem with that. But it is first necessary to begin with ten people with whom you have a common goal, and then you go on.
