Question: You say that Kabbalah studies the laws of nature. Does this mean that we look at nature and mimic it?

Answer: This is not the nature that we study as natural sciences like botany, zoology, etc.

Kabbalists investigate the relationship between all parts of nature, ours and that which is hidden from us, in its absolutely complete integral state. This is the subject of the study of Kabbalah.

The main thing is that we include in ourselves, our abilities to attain. And afterward, we begin to see that only as we improve our organs of perception, when we make them also infinite and perfect, it becomes possible to feel and understand nature and the Creator.

Spiritual laws are revealed in us to the extent that we can be in the quality of bestowal and love, in the quality above our own egotistic nature because we have developed the corresponding sensory organs.

Question: And before that, we can only hear that they exist?

Answer: We can read about this, but we do not understand what we are reading about.

Question: Do we have to believe in the existence of such laws?

Answer: There is no need to believe in anything. We must open our senses, raise them to the level of the quality of bestowal. Then, we will be able to explore the higher nature.

Nature is divided into two parts. One of them, the lowest or selfish nature of our world, works on the property of receiving. In this part we can comprehend all the laws of the still, vegetative, animate, and human nature functioning at the level of the material world.

But, in addition, there is the nature of the next, upper world, which works inversely like a mirror image, to bestow, not to receive.

Comment: It is unfortunate that the science of Kabbalah cannot explain to us the laws of the upper world. There are over two hundred physical laws of the corporeal world that are revealed and beautifully described.

My Response: These laws are described because a person has revealed them, being in the same qualities. That is the only reason he came to perceive and attain them. If a person lacks spiritual qualities, he cannot do anything but listen to what the Kabbalists tell him.

For example, if I have a cat, a dog, a goat or a cow at home, can I possibly explain to them the laws of physics? I cannot. In order to do that, they have to rise to the level of a human and develop certain qualities that in turn would allow them to feel and reveal these laws of nature.

Two thousand years ago we didn’t know what we know today because our egoism is constantly developing, which allows us to reveal new dependencies in it.

Comment: But the goat or cow are not required to know the laws of the material world. We, the Kabbalists, write that we must know the laws of the upper world.

My Response: We have to know because this helps us ascend to the level of being able to influence our fate.

Question: Then why don’t we have any predisposing factors to it?

Answer: Because it is precisely through attaining your true self and tuning in to perceive the spiritual laws that you develop these factors in just the right way. If you were just to receive them, you would be called an “angel,” meaning, would exist in them from the start, but then you’d be like a goat or a cow.

New Life 870 – How The Method Of Correction Works
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

How can we correct the system of connections between people, what is the method of connection between us, and what is the role of the person in attracting the power of goodness into his life? Throughout history we have developed according to the forces of nature. We have reached a time in which we need to investigate the forces that operate us.

Question: How exactly do the souls transform after death? How does the Creator “arrange” exactly where the soul will reincarnate?

Why is a particular person born in a wealthy family, completely healthy and with a pleasant external appearance, who can be loved by everyone and provide an example, while another person is forced to go through physical and psychological suffering in unsuccessful families?

Why does someone have dazzling success in a career when he is twenty and another is forced to contend with depression, rejection, racism, and humiliation only after many years to reach a goal that he set for himself?

Answer: We don’t understand these states and the situations before and after death because we don’t feel this world correctly. We learn about this in the topic of the perception of reality.

Question: How is it possible to differentiate the psychological impressions in a convention from spiritual impressions? Is this possible?

Answer: I don’t think it is possible to differentiate this now. But eventually this will be possible.

Psychological impressions are what happen in my natural Kelim (vessels), in my egoism. And what is needed for spiritual impressions is the acquisition of a new Kli (vessel).

Question: You say that Elokim (God) in Gematria (numerology) = HaTeva (Nature). Why is that?

Answer: Elokim and nature are the same thing. All of nature in our world and in the upper world and everything that exists in creation, including us, is called “Elokim,” nature, the Creator.

Therefore, studying nature or studying the Creator is the same thing. It is not necessary to think about the Creator as something limited; it is a force that includes everything within it.

Question: I am studying the wisdom of Kabbalah in the fundamentals course. Which book should I read first?

Answer: The wisdom of Kabbalah was revealed and developed in two directions, one is the intellect and the second is in feeling.

A person is a sensory creature because the desire for fulfillment, for enjoyment is the foundation his being. But when this desire begins to feel that it wants more, wants less, receives less, receives more, and so forth, then the intellect develops within it with the function to think about how to reach the best fulfillment. It follows that there are feelings and there is the intellect, but the feelings are primary and the intellect is secondary.

Studying the wisdom of Kabbalah happens the same way, in two parallel ways: emotional and intellectual. The books that correspond to the emotional way are Shamati and Attaining the Worlds Beyond. And for the intellectual way there is Kabbalah for Beginners.

I believe that it is necessary to try both of them. Read the book that is closest to you.
