Question: You have been studying the meaning of life your whole life. But isn’t the meaning of life unique for everyone?

Answer: That is correct. We are absolutely different from each other and we all have our own meaning of life. But in order to find it, there is a system called Kabbalah, which places a tool in our hands for how to attain our meaning of life.

Everyone has his own soul, the root of his soul, his destiny, his way to the goal, which is to discover the meaning of life, and therefore, everyone has his own path. But still, it is necessary to know how to go so as not to stall at a dead end, not to disappear somewhere, not to deviate by one degree, which later turns into a big deviation.

In order to correctly achieve the goal, you need certain guides, skills, a cane to walk with, direction, an azimuth , a map; all that is necessary for the traveller. This is with what Kabbalah supplies us.

Question: If the wisdom of Kabbalah does not deal with psychology, then explain exactly what are its intentions and on what level do they invite the upper Light? I ask because in many cases it is very easy to confuse the wisdom of Kabbalah with psychology.

Answer: There must be a group, a teacher, and books, meaning study according to the Kabbalistic texts.

Question: Can I study the wisdom of Kabbalah while studying Reiki?

Answer: In order to achieve results, I recommend learning one thing.

Question: Does a Kabbalist have a feeling of resentment? What do you get offended by?

Answer: I do not get offended, but rather get irritated. And I get irritated only by one thing: if there is freewill in a person and he does not realize it. He has received direction and support and he does not apply efforts to implement them.

And there is nothing to be offended by with ordinary people. Who are they? Fully managed creatures. Take offense at the Creator.

There is nothing to take offense at the Creator. He is the Absolute for you. If He does not do something, it means that you do not implement something.

Question: If a person does not take offense at anything, does it mean that he is happy?

Answer: I am happy. It cannot be said that I do not take offense at all because a Kabbalist is also human. He suddenly falls and rises, suddenly disconnects from the Creator and his spiritual state and somehow reacts differently to everything, and then again returns to his previous state.

We are given such metamorphosis. But they are all necessary to emphasize that we work with the Absolute.

The Torah, Numbers 12:09 – 12:15: The wrath of the Lord flared against them and He left. The cloud departed from above the Tent, and behold, Miriam was afflicted with tzara’ath, [as white] as snow. Then Aaron turned to Miriam and behold, she was afflicted with tzara’ath.

Aaron said to Moses, “Please, master, do not put sin upon us for acting foolishly and for sinning. Let her not be like the dead, which comes out of his mother’s womb with half his flesh consumed!”

Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “I beseech you, God, please heal her.” The Lord replied to Moses, “If her father were to spit in her face, would she not be humiliated for seven days? She shall be confined for seven days outside the camp, and afterwards she may enter. So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not travel until Miriam had entered.

This is a very serious correction. First the revelation of egoism occurs, then its correction, which is a period of suffering, and then movement forward.

Suffering is not punishment. In the Torah, punishment is correction.

Remark: But leprosy is a terrible correction.

My Comment: Naturally. Lesions appear on a person’s skin because the skin symbolizes the most external egoistic stage. It is affected the most.

The skin is the largest organ of the body. Just like the liver, kidneys, and so on, the skin is an organ. It breathes, works, and processes everything. The exchange of gas with atmosphere and exchange of heat happens through it, and it feels everything.

We do not understand what it is. In our time, it is fashionable to get all sorts of tattoos on the skin, but they disrupt the entire work of the body.

Question: What does leprosy on the skin mean?

Answer: Leprosy on the skin is the revelation of the very last stage of egoism. In other words, this is a cleansing because all of it was inside and now it is manifesting from the outside. The only way to cure it is by the Light of the Creator.

New Life #201 – First Date
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

The purpose of a first date is to determine if the person can be in a deep and proper relationship with you. Do not focus on external appearances or rush into sex. Rather, learn about the person’s environment, experiences in school and work, and relationships with family. Is there a flow, mutual understanding, and a similar view of life? Can you fit together like two puzzle pieces?

Remark: The great physician and Kabbalist Rambam wrote: “Taking care of one’s health is a component on the path to the Creator, for it is difficult to understand and attain while being sick. Therefore a person should distance himself from everything that is harmful to the body, and accustom himself to what is healthy, to rebuild his well-being.”

My Comment: Rambam’s words can be interpreted on the spiritual level, as well as on the physical one, either of them is correct.

Everything written by him comes from spiritual attainment, so he was a great healer. His medical tractates and drawings still remain; they show how to trepan the skull, the brain, and how to treat such areas of our body that we still know very little about today. You can gain a great deal from his writings. I would advise doctors to learn from them.

Question: Would it be possible for a person to understand anything in Rambam’s books without instruction, without a teacher? He writes about spiritual states.

Answer: Relatively, yes. An ancient book survived to this day, called Rambam’s Recipes. But who would use it? It is written there that you should take, let’s say, some kind of a tree, mix it with something else, use it in a certain way, etc. In our day and age, there are amateurs that are engaged with this, but generally people prefer to take a pill and be done with it. No one will search for various roots, branches, or minerals.

Question: Is it true that during a meal a person should engage all his five senses? So there should be music and aromas?

Answer: This is how it was done in the past. A regular meal was conducted with music, scents, while assuming the correct position, leaning to your left, etc. All this is supported by our physiology.

Rambam wrote: “Every time a person eats, he should sit or lay leaning on his left. One should not walk or ride a horse, work, or make sharp movements, nor stroll until the food is digested.”

Remark: It is hard to imagine eating this way.

My Comment: Indeed, today we grab a hamburger on the street, inhaling some exhaust fumes with it, or drink a bottle of soda that contains 20 teaspoons of sugar per 200 grams of water, and this is considered normal.
