New Life 476 – The Whole Truth About The Wisdom Of Kabbalah
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us how to establish harmonious and balanced relationships by revealing the unified, general force of nature between us. It explains how to ascend to a higher level by developing our minds and emotions on the level of the next world. Kabbalah books are encoded and a teacher is required in order to fully understand them.

Question: What is envy, and how can you use it for spiritual advancement?

Answer: Envy is a very good quality, as is shame. However, shame seems to slow you down, stop you, make you hide and shrink, but envy, on the contrary, expands you and pushes you forward, and therefore, we must use it.

However, the most important thing is envy between the friends. When I sit in class, I look at each one and envy them endlessly. I do not hate them, but I envy them. We need to control ourselves here because dislike appears along with envy.

I am grateful for the fact that my friend demonstrates to me what he can do, what he knows, the way he feels, and so on. A white envy grows in me toward his aspirations, and it pushes me forward. Therefore, envy is a very good quality.

Question: Is it possible to see examples of real spiritual love in order to understand the practice?

Answer: You will not be able to understand this, as a dog cannot feel the love between two people because their love is on a different level.

Spiritual love is the relationship between the pluses and minuses in two people when they do not destroy the qualities opposite to them, but use each other as a lever.

As Archimedes said: “Give me a place to stand and with a lever I will move the world.” We too need a negative lever in order to rise to the upper world.

In the society of the last generation there will be no entrepreneurs and none who fall behind because each will fill his own niche in the collective soul and it will be clear to the society that without the participation of each, it is not whole. Each person will be equally valued because this is an integral system. That’s why in the society of the last generation there are no oppressed and no oppressors, no winners and no losers.

Question: Then why did nature divide people into different classes?

Answer: In order for them to work on themselves.

Question: If in the society of the last generation someone comes up with a brilliant idea, will he be able to actualize it?

Answer: If you exist within an integral system, then you, being in your correct placement within the system, will not be able to suddenly come up with some brilliant idea that you are not able to actualize. You will not need to go anywhere or prove anything.

That which arises within you is needed for the equilibrium of the system specifically from the place that you occupy. But, because right now we are not yet in this system, the individual needs to somewhere, somehow force his ideas forward.

Question: But doesn’t this also arise precisely because the system is affecting me? Isn’t it just that right now I don’t feel its effect, but in the society of the future I will and will be grateful to this system for whatever is happening? Will there be gratitude?

Answer: Absolutely. To the point of complete happiness.

New Life #384 – Overcoming Difficulties In Our Lives
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Summary

Overcoming difficulties in our lives requires that we are part of an environment that encourages us to work together. We need to be educated to raise the importance of others in our own eyes so that we will see things from their point of view. All difficulties come from the Creator to advance us toward this goal. Children would also benefit from schools that demonstrated this same type of environment.

Question: Recently I felt terrible shame that I am still an animal body. What can I do about it?

Answer: Nothing! This is not your concern; you did not create it. Do what is required of you.

You just must rise in your intention to be associated with the Creator all the time through the group, through the friends. After all, an individual aspiration to the Creator is absolutely egoistic and will not yield any good results.

Check your connection with other friends well. Try to find an opportunity to improve these connections. You cannot imagine how this will advance you toward the truth, the understanding of what is really happening in the connection with the Creator, because connection with the group is connection with the Creator.

Now, you do not think so at all, but then you will see that this is so. If you look at a friend and see your own properties with respect to the Creator, this will be the correct spiritual direction.
