We essentially allowed Logan’s generation to pick up their examples, role models and values from a media culture that’s extremely saturated with violence, and now we are letting them be the role models for today’s kids.

Jesse Bogner: wisdom from Dr. Michael @laitman. words to live by. sadly, most people aren’t smart enough to balance contradictory ideas and forces.
If Kabbalists simply tried to erase those disturbances as ordinary people do, they would remain in “faith below reason.” But they gain knowledge against the faith, and build the faith over the contradictions, over the desires of the body. That is why they can understand things that are beyond our conception.
In other words, the spiritual world opens before them, because they acquire the screen with “faith above reason.”

Question: If everything is planned in advance by the Creator, then what is considered a mistake on the spiritual path and in the study of Kabbalah?
Answer: A person still has freedom of choice, freedom of will. In any case, we will still come to our final point because this point was initially ordered for us, but not the path to it. By determining one’s path, a person simultaneously defines the paths of the other souls that depend on him since we exist in an integral system.
Therefore, to the extent that he behaves incorrectly, he negatively influences the fate of other people. Naturally, this returns back to him with many times heavier, negative additions.
Although on one hand everything is predetermined, on the other hand, everything depends on a person—every particular moment in time. If he were aware of this, he would not know what to do. Therefore, this is hidden from him.
Remark: Some movies show how a person suddenly begins to understand that his every action affects others and he immediately “freezes.”
My Comment: But even freezing would not help because to the extent that he freezes, he does not act and naturally this also influences everyone.

Question: Why doesn’t Bnei Baruch say anything about integral education anymore? In the past, they talked about this a lot; studied it, taught it to others, and now, not a word.
Answer: We study various states in the formation of a spiritual person, in one’s resemblance to the Creator. If something in particular interests you, then I suggest that you turn to our courses, both physical and virtual. You can find everything on the Internet.

Torah, Deuteronomy 34:09: Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, because Moses had laid his hands upon him. And the children of Israel obeyed him, and they did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Joshua is the next step, inferior to Moses. But since it is lower and slightly immersed in egoism, Joshua can lead the people further and higher, can conquer the egoistic desires, and can transform them into bestowal. This is the meaning of the “work in the land of Israel.”
Moses cannot do this. Therefore, he transfers his duties to Joshua.
Torah, Deuteronomy 34:10 – 34:12: And there was no other prophet who arose in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, as manifested by all the signs and wonders, which the Lord had sent him to perform in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and all his servants, and to all his land, and all the strong hand, and all the great awe, which Moses performed before the eyes of all Israel.
The property of Keter (the Creator) and the property of GAR de Bina (Moses) are the same properties of absolute bestowal. This is why it is written that they were “face to face.”
