Group Or Individual?

laitman_947Question: What will the future education system look like in terms of “constructing personality”? How will the results of education be assessed?

Answer: The system has to be developed. We have to implement training in groups, and a person should be judged by how much he coordinates, merges, and unites with the group.

Question: What will be considered important at the end of the training: individual or group achievement?

Answer: Individual achievements are not taken into account at all, only teamwork. A person should not pay attention to individual differences or achievements. Group achievement is the maximum unification between all in one desire and one mind that people will clearly feel.

Life already gives us pragmatic tasks that we should solve from an integral state.

A Noble Cause

laitman_588.03Question: How do you benefit from passing on knowledge? Don’t you think it is an ignoble thing to teach others?

Answer: Teaching others is a very ungrateful thing. But I do not think it is ignoble.

It is very noble because by this I bring people closer to their soul. The soul is not in the person. It is a property of bestowal and love that is around us, and we have to attain it. I guide people to such attainment, trying to get them into their soul.

Answers To Your Questions, Part 216

Laitman_066.03Question: Are jokes slander? What do Kabbalists laugh about?

Answer: Kabbalists never laugh at people because that is how they were created by the Creator. They laugh at unexpected connections of various phenomena that lead to the joy of discovery.

Question: How can a person get out from the intense and stressful power of the group while using the training of the practical wisdom of the Kabbalah? A person who is involved with external people attracts the Light to them but does not ascend himself! How can he leave the trap of this Klipa (shell)? After all, the greater the person is, the stronger the influence of Tuma’a (impurity) on him is. There is a very great lack in this concept. 

Answer: You are confused because you have been studying from the wrong sources. Follow our lessons in groups of ten and everything will become clear to you.

New Life #288 – The Global Employment Crisis

New Life #288 – The Global Employment Crisis
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Summary

The number of unemployed is increasing all over the world as robots replace people.  Nature is being destroyed as jobs are being unnecessarily and artificially created. The youth feel they deserve everything and also don’t want to work as unskilled laborers. Since the nation will be able to provide for people’s existential needs, only a small percentage of the population will actually work in the future. The question therefore arises: How do we make people happy?

Israel Is 70 Years Old. This Is Going To Be A Special Congress!


In the past 20 years we have had hundreds of congresses and each was unique. But this one is going to be very special. It is dedicated to honor the 70th anniversary of the State of Israel.

Israel is not just a country. It is a nation of people. It is one heart in which there is place for everyone.

Our congress is for everyone. Everything in it is about unity. When hatred toward Israel is growing, people from all over the entire world are coming here. And they are coming here to support us.

Here the unity of the nation of Israel is forged.

Come and experience it!

Psalm_90 O LORD, You were our temple from generation to generation. You created the universe, from eon to eon You are GOD! You bring man to pieces & say “Return to Me, sons of men!” Pity your servants! Let the favor of the LORD our GOD be upon us. Confirm the work of our hands.

Psalm_89 I will sing His kindness forever. Fairness & law – His foundation, mercy and truth before You. Blessed is the people knowing how to trump. In the light of Your face they walk. How long will You stay hidden? Where are Your former mercies, O LORD? Blessed the LORD forever.

#Psalm_88 Day & night I cry to You. My soul is sick with misfortunes, life reached the pit. I’m among descending to the grave. You removed my friends. Why do You reject my soul, hide Your face? Your terrors surround me. You removed my friends from me, my acquaintances – darkness.

How To Rise Above Time

laitman_744Question: How can I rise above time?

Answer: In order to rise above time, you need to tell yourself that you do not have a next moment—everything is in this instant. You should live this way; there is only one instant. In each moment, you do not transfer yourself into the next one, but at this instant, you start and finish as if life is really ending.

Then you suddenly feel that this same moment begins to expand and there are an enormous amount of actions, thoughts, and deeds in it, but time disappears.

After all, time does not exist; it is our subjective feeling.

Question: What, then, is the future?

Answer: The future is completely unrelated to time. The future is what happens after the action I now perform. It is a different dimension in which the axis of time is nonexistent. After all, the axis of time assumes that regardless of whether or not I exist, whether or not I do something, time passes independently of me.

The wisdom of Kabbalah, however, says that this is not the case. It states that you must give up such an attitude to life and decide that only you create your own states. If you do not create them, then time does not move, nothing passes by itself from one moment to the next. If you did something in this instant, it is then called “a moment,” and each subsequent moment carries out in this manner.

We live in the world which, according to Kabbalah, is considered illusory and imaginary. The main lie we live in is that we exist in time.

Therefore, Einstein indeed made a revolution by declaring time a subjective concept, with nothing absolute about it that would happen with or without a person.

Time is a person’s inner sensation. If we rise above our egoism, then there is no time.

For Those Who Pray

232.1Question from Facebook: According to you there is no God. If God doesn’t exist, to whom and for what do people pray?

Answer: A god that we can imagine and depict to ourselves does not exist. God is the force of bestowal and love that exists around us, but we don’t feel. We need to discover it within us to the degree that we become equal with its characteristics, then God will exist for us.

Question: What is prayer for you?

Answer: Prayer is a request to the Creator that He correct you and make you similar to Himself, i.e., bestowing and loving.
