New Life #36 – Integration Between Couples

New Life #36 – Integration Between Couples
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

To build a connection between couples requires the ability to feel the other side. How is it possible to develop this ability, and how can one relate to a partner who uncooperative? By learning to develop the ability to feel the partner and their desires. I want to rise above my desires and begin to absorb what the partner wants. I build my partner’s image in me. My partner mirrors my flaws back to me so that I can transcend my egoistic nature. The goal is to connect above our differences.

#SpiritualWork_ML
Our only wish is to feel the Creator’s greatness. We look for ways to elevate His greatness. Means of raising the Creator’s greatness, an urge for this:
The good path, Achishena—through the group;
The evil path, Beito—through fears, separation from the Creator.

The Creator’s greatness is revealed relative to creation’s lowliness.

It’s 2 types of work. But Kabbalists advise not to focus on evil; to aim our work at attaining the Creator’s greatness, though along the way we’ll have to plunge into the dark to reveal the light’s advantage from it

#Spirituality: attaining equivalence with the Creator,
Replace egoistic intentions “for myself” with intentions “for others, the Creator.”
Correction is equivalence of form with the Creator. From receiving actions to receiving actions with bestowal intentions, the intention changes.

What Does The Creator Look Like?

laitman_250Question: Have any of the great Kabbalists ever seen the Creator with their own inner vision? What does He look like? Maybe this is silly, but I desperately want to somehow imagine Him. If a drop of water is the reduced analog of an ocean, then there must be a visible analog of the personality of the Creator.

Answer: First, the Creator has no personality. Secondly, when we, without understanding, imagine something, we cannot “point” something to the Creator. The Creator is nothing other than the quality of connection, bestowal, and love. It is something non-objective, without any volume or image. It is a quality we can identify in a person who possesses it.

In other words, if there is the quality of bestowal in whatever measure, strength, or power in you, then it can be said that the Creator is embodied in you and in this part He exists within you.

Question: Can a person see that the Creator is embodied in him?

Answer: No, seeing it is impossible. Only when an individual attains the quality of bestowal and love, can he, from within himself, sense with his inner vision how much the Creator exists in him, and even measure it.

The fact is that the wisdom of Kabbalah enables the measurement of qualities, sensations, strengths of desires, screens, the distance from and closeness to the force of love or the force of rejection, and so forth. Ultimately, they all give us the picture of similarity of form or movement toward unity with the Creator. A person can sense how close or how far from understanding the “Creator.”

Question: Can it be said that there is the Creator and there are His qualities?

Answer: No. When we say “Creator” we mean qualities. On the material level we also see only qualities, it only seems to us that these are objects. In fact, these are all forces.

Everything is composed of two forces: the force of reception and the force of bestowal. Their interactions create all manner of forms for us.

Does The Soul Remember Its Past Lives?

laitman_561Question: Why doesn’t the soul remember the experiences of its past earthly lives?

Answer: The soul remembers everything perfectly well because its current state is determined by its previous states that it has already passed through.

Everything is absolutely deterministic. There is nothing that happens by chance.
