Question: They say that happiness is in forgiveness. What is forgiveness in Kabbalah? Do we need to forgive and if so, in what situations?

Answer: There is no forgiveness in Kabbalah. If you understand that something bad has happened but you forgive everything, then you postpone the resolution of the conflict, covering it up as if it does not exist.

Thus, you make our state even more critical. Therefore, forgiveness fails to resolve conflict. Next time it will “jump out” with even more force. Conflict is resolved only in the middle line.

Question from Facebook: I have heard a lot of different advice on how to become successful. What is your advice as a Kabbalist on how to become successful?

Answer: First, imagine that you are successful and you do not need to become anyone.

Second, success is either short-lived or perfect and eternal, and then it is success in connection with the Creator, in the ascent above our world. If you wish this kind of success, the method of Kabbalah is at your service.

On the way to its realization, you will understand that the very movement forward is considered success.

New Life 32 – New Kind Of Relationships
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Your partner is not your enemy! The human ego is the common enemy you both must learn to fight together! Couples need other couples to provide good examples of how to rise above the ego and accept one another. Rather than expecting appreciation from my partner, I can upgrade my ego and overcome the lack that erupts between us with the power of love.

Question: What does it mean that Kabbalah is revealed in the world if the main Kabbalistic book, Moses’ Pentateuch has been published in billions of copies?

Answer: And how is the Torah (The Bible) revealed? Its essence remains concealed.

This book was written 3,000 years ago. Its appearance is an extraordinary event. How it is written, its language, is wondrous!

However, the fact is that no one understands the true essence of the Torah, and this true essence must be revealed.

After the Torah, there are Prophets (Neviim) and Scriptures (Ktuvim). These are all great books, but they are written in a language that needs to be deciphered.

Question: How do I find out what I need to do to fulfill my mission? Why is it difficult to figure it out?

Answer: I only need to work in my small group, inside a huge number of our groups, and always think about how we help each other become a single system. In our ten, we gradually gain the feeling of bestowal and reciprocity called “the Creator.”

In this feeling, which I sense existing in the ten, I will begin to see myself as being in the upper world. This is what we need to achieve.

Question: What does a Kabbalist think about all day?

Answer: How to bring the Creator into your world. After all, nothing else exists in the universe. The upper worlds are a system of mutual understanding between a person and the Creator.

The Creator is the quality of bestowal, and I need to think about how to enter into this quality and see that the world is in total connection. This is quite complicated.

I, like a small child, want to see the world as good and perfect. I want to see in it the Creator’s power, which binds everything together and creates all kinds of events in it.

New Life 31 – Love Above Egoism
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

What change does a person have to undergo in order to have a happy relationship and why is the right relationship the key to success in every other aspect of life?

A relationship is like a lab for a good life. A family is a small home lab for correcting a person’s attitude to others. As such, a person gains in life’s every aspect. This method can then be spread to other social relationships and the entire world.
