Virtual Kabbalah Convention: “Many Sparks Of Sanctity”

Dr. Michael LaitmanFrom My Facebook Page Michael Laitman 10/22/18

“You should know that there are many sparks of sanctity in each of the friends. When you collect all the sparks of sanctity into one place, as brothers, with love and friendship, you will certainly have a very high level of sanctity from the Light of Life, for the time being.” Kabbalist Yehuda Ashlag

Faith, Fear, And Adhesion With The Creator

laitman_276.02Rabash, “Love of Friends – 2”: Yet, to acquire faith, fear must come first, as it is related in the introduction to The Zohar: “Fear is a commandment that contains all the commandments in the Torah, since it is the gate to faith in Him. According to the awakening of one’s fear (in His guidance), so one believes in His guidance.”

It ends there: “The fear is lest he will lessen the giving of contentment to his Maker.” This means that the fear that one should have with regard to the Creator is that perhaps he will not be able to give contentment to the Creator, and not that fear will concern one’s own benefit. It follows that the gate to faith is fear; it is impossible to reach faith by any other way.

Question: It is unclear: how do we reach fear without faith? Yet at the same time, it turns out that faith cannot be achieved without fear? We have a vicious circle.

Answer: This is a vicious cycle. Both faith and fear are forces that exist above us and represent changes in the internal parameters of our system.

Therefore, reading Rabash, we can only agree that probably this is the way it should be. We then study the description of the actions we must perform. Through such actions we attract the influence of the upper force, the so-called “Light that returns us to the source,” upon ourselves. It changes us and creates the quality of faith, the quality of love in us.

Comment: Nevertheless, by the end of the article, Rabash logically sets out what should be first, in the middle, and at the end.

My Comment: Everything is arranged by itself, even if you do not know it. The point is not to know, to do, and to receive. In the spiritual world, you have to perform certain actions that attract the upper Light and it gradually makes such changes in you that are called faith, fear, and adhesion with the Creator.

New Life #88 – The Healing Power of the Mind, Part 1
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

People can invoke an enormous healing force through the power of the mind. More specifically, we attain mental health when we manage our desires with the power of thought and achieve balance between the two. This can only occurin a supportive environment that will protect each person from confusion and harmful competition. Africans, for example, are generally happy because their society doesn’t pressure them to achieve more and more. Let’s imagine that we are all connected together and that the whole world is peaceful and, in this way, build the healing power of the mind through the group.
