My Thoughts On Twitter 1/17/19

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

The last few days I am getting inquiries why my Twitter is empty… In past tweets, I described a variety of states that precede entry into spiritual sensations. Have you gone through, understood, attained them? View my past tweets (about spiritual states) ….
—you will discover them again.

If I don’t demand the friends’ help against my ego, I won’t plug into the group. But even after having plugged into the friends, I’ll lose the desire to unite once more, after which, while with them, I will be drawn into the group again. Such states are indicative of advancement,
… as in “Joseph & his brothers.”

The Creator always guides to Himself. A person should rejoice in the Creator’s governance, even in falls. Trust that they are from the Creator as well, to become closer to Him. Therefore, rise from the falls, believing that such is the Creator’s desire.
This will reveal rapprochement with the Creator, coming from the Creator.

In nature, there’s both plus and minus; it contains all the opposites. And they’re always kept in balance by nature, which doesn’t allow them to annihilate each other, but creates a system of interaction between them—the middle line. It manifests itself from above;
… we build it by studying #Kabbalah .

They write: you can enter the #EU, but you can’t exit! It’s true. Movement toward unity happens in all of nature. On the still, vegetative and animate degrees it submits to nature’s laws. But on the Human degree, man must be raised above the animate degree in him … #Brexit
… and then taught development.

The world has always blamed the #Jews for all its troubles, regardless of how developed it was. So today: if we don’t explain to the world why it needs us, it won’t stop asserting that we bring harm upon the world. Nature pushes us to correct ourselves and the world.
Time is always against us!

If we don’t make ourselves important to the world, it will make us important for its hatred of us. #Jews

The sons of Israel were made responsible for mankind’s correction by the Creator’s force, “For the whole earth is Mine. And you will be upon Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” Everything depends on the sons of Israel. When they correct themselves …
… all the nations strive after them (Sfat Emet, Shmot, Itro) And vice versa!

#Israel will be the first to receive abundance. From them it spreads to all the nations. Hence they are called Israel, Li-Rosh, My-Head (Be’er Maim Haim, Truma 25).
This is the reason for #Antisemitism. We do not receive from above and pass to other nations the upper abundance …
… which is what they blame us for.

Some write that the #EU is an invention of the Jews, the Rothschilds. True, connection between nations, trade and movement have always been close to the Jews, who had one language and lifestyle. But in order for this to happen in the EU, people must be brought closer through …
… upbringing rather than by simply removing the boundaries.

If you change, the world will change. Don’t demand for the world to change if you don’t change yourself. Improve yourself and everything will change.
The world depends only on the change in a person, not on changing others. You will discover that they don’t even need to change.
The whole world is in full correction!

All faults are corrected by love. Nobody is correct among leftists and rightists, whites and people of color, males and females, etc.— it is necessary to UNITE all above all differences—according to the teaching of Kabbalah! Otherwise, replacing the #liberals with the #conservatives
… you’re switching from one dictatorship to another, and neither will make you happy!

How Do You Feel The Creator As Your Partner?

232.1Question: How can I feel that the Creator is my partner in spiritual work?

Answer: I have to accept it a priori, and thus, appeal to Him. And then I will see that He responds immediately to my requests. The Creator is not a living person, but a system that responds to my correct requests.

And my requests are correct only if I take from Him what the world needs and selflessly pass it onto the whole Kli (soul/vessel) through myself. And each of us should do the same.

In essence, I want to become a conductor from Him to the world and from the world to Him. For this, I have to suffer all the sufferings of the world and form them in myself correctly so that all of them will be aimed at uniting with Him.

I re-register in myself all the egoistic desires of the world, envelop them with the intention for the sake of the Creator, and appeal to Him. And then I receive certain properties and knowledge from Him, and I can, by reforming them, give them to the world in such a way that the world will advance a little more through its egoism to the Creator.

If There Is No One Else Besides The Creator, Then Who Am I?

laitman_276.02Question: If there is no one else besides the Creator, then who am I and where am I?

Answer: You do not exist. You need to reach a state where there is no difference between you and the Creator and you absolutely do not feel that you have your own “I.” You merge with Him in thoughts, desires, and actions.

Question: Does the Creator also not have His “I”?

Answer: The Creator has no idea of His “I” since this is the only existing, initially eternal power, which is beyond time, space, and movement. Therefore, there are no such questions about the Creator because we cannot imagine in which coordinates He exists.

Where Do Our Thoughts Come From?

Laitman_718.04Question: Why does the Creator give me the sensation that my thoughts are my thoughts and my desires are my desires?

Answer: He does it in order for you to reveal that He is the source of all your thoughts and desires, both bad and good, all your actions, all that happens to you, around you, and outside of you.

While experiencing different thoughts, you consider them your own, but they are not yours.

Often a person catches himself realizing that these are not his thoughts. But where did they come from? Did they soar somewhere in the clouds and now landed in his head? Or he says: “No, I did not think so. Oh, I did not mean to say that.”

He in a way controls himself and sees that something wrong is happening with him. These are problems of our individuality and how we position ourselves.

New Life #129 – Language And Spirituality

New Life #129 – Language and Spirituality
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

Today’s economic crisis is a crisis in communication. In the inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels of nature, everything develops through complementary communication. Only humans advance against nature by harming and exploiting without taking others into account. We study communication in science, wisdom, philosophy, and religion, trying to understand reality. We attempt to understand the language of nature through music, poetry, dance, and masks as well as through ecology, storms, international trade, economics, law, and war. Nevertheless, human language evolves according to the needs of people and has become narrow and egoistic since man has lost communication with nature and understands what is happening to him less and less. Egoism disrupts everything by cutting connections with family, work, and country. The languages were created in order to bridge the distance between people and complete the internal connection that was severed. We must learn to communicate properly if we are to get out of modern Babylon. In repairing the communication between us, we will enter into a dialogue with the generality of nature and ascend to the peak of human development.
