The idea of globalism is dying and people see no alternative. Globalism meant comfort and order. The destruction of globalism means the loss of life orientations. Therefore, the globalist fake consciousness will disappear only with the manifestation of a new stage of development
“Last Generation Society.”

In everything that happens to us and in the world, what the egoistic mind and heart paint to us, we must see an invitation to remove the Creator’s concealment. We exalt Him, meaning, with our efforts we wish to reveal the governance of the upper force, besides which there is nothing.

We try to assert the authority of the Creator despite His complete concealment from the mind and the sensations of the heart. But we make efforts to discern His governance, as if we are peering through fog or darkness—in order to see that it is the Creator who forms each state
…. and desire in me.

If we relate everything to a single upper governance and the Creator’s reign over all events, then we form for ourselves the correct picture of the (spiritual) world. With each such clarification, the (spiritual) world manifests itself more and more clearly …
… acquiring its own form—qualities.

It’s necessary to understand that our perception keeps us in an extremely limited world in which there are only three axes of coordinates and one more—the axis of time. But the spiritual world is built differently: there are thousands of dimensions in it …
… and those that are outside (above) time.

All sins are committed not during descent, but during ascent—depending on how one uses it. You need to stock up on the connection forces—with the group and in the group; gather them not in yourself, but in the group. Prepare yourself during the ascent ….
…. and then you’ll accept the descent with joy, toward the next ascent!

The ten is a mini-model of all creation that includes everything!
If we develop the greatness of the Creator in the ten, then it becomes everything, contains the entire universe.
The greatness of the Creator is the key to transform the ten from an inanimate creation into a living being ADAM. The ten becomes the Creator-like soul.

“The Creator made them tremble before Him”: Every condition felt as a bad one is necessary to force a person to ascend further by way of the Creator’s greatness; otherwise, the heart does not submit. These states bring one to the Creator to open his heart and eyes …
….to receive the Creator’s greatness.

If we, by our efforts, seek through the ten for the Creator’s greatness, we receive a place for His greatness, which we call the Soul. It is in the Creator’s greatness that we build instead of egoism that overshadows Him, where we build His image, as it is written: You create Me.

How can we move from a limited perception of space to an unlimited one in order to reveal the Creator and the vast spiritual world in it? If I feel only myself—it is like being a bug, crawling on the surface, not feeling the height. Through the group, feeling the group …
… I feel the height, the N-dimensional reality.

In spiritual work, a person thinks only about applying himself: not about the reward. And since one isn’t tied to oneself, there’s no room for obstacles. There’s no place for descent, but only ascent, as in the steps.
After all, your interest is not in the outcome, but the action itself, which delights the Creator.

A person’s main job is to raise the Creator’s greatness. After all, only the created being decides whether the Creator exists, and the degree of His greatness. For this work, the Creator is concealed from the creature.
And the creature must, contrary to and above the concealment, identify the Creator as the source of everything that happens in and outside of him.

While we act from selfish considerations, wanting to avoid unpleasant feelings, we are looking for the Creator. From the moment of awakening, you must connect yourself with the Creator and take care to keep this connection for 24 hours.
Such exercises will help one begin to feel a higher dimension.

Any of our efforts to establish the Creator’s governance who controls every situation, allows us to reveal spiritual dimensions. The Creator confuses us, deprives of strength, sends fears and troubles—but this is help, a way to stir us up …
… make us look for a way to rise above our condition.

The most important thing is to increase the Creator’s significance. In the measure of His importance, we rise to a new reality, to the spiritual world. This is determined by how important the Creator is of all the events that He intentionally sends us in the form of problems.
One must rise above them and prefer a connection with the Creator.

Only the worker for bestowal ascends to the Creator; no matter what he feels in his work, even darkness, he only asks the strength to overcome all obstacles. Therefore, a person receives a state of darkness from above in order to see if his work is selfless.
If while in darkness he is in joy, then he works for the sake of the Creator.

The Creator conceals Himself under our desire to receive pleasure. We must retrieve His power from concealment by declaring that He is the only cause of all. So we construct Him, as it is written: “You created Me.” Through all the concealments ….
…. we reveal that the Creator is the only active force.

Although I don’t feel the Creator yet, but I already have a connection with Him through the ten. This isn’t a good connection yet, for it is selfish on my part, so I don’t hear the voice of the Creator. But the connection exists, and I must trust that the Creator can hear me.
After all, He brought me to the group and instructed me to choose it as the means to connect to Him.

It doesn’t matter to the Creator whether you judge or bless Him. What matters is that you don’t forget Him. If you do, considering that He is the cause of all the events of your life, you’re moving toward the goal, toward Him.
Even if the feelings are nasty, you understand that it is necessary so that you keep striving toward the goal.

The deeper we are able to cancel our egoism, the higher we ascend and acquire the Creator’s attributes, His program, and succeed in this work more, all according to the measure of our self-cancellation as we ascend on the ladder of attainment and adhesion.

When a person is in a low state, feels distant from the Creator, has no desire to do the work—it is the Creator showing him the opposite spiritual side; there is no taste; I want to escape. The Creator’s Face is His desire to delight.
This is done intentionally, to push a person toward adhesion. It turns out that the Face of the Creator is in the opposite state.

If we want to enhance the Creator’s greatness, despite any arguments of the mind and feelings, and perceive everything as a call to get to know the Creator and come closer to Him—we enter the spiritual reality, the upper world, the Creator’s world revealed in all our sensations.

Even if we do not yet feel that everything emanates from the Creator, by our efforts to feel it we remove Him from concealment, causing His revelation. We are only required to perform a full measure of effort(se’ah).

It seems to us that in our world we are in the grip of time, which is always lacking. But in reality, I must at this instant achieve adhesion with the Creator forever and not think about the time in order for it to disappear!

Our whole life is tied to time, but if I think of the Creator, time disappears. If I decide that all my sensations come from the Creator, who is absolutely good and does good, in order to advance me to merge with Him—I come to adhesion and time disappears.

Time is a change of states organized by the Creator for me: if one state was replaced by another, then time has passed.
But if I take all my changes to one Source and adhere to Him, then I rise above time.

Feeling The True Creation

Laitman_138Question: Are a Kabbalist’s expectations fulfilled more often than an ordinary person’s?

Answer: Such things cannot be compared. It is like asking a child if he wants to take the place of his wise father who researches, stays up all night, constantly searching. A child cannot imagine this.

The only thing I can say is that when a person seriously engages in Kabbalah, he enters the true process of work. He begins to feel the true creation.

laitman_962.6Question: What kind of emotional communication should exist between people so they will attain the goal of creation?

Answer: There must be absolute adhesion between them. Each takes his place in the system and is maximally devoted to others. “And you shall love your friend as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18) is a law of nature.

Question: Are there techniques of introspection in Kabbalah?

Answer: There is only one method in Kabbalah: to the measure of the Masach (screen), I perceive the Creator. According to my characteristics, I can describe Him. “There is none else beside Him” (Deuteronomy 4:35). What I feel is always the Creator. Even all of our limited nature is nevertheless some kind of revelation of the Creator.

Question: What is my work?

Answer: Your work is to hear the example I set regarding the tens sitting in front of me and to participate in a ten wherever you are. You can even create a virtual ten and work in it.

Question: What did you mean when you wrote that the Creator is partially revealed in states of severe suffering?

Answer: The Creator is revealed in states of severe suffering during a particular stage of person’s development. As a rule, these are one’s first steps in Kabbalah when one begins to feel suffering. One felt the suffering before, but now one connects them with one’s impulses to comprehend their cause.

Question: Do you talk about the perception of reality from your experience and attainment, or do you say what was said to you?

Answer: I speak about the perception of reality according to what I have read and then went through in my own experience.

Question: A normal person feels life in the framework of time, motion, and space. How does a Kabbalist feel life?

Answer: A Kabbalist feels life through time, motion, and space spiritually, not physically.

Question: How can the correction of my soul on a spiritual level influence the physical world?

Answer: It can do this completely. By correcting your soul, you can stop wars and bring humanity closer to the solution to all of its problems.

New Life 1079 – Hatred: A Phenomenon Of Perception

New Life 1079 – Hatred: A Phenomenon Of Perception
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

Hatred comes from the interconnected network between us in order to elevate us to a higher relationship with one another. If I don’t know how to manage the feelings that arise from the network, I become a source of evil toward everyone and outbreaks of hatred will result. Kabbalah teaches people how to react properly to feelings and give a calm example to others. It is a method of attracting a positive force into the network, against the negative force, with a layer of insulation in the middle. Kabbalists study in groups of ten and learn to make concessions for one another in order to discover the positive, upper force. Kabbalah leads us through the network so we can find out what we are living for and know the system that influences us.

My Thoughts On Twitter 2/9/19

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

One’s free choice lies in either awakening to positioning the Creator as the source of all of one’s desires and thoughts, exalting Him above everything—or going with the flow of one’s egoistic desires and thoughts, which the Creator also arranges in the person ….
…. as He awaits his resistance.

In every state imagine that you are in the Creator’s kind governance. He surrounds you from all sides, in thoughts and desires.
These efforts will result in total consent to annul all your egoism and see the egoism as help from the opposite, created by the Creator …
…. an image opposite to the Creator.

From the Creator’s concealment, as the advantage of light from darkness, one must reveal Him, “One, Unique and Unified,” none else besides Him, who controls the ego. All of the Creator’s actions are deliberately covered by 125 layers of man’s ego so that, through overcoming,
he would gradually reveal the Creator.

I have to reform myself. How? How should I change?
Only in that which you need to be fully united with the ten.
For the rest, stay as you are. The goal is to be united over the constant obstacles, until our unity is complete and we can unite with the Upper Force, our Source.

Try to feel the states of night and day as equal, coming from the Creator, as if you’ve merited perfection.
And if you feel a difference between them, ask for the Creator’s help so that you wouldn’t feel a difference in any states …
… but value each one according to how much contentment you can give to the Creator.

Man has but one task: to reveal the Creator as the only existing entity that controls everything, regardless of how man perceives Him. To reveal the One governing him by raising the Creator’s greatness within, against the ego that befuddles him …
… and screens the Creator’s perfection and singularity.

At the start of his spiritual work, man must feel pleasure as he works for the Creator. Efforts exerted through force of will prepare him to the true spiritual work for the Creator.
And he is given the ability to find pleasure in his efforts for the Creator’s sake even in the period of concealment.

Do you activate the filter, annulling natural logic and exalting the Creator in spite of it, as One who deliberately arranges egoistic disturbances in you, in order to crown the Creator in spite of them as the ruler of everything happening to you and inside you?
Do you build Adam inside you out of equivalence to the Creator?

If you’re feeling the night, you must raise the Creator’s greatness by canceling yourself. Despite your body ridiculing these efforts, you strive to raise the Creator’s greatness (Shechinah from the dust).
Despite the taste of dust, you have faith that the Creator is enjoying your efforts above the ego, that this is spiritual work, and that is why you’re happy.

We must accept the Creator’s rule in our lowest state, and still proceed above our reason and feelings, without consideration for them, as though between heaven and earth with nothing to lean on, because we believe above reason that it is the Creator’s wish for us to accept His rule without any conditions.

For as long as man feels bad states, he perceives them as coming from people. But when he merits seeing only good in the world, and that everything turns to good, the truth is revealed to him—that everything happens only by the Creator’s will.

Blitz Of Kabbalah Tips – 8/5/18

Laitman_507.05Question: Is exiting yourself some kind of fleeting state or a level a Kabbalist feels himself in all the time?

Answer: Exiting yourself can sometimes be transitory, sometimes repeated in different ways. It then becomes permanent and progressive.

Question: Is everything that comes directly from the higher power felt as pleasure?

Answer: Yes, because the upper force is the property of bestowal and love of the Creator. If it is acquired and felt by us in the same way according to the law of equivalence of form, then to the degree that we enjoy, we feel the Creator and our adhesion with Him.

Question: How must I relate to questions and answers?

Answer: Answers should be studied together with the questions. If you didn’t get an answer, ask again. Prepare a page of questions and answer them, organize the questions and answers.  Make notebooks or complete books from them. This is very important! I believe this could accelerate your progress.

Question: Is my true “self” a black point in the heart that is connected with its source, with the Creator,  and my egoism is exists separately from me?

Answer: The egoism is not yours. It is given from above so we will transcend it and can begin feeling the new world. Our “I” is a fixed point. Around it you build your new attainment.

Question: How is a Kabbalist different from the Creator?

Answer: A Kabbalist differs from the Creator in that he builds the property of bestowal and love above egoism. This characteristic exists initially in the Creator. With us it is acquired and with Him it is natural.

Question: Is death a punishment or a reward?

Answer: There is no such thing as death. There is a transition from an egoistic desire to an altruistic desire through the study of Kabbalah. If a person doesn’t study Kabbalah, then his egoistic desire gradually fades until it becomes zero, this is what is called a person’s death.

Question: You constantly say that it is necessary to study, and you invite people to participate in lessons, is it possible to exchange study for some kind of work?

Answer: You can’t replace study with anything, because the upper light descends on us during the lessons.

Question: If all that is presented to me is an illusion, then aren’t all ascents and descents part of the same depiction and therefore an illusion?  Should we try to get out of this maze?

Answer: Don’t try to be clever! Ascents and descents are spiritual states. They are what remain after your existence in this world. This is what you have. Both ascents and descents occur in spiritual stages.

What Is The Benefit Of Correction?

laitman_237Question: If all events are already pre-planned, then what is the use of me changing? Whatever is meant to happen will happen anyway.

Answer: No. The world is created not for us to let it run its natural course: “Whatever will be, will be.” We should not take it this way and relate to it like that.

Question: So there is a script, but it is not predetermined? Or is there some kind of freewill for the participants of this performance?

Answer: If I could rise a degree above myself, I would find that everything in me is determined from there: what I see, what I feel, how I decide to act, and what I achieve. Everything exists on this degree.

But I don’t know this. Therefore, I must act in accordance with this supposed higher degree, without seeing, without understanding, and without knowing it, to the extent of my faith in it and in the measure of my property of bestowal.

If I have an intention to give, to adhere to the Creator, to do what He deems necessary, then I rise up to this degree, carry out whatever He has written in it, and reveal that everything is prepared in this way; there is nothing new under the sun.

But I myself reached the decision that I need to correct myself in order to see a corrected world; I depicted it before me and it materialized.

New Life 1077 – The Potion Of Death, The Elixir Of Life

New Life 1077 – The Potion Of Death, The Elixir Of Life
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

A Kabbalist sees the upper world because he makes a special inner correction through the force of bestowal in nature. He rises above the ego each time he receives a dose of the upper Light. He constantly improves himself in this way and experiences the real, eternal world or the elixir of life. By becoming similar to the upper Light, he gains the power of bestowal and love. In Kabbalah, using drugs as a way to feel connected to others is unacceptable since it does not allow a person to overcome his egoistic nature. Each portion of Light that a person receives imparts a quality of bestowal and allows him to become a true pipeline of love toward others.
