Helplessness Before Nature

laitman_251

Humanity feels itself as living in a certain space. What we exist within, we call our world. This is the surrounding nature, its inanimate, vegetative, animate levels, and humans.

Our world is governed in some way and lives according to its own laws. We study these laws and try to find some connection between them, how they affect us, how we can affect them, the properties of nature, and how to subjugate nature to make it profitable and comfortable for us to exist in this world.

As a result of our development, which has lasted many thousands of years on Earth, we come to the conclusion that we still know little about our world because events that we cannot predict take place in it and there are forces we cannot control. They affect us in a terrible way, scare us, and put us in situations that make us feel small, petty, and miserable.

Despite the achievements of science, we do not know when there will be an earthquake or a hurricane and what their impact might be. In general, there are enormous forces of nature that are developing, causing us great trouble, and we can do nothing about it.

We can do nothing with our lives, we cannot create a good society, correct interactions between spouses, children, and parents. We can do nothing about the fact that we are limited in our life, weak in the face of nature, in the face of ourselves. We are helpless in the face of life and death, and we find this very depressing. Subconsciously it humiliates us.

In general, we live in a world we know nothing about.

Question: Are there certain algorithms that nature develops us through, but we do not know them?

Answer: Even if we knew them a little and we gradually came to know them, it would not help us in governing. Humanity’s development leads only to the fact that we somehow protect ourselves from nature’s negative influences, but nothing more.

A person finds himself existing in the system of forces that govern him at all levels. We can do nothing in the field of economics, family relationships, relationships of state, or in the sphere of ecology, in anything. It is in our era, when we have achieved such prosperity, such strength, and such understanding of nature, that we only become convinced that we are very weak and do not know it.

What Emotions Should We Fill The Group With?

laitman_944Question: Do you have a recommendation of what emotions we should fill the group with?

Answer: Only positive ones. Only with aspiration to the goal. You must set an example for the friends without even speaking about it. They should see by looking at you how much you aspire toward the goal, desire it. With that, you are doing a great service to them and yourself.

The inspiration that you emanate onto them comes back to you and pulls you forward. You multiply your aspiration to the goal 620 times.

If everyone conducted himself this way in the group, you would move forward like a rocket.

The whole science of Kabbalah, the revelation of the spiritual world and the Creator, the exit from our miserable and temporary existence into an eternal and perfect existence—everything is open to you. Take it, use it, and have great fortune in life!

The Purpose Of Creation

laitman_283.02The science of Kabbalah is based on the existence of only two forces: receiving and giving. The entire universe, the whole world, is based on them. Kabbalah is the equilibrating system between these two forces, leading them to the middle line.

The search for the middle line, its stabilization, its balance, at all levels—from zero to absolutely integral, complete, permanent, infinite egoism—is the subject of the science of Kabbalah.

It is a purely applied science and practice, which is necessary for us in order to get rid of the contradictions. Moreover, these contradictions are not theoretical, between something or someone, but between the creation and the Creator, that is, between us and Him.

We need to balance these contradictions, bring them to a common denominator, to the so-called middle line, where we and He will completely coincide in our desires, intentions, and actions.

This is how we will become partners, lovers, in an embrace, fused with each other at all possible levels, in all forces, desires, and actions.

This is the purpose of creation, which is called Dvekut, that is, a complete merger between two completely opposite forces.

New Life 190 – Returning To The Garden Of Eden

New Life 190 – Returning To The Garden Of Eden
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

The beginning of creation in the Garden of Eden is a harmonious system of connected parts, which lack freedom of choice. Creation develops from two imbalanced forces, plus and minus, which are opposites and connect with each other. These forces develop through six stages until humanity becomes the “proprietor of the Garden of Eden.” Today, we have reached a dead end since we cannot fill ourselves no matter what we do. We need to realize that we lack the positive force that will balance the negative force. This positive force can be found through communication with each other, in the connection between us. If we devote ourselves to locating and developing this force, we will return to the Garden of Eden, paradise, and acquire infinite fulfillment.
