Question: How do you determine what world we are in? Why does this lower world exist?

Answer: We are in egoism. It is called our world, which we feel within ourselves.

Our lower world exists only so that we could ascend from it to the upper world, to give us a starting point to which we can fall and rise again, each time bouncing from it to the higher degree of the upper world.

Question: If we live in the world of egoism, how can we use it more effectively in order to come to spirituality?

Answer: We have to use our egoistic world because we need to exist in it physically. However, the rest of our attention should be turned to our state in the group. It is precisely on our connection with each other that creating the spiritual Kli, vessel, the spiritual network of forces in which the Creator will be revealed depends.

Question: What is a leap year?

Answer: There are several amendments based on astronomy that have been introduced into the Jewish calendar. They repeat once every four years, once every seven years, and once every 50 years. We need them in order to balance the right and left lines in the middle.

In the leap year, which happens every four years, one more month is added. Once in seven years, Shemittah, the sabbatical year, comes when it is forbidden to plant crops: “Do not worry, you will not starve if you observe everything you need for six years. Do not plant anything in the seventh year.” This is an absolute ban.

Question: So, a person doesn’t question: “How so? If I haven’t planted anything, what will I eat?”

Answer: No, if one is under spiritual forces, then one functions in full accordance with astronomy, with the laws of nature, and with cosmic laws. So do not worry, you will have a harvest for this year, you do not need to plant or clean it. That is, there are special laws on how not to interfere with inanimate and vegetative nature in the seventh year.

There is also the 50th year (Yovel), when all debts are released. If someone bought or sold land to someone, then in the 50th year everything will be back to square one. In other words, the land must return to its original owner.

And who is the original owner? As stated in the Torah, when the Jews came to the land of Israel, they distributed it to everyone and wrote down every piece of land that they gave to every person to use. All this was documented, and therefore, the one who lived on this land had to return it every 50th year to the owner. And for 50 years he could rent it, cultivate it, and so on. These are very serious laws that were enacted 3,000 years ago. There are documents about how these laws were drafted, passed, and legally certified. Since many people participated in this, everything had to be formalized accordingly.

The implementation of the laws assumed that people receive from this a very serious supplement to their harvest, to their life forces. But these laws are valid only in Israel, there is no need for them abroad.

New Life 226 – Maintaining A Positive Attitude, Part 2
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

Only the right relationship to one’s environment can provide a person with the feeling that everything is for the best. If the goal of a person is for the common good, one can interpret everything as an opportunity to benefit others by improving the level of the connection between us. Life is a wonderful opportunity to transform suffering into happiness for all.
