Question: What are the names of the Creator?

Answer: There is a Creator and He has many names. Why many? Who gave Him these names?

Usually names are given by mothers and fathers. But here are the names of the Creator. Do they indicate something or not? We give names to children arbitrarily in our world, depending on what name is fashionable. I remember when Gagarin flew in space; it became very fashionable to name boys “Yuri.”
Still, what are the names of the Creator?

First of all, The Creator is one. So why does He need many names? It might be because He performs many different activities? It might be because He has a very diverse personality and we give Him different names? That is why we need to understand where all this comes from.

In fact, the Creator is an absolutely nameless force, which has no properties, nuances, nothing. He is Himself, existing in isolation from everything. It is impossible to say that He exists and how because we cannot detect Him at all.

However, when He begins to refer to something material and some action comes from Him, we call Him by the name of this action: kind, does good, big, gloomy, cruel, etc. That is, we call Him according to His specific manifestations in relation to us.

If it is not in relation to us, we cannot say anything. We know Him as we perceive Him in our sensations and in no other way. But by Himself, what He really is, we do not perceive. What I feel at the moment, no matter what I feel, everything comes to me from the Creator.

Question: When a desire overwhelms me, I can think about it endlessly. How can a desire suddenly affect a higher level of thoughts?

Answer: Desire changes, thoughts change. I am beginning to think about how to serve my new desire.

Question: Until the desire changes, does the thought not change?

Answer: Of course. How much time do we spend with an empty head, not thinking about anything, with nothing but waves wandering in it. As soon as a desire for something appears, that is it, I am already beginning to think about how and when I shall implement it.

New Life 558 – Unfounded Hatred
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Unfounded hatred is awakened and will consume us all unless we learn to connect above it. Divisions and imbalance are revealed when people try to connect. They discover rejection and need to build bridges of love above the differences. It is impossible to connect without division and love can only exist when faced with hate. The greater the hate, the greater is the love that is built above it by adhering to the principle, “Love covered all transgressions” (Proverbs 10:12). We achieve growth, balance, happiness, wholeness, eternity, and the level of the upper force through this method.
