Baal HaSulam, Letter 25: Initially every soul is already in a perfect state. It is encased in an EGO-shell only in order to be freed of the shame of gratuitous reception. By that it is liberated from the EGO, turning reception into bestowal.
And therein lies its reward—in adhesion.

The next stage of societal development is unification in societies above their internal egoism. And then—above societies. All the processes must occur in all societies-countries.
In the USSR, China and so forth, they thought they could skip capitalistic EGO-development.
But it’s inevitable!
#capitalism #egoism

Under developing #capitalism, any person can reach the greatest heights. But nature is founded on egoism, which has a peculiar character to its development. Accumulation of #wealth has halted the opportunities for growth for all.
Those who are successful have blocked the development of all. They became aristocrats. The period of growth is over.
#economy

The Property Of Kabbalistic Books

laitman_209Question: How can we scientifically explain, without mysticism or religious miracles, that reading the books written by Kabbalists helps correct our intention and change one’s inner state?

Answer: What does mysticism or religion have to do with it? Neither are part of Kabbalah.

Reading Kabbalistic books helps orient you internally toward a goal because they speak of how your soul should be aimed toward it. The same way we tune a musical instrument, we tune ourselves by reading Kabbalistic books.

This tuning fork comes through the books. Try reading them and you will feel it. In no way should you deafen it with any religious precepts, obligations, or various mystical bemusements.

Blitz Of Kabbalah Tips – 12/9/18

laitman_281.02Question: What is a true desire according to Kabbalah? Is it when all other desires disappear or become insignificant?

Answer: Nothing disappears, nothing is lost; only the importance of each desire rises or diminishes.

Question: Can a ten develop incorrectly?

Answer: Certainly. There are thousands of ways to develop incorrectly and only one way to develop correctly. The threat of the incorrect development of a ten is always present.

Question: Who or what is testing a person on the spiritual path?

Answer: It is the properties of the Creator to which one must adjust to a particular degree, in a particular style, in every step of one’s spiritual development. A person must constantly adapt him or herself while passing through the stages of development and adjust to the properties of the Creator.

Question: How is it possible to learn to hold onto two lines simultaneously and not fall into one of them?

Answer: Realize yourself in the group in a way that you will not harm the group with your egoism and then you will feel balance and will maintain this condition.

Question: If I finished an introductory course together with a friend and then entered a ten while my friend remained as a guest, how should I relate to him: as a friend or as a guest?

Answer: Relate to him as a guest. It is only to the degree that he participates in a group that he is your friend.

Question: Are there different correct scenarios for the development of events on the spiritual path? How do you want the same thing that the Creator wants from you?

Answer: The Creator wants only one thing from you: for you to get as close as possible to the group. Then He will be able to be revealed in it. Try, that is all that He is waiting for.

Question: Is it possible to combine creative activity with the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: Activity is activity, and Kabbalah is Kabbalah. Do not mix one with the other. It will give you nothing. You will get confused in this and in that. Moreover, in the end, you will fail in both.

Question: How should one accept gratitude from friends?

Answer: Accept it as manifestation of their love for you, which means that you must relate to them in the same way. At the same time, thank the Creator because if He did not want this, it would not happen.

New Life 261 – Sex Education: The Crisis Between Male And Female, Part 1

New Life 261 – Sex Education: The Crisis Between Male And Female, Part 1
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

The crisis between male and female is actually a crisis between two forces or the two elements of nature, plus and minus. In the 20th century humanity began to break all the good, natural barriers between man and woman and destroyed the foundation of life. Sex, the natural element, became artificial and took over everything, leaving a technical act in place of emotional contact. The result was emptiness. It turns out that we lack an understanding of what sex, love, masculinity, and femininity are. We need to investigate and create new male – female relationships with a higher attachment, above sex, in the middle line, through a joint heart.

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

My new article in Russian, co-authored with Lera Khachaturian, has been published: “An Integral Approach To World History.”

Perception of reality in simple light:
Instead of our world, which depicts our distorted perception for us,
we can feel the single Creator, the only thing that exists.
We exist inside Him and everything is immersed in the ocean of white light.
This will be the true reality.

If I see you in front of me, it means you are in me as a specific form of desire with specific qualities. To the degree I correct my attitude to you, it’s as if I return you into myself. You become included in me, I cease seeing you on the outside.
I return the whole world inside myself.

Egoism is rising, trying to separate us. Striving to unite, we keep attaining a higher awareness, and within it—the purpose of creation, which is necessary in order to enter the new world, to rise above all limitations into the Upper dimension—absolutely infinite undisturbed space.

The steering-wheel of the universe:
We determine our degree along the ladder of advancement in the measure of our unity in the ten: the more connection—the higher the degree. The higher you are, the greater the perception of the integral system of all the worlds that you get, and to this extent you influence them.

There is a “movie screen” all around me where I see the world—inside myself and the changes that occur in me on all 4 levels: human, animate, vegetative, and inanimate. These are the 4 levels of desire that are projected onto the external “screen,” as in a movie.

However, it is impossible to reach the Creator without the world. I have to treat the world as the Creator, and the means will turn into the field of adhesion with Him.

The whole world is a playing field of the Creator with me. The Creator changes my qualities, and this is what I see in the world. Therefore, the calculations are not with the world but with the Creator, through intentions.

If I didn’t see the picture of the big world, it would be felt inside me in such minuscule proportions that I could not advance. But everything inside me, multiplied a billion times, is revealed outside of me. Therefore, the world is the outward projection of myself.
The world is an inner state of a person!

The whole world is inside me. There is no world outside of me. I feel myself, and all the changes that occur in me are perceived as the changes in the world around me. I project my feelings and attitudes outward, and see them as the pictures of the world. The world is my inner state.

Combine the double image of the world:
A person must understand that there is a double image of the world in his field of vision, and he must combine it.
Combining himself into one whole with the others, into a single object, he corrects himself and sees the world corrected.

Kabbalah:
The world is I, what I see outside of me, through my egoism. I see the opposite to me.
I am I, perceived in my egoism. I see myself loved.
Correction is to see everyone as yourself. “Love others as yourself.” In this case, I discover a new world—spiritual, above my egoism.

Only global cooperation can eliminate all threats to mankind’s existence. In part, through mandatory compliance with cooperation requirements, which the #UN should prescribe. This is influence from below. Kabbalists, on the other hand, operate from above, by affecting the root…

Israel Needs Rebranding

Growing Spiritually

laitman_939.02Question: How do we grow spiritually?

Answer: Growing spiritually means being in a group and engaging in it according to the method of Rabash, which we constantly study. This is an old method; it is simply called by the name of my teacher who was the last of a thousand-year-old Pleiad of Kabbalists that worked on this method.

Only if you exercise the method of connecting with others in a group, will all your problems gradually turn into sweetness.

New Life 1111 – The Development Of Judaism: Settlement In The Land Of Israel, Part 2

New Life 1111 – The Development Of Judaism: Settlement In The Land Of Israel, Part 2
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

The people of Israel had a tendency toward connection and love. However, the ego was awakened and had to be conquered after they entered the land of Israel. The construction of the Temple symbolizes the construction of bonds of connection and love in which a higher power is discovered. Cohens, Levites, Israel, sacrificial worship, and so on, mean that they were taking an egoistic desire and transforming it into a desire to bestow. In fact, there is no reality other than our desires with which we work. They portray imaginary places. A person who wants to approach the Creator, the power of bestowal and love, sacrifices the ego. A nation that passes through inner corrections becomes “as one man with one heart” and the power of bestowal becomes revealed.
