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.

Concealment becomes a screen, above which we strive to become similar (Edameh) to the Creator—and then we become human, Adam.
The Creator does not coerce us to do this—we, on our own, wish to make ourselves similar to the Creator. For us, concealment becomes both a dividing screen and a screen of revelation.

The Creator’s revelation obligates us to live by the laws of concealment.
We must always take care of the concealment in order to remain distinct from the Creator, not carrying out His laws instinctively, but carrying them out above the concealment, for the sake of His greatness.

If concealment disappears and the Creator becomes revealed, we will turn into angels—animals that instinctively carry out laws of nature, the Creator’s orders. The sensation of the Creator’s concealment pushes us to reveal Him, to become people, to rise to a degree above the animate, to consciously carry out the laws of nature—the Creator.

Kabbalah is the science of the higher ecology. Love for the Creator will obligate us to study the laws of communication and observe them. We will understand that the upper force of nature governs us and mandates us to come to love for the creatures, and not because we want this, which is the reason for Nazism and socialism.

Question: How can I check if I need the science of Kabbalah for my corporeal life?

Answer: I don’t know what you are looking for in your corporeal life.

The science of Kabbalah is not meant to bring you comfort in this life but to reveal the connection with the Creator, with the upper force of nature that governs us. If one asks himself a question: “Where do I come from? For what? What is the meaning of life?”—it means that a person wants to reveal it.

Kabbalah gives a person the answers to the questions about our existence, why we live and die, etc. It does not have to make your life in this world any better. This is not its purpose.

Question: If thoughts come from above, then what depends on me so that correct and good thoughts come to me?

Answer: It depends on your preparation. The thought that comes to you from above is actually neither good nor bad. Depending on how you are tuned, it induces you to either good or bad. Only this way.

There is no specific impact from above. We just say it this way because it is easier for us. You determine this impact in yourself.

New Life 557 –The Ethnic Demon
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

It is good that the ethnic demon has again been awakened because in order to advance, problems must be exposed, not covered up.

Kabbalah explains that any destruction or division that manifests is an indication of humanity’s ripeness for correction. Today, we are compelled to become a single, united people; therefore, the split between us is being revealed in its full intensity. Latent in the ethnic gap is the origin of all goodness and the secret of a better future based on the principle, “Love covers all transgressions” (Proverbs 10:12). Abraham and Moses taught us how to become as one, above all the differences. Only the people of Israel can deal with the ethnic demon, overwhelm it, learn why it exists, and how to correct it by bringing the power of connection to the world.
