A Kabbalist feels the death of the physical body as if one were changing a shirt. If the main thing is me, not the shirt, that is, the soul, not the body, then each time I change shirts, due to this I change,I get more and more elegant attire.

There is nothing scary about death except the loss of the ability to make corrections. But if I didn’t make corrections in this life, I can calmly return the shirt because I have nothing to regret.

Question: Why does a Kabbalist work on a correction every time as if starting to live anew, nevertheless have to die at some point too and change his body?

Answer: There is a huge difference between the forms that a person changes throughout one’s life and the new form for which one must die. This will be a new reality, a significant modernization, as if I were constantly repairing my computer by installing new programs on it, and at some point, I suddenly found out that the computer itself was no longer suitable and would have to be changed.

New Life 1209 – The Root Of Social Divisions In Israel
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Social division is more powerful in Israel because each Israeli feels free, equal to the others, and has an increasing desire to receive, a big ego. Israelis are a stiff-necked people who are unafraid of punishment. Our greatest enemies are ourselves because of the hatred between us. According to our root, we cannot exist unless we attain a tendency toward connection. If we fail to take care of the dangerous division between us, the nation will disintegrate and we will scatter in every direction.

The #coronavirus pandemic is a radical shift of the entire earthly civilization, the onset of replacing humanity’s egoistic structure with a world of integral interaction between all inhabitants of the planet.
We will now bear witness to the gradual collapse of international trade and business systems.

Today we’re entering the concluding phase of humanity’s program of development, called the “Last Generation.” The world is becoming similar to the Creator. For the first time, humans aren’t warring against other humans, but nature itself is attacking humans. It’s no longer a struggle of the egos, but of the Creator against man.

We’re not going to go back to the old world. We’re going to arrive at a new world and become new people. This will happen in stages, but the process has already begun. Nature has its own program that is presently being implemented, and we sense the extent to which we conform to it.

Matzah is called the bread of affliction, because we bake it while in poverty, lack of strength, sensations in the heart and understanding in the mind. Yet, with the help of this new form, we can cross the border between the Pharaoh’s and the Creator’s domains, escaping our egoistic desire to receive to freedom.

When we attain unity in the group, I feel that I am willing to neglect everything for the sake of connection with the friends, since with it I can connect to the Creator. I thus come out of Pharaoh’s authority and go under the Creator’s authority, seeing the ten as a means that pulls me out of egoistic slavery.

Question: If the state of spiritual upliftment experienced at the congress is spiritual, and nothing disappears in spirituality, does this mean that I can always turn to it and receive forces from it in my current states?

Answer: No, we do not turn to the past. We strive only for future states so that they would hold us, bind us, and guide us forward.

There is no need to regret the past and try to return to it again. Only forward!

Even if it seems to you that the state you are in is worse than the previous one, it is nevertheless new because every day a new Reshimo, new informational record, new broken Kli (vessel), appears in us and we must assemble it. Therefore, each time we work at a higher level.

New Life 1186 – Social Encounters And Human Development
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Everything that happens to us during our lives is supposed to advance us toward the final and perfect state of human development. In every encounter with another person, I experience a meeting between two images within me: theirs and mine. I see the other with an egoistic eye, but I need to look beyond the personality to see a representative of the higher power that I must love. All encounters are designed to teach me how to create a conduit out of myself that transmits positive energy and love into our world.
