laitman_530Principles of Forming a Team: Unification

Question: The fourth rule is the unification of the team. We are talking about creating any team no matter in what sphere of human activity.

The best way to interact with a friend is by example. You need to constantly encourage any actions aimed at bringing the team together. Here it is important to deliberately show your intentions and actions and not be modest. A person must show the other their respect, effort to listen, and understand because this is how they set an example to others.

How important is it to show that I am making an effort to listen to the other person?

Answer: It is extremely important to show interest and deliberately demonstrate it. This is the responsibility of all members of the group, not just the person on duty.

Question: Even if it is hard for me to listen to someone?

Answer: On the contrary, you listen to him, raise your hand, ask a question, and thus inspire the entire group with it.

Question: What will give me strength and motivation?

Answer: The fact that you have to do it. You were given the authority.

laitman_227Hasidism: Touching the Spiritual Truths

Question: The Hasidic movement appeared in the third decade of the 18th century and was founded by the Baal Shem Tov. The approach of the Hasidic teachers allowed ordinary people to touch spiritual truths. If earlier only sages studied them, now ordinary people could do so as well.

What was so special about the teachings of Baal Shem Tov that they captured the hearts of so many people to such an extent?

Answer:  The Baal Shem Tov followed the path of the Ari and explained in a simpler language, close to the people, how to act and connect with each other in order to achieve the revelation of the Creator.

He set a very practical goal: to explain to any person who is in absolute ignorance about what kind of world he exists in, what states he passes through, why the Torah is needed, and why people exist.

It turns out that the Baal Shem Tov gave ordinary people life. He explained to them how to live correctly and that behind every inner movement of a person in mind and feelings is a huge force that is correcting the world. Therefore, every person who treats the world like that is engaged in correcting it.

What Is The Wisdom Of Life?

laitman_232.06Question: How do you deal with egoism if it suddenly pops up in your life?

Answer: It does so constantly, at every second. Egoism overcomes me at every minute and throws me into various thoughts. But this does not mean that I want to steal, deceive, or do something harmful to others.

Egoism is what commands us at every moment in the smallest of actions, for instance, in the way we sit, get up, and walk. It manifests itself in everything: in thoughts, feelings, intentions, words, and actions.

The choice of one or the other, the way we speak, and our behavior is explored by egoism from within, and we must study it all and gradually correct ourselves. However, it is an interesting task.

Question: Do I need to ask myself every time, “Why am I doing this?”

Answer: No. If you study Kabbalah, you will not ask yourself questions because you will be affected by the upper light, another energy that is not egoistic, but altruistic.

Both lights influence you. They will guide you and lead you forward like how a rider controls a horse with two reins. Also, you will feel which of the forces currently leads you, with which and how you should progress, and how to balance them with each other. In principle, the whole wisdom of life is to balance both forces correctly.

Between Egoism And Creator

laitman_608.01Question: When a person rises above egoism, does he see that there is no egoism?

Answer: On the contrary, he sees egoism and how he rises above it.

It is impossible without the ego, which does not disappear. We simply balance it with the good force of nature, the Creator.

The Creator created the opposite force, egoism. In order to balance the ego, we need to reveal the Creator and attract Him.

We will then exist between egoism and the Creator. We will begin to see from one end of the world to the other; everything will become absolutely clear to us. And everything will be fine, balanced, and perfect.

Personality Formation

laitman_543.02Question: Are ideas about good and evil, truth and honesty, love and hate formed by society?

Answer: These views are formed by the environment. But when they get into the soil, it all depends on what kind of soil the grains of the environment fell into.

A lot of other data is taken into account here. These are the properties of parents and even grandfathers, the properties of the family and modern society, as well as all of their interactions.

If I was born from certain parents and grew up in a certain environment, then it is necessary to take into account what kind of society I am raised in, Western, Eastern, religious, etc.; that is, there are a huge number of factors of personality formation that I receive without even realizing it. But all this affects me.
