The Biggest Anti-Semites

Question: During the Age of Enlightenment, those Jewish people who assimilated among other peoples became atheists or Christians and began to hate Jews who kept up the traditions even more. This hatred still exists in the State of Israel and it is growing.

How is the assimilation and internal hatred of Jews connected with unreasonable hatred?

Answer: A person who wants to break himself away from his root, but realizes that he cannot do it, because, obviously, there are inner forces of nature that will not allow him to, begins to hate himself, the people, the spiritual principle, the Creator.

But despite the fact that he would like to completely break himself away from this and to become an ordinary German, Frenchman, etc., he cannot succeed.

It arises such hate in him for the people, for himself, for his root, from which he heal. This is why he becomes the biggest anti-Semite.

Remark:  Unreasonable hatred is a state when a person hates working without payment. We cannot do an action without receiving payment for it, fuel, benefit for ourselves—this is our nature. We hate the quality itself for no reason. This quality is bestowal, love, unity. That is, we unconsciously hate those people in whom this quality appears.

My Comment: This is why Jewish people who are engaged in various kinds of sciences, art, and social movements propagandize anti-Semitism there.

Question: What is to be done with these contradictions? The war between the Jews continues. There are reformists, ultra-Orthodox, atheists, communists, etc.

Answer: Everyone is ready to destroy the other one. More than all the anti-Semites put together, according to Kabbalah, this is normal because Jews have the biggest egoism.

Remark: But on the other hand, you say that there must be some kind of higher idea above all this, which will unite them.

My Comment: To do this, they should turn to Kabbalah, or Kabbalah should turn to them.

For more on this topic, read my books Like a Bundle of Reeds: why unity and mutual guarantee are today’s call of the hour, and The Jewish Choice: Unity or Anti-Semitism, Historical facts on anti-Semitism as a reflection of Jewish social discord.

New Life 1257 – How Ideas Are Spread
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

All in all, nature is a desire to receive that passes from one human to another like a virus. We receive and absorb ideas, thoughts, and genes from one another. Nature is interested in us conveying ideas and thoughts to each other so that we will achieve a single, circular, connected, integral mechanism. Nature implants thoughts and ideas in our heads but we must achieve the altruistic, integral idea on our own by contrasting them with their opposite and through freedom of choice. The altruistic idea determines that all are equal and included in each other as one person with one heart.

It is difficult for the altruistic idea to spread because it is anti-egoistic. For the idea to spread, we have to build an environment, a network of connected people, to hold our attention. The wisdom of Kabbalah can show us the way toward continued development and the avoidance of blows like the coronavirus epidemic.

Question: On one hand, you say that there is a certain space, nature, which influences us and is increasing the awareness that it is time for us to unite. But it is obvious that until there is a leader, and not one person, but maybe a hundred, a thousand leaders involved in unification, this will not happen.

Are such leaders emerging? Are they needed?

Answer: I think that today there are many of them in our world. But they should not be leaders of the type we have seen in history. These are just people who realized that the integral dependence of mankind on each other is a natural manifestation of our nature, and we have come to this.

Selfishness grew individually until it became as global as it is today. This is manifested in science and technology, in production and world trade, which also reveal the integrity of the world. But this is not enough, since it is only an opening of world egoism. Now we will gradually see that the world must be bound by completely different kinds of forces.

The fact is that we will still not be able to continue to exploit the land, water, and air as we did before. Nature will no longer allow us to do this.

Try to get out of a pandemic and you will see how difficult it is. You will not be able to restore old ties, old enterprises. You will have no option to restore the old interactions. We will see this in the near future.

Question: It is said that a person uses only about 5% of the potential on one’s brain. Can we assume that this is enough to handle our individual animal needs? And if you work for the whole society, will the rest of the 95% will be opened up?

Answer: To work for the society means to rise above your egoism, to take upon yourself the goals, which are useful for the whole society, for its ultimate goal, for it to become integral, global.

When society riseד above its egoism and works only in an altruistic way, you will be able to use much more than 5% of your potential.

Question: In principle, if I need to solve a small personal problem on my own, the minimal potential is enough. But if it is necessary to solve the problem of a pandemic for example, and groups of scientists are trying to find a vaccine against the virus, then together can they connect to some kind of global mind and solve this issue?

Answer: No. I don’t think it is possible because all of them are egoists and everyone works for his own sake. To do this, they need to rise above themselves, which means to love each other, to include one inside the other.

Question: How can we use our potential if we have a large one, but only use 5%?

Answer: To do that, we need to rise above our egoistic nature, in which we were born, and acquire another altruistic nature, “love your neighbor as yourself.” Then you will be able to unite with others into one single whole, into one mind, into one desire. All of your internal data will become common, and everyone will be working for the benefit of all.

Question: Modern science has developed several conceptual positions in relation to crises:

• Crisis is considered as a natural state of development of any system.
• Crisis is always characterized by the growth of egoism.
• Crisis appears as a unity of two processes. It is always both destruction and creation together.
• Crisis cannot be considered as a purely negative phenomenon.
• Crises are progressive, even if they are painful.
• It is said that a correct diagnosis is half the success in treatment.

What should a person realize? What diagnosis should each of us make for ourselves?

Answer: To start with, we must inform humanity that we all exist in our egoistic nature, and therefore, we must understand that we will have to change it.

All of nature, except humans, is integral and even altruistic.

In our world, inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature are integral. A human, however, falls out of it because of his egoism and does not obey anyone or anything. The main thing for him is that everything must be good for him, even if it is to the detriment of others.

This state exists from the side of nature as a given, in order for us to feel the depravity of our perception and the dead-end in our development.

At the moment, we have come, and this is quite obvious by our development, to a state where we begin to destroy our small planet. It cannot endure us any longer. Therefore, we have very serious problems.

Nature is rebelling against us and begins to very cruelly press us down and push us, trying to force us to change. We do not understand its actions, do not take them personally, and we continue on our path of vanity.

Question: Who are “we”?

Answer: We are very limited two-legged mammals. We are so limited that we are worse than animals. After all, even the small amount of knowledge and opportunities that we have, we use to the detriment of ourselves and the surrounding nature.

Comment: It seems to me that today millions of people have come to the diagnosis: The egoistic nature of humans is to blame for the fact that we destroy the surrounding nature.

My Response: So what if they understand? They understand and continue.

Comment: But many are already aware of the harmfulness of their behavior and are fighting against it, not just a few philosophers, but millions of people and many different organizations.

My Response: These organizations are the most egoistic ones. They fight until somebody buys them, and then they gradually fall silent. Maybe later they talk about it a little somewhere and somehow, but at the same time they understand that they must coexist with the mighty of this world, and therefore everything continues.

Of course, there are those who continue to object, but they are silenced, and they cannot be published anywhere or act. At this point, everything quiets down. After all, we see how we still go on the egoistic path, violating nature by all possible methods. This suggests that people must change.

Destruction is beneficial had our task not been to reveal the Creator. And only the necessity of revealing Him will push us to rise above our egoism so that in the struggle against it we could create a place for revealing the Creator above the two opposites.

Every thing in the world exists for supporting its opposite. There can’t be only one side, and our task is to balance all the systems. Their final balance will be the end of correction and the manifestation of the Creator—the middle line.

We will never be able to destroy the opposite point of view because by destroying the enemy we are destroying ourselves with a boomerang. I must care that the enemy exists, because this is how he helps me reveal my opinion.

I shouldn’t give up my opinion, because I received it from the Creator. I just have to admit that another, opposite opinion also has the right to exist on par with mine. Due to the fact that we are creating a place, not instead of ourselves but next to us, do we build the Creator.

Adhesion is achieved though combining plus and minus. It is impossible to achieve adhesion without hatred. Otherwise, what is the basis of building a connection if not rejection? My thoughts and desires should enter between your molecules and fuse us together…

Everything that happens is like a movie being played by the Creator. I want to see Him through this film without losing touch with Him. I also want to build my own screen to be constantly aimed at the Creator. This is how I come to work under the guidance of the upper force.

The Creator has neither form nor image, but I construct Him out of the desires that He supplies to me. Destroying any phenomenon in the world is the gravest crime! How do we combine all of the world’s forces, which naturally all stem from the Creator, into a single system of Adam (man)? By making concessions to unify.

All the forces, from the most negative to the most positive, must be integrated in the system of Adam, man. From the left to the right, from black to white, all the minuses and pluses, and everything in between, just as in the body. This is the way to solve the problem of #hatred facing the world today.

No one should think about hatred toward others and canceling them. Rather, each should be given space so that, through mutual concessions, we can create space for the Creator to dwell. Only the correct mutual utilization of opposing viewpoints will allow us to build a place for the Creator’s revelations, on top of our mutual concessions.

If we create a place, a common desire, for the Creator’s revelation, then the concept of “There’s None Else Besides Him” becomes truly real. After all, by canceling our desires to enjoy and wishing to connect all together above them, we build something that hasn’t existed until now
On this it is written, “You have created Me.”

We have always developed under nature’s influence. But what makes our generation special is that we must begin to develop consciously. Whereas before nature pushed us to develop like animals, today it demands that we understand the purpose behind its pressure—to unite above the ego.

Kabbalah says that we’ve entered a new period of human development. Until now, our development was driven by pressure from nature. From here on, we will develop in harmony with it. We won’t be able to receive from nature with the ego, by force, but only by realizing that its goal is to unite everyone. We will have no choice but to submit!

We must stop perceiving what’s happening as a crisis. Nature is operating by its own laws. But we don’t understand them, which is why we don’t conform to them. Therefore, the crisis isn’t in nature, but in our lack of understanding of nature.

We’re entering a new format of existence. Education must prepare mankind for it. After all, the essence of education is teaching people to live in nature and in society. And nature demands of us a more integral cooperation of everyone with everyone.
This is the main change in our universal #education.

With each passing day, more and more people realize that what they’re experiencing aren’t accidental shocks, but a planned program of society’s development by nature, in which nature’s goal is to bring people to a conscious similarity with all nature. To connect with all nature—not instinctively, as its parts, but consciously, through efforts…

Question: Today the United States of America are split practically in half—into those who support super-liberal values, i.e., Democrats, and those who support a conservative approach and outlook on life, i.e., Republicans. And this is no longer just a political split. It divides friends, families, cities, and states.

It is a really dangerous process. The collapse of America will lead to global changes because there will be a big rearrangement of the power of influence on Earth, and it is not clear how and in what direction this will move.

How do you see the situation on Earth in this case?

Answer: I see only one problem in the whole world, the problem of human upbringing. If we take care of our own upbringing, which nature demands from us, in order to change ourselves into an integral society, then everything will be fine.

If not, then for sure we will go through tremendous suffering, which Kabbalists describe as third and fourth world wars. And we will be forced to come to the understanding that we need to change the human regardless. There are no other options!

In America’s current state there is only one way—the intensive re-education of the whole society, which they have never done, and on which all resources must be thrown. Everything!

Both whites and blacks, and any other Americans, must pass through a very serious conversion. If they don’t do this, the whole world will feel bad. In fact, this is the problem not only for America, but also for Europe, Russia, and the whole world in general. The whole world needs integral education.

Question: In recent decades, America has assumed the role of regulator, a superpower, a kind of gendarme, and has become a center for the development of the latest technologies.

On the one hand, the United States is experiencing terrible riots and destruction in cities, and at the same time, they launch the most advanced spacecraft made by a private company. Explain how it all fits together? Is there any hope in this that people can change?

Answer: No. This is the same egoism. Everything is completely natural.

Question: What can you say about China, which somehow stands out against this background and behaves differently?

Answer: The fact is that now a different time is coming. If Americans really stop trading with China and the other countries also gradually curtail their trade with them, then China will turn into an ordinary country. And all their grandiose plans, as it happened once in Russia, will be safely buried. The most important thing in China is its ideology, which is not viable, I think.

Question: You said that in the future 20 to 30% of the world population will work and 70% will study. What will they study?

Answer: If you calculate what percentage of the people we need in the workforce, including scientists, programmers, and all other specialists only to provide people with everything necessary for existence and not to produce unnecessary surpluses for anyone, then I think it will be 20%.

And everyone else will study and get a scholarship for it, not unemployment benefits like now when people sit at home and do nothing.

They will learn about the integrality of the world and the correct interaction with each other in order to be at the human level, not at the level of inanimate, vegetative, or animate nature, but at the level of human nature.

Being properly interconnected, they will provide the world with mutual integral dependence. In this sphere, everyone will feel themselves above the egoism of our world, eternal and perfect.

In order to achieve this state, we need to educate all of humanity. And to feed ourselves at a normal, comfortable but necessary level, we need no more than 20%. And it will not be some class of slaves because they will give only 20% of their time to get and produce that they need.

Nature will lead us to this no matter how much we resist. We can no longer resist, we can no longer develop egoistically and put only the money at the forefront. It will not do any good anyway.
