Michael Laitman, On Quora: “What are some good things that we should look forward to in the year 2022?“

That people will open their eyes to understand the universal formula of nature—one of perfect connection and mutuality—to see, feel, enter into and exist in this formula.

We would then experience an opposite world to our current one. Everybody would live according to the tenet, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” and we would experience harmony and balance on all of nature’s levels.

Based on “News with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman” on December 20, 2021. Written/edited by students of Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman.

Question: There are disciplines involved in interpreting Bible prophecies. Is it possible to establish the accuracy of their interpretation, the single true meaning of the text?

Answer: No it is not possible. The fact is that a prophet never speaks accurately because the integration of our world with the spiritual world is very ambiguous, difficult, and happens around certain people or even one person. It is not that you would simply go out on the street and see how the world has changed, that is, what the prophet has said and this is how it would appear to everyone.

The world has many different shapes, and everyone can feel it to the extent of their equivalence with the prophet, with the prophecy. Therefore, everyone will see what he wants.

Question: What is the main message in the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah?

Answer: It is about the fact that our world is developing toward more and more universal communication at all levels and in all its parts, and we need to support this connection between everyone and in everything.

Therefore, we are trying to reach out to people in all languages and at all levels so that they understand that the most important thing for everyone is communication, connection, and mutual support. Only then can we achieve the correction of the world.

The whole Torah speaks about proper communication between people, which is expressed in love for one’s neighbor, in mutual guarantee.

Question: Is that why asceticism and seclusion are not encouraged?

Answer: This should all be inside a person: be ascetic about yourself and friendly with a wide embrace toward others.

Comment: According to the current educational system, the teacher tells the children facts that are written in a textbook and all students should accept these facts as indisputable truths without expressing their opinions, without discussing anything about them, just accept them and that’s it.

My Response: The modern school has no goal to make a Man out of a person. “Man” in Hebrew is “Adam,” from the word “Domeh“—”similar to the Creator.” That is, schools do not have the goal of raising a child to a special level in his or her inner development, of giving the fullest and perfect realization of his or her inner potential, which is called a soul.

This is completely out of the question because no one knows anything about this level, not the students nor their teachers.
Here we are faced with the fact that we need to restructure the entire educational system and most importantly the system of upbringing.

The whole globe geographically consists of parts that are a projection of spiritual forces. External spiritual forces act on matter and form their consequences in our world: continents, seas, oceans, and everything else. Since these forces are diverse, their influence on our world differs.

Therefore, there are seas, oceans, land, deserts, forests, fertile lands, and areas where a person can live and where he is unable to live.

In addition, there are places more favorable from a spiritual point of view, spiritual states develop there. There are places opposite to spirituality where egoistic spiritual states develop, such as the confrontation between Rome and Jerusalem.

Rome represented explicitly an egoistic power to subjugate, so the whole of Europe adopted this ideology and developed in egoism. But as we are now approaching the stage of correcting the world, Europe will gradually fall more and more.

In Kabbalah, particularly in the Study of the Ten Sefirot, which forces that act on each piece of land is described: first on Jerusalem, then on the land of Israel, on Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, the rest of the parts up to Babylon, and then on the rest of the world.

The whole land of Israel is, so to say, divided into ten Sefirot. From Hermon through the Golan to Lake Kinneret it is like upper Malchut, Bina. Jordan is Zeir Anpin. Jerusalem is in the middle, like the Sefira Tifferet, which then descends into the lower Malchut—into the Dead Sea.

This whole geographical picture is clearly constructed according to the projection of spiritual forces. Therefore, it is very important where a person lives. If he feels the influence of various spiritual forces, then moving from place to place, he will feel how everything changes. It is not for nothing that it is said that by changing a place, you change luck, i.e., fate.

Question: There are prophets who received information in a dream. What is this way of communicating with nature?

Answer: These are all levels of attainment. In fact it does not mean a dream or a conversation or seeing with our usual instruments.

It is often written in the sources that the prophets received information not directly from the Creator but through angels. Angels are a level of connection with the upper force, with nature.

The highest level is adhesion with the Creator when all the forces that exist in a person are locked onto the Creator. There is no longer a division in communication into any levels, for example, vision, hearing, or sensations. Everything is included in this highest level.

Question: The great Kabbalist of the twelfth century Rambam compares love for the Creator with love for a woman: “Like someone lovesick whose mind is not free because of love for that woman, and he always abides in it: whether he sits or stands up, or eats or drinks. Love for the Creator should be in the hearts of those who love Him and abide in it always, as we are commanded to always love Him with all our heart and with all our soul. ”

King Solomon also spoke about this. What is this state of being sick with love?

Answer: This feeling cannot be conveyed in words. Love for the Creator is manifested to the extent that we can relate to Him correctly.

We feel the Creator all the time. Apart from Him, there is nothing to affect us. This manifests itself through everything that is around us, and we constantly feel the manifestation of the Creator in us, but do not understand it.

The Creator is hidden behind these sensations because since we are egoists that are opposite to the Creator, we cannot feel Him. Like a child who does not understand his parents who treat him with all their love, he thinks that they do not want to give him what he wants.

From the side of the Creator comes absolute love for us. We just feel it when we ourselves relate to Him with love. To the extent our directions coincide, to this extent, we feel that the Creator loves us.

Question: What does with all my heart and with all my soul mean?

Answer: With everything that is in me, both desires and intentions.
