Question: In the past, Kabbalists performed a very strong connection in a small group and it has been fruitful for the entire world. Why now is it so important to pass this methodology through the masses?

Answer: Everything that happened before us in the world, in the modern global Babylon, happened in the form of preparation of personnel, theory, methodology, and universal integral connection of people.

Now the time has come to implement it. Therefore, there is a great difference in the work of Kabbalists in the past centuries compared to what is happening today. Now Kabbalists should go out to the masses and explain to humanity what the methodology of connection is that will save the world.

In fact, this methodology is intended not for the sake of saving the world, but for the sake of elevating humanity to the next degree, but people do not know about this, do not want to know, and do not understand this. Nature, the Creator, has set the task for us to ascend to the next degree, to become united, to become similar to Him, but you cannot explain this to a person.

It is clear to him that when a stick pursues him from behind, he must run away. And we want to show him a carrot ahead instead of that stick: “A beautiful good life awaits you, let’s strive for it!” After all, you can run away in any direction, in 360 degrees, and they will all be bad. Instead, you show him that it is necessary to go precisely to connection, not to run away, but to strive! This is a completely different system, a completely different methodology, a completely different attitude to the world and to life.

Firstly, it gives you hope, shows you the future state, how to reach it, by what forces, and so on. All the leaders sitting in the government are running away from this, they do not know where and how. “Let’s chop this, push that, let’s not do this!” which means they act without any understanding.

If they understood the future state of the world, they would see that by starting again to play confrontation among them they are committing hara-kiri for themselves and their countries. But none of them hears it. Look what they do to people, what hatred they cause in neighboring fraternal nations!

Therefore, to show a carrot ahead, something sweet and kind, is not like pushing people to a bomb shelter, but on the contrary, to a meadow, together! I believe that the problem is still with us, I never blame the world itself. If we made more efforts, we could still be heard on the Internet.

We need to create a unified good team and purposefully carry out serious advertising through the Internet and explain the methodology of connection, its necessity, the urgency of the need for it all over the world, anywhere, under any formations, from slave-owning to capitalist and the most modern ones. This is what we need to do.

Question: “Does God exist?”

Answer: No, there is no God. There is nature with its eternal laws, and the main basic force of nature we call  “the Creator” because nature creates. Among other things, it also created us.

We are inside nature, we are part of it. But not in the way it seems to us that supposedly we can observe it from the outside and thus make some decisions outside of nature. We ourselves are a product of its work, and I would say, not the best one.

Yet, we are special, because we can see, observe, make decisions, somehow change something, we have a certain freedom of will.

In general, we are inside nature, and all of it is a creation, inside of which there is a force holding this entire system. This force is called the Creator.

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “How is envy or jealousy ever good?“

Envy is a great developmental force. It is bad only if it sets us on a destructive course. However, if envy makes us build and improve ourselves, then the envy is good.

Envy is a characteristic quality of our egoistic desires. With its help, we see that others have things that we do not have. It thus makes us develop ourselves.

Envy integrates us, and such integration can continue up to a point of grasping other people’s desires, thoughts and qualities.

Based on the video “How Can Envy be Good?” with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman and Oren Levi. Written/edited by students of Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman.

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “How do parents appreciate teachers?“

As a part of an Israeli news program, three parents were assigned as teachers at a prestigious school for a day, and it led them to have a much greater appreciation of teachers afterward.

I support such an experiment, i.e. to let parents be teachers for a day.

While teachers have their work to do, which requires constant listening to their students and a constant concern for how the students absorb the teacher’s messages, parents should likewise work similarly at home. Parents should raise the importance of teachers in the students’ eyes, that the teachers teach the students significant material that they will need for life, which they will be unable to hear elsewhere. Teachers should also go to school with such a feeling of responsibility.

A well-oiled triangle of teacher-parent-student comes about when parents and teachers work in tandem toward children in order to guide the children’s development into happy and successful human beings.

Based on the video “Should All Parents be Teachers for a Day?” with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman and Oren Levi. Written/edited by students of Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman.
