Question: Where is the Creator hiding and why?

Answer: The Creator hides behind the entire canvas of this world, behind all our feelings and thoughts. If we want to attain Him, we must expand these actions, qualities, feelings, and visions, and then we will reveal Him as the basis of all this.

Question: What language does He understand?

Answer: The Creator understands the language of feelings when you relate to Him independently of yourself, want to feel Him and at the same time forget about yourself. That is, the feeling of the Creator must be absolutely objective!

Question: How can one understand that the Creator has no boundaries, that He is infinite?

Answer: I do not think we can understand this because a person perceives everything within certain limits. It comes gradually, precisely through the efforts.

Question: Does the Creator like when we pray to Him?

Answer: The Creator does not like when we pray to Him, worship or beg Him. The Creator loves people who want to come closer to Him because His state is absolute, the best! Which is what He wishes for the created beings.

Question: What is God like?

Answer: God is like absoluteness in everything!

Question: Does He have feelings and mind?

Answer: The feelings and mind of the Creator are not limited by anything. But we cannot talk about them because we perceive everything within a framework, within boundaries, in limitations.

Question: Does God have mysteries?

Answer: He has no mysteries. On the contrary, He wants to be fully revealed to the created beings. But at the same time, His task is to bring the created beings to a state where they can reveal Him. He is not hiding.

Question: What is the most real proof that God exists?

Answer: The fact that we exist.

Question: Which image can more accurately correspond to the Creator?

Answer: I would draw with the letters “י – ה – ן – ה”—”Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey.”

Question: What question would you ask the Creator?

Answer: Do you have anything else to show me?

Question: There is a category of people who are ready to help others, the sick and disadvantaged ones for example. But they are mainly driven by the fear that this could happen to them. Does it mean that altruism does not work in this case?

Answer: It does not matter. A person understands that if he does altruistic actions, then he will be fine. This is still a more developed form of egoism.

Question: So it isn’t bad when a person tries to help someone?

Answer: Of course it is not bad. It is better if we offer something to each other—even though everyone is offering something that is more pleasant, more profitable, and safer for him—it is still better than standing with bayonets all the time and bristling against each other. What is good about that?

It is better to come to some kind of mutual agreement even if it is an egoistic one and cooperate rather than pointing bayonets at each other.

Question: Man has invented photography and movie cameras that capture reality as we see it, meaning subjective reality. You say that if we change our senses, then reality will be perceived differently.

Why does the camera still capture everything in our sensors? If we had other sensors, would we see something different in the captured photo?

Answer: The fact is that nothing is actually fixed, it is all inside us. That is why it is hard for me to explain it.

Everything is inside a person and depends only on which Reshimot are triggered in him, what exactly they draw to him, and he now sees it from the outside.

Question: There are a lot of your recordings in the archive. I’m reviewing some of the videos that we recorded three years ago, and I’m surprised how much they contain information that was at that time imperceptible.

Answer: Of course, you didn’t feel it then, but you do now.

What does it mean to record information? This is the Reshimot, their implementation. There is nothing else.

Information records exist initially, that is, even before something was created. And then they unfold and are realized, filled, and stored in this form until they come together into one single, full-blooded, perfect, complete, closed system called the world of infinity. And all the smallest details, no matter what happens, are realized and recorded.

The fact that we are now inventing all kinds of recording forms, various mechanisms, all this is nonsense. All this has already been recorded and exists around us; it represents one single computer, one single communication system. It has everything, and every time we just awaken more and more connections and constantly capture everything. Meanwhile, our intentions, thoughts, volitional and painful efforts are recorded, everything you want.

The Reshimo consists of two parts: from the power of the Reshimo, Aviut (that is, the power of desire) and the Reshimo de-Itlabshut (the power of attainment, the magnitude of attainment). Therefore, there is a record of absolutely everything, everything is included in the Reshimo. And this huge record is gradually unfolding ahead of us so that we learn, become active elements of it, gradually absorb the whole system, and become its rulers along with the Creator.

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “Why do so many people identify with the loneliest whale?“

The Loneliest Whale: The Search for 52 is a documentary that, over thirty years, tracked a whale that produced high-pitched sounds on a frequency unique solely to that whale, to which no other whales responded. They thus called this whale “the loneliest whale,” as it lived in complete loneliness, roaming the seas with its unanswered call.

Many people identify with this whale because sometimes in life we feel that we too are like that lonely whale, that no one hears us. We could even be surrounded by a lot of people and have a social life on the outside, but on the inside, we sometimes feel so lonely that no one responds to us.

Indeed, we each live inside ourselves. However, instead of remaining lonely, we should apply ourselves to positively connect with others above our feelings of loneliness. It is because our development is leading us to a complete connection among all people, and by aligning with such a tendency, we will discover much happier, more fulfilled and meaningful lives than our current experience. We should thus consider the kind of frequency that we would need to produce in order for others to hear us and turn to us.

That frequency is a heart full of love, one which wishes to benefit them. If we calibrate ourselves in such a way, then we would cure our loneliness. We would then find that others would start responding to us, wanting to come closer to us.

Based on the video “Why Do So Many People Identify With the Loneliest Whale?” with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman and Oren Levi. Written/edited by students of Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman.

My new article on Linkedin “Is the World Getting Worse or Is It Only Our Perception?”

If we follow the news today, we see a world about to collapse, as if we were experiencing the worst time ever. Therefore, we are able to believe that our grandparents were right, longing for “the good old days.”

Grim indicators abound–extreme heat waves and raging fires in Europe and the United States, America bleeding between one mass shooting and the next, inflation reaching historic highs to the point that recession seems likely, the unending Russian war in Ukraine continuing to cause shockwaves across the globe.

Britain and Italy face political instability. Sri Lanka sank in front of people’s eyes while its leaders fled the country. The quiet country of Japan saw the assassination of its former prime minister in the daylight.

As shocking as everything looks, nothing has changed that much in the world. The main change has been in the accumulation of information and people’s connections in the world. In past times we set out on walking tours to hear what was going on in the neighboring town and rocked inside a ship for two months to get to know a distant country.

In later periods, we bought a ticket for a high-speed train or took planes to land on a distant continent to know other realities and people. Now without getting up from the chair and with the press of a key we are there, in the heart of the world. In less than a second, the entire colorful, noisy and bustling reality unfolds before us, stunning us with its growing influence.

We hear and see, feel, admire and respond to everything that happens to everyone in every corner in real time. Communication between us requires us to absorb an intensive flow of information which we consume like addicts.

How often does someone read a book and go to a friend to share, “Listen, what a good book I read!” We are in a world that is all news that we are not built to absorb, engagements that we are unable to tolerate. As a consequence, people are getting sicker physically and mentally.

The endless bonds formed between us are cold, flat and alienated. They have no depth, warmth or identification. They lack sympathy and willingness to approach, and do not take into account that we are one. If the world seems full of crises, it is the ties between us that are broken.

The physical bonds between us have become tight and fast, and so it should be, but we need to adjust ourselves internally and emotionally to it. We need to insert warmth within these bonds that will strengthen and connect us instead of breaking us apart. You can turn off the news a bit, open a purposeful book, talk to each other, and feel each other.

Instead of running around with eyes on the monitor and absorbing fragmented pieces of information, we can get a real picture of reality when we look at creation as integral, knowing that it has direction and purpose. All of reality, past or present has a single purpose: to make us perceive that we are one, like nature, and to understand that only through our mutual guarantee and interdependence will we be able to overcome any hardship. When we achieve this perspective, the perception of the world that we see will finally come into a beautiful balance called peace.

Today we live in a world of global interconnections. The war in Ukraine resonates all over the world and in all that we do from buying bread, lighting gas on the stove, or starting the car. This conflict affects everyone personally even if you are physically very far away from it. We are given a real sense of the meaning of global peace and mutual dependence.

In what way do we depend on each other? We can say in everything! Almost every country depends on others in the fields of food and industry. Over the past decade this dependence has already become total. If we haven’t realized it yet, then we will have to experience it in the most practical ways in the coming years.

Therefore, we should seriously think about what we are doing. After all, anyone who ignores his connection with others, even if imperceptible at first glance, seems to be shooting himself in the foot.

We don’t realize yet that we are in a completely closed system. As soon as a chain breaks, it hits the countries that depend on it, then the other countries that depended on them, and then other countries; so this problem spreads until it covers all of humanity around the globe.

But the fact is that we do not want to recognize this mutual dependence. I am willing to recognize dependence on my family and, well, maybe to some extent on my country. But why should I take into account the interests of other states and foreign, sometimes even hostile, peoples?

I don’t want that! But there is no other way. We see that everything is arranged on Earth in such a way as to reveal our mutual dependence to us and our obligation to be connected with one another. After all, no one is able to provide even the most vital essentials for themselves without proper and kind communication with all the peoples of the world, with all countries. It’s a miracle how we suddenly found ourselves in a round, integral world.

In this situation, we learn how dependent we are on each other; no one can consider himself free, since he depends on everyone. One country cuts off supplies, which causes a chain reaction and disruption of supplies in one country after another, and as a result, everyone would die of cold and hunger, without coal, steel, rare metals, oil, gas, medicines—the most vital things. Humanity simply will not be able to exist if it continues in the same spirit.

Mutual dependence has become total and we have to admit it. This is the main characteristic of the modern world and of our generation. If we want to suffer less, we need to talk about it more and clarify it. In this way we will come to peace, to advancement, and to mutual support. All of humanity around the globe will become one community, one people, so it will be impossible to start a war anywhere, with anyone.

We must finally end wars, conflicts, and hostile attitudes, and acknowledge that everyone has an obligation to ensure peace for one another.

It is impossible to understand the Torah if you do not study the science of Kabbalah. Everyone knows this book that seems to tell the story of some people (like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) and about events that took place in ancient times with the people of Israel. The Torah is written in such a way that everyone thinks it is a historical tale even children can understand.

But the sages say that there is a secret code in this story and that there is not a word about this world in it. In fact, it encodes a story about the governance of all of creation, the entire universe, all the forces of nature that were, are, and will be, visible and not visible to us, felt and not felt by us—about everything.

It talks about the Creator, about the upper force that is above our world, along with all the upper worlds that we have not yet discovered, about His relation to the whole creation, and most importantly, how this creation can correctly react to how it feels its existence.

The creation is given the opportunity to change itself so that through all these concealments, through all the worlds and spaces, it can reveal the upper force that controls it and thus change its reality, which is the goal.

Kabbalists say that everything is in our hands; we just need to understand the code of the Torah. Just as with the help of a familiar programming language you can operate a computer, with the help of the Torah, with the help of a special code, by reading this book correctly, you can enter the computer that controls all of reality and begin to control it and your whole life through this code.

Therefore, we need the science of Kabbalah to change our fate.

The Creator did not create a flawed creation but created it in a completely perfect state, and the creatures need only to reveal this.

We must study from Kabbalistic books what connection means and imagine what our corrected state should be: our behavior, thoughts, desires, and how it differs from what it is now.

But we do not correct any personal inner qualities; and to the extent of our desire to connect with each other, our inner qualities will correct and change only because of it.

Otherwise, time goes by and man does not change. Changes occur only when we strive to build the correct system of relations between us.

The Creator created the creation in a completely corrected state—merged with the Creator—but then he shattered it and instructed us to reveal this shattering and ask for its correction. The difference between the desired and the actual state is growing all the time: every time I reveal the next shattered degree, I incorporate in it and feel that this is me. And then I begin to correct it in connection with the ten and by turning to the Creator.

The revelation of a new degree each time feels as if one has come across an impassable wall. But if we connect with our friends, then the wall disappears—just evaporates as if it never existed.

At first it seems that a concrete wall of endless length and infinite height is in front of me. And suddenly, I see that it begin to melt, as if a fog is dissipating; it was there and now it is gone. And now everything is open, clear, familiar, and tangible in front of me. Everything depends only on connection.

The wall that I see is inside me and is built on the lack of my connection with my friends. This is the flaw I see in front of me. All that remains for me is to cry and ask the Creator to help us unite with our friends because by doing this we cancel the wall.

I should see before me only the connection between friends and the connection with the Creator—two degrees of connection. Connection is the key to the solution.

We will see later that this whole world is just an illusion. Therefore, one must go forward, do not look around, but take a direct course to connect with friends and connect with the Creator. This will help us achieve the goal very quickly and to this extent see the truth.
