Question: What makes the spoken Kabbalistic language different from the written?

Answer: Spoken language, unlike the written language, can convey much more, on one hand, and on the other hand, written language can convey more than the spoken language.

After all, written language is not just the language we use today; there were many other additional symbols in it. People used it for a long time until it was all erased and forgotten. Our great teacher Yehuda Ashlag (Baal HaSulam) speaks a little about this.

Spoken and written languages are different ways of passing on information. But in general, of course, everything is passed on in written language, especially in our time.

But it was not so before. At one time, written language was used very little since information was mainly passed on orally and memorized. For example, if I hear something from my teacher, I just memorize what he says literally. Gradually, I start to understand these words and begin to understand what I have received from him.

Question: Was it so because much more can be conveyed through oral speech?

Answer: Not only because of that, but because the information was not written down. It was forbidden to simply write it down. That is why there is the oral Torah and the written Torah.

The oral Torah is much deeper and much higher than the written one. It talks about connection with the Creator. The written one is only what we can write down, what we can indicate, what we can understand and comprehend today.

A true Kabbalist can read texts and see all kinds of words between the lines; that is, certain information that was intended to be passed orally, but was not written down.

Comment: Prices have risen in Israel for the first time in a long time! Basic bread has increased by 36%, and there have been sharp jumps in the price of eggs, dairy products, water, oil, energy, and so on.

It should not be like this—these are essential things. The state should give away all the money, open everything in order not to increase prices for these items.

My Response: We need to steal less! This is my conclusion. Essential products cannot become more expensive under any circumstances.

Question: How to work with this?

Answer: There is nothing to work with regarding price increases! Rising prices are a consequence; this is how they settle down everything.

Comment: Not only them; it is a consequence of world politics, everything that is happening around.

My Response: It does not matter. We are a small country and we could somehow balance ourselves in a different way.

After all, we have a semi-socialist economy. Therefore, we could increase the cost of all kinds of luxury items. By doing this, we would be keeping the price of bread, milk, eggs and other staples at the same level.

It is better to raise prices for what is not so necessary for a person and keep the prices of necessities at the level they were.

Question: This means that in our previous life, in principle, everything was right. Bread, 12 kopecks; sausage, 2.20. I even remember the prices! So, the message was in principle correct then, socialist??

Answer: Yes.

Question: Do you want to go back to socialism?

Answer: No, of course not!

Question: The country, in theory, as you say, should be semi-socialist?

Answer: Not socialist, just caring about society. This is not socialism, but concern for the nation.

Question: And how can we make this concern for the nation the main thing, and not another parliament seat?

Answer: You will not find anyone like that. The environment is such that any person who climbs up becomes like everyone else.

Question: Is it possible for a person not to become like everyone else? What should he do?

Answer: To do this, it is necessary to transform a person into a Kabbalist who would have a connection with spirituality, who would feel what he lives for and why people should exist. And because of it, he would move them forward.

Question: That is, the one who would like to break away from egoism?

Answer: Yes. It is all very difficult, but we will come to it anyway. When? This is not yet obvious.

Question: It is written in the Torah that the world was created with the letter “Bet.” Why?

Answer: The Torah begins with the word “Bereshit” – “in the beginning.”

The letter “Bet” with which this word begins is a special letter. And although it has a hidden meaning of its outline, our world, which is formed by it, is the second world. After all, the Gematria of the letter “Bet” is two.

A person must imagine that he is a created creation and must ascend to the Creator. At first glance, these are very simple things, but inside there are many internal hidden symbols and forces.

A person’s desire for the Creator is usually indicated as a black dot, line, or circle on a white background of the upper light. When there is a mutual influence of a person and the Creator, to the extent that they can complement each other, a person with his desire to feel the Creator and the Creator with His feeling on a person, mutual properties arise between them.

There are only 22 such properties. They are called the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. There are also additional letters, not capital ones, as in other alphabets, but final ones, the so-called “Mantsepach.”

There are no periods or commas in Hebrew. There are only 22 letters that express the descent of the upper light into human desires.

There are many different methods to draw the surrounding light on yourself, even when you are alone. The more so when you are in a group by studying and any kind of work for humanity, but only real, correct, work when you disseminate Kabbalah and help people.

Light leads a person to the realization of the evil of his egoistic nature and it evokes his desire to correct himself. It is the light that leads him to an inner prayer for correction. And when it is carried out, he begins to feel the inner light.

Everyone who feels the upper light begins to develop within this upper light, as if his spiritual eyes are opened. As we see in the sunlight, so the Kabbalist sees in spiritual light. He attains another side of the universe that shows him everything that exists. It is hidden from others, but not from him.

In our world, a person who is enjoying himself does not ask the question: “What is next?” He simply enjoys himself until he gets empty and again begins to strive for fulfillment.

And in spirituality, on the contrary, he is looking for how to properly and kindly influence others and the Creator. Based on the fact that he is overwhelmed with a feeling of goodness coming from the Creator, he wants to continue this transmission from himself to others.

Question: Are there periods when a baby senses everything from end to end?

Answer: No, this has nothing to do with the corporeal body. This is said in a spiritual sense, when an infant is called a person who is ready to rise above itself and become included in the upper domain because one is completely ready to obtain the property of bestowal, the second property of the world that is concealed from us.

We live in the world of reception, absorption, swallowing, and capturing, and we have to cross over to the world of bestowal and fulfillment of others, to living in the desires of others.

If we can cross over to this system, then our first state there will be called a “spiritual embryo,” development in the form of the spiritual embryo. Then, once we completely reject our egoism, we will be able to see everything in this world from end to end.

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “How does a good supportive connection work?“

A good supportive connection works when we share the good and the bad with others, and then we feel the burden from the good and the bad as more moderate and bearable. By doing so, we gain the strength to continue living. There is a saying that someone who visits an ill person takes a part of the illness upon themselves.

If we support each other, then we share an inner connection in our desires, because we are made of desire. If our desires are connected, we pass the fulfillment that exists in the desire to each other. A desire is like a vessel, and if we support each other, then it is as if we pour the fulfillment that exists in the desire into each other’s vessels. Whether the attitude is toward an illness, life, children or anything else, each person in a good supportive connection gains a mixed kind of fulfillment as a result, which gives us the strength to take more weight onto our shoulders.

Through such supportive relations, we integrate with each other, and include several people into our connection. We can then live our lives through others.

The one who gives support builds a copy of the other person in himself, which gives him the ability to grow. That is, the one who provides the support in such a connection finishes building himself on the current degree, and he can then rise to the next degree. He receives more importance in life and in what he does. He then has more strength to develop as a human being in the fullest sense of the term, i.e. as one who is positively connected to others and who feels not only his own individual life, but the life of a much wider circle of people connected together.

Based on the video “How a Good Supportive Connection Works” with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman and Oren Levi. Written/edited by students of Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman.

Question: We’re talking about true love. There probably is such a thing as true hatred, true confrontation.

How can one work with this second part that goes along with love? Does a person need to pay attention to it?

Answer: Yes, it is necessary because all the negative qualities arise in us precisely so that with their help, as we rise above them, we can go to the realization, sensation, and development of connection and love in us.
