What changes should a person go through in order to disconnect from the corporeal perception of reality in parameters of time, movement, space, and move on to the feeling of spiritual reality?
We perceive reality in our desire to receive. What we feel inside this desire is called this corporeal world. If we rise above the definitions of time, movement, and space, we will reach a new perception—the spiritual world.
We are so trapped inside the corporeal axes of space and time that we cannot even imagine what could be outside of them. That is why there is the wisdom of Kabbalah that teaches us how to receive (Kabbalah = reception, a new perception, that is, a feeling of the spiritual world revealed in our new, spiritual sensory organs) and how to move from corporeal sensations to spiritual ones. This is the work of man.
Life in this world is designed to move from corporeal perception to spiritual perception. Kabbalists advise us on how to make such a change within us in order to move from the corporeal world based on reception to the spiritual world of bestowal.
To the extent that we manage to replace the egoistic sensory organs within us with altruistic ones, to this extent we will be able to experience the upper world, that is, the reality perceived in the new sensory organs built on bestowal and connection.

Spiritual worlds are built upon connection of opposites: light and darkness, plus and minus, bestowal and reception, that is, all kinds of inverse qualities in all their forms.
If we can ignore these differences so that it is not the change of qualities that is important to us but the connection, which means that we raise the connection above the oppositeness of qualities, then we will reveal their common upper root inside them. In this way, we will reveal the Creator, the common upper force, and we will reveal the upper reality in this form.
The upper world differs from the lower world in that it is all altruistic, giving, uniting, and loving. The lower world, on the contrary, is rejecting and hating.
Therefore, it is said about the spiritual world that we must turn darkness into light and connect as one person with one heart so that there are no contradicting qualities between us that deny each other. On the contrary, we are always yearning to unite according to spiritual law and to complete each other.
If we do not succeed, then we understand that we were born with such qualities and must live with them, and we just need to strengthen the connection between us. We do not change our nature from reception to bestowal, but we change it to reception in order to bestow.
This is the entire patent. Nothing changes except the intention that we need to correct. And if we cover all crimes and our desire to receive and enjoy at the expense of someone else with the intention for the sake of bestowing to the other, then by this we correct our desire. Although it remains a desire to receive, it works with the intention for the sake of bestowal and connects us into one whole.

Existence In Two Worlds
If we understand the history of our development and its tendency, and realize that nature is pushing us toward harmony so that a human being would re-establish balance in nature rather than causing the opposite effect, we will see how we have to treat nature at its inanimate, vegetative, animate, and mostly important human levels, i.e., the social level. Thus we have to build our society in the way that it would influence all of nature and would bring it into harmony.
When we begin this movement, everything that surrounds us and exists within us will suddenly begin to come into balance—a person’s health, psychology, and physiology, and his relations with family, children, other people, the government, and the world. At the same time, all laws of the world, including the ecology and climate will start to come into balance.
We will begin to feel the general movement of nature above the matter, time, and space. Today, even physicists are talking about the fact that everything depends on each one of us, meaning on the observer.
If we change the observer, give him one more property opposite to hate, which is love, he will be able to control these two properties within himself according to the middle line, he will rise above our nature, and will begin to sense the state of eternity and perfection.
Then we will really understand where our nature has been pushing us toward since its plan is much higher than something that our small mind is capable of perceiving. We will come to this.

Correction By The Integral Force Of Nature
Today the world has become unmanageable and is leading us to the next state—the attainment of our unity, that is, the thing that actually controls us. Previously, we allegedly controlled ourselves; our mind was enough for this because we were individuals. But when the world has closed, we can no longer control ourselves, the world no longer acts according to our minds.
All our movements, plans, and decisions do not affect nature. We cannot sit, think, come to a conclusion, and implement it.
Even if we do it with great difficulty, we still do not succeed because something interferes with it, some extraneous force. It intervenes between our attainments and decisions and interferes with us. This leads us to the need to discover what really controls the world, if not us.
Is the world moving somewhere? It does. Look at what is happening to the climate, the economy, and everything else. It seems to us that there is great discord, the greatest crisis, which is primarily a crisis of control. Actually, this is not a crisis. Everything is going according to plan. But for us, it feels like a crisis because we do not understand what is going on. In fact, there are no problems, we just need to sort things out.
When we sort everything out, we will see that we can enter into this very smoothly and calmly, and we will feel and understand how we can connect with the upper governance. After all, if we are isolated between ourselves at our level, this means that we are controlled by the upper mind, the upper force, and we fall under its influence.

Question: In order for us to not lose the taste for spiritual work, you sometimes have to joke, then scold someone, or say something new so that people do not sleep. Why do we have such bluntness? Why do you constantly need to try to come up with something new?
Answer: Because the body (egoism) strives for constant calmness. What else can it strive for? According to its nature it only wants to be filled and unchanged. This is egoism! As soon as it does not have any feelings of emptiness, suffering, or shortcomings, then this is the state it wants to reach and stop.
Question: Students often come to this state, and they are stuck for a long time. Are they stopped by egoism or simply do not have the strength?
Answer: They do not get stuck, they move. Now they are moving much faster than before.
Naturally, a person starts from afar. When he comes to us he does not understand what, how, and for what. He can nod his head at you even though he does not understand anything. And while he begins to feel something and to understand, a couple of years pass.
This is our work! We all have to go through the same stages. We cannot jump over any of them! We can only speed up time. But it depends only on the person and the extent of his luck when he hears that he has to delve into the group.

Question: You said that you cannot open your soul, meaning, talk about what you are feeling right now. But all the same, a person speaks from what he feels. How can one work here? Where can you hurt yourself and others and where are you still protected?
Answer: You are not hurting anyone yet. We are not talking about these degrees. But in general, it is better to be silent. Why talk about what you are going through internally?
Comment: When something happens to another person, you, in general, if you have also passed this state, you can at least analyze how he feels. It is like a picture in which you most likely see your external states.
My Response: If you want to move forward normally, then there is a technique for this. There is nothing to be clever about, no one understands anything about it anyway. Take this technique and do exactly as it says.
If you do not want to advance, then go into philosophy. Do you want to test love with physics or biology with veterinary medicine? I do not know what and how, but this is nonsense. There is no point trying to compare the incomparable. You want to use the tools of this world—psychology or various other methods—to get into a world where you cannot enter with your feet.
But you do not have the qualities of that world to do this, and you strive without changing yourself and your qualities to get in there: “Maybe I will find something there, I will dig it out and I will have some kind of hocus-pocus in this world, I can manipulate something.” It will not work! Otherwise, all special services would already be “grazing” in Kabbalah.

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “Is there a difference in the sensation of an anti-Semite from the Middle Ages and today?“
Yes, there is. In the Middle Ages, people felt a much deeper dependence on the Jews than people today.
Today, we have medicine, chemistry, technology and other means by which we can use nature to our benefit. Humanity has accumulated much more knowledge, and many more people today engage in fields that Jews more typically occupied in the past.
However, the fact that Jews no longer uniquely hold certain positions and engagements in society does not lessen antisemitism in our times. On the contrary, antisemitism is rising and taking on a new evolutionary form.
The hatred of Jews in our era is not due to Jews’ disproportionate success in fields such as science, technology and medicine. It is rather due to a certain kind of force that the Jews possess: a hidden force that is rooted in what made Jews a united people in their establishment, a force capable of uniting humanity above all differences and divisions.
Before all the rationalizations of Jew hatred in our world today, there is a deeper feeling of hatred toward the Jews that antisemites themselves often cannot understand at its core: that as the Jewish people once united and became a conduit for the positive force of connection dwelling in nature to spread and cover human society, likewise today, the more people feel increasing troubles and dissatisfaction in their lives, the more they feel that Jews are somehow behind their problems.
Antisemitism today thus becomes sharper, subtler, more threatening and more global. If the Jewish people unite above their differences like they did when they first became the people of Israel, they become a conduit for the positive force dwelling in nature to spread and heal the world of its problems.
Therefore, antisemitism can be uprooted if we Jews start functioning according to what made us Jews to begin with: to start uniting above our differences, and by doing so, unclog a certain inner pipeline to human consciousness—to let the positive force of nature enter the world, and to let unity cover the growing differences and divisions in human society.
