Question: Why is there such a factor as a surname in nature?

Answer: Because this is how we are arranged. Animals have the same thing, only their identification is of a completely different kind. A dog in order to find out about another dog does not need to ask for a passport. A dog will smell it from all sides and knows everything at once: who it is, what it is, and where it is from.

Question: Do names and surnames have any spiritual roots? For example, in Kabbalah, sages are given certain names according to their spiritual achievements. But there are also human names.

Answer: These names are given according to origin.

If we value a person in our world, first of all, by his social status, wisdom, family, professional, national, or state affiliation, then according to this we attribute all sorts of epithets to him.

For example, a doctor, professor, or laureate. We attribute all this to the name in order to emphasize the essence of this person.

Question: In modern physics, there are three main types of matter: matter, field, and dark matter. What kinds of desires and how many of them are there in the spiritual?

Answer: There is the desire to receive. This is what we reveal in ourselves, and other things are not attainable to us.

Question: Is it probably also divided into some hundreds and thousands?

Answer: But it is still a desire to receive.

Comment: Let’s say in our world we see that there is a substance and there is a field— two different types of matter.

My Response: This is a manifestation of the same force, just on different levels. And it is the same way in the spiritual.

Question: From the point of view of Kabbalah, what is primary: matter or consciousness?

Answer: Of course, consciousness; only question is: of what? The realization of matter itself is primary, otherwise we cannot say that something exists. This can be said only to the extent of self-attainment.

Question: Can a person force his child to study Kabbalah?

Answer: Of course not! In no way! He just has to give him an opportunity, and the child himself chooses yes or no.

But, in principle, when a child is still small, you give him a certain amount of knowledge. You pass to him what you consider important. That is how the world works.

If you consider Kabbalistic knowledge important, then you instill it in him. If other knowledge is important to you, you will pass it on. This is natural for parents.

That is, what is natural in nature and thus recorded in our life has the right to exist.

In the corporeal world we very often observe the beginning and the end of relationships between a man and a woman because our world is built on an egoistic basis. This cannot happen in the spiritual world because there is a constant continuity, an “eternal orgasm.”

Question: What is the ideal use of spiritual rules for a person’s protein life?

Answer: It is to become like the relationship between the Creator and the creation! This is the purpose of our existence here—to learn about the eternal, great, and powerful contact with the Creator and build it at all levels from the world of infinity to our world. This is the final correction of man. And the rest of nature is also included in man.

The ideal relationship between a man and a woman will happen when they begin to complement each other correctly so that the Creator, the force of bestowal and love, is revealed between them. This cannot happen if there is no upper attainment.

Therefore, nothing can be solved at the level of our world.

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “What are you afraid of and why?“

I am afraid of nothing anymore.

In the past, I was afraid not having enough time to complete everything that I wanted to in life.

That passed a long time ago though.

What is there to fear? If we would see the truth, then we would have no fear of anything at all, because we would then see that we are in the hands of the good and benevolent upper force. Also, we would see that we have no control over our lives, and we thus have nothing to fear. In short, we have nothing to be afraid of.

Based on the video “What Are You Afraid Of?” with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman and Oren Levi. Written/edited by students of Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman.

As a person develops, he changes not for the better or for the worse, but toward a sharper understanding of the state in which he is. As a result, we really realize that all our movements and all our development come only from our egoism, which has no future. We will nevertheless have to part with it and see that the future is only in the forces of bestowal and connection. Our egoism should lead us to this conclusion, and this is why it is called help against you.

Do not count on governments suddenly realizing the destructive evil of egoism and ending wars. To the government come those who are one hundred percent egoistic, and therefore they are not capable of such awareness. Awareness requires two opposite foundations in a person, at least some grains of goodness. But once a person gets to the level of a ruler, the last drops of goodness absolutely disappear in him, and only one aspiration remains: to rule more and more. Therefore, it is impossible to directly influence the rulers, but we can influence the Creator who will already do what is necessary with them.

If our worldwide Kabbalistic group, in the volume that exists today, all the men and women, feel the force of connection between us and within it our connection with the Creator, then this will be enough to turn the world around.

The world does not need much. There are billions of people in it, but their desires are very small, and therefore they cannot do anything themselves. However, the desire of Kabbalists to connect with each other and connect around themselves all of humanity through good relationships is thousands, billions, of times greater than all the egoistic qualities and connections that exist in the world.

Therefore, we only need to take care of how to become representatives of good relationships to everything, that is, representatives of the Creator at the level of our world. Then everything will be great. We just need to build a strong, devoted connection between us. When we really feel that we exist in one heart, we will be able to go out into the world, and the world will feel the force of good emanating from us that is so urgently needed by it as it is the only force capable of correcting the world.

Question: How should a person behave in order not to take away the freewill of someone else?

Answer: Love, but love can also be different, like a mother who smothers a child with her love. To love is to put the other’s desire and his way above your own.

Question: Let’s say parents build a child’s life according to their understanding of what is right and what is not. How can one determine the right path?

Answer: It is from the fact that you take the desires of the child and work with them, not with your own. That is why the Bible says to educate a child according to his way.

Question: How did you give such a foundation to your children?

Answer: I tried to ensure that they were more or less in a society in which they would not catch any viruses. Only this, nothing else.

They were brought up in normal conditions within the framework of a conservative education. I believe that this is how it should be with children; otherwise, you still fall under other currents that today have no direction, but just follow wherever the current takes them.

Question: According to Kabbalah, what I see outside of me is my own reflection that I see through the prism of my egoism. If I am annoyed by someone’s qualities, then these qualities are in me. Could it be that I am a reflection of another person’s quality for him?

Answer: Naturally. Each of us sees not another person, but his own reflection in him. This is what is said in the primary sources. You do not see the other, but you see him in your perception, and it is good or bad for you depending on your habits, mentality, etc. You do not perceive him, but you perceive him as a correlation of him and yourself.

The world is a reflection of your desire. All that you see is your desire outside of you.
