Question: Does a person who is engaged in spirituality experience all states consciously or unconsciously like in our world?

Answer: One wants to experience them consciously because one’s existence and movement depend on it. There is nothing unconscious in spirituality at all. If you made some kind of movement there, it means that before that you thought about it and decided to act on them.

Question: It turns out that in our world, all physical, biological, and other processes occur as if on my behalf, right?

Answer: Yes, because we are not aware, we do not reach such a level to be able to be aware.

Question: Does it mean that we are still in some kind of intrauterine development? Even on a psychological level a person is not aware of much. Some kind of program automatically operates inside him.

Answer: An ordinary person does not know where he lives, how he lives, for what, or what the goal and the purpose are.

Question: And what is the point of that?

Answer: Gradually, these feelings accumulate and lead to the fact that a person is dissatisfied with one’s life and begins to delve into its source, and thus one approaches the Creator.

Comment: It takes millions of years!

My Response: It does not matter. Nature has time.

In our world, Jews are carriers of a spark of light; therefore, people subconsciously hate them: “There is something peculiar about them, something about them is not right. They are not like all other people; they are like a special race or space aliens.”

And in fact, it is true. After all, there are fragments of sparks in them, which are opposite to the egoism of an ordinary healthy person. Therefore, on the one hand, people are drawn to them; on the other hand, they hate them.

From this, they inflated an entire system, anti-Semitism, and everything else. Why? Such is the difference in qualities! In our world they are the only ones who have a spark of light.

These Jews are still trying to convince everyone that they are like everyone else. But this spark is embedded within you, you cannot cut it out with any surgical instruments! You have something that others do not have. Other people are obliged to hate you because this is an opposite quality, it is not from our world at all!

Therefore, until the same quality is manifested in all people, anti-Semitism will exist. That is, on one hand, it is impossible to destroy these people, this tribe, this practically Kabbalistic group, because they have an upper purpose: to transmit the highest state to the entire world.

On the other hand, as long as they do not realize their mission, which they themselves do not suspect, anti-Semitism and hatred for this quality will not pass. They must reverse it, but not for their own sake.

Anti-Semitism somehow drives them to this and catalyzes the process.

Comment: Let’s say I see some negative qualities in a friend and understand that they are in me. But at the same time, he sees negative qualities in me and realizes that they are in him. There is such a duality.

My Response: I do not advise messing with this; this is already a philosophy! We do not have enough internal tools to take in the secondary, tertiary, and other sensations. It is impossible. This is the next level of knowledge.

In order to feel this, the light needs to reveal within you its overall control. You yourself cannot understand this with your mind. You do not have to try to understand anything with your brain at all. It will only confuse you.

You need to tune in so that the light creates the sensations of the second, multi-layered level in you. But this second level is not just an enlargement of the first. It is an introduction to the n-dimensional space in which the absence of time, movement, and place immediately makes it closed and round, without beginning or end.

All kinds of earthly measurements, time, distances, higher-lower, more-less, and so on, begin to disappear in it. This cannot be described in our world, in the qualities that a person has at our level. It is impossible to describe.

In the News: “Tesla CEO Elon Musk has a ‘super bad feeling’ about the economy – so much so that he’s directing company executives to freeze hiring and cut staff…” (NPR).

“Elon Musk welcomes global recession: ‘it’s been raining money on fools for too long’ …  Some bankruptcies need to happen. (The Guardian).

My Response: Ultimately, of course, to bring the world to a healthy and correct distribution, with balance, proper payment for labor, and the right labor, a great deal of the things we have done must be destroyed.

How many schemes have we twisted between us, and all these judges, lawyers? A change in our relationships, when we cleanse them of all all that is pretentious and unnecessary, when all the stock markets and law offices fall, and so on, and so on, then all of this will acquire a completely different foundation, a healthy foundation.

Question: Are you drawing direct connections between us or all sorts of concocted things and production? As soon as these connections become corrected, all of this space will start to be cleansed, right?

Answer: Yes. Even if we removed just the insurance companies from our world, the world would become different.

Question: Will we be able to remove it by simply having more direct relationships?

Answer: Of course, yes. The very name “insurance company.”

Comment: Yes, I insure myself to the fullest; if something happens, then… And when will they fall, these companies? Won’t it simply happen by changing the law and saying that there are no more insurance companies and that’s all?

Answer: I don’t think it will fall quickly and decisively. It depends on man’s disillusionment in this life.

We have to undergo very serious distress and reassess our values. Only then will we reach a decision about what we need in this world and what we don’t, to such an extent that in that decision we will be at the degree of life and death, eternity and death.

With these kinds of problems and when we wish to change them, then we really will be able to start rebuilding our world.

Question: Will we reach a sort of simple decision as a result of all these deliberations?

Answer: The decision is very simple: how can we rise above death. Because all of these insurance companies, everything there is are just how I can make things safer, fulfill them.

Question: Yes. They are founded on death, actually. And here everything will be founded on life, yes? Meaning it will be based on how can I rise above death, right?

Answer: Yes. Therein lies the basis for the existence of all these companies, and in general, the social relations we have concocted over the last century.

Question: And when I desire this, to rise above death, then I will gradually be cleansed of all of this?

Answer: Yes. Everything will go! The threat of war and all of these competitions in general will go away.

Question: When you say rise above death, what do you mean by it?

Answer: Rising above death is ascending above egoism. And it is such that I do not care about the relation of death and life; it is when I see an eternal flow in this.

Question: It is known that the whole reality is divided into ten Sefirot, which in turn are further divided into ten, and so on. Does this mean that all over the world there are some places similar to Jerusalem, Lake Kinneret, and Galilee?

Answer: No. Kabbalists divide the whole world only into the land of Israel, then into Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Babylon.

These lands are under a special spiritual influence, descending as I named them: Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Babylon, i.e., today’s Iraq.

All other parts of the earth are practically on the same level and spiritually absolutely lifeless. But when people from there begin to rise to their spiritual root, then, as it is said, the land of Israel will begin to spread like shagreen leather over the entire territory of the globe.

Comment: You say: “Jordan, Syria…” It turns out that the current enemies of Israel, the countries that would like to destroy us, are the closest to Israel. Everything is upside down in our world.

My Response: Because we are upside down. As soon as we return to our roots, correct ourselves inversely, the correction of our neighbors will immediately occur. We should not expect any change from them until we change ourselves.

Let’s hope that first of all we realize this, feel this, and implement this.

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “Why are people scared of black cats?“

People’s fear of black cats, shying away from broken mirrors and attributing dark and ominous signs to all kinds of events in our lives, such as Kyiv residents recently doing so in relation to huge flocks of crows that passed through their skies, have their historic folkloric origins.

However, we need to progress beyond assigning any special importance to such phenomena.

We can do so by replacing such signs with positive signs, such as the demonstration of positive attitudes to each other.

If we emphasize the growth of positive mutual attitudes and the achievement of “love your neighbor as yourself” in human society, then such a condition would cover everything else. Then, whether we walk past a black cat, a broken mirror or myriad other superstitious phenomena that we might be careful with, our attraction to achieving a strong positive human connection would cancel out any of those influences.

Based on the video “Crows Over Kyiv – An Ominous Sign?” with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman and Oren Levi. Written/edited by students of Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman.

First of all, we must reveal who we are, that is, that we belong not just to the inanimate, vegetative, and animate world, but to the global system of nature, which is all integral, connected, and interdependent. We exist under the control of one force that acts on us from above without asking us because it has a predetermined program.

Even before we appeared on the degree of this world according to its decision, it was already planned that we would depend on each other as one man with one heart in order to reveal these connections. Precisely because we are so different, disconnected, distant, and opposite, but we yearn to connect above all our differences, we assemble from these opposites a mechanism that will be called “Come and See” (Bo-Reh), the Creator.

Since we are created beings, we advance by revealing everything from the contrast of opposites, like black on a white background; otherwise, we would not be able to examine, study, and perceive different qualities.

Therefore, the further humanity develops, the greater separation we feel, and eventually we start to hate and repel each other. Development always takes place along two lines: left and right. First, the left line is revealed: dislike, hatred, and enmity. Then we realize the essence of creation, its correction, and that the Creator alone controls the two lines, both left and right.

Then we begin to come closer to each other and connect to such an extent that we become like one man with one heart.

All corrections take place in two stages: the left line and the right line. This is how the heart beats; it operates in two directions: pumping blood and pushing it out. If we act in this way without interrupting the stream flowing in both directions, in and out, inside the heart and inside our life, then only in this form do we feel our reality and the reality of the Creator, and in this movement we feel ourselves and our life.

Therefore, we have to work on connecting into one ten. Although each of us is able to perform only one partial action, we still work together like parts in an engine that perform different functions but for the sake of one goal, one action, and a common result.

This is exactly how we need to see the world Kabbalistic group, as one body where everyone is focused on the purpose of creation and everyone is ready to do everything to reach it to the extent of their understanding of their role, feelings, and the abilities given to them from the general system of creation.

Therefore, the main thing is to connect for common action. In this connection, no one is similar to the other, but everyone is working to reach a common goal. We are very different in this work, and the differences will only increase. This is how the disciples of Rabbi Shimon at first did not feel the differences between them, and when they advanced, they sometimes wanted to kill each other.

So, as we develop, we discover our confrontation and opposition, the distance between us. But when we reach connection, we reveal in it all the qualities of the Creator and all of His nature from the side of creation by becoming like Him and merging with His nature.

Therefore, the path of correction is connection in one ten, a correct union. By completing each other in the ten, everyone reaches perfection. The Creator builds out of us the structure of a man, Adam, similar to Him. This system becomes such that the Creator dresses into it and is revealed to all parts of creation, to all souls. This is His purpose in relation to all created beings.

After the connection we reached at the congress, no matter which parts of the world we go to, we should feel like parts of the same body that are completing each other. We need to be connected with each other like a mother who feels her children and what is happening to them even if they are far away, and she thinks about them all the time. Our connection must be even stronger because we belong to a spiritual body.

If we yearn for such a connection, we will reveal the upper reality that exists in an eternal and perfect form above this corporeal reality that is revealed within us now.

How hard a person perceives his state depends on his understanding of what goal he is moving toward. Then he will have no problem going through any state as long as it leads to a good result.

I think we understand what is happening to us and what should happen. The difference between a bad and a good state is in fact only in the quality of the connection between us.

If the connection is good and correct, then everything goes smoothly like a stream flowing freely through unclogged pipes. The main thing is that there should be no blockages in them and that no one blocks the access for the others, but on the contrary, wants to tie them together and connect them.
