Question: When you began to study with Rabash, you were still in the ordinary perception of this world. Did it not seem strange to you that he talked about the spiritual world?
Answer: Do you think he told me a lot?! Very little! Basically, we talked at my level about the methods of spiritual work, the dissemination of Kabbalah in the world, and the ideas of Baal HaSulam. I could not speak at a level above myself because I did not understand anything in it.
It is the same as in any science! How can you tell a first-grader what he will study in the next classes if he still does not have this knowledge at all? And here one needs not just knowledge, but attainment. That is, he will talk, and you will not understand what he is talking about.
Now I also say things that do not affect you. But I say them. It is recorded. Later you will use the archive.
Comment: In principle, you and Rabash studied TES (Talmud Eser Sefirot), which can be structured.
My Response: It can be structured, nothing more. But from this structure, you begin to slowly extract some principles for yourself: how the light influences the desire, how the desire influences the light in return, what combination occurs between them, and the play of one with the other. The most important thing is the influence of the study on you.

Question: Does jealousy have a root? Where does it come from?
Answer: In our world jealousy comes from the egoistic feeling of “I have this, it is mine, and I receive pleasure from this, but no one else does. Do not take my bone, or I will bite you.”
But as soon as I become indifferent to this object, let others grab it, take it, and tear it apart into shreds, then I am no longer interested in it. And if it does interest me, then it is only from my point of view so the other person will not feel better than me.
Spiritual states are built only on the combination and mutual participation in receiving the upper light. The female part cannot be without the male part and the male without the female one.
Question: Is there no such thing as jealousy in spirituality?
Answer: What is jealousy? Jealousy of whom or what? There is jealousy only of the Creator.

Question: What is the power of thought and how can we use it? From the Kabbalist’s perspective, what should one think about every moment?
Answer: The power of thought is very great because with it we can bring big corrections into the universe, into its forces and their interaction with each other. This happens only if we direct the entire power of our heart to the good connection between people. Then it multiplies many times. In this way, we begin to correctly awaken all forces of nature.
Question: What is so special about the power of the heart?
Answer: The power of love, the power of kindness, the power of good connection.
Question: Can a person awaken it or generate it within himself in any way?
Answer: Yes. He can awaken this power within himself; connect it with the powers of other people, and in this way advance toward the improvement of the world.

Question: Why is it harmful to gossip and slander?
Answer: There is nothing more harmful to people than bad thoughts, especially words. Their presence, development, influence, and interference is very harmful to the world. The most useful thing is to be silent.
Question: You said that sometimes your teacher Rabash spoke to himself and explained that his words should go out into the world. What power was there in the words he used?
Answer: The words that come out of a person, especially a person such as Rabash, have a very great power in influencing the world.
Well, for any person, including you and me, what we say flies away from us into the environment, and this affects everyone and everything.
Question: What is the best word to say more often?
Answer: Love.

Question: Is the ordinary suffering in this world not enough for us, must we add suffering to ourselves by yearning to reach the upper world? Does it mean that by embarking on the spiritual path, a person doubles his sufferings?
Answer: Yes, you multiply your suffering in order to traverse this path as soon as possible! What else can push you forward?
However, we are not sent suffering from above, we by ourselves need to reveal the suffering of love within us.
The reforming light causes us the sufferings of love for it, and we rush forward driven by these sufferings, and not by life’s sufferings like animals who are beaten, do not understand anything, and run away from the blows of fate.
Therefore, from above they are waiting for us to start acting. But we think, well, we can wait until help comes from above and everything is arranged by itself.
But what kind of help can come from above besides the sufferings of the corporeal world that will make us move forward?!
If you are included in the group, you will get spiritual sufferings and you will start moving faster.
This is a feeling of spiritual emptiness, the sufferings of love. Then there will be no need to push you with ordinary sufferings.
If you yourself are yearning to move forward at the speed that is determined for you according to your initial spiritual data, your Reshimot, then there is no need to push you by a “stick to happiness”.
However, if you already rise so high that you connect with all the other souls, you begin to suffer for them, as a mother suffers for her children. Therefore, it seems to us that Kabbalists also suffer in this world.

Comment: When a person begins to study Kabbalah, he goes through various stages including one when he is fanatical about what he is doing.
My Response: He is like a little child because little children are fanatical too. The child gets used to his pacifier, to his chair, to his rag, or toy, and he cannot tear himself away from them. This is a sense of security, confidence, belonging, and a sense of something that he lacks, i.e., a purely psychological help.
Why is he holding on to all these external objects and external customs so much? From the point of view of psychology, they mean a lot to him. Look, people wear a red thread on their arm. Is it good or bad? It just helps them calm down a little and gives them confidence that everything will be all right.
On the other hand, this, of course, prevents them from moving forward to become a grown-up person and not remain a small child who depends on a red thread. This is a lie, as are, in principle, all other psychological practices.

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “Do dogs help autistic children?“
Autistic children tend to withdraw and find it difficult to communicate with people around them. They feel lonely, and dogs are indeed one way to help them.
Autistic children often develop special relationships with their dogs, patting, hugging and taking care of them with patience and devotion.
What does a dog give an autistic child that human beings do not?
When a dog gets used to a person, it is willing to accept them as a superior, both as owner and as friend, without considering whether or not they are autistic.
The dog is no friend at the level of empathizing with the child’s distress, but there is a common feeling and sensitivity between the child and the dog.
It is this sensitivity that human relations are greatly lacking in our present-day world.
We can thus learn from dogs the importance of increasing our sensitivity to each other. Dogs feel a lot, demand a lot, and they want to be loyal. The latter, however, is the main trait we can learn from dogs: loyalty—to our friends and to our owner, i.e., to the laws of nature that guide our every desire, thought and motion. The more loyal we become to caring about others and developing an attitude of giving, similar to nature’s giving force, the more we would balance ourselves with nature and experience more harmony, peace and happiness fill our lives.
Based on the video “What Do Dogs Give Autistic Children That Human Beings Don’t?” with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman and Oren Levi. Written/edited by students of Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman.
