Question: What is logic?

Answer: Logic is a clear sense of the cause and effect connection between phenomena.

Question: But the spiritual seemingly does not conform to logic?

Answer: It is the spiritual that is built according to the most rigid, clear logic. Our world, on the contrary, is absolutely illogical. You just got used to it and are inside of it. It is a small world, a small mind, and so it seems to you that everything is logical here, like a small child for whom everything, so to speak, is logical: this is a toy, this is a car, etc. Everything is in place.

But if you dig a little deeper, nothing is clear, nothing can be understood. There is no logic either in us, in our life, in our communication, in our actions—in anything.

The biggest lack of logic is the fact that we exist. What is the point of living if it all ends, if all the little pleasures are so much less than the efforts to achieve them? Where is the logic if I spend 99% of my efforts and nerves striving to get 1% of something?

In general, where is the logic in a person’s life, in his actions? What is he clinging to? To his protein existence? What does he do in life? He creates a family, gives birth to children. For what? Only to their detriment. What do they have from this life except suffering?

We put an absolutely illogical existence on a pedestal as something special. Life! We praise it, we sing about it! But if this life is devoid of the great meaning of connection with infinity, then it has no meaning. Fools are all who live just like that!

But in the spiritual world, precisely in connection with the penetration into infinity, there is logic, there is a sense of the continuity of existence, a connection with the truth—the force of the world that holds this world and the upper world and leads us to a state above time, movement, and place, which means it is higher than our small, closed, limited world. Even during your earthly life, this force reveals a completely different universe to you.

Question: Should Kabbalah be disseminated in a form that can be perceived by a person?

Answer: How else? By studying the technology in our world we know that there must be an adaption of signals by which they pass through various communication channels.

Therefore, they adapt both to the source from which these channels originate and to the consumer. We transmit everything through very high electromagnetic vibrations.

As a result, the speaker speaks, and the listener picks up everything at the same frequency as the sounds come from the speaker. That is, we must adapt ourselves to the person so that he receives all the information in the form in which he can understand it.

Question: What is better for dissemination: when a person attains the spiritual degree and descends from it to the level of all people with his new qualities, or is it while he does not yet feel spirituality that he can disseminate this information more efficectively?

Answer: Both are good, after all.

What can a person who has no contact with spirituality at all convey? Compose some kind of smash hit or something? But if a person is in spirituality and has composed even if not a smash hit, but a good song and everyone has accepted it, then to this extent people already consume some spiritual energy.

Comment: Let’s say a person is filled with energy more and more and at some point reaches a peak where he can no longer keep it in himself, he suffers from it. Then, the only solution is to transfer this energy to another.

My Response: But the capacity of his vessel is very small.

Question: Can the need to transfer energy to the other be analogous to the quality of bestowal?

Answer: That is why bestowal is the source of reception since through it you attract new desires to yourself. They become yours.

Question: What is the correction of a Kabbalist who is already outside the body?

Answer: A Kabbalist exists in the general system of the universe and works in it. In this vast field everything is interconnected into one single organism in which rigid connections between its parts, like between cells and organs of the body, are constantly updated, overflowing, and changing. All this leads to the revelation of the overall system.

Question: What is the further goal of this system? What will happen when it is fully corrected?

Answer: I am not aware of such a state. It is not described anywhere. There are some hints in The Zohar, but these are just hints. Kabbalistic sources describe only part of the path up to the end of correction, and we do not know what exists after it.

There is a completely different reality that is corrected and perfect, which even Kabbalists who have not reached this state cannot understand. They say in general terms that such high states, properties, and laws begin there, about which we know nothing.

Question: Why does a person have such a quality as criticism?

Answer: It is just egoism.

Comment: As a rule, everyone is inclined to criticize others, not themselves.

My Response: This happens if you are in your usual egoism. If you strive to connect with others, then you begin to criticize yourself, whatever in you is the opposite of connecting with others.

If you want to advance to the goal, you have no other choice. You have to set a goal and a means for yourself, and criticize everything that is against it.

Over the years since the appearance of the Hebrew language, its writing and grammar have remained unchanged. But the sounds have undergone various changes, as has its pronunciation since it depends on the person in our world.

The real pronunciation, which consists of guttural, whistling, and hissing sounds, has been lost by us. Today we practically do not produce, express, and understand the five types of sounds: palatal, dental, throat, labial, and cheek.

And they are very important. The same sound uttered by teeth, lips, cheeks, palate, or throat has a completely different meaning depending on which of the five parts of the soul it belongs to: Keter, Hochma, Bina, Zair Anpin, Malchut.

It all depends on how we exhale air, how we pump it through the throat. After all, the throat is a combination of Malchut and Bina.

When Bina descends from the head (Rosh) into the body (Guf), a throat is formed at the intersection of the human and animal levels, and huge changes occur there, which are the combinations of the qualities of Malchut and Bina. That’s why we don’t use any of it all.

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “Does being against the State of Israel automatically make you antisemitic?“

Jews bear the method to positively connect above society’s myriad divisions and conflicts, but they themselves are unaware of it.

The more divided human society becomes, the more humanity needs this method of connection.

There exists a subconscious feeling among people worldwide—some feel it more while others feel it less—that Jews possess this method of connection, and that they hold it back from humanity.

Of course, this feeling does not become iterated as clearly and directly as… “Hey, you Jews hold a method of connection that you’re unaware of, so please start using this method you possess to positively connect among yourselves above your divisions, and then the positive connection you discover will spread outwardly to everyone, everywhere, and then we can all live happily ever after. Oh, and also, then we won’t hate you or your State anymore. On the contrary, we’ll have total love and respect for you, because then you’ll bring a whole new feeling of harmony, peace and happiness into our lives!”

People feel that the Jews hold a certain “something” back from them, which can let them live much better lives. What are those “much better lives,” and what exactly should the Jews do? Neither humanity in general knows, nor do Jews.

Nonetheless, nature gives everyone besides Jews that feeling—that Jews have something that they hold back from world, which is behind the world’s various turmoils.

Over the course of 2,000 years of Jewish exile, such sentiment was dressed in myriad accusations against the Jews. Today, however, after the establishment of the Jewish State—the State of Israel—then a key part of antisemitism stands out as “anti-Israelism,” i.e., varying degrees of resentment against the State of Israel.

Antisemitism thus has several faces. Some people feel more antisemitic, while others feel more anti-Israeli, but both feelings stem from the same root. And behind these negative perceptions of Jews and Israel is a feeling that the Jews have a certain “something” that they hold back from the world. Jews themselves are clueless as to what it is. Only the Kabbalists among them actively and consciously engage in the method of connection. If the Jews will reveal the method of connection to humanity, then both antisemitism and anti-Israelism will indeed disappear from the face of the planet, and in their place will emerge a newfound reverence for the people who impact unity, harmony and peace throughout the world.
Based on the video “What’s the Difference Between Being Antisemitic and being Against US Support of Israel?” with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman. Written/edited by students of Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman.

The wisdom of Kabbalah explains those spheres in which we are not yet in our sensations. It tells us in advance what we should come to. The greater the force of bestowal and love for the other you acquire, the higher is the sphere to which you will rise, and you will feel more and more comfortable, eternal, infinite, and perfect.

Kabbalah explains how the system of the universe is arranged. In principle, it is arranged very simply, on the combination of only two forces—reception and bestowal. But since this system is not revealed to each one individually and I do not feel that I have some kind of force of bestowal or reception, I do not contact them and do not operate with them, so it is difficult for me.

For the individual this is purely speculative. But if you take psychology, it will also begin to explain such things to you. In principle it explains to you about you, but you do not discover it in yourself, and therefore everything seems very complicated to you.

Kabbalah is the closest science to us. It speaks about our soul. What could be closer? The human body is a temporary piece of flesh. You can transplant organs from one person to another and do whatever you want with it.

The soul, however, is mine constantly, forever. I identify with it. I am the soul and not the body. Everything in the body can be changed; everything can be replaced except the soul.
