A person’s desire for the Creator is usually indicated as a black dot, line, or circle on a white background of the upper light. When there is a mutual influence of a person and the Creator, to the extent that they can complement each other, a person with his desire to feel the Creator and the Creator with His feeling on a person, mutual properties arise between them.

There are only 22 such properties. They are called the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. There are also additional letters, not capital ones, as in other alphabets, but final ones, the so-called “Mantsepach.”

There are no periods or commas in Hebrew. There are only 22 letters that express the descent of the upper light into human desires.

There are many different methods to draw the surrounding light on yourself, even when you are alone. The more so when you are in a group by studying and any kind of work for humanity, but only real, correct, work when you disseminate Kabbalah and help people.

Light leads a person to the realization of the evil of his egoistic nature and it evokes his desire to correct himself. It is the light that leads him to an inner prayer for correction. And when it is carried out, he begins to feel the inner light.

Everyone who feels the upper light begins to develop within this upper light, as if his spiritual eyes are opened. As we see in the sunlight, so the Kabbalist sees in spiritual light. He attains another side of the universe that shows him everything that exists. It is hidden from others, but not from him.

In our world, a person who is enjoying himself does not ask the question: “What is next?” He simply enjoys himself until he gets empty and again begins to strive for fulfillment.

And in spirituality, on the contrary, he is looking for how to properly and kindly influence others and the Creator. Based on the fact that he is overwhelmed with a feeling of goodness coming from the Creator, he wants to continue this transmission from himself to others.

Question: Are there periods when a baby senses everything from end to end?

Answer: No, this has nothing to do with the corporeal body. This is said in a spiritual sense, when an infant is called a person who is ready to rise above itself and become included in the upper domain because one is completely ready to obtain the property of bestowal, the second property of the world that is concealed from us.

We live in the world of reception, absorption, swallowing, and capturing, and we have to cross over to the world of bestowal and fulfillment of others, to living in the desires of others.

If we can cross over to this system, then our first state there will be called a “spiritual embryo,” development in the form of the spiritual embryo. Then, once we completely reject our egoism, we will be able to see everything in this world from end to end.

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “How does a good supportive connection work?“

A good supportive connection works when we share the good and the bad with others, and then we feel the burden from the good and the bad as more moderate and bearable. By doing so, we gain the strength to continue living. There is a saying that someone who visits an ill person takes a part of the illness upon themselves.

If we support each other, then we share an inner connection in our desires, because we are made of desire. If our desires are connected, we pass the fulfillment that exists in the desire to each other. A desire is like a vessel, and if we support each other, then it is as if we pour the fulfillment that exists in the desire into each other’s vessels. Whether the attitude is toward an illness, life, children or anything else, each person in a good supportive connection gains a mixed kind of fulfillment as a result, which gives us the strength to take more weight onto our shoulders.

Through such supportive relations, we integrate with each other, and include several people into our connection. We can then live our lives through others.

The one who gives support builds a copy of the other person in himself, which gives him the ability to grow. That is, the one who provides the support in such a connection finishes building himself on the current degree, and he can then rise to the next degree. He receives more importance in life and in what he does. He then has more strength to develop as a human being in the fullest sense of the term, i.e. as one who is positively connected to others and who feels not only his own individual life, but the life of a much wider circle of people connected together.

Based on the video “How a Good Supportive Connection Works” with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman and Oren Levi. Written/edited by students of Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman.

Question: We’re talking about true love. There probably is such a thing as true hatred, true confrontation.

How can one work with this second part that goes along with love? Does a person need to pay attention to it?

Answer: Yes, it is necessary because all the negative qualities arise in us precisely so that with their help, as we rise above them, we can go to the realization, sensation, and development of connection and love in us.

In the News (“Harvard Developed AI Defines the Shortest Path to Human Happiness”): “Researchers have created a digital model of psychology aimed at improving mental health. The system offers great personalization and recognizes the shortest path to a cluster of mental stability for any individual. …

“Deep Longevity has published a paper on Aging-US outlining a machine learning approach to human psychology in collaboration with Nancy Etcoff, Ph.D., Harvard Medical School, an authority on happiness and beauty. …

“The article describes an AI -based recommendation engine that can estimate a person’s psychological age and future well -being based on a developed psychological survey. AI uses information from a respondent to place them on a 2D map of all possible psychological profiles and take ways to improve their long -term well -being. This model of human psychology can be used in digital self -help applications and in therapist sessions.”

Question: The model gives recommendations on how to live to be happy. Do you believe that this is possible?

Answer: No. What is happiness?

Comment: Scientists assumed that a person would be healthy, for example, would feel good, and would have money…

My Response: So will they be able to do that?

Question: Artificial intelligence gives a person recommendations on how to live. And he follows these recommendations. And he feels: “What state am I in? Am I happy or not? Oh, I feel good now,” I will follow the next recommendation. Thus, I live by recommendations. Is it possible to live life like this?

Answer: No, because, as it is said, human nature is egoistic from the beginning. And that’s why he only thinks about him feeling good compared to others.

Question: Does this additive ruin everything?

Answer: Sure. One cannot feel happy if others feel as good as he does. At least a little less. This is nature! There’s nothing you can do!

Comment: Then basically it’s a failure, because if everyone is happy next to me, I won’t have a feeling of happiness.

My Response: Of course. How can it be? Everything on the same level? Then I lose any feeling that I am happy.

Question: What needs to be done to make a person happy?

Answer: To make others less happy. This is what is being done now with the help of wars. If others are less happy, I already feel happier. Everything is perceived only in comparison.

Question: So this artificial intelligence, in theory, should program everything so that you will be happy when you see that others will be below you? I will do my best for you to see it?

Answer: Yes. If we had such glasses to make us feel that way, it would be great. Everyone would walk around, look down on each other and not understand: “Why are others looking down also? Why are others smiling? I’m above them in everything.”

Comment: This is a great patent for our world! How about ideally, on a high score?

My Response: Ideally, when you take care of others, this will be your destiny and a sense of happiness. And then no one will bother you. You can make everyone happy. And so each of them can also make others happy. Meaning, I feel good from doing good to another. This is the only way it can be implemented.

Question: Can artificial intelligence reach such a turn?

Answer: It will break down doing this. The machine will break down.

Question: Yes, this won’t fit in it. But is humanity advancing to this one way or another?

Answer: It is coming to the realization of evil, but not to the solution of the problem itself.

To solve this problem, they will have to come to Kabbalists. And then they will discover on a whim from above that there is such a way out, such a teaching that lifts them to another level, to another nature, to the quality of bestowal, love! And they don’t need anything else besides that. With the help of this new nature, they will build absolutely everything!

Comment: A few thousand years ago, the spiritual method was such that a person could reveal the upper force through great suffering and their justification. Since the time of the Ari, another method became relevant—the need to develop the screen. There is no longer the need to suffer because that method did not affect the increased egoism.

My Response: In the method of the Ari, by reading about the lights, the screen, the ten Sefirot, and the interaction between them, even without understanding what is written about, a person draws the surrounding light upon himself, which begins to build a screen in him. And gradually, through it, a person begins to connect with the upper world.

With this method, you can achieve the opposite of egoism (qualities of bestowal and love), get out of the ego, and begin to feel the opposite quality of nature.

Question: Baal HaSulam who based his methodology on the system of the Ari, wrote that when one pronounces the names of lights and Kelim (vessels), the person evokes the surrounding light because he seems to remember what is written about his soul. What does this mean?

Answer: The fact is that a person wants to achieve such states that speak about the quality of bestowal and love, qualities that are opposite to his egoism. By striving for this, he attracts upon himself a special illumination, a special force. He arouses the forces that are very deep within himself.

Therefore, by striving for the opposite, that is, restricting himself in everything and giving out all he has to others, he brings himself to rise above the egoistic nature, which, in fact, is not so important to him, and moves toward the altruistic nature.
