Question: It says that the whole world was created for man. So why doesn’t a person feel that?
Answer: We don’t feel that the whole world was created for us because we don’t want to feel it because it obligates us.
If a person constantly thinks about the fact that he or she is responsible for everything that happens in the world, they will feel very bad. So why would you need this headache? A person naturally looks for a quiet spot.
But gradually, as a result of one’s work, a person begins to feel that the whole world is a projection of your internal attributes. One sees it in front of him, like on a white screen, and thus accordingly begins to feel that he is responsible for the world. [240404] From KabTV’s “Fundamentals of Kabbalah” 11/4/18
Question:Today everything is based on vocational training. Value-semantics or spiritual-personal guidelines are practically not used anywhere. Why is it not taught?
Answer: I believe that in our time we have entered a state where we begin to feel changes in nature. However, humanity has not yet absorbed it within.
Until now, it is not nature that has changed but its individual parameters within a very narrow framework. Today we begin to feel that the very attitude of nature toward us, the meaning and content of its effects upon us, is changing.
This is why we need to understand deeper why it changes, what happens to it. We seem to find ourselves in a slightly new environment every day, and we do not know what to do with it.
In other words, nature affects us every day in a different way, not the way it used to. This is not just an increase or decrease of temperature, pressure, humidity, and other parameters, but a change in the attitude toward us. We do not get it yet. Even if we do get it, we do not know how to react correctly.
We do not really understand what can be useful for us, what can be harmful, and how to be connected with it whatsoever.
Let us say I had my own company and I understood how I should behave with the employees, why we get together, what we do, how we work, and how we fill our leisure time. Suddenly I feel that their attitude toward me is changing in many aspects, but I do not know what to do about it.
I ask them, but they do not say anything, and they seem to behave as usual but, nevertheless, it seems to me that it is different. Suddenly some problems appear and I do not know why and from where. It seems that they do not require any new relationships, but it somehow matures by itself. This is the state in which we are now with nature.
I feel the way I previously acted toward myself, toward the surrounding society, and toward nature is not enough anymore. I need to choose some other mechanism of influence upon nature, another language of communication with it.
It is necessary to acquire such abilities in order to understand how to decipher the tendencies of nature and its impact upon us. After all, nature is the upper mind, the upper program, and not just some physical laws. This is why a person with ordinary sensory organs, with ordinary skills and abilities cannot decipher what it wants from him or her. [272125] From KabTV’s “Management Skills” 7/24/20
Confucius: “Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.”
Before taking revenge, I would dig one grave. Dig a grave for yourself, for your soul, because your egoism remains and will dance and have fun on this grave.
Question: That is, all arguments are always with myself?
Answer:Of course. [272479] From KabTV’s “News with Dr. Michael Laitman” 7/27/20
If a Klipa (egoistic desire) exists between us, that is where viruses can enter. But if there’s a space for holiness between us, a good connection to one another, then no harmful virus will be able to enter inside. That would be against nature’s law.
We must establish a connection between us around the entire globe. This will protect us, fill us with confidence and joy, and raise our immunity against the #Coronavirus and all other #diseases. No harmful agent will be able to get close to us, for everything depends solely on our connections.
We are born in this world, the worst of all the worlds. Let us rise to a better state! The Creator wants us to be in joy, so that, through unity, we would achieve absolute good, the upper world that is full of light and devoid of evil. The Creator draws closer when the group is brimming with joy and good connections.
We shouldn’t fear being distant or disconnected from the Creator. Even now we are in adhesion with Him, inside the Creator. So now, out of this state, let us build on the sensation of being close with the Creator, the desire to cling to Him with our hearts and minds, with all our thoughts. Nothing changes except for one’s conscious awareness.
We shouldn’t try to fight our desire—we’re never going to succeed in opposing it. We need only to ask the Creator, and everything will work out. We want the Creator to open within us the quality of bestowal, that is to reveal Himself. Then man will become like the Creator.
When the ego (desire) dies, I stop demanding for myself and become free. My eyes open, as well as sensations I hadn’t felt before, which were blocked, and I begin to sense the upper world. We need to rise above the ego through our unity, and ask the Creator to give us the force of bestowal to be in adhesion with Him.
We are eternal creatures! But we don’t feel it, as we’re locked in a tight cage that is this world. In all the universe, there is no place worse than the world we live in. Let us not be content with it. Let us awaken and look up! We must escape the authority of the ego—which aims to devour more and more—and reveal the true life.
When we find ourselves in the flow of the light of faith, it wraps us from all sides and transports us from state to state. We see other dimensions in the light of faith: not three dimensional coordinates, but an infinite number of dimensions. A round, integral world that has no end, above time and space.
There exists a spiritual reality above our world. We don’t feel it, don’t know it, don’t want to come to it. In our world, everything happens between egos-desires, with each pulling toward itself. In the upper, spiritual world, everything is the opposite: each tries to act for the benefit of the other. This is the antiworld. From Twitter, 10/26/20
The point of an action is measured and evaluated only according to its intention. The intention to give more brings a person closer to the Creator, while the intention to receive more removes him from the Creator.
And in the middle between the intention to bestow and the intention to receive is a neutral, zero point from which a person decides where he is: in the spiritual or in the corporeal world.
The entire spiritual world operates in the intention to bestow, and as soon as we act egotistically, we immediately feel the corporeal world. How much to give and how much to receive is not so important anymore. The main thing that puts us on one or the other side of the border between spirituality and corporeality is our intention.
The main test is in what a person is yearning for, not how strong his desire is. A change of intention is like changing the car gear from forward to reverse depending on which I move forward, toward the Creator and the creatures, or backward.
The intention depends on where my heart is directed: outward toward others, toward the friends and through them to the Creator, or to myself. This determines where I go. Do I work for the Creator or for myself? Do I move toward my friends and through them toward the Creator or do I draw closer to myself? All this depends on the intention, and only after on the desire that obeys it.
To test the intention, one must distance himself from the action itself so that it becomes unimportant, and the main thing is: for whose sake am I doing this, and who will benefit from it. This determines whether I am in the Creator’s world or in my own world, in my shell.
The intention, directed outward or inward, divides my reality into two parts: a part that relates to me, meaning “I,” “mine,” and a part outside of me, meaning the friends and the Creator. If I want to exist in the Creator’s world and not in my small, animal world, then I must constantly check the direction of my thoughts.
The Book of Zohar says that people with an egoistic intention have their eyes looking inside themselves, they are completely blind and do not see the vast world around them. They cannot imagine anything but this world, and so they live in it and die.
This life is given in order to change the direction of one’s gaze from oneself outward and to reveal the world of the Creator called the upper world. And the lower world is the one that we see when we look inward at ourselves and care only for ourselves.
I must check where the vector of my thoughts and desires is directed—toward me, toward my benefit, or toward others and through them toward the Creator? That is, where is my heart reaching?

Michael Laitman, On Quora:“How has covid19 changed the future of humanity?” The longer we endure the coronavirus pandemic, the more we undergo changes that have a major impact on our future.
At the beginning of the outbreak, many thought that COVID-19 was going to be over in a matter of weeks. Weeks soon became months, and today, it has become a lot clearer that it is not going anywhere anytime soon.
The pandemic’s relentless perseverance to continue its worldwide spread is tiring and upsetting many people. Our pre-coronavirus lives, which we ran on a competitive consumerist treadmill, came to a halt, and more and more people have found themselves with no future worth striving for.
In such a slumber-like state, some react explosively in riots and protests, and others become quietly depressed, but a general fatigue has expanded throughout humanity. Indeed, there are also risks that people will rise from the pandemic in wars, both within and between countries.
If people have no clear perspective and purpose in their lives, not knowing how to navigate their lives into the future, then the lack of a hopeful vision gives rise to sensations of powerlessness and helplessness.
However, with regard to our future, our lives were quite similar in pre-coronavirus times. That is, we were playing an egoistic-consumerist game, and our main preoccupation was to simply keep playing it. Most of us were not very focused on where our lives were ultimately headed. Now, it is as if nature confiscated our game, and we feel that we cannot earn and spend ad nauseam as we once did.
How, then, can we advance from here?
Since the coronavirus has made it all the more taxing to take care of ourselves, then perhaps this despair will urge us to arrive at a decision where we will need to take more care of each other.
Our powerlessness, helplessness and dissatisfaction in our personal lives might just be what we need in order to change society’s modus operandi, where instead of looking out for number one all the time—me, myself and mine—which gives rise to an array of negative sensations, we will instead be able to find true fulfillment, strength, happiness, and a reason to live, if we support one another.
Then, when we start living our lives not for our own sake, but in mutual support and consideration of each other, we will see life differently.
We will discover a fresh new purpose to our lives, as we will come closer to aligning our relations with the global and perfect interconnectedness existing in nature. Such a calibration between us and nature would resuscitate us with completely new sensations of livelihood, high spirits and energy, which we currently cannot even imagine. We would then replace the egoistic-consumerist child’s game that we played leading up to the coronavirus with a new game for adults: our active participation to upgrade human relations in order to reach balance with nature.
Question: You constantly speak about the method of the circle as a method of creating strong connections between people. The product of the action in the circle is a positive force of nature.
What is it about? You say that this will be people’s work in the future. What will they produce?
Answer: Generalization, connection, and unification of people, which will lead to the integration of all of humanity. And this is currently the biggest and the most important job of all people in the world.
Remark: Imagine a country where people at work and in the family use round tables and thus generate good, kind connections.
My Comment: This is the actual product of their activities. They don’t have to do anything else.
Question: And some of them will get paid for this?
Answer: They need to ensure a normal existence. It is quite possible that a certain part of society, half or even more, will be engaged constantly in organizing such actions for mutual connection in the form of circles.
Question: Do you think it will be possible to verify this with some measurements or research?
Answer: Everyone will be convinced that it is this connection between people that leads to abundance, to the fact that they can have everything.
Question: In other words, the effects of the product we are talking about can be measured in the economy, medicine, and everywhere else?
Answer: No problem. All this can be measured. [271419] From KabTV’s “Management skills” 7/9/20
New Life 481 – The Relations In Leadership
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi
Those who come to power are more egoistic than anyone else and must step on others in order to feel alive. People who have different interests will be able to cooperate only if there is a higher common goal. A good example is an external threat like war but a great, Godly reward can also unite people. Nature’s plan indicates that we are parts of an integral, global mechanism and that all of humanity needs to evolve to a state of mutual harmony, complementation, love, and eternal joy in the here and now. The key is to learn to “love thy friend as thyself” and become as one man in one heart. [150689] From KabTV’s “New Life 481 – The Relations In Leadership,” 12/23/14
