Cracks In The Heart

527.01Why did the coronavirus appear? Due to the fact that there is no correct connection between all the elements of creation, at all levels: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human.

Where a connection should already appear, according to the general program of development, that moves us toward the end of correction, but it still does not exist, from these places of rupture, like from cracks in the walls, viruses crawl out.

Viruses are the will to receive that should have been corrected by now, but which we have not yet corrected. That’s why these viruses appear. We try to fight them at all levels, in all forms, but in reality, we have to treat them at the highest degree where they manifest, that is, at the human degree.

Besides the fact that the coronavirus harms our health, even worse, it leads to our distancing from each other, closes workplaces, kindergartens, schools, and so on. In those places where the virus has a negative impact on human society, we need to make a correction through our correct connection.

We cannot stop the epidemic by putting on masks, hiding in our homes, closing schools, kindergartens, and cinemas—all this is not required. We just need to make a correction at the highest degree, that is, in the relations between people. Let’s begin to correct ourselves by making the correct connection with each other, and by doing so we will neutralize the coronavirus. It is written, “Love will cover all crimes (that is all viruses at the human degree).”

Then we will see how, with the help of the most powerful weapons, we begin to put the entire creation in order from above downward, more and more, until these viruses disappear from the lower degrees: from human bodies, from animals, from absolutely everything. This should be the level of our impact on all the problems that we reveal in nature today; all correction is only through our unity.

Through our connection, we will caulk all the cracks from which viruses, these little vipers, come out, and the epidemic will stop. The disease is getting more acute day by day, but there is a cure!

Who Does The Virus Hit More – Men Or Women?

198Comment: The coronavirus has hit almost everyone: presidents, ordinary people, from fisherman to academic. Millionaires, not understanding what is happening, sit all locked up.

On the other hand, statistics show that twice as many men as women die from the coronavirus. There are many different explanations. Women supposedly have a better immune system and are less addicted to bad habits. How would you explain this?

My Response: I think men are more attached to and more responsible for correcting the world than women. They are more opposed to integral nature than women. They are more selfish. Therefore, to this extent they are more affected by the virus.

Question: Are men more selfish than women?

Answer: Of course. In its manifestations regarding nature, the surrounding society, etc. Women are still more likely to share, somehow balance. Their inner animal essence is like this. Not so with men. He is a conqueror, he is all about competition, and so on. So, the virus refers to them more. Therefore, they are more susceptible to viruses, weaker. Women are stronger. I think this is clear to everyone. A woman’s body is much stronger, much more resilient.

Question: Is it because they have this warmth, home, birth?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And the men have belligerence, hatred, and a desire to kill, capture?

Answer: This is a different kind of egoism. Of course.

Comment: You said something very important. Men have a greater responsibility to the upper system, to nature.

My Response: Yes, to become like it precisely because they are more egoistic. This is a very complex system, and it is impossible to begin examining now to what extent women and men are the opposite of an altruistic nature each in their own way.

Reasons For The End Of The Consumer Society

laitman_540Comment: Some economists claim that the consumer society is coming to its end. The first reason for it is lack of trust, which seriously inhibits trade and economic relations.

My Response: But this can be overcome.

Comment: The second reason is environmental pollution since we do not yet have enough technology to process all the waste that we produce.

My Response: Who cares about this? If there is enough technology, it will be possible to produce even more.

Comment: The third reason is limited natural resources.

My Response: Nobody is interested in this either. We will find them. Let us fly to the moon and bring them back from there.

Comment: The fourth reason is growing inequality between the poor and the rich. Even in the post-coronavirus period it can be seen that the rich are getting richer. And everyone has huge egoism, and people are unlikely to tolerate it.

My Response: Of course they will not. The rich will have to pay a certain percentage of their huge income to buffer the discontent of the poor.

Comment: The fifth reason is uncertainty. They say there is a term “wealth effect.” Even people who have money are afraid to spend it because of the uncertainty so the consumer economy is coming to its end.

My Response: There is nowhere to spend! Offer them something so that they can produce it and make money on it.

Comment: They are afraid to spend money because they do not know what will happen with employment tomorrow. There is no confidence in the future.

My Response: Then these people are not really rich. A rich person is the one who has practically unlimited possibilities to cover more than his vital needs.

Comment: The sixth reason is the development of technology, which will lead to an even greater division of rich and poor, and correspondingly, to unemployment.

My Response: Of course, since there is no consumption. Therefore, big wars periodically occur. But today they are very expensive, and no one knows how they will end.

In principle, once wars solved problems, but today they do not because there are no borders: go where you want, live where you want. You can buy any passport. Therefore, there are no objective reasons for wars. Only religious, ideological wars remain.

Question: The seventh reason is a change in man’s internal needs. In your opinion, is this the main reason?

Answer: Yes. It kills everything else. This is the end of the consumer economy.

Now the virus is destroying a huge industrial jet that has been driven by tourism and travel. Hotels around the world, planes, cruise liners, guides, and huge masses of goods associated with this industry, all this no longer exists and will not exist. People do not want to wander around the world. There is nothing to entice them.

Something will have to be done with thousands of unnecessary planes. Maybe take them somewhere to the desert. They say they can be kept well there. And what will come up there? A museum of our era? But you cannot get away from this. It is just over! We need to understand that we cannot build a new world with old tools.

Interweaving Our Desires

253The revelation of the Creator is possible only if we are connected and become integrated with each other, intertwining our desires like woven cloth. Like a shuttle runs on a loom passing the thread once above another thread, then under it, so our desires are intertwined. Each one enters between the others, once above them, and then below them, like in a tightly woven fabric, and so we build a connection between us in which the Creator can be revealed.

The Nation With A Special Plan Of Development

419Remark: After the exile from Spain and flourishing in Germany, Jewish communities in the 16th century moved to Poland, Little Russia, and the Baltic states. Until the middle of the nineteenth century, Jews lived in closed communities, united by one language, one trade, and one religion.

My Comment: The fact is that the development of the Jews does not happen in the same way as other nations. Throughout history, they constantly needed to care about how to come to unity and show this method to all the nations of the world. This is the essence of the Jews, their purpose, the reason for their existence.

After all, this is not a nation, but a collective group of all the nations of the world, which was assembled in Ancient Babylon by Abraham who brought them out of there and made a single nation out of them.

However, since they do not have a common biological root, they very often fall apart and move away from each other. If the idea that unites them from the inside is not manifested in them or they are not pressed by enemies from the outside, they do not feel close to each other.

According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, this nation has its own development plan.

For more on this topic, read my books Like a Bundle of Reeds: why unity and mutual guarantee are today’s call of the hour, and The Jewish Choice: Unity or Anti-Semitism, Historical facts on anti-Semitism as a reflection of Jewish social discord.

Why Don’t Jews Understand Why They Are Hated?

448.9Remark: You have been talking about the need to unite for decades, and there have been no changes. There are not even any hints that someone hears and supports it.

My Comment: The fact is that a person hears only when he sees benefits in. After all, we are egoists.

A person must see that if he does not urgently engage in the introduction of the method of correction into this world for all peoples, then he is finished, enormous suffering will befall him. If everyone who belongs to Israel does not understand this, it will be bad.

Question: Did the Jews not suffer enough? And it helped them with what?

Answer: The point is not that they were killed, burned, or tortured, but in the realization of evil. This is a big difference.

An accumulative process is taking place. Sometimes it is enough to just prick a person, and he will say: “That’s it, I understand.” Because this prick shakes him up, and it is followed by the realization of evil. Otherwise, he does not see or understand why people hate him, what they want from him.

Talk to Jews today and they will say: “People hate us because we are lucky, we know how to get settled, we are smart, we can get rich, we can do anything.”

Unfortunately, no one knows the roots of anti-Semitism. Jews have no idea why they are hated. They believe that it is out of envy, “What can we do if people are jealous of us?” However, envy is not the only reason. Take everything away from the Jews and they won’t stop being hated. We see it.

New Life 1158 – Development And Movement
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

What we feel is inside the body; however, it is possible to feel life within the soul. We must move from imperfection to perfection in order to feel more fully alive. Internal, conscious movement allows us to absorb other higher dimensions of life. By exiting and rising above oneself, one acquires a new concern for others and begins to desire to fulfill others. What gives beauty and magic to the upper world movement is the fact that it is unlimited. When we can feel what is outside of ourselves, we become spiritually free.

Base For Creating A Family

79.01Question: If earlier the basis for creating a family was to provide the necessary needs for a person, today, when all these needs are met, it is necessary to look for a higher goal for creating a family. What could be such a goal?

Answer: I don’t see it in the modern world. Neither does humanity. However, the science of Kabbalah states that the family is necessary in order to be like a higher power. The obligation to create a family, give birth, and raise children is dictated to us by the higher necessity, so that we become like the Creator.

Since we are not animals in the sense that we do not have the instincts that guide animals and because we can regulate the problems of families independently, we must bind ourselves to certain values. They come from our similarity to a higher force of nature.

Question: The Creator is a property of bestowal that develops all of nature. Therefore, in order for this property to manifest in me and I could understand where it can be applied and in relation to whom, I must have a family. I learn this instinctively in my own household, and then I can apply it to other people?

Answer: Yes. And then correctly transfer it to the whole society.

Agreeing With The Teacher

604.01Question: If I do not really understand what the teacher tells me or I do not agree with what he says, does it interfere with my receiving the light through him?

Answer: You need to accept everything the teacher says as the absolute truth, and at the same time scrutinize it, because if you don’t agree with something, you must understand it and agree, since this is the reason that you develop.

No one is forcing you to close your eyes and agree with the teacher in advance, but you are called upon to accept his perspective and reach the state in which you will attain it and agree with it. If you begin to see flaws in it in advance, you will not advance.
