Restriction Is A Condition For Attaining The Creator

226The feeling of the Creator regarding souls is perceived as infinity. This is a connection between worlds, souls. But infinity is the highest level and it remains so.

We try all the time to graduate our relationships so that we perceive them in certain doses, and in accordance with them we will call our states steps.

We will already be able to somehow communicate with the Creator, that is, give Him names along these degrees, along these boundaries, because we limit His image toward us.

If I say “father,” “mother,” “high,” “low,” “kind,” “evil,” and so on, I limit my perception, somehow define it, and thus I can talk about something. Otherwise, I have no other states, except for some unclear admiration, which also disappears. We cannot imagine the state of unlimited filling.

Although the Creator has a great desire to delight the created being, and we relate to Him as a source of infinite fulfillment, knowledge, and sensation, we must limit ourselves toward Him, make a restriction on ourselves and go further, putting forward certain conditions in order to define Him within some boundaries, limits.

We exist in the Creator even now. But where is He? We do not feel Him. We can begin to feel Him only if we limit our perception. We have a restriction, then a screen, then striking, a certain amount of light.

Only to the extent that we can give to the Creator can we receive from Him. This is the only way!

Otherwise, all sensations disappear. They can only be in a limited amount, which can increase more and more.

We can achieve an infinite sensation, but it will be in an infinite sensation.

Pay Attention To Nature’s Actions

laitman_531.02Question: We talk about many problems and catastrophes and the possibility of even greater misfortunes that may befall the world. What can you say that is kind and optimistic to people who follow what you do, listen to what you say, and read what you write?

Answer: I would advise all people to pay attention to what nature is doing to us.

Nature is a living entity that generates and incorporates all of us. It is higher than us in degree, so there is nothing in us that does not happen from nature. So we need to pay attention to what exactly it requires of us.

Do not treat it with contempt, as something inanimate or at most vegetative and animate, but as a higher being, understanding that it acts reasonably, selectively, consciously, in order to bring us to the next level.

Nature has developed us from nothing, from zero, brought us to our present state, and leads us further. Let’s not assume that we have already completed our evolution. We must come to its very last state, to complete interaction with each other and with nature itself. This is a step we must take now.

This step we can take either under the influence of brute force of nature, or intelligently, consciously. I think we’ve come to that. Now everything depends on how we explain this possibility to all people and lead them after us.

Question: It means, not only does humanity have a chance, but you believe that it will take advantage of this chance and be able to find the right decisions and right actions?

Answer: Of course.

Will Online Communication Lead To The Severing Of Social Ties?

laitman_962.8Question: Now everyone is talking about the emergence of online professions, in particular, a digital transformation. Everyone learned how to use Zoom. In general, a large-scale digitization took place in two months.

How can one remain a full-fledged member of society if, in online professions, you will constantly interact with a computer, with numbers?

Answer: I do not see any problems here. Many of my friends, despite the coronavirus, continue to work from home. Most of them love it. And the enterprises themselves like it too because this is a big budget saver.

I think that the majority of enterprises will develop in this direction. A person will work from home.

I also switched to such a job. Previously, up to 500 or 600 people gathered in our center every morning, not counting those in different parts of the world who connected to our broadcasts. And for the last few months I have only been teaching online, and I must say that the number of people is only constantly increasing, and everyone is happy with it.

Question: Do you think that the severing of social ties due to online communication will not happen?

Answer: I think, on the contrary, new, correct, good social connections will appear. And breaking past ties is only for our benefit.

Why Are We Easily Influenced By Society?

laitman_423.03Question: All people are conformists by nature. They are more willing to follow society than to show their independence.

Renowned psychologist of the 20th century Erich Fromm writes: “Most people are not even aware of their need to conform. They live under the illusion that they follow their own ideas and inclinations, that they are individualists, that they have arrived at their opinions as the result of their own thinking—that it just happens that their ideas are the same as those of the majority.”

Why are we so easily influenced by society?

Answer: Because we are entirely a result of the surrounding society. Completely! And what can be one’s own in a person?

Remark: It may be an illusion, but everyone feels like an individual.

Comment: This is given to us by nature. And then what?

Remark: Ask any person and they will say, “I made the decision to go to this country. It was I who decided to acquire such and such a profession,” and so on.

Comment: Of course, he made the decision. And so everyone thinks. But where did this decision come from? What is it a consequence of?

If we dig, we will get to the bottom of the fact that a person has nothing of his own.

Can We Start With A Clean Slate?

627.2Question: Many people ask if it is possible to change your life in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, to start from scratch? Is it possible to change your family or profession? There are women who really want to change something in their lives, like their profession or marital status, but they are afraid of being judged, afraid that they are violating God’s commandments to accept, to tolerate, and to forgive.

Answer: Let’s put your thoughts and principles in order.

First, it is impossible to change your destiny. You just need to reveal it and try to realize it correctly. This way, you become equal to the Creator, as if you are His partner.

He created you, embedded in you an informational record of all your states up to the most perfect final state, and now you want to grow in the way that lets you, together with Him, realize yourself.

And it turns out that you do become His partner. You begin to understand why this is happening to you, to others, and to the whole world. You begin to attain this whole world in action through yourself.

This is a work of one who is aware of one’s individuality, one’s uniqueness. This is what we strive for. Kabbalah explains this and helps you live this way.

Why Are Good People Given A Hard Fate?

laitman_565.01Question: Why are good, righteous, pure people given a heavy lot in life, hardships related to coronavirus and all similar events, yet what’s happening in the world does not affect bad people at all?

Answer: Our egoistic world is so distorted that to think that good people should get only good things in it and bad people, bad, is absolutely incorrect.

If good people, who seem to strive for good, sometimes get an evil fate, the blows of fate—this is quite natural. After all, our world is all egoistic and evil. And that is why, there is nothing good to expect from it, especially now, when we are beginning to enter the last stage of our correction, accompanied by a pandemic.

Now there will be such turns that will teach us constantly how to change ourselves correctly in order to be in line with the increasingly manifested integral world.

Question: But can we somehow prepare for this, make some kind of prophylaxis?

Answer: “Prophylaxis” is a good word. I will tell you one thing: We are engaged in this prevention.

The point is that a person must adapt to the future world that is now being born. For this, we must become less egoistic. Therefore, the current virus will shake us and make completely different people. Moreover, by any means, both rough and delicate, depending on how we will succumb to it. This is  first.

Secondly, we need to learn how to unite above our egoism, despite it. It is very difficult.

Everything begins attaining our nature as evil along with the yearning to reach a correct, good relationship between us.

We are entering such a state now when the forces of nature will educate us very seriously.

If A Woman Studies Kabbalah

laitman_570Question: What if a woman starts studying Kabbalah and develops spiritually, but her husband does not, should she stop studying?

Answer: No, you can’t stop it. If you are given the opportunity to develop yourself, your soul, in no case should you stop. Just do so without reproach to your husband.

Tell him that this is your hobby, which makes you feel very good, and it is better to have spiritual adventures than to look for some adventures on the side. He’ll agree to that.

Question: What if he insists on my stopping the studies?

Answer: Why? If the wife is interested in, say, esotericism, something spiritual, he can even brag about it.

Comment: A man is afraid that a woman will change, outgrow him in development, and leave.

My Response: He may be afraid, but we need to make sure that he prefers it over something else. A man always wants his wife to be nearby, to look at him and serve him. Therefore, we must show him that this is exactly what he achieves.

Comment: But as a woman, I can’t influence a man’s choice. After all, to develop with me and grow spiritually will be his own choice.

My Response: Sure. In the spiritual, it is impossible to force anything. Therefore, it is said that in the spiritual there is no coercion, everyone studies as much as one can, as much as one wants. Maybe he doesn’t want to study Kabbalah, but prefers yoga or something else. So be it.

You need to allow another person to do such things through love. There is nothing wrong with this, he still remains your partner, your spouse.

Communication Through The Creator

935Comment: You write: “People are looking for connections incorrectly. The connection between us is possible, but through the Creator.”

My Response: Yes. The Creator is nature around us. Only through this connection with nature, the Creator, can we truly reach the next level of existence, begin to feel eternally alive, connect to the eternal source, and become like It.

We will feel ourselves existing not in this mortal temporary body, but in the soul, that is, in the spirit between us. And all this is possible. I hope we get there pretty quickly.

New Life 1168 – Fantasy And Supernatural Powers

New Life 1168 – Fantasy And Supernatural Powers
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

When a person adapts to the characteristics of the higher power, one gains supernatural power and control over the movie of one’s life. People yearn to have more control and we develop through related fantasies. The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches that there is an ideal state in nature toward which everything is drawn and teaches us how to reach it by learning how to summon supernatural forces and feel a perfect state in nature. The general power in nature is called the Creator, God. Being like God means knowing both the good and the bad forces and how to use them correctly thereby attaining freedom.
