The Mission For The Next 200 Years

laitman_294.1Question: Why does the Creator need us to attain Him?

Answer: To make a person equivalent in form to Him, to raise a person to His level, and also everyone else, not at the same time, but gradually. We need to achieve this goal in the next 200 years.

Question: Does this mean that we have to resemble the Creator in “His image and His likeness”?

Answer: In His image and in His likeness refers to the same form of bestowal and love, connection with others, as the uppermost attribute of nature, called the Creator.

Question: Do we have to reach this level of development while we are in our corporeal body?

Answer: Yes. Of course, this is not easy, it is a complicated supreme task, but we must strive for it.

Dissemination Is The Key To Unlocking The Point In The Heart

laitman_527.06Question: How can I determine if the point in the heart exists in someone among people in my environment? What are the signs?

Answer: According to his state, according to his search in life.

Personally, I would always take a book with me to work, open it, and read it. They would ask me: “What are you reading?” I would show it to them. People would begin to read it, and if they would show interest, I would leave them the book. Then they would return it to me. So, this is how I began to spread Kabbalah. That was in the early ’80s.

Today you have enormous means to disseminate with and tell everyone about this science. So try it. This is very noble work because a great light will penetrate them through you, and you will absolutely clearly feel the result of your actions.

On The Threshold Of Attainment

laitman_214Question: There are four degrees of understanding the Torah in the abbreviation PARDES. How can we understand Kabbalah without understanding them?

Answer: The fact is that we are not studying actual Kabbalah yet, which represents these four levels of understanding the Torah, the world, and nature.

We are just starting to develop our tools for understanding, knowing who we are, how we perceive reality, how we can influence ourselves, etc. We are yet to reveal all the levels of attainment: the still, vegetative, animate, and human levels.

In the meantime, we are outside of them because we talk about attaining the internal structure of nature: its structure and the mechanism that manages everything.

But in principle, we are climbing the steps described in the Torah from its secret to its simple understanding.

A Complete Surprise

laitman_571.01Question: If we unite and feel mutual rejection, but we continue to overcome the rejection, does the feeling of the Creator above the hatred appear all of a sudden as a complete surprise or does it happen gradually?

Answer: This feeling is prepared internally in several stages and then it is revealed. What is more, just as it happens suddenly, it can also disappear suddenly or gradually fade away. These revelations differ from one individual to the next.

Question: Does each one have his own revelation?

Answer: There are several typical ways of revealing the Creator for the first time, and then a person already summons it himself by the actions he performs.

Coronavirus Is Changing Reality, Part 10

laitman_278.03What it Takes to Defeat the Coronavirus

Question: As a Kabbalist, do you see the blows awaiting us, I mean the ten Egyptian plagues, that is ten blows on the egoism of all of humanity? What lies ahead?

Answer: We do not have to go through all ten blows. We have already been through them in the past, and therefore, they cannot be as powerful today as they were in Egypt.

We need only a few serious hints, to be pricked like a donkey that is prodded with a sharp stick to make it go forward. We need this incentive in order to advance correctly.

I hope that maybe this virus in addition to our explanations will be enough. It is quite possible that humanity is already able to draw the right conclusions in some way.

Here, a lot depends on governments. They are the first who start to think seriously about it because the virus affects the entire economy.

Question: What advice would you give governments?

Answer: I would advise them to become smarter and understand that humanity’s development is not in their hands; therefore, they should listen to what the Kabbalists say.

Question: What about people who are now sitting at home in isolation? What should they do?

Answer: I wish for people to understand that positive relationships are the best, surest, and only medicine that can lead us to goodness and well-being.

Question: In other words, people who stay at home should simply understand that the plan for the development of nature is in the correct connections between us. It is nature that generates problems and disasters at all levels. And from us all that is needed is a mutual reaction. If there is a reaction, the problems decrease; if there is no reaction, the problems and pressure increase. Did I understand correctly?

Answer: Yes. We just need to get closer to each other in our feelings in a good way, and that’s it. Good luck to all of us in this!

Nourished By Spiritual Energy

laitman_565.01Question: After several years of studying the wisdom of Kabbalah, there are those who are happier and who are doing better at work, but on the other hand, there are those who become sadder and nothing in their corporeality makes them happy. Does it depend on a person’s character, or is it about a person’s level of development, and a person gradually changing?

Answer: A person undergoes many different states, so I cannot give you one definite answer to this question. We all change all the time. Everything depends on the society that we live in. We constantly undergo ascents and descents. What is more, if we carefully guard ourselves and know that we have to undergo states of ascent and descent, we have to organize the right society that will lend us a hand when we are in a state of descent and will seriously support us and pull us out of any state of descent to a state of ascent. This means that everything depends on the society.

Question: If that’s the case, a person can be happy even in a state of descent since he knows what to expect in the future.

Answer: Of course. If you understand that the descent was given to you in order to ascend in the future, there is no problem in rejoicing during the descent. The system works like a capacitor or any other device of accumulation. You operate in a certain spiritual regime, accumulate something, and then everything disappears, and so you must connect to the society in order to be nourished by it.

When this period is over, you will begin to ascend again, and to attain and accumulate again, and so on.

This means that it is according to different periods that you have to give spiritual energy to the environment, or the environment gives it to you. And thus, in these sequential periods, in this sinusoid, you will advance.

Why Should I Act By Myself?

552.02Question: Do we need to learn to act in front of each other?

Answer: Yes, we need to learn how to act as actors on the stage, to understand the elements of the game, to play along with each other, to inspire one another. It really affects us.

It seems to me that I see my friend acting, or maybe I do not understand at all where he is playing and where he really is. This doesn’t matter to me at all. To me, it is important to get inspired by him so that I myself aspire to the goal, even in a make-believe way.

Question: Can a person act by himself?

Answer: Of course. I know who I am and how selfish I am. Therefore, I want to act with myself, that is, to elevate myself higher.

Question: The fact is that we constantly act: in the family, at work, and in the spiritual group where we want to develop. We act out the principles that the Kabbalists wrote about in order to achieve the goal within such a group.

Why should I act by myself? Shouldn’t I be honest at least with myself?

Answer: You can be honest with yourself and act at the same time, knowing your two levels: one is “Me,” and the other is “Who I want to be.”
