#Antisemitism always comes as a mandatory element in the development of a society. As it rose up in #Germany amid the defeat in the First World War, so it rises today in the native #Europeans against the background of failings in #economy, #politics, and in public life. #europe

One must believe that the Creator is happy when he asks the Creator to come closer to Him through equivalence of form, for one’s desires to acquire the intention of bestowal. To this, the Creator says, “They have defeated Me”: I gave them egoism and they persuaded Me to change it to the will to bestow.

A person becomes an embryo when, after many rejections from the Creator and attempts to cleave to Him, he accumulates the passion and drive necessary for adhesion (copulation). Through multiple attempts, the yearning becomes whole—and that is when adhesion (Zivug) happens.

The importance of the spiritual state is when it is “close to zero,” meaning to man’s complete annulment of the “self” above his growing ego, when he does not wish to determine the states in his spiritual life, but completely liberates his “self” into the Creator’s authority.

Everything is filled by upper light. We are inside it. But only in the place where man’s desire becomes similar to the quality of light, bestowal, the light comes through in that desire. Before such a desire is revealed in man, the light is concealed and comes through to the extent that the source of light, the Creator, is exalted.

Baal HaSulam: The world is mistaken to think that #Nazism came from #Germany. It is rather a product of #democracy and #socialism that were freed from #religion and #morality. Hence Nazism will easily emerge in Anglo-Saxon societies in which democracy and socialism develop.

The spiritual embryo (Ubar) means you see everything that happens, but in spite of your understanding, you accept everything as coming only from the Creator, allowing the Creator to do everything to you as He deems necessary (Lemala Mi Daat). I thus become an “embryo”—the smallest, first spiritual state.

The desire for “freedom” has estranged #Europeans from their roots. The EU is being alienated from its #history and #culture—from itself.
#freedom #europe

The #EU‘s problem is agreeing to violence and justifying it. This resembles an epidemic, heralding an overhaul of #social foundations. Western ideals do not provide any defense against barbarity and are self-destructive.

Readiness to rise above the material, to come to terms with it, is a prerequisite for entering the spiritual world, the first spiritual state called conception (Ibur). Of course, every spiritual state begins from corporeal darkness, the complete loss of the previous state and subjugation to it.

The group should help with overcoming this disturbance because the group is in a spiritual state, it cancels the former corporeal state, which therefore appears dark, black. It is help from above that we see it this way and are forced to connect with the friends to make efforts at a higher, spiritual level. In this way, we reach the first connection between us and, to the same extent, contact with the upper force.

If we try to unite in one heart, then we unite with the Creator into one whole. The first contact with the Creator is called spiritual conception (Ibur), the beginning of spiritual life.¹

Spiritual conception (Ibur) is also built on subjugation, but even more rigid when I completely nullify myself before the upper one in everything without taking my feelings and opinions into account. Simple subjugation does not demand solidarity with the upper governance from me, only lowering before it.

In the state of the embryo (Ubar), I myself want the upper one to take control of me and I am ready to accept any of His leadership. I want the mind and heart of the upper one, His understanding, awareness, and attitude to life to get inside me, fill my desires, and reformat me again. I lose all my previous settings; what remains of me is only the material and my entire program comes from the upper one. This is not just subjugation, it is its next stage.²

Spiritual conception (Ibur) is subjugation at a higher level, complete devotion of the soul. I pass myself to the upper one and am honored to begin to develop inside him as an embryo (Ubar).³

The spiritual embryo is complete self-annulment before the upper one, before the power of bestowal, Bina, and readiness to accept everything that He will do to me, whatever may happen.

Subjugation is acceptance of the state that has already been revealed and for which calculations can be made with sensations known to me. Embryo (Ubar) is complete self-annulment, when I nullify myself in advance and agree with the unknown, with everything that will happen in the future; that is, I advance with faith. The power of Bina helps me to nullify myself before the upper one in this way.⁴

The work of the Creator begins with the fact that I completely nullify myself and ask the upper one to start working on me. Due to this self-annulment, subjugation, humbling before the property of bestowal, changes begin to occur in me, desires of bestowal are formed, that is, a drop of spiritual seed begins to develop.

Preliminary readiness for such a state is already built in us since it existed before the shattering and left a record (Reshimo). There is no coincidence here, all the stages are strictly determined step by step, and everyone will return to one’s root.

It is only in corporeal life that we can feel lost. In spirituality, all states are set to the last detail and change by absolute laws according to the information records left during the descent of the soul from top to bottom. We must go back to the root through the same steps.

Therefore, we can be certain that there can be no accident or error here, and we will surely pass all the spiritual stages: the stages of conception, the small state, maturation.

Everything is already planned, all we are required to do is only to help every action with our preliminary desire, our demand.

We do nothing by ourselves—everything is done by the light, this is the work of the Creator. We only need to understand how to invest our “half-shekel” so that the Creator will complete the rest of the work. I do what depends on me and the Creator completes, each time in the same way, step by step. Therefore, it is impossible to get completely lost; it all depends on how clean and faithfully we try to go.⁵

Question: What is the point of freedom in me and how was the Creator able to make it free of Himself and from everything He predetermined?

Answer: Each of us has, beside our ego, a point in the heart called “a part of the Creator from above.” Therefore we are drawn to Him, we want to attain Him.

The people who have this need can feel the point in the heart, and that is why they try to connect between themselves to reveal the Creator.

New Life 1094 – Concealment And Revelation On Purim
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

The state of Purim comes to the people of Israel many times in history in order to inspire us to fulfill our role. Queen Esther represents Malchut, the concealed mechanism managing reality. Haman represents the evil force that wants to control and use others. Mordecai represents a small positive force of connection and love between all parts of reality. The Megillah describes the way to locate our evil and progress to the perfect good.

Egoism will never agree with the fact that it is the Jews’ own fault that others abuse us. The religious people also won’t agree with it. Only those who understand the structure and program of the universe can understand what is happening in the world, the root of #antiSemitism
…. and recognize that unity of #Jews is the solution to the world’s problems.

#Jews hate those studying authentic #Kabbalah more than non-Jews since it obligates Jews to correct #egoism. This hatred for Kabbalists is natural, instinctive—just as non-Jews feel repelled by Jews. By correcting our attitude to Kabbalah, we will eradicate #antiSemitism.

I write about unity of #Jews so they will be liberated of #hatred. Our war isn’t against anti-Semites, but against the Creator, who called us His children and then rejected us since we have separated from Him. We shouldn’t fight the #Antisemites, but the egoism that separates us.
Then the world will calm down.
#antiSemitism #egoism

Always remember that the Creator’s goal is to fulfill the creatures. If objections arise, an opportunity arises to work for the sake of the Creator. Rather than seeing the objections as harmful, see them instead as making room for efforts—place them into bestowing intentions until a Kli for receiving light appears.

A person doesn’t reach adhesion with the Creator in his first attempt, but through many rejections, in order for him to develop the desire for connection with the Creator, suffering that turns into pleasure.
The Creator counts his efforts until he reaches the necessary strain for the adhesion.(Baal HaSulam, Letter 19)

The essence of our efforts to reveal the Creator is to link everything that happens to us to the Creator. One who fails to do this, it is as if he rejects all the worlds created for the revelation of the Creator to man.
Therefore, it is necessary to see only the actions of the Creator in everything that happens. (Baal HaSulam. Letter 18)

Until a person reaches the first degree of revelation (the first similarity with the Creator), his learning and connection with the group worsen his condition, his concealment: this way the Creator wants to draw him to Himself in order to accelerate his efforts.

The most difficult in spiritual work (to reveal the connection with the Creator in similarity) is the first contact with Him (Baal HaSulam. One Commandment).
Therefore, what we are studying now in our lessons is so important and
one must not simply repeat but re-experience the lessons several times.

The balance of forces is the basic principle of nature. Thus, the flap of a butterfly’s wings causes a reaction on the other side of the world. This principle calls for only using what is necessary for survival.
Otherwise, we are stirring up the forces for restoring the balance by destroying the excess.

As a result of the descent of the worlds, our desire to enjoy is getting increasingly remote from the Creator, passing through restrictions, filters, splits, and various concealments along this path. Having reached this world, the desire to enjoy finds itself behind five worlds (Olamot)—concealments (Alamot), that is, in the worst condition.

This world, which is mentioned in Kabbalistic books, is the lowest of all possible spiritual states, and our corporeal world is even lower.

The desire to enjoy descends the steps of all the worlds and reaches a state in which it materializes, turns into matter; it loses all connection with the upper worlds. Therefore, it does not matter in which material, animal body a person who wants to attain the spiritual world exists. His arm or leg can be amputated or an organ from another person absolutely remote from spirituality can be transplanted in him, but this would have no effect on his spiritual attainment.

One might wonder how you can lose your right hand if, according to spiritual laws, it relates to bestowal and you always have to start from the right side. However, our body is a simple animal, absolutely unrelated to spiritual attainment. Of course, it has its own important function because it is given to us so that we can begin our spiritual development by expressing our own desire to attain the Creator.

Love cannot be forced. Otherwise, it would not be called love but “calculation.” Therefore, the Creator could not create us with a ready desire to love Him. That is why we were forced to descend to this world completely detached from the spiritual system and to begin the way back from this point.

Existing in an animal body now in our own world, isolated from all spiritual worlds and from the Creator, we must begin to develop our own desire to love the Creator as He loves us. If a person has a point in the heart that awakens him to this, then he can feel that someone is calling him and begin his journey back to the Creator.¹

The ten is the basis of the universe’s structure, as a cell of the organism that is the source of life. We do not understand that by entering the ten we open the gates to the upper world. Then, we see that our present state is imaginary, existing only in order to provide us with the opportunity to enter spirituality on our own, by our own choice. We must want to develop and become equal to the Creator by ourselves. All previous corporeal life will lose its meaning.

Everything produced by our hands, feet, and mouth, actually does not exist. We live in an imaginary world. Our real life begins only in the ten and beyond, and this is what remains with us forever. So, let’s decide whether we want it or not.²

Question: Is the energy released during the loss of strength or with the emptiness we experience during the descent used somewhere?

Answer: Definitely.

Question: Does the law of conservation of energy apply in this case?

Answer: Absolutely. Moreover, in our world, this law almost does not work. We do not know where everything disappears, we just make assumptions that this is how it happens in nature. Actually, all energy vanishes, goes into black holes, etc.

However, in the spiritual world, nothing disappears because there is a clear connection between Malchut and Keter. Everything happens within these ten emanations. It is an absolutely enclosed system.

Question: Does that mean that all my efforts to get out of descent, all my energy invested there, does not disappear?

Answer: Do not worry, everything finds its place, address, and justification.

New Life #181 – Leadership, Part 2
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

The first government in history was founded by Moses in the desert. What qualities characterize a leader and how can Israeli society become one family in the spirit of Moses’ leadership?

An Israeli king is chosen according to his ability to lead others toward love, connection, and sharing. Each leader is concerned with how his tribe can complete its part in the general system. He asks the question, “How can we help everyone?” Representatives help the “people of the power” who “fear God” to build a transparent, integral, education system. A healthy head that functions according to the laws of nature must be formed. The leader knows what the next step is in order to create stronger connection.
