We’re running away from ego, Pharaoh’s slavery, to become free from him! To learn to bestow, work with the light above Pharaoh’s rule
The escape is the first anti-egoistic screen,
Egypt remains in me, but I come out of it and its rule and build the land of Israel by turning ego to love.
If we don’t agree to remain in egoism, if we hate it and try to come out of it, we reveal its power over us and that we are in exile from the spiritual state—connection. One that doesn’t wish to build mutual guarantee reveals Pharaoh as being good and doesn’t wish to run away …
… from him—that person is Erev Rav!
All our energy goes toward avoiding thinking about it, replacing it with worship of health—the new religion.

We live in a field of connection that binds us together. We can’t see it, and yet it influences every aspect of our reality.
The more powerful a force is, the less it is apparent to the naked eye. In fact, the strongest force known to physicists today is the strong nuclear force, which is effective on distance scales that are a million times smaller than an atom.
Similarly, Kabbalah explains the natural forces that are even less apparent to us, and even more powerful. Such is the network of human connection: We are constantly activating it, yet we don’t realize it exists.
Today, the dominant influence in the network is that of division. We continuously radiate it from our innate human egoism. We spread a negative influence throughout the network, which manifests in hostility on the surface. As a result, many of us feel increasingly anxious, threatened, and lonely, while other are preoccupied with hating for no reason, fighting for their survival, or cursing on social media.
But we can tilt the balance by producing a positive force within the network. To do so, we have to consciously radiate unifying thoughts above our instinctive egoistic thoughts.
This is not about ethics and manners, or “be nice to others” mantras that we used to hear as children. It’s not about philosophy, psychology or religion. The wisdom of Kabbalah reveals to us the layers of nature that are hidden to us.
By making a conscious effort to radiate care, kindness and friendship to all human beings, we use the natural network that connects us to our favor. This is the network that Kabbalists have discovered. The network they have detailed across more than 2,000 pages in the “Study of the Ten Sefirot.”
However, to activate it, one doesn’t have to delve into the depths of Kabbalah. Just like you don’t have to study medicine in order to take a pill that works.
The only challenge to overcome is that we think our personal efforts are so small and insignificant because we can’t see that we are all connected. If many of us make a small conscious effort together, we generate a powerful force.
You’re invited to radiate a positive influence within the network. Like, share, write something. Let’s spread unity.

New Life 100 – Pregnancy And Birth: Parenting
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz
When a woman gets pregnant she becomes nature’s representative. The development of the embryo on the human level depends on the attitude of the parents toward the environment. The world will relate to your embryo in the same way that you relate to others. Similarly, the attitude toward the mother is passed onto the embryo. “Your mother’s wisdom” means teaching the child to have good relationships with others. A mother should think about and visualize the type of world she would like to live in. Parents should acquire as much information as they can in advance in order to raise a developed human being. They should have the right books and games at home to help the child develop within the family and in the general society.

Realization of our nature’s evil is escalating: we no longer expect progress to bring improvements, development voluntarily leads us to mutual extermination. Things aren’t going to get any better! We are quickly sliding down to a doomed future.
All our energy goes toward avoiding thinking about it, replacing it with worship of health—the new religion.
Inside every person, egoism is dressed as Pharaoh, not allowing him to come out of it. By attempting to unite and break out of it, we strengthen egoism, Pharaoh gets richer and won’t let us go. But we start hating egoism. Eventually we discover our impotence in the face of egoism
… together with the need to connect to the Creator.
The law of mutual guarantee is simple: I must care for 9 friends and they for me. By that we determine our lives and no one can destroy our system, break our unity. Each one depends entirely on the 9, and on no one else.
All the forms in which we wished to succeed spiritually, but failed, come back and adjust us, pressuring us to be corrected. Hence be wary of building the wrong connections in the group to avoid awakening a negative reaction from the system.
Aspire only to the whole group, the ten as a whole.
I use myself as a machine operated by the group’s desire from within. Then I’ll reveal that it’s the Creator’s desire, who’s inside me, operating me. By carrying out actions, I’ll start to attain Him and will become equal to Him. That’s how the Creator clothes in creation.
We don’t know what the right connection is. We have no premises for it. All we have left is to follow Kabbalists’ advice, build connections between us that are called spiritual. In them we’ll reveal the force of bestowal and love called “the Creator”
First we must reveal the deficiency of the left side, from which we will understand what its opposite should be like, as in, “advantage of the light from the darkness,” and we can then build the right line. But the right connection is upon the two of them, in the middle line.
We can’t rise to the degree of love and bestowal until we reveal hatred for egoism. Above it we build the right line: unity, love: “Love will cover all sins.” If there are no transgressions, then there’s no love!
Building new senses for revealing the spiritual world means building connections between us in which we can reveal the Creator and thereby give Him pleasure. This new perception is called “faith above reason,” the degree of Bina, bestowal, the altruistic intention.
Two opposites must exist in one will to enjoy. That’s the only way this desire can take on its spiritual form. Two opposites do not cancel one another out, but complement and support each other. Between them we will reveal the Creator.
Last Friday 170 new students from all over Israel came to our International Kabbalah Academy center. These students recently began studying Kabbalah in Russian.
I wish all the new students successful progress and ascent in their spiritual development!
We learn to attain the Creator by His actions in us.
This is attained as the third factor that reconciles two opposites:
my qualities, created by Him, and
His influences inside them.
From these, we build ourselves.
If there’s no sensation of Me and the Creator, it means the state isn’t discerned yet. There’s no analysis of two opposites in the sensation, in feelings, awareness and reason. Lack of sensation and awareness compels us to complete them until we reveal the Creator.
Everything is only spiritual. But it divides into our world, where we don’t reveal the source of our sensations, and the spiritual world, where we reveal the source of our sensations. There’s no state that doesn’t include two opposites, creation and the Creator.
Creation experiences the sensations that the Creator evokes in it, and attains the Creator by His actions in it. That is how we develop an inner sensitivity to the Creator and understanding of what He wants so we’ll feel His direct and opposite forms and the difference between them
On all 125 degrees of the correction ladder, we only annul ourselves, aspiring to the state of 0, embryo (Ubar) under all the changeable conditions. By turning itself into a zero, the group grows more and more in that connection, revealing the whole system of the universe in itself
How do I make my desire like the Creator’s desire?
Try to enter the neighbor’s desire and place it above your #egoism, making it more important than your desire. That’s how we can learn to replace one nature with another, overcome ourselves, go above our own opinion ….
reason and feelings.
We need to reveal the source of goodness and love inside our unity—it will fill the world. This source is between us, in the connection to which the wisdom of Kabbalah brings us.
The source of goodness and love, the key to #happiness, is in our hands.
Therein lies our choice, instead of purposeless existence!
Any sensation consists of two opposite forms. After all, we are creature—we feel ourselves (our qualities) and something inside them. My sensation consists of the “perceiver” and the “perceived.” The perceived is always the Creator …
There’s None Else Besides Him, in concealed form. He brings about all sensations in me.
One is included in the upper system only by lowering oneself, developing the quality of bestowal. The Kli grows by reverse dependency, starting with zero and annulling more and more. A sign of annulment is “joy in emptiness.”
Being in the Upper One means gaining freedom from one’s “self,” absorbing Him from outside, rather than in egoism.
“I sat in His shadow, and His fruit was sweet” (Song of Songs)
While “being in the shadow,” you can taste the fruit in the quality of bestowal many times greater than the spark of light in the quality of reception. In the will to enjoy you can grasp only a spark,
whereas the pleasure of bestowal is 620 times greater, the light of NaRaNHY
Don’t despair from being thrown from egoistic perception of reality to a seemingly altruistic one. Precisely this conjugation of opposites leads to revelation of reality. One must patiently grow accustomed to opposites, revealing the advantage of light from darkness …
—until perceiving reality.
If I agree that my state, darkness is part of perceiving reality and is equal to light, pleasant/unpleasant, good/evil—then I properly balance myself and can remain an independent creation, in the middle line, aiming at the goal of creation—adhesion with the upper force.

Question: What thoughts or actions are most detrimental to our growth in Kabbalah? Which desire is our archenemy?
Answer: Laziness. Nothing else stands in our way. Only laziness.
You must bring yourself into such an environment that will constantly stimulate you, pull you forward, push you, provoke you. This is of utmost importance. Also, leave your egoism alone. It will disturb you, and rightly so. Do not agonize over your character or your qualities. You are created precisely that way in order to enter the upper world. The most important thing is to have more energy for work.
Question: Can you give an example of laziness in spiritual development?
Answer: Certainly. It is a lack of a person’s active involvement in the right environment, which can properly direct him, give him the right goal, and the energy to achieve it.
Question: What then is the corporeal laziness that prevents me to advance toward spirituality? Sometimes you tell us that the corporeal laziness is a good thing.
Answer: Regarding the corporeal world, laziness is a useful quality. The less hectic, the better. But once you have discovered the right path, you must pursue it with all your might to advance.

New Life 99 – Pregnancy And Birth From The Embryo’s Perspective
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz
An embryo feels what goes on between the parents and is affected by it. It never sleeps and is constantly perceiving information and developing. It distinguishes between the father’s impact and recognizes this additional source of influence. In fact, the embryo tries to neutralize the father as if he does not exist if the father treats the mother poorly by, for example, shouting. This lowers the self-confidence of the embryo and forces him to respond with defensive violence. The relationship between the parents even affects the embryo’s future relationships and entire life. In order to feed the embryo with maximum positive energy, the parents have to correct themselves by having a positive attitude toward one another.
