On the spiritual path, we shouldn’t fear or avoid darkness of desires.
We must deal with the emptiness, the “vessel”—scrutinize it in the upper light, and come out to the Creator, who created emptiness in me to push me forward. When I understand this, I turn to Him the right way.

In spiritual space, I move by changing my qualities / desires.
In material space, it’s enough for me to move mechanically, to come to the lesson even if I don’t want to.
This opportunity to act in spite of the desire is what sets our world apart. We underestimate it.
#Kabbalah

The Creator determines my descents. Desperation pushes into the group to receive fulfillment and hope. I understand that the Creator Himself lowered me into selfishness, intentionally so, for only thus will I be forced to ascend to the next level, by choosing bestowal over the ego.

It is written, “I dwell amongst my people.”
The Creator is what’s revealed in the center of the ten, in the group.
I run there without looking back. There, my darkness, despair, and futility acquire a new quality—the desire to bestow to the Creator. This bestowal is Light for me

Conflicts between US financiers and industrialists led to Trump’s nomination for presidency by industrialists. But neither financiers nor industrialists know how to ensure economic growth. They’re only fighting for power. There’s a crisis ahead, so a consciousness change is needed!

Trump can secure the US position in the world, return production and jobs to the workers, mark the boundaries of interests with Putin, for there’s no winning in a conventional war or surviving a nuclear one. The world’s at a dead end. It’s time to spread the method of correction!

The Creator has brought us to an inner dead-end of intention, so we may ask ourselves: What do I want from life? What does life want from me?
We have the chance to think about these questions, to demand upper fulfillment in #life, in order to break through to a new #reality!

#Kabbalah: The human ego has developed so much that the things we used to enjoy have ceased to fulfill us. Mankind is reaching a state of inner emptiness, apathy.
Soon we will have no other choice but to reveal the spiritual fulfillment that awaits us.

New Life 1021 – The Uniqueness Of The Human Brain, Part 2
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

The human brain acts as a modem and is infinite in its potential to develop. The brain serves the desire in one’s heart and mind. It leads to self-destruction and death when serving the egoistic desire to receive for oneself. As we open our hearts to one another with the desire to give and share, the brain expands until we feel an infinite world. When we switch from the program of reception to the program of bestowal, we come to know and understand everything. The person becomes a pipeline or passage to complete integrity, soul perception, and the revelation of the Creator in this world.

Question: What is the “end of all generations”? Is it the end of physical life or a special personal state?

Answer: The end of all generations is the end of the ascent up the spiritual ladder, when we reach its summit.

Question: What does it mean that we are in the stage of the last generation?

Answer: To be in the stage of the last generation means to approach the ascent on the spiritual ladder and ascend it as the last generation.

Question: Why does merely mentioning terms of the science of Kabbalah arouse a negative reaction among people who do not study it?

Answer: The fact is that throughout the years of the existence of Kabbalah there have been so many fabrications around it that it is natural that no one is indifferent to it.

Only specific people understand Kabbalah and they are its followers. Everyone else is very cautiously and warily interested in it. They consider it something dark, bad, and dangerous.

Most importantly, religion, being based on blind faith, is also against Kabbalah. They tell me how to behave, and like a wind-up-toy, I mechanically perform the prescribed actions.

Kabbalists say: “No, you must explore this world, explore the Creator, and wish to understand and attain Him with your mind.” Attain the Creator in order to be like Him, to serve Him exactly by becoming equal to Him. This is the state we must reach.

Everything is achieved through unification. The success of the unification depends on both how far apart we are from each other, and our understanding that only above the strong separation can we reach a level where the Creator is revealed between us and starts to unite us. Therefore, the congress in Europe provides us with the best conditions for a genuine realization of unification, that is, the Creator’s revelation to the creations in this world, which is the goal of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

We have to use this gathering to achieve not only external, but also internal unification that will be strong enough to reveal the upper force in it according to the similarity of properties.¹

Adam HaRishon is the system of ten Sefirot, which continues to exist in its original form, only that egoistic desires came inside it and stalled it. As a result, the system stopped working, and we have to put it back into action. All the parts of the system remained and we only need to adjust it to that additional desire that was revealed in it and that blocked the connections between all the elements. This is called the partition.

Adam HaRishon is a system of connections between us, like a web of ten Sefirot. We must launch this system, provided that we correctly use the desire to enjoy, that is, for the sake of bestowal.

By connecting all parts of this system again above the separation, each receives the whole soul and everyone will feel it all. Therefore, achieving the goal of creation and attaining the Creator depends precisely on the connection and mutual inclusion of the broken parts.

By correcting the separation, the creations will acquire tools for attaining the Creator. Without division and correction, it is impossible to reveal the upper force. By working together on the correction and unification of all parts, the creation creates the Creator, as it is written: “As though he had made Me.”²

In applying our efforts to unite, we discover that the Creator himself is between us as an obstacle to unification.³

If a person is alone, he will surely complain and curse the Creator, and if he is connected with the group and the ten, he will certainly glorify Him.⁴

Life 1020 – The Uniqueness of the Human Brain, Part 1
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Unlike animals, the human brain is intended for spiritual development. The brain is controlled by the will. While part of the human will and brain are responsible for physical existence, the other part has the potential to develop us spiritually. If we want to develop, we must first grow emotionally and, depending on our desire, we can develop a desire to feel more than we feel in the five senses, to feel another world.

By connecting the beginning of creation, its current state and its end, a person starts feeling grateful to the Creator, outside any personal calculations. By opening the heart to the friends and letting them in, I acquire the spiritual world. The group is my actual soul.

If I correct myself, parts of the world will converge and become a single whole. By taking responsibility for the world, I unite the broken parts of my soul. The world is a part of my Kli, the souls that I must connect. This is how my flaws requiring correction are revealed.

The the world’s condition is entirely up to me. I alone can bring it to total correction. After all, the “world” is what appears to me in my desire, either in a corrupted or a corrected one, to a greater or lesser extent. This means everything depends on me!

Any darkness must be taken as the reverse side of the light, as its starting point. Wishing for greater unity, guarantee, bestowal above the ego, seeking to see the Creator’s good in everything, we transform darkness into the light, bitterness into sweetness; we hasten the dawn.

Darkness and the lack of guarantee in the group are the light and the vessel of the next state. The Creator “flirts” so that we strive after Him. Any descent is an invitation to rise. Darkness demands that we strengthen the guarantee in order to become one with the Creator.

Merging with the Creator in darkness is transforming His reverse side into His face. If I cannot treat evil as goodness, if I cannot turn any condition into adhesion with the Creator, then I am not receiving the power of a guarantee from the group.

Darkness is a breaking, incapacity to perceive the light- force of bestowal. In the darkness of #selfishness we find the Creator’s “underside,” the opportunity for correction. And we rejoice at this, for He showed us what’s missing. Now from darkness we can come to adhesion with Him.

There is nothing accidental in the world. Everything is intended only for the disclosure of the Creator, the Good Who Does Good. If we prepare in advance, we will accept anything negative correctly, finding Him in the darkness, in the opposite states.

Spiritual work’s built on a request/gratitude to the Creator—He’s open to both. One chooses what will give him maximum equivalence = bestowal to the Creator, thru maximum effort against the self and through the group. We ask to unite our intentions. Becoming one, we’ll merge with the Creator

Every single day we cause numerous problems by our barbaric use of oil and trees, by poisoning the earth with #chemical #waste. But the biggest blow to nature we cause is by acting selfishly in our relations. Since this level is the highest, it causes a common crisis. #environment

#Kabbalah offers every person the opportunity to move through space at infinite speed and zero time—notwithstanding #Einstein!
#Wisdom #ThursdayThoughts #quotes #Time #life

Kabbalah explains tragedies by the lack of connection between us, the lack of balance between parts of nature. The world has turned into a ball girded with multiple threads that we are progressively destroying. In the integral world, breaking connections causes an integral crisis!

A person who wishes to advance in spirituality must remove his ego-desire.
He realizes that he can’t go against his ego-nature.
But since the Creator gave him the ego-nature, He will replace it as well, if the person asks for it from the bottom of his heart.

To lift a person from spiritual ascent, the Creator drops him down with thoughts of him instead of HIM. One thinks that he fell alone, spiritual growth isn’t for him and he’s worse than everyone. But precisely from this state, if he asks the Creator, He helps and brings him to Him.

Loss of energy and sensation of emptiness (after a congress) come from above—for us to find out: What does the Creator want from me? Why did He take away all my strength and desires?
It’s so I’ll depend only on Him and receive desires/strength to move to the goal only from Him!

After ascent (at a congress), we fall!
Yet it’s not descent, but opportunity to reevaluate the goal anew:
what do I want from the Creator and what does He want from me?
Whereas in ascent there is no care for spirituality—since I feel great and would stay this way my whole life.

According to Baal HaSulam, “Peace In The World”: Peace in a given society depends on world peace, for we’ve reached a stage where the whole world is a single society. So everyone has to care for the wellbeing of the entire world and serve it, in order to ensure his own existence.
