Question: How can I rise above time?

Answer: In order to rise above time, you need to tell yourself that you do not have a next moment—everything is in this instant. You should live this way; there is only one instant. In each moment, you do not transfer yourself into the next one, but at this instant, you start and finish as if life is really ending.

Then you suddenly feel that this same moment begins to expand and there are an enormous amount of actions, thoughts, and deeds in it, but time disappears.

After all, time does not exist; it is our subjective feeling.

Question: What, then, is the future?

Answer: The future is completely unrelated to time. The future is what happens after the action I now perform. It is a different dimension in which the axis of time is nonexistent. After all, the axis of time assumes that regardless of whether or not I exist, whether or not I do something, time passes independently of me.

The wisdom of Kabbalah, however, says that this is not the case. It states that you must give up such an attitude to life and decide that only you create your own states. If you do not create them, then time does not move, nothing passes by itself from one moment to the next. If you did something in this instant, it is then called “a moment,” and each subsequent moment carries out in this manner.

We live in the world which, according to Kabbalah, is considered illusory and imaginary. The main lie we live in is that we exist in time.

Therefore, Einstein indeed made a revolution by declaring time a subjective concept, with nothing absolute about it that would happen with or without a person.

Time is a person’s inner sensation. If we rise above our egoism, then there is no time.

Question from Facebook: According to you there is no God. If God doesn’t exist, to whom and for what do people pray?

Answer: A god that we can imagine and depict to ourselves does not exist. God is the force of bestowal and love that exists around us, but we don’t feel. We need to discover it within us to the degree that we become equal with its characteristics, then God will exist for us.

Question: What is prayer for you?

Answer: Prayer is a request to the Creator that He correct you and make you similar to Himself, i.e., bestowing and loving.

Question from Facebook: Why does the Creator need so many people on planet Earth?

Answer: The number of people on the planet, including those who have died and those who are yet to be born, is strictly predetermined because it depends on the volume of the egoistic desire we must correct. And each of us: living, dead, or yet to be born, carries that desire.

Following this process, we are nearing the end of correction. The desires are becoming greater and that is why they need to be divided into a larger number of bodies. That is why the population increases.

Question: Does it mean that if there were fewer bodies, they would not have been able to bare the egoistic pressure?

Answer: Of course. It is all strictly regulated.

Question: I am writing about changing the name of your organization. I live in Russia and people relate negatively to the word “Kabbalah.” No explanations relying on the Hebrew language help me….

Answer: Unfortunately, I have no right to change the name of the method for revelation of the Creator.

Question: What is sound? Why is any manifestation of sound (even of an inner voice) connected to the alphabet (letters)?

Answer: It is because this is a means for communication, connection.

New Life #213 – Turning Relationship Education Into A National Mission
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi

Summary

The distance between people is the root of all kinds of crises in life including depression and many other health problems. Without connection to others, we feel abandoned like orphans. Correcting the morbidity of modern society should begin with the couple and family units. People need a supportive and warm environment in which they can continue to develop throughout all stages of the lifecycle. People no longer want to marry, but they must be in long-term, committed relationships in order to raise their children properly. We need to create a social-educational process that teaches people how to love and build mutual support as a national mission.

Psalm_71 In You, LORD, I trust! Let me never be ashamed. Be my rock! Rescue me from the hand of the robber. You are my hope. My mouth is filled with praises for You. Do not cast me off when my strength fails. My enemies conspire: God has forsaken him. O God, do not be far from me

My latest on @BINAlerts Israel’s Hubris Comes With a Price — Why Jews in Israel and around the world have a false sense of security. “I have seen these people,’ the #Lord said to Moses, ‘and they are a stiff-necked people. ” (Exodus 32:9-10) #Israel

Psalm_70 LORD, save me, rush to my help! Let those seeking my soul be shamed, those wishing me evil -humiliated. Let those who seek You rejoice, those who love Thy salvation say “Great is the Lord!” But I am needy, O GOD, rush to me! My help, my deliverer You, Lord, do not delay!

Psalm_69 Save me, GOD, I sink in mire. Strong are those hating me. Let those who trust in You not be shamed because of me. I pray to You, answer me with salvation. Do not hide Your face. Let those seeking GOD rejoice. Let heaven, earth, seas & offspring of His servants praise Him

Psalm_68 Let GOD arise, His enemies & haters be scattered. Let the godly rejoice before Him. Your heritage, when weak, You strengthen. GOD – escape from death. Sing to GOD in your gatherings! God is awesome in His sanctuaries, will give strength to the chosen people. #Praise GOD!

#Psalm_67 God, have mercy on us & bless us, reveal Your shining face! Let your way be known on earth. Let all nations thank You. For You judge nations fairly and guide the tribes on earth. Earth yielded its harvest. Let God bless us, all ends of the earth will be awed before Him.

Psalm_66 Let the whole earth bow to You, praise Thy name! You tried and refined us. You led us into a net, brought disasters, we passed thru fire and water, You led us out to abundance. If I had injustice in my heart, He would not hear me. But He heeded my prayer. Blessed be GOD!

Psalm_65 To You all flesh will come. You will forgive our sins. Blessed be chosen by You. He forms mountains, stills loud waves, tumult of nations. He remembers earth, waters it, blessing growth. Your paths drip oil. Pastures clothe with flock, valleys with grains, exult & sing.

#Crisis_solution
The people of #Israel have the world’s most essential product–the method of reaching #happiness. And we have no competition. This remedy can only spread from Israel, and the world has no choice—it needs only this remedy. We need to educate and to market…

Without the wisdom of Kabbalah, it is impossible to answer the question about the meaning of life. After all, we exist in the desire to enjoy, which is our entire nature, and so we always serve only it.

Our ego immediately answers the question “What am I living for?” with “To feel good in your desire to enjoy!,” i.e., inside your nature, not above it.

It turns out that my whole life is to guarantee my egoism’s fulfillment. That is, I serve my animalistic body. I do not exist above the animalistic level, but within it.

Only under the condition that I give my animalistic body the most necessary things, like to an ox, a donkey, or a horse so that they would serve us people, then I use my body for the needs of a person who is above the animalistic body. This means I scrutinize the question: “What am I living for?” Not the ox or donkey, but the person within me: What is the purpose of his life?

We then find out that life is not in the desire to enjoy, which lives and dies, but above it. It means that we should search for the meaning of life above egoism, where there is only the force that created the desire to enjoy: the Creator.

It turns out that the answer to the question about the meaning of life cannot be found inside oneself, in one’s animalistic body, but only in the examination of the force that created us and led us to this question. I must discover the Creator, and then I will understand what I am living for.

The attainment of the Creator takes place in 125 degrees. In each degree, we discover the Creator more and more, understanding what we are living for. When we complete all our corrections, that is, the entire attainment of the Creator, then we will uncover a complete answer to the question about the meaning of life.
