Question: Each phenomenon in our world has its own corresponding spiritual root. If we look at such phenomena as air, water, fire, then what is, for example, the spiritual root of fire?

Answer: The upper force is divided into four elements: water, air, fire, and earth. In reality, these are the four stages of direct light.

All the concepts in the spiritual have nothing to do with the same phenomena in our world. All that we read about in Kabbalah does not correspond to our world. We first need to identify clear connections between the upper worlds and ours, then we will see the interaction between root and branch and in what way the branch in our world can influence the root.

Question: On earth there are countless numbers of rocks. There are common stones and precious ones. There is gold and silver. What is the origin of these phenomena?

Answer: All metals that exist in nature in their natural form have their own spiritual roots. It is written about it in The Book of Zohar.

For example, gold is the material representation of the greatest egoism. That is why it is so valuable in our world. Silver is much smaller egoism. That is why silver cleanses.

But it is not useful to manipulate these concepts because just as in metals, so in all objects and phenomena of our world, including the individual and his body, there is nothing sacred.

New Life 911 – Balance Among People And Nature
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

When we acquire the wisdom of how to connect to others in balance, all of nature will be balanced and reach the state of the Garden of Eden (Paradise). In the past, nature pushed people to be wise and sensitive, knowledgeable and cultured. Today, nature demands an overall balance.

Now, distinguished readers, this book lies here before you in a closet. It states explicitly all the wisdom of statesmanship and the behavior of private and public life that will exist at the end of days. It is the book of Kabbalah, where the corrected worlds are set. (Writings of Baal HaSulam, “Building the Future Society”)

Question: Why should Baal HaSulam, the great Kabbalist who wrote Talmud of Eser Sefirot and “Introduction to The Book of Zohar” deal with earthly problems? What’s the point?

Answer: This is not an earthly problem! There is a desire created by nature, the Creator. It must pass through certain stages of development. Now we are at a critical point that turns all our development from egoistic to altruistic. And this is what Baal HaSulam writes as an absolute practitioner.

Kabbalah is a practical science because it is realized in people who live in our time or lived in other generations.

Kabbalah is intended only for people who exist in our world, not for certain souls who after death revolve in some vast spaces on higher spiritual levels. All the higher spiritual levels exist in people. Therefore, Baal HaSulam writes for people. And the Kabbalist does not have a greater aspiration than to come to people and teach them to properly realize themselves in accordance with the laws of nature.

Question: Do you mean the people with a burning desire to discover the meaning of life?

Answer: Naturally. And the rest will simply not hear our plea. Their egoism is still at the animate level; they care only about their corporeal existence. This is neither bad and nor good. So there is no need to address them. They need to be given their minimal requirements, and they will be very happy to receive their universal income, computer, Internet, TV, and couch. They will have a free rations delivered to their home and even what they order themselves: pizza, cola, or a computer, everything. And they do not need anything else. Can you imagine such happiness?

Question: Isn’t that an illusion of happiness?

Answer: But everything they want is on the Internet from the sciences of our world to a striptease, a television series, and football.

So do not go to them. We need to wait until this stage of development is over because a person can be treated only in accordance to what he wants. After all, a person is a desire to enjoy.

But there are people who cannot stop at this. They have a “virus” inside them that does not let them be happy from being filled with material goods.

They need to reveal the ultimate power that governs them, the highest principle, the program of human development, and its purpose: For what do I exist? What is happening in my life? Why is it so? They are interested in connection with the governing force. It is to such people that you can appeal.

Question: Is the meaning of the term “unification” that we make sure that this is a utopia and call out to the Creator from powerlessness?

Answer: No. The reason for discovering the Creator is specifically in our unification. And on the way, there are many different states including impotence, misunderstandings, confusion, or the opposite, excitement, elation, etc., that is, a whole spectrum of experiences.

Question: If a person does not have an acute inner question about the meaning of life, can he reveal the spiritual world?

Answer: He must begin to study and he will have these questions. After all, he does not even imagine what Kabbalah is opening before him.

He will slightly open the door to the upper world and will see what is prepared for him. It is like you enter a shop without any desire and suddenly see that everything in it is sparkling, spinning, and ringing, and this begins to interest you.

It is possible to receive absolutely everything from Kabbalah because it fills a person with the upper Light. This Light is not limited and is absolute!

Under the influence of the upper Light a person is filled with what he himself desires. This filling is universal. Therefore, imagine your greatest desires, whatever they are, and they will be fulfilled.

Let’s discover the natural high we are wired to experience from being positively connected to each other. #OpioidCrisis #OpioidEpidemic

Kabbalah: We exist in a closed system, thus everyone passes the upper Light through himself and onto the whole system/#world. Reveal it!

#Kabbalah: ALL of one’s qualities necessary to achieve equivalence to Creator. We need only understand how to change them to reach the goal

Kabbalah: In actualizing Kabbalah, man attains the Creator—the hidden ubiquitous force. In so doing, he achieves immortality in this #life.

#Physicists: Vacuum birthed universe. Kabbalah: Vacuum is Upper Light, Creator, force of love/bestowal we can’t sense—were opposite to it.
