“The Lord Will Turn The Rain Of Your Land Into Powder And Dust”

laitman_747_01.jpgTorah, Deuteronomy 28:24: The Lord will turn the rain of your land into powder and dust, raining down upon you from the heavens until you are destroyed.

Despite the fact that physically you can seemingly do everything in this world, if you don’t achieve success in the spiritual world, you will not be blessed here or there.

We still exist in this world out of mercy; we are given a “prepayment.” But in fact, it is not given for a long time.

Question: Do you think that the ” hour X” is approaching?

Answer: Undoubtedly. And it is in our time. 2016 was the last year of the “bustling” state of life and further on, it will be much harder.

Comment: Indeed, wherever you look—America, Europe, Arab countries—there is a powerful collapse everywhere.

Answer: All of them are still playing their games, but they should start learning something from life. Therefore, the dead end is approaching.

Question: What does it mean that the rain will become powder and dust?

Answer: Rain, which is meant to give birth, will not give you anything. It will be shed in other places. That is, you will not receive a blessing for your actions, and they will “dry up” if you do not unite and strive for likeness to the Creator. Nothing else is said here. A man is called Adam because he must be “like” (in Hebrew “Domeh“) the Creator.

Correction In The Society Of The Future

laitman_568_01Baal HaSulam, The Writings of the Last Generation: Their courts are busy primarily with awarding accolades marking the level of each person’s distinction in bestowal upon others.

Baal HaSulam, The Writings of The Last Generation, “The Positive,” Item 12: Public opinion, which condemns egoism, will condemn the guilty party for exploiting the righteousness of one’s friend.

In the society of the last generation, a person will be cultivated collectively, without prisons or other punishments. We see even today that they are not effective and only exacerbate the problem.

That is why everything will be given into the hands of the correct and corrected society, which will grind within itself each yet uncorrected element, with a goal-oriented approach, educating a person and guiding him to the correct awareness. This type of atmosphere will leave him no alternative other than to behave correctly.

Comment: Baal HaSulam writes that one who disagrees with a decision of the courts will be judged by the opinions of society, and no more.

Answer: And no more is necessary! This is the worst possible thing that can happen. Just imagine that all the newspapers, media, and neighbors are judging you. You come home and your ten-year-old son says to you: “Friends at school say that my father is bad.” Can you imagine what it means when everyone treats you like a leper? It is worse than any other punishment.

Question: Let’s say, in the society of the last generation this kind of leper appears who does not want to comply with the law of bestowal, love… ?

Answer: Initially, society will shun him. Then, with time, he will gradually correct his behavior as a result of the pressure from this same society. By the way, after such a correction, he can rise even higher than the rest. The one who falls so low, rises equally high.

How Can Desire Grow?

laitman_233Question: How can desire grow? After all, it is not a flower that grows in the earth.

Answer: The desire can only grow under the influence of the upper Light (Keter). When the Light influences the point in the desire, it begins to develop the desire.

Blitz Of Kabbalah Tips – 2/19/17

Laitman_510_01Question: Sometimes in conventions I feel like I am in a suit of armor: everyone around me is happy and full, while I feel empty. What should I do?

Answer: You must “turn-off your head,” become integrated with others, start dancing, or do something else. If nothing helps at all, then go to the kitchen to peel vegetables.

Question: How can one ascend to the common desire?

Answer: You must uncover the yearning for the Creator within yourself. Leave the physical body below and raise the yearning for the Creator, uniting with all the friends.

Question: I am a practical person, not a theoretician or a mystic. If I don’t nullify myself and annihilate my egoism, then I won’t get to the practical work. How can I nullify my ego from within the ego itself?

Answer: First, you don’t nullify the ego; the upper Light that you arouse does. Second, the ego is necessary for us and in no manner should it be annihilated. It is forbidden to annihilate anything in nature! It is only up to us to rise above the egoism in the direction of connection and love.

Question: Why is it not possible to defeat a city of wicked who are standing together as one person?

Answer: It is not possible to defeat them because they also have the power of connection, which attracts the upper Light to them; as long as the upper Light is found among them, it is not possible to defeat them. They are under the protection of the Creator even though they are completely opposite from Him. The Creator is the general law of nature.

Question: Why do people who gather together in a large mass, as for example at rock concerts or soccer games, experience ecstasy?

Answer: They experience this because their desires are gathered together, but this has nothing to do with spirituality.

Question: Baal HaSulam wrote to his seven students that it was enough to gather their sparks in one place to discover spiritual worlds. If so, why is it necessary to gather so many people in a convention?

Answer: We are living in a different period in which it is necessary to gather greater and greater amounts of people. I hope that the great number of people will attain the intensity of a common power, which will truly be according to the first spiritual level, so that we will begin to feel the shared power within us already, in the connection between us.

For Baal HaSulam there were other students and other circumstances. It was much simpler and easier for them, while for us it is much more complicated and difficult.

My Thoughts On Twitter, 7/19/17

#Kabbalah says that time doesn’t flow backward & the past can be fixed, but all is known in advance and we’re merely executing the program

#Fake: Generative neural networks allow for the creation of clips with any plots and participants, indistinguishable from reality.

#Kabbalah allows us to escape the “matrix” of our existence and attain eternity. The method is open to all, and free!

#Science: Reality is an illusion appearing only if someone perceives it. Kabbalah: We’re in a field of light, and we draw our own world.

The Main Goal Of The Last Generation

 Comment: The short notes written by Baal HaSulam about the last generation raise a lot of questions: What is the last generation, how can it be achieved, what steps should we take on the way to it, and so on?

Answer: It is true. After all, we have already reached this state, and today we see its formation. Therefore, it is very interesting for us to understand Baal HaSulam as deeply as possible, although it is quite difficult to open his short notes and create general, fundamental, and serious impressions about the generation we are entering.

This is not Generation X, Z, or Y but something different that cannot be defined by different Pokemon or things like that. It is absolutely different in terms of a person’s mind, his way of thinking, and his vision of the world. A person will see everything from within himself with different eyes.

Baal HaSulam looks forward not linearly, like historians or philosophers, but through the upper spheres, claiming that the revelation of the Creator will become the main goal of the new society. This is exactly what people will be doing because machines will do the rest of the work. This already is starting to manifest today.

Change Yourselves And The World Will Change

laitman_219_01Question: How does reading The Book of Zohar change the reality of the reader?

Answer: We feel a certain volume, me and my world, which is basically the reflection of my internal spiritual state. If we change this state, we will accordingly begin to change our feeling toward ourselves and the world.

This is very convenient because you don’t need to change anything or to be convinced with regard to anything. You are not dependent on anyone! Change yourselves and the world around you will begin to change.

The Two Forces Of Creation

Laitman_630_1Question: If we take any letter from the Hebrew alphabet, are its components a point and two lines? Are there no other forms?

Answer: A point and horizontal and vertical lines create a wide variety of combinations between the two forces that create everything that we can see, feel, grasp, and sense, everything that exists, not only in our world, but in all the worlds.

Question: Did the First Man (Adam HaRishon) feel the horizontal force as the power of bestowal and the vertical force as the power of reception, meaning, did he feel these two forces within himself?

Answer: Certainly, and therefore he discovered them. Nothing exists in the world except for these two forces. Plus and minus, electron and positron, and everything else, these are derived from the same two forces.
