I hope that we will be able to tell everyone in  the world about what they must do to make them feel good, and in such a way that they will not immediately reject it, but will try to understand, learn, and hear.

If this happens, then it will be good, and we will smoothly move the potential barrier to the next level. If not, then it will be bad, and we will have to wade through the thorns of wars, barricades, coups, bloody murders, or anything that can happen for any reason.

After all, due to the lack of a real and reasonable way out of the situation that has arisen, an explosion occurs from the social pressure accumulated inside: from bitterness, fears, depressions, and the inability to remain in this state any longer. Then death is better than living in such a state all of the time. I am very afraid of this.

Question: Do you think that communicating with a person through a crisis and explaining the causes of it is an effective method? Or are there some things that can attract a person more?

Answer: I do not want to communicate with anyone through the crisis! I did not create it, as parents sometimes deliberately arrange such tricks for children so that they pay attention to something or do something else. We just want to explain to people what the cause of their condition is. We do not create these conditions ourselves!

A person does not need anything except to get out of the crisis. And he only thinks about having more money, power, fame, knowledge, pleasure, and so on. In general, he wants to absorb everything in this world so that it is in front of him as a free choice. Nothing else! These are his needs.

People need to understand why they are unable to satisfy their needs while working today, and many of them have ceased to want to satisfy them at all and are depressed.

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “How can you motivate a team?“

The most effective team motivation is unity, when the team members each primarily value and consistently raise the importance of their unification up to a point where they have no need to even communicate verbally anymore.

Based on KabTV’s “Management Skills” with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman and Michael Sanilevich on August 28, 2020.

And once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about. (Haruki Murakami)

Question: Is the storm and in general everything that is happening around us in humanity and now in the world happening only so that we become a different person?

Answer: Yes, everything that happens in nature! Even explosions somewhere in distant stars are happening only in order to somehow act through some chains of events on a person.

Question: If I am an ordinary person, and it happens somewhere out there in Africa, is it still happening for me?

Answer: Yes. Do not look for any laws of justice in this. We do not understand all this.

Question: But there is a big difficulty in this for me. Somewhere out there, in Alaska, something is happening, is it happening for me?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What will happen if I can really train myself so that it will be my thought? Let’s dream that every person has managed…

Answer: Then you will begin to correct the world with this thought.

Question: What is the conclusion from this? That the world is tied to me and my actions determine what will happen in Alaska?

Answer: Yes.

Question: If we do not change, if I do not change—again and again troubles come into the world, next to me, and so on, and I do not change—do the troubles then increase? Will this pressure on me increase?

Answer: Of course. On you personally and on each of us, and on all of us together.

Question: Does this happen until I understand what depends on me?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Isn’t this difficult for a person?

Answer: We live in this.

Comment: But we do not feel this.

My Response: But do we feel that it is getting worse?

Comment: Yes, we feel it.

My Response: Is the pressure growing?

Comment: It is growing.

My Response: So, we need to do something about it.

Question: Is the conclusion from this that the entire world is tied to me and this is so for everyone? And I am tied to the entire world?

Answer: Yes.

Question: How can we live with this?

Answer: But we live.

Comment: We do not feel this; this is why we live.

My Response: That’s right. But what should I do? To feel. Once you start feeling it, you start thinking about it, you start trying to change it mentally, and you change it.

Question: Can you imagine if a person comes to this thought and there is such a responsibility on him, then how will he live?! How?

Answer: He will live. At the moment, he, the miserable one, exists.

Question: Is this what you call life: to learn to tie myself to the entire world, to feel that it depends on me?

Answer: Yes. And to care for the entire world.

Question: Is it in a person’s power or not?

Answer: That is exactly what is in a person’s power. For this, people just need a certain education so that they understand that everything that happens is necessary only for them to realize where they exist, in what system of nature they exist, and why the environment is not so kind to them.

Question: If I understand this, will I be able to take a step, or will I do it all the time with the fear that I am responsible and I am worried?

Answer: No. On the contrary, I will take good and correct steps gradually, here and there, remembering, forgetting, and somehow else. But in general we will improve ourselves and thereby improve the world.

Comment: You are talking about integrality, the global nature of the world, but you do not clarify when you are asked: “What solution can we give to the world?”

My Response: You do not understand this, not because I leave my message unfinished, but because your mind is not yet working to the full depth necessary to understand it since those who ask are not integral themselves.

What can I do? Nothing! It is necessary to chew on these ideas again and again and keep feeding them until adequate thoughts appear according to what I say.

Question: What do we still lack? Some actions or some thoughts?

Answer: First, it is necessary to create an environment around us that would give us the greatness of the integrality of the world in our eyes and its complete interdependence.

Secondly, since in this integral, completely interdependent form, there is a fairly strong, international group that is studying Kabbalah, that is, our next state, then, through this study and through the desire for the next state to reveal a deeper layer of the world, this group attracts upon us special spiritual energy, special knowledge, and special forces.

Thus, through this group and its spreading into our world, which will want to be integral, the energy of the next level will begin to enter, the one where people are really interconnected with each other in a direct integral connection.

This is how the correction will happen.

Question: Is there any symbolism in the fact that we have been surrounded by pets throughout time?

Answer: Pets are an addition to man, an addition to his own nature.

In general, the entire inanimate, plant, and animal world, everything that exists around us, except for man, is, as it were, different forms that have come out of us and now exist outside of us since we cannot collect them in ourselves, correct, and use them properly. Therefore they are still located and felt outside of us.

In fact, the whole universe, the globe, and everything that exist on it: plant and animal, and all of humanity, should be inside me. If I begin to develop the property of “love your neighbor as yourself” in myself, then I will not have any problems, and I will be able to discover all this within myself and work with it correctly.

Comment: You say that miracles do not exist. But some things are perceived as miracles at our level of understanding.

My Response: Of course, I understand that. If I give a musical toy to a child and the toy suddenly starts playing, it is a miracle to him. Suddenly, a little box starts making a sound. To him, it feels like something that fell from heaven.

Question: Why do you hide such information then?

Answer: It is not information! Information is something you receive and understand as additional knowledge.

Know that there are no miracles in the world. There are things that reveal themselves to an unprepared person and seem to be miracles because he does not see the cause and effect of that phenomenon.

Let us say at 11 a.m. the gas burner in your kitchen turns on by itself, and no one else is there. You will perceive it as something special until you discover your friends are playing a joke on you.

Certainly there are apparent coincidences and chance occurrences, but it is all a lack of information. And why should we know it if we cannot manage it?

Were Wolf Messing or Vanga happy because they knew something in advance? For such knowledge of the future, you have to pay very dearly because you are not entitled to it.

You have not reached its level yet. If you start receiving it according to your desires, you will involuntarily try to use it for yourself. It will push you away from the goal, and therefore you will suffer even more. It is a closed chain! We cannot go into it, and we should not!

On the contrary, the further you go into spirituality, the more you will close your eyes and advance, as they say, by faith above knowledge, that is, by bestowing despite egoism.

Michael Laitman, On The Times of Israel: “What is ‘Modeh Ani’ in Hebrew?”
Modeh Ani is a short prayer, which is recited daily upon waking up in the morning. In this prayer, one thanks the Creator just as he opens his eyes by saying, “I offer thanks to You, living and eternal King, for You have mercifully restored my soul within me; Your faithfulness is great!” A person thanks the Creator, who fills and controls the whole world, for restoring his soul and letting him wake up to get to know Him. This prayer marks the beginning of a new day.

What is the meaning of the Modeh Ani prayer? Here it is, piece by piece.

“Modeh ani lefanecha”—I thank You. For what does one thank the Creator? “Melech chai ve kayam”—eternal living King, meaning that He fills the whole world, He controls the whole world, and no one else. “Living” means that He exists in everything that exists. Without His presence in something, it would not exist. “Melech chai ve kayam, she he chezarta bi nishmati”—”for You have mercifully restored my soul within me; Your faithfulness is great!”

The Creator takes one’s soul in the evening and returns it in the morning, upon one waking up. A person enters a dream, where he no longer controls himself, and therefore his obvious connection with the Creator is cut off. Only the Creator is the master over him during sleep, at night. And in the morning a person gets his soul back and thanks the Creator for it. “For You have mercifully restored my soul within me,” means that the Creator has decided to return the soul to the body. Meanwhile, others might not wake up at all.

According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, “God,” or “the Creator,” is the quality of complete, unconditional love and bestowal. It is a spiritual force devoid of any corporeal depiction, a force that guides and sustains reality, also called the “upper force,” and its purpose is one: to do good. To that end, the Creator created us, who are destined to reach ultimate goodness by acquiring the godly, eternal quality of absolute love and bestowal.

Prayer is an appeal to the upper force to correct one’s egoism, the desire to enjoy for self-benefit alone. The transformation from our inborn egoistic perception and sensation to a new altruistic one is performed via an act called “prayer.”

This prayer, however, has nothing to do with day and night. In Kabbalah, a day is when we are enlightened, i.e., that we can see and feel, holding a connection with the Creator. Night is when a state descends like twilight on the soul and the heart. And when the dawn comes next, and we have some connection to the Creator, we say this prayer.

We do not have to recite the exact words of this prayer. It is more important to feel them in the heart. We can tell the Creator from the heart how good it is to be connected to Him, and this is a day for me; and how bad and sad it is for me to be alone without the Creator, and that is like night. I am thankful to the Creator for waking me up and giving me the conditions to approach Him.
