The Hebrew Letters Are Not Placebos

laitman_567_04Question: Which letters of the Hebrew alphabet work like a placebo and help a person psychologically?

Answer: The only thing that can help us is if we operate on our desire; if we tune our desire to connect with others in order to restore the one soul, the system of Adam.

“Being Lazy Is A Sign Of High Intelligence”

laitman_564In the News (Independent): “New research seems to prove the theory that brainy people spend more time lazing around than their active counterparts.

“Findings from a US-based study seem to support the idea that people with a high IQ get bored less easily, leading them to spend more time engaged in thought.

“And active people may be more physical as they need to stimulate their minds with external activities, either to escape their thoughts or because they get bored quickly.”

My Comment: It is only worthwhile to add that an inclination toward physical or mental activity is latent in a person according to his nature. Moreover, in every activity its uniqueness, its type, and so on are also latent. All of this is derived from the location of the soul of the person within the general system of souls—Adam.

Why Was The General Soul Shattered?

Unity, The Way To A Good FutureQuestion: You said in your post “There is No Life without Mutual Guarantee” that in the past we were one spiritual body and then this body was shattered. Is the spiritual body temporary like our physical? And do we have to connect in order to live or to be reborn into a new spiritual body?

Answer: The shattering of the body, which means of the desire and not the physical body, was necessary so that we can reconnect its parts, attain a desire to bestow in contrast to the desire to receive, and attain love in contrast to the desire to reject others. In this program acquire the perfect feeling of eternity and wholeness.

The Spiritual Gene, Part 5

Laitman_712_03Question: Spiritual DNA controls me, it determines what qualities will be in me and what desires will wake up in me in the next moment. Who controls the spiritual DNA?

Answer: The general system controls it where all the spiritual DNAs exist and where the beginning and end of everything are located. In the beginning of development we all are shattered as a result of Adam’s sin. And the end of development is called the end of correction of this system. We are in the process that the system goes through from the beginning to the end.

Question: How does the spiritual system control us? How does the spiritual DNA control our material genes?

Answer: The control happens through the system of the world of Infinity. We are unable to understand it, because it is above our mind, and above everything we can imagine. It is impossible to explain; one has to reveal it himself.

After all, an ordinary person of our world is not able to perceive even quantum physics that seems very simple to Kabbalists.  All the problems in the microcosm and macrocosm are beyond the comprehension of a person in this world. So I can’t explain the manner in which the spiritual world dresses into the material one and sets everything that exists in it.

In order to attain this connection we need to exist in both worlds simultaneously. Then it will become evident how the spiritual charge acts in every material particle and controls it.

So, let’s sum it up. The spiritual DNA is an informational record (Reshimo) from the system of Adam HaRishon, and it exists in everyone. The material DNA is a biological gene, a special biological form that helps a person to implement his spiritual DNA.

The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us how to achieve the connection between the material and spiritual worlds: faith above reason, the principle that there is no one besides the Creator, and He is good that does good. We fulfill all these conditions wishing to rise above our egoism and to be included in others, and all this in order to obtain the qualities in which we will feel the connection, e.g., the bridge stretching between the two worlds.

When Will The End Of Correction Take Place?

Dr. Michael LaitmanQuestion: Is the end of correction (Gmar Tikkuninevitable? If so, when is it supposed to take place?

Answer: When we all unite our individual egoistic desires into one desire, Adam.

Question: What is unity? How important and necessary is it to understand this term correctly?

Answer: It is the restoration of the broken connection between our separate individual desires. As a result, the only force of connection called the Creator is felt in the system of the one desire called Adam (Man) of the restored connection.

The Genetic Map Of Humanity, Part 2

laitman_553Hidden Gene

Question: Is there something in the genes of human DNA that is known to the wisdom of Kabbalah, but not to geneticists?

Answer: There is an additional spiritual charge that remains a mystery to a regular person.

For example, in the people of Israel in different generations were people who weren’t born Jewish but joined the nation and became very significant individuals in it, although initially they seemingly had no Jewish genes. There were many such cases, especially in the times of the Temple.

Consequently, this information is not necessarily transmitted through the physical body, through parents. There is a part of spiritual information in it that leads to inner spiritual development and obliges a person to fulfill his destiny without any connection to the parental home.

For example, the parents of Rabbi Akiva weren’t Jewish by birth and converted to Judaism later. But it didn’t prevent their son from becoming a great Jewish sage, one of the greatest in the history of Israel. And where did it come from? It turns out that we can’t judge the spiritual DNA, the root of the soul, according to the material DNA.

The root of the soul is part of the system of Adam HaRishon. Adam is not a person, but a spiritual system in which we all are included through our corrected desires. And then we all unite into one spiritual body. Such a spiritual body, where all parts are in harmony with each other is called Adam, the first man.

If every person corrects his desires and is ready to unite with the same corrected desires of other people, seeking to unite like brothers into one body, one desire, then we all are connected.

And then inside this connection we feel the first man, Adam HaRishon, the joint desire assembled from many private desires. Each one annulled his egoism and connected with others above it in order to be with them in one desire, like in one body.

There are such souls, separate parts of Adam, who very much aspire for this unity, and they are considered to be high souls. And there are those who are not very eager for it, and even those that are completely indifferent to it.

Such a spiritual gene, called, Reshimois present in every human being in the world, the desire for unity: positive, negative, or zero.

Is It Possible To Reach The Creator?

laitman_940Question: The Creator is in all of us, all seven billion people. It is possible to attain Him only through connection between people. If all seven billion people don’t unite, does this mean that we cannot reach the Creator?

Answer: In any case we are obligated to reach the Creator. The execution of the plan of creation doesn’t depend on us. It lies within nature and nature drives us to realize it.

The question is how to advance rapidly and easily and hasten our development through unity and connection between us and those who are around us; i.e., how do we connect the various cells to form the organs of the collective body, the collective soul, as quickly as possible?

Question: If not everyone is obligated to unite, is the person who studies Kabbalah able to attain the Creator alone, or is it possible only through the group?

Answer: A person cannot attain the Creator alone. After all, what he would he check, show, and reveal the properties of bestowal and love with? Relative to what, or whom? Regarding the Creator? And there is no Creator. One has to build it in the connection between and his friends.

A Common Ancestor

laitman_760_3Comment: A group of scientists at Britain’s Sanger Institute , which is one of the leading centers in the field of genetics, published the results of a large scale study. After a detailed study of the unique genetic structure of thousands of Europeans, they assert that at least half of the people in Western Europe come from a common ancestor who lived about four thousand years ago.

My Comment: Genetically this is possible, of course. After all, humanity grows very fast. A hundred years ago the world population was three billion people and today it is more than seven billion. If we make an approximation backward, quite possibly wild tribes wandered across Europe.

A few centuries ago Germany consisted of a few wild tribes, while today it is the most developed state in Europe. Everything happens very fast. Therefore, modern man is not very different from his barbaric ancestor. It is practically the same man who hasn’t changed at all internally.

Comment: One way or another, scientific research is basically a search for what unites Europe.

My Comment: It doesn’t matter. History tells us that the worst conflicts were actually between brothers. It is doubtful whether a person who digs into his past will be able to see the future.

He should relate to it but only in order to correct his nature. He has to totally transform his personality. But this requires a totally different system and the upper force that can perform the change.

In other words, we need a manual according to which we will be able to summon the force that corrects us, that changes each of us into a human being, Adam (Man)! A human being, and not a two legged animal.

Question: Will humanity aspire for the image called Adam?

Answer: It will aspire to it only if it undergoes great sufferings.

Question: Will humanity look for Adam as the first step toward its spiritual development?

Answer: No, it will not look for that. This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah is for. If humanity wants to listen, the wisdom of Kabbalah tells us that there was one man among all those who walk on their two hind legs, those who are called Homo sapiens, who was our special forefather.

Any of us who begin to work on themselves and try to create the soul inside themselves, begin to feel that they are the descendent of Adam, but only him. Thus after thousands of years all those who attain a soul feel that they are the descendants of Adam. Today such souls are alight like small stars all over the world.

The Web Of Connections Of The Common Soul

laitman_264_01Torah, “Numbers,” 35:33 – 35:34: And you shall not corrupt the land in which you live, for the blood corrupts the land, and the blood which is shed in the land cannot be atoned for except through the blood of the one who shed it. And you shall not defile the land where you reside, in which I dwell, for I am the Lord Who dwells among the children of Israel.

Blood is the Light of Hochma. Water is the Light of Hassadim. It is impossible to reach the harmonious society and the state of connection between parts of the common soul if we do not interact with each other correctly egoistically. Our egoistic parts have to be appropriately connected to each other.

It turns out that while remaining an egoist, each one establishes altruistic connections with others, like extending wires of altruism between themselves. I, from my egoism, head altruistically to you, and you, from your egoism, in the same way to me, but inside, each of us remains in his desire! We override this desire and work only above it, building bridges above egoism.

The most important thing is to make a restriction on myself and a screen and the correct attitude to others. Then we, in practice, place at the head of our actions all the connections crisscrossing between us, not ourselves.

This huge, multi-layer, multi-vector web of connections is called the “common soul”—one for all! Each one of us individually is nothing, but by participating in the operation of the universal “web,” it is its creator.

Commutation Between Parts Of The Common Soul

Laitman_151The Torah, “Numbers,” 36:10 – 36:13: As the Lord had commanded Moses, so did Zelophehad’s daughters do. Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah married their cousins. They married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained with the tribe of their father’s family. These are the commandments and the ordinances that the Lord commanded the children of Israel through Moses in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan at Jericho.

The law that forbids blending is related to the time, place, and tribe. It conveys multilayered combination of all levels of nature: still, vegetative, animate, and human. All of them need to connect together correctly.

Mutual support existed between the tribes but there was no intrudion of one tribe to another. Same as one organ can’t invade another in the human body.

Twelve tribes is an integral scheme. The world is also divided into the same twelve tribes, twelve organs. We can add to it another eight billion people and all of them will fit into this scheme.

Question: Will the tribes be abolished when the world becomes unified?

Answer: I don’t think they will be abolished. Perfection is achieved only due the fact that there is separation and combination. When it becomes completely harmonious, the world will be completely corrected. A plus and a minus will remain in it, opposite properties, but they will complement and always highlight and distinguish each other.

In the Torah there is a very clearly description of all possible laws of commutation between parts of the common soul that is built through the process of ascending forty degrees of so-called forty year journey in the desert, when the degree of Bina, joint correct interaction, is reached, but so far only toward the property of bestowal.

It means that I don’t harm you and you don’t harm me. We restrict our egoism and learn to rise above it, to coexist without touching each other: yours is yours, and mine is mine. And the next degree is really correct connection of all the parts of the soul, when they collide by their inner egoistic desires that grow and create between them some kind of formations above egoism.

And then, before entering the land of Israel, they reach absolutely complete state of Bina and can start an ascent to the level of Hochma. This is a very high degree.
