“Spectacles” From Kabbalists

laitman_962.4Question: Usually, to calm the masses, they are given bread and circuses. The government will give bread. What spectacles can Bnei Baruch give to the world?

Answer: We are trying to organize a round-the-clock broadcast of useful programs necessary for humanity in all possible languages. For this, we have certain capacities, people, and all kinds of templates. I hope we can do this.

Every day we prepare all kinds of programs, video clips, songs, and lessons to convey to a person what, in principle, he should know about his life, his purpose, why he lives, what he meets after the death of his animal body, and what to do with his soul, with the spiritual point in it that is eternal, perfect, and does not die with the body. We must tell a person all of this.

We need to help him find contact between himself, his “I,” and his soul so that he does not divide himself into two parts: the body and the soul, but rather, combines them into one “I.” We want every person to have such an opportunity. I hope we can do this. At least we will try.

How Can One Feel The Development of the Soul?

Laitman_043Question: Can a person feel one’s soul develop?

Answer: At a certain point, a person begins to feel that a soul is developing within him and that it is demanding certain actions from him. Sometimes a person performs instructions blindly, not knowing whether they arrive from within him or from nature that dictates them to him. Perhaps the Creator wants him to behave in a certain way and to perform actions that may turn out to be as if he were forced to perform them.]

On the whole, there are versatile, mutual relations between a person and the Creator.

Why Do Events Repeat?

laitman_571.03Question: Why are the same things happening in our lives? Why is there a recurrence, a repetition of events?

Answer: It is so that we can gradually correct ourselves. You cannot do it all at once. Therefore, we go through many life cycles.

Moreover, each time the soul goes through what is called genesis or reincarnation, there is a partial reunion of souls, followed by another separation, and again some subsequent combination. As a result, all of the souls are completely corrected.

I advise you to read materials about the cycle of the souls. Souls means desires that are gradually transformed from the desire for oneself to the desire for the sake of the Creator.

Kabbalistic Terms: “Reshimo”

laitman_527.12Reshimo is an informational record that exists in creation so that it can somehow orient itself in the past, present, and future, and direct itself toward the goal.

Usually people simply have an understanding of where they exist. And the elderly with dementia (memory loss) do not have this, so they just do things without any basis. In the same way, the Reshimo decisively commands a man and determines his forward movement.

A Reshimo is in the soul, at each level and sublevel. Where there is a desire, where there is light, there is always a Reshimo, which connects this light and this desire and controls them inside the soul.

Kabbalistic Terms: “Soul”

laitman_626Question: Where did the term “soul” come from?

Answer: The term “soul” comes from the word “Neshama.” There are five states of the desire in Kabbalah similar to the Creator: Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, and Yechida.

Nefesh, Ruach, and Neshama are states that we can reach and constantly stay in. The highest of them is Neshama. Therefore, this is the name of our spiritual part.

In addition, there are also states called Haya and Yechida. But these are supplemental, temporary additions to the state of the soul.

Is There Life After Death?

Laitman_506.3Question: Is there life after death?

Answer: It is precisely after death that there is life. And until we free ourselves from our egoism, there is no life. We feel our existence inside the ego, and it is petty, very mean, and very limited.

As soon as we get rid of egoism, even with the help of the death of our physical body, despite the fact that this is a very small redemption and a very small level of ascent, it still brings us liberation from the first egoistic level. We are beginning to understand that, in fact, nature and the world exist in a different dimension, above egoism.

Question: People living in their circle do not have time to think about anything more than that because they need to feed themselves and their families. Therefore, probably, egoism eats up humanity nowadays. How can we get out of this little circle?

Answer: This must be explained, this must be taught. It is for this purpose that I created a Kabbalah academy that operates in practically all languages ​​of the world, on all continents, and includes several million students. We conduct lessons and lectures, meet each other, and organize international conferences and other events.

But the current virus, this last system of perception of nature, which is now gradually entering our consciousness, pushes a person to realize where he lives, why he exists. And here he has no way out.

In either the good or the evil way, we will have to understand the full picture of integral nature and how to exist in it. We must get to the right integral interaction with it. We ourselves must become integral.

Reveal Your Soul Now In This Life

laitman_963.1Question: As far as I understand, the positive side of nature that we need to attract is to begin respecting nature. When people go to the country, they leave a lot of garbage behind, and few people think about the fact that they need to clean up after them.

What is the use of positive energy? How can we say that from now on I will take responsibility, I will be a conscious person who understands the forces of nature and lives on a higher frequency?

Answer: Thank you for your question, but we are talking about a completely different level of influencing nature. After all, our human nature is absolute egoism. Even all our seemingly positive, good, kind actions, love for children, for the world, and so on, come only from egoism. Our world is controlled by only one force. The second force is concealed and we must reveal it. Therefore, people do not understand what they should do.

It is not enough for us to treat each other nicely, this will not change anything. There were many such attempts in history. We must learn how to attract the positive force of nature, the plus that would begin to act alongside the minus, and we will exist between these two poles.

Then, certainly, we will find out what a perfect, eternal world and eternal existence are. We will understand that a person exists not only in the earthly form (physical body), but there is something eternal in a person, called the soul, and it must be revealed while living in this world now, today, here.

We need to reveal our future states, that is, the eternal perfect world that exists around us, but we do not see because we perceive only through our egoistic qualities. This is all we need to learn and gradually explain to people.

And they must understand that a person living in this world must rise to the next, new degree and begin to feel the true world.

This is possible. I have students who have attained this. And the system we study and implement is called the wisdom of Kabbalah. It allows you to do this.

Question: Are you talking about universal love that we can call absolute love?

Answer: No, you cannot call this absolute love because I cannot love evil. I just want people to treat each other with this goodness that is inherent in nature.

Then, through the correct system of good and evil, we will be able to distinguish, as black and white, the true picture of the world. The veil that hangs over us will disappear and we will see with our inner and outer vision that we neither exist on a small planet nor in some closed volume of the cosmos but in completely different, upper dimensions. This we must reveal now, today, in this life.

What else do we exist for? Is it in order to fulfill ourselves with small pleasures and die peacefully?

Question: You are saying that we should not love evil. However, there are a lot of aggressive people in the world and a lot of evil comes from them. What creates this aggression? How can it be cured?

It seems to me that true absolute love helps illuminate the dark side of a person’s soul. Is there a cure for this aggression and evil?

Answer: Patience and example.

Patience against a person’s evil and a good example that he could understand. Nothing else.

In Utero Development Of The Soul

Laitman_507.05It makes no difference who we are, since wherever we live, each of us has a record of data, Reshimo, of where he is, and his state in the general soul of Adam. This is the reason that the Reshimo is called the point in the heart.

Taamim means one who wants to taste a good taste in life, should pay attention to his point in the heart, to the embryo of the soul, the spiritual drop of semen.

Every person has a point in the heart, except it does not shine. Rather, it is like a black dot. The point in the heart is the discernment of Nefesh (soul) of Kedusha (holiness), whose nature is a vessel of bestowal.

However, she is in a state of Shechina (Divinty), in the dust, meaning that a person regards her as nothing. Instead, to him she is as important as dust. This is called Nekudot (dots/ points).

The solution is to increase her importance and make its importance as Tagin (crowns), like “a Crown in his head.” That is, instead of being dust, as before, he should raise her importance to be as a Keter (crown) on his head.

At that time the Nefesh of Kedusha expands in Otiot (letters), meaning in the Guf (body), for the Guf is called Otiot. In other words, the Kedusha spreads from potential to actual, called Otiot and Guf.” (The Writings of Rabash vol. 3, article 34, “TANTA” (Taamim, Nekudot, Tagin, Otiot)

…except it does not shine. Rather, it is like a black dot. A person doesn’t even feel that he belongs to something or to someone. But if he does begin to feel this, it is already a step forward. A person is given some basis of a feeling that he lacks something, and if he begins to develop his yearning, he can move forward.

The point in the heart is the discernment of Nefesh (soul) of Kedusha (holiness), whose nature is a vessel of bestowal. As long as a person does not develop the desire to bestow internally, he feels his yearning as a black point. This is how we begin our spiritual path in this world, when we feel that we are at a dead end because of the circumstances that have led us there, and nothing attracts us and nothing pushes us. The black point pushes us forward, but it is by sufferings and doubts and not by yearning or the light that shines ahead.

However, she is in a state of Shechina (Divinity), in the dust, which means that the Creator is wrapped in black, in a cover that we don’t understand, and do not find attractive, and which a person doesn’t value at all, meaning that a person regards her as nothing. He doesn’t see anything in it, and quite the opposite, his whole life begins to seem pointless, tasteless, and meaningless. Eventually he is pushed forward as a result of uncertainty and emptiness, and he wants to find a meaning in life, but nothing illuminates for him in the meantime. This is how the in utero development of a person’s soul begins.

On The Threshold Of Renewal Of Humanity

laitman_537Question: Studies have proven that up to 60% of the human genome is modified by viruses. That is, the coronavirus is, in fact, the carrier of structures that are very close to the proteins of our cells.

There is a hypothesis that nature, with the help of the coronavirus, is performing a global reconstruction of humanity. If so, what should we, as humanity, become?

Answer: I do not know. It is of no interest to me. According to what the science of Kabbalah says, we are in the last generation, that is, we are approaching the state wherein we will have to rise above egoism and begin to explore higher properties, levels, layers of nature, where we are outside the body.

There is no inanimate, vegetative, or animate matter there, there is nothing but our consciousness. And all the previous layers of matter will disappear from our feelings and cease to exist. We will come to a world where there is only consciousness.

Question: Is this the reconstruction of humanity? Will humans be different?

Answer: Yes, a new humanity. Such a state is called the last generation. This is what we are going through now. It will continue for some time until the blows of nature and our correct interaction with it will raise us to a level where we will exist only in our consciousness.

Question: Does it mean that there will be no bodies but only the totality of all our desires and thoughts?

Answer: Yes. There will be no sensation of corporeal bodies, qualities, and forces. There will be only consciousness. It will be common for all and everyone will have their own. As it is written in the Torah that “the spirit of God was hovering,” but there is no matter yet.

Remark: It is interesting. It is similar to viruses. I read that they also live in colonies, they have common consciousness, and they understand each other. Can we become a modified virus?

My Comment: We can become the individual souls that interact with each other in this way, forming one common perfect system called “Adam.”

What Does A Kabbalist Know?

laitman_961.2Question: Many people in the world, even those unfamiliar with Kabbalah, believe in some kind of the upper force, a God. What do you think they are praying for? How is their prayer different from yours as a Kabbalist?

Answer: The fact is that, being at the corporeal level, they simply believe in some kind of upper force, upper mind, upper predestination, plans, goals, etc. They believe in what will happen to them after they leave their bodily shell.

They believe, but a Kabbalist knows. He feels it. For him, it is the next level of existence, which he is already in.

Question: And what do you know that do we not know?

Answer: I feel the existence outside the body, because in fact our bodies do not exist. It is only necessary to neutralize your egoism, and then you will cease to feel the heaviness of this body, which pulls you and controls you. You will begin to feel how your soul rules and leads you.

Question: And how do you pray for those who have become infected with the coronavirus or sick with other diseases?

Answer: I do not pray for them. I am just trying to tell everybody about what kind of people we should be: mutually kind, interdependent, feeling that we are connected by an upper nature so that we do not violate the laws of the correct communication of nature, and in this way come to a state of kindness, reciprocity, and love so that all our transgressions, initial claims to each other, and anger are covered with love.

This, in principle, is a prayer. I ask the Creator to give me the strength to cover all negative attitudes toward people, to the world, with positive ones. Not to remove them, but specifically to cover them: “Love will cover all transgressions.”

Question: What would you wish for yourself in this difficult period?

Answer: I would wish for what I always do: as much force as possible to do good to the world to the extent and in the way that the Creator leads me.
