One Percent That Made A Human From A Monkey, Part 4

laitman_754Animals live in the current moment and don’t feel past, present, and future. They have a very short memory, and they can’t know what happened to their ancestors a thousand years ago or what could happen in a thousand years. They don’t care about the distant future, and they do not sit on international committees discussing the future of the world.

A human, however, constantly worries about his future or regrets the past and almost never lives in the current moment. It turns out that we are worse off than animals. If we knew the answer to the questions: Why do we live, where did we come from, and where we are going?, we would have been higher than animals because we would see the whole perspective.

But we don’t know this and every moment we ask ourselves about the purpose of our existence, which makes us the most miserable creatures. Nature won’t allow us to concentrate on the current moment, but makes us explore the past and the future in order to discover our source and ultimate goal.

We don’t want to be tied to our body and live like animals. Human life is not limited to one physical existence; a person wants to see the entire world from end to end, to see the future and understand why he lives.

The law of cause and effect acts everywhere in nature; each phenomenon has its cause and effect. I also want to know what the cause of my life is and what is its effect? Why was I born? There must be an answer to this question established in nature, because everything in it is consistent and obeys higher logic.

If nature develops such a clever and unique creature as a human and gives him such questions, it means he is obliged to find the solution and discover what he is living for and why.

Question: Doesn’t a chimpanzee want to find out why it is living?

Answer: No, chimpanzees only care about how to live this moment better, how to establish a life for themselves and their descendants, but nothing more. Animals even care for their children only for a short time. Then the young grow and the connection between them and their parents ends.

Question: So it turns out that all the special abilities of a human have a completely different purpose that we are looking for, but haven’t found yet?

Answer: Of course! Nature designated a special mission to us that we haven’t discovered yet. We are probably not yet ready to use it correctly, and therefore, it remains concealed from us. However, questions we ask ourselves now and the disappointments we face push us to develop, causing us to clarify this question and answer it. This is the main task of the current period.

Question: Does this explain the chaos that rules everywhere now?

Answer: “Crisis” means the birth of a new degree. This is the correct translation of the word.

From Father To Son

laitman_740_01Torah, Deuteronomy, 10:06 – 10:07: The children of Israel journeyed from the wells of B’nei Ya’akan to Moserah; there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son served as Kohen in his stead. From there, they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Yotvath, a land with streams of water.

Death in the spiritual world isn’t a punishment or something terrible. When the son comes to replace the father it means the rise, for example of Aaron, to the next level.

It means he dies in his last guise, in his past performance of some actions, because he can’t rise to the next level without leaving his previous form. Then he obtains a new form that is called his son. But in principle, all souls are immortal.

They don’t lose anything; they only gain all the time. In other words, it is about a desire that transforms under different names until it comes to its final corrected state.

Connection Beyond Distance

Laitman_721_03Question: How can we develop a serious connection between us when great distances and different time zones separate us?

Answer: This is not a problem! Even if we are in different worlds: you are in this world and I am already in another world, it doesn’t matter, we can be connected with each other. Believe me, there are no limitations!

It also makes no difference where we are. I have wonderful students in Russia and America. I love my students from all the South American countries very much. I feel their advancement regardless of the geographic location.

Don’t think that the students who are near me are the most advanced, definitely not! They may be more advanced in certain mechanical actions, but lately the dissemination that the Moscow group and a few other Russian groups have been doing is far ahead of the central Israeli group. Currently the American groups are also overtaking the Israeli group and catching up with the Russian group.

Therefore, I don’t see any obstacles for my connection with you and all the groups between themselves. It depends only on you.

If there is at least some small physical contact through the media and Internet, we can always be connected. And then we will move to such connection that exists in other planes that are a different type of waves. Then you will communicate directly with me, and we will be in contact with each other soul-to-soul, and no parallels and meridians will separate us from each other.

I promise you that! This is how I am connected to my teacher; otherwise, I wouldn’t receive from him what I do today. The Book of Zohar and many other sources tell us about such states.

At the moment we don’t feel the connection between us only because the concealment acts in us this way. In fact, we all are imbued by an infinite number of links! Let’s awaken them between us and you will see where you really are.

“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.

Our Soul Is Part Of The Creator

laitman_621Question: How should a person treat his own soul?

Answer: The soul is a part of the Creator from above. Therefore a person should feel that he cares for his soul, which is a part of the Creator in him, and this is what he does constantly as the most important thing.

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.

The Spiritual Gene, Part 4

laitman_231_04It seems that our life is built on account of the material genes that determine our appearance and qualities. However, in fact, there is a spiritual charge inside each of us, the spiritual DNA that leads us to where we can connect with each other.

The spiritual DNAs must meet, get included in each other and connect in accordance with our efforts. And in order for us to apply proper efforts we are placed into such an imaginary reality as our physical protein body.

Question: What does it mean to connect through the spiritual DNA?

Answer: We connect into one man, Adam. This is a connection where each one fulfills another in everything. I feel your desires, fulfill them, and exist only for this, not leaving anything for myself. And you do the same, and so do all others.

The wisdom of Kabbalah helps us realize our spiritual DNA, and everything exists only for this purpose. The material world is an illusion that doesn’t exist in reality. It is given to us specifically to confuse us and direct us correctly to the realization of the spiritual DNA.

Question: How does the spiritual DNA of one person differ from another?

Answer: The spiritual DNA is determined by the place of each person in the general system that is called Adam Rishon, first man. The place determines the spiritual purpose of a person, how he must influence others, and what should be his spiritual participation in the general correction. All this decides his fate and the material one too.

Question: If in the material world one person kills another, does it mean that his spiritual DNA was broken and worse than the others?

Answer: We can’t judge so unambiguously. There are a variety of different calculations here. But if he harms a specific person, it means that it is written in his spiritual gene because everything comes only from there. Our world is a world of consequences.

The material DNA is controlled by the spiritual DNA and pushes a person to all sorts of actions. Everything we do is connected with the spiritual DNA because everything comes from it. The material genes are just an animalistic body that acts according to the orders of the spiritual DNA.

Spiritual is the main thing, and the material world is given to us because we are separated from the spiritual system that is called Adam. And therefore it seems to us that we exist independently in our bodies. But there is not any freedom in this.

The spiritual DNA is defining, because it must reach realization, and the material DNA is designed to help her in this, like a donkey that serves a person. Our body is an animal that has to perform actions that help spiritual development.

Laitman_096Question: Where is the spiritual DNA of a person hidden?

Answer: The spiritual gene doesn’t have a place to be found; it is the same as not being able to find where the desire of a person hides. It is impossible to extract desire from the body, only when the body dies do all desires disappear from it. However, the spiritual DNA doesn’t appear and disappear because it exists in a space where there is no concept of time.

Question: How does the spiritual DNA select into which body to dress?

Answer: All individual spiritual DNA (Reshimot) are connected between themselves into one perfect system. And in order for this system to come to an understanding, awareness, and a sense of itself it has to go from the state of its full shattering and disconnection to the state of complete connection. The system should go through this process gradually, implementing itself and achieving unity through its free choice.

Part of the process that leads the system to the correct connection that we undergo is through external links. That is, we don’t feel that we are involved in one common desire and remain indifferent and alien to each other’s desires. This perception is called the sense of this world, meaning that all exists on the basis of the fact that we feel like strangers to each other.

The spiritual DNA determines all material development. However, it is difficult to trace this dependence because the spiritual DNA acts according to completely different laws where the beginning and the end connect together and where there isn’t any freedom of choice, but everything is strictly predetermined.

Yet with respect to the people taking part in this system, there is complete freedom of will, therefore the future is still to be determined. We may be distanced from one another but spiritually connected so much so that we instantly affect the fate of each other.

The Spiritual Gene, Part 3

laitman_929Question: What is the difference between the spiritual DNA of one person and another?

Answer: The spiritual DNA is defined by the place where the person is in the general system. This entire DNA is assembled into one desire, one form, and one network that is called Adam, a man.

Question: What determines which family a person will be born into?

Answer: The spiritual DNA determines what parents should give birth to the child in order to provide him with the optimal conditions for his self-fulfillment. They should help ensure that his spiritual DNA evolves and reaches connection with other DNA in its pre-planned form.

Question: Is there such a thing as spiritual genetics? What does it study?

Answer: Of course, spiritual genetics is the wisdom of Kabbalah. Spiritual genetics, like the material, also studies the ways of development of DNA, but 99% of its practice is the correct, optimum, practical, and rational use of the individual DNA and common genomes that are connected into groups and systems.

Question: The material DNA is required in order to build a body of a person. What is spiritual DNA needed for?

Answer: Material DNA and the entire material world are illusionary and exist only in our imagination. It doesn’t exist in reality. It exists only until we implement our spiritual DNA. The spiritual gene is a foundation of the creation that really exists, and we must implement it.

Our world is a dream that we see only so that we would achieve the proper implementation of the spiritual DNA. Everything that seems to us as a material world doesn’t exist in reality. Even modern physics already agrees with this.

Physicists have studied matter and realize that it is composed of photons, light particles that are both waves and particles that don’t have any form. And the combination of these particles into one form or another depends on who is watching them. This world doesn’t have a form of its own, it simply doesn’t exist.

The Spiritual Gene, Part 1

Laitman_632_1Question: If inside every person there is in addition to a material gene also spiritual DNA, then how does it get to him? Is this spiritual gene also inherited from parents to children?

Answer: It is very difficult to explain. We can say that the spiritual genes are not inherited, but the qualities that facilitate their awakening are transferred.

By giving birth to a new life, the mother gives material dressings for spiritual DNA. Of course, there is some connection between one another, since the characters of a mother and a father are passed to a child. These are relatively material qualities, but they nevertheless affect realization of the spiritual gene. After all, absolutely everything is aimed at the realization of spiritual DNA.

The material world has no importance on its own, no goal of its own; everything is designed only to achieve the realization of the spiritual gene.

Question: I have four children, but they are so different. They received the same genes from the father and mother, so why are they so different?

Answer: Because the father and mother are also different. Although they are the same people, inside they include many different qualities. And most importantly each time the spiritual DNA , the Reshimo, enters the world, it has a special purpose.

Therefore, for the sake of the spiritual destiny of the child, from the father and mother are selected qualities that aren’t the most dominant, outwardly displayed, and visible to us, but the ones that are most suitable for the proper growth of the spiritual DNA of the embryo.

Spiritual charge defines all other qualities. If our spiritual DNAs are connected between each other, we have to realize this connection. However, since we are not ready for it yet, we are placed into a material shell and it seems to us that we have material bodies, common affairs, and some kind of relationship.

However all this is just an imaginary reality, designed in order to bring spiritual DNAs closer to each other. This is the only function of this world. And then it disappears.

Question: Does it mean that any connection with some people at work, with neighbors, with husband or wife, any interaction between two people has a purpose to realize spiritual DNA that starts this entire process?

Answer: Of course. This world doesn’t have any other function apart from this: providing us with a place of work and bringing us closer to each other at a time when we can’t yet influence our spiritual DNA and begin working with it directly, like in a laboratory.
