Remark: Today respect for teachers is rapidly falling. In high school students are violent toward teachers. A high rate of threats are reported to come to teachers from students. Many of them even turn to actions. Everyone is looking for an example of a teacher who a person can respect and follow, and they do not find it.

My Comment: Children see the teacher as a scapegoat: “What are you teaching us? What kind of world are you giving us? What do you want from us?” and so on. That is, there is a lot of anger in them toward this world.

They cannot receive fulfillment, saturation, and satisfaction from the world, and therefore, it turns out that they throw it on the teachers as representatives of this world, who are in front of them every day for many hours. And teachers make them do some exercises, solve problems, and pass unnecessary exams.

Question: Do children understand that they will never use this in life?

Answer: Of course. Today, the teacher represents the most hated being in the world for the child, which forces and restricts them. This is a legal jailer.

Remark: Needless to say, this is terrible. I remember my teachers, I did not have such a feeling. It seemed that it would be useful one day. Now everything suddenly spilled out with a great force.

My Comment: People do not need anything from what happens at school, from what they learn at school. They do not need any of this, and they will use nothing.

Question: What does a person need from a teacher? What wisdom?

Answer: Connection with others. A good, correct connection with each other. Only this should be taught at school. And “two plus two is four” is added for the development of the brain. Thus, there is nothing we can do about it, we will have to redo all this.

It is necessary to teach, of course. Yet, to teach what a person needs in life in the first place. And this is only the correct connection between people.

Question: Can we continue to provide education on the basis of this connection?

Answer: Give education, give whatever you want. But the main thing is the correct education. Otherwise, education with these exact sciences will lead people to build weapons and everything else leading to the means to harm each other.

Remark: In other words, give him physics, he will make a nuclear bomb. Give him chemistry, he will create chemical weapons.

My Comment: Of course. What do you want from them? You taught them that. You did not resist the fact that nature always increases egoism in them. Taking into account the fact that egoism is constantly developing in them, you gave them knowledge so that they could use this egoism to their own detriment. Involuntarily, the teacher becomes a source of evil.

Question: If the message from the teacher is: I am teaching you to connect with people, to connect with nature, will this hatred go away?

Answer: The teacher should explain that we are all one system, that we should be connected with each other in good ways, and not in evil ones. No matter what we are connected. However, our task is to turn an evil connection into a good one. Then we will begin to feel a completely different world in this good connection between us.

Question: Will children feel this?

Answer: We need to do this so that those already in school would feel this. Then the teacher will be desired, the only one.

Question: What or who changes the generation: historical events, natural disasters, technologies, social values, or an internal plan?

Answer: An internal program.

Question: What should the younger generation get from the older generation?

Answer: They should get an attitude regarding the purpose of creation in order to continue it. Everything changes, except for the trend of evolution toward the goal of creation; this doesn’t change.

Question: Is it possible in the modern generation of consumption to elevate the authority and significance of parents in the eyes of the children?

Answer: If children will begin to relate correctly to the purpose of life, to the discovery of the next level of existence, to the discovery of the upper world, and the parents will support them in this, then in this way they will strengthen their authority and significance in the eyes of the children.

Question: How can you characterize in a single word or sentence our generation after the coronavirus?

Answer: It is as a generation that has been given a special task, and I hope that they will realize it.

Question: Must the same universal principles that you express in your books and lectures be adapted for each generation and in particular for our generation?

Answer: Absolutely. I am working on this.

Question: Who or what should shape the generation?

Answer: The generation is shaped by people who understand what is standing before the generation. They discover problems that are facing the generation, the methods of realization, and they try to direct humanity toward a solution.

Question: Each generation is smarter and more adapted to life. Do you agree with this statement?

Answer: No. Every generation has the potential to solve the problems that nature presents to them. But simultaneously, it requires a very strong directing hand.

Question: To what generation do you consider that you belong?

Answer: I consider myself to be between the old and new generation, a generation that has not yet taken shape, which I am helping to see the way.

Question: The generation determines the collective experience. What kind of collective experience can you recall from your life?

Answer: The collective experience in my life didn’t give me anything except a big negative sign. Whereas all that is positive, I received only from my teacher.

Question: The conflict between fathers and children has been going on for generations. What is the main feature of the current conflict?

Answer: The current conflict is that children must rise to a very different level of existence from that of their fathers. They must, in connection with each other, reveal the next stage of development, the upper world, which the fathers did not yet attain. Their fathers were subconsciously striving for this, but they did not know exactly how to define and form this stage. And children today have this opportunity.

Question: What or who can connect fathers and children?

Answer: The goal that stands before everyone, through which we must pass and reach the absolute state.

Question: How do intergenerational conflicts affect the entire system in a global, interconnected world? Will this difference increase or decrease?

Answer: The difference will grow depending on how generations solve problems of interaction between themselves and within themselves. In this state, they will affect the overall picture of nature, which, in turn, will affect them.

I hope that at the same time, the intelligence of humanity will grow and thus compensate for the contradictions between generations.

Remark: North Korea has declared war on intimate relationships between teenagers. The head of North Korea Kim Jong Un declared intimate relationships in adolescence was treasonous and announced plans to make it a punishable offense.

According to the head of the DPRK, sex between teenagers is “immoral sexual deviancy,” and it is caused by “decadent capitalist influences.” Control began in schools.

My Comment: Good education is not built on violence. In addition, today young people between the ages of 14 and 15 are such teenagers, if you can call them teenagers, that in our time people were at the age of 20. Of course, it is very difficult to keep today’s youth from all kinds of sexual relationships because everything is open. They have the Internet, but people are still people..

Question: What should replace their fervor that naturally pushes them toward each other?

Answer: I think that it cannot be replaced because the desire for sexual satisfaction is very strong in a man, especially in a teenager. Of course, I would give them a very serious education.

Question: What would you teach them?

Answer: Everything! Anatomy, physiology, psychology, sexology, what a man and a woman are, what birth is. I would definitely teach and show everything through all sorts of movies. There is nothing to hide. That only makes it worse. They will be busy with it even more, and they will acquire all kinds of misconceptions. The forbidden fruit is sweet. I would definitely open all this.

Question: Where would they come to as a result?

Answer: Where they are now, but in a normal form, without any distortion. They would know how they are built, what nature requires of us, what our psychology is, so that we behave correctly, that we are pleasant people for ourselves and for others, so that we are not ashamed of all this.

Just raise it from the level of secrecy to the level of frankness. You will see that all this has a completely different taste, a completely different attitude.

Question: Would they come to the correct connection?

Answer: Yes, there must be a correct connection. It still does not exist today. Still today sexology, anatomy, physiology, and psychology of correct sexual intercourse are not taught correctly.

Question: Would you include into this understanding what friendship is and what love is?

Answer: Yes, it “clothes” in this. Then both friendship and love will be human components. Human, not animal! If I am hungry, should I eat? So, I should have this as well. This is what my body requires, what can I do?! I think only about this. Food and then sex, that is all.

Question: Would friendship and love then clothe in this base?

Answer: This does not relate to physiology that much. Then you need to understand how to put it together.

Question: A quote from a mother of four children went viral on the Internet: “If the coronavirus does not kill us, then virtual education will.”

Why did she say that?—Educational institutions were closed for one and a half billion students, the rest will be closed one way or another. About 50% of these children do not have access to a home computer, 43% do not even have Internet connection. In third world countries, 80% cannot study remotely.

We keep saying that this is the future, that this is how everything will develop. How can those children for whom it is not available be provided for?

Answer: There will be one computer for ten families—it does not matter. But all the same, gradually it will be so.

Question: Do you still think this is the future?

Answer: Undoubtedly. People need to get used to virtual education. Moreover, somewhere in Africa, it is not known what kind of teacher teaches them and what they are being taught.

It should be a very clear system, a virtual network that will lead humanity to unity. Any child in any country will begin to receive training and educational teaching in accordance with the general program. He will study what everyone is studying. Worldwide!

Can you imagine what this will lead to?! People will begin to understand each other, will be spiritually connected with each other.

Question: This unified educational and training system will connect them. As a result, one might ask, will one language appear?

Answer: Of course. In the end, yes. But this is not so important.

Question: Do you think that there are no different mentalities: for African children—one thing, for American—another, etc.?

Answer: There is no more mentalities today. Practically all of this has long been broken.

Question: Will this virtual training and educational program be aimed specifically at connection?

Answer: For consolidation, unification, fusion in the mind, in feelings, in forces, in everything, in all subjects of study. All children will learn the same thing. There will be a single world exam. This is a new level.

Remark: After your words, I want to start thinking about these children that they have a computer, that they have everything. It is necessary for leaders to have this thinking. Not only among leaders, but among people too.

My Comment: What is the problem with having one computer for 10 children? Let these billionaires fork it out and that is it.

Remark: There is one problem here, there is no such training and educational program you are talking about.

My Comment: There is such a program! Let there be computers everywhere, and let us start studying.

Remark: What you said is important. That is, the main, constant goal is only to connect.

My Comment: Children must begin to absorb through all sciences, examples, through everything, that the world is a single force.

New Life 1142 – Integration For Peace
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Global education for peace requires the daily practice of every citizen. First, we need to learn what peace actually is and how human egoism impacts it. Then we need to explore ourselves, our own limits, and our motivations. When we make efforts to unite, we discover the differences between us, and the way to rise above them all.

Smaller groups need to connect before integrating them with other groups to form larger, connected groups. When every detail is aimed at benefiting others through the realization of the method of connection, peaceful integration occurs.

Remark: There are several Jewish wisdoms that are said to change the future of our children.
The first one: “’Experience’ is the word a person uses to call their own mistakes.”

My Comment: Yes. Experience has to come, be born, from one’s own mistakes. If there are no mistakes, there is no experience. It cannot be that a person reaches any correct conclusions if he did not make mistakes.

Question: Is it possible that a person does not make mistakes?

Answer: No. A person cannot do the correct thing if he has not made a mistake in it before.

Question: Does he have regrets that he made mistake?

Answer: It is this regret that produces a correct action.

Question: Do we pass this experience to our children?

Answer: You want to pass it to your children, but they must make mistakes.

Question: Will they have their own experience?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Does it mean that our experience will not help them?

Answer: There is no need. Each generation must make mistakes and come to the correct conclusion and thus move forward.

Remark: That is, everyone has absolutely their own experience. It is the experience of mistakes.

My Comment: Without this, you do not receive clear information, data, sensations, anything, if you did not experience it in all these situations.

Remark: Quote: “If you accidentally got angry, give the anger a chance to stay overnight—just keep quiet until morning.”

My Comment: From our life, we see that this is good. This is called “the one who shuts his mouth during the conflict with the other.”

Question: How can a person do that?

Answer: Through exercises.

Question: What happens in the morning? Will I not be as angry as I was before with this person?

Answer: No, on the contrary, maybe you will be grateful to him.

Remark: Quote: “There are two methods to rise above your neighbor: the first is to rise above yourself, and the second is to put down your neighbor. It is not advisable to use the second method. Rather than digging a pit for someone else, throw these forces at creating a hill for yourself.”

My Comment: It is always worthwhile to rise above yourself. You are growing in this way. Thus, there is no need to pay attention to the other, even from the egotistic point of view. Instead, rise above yourself to some new, more perfect state.

Question: Is it possible to rise above myself at all?

Answer: Of course, every minute.

Remark: Usually, we do something very different, we put down the other.

My Comment: You use the other in order to rise above yourself by accepting his point of view.

Question: Is this called that I annul myself?

Answer: I annul my previous self in order to make an upper one out of myself.

Question: This quote has an interesting ending. It says that if you use the second method, that is, put down the other, you are building a hill for yourself. Does it mean a grave mound?

Answer: Of course.

Question: In other words, if you put down the other, is this in fact your death?

Answer: Yes. On the contrary, rise above others, use this opportunity. Use the other, his criticism, his attitude toward you, let go of yourself, bend down, and then you will rise above yourself.

Remark: Quote: “Do not be too sweet or they will eat you up. Do not be too bitter or they will spit you out.”

My Comment: I say what I think is right. This is what I have “on a platter,” as they say, this is what I give you. You choose: is this sweet or bitter for you, or you can throw it away altogether. Let people see that this is who I am.

Question: What about the fact that people want to see you sweet and you are bitter? A person needs to follow somebody. They are looking for someone to follow.

Answer: Well, it is not necessary to follow me. In any case, I am like this, I will not change! I believe that what I say anyone can understand.

Whether he agrees or not is up to him but at least he will understand. I speak my opinion, I do not alter myself to his opinion so that he will listen to me or respect me and make sure that he is right. I do not do that.

Question: The quotation attributed to Buddha, “If you truly love yourself, you would never harm another,” seems to be a simple wisdom. What can you say about it?

Answer: If you really love yourself and understand what kind of world you live in, the integral world, how much it is all interconnected, then you will not harm others because in this way you indirectly harm yourself.

Question: Why did you just connect “love yourself” with “the integral world”? After all, to love oneself is an egoistic desire.

Answer: But if the world is integral and you influence the world negatively, then it comes back to you.

Question: That is, I feel that it comes back to me? So if I love myself, then I will not do evil to another person because it will return to me?

Answer: Yes. If the world is integral, then harming oneself or others are one and the same thing.

Question: And in loving myself I still do evil to another person?

Answer: I also harm myself this way.

Question: Does this mean that everything comes back? Does the boomerang effect exist?

Answer: Because the world is closed. It is round.

Question:  What do you have to say about another quotation attributed to Buddha: “Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.”

Answer: In principle, this is also true.

Question: So I should be grateful no matter what I have. Even if I am in the worst condition, I should still rise to the level of gratitude?

Answer: Gratitude is a prerequisite for receiving the feeling of happiness, the feeling of the light.

Question: How can I be grateful if I feel so bad? It is just impossible!

Answer: It depends on your perception of the world. Why is it so bad? Try to raise yourself anyway.

Question: Even in this state, I am obliged to reach gratitude?

Answer: Gratitude must be present in any state. Even a second before death.

Question: Do all prayers begin with gratitude?

Answer: Of course. And if there is no such attitude, then to whom do you pray?

Question: The state is high, of course! So whatever my condition is, I first give thanks?

Answer: Yes. But this is because you divide yourself into two parts: dark and light, suffering and thanksgiving.

Question: What can close the gap between generations?

Answer: I hope that the past generation will be wiser and kinder to the new generation and the new generation realizes that it faces a very serious task to decide what the meaning of life is. They need to decide on their own, because the past generation will not be able to show them the way, but will support them.

We are at a stage when a new generation must acquire a new methodology, a new ideology, a new attitude to the world and to life. I wish them that.
