Question: How can we maintain the right intention and thoughts during and after the convention?

Answer: During the course of these hours, we will realize the necessary preparation, and then at various times you will go back to it. I highly recommend this. What happened here will remain with you and you will feel the importance of it.

Whether you want to or not, life in the near future will awaken you to such a degree that you won’t be able to forget what we discussed here. If you work toward correction, the message of the convention will come forth as a positive sensation. And if you neglect this goal, you’ll experience a negative sensation.

So don’t worry, you won’t forget. I no longer worry about my students running off. The kind of life that awaits us will quickly force us to get back to business. After all, we’ve entered a stage of correction of the entire world. You can delay it on your part, but if you don’t wish to take independent action, the Light will put the kind of pressure on you that will arouse your desire.

I hope that you will become afraid of the big blows and that it will oblige you to move forward without awaiting painful pricks from behind. I say this in all seriousness. I want you to run from the blows and that’s why I put things so harshly.

The ARI Institute successfully participated at the the 8th Forum of Ministers of Social Development of Latin America organized by UNESCO.

The international forum that took place in El Salvador on July 11-12, focused on social policies for youth within the framework of the UNESCO Management Social Transformations (MOST) Programme.  Ministers of Labor and Social Development from Latin America and the Caribbean gathered to analyze the challenges facing the region in terms of unemployment and educational problems, subjects that concern today’s societies in general.

As ARI Institute we had the opportunity to present our views on global and integral education as a solution to the crisis, as well as the use of the new technologies for the sake of an educational system that truly responds to the needs of an increasingly interdependent and interconnected world.

These innovative ideas generated enthusiasm within the audience. New opportunities for mutual collaborations were discussed with UNESCO officials and with other educational institutions, in order to create pilot programs for virtual education to youth.

The President of the Government of El Salvador, H.E. Mauricio Funes Cartagena, participated in the opening session, as well as Ms. Pilar Álvarez Laso, UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Social and Human Sciences, and Dr. Julio Carranza, Head of UNESCO Social and Human Sciences Program for Latin America and the Caribbean. The event was also attended by representatives from several United Nations agencies such as the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) and the International Labour Organization (ILO).

A letter I received: The Toronto Group spent an incredible weekend full of love and unity in the Canadian wilderness. There are no words to describe the sensations experienced by all. What we can say for sure is that there is a strong sensation of advancement toward our common goal and lots of fuel in our tank to begin preparations for the Toronto Convention!

Excerpt from a letter of one of the participants: “We were sitting at night and singing, the mood was festive and warm, the fire was burning, the men were standing together, hugging—they looked so identical, reliable, and solid, like a rank of solders.

Suddenly, a feeling came over me that I’m sitting here with my spiritual nation which has never fallen from spirituality, and this is the life that never ends….”

My interview with the EFE News Agency in Moscow was published on a number of international portals worldwide. EFE is the leading Spanish language news agency and the fourth largest news agency in the world.

Moscow, June 16 (EFE). Dr. Michael Laitman, scientist and teacher of the ancient wisdom of Kabbalah, today brought some 2,000 people to the Russian capital.

“We have about 70,000 Russian-speaking students in our International Academy of Kabbalah, including those living in China, Japan, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe,” Laitman told EFE.

Born in Vitebsk (Belarus), the founder of the International Academy of Kabbalah “Bnei Baruch” maintains a strong link with Russian culture, present throughout the former Soviet Union.

Professor of ontology and epistemology, with a Master’s degree in bio-cybernetics, and author of more than 40 books, Laitman promotes a major change in the consciousness of humanity.

The Academy founded by Laitman, with 2 million students around the world, treats the current crisis as an economic and financial phenomenon, but above all, as a moral collapse with cultural and social repercussions on all of humanity.

“This crisis is not a negative phenomenon, but a turning point for us to reach a higher level in our development as a civilization,” he explains.

In a globalized world and a global crisis, Laitman insists that humanity should “aspire to unity and harmony to meet the challenges of the historic moment” and find a “global and comprehensive solution.”

“Instead of demonstrating in the streets, as in Spain,” Laitman says, people should “begin to study, prepare for the new integrated world.” Meanwhile, the political and economic powers “should provide people with a minimum wage.”

Laitman describes himself as a scientist, “a realist,” not a mystic. He is convinced that his ideas are not utopian and can become a reality. EFE

International portals that published the interview include: Yahoo USA/International, Univision (the largest Spanish-language television network in the US), Terra International Portal, a number of sites in Spain, Mexico, Venezuela, Columbia, Peru, and others.

Question: If all of the desires keep changing and taking on different shades, must I long for something specific, or do I need to strengthen the desire in the form closest to me at the moment?

Answer: No, the women’s desire must be formed into a collective, aggregate, integral women’s desire aimed precisely at the goal. Each woman must analyze the desires inside of her and aim them at the goal to the maximum, as much as it is possible at any given level, in each state she finds herself in.

However, after these desires are basically formed, they must be felt by the men. And men will undoubtedly feel them since they are built this way; they gradually feel the women’s desire. This is like in a family where the wife may not say even one word to her husband, but he feels how she is quietly pushing on him, as if pointing, wanting, and waiting for something from him. He feels this, and he will not relax until he fulfills her desire. In some way he eventually must resolve it.

In the same way, the men should feel this from the women, and the women must constantly work on crystallizing in themselves a more and more definite desire.

Question: During the preparation for the Moscow convention, many of us focused on the thought that the convention had already started, and we truly felt that we were already there. Should we constantly concentrate on the state of the convention?

Answer: If don’t see ourselves living at the next, higher, spiritual degree, we will never ascend to it. We should do what little children do which, for us, is an example of how to study the spiritual level while being on the physical one. If we don’t yearn to grow up, we won’t. Therefore, visualizing unity as an ongoing, permanent convention is undoubtedly useful.

Concerning the group, we should do the same. In my imagination, the group resides in the corrected state. The only wicked, uncorrected egoist is me. Thus, I am supposed to strive to be with them, visualize that I am already part of them, and clarify what I need in order to be included.

Our entire world is imaginary. However we see it, that’s what it is. Nothing is real. All of this is merely a figment of my imagination.

Put everything in its place. Give everyone, be it a group, person, or quality, a certain value, a specific degree, and you will see that thereby you are tuning the world like a musical instrument to make it fit you.

Everything depends on how you will tune it. What will be higher and lower for you will determine the direction in which you will move: either to evil or good, to stealing and drug abuse or to love and bestowal. It is all up to you as to what kind of world you will create for yourself. The world as it is doesn’t have any form. It all depends on how you attune yourself to it.
