Adjust Your Focus!

263Comment: In principle, you always talk about one formula that can correct humanity.

My Response: What if there is nothing else besides it?! What if there is nothing more than ten Sefirot? I am only talking about how to connect them correctly, discover the entire universe inside you, and finally understand that everything you see happening outside is an illusion.

I am talking about a single world inside of you, so you can see it by reversing your focus. When you change focus, you suddenly begin to understand that you saw just an internal reflection in front of you, nothing else. Suddenly your eyes open and you see a completely different world.

This is what we must come to! To a world in which there is no life and death, no physical movement. These are all our inner sensations that create such an illusory volume in us.

I want to gradually bring you to this understanding so as not to confuse you. After all, you can say: “So he is a mystic, not of this world; he is spinning in some of his dimensions.”

Therefore, I do not talk about many things. I am explaining at the same pace nature does, and today it obliges us to move forward. I am helping you understand the evolution that you are obliged to make today, either in a good way or in a bad way if you do not obey.

Question: If I am not close in my feelings to the topic you are talking about, what then?

Answer: Then “Daddy” will give you a good smack with his belt. You will feel a little pain, and you will start to listen to what Mr. Laitman told you. You will suddenly remember what Kabbalah says: “Maybe I can somehow soften these blows, or at least receive fewer of them.”

At the Mercy of Nature

272Question: How should a person conduct inner work to understand that there is no turning back and we need to break through into spirituality?

Answer: Humanity must understand this partly from the blows of fate and partly from our explanations.

Today, many scientists engaged in sociology, politics, and economics say that we have become closed into one common whole and therefore cannot escape at all. No one wins by robbing someone, it very quickly becomes a disadvantage for him.

In the global system, I cannot play at protectionism because it will come back to me like a boomerang. I cannot separate myself from everyone else.

One country cannot isolate itself from others because the system is closed. It is the same natural system, we can’t not breathe.

Why is the banking system unable to do anything with money, distribution, or the economy? Because they are under the control of the same closed system of nature, and only today are they beginning to realize it.

We are all at the mercy of nature. We just need to understand this, feel what our capabilities are and what tools we have in our hands to improve society, raise the standard of living, make the country more powerful, including security, and so on.

We just need to understand how to improve the forces that are working today in the system of mankind and in its separate systems within the countries. If we do not learn this, then we will all suffer greatly.

In Spirituality, the Main Thing Is Quality

281.02Comment: We get new people in the world group all the time, some of them disappear somewhere, but there is always some kind of backbone that practically does not change.

My Response: I do not control it, it does not depend on me. I give what I give. A person listens. If it is close to a person’s soul and it has already developed to such a level that he can continue further, then he stays; if not, he leaves.

If he can annul himself a little in front of a group that has already been formed, he stays; if not, he spins in outer orbits, he comes once every couple of months for holidays or congresses, virtually participates in some kind of communication, and that is all. There are many of them; I do not count them.

I am not interested in quantity at all. In spirituality, the most important thing is quality. That is why I go forward all the time, dragging the others with me, pushing them; I see my main job in this. After all, what you put into others remains and does not die with the death of the human body. It goes further in the entire cycle of souls and brings all mankind closer to the goal. This is the most important work.

In addition, we do the same work at the level of the broad masses of the population; that is, we distribute  the science of Kabbalah in a more acceptable form for them. The Internet and social networks are ripe for this.

We see that more and more people agree with us, understand that this is necessary, and that in this way they are given a very serious opportunity to advance to the extent of their participation in the distribution of our materials in virtual networks. They will really be able to advance because they really participate in the unification of the world.

I Never Repeat Myself!

552.02Comment: It often seems like you repeat the same things over and over.

My Response: No, it is not the same. I am working through the material within myself and trying to give you a completely different kind of energy, to relate in a different cause and effect way what I am saying.

I give out information and believe that my blog is an educational source. A person who wants to study the science of Kabbalah should attend morning and afternoon lessons and read my blog.

If you read it more carefully, then everything I bring there gradually shapes you and creates a certain inner atmosphere, thanks to which you begin to look at the world with different eyes.

I know one thing—when a person feels bad, he is ready to listen to the same thing from morning to evening, like some kind of mantra. Again, again and again. He needs it because it gradually works in him. And even if he reads the same thing, he will suddenly see a deeper meaning in it, wider connections.

Therefore, when you say that I repeat myself all the time, it seems to you purely external now. Then you will understand that I seem to have repeated something because I have gone to the next level and shown you that this is connected with this and that with that. But if you have not gone deeper with me, then at the same level you feel that I am supposedly saying the same thing.

I never repeat myself!

The Desire to Share Wisdom

232.01Comment: In H.G. Wells’ novel The Undying Fire, written in 1919, there is a dialogue with the Creator, with God. The writer seems to have read Baal HaSulam. They seem the same: “The world is at an impasse. Crisis.”

My Response: Science fiction writers are special people, and they anticipate a lot of things. Look how much is written in the novels of Jules Verne and other science fiction writers about future discoveries and inventions long before they appear: submarines, helicopters, etc. It is just that egoism begins to think this way and thus awakens to new fulfillments.

One should not think that there is some kind of Kabbalistic conspiracy here, that Kabbalists direct some kind of a ray of light on the world from above, and our world therefore begins to spin faster and discoveries occur. They themselves are consequences of the egoistic development of the world.

The law of nature is the law of nature. There is no point in appointing a person, even if he is a Kabbalist, as the arbiter of destinies or the world.

The only thing is that a Kabbalist comprehends nature, knows how to use it correctly, and wants to teach others about it. That is all! There is nothing special about it! He is not a superman. Of course, he has super knowledge, but he can apply it only in the presentation of the method. If others want to use it, then something will work out; but if they do not want to, it will not.

For example, Baal HaSulam tried to pass the method on to the world, but no one wanted to accept it.

That is why the Second World War broke out with all its consequences, including the extermination of six million Jews and so on. He could not prevent anything.

A Kabbalist is like a wise person who sees everything and tries to share his wisdom, but no one is interested in it.

What Influences the Opinion of a Kabbalist?

051Question: What influences your opinion at certain periods of time? Students? Events? What makes you start saying certain things?

Answer: My opinion about the world, about its governance, about the system of governance does not change.

When this entire huge system, the upper world, and then our world change in their interaction, then I can also say something new and perhaps even relevant about our world and its interaction with the upper world.

In principle, this system is absolutely clearly built for me. I see it, I feel it, I understand it. If there are any changes in it, then we can talk about them.

If there were no serious changes in our world under the influence of the upper world, if today the corporeal world was not awakened from above to its balance with the spiritual world (because it is precisely the lack of balance that we experience as a general, global, integral crisis), then I would not talk about anything. I would study the wisdom of Kabbalah as a theory, without any connection with our world, which will be embodied in our world who knows when.

I studied it this way in the 80s and 90s and did not believe at all that I could live to see all this being clearly embodied. And suddenly, it started.

Kabbalah appeared in an explicit form. I see how all this is spinning in the world in accordance with the upper governance. And I see it clearly!

Dissemination and “Growing Pains”

504Comment: There are people in our groups who have some positions in the world, but they do not want to reveal themselves because there is a certain image that they do not want to put on themselves.

Sometimes I am ashamed of what they do.

My Response: I am absolutely not ashamed because there is so much nonsense in the world, so much trash, so much garbage. From politicians, people of culture, science, art—what isn’t there? Everyone does stupid things.

If our people, due to misunderstanding, that is, without receiving proper training, begin to do something on social networks before they receive clear instructions, then I am not ashamed. These are growing pains. I am not ashamed of them.

They are like kids who get their diapers dirty. So what? This is a child, such is his age, he is not capable of anything else. He tries to do something well, but it turns out the way it turns out.

It is like when a child takes something delicious out of his mouth and brings it to you. He wants to share it with you, but he cannot do it any other way. Of course, you do not like it, you are not on that level. But it is better than when an adult sneaks up on you from behind with a baton.

Therefore, I am not ashamed of them at all. Of course, they should act differently, but these are growing pains and it will pass.

The World Is at the Red Line

293It is through the shattering and its correction that we acquire the properties and mind of the Creator. Therefore, it is clear that the shattering must be revealed; otherwise, we will not be able to connect above it and reveal the Creator. But why is shattering manifested in such extreme forms nowadays?

The fact is that all the shattering has already happened, but it is being revealed only today because we are already able to correct it. Terrible crimes and great suffering are being revealed on a global scale. Apparently, this is not the limit for the meanness of the evil inclination, which will continue to show itself to us in a much more terrible form.

The prophets warned about the problems that could be before the very end of correction if humanity does not follow the path of light. But we cannot say that we do nothing for correction, we do a lot and influence the world with our work.

We are doing everything possible, and we are not yet capable of more. Of course, we do not calm down and do not give up, but nevertheless, this is not enough for the height of the final correction. It has not yet been revealed in the world.

If everyone connects with their ten and through it with the upper force, they will be able to attract from its positive forces for the world. Nothing more is required of us.

We should not accept that the egoistic inclination rules the world. After all, it opposes the Creator. We have reached such a red line of the triumph of egoism beyond which it is simply unacceptable to go. Death is better than such a life, and therefore we are ready to do everything for the sake of correction.

Climbing a Steep Staircase

709We have gone through the stages of evolution from inanimate, vegetative, and animate, and after the animate, from monkeys, we physically turned into what we call people.

And now we must turn into people on another level, the spiritual level, because man (Adam) comes from the word “adomeh” – similar to nature, i.e., a huge integral connection, which we must become like. We must become harmonious, connected, balanced, like nature, one with it. This is the union with the Creator since nature is the Creator.

But this can be achieved only through examples of unity between us. When we unite among ourselves, then it will be the absolute equivalent of our unity with nature. This is the whole Kabbalah, there is nothing else.

This is the elevation to the next level of evolution. Today we literally stand on this step, gradually bringing one leg to the next step up, and we do not have enough strength to throw the other leg up. Here either a blow from behind by a world war or something else awaits us, or we ourselves will nevertheless stretch forward and be able to do it.

We know how hard it is to climb stairs, especially for the elderly. They cling to the railing and pull themselves up with a stick. They need to be taken by the hand and helped. That is how all of humanity is.

No Need to Get Used to the Bad!

272I hope that we will be able to tell everyone in  the world about what they must do to make them feel good, and in such a way that they will not immediately reject it, but will try to understand, learn, and hear.

If this happens, then it will be good, and we will smoothly move the potential barrier to the next level. If not, then it will be bad, and we will have to wade through the thorns of wars, barricades, coups, bloody murders, or anything that can happen for any reason.

After all, due to the lack of a real and reasonable way out of the situation that has arisen, an explosion occurs from the social pressure accumulated inside: from bitterness, fears, depressions, and the inability to remain in this state any longer. Then death is better than living in such a state all of the time. I am very afraid of this.

Question: Do you think that communicating with a person through a crisis and explaining the causes of it is an effective method? Or are there some things that can attract a person more?

Answer: I do not want to communicate with anyone through the crisis! I did not create it, as parents sometimes deliberately arrange such tricks for children so that they pay attention to something or do something else. We just want to explain to people what the cause of their condition is. We do not create these conditions ourselves!

A person does not need anything except to get out of the crisis. And he only thinks about having more money, power, fame, knowledge, pleasure, and so on. In general, he wants to absorb everything in this world so that it is in front of him as a free choice. Nothing else! These are his needs.

People need to understand why they are unable to satisfy their needs while working today, and many of them have ceased to want to satisfy them at all and are depressed.
