What Are Love and Hatred?

527.02Love and hatred are one property that manifests itself in its two opposite qualities. They are like the face and the back, two reverse sides of the same property. Their manifestation depends on understanding the importance of the quality of love or the quality of hatred.

Question: Which state is better?

Answer: In order to determine this, it is also necessary to take into account the third quality from which we will start because both love and hatred are the property of dependency.

When I feel dependency, either my dependency on someone or someone on me, then the quality of either love or hatred appears. Now it all depends on how I want to feel this dependency, either as good and desirable, which means to develop it, to enjoy it, or vice versa, I do not want to be dependent, I do not want to tolerate this property, and then, it is hatred.

That is, if someone hates me, he depends on me, and this limits him very much. But if he changed his attitude to love, he would also depend on me, but at the same time he would enjoy it.

Therefore, we must first reveal universal hatred and then come from it to love.

Live with the Problems of Society

630.2Question: Some students think that if they mention a word from Kabbalah while disseminating Kabbalah, they allegedly conveyed something to humanity. But in reality, for many people all of this is all incomprehensible.

How can one prepare correctly before talking to a person?

Answer: It is necessary to must include oneself in the entire surrounding society and try in some way to live with its sufferings and problems.

Then, quite possibly, it will be possible to somehow understandably, intimately, and cordially convey to you its problems in a sympathetic way, not in the form of moralizing, but in a pleasant way so they will not reject you, but will accept you as their own. It is then that we will understand our capabilities and how to approach people.

To do this, we must first study how humanity lives, rather than trying to tear off pieces from a closed circle and throw them into the world.

When a person begins to understand that Kabbalah is the most practical science designed to correct our world, to correct people and raise them to the level of the Creator, then after preliminary training, he will realize that he must turn to the world and lift it up. Kabbalah is a practice.

963.4Question: Is it our task to disseminate the wisdom of Kabbalah to people as widely as possible?

Answer: The task is not in the wisdom of Kabbalah, but in making a person understand that he is offered a method of existence in our changing world. After all, whatever one was taught and whatever one has is absolutely not enough for our world because it is beginning to be governed differently.

Today a new governance is descending into the world, the analog governance of the Creator. The upper world is approaching our world. Moreover, these two worlds are opposite and they do not coincide with each other, so there is a sense of contradiction between them. We feel this in the form of huge, global, internal crises.

Without understanding the singular analog control system where we have to perceive the world as one single whole, we will not be able to do anything. I will not be able to manage an enterprise, trade, world finance, the country, any part of it, or the common world—nothing!

Another matrix is being dressed on our world, a matrix which binds all people together. And if I don’t treat everyone this way, if I don’t make decisions on this basis, then I won’t succeed. It is like I’m solving this problem according to the wrong equation.

Therefore the world does not need any wisdom. It needs to know that tomorrow it will have nothing to eat and will not be able to escape from climatic, environmental, and other impacts. Tomorrow money will disappear. There will be some kind of problem in the world; revolutions will begin such that people will stop working. Millions of people in cities!

If earlier a person had a piece of field that could feed him, today billions of people live in cities! Looting and murder will begin; people will starve to death. After all, such huge conglomerates need to be supplied with thousands of truckloads of food per day! Imagine that nothing works—no ports, no railways, nothing is delivered, loaded, or accepted. And this can happen in more than one country. What’s next?

We need to explain the problem to the world as well as how to solve it! They themselves don’t have a solution. So what if they change the government? What can one person do?! How will he be able to restore order? How will he be able to overcome, say, a month of downtime in his country?!

Comment: But this has been the case throughout the entire development of mankind!

My Response: No! There was never such scale! There was no question at all that humanity should unite. Today this is a requirement from above.

Start looking at the world normally! It becomes integral, meaning, globally connected. And if we don’t look at it that way, if we don’t have such decision-making technology, then we won’t be able to do anything! Not a single banking transaction. You will, it seems, egoistically correctly calculate with your mind everything that needs to be done, and in the end: “We wanted the best, but it turned out, as always, the opposite.”

Kabbalah Is the Natural State of Man

962.2Comment: There is a certain contradiction in the explanation of Kabbalah and in its implementation. Let us say that when there is an explanation of Kabbalah, everything seems to sound fine. And when it comes to some processes, I have seen people react and say: “We respect Michael Laitman a lot, but we cannot see what’s happening on the screen.” It’s like people go into a trance.

My Response: What can you do? If you look at Hasidism, at Christianity, at Islam, or any other customs and techniques of meditation, you can see the same thing. A person falls into a trance, enters some kind of sensory state and stays in it.

But there is very little of this in Kabbalah. In Kabbalah, all this is clearly controlled. Each step-by-step state is described discretely, with informational data, the so-called Reshimot, with the transformation of analog sensations into digital ones, in the form of a clear determination of the weighting of states such as Partzufim, that is, steps. Kabbalah describes feelings in physical terms, because they cannot be described by anything else.

For a person who does not yet understand us, it is not clear what Kabbalah deals with: feelings or science? And Kabbalah is the science of feelings.

Kabbalah is the natural state of a person when he enters into an ever greater sense of his nature and the nature of the surrounding society, and discovers between himself and society some kind of force that changes him all the time.

On the Same Frequency

630.2Question: Should Kabbalah be disseminated in a form that can be perceived by a person?

Answer: How else? By studying the technology in our world we know that there must be an adaption of signals by which they pass through various communication channels.

Therefore, they adapt both to the source from which these channels originate and to the consumer. We transmit everything through very high electromagnetic vibrations.

As a result, the speaker speaks, and the listener picks up everything at the same frequency as the sounds come from the speaker. That is, we must adapt ourselves to the person so that he receives all the information in the form in which he can understand it.

Spreading Spiritual Energy

282.02Question: What is better for dissemination: when a person attains the spiritual degree and descends from it to the level of all people with his new qualities, or is it while he does not yet feel spirituality that he can disseminate this information more efficectively?

Answer: Both are good, after all.

What can a person who has no contact with spirituality at all convey? Compose some kind of smash hit or something? But if a person is in spirituality and has composed even if not a smash hit, but a good song and everyone has accepted it, then to this extent people already consume some spiritual energy.

Comment: Let’s say a person is filled with energy more and more and at some point reaches a peak where he can no longer keep it in himself, he suffers from it. Then, the only solution is to transfer this energy to another.

My Response: But the capacity of his vessel is very small.

Question: Can the need to transfer energy to the other be analogous to the quality of bestowal?

Answer: That is why bestowal is the source of reception since through it you attract new desires to yourself. They become yours.

Awaken the Point in the Heart

231.03People in our world do not have freewill. We must introduce a quality into them that is the opposite of what they have so that two qualities are formed in them. To be more exact, it is not to introduce, but to excite a point in the heart. It is in everyone, and we need to awaken it.

When it manifests itself in a person, then you can work with him, but not before that.

People in whom there is only one quality are called animals, and those in whom there is a point in the heart are already called men according to the future that can develop from it.

A System You Can’t Run Away From

275Question: Kabbalah embraces a broad view of the world. What is the best way to convey information to make it easier to understand?

Answer: The information itself is very global, and at the same time it includes all special cases.
Let’s say I have a business. I will not be able to run it if I do not take into account all of humanity and the interconnectedness between people. But how to do it?

It means that from today or tomorrow onward I have to think: “I need to obtain something, sell it, and transport it somewhere. But it won’t work if I don’t start thinking about the whole of humanity, that at the same time it should be good for everyone else, that I take for myself only what is necessary for existence, and I give away everything else so that everyone can enjoy the results of my work.” To act in this way?! Wow!

But this is required by the governance descending on us today from above. If we do not comply with it, then it will inevitably start to break us, and it will get worse. Crises of various formats and nature will become more frequent.

All this needs to be explained at the smallest level. I care about something else, about my job, about my child, or about my family. Do I focus on the fact that without thinking about others, I will not achieve a normal life even in my home?

I inevitably have to think that all of humanity is one single whole. There is no other way! I have to get accustomed to this image and gradually instill it within myself. With more willful effort I can approach it, and the sooner I will discover that it is indeed so.

It will suddenly begin to open up to me as if emerging from a fog: “It turns out that indeed everything is interconnected! What to do?! Where to go?” Or the other way around: “How to accept it?! How to grasp it?! How to work with it?!”

It is a system you can’t run away from! It should not seem to me like something defiant, as something threatening, but on the contrary, as salvation! Not salvation from the fact that I feel bad now, but salvation from this futile life, from this emptiness, from this transient life, a transition to something bright and eternal.

Language—The External Expression of Inner Essence

525Comment: Hebrew is the language of Kabbalah. But why is it that you can perfectly convey the subtleties of the soul in Russian too?

My Response: The thing is, in my native language I can express the essence of spiritual feelings concisely, clearly, and correctly. I once had an excellent vocabulary everyone admired.

However, over forty years with limited use, both in volume and time, there is little left of it. But still I speak quite precisely, as far as one can express spiritual feelings in Russian.

It has a vast scope of necessary words for spiritual expressions, not precise, but sensual. On our earthly sensory level, this is an excellent language for explaining the spiritual. But a little above, it won’t work anymore.

Over time, as we delve into the upper world, we will see the roots of all languages. But the Kabbalists did not give us the key to them. After all, any language still comes from our nature, from our essence.

Therefore we can express the spiritual essence also in English, Hebrew, Russian, or almost any language because they express the inner essence of a person externally. But we don’t have the key to them.

Should we go up to look for that key? Do we need to? I do not know if this will still be in our future. We don’t have much time left to correct this world and rise above languages, above all the sounds and symbols that separate us. We just need to connect in feelings. In the spiritual world there are no differences between souls, which is called “soul to soul.” So there will be no need for languages.

Languages originated in ancient Babylon, as people stopped understanding each other. Everyone began to speak different languages. But if we speak the same language, then in the end I think it will still be Hebrew because all the symbols, sounds, and the structure of our speech organs are explained and spelled out in it. All the methodology, literature, and sources have already been prepared for us by the Kabbalists of antiquity.

Thus, except for the two related languages Hebrew and Aramaic, all other languages appeared in Babylon when egoism delivered a blow to the small humanity who lived there and began to divide it. The egoistic division between souls was the reason all other languages were created.

But the moment we begin to connect, all these languages will also connect among themselves. I do not know how to describe it, but they will combine together again into one common verbal apparatus.

Imitating a Kabbalist

165Comment: When one of the students quotes you, it sounds ridiculous because it is obvious that the person is not at that level. But when you speak, it is completely different.

My Response: It is because there is inner attainment and energy in my words since I am talking about what I feel at the moment and bring it down to the level of the person I am talking to and I pass it to him.

Question: When a person quotes you, but he is not at that level, does it give him something?

Answer: Of course. By constantly repeating me, he somehow adjoins me, and I, in turn, to the upper one. In this way, he connects to the spiritual ladder from the world of infinity and up to it like a small child who tries to become like an older one and thus grows. Contradictions, however, will not give a person any growth.
