Question: In addition to being attached to other Kabbalists, you must pass on the spiritual method to the general population. Is this chain necessary?

Answer: Yes, it is necessary. Beginning with the Ari and on, the development of Kabbalah is impossible without adding ever larger parts of humanity to us.

Previously, it was only for those who were once in spiritual attainment, that is, for the descendants of the Jews. But from the end of the 19^th to the beginning of the 20^th century, the next stage began when Baal HaSulam started writing that all of humanity is one family.

Then the period of spiritual mixing of all desires, all souls, was totally completed. Therefore, today we cannot think only about some specific areas or population groups.

Question: Why is it important that you make contact with a large mass through your students? Why not directly through huge public lectures?

Answer: I am preparing students to continue this path of correction that goes from Adam through Abraham and so on. I want to give them the whole methodology in theory and practice so that they can continue it further.

How much longer can I teach and generally live on this earth? Well, five, ten more years, and then what? Therefore, I strive for them to learn more and more from me and gradually move forward.

Also, I physically cannot be in all parts of the world and participate in all events. So, I am very glad that my students all over the globe are engaged in Kabbalah and are doing well.

Question: Who before Baal HaSulam changed the world so much that it brought certain changes?

Answer: Baal Shem Tov, and before him, the Ari, and even before that Rabbi Shimon and his disciples (the authors of The Book of Zohar), before them, Moses; before Moses, Abraham, and before Abraham, Adam HaRishon.

Comment: But there were quite long periods of time between them. And now, as it turns out—Baal HaSulam…

My Response: Baal HaSulam and Rabash are practically the same. It is a bundle. Because Baal HaSulam passed this methodology only to him, and it as if did not develop further. When I brought students to Rabash and we started studying together, then he opened it up and developed it. And now, we are in essence continuing what Rabash gave us.

Question: All in all, did it matter that Rabash was the son of Baal HaSulam?

Answer: In this case, it does not mean a physical son but a spiritual one.

Question: Let’s say, the Ari lived during the Renaissance when the world concretely changed its perception. What were the additional changes in history according to the lives and deaths of great Kabbalists?

Answer: Then there were small changes, but it does not matter because all other changes were already directed toward spiritual correction. After all, you cannot exactly impose one axis upon another like spiritual development of humanity and some of its historical milestones.

For the last two thousand years, the mixing of people has taken place on Earth. This does not mean that everyone lived together and produced offspring from each other. The fact is that the mixing was in views, feelings, rapprochement, and the transfer of all kinds of states. It ended in the time of the Ari, and starting from the 16^th century it was possible to begin the correction.

This happened under the leadership of the Baal Shem Tov. In fact, we are guided by his method because Abraham did not have a method of extracting a point in the heart from egoism. He worked on it and all his followers continued to develop it above egoism, but there was no such state to extract a point in the heart in the conditions that developed after the expulsion from the spiritual world.

People existed in attainment of the spiritual world before the destruction of the Second Temple, and then there was a complete expulsion from the spiritual world, and now we are starting to rise again.

Baal HaSulam created the practical method of ascent, formed it, and Rabash supplemented it with group work. We are now implementing this method in action, in practice, and giving it a finished practical form.

Question: Do you have self-identification?

Answer: No, I am trying to be a machine, a robot, that is, to direct all my desires, thoughts, and goals as much as possible in such a way as to function for the sake of the desires of others for correction.

Comment: But at the same time for a long time you were a fairly big egoist who developed throughout life.

My Response: I am now an even bigger egoist, frankly speaking.

Question: But all the same, all your life you were in some way identifying yourself as Michael Laitman. You could not become like that right away, could you?

Answer: No, of course not! Such a thing happens after twenty years.

I got acquainted with Kabbalah in 1976, and since then I have practically not torn myself away from it. I did everything that was necessary to support myself, but in general, I acted in everything only in order to find a teacher, learn, and develop further. This is movement from within.

Question: At what point did you begin to identify yourself with the entire world?

Answer: Back in the early 80s I spoke with Rabash about the fact that, as Baal HaSulam wrote, the world from 1995 will be completely different. Before that, I talked to him about Baal HaSulam’s dream to create a commune, something where people would work together, provide for themselves, and engage in Kabbalah, and most importantly, in internal work among themselves. We talked a little about these topics, but it was all fantasy, utopian.

Then the world really began to change very dramatically, especially after Rabash passed away. He left this world, and the world became completely different. Not for me; I still had the same spiritual contact with him, an even stronger one.

Question: How is it possible that say, a Kabbalist dies and the world changes dramatically?

Answer: The presence of a Kabbalist on the corporeal level means a lot. Although spiritual energy has nothing to do with all kinds of objects in our world, it is still of great importance.

Filed under: Dissemination, Q&A, Spiritual Work - No Comments →

There are two ways in the development of humanity. One way is terrible and full of suffering. There is constant growth of egoism without something to oppose it, when suffering gradually beats us to death time after time, generation after generation, drives us to war, famine, diseases, all kinds of climatic disasters, into all sorts of troubles!

Any problems may arise here! Suddenly, such a disaster can sweep across the globe that half of the population will die of some kind of infection. We have a lot of all kinds of infectious and genetic problems ahead of us, anything at all. Therefore, we are given the wisdom of Kabbalah so that we do not go through all this, and gradually test our egoism, which would push us forward.

After all, we have to reveal egoism from the smallest egoistic level of our world to the great egoism of the highest spiritual degree. If we move from our current state, the lowest on this scale, then until we reach the 125^th degree, we will have to experience enormous, incredible suffering. At the same time, people will not be able to die, because death for them is a salvation, they will not even be able to help themselves by committing suicide.

We see how easily our world turns into people devouring each other. We have no idea how the upper forces are playing with us, how shaky our civilization is.

We need to show the world how we can advance in a good way and gradually establish  our interactions with the help of the upper force. People do not believe that this is possible because there is no way to attract the upper force into their arsenal. Only we have it. We are establishing this contact because we are studying Kabbalah, which passes through us, through me.

The group receives and will receive through me, even if I am not physically there. This connection does not disappear anywhere, it stays no matter what. In the same way, all other Kabbalists are the connecting links, the chain, to the upper light.

Therefore, we need to give this opportunity to people. It is like we are saying to a person: “Take it! Look, I have a tube through which the upper force, the upper light descends. You can take it, correct yourself and behave in the best way in this life, in this world. This will give you spiritual energy, a sense of where you live, why, how, and for what. You will be able to adjust your life correctly.

Now, from this moment on, you will be developing in our world without suffering, in attainment of the eternal good pleasures of the upper world. You will attain the entire universe, the Creator, such levels and such dimensions that you cannot even imagine. This is not Hollywood with its fantastic pictures. You will be a person standing in the middle of the universe, in the middle of all the worlds.”

We need to set an example for the whole world of what we achieve if we use the knowledge of Kabbalah to unite, not even the masses, but several tens of thousands of people.

How much better, more airy, and more spiritual they will begin to feel. What good interactions will develop between them. As the safety and cleanliness in their areas where they live will increase, there will be fewer diseases and fewer problems with children. Even the money they have will suddenly be enough for everything. A person, without changing anything, will stop experiencing any problems.

The upper light that manifests between us will begin to somehow average everything and pacify. And people will agree with this and be happy with it. They will stop being ill, they will start smiling. This is how Baal HaSulam describes the future society in his article “Concealment and Disclosure of the Face of the Creator.” We can come to this.

Can’t we make people happy? I would give everything I know and understand for this.

Today, for most countries, this would be a method of salvation. And tomorrow it will be the same for the whole world.

Comment: Suppose a person heard you and suddenly felt something unusual, exactly what he had always wanted to hear. This feeling, which he is guided by, is the truth for him until other people come and say: “Think it over,” which starts to turn on the person’s logic, his reason. And this reasoning of other people  stops a person in his development.

It often happens that a person begins to predict something in advance. He already condemns himself to failure in advance because he tries to build everything logically. And you always say: “Do it, and the reason will come.”

My Response: Yes, because, as a rule, you use the reason that you have accumulated in advance that is based on your previous unilateral egoistic development. The mind is unilateral, and therefore, you cannot do anything with the help of the previous program. You should close your mind, start upgrading, and deal only with attracting the upper force that will do it for you.

And if, while attracting the upper force, you work with your previous past mind, then nothing will work. Then you fall out of everything, both from your past egoistic activity and from your future one.

Close your eyes, blindly follow your teacher, and realize that there is no other way. I hope that soon this will be understood not only by my students who have not yet realized this, but by the whole world. People will have no other choice; they will feel that they have eaten their pudding and nothing good will shine for them any longer.

Having done away with their egoistic economy, that is, with all their egoistic calculations of how to exist in the best way, they will come to the realization of the evil of their nature and the need to exit it. But how do you get out of your own skin? This is what I have to explain to them.

There will no longer be any doubts; there will be a demand that simply says, “Do with us what you want!”—just like that.

As Baal HaSulam writes, we must sit down and study, and this will reform us. As we re-educate, society, the media, everything, will change. We will digest ourselves, and slowly but daily, taste this change for the new, rebuild the systems of social relationships, of the influence of governments on the people, of the interaction of states among themselves, and gradually rebuild everything under the influence of education by light.

The true state of humanity is bestowal and love. How can we get to this, and arrive gradually? By conducting all kinds of seminars, through new literature, new art, new mutual relations, and new examples from all sides.

Then a person, as it were, enters a completely different environment and begins cooking himself internally and externally. In accordance with this, people will almost immediately begin to feel changes in themselves because light acts in a huge mass of people. These are amazing changes. These are such transformations!

People start thinking differently; they themselves reduce their egoistic zeal and forget about their egoistic dreams of getting more and more. All TV channels focused on “where to buy” and “what to sell,” which are built on egoistic stimulation, are being shut down. Completely different television and public channels are being turned on that are built on absolutely different principles. And re-education, re-education!

This system is created based on the system of nature that was formed naturally from the world of infinity. When you aspire for it, you just arouse it in yourself.

Here the method of simple induction works. When you approach a magnet in a magnetic field, like in a piece of electrical wire, a current appears in you. All kinds of mechanisms, generators, dynamos, etc. are built on this principle. A metal wire moving in a magnetic field causes electrons to move in it, that is, an electric current.

It is the same with us. We have to move in this field and then a “current” will be induced inside of us. And that is it; nothing more is required because in this case we will feel a completely different nature.

Question: When contacting people, how can you make calculations about the success of the action?

Answer: You don’t know what success is. It is quite possible that you will “get hit on the head” from the result of your work, and this will be a success. Success may not be according to the fact that everything would end successfully as you had planned.

How do you know what real success is, in what form it is, and how it should fall on you? It is possible that in reality, failure is a success, otherwise, you and your luck, according to your calculations, would have sailed away to who knows where and burned your life. Failure leads you to the next step, to the need for elevation, while luck, on the contrary, relaxes.

Question: Have you had any clear examples where you have seen such things in your own experience?

Answer: Sometimes my teacher Rabash quite strongly “flicked me on the nose.” It was very painful and insulting to me, but to this day I am grateful to him for it. He did not do enough of it, and it should have been more. He loved me too much.

Question: Is it really possible to achieve success only through blows?

Answer: And how else can you cope with selfishness? There is no other way. Our nature, whatever one may say, never works in a calm, pleasant state.

Of course, the blows can be sweet when you grind yourself inside the group and know that you are winning at the same time. That is how you should set yourself up.

Question: What information did Kabbalists have throughout centuries, what secrets of Kabbalah, did they not  divulge? What were they silent about and how could this information have harmed people?

Answer: The Kabbalists had absolutely all information. What was hidden from people, you ask? Is Kabbalah a science that develops like other sciences? The ancient Kabbalists were initiated into all mysteries of nature. There are no such Kabbalists today.

Question: That is why I ask: What secrets were there that they could not be spread?

Answer: It was the same as today. The same secrets. For example, there is none else but the Creator. There is only one force in the world.

Question: And this could not be disclosed because people believed in many different forces?

Answer: They invented them for themselves.

Comment: In principle, the ancient Greeks would have been very offended if there were only one force.

My Response: What would they do? They would have nothing to engage in. How many statues, sculptures, and so on exist in Ancient Greece! Each village has its own museum.

People were at such a stage of development that they could not perceive that there is one force.
