For Future Generations

laitman_214Question: We devote our entire life to the development of our egoism. And what can we leave to the children? How do we make the right correction?

Answer: We Kabbalists are trying to prescribe for the future generation, and even for our own, a method for the correct use of negative internal human forces and external positive forces, meaning the egoistic forces inside us and altruistic forces outside of us, in order to correct a person, to make him or her harmonious with the surrounding society and with the general nature.

This is something we must setup now in our generation. And the next generation, including our own, will begin to apply it and will continue to develop everything in practice for the future generations.

Laitman_524.01Team Building Principles: The Importance of the Goal

Question: There must be certain rules in a group that will constantly return people to the values we cultivate that are not in the outside world.

The first rule: artificial cultivation of the importance of these meetings, because  we can achieve any goal only together. An active presence of people at each meeting is required, as well as their participation in all team activities.

What leverage can the group use to make everyone feel responsible for everyone so that people have the importance of these meetings, even if they do not always feel it?

Answer: And what will a person receive from this? First of all, I would ask what I will gain from the fact that I become actively involved in all meetings, convergences, and outings in society, and try to propagate everywhere an integral connection between all members of society.

Therefore, a person must be given a very clear understanding that his health and the health of his children, society, their well-being, protection from coronavirus or some other misfortune depends only on the measure of uniting the society, and now he is trying to make this society healthier.

laitman_527Goal of a Group Working on Uniting

Question: A team is a group of people united by a single goal and mission.

People create sports teams to win games, business teams to make money, and spiritual teams to strengthen in faith. And for teams working on uniting, the goal and the means are the same. How can it be?

Answer: If we create a team whose goal is to unite, the question arises: Is unification a goal or only a means to achieve the goal?

Many relate to unification not as a goal in and of itself. For instance, when creating teams, unity is necessary to successfully perform certain tasks. Therefore, in our case, we also need to determine what the goal is.

We want to achieve unity in which feel the next level of human existence, where a special principle of similarity to an integral and unified nature is inherent in the unification.

If we reach a state of unification to strive for a single goal, ready to sacrifice our private egoistic goals, then we will rise above ourselves, above our egoism, and begin to feel the next level of nature—integral, global, and unified.

In principle, this is the purpose of our development. We create a group in order to learn how to unite, to reach a state where all members will feel as a single whole.

Question: Can one say that the goal is a good, harmonious life in family, in society? After all, it’s hard for a person to understand what this new level is.

Answer: Of course, because that is more understandable and closer to everyone. That is, the goal is communication skills. If we learn how to interact correctly with others, we will have good lives.

Are People Ready For Spiritual Change?

laitman_961.2Question: It looks like the majority of people are not yet ready for the perception of highly spiritual, abstract values. Maybe it’s worth considering publicizing some kind of everyday code of conduct that could be understood by most people?

Answer: I understand you and to some extent I agree with you. But when big problems fall upon us and the whole world suffers from them, then naturally an understanding arises that we are in a global, integral, reciprocal connection, and we will have to do something about it.

But people cannot say whether they are ready or not. They will never be ready for spiritual change. Never ever! They will not succeed. But life will make them do it. I think it will still happen in this generation.

On The Path Of Knowledge

laitman_962.1Question: From your lectures, I understand that there is an animalistic, egoistic nature of a person. There is also the upper force that leads us to the development of our altruistic nature. However, is it possible to attain this force if we do not experience altruism in action?

Answer: It is very difficult, practically impossible. In order to actually realize a connection with the upper force, you need a group. A small group, preferably of ten people, who will engage in the same development as you.

In principle, you need to develop integral qualities within yourself in order to feel what is outside of you. If you do this in a group together with your own kind, then in the correct connection with each other, you will find exactly in your ten those qualities that begin to detect the external force, that is, the Creator, and you reveal Him in the connection between you.

Question: What you do is also a certain way of serving people, where you give them the opportunity to come into contact with the method of Kabbalah. In other words, this is a kind of altruistic path, and it is not limited to the ten. Does it mean that it does not have to be ten people? Can it also be humanity?

Answer: This is still called a ten, whether it is humanity or several people.

Question: As part of our path of knowledge, is one of the points that we are striving to reach some kind of connection with the absolute through understanding Him completely?

Answer: Yes. This is the result of studying and correctly applying your forces in order to fully connect with the upper force.

Question: Is the other point to which we aim finding harmony?

Answer: Attaining harmony is based on the constant revelation that we are in the opposite state to it. However, the yearning should be precisely for harmony, to include all the forces, all the qualities, all the thoughts into one unified whole.

Question: If a person advancing along his path of knowledge came across one or another Kabbalistic form of truth, then is his further service associated with creating a space where other people can also get acquainted with it?

Answer: Of course. This is the general progress, the general correction of the world, its general advancement toward the goal. And the goal is an integral connection between us by the good forces.

Attain Paradise While Living In This World

Laitman_507.04Question: The pleasure of connection does not seem very tempting to us. Why? According to the pyramid of desires, it should be the opposite.

When you say that everyone will sit in circles and socialize, it sounds like a joke. For example, in anecdotes about heaven and hell, it is said that in hell it is good, life is raging there, and in paradise everything is so pastoral, phlegmatic: calm, bliss, “spiritual.” Why is this so?

Answer: This is not our idea of heaven and hell. From the point of view of Kabbalah, paradise is the universal connection of mankind and its attainment of the great, unified force of nature, called Shechina. That is what it says: “The righteous sit (that is, they are in a state of Katnut [smallness]) and, being united, enjoy the Shechina (the radiance of unity, perfection, universality of nature).” This is the highest measure of pleasure that creation can experience.

I do not try to lure anyone to me. Let people live and enjoy what they have.

But I want to at least express the true point of view that a person can understand while still living in this world. It is within his power. And I offer it to him.

Question: Is this specially made so by nature that people are not lured by such offers?

Answer: Sure. So that we consciously come to this, ask, demand, and invest in revealing the truth.

The Problem Of Universal Correction

laitman_961.2Question: Today we are facing the problem of universal correction. Or is there an opportunity to save the situation by a group of Kabbalists?

Answer: And how will a group of Kabbalists save the situation if the purpose of nature is for all of creation to become mutually and integrally connected with each other, to achieve the properties of connection and love? How can a small group of people do this?

It exists only to teach the methodology of unification to everyone else, to be teachers for them. Thus, nothing can happen without the inclusion of absolutely every person in this process.

Question: A small part of humanity understands the essence of the crisis that has come, but most don’t know about this. How does one convey to the whole world the need for a person to change so that the whole world will be corrected?

Answer: This is your work and you must do it. Try to do everything possible.

Patience And Awareness

laitman_961Question: What is patience in Kabbalistic terms?

Answer: Patience is an understanding of the processes that occur in a person and in society. You must give them a certain path of development and maturation, and only participate and help where necessary. Do not meddle your advice and thoughts.

I’m talking about a possible change in the world for the better because this has already come. And if this state did not exist everywhere, including in the press, if they did not write that something needs to be changed and that there will be no more returning to the past, I would not say that. Just now, the relevant conditions have appeared.

Question: And what is this state of awareness?

Answer: Awareness is an understanding of the whole program of nature and its implementation at the moment.

The program for the realization of nature is to bring it to a dynamic balance between positive and negative forces.

Perpetuate The Name?

laitman_294.2Question: Should schools of integral education that will be opened by your students be named after you?

Answer: Why on earth? First of all, I didn’t invent anything new, so I’m not supposed to do anything here. Don’t attribute anything to me.

Our organization is named after my teacher RABASH. Our center is located on a street named after him in Petach Tikva, Israel. I don’t need anything else.

I will teach a couple of thousand people the Kabbalistic method, and they will go further. And personally, I will disappear into them. That’s my feeling.

A Fascinating Perspective

laitman_624.03Question: Eventually, after forcing us to unite through a virus, would we need a method of connection, or is it enough for us to unite under the blows?

Answer: No, that’s not enough. Under the blows, you can only advance at the beginning when you are brought to the methodology. Afterward you would want to move yourself.

Therefore, movement without blows will become your permanent state. Moreover, it will not occur under the influence of blows, but under the influence of attraction to future good states—from your aspiration forward.

We still have a lot to learn in the method of our connection, and then we will just see how we can literally continuously rise in our understanding, in our feelings, in our confidence in ourselves and in the world. This is such an exciting prospect that you should not give it up.

Question: What should a person do in order not to wait for the next blows, but to move in a good way, without suffering?

Answer: To learn what he needs to do. To be integrally interconnected as possible with at least a small group of people because it isn’t yet possible with the whole world.

This way the person will avoid the blows. And further, try to attract anyone to this integral relationship, and in this move higher and higher together with those whom he attracts to unity.
