How To Help A Person With An Awakening Point in the Heart?

laitman_565.01Question: If I suddenly find people around me with a prominent awakening point in the heart, what is the most correct thing to do?

Answer: If the point in the heart awakens in you, it means that you are drawn to attain the system that controls everything. You must reveal what fate is, why you exist, how to understand the system that governs the world. You need to engage in your spiritual development.

And if you meet people with the same craving for spirituality, invite them to an introductory lecture or to our webinar. You must help them. This will attract you to Kabbalah even more because they will receive spiritual energy through you.

Even if you do not see them anymore, but you restore their contact with the higher source, then their connection with it will go through you, and thanks to them, you will advance. So, it is worth doing it.

Time Of The Revelation Of Kabbalah

226Question: Why did the widespread revelation of Kabbalah only begin in 1995?

Answer: Kabbalah was revealed gradually because this is exactly how the ego develops in humanity. It started out as very small and then Kabbalah began to emerge and develop with the arrival of the great Kabbalist the Ari. This is one point.

Secondly, Kabbalah is not a new science. The first Kabbalah book was written 5,780 years ago. There are more books from about 2,000 to 3,000 years ago. There is a huge body of Kabbalistic work, including contemporary books.

Question: Why has Kabbalah been on hold and not revealed until precisely our time?

Answer: Kabbalah has not been on hold. It is being revealed to humanity only to the extent of humanity’s ability to implement it correctly. Look what happens with the knowledge that is revealed to humanity before it is ready to realize it correctly: we invent atomic bombs and other harmful things.

Whereas Kabbalah is being revealed only to the degree to which humanity can use it without harming others. But the most important difference between Kabbalah and all religious beliefs, views, or anything else, is that it aspires for universal love that we don’t see anywhere else.

We see that religions hate one another, and nations are in a state of mutual hatred, because all other methods and theories are based on egoism. Kabbalah stands apart from them. It encourages love and sees universal love as the result of the corrections made by it. That needs to be studied. We can, of course, dismiss it. However, it is the method of Kabbalah that explains how to rise above egoism, letting us reach love.

Question: What does it mean as Baal HaSulam writes: “Until the world becomes one family”?

Answer: Yes, to a point where all humanity would once again feel as a single nation. Eventually, Kabbalah will bring us to it. The events that have happened in our world in the past 100 to 200 years, and those in our nearest future will show that with absolute certainty. This is the time of the revelation of Kabbalah.

Teach Kabbalah

laitman_963.8Question: If we say that the point in the heart is hidden in every single person, then what do we need to do in order for it to be revealed in as many people as possible? Is it even necessary or is the existing small percentage already enough?

Answer: It is, of course, preferable to bring as many people as possible to work on themselves, to rise above their egoism, and to unite around the entire globe.

Thus, we would attract the divine upper light, which would purify, fulfill, and unite us so that we would perceive the meaning of this life and rise above our animal existence into an eternal state.

Therefore it is necessary, of course, to teach and disseminate Kabbalah.

Completing The General Correction

laitman_963.6Question: If only one person were left in the world who understands nothing while the rest have already understood everything, would you explain the method to him?

Answer: First of all, this could not happen. As more and more people in the world correct themselves, the field created by them will envelop the rest, and they will understand and value spirituality—the attribute of bestowal—more, and they will also aspire to it more.

That is why a hypothetical situation, where all but one person is corrected, is virtually impossible.

However, even if we assume that this could happen, I, obviously, would gladly come to that person and try to convince him to complete the general correction of the entire world, of all times. It is possible that I would succeed.

Passing Spiritual Knowledge In Times Of Abraham

laitman_942Question: How did Abraham teach the tens of thousands of people who gathered around him if there was not yet a Pentateuch that set out the commandments?

Answer: At that time, people were at a level where they understood it from within themselves.

Comment: Abraham wrote several books of which only The Book of Creation (Sefer Yetzira) has reached us. I have read it many times, but it does not say anything about connection.

My Response: In The Book of Creation, Abraham wrote about the upper force that influences people. He wrote this book so that we could understand the upper force the way he described it.

To do this, we must have the appropriate tool. This tool is connection with other people in which the upper laws are revealed.

Question: However, it was not written anywhere specifically about connection. Was it obvious to them?

Answer: Yes. This is called the “Oral Torah,” which Abraham explained to his followers.

Question: Rambam wrote: “Abraham sowed this great principle in their hearts and wrote books about it.” However, these books describe what a person feels in connection with the Creator, with the upper force of nature. Does it mean that communication between people was passed by word of mouth?

Answer: This is a practical wisdom that Abraham passed on to his disciples Isaac and Jacob.

Question: Were they not his children?

Answer: You can call them “children,” it does not matter. However, Kabbalah refers to the disciples through whom the method of correcting human egoism was passed onto the entire nation, to the entire group of people who gathered around Abraham in Babylon.

All this is described in the Torah through one person. First what happened to Abraham, then to Lot, and so on. Where are the other tens of thousands of people that gathered around him?

The fact is that description does not take into account the number of people Rambam spoke about, but only their spiritual level. The spiritual level is already 70, 50, 10 people, and so on—it does not matter because in spirituality we do not count the number of heads, but the strength of their connection with each other.

New Stage—New Person

laitman_962.8Question: Do you think humanity is rising to a spiritual degree?

Answer: Yes, it is rising, but this ascent is modular because, in fact, humanity is descending. However, it descends on purpose in order to understand the emptiness of our world.

This is the revelation of truth, and it is thus an ascent. There is greater and greater revelation of the upper light. On one hand, we feel that we are more developed, and on the other hand, lower and emptier. However, this is a good place.

Now we are entering a new stage when the next generation comes to Kabbalah. These people do not want to conquer the world. They are satisfied with little things, they just need a computer and nothing else. It means a lot. A completely new human being has appeared in our world.

laitman_246Why should I believe Kabbalists?

Comment: Many people can say: “Why should I believe the Kabbalists that the Creator is the quality of bestowal and love?”

My Response: You do not need to believe, you just need to advance society toward this, bring it closer, carefully, and gradually. Why talk about it? Although this won’t do harm, people will not escape. Today they are in such circumstances that there is not much time left for discussion.

Comment: Now, many scientists also say that everything is so subjective that you can neither prove nor deny the existence of the Creator, but you can just come up with many different theories. It’s hard to prove something, as our brain works so that we can accept any theory.

My Response: The Creator is the law of nature. And we must simply realize this law, as the entirety of nature in its integral complexity is called the Creator.

Question: And you are not trying to prove it?

Answer: No. You can’t prove anything to anyone. How can I prove to a young child the existence of something that goes beyond his perception? There is no way. The only thing I can do is to patiently raise him, elevating him to the level where he will see everything and tell himself. Otherwise, no.

Question: So, it is impossible to explain to a person that there are two laws—the law of receiving and the law of bestowal—and when we give to society, we become like the Creator?

Answer: Why not? This can be explained, and very easily. We can see on an inanimate, vegetative, and animal level how these laws are observed, how everything is built on a balance between receiving and bestowing.

However, at the level of society, we do not see this because in it, on the contrary, everything is built only on reception, and bestowal is possible only if I can get even more instead. That is, in society there is no bestowal at all. There is reception camouflaged as bestowal.

This means that the laws of inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature need to be elevated to the level of the state of society, to the human level, and there they must be realized and put into practice.

Therefore, we need to see how this is done, how it can be so that in society reception and bestowal, plus and minus, exist in us in the same way as at the previous three levels. Is it possible or not? This, in principle, is the whole problem and all our misfortunes. If we can do this, then we will have a perfect world.

Here I am not talking about religion, nor about the Creator, nor about anyone. It’s just what the world needs, and today we see it. Let’s try to implement it.

Meaning Of Life, Part 8

laitman_939.02We Will Raise their Desires to the Creator with our Intention

Question: Is it possible to reveal the Creator with people who are not searching for the meaning of life?

Answer: No.

Question: So that means there should be a group of people with one common goal. What are the other 8 billion for?

Answer: Others will gradually feel that they have no meaning in life, that they need something, although perhaps it is not yet the attainment of the Creator. However, they will feel and discover all sorts of negative qualities, negative aspects of their lives, and in order to get rid of them, they will still have to gather in groups that are attaining the Creator. Not at this level, but at a lower one.

The meaning of life is the destiny of just a small group. The remaining 8 billion will be aspiring for the Creator for various reasons. For example, because they need to provide for their children, family, etc. They will not have a question about the meaning of existence.

Nevertheless, their aspirations for some materialistic goals will be enough because they will enter into our desires even with their egoistic desires, and we will be able to raise their desires to the Creator with our intention.

It is enough if they just know that there is a goal, and you need to gradually get used to it, adapt to it. This is enough to make this goal manifest in the masses even without raising their intentions to altruism. It is because we will give them our intentions, and they will give us their desires.

The Jewish Choice: Unity Or Anti-Semitism—Understanding Historical Causes And Effects

laitman_294.1Throughout history the same forces act, resulting in same reactions. The new book: The Jewish Choice: Unity or Anti-Semitism shows that there are always causes and effects leading to the same turn of events.

This book must change our approach and teach us to see all the occurrences happening in this world in the light of Kabbalistic interpretation. The problem is that people do not understand what is happening to them. We study texts written 2,000 years ago without any knowledge of what has been happening during those 2,000 years and we draw incorrect conclusions.

The book The Jewish Choice: Unity or Anti-Semitism does not just recount the history of anti-Semitism. It, however, provides us with a foundation, reveals the cause of what is happening, and explains how we can change this process in its core.

The Jewish people are not the only ones who should receive this education and open their eyes to what is happening, the whole world needs to as well. The current events are caused by the same forces within the people of Israel and the whole of humanity within the common integral system. There is a single source pulling us toward the end of correction. If we are ready to move toward it, then we advance by means of “accelerated time,” by the light, and if not, then we advance by “in due time,” by the path of suffering.

The heroes that emerge on this path or the events that unfold are unimportant; what is important is that we can change the nature of this process, shifting it from the path of suffering to the path of light, which is good both in the eyes of the Creator and in the eyes of the person.

We exist within nature, which is a set of laws descending from a single source. This source consists of only one law, which we must learn thoroughly. We will then have no more issues with it just like with electricity or math: knowing the underlying law, one can derive thousands of applications from it.

All we have to do is learn the fundamental principles:
1. The world is an egoistic desire.
2. There was a group that rose above egoism and therefore received the name Israel (Yashar-Kel, straight to the Creator) because it wished to achieve the force of bestowal, the upper force.

This is the determining factor of the entire history of the people of Israel.

Anti-Semitism arises in other nations because they have never possessed the force of bestowal. But the people of Israel who once achieved the power of bestowal later fell from this level, and therefore they hate bestowal even more than the nations of the world. This determines the current state.

However, there is a small group, Bnei Baruch, that is trying to explain all of this to humanity. History is unfolding rapidly day after day. We must keep up with this process in order to understand what is happening to us in this scenario, the acting forces and the consequences they are causing, and we must deliver this message to the rest of humanity.

Our common salvation depends on it because the world is now in a very dangerous state: both the people of Israel and the nations of the world. Baal HaSulam warned us about the possibility of the third world war, and it was no exaggeration. We must realize that we have the opportunity to avoid a true catastrophe.

All Must Join The Movement Toward The Creator

laitman_962.6The entire universe is like concentric circles, starting with the innermost one in which there are people who have received an awakening toward adhesion with the Creator. They understand that it is necessary to connect with each other because only within the common desire, within our connection, can the Creator be revealed; therefore, everything is built on connection.

First, people with the “point in the heart” come to this connection, people yearning for the revelation of the upper force that manifests in the connection. Then there are many more outer circles, layers. Our group is in the very center; it has received a great gift from above: the desire to come closer to the Creator. It is our responsibility to carry out this action and to bring the other circles closer to Him.

The innermost circle must correct itself by annulling its egoism; the other circles do not need to change their nature. Everything depends on the innermost circle, on its feeling its obligation to fulfill its role, the desire given to it for the purpose of creation. Only it has received such a desire, not the others, and therefore, it is obliged to fulfill its mission.

We cannot make claims against other people, other circles, because each circle acts according to the desire awakened in it. So we are obliged to realize our inner desire to attain the Creator, as well as help the more external circles that do not have such a deficiency and link them with the purpose of the whole creation.

These two movements, one directed inwardly and the other one outwardly, are to be carried out at the two upcoming conventions: the convention in the desert and the big convention in Tel Aviv. These two actions depend on each other because our connection must be built with the aim of bringing all of humanity to connection with the Creator.

Therefore, work on internal connection is only a preparation, a result of which we then go out to connect with the entire world, with all people. We do not seek to infect them with our desire. We simply want to show to every circle in Israel and in the world how we act and to awaken them a little. Each circle will act according to the desire awakening in it.

It does not matter that this desire is aimed indirectly at adhesion with the Creator and to achieving equivalence of form with Him. Nevertheless, the Creator awakens crisis in the world, which is felt differently by each circle. Our task is to explain to all the circles how it is possible to rise above the general global crisis according to the special personal desire awakening in each circle.1

Every person, to some extent, should belong to the general motion toward the Creator, and not only those who are studying the wisdom of Kabbalah according to their inner desire. It is enough that people who have no such inner desire will feel the crisis and realize that it is caused by the lack of connection between us and with the upper force. This awareness is already enough to include them in the overall process.

Each circle is obliged, to the extent of its desire, to participate in the connection of all humanity and its connection with the upper force. The task of each and every circle is to realize its natural desire in life and aim it to the connection with other circles and the upper force that controls everyone.

The inner circle performs this task in intention, the outer circle in action, each one according to its desire. Even those who protest and resist also participate in the overall process by doing so, performing certain work, without which it is impossible to achieve the goal. After all, by their resistance, they help to accurately determine the direction to the target.2
