Why Doesn’t Humanity Know Anything About Kabbalah?

laitman_251Question: Kabbalah is a method of how to properly communicate between people. Humanity has been developing for thousands of years. Why doesn’t humanity know anything about this method at the beginning of the 21st century?

Answer: This has nothing to do with a person’s intelligence, but depends on whether the need to discover the reason for his existence, the question of what he is living for, has emerged in him. If he has a need for that, he arrives at the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Question: But why doesn’t a person know that? We have discovered so many things in our world, we have invented so many technological innovations, but we do not have any basic knowledge about the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Answer: A person does not need to know what he is not supposed to know yet. Therefore, Kabbalah was not revealed to the people until the 20th century, except to individual Kabbalists.

Even today, many people have no need to know about it yet. Only those who want to will be able to reach the wisdom of Kabbalah. The next intermediate phase will be when everyone aspires for Kabbalistic knowledge.

Ethics And Kabbalah

laitman_265Question: Why is Kabbalah not human ethics and philosophy at the same time if its main postulate is “love your neighbor”?

Answer: Kabbalah should become like that, and it will become like that. However, today humanity is not ready for this yet.

Currently, we undergo certain stages of the realization of the evil nature of man, and we learn through all the troubles that constantly haunt us. It leads us to the fact that we do not know what to do with ourselves and our world.

Therefore, we are already beginning to realize that we require knowledge about our world, about the depths of the actions of the forces in it. Gradually we will understand that without the knowledge of Kabbalah, we are just a lost generation.

When we discover Kabbalah for ourselves, that is already ready for use, we will enter into a very rapid, easy, and pleasant development, up to our final, absolutely good state.

Do You Help People Find Out About The Wisdom Of Kabbalah?

laitman_565_01.jpgQuestion: I have been studying the wisdom of Kabbalah for three years. I often feel guilty about not being able to talk about the wisdom of Kabbalah with those people who are trying to find themselves. How can I do this, how can I help them?

Answer: Give them a book as a gift or invite them to a lecture, but no more than this. Don’t force a person. If it interests him, he will find out about everything.

Instructions Of “The Last Generation”

laitman_533_01Question: When reading Baal HaSulam manuscript The Last Generation, we feel that there is a treasure in them—instructions how to build the future society. How can we understand it correctly to study and present it to other people?

Answer: The problem is that Baal HaSulam these manuscripts wrote for himself; they are not systematized enough and repeat themselves in many respects. He was making sketches from time to time, but didn’t bring them to any order.

Rabash said that Baal HaSulam considered his generation still not ready for correction, and therefore he stopped writing. After all, his newspaper was closed and it was forbidden to print his writings.

I understand your desire, but you should also understand me. It is based on Kabbalah; I can say that this is an absolutely practical science! Although it seems like mysticism where some Sefirot, Partzufim, and worlds are supposedly spinning, this is the most practical science! It completely depends on the inner state of the people studying it.

Therefore, I don’t know to what extent we can develop the topic of “The Last Generation.” Perhaps, we can do it in a very limited form since we need to reach this individually by ourselves. We’ll try to do this.

I understand your enthusiasm. Perhaps it can help us. But you need to understand that I get up every morning, which starts for me at midnight, and I begin to study. I come to the audience without knowing at what level the lesson, the discussion, or the questions will be; it doesn’t depend on me.

I can’t reveal more than how I feel the desire of the people, their needs, and their ability to at least partially absorb the material. If they can absorb at least ten percent of what I am saying among them, it means that I can already speak and I invest a hundred percent. Otherwise, I can’t.

Therefore, despite your strong desire to describe the instruction of “The Last Generation,” if the audience doesn’t have such a desire, I find it difficult to do so.

So far we haven’t reached this. But I am an optimist, I am always ready.

The Path Of The Future Correction Is For All

laitman_229Question: Baal HaSulam, a man of an extraordinary height, wrote in his manuscripts about the last generation: “I have seen all that, and I can no longer restrain myself. I have resolved to disclose of my observations and of what I have found written in those books, regarding the conducts of correction of our definite future.”

What does The Last Generation mean to you? Why did you turn precisely to these manuscripts?

Answer: Because it is a vital realization of what is happening today in our generation.

We are at a critical stage of development; the previous egoistic history of humanity is coming to an end and the time has come when humanity must rise to the next level and thereby change itself and the surrounding world. In fact, our entire world is what we represent: what we see and what exists in our sense organs. When we rise to a new level, we will see a completely different world.

The material world will gradually disappear from our senses. It is even called an imaginary world. We will start to exist in the next dimension that we will imagine just as we imagine the present one.

The “spiritual special forces” will be the first to enter the upper world. The others will follow them. Moreover, the “special forces” will develop themselves in a directed, forceful way, working on their adaptation to the new degrees of nature, and all others will be pulled after them.

Why Unite Egoists?

laitman_939_01Question: Why unite the egoists? After all, this is the origin of all evil.

Answer: In no way do we unite egoists. We unite only people who have a point in the heart in small groups. These are people who are ready to search for the meaning of life and sacrifice their time and effort to find it because without an understanding of the meaning of life it is bad for them.

We attract people like these, create small circles with them called a “group of ten,” and give them a method that helps them to nullify themselves within the groups of ten and to unite in such a way that they will begin to feel the Creator among them.

The group of ten is a sensor, a new spiritual sense, within which they can feel the characteristic of bestowal and love, which is called the Creator.

We don’t agitate or force anyone else. The only thing that we want is to give them the knowledge that our entire problem and that of the world is the lack of unity.

We don’t talk with them about the upper world and about the higher power; we simply explain that they must organize themselves correctly, and then the world will become better. Otherwise, people in the world will begin to annihilate each other.

We try to create groups of ten from people who are interested in discovering and knowing the meaning of life and attaining it. And we gather the rest of the people in good social settings to gradually teach them how to search for and find good everyday conditions in these communities. No more than this, because a spiritual desire has not been born in them yet.

Those in whom a desire for spirituality has already appeared, meaning that they already feel the point in the heart, should come to us.

The Wisdom Of Kabbalah Is Open For Everyone

Dr. Michael LaitmanQuestion: Did the priests in ancient Egypt know about the wisdom of Kabbalah? They say that Pythagoras learned from them.

Answer: According to Kabbalistic sources, people came from ancient Greece to Judea to study even in the time of the prophets, and they wrote about that.

The German philosopher Johannes Reuchlin, for example, who lived in the Middle Ages says that: “my teacher Pythagoras, the father of philosophy, did not learn from the Greek, but actually from the Jews.”

The Jews did not hide their knowledge from anyone, and Abraham initially wanted to tell about and to teach this knowledge all over Babylon, but the Babylonians opposed him. It all depends on people’s desires. Even today we see that currently people don’t want it.

The wisdom of Kabbalah had to be concealed for only 1,500 years, since the first century AD until the time of the ARI because humanity had to develop internally and to mature during that time. Then, starting from the ARI onward, it was possible to reveal the wisdom of Kabbalah to everyone. Baal Shem Tov started doing so, and today it is open for everyone.

Teaching Unification

laitman_938_03Question: What is the role of Kabbalists, as psychologists, in the complex chain of the perception of reality?

Answer: Kabbalists should teach people to unite with each other. Therefore, we build tens and show practical example of unification.

Question: What qualities should a person have in order to teach this to others?

Answer: He himself must actively participate in unification, learn from this practice, and then he will be able to teach this to others. Kabbalah is the most practical science.

Education Determines A Person’s Fate

Dr. Michael LaitmanQuestion from Facebook: You keep saying that education is the answer to all the problems both of the individual and the world. But people have been saying that for decades, and despite the many organizations that engage in education, life goes on according to its own laws.

Answer: Life goes on according to the laws of egoism. And we must act so that it will flow according to the laws of altruism: love, bestowal, and unity. No one does this and no one can.

The only one who succeeded in this 3,500 years ago was Abraham when he called all those who wanted to overcome the universal social humanitarian crisis that broke out in Babylon. He founded a group of people who joined him and clung to him, and he called it Israel or the Jewish nation.

Abraham became the first father of the new system of education of unity. This group has existed since then for 3,500 years, and cannot be divided or disappear! It stands against all the other nations of the world, the same Babylonians who spread and settled all over the world, and everyone feels that there is something special about them.

All we have to do is to start teaching this method to the entire world because the world already understands that there is no other choice and that the main thing is unity since, otherwise, people will destroy each other.

Question: Are you referring to the entire Jewish nation when you speak about a group that knows this method?

Answer: No, all the Jews have lost this method, except for Kabbalists who have been leading and implementing it from one generation to the next based on their own experience. If they lead this education system and supervise it, humanity will reach its good end. It will reach complete unity.

Question: Do you believe that people will listen to that?

Answer: If they don’t, there will be several serious wars that will involve such sufferings that they will have to listen. But the wise foresee these sufferings from afar and does not enter them.

How To Pull The World Out Of The Ocean Of Lies

Currently our world is going through a unique process of rethinking everything that has been achieved through the course of human history and we see what a deceitful society man has made. We are deceived and lied to from all the sides.

The media is bought by the rich elite and doesn’t broadcast a word of truth. The rulers of the world run their personal business without any concern for others, doing nothing for the good of the people but only for their own good.

This is beginning to unfold now, in our days. Humanity has grown and is passing through a very difficult realization, a revision of the entire human society. This is a call of the time.

That’s why I supported Donald Trump so much in the elections and after them.

There is nothing special about him, but he is a symbol of a new time, a new revision. We see how one extreme line in the world gives birth to another extreme line: extra liberalism gives birth to the ultra-right-wing currents, Nazism. And scrutiny happens in the middle between them.

That is why media and governments are subjected to such criticism, mutual accusations are pouring from all sides. The people will understand who is controlling them, whom they elect for the leadership of the country, and will see all the deceptiveness of the mass media and large public organizations. In fact, everyone cares only about himself, and uses the ordinary person.

This is a recognition of evil that the people couldn’t achieve before. Previously, they still believed in the beautiful words and remained more or less calm.

As a result of this revision, we will understand that the entire human society has sunk into lies and is unable to build the right state. After all, it itself generates such governments, organizations, unions, educational systems, and media.

Therefore, society itself is in need of education.

Only after integral education will society be able to give birth to such organizations that will act for the benefit of the people. And without this preliminary preparation, society will always create either ultra-left or ultra-right alliances, in other words, ultra-egoistic ones in one direction or another.

Kabbalists explain this to the world in order to gradually bring this to people’s consciousness. This doesn’t relate to politics. The wisdom of Kabbalah is now being revealed to all of humanity in order to pass the method of correction to it. Therefore, the direction of the world’s development is very important. I see in Donald Trump’s coming to power a sign for good development, compared with Obama’s course.

Soon, the ultra-liberal leaders will be replaced in Europe as well. It is about the stages of the revelation of evil that humanity undergoes. Personally, I do not have any preferences for any parties. I look at the situation from the point of view of its usefulness to the necessary corrections that human society must undergo.

People think that Kabbalah is a theory that talks only about the Creator and the distant upper worlds. But this isn’t so because it is known that Baal HaSulam wrote an article “The Last Generation” about the structure of the future society and met with Ben Gurion.

We live at a time when the wisdom of Kabbalah is already intended for the entire generation, and therefore it is very important in which direction the development will go. Therefore, it is worthwhile to help people to find out. In fact, Kabbalah has no connection with politics. If I give any assessments, it is not from the political point of view, but only from the point of view of Kabbalah, that is, from the way upper forces act in human society and move the world to correction.
