On The Threshold Of A Third Intifada – Part 8 “The Steering Wheel Is In Our Hands”

laitman_941If a person studies the wisdom of Kabbalah about the structure of the general system, about the laws of its operation, about the system of higher management, and the connection of the people of Israel and all the rest of the peoples, he begins to understand what we have undergone throughout history.

He sees proof and confirmation in the events that have happened in the past and are happening today.

He seemingly receives into his hands the steering wheel of the management of the world, and in truth, this steering wheel is now also in the hands of the people of Israel, but we aren’t turning the wheel correctly and aren’t properly managing this wagon in which all of humanity is sitting. So, we cannot expect others to relate to us well, but if we learn how to turn and control this steering wheel correctly, immediately we would see how this attitude would improve.

We can cite the example of our Kabbalistic groups in 107 countries throughout the world with different peoples and the fact that the explanation about the role and mission of the people of Israel has been wonderfully understood everywhere.

Last year, the world Kabbalah for the People convention was held at the exhibition grounds in Tel Aviv, as it is every year. One of the students from Germany appeared on stage and said that he was very excited about having the opportunity to be in such a society in Israel.

This is because, through studying the wisdom of Kabbalah and the laws of the functioning of the overall system, he had discovered an understanding of the importance and the enormous value of the unique role of the people of Israel.

This was such a strong showing that many in the hall were moved to tears. It is possible to bring another example about a young Muslim youth who came from France to the convention that was held not long ago in Romania, searching for connection and unity.

The nations of the world understand this immediately. It follows from the laws of nature, and not that someone is good and someone else is bad.

The moment we begin to turn to the world through the system of unity, we obligate a positive response from it.

The Situation In Israel: From Ancient Babylon To Present Day

Dr. Michael LaitmanQuestion: Last weekend was relatively quiet, we thought that it was about to end, and here on Sunday we came back with a terrorist at the central bus station in Beer Sheva. When will all of this end?

Answer: The situation will not improve and will even become worse. The problem is that the cause for all these events has not been resolved. A few days ago Ynet  published my article, “Who’s Behind The Situation in Israel?” in which I again explained how we can deal with this situation, rise above all the events, begin to calm the situation, and gain control over it.

The reason for everything that is happening is still the same: the lack of connection and unity among us influences the stability of all parts of nature. The wisdom of Kabbalah explains that we affect all of nature; whether it is a tsunami, a volcanic eruption, or a hurricane, we are forming all of this volatility.

After all, only through our unity can we have an influence over all the levels of nature —still, vegetative, animate and human—encouraging people to unite themselves and to connect through mutual participation and concern for one another. And the people of Israel provide all of this.

Many articles and books have been written about this. And this is what I have tried to explain in my article with sayings by Rabbi Abraham Issac HaCohen Kook, Baal HaSulam, quotations from the Babylonian Talmud and other sources that are familiar to all the people of Israel in all generations. They all speak unanimously that it is only unity between us that will bring goodness to all of the people of Israel, and the lack of unity invokes all evil.

Question: What is the connection between unity among the people of Israel and goodness or evil all over the world?

Answer: In the sources, it is written that the moment problems, unrest, riots, and conflicts appeared in ancient Babylon, Abraham began to think: “What has happened to these people who were relatively peaceful until now?” From a desire to understand what was happening in human nature and the world, he discovered that there is only one reason for everything— our ego, which was growing in each person and in everyone all together. It is possible to calm all problems down only through connection and unity above the ego.

The ego is constantly growing, keeping us apart and creating more and more tension between us. This is a law and it is impossible to stop it.

We see that this is truly so, and throughout the history of humanity, for thousands of years, our ego has been growing more and more; people have become more and more distant from each other, even though we became much smarter, more understanding and sensitive, and have developed our lives through technology, commerce, and industry. But at the same time, we have become worse and worse in our nature.

The solution to all problems is only the creation of good and wonderful connections between people. Abraham started this, and as Maimonides wrote, a multitude of people joined him and from whom he created a group that would specifically be involved with connection and union between them.

This group became the people of Israel, a people founded on an ideological principle and born from a social agreement of many people who were strangers to each other. So we now feel ourselves to be relatively alien and divided from each other as long as we don’t work on unity between us.

Abraham determined that if we began to connect with each other, we would influence all the rest of the Babylonians. But they didn’t succeed in this because Nimrod, the King of Babylon, was against it. He thought that the inhabitants of Babylon should disperse and settle all over the face of the Earth to calm down the unrest, but this problem still exists today. However, the wisdom, the method that our father Abraham discovered of how to calm humanity down, still exists and is called the wisdom of Kabbalah.

On The Threshold Of A Third Intifada – Part 7 “Cybernetic Wars With Terrorists”

laitman_571_08When a person studies the wisdom of Kabbalah, he learns about the structure of the overall system of the world, about the network that connects all of us and in what form we can influence it, what are our most effective actions in relation to it and how the people of Israel can awaken a positive response toward itself from the peoples of the world, and so forth.

This is purely a technical matter that depends only on the connection and unity between us. Through it, we influence the overall system positively, and this includes the terrorists.

Question: Is this somewhat like a cybernetic war where we penetrate into the depths of the system and insert calming viruses into the heads of the terrorists?

Answer: Right, and now this dependence has become revealed clearly. This structure is permanent and runs all the time. However, today, we are entering a new period where this network is revealed directly within matter, and we suddenly discover that all of us are connected.

So, the people of the world are forcefully beginning to insist that the people of Israel carry out their role.

Question: What else do they want from us? Arabs come at us with knives while, under fire, the Israeli army helps the needy in their territories during military operations, and after that all of Europe blames us. In what way are we to blame?

Answer: We are to blame for only one thing: We aren’t bringing the method of connection and unity to the world. Everything else is not considered. It is as if we haven’t done anything. We can give the world every pleasure and every good. It is known that Israel is a highly technological nation, and the Jews are bringing more scientific discoveries and inventions to the world than any other people.

But no one considers this because we must give the world something else. The world is waiting for the method of connection and unity from us. It cannot exist without that, and all of this is in our hands. They hate us only because of this.

The terrorists who come at us with knives are managed by the same forces of nature that we haven’t counterbalanced from bad to good. There is no choice. We must convey the method of connection and unity to the world. Terrorism will continue as long as we haven’t done this.

The Good Ones Spreading Like A Good Virus

Laitman_201_01Question: HaTovim (The Good Ones) a grassroot movement from Kabbalah La’Am, already have been widely recognized. Hundreds of volunteers are protecting kindergartens throughout Israel in order to restore the sense of security in children and calm parents in the midst of the wave of terror we are facing.

Thousands of people already have responded to this initiative and expressed their readiness to take part in it.

In addition to that, more than a million people have learned about the Good Ones on Facebook, and the news is spreading quickly like a virus of goodness. How does a ray of light suddenly spread throughout our society that is totally divided?

Answer: This initiative brings the upper force into the system because it stems from love, and love is the upper force.

It brings the connections between people to life, and they feel a vital spiritual energy of holiness. This holiness is love, connection, mutual thoughtfulness, and a non-egoistic desire to make everyone feel good.

It all depends on the nice and good relations and connection between us. If the whole of the Israeli nation joined such activities of mutually helping one another, we would not only put an end to this Intifada, but we also would attain complete peace with our neighbors.

We need to see the conflict with the Arab states and the Arabs living in Israel as an example of the inner conflict between us and the division between Jews. This is the only reason, and the Torah tells us about it. If you read it correctly, you understand that it is only by correcting the connection between Jews that we also correct the connection between Jews and Arabs.

All the holy books speak first and foremost about love of others, and this love should be first among the nation of Israel. This is the precondition for our correction. If we begin to fulfill it toward one another, we would immediately feel how all the evil forces in the world calm down.

It is because we produce them by the division and the bad relations between us. A positive attitude toward one another, on the other hand, is the remedy for all the problems and will lead to the world to peace and tranquillity. It simply works.

The Torah speaks only about the relations among the nation of Israel. If we corrected our relations for the good, they would affect the entire world, which would align with it. After all, “Israel” means “Li Rosh” (my head), and the rest of the world is the body, and whatever is in the head spreads throughout the body. This is the law of the spiritual system.

And so everything depends on the Israeli nation that determines the state of the entire world. This is the reason that the peoples of the world blame Israel for all of their troubles, and these accusations are justified. The whole Torah verifies that when it tells us that everything depends on the relations between the Jews who determine the state of the world.

We should internalize what the Torah says and what the peoples of the world are telling us, and decide that it is time to start our correction. All we must do is to attain love among the nation of Israel. The love of Israel is connected to the love of the created beings, which is connected to the love of the Creator.

The HaTovim (The Good Ones) Initiative: Unity Between Us

Dr. Michael LaitmanA new movement called HaTovim, the Good Ones, sponsored by Kabbalah La’am, started last week in Israel. This movement has a Facebook page and call center in Israel.

Question: This morning, my friend and I went to Afula to guard a kindergarten, according to the instructions of the Good Ones. Is this the fulfillment of mutual guarantee?

Answer: Of course! These are actually the actions that we should perform, every individual for the sake of others and all the people of Israel.

Through such actions we get closer and care about one another in mutual guarantee, in unity and connection between us. That is how we summon the good force that undoubtedly neutralizes all of the evil forces. Then not one individual in the world would rise against another.

Question: What would happen, theoretically speaking, if all of the Israeli citizens joined the HaTovim movement?

Answer: The entire world would be peaceful, beautiful, and good. This is what the Torah and the wisdom of Kabbalah promise us.

Question: Hundreds of volunteers joined this movement on the first day, and dozens of kindergartens called the Good Ones, asking for volunteers to guard the kindergartens and to restore their parents’ sense of security.

Answer: Even not too many people (according to the sources 600,000) making these actions will have a great effect, the world will become paradise.

The problem is that we don’t have enough volunteers to guard all the kindergartens because people work. Therefore, we invite all those who can dedicate even a few hours to join this initiative.

Question: The phone number of our headquarters is 1-700-509-209 (Israel), but the easiest way is to go to  HaTovim Facebook page, enroll,  and you will be contacted.

Answer: It is such actions, although performed under the pressure of sufferings, fear, and problems, that help us greatly and bring us closer to one another. So, let’s begin to unite more! Unity and connection between us is the war against the Intifada.

Question: As it is written, “All of Israel are responsible for one another.” This means that when we are together, we see only good. The process that began this morning inspires hope.

Answer: We depend only on ourselves! You join the Good Ones now, and that’s it! It is enough for you to participate in such activities like protecting babies and small children. What could be better?

With this you already create good relations between people—parents, educators, and among the whole Israeli nation. It is a wonderful, warm, and good example for everyone. Let’s begin!

Question: So, you go to the HaTovim – הטובים (Good Ones) Facebook page, and there are two options there, either to ask for help or to offer help. If you are educators or parents of kindergarten children and don’t have the money or the municipal resources to hire a guard, you can call us, and we will send our volunteers to guard the kindergarten.

If you want to help and have a couple of free hours on the way to work or during your break, we really need you. Register on the site or call 1-700-509-209, and you will be connected with those who need your help.

You cannot do it alone—but only together! If each of you finds the point of the nation of Israel inside himself, the point of goodness, we would be able to connect all the good forces and get rid of all the evil.

A “Dead” Terrorist Comes To Life

Dr. Michael LaitmanIn the News (Haaretz): “Palestinian Teen Terrorist Released From Israeli Hospital”
“Israel released images of 13-year-old Ahmed Mansara after Palestinian President Abbas claimed he was ‘executed’ by Israel.

“Ahmed Mansara, a 13-year-old boy who took part in stabbing attack in Jerusalem, was released Sunday from the hospital and passed over to a detention facility after a court ruled he would remain in custody for an additional eight days.

“Ahmed and his relative, 17-year-old Mohammed Mansara, carried out a stabbing attack in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Pisgat Ze’ev on Monday. The attack left two Israelis wounded: A 13-year-old boy, who was riding his bicycle was critically wounded, and a young man in his 20s, who also suffered severe wounds….

“The attack’s victims are still hospitalized, with the 13-year-old still in serious but stable condition, and is currently on life support, thought the hospital said his condition had slightly improved.

“On Wednesday evening Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel of ‘executing’ Ahmed, even though he was still alive.

“On Wednesday, the Prime Minister’s Office released a video of the attack in Pisgat Ze’ev with captions in Arabic. The Prime Minister’s Office on Thursday released photos of Mansara in the hospital to the local and international media. A senior Israeli official said the move was meant to refute Abbas’ claim that Mansara was executed by Israeli soldiers.”

My Comment: Our stubborn reluctance to clarify the cause of hatred that people feel towards us and burying our heads in the sand leads to increasingly greater sufferings.  Perhaps we shouldn’t be so stubborn after all and shake off this question for thousands of years. Isn’t it better to find out why the whole world is against us? (See my articles: “Who Are You, People of Israel?” and “What We Jews Owe The World.”)

On The Threshold Of A Third Intifada – Part 6 “Tunnels Under The Whole World”

Dr. Michael LaitmanQuestion: If the third intifada arises, does this indicate that there are bad relationships among the Jewish people?

Answer: Our relationships with each other remain bad and tension is accumulating all the time until it overflows its banks and hits us. After that it again begins to accumulate until the next time, until it again overflows its banks. How long can this go on?

The Kabbalists say that it will only be for a limited time, and after that we will need to leave this country if we haven’t adapted to it. In the land of Israel we must live like the people of Israel, meaning with love and unity. The moment that we become closer to each other, we will immediately see changes in the world and in the air itself. Even the sun will begin to shine in a special way, the birds will sing, and everyone will begin to relate to us with love, for this is relevant to the entire system of nature. We won’t feel any negative influences, even in the nature of the still, as the rain, wind and sun will only be pleasant and gentle.

Question: Suppose that I now begin to create relationships with my closest neighbors who are Jews like me. How do people in an Arab village who are preparing for the next attack know about this?

Answer: It’s very simple. After all, we are  in a single system in which all of its parts are mutually connected. You are at the peak of the system, so you are carrying out the key function. And everyone is pointing at you because you are not meeting your obligations and are harming everyone with this. If you act correctly, meaning that you unite, then everything will be okay. It is enough for connection and unity between two Jews for the whole world to calm down.

Question: But how will they know about this in the Arab village?

Answer: They don’t need to know about it since they will be influenced by the system, the structure that connects us inside and makes us dependent on each other. It is like a root system that is deep underground connecting all the plants. And an identical root system exists that connects all people.

Question: Does it connect us now with the terrorists?

Answer: It connects us with all of humanity. This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us. It explains how the world works and how it is up to us to integrate into this system to manage it. All troubles occur in order to require us to manage the world correctly.

“Who’s Behind The Situation In Israel?”


Read my recent article in my column on Israel’s largest news portal, Ynet .

“Obama, Rouhani and Abu Mazen are competing over who will capture a more meaningful foothold. Since when did the land of milk and honey become such a coveted real estate and how is all of this connected to the wave of terrorism that we are experiencing? Rav Dr. Michael Laitman sheds light on what is happening in the Holy Land, and offers a solution.”

Who’s Behind the Situation in Israel?

Whenever the Israeli-Palestinian conflict erupts in Israel, everyone offers advice, if not active intervention. Actually, even in quieter times everyone seems to be busy with the conflict in the Middle East. In just the last few years, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed in our neighboring countries, millions have been displaced, and entire nations have been brought to ruin. Yet, the UN dedicates far more time to discuss the Middle East conflict (and condemn Israel) than it dedicates to discuss all the crises in the world, combined. So really, what, or who is behind the situation in Israel, and what can possibly be the solution to it?

The Middle East conflict is not about territory. It is an ideological conflict.. Perhaps there are practical reasons playing their part behind the scenes, but when viewed from a broader perspective that is based on Israel’s ancient sources, the terror unfolding in the State of Israel is a direct result of neglecting the relationships between us—the people of Israel. We can stop the terror if we get to work on building a society where we all are responsible for one another and treat each other well. A scrutiny into the sources of the wisdom of Kabbalah indicates that the law of nature dictates that we do just that.

Who’s in Charge, and What Does the World Want from Israel?

On the world map, Israel seems like a tiny, helpless dot compared to the superpowers. And yet, throughout the generations our sages have insisted “Everything depends on Israel.”[1]

It is written in The Book of Zohar that “as the organs of the body cannot exist in the world even a minute without the heart, all the other nations cannot exist in the world without Israel.”[2]

Rav Kook elaborated a little more on the role of Israel when he wrote, “The construction of the world, which is currently crumpled by the dreadful storms of a blood-filled sword requires the construction of the Israeli nation … in anticipation of a force full of unity … that is found in Israel.”[3]

Apparently, it is we, Israel, who move the processes in our world.

Can We Restore Balance in Israel? On Whom Does It Depend?

Israel are dependent on one thing only—the power of connection. “Social unity can be the source of every joy and success.”[4] This means that by establishing positive connections among us, we depict the image of our day-to-day reality. The only cause that might arrest, delay, or interfere with our connection is the separation and alienation among us. This is why “We are commanded in each generation to strengthen the unity among us so that our enemies do not rule over us,”[5] since “When there are love, unity, and friendship between each other in Israel, no calamity can come upon them.”[6]

Additionally, our sages said that “All of Israel are responsible for one another,”[7]and “Israel will not be redeemed until they are all one bundle.”[8] In other words, the level of connection in the people of Israel is reflected in the political, social, and security situations. Connection is the only thing that can redeem the people from trouble and affliction, since “When Israel are as one man with one heart, they are as a fortified wall against the forces of evil.”[9]

Why Specifically We, the People of Israel, Can Change the Situation

The people of Israel are a unique, ideological group in the world. We first gathered approximately 4,000 years ago in ancient Babylon: “Abraham the Patriarch went and called by the name of the Lord until a great community gathered toward him, who had been called ‘the people of the house of Abraham.’ The matter continued to grow until it became the assembly of the congregation of Israel.”[10] We have the method to impact nature’s forces because “Israel are above nature.”[11]

What Is the Reason for the Current Wave of Terrorism, and Why Are We Hated?

For a long time now, the world has become a global village where we are all interconnected and interdependent. Subconsciously, the nations feel that we, the people of Israel, are holding the key to happiness. However, shirking our historic role, and the absence of the implementation of the method of connection in our relationships, invoke hate upon us from the rest of the world. “In such a generation, all the destructors among the Nations of the World raise their heads and wish primarily to destroy and to kill the Children of Israel, as it is written (Yevamot 63), ‘No calamity comes to the world but for Israel.’”[12]

How Can Connection in the People of Israel Prevent the Next Wave of Terrorism?

Rav Yehuda Ashlag, known as Baal HaSulam (Owner of the Ladder) for his Sulam(Ladder) commentary on The Book of Zohar, wrote that “The redemption of Israel and the whole of Israel’s merit depend on the study of The Zohar and the internality of the Torah. And vise versa, all the destruction and the decline of the Children of Israel are because they have abandoned the internality of the Torah. They have degraded its merit and made it seemingly redundant.”[13] Rabbi Akiva said, “Love your neighbor as yourself; this is a great rule in the Torah.”[14] Specifically unity and unfounded love among us can lead us to congruence with nature’s system, and only then the nations of the world will recognize Israel’s merit, as it is written in The Zohar, “With this composition, which is The Book of Zohar, they [Israel] will come out of exile with mercy.”[15]

How Can We Express Unity among Us in Our Daily Lives?

We must implement the principle of mutual guarantee, since “All of Israel are friends.” “All of Israel are each other’s guarantors [responsible for one another], meaning that when all are together, they see only good.”[16] Now is the time “to rediscover the national love that was instilled within us since the time we were on our land as a nation among the nations.”[17] We must decide that from now on we will begin to treat each other as brothers—in thoughts, words, and actions.

Why Specifically the Wisdom of Kabbalah Teaches Us about the Correction of the World?

The wisdom of Kabbalah is a science that explains forces of nature concealed from our perception, and which act on the people of Israel, and accordingly on the world and on the whole of reality. Kabbalah engages in one thing only—achieving connection among us in order to achieve balance with the force that governs nature. That force is called the “Creator.” In the words of Baal HaSulam, “This wisdom is … a sequence of roots, which hang down by way of cause and consequence, by fixed, determined rules, interweaving to a single, exalted goal: the revelation of His Godliness to His creatures in this world.”[18]

Why Is This Time Special? Why Is Our Unity So Important Specifically Now?

We are standing at a very special point in our process of development. The Book of Zohar writes about this point that “The children of Ishmael are destined to evoke great wars in the world.”[19] For this reason, “If we miss the opportunity and do not rise as one, with the great efforts required at a time of danger, to guarantee our staying in the land, then the facts before us pose a great threat to us, since matters are developing favorably for our enemies, who seek to destroy us from the face of the Earth. It is also clear that the enormous effort that the rugged road ahead requires of us mandates unity that is as solid and as hard as steel, from all parts of the nation, without exception. If we do not come out with united ranks toward the mighty forces that are standing on our way to harm us, we will find that our hope is doomed in advance.”[20]

What Can We Do? Implement the Principle of Mutual Guarantee

Let’s begin to cultivate among us the principle of mutual guarantee de facto. As soon as we get this connection going we will see how it applies to our everyday lives and how it can truly change things for the better. In this way, we will gradually become “as one man with one heart,”[21] and our security and good future will be guaranteed. The Holy Land will become a beacon of hope for the entire world, which is its historic role and purpose.

May we know quieter and better days.

“The Good Ones”—Mutual Guarantee From Kabbalah La’am

Dr. Michael Laitman“The Good Ones” (HaTovim) are a community of people who believe in mutual guarantee, in giving in unfounded love—“love thy friend as thyself.” We have recruited 150 volunteers recently to guard kindergartens all over Israel.

Due to the current situation in Israel, we have decided to increase the sense of security of parents and children all over the country. Rav Dr. Michael Laitman, the founder of Kabbalah La’am says: “Due to the recent events in Israel, we feel a growing need to increase the sense of personal security of people all over the country. The Kabbalah La’am organization sees mutual guarantee as the most important value: the more people help one another, the more peacefully and safely we will be able to live here. This is the reason we have decided to do everything in our power for this cause. We are delighted to have so quickly recruited over 150 volunteers who will guard kindergartens throughout the country throughout the entire school day. Although we were the ones to initiate this move, we are happy to receive calls from volunteers from all the sectors.”

The volunteers will guard the gates of kindergartens during the school day, from 7:30 in the morning to 2:30 in the afternoon (in two shifts).

Our Good Attitude

Laitman_514_02

Question: What should a strong country of Israel look like?

Answer: Israel needs to know just one thing: We all must come to love and mutual help, mutual guarantee and oneness, without doing to another what we hate and loving the neighbor like ourselves.

These are the conditions for the people of Israel to exist as a positive force in the center of the universe, which determines the good future for the whole world.

Then terrorists simply will have nowhere from which to appear. We will not need to think about how to get rid of the Intifada. The force that we will generate with our good attitude toward those like us, the Israelis, will affect the whole world and bring it to a wonderful state.

Accordingly, the world will begin to treat Israel like a force of goodness: everyone will guard, help, and take care of it in all possible ways. Like it is written, the nations of the world will pick up the sons of Israel onto their shoulders and bring them to Jerusalem.

Question: Do you believe that this quote from the prophet Isaiah and all other prophecies about a harmonious and wonderful world will be realized practically?

Answer: Of course! Although it seems that we might be moving in the exact opposite direction, this is precisely the most appropriate time to begin to realize these prophecies.

This is why the science of Kabbalah was revealed as the method of correcting our relationships and allows us to do just that. I wish us success in achieving it!
