A Door To Time Travel

Laitman_910In the News (ibtimes.com.au): “Using single particles of light, scientists from the University of Queensland, Australia, have shown that a photon can pass through a wormhole to interact with its older self. The quantum experiment was aimed at simulation of time travel by quantum particles.

“The Collective Evolution, citing the Nature Communications, which published the findings of the quantum experiment, says the difficulty in time travel lies in the existence of ‘closed timelike curves’ (CTCs). A CTC refers to the line of a material particle in spacetime that is closed, enabling it to return to its starting point. The report says CTCs are used to simulate powerful gravitational fields of the kind produced by a spinning black hole. Based on Albert Einstein’s relativity theory, CTCs can theoretically warp or distort existence to bend space-time back on itself, enabling time travel.”

My Comment: If we assume that everything flows in time, the journey along the time axis is not possible. Whereas according to the wisdom of Kabbalah, everything exists within a single picture of the world. Past, present, and future can generate the existence of the world from the one and only state. It follows that time doesn’t exist but is only one parameter of subjective existence in our perception of reality.

The Uniqueness Of The Wisdom Of Kabbalah

laitman_214When we compare the wisdom of Kabblah with natural science, we discover a number of similarities and differences. According to Kabbalah, “a judge has only what his eyes can see.” Since this is purely a scientific approach, a person has to approach corporeal sciences and spiritual science in the exact same manner, which means according to the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Everything ordinary science uses is also typical of the wisdom of Kabbalah: attainment, repeatability of statistical data, graphs, etc. The wisdom of Kabbalah isn’t blind faith but attainment. According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, faith is the feeling of the upper world, which means the feeling of the force that fills the world and manages it wisely. This is also the difference between the wisdom of Kabbalah and other sciences that perceive only the outcome of the upper force at the level of our spiritually still world.

The wisdom of Kabbalah explores the actual governing force that ordinary people in our world don’t feel or perceive. In order to do so, they have to acquire corresponding attributes that are similar to this force. According to the physical law of equivalence of form, a person can feel only what matches his senses. Only then can he explore the single, upper force of nature.

Kabbalists record and process of their studies as data, drawings, graphs, and so on. They also claim that the Hebrew alphabet is made of special symbols that signal the different connections and ties of the two forces of nature, the positive and the negative.

In fact, the Hebrew and the Aramaic language mutually complement each other, and they appear as a result of studying the two attributes of nature, bestowal and receiption, that are at the basis of all the actions and phenomena in our world, the positive and the negative, etc.

Since the wisdom of Kabbalah relies mainly on the attainment of the basic force of nature, it is more accurate, more broad, and much more profound than all the other sciences; it is the universal wisdom.

This is also expressed by ancient philosophers and philosophers of the Middle Ages, scientists, and Kabbalists. Moreover, according to recently published Newton’s diaries, he  studied Hebrew and Kabbalah and from it learned the laws he wrote about.

The uniqueness of the wisdom of Kabbalah lies in the fact that it requires a person to create additional new senses unlike corporeal sciences, which study the nature using our pre-defined senses. Kabbalah is a science for any person who development an additional sense within himself or herself.

There is the force of bestowal in nature, the force of the mutual connection, that we cannot perceive because we don’t have the inner sensor, the receiver that perceives it. We cannot feel the force of bestowal or measure it, so we don’t know anything about our existence. We know only a small part of the creation and it is rather one-sided.

The wisdom of Kabbalah is a science that tells us not only about our world, in which there is one force of receiving, but about all of creation that is made of two forces: the force of bestowal and the force of receiving. Scientists don’t understand this at the moment, and only perceive very little of this. The problem isn’t the human mind that is meant to serve the small egoistic force, but the need to feel the whole volume of creation, which manifested within us.

It is actually this need that pushes a person forward. A person understands that he has to attain the meaning of life, its reason, root and purpose. Without them there is no meaning to life.

Scientists speak about the attainment of the human state while the wisdom of Kabbalah tells us about its root: what manages a person, why, for what, and toward what. At the same time, Kabbalah explains what we are have to change inside us since we can investigate the upper force only to the extent that we are similar to it.

And most importantly is why does a person study it? This is also the major stumbling block. A Kabbalists studies in order to care of others, to help others for the good of others, which ordinary science, in principle, doesn’t do.

Ordinary science investigates what exists and it’s not interested in how to apply this. Kabbalah offers its services to politicians and to the rich who then twist scientific achievements the way they want. A Kabbalist, on the other hand, studies and changes the world within him, and politicians or the rich have no use of it.

Depression Affects The Whole Body

Laitman_037In the News (Science Daily): “An international team of researchers led by the University of Granada (UGR) has demonstrated, for the first time, that depression is more than a mental disorder: it causes important alterations of the oxidative stress, so it should be considered a systemic disease, since it affects the whole organism.

“The results of this work could explain the significant association that depression has with cardiovascular diseases and cancer, and why people suffering from depression die younger. At the same time, this research may help finding new therapeutic targets for the prevention and treatment of depression.”

My Comment: Of course, the entire body is affected because the body, as well as the whole of creation, is a complete system, ten Sefirot, according to the general rule, “There is no partial in spirituality.”

The more that research of this type will become known to us, perhaps people will understand more rapidly that depression is clear sign of the demand by the body to attain fulfillment of the desire for pleasure in any way. In our day, fulfillment of the desire for pleasure is possible only through discovering the meaning of life. This is possible only by discovering our next level of development, which is the revelation of the upper world with the help of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

The Imbalance That Threatens Creation

laitman_746_01In the News (planet-today.ru): “US researchers have combined data on the majority of galaxies known to mankind and created an impressive scale of it in their Cosmic Web project that illustrates the structure of the universe by means of links between individual clusters of stars.

“’Ultimately, the universe is a network of individual galaxies, combined with gravitational interaction. We have built a visual model of these relations and got something that with the proper proportion of imagination can be called, “A view of the universe from God’s point of view”,’ – explains one of the authors of the project Kim Albrecht.”

My Comment: Kabbalah says that not only our world but all of creation is a single organism, and among all the worlds, only the human being has freedom of choice in his behavior. The rest of the creatures are instinctively run by nature.

So the balance of the entire system depends only on human behavior, and only humans bring it out of balance, and conversely, can restore it to balance.

Kabbalah explains how to manage the system correctly and maintain its balance. Currently, the egoistic behavior of humanity takes the system of creation out of equilibrium. Kabbalah warns of the consequences ….

Magic Tricks—Only In A Circus

laitman_600_04Question: When you encountered the wisdom of Kabbalah, did you immediately see deep meaning in it or did you first want to learn magic?

Answer: I never wanted to learn magic, that always repelled me. After all, I am a man of science, so I understood that this wasn’t serious. Magic tricks can only be in a circus.

What was the benefit from Nostradamus, Messing, or Wanga divining the future? Did they achieve something through this? They spoke about what they felt and nothing more.

I never aspired to be involved with it and I believe that it is completely unimportant. People who can predict the future exist, but it is up to us to develop realistically toward the true goal and purpose of creation. And in particular we must draw “a full wagon” of seven billion people after us.

How Can We Acquire The Language Of Kabbalah?

laitman_249-03Question: How can we acquire the language of Kabbalah? What does it depend on?

Answer: All you have to do is to listen to Kabbalah lessons regularly and you will acquire the language of Kabbalah. It is like a child who learns how to speak from his mother, or a person who finds himself in a strange environment and gradually begins to understand the foreign language though his feeling and not through the mind.

This is also how we can begin to understand the language of Kabbalah, the description of the upper world, which we don’t feel at the moment. By studying the wisdom of Kabbalah and uniting we gradually acquire the attributes of the upper world and so we begin to understand its names because we associate them with the new feelings that we have acquired.

Blitz Of Kabbalah Tips – 1/24/16

laitman_259_01Comment: You can find information on the Internet saying that a red string is a Kabbalistic Jewish lucky charm that can protect a person from envy and the evil eye.

Answer: A red string has nothing to do with Judaism or religion, and certainly not with the wisdom of Kabbalah. I don’t know where this idea comes from. I think it is an invention of the famous Berg Institute that engages in the desecration of the wisdom of Kabbalah and in selling anything they can: “holy water,” red strings, and other “Kabbalistic” accessories.

Question: Are there people who cannot be corrected?

Answer: Basically yes. These are people who cannot fully perceive reality. There are people who are born detached from reality and who relate to it differently than we do, and so the wisdom of Kabbalah isn’t for them.

Question: How does the wisdom of Kabbalah relate to female intuition? Is it real?

Answer: The wisdom of Kabbalah welcomes women who have strong intuition and those who don’t, but it has nothing to do with the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Question: Were Spinoza, Leibnitz, and Newton Kabbalists?

Answer: No.

Question: How does the wisdom of Kabbalah relate to a man’s unfaithfulness?

Answer: As the usual manifestations of animal behavior.

Question: How does the wisdom of Kabbalah regard artificial intelligence? What is its function?

Answer: This is a mechanical, computational intelligence that by calculations can resemble human feelings to some degree. On the other hand, any machine cannot recreate the Kabbalistic attribute of perceiving the upper world because it is based on the attribute of bestowal.

Question: In what way is a Kabbalist different from a prophet?

Answer: A prophet is a person who is directly connected to the upper force. It is a special attribute of the soul. You can become a prophet, but in order to do so you have to attain a special level on which you begin to feel the connection with the Creator on the level of a prophet.

“Take Off The Rose-Colored Glasses!”

Laitman_115_06Comment: Dr. Emma Seppala, Science Director of Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, presents a world view that is opposite from your views. When asked whether human nature is egoistic or whether it is kind, she replied that there are those who believe that people are naturally egoistic and that tough competition is the key to their success, but the principle of the survival of the fittest is incorrect and that it is possible to advance without underestimating or humiliating others. It makes no difference what a person engages in as long as he works for the well being of others. From her perspective man is basically good hearted and merciful and not egoistic.

Answer: Does this mean that people were given a mind in order to behave nicely to one another and to understand each other. Is this what determines the relations between states and nations? Do we see that this is what guides and motivates us today and throughout human history?

Our relations are based solely on the individual’s desire to rise higher than others, to be better off at the expense of others, and to use them. We should study and get to know how the animate level of nature operates. We are no different from animals. Only we are given also the mind that we use for the same egoistic development in all directions, wherever possible. Therefore, people are the greatest evil in nature. That is what we see.This is the reason that man is the worst creature in nature and this is actually what we see. If Dr. Emma Seppalla wears rose-colored glasses there is nothing we can do about it.

Nature is basically absolute egoism and this is also what the Torah says: “I have created the evil inclination; I have created the Torah as a spice.” Therefore, as long as man doesn’t use the Torah correctly, which means that he doesn’t draw the Light that Reforms in order to correct the ego, while he studies, he is a complete egoist. We are trapped in a vicious cycle that we cannot escape any other way except through the influence of the Upper Light that can pull us out. Otherwise, all our aspirations and our impulses, which may seem good, are totally egoistic.

One-Third Of British Muslims Are Anti-Semites

Laitman_727Question: According to the results of a poll that was arranged by the ICN company, more than a third of the adherents of Islam in Britain believe that the Jews have acquired too much control in Britain and influence over the communications media, financial institutions, and the economy. In addition, more than one-fourth of them are convinced that the Jews are responsible for most of the wars on Earth.

Unlike the other citizens in Britain, 27% of the Muslims who were questioned, acknowledge that they hate the Jews simply because of their behavior. So has anti-Semitism been more pronounced among Muslims than anyone else historically?

Answer: Throughout many generations Jews and Muslims existed together more or less normally because they never had any religious opponents, there weren’t special contrasts between them.

The crisis in relationships began from geographic and political opposition, when England didn’t want to leave the land of Israel and began to incite hatred among the Arabs toward the Jews. This was the usual policy of “divide and rule.”

Islam in its essence is not at all opposed to Judaism; on the contrary, these have been two religions that have been close as a counterweight to Christianity.

Question: Why does the current radical Islam bear such intense aggressiveness toward the Jews?

Answer: Modern Islam is radical Islam, yet the foundation of true Islam is Sufism (Islamic Wisdom of Kabbalah). Arab Kabbalists (Sufis) have lived in all times, from which are great literary works.

Today a major clash of egoism is happening in the world. So it is natural and necessary for Israel to go out first and present the method of unity to the whole world. This exists only with us, and we don’t want to reveal it in us and begin to work with it. This method of unification is called the wisdom of Kabbalah. It is not mysticism, Tarot cards, or red strings, but specifically the true wisdom of Kabbalah.

If we begin to be involved with the wisdom of Kabbalah, all of humanity will immediately feel how serious our intention is to introduce corrections of the egoistic nature of humanity into the world and bring everyone to unity, establishing peace and tranquility. Then all the streams that are directed against us will disappear.

Question: What is the first current that will accept the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: First everyone will be against the Kabbalists, including Judaism. After that, awareness and understanding will begin to happen partly among Christians and partly among Jews.

In the meantime, the matter is much more complicated among the Muslims even though inside they are closer to understanding. But there is a very big internal problem among them regarding their identity.

The best thing will be if we Jews unite and show the peoples of the world how to achieve global unity in our world.

How Do I Get To Heaven?

laitman_293Question: What is the difference between the path of Torah and the path of suffering if they both lead to suffering?

Answer: Everything is determined by the presence of the goal. A terrorist who cuts a person’s belly, for example, does so in order to kill him, while a surgeon who also cuts a person’s belly does it in order to save him. A person who is ill agrees to be operated on of his own freewill, and even pays for the operation and is ready to suffer the pain as long as he can get well.

A person who is about to undergo an operation is ready for any kind of suffering because he knows that he is gaining his life, while a person who was killed by a terrorist has lost his life. Therefore, everything depends on the way you assess the suffering and whether it gives you life or takes your life.

Question: The terrorist, himself, also is facing suffering and death because he thinks that this is the way to reach heaven. So, what is the path of the Light here?

Answer: For the terrorist, this is also the path of the light. This is what he believes. There are many theories according to which people are prepared to suffer in order to receive future pleasure.

According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, you should try to get closer to other people, but not for a reward in the next world after death. The corporeal body has nothing to do with that. The state you live in and identify with the corporeal body is a totally wrong state.

You must reach a totally different state in which you exist in the world of upper forces. In that world, you feel the effect of the upper forces and don’t identify with your body anymore. It is as if you shed the corporeal body off yourself, like a snake sheds its skin. Then, only the soul is left, which is in adhesion with the upper forces.

This state is called the Garden of Eden, heaven, and this is the state we should reach here and now, not in the next world. You need not kill anyone in order to reach it.

Question: It turns out that religions made up by man enable religious people to avoid suffering by holding on to an idol, such as God or Allah.

Answer: Of course, man made religion in order to sweeten his life and enable him to exist as if for a certain goal.

Judaism, Christianity, and then Islam emerged after the Jews fell from the spiritual level to an egoistic level, a state called the destruction of the Temple. Religion is the corporeal, egoistic reflection of the spiritual path.

It gradually brings humanity to the recognition that we must ascend spiritually. This is the reason that religions reach a peak and then disappear from the world, and a person begins to look for the true meaning of life.
