Why Do Jews Always Win?

564Question: In everyday life, Jews cannot get along with each other, but at the same time they very quickly developed the country and literally raised it from the swamps. In addition, whenever war starts they win, although they remain scattered. How is this possible?

Answer: It does not depend on them. Do not credit them with it. This happens only because they have the upper purpose! It is only because they have a special quality of light, but in no way is it because they have the best brains. Also physically they are definitely not stronger than others. They owe this only to their upper purpose!

Therefore it is pointless to fight with them in general regarding any matter. Those who do, possibly not now but maybe for tens or hundreds of years, lose in the end, by and large.

We see this by the movement of Jews during exile from Spain to France, from France to Germany, from England, and so on. They came, the country blossomed, they were kicked out, and then the country fell into decay.

All this is the manifestation of the upper system. I am talking about what is happening when the upper governance is clothed into people. If they act against the Jews, who have a method of correcting the world inside of them, then in the end they are opposed to the Creator’s program.

From this they should suffer in the course of history by the manifestation of evil. Thus they show everyone else and themselves that the opposite of correction, manifested this way, is negative and deserves punishment. This is the path of suffering.

Question: In principle this is not their choice, right?

Answer: Of course not. After all, they had no way to be different. Where can a person have freedom of will?

Question: Should people learn from these things?

Answer: Actually no. If ordinary people do not have freewill, there is nothing you can do. You can only turn to those who have it.

If a person has egoism and a point in the heart and he can cause light to act on his ego through it, it can form the right dipole so that egoism and altruism are together as Keter and Malchut, one is put above the other so that the quality of bestowal prevails over the quality of reception, and in addition if he connects with others to make sure he is in the quality of bestowal with regard to them, and if he hides his quality of reception, then the upper light is revealed; it corrects this person, and this construction rises to the first degree of the spiritual world. And that is it.

Those who do not have a point in the heart, from the awareness of the crisis, meaninglessness, inevitability, and worthlessness, to the extent that they join this system, they also go up and move on. The feeling of the correctness of connection awakens within them and connects together into one system, and they feel the correct direction.

We Should Say Only Good Things to Each Other

630.2Question: There are a lot of articles in the media questioning where we are going. Many articles today report on what is happening in Israel and concludes that Israel is becoming a tough and cruel country as evidenced by 55,000 cases of physical violence, 32,000 of domestic violence, and mayhem on the roads.

Instances of a driver in a traffic jam getting out of his car and beating up another driver, knives instantly being pulled out in altercations, and domestic violence turning into death have been noted. There is also violence in hospitals, in ambulances, and incidents of doctors being beaten.

Tell me please, what is happening with Israel? Or maybe we haven’t seen this before?

Answer: It used to be a little different because egoism was not so big everywhere. Today it is a terrible condition and it will be even worse.

Question: Does this mean we will not be able to stop it by any earthly, ordinary measures?

Answer: No, not by any ordinary measures. Egoism is getting bigger, more merciless, and more uncontrollable by the minute. That is how it happens.

We are influenced by the egoism growing in us, which we must correct, and yet we do not correct it.

Question: So it will inevitably grow and require only correction?

Answer: Yes. And we cannot look at others to compare with others, how they are and how we are.

Question: So the correction is on us? Only?

Answer: Yes. Just turn everything into friendship, into good relations. Nothing else. If it will work, yes, and if it will not work, it will be the end of us.

Question: So you think the goal of the country is good connection and friendship between all citizens of Israel?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Just like that, in a simple way?

Answer: It is not easy and simple, but it should be like this.

Question: So you think that the laws, even the economic and political laws of the Knesset, should be brought only to this?

Answer: Of course.

Comment: They say that we simplify everything, that sentences are too simple, so simple for people! But, on the other hand, it is impossible to implement, as it turns out.

My Response: So if they can’t do them, then what does “we simplify” mean? We should only say good things to each other.

Comment: Meaning, to radiate only warmth to another.

My Response: Only!

Carriers of the Spark of Light

294.1In our world, Jews are carriers of a spark of light; therefore, people subconsciously hate them: “There is something peculiar about them, something about them is not right. They are not like all other people; they are like a special race or space aliens.”

And in fact, it is true. After all, there are fragments of sparks in them, which are opposite to the egoism of an ordinary healthy person. Therefore, on the one hand, people are drawn to them; on the other hand, they hate them.

From this, they inflated an entire system, anti-Semitism, and everything else. Why? Such is the difference in qualities! In our world they are the only ones who have a spark of light.

These Jews are still trying to convince everyone that they are like everyone else. But this spark is embedded within you, you cannot cut it out with any surgical instruments! You have something that others do not have. Other people are obliged to hate you because this is an opposite quality, it is not from our world at all!

Therefore, until the same quality is manifested in all people, anti-Semitism will exist. That is, on one hand, it is impossible to destroy these people, this tribe, this practically Kabbalistic group, because they have an upper purpose: to transmit the highest state to the entire world.

On the other hand, as long as they do not realize their mission, which they themselves do not suspect, anti-Semitism and hatred for this quality will not pass. They must reverse it, but not for their own sake.

Anti-Semitism somehow drives them to this and catalyzes the process.

World Geography from a Spiritual Point of View

746.01Question: It is known that the whole reality is divided into ten Sefirot, which in turn are further divided into ten, and so on. Does this mean that all over the world there are some places similar to Jerusalem, Lake Kinneret, and Galilee?

Answer: No. Kabbalists divide the whole world only into the land of Israel, then into Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Babylon.

These lands are under a special spiritual influence, descending as I named them: Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Babylon, i.e., today’s Iraq.

All other parts of the earth are practically on the same level and spiritually absolutely lifeless. But when people from there begin to rise to their spiritual root, then, as it is said, the land of Israel will begin to spread like shagreen leather over the entire territory of the globe.

Comment: You say: “Jordan, Syria…” It turns out that the current enemies of Israel, the countries that would like to destroy us, are the closest to Israel. Everything is upside down in our world.

My Response: Because we are upside down. As soon as we return to our roots, correct ourselves inversely, the correction of our neighbors will immediately occur. We should not expect any change from them until we change ourselves.

Let’s hope that first of all we realize this, feel this, and implement this.

All of Humanity Are Inhabitants of the Land of Israel

933Comment: You once said that one way or another, all of humanity will become inhabitants of the land of Israel.

My Response: Kabbalistic sources say that at the end of days the land of Israel will expand to the entire world.

This means that forces that are now concealed must descend from above to this land and from here spread their influence to the entire territory of the planet.

No matter where people are, they will feel their contact with the upper world, with the Creator. Therefore, the land of Israel is considered special.

Representatives of a Different Mind

748Question: Do you call Jews or your disciples in general the representatives of Bina?

Answer: Disciples or Jews are one and the same. In the sources, the Jews are people aspiring to the Creator, the people who want to attain the meaning of life, not ordinary people.

My disciples are the Jews, from the word “Yehudim,” striving for unity.

People who cultivate this yearning in themselves begin to feel all their corporeal impulses as artificial and superfluous ones, which they must still use and in which they must live, because this is necessary to correct the world. Through this they are in contact with the world.

At first they live just like everyone else. Maybe they succeed on the corporeal level, maybe not. But in principle, their suffering is internal, not external. Sometimes they go through very interesting metamorphoses.

Question: What is the difference in the perception of life of that part of humanity that needs to awaken as opposed to just an ordinary person?

Answer: In a person who is constantly transforming, the upper light is working all the time. That person perceives the world a little differently than other people.

He makes rather strange decisions and has sharp turns in life. He goes through many options for his attitude to life: quits, moves, accepts, discards, and gets carried away by one thing or the other, then quickly cools down, etc. This is a feature of his rapid development.

He seems odd, a little out of this world, a little edgy, angular, or smart. But in the end, in spite of everything, he discovers his find; “I found it!”

Now everything depends on his further development. As much as the strength of his desire to discover the purpose of life is truly deep, so he continues.

What matters here is a huge number of factors that awaken between him and the source of his development, how much he hears what he is told and grasps it, how much he has common habits and morals with the environment he is in, and much more.

Mysterious Civilizations of the Past

417Comment: A group of historians and archaeologists claims that before the civilizations of Mayans, Incans, and so on, there were super-civilizations, and that some kind of super people lived in the lands of Israel and India. Scientists have evidence that the cut of stone in these places is so perfect that even modern technologies cannot do this.

My Response: Yes, of course. When we go down under the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, there are blocks of 40, 60, and 70 tons. How could it be moved and installed with such precision without modern technical means? Even today it is difficult to do so.

Moreover, these blocks were brought from afar, tens of kilometers away. How were they delivered? How were they installed?

This is an incredibly difficult engineering challenge! It is beyond our power even today, and even more so at that time! Therefore, scientists have assumptions about superhumans.

I think they just misunderstand it. In many countries we find such paradoxes that people of the past used a kind of electric batteries, they made correct calculations based on the stars in the sky, and they had a different approach to nature.

The modern approach is rigid, as if digital, computerized, and their approach was based on the use of the general force of nature. They knew how to use methods that we do not know about today.

Now, moving to integral humanity, becoming generalized and round, we will gradually acquire a mind that will be in similarity with nature.

When we, like all nature,  become tied together by mutual guarantee, by a common obligation, and people understand that they are one single whole, then we will have a new mind, new thoughts, new desires. In this case, we will be able to understand nature itself because we will be like it, we will be together with it.

Superhumans or People Who Feel Nature?

Superhumans or People Who Feel Nature?

740.03Question: Scientists believe that superhumans once existed in the land of Israel. Could this be true from the point of view of Kabbalah?

Answer: No, there have never been superhumans here who would visit our Earth, who allegedly left cave paintings of spacesuits, or something else. It is all speculation!

But people were close to nature and knew about its internal qualities. They were one with it.

When I was in Colombia, four Indians who lived high in the Andes mountains suddenly came to one of the meetings with me.

They were dressed very interestingly and did not allow us to take photos of them. When they spoke to us, they did not look at us, but instead looked past us. Their gaze was directed only inward.

They said that about a month before my arrival in Colombia, they felt that a special person would visit their country, and they began to seek a meeting with me.

Can you imagine?! They were in the Andes where they have no connection with the world, no electricity or anything. Yet they felt some kind of waves and came to visit me.

It was interesting to communicate with them because a person who feels nature and its laws, in principle, feels the laws of Kabbalah. That is, he lives in the Andes at an altitude of 4,000 meters and feels another person who should come somewhere not far from him. Not far is hundreds of kilometers away.

Comment: But a Kabbalist and such a person are completely different. After all, people who feel nature still have to develop.

My Response: No, that is enough for them. They did not even have to talk, in principle. They approached me, we sat together, exchanged a few phrases, and that was enough for them. Everything else they receive, as they say, through nature, from the air. This is how this information comes to them. There is no need to talk; all of it exists in nature.

Comment: However, they did not come to the attainment that a Kabbalist comes to.

My Response: They attain and feel, just on a very small level. After all, they are in the same nature and feel the forces that are behind it.

Question: But do they still need to develop to the awareness that a Kabbalist achieves?

Answer: Maybe they do not need it. They represent a less developed egoism, and therefore they must correct themselves at its level, nothing more. Who cares? All the same, we all connect together into one single whole, a single desire. They make up a small weak part in this one single desire.

My part in this desire is more egoistic. So what? As a result, we will all organically connect into one common whole, into one body, and everyone will feel everything in exactly the same way, as our common body.

“Can we learn from Jews how to unite?” (Quora)

Dr. Michael LaitmanMichael Laitman, On Quora: Can we learn from Jews how to unite?

There was once a hefty dispute between David Ben-Gurion and Moshe Sharet. Sharet said, “What will the nations say?” And Ben-Gurion answered: “It doesn’t matter what the nations will say. What’s important is what the Jews will do.”

I agree with Ben-Gurion’s statement, but on condition that the Jews truly desire to achieve unity. No nation or other opinion would then matter to us. We would prioritize our unity over everything else.

The Jews have the ability to bring the condition of living in unity to the world. It is also why we are widely hated and blamed for being evil. There is a common feeling toward us that we host some kind of foundation, a force that can benefit the world, but which we keep to ourselves.

Despite Jews’ disproportionate success in fields such as science, medicine and technology, for instance, the disproportionate amount of Nobel Peace Prizes that Jews receive, we see that it leads to no special love for the Jews.

The Jewish people need to bring wholeness, love and unity to the world, and if we fail to do so, then nothing else we do counts.

In short, it is important that we unite and spread unity to the world through our example and teaching, so that everyone will know that their good future depends solely on unity. We will then all witness in practice what it means to be a “light unto the nations.”

Based on the video “The Dispute Between Ben-Gurion and Moshe Sharet – A Kabbalist’s Response” with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman and Oren Levi. Written/edited by students of Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman.

The Unique Geography of Israel

746.01The geography of Israel has its own unique features. Absolutely all climatic zones of the Earth could be found here. At a distance of literally 20 kilometers from each other, there are such transitions that are not found in other parts of the planet for thousands of kilometers.

Here there is desert, subtropics, and the lowest point on Earth, the Dead Sea. The elongated configuration of the country is very unusual, and it forms the seam between Europe, Asia, and Africa.

And in ancient times, millions of years ago, it was all connected and there were no canals. Over time the tectonic plates split and everything sort of spread out.

For these last thousands of years, it has been possible to speak about the geography of Israel as completely similar to the geography or connections of the upper world, the world of Atzilut.

Comment: But previously Israel was wider and stretched to the Euphrates River. And now it is an elongated strip.

My Response: It does not matter. We do not consider the current political borders, but rather geographical boundaries, the ones where the upper force that affects this land is spreading and is called “Israel.”

This force in actuality operates from the Nile to the Euphrates, including Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and today’s Israel. All these places are under a special upper influence that is called the power of “Israel,” which means “straight to the Creator(Israel, aimed upward).

But still, the most intense internal part is the one that is under the jurisdiction of Israel today. It fully corresponds to the structure of the upper world, the world of Atzilut.
