Why Is Kabbalah Considered A Science?

laitman_214Question: How can one reveal the Creator?

Answer: It is possible to reveal the Creator only if you are in a corresponding group, study Kabbalah, and begin to follow the rules for revealing the Creator. Practically the entire science of Kabbalah is the science of revealing the Creator to man in this world.

Question: Why is Kabbalah considered a science and not a teaching?

Answer: Because we reveal what exists around us and it is all inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human nature. A comprehension of the surrounding nature and its study is a science.

What do the sciences of our world reveal, such as physics, chemistry, biology, zoology, botany, etc.? They discover the space surrounding us filled with inanimate, vegetative and animate bodies.

Kabbalah reveals not only what we see and feel, but the force behind it called the Creator. And then we begin to understand how everything is arranged, and why all of it is presented and given to us so.

Theory Of Anti-Semitism, Part 8

laitman_963.1Do the Jews know about their mission?

Baal HaSulam, “The Arvut” (Mutual Guarantee): With these words, we clearly understand what we said above, about the Torah being given specifically to the Israeli nation, because it is certain and unequivocal, that the purpose of Creation lies on the shoulders of the whole of the human race, black, white or yellow, without any essential difference.

The goal of creation is global connection. The complete dissolution of all nations into each other must be so strong and without any distortions, that the Creator, the global force of good and love, will be revealed in it.

There is only one goal, but only a small group hat has received the method of correction can lead to it.

Question: What kind of unity is this?

Answer: Unity is when we join together in one system and become similar to general nature. We begin to understand that nature itself is integral, supports itself at all levels, exists in full interaction with the force of love, bestowal, and mutual support, as one single organism.

Question: It turns out that a combined team was created from all the nations, which was to implement the correction method among themselves and then pass it on to all the nations. Did the Jews who were subject to pogroms both in the Middle Ages and in Nazi Germany know about this?

Answer: No, of course not.

Question: Why does nature punish creatures and want, on one hand, conscious development and, on the other hand, does not give people any knowledge about it?

Answer: We have lost this knowledge. We lost it at the time of the collapse of the Second Temple.

The period from the collapse of the Second Temple to the time of Ari was a stage of dark development. But beginning in the sixteenth century, with the appearance of Ari and then Baal Shem Tov with all his students, Kabbalah began to flourish. It became possible to explain to people what the mission of the Jewish people is. But to this day, no one wants to hear about it.

Therefore, the opposite force of nature is now manifesting itself: immense modern anti-Semitism. It is not religious in nature, but rather anti-Israeli, anti-State. But this is temporary.

Gradually, it will acquire completely different properties: anti-Jewish, anti-Semitism, without any addition. Now anti-Semites are still hiding behind their statements against the state, claiming that the state is apartheid. But soon all the hatred will come out again.

In accordance with this, we need to explain, first of all to the Jews, that all this is happening because we are not fulfilling our historical mission. Nothing will help! Only returning to it!

Remark: But if you go out on the street today and ask people if they know about their mission to unite, hardly anyone will know.

My Reply: This is what our Kabbalistic group should do.

Question: Did the six million people who died during the Nazi era know about this mission?

Answer: They did not know and should not have known.

Question: Then why this attitude toward them from nature?

Answer: To know this, one must understand nature. And then you will see why this is happening. Nature does not play with small states and relationships.

The Kabbalists knew in advance that this would happen. And today, we assume that everything can happen again.

Remark: If we consider the Creator as insensitive nature, then everything is clear.

My Reply: The Creator is the absolute law of nature. We have no other choice but to explain this first of all to the Jews via any media by any means without looking at any enemies or haters.

laitman_749.01Anti-Semitism—the Law of Preservation of the Jewish People

Question: Christianity is a religion millions of people have converted to. And it has always been claimed that specifically Jews avoided this. And suddenly, Jews themselves began to convert to Christianity. It would seem that everyone should be happy that they finally understood who the real God, the Messiah is. And here, we have the opposite.

Why were the nations of the world not happy that Jews were becoming Christians?

Answer: It was not a question of whether they were happy or not. It does not depend on the people or their rulers. It depends on the upper force that has a predetermined goal. If you advance toward this goal, then everything is fine. And if you deviate or go in the opposite direction, you naturally get these rebounds.

Even at the time of the exile of the Jews from Spain, Queen Isabella said to the Jews who begged her not to chase them out of the country: “Why do you address me? You must turn to the Creator! He does everything, not me.”

Remark: A great sage, close to the royal couple, Don Yitzhak Abarbanel wrote that Queen Isabella said: “The heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord like streams of water: wherever He wants, He directs it.” And added: “Do you think that what has fallen to your lot comes from us? The Lord has put it in the heart of the King.”

Answer: How low have the Jews fallen so that the Spanish Queen must explain the Torah to them, that everything is in the hands of the Creator and not in the hands of the King!

Remark: After about 300,000 Jews were exiled from Spain, a severe regression began.

My Reply: More than 500 years have passed since then, but Spain has never recovered. It used to be the most prosperous country.

Remark: The neighboring countries that accepted the Jews said: “Thank you for them, King Ferdinand. Why did he have to drive them out?”

Something irrational happened. Everyone understood that it was not necessary to do this because their entire economy was managed by Jews and managed well, in favor of the elite itself. On the other hand, they had already converted to Christianity and there was no problem. And suddenly, something incomprehensible happens: some sort of a law turns on.

My Reply: The supreme law. The upper force. If the Jews had remained there, they would have completely disappeared. This way, by arousing hatred against them and chasing them from place to place, it was possible to preserve this people in order to lead them to a state when, in our time, they can already lead the whole world toward the goal.

laitman_437Where is the integration of Jews in other countries leading?

Question: Several hundred years ago with the arrival of Arabs to Spain, the Spanish Golden Age period began. Jews enjoyed religious freedom, led the country’s economy, and had judicial autonomy.

In the 12th century, even the word convivencia appeared, meaning the happy coexistence of Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Usually such periods in history ended very quickly. As soon as Jews would begin to integrate with any country, the law of anti-Semitism switched on immediately, and they were persecuted. Why? You always say that the goal of dispersing the Jews is to transfer the spiritual method to other nations.

Answer: Only If their goal is to really transfer the methodology.

Dispersion usually leads to the absorption of a people and nothing remains of it. Who then would fulfill the plan of nature? Therefore, the law of anti-Semitism kicks in, the law of the preservation of the Jewish people so that they fulfill their spiritual mission. Assimilation is absorption, dissolution.

Remark: But the Jews kept all the commandments, all the traditions. Always.

Answer: No, it was not always the case. They tried in every possible way to adopt the cultural and worldly traditions of other nations. Many converted to a different faith. Mixed marriages spread. Jews rejected their dependence on the Torah. It was not easy.

Remark: Indeed, such people in Spain were called conversos or maranas. They adopted Christianity in order to advance through the ranks and occupy posts. It was at this moment that the pogroms began. As the Soviet historian S. YA Lurie wrote: “So, we come to the conclusion that the intensification of assimilative tendencies in Jewry has always caused an increase in anti-Semitism and in particular (which sounds especially paradoxical), an increase in accusations of particularism,” that is, in separation.

Answer: You will not escape; this is the law of nature. You can develop but only in the direction that enables your connection with others in order to convey your spiritual path to them. And if this is not the case, then this connection brings a sharply negative impact from those with whom you are connecting.

laitman_592.03Why do the nations of the world dislike Jews?

Question: Why did the method of connection have to be transmitted by harsh methods through hatred, pogroms, etc.?

Answer: If for many years and all sorts of conditions that are manifested in a long historical process, the group that Abraham created still does not want to realize itself, so all the other 70 nations of the world begin to demand from them its embodiment.

They begin to feel that they can achieve a good, kind, even eternal, perfect state, and this group prevents this for them. And if they would not exist in this world since this group is not fulfilling its purpose, then it will be good for them.

Look what is written by the sages of the nations of the world. On the one hand, they believe Jews are special, the leaven for all of humanity. On the other hand, they hate Jews because they can’t connect with them.

In other words, the nations of the world have two purely polar relations to these people at the same time because they are not realizing their historical function.

laitman_263Nationality or National Team?

Baal HaSulam, Matan Torah “The Giving of the Torah,” Item 5: We must first understand why the Torah was given specifically to the Israeli nation and not to all the peoples of the world equally. Is there, God forbid, nationalism involved here? Of course, only an insane person would think that.

There is no such thing as being chosen. The qualities of total bestowal, love, connection, and kindness are collectively called the Creator. And the opposite qualities are called creation.

Gradually, creation must reach the quality of the Creator. That is, without changing inside, where the same hatred and opposition remain, it must clothe itself outside with the quality of the Creator.

Question: Is the goal of this process to give one of the nations the methodology that they must pass on to all the rest of the peoples?

Answer: Indeed, the method was given, not to one nation, but to a group of people gathered from representatives of all nations.

Question: So it wasn’t a nation relating to the same family?

Answer: It is believed that there are 70 nations in the world. Therefore, the method was given not to one nation, so that the other 69 nations would remain without it, but to representatives of all the nations gathered from those who followed Abraham on their inner inspiration.

Comment: Later, they were joined by a huge number of people.

My Response: Anyone can join them. Everything depends on the natural desire.

Shavuot—Receiving The Method Of Correction

laitman_937Question: After the exodus from Egypt, the Torah was received, which represents the special holiday of Shavuot. Receiving the Torah means receiving the upper light with the help of which a person can correct himself and reach the level of the Creator.

Why did this happen on Mount Sinai?

Answer: Mount Sinai personifies hatred toward our egoism, due to which we can receive the highest light.

We received the method for correcting the ego because we hated it as we were standing under Mount Sinai, we saw how much this selfishness is odious to us, how much it is against us. We were literally ready to bury ourselves under this mountain if we did not receive the force of correction.

Only after that were we able to enter the Land of Israel, in Eretz Yisrael.

“Eretz” is desire, “Israel” (Isra-El)—aimed directly to the Creator (Yashar-Kel).

Being in the Land of Israel, we built the First and the Second Temples there, which personify the unification of the whole soul in its leading form, called Israel. And in our time, we must draw to this not only ourselves, but also the whole humanity and reach the Third Temple.

Israel Cannot Be Defeated By Missiles

laitman_960.1Comment: A forum in commemoration of 75 years of the liberation of Auschwitz was held not long ago. According to the statistics on the day that the forum was held, Israel curbed 800 cyber-attacks on airports and on the airplanes of world leaders.

My Response: This is actually the war of the future. What’s the use of killing people? It also costs much more money. A cyber-attack, on the other hand, is done quietly, because all the world leaders come here and the goal is to eliminate them. This kind of cyber war takes place every day, but not at this rate and not so intensively, not everyone together.

Comment: The hackers in different countries tried to disrupt the runway of as many as 60 planes at Ben Gurion airport.

My Response: According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, humanity can replay its faith and annihilate itself in a thermo-nuclear war and then be reborn thousands of years later and grow, like in Chernobyl, and history will repeat itself but in a better way, because after such an event the mutations will be better. They will preserve all the problems of the past internally and will not repeat them anymore.

Comment: This is a horrible script, of course, especially after Holocaust  Remembrance  Day.

My Response: But they will not repeat the problems of the past.

Question: There are many important meetings all over the world that world leaders attend. Why is it possible to see this now so clearly by Israel?

Answer: It is general love when world leaders come together and at the same time there are cyber-attacks.

Question: The outcome is a very romantic story, when all the world leaders come together, Israel reflects this attack; after all, it is Israel! So the attack must always be reflected. Does this mean that the hackers will never succeed?

Answer: They will never succeed.

Question: Why is this related?

Answer: It is because this nation, the nation of Israel, has a mission. It has a mission in this world. It is a mission that the whole world needs, and so nothing will happen to Israel. This is the reason that it is the safest place on earth. No matter which place in the world you visit, you may always think: “it is safe here, well, but…”, whereas in Israel, although it is not safe, and not so easy to live in, nothing will happen.

They need to find out through all their attempts that they will never succeed in any way, and ask themselves why they don’t succeed. Then they need to look for an answer. But if they don’t find an answer, they should get an answer which seemingly doesn’t make sense from a Kabbalist and accept it.

Question: What changes need to take place so that humanity will reach that?

Answer: This also depends on the nation of Israel and whether it will be able to explain this to everyone in the world: who it is, what it is, and what it exists for.

Question: And how can the nation of Israel want to do that?

Answer: It needs to listen to what the wisdom of Kabbalah says. All the people in the world need to know what the world exists for, for what purpose, and what each of the created beings must do in order to bring the world to the optimal state.

Question: And what law do they need to implement once they are all under “the hat” of Israel? Which laws do people need to keep between them?

Answer: Absolute, complete, mutual participation, unity, closeness, and understanding of each other, as one single whole, when all of humanity is as one family, when everyone together are like one man, an absolute feeling of the other as yourself. It should be as a woman feels the baby in her womb. This is how each one needs to feel everyone else inside him.

Question: Will Israel be like a warm blanket?

Answer: Yes, a warm blanket that covers the whole world and everyone feels warm, good, and safe.

Nations Of The World And A Point In The Heart

laitman_944Question: Is there a proportional dependence of our qualitative unification and the opening of a point in the heart in some of the nations of the world?

Answer: I would not say that there is such a division of the nations of the world when first one nation reveals a point in the heart, then the second, and then the third one. I can see this even in our groups.

Today in virtual communication with us there are Germany, Bulgaria, Israel, Vienna, Yoshkar-Ola, Petersburg, Almaty, Azerbaijan, Holland, Czechoslovakia, Moscow, many friends from Africa, North and South America, etc. I do not think it depends on skin color or nationality.

And even people who have already revealed Kabbalah and study with us generally perceive it in the same way. Therefore, it cannot be said that “points in the heart” will first arise in one nation, then in the second, and then in the third one. This happens in waves depending on the development of people. The Creator’s light affects them and highlights one or another person.

If you take a large mechanism, then all its points are connected. For example, all parts of a human body constantly interact, although they are not located next to each other and there seems to be no special connection between them. But feedback exists anyway, and each organ is activated through the inclusion of other organs. After all, this is an integrated circuit, parts of which are completely dependent on each other. Therefore, I do not support any conspiracy theories that say, this nation will reveal the Creator more quickly, and that one more slowly, especially in our time.

A long time ago in Ancient Babylon, there lived all nations of the world, each of which numbered several dozen people. Then from all the Babylonians a united group emerged, which began to strive for the Creator. It exists to this day, although many have dropped from it.

Several hundred people have remained from that group—those who today feel a craving for revelation of the Creator, and the rest turned into ordinary earthlings. And today the reverse process is taking place.

In the Torah it is written that the time of Messiah will come, of the last generation, when all the Babylonians will gradually awaken again in order to move to the Creator. This is what we are observing.

Just as the movement toward the Creator once appeared in a group of Babylonians, so it is happening today. Therefore, everyone will rush to Him, no matter who and how. In no case should we think that now it will be Finland, then Poland, and then Czechoslovakia, Germany, or Azerbaijan. Whatever will be, will be.

I am very glad that people are beginning to feel that the science of Kabbalah is talking about the soul, about their spiritual development. I hope that their studies of Kabbalah will promote the development of both their states and their nations.

laitman_746.03Uprising Against Unrest Between the People

Question: In the 3rd century BC, the Egyptian King Philadelphus invited the Jewish sages to translate the Torah into Greek. That is how the Bible came about. Before that, the sages told the king how to rule correctly, what the relationships between people should be like. In fact, he took their idea and wanted to bring it to life in his empire.

But after the Jews themselves began to assimilate and adopt the laws of their neighbors, the king’s followers changed their minds. In particular, Antiochus IV Epiphanes from the Seleucid dynasty first issued a decree on respect for the Temple and the way of life of the Jews, but when they began to adopt the traditions of the Hellenists, a confrontation arose that led to the revolt of the Maccabees.

Interestingly, the Maccabees’ war was not waged with the Greeks, but with the Hellenistic Jews.

Who are they? And why was the war waged against its own people?

Answer: The fact is that among the Jews there appeared to be a huge number of people who advocated adherence to Greek philosophy, ideology, world-view, and societal structure.

Question: So is this where the unrest between the people emerged?

Answer: Only here! It was always exclusively between the people. This is how the saying came about: Leave the Jews alone and they will destroy themselves.

Thus, the departure of the Jews from their ideology laid the foundation for anti-Semitism. If we are disconnected, this law is activated and we cause hatred toward ourselves. A good attitude toward us turns bad.
