New Life 1200 – Communication In Relationships

New Life 1200 – Communication In Relationships
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

Rather than blaming, putting down, or confronting others, we need to find a way to communicate so that the other person can receive it. We always want to be right, but by conceding to an angry person, one disarms them immediately. Every fight can be stopped with a kiss. Children also need to be allowed to express all of their emotions, including anger. Accepting others as they are without wanting to change them is important. Instead, my focus should be on changing myself.

New Life 1199 – How To Approach People

New Life 1199 – How To Approach People
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

A Kabbalist is an expert in approaching people. He finds, within himself, something similar to the other person and gives them the feeling of being understood, known, and agreed with so the other can open up. A Kabbalist listens with interest, knows what the other wants to hear, and expresses joy from the relationship. A Kabbalist shows that his heart is open to receive the other.

New Life 1198 – The Israeli Bubble

New Life 1198 – The Israeli Bubble
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Israelis live in a bubble because we do not feel reality as it is. We are prideful and self-centered. We have a strong ego and enjoy looking down on everyone else. Nevertheless, we imagine a picture that we like in our minds and perceive ourselves differently than how others perceive us. Only troubles can get us out of this bubble, connect us, and help us realize our destiny. By nature, Jews are different in that we have a tendency for connection and love of others. We are hated because we are not showing others how to achieve correction, perfection, and connection. If we connect, we will reveal the upper force and every goodness for humanity.

New Life 1196 – Understanding Prohibitions In The Torah

New Life 1196 – Understanding Prohibitions In The Torah
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

The Torah does not pertain to this world and it is therefore impossible to understand it correctly without discovering the upper world. All of the prohibitions in the Torah are interpretations of the egoistic use of the spiritual world in the language of this world. In reality, the Torah is not restrictive or punishment-oriented. Its purpose is to transform a person to become loving like the upper force. The completion of this correction is called Shabbat, which is the final stage in human development.

New Life 1194 – Building Your Own Framework For Life

New Life 1194 – Building Your Own Framework For Life
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

In the 20th Century, it is up to each one to clarify what the purpose and essence of one’s life is and to determine one’s own framework accordingly. Everything is uncertain today. A supportive society is required in order to maintain one’s framework and keep one’s goals alive.

New Life 1195 – Law And Crime

New Life 1195 – Law And Crime
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Crime stems from the development of the human ego so that we will recognize its destructive power. The human ego derives satisfaction, fulfillment, money, respect, and control from harming others. This is the true essence of crime. We do not succeed in rehabilitating criminals because the whole society requires education regarding how to love others. Our laws depend on the egoistic values of the legislators rather than the absolute lawfulness of nature which operates according to the principle “And you shall love your friend as yourself.”

New Life 1193 – Coping With Change

New Life 1193 – Coping With Change
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

Relaxed satisfaction with life happens when we engage in what is important. We feel calm and comfortable about our desires, thoughts, plans, and even frustrations when we have the support of a positive environment. Women are better able to cope with postpartum depression when they are among supportive women and family. Becoming a father is also a major change for a man and community support helps. Sport and exercise help to relieve stress as well since it burns all types of waste in the body. Any change creates pressure that is alleviated with support from others.

New Life 1192 – Attaining Renewal Through Despair

New Life 1192 – Attaining Renewal Through Despair
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Defeat, crisis, and failure are the birthplace of spiritual renewal and development. Despair signals where one is in relation to one’s goal and can be overcome when we learn how to turn to a higher, external force for new power. Everything we have from nature is good and correct. Children can be taught how to have a correct attitude toward failure through a good example and environment. Humans are social beings and we can spiritually develop when learn how to depend on and give to others.

New Life 1191 – The Mechanism Of Suppression

New Life 1191 – The Mechanism Of Suppression
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Suppression is our natural desire to distance ourselves from anything that is harmful. We do not forget but, rather, avoid harmful or painful memories. The body organizes and manages all the information we acquire as a result of our experiences. There is no reason to work with this information storehouse. Instead, we should just begin every day as a new person who is advancing and correcting himself. In order to learn from the past and correct what will become our future, a general social education system based on the wisdom of Kabbalah is required.

New Life 1190 – The Need For Support From Others

New Life 1190 – The Need For Support From Others
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Humans are social creatures that cannot survive alone in the world. They have internal spaces that require connection. We become enriched and our burdens are lightened when we are included with others. We become aware of complex forces that operate on us when we have mutually supportive relationships. We must integrate into the form of the other person by building his model within, becoming clothed in him in order to feel what he is truly missing and to offer the right support. Ultimately, all of us will become connected as one and life will flow between us.
