New Life #90 – Understanding Depression, Part 1
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

Depression is like a virus that stems from existential questions we cannot seem to answer. Physical pain can result from mental pain and depression. We can’t find a solution to the growing feeling of emptiness inside, and old ways of coping through sports, entertainment, and hobbies are no longer effective. We feel cornered because we are closed inside of ourselves. There is a single remedy for depression, a new human program based on the principle “And you shall love your friend as yourself.” In other words, we need to exit our bodies and feel our desires and thoughts inside others. We can learn how to exit depression by considering what is good for others instead of what is good for myself. This can be achieved via discussion workshops in groups.

New Life 1062 – The Desire To Know
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

Nature has given humans the desire to know so that they will learn how to correct themselves, develop the eternal part within themselves, and reach the level of the Creator. This desire to know and understand comes from our need to survive, advance, and develop. We seek answers to questions such as, “Who am I?” “Where did I come from?” and “Where am I headed?” We have the creative, higher force inherent inside us. However, this force can also be used in a destructive, egoistic way. Although nature openly invites us to learn about it, our ability to absorb eternity is limited. We fail to see the connection between various forms of study and nature as a whole.

New Life 1060 – Critical Thinking And The Wisdom Of Kabbalah
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Accurate critical thinking requires measuring one unit of falsehood against one unit of truth. The intensity and depth of my criticism depend on the strength of my connection with the principle force of nature. I must detach myself from the still, vegetative, and animate forms of life and adhere to the inner force that is at the foundation of nature. When I discover this force within myself, I can then test my thinking against it. In the past, humanity engaged in critical thinking in an incomplete way due to egoism and self-absorbed interests and opinions. In order to overcome doubt and find out what nature really requires of us, it is necessary to continue to ask, investigate, and clarify the truth within a special group of people who want to acquire new qualities.

New Life #89 – The Healing Power of the Mind, Part 2
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

We can use the power of our minds to heal ourselves and the world. We are living in a tightly connected battlefield, bombarded by subconscious, evil thoughts and painful conflict between neighbors. We affect one another, either positively or negatively within this integral system whether we like it or not. We can, nevertheless, create goodness by installing a mental antivirus or a positive attitude toward others so that we treat them in the same manner we would treat our beloved children. By acting artificially in this way as though we were playing a game, we work against shame and resistance and reveal love between us.

New Life #88 – The Healing Power of the Mind, Part 1
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

People can invoke an enormous healing force through the power of the mind. More specifically, we attain mental health when we manage our desires with the power of thought and achieve balance between the two. This can only occurin a supportive environment that will protect each person from confusion and harmful competition. Africans, for example, are generally happy because their society doesn’t pressure them to achieve more and more. Let’s imagine that we are all connected together and that the whole world is peaceful and, in this way, build the healing power of the mind through the group.

New Life #87 – Overcoming Anxiety, Part 2
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

Social, mental, and physical healing and health occur when we are part of a supportive environment. Groups of people can transform anxiety into feelings of security, happiness, and relaxation through various games and exercises. Everyone impresses the others by being “smaller” and influences the others in a positive way by being “greater.” Everyone elevates the general mood in the group with jokes. Hypersensitivities are alleviated by absorbing opposite impressions of relaxation from others. By playing with one another as though we are safe and secure, what we act gradually becomes our new reality.

New Life 532 – Kabbalah Congress, Leaping To The Goal Of Creation
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

Participating in a Kabbalah Convention provides a person with an opportunity to jump forward into the purpose of creation, into complete connection and mutual love. If each one comes with an open heart and makes efforts to unite with everyone else, we can discover the Creator, the ultimate force of nature. We can create a situation in which bestowal, love, giving, and wholeness exist between us and we feel like one family. We can transcend our instinctive nature and reach a common prayer when we open our hearts to love others, and through this reach love of the Creator.

New Life #86 – Overcoming Anxiety, Part 1
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

Anxiety and concern are essential to our existence and fulfillment. Since the foundation of all life is the desire to enjoy, we are in a constant state of anxiety regarding how we will fill ourselves. The only way to change direction and eliminate self-absorbed fear is through education regarding the importance of one’s environment. The positive influence of one’s environment can transform our egotistical and competitive worries into concern for the well-being of others. We can build a protective, balanced, and calm system around us through positive human relationships.

New Life 84 – Understanding Chronic Fatigue
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

When we close ourselves in a bubble, we feel safe and comfortable on one hand, but empty and alone on the other. We block the spirit of life and end up lacking strength, will, and motivation. The resulting lack of circulation between us causes illnesses, troubles, and pains such as cancer, divorce, depression, and terrorism. Health can be restored by creating a warm connection to others. For example, caring for a grandchild can transform boredom into a new sense of life. Opening up to strangers with an attitude of love and bestowal has the power to open all the blockages and truly heal.
