New Life 823 – The System Of Reality
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

Nature is a closed integral system in which every part affects all the other parts.

The human body is managed by the laws of nature and belongs to the animate level. We have to develop the speaking level above it. As long as we don’t feel the system, our perception of reward and punishment is false. “Love thy friend as thyself” is a state of being incorporated in the whole system, which guarantees a positive response. If you receive a response that seems negative, it is because the system actually guides you to advance to a higher level.

New Life 822 – Is There Reward And Punishment
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

We are in the system of nature but we don’t feel it, so we don’t feel or see the mechanism of reward and punishment.

Our world is a narrow segment of a whole reality, so the reaction to our actions is not clear to us. The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches every person who wants to know how to develop this internal system in order to feel the whole reality.

New Life 821 – Democracy And Equality
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

By teaching people to be mutually connected, we achieve equality and the ability to be considerate of others.

We are all connected by one system, and every individual is like a cogwheel without which the system cannot function. True equal rights are expressed in giving equal opportunities to everyone and bestowing goodness unto others. Our problem is education. At school today, children’s attitudes to each other and to the teachers is very bad. Democracy, equality, and a true relationship between people are the result of feeling that we are all one family.

Eventually we all have to feel that we are all one family, and this will make us feel what everyone needs and we will give it to them. When each one contributes as much as he can to society, it will be a true egalitarian democracy.

New Life 820 – Democracy And Individual Freedom 
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Democracy will remain nothing but an imaginary philosophical concept unless human nature is corrected.

Man’s nature is the desire to be free and that everyone will serve him. This leads to clashes with others, and so true democracy, which will actually promise freedom to the individual, can only be established through educating people.

Only after every individual in society learns to feel that his own good and the good of the society are one will we be able to live in a democracy.

New Life 819 – Jewish Culture: The Mezuzah
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Why are we commanded to put a Mezuzah on our doorpost? What is the special protection that it provides and what is the purpose of keeping Mitzvot (the commandments) in our life?

Jewish customs, the Mitzvot, are in a structure of a branch and root. They are only the signs of the upper spiritual roots. Abraham broke the statues of the idols in order to show the Babylonians that there are no corporeal means that can protect a person. All the Jewish customs are meant to remind us to be in contact with the upper force through love of others.

New Life 831 – Anti-Semitism In The United States And Europe
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-HarelSummary

The wave of anti-Semitism that has appeared today stems from Jews hating the Jew within them. The role of the Jews is to show everyone who comes into the world how to connect with love, but they are not doing this.

Jews are the only ones who can lead the world to a life of love and connection between all. Only then will anti-Semitism cease and be replaced with sympathy and support.

New Life #80 – The Health of the Heart
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitza Mazoz

Summary

How do love and spiritual perception relate to the health of the heart?

The heart symbolizes an individual’s will and desire. Heart disease is a reflection of our relationships. The heart is a pump that presents a balance between giving and receiving. The heart itself does not need anything except a little energy to operate.

New Life 816 – Conflicts In Relationships
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Why are conflicts essential in a relationship? What is the right way of coping with opposing opinions in a relationship and how does it build a new level in the relationship?

We become equal when we reach a mutual agreement that the importance of the connection between us is above everything.

New Life 815 – From Excessive Externality To Love
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

Why do we tend to chase luxuries? How can we see beyond appearances, and how does love enable to us see the truth?
A person is willing to do anything to be appreciated and respected, so we live in a culture of lies.

A certain phenomenon has to intensify so that we can discover that it is negative. Education can help us understand that there are things that seem good and sweet, but they are actually false and harmful.

Only love can be considered an absolute discernment of the truth with which we will align. Love can bring us closer to the truth because it requires our ascent above the ego and working for the sake of everyone else.

The more we advance toward love, the more we will cease to respect people’s external changes. For example, a man who is attracted to a beautiful woman and later discovers that she has used him, will see her as ugly.

We are made of two levels, the animate level and the human level, above which we have to grow.

The education of all of society will help us acquire new values instead of the false externality. The corruption that is being revealed today in the connections between capital and power will force us to advance toward the truth.

Only love enables us to see the truth since it changes a person’s perspective from thinking about himself to thinking about the wellbeing of the public.

New Life 814 – Revealing The Lie In Our Times
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

Why does it seem that we are surrounded by lies? What can we learn from that about human nature and why is this study essential on our way to the next level of our development?

Today we are revealing the truth that we are living in a lie. The wisdom of Kabbalah tells us that it stems from our egoistic nature.

We developed for thousands of years in egoism, and now the lie in it is emerging. This is very good progress. No one in this world is clean of the ego, so we are all liars. No one can see things objectively.

We will not be able to advance unless we realize that our goal is to reach love of others and that everyone should do whatever he can for the sake of the society.

The media and social networks are full of false information, and each loves his own lie. We need a general social education process through which we will get to know our nature and learn to upgrade it.

Soon all of humanity will discover that the connection between capital, power, and the press does not allow us to function at all.

The evolutionary process forces us to discover that human nature is egoistic and that we have to ascend above the egoism, above the lie.
