Man Must Be Forbidden from Suffering

538Question: By the road stood the trunk of a dried-up tree. At night, a thief passed by and got scared; he thought it was a policeman. A young man in love walked by, and his heart joyfully skipped a beat; he mistook the tree for his beloved. A frightened child, influenced by scary stories, saw the tree, and burst into tears. But in all cases, the tree was just a tree. “We see the world as we are.”

Could you please tell me, what does it say about us if today we see the world in wars, suffering, troubles, and so on?

Answer: We are a reflection of the world. Essentially if we perceive the world as full of suffering, it means that we ourselves are fundamentally like that. And deep inside we don’t actually wish to see the world differently. We, in fact, want it to stay that way. We cannot rise above what we feel. That is the problem.

Question: So do we want this suffering?

Answer: Yes, we are accustomed to it; we dwell in it. And that’s the problem.

Comment: But that’s essentially anti-life.

My Response: That’s where we are.

Question: So we’re not really living?

Answer: We are not living.

Comment: It’s a complete turnaround: that we want suffering.

My Response: Our entire history, the history of all humanity, is just a continuous flow of suffering.

Comment: But we think we were set up for this. And even in the Torah, it is said: “Go and suffer.”

Essentially, it is said that you will suffer. So, we are not responsible, we are not carrying it with us, we were put in this position. And you’re saying it lives within us.

My Response: I believe it is our fault. We don’t wish to rise above this degree. We don’t want to!

Question: So the whole task is to want?

Answer: To want to overturn all of this, to break free from this tangle of suffering.

Question: What does a person need to do for that?

Answer: A person needs to stop hating others, to bring oneself closer to others. And then everything will change.

Question: Does he need to understand that he wants to suffer, wants suffering?

Answer: Yes, I think we just need to forbid ourselves to suffer because by suffering, you provoke suffering in the world. Wake up and sing!

Question: So if you’re in pain, wake up and sing. Like that song: “Wake up and sing, try in life at least once…”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Now, here’s a question. Later, all of them – the child, the lover, the thief – found out in the end that it was just a tree, what they were afraid of. What do we need to find out? What is in front of us?

Answer: The Creator! Nothing else! And He constantly creates these scenes, visions for us to be afraid and gradually come to an understanding of these mirages.

Question: So, my desire for suffering should turn into what is in front of me…?

Answer: Mirage.

Question: And I don’t have the right to suffer, you say?

Answer: No! As soon as you start to suffer, this mirage turns into materialistic actions, scenes.

Comment: Wars and so on.

My Response: Yes, but if you don’t allow suffering, even if it seems like it is there, then everything is corrected.

Question: And then I slowly start to see the Creator?

Answer: Yes.

Question: When you say “Creator,” what do you mean? What is in front of me, in front of us?

Answer: The force that governs the world, us, and that wants to lead us to the realization of the correct state of nature and ourselves.

Question: What is that state?

Answer: Joy!

How Plato Turned Kabbalah into Philosophy

272Question: In 414 BCE, the prophet Jeremiah, one of the four greatest prophets and Kabbalists, lived in northern Egypt during the time of the First Temple. During this period, a young Greek philosopher named Aristokl, later called Plato, studied with him.

Plato recalls: “I was with Jeremiah in Egypt, and initially I was mocking him and his words, and in the end, once I become accustomed to speaking with him and to watch his actions carefully, I saw that his words were words of the living God. Then, I said in my heart, and I established, that he was a sage and prophet.”

The question is: Does this mean that the wisdom of the prophet and Kabbalist was open at that time to other nations?

Answer: Yes, because they were also at an appropriate spiritual level. It means that Plato practically understood who he was dealing with; therefore, this wisdom could be revealed to him.

Question: Why was the wisdom later closed off? Why was Kabbalah closed to the world?

Answer: There are periods in the development of humanity. Initially, it was simple, and there were closer ties between nations without significant differences. But then, alienation between them occurred more and more. Each went their own way, and eventually, there was such a separation that continues to develop to this day.

Question: Where did this prohibition come from? Who prohibited spreading Kabbalah to the nations of the world?

Answer: It was a consequence of the destruction of the Temple, that is, a fall from the level of Temple.

Question: Did the Kabbalists themselves prohibit all of this?

Answer: Yes, of course.

Question: Can we say that the world was not ready to receive this knowledge?

Answer: Yes, naturally, if it had received it at that time, it would not have been able to use it correctly.

Question: How did the wisdom that Plato received from Jeremiah later turn into Greek philosophy with its multitude of gods?

Answer: They took from it what they could, what they could understand, and somehow absorbed it into themselves, into their society, into their system, and that was it. And then…

Comment: But Plato lived by this. He even felt that it was like the words of the living God.

My Response: It does not matter.

Question: Where does it disappear afterward and turn into philosophy?

Answer: It dissolved. Not immediately, but gradually.

Question: But the fact that it was Plato, and everyone talks about him and knows about him, is there still some merit to Jeremiah, his Kabbalist teacher?

Answer: Of course! Everything that Plato later spoke about, he partly received from Jeremiah.

Comment: So, we can say that this high Greek philosophy that everyone talks about is a consequence…

My Response: …of meeting with Kabbalists.

Comment: You are often accused of spreading Kabbalah to the world, to everyone. So, this prohibition still applies to many people today.

My Response: Let those many remain silent.

Question: Can you say what happened? What kind of revolution is this?

Answer: Kabbalah was always spread in waves. There were times when it could be taught, spoken about, and written. And there were times when it was shrinking and concealing itself more and more.

Question: What happened with the time that suddenly started to demand Kabbalah? What kind of time is this?

Answer: It is because we live in an egoistic world and egoism within us constantly develops. Therefore, the Kabbalists, seeing that they had no other method, means, or weapons against the egoism that was developing so much in society, decided to take Kabbalah out of its hidden places and show it to the whole world.

Question: Did your teacher know that you would follow this path of dissemination?

Answer: Of course, he knew. What did he write? And what did his father, Baal HaSulam, write?

Comment: His father even wrote more.

My Response: Yes, so it was natural that those who consider themselves followers of Baal HaSulam and Rabash, and not only them but also Rambam, Ramchal, and Baal Shem Tov, must disseminate Kabbalah.

Question: Does it mean that the time demands Kabbalah?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What problems can Kabbalah solve today?

Answer: It can strengthen people in their quest to find out who we are, what our purpose is, and what we can do to bring the world to peace.

This is necessary for every person. What is the meaning of life? Kabbalah answers all questions. I believe that only its revelation can give people the key to the upper world.

Question: There are many different practices, yet you always highlight Kabbalah. You say, “This is special, this is a wisdom.” You always somehow separate it from all these practices and religions. Why?

Answer: Because, in principle, there are no practices in Kabbalah, only the heart’s desire of a person for a connection with the Creator.

I Am Not in Favor of Suffering

95It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul.
(William Ernst Henley, Invictus)

Question: This poet’s life and destiny were very hard! At the age of 12, he developed tuberculosis of the bone, and his leg had to be amputated, and later, they had to amputate the other one. He was always sick. But at the same time, he was always a fighter. It is said that Robert Louis Stevenson made the pirate Long John Silver in Treasure Island in his image. That is how he was.

Why does this desire to fight fate, to fight the Creator, live in us and lead us through life?

Answer: Yes, there are such special souls, such special people. What can you do? We must try to fight. And we see from historical examples it still gives some results. But it depends on the person and on how he develops.

Question: Is it the character one is born with? Is it already embedded in him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Why do we so admire such a struggle?

Answer: I would not say I admire it, but I am impressed that there are people born with such set functions and such set qualities.

Question: Are we talking about a struggle with fate and with God?

Answer: Yes, with fate.

Question: But he does not agree with his fate, he fights it. Brumel and Vlasov were like that. After terrible illnesses, they got back on their feet. On their own. This is called “You make yourself.” Is it admirable?

Answer: Yes.

Question: When the Creator tests one’s resolve, what does He want from us? What is this done for?

Answer: All this is added to the piggy bank of the common soul of all mankind, and such people contribute a lot to humanity with their fate.

Question: What do they make humanity understand?

Answer: They bring humanity closer to the Creator.

Question: Despite the fact they are like…

Answer: It does not matter what they feel about it. I am not saying they are some kind of saints. They simply raise the level of man higher toward the Creator.

But I am not in favor of suffering. There are many similar examples where people choose suffering and believe this is how they rise. This is not true.

Question: Then the natural question in this and other cases is how not to suffer?

Answer: If you clearly understand, and you have such conditions when your suffering makes it easier for someone to correct, move forward, then yes. But if it is only in your fantasies…

Question: Now you have raised the bar. You said, “If my suffering makes someone’s life, fate, or soul easier”; you didn’t say “my,” but “someone’s.”

Answer: For others, of course.

Question: That is high! That is, if they are an example for someone, and are doing this for the sake of such an example, to show an example, of what can you try?

That is, if they are an example for someone, and I do this for the sake of such an example, to show an example, what is possible, try?

Answer: Yes.

Question: This is exalted! You keep talking about annulling before fate, before the Creator’s decision. When you say that, what do you mean?

Answer: I mean, I am consciously agreeing with what I see before me.

Question: Even with your illnesses and so on?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Meaning, it comes from You, and it is necessary for me. Like this?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What happens to my pain, to my suffering?

Answer: When we agree with this, it creates peace within us. A person agrees with his fate, with the Creator, he agrees to accept everything coming to him according to his fate.

Question: Is it like an anesthetic?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this what you call “annulment”?

Answer: Right.

Question: And must we come to this?

Answer: I believe so, yes.

Israel Will Be the Source of Peace

933Question: Once upon a time, you said Israel would eventually become the safest place on Earth. The clip of you saying this has millions of views.  Would you retract those words today?

Answer: No.

Comment: You said that Israel would indeed become the safest place on Earth.

My Response: Yes, that is correct.

Question: What is your basis for saying this?

Answer: I base it on the fact that the same Creator will compel us to follow His instructions. And then He will naturally make this place a source of peace.

Question: So it will be attractive, desirable, and so on?

Answer: Yes, this force will emanate from us into the world, and all the nations will turn and come to us.

When Will the War in Israel End?

963.2Question: This question is difficult to answer. When do you think the war will end?

Answer: When we realize that there is no other way out. Only if we love, support, open our hearts to each other, provide whatever help is needed, and are ready for this to be the base law of human life, then it will happen.

Question: What does it depend on?

Answer: Again, it depends only on us. Only we can shorten all these times and bring nations closer together, just us.

Question: And how do we drive this importance into the heart and into the mind, that this is what we must come to? Besides the fact that we are formatted from above.

Answer: Yes, we are being squeezed from all sides, but we only need to develop this and explain to the world that the right state of humanity is “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

How Can I Convince Myself Not to Overeat?

546.04Rani writes:

Dear Michael Laitman,

You always talk in your programs about harmony and balance. But my whole family is completely out of balance. And it is not just my family. Today children suffer from overeating and obesity from childhood. They grow up, and the race for weight loss begins, like with my wife. All sorts of starvation programs to lose weight, pills, counting calories. I want to ask you: maybe in order for a person to have a balanced diet, they must first achieve internal balance?

My Response: Of course, we see that when a person starts to get nervous, they start eating more, and so on.

Question: Do we just need inner balance and not any weight loss programs or calorie counts?

Answer: None of that.

Question: Then the main question is how to achieve this. You could win the Nobel Prize right now if you could advise humanity on how to lose weight. How can one come into balance with oneself, into equilibrium?

Answer: Everything must be related to the Creator, only to Him. We need to understand that everything comes from Him, and everything is for us to realize that we are constantly correcting our nature that is initially completely opposite to the Creator, and that we are moving toward Him, getting closer to Him.

If we do not come closer to Him, we will still be approaching Him, and things will get worse for us. But if we know that we must come closer to the Creator, then we will act wisely, and our approach to Him will be benevolent.

Comment: I personally feel that here lies the entire truth. That is, while I am fixated on the body, I will not advance anywhere; I will be fixated on it. But I need to focus on the Creator.

My Response: On the Creator.

Question: At what point does balance happen? How many attempts do I need until suddenly at some point there is peace?

Answer: You need to set yourself in advance that search for balance is my life.

Question: Usually we fail all starvation programs and start gaining weight again. Are you saying that even if we fail, but keep advancing toward the Creator, this search for balance will give us…?

Answer: It will give us a happy life.

Question: And we will not need any programs, none of that?

Answer: Nothing. I should reach a state where I eat to exist and maintain balance.

Question: Not more?

Answer: No more. What for?

Question: When will I start living like that?

Answer: When you understand that it is precisely in balance, in equilibrium that you find the connection with the Creator. He is gradually revealed in you, and you feel it.

Question: Does one way or another everything come down to this?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Can we completely reduce all our questions to this?

Answer: Absolutely everything!

How Do You Ignore Barking Dogs?

115You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks (Winston Churchill).

Question: Overlook the haters, that is, the barking dogs, did Churchill say this correctly?

Answer: In general, yes. Yet, it is impossible not to react to this. But it is possible to respond correctly.

Question: What does the correct reaction mean?

Answer: Starting with the fact that you do not pay attention. That is, the reaction is internal, externally it is not.

Question: It is clear. What does this do to barking dogs? What does this do to haters?

Answer: It deflates them.

Question: They begin to deflate by not seeing the reaction. Could this really cool them down?

Answer: Absolutely! There is no greater means to cool down an enemy, a hater, than such an attitude toward him.

Question: Previously, they would challenge each other to a duel.

Answer: They were small, prideful people.

Question: So, you think that this is just the ego? Pride?

Answer: Certainly.

Question: Is, in reality, the big one passes by and does not pay attention?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Does it burn inside?

Answer: No, I think it does not even burn. To him, it feels like the right thing.

Question: The question remains: Do we adjust our path not according to the haters but according to criticism, or not? What do you think?

Answer: It is not necessary. If this criticism ties you even more tightly to your roots, then good. This is what needs to be checked!

Question: That is, I have a path that I follow, and if criticism binds me even more to this path, then…?

Answer: Then follow.

Question: Afterward, can you treat critics with warmth and kindness?

Answer: Certainly. It comes from the Creator.

Question: How did your teacher deal with haters? I know there were haters, and there were a lot of them.

Answer: There were many haters, but I tried not to talk about it with him and not communicate with them. And, in principle, we tried not to mention all this between us. Why, in vain, incite some bad feelings in a person?

Question: But there were haters, right?

Answer: Yes! A lot.

Question: And some real ones?

Answer: Yes, from so many sides. Both from the Torah, the study of the Ten Sefirot, the students, and other teachings.

Question: As you say, this tied him even more to the path. What was your impression?

Answer: This straightened him up.

Question: So, can this be taken as advice, if you are criticized, let’s not say harshly “they hate,” but they criticize and try to lead you astray, and then you need to cling to this path even more?

Answer: I cannot tell each and everyone and why.

Question: But what would you say to everyone when they are being pressed from all sides? How can one resist?

Answer: If you are being pressed from all sides, it is best to switch off, step aside, and look at yourself and others from outside. And you will see how right or wrong you can be. Then, make a decision.

There Is No Need to Be Afraid of Death

626Comment: A doula is a woman who helps with childbirth. These are not medical personnel. She helps, advises the the woman how to position herself, and massages women who are about to give birth.

My Response: A midwife.

Question: But she doesn’t deliver babies, she helps. Advises what to think about, helps make it warm, good, and comfortable for a woman giving birth.

And there is a doula of death. I even found such a website for one whose name is Varya. This Varya helps to go through dying exactly the way the person himself wants it is what is written there. It also says she supports conversations with the dying, prepares a step-by-step individual scenario of dying, takes care of household chores: watering flowers, walking dogs, and so on so that the person who leaves is calm. One can write a letter to a future child and so on. Everything has its price: 50 euros, 100 euros, 200 euros. Everything is priced on that website.

Do you think a person needs such a doula of death?

Answer: If the person who leaves likes it and wants to, if necessary, then it is necessary.

Comment: After all, a person wants to leave like this, calmly.

My Response: I don’t know. I imagine it differently.

Question: How?

Answer: Just as if to fall asleep and that’s it.

Comment: This is an ideal option.

My Response: No, but not in such a way that you don’t feel anything at all.

Question: That is, it’s like falling asleep. That’s how you fell asleep and that’s it?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And you don’t need anyone to accompany you, nothing?

Answer: No.

Question: Can we say that the Creator accompanies you all the time?

Answer: Naturally, this is so.

Question: So my conversation is going on with Him all the time anyway, all the time?

Answer: Yes.

Question: I remember now that I had good, leading producers teaching in my higher courses. They were philosophers, smart and very famous. I will not mention the name of the teacher. I was with him in his last days. And I remember how he resisted and screamed: “I don’t want to die!”

Answer: Remarkable.

Question: Shouted! I won’t give his last name, everyone knows him. He has children and relatives. Don’t want to. But this resistance was terrible. It’s scary! It was given to him, he was making a movie and suddenly he left.

I would like to ask how does one agree with this? How can someone not reach these states?

Answer: I don’t know. It seems to me that it’s not such a big problem to lose your life.

Question: How can I calm myself down?

Answer: In fact, there is nothing good in this life. Let’s see, what’s in there?

Question: So, you are suggesting such a switch, a journey to another world? It’s better than this one anyway.

Answer: Yes, of course!

Question: Does this thought accompany a person?

Answer: Yes, what are you losing?! None of what you had is worth worrying about.

Question: How about relatives, close ones, friends, warmth, work?

Answer: They have their own lives.

Question: Is that how a person leaves?

Answer: Yes.

Question: When you talk like that, can you say that the Creator is with you at this moment?

Answer: Of course, in such cases, the person is with the Creator, who takes it away.

Question: And this is the most important thing, to agree?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What does it mean that everyone has their own hour? What does this phrase mean? Everyone has their own hour?

Answer: A time to be born and a time to die. So don’t worry too much.

Question: But is it meant for a person to do something during this short journey? It’s laid down to him, right? Is it measured out to him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So he shouldn’t regret anything, since he went on this path the way he did?

Answer: Yes. I am calm about it.

Comment: Still, about this doula, it means that there is a requirement. The prices there are good too. That is, there is a requirement for a person to leave like this, calmly, so that someone is with you, and someone holds your hand, and you calmly leave. A person is afraid of this step, still.

My Response: I can’t imagine that I’m afraid of death. No.

The Divine Idea of Life

244We are not a country, not a state, not a people, we are an idea! A country can be destroyed, a state can be conquered, a people can be slaughtered, but the idea? The idea cannot be killed! (Sholom Aleichem)

Question: Does this idea live in us? What idea is he talking about?

Answer: In principle, there is no idea. There is no idea in itself. In the end, a man creates it in himself anyway. A person creates within himself an idea of why to exist, in the name of what to exist, and so on. And for this reason he exists.

Question: But there is an idea that people followed. The man ignited the people and led them. I mean Abraham. Is there still an idea of the people? Sholom Aleichem hints at this.

Answer: That idea is divine. It is not something created by man. It is perceived from the Creator. And they ignited the people and carried them within themselves.

Question: Does this idea live in us or does it not?

Answer: I do not see this.

Question: And still, the great Kabbalist Baal HaSulam writes that we have this grain within us, but it is covered by tons of egoism.

Answer: Maybe, somewhere within us, yes.

Question: What must be done to make this grain break through this concrete?

Answer: This requires a passionate desire to discover the meaning of life. And this seems so difficult to us and even insurmountable with our efforts that we reject it in advance. We say, “Ah, I will live as I do now. This is what I have, and there is nothing else.” A man agrees to such a wretched, miserable existence. And so does the whole people, and the whole world, until the Creator awakens us from above.

Question: So the only hope is in the upper one?

Answer: The only one!

Question: This concrete layer already exists above the world. And the only hope is for the upper one?

Answer: Let us hope for this!

Question: Let us hope for this. But should we at least make some kind of a move? I do not know what; take a sledgehammer, start hammering this concrete, do something, hit your head.

Answer: No, by doing this you demonstrate your disagreement with the plan of creation.

Question: So I must accept the current state and sit tight?

Answer: Yes, you must accept it.

A Declaration of Love

627.1Comment: We have not had such a prolonged war in a while. All this time, the guys have been out there on the front lines. It seems like it is going to continue for a long time.

A father of four children, who has not been home once since the war started, writes to his wife: “My beloved, my dear, I am here fighting for our home, for our people. But I feel the immense war you are going through, taking on everything: caring for the home, for the children, for me. Where do you get such strength? How did I not feel this before? Thank you for the peace you give me, for the strength that emanates from you. I know it is easier for me; I am here, surrounded by friends. All the care is on you there, you are the hero! For you: our wives, sisters, and mothers, we are ready to fight. Thank you, my love! I miss you so much.”

What would you say about such wives?

My Response: There are no words for it!

Question: Can we say that this is a feat?

Answer: Yes, definitely.

Question: How do they hold up as they are thinking about their husbands, fearing that suddenly—God forbid—someone will knock on the door and bring some news about them? Constantly caring for the children and not showing how hard it is for her. After all, a woman wants to be weak, but she does not have the opportunity to be weak. How?

Answer: The Creator gives a person what he needs. We see examples of this. Women are strong. They bear their share with dignity.

Question: So, even without thinking about the Creator, does she have a constant prayer?

Answer: Yes, it is constantly in her heart.

Question: Does that mean that there is a constant response?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Does that mean that He supports them all the time?

Answer: The Creator supports such people and helps and encourages them. Precisely the Creator.

Question: Does a person feel that this is from the Creator, or is it not necessary at all? Like this woman, the wife.

Answer: I think they feel it.

Question: Can a husband’s letter to his wife be called a declaration of love?

Answer: It can. In such cases you can speak openly and speak from heart to heart. Does he have four children?

Comment: Yes, he has four children. Yet, he writes to his wife, he feels that she is the stronghold and the foundation of everything.

My Response: What can you do? Of course. A woman is a home, as it is said in the Torah.

Question: Can we say that wives fight no less than husbands in this war?

Answer: Of course! Even more. After all, in action they cannot do anything, only in desires.

Question: Who do you think has it harder?

Answer: The woman, because she worries about the family, the home, the husband, about everyone. She generally is considered the center of the family in such a state.

Question: So her thoughts never disappear, she has no rest?

Answer: No! It is completely out of the question. Within her, she is always with the children and her husband who is far away, and she is constantly in these thoughts.

Question: In principle, what do husbands mean to such wives? Who are they?

Answer: They are their support. They are like the center of the world, the center of the universe. And for him, the wife is the center of life.

Question: Why does this happen only in such situations? He even writes here: “I did not even know you were so strong. I did not even know you were like this.” Why is this revealed only in such situations? Why can we not see this during peace?

Answer: Because they need each other. In ordinary life everything gets somewhat obscured. These states have a very positive impact on a couple, on husband and wife.

Question: Can you say that this war brings them together?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Does it bring together such families?

Answer: There are those who might drift apart from each other, but generally, it leads to coming together, to something serious and real, and makes them understand who they are to each other.
