Question: Scientists have established and confirmed the following through many experiments: “When you are close to someone you care about, your breathing and heartbeat can synchronize. This is how connection is established between a baby and his or her relatives, and between those who sing in a choir. When someone you care about is not feeling well, you can just hold their hand, and it will alleviate their suffering.”

Do you believe it?

Answer: There is nothing to believe; it is so.

Question: Is that how it works?

Answer: Yes, that is how it works.

Question: What is the basis of such miracles?

Answer: Why are they miracles?

Comment: Medicine would not work, but I take a man by the hand, and suddenly he begins to synchronize.

My Response: Your inner energies begin to flow into him through tactile contact and regulate him.

Question: How does this work? Does he tune into me? The same heartbeat?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: There is a very important point here, mentioned twice: it is a “loved one.”

My Response: A loved one can be in spirit, in temperament, or in inner connection.

Question: But if he is not close to me, can I work this way with a person?

Answer: No, it is unlikely.

Question: So, closeness really matters?

Answer: Right.

Question: So, if we want to help a person who is ill, do I first need to tune myself to seeing him as someone close to me? Is it possible to tune yourself to feel close to another in order to help him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: How does this system work? How do I tune myself?

Answer: You have to feel his inner world, where he is out of balance, and try to influence him to come back to a state of balance.

Question: So are you putting the main responsibility on me now?

Answer: You are the healthy one. Well then, it is on you to do this. He can only do one thing—comply. This is not easy. But the rest of it is dictated by you.

Comment: That is, if a person asks for help, my job is to feel close to him.

My Response: To support him!

Question: Is this my job? He has to do nothing but ask.

Answer: I would say so.

Question: These are tough times for humanity, difficult. It is hard on the masses. In order to help them and bring them out of this state somehow, what should we do?

Answer: This is a problem. What can we do? To bring them out of this state is hardly for the best.

If they were put into this state, it is for a reason. We need to think how to bring them to the best state, and getting out of the descent they are in may not be the best course of action.

Question: So it is not about giving a warm hug or making someone feel good; rather, it can even be an affront?

Answer: It can be. We cannot understand this yet.

Comment: Both you and the science of Kabbalah keep saying the world is suffering. The science of Kabbalah came to help people in some way.

My Response: Precisely.

Question: To help us get out of suffering or to rise above it?

Answer: It is to rise out of suffering. Kabbalah offers us the possibility to rise by reaching out to each other and supporting each other. We do not need anything else. Only by mutual help can we lift each other up and rise together.

Question: Is this the whole science? What is hard about it?

Answer: Loving your neighbor as yourself.

Question: That is it?

Answer: That is it. Here is where we close the curtain and turn off the lights.

Comment: A person still thinks he can somehow come to this in some way.

My Response: I think not. The more I live, the more I am sure a person cannot come to this on his own.

Question: What should one do to come to “love your neighbor as yourself?”

Answer: A person must at least realize that if not for rapprochement with others, not to mention voluntarily, with one’s eyes closed, and moving toward each other as in the dark—if we do not act this way, we are all doomed.

Question: Should one suppress all resistance to such an attitude toward others? All his ego, everything he lives by?

Answer: Absolutely! That is the only way.

Comment: And the science of Kabbalah seems to say that is when the moment will come, when you rise above suffering.

My Response: Yes.

Question: But will we ever reach this?

Answer: It depends on what kind of suffering we go through. We can do it sooner or later.

Question: Is suffering the main thing here?

Answer: Suffering will force us.

Comment: That is not very optimistic.

My Response: I have never been particularly optimistic.

Comment: You have been even less optimistic about humanity lately.

My Response: I am not optimistic about humanity at all.

Comment: But you always say: “Through suffering.”

My Response: Only!

Comment: So we only understand pain.

My Response: By the stick to happiness

Question: Can we not act before then, before the bullet, before the stick?

Answer: No.

Question: Then what does this science offer?

Answer: It explains the natural laws of nature and man’s role in it. Therefore, we cannot blame nature. Blame yourself.

Question: If I learn it, will it let me act ahead of the stick or a bullet?

Answer: In the measure you want it, it will let you.

Question: So it depends on me now? I have been given a tool and it depends on me. Is it still possible to act before suffering?

Answer: Even right now!

Comment: You have just changed your angle. You said that suffering basically pushes a person.

My Response: Well, if today’s suffering is enough for you already, you can run from it toward correction and achieve the best state.

Question: So the measure is important, to be able to say: “That is enough, I have had it,” right?

Answer: Right.

Comment: Recently an incident occurred in Israel that shocked the whole country. As you know, we have a sacred attitude toward hostages. We want to free them with all our might; the whole nation is behind it. When three hostages managed to escape from captivity, reached our positions and were almost free, they were mistaken for terrorists and killed. Huge shock was felt all over Israel.

The press started digging, discussing, and looking for who to blame. And the mother of one of those murdered boys sent an audio message to the soldiers.

“I am Yotam’s mom. I love you, I want to hug you even from afar. My son’s death is not your fault. Please take care of yourselves! You are doing the right thing in the world. Do not blame yourselves for my son’s death. You must protect yourselves in order to protect all of us. Come visit us at the first opportunity, whenever you want. We want to look you in the eye, hug you, and tell to your face, no matter how hard it is, that at that moment you made the right decision, you did the right thing. No one in our family condemns you or holds a grudge against you.”

My Response: Yes, it is hard!

Question: I cannot imagine where a mother can get such strength. The most precious thing has been taken away, and she is rising above it. Tell me, where does such strength come from?

Answer: From above! There is no other way… It is revealed from above.

Comment: And this happens right when the search for those to blame is underway, when everything is being discussed. Suddenly, this voice sounds. What is going on here? A mother is the only one who unites the people. Can you imagine? Suddenly everyone feels what they are and what she is!

My Response: Yes, it is a great breakthrough.

Question: When you talk about the role of the Jewish people, that we should come to show an example of good connections by rising above hatred, can we say this mother is an example?

Answer: Yes, what she did was great.

Question: Can we call this a call for the unity of the people?

Answer: Sure.

Question: Can it influence us?

Answer: I do not know. We have already been through so much! And you see that after all this, there are demonstrations again, there is a search for whom to blame again.

What has been killing us for thousands of years continues to kill. It is our inability to unite above all our accusations and problems. I do not know how to achieve it.

Question: Still, can we say this is a call for it?

Answer: It is the call. It has to simply be on everyone’s lips all the time. Even if people do not feel it, to just say it. Then they will hear themselves.

Question: What should be said? That we should rise above everything, above all differences…?

Answer: Rise above all the differences and unite, embrace, connect, just stick together.

Comment: No matter what happens between us.

My Response: Yes! Above all!

Comment: This woman, this mother, Iris, could have shut down and blamed everyone.

My Response: You see, in this state there are people who rise above themselves. There are no words to describe her condition and her actions. It is just beyond human strength.

Question: What would you say to her if you met her?

Answer: I do not know. I would bow to her and that is all.

Comment: New York is said to be going through an immigration crisis. People from Venezuela and Africa now live on the streets. They set up tents in Manhattan and sleep on the sidewalks; that’s what they say.

The mayor of New York is seriously proposing placing migrants on cruise ships. There is a demand from the population to close the borders and send migrants back to their countries.

It seems this is what the world has been preparing for. After all, look, millions are being resettled now.

My Response: It depends on where they resettle. They don’t want to resettle in Siberia. They want to move to Manhattan.

Question: Well. A person seeks a better life, naturally. He has heard and seen things and wants to be there. But the trend itself, is it going to stay that way?

Answer: The trend is toward a better place. It will.

Question: Even more so in the future. After all, Americans themselves are immigrants.

Answer: It was back when America was vacant.

Question: So, they feel like the landlords now. They want to live comfortably.

Answer: Yes, they don’t agree to host everyone. They are the owners; how can I force them?

Question: Is it right for a country to close itself off to illegals?

Answer: Yes. And to generally dictate what is and isn’t legal. This is the right of every country.

Question: Please tell me, over time, this state—”my place, my homeland, my anthem, my flag”—where will it go? If I don’t feel good there, will I call it my homeland, or will I look for another homeland?

Answer: It depends on everyone’s judgment, what feelings and values do I base it on.

Question: Whether one feels good or bad?

Answer: Right.

Question: What is the future going to be like? You once said a very interesting thing. You said man has nothing of his own in this world. Will man come to this?

Answer: I don’t know. Today, looking at humanity, I am no longer so optimistic.

Question: Is this an optimistic hope for you when a person comes to the conclusion there is nothing of his?

Answer: Yes. That would be good. But today, everyone thinks the whole world belongs to them. And they are tearing up the world with this.

Question: If we think this world is for me and is all mine, I tear it up, right?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So, you’re saying the feeling of “this is my home, this is my country” is not quite right from the point of view of a spiritual height?

Answer: Of course not.

Question: What should it be, what should a person come to?

Answer: It should be the re-education of all mankind, to make us feel our whole planet is our home, our common home, for everyone. So, we would make a good common home here.

Question: So, it’s not my specific place, but the whole planet?

Answer: The whole planet.

Question: Because I am a guest on this planet, should I come to this or not—that I am a guest?

Answer: You may not be a guest. But you have to make sure this place is suited for all. And so should everyone.

Comment: You didn’t say “for me,” you said “for everyone.”

My Response: For everyone of course.

Question: So, my thought should be “from myself to others?” While so far, it’s been “from me to me?”

Answer: That’s the problem!

Question: From a letter: “You have been saying lately that one should not ask anything from the Creator but only agree with everything that happens because everything is from Him. You say: ‘This is life, this is the world, and I exist in this world to be at peace.’ It turns out that I do not need to ask for anything: not for health, not for peace. Then what is the point of all prayers?”

Answer: Asking the Creator is of course necessary, but first, one must decide. It must relate to my request to Him after I have tried everything, done everything, and have not achieved all that I should have achieved for His sake, then I turn to Him with a request and ask for help.

Question: So my first action is to try anyway?

Answer: Try to give to the Creator. If I can’t do that anymore, then ask Him.

Comment: But this “giving to the Creator” is the whole difficulty here. After all, people are actually asking. They are asking, not what to give Him, but what they ask for.

My Response: And what do they give? They give a prayer, they give nothing. They do not give; they ask!

Question: Is the most important thing to ask the Creator?

Answer: Yes, the Creator exists for the purpose of asking Him.

Question: Very important, very good. And where is your inner awareness that you too can give something?

Answer: There is no such awareness. None. Giving to the Creator is generally against any logic. He created everything, He does everything.

Comment: Then let Him give! This is the logic.

My Response: Well said! “Come on! Where are You?”

Question: Should I ask for those who are close to me, for those who are far away, or for oneself?

Answer: It does not matter for whom to ask, but ask.

Comment: But ask, yes. I have such a relationship with the Creator.

My Response: I ask, He gives, not bad.

Question: Do you agree that this is such a condition?

Answer: I agree that a person is built that way.

Question: You say it yourself that such is nature. And what is wrong here? If this has been embedded in us, what is wrong?

Answer: And what is from me?

Question: What is from me? Some good behavior, the fulfillment of some laws? And it is written in the Torah, in the Bible.

Answer: Very well. So do it.

Comment: I do it, but I do it with the thought that it should be good for me.

My Response: And that is no longer good. This is where the problem lies, that you do what you have to do against your will. Part of it is how much you can reduce this involuntarily list.

Question: So, I would want to reduce it?

Answer: You would want to destroy it. And what you want is that you will have no obligations before the Creator but that the Creator feels you and is ready to fulfill your wishes at every moment.

Comment: Yes. There is a thought. The question is this: “You say you have to agree, it started with this, agreeing with everything that happens.”

My Response: Correct, continue.

Question: To agree with everything that happens and that this world exists to be at peace. These are her main theses. You are not giving up on this?

Answer: No. But what does it mean to balance for it to be at peace?

Question: In other words, what does it mean to balance myself?

Answer: Yes. It is all measured relative to me.

Question: That is, this phrase “at peace”—is there some big secret in it?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And what is peace then?

Answer: Peace is a complete harmony, mutual understanding between man and the Creator.

Question: So I have to come to this? It is not just peace as I understand it in this world.

Answer: No. A complete understanding of each other.

Question: And what does it mean?

Answer: That you are completely at peace.

Question: What do I have to understand?

Answer: What the Creator wants from you and what you want from the Creator and that at the same time you are similar to each other and are ready to do anything for each other.

Question: How do I know what He wants from me in order to come to peace?

Answer: The Creator wants only one thing from you: that you understand Him and what He needs.

Question: What? Please tell me.

Answer: But you have to understand this, you have to reveal it.

Question: Meaning that my life comes down to searching for what He needs?

Answer: Yes, This is the direction in life.

Question: How should I aim myself? “I want to understand what You want” or “I want peace”—these are two directions; which one is correct?

Answer: No. “I want peace,” this is you—an egoist. But “I want the right direction for my thoughts, my actions,” this is already a question.

Question: That is, I want to please You somehow, I want to be in dialogue with You?

Answer: I want to do something nice for You.

Question: And my whole life is to find out what I can do that is pleasing Him? And this is called coming to peace that you are talking about?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: Astrid Lindgren, who wrote the popular Karlsson-on-the-Roof series of children’s books, suddenly said this phrase in a very adult way: “All is vanity of vanities and chasing after the wind. We are all the same. We all were nice kids once. The kids have grown up and will die. What does it matter if your book has been translated into 50 languages?”

Where does this wisdom come from, and why does it come with age: “All that I have written, these 50 languages into which Karlsson has been translated, all this, what is it? This is my life, and I do not even think that this is some kind of end result of my life. I am not holding on to it.”

Does a person come to this only with old age, as King Solomon once did?

My Response: Yes. That is what remains of a person. Everything else already remains in people.

Question: Do I leave with “I did everything I could, and it will remain for people”? Is this the correct formula?

Answer: Yes, it is the correct formula. Because the next generations are going through what you left them.

Question: Let us imagine that this came not to an older person, but to a very young one. Some teenager has already come up with the idea that “everything is vanity of vanities.” Is it good, or is it, in fact, bad?

Answer: It usually comes to people who need to hear it. They somehow process it in themselves.

Question: Does it mean that if it comes to a young man, then it is only outwardly that we see that he is a young man, and maybe his soul is already mature?

Answer: Yes, probably, he already has some preparation for this. Otherwise, he would not have heard this.

Question: If it comes to him at that age, did he come into this world for something?

Answer: Yes.

Inna writes:

Dear Michael Laitman, I am trembling all over when I write to you.

I have been living in Israel for 30 years. My children grew up here. Now the oldest one is in the army. He is in a combat unit at a closed base. The connection with him is very rare. He was just next to me, my child, warm, kind, and loving, and suddenly childhood is over.

This realization that childhood is over is terrible! I have a very strong feeling of emptiness! Here neither faith nor mind helps. The younger children do not help either. It is like a piece of me has been taken out of me. I am afraid for him! I feel like I am sinking into this worry! How do I survive this? How do I hold on?

My Response: You just have to believe. There is nothing else to say here. Believe that everything will be fine, that there is the upper force that arranges the fate of everyone, and it will treat each of us with kindness.

Question: My son, and in general, all our children?

Answer: Yes. It is very difficult to imagine a mother’s feelings. Nothing will calm her down except that he would be near her.

Question: Is that what she should want?

Answer: Yes. He should be near her! Under her heart!

Comment: A lion and a bull are having dinner together. The lion receives a call from his wife: “Are you coming home soon?” “Yes, darling, I will be there soon,” says the lion.

The bull looks at him surprised: “Well, you are a lion, the king of all animals. I answer to my wife: “This is none of your business, I will come when I want.” To which the lion says to him: “Do not compare us, your wife is a cow, and mine is a lioness.”

My Response: This is good!

Question: Is respect for a wife a behavior of a lion?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What do you mean by respecting a wife?

Answer: I mean love, understanding, and mutual connection. All this should be present. And I am demonstrating it all loudly and openly.

Question: Are you not paying attention to the bulls who are saying: “What are you doing? You are a lion, the king of the animals. Why are you talking to her like that?”

Answer: No.

Question: Please tell me what comes first: Am I raising a lioness at home, or does a lioness make me a lion after all? What happens first here?

Answer: I think the opposite is true here, the lioness makes you a lion. But I want to say this: What would happen if you talked to your little daughter or your son like that? You would lower yourself and speak softly. Why not with the wife?

You must always feel that you are above everyone, and therefore you must be below everyone.

Question: This is beautiful! Is this the behavior of a real king?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Then I have a question. How did it happen in the world that kings and dynasties disappeared? Politicians came out instead, and mostly not-so-nice ones.

Answer: They all are corrupt.

Question: How did it happen? What happened to all this: with royal nobility, with such an attitude toward others?

Answer: This respect gradually died out over hundreds of years and gave way to pride.

A king should be a king. It goes by inheritance; it goes by ancestral transmission. But then it all changed to sale and purchase.

Question: When was this gene cut off? What happened there? Where did the change take place? If we speak from above. You say that respectful attitude, nobility, is the state of the upper.

Answer: I think it was somewhere in Ancient Rome when they began to sell, buy, and poison each other, then everything went downhill. Before that, the image of the king was practically God’s vicar on earth.

Question: You keep saying that one way or another we must come to the equivalence with the Creator. Is this what is called returning to nobility?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is it possible? You just said that it was all falling.

Answer: It is impossible.

Question: Then how to return to nobility?

Answer: This nobility will be replaced by the people. When the people have proclaimed themselves the viceroy of the Creator on earth in fulfilling all the upper laws, then they raise themselves to the level of the Creator and peace will be restored on earth.

Question: What should people become in order to reach this state?

Answer: They should exist in love for each other. This is the only condition. The mass should be as one.

Question: Do you actually see this? Do you not see the kings, do you see the people as one whole?

Answer: Yes, it is all gone.

Question: So, when we say “as one heart” or “as one” do you mean this?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Will it happen?

Answer: I may be wrong; I do not know. But, in principle, according to my reasoning, this is how it should be.

Question: There is a tale of an old  blind man who was sitting in the shadow of the temple when a passerby asked him: “Forgive me for my question, but how did you become blind?” “I have been blind since birth,” answered the old man. “What do you do?” asked the passerby. “I am an astronomer,” he answered. “I watch the sun and stars.” “But you can’t see them!”, the passerby exclaimed in surprise. “I see,” answered the old man. “They are here.” And he put his hand to his chest.

Can one live like this: blind, but not blind, and as a result you are sighted; deaf and at the same time hear music, and can be a musician? Can a person not feel his inferiority?

Answer: Of course. Because all our senses, in principle, come from our egoism. If we did not have these senses, we could be completely different.

Question: If this sense organ is cut off from me, let’s say I’m blind like this old man who says, “I’m an astronomer,” then how can I not feel that I’m blind?

Answer: Look within yourself.

Question: What will I see there?

Answer: You will see everything: the sky, the stars, everything! Within yourself.

Question: And if, say, I am deaf, can I be a musician? Will I hear music?

Answer: Whatever you want. You don’t need your five senses. You don’t need your body! If we didn’t have a body, we would be so happy and perfect.

Question: So, in this case I don’t feel any inferiority if I kind of live with myself?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Please teach me. How to live like this? How to achieve this? It sounds so good.

Answer: This cannot be explained.

Question: Then the last question about the sage. He said, “I am an astronomer even though I am blind.” Why do we freeze when looking at the stars?

Answer: Because this is the opposite part of the universe in which we exist. And it immediately tells us about its infinity and our finiteness.

Question: So, I see infinity in this? And can it be found in oneself, like he found?

Answer: It can be found within yourself. You can connect with these stars. You can feel how they exist.

Question: And with this I seem to be moving into this state of infinity?

Answer: Yes.

‘Tis but a day we sojourn here below,
And all the gain we get is grief and woe,
Then, leaving our life’s riddles all unsolved,
And burdened with regrets, we have to go. …

O unenlightened race of humankind,
Ye are a nothing, built on empty wind!
Yea, a mere nothing, hovering in the abyss,
A void before you, and a void behind!
(Omar Khayyam, The Rubaiyat, #3 and #424).

Question: Omar Khayyam eventually came to the understanding of the meaning of life, that everything he enjoyed and lived for is nothing. Is this a correct conclusion?

Answer: In general, yes. Of course. He simply recalls how much effort he put into it and how he aspired. And in the end, it turned out that all those efforts were not worth it. This is evident from all his works.

Question: This is if we talk about him. But if we talk about any person? If a person suddenly realizes that all this is nothing, then, in my opinion, it’s a big tragedy. Or not?

Answer: No, he should already be prepared in advance that everything has a beginning and an end, and everything is actually nothing. And he calmly agrees with this.

Question: And what then is “something”?

Answer: To live life peacefully among friends, and together with them to understand and realize that the meaning of life lies in acceptance.

Question: So if I accept what is given to me, can it bring joy and peace?

Answer: Satisfaction.

Question: And if I want more, if I want something greater?

Answer: “Wanting more” is not good.

Question: In general, what is the essence of human life? If that is what we’ve come to, it surely wouldn’t be just bleep and gone, bleep and gone?

Answer: It is to understand that it is very limited; one must reconcile with it, and not demand more for oneself.  And it is to try to help others and accept help from them, and thus exist.

Question: Is there joy and happiness in this, and all the components?

Answer: Ultimately, yes. We see that you can’t expect anything more from anything else.

Question: Where is the upper force here? Where is the Creator in all this?

Answer: In the satisfaction of a person precisely from these comforts that he can acquire in his measured, limited existence.

Question: So, in a way, I am saying that everything given to me by You is all good? And that’s it, this is my joy? And is the Creator here?

Answer: That is where the Creator is, in the fact that you are agreeing with Him and that you don’t ask for more.

Do Wars Raise Questions about the Meaning of Life?

Filed under: Meaning Of Life, News - No Comments →

Comment: Our reservist soldiers are fighting in Gaza. They are already fathers, businessmen, have life experience, and are established guys; they are already mature, you could say. They fight shoulder to shoulder and live in military unity, for them the words “mutual guarantee” are no longer just words, but actions.

They want unity in everything and everywhere. It is good for them to live like this. But they see that the country is again in strife, disputes, and criticism. Political campaigns have started again, and they feel bad about this.

Now short videos have started to spontaneously arrive from the battlefield; there are already thousands, maybe tens of thousands of them. The soldiers speak in front of the camera and say: “I, so-and-so, have been fighting since October 7^th. To all commentators, politicians, everyone: If you have nothing to say about our unity, close your mouth!”

The question is this: What do we have to do for them today?

My Response: Support them with our desire for unity so that we do not harm, but only help each other.

Question: Should we then really close our mouths if it suddenly says something against this?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is it possible to do this, at least in a time of war? Are we really that corrupted?

Answer: I think that at least for the duration of the war, we can do this, artificially. Then it will become a norm.

Question: Can a person say to himself: “I will keep quiet. I am full of criticism, but I am keeping quiet”?

Answer: I think he can.

Question: What is important here? To have some kind of examples or what? How should one feel about this?

Answer: It should just be such a nationwide appeal, to the whole nation. We must understand that otherwise we will not survive.

Question: Do you mean to keep one’s mouth shut if a person wants to criticize something or say something against unity?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Do you like this appeal: “Shut your mouth”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is it a correct assumption that if we do not close our mouths, if we are in arguments, if we are even in hatred, then we betray them?

Answer: We are not only betraying them, we are betraying ourselves and the country, and in general we are leading everything to destruction.

Question: Are we betraying our children too? That is, God forbid, their death, is it on our conscience? Can you say that?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What should a politician, who warned that this would happen, knew what to do earlier, and turned out to be right, do? Today he does not hold back, he talks about the fact that he was right that they did not listen to him. What should he do?

Answer: It is not necessary to say that he was right, so as not to arouse contradictory opinions and reviews against him. We just need to call more and more for unification.

Question: What if it burns in him? He was right!

Answer: It does not matter. He must put peace, connection, and unity above the fact that he burns.

Comment: For the sake of all these guys in order to win.

My Response: Yes! Of course.

Comment: But he is not just a man, he is a great politician.

My Response: It does not matter. No matter what kind of politician he is, and no matter what he is right about, we know that all this is relative.

He should bend himself and act only for the sake of peace and unification.
