Before taking any action, let’s first understand the world we exist in. Then, we can create a new organ of perception.

Kabbalah explains: The world is a HOLOGRAM . A structure of 10 Sefirot, where each Sefira consists of another ten and so on.

You can either study the world the way it is or the way we perceive it. The world is the result of our perception!

Scientists: the universe is a hologram. Kabbalah: the universe is inside our mind. Rise above your mind and discover one upper light.

Our selfish nature seizes control over everything. It creates media that is dependent on its owners, and thus enslaves the masses.

The media is in the hands of the elite, and there will be a fight over it. Revealing the evil in it will trigger the correction.

Miracles Don’t Happen

Laitman_632_2Question: Can a Kabbalist insert power and pass it through a corporeal object?

Answer: There are no miracles in nature. All the actions that Kabbalists perform, which we read about in Kabbalah books, are only actions in the upper world. In our world there are only physical laws that operate and nothing else! Therefore, don’t invent any miracles, and there have never been any.

Don’t translate the spiritual language into corporeal language according to concepts that you seemingly understand, like bread and water, for example, are the attribute of Hassadim. It is better to immediately begin to study how to penetrate the right structure of the language, which is only about your attributes, about bestowal, receiving, and how to be more connected with each other in order to discover what the book says.

Not one word in the sources refers to our world, because this world is all that we feel in our ego! If the ego did not exist, we wouldn’t feel this world. When we correct ourselves, we begin to feel our world in attributes, actions, and mutual altruistic relations, and then we also easily understand the Kabbalsitic language. Our world and its physical laws exist as long as we are in our egoism. When there is no ego, this world will disappear.

The only miracle in our world is when a person ceases to care about himself and begins to care about others.

My Thoughts On Twitter, 1/30/17

Nature is already an interconnected system at the still, vegetative, and animate levels. Humans have to become consciously interconnected.

In the US, the revolution is bloodless. The EU should consider a general “Exit” to avoid war. Otherwise, even extreme far-right will ensue.

As society begins its correction, the method of correction—Kabbalah—is revealed, shedding light on all aspects of society.

Revealing the world does not mean overcoming cosmic distances or digging into matter but delving deeper into our consciousness .

Humanity has evolved to realize that it is trapped by the ego and then to come out of it is either by suffering or by the light. The choice is ours.

We live in selfish, egoistic interests that limit our perception. By breaking free from them, we discover the eternal, upper world.

Why Is The World Round?

laitman_746_01Question: Why are the planets and the stars round and not in the shape of a square or a triangle?

Answer: They are not totally round but close to being round because the whole universe aspires to roundness as it is an ideal mathematical and physical form in which we observe a balance between all the attributes.

On the whole, a physical form doesn’t necessarily have to be circular because its shape can be other properties.

Nature, which is the whole structure of Adam (Man), that is, a system that resembles the Creator (“Adam” in Hebrew is from the word “Domeh” – to resemble, the Creator), is in itself an absolutely perfect sphere because only in that case is the balance between all the forces revealed in our world, in our coordinates.

The Eternal Calendar

Laitman_045Kabbalistic books written hundreds of years ago and even thousands of years ago present tables of mutual positions of the sun, the moon, the Earth, Venus, Mars and the other planets. The Hebrew calendar, which has been used for many generations, is based on this information and does not need any corrections.

All the holidays, special astronomical dates, the beginning of the month, the eclipse of the moon, the eclipse of the sun, and the positions of the planets in relation to each other, etc. are determined and take place on the same day of the year. What is more, this was determined many years in advance.

I don’t know the exact date that the Hebrew calendar was created, but I believe that it is thousands of years old and is still working like clockwork today. It indicates precisely when, in which year, a certain holiday will be celebrated and a certain event, for example, will occur only on a Sunday or a Wednesday.

Can this calendar be changed? No, Kabbalists understand so well how the upper forces that manage our planet’s work that they created this calendar as the eternal calendar. Its uniqueness is that it is related both to the sun and the moon.

The Muslim calendar is focused only on the moon, and the Christian calendar is focused only on the sun. The Hebrew calendar is focused on both the sun and the moon because according to the wisdom of Kabbalah every motion, the whole philosophy of life, is arranged according to the middle line.

In This Contrived And Illusory World…

Laitman_022Question: The Big Bang and the big black hole that the entire universe revolves around perfectly complement each other and are the embodiment of the law of the conservation of energy. Infinity, gravity, and entropy are in constant balance, and thanks to the flow of energy from one form to another, an infinite number of universes appear.

The cosmic microwave background radiation reminds us of a gene, a Reshimo, which contains all of the information of all of the states of the universes. This history will never end because the energy does not disappear. A series of infinite explosions and compressions will continue to occur, and therefore, will follow the development of the desire from the inanimate level to the level of the speaking.

This makes sense since everything was created in resemblance to spirituality, which is eternal. It turns out that the Creator created the created being, but from a slightly different quality because he contains all of the previous information inside him.

We can consider it to be infinite abundance or infinite darkness, but does that mean that this entire game was created as a goal in itself (to sustain life itself), and when will this end?

Answer: When we ascend above the ego, we ascend above time, motion, and space, and we realize that we have existed in a contrived and illusory world.

New Life 798 – Differences In Sensory Perception

New Life 798 – Differences In Sensory Perception
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

There are differences in people’s perception of reality, as there are differences in tastes.

The five senses are characterized by the distance from what is perceived: sight is the sense that perceives from the greatest distance and touch is the sense that perceives from the closest distance since it involves contact.

There are waves beyond what our senses perceive. We are surrounded by infinite Light, by unlimited waves, but we perceive through the limitations of our senses.

Our instruments of perception are operated by our desire, by a sense of lack. We can develop our desire to unlimited dimensions by changing our attitude to other people. If reality becomes more important to me than myself, my perception expands, just like a mother who feels her baby. What we feel through our senses operates on our desire, and this is how an experience is created.

It is impossible to penetrate another person and to feel how he actually perceives reality since our internal nature is concealed from us; a person doesn’t even really know himself. No matter how much we try, we have no access to a person’s internality; we don’t know how and there is nothing to investigate about ourselves. We have to study the upper nature, the upper operating system, and to be like it.

Even if we could assemble all the senses of all the animals together in ourselves, we would end up with nothing more than an elaborate animal.

The method of developing our perception is called the wisdom of Kabbalah; it teaches us how to perceive unlimited waves. To perceive the unlimited reality, a person needs a new receiver to receive what is external to him, not what is inside him.

The End Of Creation

Unity, The Way To A Good FutureQuestion: What is the meaning of the end of creation and what will happen to the physical world then?

Answer: At the end of creation people will connect together more and more.

We begin to feel the upper world more fully, until we reach a state where it holds all of our desire within us, and the same tiny part of desire that feels the present distorted reality, simply disappears and moves to grasp the true world that exists outside of us, not inside of us.

“This world” apparently disappears, so it is called the “imaginary world.”

On The Steps Of The Spiritual Ladder

Laitman_032_02Question: How can I measure the degree I am in illusion or reality?

Answer: When on the steps of the spiritual ladder, you will be able to determine the states you are found in. Right line, left line, or center line, on what stages: Reshimo de Hitlabshut (record of clothing) or Reshimo de Aviut (record of thickness) indicates the number of the level, in what world and in which Sefira you are found: Bina, Zeir Anpin, Malchut, and so forth.

A person will feel all of these concepts as he begins to move to the upper world.

Illusion And Reality According To Kabbalah

laitman_222_0Question: What is “illusion” and what is “reality” as defined in the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer:  An illusion is anything that doesn’t resemble the Creator. And reality is any part of the Creator I perceive. That is, it is an immense field, which I correctly perceive to the degree of my similarity to it. This field is perceived by me as the Creator and it is not an illusion but the truth.

The true reality – Upper Light or the Creator – is found at absolute rest. But our perception of this reality can change. The change depends on correction. If a person completely corrects himself, then nothing changes in his perception any more.

Everything is measured only relative to a person.
