New Life 765 – Becoming New Creatures
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

What is the next phase in human evolution? How will the change mankind undergoes be expressed and what is our role in speeding the process of evolution?

In the past we were very interested in the prospect of exploring outer space and other stars, but we are facing a very different course of development, an internal course. We have to become new creatures.

We are facing a new qualitative type of development, the discovery of the force of life, the force of the Creator; it is our operating system. Therefore, there is no point looking for life in outer space since the future course of our evolution is already inside us.

It is all inside us so there is nowhere to run. When all the people come together we will generate the new level. Our future form is one; it has nothing to do with religion, but is actually purely scientific.

The one is above time, motion, and space, above the inanimate, vegetative, animate, and the speaking level, beyond any limit.

Our future internal form is opposite from our current form. Instead of a desire to receive, it will be a desire to give and that is the upper force of bestowal.

New Life 764 – The Search For Life In Outer Space
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

There are laws in nature and we live in them. The vegetative level developed from the level of the still by the inner evolutionary program of nature, which is the force of life, the force that creates.

According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, the goal of our life is to discover this force of life called the soul, a discovery which will take us beyond the boundaries of the corporeal universe.

Even if we discover the conditions for the creation of life in space, it still doesn’t mean that they can develop.

The wisdom of Kabbalah turns on a light for us by which we can see a new higher dimension, above time, motion, and space. The spaceship by which we can reach the next dimension is internal, inside us, in our attributes.

In the News (pravda.ru): “A world comprised of large objects is predictable, reliable, and slow to change. But the whole world consists of particles – photons, and they in turn are movable and are unpredictable. Behind the shell of familiar objects seethes quantum life. …

“Classical physics describes on a large scale. It describes the world, it describes the people, it describes gravitational force – something with which we are accustomed to face on a daily basis.

“Quantum physics – is different. It describes the world on a microscopic scale. After all, the quantum – is elementary, the smallest beam of energy. The most famous quantum – a photon – is a particle of light. In recent years, it became clear that our world as a whole is quantum. … This is a very profound conclusion redefines modern scientific concepts that recently were regarded as immutable. …

“The first paradox: light – is both particle and wave.

“Probability is built into the very structure of reality – it is the first property of the quantum world. The second property – is non-locality, entanglement particles. A complexity of particles: the particle knows the behavior of its partner, if they are at a distance of a kilometer or even in different parts of the galaxy. It is also strictly scientifically proven fact. And two linked particles in the quantum world always communicate with each other. Moreover, this interaction manifests and propagates faster than light.

“Einstein’s theory is not broken. The fact of the matter is that this relationship of particles is not associated with information transmission. That is, the complexity does not allow passing information and any energy. And here is the complexity in the quantum world, its unity is completely unrelated to the classical concept of space, time, the speed of light. …

“Particles we imagine as a point. But the particle, in reality, is not an object in the conventional sense of the word. The particle – is like the excitation of a quantum field that surrounds us….

“It’s not that our material world, the world of large objects, is illusory – it is not. The fact is that it is not the main one. And the main thing in the structure of reality happens on a microscopic quantum level. …

“How is this fundamental quantum world refracted into what we see? The tables, chairs, television screens and, finally, in ourselves? It turned out that the most important thing in nature – is the act of observation. The world of quantum entanglement, turns into a seething world of material objects, when observation takes place. …

“Who watched the world, before there was mankind, when only the Universe was there? It was some kind of third-party super-observer, call it the Creator, the Maker – some kind of pure intellect.

“Now, many physicists, not marginalized, generally believe that if you turn away from the forest you were looking at, then there will no longer be the trees for you, the uncertain quantum turbulence. …

“It turns out that the concept of objective reality, which we were taught at school, is wrong?

“Absolutely correct. It is hard and difficult to understand quantum physics, because it is contrary to our sound logic, our common sense. We’ve learned that everything in our world goes on, the morning sun rises and sets, gravity works, we do not fall into the ground and do not fly away. But the quantum world is completely different.

“It turns out that the very birth of the world, the creation of our universe, can be considered a unique unusual quantum transition. And always an observer is required in quantum transitions. Who could be that observer at the time of origin of our cosmos? You can call it God, the Creator, the Maker, pure consciousness, and so forth.

“It turns out that without the observer, the universe simply makes no sense – based on direct interpretation of the current understanding of quantum physics, it is impossible to create without the act of observation. And once we understand that the world was the emergence of a quantum event, it is absolutely clear that there is God. It is – quite a scientific fact.

“It [our Universe] is organized in such a way so that it is comfortable for intelligent people to exist in it. … The mass of parameters in space is so favorable for our reasonable natural life – apparently, this is not accidental. The question naturally arises: ‘What if the world was originally provided for the possibility of our existence?’”

My Comment: In fact, nothing was created except for consciousness. The material world does not exist. Everything is felt only in our minds. Physicists are doing everything in their power to penetrate the other world. They penetrate its boundary layers, but later both matter and energy will disappear and evade the perception of different instruments and the mind.

Then they will understand that the wisdom of Kabbalah is calling people to discover, explore, and understand the Creator. The Book of Zohar tells us about that (see “The Introduction to The Book of Zohar“)

Question: People have a particular number of senses that help in a full perception of the world: sight, hearing, touch, etc.

Are there additional senses that are not now in our possession, but with which, if they were in our possession, we would see things that don’t appear in our consciousness at the moment?  And are there such feelings that we do not have, but if we did, we would see more that don’t appear at present to our consciousness?

Answer: The practical work of the wisdom of Kabbalah develops these additional senses in us.

New Life 495 – How Can We Control Luck?
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Life in modern times is very dynamic and by nature we are forced to balance it with  confidence and control so that in various life situations we will be happy to feel doors are open before us. How can we control luck?

Leading figures in politics, wealthy people, or world leaders would be very happy to maintain their positions, but we are gradually discovering that the world today operates according to different laws that do not depend on them. Our growing awareness requires the world to change with regard to us, but reality, or what you may call fate or luck, invites us to change and to develop.

A Little Bit of Luck

The word “luck,” “Mazel” in Hebrew, stems from the root “to drip”, and refers to a force that drips on us bit by bit and guides us to develop in the right way, helping us to advance correctly toward the spiritual goal. According to the Torah, we can control our fate or our luck according to the rule that Israel are above the stars and fate. What does that mean?

Israel refers to every person who aims at Yashar-El, which means at resembling the Creator, the general upper force of nature, the good and benevolent force, the force of love and giving. A person aims at that goal like a pilot who checks all the data he has while preparing for and during a flight: the different pressures, his location, the route, etc. He constantly adjusts his path and navigates in order to bring the passengers safely to their destination.

A person who wants to discover the upper force and to improve his life also constantly checks himself every step of the way. When he is ready to advance toward the spiritual goal the luck force puts delicate pressure on him, guiding him and enabling him to advance smoothly. The same luck force continues to guide him toward the final destination, fine tuning his advancement more and more. A person who focuses on the goal correctly feels that the luck force pushes him forward in a nice and pleasant manner.

The Changing Technique

What is it exactly that the luck force guides? Here is some background: man is basically a desire to receive pleasure and joy, an egoist who cannot easily change his desires and his perspective. This is where the luck force, the developing force, comes in. The luck force helps a person feel and understand the need for a change; this force helps a person change his attitude.

Luck gradually turns the egoistic desire to receive pleasure at the expense of others to a desire to give and to love others. The more a person changes his perception, the more loving he becomes and the more he begins to see and feel a better more beautiful world. This transition sounds unnatural, and rightly so. After all, it is about restarting a person’s attitude.

So how can we prepare ourselves to changing our luck for the better? According to the wisdom of Kabbalah it is possible only if we organize the right environment, which will promote values of love of others. Such an environment is built of a group of friends who have a clear goal toward which everyone helps each other advance more easily, more gladly, and by mutually supporting each other. Thus a person acquires the luck that helps him advance consciously, and gradually develops more love and giving to others, a new attitude to himself and to his environment.

Heaven on Earth

A person can develop during his lifetime. A person’s internal development from egoistic self-love, called this world, is a natural, normal state from which we begin to live our lives. We can develop toward our ideal state, toward the goal of love of others, and use the luck force correctly. Changing our attitude toward others and feeling greater love and bestowal is called the next world.

The change a person undergoes by changing his intention from self-love to love of others is called the transition from this world to the next world. In this state a person begins to feel that he is unlimited, about to enter heaven. There are no limits to love and bestowal, and a person feels that he is in an infinite dimension in which everything is good, for his own good.

In summary, the goal of life is to teach us to love, no more, no less. The more we try to resemble the force of love and giving, the more will be worthy of being called Israel, straight toward the upper force, and the more the luck force will operate on us, helping us gradually connect to the upper force, to heaven, without any limitations, until we feel eternity and wholeness.

New Life #353 – Past, Present, Future
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

On the one hand, how is it possible to conduct one’s life beyond the past, present, and future, and how can the connections between us help influence our future?

Summary

Feeling “only this moment” either means dying or learning to transcend the past, present, and future. It is possible to discover our developmental timeline, the program of creation, and to control life. This is a supreme pleasure!

One can try to train one’s mind to enjoy the “here and now,” and that’s it. But this is not the purpose of existence.

The purpose of human existence is to develop tools for managing its future like the present.

All of nature is connected, interdependent. The development of the human species is also in moving toward mutual connection. Someone who wants to enjoy maximally from now until the end of his days must build a good connection with everyone. If you hurt someone on the way to your personal enjoyment, this will come back to you. The world is round. If a person creates connections of friendship and mutual love with everyone, he assures himself of a good life.

On the way to a complete connection with others, you need to check your attitude toward them yesterday, in order to improve. Don’t eat yourself up about the past, just decide that from now on I want to correct the relationship. Through the wisdom of connection and special exercises, I begin to feel that others and I are one.

And when I begin to include all of reality within me, everything becomes me. I become unlimited.

Question: How can I see the forces that depict this world to me if I haven’t acquired a Masach (screen) yet, and the Ohr Makif (Surrounding Light) doesn’t influence me?

Answer: You cannot see anything before you acquire a Masach!

Question: You have said that we are all asleep and that this whole world is depicted to us as a dream. What stops a person from waking up and will he still exist in his physical body and continue to participate in this dream when he wakes up?

Answer: To wake up means to feel the upper world that manages us and to participate in its management.

New Life #351 – What Is Time?
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

What is the concept of time? Is it subjective? What does our feeling of time depend on and under what conditions can we understand and manage it in order to achieve something in life?

Summary

If my senses were equally impressed all the time, I wouldn’t feel time. Time is the outcome of change. Pleasure and lack of pleasure, this is what gives me the feeling of time since I am made of a desire to enjoy. Measuring whether our desire is filled or not is what gives us the feeling of time. The feeling of the future develops out of the desire to enjoy and learning how to attain what we desire.

There are many types of time, but in terms of the perception of reality, everything is in me, in my box. The perception of reality is totally subjective. Sometimes time is stretched and sometimes it goes by very quickly. We can have an objective perception of reality only if we learn how to manage our nature—the desire to enjoy. Managing the desire to enjoy means acquiring a higher desire, a desire to bestow, and working with both of them.

Question: Why does time seem to go by very slowly for a person who engages in something that he doesn’t like, but if engages in something that he enjoys, time seems to fly by? What is time for a Kabbalist?

Answer: Time for a Kabbalist is the number of changes that he undergoes at any given moment, and so if he undergoes several states in a second, this second is felt like a number of seconds, and if he is in the same state for an hour, the hour is felt like a second.

That is, time is tensile, capable of being drawn out and stretched. It depends on how we fill it, on the number of states we undergo in any unit time.

Question: Does the wisdom of Kabbalah refer to the concept of an internal viewer, and if so, is there a difference between the one who feels something and the place he feels it?

Answer: When a person begins to study the wisdom of Kabbalah he feels the world external to him as the world inside him.

What seems to be on the outside is nothing but our internal attributes that are reflected to us on the outside. We see ourselves, our internal attributes, the parts of our internal system on the levels of the still, vegetative, and animate nature and man, as the world that is external to us.

This is evidenced in the wisdom of Kabbalah and also The Book of Zohar, a special book that was written 2,000 years ago, tells us all the secrets of nature. It says in the “Introduction to The Book of Zohar” that the world is depicted to us as being external to us, which is an illusion and that in fact it is inside us.

This is very difficult to perceive. The theory of relativity, which scientists are discovering today, describes the mutual integrality of the universe and that it is one-dimensional; this was already described by the wisdom of Kabbalah thousands of years ago.
