The Only Factor That Determines Our Future

laitman_938.04Question: Which three factors out of thousands of factors in the single system determine our future?

Answer: Only one factor determines our future: the connection of people between themselves. Nature requires nothing else from us.

The fact is that we are locked in a certain system and we must bring it to balance. The closer we get to it, the more comfortable and balanced we will feel. Each of us should be interested in bringing this system to reciprocity.

We need to understand that we have no right to destroy each other because this we can disrupt the system so much that we will have to go back to the last degree and repeat the same thing again. There is nothing more problematic for us than mutual destructions, wars, and so on.

Therefore, the only factor that determines our future is reaching the correct connection between us.

Of course, many auxiliary factors are added to it such as education, upbringing, creation of what we call tens—small groups in which we can relatively quickly realize the connection between people into a correct system.

There is only one goal: to unite into one system, to mutually complement each other, where the network of connections between us becomes more important to us than ourselves.

It is in this system that the Creator is revealed—only in the connection and nowhere else.

When this system is arranged so that inside it we could feel its complete interconnection, then this mutual connection created by us will be called the Creator.

laitman_962.8Question: Why is the path to the first spiritual level not limited by physical time and dependent only on the readiness of a person?

Answer: It is not limited in time because there is no physical time in spirituality. Everything depends only on the development of your desire, how much you can get an answer to it.

Question: What is the meaning of the thousands of previous incarnations if a person always begins working for his own sake?

Answer: Every time it begins on different levels. Nothing ever happens in vain, we are constantly moving forward.

Question: There is an opinion that the Creator does not send a person trials that are beyond his abilities. Is there support for this in the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: Certainly. As a rule, a person does not have a chance to fail completely. One is sent only what one can tolerate.

Question: It is said: “If you change your place, you will change your luck.” Can a person change his location on his own or does this also come from the Creator?

Answer: A desire is called a place because it is the place for receiving the light. By changing one’s desire, a person necessarily changes one’s luck, one’s fate, because one’s spiritual state changes immediately.

Question: How does a person advance and what does one achieve by creating conditions for advancement and revelation of the Creator for other people?

Answer: Everything that passes through him to other people and what they attain, he attains in himself first.

Question: Are there exercises in the wisdom of Kabbalah for maintaining a correct perception of the world, for increasing efforts, and for focusing the intention?

Answer: There certainly are. I am very sorry that you have not seen this yet. You need to learn this methodically and seriously.

Question: Is an environment of eternally present souls of Kabbalists from the past and present not a sufficiently strong energy field?

Answer: No, because we need to act in mutual cooperation with those who are similar to us so that we are changed in relation to them and we obligate them to be changed in relation to us.

Question: While going through all the levels of the wisdom of Kabbalah, is it possible to achieve physical immortality?

Answer: There cannot be physical immortality because it is an imaginary state and it only seems to you that you exist in it.

Question: If one of the friends corrects one of his properties, will this property also be corrected in all of the friends in a group?

Answer: Yes, that is absolutely correct. This is the law of a closed system, otherwise he cannot correct this property in himself.

laitman_281.02Question: Is the Creator revealed in a field of good feelings or is the Creator the good feeling?

Answer: The Creator is everything that is in all worlds, in all of creation, within me. He determines everything, except for your freedom of choice—a small parameter that you determine for yourself.

Question: Is the path of suffering a desire of the Creator?

Answer: The desire of the Creator is our attainment of complete similarity to Him, in the middle line, because His state is the perfected state.

Question: If a person violates the laws of the spiritual system, will he necessarily experience suffering?

Answer: It is when the laws of communication between friends in a group.

Question: When a person achieves eternity and completeness, is this the point at which it is not necessary to feel pain and suffering?

Answer: Yes.

Question: I constantly try to imagine that everything comes from the Creator, that He is good to me, and that I feel Him as a loving presence. Then I feel grateful and happily participate in the group. Is a yearning to feel the Creator egoism?

Answer: No, these are the right attempts. A person should strive for good feelings.

Question: There were good relations in our family, but when my husband made a lot more money, he immediately changed. His aggressiveness was transmitted to the family, to the children. I want to continue the path of goodness, of personal development, but my husband is not listening to me anymore. Must I wait patiently or clearly move along and go my own way?

Answer: It seems to me that you cannot do anything here. You must make it possible for your husband to along the path he has chosen. The main thing is that he will think about you and the children, and you continue the path of your spiritual development.

Question: A person just wants to enjoy, even in a group, this is our essence. But this is not correction?

Answer: No, this is not correction. You need a group so that you can rise above yourself, so that through concern for the friends, through connection with them, you will achieve a connection with the Creator.

Question: Is every person ready and able to transform bitterness into sweetness and proceed in the quick and easy path of Achishena (path of acceleration)?

Answer: Yes, in our time every person can transform bitterness into sweetness and attain the goal of creation during this life. It does not matter how old one is. Everyone, if they will only try to make fewer mistakes moving toward the goal.

Question: Does our world mix with the upper world or do they remain separate?

Answer: No, they do not mix.

Question: If a person in a group suffers, does this mean that he is not going in the way of Kabbalah?

Answer: It means that for the time being he is unable to ascertain his suffering correctly in order to help him ascend spiritually.

Question: Is the Creator our common dream?

Answer: The Creator is what we represent between us. What this means is that we achieve revealing Him as the sum of all of our impressions and yearnings.

Question: How is it possible to understand that I have chosen the path of Kabbalah and not the path of suffering?

Answer: This depends on how much you draw the group and the friends together with you in order to ascend spiritually.

laitman_281.02Question: Is there a time interval between turning to the system and receiving an answer from it or does a Kabbalist receive an answer immediately?

Answer: You receive the answer immediately. The question is whether you understand the answer.

Question: Would you say that convincing yourself and understanding is the same thing?

Answer: Convincing yourself is not enough; understanding is a big problem. But these are all parts of your approach to the Creator, the higher system. The supreme management system is called the Creator.

Question: Is my correct request reflected in the world and then I see that the world is corrected?

Answer: To the same degree that you begin to be corrected, you will begin to see the world as corrected.

Question: What is the difference between turning to the center of the group with a request to the Creator and then the group bringing my request upward, and my turning directly to the Creator?

Answer: If your request and the request of each member of the group and all of them together are compatible, then the combined request directly influences your relationship with the Creator.

Question: How can one not forget to ask to resemble the Creator during good situations?

Answer: To do this, you must have a group that will remind you about it and you will remind them. Then, in good situations you will remember to turn to the Creator. However, in bad situations, there is no need for a reminder because then your ego will push you.

Question: Why are people who still do not have broad knowledge of the wisdom of Kabbalah and how to ask the Creator correctly able to turn with a request and get a result, while other people cannot understand why the Creator does not hear them?

Answer: That is completely incorrect. Let them ask, let them address as the wisdom of Kabbalah suggests, and then we shall talk.

Question: Is the imaginary control over others anything like controlling oneself? By controlling yourself, is it possible to help others?

Answer: That is basically correct.

Question: Should a desire to ask the Creator be awakened first or should one ask in any case even if one does not want to?

Answer: Even if you don’t want to, you should ask anyway. This will gradually awaken the right connection in you with the Creator. You can start in any situation, any way you wish, but a true and effective request that you will get an answer for must move through the group.

Question: Does the Creator hear us only if we pray about the problems of the members of our group?

Answer: You are asking to acquire the property of bestowal, love of others, being like the Creator; therefore, He will hear this.

Question: How can everyone be equal to the Creator if everyone is different even according to the root of the soul?

Answer: In an absolutely closed integral system, there is no small or great, there is no close or far, everyone is absolutely identical.

laitman_963.6Question: You have said that we should change. Should I read a Kabbalah book in order to change, and having changed, should I read it again but on a different level, and so on, up to the last level?

Answer: Yes, that is right. You are correct.

Question: If we are talking about building spiritual relationships, what are the points of an effective request that I, the emotional element, can make to the source of all of my states, to the Creator?

Answer: Asking the Creator correctly is a big problem. The Creator listens to all of our petitions, but only answers a correct request. It is difficult to achieve.

Question: How does one relate to envy?

Answer: A person is always envious. If I attend a sewing course, aren’t I envious of those who already sew well?

Question: Suppose I just thought of something and it happens. Is this an altruistic desire that has been realized correctly?

Answer: I cannot answer your question because I am not experiencing your situation. We do not speak of personal states.

Question: When we begin to learn the wisdom of Kabbalah, how can we be sure that we are doing everything correctly, in the best way?

Answer: Follow the right teacher. There is no other way.

Question: What does it mean to turn to the Creator through the group?

Answer: To do this, you must attend the lessons and participate in conventions. Turning through the group is our principal work, our main task. To understand how this is done takes a long time, a long period in life.

laitman_281.02Question: What is the difference between the creation at the beginning and the completion of correction? Is it the degree of awareness or the degree of similarity?

Answer: Consciousness and similarity (attainment) are the same thing.

Question: If we become similar to the Creator and achieve adhesion with Him, can we also create something that never existed, actually something from nothing?

Answer: No. You can create something that did not exist from elements that already exist. This means that you can correct your uncorrected desires and create correct desires.

Question: Must I ask the Creator to reveal the evil in me in order to feel the right attitude toward goodness?

Answer: Not at all! A person never needs to ask for the revelation of evil in himself. He should only ask for goodness: for revealing the good in himself. When a little goodness is revealed in you, you will see how next to it, appears evil.

Question: What is the difference between Adam and the concept of the Shechina (Divinity)?

Answer: Adam is the desires created by the Creator. The Shechina is the light that fulfills these desires. The Shechina is called the desire filled with light. The Shechina is Malchut and the Shochen (dweller) is what fulfills the desires: the light, the Creator.

Question: How can we feel that the Creator, in response to our request, corrects someone from egoism? What are the signs of a corrected person?

Answer: When you truly become higher than your friend, you will see how much your requests for him are fulfilled by the Creator.

Question: How can it be that in order to change my personal spiritual level so it will be +1, I need to connect more closely with other souls to the +1 level? It is a vertical, not a horizontal movement.

Answer: Vertical and horizontal are the same thing. You yourself do not change. It is only due to your connection with others.

Question: Is it possible to take an example from the physical manners of a teacher?

Answer: No. There is no need to take an example from what you see in me, even with your eyes. This is not good. It is unnecessary to learn anything from me other than one thing: perseverance on the way. All the rest is yours.

Question: They say that every person in this world has his own task, his own correction. Do Kabbalists not take others’ tasks upon themselves by connecting with other people?

Answer: No, this is impossible. How can I take on the correction of others ? I have my own personal properties. I can only correct myself.

A Place For Everyone In The Ten

Laitman_631.4Question: There are active and passive friends in our ten. Sometimes a desire arises to form a core from the active friends, but on another hand, it looks like there is a ten within a ten. Should we distribute our attention evenly and focus it on absolutely everyone in order not to fall apart?

Answer: In my opinion, the way ten is formed, let it remain so. There is no need to shuffle them. The ten is a spiritual unit. It should have everything: the core, the laggards, the achievers. Therefore, it is not necessary to change something in it by force. It should be taken into consideration that there is a place for everyone.
