The Basic Law Of Nature

Dr. Michael LaitmanQuestion: Who is the dissemination of the method of unity meant for?

Answer: Since our egoism has reached its complete development in the process of evolution, we are in a crisis with nature that surrounds us. Nature is single and integrated while we are egoists, detached from one another and divided, and so we are opposite from nature.

This leads to a crisis in many aspects of life including the ecology and society. Nature might just omit us out of its system if we don’t reach a state of balance with it. The wisdom of Kabbalah tells us about it in a much simpler way. Love thy friend as thyself is the main law of nature, and it is even simpler to yearn for unity. This is what we explain to people.

Answers To Your Questions, Part 140

laitman_202_0Question: The world is so complex that the more you try to get to know it, the more difficult it becomes to find answers, and sometimes there aren’t any that the human mind can grasp. It is a wonder how everything was created in such a contradictory manner and nothing exists without its opposite part. Why haven’t all the fields of study in our world and the teachings of the wisdom of great sages and also the eternal wars, diseases, and natural disasters taught mankind to be good? But, on the contrary, a person falls from spirituality? What will the fulfillment of materiality bring our planet to? What do the upper forces want of us? The ancient intelligent civilizations have disappeared. What is the plan? Everything is explained in the sources in a perfect manner, but in practice it all happens in a much worse way. Is there justice in our world or is it all the fruit of a very developed imagination? Does anyone need us? This is a maze of reflections and thoughts—what a heavy burden.

Answer: It is all very simple. The Creator has created everything in a direct manner, but we advance in a crooked way. Now, too, we simply have to unite and thus summon the Light of correction unto ourselves, but we do everything except this…

Question: Does every human being have an individual spiritual gene?

Answer: Absolutely!

Question: If there is suffering in my life, do I have to relate this situation to the Creator (that it is for the best),  and then I won’t feel that the situation is bad? When we approach a problem this way, it seems to disappear, but when you suffer it is very hard to remember that the sufferings come from the Creator. How can I constantly hold on to this intention that “there is none else besides Him,” since it slips away so quickly in times of trouble and instead I feel indifference, anger, rage, etc.?

Answer: Don’t leave the thought that everything comes from Him and do hold on to it all the time! If you can’t, ask Him to help you.

Question:  Do we bring the Creator contentment when we contact Him (when we begin to feel Him)?

Answer: Undoubtedly, and that is the only way.

Is It Possible To Benefit From Amulets?

laitman_205Question: Which amulets (red strings, holy water, and the like) are most useful for material well-being?

Answer: Charms and amulets do not lead to personal gain. Tricks and talismans don’t provide anything other than psychological support. He feels it, kisses the amulet, and feels calmer, as a result of feeling calmer, he may benefit.

Answers To Your Questions, Part 136

laitman_623Question: The more I read, study, and work on myself, the harder it becomes to understand. I have many questions and I cannot always find answers; it’s as if you enter a maze.

The question arises because there is a suggestion that we were created on earth to work, and also that we all are participants of the God’s experiment with a defined program code.

Where is kindness, compassion, mercy, and love? It doesn’t fit at all. How is it possible to observe indifferently all this horror that is happening on our planet? And where are we going, where are the gods? Perhaps we are guinea pigs programmed for self-destruction?

Answer: Study the texts of Baal HaSulam and you will know everything.

Question: I am interested in your opinion on the article “There Is No Contradiction Between Religion and Science” by Eduard Shifrin.

Answer: The author is in a process of spiritual development.
