Man And The Creator Are Partners

laitman_571_03Question: Do I systematically fail in finding a job, as well as in my marriage, because of my own choices, or is it predetermined by upper forces?

Answer: You should try to do everything you can to improve your situation, but, at the same time, you should understand that everything depends on the upper force. This means that you should believe that everything comes from the same force and, at the same time, make efforts on your part toward correction. Thus, you and the Creator become partners and together determine your path.

Question: What should I do if I am not interested in studying the wisdom of Kabbalah, but life brings along one blow after another and leads me to study?

Answer: You should be grateful for that since if it weren’t for the blows that life brings along, you wouldn’t have reached the wisdom of Kabbalah. This is a very good diagnosis of your state. There are people who study Kabbalah and hate it and the Kabbalists but feel obliged to continue studying. Later, they understand more deeply what a treasure they have been given and why the upper forces compel them to continue studying, and the study changes them.

Where Can We Hide From The Onslaught Of Refugees?

laitman_430Question: You once said that refugees will start coming from the East towards Europe and that this will have severe consequences. I live in Germany and I would like to know what I should do, and whether I should flee back to Russia?

Answer: Russia will not be safe from these forces! There is only one way to escape them and that is by drawing the positive force into our world without running away anywhere.

Humanity exists only in the negative egoistic force, which leads to clashes between us. However, we can create the right motion forward but only by drawing the positive force into our world that will balance the negative force and make our world a harmonious place. This is the only free choice we have and the only way to correct the present situation.

Comment: But many young people enter Germany every day and behave as if they own the place and not as people who need help.

Answer: Of course! It would be naïve to think differently! These immigrants believe that they should be provided with shelter and money, and the Europeans don’t understand yet who they are dealing with so they measure everyone according to their standards.

But from the immigrant’s’ perspective, Europe owes them; their attitude is “serve us; do everything for us and then get lost and we will take your place.” It is very simple! They are carefully and specifically guided as to how to bring this about.

What I said many years ago is now being manifest, and so in the next decade we will see how Europe changes, voluntarily,  in a democratic way.

There Are No Coincidences In Nature

Laitman_632_1Question: For a person who is very close to death, is there a warning, or is it just a coincidence?

Answer: In nature, there are no coincidences or chance events. Rather, everything is determined and measured with infinite precision.

When a person begins to develop with the goal of discovering the purpose of creation, he discovers the reasons for all that happens to him.

This person is no longer interested in chance events, but yearns to attain the positive force by means of which he can begin to manage his fate and develop his soul, and all of the events of his physical life lose their importance for him.

The Only Way To The Creator

laitman_214Question: Do you think that Kabbalah is the only path to the Creator?

Answer: Of course. Try to find another way.

Try finding a science that is capable of investigating the whole world, the entire universe, and that would govern this world in an absolutely realistic way with no belief in any kind of superstition, a science that would provide a person with instruments for revealing the general system of governance and would show a person exactly where he should get involved in order to direct this system in a positive way for himself and for all of humanity.

Find such a methodology, and I would be happy to leave the wisdom of Kabbalah for it because today Kabbalah is precisely such a methodology.

Completing The Energy Of Life

Laitman_631_2Question: Is it possible for a person to make up for his loss of vitality by using a higher power or other sources?

Answer: It is possible and necessary! When a person begins to engage in developing his soul, he receives enormous energy from the upper force of nature. Of course he undergoes difficult states like disappointments, weakness, etc., but eventually due to his perseverance and the importance of the goal, he acquires a tremendous force called the love of others, the need to exist for the sake of others.

A person feels that he has exhausted the corporeal desires of this world and at the same time recognizes his connections with people from the love of others that he has acquired. He develops and he can continue to live in this world together with the feeling of the upper world.

The Secret Of n-Dimensional Space

laitman_237Question: I am a mathematician and I read TES and The Introduction to TES in great depth. I feel the material. Mathematics cannot describe an n-dimensional space. How can we attain this space according to the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: It is impossible to describe this space in our natural properties. That is why the wisdom of Kabbalah is called the secret wisdom, the concealed knowledge. But in fact it isn’t secret or concealed, but in order to reveal it, a person needs to acquire the properties of the upper world.

A multidimensional space can be created only inside a person, according to the space that is created in him as a result of his efforts to acquire the attributes of the upper world. It is by the connection in the group that he directly perceives the spiritual world.

A Chance To Make The World A Better Place

laitman_229Question: Can a person who received a blow of fate, not understanding its causes, make a wrong choice again or does the correcting force guide him to make the right choice in order to develop? How many blows can a person bear?

Answer: There are people who reach the solution to the meaning of life, just as you have been brought to the wisdom of Kabbalah, and there are those who don’t reach the wisdom of Kabbalah, although they have suffered more than you have.

It depends on the root of a person’s soul. It is impossible to compare people. There are those who suffer and there are those who don’t suffer and who even enjoy life. We don’t know the reason for what happens in the world and you cannot compare everyone according to the same standard and say that the world is right or not, not knowing how things happen.

You can only speak for yourself. You have been given a chance to make yourself and the world happier, and along with your existence in this world, you receive a reward and a prize, the attainment of the upper world of Infinity. You are able to do so because this is the root of your soul, and later you will discover why it is so and why it was given you and not to the other 8 billion people. It isn’t a special privilege, but it is simply time for your soul to be born and to fulfill its mission. This is the reason you are here.

You cannot compare yourself to others. You cannot know what happens with other souls, which levels they belong to and where they are in the general control system, and there is no point thinking about it. You will discover everything by fulfilling yourself.

How Can We Draw The Upper Light?

laitman_947Question: How can we draw the Upper Light? Should we cry out, should we meditate?

Answer: You can only draw the Upper Light through your relationships with other people. It is even better if it is in a group of ten people.

If a good state of mutual guarantee, mutual communication, according to the principles that a spiritual group should be built, is formed between them, they begin to feel the upper force in this connection.

Question: What should the uniting positive force that can overcome the ego of all of humanity, that is revealed in all our relationships, both interpersonal, political, international, etc., be?

Answer: It’s very simple. You shouldn’t be in conflict with anyone, not with the family, with society, and not with the state, but engage only in connection and unity with all of humanity.

We have to establish a covenant with everyone according to which we will be able to feel the system of the upper management of our world, acquire the attribute of bestowal, and awaken the forces of goodness and unity in the world.

How Can We Avoid Ill Fate?

laitman_942Question: If everything in life is predetermined, isn’t better to remain passive?

Answer: If a person waits passively, ill fate will still force him to look for a solution to improve his life. We are in a continuous search for this solution through science, art, having children, etc., until we find the best and only solution—the correction of the connection between us  because the upper force is revealed in the good connection between us, and then we merge with our root. Only the return to our root, from which we were created and to which we should return, can fully satisfy us.

Question: Is a person immune from ill fate if he studies the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: If you implement the wisdom of Kabbalah and don’t just study, then not only can you avoid ill fate, but you can also receive gifts from Heaven. I am absolutely serious!

A person suddenly begins to feel that he succeeds in everything. Not everyone feels this, but nature tends to be merciful with those who make an effort to resemble the attribute of bestowal in nature.

How Does One Appease The Higher Forces?

laitman_628_2Question: Can a person appease the evil forces?

Answer: “Appeasement” or balancing the evil forces is possible only through a higher positive force that a person attracts to himself.

Question: In the wisdom of Kabbalah does a concept like “being at the right time and the right place” exist?

Answer: If a person’s main occupation is the development of the soul, he has no more interest in this because through his concern for integral connection between all the creatures, he is the one who completely determines all activities, even the smallest.
