Question: Scientists have proven that a woman retains information about all the partners that she had in her life and this later manifests in her children. Why does this happen? Why does the information remain although there is just one father?

Answer: This is why a woman as belonging only to a certain man is valued so much, it is because she carries the genetic information about all her previous men. Up to the fact that children can look like the men who she had affairs with many years before the conception of a child. The body remembers this.

Question: Does it have any spiritual information?

Answer: I would not say it is spiritual information, but it is a record.

We, humans, are very complex, multi-layered beings, so the transmission of spiritual information occurs even through our communication. There are many kinds of spiritual activities going on during our conversation right now.

The information that you receive from me is transmitted through the network through which you are connected with a great number of people, with those whom you knew and with whom you will have contact in the future. We are interconnected in this way.

Can you imagine what a huge communication system we are talking about, what is happening every second in the world? The way we all intertwine! We are moving forward because of this. Humanity is getting increasingly connected by these networks until it reaches complete unity.

Now we are moving toward a state of greater unity with each other. But it is negative. We must turn it into positive or it will tear us apart. There is egoism inside of this unity. Therefore, two opposing forces, unity on one hand and egoism in it on the other hand, will tear us apart.

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “What exactly is fascism? What is wrong with it?“

The word “fascio” means linking a bundle together. Fascism is thus a certain unity of people, but a unity with no correction of our egoistic desires.

Our every desire is egoistic, i.e., a desire to serve ourselves at the expense of others. If we make no moves toward correcting our egoistic desires so that instead of our aiming to self-benefit in our unity at the expense of other groups and nations, then our unity is built on the basis of opposition to and hatred of others.

That is the problem with fascism. The result is mutual destruction.

The solution to this flawed form of unity is to unite not on the basis of an ego that opposes others, but on the basis of the fundamental laws of nature: laws of unconditional giving and love.

There can be no true and lasting unity if we fail to connect through the laws of nature that bond us together before our egoistic perceptions give us a picture of division and detachment from one another.

The more we develop in incongruence with the laws of nature, the more we will experience the detrimental, destructive and warring clashes of our egos that grip us in a perpetual tug of war. That is, we will increasingly suffer from the fact that we lack the wisdom of how to unite in a way that brings us lasting harmony and peace, and our increasing suffering will gradually breed in us a stronger and more pinpointed need for such unity.

Question: Why is Kabbalah particularly relevant today?

Answer: Kabbalah is the only source that provides us with an answer to the question of correct existence and the purpose of creation.

This path still needs to be revealed. However, in principle, we are already at the beginning of it.

Comment: Ruslan asks: “Why do you not say as it is: ‘God’? You say ‘upper force,’ ‘Creator,’ or ‘nature,’ and not as they write everywhere else.”

My Response: I do not want to confuse people with what they have already heard before! “God, God!” What is God anyway?

Question: But still they say “God,” and you say “Creator.” What do you mean by “the Creator”?

Answer: The Creator is the one who creates, makes, constructs, and makes us and everything within us every minute. God, however, is some kind of force that fills the void around us.

Question: So are you worried that a person will perceive not what you want him to perceive when you say “God”?

Answer: God and the Creator do not evoke the same feelings in a person.

Question: What feelings do you want to evoke in a person when you say “Creator”?

Answer: It is a wise force that takes me by the hand like a little boy and leads me forward.

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “What do you think are the responsibilities of a school principal?“

Other than being well-educated and having experience, a school principal is a person who needs to understand children’s and teenagers’ characters.

They need to be special people in that they have patience, an understanding of human nature, and knowledge of how to modulate the school atmosphere.

School principals need to make room for everyone and try to reveal among everyone a tendency toward a positive connection, creating a peaceful school climate.

It is quite a complicated role and I am not sure that there are many such people.

Based on the video “What Is a School Principal According to a Kabbalist?” with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman and Oren Levi. Written/edited by students of Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman.

Question: Do you have fear that your students will no longer need you like it happened with Rabash’s students at the time?

Answer: I don’t know! For now, I do not feel this way. Sometime ago I was told a fortune that I would live for many years. But I heard it by accident from someone. Personally, I do not make plans and I do not think that it is necessary. After all, spirituality is not connected to mechanical years.

I would want to see my students tightly connected among themselves in the world that they understand and are able to adapt to and that they spiritually subjugate themselves. To subjugate it in the kind sense, meaning to give out what it needs. The world will understand and accept them. The world will be in good and kind communication with them. It will receive the method of correction, elevation, and wellbeing from them.

It is quite possible that everything will suddenly break off. I do not know. Why should I make any predictions?

A Kabbalist wants to see the fruits of his work. Besides, when he departs from this world, he is leaving relative to his students. They do not see him, do not have contact with him as before. However, he still remains among them. He still senses for real their inner essence.

This so-called illusory world Olam haMedumeh disappears, but everything else stays.

No connection is lost except for the outer physical connection between people who exist only in it. Therefore, the Kabbalist loses his ability to act in a clear earthly way upon people who exist only in material attainment.

Question: If a person suffers in this life, is it karma for bad actions in a previous life?

Answer: Reshimot, memories, records of the past, put pressure on a person and determine his present and future. But a person, by his behavior, can change the influence of these records from the past and make sure that they are perceived positively in the present. It all depends on us.

Question: What are these records, which in Kabbalah are called Reshimot?

Answer: They are information about past actions.

Question: Is there a Reshimo from future actions?

Answer: Since there are no future actions yet, there is no Reshimo. We have only assumptions about future actions.

Question: Where is this information data recorded, these Reshimot from the past?

Answer: They are written on our desires, which is called in our soul.

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “Is it fair to push your child into activities they don’t want to do?“

A child’s upbringing should take place under the influence of the surrounding society.

Parents are a very important aspect of our upbringing, but in principle, in any society children are educated not by their parents, but by their surrounding societies and communities, i.e., by a great big family.

We are influenced from the moment we are in our mother’s wombs. We are then born and raised close to our mothers, and afterward, we move away a little and our education takes place under social influences.

In other words, first comes our inner animalistic development, and then we undergo a period of nursing until the age of three in which we are still non-socially-developed beings. Then, from the age of three, our education includes society.

When we are under society’s influence, we should seemingly show no trace of our parents’ influence. Society then shows us that our social interaction and integration with society is important. Such is the correct form of education, especially in our era when we are becoming a globally interconnected and interdependent society.

Therefore, the more we teach children the art of communication and integration with society, the more benefit they will reap. Society will then determine the kinds of activities that the children will want to engage in.

However, such development takes place together with others. It then becomes easier, more interesting and more attractive for children to engage in various activities. They will then gladly participate in the activities that society deems enjoyable, without parental pressure.

Question: Does a person have the freedom to implement the principles of creation? Suppose I know that the principle that the world is one and some other principles. What can I do regarding them?

Answer: Nothing, these principles provide you with some understanding of the structure of the world, the creation, in which you exist and nothing more.

Based on these fundamental blocks (principles), it is already possible to shape a tactic of your behavior: whether you can or cannot improve your condition in some way.

Among these principles, on one hand, is the principle of freewill and, on the other hand, the principle of absolute deterministic development, which means the beginning, middle, and end of all development follows a strictly defined program.

By studying the principles of creation, you begin to understand where you have freewill, in which cases it is mandatory and only in this it manifests itself, how you can act to change something yourself, or whether you are completely subject to the upper force.

In other words, you proceed from principles that explain to you one universal law of nature, but from different aspects: relative to yourself, relative to society, and relative to the elements of development.

Then you can shape your relationship with the world, whether you have the ability to somehow influence the world or the impact it has on you to improve your condition.

Why do we need to know this? Just out of pure curiosity? No. We want to understand what lies ahead of us and how we can change something in our destiny.

There are rapidly changing events taking place in the world right now. And in a year or two, this speed will seem slow to us. In a year or two, the world will be rushing at such a crazy speed that today’s change of events will seem to us like the movement of a cart compared to a modern airplane.

Comment: It often happens that a person changes his name or surname in the hope of changing his fate.

My Response: I do not take it seriously. Perhaps he will start behaving differently, but it is purely psychologically.

Comment: However, I noticed a pattern that people with the same names behave the same way as if they have some kind of program.

My Response: Maybe. I can agree with this.

Question: Is there any connection with spirituality in the fact that you were called Michael?

Answer: I do not know. I think I was named after my grandfather. This is a very ancient name that goes back to biblical times to the angel Michael.

Most of the names of mankind are of biblical origin. In general, these are Jewish names, only slightly adapted to other languages.
