Transmitting Kabbalistic Information

Laitman_509Question: What are lyrics for a Kabbalist? Can Kabbalists feel sad?

Answer: Lyrics are feelings. In Kabbalah, feelings always have their specific mathematical expression.

I can write them in the form of a formula, send it to you via fax or by email, and if you understand it, you can already manage this formula, that is, you can reproduce it in yourself and feel what I feel. Then you and I will have the same feelings. In this way we transmit Kabbalistic information to each other.

In our world, we can transmit sensorial information to each other, but it will express different sensations in us. Suppose a certain symphony is being played; each perceives it differently because it imposes sounds that evoke feelings in each one, and therefore everyone interprets them in accordance with their inner experiences, with their past, etc.

This is not the case in Kabbalah. In reproducing Kabbalistic information, you penetrate it sensorially, you transmit your whole self over to this information, it plays in you. You become the material that it sculpts and forms; you experience this state.

The Path Of Kabbalah

laitman_232.06Question: What is the path of Kabbalah?

Answer: The path of Kabbalah is the middle line.

The left line is the path of egoism and the right line is the path of bestowal. We cannot move in either one because both of these lines come from above. They are the forces of our development, and we are arranged so as to correctly combine them with each other.

The ability to combine the right and left lines and move in the middle line is the result of all our efforts.

To Whom Is The Creator Good That Does Good?

laitman_567.04Question: To whom of those living on earth is the Creator good that does good? How and with what do these people compensate the negative side of the system of governance?

Answer: The Creator is good that does good to the ones who feel it. There is no favoritism here as if to someone He is good and to someone else bad. He presents the same conditions for everyone.

It is just that each of us has his or her own individual soul and depending on its development, a person feels the influence of the Creator. Perhaps this impact is still quite neutral and distant, which does not particularly bother him, and therefore, he does not ask such questions. Nevertheless, everything that people do, they do only under the influence of the Creator.

There are people who already feel that it comes from someone and they begin to search.

And there are those who already reveal who causes all these sensations and movements in them, who controls them. Thus, through their inner work, they attain the Creator.

Feel The Creator’s Game

laitman_934Question: There are events we perceive as right or wrong, good or evil. Does it depend on our perception? Or is there a system of good and evil?

Answer: Evil does not exist. And the so-called negative effects are needed only to push us toward the goal of creation, to set us in motion.

If you feel any impact on yourself, you should first relate it to the Creator and try to unite with your friends even more despite this influence. And then, look at what happens with the negative impact: does it remain or gradually disappear like fog. From this, you will begin to experience the Creator’s game. This is not psychology but forces that act in nature.

So first try to resolve any negative effects in the group, in greater connection with each other.

This is what we do at every daily Kabbalah lesson. Watch our lessons sometimes even if at first they seem difficult, confusing, too private to you. In these lessons we study the impact of the Creator on us and our correct reaction, which leads us to the goal—to the revelation of the Creator.

To reveal the Creator is to reveal the system of governance, to reveal the cause of what is happening in us, with us, yesterday, tomorrow, before life, after death, etc. This is the subject of the science of Kabbalah.

Not To Harm The Group

laitman_938.04Rabash, “The Agenda of the Assembly”: Each one should seriously consider the purpose of the gathering—that it should bring about a sensation, following the assembly of friends, that each one has something in his hand which he can put in his vessels, and that he is not in the form of, “But do not put any in your vessels.” Each one should consider that if he does not sit especially attentive during the assembly, not only does he himself lose, but he also corrupts the whole of society.

To the extent that a person can receive from the whole group, he can also under-deliver, that is, bring harm to it.

Question: Is that the fear that a person should have?

Answer: Definitely. It is considered to be his achievement or vice versa. In general, he can go either to the plus or the minus in relation to the group.

Question: So if I don’t invest toward the goal in relation to the group, do I fear that my actions will harm it?

Answer: Fear is not the issue. The fact is that every positive or negative result stems from what you invested into or took from the group. By taking, it means you introduced a negative force of moving forward to the group. But by investing in it, you create a positive force of advancement.

Practically, you take nothing for yourself. However much of the positive or negative force you brought into the group should be measured, and that is what is yours. That is, the group feels the result of your actions, and it stays there.

The negative force means criticism, various arguments, and descents, including personal ones. Positive forces are high spirits, security on the path, inspiration, etc.

Both, positive and negative states should be brought together. But the negative ones should be scrutinized and applied to our work.

Question: How can we bring the negative states into the group correctly?

Answer: If you scrutinize them correctly, the group will benefit from it. There can be no advancement without positive and negative factors.

Life, Death, And Consciousness

627.2Question: If it is not the soul, then what enters a new body in the new birth in a reincarnation?

Answer: The point in the heart.

Question: What happens to our consciousness when the biological body dies?

Answer: Nothing happens. The fact is that our consciousness exists in order to safeguard our egoism. When egoism dies, that is, when it hides from us, then consciousness becomes of no use to us. Therefore, it disappears.

But with the help of our method, we develop a new kind of consciousness and a new kind of desire. The new consciousness serves the new desire—the desire to give. And we do not need to die for this. We can live several lives and deaths during the current existence of our body.

Moreover, we will not feel that we are dying because we will already be in a completely different “beyond body” state.

Blitz Of Kabbalah Tips – 8/26/18

laitman_281.02Question: If the whole world is inside of me, who am I?

Answer: This is the most difficult question because I can understand, find out, and interpret myself only when I attain my full correction, meaning the level of the Creator. Then I will feel what I actually am—a small point within the higher power, within the Creator.

Question: Who are the other people in my world, inside of me, if they are derived from my characteristics, from my perception? Do they truly exist?

Answer: They don’t exist in themselves. I create them within me.

Question: When I change, will I stop being myself or will I find myself, my future self?

Answer: By changing myself, I find my future self.

Question: Is love of others really loving parts of myself since the whole world is inside me and flows and lives only within my feeling? Should I learn to love myself differently, in a broader sense?

Answer: You need to exit your ego, transcend it. With its help, but in an opposite way, when it becomes a bestower of the receiving property, it communicates and connects with others.

Question: How can I not confuse a real yearning for spiritual feeling with my emotional and mental state? All of these states are transmitted to my brain.

Answer: At first you will be confused, but you will gradually begin to shape everything within you. This will begin to transform into images, dependencies, conditions, and maybe even graphics. Gradually this method will become part of you.

Question: Does my desire have a special power? Can I correct and change something through the force of my will?

Answer: No you cannot change anything with your will. Only through your connection with others, only by actions above your egoism, can you change your nature and those around you.

Question: If all the others are parts of me and everything is inside me, then what is we?

Answer: We are parts of a single desire called Adam.

Question: If every person has his own reality, can we combine them into one by sharing our feelings, sensations, and differences in perceptions? Is that enough?

Answer: I cannot tell you how to integrate different realities into a single perception. I don’t have the words to describe this.

Cognition Of The General System

laitman_275Question: In the common soul of Adam each one has his own role and part. Suppose I am destined to reach a small degree of attainment of the Creator. What does it mean?

Answer: It does not matter whether you have a large or a small attainment because you are a cell of a single integral organism.

Therefore, you feel the entire organism from your cell, to such an extent that all of its activities, all of its work, and all of its plans are comprehended by you according to the extent in which you enter this system.

In such a case, you attain the entire system. You have no feeling left that you did not achieve something. You feel completely filled with knowledge.

Request For The Future

Laitman_043Question: How can one ask correctly? Is it a practical action?

Answer: The correct request is not the words that I say. To ask correctly means to create within yourself an image of the correct request, which means the state I am now in and the state I would like to be in.

The difference between these states is my request. I ask for a change in me so that I will move from the present state to the future one.

Why do I ask for myself? Isn’t this egoism? The fact is that Kabbalah speaks about this kind of request because the entire world is within me. If I change myself, I change the world.

As we study in the perception of reality, everything I feel outside of me is a projection of what I depict inside of me. Outside of me there is only the upper light, onto which I project my inner qualities.

Therefore, all people and inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature, and the entire universe in general are a projection of my inner qualities. The first, second, third, and fourth stages within me are projected onto the white light, and this is what I feel as “our world.” Therefore, I ask for my correction and thus, I correct the world.

The Speed Of Spiritual Development And Reincarnation

760.4Question: Does the speed of my development and ascent to the spiritual world depend on my previous lives and the reincarnation of my soul?

Answer: Certainly it depends on that. This is not the first time we are in this world.

It is hard to explain what death and birth mean, how we disconnect from ourselves today and reconnect, how certain memories are regenerated within us, and we think that we existed some time ago, etc.

This is not easy to depict for now. However, we are in the process of a long progression of correction.
