Question: Inna asks, “Why do you always say “‘the Creator‘ and not ‘God’?”

Answer: In order to separate the name “God,” which exists in all religions, beliefs, and for all people in general, from the Creator, whom we recognize as a force, the upper, single, and perfect force that created us for a specific purpose.

God is something that exists above us and somehow controls everything. And the Creator is precisely the one who creates. In every second, He creates this world, creates it as if anew. The Creator is a much more personal concept.

God is something like… God! He is outside of me and He constantly exists. The Creator, however, is obligatory, coercive, and expects something from me.

Question: What does He expect from me?

Answer: That I will start demanding corrections from Him. That I will discover that I am completely dependent on Him and only He can give me the state in which I will be similar to Him.

I ask Him to do something and He does. Can you imagine?! On the one hand we are powerless and on the other hand we govern.

Question: Does it mean that I cannot do anything by myself?

Answer: But no one can do anything without me either. That is, I cannot do anything, yet without me asking, demanding, and instructing, nothing will happen.

Question: But how will I ask? How can I ask the Creator to do something?

Answer: Force Him! “My sons defeated Me.” It is in this way that we begin to feel that we are His children and that He created us precisely for such a role. All this is, of course, amazing.

Question: At the beginning you said “not God,” because God for all people is a personal perception. Do you not want a person to be in this perception?

Answer: No. The Creator is the one who creates. He brings the entire creation back to life at every moment. This is why we have to react to this every minute and feel and see the Creator’s creation every second.

The Creator in Hebrew is “Bo u-Reh” (“Come and see”). You have to come, reveal, and see. That is, it is a more extensive name, which has movement in it.

Question: Can there be a streak of failures both for a person personally and for the whole of humanity?

Answer: Yes, for countries, nations, and the whole of humanity. There are certain good and bad dates for every person, every nation, every country , and for all mankind. That’s why we distinguish different days of the year.

Question: And what can be advised, for example, to some nation?

Answer: Do not engage in any particularly serious business on bad days. Don’t get married, don’t wed; there are a lot of things.

The days of the week appeared as a result of this, the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and the seventh day is Shabbat, when it is forbidden to do anything at all. If you work on the seventh day, do not expect any favor from above, you will not be lucky. Even if you don’t see it right on the spot, after many years, somewhere, somehow, it will still accumulate and come out to you with bad deeds.

Question: What happens on this special day?

Answer: On Shabbat, the upper system of forces is at rest. Therefore, the Torah does not advise a person to take any action on this day.

Moreover, these actions are very strange: you cannot cook, clean, put things in order, sew, knit, draw, or paint, meaning, create something new, because on this day the upper governance system, the commutation of the forces of nature is disabled.

Question: What is the connection between all that you have listed?

Answer: There are a lot of laws. But they all come down to one thing: don’t do it and you’ll be better off. These are all laws of spiritual nature. You don’t see them around you, but there is huge meaning placed in them.

Question: What is the difference between luck and fate?

Answer: In principle, people sometimes confuse these two parameters.

Luck is something that did not seem to us as probable and suddenly happened. I did not think that I would win the lottery and suddenly it happened, or I accidentally passed the exam although I did not prepare at all, or I got a special job and was able to do it. And so on.

In general, we did not prepare for this state, but it suddenly kind of fell on us. It comes from the upper governance.

Comment: Yuliya asks: “Dear Michael Laitman, from your explanations it turns out that a person who lives only for himself is not a human.”

My Response: Everyone you see in our world is like this.

Man comes from the word “Adam,” Adam from the word “like,””Domeh,” similar to the Creator. That is, the spiritual image that we grow in ourselves, starting from the spiritual birth and beyond, is already a man.

Question: Basically, do we exist precisely for this? Is that why we are called human? Are we potentially going to be humans?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Do you think there are hardly any such people?

Answer: Yes. But we must strive for this.

Comment: But you say that there are only a few of them.

My Response: Very, very few. But we will achieve this in the future.

Now there is a period that leads to that, preparation.

Comment: “Luck” in Hebrew is “mazal,” which means “drops”—from the word “nozel,” “drip.”

My Response: Luck seems to be dripping from above. It comes unexpectedly. A person does not even suspect that luck will fall on his head and suddenly it manifests itself.

Question: If a person prays to the upper force for good luck in business or in marriage, does it have an effect?

Answer: Yes, it does. We must pray, we must ask.

Question: There are some things that come to a person easily, while other things are much more difficult. Let us say unity. Is it worth considering it this way: it is hard for me to unite with another person, and this is my contribution?

Answer: No. One should really try to reach any kind of contact in any place, under any conditions. The main thing is good relations. Different levels of them, but kind, and positive, when I wish another individual what I wish for myself.

At the same time, a good connection arises between people when they feel each other and permeate each other emotionally.

Each one of them understands the desires of the other, the qualities of the other, and how he can complement and fulfill them. We must feel this! To do this, you need to be in a group that is working on unity, and then you will feel.

We need to find such a group; we have a lot of them all over the world. With systematic participation in the work of the group, you will see how you accumulate internal sensations and knowledge, which begin to form into a new sense; it is called feeling your neighbor. You will begin to understand that until this time you did not feel your neighbor.

You did not feel people at all! You felt in yourself their model, which you created for yourself egoistically to get as much as possible from them and give them as little as possible, according to a simple egoistic law. This includes your children, this includes everyone. Now, when you do it in a new way, it is completely different.

Therefore, we must open courses and constantly, everywhere, teach people the elementary laws of commutation.

Question: Why is it happening that luck depends on the correct connections with other people?

Answer: It is because luck is the correct connection.

Everything that we receive, we receive through people. Even if something comes not through a person but through the inanimate, vegetative, or animate nature, it still depends on people.

Therefore, if we tune ourselves correctly to people and move toward them with good forces, not only will we neutralize their possible negative reactions, but we also tune the upper nature itself to be kind to us.

Question: People have been looking for effective ways to increase luck in their lives for centuries. Often they use various lucky charms, amulets, or stones because they believe they bring good luck.

To this day, people believe in all kinds of superstitions: knocking on wood, the number “13,” a black cat, and so on. According to surveys, 70% to 80% of people prefer not to face these events.

In principle, superstition is an attempt by people to somehow control or enhance this elusive factor called “luck.” How do you feel about superstitions?

Answer: Luck is indeed a somewhat elusive factor. But the impact on luck is not in running away from the number “13,” black cats and something else, but in bringing luck closer with your actions.

That is, by kind actions toward others, we can bring luck closer. With them, we create a positive field around ourselves, an absolutely physical parameter. And then luck will favor us or will approach us.

Comment: An interesting letter came from Anna: “I have been living in Cairo for 30 years. My husband is Egyptian, we have four children. I am a pediatrician and have already gotten used to living here. But it was not easy for me early on. I found you on the Internet three years ago and have been with you ever since. My husband knows about it and does not mind. But I always shudder when you talk about Egypt as evil, as egoism. I cannot get rid of the feeling that you are also talking about the Egypt I live in, which I started considering my homeland. Why not Greece or Italy, but Egypt. Can you explain?”

Answer: This particular root is called so. By the way, we owe all the good things to it. No one has done better for us than Egypt. It kept us, saved us, and reared us. We developed into a free nation and wished to become free ourselves. It is all thanks to Egypt.

In fact, I do not believe that the Egyptians treated us cruelly. They were very developed people within the framework of earthly life. Very cultured, serious people. And what kind of life was it, how long did they live in total, 25 years?

Comment: It is said: And Pharaoh arose and began to oppress the people of Israel, and their work was hard. It says that it was hard and difficult for people.

My Response: I do not see this as bad, no. I have a very respectful attitude toward Egypt in general, I would even say somewhere deep down a loving attitude because it brought us up, it formed us. We entered it as a crowd, and Egypt formed us and raised us to the level of good egoism.

It showed us with its oppression what freedom is—the opposite of Egypt. It even sacrificed itself so we would strive for freedom.

Question: Is Egypt then evil?

Answer: Of course it is evil. This egoism developed in us on purpose. Pharaoh is our great friend.

Question: So what should I say to Anna?

Answer: Live and enjoy with the feeling that you are in the right place.

Question: What would you say about Egypt as evil and as egoism?

Answer: It is the evil that heals. Like poison used to make medicine. Therefore, give respect to Egypt. In short, do not curse, do not spit into the well, but realize that you exist because of it. This well has raised you and made you a nation.

Question: So we entered Egypt, as you say, as a crowd and came out a true nation?

Answer: Nomads who do not know nor understand anything entered. Absolutely! And everything that is in us we understood, saw, and learned from the Egyptians.

Comment: I see. But still you are talking about Joseph and his brothers…

My Response: And who were they? They did not know or understand anything.

Question: So, should I say “Glory to Pharaoh”?

Answer: Yes. You must kiss the stick that teaches you. Is there another way? It is impossible to advance without suffering. And if suffering advances you, respect the suffering.

Question: Most people believe that luck is something random that happens for some unknown reason. About seven percent regard luck as something beyond our own control. Do you think luck depends on the person?

Answer: Yes, luck depends on the person as far as it is in his power. After all, we can project luck for the future, and think in such a way that it accompanies us.

Question: Some psychologists say that in order to be successful, you must follow four principles: be able to notice potential opportunities around you, listen to your own intuition, tune in to positivity, and be philosophical about life’s difficulties. What is luck for you?

Answer: For me, luck is the same as for everyone: to achieve in life the goals that I outline.

Question: Are there any special principles in Kabbalah that can help any person become the holder of luck?

Answer: Yes. The fact is that we are in the field of the force called the Creator. According to Kabbalah, we can influence this field to be a positive, promising area so that it captivates us and matches our goals. Therefore, Kabbalah regards luck as the fulfillment of correctly set conditions.

These include my desire to get closer to other people, to get closer to the Creator through them and to reach the state where I personally need nothing else besides this getting closer and good thoughts about others and through them to the Creator. If I am in this state, then I lack nothing. And so I hold on, live, and develop.
