Faith above reason is entry to the spiritual world. It is what determines our place. It is like an ID that testifies to who a person is, where he is in relation to humanity, his ego, the Creator and all of reality. Faith above reason determines the whole person.

The continued presence of the #coronavirus raises the need to establish a basic universal income for everyone—in exchange for contributing to the production of necessary food items, commodities, and enrolling in a global education program, leading to economic and social unity.

We are not abandoning #globalization—we have never yet experienced it. We simply had a large market! The virus has destroyed trade and production. We have grown up from the past, connections have been torn, barriers are in place, and countries want independence to bring production back from #China. Saying goodbye to the past is a joy!

My Thoughts On Twitter 6/4/20

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

The most important thing in the wisdom of Kabbalah is to reveal the Creator —the one who governs me, and how I should accept this governance. Am I under the Creator’s complete control, or am I mistaken in that I am?
One must annul oneself, calibrate oneself properly to understand who am I and what is the world.

The Light of the Creator—the light of bestowal, the power of faith, allows us to rise above our ego and see everything not with the ego-eyes, when I complain to the Creator, the world, and myself.
If I regret what I did and blame myself, I do not seem to believe in the single upper force besides which there’s nothing.

The Creator is the result of all my efforts to unite in the ten. I am constantly looking for this solution, but I keep circling around it, around the center of the ten, missing it. Because egoism knocks me off of this goal. Only with equal striving toward Israel – Torah – Creator can I get to the center.

The center of the tens does not apply to any of us, but only to all in equal measure—this is the Creator. As if I took 10 paints of different color and began to mix them together until there was not a single predominant color left. The resulting connection is a quality of the Creator!

Faith is determined by the discrepancy between what I see and what I have to see. If this world is perfect, because the Creator created it, and there is no one but Him, then I must see it as ideal. But I see many problems in it now —this is the level of knowledge.

My Thoughts On Twitter 6/3/20

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

There’s nowhere to run from the new state of the “last generation.” We must realize our mission, which cannot be shirked: to bring humanity to a global, integral system of connections by way of the light that reforms, which flows through our group and into the world.

When a good connection, mutual guarantee, emerges in our unity, we sense life inside it. In the current painful existence, the whole body is fragmented, lacking circulation of the upper light, which fills every part of the soul. This means attaining correction, the eternal and perfect life.

The health of the nation depends on unity, mutual guarantee. Every person is a guarantor for the neighbor’s health and the care for everyone’s good health. This is how we will get rid of the virus —how we will perform an action toward unity, mutual guarantee, and construction of the common integral vessel!

Mutual guarantee is the main correction! I must think of others, be included in them, care for and feel their desires, understand how to help them attain adhesion with the Creator, and correction of the broken soul of Adam HaRishon.

The #coronavirus is intended to show us how dependent we are on each other. This dependence is called “mutual guarantee,” when I must think not about how to save myself from the coronavirus, but how to save others from the #infection, with my caring, good attitude to them.

The #coronavirus barges into our life and declares, “You are all integrally connected, you are all standing in front of Mount Sinai, and if you do not unite with each other and ask the upper force to correct you, this will be your burial ground.

We will start to get on the right path when we will sit at home because we fear infecting others, instead of thinking of ourselves. The coronavirus won’t go away until this change takes place. The virus will force us think about how not to harm others. I am afraid to harm others and I prefer to sit at home. #coronavirus

We must see the essence of the virus. It points not to a biological illness, but to our spiritual state, to the relationships between us, to the lack of our mutual guarantee. And in order to preserve such a guarantee and mutual concern, we need the upper light.

Mutual guarantee is when I must not think about myself, for others are thinking about me! I must think only about them, about the ten. We are all in mutual guarantee, gradually expanding it to include the whole world, and the Creator dwells between us, correcting us.

Dissemination is the correction of our external spiritual vessel (Kli) that must be attached to us, which we must treat as a head treats the body. Dissemination is the most important and necessary component, and here we place great hopes on the women!

Our life comprises the study, the work on unity, and dissemination. The study is first and foremost, for without it there will be neither unity nor dissemination. Without unity, you cannot actualize the study and you cannot do dissemination, i.e., the general correction of the world.

The “Torah” is an instruction (Oraa), a manual to the path, a complete guide that describes all our ascents and descents, all the relationships between us and the relationships with the Creator. It is a means of drawing the light of correction from above from the corrected system of the general soul of Adam HaRishon into our broken system.

People think that the first wave of the #pandemic has passed, and we can ease the conditions of the #quarantine until the next wave comes. But who said that we can already ease our lives? After all, have we already carried out any corrections? Have we brought ourselves in congruence with the integral nature? Have we improved our society?
#Covid_19

The #coronavirus has brought us all to a realization of our own utter helplessness. Nobody knows what to do, how to escape these problems? Even though the virus is taking fewer lives than wars, it binds us completely. The healing starts by starting to correct the ego, but nobody will agree to that, for now.

Egoism is given from above; its revelation comes from the Creator. Therefore, do not expect egoism to disappear. On the contrary, we grow as our egoism increases! I need to get used to it. I must not despair. I must go on, even on all fours, but keep on crawling toward the goal.

The Creator is not an inner power; there is no power in us! There are ten people, and not one has any power. But since we want to connect, we reveal the force between us. This force is the Creator who is between us. We use His power, not our own.

It is out of despair, supporting each other, making efforts despite fatigue, that we approach the revelation of the Creator. This work is called a journey through the desert, where we draw the power of bestowal. Passing through the desert, we ascend from Malchut to Bina.

It’s easier to understand a friend’s question than to feel it. But we must try to evoke feelings through the mind. Everyone feels, then asks. From a friend’s question, I want to feel what he feels. The friend went from a feeling into his mind, while I, with my mind, want to attain his feeling.

I want to get closer to my friends or to the Creator, but I can’t. This is where the opportunity arises to ask the Creator for help, to affect me with the upper light, to give me the power of bestowal. I must reveal the place of correction, and the upper light will correct. “The Creator will finish it for me.”

ILO: One third of the world’s population, over 2 billion people, are at risk of job loss.
In fact, only the enterprises and jobs necessary for existence will remain. The rest should be engaged in #training and #education of a new society.

It is necessary to reduce all made-up businesses for which there is no need, that destroy nature. People who are free from unnecessary work should be enrolled in the system of integral education, so that they learn about the right connection between us should we want to survive and be happy!

We exist in a global integral nature, and we are obliged to change, adjust ourselves to its structure. Otherwise, this state will come to us through bloody force, like all changes in social structures that were accompanied by wars and revolutions. This is not a virus but a spiritual revolution.

Mankind has suffered a serious ideological blow. People do not really want to return to their jobs. They need to make a living, but it does not incite the prior enthusiasm. Passion, desire to succeed, win, or manage have been lost. “The #coronavirus blow made us wiser!”

The only way to avoid epidemics is to establish good relations between us. This is the only way to destroy all viruses—we are obliged to connect into one system of good connections. Please note: nature will prompt us to do so with many different impacts!

My Thoughts On Twitter 6/1/20

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

The Torah is not a book, but light. The Creator: “I have created the ego and the Torah for its correction, for the light in the Torah corrects the ego and makes people better.” The Torah is a system of drawing the upper light—the energy that corrects man, taking him from love of self to the level of love of all, altruism.

Today we are in a state of “standing before Mount Sinai” (Sinai means Sina, hatred). We’re beginning to understand that the ego is hatred toward others, that is, stands between us and prevents us from normal existence. We must stop using it, and instead turn it to good. That is why we were given the Torah.

Shavuot, the celebration of the giving of the Torah. It symbolizes the Torah’s revelation in the world, i.e., the bond between the Creator and humankind. ~3500 years ago the Creator revealed Himself to a group of people who wished to rise out of the ego (Egypt, Mitz-raim, concentration of evil) and into the quality of love and bestowal (Isra-el, straight to the Creator).

On Shavuot, we celebrate acquiring a connection with the Creator that allows us to rise out of this life, its lack of sense and purpose, above the animal existence. There’s no greater celebration than the Giving of the Torah, for everything begins from there! If not for this, our life would be wasted!

The Torah enables us to rise above our lives and attain the upper force, enter eternity, perfection, the upper dimension, based on bestowal rather than reception. Our world exists inside egoism, reception. The spiritual world lives for the sake of bestowal and is therefore eternal and perfect.

Giving of the Torah took place after the nation of Israel came out of Egypt, meaning after escaping the ego-intention and crossing the Final Sea, signifying separation from the ego and entry into the Sinai desert, where hatred (Sinah) is revealed between altruistic and egoistic desires

The commandment of love for the neighbor as for oneself includes all commandments, meaning all corrections that a person must perform in his ego-desire, in order to bring it to bestowal and become righteous. Inside of this love for people, he attains love for the Creator.
This is the Giving of the Torah.

Rabbi Akiva, the great sage of the 2nd Temple, “Love your neighbor as yourself is the general rule of the whole Torah,” its essence. The Torah was given to attain love for people. To receive the Torah, one must WISH to receive it! Studying Torah means learning how to love others. Are you ready for this? Do you really want it?

Nature knows no mercy. It is a system of laws, so if we don’t react today and answer nature’s demands, more powerful forces will come that will compel us to work on our correction, until we raise the connection in our society to the same level of integrality as all the other levels of nature.

The #quarantine is leading to unrest and tension in the society, which may result in an economic #crash. The pandemic is stripping the world of stability and security. If we don’t mend our relationships, we won’t solve the problem at its root—and then we won’t escape crises in all things, for we are bound by total dependence!

Medicine against the virus won’t help in our interactions—nature will demand of us an integral connection. It will force us to organize good connections between us. Only then will we be able to interact with one another, run businesses, profit from each other on the basis of our goodwill rather than greed!

Following the #coronavirus, the reshaping of society will begin. Redundant professions will disappear. People will be earning without working. The service industry will almost fully disappear! Only 10% of the population are required for the #economy!

#Governments will be forced to feed the other 90%! So we should hurry and change the foundations of society, lest we experience unrest and #wars.
#UBI

Hillel (Ancient sage. Shabbat Treatise 31:1): “The whole Torah comes down to, ‘What you hate, do not do to others.’ The rest is all commentary!” That is, all the commandments are intended to explain the execution of the commandment, “Love your friend as yourself.” Because in this one achieves adhesion with the Creator.

Rabbi Akiva: “Love your friend as yourself” (Vayikra, 19:18) is the general (klal) rule of the Torah (B.R. 24:8). “General” indicates parts that form the rule. In other words, all 612 commandments of the Torah are the sum of the rules that make up the one commandment “Love your friend.” All of the Torah is given in order to achieve it.

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

The economy is overheated, the need for labor is falling, 30% of the population is left with no means. In addition to the jobs necessary for society, another necessary one arises—the integral connection of society. This must be taught to everyone! In it lies the success of all changes!

There may be a way out of quarantine, but there is no way out of the economic crisis. If we do not adopt the NEP: support the enterprises necessary for society. Everyone besides those who work for societal necessities should be sent to mandatory education “new life skills,” which pays a stipend.

“The Creator and His name are one”—occurs when HaVaYaH, our ten, is correctly connected by all ten Sefirot with its properties, all their smallest inner sub-Sefirot, achieving perfect unity corresponding to the nature of the Creator, absolute bestowal.

It is necessary to relate to work in a group (ten) practically, effectively, striving to achieve the form and essence of a connection similar to the Creator. We are advancing toward this in 125 steps, more precisely mutually calibrating ourselves, achieving a perfect revelation of the Creator in our common Kli, in HaVaYaH.

The Creator always dwells in a group, and to the extent that ten friends set themselves up to correctly unite, interconnect, and bestow, the Creator reveals between them—starting to play their violin (King David’s).

How can we become similar to the Creator if we are egoists? We are egoists, but we can unite above our egos, in bonds of mutual bestowal, unity, and love, despite rejection. We are like an out-of-tune musical instrument that needs to be tuned in order to play correctly.

The Creator is absolute. He does not change, revealing as the force of absolute good relative to us. What changes is our perception, desire. Though we say that the Creator changes, the changes happen exclusively in us. In order to reveal the Creator, we must bring ourselves to equivalence with His qualities.

All the friends must agree to give themselves to the Creator—they unite together and form a single vessel with which to sense the Creator, where He can clothe. We want for the Creator to clothe in us and rule over us. We submit to the authority of the quality of bestowal.

America is trying to bring back its economic independence, which is at the mercy of China. Whereas China, having become a world exporter, is discovering the other side of the coin: everyone is dependent on her, but she is also dependent on everyone else. Both sides must understand what nature is trying to show us—that the solution lies in integration!

We’re witnessing the recognition of evil, unmasking and the demolition of a system that used to be progressive. It will still allow correcting the US economy, but its days are numbered. It does not meet the needs of a global world, because it is built on the ego of the powerful. And today it brings more harm than good.

In the current situation one major player, the United States, is trying to reduce the export of another major player, China. No one can be right as long as everyone thinks only of himself. Only in striving for the common benefit can one be right, and this is the next stage.

We’ve become viruses for the planet! A #virus is a parasite, when propagating it harms or even kills the host. This is exactly what #capitalism does without realizing it. Now we understand this, but we are afraid of the medicine—a societal change, a change of our lifestyle.

Nature develops its inanimate-vegetative-animal parts, and for the last thousand years it has been developing man for a greater common interaction. But during these couple of thousand years, man violated the principle of interconnection with his egoism.
Only with our poor connections do we cause viruses and global warming!

#Jerusalem is a special place, the spiritual center of the world. It is a certain point in the universe in which enormous spiritual forces are concentrated. A spiritual, non material point. This is what we must reveal.

#Jerusalem will be raised by the whole world—in our hearts! Jerusalem is the heart, the epicenter of all desires and aspirations. In their midst, a Temple will be erected, a state of desires when everything is based on mutual love for each other.
Inside it, an upper common force of love, “Creator,” will be revealed.

The more I integrate into the ten, imagining the Creator in it, the more I tune my soul, like a musical string relative to other strings. The group should set itself up like a violin so that everyone is like one person with one heart. And then the Creator will be revealed in us.

We don’t play the violin—the Creator plays the whole ten together. Lights flow in and out of our Kelim, giving rise to harmonics and glows at all levels. We feel it as the Creator’s conversation with us, He appears in our sensations according to the right connection between us.

The Creator dwells only inside the group. To the degree that the ten is tuned to the proper connection, mutual bestowal—the Creator is revealed between us. He starts to play on our violin, Malchut, which is King David’s. This is the Creator’s revelation to the creatures.

The Creator is an Absolute—He does not change, and is revealed to us as the force of absolute goodness. Our perception, desire, changes—and we say that the Creator changes, although the changes happen only in us. To reveal the Creator, we must bring ourselves to a state of equivalence with Him.

Try to imagine all of the still-vegetative-inanimate, existing in egoism, found on the 1st floor of the universe, in the nature of this world; while a person who attains the spiritual forces of bestowal and connection is found on the 2nd floor—where the Creator is revealed to him.
A man cannot correct his #egoism!

But when he empathizes with what he sees, wants no problems to befall the society—there will not be any. I need a society that I will envy, because by virtue of this envy I will be able to rise to its degree. If I can use envy in the right way, then with its help I will draw the upper light and it will elevate me to the degree of the friends. This is a real miracle!

If we look at the friends and see that they are greater than we are, then we will definitely grow as well. I need a society of many people, comprised of individuals who are great in my eyes. so I will see myself as the least of them all. Then I am guaranteed #spiritual progress.

All of our work till the end of correction is to attain an ever-greater degree of faith above reason. Altogether there are 125 degrees that we must ascend so that each time, our force of bestowal, called faith, will be greater than the force of reception, called reason. #kabbalah

On the degree of FAITH ABOVE REASON, the ruler is not me with my desires, feelings and mind, but only the Creator. This is a degree above me, where “There is none else besides the Creator, the good and does good,” the degree of faith.
“I believe”—I acquire the quality of bestowal, Bina, and accept the Creator’s authority.

Faith above reason is a spiritual degree that we must build above our degree of “reason.” Reason is rational logic, egoistic desire, the human mind, with which we operate by the principle, “a judge operates only by what his eyes see”—that is, what the 5 senses feel.

The feeling of constant failure leads a person to cease to think and ask for himself, and to start to ask—to really ask, the Creator, and not for himself, but for others, wishing to forget about himself and his failures. That is how he gradually reaches the quality of bestowal, try it!

The #coronavirus forbids us from being physically close to one another, demonstrating how our #egoism separates us from each other. It appears that the virus won’t leave us until we correct our inter-relationships from egoistic to #altruistic.  Time will tell.

Dr Michael Laitman TwitterIt will gradually become clear that there is no regular solution to the crisis by returning to the prior economic structure. We must rather create a new economy, with a new solution to inequality issues. Not patching up the old, but creating a new society, economy, relationships. Side by side with upbringing!

There is a need for the nations of the world to reveal the Creator. This will happen when the nation of #Israel reveals #Kabbalah to the nations of the world. From it, knowledge of the Creator will become clear to everyone. (Baal HaSulam, “Messiah’s Horn”)

Blows of nature separate us from activities that oppose spiritual development, to which egoism pushes us. We will return only to the necessary jobs. We shouldn’t try to restore ALL of the previous businesses. They are dying out. The Creator desires unity, in order to reveal His light within it.

The blow that comes from #nature is aimed at cutting us off from all unnecessary jobs, and thereby cleansing the environment. It frees society from unnecessary activities and thoughts, freeing us for what nature wishes—our spiritual development.
