According to a poll of 4 mln people by the Univ. of Cambridge’s Centre for the Future of Democracy: democracy is ill, not coping with the main problems of our time, its efficiency and hence popularity has fallen. Egoism has exhausted all its forms, although it can repeat. The solution is to transition to altruism.

Similar to the Greeks who did so with mythology, the Romans turned Kabbalah into religion with elements of the earthly world, physical observance, for the sake of egoistic reward. All of this is a reflection of Kabbalah, spiritual actions, in the #egoism of our world.

The ancient Greeks adopted the Jews’ concepts of divine forces and began depicting them as statues and mythology. Ever since they parted ways with the ancient Jews, they have not invented anything else. All of their wealth lies in the past contact with the Jews. Having taken Kabbalah’s beginnings, they translated them into the language of our world.

Quran: “The Almighty needs no helpers.” This is correct since man takes no part in the right and left lines. Man’s participation is expressed in realizing the right and left lines, building a middle line out of them—in ascending to the degree of partnership with the Creator, becoming the same as Him.

#Peace between Israel and Arabs doesn’t depend on #Trump, but on the nation of #Israel. Israel’s mission is: in its unity, to connect all the parts of humanity’s common soul with the Creator. Israel’s prayer for connection of opposing forces will bring peace to the whole world.

With the new wave of #Antisemitism in the world, articles about its “causes” are appearing. The causes are silly: as if people hate Jews out of envy. But during times when the Jews were downtrodden, during pogroms and murders, the hatred was just as great. The real cause of the hatred lies in the inner sensation that the nations are dependent on the #Jews!

The light always appears only from the darkness (confusion weakness, anger, despair). And the greater the darkness, the greater is the expression of the light (clarity, energy, understanding). The group: how can we never forget about this?
How can we always stay connected with each other and with the Creator?

Nature is a developing Ego-organism. People must compensate for the Ego-force by having a good attitude to its 4 Ego-levels: still, vegetative, animate, and human. In the absence of compensation of the Ego-force, natural disasters manifest on all 4 degrees. Level 3 is viruses, level 4 is #Antisemitism
#HolocaustMemorialDay

Nature is the perpetually developing egoistic desire. Man must balance it out with a good attitude toward the still, vegetative, animate, and especially human nature. Kabbalah explains how to do this. #Jews are responsible for carrying out this rule of nature.

Schoolchildren in #Germany will have to visit concentration camps where they will learn about what was perpetrated in that country at the hands of their parents. But why it happened—that is something no one will be able to explain to them logically! But this is the manifestation of growing egoism on the “human” degree. It must be compensated!
#HolocaustMemorialDay

Nature’s unified system is undergoing constant EGO-development. People must consciously balance the EGO by good relationships. Otherwise signs of imbalance manifest in the form of wars, viruses and #Antisemitism—hatred for those who are able to remedy the imbalance. Although they don’t know that!
#HolocaustMemorialDay

We are facing a unique, inspiring mission: entry into the spiritual world, into the first sensation of the upper reality that is beyond our current thoughts and desires. This is a very exciting anticipation, an unearthly aspiration that is not from this world since we are entering nature’s true state.

The egoistic force doesn’t disappear, but gets balanced by the altruistic force that is added to it. We will operate with two forces of nature: the negative and positive, the egoistic force of creation an the altruistic force of the Creator, which dresses in us.

The Bnei Baruch group has discerned the last stages before entering Lishma (bestowal) and is standing at the threshold of spirituality. It is not easy to take the last step of Lo Lishma, and the first step of Lishma —this is the Machsom, the boundary of the upper world from the authority of egoism to the desire to enter the authority of the force of bestowal.

The Creator pushes every person forward, but only till a certain boundary, beyond which pressure is impossible. Otherwise it wouldn’t be a person, but an angel. One must place oneself in rigid, iron boundaries and not allow himself to step out of them.
That is how we give the Creator an opportunity to work with us.

When a person frees himself from inner isolation and wants to come out of himself to the friends, the group, the world, he acquires a new perception and feels that outside of him, there is a force, the Creator, who fills everything. To do this, he needs help from the group, the friends, since he is unable to come out of himself on his own.

A person who studies Kabbalah reveals all the forces that influence us on the spiritual degree. The Creator is the general force. We will find out how to establish reciprocal relationships: He-to me, and I-to Him. The condition of the body does not influence a person’s spiritual states since one attains the perception of the true reality.

Kabbalah is unlike other sciences, which leave a person in this world. A person does not suspect that he enters an open door into a new reality. People enter it not after death, but during life, by expanding their perception and thereby starting to perceive a reality that exists on another level.

Despite all of the summons and campaigns to counter #Antisemitism, it rises and falls like waves, following the laws of nature. Antisemitism is a law of nature, originating from the opposition of two forces in nature—bestowal and reception. Its purpose is to push egoists toward the quality of bestowal!
#HolocaustMemorialDay

It is known that in our times, the most egoistic souls are joining in the correction. Hence the stages of their correction are lengthier, the descents are more difficult. This makes the group’s support all the more necessary for every person the group’s care about every person’s state in their descents—attentiveness to the friends!

Man was created only from egoism and all his desires and thoughts are only for base things. Likewise he comes to equivalence with the Creator with all of his egoistic desires and thoughts—only by changing their intentions from “for myself” to “for the Creator.” As low as he was, that is how high he rises!

Egoism’s presence is necessary in spiritual work for the Creator. If a person has no egoism, he cannot have spiritual work! That’s because one comes closer to the Creator only above transgressions. Man rises above beast by virtue of egoism’s development in man.

The people of the world today are experiencing a state of uncertainty, the sensation of a world that is going away and the uncertainty of a world that is coming into being. Perhaps it is already here, but I am yet unable to feel it? How can I acquire a sensation of it, understand it, recognize it? For the first time, this is everyone’s problem.

The sensation of light always originates from the sensation of darkness and the Creator’s greatness is revealed. All work therefore begins from the sensation of darkness. Good is always revealed only from evil. The Creator is exalted in us only by transitioning from darkness to light. The most important thing is not to despair during the darkness.

The Creator is a perfect, altruistic system. In the connection between us, we are similar to it and we feel this system’s ideal, reciprocity, perfection. We connect positive and negative qualities inside of us, which complement one another. The Creator’s revelation emerges.

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

Unity of people is the vessel in which the Creator is revealed. The proper unification, where every person cares for the rest—is the only “idol” we are allowed to build in order for the upper spirit that fills the group, the ten Sefirot, to enter it.

My goal is the Creator; I want to care for Him the way He cares for me. But I have nothing that I can grasp since I don’t know who the Creator is, and I can fantasize about Him and build idols—that is what Abraham did. But then he realized that he could not reach the revelation of the upper force in this way.

The Creator clothes into my care for the friends, the ten. I cannot build a relationship with Him directly, but if I care for the friends, the Creator clothes into that care. I have practical work, which I can carry out and allow the Creator to clothe into it.

The Creator is concealed—He is like an impression inside our spiritual vessel, the ten. By wishing to bring joy to the friends, in order to thereby give pleasure to the Creator, I rise above self-care—all my care is transferred to the Creator. Care for the friends is the vessel (Kli), clothing over care for the Creator.

We cannot attain equivalence with the Creator by aiming at Him alone. It is rather by setting our perception toward mutual love in a ten that we aim ourselves at the Creator. Love for the Creator is realized and dwells within love for the creatures. This is the form in which I attain a connection with the Creator.

The system weighs out to each person according to the readiness of his soul. The Creator is a system, not an old man making a calculation for every person. Everything is wound up from the end to the beginning and therefore everything proceeds according to plan. At the same time, notwithstanding the plan, every person must strive to implement it on his own.

Any authority is egoistic. Society must be constantly taught to unite above both the particular and general egoism. Uniting society while its egoism is constantly growing—this must be the number one concern of governments. Otherwise everything is developing toward its own demise.

By using the world for the sake of delighting the Creator, you see a spiritual world. Your interactions with others and with the Creator become clearer—you reveal a network of forces, relationships, thoughts, intentions, and influences. This network is the only thing in existence. Our world “dissolves” in it since it doesn’t determine anything.

Dwelling in constant adhesion with the Creator is, during any action, thinking about what to do inside of you, that is, in the connections with the friends, inside your soul, in order to give pleasure to the Creator. It is greater the more I ask the Creator for help to correct my soul.

“From love for the creatures —to love for the Creator.” By giving pleasure to the friends, I give pleasure to the Creator. The pleasure I awaken in the Creator can be measured by the kind of correction I attained and the kind of lights I receive inside my corrected desire.

In spirituality nothing is ever passed to the upper one—everything is inside our Kli, it is the only thing we correct and fill, and we can therefore check what kind of pleasure we give the Creator, how we correct ourselves for the sake of unity and mutual bestowal to one another.

One who wishes to become independent has to attain a close-knit and correct connection with the Creator. Freedom in the upper world will give us freedom in this world, since it is not just a spiritual world, but it projects forces upon us that allow us to withstand anyone. Then no one will be able to harm us in any way.

Humanity needs the wisdom of Kabbalah to attain the revelation of the upper force. Mankind’s development was fraught with disasters, epidemics, and wars, in order to compel man to ponder the #meaning of life. Kabbalah provides the answer. By attaining the upper force at every moment, we will find out what we are living for.

“We are raised spiritually, but never lowered.” Our entire path, from the beginning of creation till the end, is non-stop ascent for everyone: those who succeed and those who don’t. At every second, we come closer to the full correction.
Although we often feel “descents” instead of ascents, we are nevertheless always advancing forward, according to the module.

– Where do the efforts to unite accumulate?
– Efforts to unite accumulate around the “heart” and form the “common heart,” a heart pouch.
#kabbalah #unity #wisdom

The spiritual vessel in which the Creator is revealed, is comprised of ten qualities that are absolutely opposite to one another. They unite with each other above themselves, while each one sees no possibility of uniting with the others. However, by ascending, “pushing away” from oneself, one unites with the others.

Attainment of unity is attainment of the Creator. The Creator is the unification of all opposites together, when they complete one another.
#kabbalah #unity #wisdom

There are no descents. The Creator wishes for humanity to advance while being aware that it is undergoing an ascent—ascent toward eternity and perfection. At every moment, man receives greater proximity to perfection, spirituality. Our work is to feel that we really are advancing in this way.

Our friends from Africa are the most important part of the common soul, like sweet dessert at the end of a meal. In our times, the vessel of the common universal soul is being revealed, and Africa completes its unification. This is why it is more important than any other piece of land on the planet.

I was impressed by the virtual Kabbalah convention in Africa that took place—a unique event that 18 groups in Africa took part in. This is a special continent that has waited thousands of years for Kabbalists to turn to it and start awakening it to link it to the upper force. This is a special sign.

Abraham is the connection between Bina and Malchut, the father of the nation, since he transmitted Bina‘s qualities to Malchut. Abraham broke the ego, the idols, showing that one must worship Bina, bestowal, rather than Malchut, reception. Bestowal becomes our God, and this is the whole difference between Abraham and Nimrod.

He thus revealed the method of connecting to the Creator and started teaching it to others— that is how the nation of #Israel came to be.
#kabbalah

Worshiping the Creator means revering the force of unity. All the commandments aim us at unification in the ten, so all ten people will reach union in the group. This is the essence, meaning and aim of the commandments, because we must correct the broken vessel and attain adhesion, Dvekut.

Starting with the “fall of man,” the egoistic desire appeared in Ancient Babylon, and #Israel is obligated to correct its egoistic desire to an altruistic one. This is the generation of Abraham, the force that divided humanity into two parts, by the appeal “Those who are with the Creator—come to me!” and “Love will cover all transgressions.”

The inhabitants of Ancient Babylon are called “the generation of strife.” This was a time when the entire common soul of Adam HaRishon divided into two parts: Galgalta Einaim and AHAP, the desires of the “head” and “body,” Israel and the rest of the nations of the world. Babylonian society split into these two camps.

#Israel, through its unification, transmits the light that reforms. The nations of the world awaken and begin their correction, demanding more and more light from Israel, until all unite in one soul, as written, “My house will be called the house of prayer for all nations” (Psalms).

All of humanity is one great vessel, desire, the soul of Adam HaRishon.
It cannot be corrected at once as a whole, and hence in order to be corrected, the vessel divides into Israel and the nations of the world. If the part of the soul that is #Israel is late with its correction, the “nations of the world” put pressure on it.

Every person who has received an awakening to spirituality in our times belongs to the part of the common soul called “Israel” (Yashar-Kel), “straight to the Creator.” He must hurry up with his correction since his primary work is to help the rest of the desires, the nations of the world.

The nations assert: the #Jews control the world all the evil comes from them. They feel that they are in the hands of the Jews, who are able to change the world. The Jews need to be corrected first. With the help of Kabbalah, we will turn hatred to love and will transmit it to the world. We will thereby change our fate and the fate of the world.

The Jewish nation has to feel that by uniting among itself, it manages the enormous system of the world by the good path. But if it doesn’t unite among itself, then the system turns around toward harsh unification by way of suffering.
