Joy is a testament to bestowal, faith in the Creator’s greatness. And although there are no obvious reasons to be joyful, one believes that he receives everything only from the Creator and is hence in joy, to the extent of his faith in the Creator’s good governance of the world.

At first one sees fulfillment as the goal and result of his efforts, but afterwards, when he gains awareness of the process of correction, he sees everything in the reverse manner—that precisely the yearning for the Creator is his true fulfillment, which brings him joy!

The desire to reveal the Creator is determined by the importance of maintaining joy in the group from its spiritual work and the goal. This determines the sensation of perfection (Shlemut), which determines the degree of equivalence and of the Creator’s revelation to man.

One must be joyful at all times—due to the fact that he has received, from the Creator, a yearning for Him and considers this the most important thing. Being aware of the joy creates the Kli to receive the Creator’s revelation and attain adhesion.

The nation of Israel is timeless, but the state exists only if Jews engage in unity. Hence throughout 3,500 years, we have existed as a state for 75 and 66 years. Now we exist on the condition that we create ourselves as a nation and state. If we succeed—we will continue, and if we don’t—we will drift apart once again…

Every nation has its traditions, but the nation of #Israel‘s traditions correspond to 125 spiritual degrees, which the broken souls must transverse as they reunite to attain the goal of creation—full correction.
Hence these aren’t traditions from the past, but signs of the #future correction.

Jews as a nation are disunited. Only the nations’ hatred holds them together, like nuts in a sack. Likewise, non-Jews wishing to create a group for revealing the Creator, by uniting their points in the heart and studying Kabbalah—reveal reciprocal rejection, egoism, as Jews do.

“Jew” derives from the word “la’avor“— one crossing from the egoistic existence to the altruistic sensation of the Creator, the upper governing force that one can engage. Anyone can, who has such a desire. The others await being lifted to this condition.
This is why they subconsciously feel their dependency on the #Jews.
#Antisemitism

#Antisemitism is impossible to correct! But if you correct the #Jews, make them authentic Jews, who aspire for “Love your neighbor,” then anti-Semitism will cease to exist and anti-Semites themselves will turn into Jews. After all, a true Jew is not a nationality but one who incites love of others!

Outside the spiritual path, #Jews are worse than the others because the breaking and evil manifest in them to a greater extent. This is why they succeed in our egoistic world. Yet, by exerting efforts to unite that draw the upper light, they become better than others—the light to the nations.

The level called Man (Adam) requires bonding with others, unlike the animal level, where a more advanced feels more isolated. At the animal level, separation seems as acquiring independence, while at the level of Adam it is cancellation of self and allowing others to depend on you that produce independence!

Orientalist Dr. Guy Bechor has accused liberal American #Jewish #democrats of the increasing #Antisemitism in the United States.They inspire provocations against Trump and Israel. And despite their hate for #Israel, they will flee to it from the hatred they create.
I completely agree with Dr. Behor!

All the nations have to embrace unity and love of neighbor as the foundation of the society. And this is what is called true religion. But beyond this, every nation can practice its own customs, and no-one has the right to impede their doing so. (Baal HaSulam, The Last Generation)

My Thoughts On Twitter 5/9/19

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

We are obliged to create a broad education system that will bring everyone up to a national love between us and to the whole nation, which existed 2,000 years ago. And this is our primary duty, for the success of all our undertakings will rest on this foundation.
(Baal HaSulam #quote from The Nation newspaper)

Our only hope of becoming a nation and a state is to create a system of upbringing that will bring back, by any means, our national bonds that we lost throughout 2,000 years of exile.
(Baal HaSulam, The Nation)

David Ben-Gurion: The words “love your neighbor as yourself” encompass a higher message that includes the entire ethics of this world. The state of #Israel can realize itself only if this condition is observed in all spheres of social life.

Israel is a group of people united by the upper force of mutual bestowal and therefore existing at the level of the upper world, in the property of bestowal and “love your neighbor.” If they isolate themselves from the upper force, they exist in mutual enmity—their current condition!

A people is a community of naturally connected individuals, where everyone is prepared to serve this community. Every nation feels the presence of such a connection. Except #Jews. Their task is to create this type of connection among themselves by drawing the upper light.

#Israel is man’s desire “from himself toward the Creator,” which means—toward the whole world, for the Creator’s sole desire is to fulfill the creations. Therefore, man seeks to fulfill this single desire of the Creator—to delight the creatures and by doing so he yearns for the desire to bestow through others—to the Creator.

Initially everyone depends on one another egoistically. #Independence is when everyone depends on one another the right way. Independence from others is impossible, but rising above our ego-nature, liberated from its slavery, we can acquire love for everyone—this is independence.

Initially, we all depend on each other egoistically. Independence is when we depend on each other in the right way. There is no such thing as #independence from others; but if we rise above our ego-nature, having freed ourselves from its bondage, we can start loving everyone—this is what independence is.
#IsraelIndependenceDay

The world will never agree that #Israel must exist. The Creator makes it so that no-one wants to take our side. Our #independence is in the hands of an upper force. Nobody will accept us, for everyone feels that we are different. Nations would rather accept us as superior than as equal to all.
#IndependenceDay

In #Israel, there is a gathering of people with different cultures from across the world, each one seeing the nascent country according to his own conception, with no natural, unifying foundation to obligate everyone to be in a single desire.
(Baal HaSulam, The Nation)

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

The people of Israel were selected as a group of people capable of being a connecting channel between the Creator and all mankind. The correction must be actualized precisely in the nations of the world, while Israel is a transition to the common correction and exists for the sake of the rest—in order to bring everyone to correction.

Independence is easy to attain: it’s when I come closer to others till the state “love the neighbor as yourself” while revealing the highest force in nature, which governs everything, and which I then govern. Then not only will I be independent, I will feel that everything depends on me.

On Israel’s #IndependenceDay, my wish for the people is: let’s try, all together, to help one another attain joy, connection, reciprocity, a good way of seeing each other, so we’ll understand that we really do depend on one another—and that is where our independence lies.

#Twitter has banned Israel’s Defense Ministry @Israel_MOD from updating its Tweets on the number of rockets fired from #Gaza—as these are supposedly “repetitive.”
In the near future, we will see growing #Antisemitism, limiting our participation in all the mass media as the Creator’s pressure to correct us.
@Israel @IsraelMFA @IsraeliPM @JewishAgency #Jews #rocket #Israel

Let’s arrange a “truce” within the state of #Israel for a month: we will not quarrel and hate, but try to get closer. Love will protect us from enemies. Let’s recall what mothers used to tell us: “Be good children, stop fighting, be friends!” And #peace will follow!

The purpose of creation is intended for all creatures regardless of #race, #nationality, or other differences between them.” (Baal HaSulam. Arvut, 23)
But a group of people, #Israel, has been appointed to begin implementing the plan, which will convey its attainment to the rest of humanity.

The intention of the Creator is to unite the creation with Himself. One can learn unity only by working on it. Therefore, the created desire is broken and, starting with the call of Abraham, is uniting to attain the Creator, reaching the size of a nation. But the end of the correction is in unity of all mankind.

#YomHaShoah
It is written in the Torah: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” This is the source of all good and its absence is the source of all evil for our nation.
Only the connection between us or lack thereof is the source of love or hatred of the nations of the world for Israel. #NeverAgain #Israel #Holocaust

People in the world don’t exactly know what the reason for their hatred of #Jews is. But hatred of Jews is natural, it’s embedded in nature, which comes from the foundation of the world

Since Jews bear inside them the method for the world’s correction, and the more the world deteriorates, the more necessary this method becomes, the world starts needing this method more and more. #israel #Antisemitism

#Hitler wasn’t a biological anti-Semite, who felt a natural hatred toward Jews from within, but how he developed into an anti-Semite as he saw #Antisemitism as a means for power.
And also, as he received a favorable response not only from Germans, but from other countries as well, for his pressure on the #Jewish people.

The purpose of creation is to bring the creatures to their absolute fulfillment, which is to attain the Creator and all that is in store for them. But this can only be achieved by the presence of egoism and it’s defeat. Therefore, we should not destroy egoism, but use it correctly.

On this sad day of remembering the victims of #Holocaust (Shoah) of European Jewry, it is necessary to realize its nature, so that by commemorating the past we will ensure that this horror will never happen again. Kabbalah explains that the Creator expects unity from us and will push us toward it again …

The correction of the world is possible only by correcting the nations through the people of Israel, and for this reason, without realizing it, the peoples of the world feel that Israel owes them. The knowledge about correction will come from dissemination of Kabbalah to the world. (Baal HaSulam. Horn of The Mashiah)

The solution from the hatred of the nations of the world, invented by the Jews abroad, is to completely dissolve among the peoples of the world. They think that it will work out. But they are sadly mistaken. The upcoming history will show so …

The spiritual work given to the people of Israel consists of elevating the entire mankind along with itself, and thus the world meriting the complete prosperity for all. (Baal HaSulam)

Since Israel exists only for the purpose of correcting the nations of the world, their own correction depends on and is conditioned by the correction of the people of the world. (Baal HaSulam)

Know that until Israel is corrected up to the highest spiritual degree where the world is also corrected, Israel will not reach the level meant for it. And only after attaining the correction of the whole world will #Israel rise to the spiritual level they deserve. (Ramchal)

If we do not fulfill our purpose and do not correct the world, the nations of the world begin to correct it against us in the form of Amalek, Petliura, Hitler—only to force us to correct the world! (Rav Kook)

All the evil in the world is revealed only due to the delay in correction of the world, which Israel must carry out. It is revealed so that Israel will correct it, according to its great destiny to restore the whole world to its splendor. (Rav Kook)

In our generation, all the evil-doers of the world raise their heads and wish to destroy the people of Israel, as it is said: “Evil comes to the world precisely for the sake of #Israel,” since it is they who cause all the suffering in the whole world (by their inaction).
Preface of The Book of Zohar, 71.

#Hitler saw that he could unite the people through #Antisemitism, and that he gained a lot of support through his anti-Semitic actions, and these were the stepping stones to Hitler’s becoming an anti-Semite.

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

It is written in the Introduction to the #Zohar (item 71): If the outer part of the nation strengthens and lessens the inner part of the people of #Israel, the Kabbalists, then the outer part of the world nations, the vandals, intensify and annul their inner part, the righteous of the nations.

I’m personally acquainted with Dr. Guy Bechor and agree with him.
There is hope that the #Jews will understand that there are only two paths: to perish from the hatred of the people or to lead the correction of the world. The decision is ours. Anti-Semites are not at fault.
Blame those who can change the fate—the Jews!
#antisemitism

Evil and Good come into the world for Israel (see Talmud, Yavamot 631) and through Israel they act upon all nations of the world.
Israel’s behavior determines whether the world is governed by good or evil.
Observance of unity (mutual guarantee) in the nation and between it and the Creator determines the state of the world.

Nazism is a product of democracy and socialism that have discarded faith and upbringing. Hence in our time it is developing in every country, starting with democratic states. If the nation of Israel doesn’t set an example of unity for the nations, this will lead to World War III.

The hatred of the nations toward Israel comes from its mission to correct the common soul (desire) Adam for all, egoistic after the fall, desire to receive above the desire to give. By correcting its egoism, Israel will change the world nations’ bad attitude toward it for good.

In the general system of souls (Adam), Israel (Lirosh), head of the system, lays the foundation for growth of the whole system, the duty to develop correctly and lead all the nations of the world in the development of soul, until full correction in similarity to the Creator.

Isra-el means Li-Rosh, the head of the system of souls. They are the first to receive the signals and pass them on to the nations of the world. It is impossible to do without them, everyone depends on them. The system is purposely broken by the fall – egoism so that the nations of the world would obligate the people of Israel to carry out their mission.

The volume of the world debt of $243 trillion is 3 times the #GDP of the planet.
If it blows up it will result in crises, the system of connections will get out of control.
Solution: The Torah instructs us to write off #debts.
And since the entire #economy is egoistic, it should be limited to sensible #consumption.

Dr Michael Laitman TwitterThe path will be overcome by one who walks it—one who comes to lessons, observes conditions of the assembly of friends. Thus through joint efforts, gradually assembling the Kli, we collect the Sefirot, relying on the friends more and more, who are nearby, struggling not to fall asleep—but not leaving their place in the group.
The result is mutual guarantee!

Do not forget to see the Creator in the Pharaoh. For “There is none else besides Him,” one force that controls us, lovingly leading us forward, purposely scaring us so that we come out of egoism, disillusioning us not to fall for egoism’s traps. Thus we learn the Upper governance

Amalek creates obstacles in the form of slander about the Creator’s work, bestowal, and hence obliges one to rise by faith above knowledge, bestowal above reception, which is revealed to man. Thus, by going above knowledge below, having received the power from the Creator above, one can destroy Amalek.

Egoism (Amalek) leads an internal fight against one’s greatness of the Creator inside man, diminishes the greatness and complete control of the Creator over all the worlds and creatures, to prevent the revelation of man’s awe before the Creator.

“Remember what Amalek did to you upon leaving Egypt.”
Amalek (abbr: al-minat-lekabel)—the evil inclination, egoism.
It manifests itself at the exit from Egypt, when a person wants to leave egoism.

“Happy is the one to whom the Creator sends suffering,” for such an influence compels egoism to act. By gradually correcting it into the intention to bestow, we cause egoism to reveal an even greater breakage—suffering. Thanks to our helpers—haters!

Malchut is called Shechina, “Knesset Israel,” a gathering of souls aimed toward the Creator. It is necessary for the souls to correct its intention from “for self alone” to “for the sake of the Creator” and thus make it similar to the Creator until the unity of the Creator with the Shechina. This is called Tshuva (Tashuv Hey le Vav).

Just like the Creator made the nature to RECEIVE, and added an intention “for self alone”—egoism to it, so will He change this intention toward “for the sake of others”—altruism, so that we become similar to Him in this intention, in the nature to BESTOW.

This is the only means (klal) of the Torah to free us for the work of the Creator.
To achieve Lishma, the way out of the power of egoism so that all thoughts and actions are outside of oneself, for the Creator, which is against our nature, is only possible by uniting in the group up till the love of friends.
This is the only means (klal) of the Torah to free us for the work of the Creator.
