My Thoughts On Twitter 1/3/19

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

A created being is a desire. There’s still an intention, the yearning to achieve something specific, which drives the desire towards the goal. Inside the aspiration there’s a force that allows you to yield, in order to reach the goal.
Kabbalah: desire for evil and good is from the Creator. So, ask Him to reform you.

Isolation leads to stress and addiction. But as soon as the cause disappears, so does the effect.
People need to be connected — it gives them more pleasure than drugs. Therefore, drug #addiction (and all vices!) has to be treated by creating connections and dependence on the group.

Problems are the Creator’s good interference, given to rise above; and if you do, you reach the Creator!

My Thoughts On Twitter 1/2/19

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

2019 is a year of internal conflicts.
Countries are moving away from their ties. Governments are forced to go deeper into their problems: people’s lives aren’t getting any easier, but they don’t want to listen to their arrogant rulers any longer.
Everywhere, the authorities are increasingly disconnected from the people. Egoism… #NewYear

By 2019 the world strove toward nationalism and disunity—a sign that egoistic development in us threatens stability.
Egoism (and altruism) grows in waves (falls and rises). Hence, #Trump will win now, but is bound to lose in the #future.
He will be replaced by a period of correction of egoism. #politics

#Nationalists and #liberals will disappear, having failed to solve problems—they have no plan to move ahead in development.
Elite is no longer global; it lost power. Its opponents are not the peoples, but growing egoism.
Any manifestation of egoism has no place in the #future.
It needs correction—by education! #politics #society

10 years after introducing the euro, its existence is ending.
This indicates the pace of today’s human development!
By introducing the euro, corporations gained profit, but the EU population’s consumer ability grew slower than before the introduction of the euro. The elites won.

The evolving global #egoism, the basis of our nature, encourages governments to lower social support for society, deliberately worsen the living conditions of citizens, abolish the rights & protection of the poor.
#poverty
Kabbalah: this can be changed only by a radical reorganization of #society. #inequality

In words, liberals are fighting for unification and #Trump—opposes it. But nowhere have liberals succeeded in unity. Not a single left party!
Our ego-nature won’t allow us to unite.
But the world has to move toward unity!
The Upper governance is driving us into a dead end …
—a Good year! #NewYear2019

I would like to wish everyone what we lack most: connection—togetherness—love
For 2019 to be the year of actualization of the law “Love others as you love yourself.”
Let’s make this year a happy year in the history of the entire world! #NewYear

We don’t need to correct our #egoism. It’s impossible!
It’s just necessary to feel hatred to it as the source of all evil.
In that case Kabbalists will teach us how to attract the power of good to our egoism and reform it.
In nature there are Evil and Good …
… but to acquire the Good you have to want it! #Kabbalah

The world is trying different forms of unity, but it’s getting worse.
This indicates that we are already close to realizing the evil of #ego, our nature.
It’s our very nature that doesn’t allow us to unite.
Unity is possible only in rising above personal #egoism.
We must recognize it as #evil! #personaldevelopment

Nature pushes us to unite, and egoism pushes away. So we find ourselves between two forces: Pharaoh and the Creator.
Gradually, the Creator brings us closer to “Mount Sinai”: if we do not agree to unite, the world will bury us.
Gradually we will have to understand and accept this.

Liberals and other leftists calling for unity will lose.
Trump will lose also.
Nature develops so as to bring all its parts to a single connected system.
The solution is to reform egoistic human nature to true altruism, and then to unite all the parts into the system called Adam.

The main focus is on explaining how to develop and organize groups, which will draw the reforming light. This is the only way to educate people.
It isn’t a distant prospect, but an urgent need to be realized in the masses. By doing so, we’ll feel how society is reformed from day to day

The world is gradually realizing that there will be no bright liberal #future! #Democracy‘s triumph is canceled.
I’m glad, because the laws of our egoistic nature oppose it.
They’re aimed at a person recognizing the evil of egoism.
So much so that he will wish to change for the good.

The world went through a digital revolution and revealed an #ecological catastrophe. It’s time to change the social contract. But no one can create it because the new world has tied together egoistic human beings into a single system.
They wanted to establish a common market whose workers are slaves, yet the uprising of those who were thrown under the bus as well as immigrants against the elites is culminating. #EU #climatechange

Q—How can a person be taught about the #Holocaust so that he wants not to forget it?
A—He needs to understand that he gets more for knowing about the Holocaust, why and how it happened. It’s necessary to explain that hatred is rooted in his nature.

Another force is becoming revealed, more powerful than “the Pharaoh”—the power of bestowal, unity, love. If you hold onto it, you can rise above your own egoism, its evil rule. You can control two forces yourself, receiving and bestowal, since each of them controls you separately!

Through the realization of the evil of egoism, we begin to sense that there is another power to turn to. Egoism demonstrates how it rules and destroys our entire world: personal life, family, society, the environment. The “Pharaoh” grows mad and sets us against himself on his own.

2019: Big economic problems created by the US #FederalReserve, to throw the country and world into a global crisis—then everyone will want to replace #Trump.
Though Trump follows the law of natural development, people aren’t acknowledging the evil of #egoism ….
… the readiness to eradicate it. This is the next stage in the development of the world. #NewYear

No-one is to blame for the #Holocaust. It’s just the failure of the Jewish people to fulfill their historic mission. As soon as the people falls, anti-Semites and fascists take the front stage.
— And what is the #Jewish fault?
— That they didn’t want to unite, as Rabbi Akiva said: Love your neighbor as yourself.

We are at the mercy of the egoistic nature. But we are granted the opportunity to escape its power—by revealing the greatness of the Creator against our ego. Now we live by the greatness of our egoism and work for it. It is the leader, inseparable from our “self.”

Q—What needs to be done to prevent the #Holocaust happening again?
A—Search for the root, why it happened, and then we’ll learn how to ensure that it won’t happen again.
Q—Do #Germans need to learn about this root?
A—Yes. It has to be introduced so that it doesn’t demean but elevate them.
Then they’ll accept it.

40% of the #German population have never heard of the #Holocaust.
—Why do people not want to know of the Holocaust?
—It’s humiliating, reproaching; it stings a person not for his past but his fathers’ & grandfathers’; he won’t cling to something unpleasant.
It will automatically rub off his memory.

All troubles and all good things come to the world through Israel since it is governed through Israel. If they unify themselves and the world with the Creator, abundance will come into the world. If #Israel lacks unity, it causes a break-up with the Creator and suffering throughout the world.
Me’Or Eynaim/Pinchas

The path of realization begins —that I and egoism in me aren’t the same thing, but that it exists separately from me and keeps me in submission—this, in fact,  is the realization of its evil. The next step is breaking away from it—in such cases when I see that it acts to my detriment.
Then—act contrary to it.

Everyone is looking forward to the approaching year 2019 with pessimism, hopelessness, and a desire for some kind of change. The reason for this mood is that the people despair of the #EuropeanUnion, compared to the expectations they had for it …
… are despaired of the connection between the egoists and democracy in general. The period of disillusionment is coming. It’s up to us to make it short and easy …. #NewYear2019

The crisis #France is undergoing isn’t economic. It’s a split of society resulting from 30 years of #globalization, lack of communication between the layers of society. Globalization has led to the attrition of industry in entire regions of the country.
Raising #wages won’t fix it! Society is neglected!

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

After the breaking of the common soul into private souls, the glue/Isra-El between them (intention to bestow) turned into its opposite (intention to receive) and separates the parts from each other. Hence, as they develop, they sense Isra-El as interfering with unification, harmful.

One must keep renewing the connection with the Creator. The desire for the Creator I had a moment ago isn’t sufficient. A new empty space is revealed in me, which I must correct for bestowal. It needs to be filled with Him. It’s the place of my adhesion with the Creator …
… the place of my soul.

I don’t feel the Creator in this area, but I myself put Him to rule in this empty place. The Creator gradually reveals one void after another in me. This is, in fact, a spiritual desire, a soul. I now reveal the human rung of desire, the area of my soul, the place of adhesion …
with the Creator.

Two clashing camps in the #USA: Powell—all for the elite, and #Trump—all for the country. The clash is great! It is constructing Trump’s actions. The clash benefits everyone—the people and the country!

Each moment’s given as a chance to advance. If I’m sensitive (in a group), then I always see the opportunity of a new connection with the Creator. Falls and rises alternate with great frequency, as in modern technology, in order to be able to finish the correction …
… before the end of this life, and to not reincarnate.

Having lost the connection and revealed a void for a new one, we don’t despair, but feel the Creator’s invitation to a new connection with Him. And if the fall is deeper—He wants a greater connection. With the group’s support, the darkness of separation will give way …
… to an even a greater light of adhesion!

—What is the solution for #Europe?
—Europe is the most advanced continent.
The solution for the crisis is in the proper, voluntary unification. This can be done if a single #European #government is formed, which can influence all of Europe.

Having invested time and energy with no result, one loses hope to achieve the goal, and grows stronger—until the need for adhesion with the Creator arises—then He fills the desire. It equals the longing for adhesion with the Creator, so that all aspirations are to bring him delight.

Reaching the stage “not for self,” when such a calculation is absent, one is rewarded with the intention to cancel himself and serve the Creator, feeling His greatness, he forgets about his needs, like a candle before a torch, before the Creator in the property “bestowal for bestowal.”

Plugging into the ten, into my duty to become a uniting element, I help the friends to achieve this property. Each ten serves as glue between the tens. So we must become the glue for all mankind. This is the only condition to be called Isra-El, nothing else. This is our mission.

When separated from the Creator (in conflict at work or family, or just irritated), we must see the Creator’s condition to connect to Him, not by cancelling the problem, but by rising above it, in the importance of being in touch with the Creator ….
…. which is greater than the trouble sent by Him. The magnitude of the problem measures the strength of the connection.

To aspire to the Creator consistently, whether there is or isn’t a desire to do so with no difference between the states. And if there is a difference in what state to aspire to the Creator, I must ask the Creator to help, so that there is no difference—and so merit perfection.

When feeling close to bestowal, that it is the Creator who drew him nearer to it, one should praise the Creator for pulling him out of a low state and into a spiritual sensation. It is important not to stop but to keep praising the Creator, to be honored with the higher steps.

The world nations’ desire is egoistic, as the Creator said: “I created an evil inclination.”
But Isra-El stands out in Babylon, “a people of the people,” in order to achieve the quality of bestowal, to become Isra-el, “the Creator’s people”—to unite all nations into one.

At the time of the Temple, #Israel developed as a group, a special people.
Its entire history before the exile circulated around the struggle for unity.
Now this group must unite in order to trigger the movement of nations toward unity. “World nations, unite.”

#Trump raised the French to revolt. He set an example to resist the cost of “ecology.” Scientists created an “ecological” campaign scaring the masses with the end of the world, thereby demanding investments into themselves; #climatechange #ParisAgreement
They’ve been at it for over 30 years, with no result from their work! And now the masses demand to be focused on! #scientists

The Temple fell because Isra-El cannot exist in isolation and must spread among nations. But not to dissolve in them—to determine the nature of future unity. When bestowal sets in the world, Psalm: “My house will be called the house of prayer for all nations” will come to pass.

Lack of joy is a sign of one’s lacking the sensation of the Creator. So I must ask the Creator to feel His greatness and regret that I don’t. Rejoice that you suffer because of the lack of spirituality, and not material things. Rejoice that the Creator gave you this yearning!

The first decree of a new single European government should be a statement of the common mandatory, all-European education of a unified European (united person). Based on this, the conditions for accepting the immigrants and suchlike, will be clarified. And everything will work out

Actualizing bestowal thru the Creator’s greatness is called Li-Shma, just for bestowal, not a reward. Bestowal is done only in the measure of the greatness of its Beneficiary, which gives strength to do the work. Inability to raise the Creator’s importance gives no strength for it.

Israel is not a nation; it belongs to the world; cosmopolitan to all reality since it’s meant to tie it into a single system as before the breaking of the Soul. Hence many Jews are nostalgic for unity and want to achieve it, feeling a “communistic” yearning for perfection of nations.

When the common soul is broken, selfishness is revealed—#Israel in its inverse, negative form, unable to unite souls. Parts of the Soul, the nations of the world, are not selfish. Only Israel can play a positive or negative role. The rest do not have a free will.

The time of leaders is over. The time of gatherings is coming. It requires strong-spirited people who can agree among themselves, unite, rise above their self-interest, build a system of forces among themselves and start governing humanity together.

One’s desire to work for the Creator reveals self-interest and one feels empty. This void needs to be filled with His greatness. Ask for faith in the Creator’s greatness above reason, to walk in low thoughts as the best condition, with joy. Katnut must be the primary and permanent state.

Only by feeling the Creator’s greatness is the heart tamed, so increase trepidation. And the questions are to lack the Creator so He may open your heart and eyes, to be worthy of His greatness. A manifestation of sin each time makes you climb the steps of the Creator’s greatness.

The Creator becomes necessary to receive answers, therefore you must walk by faith above reason.
Then you see you are exhausted & need the Creator.
Only the Creator can give strength to walk by faith above reason.
What the Creator gives is, in fact, called the Creator’s greatness.

To exalt the Creator is to ask Him for strength to walk by faith above reason. To do so, don’t answer your questions with the earthly mind, but ask the Creator to answer. The ego calls to follow the commandments while faith above reason obliges to walk disregarding what ego knows.

While in descent, think: if the Creator awakened you—how ready you would be for spiritual work.
Imagine, as if you feel the Creator’s presence—how then you would thank and praise Him!
So must you now thank and glorify the Creator, as if you have already been honored with perfection.

If the group intends to delight the Creator, they can add in the work by adding in the Creator’s greatness, for in the measure of His greatness they can cancel themselves before Him and do everything for His sake. The Creator’s greatness will oblige to do work for Him and enjoy it.

The group must talk about the greatness and importance of the Creator because to this extent they’ll be able to:
—feel the desire to cancel oneself and unite with Him,
—go by faith above reason that He rules the world by good governance,
—start loving the Creator with all your heart and soul.

Try to ensure that the only reward for all your efforts is a sense of the Creator’s greatness, all prayers —to feel His greatness, for the Creator is hidden by the first restriction  [Tzimutzum Aleph] and one can’t appreciate His greatness; hence, we ask the Creator to feel it, especially while studying.

Starting spiritual work we want to get Ohr Pnimi [Inner Light] requiring pure Kelim [Vessels]: Tzimzum Alepsh—screen [Masach]—Ohr Hozer [Reflected Light]. But Malchut receives from Ohr Makif, i.e., a beginner without likeness to the Creator can receive from Ohr Makif if he raises importance of Ohr Makif as the Creator’s …
… receives distant emanation as correction.

Isra-El are those who strive for the perfect state, in which they were prior to the breaking of the system Adam. A desire to feel the integral system and the force acting in it, binding all together, is called Isra-El, Yashar-El —”straight to the Creator.” Regardless of nationality.

Evolution of broken nature, without Israel’s work, is called ego-development. Without applying Kabbalah, Israel can’t fill its role as glue binding nations. Israel is who is conscious of this mission. The nations are pushing Israel to unity and Israel is fulfilling it among nations.

After the breaking of the soul of Adam, the fall into sin, Israel, who unified peoples, vanished, and their egoism began to manifest. This process goes on for centuries. Today, division of nations requires the glue. This will show in growing #Antisemitism.
#Israel must realize its mission.

Israel in the common soul of Adam tied all its parts prior to breaking, so Israel has no place in the world; its mission is to bind all nations. This bond gives everyone a higher life, filling space between us and defining everyone’s aspiration toward the Creator yashar-kel = isra-el.

Democrats view a #Mexico border wall as immoral. But it’s immoral not to build it and solve the problem at the expense of the citizens of the country that has 40 million poor. Crisis begins. The country must protect its citizens.
The #Torah says: the poor of the city are more important than others!

YEAR 2019 predictions: Collapse of the global world, despite liberals’ efforts; degradation of societies and states; an increase in #isolation. #predictions

YEAR 2019 predictions (continued): Collapse of the world #financial system; strengthening of the US industrial #elites; abolishing of the international US treaties; crash of #StockMarket; possible #Trump‘s assassination, in order to launch a depression and unrest in the US.

Long economic growth with technology and population growth is giving way to a long recession in the economy, population, innovations, and global demand. Excess of production capacity and debt will exacerbate the decline. It will go on until a world war or the correction of humanity.

The right suffering aims us toward the goal of creation, toward inclusion in the group. Without it, it’s impossible to advance correctly. Like in a radar system, the rocket is always adjusting, so we must check and adjust instead of perceiving it as suffering.

The degree of suffering depends on the greatness of the goal. As great as the goal is in my eyes and as far as it is, this is felt as suffering.
The magnitude of suffering propels me forward. If I see the goal and know that I have the method to achieve it …
I am sure that I am on the path of light. The suffering illuminates my path.

How do you use yourself for advancement?
When you are in the group and see that your qualities are against unity.
There’s not one quality that connects you to the friends.
You are absolutely different, pushing them away from you.
This is the opportunity to unite!

Carrying out the commandments means observing the conditions of unifying into one soul, Adam. It comprises many egoistic desires, which must create altruistic connections among them and in that connection become similar to the Creator, the quality of bestowal.
Until adhesion by intention!

In our world everything is ruled by money. It’s likewise in the spiritual world.
In Hebrew money is Kesef, from the word “Kisuf,” covering—to the degree egoism is covered by the quality of bestowal, a screen, Masach, Mehaseh—covering, ego—reception turns into bestowal …
… spiritual capital is earned—the light is revealed.

Wishing to replace the aim of the work, to give pleasure to the Creator instead of oneself, one needs faith in the Creator, attainment of His greatness. Because to that extent he will be able to bestow to Him.

Hence one must pray for the Creator to reveal His greatness, which gives energy to efforts with the intention for bestowal.

There is no energy for spiritual work since there is no sensation of the importance of serving the Creator. Since I don’t know Whom I am giving to. There is no knowledge of the Creator’s greatness, of what a joy it is to serve Him. I don’t feel His greatness…and there’s no energy to work. But to the degree of the Creator’s greatness, it is a pleasure to serve Him. If only we could get such forces!

To have energy to bestow with no reward, for the work itself to be the reward—one must have faith in the Creator, i.e., faith in His greatness. Without faith in His greatness, there is no energy to bestow. When feeling the Creator’s greatness, you work without any reward.
The reward is in the work itself, service is wealth.

The decline started a long time ago—but for now it’s removing the cream and not the bare skin off the elites. If Trump takes control of the Fed from the financiers, we will take the path closer to unity. If the financiers win, we’ll take the path of suffering.
In any case, the solution lies in educating the population to unite everyone.

Crisis in society shows in its mental state. The reason for the crisis is—that we are designed to live in society but isolate ourselves from each other. Instead of cooperation from an early age—competition, jealousy. Hence mental problems, drug addiction. Correction is in closeness!

Spiritual work comes down to a change in #values. At first, my state seems hopeless. But gradually, the values change in me, and I feel the same state as good. I feel that I rise above my old impressions, and now I feel they were good.

Spiritual growth occurs precisely through the opening of emptiness in a person, felt by descents. The void must be filled with the Creator’s greatness, in the group. All progress is in finding and filling voids revealing unsatisfied desires and filling them with the power of the Creator.

In reality, the field that’s revealed to us in descent as darkness, is filled with light, the will to bestow, but not wishing to bestow, we feel bad!
It’s like Pharaoh is in Egypt—instead of the Land of Israel and the Creator in it—this depends only on our perception, desire.

If each person perceives upper light personally, it appears black from Malchut.
But if we want to rise to Keter, then on the path from Malchut to Keter we must unite into a ten. Then it’s not Malchut, but Keter that starts to shine for us, not with black but with white light.
It all depends on unification.

In our world the forces of bestowal and reception mutually exclude each other, try to annul one another. But Kabbalah, the wisdom of reception, explains how to attain the balance of two opposite forces, where they will complement each other—then, between them, spiritual life becomes possible.

What’s a descent? The Creator frees another layer of desire from ego’s power and it makes us feel bad. Because we are used to enjoying inside that desire, and now we can’t. But He gives us a chance to fill this emptiness with His presence, the force of bestowal, faith above reason.

We must connect everything taking place in the world to our growing egoism. It evokes revolution, progress —and decline, similar to the periods when Jews lived in Egypt. Today the world is about to come out of egoism, to realize that ego is evil and the cause of all ills.

Pressure on the Jews is growing.

There are two camps in the USA:
Powell, everything for the elite, and Trump @realDonaldTrump, everything for the country, have clashed.
How beautiful:
since precisely opposition against Trump builds his actions.
The system of opposition works—and the people, the country, win!

There are just two forces—bestowal and reception. All reality, the whole world, is based on them. #Kabbalah teaches how to bring them to balance, to the middle line. Its stabilization on all degrees, from zero to full egoism—this is the subject of Kabbalah.

All contradictions are only between creation and the Creator, between us and Him. We must balance them out, bring them to the 3rd line, where we coincide with the Creator with our intentions. This is the goal of creation—absolute adhesion between two absolutely opposite forces.
