Within the Jewish nation there’s Kabbalah—the method of uniting the nations. As soon as they unite, the positive force radiates outwards to the whole world. But if they let the egoistic force rule them, then irrational hatred, #Antisemitisim, awakens in the whole system…
… the light of redemption, the quality of bestowal, purifies me.

#Hanukkah is attained by the victory of the light of bestowal, Bina, over darkness, reception, Malchut. The desire to be like the Creator, to attain unity against one’s ego. Although the heart, the Temple, is broken, I find the point in the heart, a jar of oil, and I light it …
… in countries and nations.

Even if we attain abundance in the world, we’ll make life unbearable with our horrible relationships.
And when we’ll wish to come out of hatred to love, a war will break out between us.
We will understand that the only solution, to unite, isn’t in our power.
We need the upper force of unity.

The gap between the rich and poor is growing. #Unemployment is growing every day. This is the plague of the world. Salvation lies in instituting a mandatory income for every person in need, educating EVERYONE about social unity…
… and shifting the mass media to explaining the need for social works. #inequality #UniversalBasicIncome

We’ll start to understand that this was done deliberately from the beginning so we’ll need the upper force’s help—and we’ll cleave to its quality of connection and love, till full adhesion among us and with it. That’s how we will reveal the Creator—the only force in the world

It’s none other than the universities today that have turned into a breeding ground for dissident anti-liberals. Disappearance of freedoms leads to the demise of society. Society develops only within free discourse.

But today it’s none other than universities that are killing enlightenment
Egoism is growing and killing living matter!

Euro-populism changes society’s political structure against the political elites, periphery against the center. Greedy authorities, capitalistic elites aren’t aristocrats, changing their ideology and ideals, accepting marginal, ethnic, religious and sex minorities.

This horde is the basis of the global #elite, destroying the foundations of civilization.

The response to mounting Anti-Semitism worldwide shouldn’t be an explanation to the Anti-Semites, but an explanation precisely to Jews that only by our unity will we affect the good unity of the whole world and its kind attitude to us. That’s the only solution to the problem!

To keep being the world’s leading economy, the USA must start re-educating the population–toward a unified society. Otherwise the social divide will bring about increasingly greater economic decline and increase in social expenses. Brexit will start inside the #USA.

The #EU couldn’t agree on a budget. Everyone is unhappy with it, but each state for its own reasons. Such conflict promises a loss of management and immersion of EU into chaos.
Not to gloat, but I warned back in the 80s that the EU is doomed …

.. since the #future is being designed by egoists with no concern for upgrading people’s upbringing.

But I realize:
This is an opportunity from the Creator
To think about Him instead of myself …
I am empty of spiritual desires…

While thinking about yourself, you can’t think about the group and the Creator
So try not to think about yourself and not to ask for yourself
Cut off any thoughts about yourself as soon as they appear
My request to the Creator is: to make a restriction so my “I” will cease to exist
Then I’ll start building it…

The end of the #liberal global order is clearly visible. Its crisis is a crisis of trust on the part of society. Liberals did not create an image of the common #future—and this is the cause of their demise!

The US expected chaos on the streets after the #elections if Democrats lost. But everyone calmly accepted the election results.
Mainstream #media lie to win, exemplifying blame of the opponent for everything in the name of liberal demagogy … even more audacious than Russian #propaganda.

Creation, Beria, is from the word “Bar“- outside.
Creation is the state of desire when it can be above its nature of receiving. What it loves about the Light isn’t the pleasure, but its noble intention of bestowal, acting above one’s interest.

To raise creation to His degree of bestowal, to equivalence with Him,
the Creator takes direct pleasures away from creation,
and gives it the ability to fill itself with bestowal instead of reception.

Spiritual work isn’t against our animate nature, but about rising above it to higher aims, a different state. Don’t fight ego-nature, but gain the quality of bestowal above it. Build a new degree instead of trying to destroy the old one. This sets #Kabbalah apart from religions!

We can divide #reality into many parts, feel their connections, “check harmony with algebra,” quantitatively describe our sensations and learn to work with that which was initially just a feeling, #egoistic desire, “evil inclination,” and is then managed by light.

Once the Jewish people rise to a higher level of human connection, the nations will replace their hostile attitude toward them with a friendly attitude. As a result, a new Renaissance will emerge — in #Europe and across the world.

The spiritual realm is ruled by the system 10=1; less than 10 doesn’t exist. The Creator said, “I came, but there isn’t a single man.” This means there are people, but they aren’t united as one. Hence there’s no spiritual quality and the group doesn’t exist in the spiritual sense.

The plan of creation contains the entire program of correction till the final state. But the system doesn’t get launched without our consent. We don’t create anything new, “There’s nothing new under the sun,” but we attain and launch the stages of correction.
The novelty in the system is me, who manages the correction.

In the initial state of the soul of ADAM, the capacity of the parts’ connection on the NaRaN degree is 620 times less than the planned final one since it was connected only by bestowing desires. Whereas we attain the full connection of all 600,000 parts of the soul …
… with receiving desires by the light of NaRaNHY.

In the beginning the system of the common soul of Adam HaRishon broke and disintegrated into parts. These parts are us, and we must look for ways to reunite. Inside each broken part, instead of light there is a part of the screen, a spark pulling us toward unity.
We must “fan” it and unite.

Moving toward each other, sparks of the parts of the soul unite into families, communities and nations, and then connections as well as quarrels arise between them. They invent religion, science and cultures. Eventually they start to feel that nothing allows them to connect properly,
and thus they come to Kabbalah.

Throughout all times people aimed to build a better future. This is why they got married, studied and built things. Most importantly, they had plans! Today the world’s finite nature is becoming apparent: terrorism is heroic and drugs are used to foster the imagination.

The #future is gone. This befits a beast, but not a human being…

The continually growing egoism is bringing Europe to the inability to find common solutions. Europe aspired to unite, but today nationalistic trends are manifesting. Germany is full of refugees and fears losing its stability and identity. Europeans are losing their place in the world.

#BlackFriday
Purchases have become society’s number one value. A person feels more confident by buying something that’s pleasant to his ego. This way he acquires confidence in life.
However, as we develop, we aspire to a more universal fulfillment rather than a temporary one..

Kabbalah is the wisdom of reception, fulfillment.
Absolute fulfillment can be attained only by constant renewal. This is possible if we are united and fulfill one another. The fulfillment is felt as being unlimited—the sensation of an eternal world instead of #BlackFriday.

A corrected system of relationships requires people with an integral upbringing.

Black Friday: 90% of manufactured products are unnecessary. But the production can’t be stopped since there is nothing else to occupy the people with and producers can’t work without economic stimulus. The world would stop.

We’re running away from ego, Pharaoh’s slavery, to become free from him! To learn to bestow, work with the light above Pharaoh’s rule
The escape is the first anti-egoistic screen,
Egypt remains in me, but I come out of it and its rule and  build the land of Israel by turning ego to love.

If we don’t agree to remain in egoism, if we hate it and try to come out of it, we reveal its power over us and that we are in exile from the spiritual state—connection. One that doesn’t wish to build mutual guarantee reveals Pharaoh as being good and doesn’t wish to run away …
… from him—that person is Erev Rav!

All our energy goes toward avoiding thinking about it, replacing it with worship of health—the new religion.

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

Realization of our nature’s evil is escalating: we no longer expect progress to bring improvements, development voluntarily leads us to mutual extermination. Things aren’t going to get any better! We are quickly sliding down to a doomed future.
All our energy goes toward avoiding thinking about it, replacing it with worship of health—the new religion.

Inside every person, egoism is dressed as Pharaoh, not allowing him to come out of it. By attempting to unite and break out of it, we strengthen egoism, Pharaoh gets richer and won’t let us go. But we start hating egoism. Eventually we discover our impotence in the face of egoism
… together with the need to connect to the Creator.

The law of mutual guarantee is simple: I must care for 9 friends and they for me. By that we determine our lives and no one can destroy our system, break our unity. Each one depends entirely on the 9, and on no one else.

All the forms in which we wished to succeed spiritually, but failed, come back and adjust us, pressuring us to be corrected. Hence be wary of building the wrong connections in the group to avoid awakening a negative reaction from the system.
Aspire only to the whole group, the ten as a whole.

I use myself as a machine operated by the group’s desire from within. Then I’ll reveal that it’s the Creator’s desire, who’s inside me, operating me. By carrying out actions, I’ll start to attain Him and will become equal to Him. That’s how the Creator clothes in creation.

We don’t know what the right connection is. We have no premises for it. All we have left is to follow Kabbalists’ advice, build connections between us that are called spiritual. In them we’ll reveal the force of bestowal and love called “the Creator”

First we must reveal the deficiency of the left side, from which we will understand what its opposite should be like, as in, “advantage of the light from the darkness,” and we can then build the right line. But the right connection is upon the two of them, in the middle line.

We can’t rise to the degree of love and bestowal until we reveal hatred for egoism. Above it we build the right line: unity, love: “Love will cover all sins.” If there are no transgressions, then there’s no love!

Building new senses for revealing the spiritual world means building connections between us in which we can reveal the Creator and thereby give Him pleasure. This new perception is called “faith above reason,” the degree of Bina, bestowal, the altruistic intention.

Two opposites must exist in one will to enjoy. That’s the only way this desire can take on its spiritual form. Two opposites do not cancel one another out, but complement and support each other. Between them we will reveal the Creator.

Last Friday 170 new students from all over Israel came to our International Kabbalah Academy center. These students recently began studying Kabbalah in Russian.
I wish all the new students successful progress and ascent in their spiritual development!

We learn to attain the Creator by His actions in us.
This is attained as the third factor that reconciles two opposites:
my qualities, created by Him, and
His influences inside them.
From these, we build ourselves.

If there’s no sensation of Me and the Creator, it means the state isn’t discerned yet. There’s no analysis of two opposites in the sensation, in feelings, awareness and reason. Lack of sensation and awareness compels us to complete them until we reveal the Creator.

Everything is only spiritual. But it divides into our world, where we don’t reveal the source of our sensations, and the spiritual world, where we reveal the source of our sensations. There’s no state that doesn’t include two opposites, creation and the Creator.

Creation experiences the sensations that the Creator evokes in it, and attains the Creator by His actions in it. That is how we develop an inner sensitivity to the Creator and understanding of what He wants so we’ll feel His direct and opposite forms and the difference between them

On all 125 degrees of the correction ladder, we only annul ourselves, aspiring to the state of 0, embryo (Ubar) under all the changeable conditions. By turning itself into a zero, the group grows more and more in that connection, revealing the whole system of the universe in itself

How do I make my desire like the Creator’s desire?
Try to enter the neighbor’s desire and place it above your #egoism, making it more important than your desire. That’s how we can learn to replace one nature with another, overcome ourselves, go above our own opinion ….
reason and feelings.

We need to reveal the source of goodness and love inside our unity—it will fill the world. This source is between us, in the connection to which the wisdom of Kabbalah brings us.
The source of goodness and love, the key to #happiness, is in our hands.
Therein lies our choice, instead of purposeless existence!

Any sensation consists of two opposite forms. After all, we are creature—we feel ourselves (our qualities) and something inside them. My sensation consists of the “perceiver” and the “perceived.” The perceived is always the Creator …
There’s None Else Besides Him, in concealed form. He brings about all sensations in me.

One is included in the upper system only by lowering oneself, developing the quality of bestowal. The Kli grows by reverse dependency, starting with zero and annulling more and more. A sign of annulment is “joy in emptiness.”
Being in the Upper One means gaining freedom from one’s “self,” absorbing Him from outside, rather than in egoism.

“I sat in His shadow, and His fruit was sweet” (Song of Songs)
While “being in the shadow,” you can taste the fruit in the quality of bestowal many times greater than the spark of light in the quality of reception. In the will to enjoy you can grasp only a spark,
whereas the pleasure of bestowal is 620 times greater, the light of NaRaNHY

Don’t despair from being thrown from egoistic perception of reality to a seemingly altruistic one. Precisely this conjugation of opposites leads to revelation of reality. One must patiently grow accustomed to opposites, revealing the advantage of light from darkness …
—until perceiving reality.

If I agree that my state, darkness is part of perceiving reality and is equal to light, pleasant/unpleasant, good/evil—then I properly balance myself and can remain an independent creation, in the middle line, aiming at the goal of creation—adhesion with the upper force.

My Thoughts On Twitter 11/18/18

Dr Michael Laitman TwitterWe live in egoistic reason in order to decide that we cannot live this way.
We must come out of it, rise above it, start acting according to the reason of the Upper One, Bina instead of Malchut, the reason of bestowal instead of reception.

The laws operating there are contrary to egoistic reason—”and I saw a reverse world.”

Result of the light’s influence: I receive feeling and reason aimed at my egoistic benefit. Suddenly I start thinking about the group and the Creator. They become so important to me that I don’t want to think about myself and my family.
I want to care not for my own benefit, but the Creator’s benefit.

The oil is our desire for pleasures. The fire is the upper light. Our work is to connect them with a wick. Everything has been provided —we must only bring ourselves to concordance in order to transform inappropriate thoughts and actions into our unity with the Creator.

They push us away from bestowal, and we turn the gap into connection.
#spirituality #kabbalah

The wick is a transmitter, our soul. Above, there’s the force of bestowal, Bina. Below, there’s the force of reception, Malchut. Our life is in the middle. It is affirmed upon opposites, pulsates on overcoming, grows out of intention.

If burns on the wick of the lamp until I use up all the foreign thoughts.

We are limited by #egoism. It doesn’t allow us to run away from our own desires and restricts our perception. We perceive everything through the prism of self-benefit. My picture of the world, funneled through egoism, is distorted and turns into a lie.

Instead of seeing the truth, I see a fragment deformed by self-love.

Foreign thoughts, all sorts of disturbances are necessary. Without them we cannot hold on to faith above reason. We would have no need for it, no support or progress. It’s the same as how oil cannot burn without a wick that connects it to the fire, the light.

Every time inappropriate thoughts arise, we must be ready and grateful for them. We must use them as a wick, above the inappropriateness, connecting to the Source that sent them even more to strengthen the light, connection with the Creator.

The West should see the #migrants as invaders who are peacefully bringing about the assimilation of Europeans, imposing expenses, their religion and culture.
Millions of migrants have settled across #Europe. The consequence is a peaceful conquest of the continent.

Book of Zohar: at the end of days, Arabs will gain dominion over Europe.

We, BB [Bnei Baruch], aren’t against observance of Commandments. But to emphasize that the main commandment lies in unity, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” the rest of the commandments aren’t being mentioned for now. They manifest to the extent we study their spiritual source as necessary, proceeding from the structure of the #soul.

The masses will be able to adapt to the true Torah and Commandments only to the degree they understand the connection between the upper word, the system of governance and our world, us.

When we see the connections between roots and branches, the need to observe Commandments as the laws of nature is obvious. This is the true “Hazara be Tshuva.

One who starts studying Kabbalah develops egoism to an intolerable extent so he’ll run away from it, from Pharaoh. The group’s support is critical during this period.
Without it, instead of advancing toward the light, Torah, the person regresses, reducing his egoism, holding himself back from stimulating egoism, Pharaoh.

Those who start studying Kabbalah stumble upon the need to fight egoism by uniting in the group against oneself—an egoist. If they don’t understand it or can’t organize themselves this way, they leave practical Kabbalah and become its enemies, thinking that it’s not they that failed but the organization, the BB group.

 

Tolerance is good if it doesn’t indulge anarchy, if it’s balanced and protected against total permissiveness!
Kabbalah: everything requires a combination of itself and the opposite—in balance, the middle line. We must create such a society, gain this spiritual sense of perception.

The main protection against disasters is love and unity. When love, unity and friendship dwell in the nation of Israel, all misfortunes, suffering and miseries will pass them by… (Maor vaShemesh)
With their pressure, they’ll force us to teach the world unity.

We have to lead the world to unity.
Book of Zohar: “The nation of Israel among the nations of the world is like the heart for the rest of the organs. Just as the body’s organs can’t exist without the heart, so the nations can’t exist without the nation of Israel.”
“When there are love, unity, and friendship within Israel, no calamity can come upon them.” (Maor vaShemesh)

Across the whole country people are ready to host those who are under fire.
But if besides opening up their homes they knew how to open up their hearts and unite them into one heart…
Kabbalah: “The prime defense against calamity is love and unity” …
The nation is obligated to carry out unity and pass it on to all the nations.

Book of Zohar: “The nation of Israel among the nations of the world is like the heart surrounded by the rest of the organs. Just as the body’s organs can’t exist without the heart even for a moment, so all the nations can’t exist without the nation of Israel.”

A person that has a burning spark wishes to fill the emptiness with commandments like a pomegranate.
To the extent one asks to feel the Creator’s greatness, to go with it above reason,
One doesn’t wish for the Creator’s revelation, but wants His greatness in order to carry out the Creator’s desires with no conditions—this is what one asks for. This is called filling the emptiness with a commandment.

Why aren’t those who have the wisdom of Kabbalah able to set things right in the world?
The world’s correction depends on everyone’s participation in this process. Today the process of the masses’ correction is just starting in the world, to the extent people are being …
… acquainted with Kabbalah.
Correction is voluntary—it’s work one does with oneself, personally!
We now have to become aware of that, otherwise we’ll be punished!

The whole nation is responsible for transgressions since everyone drowns if one person drills a hole in the boat. From above there’s only collective punishment or reward. There is nothing personal in spirituality—there’s one system. That’s how we are seen from above.
Kabbalah says: we need upbringing and a desire for good connections.

People in America have decided to speak by shooting. Weapons can protect you, but they won’t fix the urge to resolve everything by shooting! Two opposite forces operate in everything in nature. Their balance makes peace. We need weapons of good and evil.
Yet not for the sake of our physical safety, but for the sake of uniting us and Him into one soul!

We’ve reached the limits of weakness: supplying the enemy with everything and ceasing fire at his order.
Book of Zohar: we have no other hope but the Creator. He arranges everything so we’ll turn to him out of despair.

We don’t care about every person’s qualities. We correct the CONNECTIONS between us. What matters is one’s attitude to the group, whereas natural qualities cannot be changed—they can be turned into Tzimtzum Aleph, a screen, Ohr Hozer, to build the Kli of the soul in which the Creator will be revealed. Inside, every person will remain the way the Creator made him (Lech Le Uman…)

The right request to the Creator is the request for self-correction. However, not for the sake of oneself, but in order to be able to feel others and to know how to ask the Creator for others, to ask only for their benefit, to be AHP for the sake of all the souls’ GE.

It doesn’t depend on our force or strategy, but only on unity, mutual guarantee, on us attaining the proper unity in the nation and showing the world an example of it! #Israel

#War can’t correct anything. By a string of disasters, it pushes us to understand that the solution is entirely up to us and not up to our enemies.
And instead of feeling our limited existence in the world, we’ll attain the Creator’s level.

The breaking isn’t accidental, we mustn’t annul its result. It’s for our good. If we unite above separation, we reveal connection 620 times greater than the previous one, before the fall of sin, breakage.

Is the nations of the world’s attitude to Israel changing for the better? Just like in the past, when no one felt bad about the extermination of Jews by the Nazis, so today European mass media has no mention of the fact that Hamas shot 500 rockets at Israel!

For now we have no control over our heart, but we are moving toward realization of evil and request for correction.

The most in-demand profession in the world will soon be experts in spiritual work—”the Creator’s work.” We are preparing for that. Hence our work lies in creating connection between us.

Goodness grows precisely by virtue of the ego’s growth!

Our egoism doesn’t disappear. It has to remain and we build connection above it. Naturally, the desire to eradicate ego emerges. But that’s the wrong approach. That’s why we can’t do that. Egoism will remain, but we will cover all evil in the world with goodness.

A layman cares for himself, whereas a Kabbalist cares about the connection between us, since all of correction lies there.

True Torah, Torah-Emet differs from the masses’ Torah by a different interpretation of flaws, punishment and reward, as written, “The Torah’s opinion is opposite to the laymen’s opinion.”

If evil has been revealed, we should pay attention not to it, but to our request to correct the evil with greater connection between us.

No one is guilty of his actions: all transgressions are revealed from above. We are guilty not for the revelation of evil, but for not asking the Creator to correct the evil.

All the prayers were composed by the sages before the Temple’s destruction. They are recited not for oneself—ME, but for everyone, WE, US. That’s because no one is guilty by himself—he was created that way, and everyone is responsible for everyone.

Hence it doesn’t matter who made the action—from above we are considered as being in a circular guarantee, ARVUT.

The more opposites we can unite inside us, the higher is our spiritual degree.
It’s the way any information can be processed in a computer by connections of 0 and 1. Spirituality is built upon the amount of connections, which produces quality.
Hence the most important thing is to go through the necessary number of states!

How can we win wars?
Essentially, all our wars are internal. We must fight our own egoism, which separates us, since according to the plan of creation we must be “as one man with one heart.” We must fight the ego for the sake of unity and by that we must give the world an example.
