New year = rebirth. Although I lived, collecting Torah knowledge and Commandments, like everyone, now I realized that what matters is the aspiration to attain equivalence to the Creator via love of others and reveal Him in the quality of faith above reason (bestowal above reception).

My Thoughts On Twitter 8/29/18

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

By correcting egoism, we see the world improve.
How will “the wolf dwell with the lamb”? If man corrects himself, he’ll see that since the world is a projection of his qualities.

Correcting the world is a false approach. Correct yourself and the world will be corrected!

We think we have to correct the world. But the world is our projection. By changing it instead of us, the world becomes worse, being a reflection of our ego. Looking at the world, we see us in the mirror. The world, our reflection, is there for us to check how corrected we are.

The world’s the Creator, we’re inside it
He determines, acts and fills everything
We see our imperfection on His background
The goal, attaining perfection, means attaining His qualities
We ask the Creator for self-correction not for us, but so we won’t curse him for the ugly world.

We change the world to suit our ego, but the world is a projection of our qualities. It’s here so that by changing himself, man will see results in the world. When we correct the world instead of the ego, we grow the ego until it forces us to correct it instead of the world.

The way the heart valve lets blood go through,
So my screen lets the light through.
But the pressure rises…
#Wisdom #quotes

A month before the new year, one must prepare for prayer so one’s mouth and heart are together in the request to be recorded in the Book of Life—in adhesion with the Creator through equivalence of form with Him in the quality of total bestowal, self-annulment. Then the New Year comes.

The environment can put me at odds with the Creator by putting me at odds with myself. This is why I don’t like the environment, but I must accept its rule over me if I wish to accept the Creator’s rule over me instead of my egoism’s rule over me.

The Creator fills the group. Hence we can feel Him by uniting with the group. Otherwise the sense to perceive the Creator does not emerge.

The Creator corrects personal requests by not responding and compelling us to understand the need to turn to the group and turn to Him together.

Restriction Tzimzum Aleph is when one stops thinking of oneself.
Masach is when one starts thinking about the Creator.
Aviut of Masach is how much I can bestow from myself (above myself) to the Creator.
Reflected Light Ohr Hozer is the ability to bestow, faith above reason, bestowal above reception.

If a person wishes to improve in order to benefit himself—he receives even greater revelation of his flaws.
But if he values himself to benefit the Creator, he receives the light of correction.

Laitman says Bogner “truly wants to explore the authentic wisdom of #Kabbalah” and “to find the essence and #purpose of life—to understand why we live and what is our role in life, and how it relates to humanity’s past, present and #future.” #Evolution

The world is a projection of my egoistic qualities on the background of white light, which is opposite to them
Instead of showing us our flaws, the Creator shows them to us outside of us, as if they are foreign to us.
We criticize them egoistically, until we ask to see the truth!

Egoists care about life/earnings, while Kabbalists annul these goals and even themselves, existing because it’s the Creator’s will.
It’s written: Egoists’ reason is opposite to Torah—Kabbalists’ reason.
Egoists’ reason is in fulfilling life, while Torah’s reason is negating life.

Inasmuch as I immerse in the group, I’m in adhesion with the Creator.
The group is the degree of my adhesion with Him.
If I include myself in the group, annulling myself, I’ll discover that it accepts me and the Creator dwells between them.
The group is in a state of full correction!

We can’t measure our relationships directly, but we can do it relative to a foreign object: how different your feeling of it is from mine. Likewise in our world we use a standard to measure various phenomena/degrees. The group is the average between me and the Creator!

I can reach equivalence with the Creator only by reaching equivalence with the group—in this way, the Creator and I coincide. The group is the place where the Creator and I are together. My entire spiritual work lies in clinging to 9 friends and completing them to a 10.

Entering the ladder of merging with the Creator starts with the desire to be an “embryo” in the Creator and total submission to Him, as an embryo is in full charge of the mother. So the restriction is met: want nothing but being in the Creator i.e., all thoughts/desires—about Him.

Kabbalah: To motivate the Jews to unite, Israel must produce an educational program about the role of unity of the Jews in the unity of the world. #Trump should demand from #Israel to unite and thereby compel the whole world to follow, so he can get the Nobel Prize and relax.

Peace Israel-Palestine is possible if Palestinians will want peace, which they will—only if the Jews show willingness to unite as one. Otherwise, #Trump’s efforts will fail; he’ll change his attitude to Israel into terrible pressure! It’s the Creator forcing us into correction.

In spirituality there’s no time, day/night, months/years. I determine my day/night. Night is a new desire from the Creator, a new degree. But I cover the darkness with the light of Hassadim and then the light of Hochma clothes into it, the light of the sun—a new day comes!

The day begins at night: “There was evening and there was morning—one day”
In darkness I prepare faith, bestowal, fill my desire with the light of Hassadim. I am ready to remain in this state if only I’ll have the chance to bestow. Thus I go through the night and turn it to day.

Spiritual work begins in descent. We get a chance to move toward bestowal, faith above reason. When you feel bad, the world becomes dark, you lose importance of the goal, and the Creator, group, study and spiritual path don’t attract—remember that everything is set up by Him.

To make it possible for us to reform ourselves, desire (the soul) was broken apart. From being broken, we have the opportunity to fix the breaking, through unity. The key is to gain the power of bestowal because it is the glue that glues all the parts of the broken soul together.

When a person feels satisfied (in selfishness!), it is difficult for him to overcome himself, uncovering his shortcomings, to start spiritual work, for in the spiritual we advance only due to a sense of lack.

Selfishness (Pharaoh) evolves to the extent that its at first pleasant power becomes unbearable—which pushes us to seek how to exit it.

Kabbalah: the correct use of selfishness is in restriction. Stop gaining; by economizing, connect with all in the common organism—the Soul. Evolution spares those who adapt, i.e., lazy ones, with a decreased metabolism. Reduce the desire to receive! By bestowing receive eternity!

Crisis: Birth rate is declining and lifespan increasing. The aging of the #population leads to a rise in medical expenses and pensions. The number of taxpayers is decreasing due to lack of working people. Each woman should give birth to 2.2 children. But the earth is overpopulated.

-I want truth and no games in my relationships. What should I do?
-Fate plays with a person
The future isn’t clear to us. Our movement toward one another and attitude to the world and life are like acting on stage. By acting out and aspiring to a better future state, we attain it.

The world’s changing, but its Brussels bureaucratic and financial heads don’t want that, trying to hold on by force, wishing to destroy the threat ( #Trump, USA). If it wasn’t #USA, #Europe would start a war. But when USA’s the opponent, the self-protection instinct curbs them.

Revelation of the world lies not in overcoming cosmic distances or delving deep into matter, but delving deep into one’s #consciousness.
#kabbalah #science

The month of #Elul is about realizing the need for inner change. It’s a month of self-analysis: what can I do to start coming closer to the Creator, making the first contact with Him, revealing myself to recognize the greatness and rule of the Creator as the upper force.

Correcting creation, the “broken soul” lies in uniting until “love your neighbor.” Desires are corrected to the extent we strive to unite. Revealing resistance to unite as evil/sin is the work of the month of Elul. Work on the Creator’s greatness and revelation is Rosh HaShana.

The repentance that one must reach in the month of Elul is revelation of desires inside you that hinder unity. It’s enough to reveal them—and they are corrected at that very moment. If I consider them a sin, through that they are corrected by the light that reforms.

It is written that it makes no sense to ask the Creator for forgiveness until a person repays all his debts to people. If we establish good relations between us and provide the Creator with a place to reveal Himself, this will be our appeal to Him and a request for forgiveness.

The month Elul is a realization of the need for an inner change; a month of introspection: what can I do with myself to begin aligning with the Creator, for the first contact with Him? To unlock myself for the realization of the greatness and power of the Creator as the upper force.

We live increasingly longer.
-What for? We’ve learned to take care of our bodies. But what is the purpose of my existence? Mankind has no answer to this question. Hence life is easier but harder.
The question “What is the #purpose?” pushes mankind to learn the governing system.

Trump announced that Israel will have much to give up for the sake of peace. Everything he does is to achieve his own goals. And he is right! Kabbalah says: If we don’t unite, we won’t ensure the support from Above for us—we will help our “friends” and foes to break and destroy us!

The UN Secretary General Guterrish proposed a set of measures to protect Gaza Palestinians. So he stresses that the UN acts solely to protect Palestinians. The UN goes forth towards the elimination of #Israel.
Kabbalah says: If we don’t unite as the nation of Israel, humanity will annul us!

Trump: Let’s make America great!
The US economy grows; money flows into the dollar; profits rise;
Inflation’s low; business optimism’s high; money streams into US.
Profitability on domestic market pumps out assets from the world.
The US is getting a return on what it’s given to the world.

Both the righteous one and the sinner live in one person. The Torah speaks only about one man; everything else is an imaginary world. Hence, all righteous and sinners, pure and impure forces—the entire system is within a person. He needs to unlock this system and tune it to the goal.

“Avoid falsehood and truth, too, shun”—all that is given is to BRING you to the proper analysis. You can’t judge since the decision is always a step higher than where you are. The upper rung defines the lower and that’s why it brings you all the problems. The solution is ascent!

Nature has strict laws. The commandment “FOR HE WILL NOT FORGIVE YOUR FAULTS, AS MY NAME IS ON IT” is an ecological commandment. In the integral nature your right is to receive from it only as much as your “animal” requires. An ecological balance is part of the spiritual balance.

The spiritual path starts with an inspiration! But later it vanishes, because desire doesn’t receive fulfillment. Most leave Kabbalah; those with the true desire to attain the Creator stay. They ask not to receive from Him or get Him revealed, but for a chance to bestow to Him.

RoshHashanah/NewYear symbolizes a person’s entry into spiritual work. It’s preceded by the month of Elul– tuning into connecting to the Creator. “I am to the Beloved and the Beloved to me”—from the initial study of Kabbalah to a full realization of total dependence on the Creator.

The difference between evil and good (klipa vs holiness) isn’t in action but only in intention. For the sake of self is evil; for the sake of others is good. Hence the transition between them is quick. So, we must pay attention to thoughts and intentions thereby correcting our states.

The source of all ills is our self-love/ego, which can’t be tamed. Kabbalah offers a solution to the crisis—to rise above the ego and use it in reverse—as bestowal over reception. This option exists in Nature. We need to unlock the power of bestowal. Kabbalah explains how.

Perfection from the least to the greatest is evaluated by how all sorts of negative and positive phenomena combine together as one single whole.
There’s no good or bad —there’s only harmony and perfection.
#wisdom

Man’s goal in this world is to fill desires to enjoy.
His goal in the spiritual world is to perceive perfection in the will to bestow.
To the extent of our efforts, the light affects us, bringing us to the desire of the upper one and the sensation of perfection in that desire.

The first step into spirituality is refusing the feeling of confidence in reason, above it building an attitude to the world above reason, “for the sake of bestowal,” 2 degrees: reason and above reason. Reveal both and between them I will feel the upper world, the upper reality.

Spirituality is revealed in the will to bestow. How do we check and measure it? It is written: “I saw a reverse world.” The measurement isn’t done in my heart and mind, but to the extent I come out of them, joyfully bestowing, being closer to the Creator and the new reality.

One’s #1 request to the Creator is for help to go by faith above reason, joyfully, as if one has attained the quality of bestowal. Though the Ego doesn’t agree, ask the Creator not to feel His greatness to bestow in joy, but rather to receive joy in bestowal, as if one has reason

#Israel
The Jewish nation lasted not only for 3 generations, but for 2,000 years in exile despite all geopolitical laws. The Jewish nation’s prolonged existence and others’ hatred toward it make it an irrational thing.
Question: Where does this irrational hatred come from?

Spiritual life begins from the state of “Embryo,” like the conception of life in our world. If one strives to annul one’s opinion, REASON, and adopt the Kabbalist’s opinion, FAITH ABOVE REASON, he becomes like an embryo—deaf and blind… and then he’s born!

Attraction and repulsion –
Opposite forces –
Give birth to reason and freedom

Working #Faithabovereason, I must know that I feel the Creator. He fills my sensations. All my states, actions and thoughts are from Him. He always leads me to Him by the best path. I must see all that happens, in me and outside me, as the best setting for me to react correctly.

Waking up, I instantly evoke my connection with the Creator and lock us together. Then I proceed as if on an autopilot: all is from Him; I guard our connection despite the obstacles. The Creator uses them to teach me to keep in contact with Him—until I arrive at the full adhesion.

We all live inside a game.
Kabbalah talks only about this: how we should achieve the real, true, correct future!
We have to create our future, put it together out of blocks, discerning that what matters most are the relationships between us, in a world that we can make wonderful.

A person is a small world.
He is made up of all the qualities in the world.
If he wants to see the #world a certain way—
He should organize himself inside himself that way!
