Want to see further?—Rise higher,
Above yourself. Don’t obstruct the world with your self—
Then you’ll see the upper world, the world above you!

Kissinger: “What historical period would I compare to the current one? 1938 Germany entered Austria; Jews were told not to leave their homes. German soldiers everywhere. This I’ll never forget! Then the family fled to USA.”
Perhaps it’s his way to remind the Jews of the future.

Q: How to discover the upper world for yourself?
A: Kabbalah says: Imagine yourself blind—this is how you are in the spiritual world. And now open your eyes with kindness and love: in the degree of your property of bestowal, you will discover the upper world, the Creator.

Henry #Kissinger: “I think #Trump may be one of those figures in history who appears from time to time to mark the end of an era and to force it to give up its old pretenses.”
This doesn’t mean that Trump, actually, knows it or contemplates a grandiose alternative.

Harmony does not require capitulation of one of the parties!
Nature is grounded on the balance of opposites.
Not on the competition, but on mutual complementing!

Love covers all transgressions. One doesn’t exist without the other! We’re all different. If our connection is covered with love, there’s a place for love. If there are no collisions, there is no love. One can be built only above the other; all the constructions—above the ego.

A person cannot help noticing a good example; he can also admire and envy another person. This feeling of envy is very good. It will make one learn something good. He saw and realized how useful it is to him.

It is forbidden in Kabbalah to instruct what to do, in order to preserve individuality. The only thing we can do is demonstrate a good example, and a person will take from it what he may, depending on the level of his development.

The world perceived non-egoistically, outside our senses, is incorporeal. It has no images—only the forces that we find in ourselves. They help us perceive the world in the form of forces and connections of good and evil. The Creator is the property of absolute goodness and love.

Where’s the soul?
Nothing’s created but the soul. It contains all the worlds, including ours, the lowest one, the tiniest of sensations. Everything resides in the soul. The soul’s desire is called its body, and the light fulfills it. There’s no physical world but in our sensation.

Q: So, what is this “faith above reason”?
A: Imagine you are in the presence of the Creator and merged with Him. Now continue living without parting with the Creator, as if He is obvious to you. Persistently gain experience and questions; by getting them answered, you will find Him!

All connections exist between all of us. The breaking, distancing, and concealment manifest only in relation to us, and not in the system itself. The system functions correctly. All the experiences pertain solely to us, so that we can restore the connections by way of desire.

The breaking occurred only in our mind and heart; in fact, it never took place. The entire descent of the worlds and the inverse ascent, the entire spiritual ladder—exist only in our imagination. In truth, we all remain in the same ideal state.

In the Adam system we received satisfaction through of others. After the breaking, everyone finds satisfaction on his own —through others but without their desire. This kind of fulfillment is called “the spark of life,” which revives us until we wake up to mutual bestowal.

The environment can evoke the feeling that there’s something that you don’t have. Even if he owns the entire world, he does not have something higher than this world. There’s void in his soul. The environment can awaken him and explain that he can fill this emptiness in the group

In our desire there’s a part of Adam’s state where we were all connected. This desire isn’t fulfilled. Due to the breaking, we split up and mutually separated. But we can induce ourselves toward the former connection of Arvut by way of the influence from the environment, the group.

A person cannot come out of a descent; he is bribed by selfish pleasures, buried under them. He does not have a place in his heart and in his mind to think about and feel the lack of spirituality. But without this suffering, we cannot come out of the descent.

Staying in Malchut (reason) and Bina (above reason) is a transition from our world to the upper one, Machsom, restriction, screen. Our entire work lies in discerning to what depth of desire I am able to descend in order to stay above it in bestowal, the level of faith above reason.

The Bina-Malchut relation is the relation of the creature and the Creator. All Kabbalah discusses is how to correct Malchut with Bina; whether a person/Malchut has a righteous one/Bina within—the desire to be in restriction, receive nothing, and only bestow (the property of Bina)

“Righteous in the city” is justifying one’s condition, above calculations; giving contentment to the Creator through the group; accepting it all as coming from Him. “Righteous gone from the city” is inability to justify one’s state, falling in calculations—Malchut instead of Bina

One of Trump’s victories is distancing Europe from #Russia, under his call for unity in NATO’s ranks. Strange as it may seem, Russia, with its returning to the empire, is playing up to it. But in fact, there could be a rapprochement between Europe and Russia against the US instead.

Faith above reason is: while feeling (within reason) dark and evil, to stay above it (in faith) in bestowal and love, for everything came from the Creator. So accepting it (having received a correction) that our ego-desires won’t be filled, above them we’ll be in faith, the Creator.

The screen is when I don’t care what form I’m in. It’s essential for me to bestow. My level’s measured by the depth of darkness in me, from which I’m able to think not of myself but of the group and inside of it of the Creator—to bestow from the darkness, Malchut, with the screen.

Try to see the world through the Creator’s eyes and not thru our corrupted sight. Otherwise, you berate the Creator, hardening your heart with selfishness. First accept that the Creator does good, the world is perfect, and that we condemn Him only to the extent of our depravity.

The proof of your spirituality is in the joy you feel from the sense of perfection in all circumstances. Such a condition is called the day of the Creator. Any person can imagine this state and strive for it. And if he cannot, it means that egoism rules over him.

In fact, we are in a perfect state in the world of Infinity, and all changes occur only within a person. Therefore, if he considers his state to be perfect, whatever he feels!—it means that he is already in it.

Beginners’ mistake: beg for knowledge, sensations, satisfaction; for they think this is how the spiritual world works. They expect the light to come and satisfy their ego-desires. But one should rather ask for correction and take any condition as coming from the Creator, i.e., perfect

The screen is when I do not care about the form I am in. It is essential for me to bestow. My level is determined by the depth of the desire I am able to immerse myself in the dark (da’at), so that I can bestow from it as well (lemala mi adaat).

As soon as a person feels that the Creator is not kind to the creatures, he argues with Him, accuses and hates Him. Therefore, strive to see the Creator bestowing all the good to everyone, justify Him in situations incompatible with His good governance. This is our blindness!

All attainments (forms) are in black letters. White color just draws them. So, we are closer to the light by guaranteeing and keeping the spirit in the group. It is precisely in the dark where the mutual bestowal between the Creator and us is verified, when we take darkness as light.

Without darkness, we’d have no way to attain the Creator. We must value darkness—not run away from it, but turn it to light; from forms of darkness, see how to cling to the Creator. We mustn’t underrate darkness since it is all creation, and in it we attain light, the Creator.

We need to turn the Creator’s reverse side into the front side, and thus attain adhesion. The upper one always shows us his reverse side. If we are ready to accept this, we raise the reverse side (-) to the height of the front side (+) and cling to the Creator.

If the Creator distances Himself, allowing you to grow, you cease yearning for Him. This is the Creator’s back, since His “face” is the sensation of His kindness. The Creator shows His “back” so man will aspire to Him.
Thus, the Creator’s face is concealed inside the opposite side.

Don’t wait for changes from above!
The only thing we can ask for is our correction.
In every state one must establish that you don’t want anything for yourself, but only to care for the Creator, in every way and ask for this.
That’s how we enter the state of bestowal -faith above reason.

The spiritual state is measured relative to a person. One’s state is whatever he evaluates it to be. Wishing for more than what you have is already excessive. It means you are unhappy with what you have received from the Creator.
This is a hurdle on every person’s path to perfection

The “Day of the Creator” is a state where all you want is to bestow to the Creator. With no response from Him, you only want to care for and do good to Him—even if no one ever finds out, including the Creator Himself, that all my efforts were for Him, and the result is concealed.

Our entire mission in spiritual development is to follow the Creator’s work, agreeing with it as much as we can, with the group’s help. The Creator awakens darkness against the light—He distances Himself, turning back, like a deer running away-thereby calling us to follow him.

#Israel as a Jewish nation-state is a state that exists by Jewish law, stated in the Bible as, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” This is the code of the nation and the world, the code of mankind’s global, integral development. If we implement it, we will have eternity.

When turning to the Creator for help, remember that He’s the one that gave you the feeling of helplessness. I agree with Him and thank Him for it.
Because even though I feel bad, He is with me now—now my prayer will be mature and wholesome, and I’ll be the Creator’s partner.

We must clearly delineate corporeality and spirituality, outside and inside of us. There’s the “donkey” – my nature, and Me – the human seated atop the donkey, wishing to delight the Creator. Two degrees/worlds, both necessary.
But the Creator will save the human and the beast!

I feel the friend if I invest myself into acquiring qualities similar to his. I then discover that he is perfect because I have partially become perfect. But I feel egoistic. My good deeds are reflected in the fiends, while my flaws are reflected in me.
#Kabbalah

On the spiritual path, we shouldn’t fear or avoid darkness of desires.
We must deal with the emptiness, the “vessel”—scrutinize it in the upper light, and come out to the Creator, who created emptiness in me to push me forward. When I understand this, I turn to Him the right way.

We must deal with the emptiness, the “vessel”—scrutinize it in the upper light, and come out to the Creator, who created emptiness in me to push me forward. When I understand this, I turn to Him the right way.

In spiritual space, I move by changing my qualities / desires.
In material space, it’s enough for me to move mechanically, to come to the lesson even if I don’t want to.
This opportunity to act in spite of the desire is what sets our world apart. We underestimate it.
#Kabbalah

The Creator determines my descents. Desperation pushes into the group to receive fulfillment and hope. I understand that the Creator Himself lowered me into selfishness, intentionally so, for only thus will I be forced to ascend to the next level, by choosing bestowal over the ego.

It is written, “I dwell amongst my people.”
The Creator is what’s revealed in the center of the ten, in the group.
I run there without looking back. There, my darkness, despair, and futility acquire a new quality—the desire to bestow to the Creator. This bestowal is Light for me

Conflicts between US financiers and industrialists led to Trump’s nomination for presidency by industrialists. But neither financiers nor industrialists know how to ensure economic growth. They’re only fighting for power. There’s a crisis ahead, so a consciousness change is needed!

Trump can secure the US position in the world, return production and jobs to the workers, mark the boundaries of interests with Putin, for there’s no winning in a conventional war or surviving a nuclear one. The world’s at a dead end. It’s time to spread the method of correction!

The Creator has brought us to an inner dead-end of intention, so we may ask ourselves: What do I want from life? What does life want from me?
We have the chance to think about these questions, to demand upper fulfillment in #life, in order to break through to a new #reality!

#Kabbalah: The human ego has developed so much that the things we used to enjoy have ceased to fulfill us. Mankind is reaching a state of inner emptiness, apathy.
Soon we will have no other choice but to reveal the spiritual fulfillment that awaits us.

By connecting the beginning of creation, its current state and its end, a person starts feeling grateful to the Creator, outside any personal calculations. By opening the heart to the friends and letting them in, I acquire the spiritual world. The group is my actual soul.

If I correct myself, parts of the world will converge and become a single whole. By taking responsibility for the world, I unite the broken parts of my soul. The world is a part of my Kli, the souls that I must connect. This is how my flaws requiring correction are revealed.

The the world’s condition is entirely up to me. I alone can bring it to total correction. After all, the “world” is what appears to me in my desire, either in a corrupted or a corrected one, to a greater or lesser extent. This means everything depends on me!

Any darkness must be taken as the reverse side of the light, as its starting point. Wishing for greater unity, guarantee, bestowal above the ego, seeking to see the Creator’s good in everything, we transform darkness into the light, bitterness into sweetness; we hasten the dawn.

Darkness and the lack of guarantee in the group are the light and the vessel of the next state. The Creator “flirts” so that we strive after Him. Any descent is an invitation to rise. Darkness demands that we strengthen the guarantee in order to become one with the Creator.

Merging with the Creator in darkness is transforming His reverse side into His face. If I cannot treat evil as goodness, if I cannot turn any condition into adhesion with the Creator, then I am not receiving the power of a guarantee from the group.

Darkness is a breaking, incapacity to perceive the light- force of bestowal. In the darkness of #selfishness we find the Creator’s “underside,” the opportunity for correction. And we rejoice at this, for He showed us what’s missing. Now from darkness we can come to adhesion with Him.

There is nothing accidental in the world. Everything is intended only for the disclosure of the Creator, the Good Who Does Good. If we prepare in advance, we will accept anything negative correctly, finding Him in the darkness, in the opposite states.

Spiritual work’s built on a request/gratitude to the Creator—He’s open to both. One chooses what will give him maximum equivalence = bestowal to the Creator, thru maximum effort against the self and through the group. We ask to unite our intentions. Becoming one, we’ll merge with the Creator

Every single day we cause numerous problems by our barbaric use of oil and trees, by poisoning the earth with #chemical #waste. But the biggest blow to nature we cause is by acting selfishly in our relations. Since this level is the highest, it causes a common crisis. #environment

#Kabbalah offers every person the opportunity to move through space at infinite speed and zero time—notwithstanding #Einstein!
#Wisdom #ThursdayThoughts #quotes #Time #life

Kabbalah explains tragedies by the lack of connection between us, the lack of balance between parts of nature. The world has turned into a ball girded with multiple threads that we are progressively destroying. In the integral world, breaking connections causes an integral crisis!

A person who wishes to advance in spirituality must remove his ego-desire.
He realizes that he can’t go against his ego-nature.
But since the Creator gave him the ego-nature, He will replace it as well, if the person asks for it from the bottom of his heart.

To lift a person from spiritual ascent, the Creator drops him down with thoughts of him instead of HIM. One thinks that he fell alone, spiritual growth isn’t for him and he’s worse than everyone. But precisely from this state, if he asks the Creator, He helps and brings him to Him.

Loss of energy and sensation of emptiness (after a congress) come from above—for us to find out: What does the Creator want from me? Why did He take away all my strength and desires?
It’s so I’ll depend only on Him and receive desires/strength to move to the goal only from Him!

After ascent (at a congress), we fall!
Yet it’s not descent, but opportunity to reevaluate the goal anew:
what do I want from the Creator and what does He want from me?
Whereas in ascent there is no care for spirituality—since I feel great and would stay this way my whole life.

According to Baal HaSulam, “Peace In The World”: Peace in a given society depends on world peace, for we’ve reached a stage where the whole world is a single society. So everyone has to care for the wellbeing of the entire world and serve it, in order to ensure his own existence.

New Life 1019 – Personal Capability In A Connected World
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

If you try to connect to others and fail, you need to examine the reason: what does nature want from you? Every person can adapt themselves to trends in the development of nature and learning to connect with people correctly. In the future, it will be necessary to feel connected to the entirety of humanity just as a small village was connected in the past. We will require a special education in order to learn how to communicate with all of society, nature, and reality as a whole.

The #EU is collapsing although countries cannot exist without trade. The breaking of ties will affect all of humanity: families and all socio-economic-government-systems of each country. The collapse can only be stopped by introducing a universal integral #education!

Thoughts of being like the Creator are thoughts of doing good to Him.
To induce this, the Creator distances a person; he feels removed but by thought and feeling efforts returns to the Creator—the effort is necessary not to get distanced, but to ask to always be with the Creator.

Nature’s oneness operates by the law of balance. What’s unbalanced is harmful. Each part consumes what it needs, and does everything to be in balance with others. It’s the law of connection, maintained by Nature. Man is able to align himself with it to be similar to the Creator.

Kant Baltic Federal University: The universe is more unpredictable than it was thought. Taking into account the singularities (states when one of the parameters becomes infinite) makes the universe unpredictable and fatal at any time; even galaxies won’t survive such a catastrophe.

In 4 months the Iranian #rial lost 50% due to US sanctions. August 6, foreign companies will stop working with Iran. The reduction of oil exports will continue the economic collapse. The country is experiencing mass protests, but Americans want a revolution! The Arab spring still on?

Israel must do all it can to prevent the world from exploding. First Kabbalists, then Jews must unite in order to bring the upper Light through us to mankind. By being disconnected we are blocking the upper Light from the world. That’s why #Antisemitism is growing all over the world

People need to be different in order to complement each other. The condition of unity was established to give them equal opportunities, to the degree of “Love thy neighbor.” Likewise, we can avert crises by debt removal (Shmitat Ksafim). Properly applied, it may reform society.

Since the world has entered a multilateral crisis, the solution must be global, that can correct the entire condition.
Selective measures in economy, industry, healthcare, and ecology are not sufficient.
All systems built by mankind have stopped functioning.

The tech-companies’ share collapse began—this is the beginning of the tech bubble’s explosion. But the upcoming crisis is universal, because it’s founded on mankind’s universal egoism.
The crisis will force us to change!
BTW, “crisis” (mashber) in Hebrew means childbirth (new)!

Mankind is afraid to change anything, although it understands the harm; but it allows it to exist at least in this way. In fact, nobody understands what to do. It’s time to hear the Kabbalists and through them influence the governing power of mankind.

The whole world is a tinderbox, which cannot be neutralized, for it is the result of disequilibrium in people’s, nations’, and states’ relationships. Our time is unique because all the factors through which humanity hoped to come to goodness revealed their evil!

Mutual guarantee derives from the structure of a single soul and knowing the laws of the unified system of nature. Total interconnection of its parts is revealed to the Kabbalist as a fact. To uncover the depths of the soul system, he rushes to the guarantee, hastening his evolution

A person is a desire. He always wants something—he prays constantly, but unconsciously. This unconscious #prayer comes from the Creator, who evokes it in the will of man. Only a #conscious desire is considered his prayer, which is his true self. The rest is his animal part.

#Trump and the #EU cannot act freely, but only move toward a balanced society, including all parts of the community—right up to the complete balance of humanity in all its manifestations. The path is obligatory—either through the awareness, or by way of blows, #suffering.

Your spiritual efforts have no results?
It’s written: “The Creator will finish my work.”
I.e., start a spiritual action (bestowal, connection, love) knowing that you are just beginning, and the Creator (OM – Ohr Makif) will finish what you started. In this, always feel as the Creator’s partner

People fear Judgment Day; they build shelters, believe that salvation is in getting distant and isolated from others. Kabbalah says: who strives to unite will be saved. In such an environment the upper force manifests, which will raise society to the next stage of development.

Trump accelerates times. The fed and dressed world is collapsing. Living standards will be like in the 1960s. Middle class and liberals will disappear. People recognize “there’s no future.” The Soviet Union once aspired to be like the West. Not anymore. This is Kabbalah’s prediction.

The law of balance of our correct interaction is described in RABASH’s articles. It’s the basis of the right attitude to earthly and spiritual nature that has nothing “excessive.” It’s the basis of behavior, upbringing, nutrition. The law zivug-de-hakaa connection with the Creator.

#Europe thinks that #Trump yields in his economic demands. But Trump will not back down; he will reach his goal by other means. In fact, his approach is not a whim, but a forced market-clearing #economic policy, which must objectively arise between all countries. Balance!

#USA: #Trade produces a lot of jobs, but internet-trade harms it. Industry was taken out. The crisis has come. Local authorities are for #Trump, but #bankers oppose him. Trump needs allies to destroy the “world order” and solve unemployment—this will ensure his re-election.
