According to Kabbalah, #Antisemitism is not a passing phenomenon but rather a natural dynamic: When #Jews unite above all conflicts and differences, a positive force of unity spreads throughout human society. #GFCA2018 Forward.com

The Scandinavian countries are on their way to becoming the first countries in Europe to ban circumcision & kosher slaughter. Hatred towards Jews is building up in the hearts of Europeans, Forward.com #GFCA2018 #Antisemitism

My Thoughts On Twitter, 3/18/18

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

We cannot communicate w. the upper force (Creator) because we’re opposite to it in qualities. Hence we cannot understand or feel it, there’s no contact. We need an intermediary degree that connects us. This is the degree of #Bina that connects #Malchut to #Keter.

Creator & creature, giver & receiver, r polar opposites. To unite them you need an intermediary quality connecting them.
For 40 years Moses absorbed the qualities of Machut/Pharaoh/ego, & another 40 years for qualities of Bina. He is the “loyal shepherd” of the ego to correction.

Man is opposite to the #Creator. To receive from the Creator the force of #correction, you need an intermediary w. the qualities of both creature & Creator (Moses). This function is done by the Group: separately, receiving egoists, but collectively bestowers, connected to Him.

The Creator awakens the quality of reception in us. We have to ask for the quality of #bestowal! Building the group, I’ll be able to turn to the Creator because together is trying to unite, bestow, rise above personal ego. That’s how we influence Him with the group – ten – #Minyan.

#Solutiontocrisis The more the world and its crisis develop, the more everyone will blame Jews for all the world’s problems. It’s because the positive force comes into our world only via Jews. The nations feel this, while Jews, in spiritual descent, do not. The solution is in us!

#Spiritualwork_ML #Passover Ten egoists that become as one can persuade the Creator to make them similar to Him, govern #reality. By uniting above the growing ego, elicited by the Creator, the group climbs 125 degrees of Jacob’s ladder of equivalence to Him #success #motivation

Adjacent spiritual states are always opposite to each other, following from the 4 phases of Direct Light, in sensation, knowledge.
This is why it’s difficult to get used to changing spiritual states! Fast adaptation to a new spiritual state lies in lowering your head and letting it happen!

#Spiritualwork_ML
Now my #egoism, my beloved #Pharaoh, proclaims, “I will rule!” But I have to put the Creator in his stead so He will rule everything. This is the aim of all my efforts—and the group can help me replace Pharaoh with the Creator wherever egoism rules #Pesach

#Spiritualwork_ML
The main law of nature is #universal #balance. Everything in nature is interconnected and balanced. We must recognize this law and our incongruence to it, and reach its observance. This will equal observance of the commandment,” #Love your neighbor as yourself”

In man’s mind, there is knowledge of the current degree. But at the same time, he has to anticipate the next degree, imagine it as standing above his present knowledge, as “faith above reason,” the next degree of his knowledge. He must tread from #faith to #knowledge!

#Passover is liberation from egoism, sensation of this world, and the start of a new life, sensation of the upper world. Only the #Creator Himself can do this to us. But we have to become convinced that it is impossible to come out of egoism on our own and ask the Creator for it.

#Joseph in the field: man lost his way in life and asks how to find his brethren to reveal bestowal and love in unity, and in them—the Creator. But they do not want to be close to him, the evil of egoism/Pharaoh becomes revealed, they come out of it (Egypt) and receive #Torah.

The group is evaluated only by efforts to unite. To the extent of the efforts, it draws the force of correction OM [Ohr Makif – Surrounding Light]. At the start of unity, the Creator is felt in the group as OP [Ohr Panimi – Inner Light], NaRaNHaY, depending on unity along 125 degrees of equivalence to the Creator till total unity of ADAM

Mutual guarantee is always needed since every person in the group receives burdening of the heart, while others use it for the common ascent. The upper providence creates disturbances to aid unity. No one can come out of a descent alone—only the group saves one from the dungeon

If the Creator wouldn’t replace the good Pharaoh with the evil one i.e., change our awareness to see futility in a life of plenty, we would never leave Egypt, this world. But egoism develops & sets new values, “meaning of life,” causing “famine in Egypt”#Spiritualwork ML #Passover

#Hawking: There is no God. All processes happening in nature can be explained scientifically. God is the sum total of the laws of nature.
#Kabbalah: God in Kabbalah is the general force of nature and nothing exists except that force.

#Hawking: Everything that exists is what our mind can grasp, and if man cannot grasp the notion of God, there is no God.
#Kabbalah: God is an abstract notion. Man must research any phenomenon in line with the principle, “A judge has no more than what his eyes see.”

#StephenHawking: Only a world government can save humanity.
#Kabbalah: A world government must be united, educating and uniting by definition, educating humanity toward unity above its egoistic nature.

#StephenHawking: Mankind needs an activity, a higher meaning, so it won’t be left to its own devices #Kabbalah: Salvation lies in Man’s upbringing, creating a society in which we value and enrich one another, in which differences and opposite qualities blossom while serving unity

#Passover
Spiritual famine in the midst of total material plenty.
The desire grew qualitatively and demands upper world fulfillments instead of “pots of meat.” The Creator spoils life.
One who studies #Kabbalah accelerates the descent and leaves if he doesn’t rely on friends!

#Spiritualwork_ML “You are few among the nations,” meaning few people in the world have a point in the heart, an aspiration to reveal the Creator. “Thousands enter, but a handful reveal the Light.” Offended? Take it up with the Creator! People leave because the desire is small…

It says: “Man’s heart will be proud on the Creator’s path”—against one’s pride, greatness of #spiritual work versus this #life, spiritual pride above material pride. One must constantly strive to raise the importance of the goal—reveal the Creator in unity. #Freewill_ML

The condition “Man’s heart will be proud on the Creator’s path” prevents one from overcoming his ego and he leaves #Kabbalah. He can’t lower his ego, rise in bestowal above reception (faith above reason), set an example of unity and bestowal to friends, and he leaves.#Freewill_ML

#Europe “center of the world” is over. Interdependence and weakness of Euro-states. TNCs are dividing the #world. #Politics relies on force. Digitization of life leads to change in #consciousness. A united world is founded on unity above egoism. Only Kabbalah is capable of that.

#Spiritualwork_ML #Passover
Working egotistically to unite in the group at the start of the path (Egypt), we flourish – the desire enjoys it! But work in the group and study draws OM. We then reveal disunity, the work’s goal, reward, a worldview – people grow weaker and leave…

Growth of egoism (Egypt), its approval and rejection – stage 1 of developing towards equivalence with the Creator – happens unwillingly: Jacob’s sons do not wish to unite, the Creator compels them by famine (crisis). We enter #Egypt in order to succeed in #egoism by uniting.

#StephenHawking: Only a world government can save humanity.

My latest in @newsmax .. lurking beneath the façade that #technology will eventually solve most of our problems and make our lives better, are discoveries showing how these new “solutions” are actually detrimental to our well-being ..
#Sustainability #CSR

#Spiritualwork_ML
Now my egoism, my beloved Pharaoh, proclaims, “I will rule!” But I have to put the Creator in his stead so He will rule everything. This is the aim of all my efforts – and the group can help me replace #Pharaoh with the Creator wherever #egoism rules. #Passover

#Spiritualwork_ML
The Creator wants us to need Him, to feel that we are unable to act in thought or desire. He confuses us, setting up problems, so we won’t be able to cope without Him, will search for Him and ask. When we turn to Him with a plea, He becomes revealed to us.

#Kabbalahwisdom_ML
How does a Kabbalist perceive others? There are no “others”. There’s no one at all. I am ADAM existing alone with the Creator
Isn’t that boring? No. Everything is inside me. To this extent I manage the world & united with the Creator: “One accepts one”
#quote

#Kabbalahwisdom_ML #Spiritualwork_ML
Evil is cognized by a person who calls himself a villain or egoist. He is aware of the evil inside him to the extent that he is already righteous. When a person feels that he is a #sinner, to that extent he is already #righteous.

#Freedomofwill_ML
As long as I identify with egoism, I feel the blows it receives as mine. But as soon as I stop feeling egoism as mine, I stop feeling the blows it receives. #Egoism then appears as an animal that’s by my side, and I’m human, above it. #consciousness

The #soul is the desire to fulfill the Creator, through the desire to do good to others, a desire opposite to our #egoism. Instead of the calculation, “What can I get from others?” it’s “How can I fulfill others?” The reward is the soul, #eternal connection with the Creator!

#Kabbalahwisdom_ML #Solutiontocrisis
Kabbalah warns: if we try to build #relationships by material, egoistic laws, even “fair” ones, by the principle “mine is mine, yours is yours”, we elicit even greater evil because correction of #evil requires its awareness.

#Spiritualwork_ML #Solutiontocrisis
All our actions bring either correction or harm. Even a moment of being idle is time that you did not use for correction, and that means you caused destruction! Therefore, we must always be burning with desire for all-around #unity.

#Zohar, Dvarim, 32: The sons of Ishmael shall possess the Holy Land when it will be empty for many years. They will hinder the sons of Israel’s return. Rabbi Ishmael (1st CBC): He is called Ishma-el (God will hear), as God will hear the laments of His people from the Ishmaelites

Escaping the #ego-Egypt-Pharaoh toward Israel-Creator happens via the long path, through the desert and the Red (end) sea. Long because it’s distant to the heart and mind in terms of self-calculations. Through this path one escapes the ego and can no longer return to it.

You will head home with a healthy, rational and practical approach to life, personally and globally—an approach very much needed in today’s globally interdependent reality #WhyAttendAKabbalahConvention  …

#Spiritual work_ML #Passover
In the beginning, in Egypt/egoism, they felt it as good & hence didn’t feel like slaves. But Pharaoh dies – the greatness of the egoism in their eyes and they see themselves being ruled by it; they cry out & receive liberation & opportunity to unite.

#Spiritual work_ML #Passover
Whence will one get a desire to receive attainment prepared by the Creator (light)? By descending into the ego (Egypt/self-love), equal to the light prepared by the Creator. Then exit ego and receive the light- revelation of the Creator- bestowal/love

#Spiritual work_ML
“The fulfillment of the Commandments is possible only in the land of Israel.” Meaning that the fulfillment of the Commandments occurs by correcting the intention to bestow & love (Israel/Yashar-El/stratight to the Creator) in every desire (razon/eretz/earth).

#Spiritual work_ML #Passover
Midrash Tanhuma: Fearing the Creator, yet working for Pharaoh don’t allow to exit Egypt. They follow commandments for self. Beware, they seem to work for the Creator, but serve the Pharaoh/ego. Their society is dangerous for wishing to exit the #ego.

#FreeWill_ML
All problems in the world are to push us to unite. Jews quickly evolved using Kabbalah, but stopped at learning the properties of bestowal & love. They started to mingle with their ego, which divided people into 2 camps & led to destruction of the 1st & 2nd Temples.

#Spiritual work_ML #Passover
In the group, all have one goal: reveal the Creator in the center of unity via similarity of forms, ours and His. We relate to Him with our intention. As soon as we connect with it, He is immediately revealed. This is called the birth of the #soul.

#SpiritualWork_ML
I always direct myself аt the Creator- cause of everything happening to me; but between us I see this world presenting me with problems. I need to imagine this world as a reflection of my inner properties. Through the perception of #reality, I see myself in it.

#Reality_ML
The #world I see should be found within as my internal properties. Imagine within yourself all the phenomena in the world – if I try to correct my attitude towards them, i.e. change my desire to bestowal – then I’ll be like the Creator & achieve adhesion with #Him

#SpiritualWork_ML
There are 613 Commandments; each contains the light of its degree in relation to the 613 parts of the soul. So, in fulfillment of the Commandment, the light is attracted to the part of the soul related to it (#Rabash Vol1 “The Importance of the Prayer of Many”)

#Kabbalah is no more and no less than the order of upper roots descending one by one according to permanent, absolute laws, pursuing, uniting and attaining the one upper goal, “To reveal the Creator to the creatures in this world.”
Baal HaSulam #consciousliving

#Reality_ML
The #commandments of the #Torah are laws and rules of the upper world, which are, in turn, roots of the laws of our world. Therefore, the laws of Torah are always and in every way similar to the laws of our world.

#Kabbalist’s_advice
It is pointless to conceal the chasms between us—they are necessary in order to engage the equivalent, positive force of unity and love.
#MotivationMonday #success

Events in the world will change if #humanity changes. All options of development are in front of us at every given moment:
– slightly toward good—the world becomes kinder
– slightly toward evil—crueler.
Everything depends on #man’s free choice.

One who reads a holy book describing actions of bestowal, understands to the degree he rises above egoism, becoming similar to the upper world; he reads it as medicine from adversity, studies for knowledge, studies in a group- to be reformed by the upper light.

# SpiritualWork_ML
The Torah, the method of raising man to the level of the Creator, has 3 parts:
1 Weakening (Tushiya)
2 Correcting the ego (Tavlin)
3 Fulfilling—Light of Torah
1&2 -preparation for receiving Torah, correction of man’s nature
3 -Torah coming from the Creator

It says: The Creator’s face is in those who do #evil
Those wishing to follow the Creator’s path see that they always do evil, so they ask Him and do everything so He’ll help them leave evil, with His Light. “The Creator’s face is in those who do evil” in order to correct them!

#Evil is evil if that’s how one feels it
The size of evil depends on the hurdle of attaining good
If one values correction he feels evil in the hurdles of correction
Thus, one feels evil if he values spirituality
Evil begets hate for egoism—a hurdle against love for the Creator

#SpiritualWork_ML #Pesach
When one began studying, he enjoyed work in #egoism
Then a descent comes from above so one feels exile from #spirituality in egoism’s rule, &
asks for redemption.
If one can’t bestow, he suffers, wishing to give & love, and asks to be freed of egoism.

#SpiritualWork_ML
When exiting Egypt, they received intention to bestow, Light of Hassadim.
At the Red Sea, the Light of Hochma shone.
Receiving Torah below = “We will do and hear.”
The miracle is from above &Torah is from below, given to people at their request (not in the sky)

#Passover
The commandment of telling about the exodus from Egypt. To awaken the root of redemption from egoism and entrance into the spiritual world. All the following degrees come from this one. This degree awakens all upper degrees. Thus, it’s enough to eat Matza only on Pesach.

#Passover
Updates in man start with exit from Egypt, egoism’s/Pharaoh’s rule. Until then, he doesn’t understand what Torah talks about since he’s ruled by egoism and can’t be ruled by/understand the Creator. By coming out of Egypt, man can receive Torah & work for the Creator.

#Passover
The need for Torah, the tool to correct egoism, arises when one discovers he’s an egoist and egoism is evil! Until then, he doesn’t study Torah, the method of egoism’s correction, to attain “From love of man to love of the Creator,” but knowledge –Hochma BaGoyim Taamin.

#Pesach
Rabash said: #Matza Shmura (guarded) indicates that one must be guarded and detach from egoism when performing spiritual acts, acts of correcting egoism. If we don’t know how to guard ourselves from #egoism, we replace the main aspect of Torah with a secondary one…!

#SpiritualWork_ML #Pesach
Only redemption from exile makes the previous exile feel bitter.
Before redemption, one cannot tell how bitter exile is.
It’s because only Light gives the sensation/realization of #darkness. While there is no #Light, there is no attainment of darkness!

#SpiritualWork_ML #Pesach
#Pesach teaches us to feel the exile—from unity, and redemption is the opportunity to unite. #Separation reveals the sense of exile from unity, giving rise to a desire to be free from egoism’s/Pharaoh’s rule, to gain #freedom from egoism.

#SpiritualWork_ML
We experience ascent 620 times greater than descent.
One feels descent in his personal egoism.
During ascent, when we unite, we feel the common desire for mutual bestowal, the sum of efforts/pleas to the Creator. This amplifies the sensation of ascent 620-fold.

#SpiritualWork_ML
There is a #Pesach custom to discuss #exodus from exile and imagine that we are coming out of Egypt – egoism dividing us.
It’s because when we talk about the exile, we grow the sense of exile inside us and gather up forces for our future #redemption from it.

#SpiritualWork_ML #Pesach
Before redemption from Egyptian slavery, the nation was on the lowest, 49th degree of egoism. The Creator was then revealed & freed them.
Before revealing the Creator, they thought other forces exist too.
But the redemption exposed that there is only He.

#SpiritualWork_ML #Pesach
Remember what Amalek did to you during exodus from Egypt. #Amalek is man’s egoism. It is exposed when man strives to become free from its rule, wishing to escape to spiritual work, unity. #Egoism then appears and obstructs namely this aspiration!

#SpiritualWork_ML #Pesach
Remember how you were a slave in Egypt, because in spiritual ascent one must study the previous descent. In descent, one’s perception is flawed and one thinks only of improving his lot.
Only in ascent can one make use of the past descent.

Desires are made by the Creator and there are no new ones. But man’s awareness determines how much he discerns/connects them. In descent, he reveals exile, Egypt, and according to the depth of this awareness, he can attain #redemption, exodus from Egypt.

# Spiritual work_ML
#Mount Sinai – mountain of #hatred
Because hatred was born:
1 In non-attaining the spiritual world – to the Torah, a means of spiritual ascension
2 To #ego – in the heart of the aspiring to the goal of creation
3 To the Torah as Light that Reforms
#Kabbalah

#CrisisSolution
It is impossible to change the selfish nature of man, although crises will reveal to us how tightly all of us are interconnected, & therefore must unite to observe the rule “Love your neighbor as yourself.” The solution is in the help of the correcting light O’M! [Ohr Makif]

#FreeWill_ML
In the days of #ARI great resistance was raised against him, they didn’t believe in his spiritual attainment (written in his own works) only generations later his works were accepted & they began talking about his spiritual attainments Likutei #Alahot Birkat Rai 4

Creation of the soul: To restrict one’s desires & mind to a point and cling to the Creator. In all obstacles, arising in mind & desire cling to Him. From points of adhesion create body of the #soul. Gradually begin to understand the plan of the #Creator #Wisdom

#Spiritual work_ML
#Holy #books are written by those in holiness i.e., in bestowal, love, similar to & in attainment of the #Creator. If one writes from a sensation of the Creator, out of a desire to bring good to everyone, from love of others as for oneself—such work is holy.

#Kabbalah_ML
Individual desire to attain the Creator isn’t a soul. It’s just a small part of the common soul that can’t feel the spiritual but only the desire to feel the Creator. After -realization that attaining the Creator is attaining unity in unifying the parts of the soul.

#UnifiedUpperForce_ML
If one aims himself only at one principle that all that occurs in his world comes from a single upper force and that “There is none else but Him”, then any pain is a signal that one needs to direct himself at the Creator, unity, & #goodness more accurately.

To enter the upper world is to begin feeling not in the natural desire to receive- ego, but in a new property- desire to give. Transition from receiving information, thoughts & feelings for self to #altruistic desire occurs under the impact of the upper light #UnifiedUpperForce

#Kabbalah_ML
– Why does the Creator create situations that disgrace me in the study of Kabbalah? He creates & then exposes them.
– To show you where your ego is still present. Shame is an indicator of the ego. Opt for shame of unwillingness to correct what He points out to you.

What Can Israel Do About Its ‘Brain Drain’ Problem
I understand what lies at the heart of #scientists, #academics and other great minds who are making the decision to leave #Israel.
 #israel #BrainDrain #StartUpNation #technology

#Adviceofkabbalist
– How can I cancel my ego if I have nothing but the ego in me?
– This is why we are organized in a group, in a connection with the friends – so that my ego serves them & their egos help me. Mutual inclusion into each other creates an anti-egoistic field! #EGO

#SpiritualWork_ML
– How can an animal body interfere with the #spiritual work?
– An animal body can interfere if it is out of control. But if a person rules it, uses selfish desires for correction so that spiritual motives drive him, he evolves!

#Antisemitism#Holocaust
– What did Kabbalah advise the Jews to do during the Holocaust?
– All Kabbalists of the 20-30s of the XX century urged the Jews to leave Europe. But no one listened to us, just like today! No one wants to realize that our disunity creates #Antisemitism

#SpiritualWork_ML
If I relate to everything as I relate to myself -there is no difference between me & what is outside of me, I feel the world as a whole, sense the light that fills it, unified force of the Creator; I reveal the truth for the sake of which I exist in this world.

#Spiritualwork_ML
We study not the light itself but us against the background of this light; we sense being opposite to the light and obtain the desire to ask for similarity. Shining, the light reveals in us an egoistic desire & that it is an evil inclination which carries evil.

#Reality_ML
Desire to receive and desire to bestow – only they, their combinations, form the spiritual world & everything that fills it. We must acquire the qualities of bestowal in order to see the #spiritual world and its forces. And our #world exists only in our imagination.

#Spiritualwork_ML
Connecting students of Kabbalah into a group by YOUR effort creates the vessel of YOUR soul. If someone else -it’s HIS soul. Each of us is a cell in a body that tries to attach to itself the whole organism. This way YOU gain the whole “body” desire, your soul.

#Reality_ML
All types of matter of our world are lifeless, for they acquire their forms by force that rules them. If in the matter of our world emerges a desire to change itself, this matter becomes spiritual. Spiritual matter, unlike the non-spiritual, is able to change itself.

If we saw the forces designing our world, we would find that it is not the #CO2 emission affecting the ecology and atmosphere, as it seems; but that the “atmosphere” is determined by upper forces whose main constituent is our desires and thoughts, mind & heart #Crisis

#Reality_ML
I heard: “I know your opinion-that the Jews are to blame!” This is not my opinion, but the law of nature. We can show the world an example of unity. This will correct the attitude of the world to us! Kabbalah is the method of uniting people. It corrects #Antisemitism!

#Reality_ML
The meaning of crisis in Kabbalah isn’t the beginning of problems, but the birth of the new. Including a critical dangerous state; “babies reached the time of delivery” (crisis) and there’s no strength to give birth (Ishayahu37.2) Also a childbirth seat -Talmud Arahin

Disliking others equals disliking the Creator (Avot 84). In the 2nd Temple there were righteous & sages, but it fell precisely due to their #hatred of one another and failure to observe “Love thy neighbor” in practice, which includes all of the Torah (Sharey Kedusha, p2 Shaar 4)

Some say that action matters most re Commandments.
Yet, it is written: “The Creator cares not how to butcher cattle, the Commandments were given for man’s correction.” After all, if actions aren’t aimed at the goal, they are empty, and a #Commandment is dead without an intention.

-Why is our #life arranged so that one’s pleasure is always at the expense of another’s suffering?
-You can’t escape it–our interconnection is more powerful than us, and yet we’re all #egoists. If we want to enjoy together, we must learn to feel like a single whole.

#Free_will_ML
“The common religion of the whole world must be the attitude of #Love_your_friend_as_yourself.
Beyond that, every people or group can choose any #faith for themselves.”
