Question: Why does a relationship between a man and a woman end?

Answer: People do not know how to value their relationships; they have not been taught.

Question: How can you keep the intensity and passion of sex?

Answer: I think this is a very complex, multifaceted question. If they are healthy partners, they will find how to keep the intensity and passion.

They should appreciate each other, think about how to please the other, and then they will succeed.

Question: But according to Kabbalah, a person’s desire is fulfilled, and that is it. We see that many couples face a problem when in the course of life they lose some kind of sharpness, brightness of relationships, including sexual ones.

Answer: It is necessary to bring a game into the relationship.

Question: In our world, sacrifices are offered to God in a certain place. Where is this place of sacrifice in spirituality?

Answer: In the heart. Nowhere else.

Question: Does it mean that the Temple is the heart?

Answer: Yes. Only.

Question: Can we conclude that previously sacrifices meant bringing people’s hearts closer to each other?

Answer: Yes, as it is said: “As one man with one heart.”

Question: And then all this disappeared somewhere, and people began to build external temples in which sacrifices were made?

Answer: In general, yes.

Question: Or should it go in parallel since we exist in two worlds?

Answer: No. It does not have to go in parallel. There is no need to build any temples at all. All this must be within the person. But people started to gradually distort it.

Even for those who study Kabbalah, it is much easier to do some external action for the sake of someone than to try to connect with them internally, with the heart. Not because it is difficult, but because it is not clear how to do it. For example, bringing someone a box of chocolates is clear, but to make offerings inside the heart is not.

Comment: I’ve read very touching stories that lead to important questions. One girl writes on Facebook: “I am 13 years old. Six months ago, I started losing my hair and I lost all my hair. I refused to go to school because I was sure that everyone would laugh at me. But 12 of my friends came to me with their heads completely shaved. They did this out of solidarity with me. Three of them were girls. I burst into tears. I wrote about it on my Facebook. I was told in the comments that they didn’t do it from the heart, that they know that their hair will grow back, but yours won’t, that they just want to become famous, and so on. But I don’t want to hear them,” the girl writes. “They are still my best friends forever!”.

My Response: Of course!

Question: Tell me, please, even if this was done like what people wrote, with such an intention, what kind of act is this?

Answer: This is a high deed. It is compassion, it is empathy, and it means a lot.

Compassion is a very powerful force. As a result, they will show everyone at school how to act, what kind of relationships should be. And I think they will quickly stop paying attention to appearance.

Question: Do you think this is a step toward that?

Answer: Yes. Or maybe, on the contrary, many people at school will cut their hair out of solidarity.

Question: In spiritual understanding, what is compassion?

Answer: In the spiritual understanding, compassion is life in another.

Question: Is this an attempt to live in another, what we see with these children?

Answer: Yes, it is spiritual. This is a step that is close to spiritual.

Question: And living in another is my dissolving into him or taking him into myself? Can I say that, or does it matter?

Answer: It is in the other. I want to enter him, I want to exist in him, in all his problems.

For the first time in the history of humanity we are moving to an inverse perception of the world. We have to change our own perception.

We do not have to change the economic, sociological, political structure, and various superstructures in society. We have to change ourselves. Therefore, the transitional period should be very simple, a period of self-education and self-training.

You cannot change anything further without changing yourself, because you have to be at the foundation of radically new changes. Accordingly, the transitional period is only a period of our own adaptation to the calls of nature.

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “Is it possible to benefit from a crisis?“

We can benefit from a crisis if we understand its true cause and how we heal the world through it. Otherwise, we cannot say that we benefit from a crisis.

At their core, all crises we endure emerge from negative human connections. Likewise, their ultimate solution is for us to positively connect above our negative drives.

As much as we positively connect, we will accordingly see positive changes in the world. Positive connection means that we will trust, help, support and encourage each other more and more, and harm each other less and less.

How can you prepare yourself for the upcoming congress in the Arava so that you can be with everyone together, at its very epicenter, and not miss something very important, which will then be a thorn in your heart for many years?

If you follow the congress closely, from no matter where, then you will join it and we will all be together in the same Kli, in the same scrutinies, and in the same exercises. And in this way we will rise together.

Of course, everyone will understand this to the extent of one’s preparation. But we still have almost a month ahead of us and we can prepare so that everyone can be practically on the same level. And that means a lot.

It is better to be at a lower degree but all together, than at a higher degree with each on his own. I hope that we will integrate so that we will all be together at a certain small degree, but we will all understand each other and try to rise together. That is what is important for the congress.

So the most important thing for this congress is to be together! Not physically, but psychologically and spiritually.

It is better to be on a lower degree together than on a higher degree alone, because when I am on the same degree with the ten, I am in a spiritual Kli. And when I am on the spiritual degree alone, without a spiritual Kli, there is no guarantee that I will be able to stay there. At any moment I can fall from there.

We need to reach the end of correction at least in the ten, and then all the other tens will join. So far, there are a small number of tens at the degree of the end of correction, Rabbi Shimon’s ten and a few more. And we also want to achieve it, so we are counting on the success, not of any individual, but of at least a ten.

There is a funny story about a seven-year-old girl Gili giving parking tickets to cars parked near her house. But she wrote on the infringement note: “Thanks for the great parking” and drew a heart.

Why do only children think about making others feel good? Apparently, children are smarter than adults. After all, it does not occur to us to give each other such cards and smiles at random passers-by. The egoism of an adult is very big because we have to rise on top of it, above all nations and countries.

Instead, we go along with our egoism. It controls us, not that we control it. It is good that we have such children next to us. Let’s hope that when they grow up, they will be able to change something in this world.

Although most likely, it is now, while the children are small that they can do such noble deeds from the bottom of their hearts. Later their egoism will grow, and they will join the common competition with everyone. Maybe they will even join some party, and then we will see them handing out completely different flyers.

At the moment children want to be guided by their good intentions. Cute children! But then their egoism will grow, and they will start distributing other leaflets, campaigning for some party or against someone. In such a way they will join in the squabble going on between everyone. Cute children will be corrupted and join the ranks of the fighting parties.

It is necessary to go by faith above reason and think that salvation is only in connection. Otherwise, this is the end. We can win and stand up against everyone, but not against our egoism, which will bury us.

To take control over your egoism means to appreciate something more than a sense of your own rightness. That is, you strive to cover all crimes with love and desire nothing but that. The main thing is connecting with other people. This is the only thing that counts.

But as a child grows, his will to receive grows and forces him to make larger and more far-reaching calculations. There is nothing one can do about it, what is left is only to accept by faith above reason that everyone is obliged to concede. Instead of trying to win and outwit the other, we need to think about how to outwit ourselves in order to be together with others. The war should be internal, not external.
