New Life #765 – Becoming New Creatures
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Summary

What is the next phase in human evolution? How will the change mankind undergoes be expressed and what is our role in speeding the process of evolution?

In the past we were very interested in the prospect of exploring outer space and other stars, but we are facing a very different course of development, an internal course. We have to become new creatures.

We are facing a new qualitative type of development, the discovery of the force of life, the force of the Creator; it is our operating system. Therefore, there is no point looking for life in outer space since the future course of our evolution is already inside us.

It is all inside us so there is nowhere to run. When all the people come together we will generate the new level. Our future form is one; it has nothing to do with religion, but is actually purely scientific.

The one is above time, motion, and space, above the inanimate, vegetative, animate, and the speaking level, beyond any limit.

Our future internal form is opposite from our current form. Instead of a desire to receive, it will be a desire to give and that is the upper force of bestowal.

Europe At A Crossroads, Part 2

Question: Why hasn’t Europe been able to unite despite its many years of effort?

Answer: The Europeans didn’t know how to do it. The pretty slogans of the French Revolution about freedom, equality, and brotherhood remained just words. They didn’t understand then and still don’t understand now that in order for these words to become reality a person himself must change.

But a person can’t change by himself or conquer his egoism. In order to rise above his egoistic nature he needs a special external force that will correct and change him.

The French didn’t know about it and couldn’t succeed. Therefore, the great French Revolution was replaced by other revolutions under different flags including Nazism and nowadays radical Islam. All this is due to the fact that people couldn’t understand that real connection is achieved only by changing human nature.

The method of Kabbalah is different because for the first time in history we don’t change the external systems: religion, science, culture, education, and government, but a person himself. Nobody even knows what it means, except for Kabbalists. It doesn’t mean that a person gets a little more knowledge or education and begins to treat others more ethically and in a more civilized way.

A person must rise above his egoistic nature and receive another, the altruistic one, which nobody knows about today. Kabbalah is truly a hidden wisdom that is getting revealed today and gives us an opportunity to implement all of this. However, if we don’t do this, we will see horrible disasters in the world, worse than any suffering experienced by humanity through its entire history.

A person must rise to the nature of bestowal and to really love his neighbor, not just in words. Exactly the same way he automatically thinks today about himself, he will think about the welfare of others, simply because it will be in his nature. Today, he cares only about himself and his family, i.e., about everything that belongs to him, and tomorrow he will suddenly start to think differently and care about society.

All the former European ideals and moral values seemingly calling for equality and brotherhood were completely egoistic, even though mankind considered the European approach to be a model of humanity and altruism. After all, it was so in comparison to the barbaric approach. But nobody compared it to the method that creates and builds a new altruistic person.

“We Learn Best When Learning Together”

In the News (hbr-russia.ru) : “We develop not alone. Some psychologists argue quite convincingly that a person can only grow together with others. …

“What is a high-quality communication? These are where we are connected with others in which there is a positive evaluation, reciprocity and vitality. A positive assessment – that is, the source sees the best in us, even after a brief acquaintance. Reciprocity – the openness to another person and the response to his feelings. And finally, the vital energy – in this, communication occurs as a burst of energy, as if these moments are becoming more alive. …

“The high-quality relationships we grow, because to think more broadly, rapidly absorbing knowledge becomes wider choice and actions, we are involved, we are set to play, open, easier to recover from injuries. …

“Spur your community and thus improve the relations between its members. Ask everyone to turn to each other for help and to support one another generously.

Answer: These “discoveries” are basically part of the conditions of a Kabbalistic group.

New Life #764 – The Search For Life In Outer Space
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Summary

There are laws in nature and we live in them. The vegetative level developed from the level of the still by the inner evolutionary program of nature, which is the force of life, the force that creates.

According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, the goal of our life is to discover this force of life called the soul, a discovery which will take us beyond the boundaries of the corporeal universe.

Even if we discover the conditions for the creation of life in space, it still doesn’t mean that they can develop.

The wisdom of Kabbalah turns on a light for us by which we can see a new higher dimension, above time, motion, and space. The spaceship by which we can reach the next dimension is internal, inside us, in our attributes.

“Europe Wandering Into The Abyss”

In the News (vz.ru): “Europe and the European Union are in crisis, which can lead to very serious consequences, and cannot continue to do everything as if nothing is happening, said Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.

“‘It would be a tragic mistake to continue to do everything as if nothing is happening. Europe is going through a deep crisis; it is like a sleepwalker wandering into the abyss. It is time to sound an alarm,’ – his words are transmitted by TASS.

“In an interview, Tsipras has paid particular attention to the problems of the financial and economic stability of the European Union.

“‘I am a realist, and I understand that under the current alignment of forces it is impossible to talk about the abolition of the European Stability and Growth Pact. However, I believe that it would be quite possible to make some exceptions to the rules, in particular, to scale up to support economic growth and measures to intensify the fight against unemployment. The current rules do not work, and this is indicated by the fact that in the EU there are now 22 million unemployed, and the economic growth of the community – is very weak,’ he stressed. …

“If we do not give priority to solving the problems of unemployment, then Europe would threaten a real collapse – new referendums in which the population will demand exit from the EU. Also, the governments of the EU countries opposed to the EU will continue to appear, ‘ warned Tsipras.

“‘The lack of action in the social sphere in the EU leads to the fact that small marginal politicians, racists, are in the power position and determine where to move Europe,’ he said.

“… shortly after Brexit, billionaire George Soros, predicted ‘the inevitable disintegration’ of the European Union and the United Kingdom. ‘Now the catastrophic scenario, which many feared was realized by making the disintegration of the community almost inevitable’ – Soros wrote.”

My Comment: The collapse will lead to global shocks. The solution—is only in the realization of bringing people together. We need to understand the cause of the crisis: the growing mismatch of the contradictory selfish human community (creation) and a single integrated global altruistic nature (the Creator).

The solution is to correct our nature by attracting the highly positive force that can counterbalance the negative egoistic strength of each and all of us together.

The Prohibition To Look At Women

Question: Why is there a prohibition to look at women?

Answer: It is prohibited to look at women, except for your own wife. It is a spiritual prohibition, while in our corporeal world, everything takes place on the animate level. A man feels pleasure when he looks at women, while a woman doesn’t feel any pleasure from looking at men.

A woman can feel pleasure when she sees men that behave properly and the degree to which they can ascend, correct, and perform actions in the spiritual sense. A man, on the other hand, enjoys looking at a woman’s body.

Question: What’s wrong with that?

Answer: A man engages in that on the animate level, not on the spiritual level, and it distracts him from the goal. There is nothing other than that in this prohibition.

A Reasonable Balance

Question: Is spiritual correction tested through poverty or wealth?

Answer: There is no test here! A person must live his life in a balanced way and provide everything for himself reasonably, I would even say minimally, so that everything will be simple.  The rest is invested in spiritual development. In this way a person profits in this world without wasting his energy on anything superfluous, and at the same time he gains the spiritual world.

Question: Suppose a person wants to be involved in spiritual development, in thewisdom of Kabbalah, but has no means, he is constantly engaged in earning money. How should one relate to a situation like this?

Answer: It cannot be that someone would need to be working to make money absolutely all the time if we are talking about a person’s normal, minimum, and reasonable needs.  Suppose he did begin to study Kabbalah, see how all of a sudden he would be able to balance his studies with the income that he has.

Question: There are people who want to be involved only with spirituality because the entire physical world simply repels them. They have no motivation to work, earn money, to play sports, or perform household duties.

Answer: This is natural! So I advise not neglecting work. Rabash insisted that a person work and earn. Even if he has no need for money, he should still work a particular number of hours per day.

New Life #757 – Terminology Of Love

New Life #757 – Terminology Of Love
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Summary

The Torah tells us about the internal forces that are revealed in a person who corrects himself. Men represent the ability to draw that Light that Reforms, the force that corrects the ego into the attribute of love and bestowal.The connection between a man and a woman represents a corrected system, which means a desire to receive over which an intention to bestow has been applied. Spiritual partnership is a system in which the two forces of nature are connected, the force that receives and the force that gives.

Heroism is the ability to overcome yourself, the ego, and instead of drawing for yourself moving to love everyone. Love is the strongest egoistic desire imprinted in us resulting from the upper spiritual root. Love in our world is self-love, while in the spiritual world it is the exact opposite, love of others, love thy friend as thyself.

The term “I am love sick” refers to the great desire to fill others that is impossible to implement yet. The wisdom of Kabbalah enables us to draw the Light that Reforms that develops the desire to love and the ability to reach unconditional love.

When a person who loves others does not need to receive anything in return from the loved one since the love is whole in the two inclinations—the good and the evil—so that our whole ego works for the benefit of others. All this takes place in a group of Kabbalists who establish a connection that draws the Light that Reforms and builds the attribute of love and bestowal.

The formula for that is “love will cover all our transgressions”; the ego and the hatred grow, and above them we build love between us. A person’s soul is built of two layers, infinite hatred and above it infinite love; our evolutionary process actually leads us to hatred in order to force us to learn to love.
