New Life #562 – The Origin Of Racism

New Life #562 – The Origin Of Racism
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Summary

The difference in skin coloration is deeply rooted in nature, people are white, black, yellow, and red. The problem of racism cannot be resolved, it lies within human consciousness.

Only treating it at the root is in our hands, which is education toward, “Love they neighbor as thyself,” with the help of the Light that Reforms because our ego naturally wants to rise above others, to feel that we are unique, superior.

There are four levels in the development of matter, and therefore in the human species there are white, black, yellow, and red. This division into four exists in every detail; it is the general formula of creation, YHVH (Yod- Hey-Vav-Hey). So you cannot compare them all except through transcendence to our single root. Like a mother with four children, white, black, yellow, and red—all of them are hers, they came from her.

A person looks at whatever is different from him and feels that difference, that distinction. No regular education or law will solve this. Modern development occurred among the white, after them the yellow, the red, and finally the black. This doesn’t say who is better and who is less; it is simply the order of development.

So in egoistic-human history, the white man was always arrogant and dominated others. In the United States they tried to correct the mistreatment of blacks, have invested a lot in it; in the end, they saw that it all just blew up in our faces. The only solution is to lift a person above his body, above his heart and mind, above everything earthly and material. Then the person gets a new, spiritual perception; he looks at the other according to his spiritual characteristics.

The only solution is to raise a person to the root of all of us, to a level where there are no distinctions and differences. The wisdom of Kabbalah gives a person new values of bestowal and new characteristics that can take a person out of himself toward others. “Love your neighbor as yourself” is the only thing that will eliminate racism completely; there is no other solution!
