Diseases Are A Result Of Relationships

Remark: Scientists have determined that the cause of 32 to 40% of all diseases are not caused by viruses or bacteria but by emotional disorders, stresses, and psychological traumas that arise as a result of relationships between people.

My Comment: Certainly, if the nervous system is the basis for the regulation of all the body’s systems and if the balance is broken, they are out of balance, then this is the cause of all diseases.

The diseases may be unrelated to the nerves. The nervous system holds the entire body in the right condition and therefore has such an influence on it.

My Facebook Page: “Trump’s Tax Cut: Will It Trickle?”

What do you think would happen if we launched a campaign similar in its intensity to the “Me Too” campaign, but denouncing those who systematically hoard extreme wealth and avoid contributing to society?

My Facebook Page: “On Net Neutrality”

From My Facebook Page Michael Laitman 12/28/17

The moment money became a factor in the Internet’s playing field, it completely lost its neutrality. The behavior of paying various net influencers to advertise whatever advertisers want cancels the very principle of neutrality.

The web’s founders gave the Internet as a gift. They hoped it would positively serve human society’s development. Today, unfortunately, the Internet looks more like a crowded marketplace. However, there is a positive aspect to this form the Internet has evolved into: it raises public awareness of the real evil growing inside us. The unrestrained ego takes hold of infrastructures that were supposedly made to benefit us, such as search engines and social networks, and subjects them to exploitation on account of the public.

If we envision a harmonious human society, where a principle such as neutrality is unadulterated by the constant, devious workings of the ego, then we would require an alternative Internet network. Such a network would leave the ego outside. Therefore, when a certain awakened segment of society accepts upon themselves the task of building a network where all its members enthusiastically work to be a source of positive inspiration for the entire network, we will then witness the nucleus of the next Internet, the basis for a new reality that will keep to its word of upholding pro-social values, neutrality among them.

My Facebook Page: “UN General Assembly”

From My Facebook Page Michael Laitman 12/22/17

If the UN General Assembly were to convene today to discuss the establishment of the State of Israel, it is likely that its members would have voted against it, and possibly some would abstain.

The time has come to recognize that the Jewish state doesn’t have a lot of friends among the 193 countries that make up the General Assembly. The widespread support for the condemnation of the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is further proof of this.

In moments like this, where we clearly see that almost the entire world is against us, we should stop and try to understand why we are so rejected, hated and unworthy in the eyes of the world. Is there a deeper cause for this aversion?

According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, anti-Israelism is not a passing political phenomenon, but rather an expression of natural laws that govern human society.

About 4,000 years ago, the people of Israel were founded as humanity’s first model of social unity above differences.

Since then, they hold the key to social unity across all of human society. When the people of Israel unite above conflicts and disputes, they spread unity throughout the world, but when they are separated and distant from each other, they evoke the separative forces in the world, which repeatedly appear in bursts of resentment and hatred towards the Jewish people.

The irrational hatred growing stronger every day reminds us the hard way that we have a role. And even though we would be happy to shirk this role, it is impossible. The Jewish people carries within the social ideal of love for mankind above all differences, and only the return to the realization of this principle can eradicate the hatred of the world towards us.

Kabbalists explain that we, the Jews, determine the fate of the world. “Just as the organs of the body cannot exist for one moment without the heart,” the Book of Zohar states, “so all nations cannot exist in the world without Israel.”

Unity among the Jewish people enables unity around the world, and the separation between them also separates the other nations, essentially “sealing” the pipelines of the natural abundance that comes from unity. Thus, it provokes wars and hatred in humanity. This dynamic is what’s pushing the nations of the world to attack the spiritual root called “Israel” and try to destroy it, because it is inherently felt as the “source of all evil” in the world.

In the words of Yehuda Ashlag, the greatest Kabbalist of the 20th century: “The Israeli nation was established as a ‘transit,’ which at the same rate that Israel itself is bonded, so they transfer their power to the rest of the nations.”

The decision taken yesterday in an emergency hearing, a resolution condemning Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and calling for its nullification, should serve as a reminder of the Jewish role: to unite and be “a light unto nations.”

From The Tree Of Knowledge To Our Days

Question: What are the connections between us that the Creator is revealed in?

Answer: We are updating the connection that existed between us before the shattering; we are trying to strengthen it. This work, although it seems complicated to us, is actually quite simple.

There was a four-letter structure of HaVaYaH with all kinds of secondary private HaVaYaH. It was built from the first nine Sefirot. They had the Light, a screen, 288 parts, Lights (RAPACH). These first nine Sefirot were joined by Malchut to carry out the complete correction (Gmar Tikkun).

That is, 32 more pieces were added to RAPACH to make 620—a perfect structure. But it was impossible to do this because an additional desire to enjoy was revealed, which was not known beforehand, as in shattering of the vessels in the world of Nekudim.

This is how shattering happened—the sin of the Tree of Knowledge. These 32 parts, Malchut that cannot be corrected by the intention for bestowal mixed with all the nine Sefirot, including all their private sub-Sefirot, and because of Malchut, the entire structure shattered, which means it acquired the desire to receive for the sake of reception.

That is, the intention shattered and not the connection. The network of connections remained. But the type of connections within this network has become for the sake of reception, and therefore, it is called shattering. A good aspiration from one to another shattered and instead of it, an evil aspiration was revealed.

Now we need to fix this. But we do not have to search between whom and with whom to establish connections. The Creator brought a person to the group, to a teacher, to a good fate and said: “Choose this!” We just have to change the intention: what do I connect with others for, what do I want from this connection? That is, we do not correct the connections between us but only the type of these connections. And this is what the entire correction is about.

A connection between all people exists. It is only necessary to correct the quality of the connections: from the intention “for one’s own sake” to “for the sake of bestowal.” According to this, we will discover ever greater opportunities and new connections, but they will open up on the path of correction.

Therefore, all that we need to do is to acquire an altruistic intention instead of an egoistic intention, which will be revealed. We must only make efforts to transform same connections into bestowal. For this purpose, we study The Book of Zohar and the rest of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

We Are Afraid Of War

Remark: According to many interviews and published articles, the world is at the brink of a looming world war…

My Comment: North Korea claims that the end of the world will begin with it: if something happens to us, then bear in mind, the same will happen to the world.

Of course they have little strength for this, but they do have the desire.

Korea’s leader Kim Jong-Il is an intelligent person. He understands that he has many military leaders behind him, and the military industrial complex of North Korea, incidentally, is not bad.

I think that he needs this only in order to bring attention to himself, to his persona, to his nation, to his country. And he is doing it well. We must admit that the way all Western media write about him, it would cost so many millions of dollars to get them to print anything about him at all! And so, he shoots one rocket that flies over Saudi Arabia and what a resounding around the world!

So, I consider him a very good PR man.

Question: What is the purpose, according to the upper plan, of such points in the world as North Korea?

Answer: To pull strings.

It is very simple. The Creator needs to pull the strings of humanity’s egoism, strike a blow to our arrogance, so that no one raises his nose above his head. It needs to be shown to us, demonstrated to us, what we really are.

Look how completely out of control the mass media is today—what they are doing with the world, how they distort everything. They have the gall to take it upon themselves to define what is good, what is bad, and to shape the opinions and the consciousness of society.

Question: And what is the upper goal in all this?

Answer: So that in the end, when all this escalates beyond all boundaries and even to complete irrationality and meaninglessness, then the entire worthlessness of humanity’s consciousness, nature, and arrogance will be revealed.

Mass media!—What a name! But in the end, it will devour itself. And as a result humanity will profit; it will finally realize that, in itself, it can produce only falsehood.

Through this process people will acquire very powerful means for the correct kind of progress.

Question: In other words, I begin to realize that everything is a complete lie: that which I say, that which everyone else says; what’s going to happen to me then?

Answer: The realization that the entire world is compromised. We simply don’t know how to exist, what to do next. In other words, awareness of evil will be realized in full.

Question: And you call this point “good”?

Answer: Of course. From the realization of evil one can begin to build the good.

Love And Hatred

Question: Why is love always perceived as something elevated and beautiful and hatred as bad and evil?

Answer: This is natural because love evokes positive feelings in us and brings joy. As a rule, it does not cause pain and harm to anyone. A person is elevated through it.

It is not just about love between a man and woman. We are talking about love for children, for a neighbor, for nature, and for everything. Love is a positive feeling because it comes from the feeling of the correct attitude of the Creator toward the creatures.

However, in us, it clothes in our egoism and therefore turns into something opposite— into love for oneself and no more for anyone and anything else. It manifests itself on all levels: food, sex, family, wealth, power, fame, and knowledge.

Therefore, love dressed in egoism can be very cruel. It manifests itself in completely opposite qualities, in hatred for everything, the opposite to this love. However, this is just in our world.

And if we are talking about the upper state of love, there love is above our egoism, the same way it is in the external nature, like in the Creator.

Slender Figure: Beauty Or Harm To Health?

Question: What are the spiritual roots of the general propaganda and the desire of women to have a trim, slender figure? Why can some people reach this goal relatively easily and others with a great difficulty?

Answer: This is female egoism, which wants to support itself in this way. Therefore, the desire to be slender was elevated to a special rank. Moreover: cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, hairdressers, and everything else work for it.

My acquaintance has a big beauty salon. He told me what a fight for clients happens in this area and what large amounts of money are invested there!

Remark: Once, the image of a healthy person was completely different from what it is now.

My Comment: Yes. If earlier the ideal figure measurements were considered 90-60-90 (centimeters), nowadays they are much less, and health has nothing to do with it. All these attitudes are completely unviable. In the end, they are harmful to health.
Both a woman and a man should have a normal build.

I hope we will start evaluating people by their social inclusion and by how much communication with them is close and pleasant to us. And if one of them is 10 kilograms more, it will not repel us. We will be attracted by the inner properties of the person.

Naturally, a person should take care of himself, but not in such a way as to correspond to some fantastic, absolutely unnecessary standards.

New Life 196 – Creating A Relationship As A Couple, Part 2
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

Love is born from mutual investment. Sex reveals additional depth in the communication between partners. Self-awareness and awareness of one’s partner help us to be flexible and accommodate one another. An ideal relationship occurs when two become one and the couple then also unites with society as a whole.

What Is The Feeling Of Disgust?

Question: What is the property of disgust? Where does it come from and why do we need it?

Answer: The feeling of disgust is a feeling of inconsistency with someone or something, when you feel that it is not yours.

Disgust arises when there is me and something outside of me, and this something is incompatible with me. Then I neglect it, disdain it, push it away. But when this “something” is inside of me, I feel the opposite, I love it.

It happens that a person, seemingly so squeaky clean, disdains anything and everything, but has no disgust with himself. This is an egoistic manifestation toward what is outside of me.

How To Become Immortal

Remark: Humanity has always tried to understand what a soul is, why people react to everything differently, why they perceive the world exactly in this way and not another. The study of this led to the development of psychology.

My Comment: For thousands of years, Kabbalists have very seriously studied what a soul is and attained it. They not only conducted research and wrote books, but they revealed it from their own experience, absolutely reliably.

But due to the fact that humanity could not attain the soul, it invented religions that promised a person immortality for performing certain actions in this world.

In fact, in order to become immortal, we must exit our egoism because it destroys us, swallows us into itself. Rising above it, we acquire the quality of bestowal, exit into the next dimension, and thus begin to really feel immortality.

A person can reach this in our world, in this life, now—he does not need to die at all to experience it. This is the purpose of Kabbalah. Study it and you will see how close this can be to you.

Answers To Your Questions, Part 195

Question: Is attainment of the Creator a kind of wonderful feeling of super-intelligence, full of knowledge, or is it simply a feeling of union with the world and love for people?

Answer: It includes all the senses and all the mind.

Question: Is it worth reading something about the wisdom of Kabbalah and thinking about the group of ten during my daily work at my job? Why specifically yes or no?

Answer: It is necessary to try not to be detached from the true picture of the world.

Question: How long did you study before crossing the Machsom (barrier)? What is the average period of time until one crosses the Machsom?

Answer: A few years, no less than 5.
[215195]

Does Kabbalah Help Us Understand Our Actions?

Question: Does Kabbalah help us understand the motivations and intentions of our actions and the actions of others?

Answer: Yes, of course. You need to analyze all your actions and desires.

And in addition, you also need to come to realize how much these actions are not yours. Everything that happens to you, you do not create, you do not make; you have no one to ask for forgiveness and no one to blame, including yourself. All of this was done by the Creator. He even said as much: “I have created the evil inclination.” And immediately added: “And gave you light, for you to correct the evil.”

Comment: Can you imagine if in court a person said: “The Creator did all this”?

Answer: No, in the court of law, there is no one to talk to. But if you are talking to yourself, you must admit to yourself that you have done nothing independently in your life: nothing good and nothing bad.

Your only real actions will be those you do when you start working above the screen—above the Machsom.

Answers To Your Questions, Part 207

Question: What kind of role does the imagination have in the wisdom of Kabbalah? What is its place on the tree of Sefirot on any one of its levels?

Answer: Imagination helps us only in the process of attainment; it doesn’t exist independently.

Question: According to what scheme should one focus for the importance of something within myself so that this importance will not remain concealed until the world of infinity, so as not to go outside of the group, but also not to become dependent on the external manifestations of the group, like physical bodies, but in a spiritual context?

Answer: it is possible to do this only with the help of mutual support, Arvut (mutual guarantee)!
[217346]

Does The Creator Have Emotions?

Question: Does the Creator have emotions?

Answer: We do not speak about the Creator. Regarding us, the Creator has no emotions. He is the absolute to whom we attribute our feelings, our actions, our thoughts, because it is convenient for us.

But in Him, there is nothing, and His attitude toward us is absolutely the same. He does not change, He is perfect. Therefore, His attitude toward us can be called absolute love, bestowal, and a good influence.

Saying that the Creator is angry, the Creator is dissatisfied, the Creator needs to do this or that, we speak from ourselves, because it is so much easier for us to direct ourselves to something that also changes in accordance with our actions. But in fact, there are no changes.

Moreover, the Creator is completely indifferent to how we behave and what we do. We ourselves begin to attain: “I need to behave differently; I have to be better, to rise above, etc. What do I attain, how does the world change?” But the Creator is above all our greatest intentions. It does not affect Him.

When we say that we want to give pleasure to the Creator, to bestow something to Him, to love Him—it is all about changing a person, and that is it!

“So Miriam Was Confined Outside The Camp”

Torah, Numbers 12:15 – 12:16: So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not travel until Miriam had entered. Then the people departed from Hazeroth, and they camped in the desert of Paran.

Question: Miriam is a very strong female image in the Torah. What is Miriam in a person?

Answer: Moses and Aaron are the two sides of the movement toward the Creator. Miriam is the lowest part, Malchut, that connects Moses and Aaron.

She continues the chain of prophetesses who came from Babylon (Sarah, Rebecca, Leah, and Rachel) and is their collective image. Now she accompanies the entire camp of the people of Israel, that is, the entire movement of a person to the Creator. When this quality is no longer required, she dies.

If it is written in the Torah that a person in the camp is sick, it means that he undergoes a spiritual correction and it is necessary to wait until it is over. It is impossible to advance without this. You cannot move forward because you have sick qualities. Miriam represents their common quality, common desire. Naturally since she fell ill with leprosy, she must be corrected. Only after this it is possible to move on.

It has never happened that the people would leave the sick in the desert. The movement forward is based on the fact that you constantly reveal egoistic qualities, correct them, and move on.

Question: Why does Moses pray for the people, for Miriam, all the time?

Answer: He always does what the Creator desires.

The fact is that Moses is the highest point in the soul that pulls a person to complete correction, to adhesion with the Creator. Moses, in this quality, is constantly fulfilling the inner desires of the Creator.

Look how they play! The Creator is constantly threatening the people and Moses protects them because Moses and the Creator are as if one whole, and all the rest are those qualities that must be corrected.

There Is None Else Besides Him

Question: What does it mean “There is none else besides Him”?

Answer: That’s exactly what we must discover. In other words, there exists a cause to everything that you could possibly imagine, and this cause is a single, sole source.

This cause arranges, decides, accomplishes, and functions in everything, and it is called “There is none else besides Him.” Who is He?—the force of bestowal and love. Those are His qualities with respect to us. Aside from that, we know nothing about Him.

Question: How am I supposed to work with that?

Answer: You need to constantly reveal Him in every situation, in every action, intention, and thought—in everything—with the understanding that there is a single cause to everything. After all, our nature is matter, the desire to receive, and what brings it into action in all its forms is that same single force besides which nothing else exists.

Why does this force animate matter? Because it wants to push the material world toward unity. Why? It prepared for matter the ability to attain that same single force that is the cause of everything, but the matter has to attain the state of unity first.

And then this matter, to the extent to which it is connected in spite of its resistance, attains “There is none else besides Him,” this single force, and while attaining it, experiences itself existing and in control.

Moreover, above its own experience of existence, it also attains what it means to exist and be in control of all of reality, since that same reason, “There is none else besides Him,” gives this matter, this creation, the ability to be on His level, on the level of the Creator. And then the entire world, the entire created desire to receive, is in control of that same desire and not under the control of the Creator. That is what is meant by perfection.

From the 1st part of the Daily Kabbalah Lesson 12/15/17, “Lesson on the Topic: “Hanukkah by the Wisdom of Kabbalah”

Aiming Toward Love

MAN is not the heavenly manna that falls from above, but a prayer that a person raises from below and becomes fulfilled by it. It is the drive forward, not the reception, but the aim, the push, the daring that fulfills him, and by this he lives.

Only through the aiming toward love does a person feel pleasure, which is called the sweet labor of love, without which it does not exist.

Fulfillment is only the request to the Creator. That is why the prayer in Hebrew is called “tfila” from the word “lehitpalel,” which means to judge oneself. Although you are not asking anyone for anything, you scrutinize and understand yourself. You do not need to address anyone; it is sufficient to reach the aspiration for the goal and not to search for the goal itself.

Only those working on spiritual correction and going through everything themselves can understand this. No one else can.

Even for those who engage in this and even for those who are engaged, it takes a long time before the aspiration forward is not for oneself without any reception, absolutely selfless, and becomes their inner need. But this is the true spiritual state.

So, it is specifically the desert where you eat the manna—that is the ideal state. You have nothing other than the aspiration forward, toward love and bestowal.

You still cannot use your “Pharaoh” (ego) that sits in your “duffel bag,” but you already start aiming forward. And then your drive will increase so much that without expecting that this desire will grow in you, you will gradually begin pulling it out and changing it into aiming forward.

And then you will be able to act. Like the Creator acts in bestowal you will, with the help of the Pharaoh, act on working in bestowal. Specifically the black force of the Pharaoh is what will give you the ability to bestow.

“He Is Faithful Throughout My House”

Torah, Numbers 12:02 – 12:08: They said, “Has the Lord spoken only to Moses? Hasn’t He spoken to us too?” And the Lord heard. Now this man Moses was exceedingly humble, more so than any person on the face of the earth. The Lord suddenly said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, “Go out, all three of you, to the Tent of Meeting!” And all three went out. The Lord descended in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the Tent. He called to Aaron and Miriam, and they both went out. He said, “Please listen to My words. If there be prophets among you, [I] the Lord will make Myself known to him in a vision; I will speak to him in a dream. Not so is My servant Moses; he is faithful throughout My house. With him I speak mouth to mouth; in a vision and not in riddles, and he beholds the image of the Lord. So why were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?

The level of Moses is in the attainment of the Creator. And the attainment of the Creator occurs in the corrected state of a man. That is, Moses is many levels higher in his correction than Aaron and Miriam.

Being below him, they do not understand it and object. The lower degree never understands the higher one. In the spiritual, the higher degree seems absolutely illogical.

In our world, for example, this is manifested in the upbringing of children—they also do not want to agree with us. And this is natural.

And in the spiritual state, the higher degree seems stupid, small-minded, unclear, illogical—without a conscious approach, because each time you exercise greater faith above reason. You only need to annul yourself, close your eyes and follow the higher degree, either against your will or by decided it is necessary.

Question: What does God talk about with Miriam and Aaron?

Answer: Miriam and Aaron are at the level of prophecy. A prophet is a person the Creator speaks with. He even sees some manifestations of the Creator in the Reflected Light (Ohr Hozer). But generally this is the attainment through the property of Bina. Therefore, the degree of Bina is called “hearing.”

It is said: “With him I speak mouth to mouth,” meaning, without hiding anything, without passing through any transformations and weakenings—that which is in Me, he receives too. This is the highest degree of adhesion of the soul with the Creator.

Question: What does it mean “he is faithful throughout My house”?

Answer: Moses fully mastered the property of Bina. When Malchut ascends to Bina, this is the house of the Creator.

The Bitcoin Phenomenon

The day will come when, by virtue of a new quality of interconnection between us, a new “currency” will emerge.

Below is a seven-year graph showing the Bitcoin-USD exchange rate, with an unprecedented rise in 2017 (Buy Bitcoin Worldwide).

Impressive, isn’t it?

Obviously, I am not a market analyst or expert on cryptocurrencies. However, Bitcoin is certainly not just a financial phenomenon. It is founded upon the attempt to create a completely new type of universal value.

It would seem that there is nothing backing the “virtual currency” except cryptographic algorithms. However, that is no laughing matter. After all, cryptography is intended to provide reliability and trust, which is already valuable in itself. It is as if the creators of the new coin are declaring: human nature with its “baggage” has no access to our territory.

The modern financial system cannot boast of having this feature; there, money is produced by banks and is a factor of the political and economic influences of specific countries and organizations. In other words, the “old” money serves very specific interests.

On the other hand, right before our eyes, a new, extra-governmental, extra-historical currency is being born, setting claim to becoming a universal, absolute equivalent, and even to driving gold out of its immovable position.

It is being born because the need for it is ripe. After all, globalization, which many people criticize, really is a natural phenomenon. It reflects the current state of humanity, which has already gathered into one whole technologically, but has not yet accepted this fact psychologically.

That is why we don’t yet understand how to use the cryptocurrency, how to integrate it into the system, and how it will later influence us, the ones who created it. However, that does not change its essence: the global world is demanding a global monetary equivalent that does not depend on local, subjective “circumstances” and interests.

On the other hand, if we treat this novelty like in the olden times, with traditional means, it will lose its “charm”—its objective value as seen by the public. Yes, in the beginning of the road, Bitcoin became a convenient means for deals on the black market, which found a way in here, yet the completely legal “financial mafia” will put an end to it and will find a way to secure a grip on the new coin.

Will the illegal players be able to preserve the freedom of the cryptocurrency? One way or another, its future depends on that. There are chances for that to happen since governments and banks are also connected to the “financial mafia.”

However, if we rise above the current fuss surrounding Bitcoin, we will see how egoism on a global scale is gradually building the respective global systems for itself, and in a way that does not attach artificial ideals and ideologies to them.

There is no “good” or “evil” here, but only business in the pure form. And what difference does it make if the reciprocal trust of the parties is provided by virtual computer computations? On the contrary, that makes it even better; there will be fewer errors in the calculations.

It turns out that we are talking about global trends and, for the most part, it makes no sense to resist them.

Moreover, in the future we will develop additional universal parameters, but ones of a social nature. The day will come when, by virtue of a new quality of interconnection between us, a new “currency” will emerge—social rating, expressed by a clear equivalent that anyone can understand.

People will be able to accumulate it as well, but not sell or buy it. It is more likely to have a comparative nature while having completely real value.

After all, society, especially one that is global, cannot be based on just bare egoism alone. Of course, it is rational in its own way, but when left to its own devices, it leads to a dead-end. The social aspect in man and society must take the upper hand over self-focus so the whole will not fall apart into pieces.

These are the paradigms of a new time, whose essence is not a single currency, but new relationships between people in a united, modern world.

Kabbalah Is For The Whole World

Question: For a long time, Kabbalah was a hidden teaching for the initiated. Do you think that the wisdom of Kabbalah is too serious a teaching for ordinary people?

Answer: Kabbalah is designated for absolutely everyone. It is written about this in The Book of Zohar. All the great Kabbalists write about this: Ari, his disciple Marchu (Chaim Vital), Baal HaSulam, Rav Kook, and Rabash.

Kabbalah is not a teaching, but an above-religion science about the structure of the upper world. Each person must attain it because he is part of this system. All of us at the end of our development must reach the state where we will be integrated into it with both mind and desire as positive elements.

From Poverty To Extreme Wealth

Remark: Today, technological entrepreneurship is being cultivated in Israel. It is believed that a person with an interesting idea could jump from the status of a beggar to extreme wealth. For that reason, the future seems rosy and prosperous.

My Comment: This is the same American Dream! Everything was open before the first settlers who arrived in America. They were poor, but nothing was prohibited—by all means, do whatever you wish. Absolute freedom of enterprise. If you have the brains and an idea, all the routes were open to you. Today, it is no longer that easy. Money, language, and work permit—and you are a king.

Question: Nowadays, in different circles pursuing technological development, each person believes that they are next—they will make a career, earn billions, and start to live well. Is such faith realistic?

Answer: Today, this is still possible in high-tech since it is still held by the brilliance of the mind. There must be an idea. It can arise even in someone who is poor. Or in someone who has not even been educated, for example, like the student Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, the social networking site.

Brilliant ideas come more from Jews since their minds are arranged this way. They are intended for correct spiritual, not corporeal work. But for the time being they are not being used for their intended purpose.

Question: Are the prospects of implementing these ideas favorable from the point of view of the elite?

Answer: The elite know how to clip coupons from everything. If they were not interested in this, nothing would exist. They would have crushed everyone.

Who legalized drugs? At first they banned cigarettes: “They are so bad for you! We cannot agree with the fact that our society smokes.” And then they replaced them with drugs. In five or ten years, we will see how they will gradually get the entire population to be hooked on drugs.

Remark: I remember how in 2002 smoking was already forbidden in a hotel in Las Vegas and all the windows were closed. Back then it seemed so fantastic to me how much they were taking care of people’s health. And you said: “A strategic program is being implemented to replace smoking, which will transition into smoking drugs.”

My Comment: It was clear to see where this was heading. Nothing in the world happens just like that.

New Life #202 – Building Common Ground

New Life #202 – Building Common Ground
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

After a first date, you can build common ground by constructing an image of the other person within yourself. You need to listen without criticism and absorb the emotions of the other person as they speak in order to get to know them at the level of the soul. Attend a couples workshop together to learn about love, communication, and how to create a true family. It’s all about the inner connection!
