What Is The Benefit Of Correction?

Question: If all events are already pre-planned, then what is the use of me changing? Whatever is meant to happen will happen anyway.

Answer: No. The world is created not for us to let it run its natural course: “Whatever will be, will be.” We should not take it this way and relate to it like that.

Question: So there is a script, but it is not predetermined? Or is there some kind of freewill for the participants of this performance?

Answer: If I could rise a degree above myself, I would find that everything in me is determined from there: what I see, what I feel, how I decide to act, and what I achieve. Everything exists on this degree.

But I don’t know this. Therefore, I must act in accordance with this supposed higher degree, without seeing, without understanding, and without knowing it, to the extent of my faith in it and in the measure of my property of bestowal.

If I have an intention to give, to adhere to the Creator, to do what He deems necessary, then I rise up to this degree, carry out whatever He has written in it, and reveal that everything is prepared in this way; there is nothing new under the sun.

But I myself reached the decision that I need to correct myself in order to see a corrected world; I depicted it before me and it materialized.

New Life #1077 – The Potion Of Death, The Elixir Of Life

New Life #1077 – The Potion of Death, The Elixir of Life
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

A Kabbalist sees the upper world because he makes a special inner correction through the force of bestowal in nature. He rises above the ego each time he receives a dose of the upper Light. He constantly improves himself in this way and experiences the real, eternal world or the elixir of life. By becoming similar to the upper Light, he gains the power of bestowal and love. In Kabbalah, using drugs as a way to feel connected to others is unacceptable since it does not allow a person to overcome his egoistic nature. Each portion of Light that a person receives imparts a quality of bestowal and allows him to become a true pipeline of love toward others.

Give All My Strength To My Ten

The first stage of spiritual work is acquiring awareness of work in the ten. The main thing is that everyone supports one’s ten, without letting anyone lose the impression of the greatness of the group, the Creator, the path, and our special destiny as a great gift.

This is checked during a descent when we do not feel the filling but are ready to remain in the state of bestowal for the sake of bestowal, Hafetz Hesed. That is, I lost everything, my last shirt, but I do not feel any deficiency. If I have nothing, it is all right that I have nothing; if I have something, that is fine too. I try to keep on such a “diet” when I am glad with what I receive and do not demand more. It is written: “a Hasid is one who is content with what he has.” Joy is the sign of the Light of Hassadim, the state of Katnut, the small state.

If nothing shines for me and I have no filling, I feel good too. I accept it as an opportunity given from above to check what I am doing this for. Am I in Hassadim, in a state of Katnut? If I am dissatisfied and demand filling, cursing the darkness, then I have not reached the state of Katnut.

In fact, I am not in the dark because the upper Light fills the entire universe. The upper Light is mercy, Hassadim, and I just do not feel it. Therefore, all the work begins with achieving the state of Hafetz Hesed. This is already faith, although not complete, in which there will be illumination of Hochma, but for now, it is only Hassadim.

And it is checked at the time when the Light goes out and we feel darkness in our desires to receive. Can we agree that we need nothing more than to stay on the path adhering to the friends and the Creator despite the darkness? That is, we work “at night,” choosing the right direction in order to “make for yourself a Rav and buy yourself a friend,” to be at the lesson every day. Such an attitude to all the states through which the Creator moves us will be the correct test of our work.¹

First, we reach a small state, Hafetz Hesed, bestowal for the sake of bestowal, Hassadim. And then inside this Light of Hassadim, we receive the illumination of Hochma in order to transmit it to others. In order to bestow to others, we need to use our own AHP.

To others, we bestow Hassadim, correcting the bestowing desires in them, but for this, we need to use our desires to receive. The Light of Hochma is revealed in our AHP, and we transmit the Light of Hassadim from it to GE (Galgalta ve Eynaim) of the lower one. This means that “blood turns into milk.”²

I must give all my strength to my ten in order to bring my friends to connection. I take from them their desires, the greatness of the Creator, the greatness of the goal, as it is written: “They helped everyone his friend.” No one can help himself. Each one by himself can reach the state of Hafetz Hesed, bestowal for the sake of bestowal, only at one point and not more.

And then, one must develop oneself in relation to the ten, leading them to the state in which one’s friends have no deficiency. We are connected to each other only due to mutual bestowal. I want nothing for myself, but I have to give to others, and therefore, I open my desires to receive for the sake of bestowal and allow a friend to bestow to me.

For example, when I would come to visit my mother, I would always say that I was hungry so that she could feed me and enjoy that. For me, this was not called receiving because I knew that she wanted to feed me more than I wanted to eat and I had to give her this opportunity. It is the same between friends, because otherwise, we will not develop one another. It is written: “Go and earn from each other.” No one can earn by himself.³
From the 1^st part of the Daily Kabbalah Lesson 1/24/19, Writings of Rabash, Vol. 1, Articles “Rungs of the Ladder,” Article 1, “Make for Yourself a Rav and Buy Yourself a Friend – 1” (1985)

Influencing Events

Question from Facebook: The awareness that we are controlled and not free in the choice of events upsets me. We absolutely cannot influence the programmed timeline we exist and function in. So why do we need a lot of knowledge if we cannot use it?

Answer: Indeed, a lot of knowledge overwhelms a person and leads him to sadness and many sorrows.

However, you will be pleased to know that correct, good knowledge reduces all our sorrows and, on the contrary, leads to making things easier by understanding how everything is arranged, understanding  the transparent vision of the entire world and of this whole system, and how it interacts in great harmony. This wondrous harmony of the entire system of the universe is called “the Creator.”

We need to reveal this system, this harmony, so that it will play within us, and then everything will be simple, felt, clear, and for our own good.

Question: Are we really controlled and not free to choose events?

Answer: No. At the same time, you will discover how you can participate in the movement of the general creation, of all the souls, at all times and at all levels toward the one common goal: the great unity, connection, and similarity with the Creator.

This goal is very beautiful. Maybe it is distant, but you will see it and you will be able to participate in it, near it, and enter it. So, you are invited!

New Life #137 – Social Networking And The Evolution Of Human Life

New Life #137 – Social Networking and the Evolution of Human Life
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

The evolution of human life is in the connection between increasingly opposing parts. We have an egoistic desire to be alone and we subsequently come to understand that there is nothing to live for in isolation. We create social networks because they develop our senses for absorbing the world and life itself. A social network is like a game or adventure in which we search for the spiritual dimension, the inner energy, or the soul. From the beginning of the 20th century, the great need for connection was awakened and developed through radio, television, and finally, the Internet. It is impossible to restrict this innate desire for connection. Rather, we need to be educated according to what contributes to the tendency of nature to connect all of us as one. All of nature is a network without wires, adapters, and waves. Within it, we begin to feel a new life, beyond time, movement, and location. A platform rises from the Earth to a new dimension. We build a kind of bubble, which is like a vessel that flies between galaxies. Sharing takes on a life of its own. Establishing unity between a small circle of people within the network elevates the entire system to new heights based on open, whole, and positive communication.

If We Don’t Get It…

In the News (Jewish Virtual Library): “To date, 27 states have adopted laws that are designed to discourage boycotts against Israel. Separately, the U.S. Congress is considering making anti-boycott legislation as well in reaction to the BDS movement [Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions – anti-Israel].

Question: Pro-Israel lobbies press for this legislation. Do you think this approach makes sense?

Answer: No. Nothing can be done by force or prohibitions. On the contrary, it will further aggravate and cause anger, etc.

Egoism is growing in us every day, at every second. If we don’t fix it, if we don’t shape it properly, if we don’t reformat it correctly, then it will only continue getting worse.

This developing egoism is an indicator that we—the Jews, the people of Israel—are not implementing our correction.

Remark: It is very hard to accept that we are at fault. It is almost impossible for a person to accept that he is at fault, even more so for a Jew.

My Comment: What can be done if it is a law of nature? Why should I believe myself and not believe several millions of people who say it is my fault?

Question: Do I have to believe them?

Answer: Don’t believe them. Where is the truth? Who can say? Therefore, we turn to Kabbalah, our ancient teaching, where it all has been disclosed.

In The Book of Zohar and the Torah and everywhere it is said that the people of Israel must bring change, a method of correction, to the peoples of the world, to show them how to be corrected, to pass on this power, and to teach them. If not, then, of course, the nations of the world will, like in ancient Egypt, have claims against the people of Israel.

Thus, there is no way around it. All of nature, all of history, is aimed at explaining that we are to blame for everything.

Question: Do you think that you’ll be able to change the way people think?

Answer: They will listen for a long time, be indignant, but when the time comes, when they feel a real threat, then it is quite possible that a moment before they are led again to extermination, they will come to their senses and be able to make the proper correction.

Question: Do you think that this moment will turn the whole wheel of history?

Answer: Of course. I have no right to be silent. Have no right! I have to talk about it, shout, beg, do anything.

Preparing For The Convention In The Desert 2019

In order to bring contentment to the Creator, we must have a common desire since nobody’s individual desire is strong enough to be effective. The Creator is the result of our unity and He can only be reached from the center of our connection, the center of the ten. If we as much as aspire to achieve a common desire, we can already be connected with the Creator from that point.

We keep developing and growing this desire in quality and quantity. The main thing is for each of us to check what kind of desire is inside of him and how determined he is at every moment to contribute it to the common desire, to the common Malchut, aimed at the Creator.¹

The storehouse (vessel) of love is faith. Love is the Light of Hochma that transforms into the Light of faith, the Light of Hassadim. We need to develop such a vessel in ourselves in order to receive the Light of love for the Creator.²

It is written that to bestow to a friend is the same as to bestow to the Creator. Regarding my desire to enjoy, it makes no difference whether I bestow to the ten, the group, the world, or the Creator. After all, I separate myself from my desire in order not to receive in it. But in the bestowal itself, there is still a difference whether it is to give to the friends or to the Creator.

It is written that if a person reaches pure love and bestowal toward a friend, he also reaches love and bestowal toward the Creator along with it. With the help of the study and the work in the ten, I have to change my attitude toward the friends in order to see the genuine qualities of the Creator in them. Then, my love for the friends becomes so complete, that the love for the Creator is revealed within it.³

How can you go on with the same power and enthusiasm when you discover that all your actions are egoistic, for the sake of power, pride, selfishness, and the opposite of the correct intention? We understand that we act selfishly and that all our intentions and actions will necessarily be for our own sake. But at the same time, we want to move in the opposite direction. This is called “coming out of the exile in Egypt.”

We are under the power of our egoism, the intention for self alone, the egoistic attitude toward the group. We need to be aware of this and at the same time continue to act with the hope that our actions will become altruistic. Even if we do not yet have the correct intentions but only actions, by this, we attract the Light that reforms.

If our intentions were already altruistic, we would have been working with the inner Light. Now we work with the surrounding Light, and that is the difference—that so far, there is no intention for the sake of bestowal. Even if we are in the ego, in intentions for self alone, but we organize our actions as giving, we awaken the surrounding Light.

Therefore, we exist in the world of actions. After all, we can awaken the Light that reforms while still in the opposite form. This distinguishes the people with the point in the heart. They can feel the existence of bestowal, the Creator, the altruistic connection, but they are incapable of reaching it. They understand the power of bestowal, but they find themselves in the opposite state. Therefore, through their actions, they can cause the influence from the degree of bestowal called the Light that reforms.

Only people who have egoism and the point in the heart inside it, the two opposite qualities, are capable of it. Inside their egos they act forcefully, according to their nature, being in exile, slaves to the Pharaoh. But along with it, urged by the point in the heart, they aim to reach bestowal, escape slavery, and come out of exile. When they feel the glimmer of hope, once again they realize that they cannot break free from the ego, and so on over and over again. Until “the children of Israel sighed because of the work…and their cry went up.”

The two opposite qualities exist only in Israel, in a person aiming straight toward the Creator. He realizes that he is under the control of the will to receive, but at the same time, he is thinking of bestowal, of rising above himself. For him, it is not philosophy or psychology, but the actual purpose of life. He is given this desire within the desire, a spiritual point inside the egoism.⁴

New Life #136 – The Internet Revolution And Human Connection

New Life #136 – The Internet Revolution and Human Connection
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

The Internet revolution is a wonderful thing because it has greatly accelerated humanity’s development toward a new, integral world. The Internet has broken down borders, increased freedom of expression, and prevents dictators from doing whatever they like in their countries. It brings us closer to being one united, open, accessible, cosmopolitan state with international banks, corporations, and media.

There is also a lot of dirt, lies, hypocrisy, censorship, pornography, and sales on the Internet. Our children surf wherever they please without supervision. The Internet enables a person to be more secluded and to roam the whole world from his private place. It intensifies the ability of a lie to exist and the evil of humanity is openly spread there. This is also good, in a way, since it brings humanity to the recognition of evil. It’s better that this occurs virtually instead of on the streets or through war.

Nevertheless, the Internet cannot replace true, internal, human connection or heal hearts and minds. We used to meet in cafés to talk, learn at school with others, go on family picnics, and hug each other. Today, we meet on Skype, study online, eat pizza in front of the computer, and send emojis to express ourselves. The seclusion and loneliness will lead to outbreaks and diseases because people will need a real educational network of connections to the world without tools, modems, wires, and lies. We will want to feel more. Today’s Internet is an evolutionary springboard to tomorrow’s infinite connection between human hearts, from everyone to everyone.

Our Future Is Robots

In the News (Reuters):  “Robots will make robots at a new ABB (ABBN.S) factory in China, which the Swiss engineering group said on Saturday it plans to build for $150 million in Shanghai as it defends its place as the country’s largest maker of industrial robots. …

“China is expanding its robot workforce, as wages for human workers there rise and the country seeks to compete with lower-cost countries via greater automation. In 2017, one of every three robots sold in the world went to China, which purchased nearly 138,000 units, ABB said.

“ABB’s new 75,000-square-foot factory will use software meant to allow people and robots to work safely in close proximity, the company said, adding its YuMi robots — designed to work side-by-side with people — will also be deployed on many of the small parts assembly tasks needed to manufacture an ABB robot.”

Question: People, journalists, and scientists are worried about our future being ruled by robots! What will our future look like with robots?

Answer: Our future is moving toward the state where a person will not have any work other than spiritual work. We will only deal with things robots cannot do—the correct internal, spiritual unification between us.

Robots will take care of everything else. In general, our world is gradually reaching the point where we all will shift into spirituality. Only robots will remain in the material matter. Afterward, they too will disappear.

In principle, our world will gradually manifest itself as a world of forces, spirit, and a web of forces, not physical mater.  Matter does not really exist. We can see this already in quantum physics.

So there is no reason to worry about the fact that robots will replace us. On the contrary, we will strive to make sure that everything we do is transferred to robots and we will do what robots cannot: spiritual work, uniting between us, and exiting to the next level of existence, to the spiritual world.

New Life #1085 – The Connection Between Love And Hate

New Life #1085 – The Connection Between Love and Hate
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Summary

Hatred and love develop on top of each other like two lines from which a middle lineis built. When we build the middle line, our inner software is changed. It becomes smarter and makes it possible for us to love something that we previously didn’t like. On the psychological level, concessions lead to habit and later to love. In the evolutionary process, the ego grows and our demands change in quality and quantity. The desire to receive pleasure is a kind of animal or monster insofar as it loves everything that provides it with pleasure and hates what doesn’t. Between hatred and love we begin to feel the original power of nature that created everything through these two egoistic forces. In the wisdom of Kabbalah corrections are made on another level; the person corrects the ego with the help of the upper Light. “Love covers all transgressions” (Proverbs 10:12) means that love doesn’t replace hatred but rises above it, in parallel to it. Our egoism is constantly growing, increasing in hatred so that above it we can build a greater love. The power of love can be obtained on condition that you want to crown it upon all of reality.

Sharpening The Path To The Creator

We always increasingly restrict our path in order for it to become more focused and sharp, turning into a very narrow line leading to the Creator. Then we perform only those actions that follow one after another and lead us to the goal. On this thin line begins the ladder of the degrees, the love of friends, and the love for the Creator.

How do we get to this place where this thin line begins? It is very simple. “The place” is the desire. Restrict your desire to one intention, to one goal, and you will find yourself on this thin line. The main thing is to act through the group for the sake of bestowing to the Creator, who is in the center of the group, and you will certainly walk on this line.¹

We cannot understand our heart because it is clad in multi-layered armor. The Creator is inside the heart, but we do not feel that; we feel only superficial desires. It is an unimaginable sensation when the Creator is revealed in the heart of a person and becomes one with his heart. This is the end of correction.

So far, we are very far from this state. We must scrub our heart, peeling all the layers from it in order to reveal the true, living heart. Now it has a stony armor and therefore is called “the stony heart.”²
From the 3^rd part of the Daily Kabbalah Lesson 1/23/19, Writings of Baal HaSulam, “Matan Torah [The
Giving of the Torah],” Item 14

The Ladder Of Attainment Is Constant

Question: Which Kabbalists have you already gone through and do you feel them better? What is your personal experience on this path?

Answer: The fact is that all the Kabbalists have gone through very great steps of the ladder of spiritual ascent to full attainment to fully incorporate with each other.

I am not as high as they are, so I cannot say how many each of them has passed through.

I feel my teacher Rabash the most. The most important thing for me is to hold on to him constantly. I receive the upper Light from him. Any revelation, attainment, comes to me only through him.

Above Rabash on the spiritual hierarchy is his father Baal HaSulam, then Ramchal, Ari, and other Kabbalists. But in practice, I receive the Light from Rabash. The steps of the ladder of spiritual attainment are constant.

New Life #1084 – Love And Hate

New Life #1084 – Love and Hate
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Summary

The human experience of love and hate are determined through a part of the braincalled the pleasure center. This small part works in the interest of the ego or the desire to receive and differentiates between pleasure or love and suffering or hatred. It is said that the feeling of hatred pushes us to communicate with the upper force and understand what He wants from us. Hatred is awakened in us so that we will eventually learn to look within and correct ourselves. We can change our negative, egoistic attitudes in such a way that we will see a good world full of love. Instead of being dominated by egoism, we can manage it by changing ourselves. The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us how to correct ourselves in relation to the world. When we attribute everything to the upper force, we begin to understand that no one is hating or loving us. Instead, when we want to reach bestowal by giving to the world and the upper force, we realize that the whole system is taking care of us.

The State Of Katnut

The sin of Adam at the tree of knowledge did not affect the state of Katnut (smallness) that was already corrected before the shattering. Therefore, the upper part of the worlds of BYA, created at the birth of Adam, did not break. It turns out that the upper system around us is more corrected than us who are inside of it. Nature is more corrected than the human.

However, a person has a more elevated task: to become independent, to become a person similar to the Creator. Nature does not have such lofty goals since it consists of desires of bestowal; it is corrected.

This is what we see in our world. If it were not for people spoiling nature, it would act according to its perfect laws, which do not have any freedom of choice. This is what eventually helps us reach correction in both our world and the spiritual world.

The inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature are corrected, and only the inner system called “man” is what corrupts them. The inner part is shattered and it projects all its corruption on the external system, on  inanimate matter, plants, and animals. When we correct ourselves, then obviously the whole world will be corrected.¹

All inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature are corrected. If there were no human, the wolf would live peacefully alongside the lamb. Yet, since the human corrupted everything with his shattering, the wolf devours the lamb. It is all because of man. Without him, there are only bestowing desires in nature and the wolf can walk next to the lamb as if in the Garden of Eden, and a little child can lead them (that is, a man in the state of smallness).

After the final correction, even a grown-up man who attained the Creator will only be in bestowal in relation to others, and therefore, he will be called “a little child.”²

New Life #1083 – Living in the Present
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

Summary

The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches that there is no past or future, only the present.These days, people measure the value of the past and the future according to the level of importance they attribute based on their will to enjoy. We think about what matters to us. In order to achieve full contact with reality and with the upper force, we need to work in order to connect with each other in groups of ten. When each member of the group wants to fulfill the desires of the others, a new reality above time and place is revealed. We begin to understand why the world exists and the role of humans within it. Each one begins to feel like a baby in his mother’s lap and all he wants to do is to connect to the upper system that is the source of all life.

How Do You Reach Faith Above Reason?

What is faith above reason? Within reason means according to our understanding, according to the mind of a person of this world, one’s egoism. According to it, one understands, feels, makes decisions, and acts, which is called: “according to my opinion.” Yet, above my opinion is the opinion of the upper, and it means I must exchange my opinion for the opinion of the Creator.

But I do not know the opinion of the Creator; it reaches me through my ten. If I am connected to it, then by gradually annulling myself and integrating in the friends, I will exchange my opinion for theirs. This is not just a simple exchange of one thing for another, otherwise I would become an angel, that is, a spiritual beast. I perform this action above my reason, keeping my opinion and rising above it. That is, I occupy two levels, and in the difference between them, I find the understanding of a spiritual person.

Nothing gets destroyed and nothing disappears from the person’s senses. Instead, he acquires another, additional nature of the Creator, and then obtains faith above reason. He has his reason and faith above it, and he exists between them. The Creator did not create our desire to enjoy in vain. It is the foundation that accompanies us all the time so that “The darkness will shine as light.” The darkness of my egoism, of my opinion, supports the opinion that is above it. It is from the contradiction between them that I attain the greatness of the Creator upon the background of the lowliness of the created beings.

We do not cancel ourselves and do not lose anything in ourselves. Firmly standing on both feet, we build the middle line, and only in this way do we position ourselves as a man, Adam, similar to the Creator. Everything in this created being is received from the Creator, but according to the decision of a person himself.¹

The Creator gives me an adapter that connects me with Him—it is the ten. This adapter is very complicated, but there is no choice, I must connect it and use it, no matter how many years it takes. I must annul myself or I will not connect to the group, because my plug does not fit its socket. The Creator is inside the friends and He helps me connect with them more and more until I start to reveal Him within them. I begin to work with the Creator through the friends because they are my soul and the Creator is the Light that fills this soul.

The main thing is to integrate with the environment. I then begin to receive opinions, desires, and thoughts not just from the upper degree, but from a completely new quality. There is faith above reason inside the group—a new perception, not inherent to a person of this world.

Therefore, there is no choice but to annul ourselves and enter the group, leaving behind all our experiences. We are talking about an adult with a lot of life experience and knowledge, but he makes an embryo out of himself, a zero relative to the group. When one starts receiving knowledge from it and starts growing, then on the basis of one’s previous qualities, thoughts, and desires of the former self, one builds faith above reason. One cannot be without the other.²

New Life #1082 – Minimalism Trend

New Life #1082 – Minimalism Trend
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

Summary

Real wealth is eternal. It’s not about giving things to each other but about our capacity to love others. Minimalism existed in ancient cultures as well when people preferred to get rid of property that enslaved them. Today, people are brainwashed to believe they will be fulfilled if they buy more and more. It is only by changing the method of fulfillment from receiving to giving that humankind will feel unlimited satisfaction. Real minimalism means only needing loving human relationships to feel fulfilled. The development of the qualities of bestowal and love requires group work according to the method of Kabbalah. People learn to restrict or narrow their thoughts about themselves and think more about the good of others. Although we continue to have possessions and assets, our vitality comes from our value of others and love for the whole world.
