A Baby Boom Won’t Happen

Remark: As soon as the pandemic began, psychologists and doctors assumed that it would bring a baby boom—the birth of children. In other words, people would be together more, which would lead to a higher birth rate.

Now, when the same parents who initially had thoughts of having children were questioned, it turned out that more than half of the people have scrapped the idea. People don’t want to produce offspring at all; they don’t want to give birth.

My Comment: They don’t see a continuation. In the form we are shown our live’s today, we are shown a dead end. So why continue anything at all?

Question: In the most tragic situations of the First and Second World Wars, and so on, people thought about procreation, and now suddenly they don’t. Isn’t this a paradox?

Answer: This is psychology. At that time, it was not psychology, but more simply a physical condition. But here it is a state of mind. We are going nowhere, for nothing. What for? All this is suppressed.

Question: Does a person need to cope with this?

Answer: Now the question is not about giving birth, but about uniting. If this number of people could come closer to each other internally even a small distance, the world would be different.

Now everything is moving to a spiritual relationship. If I am drawn to a person, that is it. If not, then no. Previously, it was physiology; there was some kind of impulse, pressure from within; nature demanded it.

And now nature does not require this. It wants to rebuild us so that if you have a desire to be closer to a person spiritually, then you will have a desire to be closer to him physically.

Then the birth of children will be the result of a spiritual rapprochement, not a physical one. And the child will be called the product of love.

Question: And then he will be loved and he will love his parents?

Answer: Of course.

Remark: So, maybe this is an indicator that we are approaching a really different era—the era of love?

My Comment: Yes. This will be wonderful.

To See The Creator

Question: I am ready to believe that there is none else besides Him. But how can I see the Creator? There is no opportunity.

Answer: What do you mean there is no opportunity? There is. You are studying Kabbalah in order to see the Creator.

To see does not necessarily mean to see with your eyes. There are many different things and phenomena in the world that we do not see but we feel. Therefore, we must develop a sense that is above our matter, and then we will feel the Creator.

The Creator is a field. Do you feel a magnetic field, for example? No. But if you had an instrument that could sense this field, you would feel it. The Creator is also a field, but it includes everything in it!

In order to feel Him, you need to develop a special sense, a special instrument that will perceive this field, and then you will see that the attribute that you call the Creator fills everything.

The wisdom of Kabbalah engages in it and allows every individual to reveal the Creator.

Opposition To Unity, Part 5

Continuing the Family Line – Transmitting the Spiritual Component

Question: Many forefathers of the Jewish people—Moses, David,  and Solomon—took wives from the nations of the world. And only when the Jews returned from the Babylonian exile did the sages specifically stipulate that they should not mix with other nations. What was the reason for this?

Answer: It came from Moses who created a nation in the course of forty years of wandering in the desert. He divided it into tens and clearly stated the laws in each tribe. And then Jews began to fulfill these conditions.

Question: Can it be said that when they were on a spiritual ascent they could absorb any kind of people? The rest of them adopted their ideology and joined it. There were practically no external attributes. And then it disappeared.

Answer: Yes. In addition, the family line was continued by the father. And only from the sixth century did it begin to be considered by the mother.

Question: What is the reason for this?

Answer: In principle, this is all conditional because it does not matter. By father or by mother depends on how the spiritual component of a man is transmitted. It is about the conditions under which the upper force remains in the offspring and leads it further to the goal of creation, to unity.

As a result, if we look at the end of history, then universal unity should reach a state in which there will be no difference between Israel and the nations of the world, as well as between all tribes and other parts of society within Israel because everyone should merge and become as one. All this is still on the way.

New Life 1247 – How To Be Protected In The Second Wave Of The Coronavirus

New Life 1247 – How To Be Protected In The Second Wave Of The Coronavirus
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi

Nature, through the coronavirus, is elevating us to the second level in human evolution in which there will be consideration for others instead of oneself. If we develop love for others, we will not have bad thoughts about them and this is the best protection against the coronavirus. I must examine how I relate to others, not just physically, but internally. Is my attitude good or bad? At first, we kept the general precautionary rules so as not to become infected with the coronavirus. Now, it is necessary to keep the general rules in order to not cause infection or harm to others. Good thoughts can bring us health if my neighbor and I become connected like a single integral system. If we convey good thoughts of concern for others and we bless each other in our hearts, all will be well.

New Life 1248 – The Mechanism Of Contagion

New Life 1248 – The Mechanism Of Contagion
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi

We are living in an integral world that is closed like a ball, and this field ties the still, vegetative, animate, and human levels of nature together. People could live on a small desert island and the coronavirus would still reach them because, just as there is a subterranean connection between all the plants, there is also such a connection between all creatures found in nature. We don’t feel these networks that connect us so we don’t understand how they work, but viruses are transmitted like radio waves. We are connected in a field of egoistic thoughts that are anti-systemic, like a virus.

We transmit thoughts and desires, which is why people in different places suddenly think alike. The viruses pass through the field of thoughts and then materialize in biological form. When a person does not relate to others well, he inserts a negative charge into this field and weakens the system.

Negative thoughts spread without any effort because a human being’s heart is evil from his youth. Once we had collectively crossed a certain threshold of negative thoughts, the coronavirus broke out as an expression of our mutual hatred. Positive thoughts or desire for the benefit of others is anti-viral and stops the contagion. You need to have a positive inclination in order to have positive thoughts and be on the same wave length as nature. Only integral education will enable us to create good viruses and overcome the bad ones.

Final Correction Is On Its Way!

We have already passed through so many different tests in our history, and now we have only one special state left: final correction. We need to reveal this state of final correction to see that it is realized here and now in everything that happens to us.

The final correction is already underway, it has come into effect, and we are in this process. Let’s just open our eyes to this, and not judge with such a narrow, blinkered, selfish view of what is good for us and what is bad.

Let’s expand our perception and see what the Creator is doing to all of humanity. He does not take into account our material life, but looks at how to fill all levels of desire, all HaVaYaH, all reality in an infinite measure.

This is how you need to see His attitude, let’s try to open our mind, our heart, to see that everything is done correctly, for our benefit, more and more is revealed openly. Look what the Creator does! He reveals himself to us in an integral form, around the entire globe. This has never happened since the creation of the world!

Humanity was scattered all over the earth from ancient Babylon, and now the Creator is once again bringing us together, into one family, albeit due to a blow. In fact, this blow is not so terrible; it is more psychological. Let’s approach it with understanding and awareness, try to justify the actions of the Creator and understand their necessity in order to attain Him. And then we will not see any problem in what is happening.

Try to see this process this way. The Creator gradually, with great care, inclines us to correction and slowly reveals our faults to us. He does this on a global scale.

We don’t understand what’s happening to us. In fact, now during the coronavirus pandemic, internal changes are taking place in each of us. Sometimes you can even notice how something changes in us: physically, mentally, psychologically, you just need to be more sensitive and subtle. We are all changing, all of humanity, from the most advanced people to the simplest, all over the world.

The upper light affects us, it moves closer and closer to reveal itself in us, and we must pass through these states with its help. You will have to suffer a little to feel that we have one common trouble because otherwise we can’t be linked together. With a good life, people move away from each other, and a common misfortune brings them closer. Therefore, the Creator brings us together with great care and love. He unites us with a common misfortune, someone’s illness and death.

But in this situation, we have time to think, to change internally. A wise man is one who sees a future perspective, that is, a new state that is born out of it. It is necessary to understand that all this leads us to an eternal and perfect, beautiful state—to the right connection between us in which the upper force, the field of the upper light, will be revealed, and will fill our minds and feelings with infinite attainment.

We will rise to the level of faith above reason. And we cry and blame the Creator for what He does to us, because we look out of our narrow egoism. It seems to us that all this is not good because we are separated from the final goal and evaluate only the momentary state. We need to think carefully about what is happening to us.

Little By Little The Creator Will Correct Us

How can I approach the correct perception of reality day by day if the inner sensation and impressions of what is happening around becomes closer to complete collapse every day?

I perceive this not as destruction, but as spiritual work performed by the Creator, which gives us the opportunity to reflect on who we are, what we are, and in what state we are. And although we have not yet turned our thoughts in the right direction, the fact that the whole globe is reflecting on what will occur and what will happen is already a big correction.

Little by little the Creator will correct us. We do not agree with this yet, but He will correct that as well.

Narrow Path “Between The Straits”

The countdown of the three-week period, which is called “between the straits,” that is, through adversity, through a narrow painful corridor, has begun. This time refers to the destruction of the Temple. This is not about a material building that collapsed in Jerusalem, but about a spiritual Temple.

Material time is an imprint of a spiritual time; therefore, in our world there are symbolic dates that have spiritual roots.

The time between the straits symbolizes a spiritual state in which we had to withstand spiritual pressure but could not resist and were broken, that is the Temple was destroyed, the spiritual screen, the wall. And today we recall this crumbling.

It is said that “every day in which the Temple is not restored, it is as if it falls anew.” This is until we again build the Temple, our spiritual vessel (Kli), with ten Sefirot interconnected and ready to hold the light of Hochma inside, the greatest light. The light of Hochma will fill the Kli, and this will mean that the Temple is restored.

The Temple must be built in our hearts, in our common desire, not from stones. It will be the Third Temple, perfect. The First and Second Temples were built by a small group that came out of Ancient Babylon and went through the Egyptian exile. Then they were destroyed, as it was supposed to happen.

But we will build the Third Temple together with the whole world, internally, in hearts and desires, filling them with the perfect revelation of the Creator, the light of Hochma. With such a Temple, such a state will exist forever because it involves all souls who are making all the corrections and are completely filled with the Creator.

We need to come to this, and according to the signs now being revealed, we are very close to this state. This should not take much time, we only need to want to re-build ourselves internally so that there is only one desire.

In all the states being revealed, one must strive to unite as one person with one heart. Nothing more is needed, just try our best, as if this is our last chance for salvation from selfishness.
