Love Is Nothing More Than Harmony, A Mutual Balance Of Plus And Minus

If we talk about love between friends in a group, then it seems to us that this is something artificial, unnecessary, unpleasant, and unattainable. But in fact, it is only the realization of the basic law of nature. The word “love” is just a little bit corrupted in our time.

In fact, if no one annihilates anything, but wants to supplement, reaching a complement in the group between opposing properties that come from a single root existing in nature, we understand that this is what is called harmony, love, mutual conjoining, and no other state can exist.

Therefore, a single person can do nothing. Alone, a person cannot attain the upper worldand attain the world’s operating system because he does not have a corresponding state inside, he does not participate in this system. He must create such a detector in himself—the organ of perception of the upper world. And it is necessary to unite in ten for this.

Our connection is based on the fact that you have a minus, I have a plus, another person has a plus, still another one has a minus, and so on, and in a crisscross connection between us we form a network called a Kli, that is, a vessel for revealing the Creator. What does this mean—the Creator? The average, the common, what we achieve from the combination of opposites.

Therefore, we need to achieve the correct union between ourselves: not to destroy anything, not to suppress anything, but learn to use every property of any member of the group—from the worst to the best. They all have the same right to exist.

Tens In The Time Of Moses

Question: Abraham’s method was intended for several thousand people, while Moses’s method was intended for the people that needed to be organized in the correct form. Where did the tens, hundreds, and thousands start from? Did these tens consist of ten friends or also family?

Answer: The ten included ten men and ten women separately. In this division, the families were not taken into consideration.

Laziness: A Wonderful Quality

Question: What is the spiritual root of laziness?

Answer: Laziness is a wonderful quality! I really advise you to be more lazy, you’ll do fewer stupid things. The fact is that laziness is the correct weighing of the degree of the necessity of an action.

Question: What if you have no strength, and therefore you are too lazy to do the necessary things, the important ones?

Answer: And then it actually becomes not that important or necessary. That is why it is written: “Better sit and do nothing.” Think, read, try to internalize it within yourself—that is the reason you were born, not to do so many physical actions that only pollute our world.

Is It Possible To Change The Course Of History?

Question: What impact does ignorance about the program of creation and reluctance to know it have on world history?

Answer: History is what is written on our bones. Therefore, if we want to be participants in world history, then we should understand how to interpret and how to change it.

We are the ones who write today’s history. I have an opportunity to attract the upper Light with the help of the group. It can raise me above egoism, and then I will start to feel what is called the upper world. This will be my story.

Only I can do this with myself, and no one can stop me, but they can help me. The ten or the group exist for this purpose.

Question: Can Kabbalists interfere in history or change it?

Answer: I can interfere in history only by spreading the Kabbalistic method, and if people become interested in it, they will also improve our state. Otherwise we can not influence anything. In Kabbalah, it is impossible to manipulate the forces of nature. There are only two forces of nature, and you can only manipulate them within yourself.

You can only act in one direction: becoming more like the Creator. In this way the upper Light will pass through you to Malchut, in which all of humanity is.

Question: Can we say that history is the plan of creation, its program?

Answer: Yes. It is a program of revealing the plan of creation to the creations.

Question: And is everything deterministic, meaning that nothing can be changed, except the future? That is, can I act only in the present in relation to the future?

Answer: You can act in the present to change it.

This is what the Kabbalists say. This is the only purpose of Kabbalah. It teaches how to go through the period from our time until the end of correction of the whole creation quickly and pleasantly.

New Life #916 – Am I Unique?

New Life #916 – Am I Unique?
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

Summary

The ego of every person demands uniqueness because the Creator is unique. We compare ourselves with others, want to feel equal to or better than others, and want something of ourselves to remain after death. Our inherent uniqueness remains buried while it is under the control of the ego. It is only once we convert our desire to receive into a desire to love and give that we resemble the Creator and our true uniqueness is realized.

Where Does The History of Kabbalah Begin?

5,777 years ago, the first person to attain the upper nature appeared in the world; he was called Adam. From him we begin to count the history of Kabbalah.

Adam wondered about the meaning of life; he began to search where everything comes from, and revealed that there is only one force in the world that moves the whole universe.

This positive force can be called the Creator, because it really creates. It has no body, no weight, no volume, nothing of what we think we have. After all, what we have and see in our world is a pure illusion that appears in our mind, in our sensations.

So, 5,777 years ago a man appeared who revealed this quality of the world. Adam is called the “first man – Adam HaRishon” because he was the first to attain the essence of the world. He told about it in the book The Secret Angel (Raziel HaMalach). This small book of only a few pages has reached our time.

The next book about Kabbalah was written by Abraham in ancient Babylon. But between Adam and Abraham there were 20 generations of Kabbalists who attained the spiritual world by means of the methodology revealed by Adam that he then handed over to his disciples. Over the centuries, this knowledge has been gradually supplemented. So there was the method of attaining the upper world.

The Two Forces Of The Universe

Question: If the Creator is one, then why does His reflection manifest itself in our world through a multitude of different forces?

Answer: There are two forces in the universe: the force of the Creator—the force of bestowal and the force He created opposite to Him called the created being—the force of reception.

All the rest are all kinds of emanations, modifications of these two forces (plus and minus). Other than that,nothing else exists.

Tear Them Down And Shatter Their Monuments

Torah, Exodus 23:24: You shall not prostrate yourself before their gods, and you shall not worship them, and you shall not follow their practices, but you shall tear them down and you shall utterly shatter their monuments.

What is being referred to here is not idol worship of primitive tribes, but about man building the likeness of the Creator within himself.

“Shatter their monuments” means to destroy all egoistic desire, all the way to the last level, to the “rocks,” in other words, to the inanimate level. Man must stop using egoism in any of its forms.

Initially, when a quality called, for example, Jebusites or Hittites, which had never been experienced before, begins to develop, a person may think that he can move toward the goal correctly with this quality: live in this world in order to grow spiritually. But, later, he begins to discover that this quality is opposite to the spiritual.

Moreover, this quality still needs to be developed to such an extent that you grow to despise it: you are ready to die if only to no longer remain in this guise, in this shell, in this form—that is how completely opposite it is to the likeness of the Creator.

Nonetheless, thanks to this, thanks to each of these forms, each of these qualities, each of these “nations,” the form of the Creator is revealed within you. That is how you come to recognize Him from all angles and gradually reveal Him.

Only a person who is moving toward the Creator is able to come to despise these “nations” within oneself.

Question: Any other hatred is not considered hatred?

Answer: No, earthly qualities are not being referred to here, but the people who took on the goal to make themselves similar to the Creator.

No matter how grand this sounds, it is still a very difficult job. Actually, the Creator does everything, but identifying all the opposites to Him within yourself to such an extent that you beg Him to correct you, that you must do yourself. “Strike me with a chisel and hammer, cut from me all the egoistic excesses and leave in me only Your image,”—this you need to beg for.
