115.06Comment: The neurons that make up our brain function as logic gates. They are adapted to reflect the logic that exists in nature and reproduce it in the brain and nervous system. Therefore, they can sense when the information reaching them does not correspond to that logic.

It seems to me that if a person is presented with false information, he begins to sense it at the level of the neurons. And if a person is continually fed falsehoods, it may even lead to illness. History provides examples of how years of feeding people false information have resulted in social consequences and widespread negative phenomena.

In other words, there is an objective truth in nature that is reflected in the neurons themselves, enabling them to detect falsehood.

My Response: The fact is that within human consciousness there are two levels of nature. The higher level represents the perfect connection among all parts of nature, while the lower level is an absolutely fragmented, egoistic connection.

Today we function on the egoistic level, in mutual alienation from one another. Yet, nature is arranged in such a way that, through all the positive and negative feelings that arise within us and through the comparison of reason and emotion, it gradually leads us to examine what truth really is.

We will inevitably have to accept the system of complete interconnectedness, and we will begin to perceive this entire system existing for the sake of its all-encompassing nature and integrality. It exists within every person.

Therefore, it is quite possible that our neurons sense that the perception of truth is inherent in our nature. Essentially, we are structured correctly; it is only that all of this is covered over by an immense egoism that conceals from us the complete, closed system that is entirely good.

276.01Question (from Facebook): How can God be placed within a system? God created this world, yet you believe that He can be comprehended by the human mind?

Answer: No, I do not think so. You are absolutely right. God cannot be placed within a system. He cannot be revealed through the human intellect or human senses.

To do this we must create such conditions within ourselves to acquire properties, sensations, and discernments that correspond to the Creator, correspond to God. Then, within these, we will begin to perceive Him.

It is like everything else in our world: If I perceive a certain phenomenon, then it exists within me, and I can thus perceive it outside of myself. This is how all of our instruments work. If one of my instruments is not tuned to the frequency or the phenomenon that I wish to investigate, then I will not perceive it. For example, without a radio receiver I cannot receive radio waves, because I do not possess such sensory apparatus.

Therefore, an ordinary person in our world cannot perceive God, the Creator, unless he correctly tunes himself to Him. What does it mean to tune oneself? There is a method for this called the wisdom of Kabbalah. It is the method for revealing the Creator to a person in this world.

It is based on gradually enabling a person to acquire properties that correspond to the Creator. Then within those properties, a person can discover the Creator.

959Question: When I look for the Creator in the media, the evening news, in everything that surrounds me, I go down to the level of cause, where the origins of my state are traced. But due to a lack of experience or understanding, I misinterpret the cause of what is happening. Does it matter?

Answer: Day after day, you listen to the news and observe events, all the while remembering that these situations are orchestrated by the Creator, and you ask yourself why and for what purpose. You make calculations, and various thoughts come to you, leading you to realize that the Creator is sending you these states.

But you should not descend below the level of the cause, as this will make you focus on yourself rather than on the Creator. We, on the contrary, must connect everything only to the Creator, so that we may eventually compel Him to reveal Himself. When the Creator reveals Himself to us, we will see what is really happening.

Question: This means that only the search for the Creator matters. Is understanding not so important?

Answer: In any case, we will not be able to understand the situation. Understanding can be achieved from the level above the current state, where all the forces that shape the next state originate.

If you want to understand what is happening to you right now, you must rise at least one level above. Once you are on the higher level, you will gain insight into what is happening on the lower level. In other words, you cannot understand a state from the same level; you must rise to a higher level.

Talks about the Steps of the Ladder, Part 166

What Must One Do So That the Appeal to the Creator Will Be Detached from Oneself?

In order for an appeal to the Creator to be detached from oneself, we must examine our attitude to Him.

It is relatively easy for a person to imagine “I exist.” It is also not so difficult to imagine “my desire toward Him.” However, we cannot hold on to that sensation for long. We somehow grasp an inner image that tells us this is the Creator, but that image constantly changes, because we do not know what the Creator is in His ultimate form or inner sensation.

We can, in some way, position these two points of “I” and “He” in every state we are in. However, once these two points are present, the challenge is to examine the extent to which our attitude is directed at ourselves, and to what extent we imagine that it is directed at the Creator.

When we complete this scrutiny, we are given the next state, and the process continues accordingly.
