Great Knowledge that No One Needs

214In the News (Snopes.com): A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. …

“In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition. …

“This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of an social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?

“One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?”

 Comment: When I read this, I drew this parallel: let’s say our science of Kabbalah, which existed 2,000 years before all religions, currents, and so on, stands somewhere where people move and run by. Nobody asks for any big amount of money for it; people are just asked to pay attention to it because it will tell them about what the basis of the world is and how to become happy in this world—and very few people stop. How many of us are here?

I compared it to that great violinist.

My Response: I don’t believe it can happen by itself. Only if the Creator, of course, changes some initial conditions and initial data in people could this happen.

Question: Then people could stop and suddenly hear?

Answer: Yes. But otherwise, no.

Question: And so they run and pay a lot of money to discover how to become happy and how to become successful.

Answer: People have a need for this, but not in the approach that Kabbalah requires.

Question: Why can’t we adjust the music to people like that?

Answer: We can’t set this up. This requires turning yourself off and turning on completely different sensors, different senses.

What Will the World Be Like after Final Correction

715Each and every individual will understand that his own benefit and the benefit of the collective are one and the same, and by this, the world will come to its full correction (Baal HaSulam, “The Peace“). 

It may seem to someone that we are talking about communism or socialism here, but in fact, the wisdom of Kabbalah explains the general law of nature according to which all of nature is connected and linked in an integral form where everyone depends on everyone.

The wisdom of Kabbalah explains how we can influence general nature in order to benefit each element of nature as well as its general force, which is called the Creator.

Call it socialism or communism, it does not matter, but the general law of integral nature initially operates throughout the universe. There is only one force that acts, connects everything, and leads to complete unity. All parts of nature are connected to each other, and we have no right to pull them out of this integral dependence originally established in nature.

Therefore we have to study this law and know how to implement it without making any amendments of our own that seem more convenient and beneficial to us. Our task is to study the laws of nature and follow them. This advice is given to us by the wisdom of Kabbalah, and those who follow this advice will certainly succeed.

After the final correction, all humanity will unite in such a way that everyone will understand their destiny and the entire reality will be clearly revealed to us from end to end; that is, the Creator will be revealed to everyone. We will live in a clear, transparent world, and we will know how to correctly exist in mutual cooperation and unity, in an embrace with each other, and not only people, but in general all inanimate nature, plants, and animals.

You Need to Live Now

760.4Question: Victoria writes: “So often I want to forget everything that has happened. So many days, so many years have been wasted, so many mistakes have been made. But no matter how hard I try, I cannot forget. My memory again and again emits pictures of the past that cannot be erased.

Tell me, why are we given memory? If only it were given to learn, to memorize something necessary. But no, it often breaks the heart. So, what is it given for?”

Answer: I think that this occurs in you because you are very eager for the future, and therefore, for some reason, you feel sorry for the past, that you did not have time for something. Do not worry. One should always think that every moment that has passed is made by the Creator, and it all depended on Him alone. Therefore, in no case should we worry about the past, the future, or anything, but only the given moment.

Question: So, you can say thank you for what happened, whatever it was, right?

Answer: For everything that has been, for everything that is, and for everything that will be. But the most important thing is to live now. Only in the present. In Kabbalah, there seems to be no past or future tense, only the present.

Question: Do you ever regret anything in the past? Does your memory ever cut out something that makes you suddenly shiver?

Answer: It is all gone.

Question: Do I live in the compartment of today?

Answer: Not even in a day, but the moment.

Comment: Now we are talking with you, this is this life. And everything that has been and everything that will be is not a concern anymore.

My Response: All this does not depend on us in any way.

Comment: Teach me to live like this. I can say that, but if I am tested in a second, I will be a rag.

My Response: No, I am clearly not worried about the past. Although, if you count how much time I have wasted and for what, then of course it is…

Comment: Heaps.

My Response: But that is how it should be. Agree with the fact that the Creator does everything, and that is for sure for the past! And you fully support Him, trust Him, and accept Him.

Question: But how about the future? Everyone dreams of something about the future, everyone hopes for something that will happen in the future. It cannot be taken away from a person.

Answer: If you are thinking about the future, then, you are taking it away from the Creator. This is also forbidden.

Question: Is this also His prerogative?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So, if I define this formula for myself, what is it?

Answer: At the moment I am connected with the Creator, merge with Him, cling to Him and I do not want anything else. That is how a child sticks to its mother, and that is what he wants. This is it, nothing more! That is how we should be.

Question: So the basis of this formula is to stick to the Creator?

Answer: Yes.

Question: His past, His future. And yet this is my present, is it mine? Do I exist here after all?

Answer: I do. In the present, that is me. And only I determine, so to say, that I want to be with the Creator, to hold on to Him.

Question: Right now?

Answer: Yes.

Question: I see. Then will all the sorrows go away?

Answer: There is nothing else. Nothing.

The Conscious Path of Kabbalists

278.01Question: You say that a Kabbalist deliberately hides the future from himself and does not want to see it because he wants to exert efforts. How does he do it? Is it that the picture is revealed to him, but he does not want to see it?

Answer: The fact is that people are included either in the lowest level of the information layer, or in egoistic management, jointly guiding the economy and power, juggling governments, countries, and peoples.

Kabbalists follow a completely different path. They must first acquire a protective screen that they put in front of them. Any revelation they make is possible only if they can use it correctly for their own growth, for becoming similar to the Creator, and getting closer to Him, because similarity to Him is the goal of creation.

This condition, which they accept upon themselves, becomes the defining one for them, the highest, and is called restriction (Tzimtzum) and screen (Masach). That is how they work.

Therefore, there is no random restriction for them, as with psychics. They have the ability to consciously ascend with an understanding of cause and effect.

The Need for the Support of the Environment

528.01Question: Are there moments of truth on the spiritual path when you progress in constant tension? Can there be constant pressure?

Answer: There is no pressure at all in the spiritual. At the degree of our world we are being driven a little by animal suffering, but we cannot move forward with them.

If you really want to move forward, then you need other sufferings—sufferings of love. And for this you have to get a desire from the environment. You cannot move forward with your desires, you have to include yourself in the environment and get support from it.

The support of the group is that it constantly gives you desires for attainment: positive, negative, it does not matter which.

True Attainment or Drug Intoxication?

49.01Question: Is it possible to study Kabbalah in a drugged condition?

Answer: No, on the contrary, it requires immense internal tension, absolutely sober thoughts, feelings, and reactions. This is not the buzz, when you have to be in some kind of frenzy surrounded by smoke that is necessary for mystical actions. Here you need a very clear head, and very clear feelings, desires, and thoughts where you know how to manage them.

I used to think that if spirituality is somewhere out there, then the more I disconnect from this world, the closer I will be to the spiritual one, and it will enter me directly. I just open my mouth only half-consciously and—voila! I connect directly.

No! This is absolutely not true. We see this in all of our activities. Spirituality is revealed only with attainment, sensation, effort, and mobilization of internal reserves. Neither alcohol, drugs, nor some kind of ups and downs will help. On the contrary, they disconnect a person from the spiritual and include him in some kind of internal trip and nothing more.

Kabbalah is not just for or against drugs and alcohol. After all, when you are sitting with friends, you can drink a little in order to relax on a human level but not to get drunk, rather, relax a little because a person has internal locks in his relations with others.

In addition, if a person is doing very serious inner work, then alcohol and drugs quickly burn out. It all depends on one’s internal tension.

Kabbalah starts shaking you so much that drugs do not help here. You feel like you fell out of life. The rest have gone far ahead, and you seem to be crawling out of the basement into the light of day.

I have never tried drugs in my life. I had a rejection of any means that could cut myself off from real attainment of the upper world. Therefore, I could not accept any religion or any other teachings. When they told me: “You have to believe, you have to accept, you have to switch off,” it did not exist for me, but only real attainment, real analysis, and synthesis of knowledge.

“What is the future of humanity?” (Quora)

Dr. Michael LaitmanMichael Laitman, On Quora: What is the future of humanity?

In the future, people will come to see the connections among nature’s myriad parts.

More specifically, our future change would be only in how we understand connections.

Take, for instance, an alien suddenly visiting our planet. It would see us all as a single phenomenon, and would be unable to discern our differences, that there are police officers, thieves, rich and poor, women and men, and so on. It is the same with us.

When we discover the world where we are correctly connected among each other and with nature, with the revelation of the force of love and bestowal among us, then we would sense a completely new, amazing and capacious reality. We would understand the depths of everything happening in the universe, with the born, the unborn, the living and the dead.

That is what we can expect in our final future state.

We will understand nature’s inanimate, vegetative, animate and human matter in all of its cycles.

Most importantly, however, we will feel that we exist in a network of connections and mutual influences among nature’s parts and degrees before their origin in our world, and during their existence in our world and afterward.

Perceiving the complete interconnection of nature’s parts will give us an eternal picture that answers our every question without exception. We will gain clarity as to why everything happened, is happening and will happen, the way that it did, does and will do. We will also receive a clear understanding of the law by which we develop. Like with embroidery, on one side we see a beautiful picture, and on the other side, we see various knots where if they are cut, the picture falls apart. That is what we are like: if we do not feel our connections, then we fall apart and become distant from each other.

What Will Prevent Nuclear War?

294.2In the News (The Guardian): “Five of the world’s most powerful nations have agreed that “a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought” in a rare joint pledge to reduce the risk of such a conflict ever starting.

“The pledge was signed by the US, Russia, China, the UK and France, the five nuclear weapons states recognised by the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) who are also the five permanent members of the UN security council. They are known as the P5 or the N5. …

“‘We affirm that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought,’ the statement said, echoing a joint declaration by Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev at a 1985 summit in Geneva. …

“The five nuclear weapons powers also stated that the ‘reduction of strategic risks’, making sure global tensions never lead to nuclear conflict, was one of their ‘foremost responsibilities’.”

Question: Trillions of dollars are spent on the arms race, and such sweet letters are swiftly signed: “We are against the arms race. We are for stopping it” (whatever you want). What kind of papers are these?

Answer: Everything that is written and said is said only for the people and nothing more. The people will swallow it all and everything will move on.

In principle, all this is done in order to stay in power, to keep stealing, plundering, controlling, and ruling. Almost everyone has one goal: “I want to stay in power. I need it; it is profitable, it is convenient… and after us, the deluge.”

Question: Tell me please, do people want to hear it?

Answer: Yes they do. That is why they sell it to them.

Question: At what point will it no longer be a sale, and we will really reach a place where, with pain in our hearts and with great desire, we will sign such a paper that we do not want, God forbid, some kind of nuclear war to take place? What would have to happen in the world?

Answer: To do this, we need to correct people. So that the ones below understand that this cannot be without correcting everyone, right up to the very top.

Question: And if a person understands this, what will happen? What will he demand?

Answer: Then he will demand universal education, new education—collective, loving, etc.

Comment: I would like to believe that we will reach such a state.

My Response: Yes. But not now and not with these declarations.

Arena for Developing a Relationship with the Creator

423.01The society in which we live egoistically dominates us; it sets all sorts of standards for us: dress like this, comb our hair like this, look like this, be tall and thin and not fat or short, and so on.

This was created on purpose in order to better show our egoism. It turns out that a person exists in a variety of external negative influences. This state is called Galut (exile), when our qualities of bestowal and love are in exile from the spiritual and under the power of egoistic values, assessments, and attitudes.

Therefore all our efforts should be aimed at replacing these egoistic social attitudes with spiritual ones, and I will look at the inner world of a person, not at his externality, and I will evaluate him by his thoughts, not by how pleasant and good it is for me. This is our constant work on ourselves.

Here Kabbalah puts a person in very strict conditions where one must constantly engage in introspection and understand that a public egoistic machine is working on him by supplying him with its attitudes and egoistic standards every minute: “You must do this, look at people in this way, evaluate them according to such and such criteria.”

And a person must constantly resist this. Then he will see in the society around him, in the egoistic machine that acts on him, the guiding hand of the Creator, which thus educates him and leads him to a state of absolute love for all.

In this case the world becomes the arena, the place where we unite with the Creator in our mutual love for him. In fact, this world disappears; it does not exist. It is like a place where we simply connect, the Creator and I.

It is revealed to me that the whole world was created just for this. All this trumpery, lots of people and everything that happens to them, their influence on me and my influence on them are needed only to work out my relationship with the Creator.

The Meal Is a Hint of Spiritual Actions

506.3Comment: On holidays like Passover and Sukkot, everything revolves around a meal.

My Response: Meals come from spiritual roots and embody receiving the upper light for the sake of enjoyment.

A meal is not just a feast where you drink and eat. The fact is that all holidays have their own symbols and there are various customs around them. But in general, they express the consequence of spiritual actions and are absolutely clearly constructed in accordance with them.

There is nothing in them that we are used to: “Now let’s go, sit down and eat.” For example, everything that is served on the table in the New Year (Rosh HaShanah)—carrots, a fish head, a pomegranate, and so on—are hints of spiritual actions or phenomena.

Nourishment means receiving the highest light and abundance, not just the food that the body needs. After all, we mean the spiritual body, not our physical body.

When an Enemy Turns into a Friend

963.1Question: How does a person use envy correctly without trying to extinguish it in oneself?

Answer: There is no need to extinguish anything, not even the most negative thoughts and motives! All of this is corrected by the light, not you, so there is nothing to suppress in yourself.

On the contrary, when all sorts of negative qualities manifest themselves, it means that now you need upper light that will correct you a little. That is all. Meaning, you have a need for light, and without negative feelings it would not exist.

Question: Let us say a person has a need for light, but it does not take away his desire to stab someone. Or is it somehow transformed?

Answer: It is transformed. It is like you are cutting the intention, but the desire remains.

If you have a desire to slaughter people, then go to the slaughterhouse and work there as a slaughterer of cattle. And the transformation takes place in intentions.

My intention to cause someone some kind of injury turns into the opposite. I correct it with the help of the upper light to the opposite, and my enemy becomes my most beloved friend, no matter how incredible it seems now.

Conceal the Creator from Yourself Voluntarily

294.4It is not easy to climb the spiritual degrees by faith above reason because the picture that appears before you is absolutely clear and understandable to you. This is the hostile action of egoism that reveals the future to you as the present, and you must neglect what you see as if it does not exist.

The revelation of the Creator unfolds all possibilities before you, not just a temporary scan, and makes the future like the present, because there is no future, present, and past.

The surrounding light is the future. The light emanating from Partzuf Nekudim is the past. The inner light (Ohr Pnimi) that fills the Partzuf is the present.

When a person has all this converging into one, he does not take it into account; he has a screen to disassemble everything into parts and make a temporary setup himself, to go through all these states with his own efforts.

In other words, the Creator reveals Himself and everything becomes absolutely clear, but a person voluntarily conceals the Creator from himself, i.e., all the energy, information, action, and plan, in order to create a picture out of the darkness by himself and combine it into one mosaic, because in this way he learns the inner meaning of the Creator and this will give the Creator pleasure. That is what he is interested in!

So Kabbalists have a slightly different approach compared to psychics. We disagree with them because first we need a screen to turn our world into a world of infinity in all respects with infinite knowledge, attainment, movement, or whatever.

The screen is necessary for one to own, like the Creator, who took all the power of the universe, and not our little world that occupies one dark point, and to use this power as he sees fit based on his elevation.

Opportunities should not exceed knowledge, otherwise you see what an atomic bomb in the hands of savages can lead to.

Signs of Spiritual Roots

557The Ari’s book Gate of Intentions, which in fact means their roots, describes spiritual actions that are behind physical actions. From this, it becomes clear why a person is arranged in such a way that he must eat certain food.

Precisely a certain one, that is, to not eat the meat of animals that swallow food, but only of ruminants that regurgitate food and swallow, regurgitate and swallow. Such a closed cycle of digestion symbolizes feedback.

The “cloven hooves” represent the Parsa that separates the right and left lines.

Of great importance is how to cook food, and why it should be kosher. Kosher means usable.

The separation of meat from dairy is the right and left lines. The six hours break between eating them is HGT NHY: six Sefirot of Zeir Anpin that separate it from Malchut. And so on.

All this is in imitation of the upper spiritual sources that have descended into our world and built their corporeal counterparts in it.

“Is the world really controlled by just a few families?” (Quora)

Dr. Michael LaitmanMichael Laitman, On Quora: Is the world really controlled by just a few families?

Indeed, we live within a power hierarchy where only a few dozen families control the world and do whatever they wish for themselves. It seems as if they have limitless abilities with their power, as they limit humanity from obtaining true information, acquiring certain medication, normal food and cheaper energy that we could have long used instead of oil. They act based on their egoistic pursuits and position.

We are powerless to create any different kind of order in our world unless we rise to a degree of connection where we start feeling the positive forces dwelling in nature, which are currently concealed from us. We will then exit this power structure we find ourselves in. These few families cannot stand in the way of nature’s governance and limit our world in its positive form of development.

The wisdom of Kabbalah calls these people in power “angels.” The Kabbalistic meaning of “angels” is completely different to the way most people think about that word. “Angels” means certain forces that are under the complete control of the upper force, and these ones in question function as a shadow of our flaws.

If we positively connect in a way that adapts us to the positive forces of nature—forces of love, bestowal and connection—we neutralize negative forms of control over us. For the time being, however, while we remain detached in our egoistic connections, each one pulling their own way, then it is as if we sustain those few families’ power. In other words, we ourselves are their power source, and we create the conditions for their existence.

Therefore, our progress to a harmonious and peaceful future depends on our transformation to positively connect. When we do so, we will feel the powers over us operating out of absolute love and care—an attitude that will grant everyone access to the most powerful, boundless and perfect form of fulfillment.

The Biggest Еgoist in the World

231.02Question: It is said in Kabbalah that those who are greater than their friends have more egoism. Surely you are the greatest egoist of all, are you not?

Answer: I have always been a very big egoist, so much so that I simply could not hear others and be in tune with them.

Question: How do you have the patience now to listen to the most stupid statements?

Answer: The fact is that I integrate with the one who asks, in his desire. His desire is new in the world. It does not matter that I went through that already and he did not. In the general system, this desire has not yet been corrected, and when a person asks, I connect to his desire and make a correction.

For me this is an opportunity to do more, so I am glad for such manifestations. The same questions can be repeated for thousands of hours, but each time they are asked by different elements of the general system of souls, and therefore every time I look at this as an opportunity for correction. With my answer, I connect a person to the spiritual, and he continues on.

Switching occurs through me.

It is just a system, like that which we see today in technology, in computers, and in some large networks. It is a system! Of course, it works on completely different principles, primarily on the principles of bestowal. Secondly, it is integral. Everything in it interacts simultaneously; there is no time, no cycles. This is not a pulse system, but an analog one. It is impossible to describe it.

But in principle it is possible to influence each other in some way. Prayer is called the revelation of desire, and the answer to prayer is the reception and fulfillment of desire. There are two very interesting articles in The Book of Zohar about raising prayer and about its fulfillment; these laws of commutation are described there.

The Last Generation—Perception of Reality

712.03Question: What is the perception of reality of a person of the last generation?

Answer: The reality of the last generation is that people will see all the connections between the numerous parts of nature.

Nothing will change, only the understanding of connections will change.

For example, if an alien suddenly came to our planet, he would not be able to understand the differences between us. It would be incomprehensible to him that these are policemen, these are thieves, these are rich, these are poor, these are women, and these are men. It does not have that understanding. It is the same with us.

When we reveal the upper world, we see nothing new except that we begin to understand the correct relationship between all the elements of creation. It is so amazing and capacious; it gives an understanding of the depths of everything that happens in the universe,  with the unborn, with the born, with the living, and with the dead.

Everything is included here: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human matter in all its cycles. But most importantly, there is a network of connections and mutual influences between parts of all degrees of nature before their origin in this world and during their existence in this world and after.

When this interaction is revealed in its entirety, a person sees an infinite, eternal picture that gives answers to all one’s questions without exception. Everything becomes clear to a person in whatever has happened, is happening, and will happen in the world.

He clearly understands the law by which everything develops because he sees the interconnection of all parts of nature. It is like embroidery on a hoop: on one side there is a beautiful picture, and on the other side there are knots, and if you cut them, everything will fall apart. We are like that, without feeling the connections, we move away from each other.

Grasp the Feeling of The Creator

527.03In physics, there are phenomena that based on some alternative possibilities and research, we come to the conclusion that something exists, but we cannot determine it even indirectly. We have the same problem with the Creator. People guess and make assumptions about Him, and on these bases philosophies, religions, and what not arise!

What is this force that determines, creates, and brings everything to life? We cannot feel this either in our bodily senses or with artificially created instruments. We cannot! We do not have such a measuring tool or some kind of scanner or X-ray.

Kabbalah directs a person to create a device within oneself that will enable the person to sense the Creator, tune oneself to this phenomenon, this force, this field, and by continuously changing oneself to come closer and closer to it. You need to work tirelessly on yourself and then it will happen.

It is said that after you make certain quantitative and qualitative efforts which are called Igati (came), you will reveal Him, which is called Matsati (found). And that is it!

The only problem is that we do not know exactly what kind of efforts there are. And for that we have been given a group and all the conditions that Kabbalists write about.

In principle, Kabbalah exists only to help a person not be confused, but to apply the right amount of effort in the right place and as efficiently as possible.

And then, when you grasp the tail of the feeling of the Creator, and you already have it, you begin to move forward along it. You grab the end of the rope and climb up. The main task of Kabbalists is to bring us to the first contact in order to grasp the feeling of the Creator.

Therefore, every day you need to change and be afraid that you are losing time. After all, here you are racing against time.

My Response: Yes, the more I pass the light through me to the whole world, naturally the more I ascend and rise. It is an interconnected system. I cannot ascend unless the next layer forms underneath me. This is how I grow, only through the students.

Once upon a time, the first Kabbalists were at the level of NHY, the lowest Sefirot. Then a layer of students started to form under them who reached the level of HGT, and then to the level of HBD. That is, everything grows from the bottom to the top because more and more corrected souls are connected from below.

The same thing happens with us; if you want to rise even a little, you need some more people to form under you.

For example, if you make a certain dissemination project in such a way that many people will awaken from it to a correct action and as a result they somehow indirectly, no matter how, reach the source of light, then naturally, a huge foundation will be formed under you so that you can rise.

Distributing the Sparks of Bestowal

161Comment: Jewish people have their own purpose and that is why the point in the heart is revealed in them. But others do not have these sparks. But sometimes you say they will still awaken in everyone.

Answer: No, the shattering was only among Jews. Therefore, there are parts of the desire of the common Malchut into which the sparks of bestowal have penetrated more or less, but they necessarily exist somewhere.

Therefore, there are such nations, such parts of civilization, that cannot independently feel the point in their heart or ignite it by attracting the upper light upon themselves and creating an inner light out of the surrounding light. And there are those who gradually will be able to do so.

Thus, there are nations closer and further from correction in accordance with the so-called 70 nations of the world—the 7 Sefirot of Zeir Anpin. Therefore, they are divided into more active ones, not as low, with awareness and perception, as well as less active, more passive ones.

But this does not say which of them is higher or lower. This only speaks about the correction process: who is earlier or later, who should help those lagging behind.

And then, once everything is formed into a general system, it turns into a sphere where everyone is absolutely equal.
