Journalist and anchorman Vladimir Molchanov interviews Rav Michael Laitman, PhD on the purpose of egoism, the situation with Israel in relation to its neighboring Muslim countries, the restoration of Nazi regimes, the behavior and practise of religious leaders, the increase of hatred, Kabbalah as a supranational concept, how Rav Laitman began studying Kabbalah, the laws of nature, the use of science in the world and its relation to Kabbalah, the spiritual root of political unacceptance of drug legalization, Kabbalah’s view on new-age gurus and movements, Zephath as a Kabbalistic center, Kabbalah’s view on amulets and icons as symbols of faith, the upbringing and education of children, the reason for Kabbalah’s widespread dissemination today and the sixth sense.
This is a section of the interview, on the laws of nature:
V. Molchanov: You claim that there exist objective laws of society, and no one, including Bush or Stalin, can do anything. What are these laws? Are the millions of people who were destroyed by Stalin and Hitler a consequence of these objective laws? Do they fall into these laws?
Rav Laitman: Unfortunately, yes. If we talk about laws, we need to part from our feelings. We just need to learn what happens with the forces that influence our world.
The picture is the following: a single, all-encompassing and absolutely altruistic force directing humanity toward equivalence with it. Like any physical force, it performs actions without taking our feelings into account. This is the state we are in.
You are talking about a kind God, feelings, and the fact that He takes care of His creatures. There is no such thing. Objective laws of nature are described in Kabbalistic sources, as well as in my books and our translations, which are all recitations of old books. A scientific description of Kabbalistic knowledge was first done in the times of ancient Babylon, when Sefer Yetzira (The Book of Creation) was written. This whole conception, the whole scheme of Upper governance, is already described there.
If we look at what is happening to us from aside, not like creatures that experience various feelings and suffering, we will see that it is the influence of forces. And they will continue to lead us further ahead in this manner. If we don’t come to understand them, and if we don’t begin to know precisely how to act, like in physics or chemistry, how to implement and realize these laws with a benefit to us, we will continue to suffer further. more…

Kabbalists explain that the only role of the Jewish people is to reveal to humanity how it can achieve the highest possible level of existence, and that the Jewish people have no choice in the matter. more…
Kabbalah Today issue 4 expands on the essence and principles of Kabbalah, discusses how they should be introduced to humanity according to the teachings of Baal HaSulam, and the role of the Jewish people on the process.
In this issue:
Who Are You, People of Israel? – 5,000 years ago, an outbreak of the ego separated humanity’s spiritual oneness and divided it into “the many.” In the last 150 years, a new outbreak of the ego will lead us from our separation to spiritual oneness. Those with the biggest egos – the people of Israel – have to first discover this oneness, and then pass it on to humanity.
A “Properly Working” Nature – Humanity’s demand for happiness and pleasure is growing, and humanity will soon realize that lasting pleasure can only be achieved through mutual love and realizing our fundamental interconnectedness.
Mission: Possible (And Mandatory) – The role of the people of Israel is to reveal the laws governing the universe, and pass this revelation to the whole of humanity.
Spiritual Education – Education is primarily through example, and a spiritual education of children can be achieved once humanity starts living in balance with the spiritual laws governing our reality.
Unraveling The Zohar – A Wakeup Call – Being awake during the day doesn’t mean we are awake spiritually. This article discusses the matter of sleep in spirituality, and what it means to be spiritually awake.
…and more, including an exploration of the source of the human self, definitions of terms used in Kabbalah, and Kabbalistic Q&A.
The Nation of Israel’s Role 04:31 Rav Michael Laitman, PhD describes the nation of Israel’s role in the world, its connection to the wisdom of Kabbalah, and the reason for the present-day rise of anti-Semitism in a talk with European MTV host Eden Harel.
Israeli Social Affairs Minister Isaac Herzog was quoted as saying, “There is a long trail of anti-Semitism in Europe.” Kabbalah says we must look inside for the reason. Click here to read full article
According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, anti-Semitism will continue to spread and intensify until Jews fulfill their reason for being in this world: to learn how to love their neighbors as themselves, as taught by Rabbi Akiva, and then pass this teaching on to the rest of the world.
