Machsom (Hebrew for “barrier”) is the barrier that stands between this world and the spiritual world. Here’s what Rav Michael Laitman wrote about the Machsom in this must read post…

A question I received: You’ve been the leader and mentor of the Bnei Baruch group for nearly twenty years. Maybe it’s time to make a public summary? How many people have crossed the Machsom over this period of time, and how has the world changed as a consequence? Or is this no longer the objective today? Are you now simply trying to change the world without your students’ personal correction?

I understand that this question will be deleted, but at least someone will read it. But if you do decide to publish an answer, then please don’t beat around the bush: give us real numbers and results, and the actual improvement in the world.

My Answer:

* Number of students in the world – around 2,000,000.
* Number of groups in the world – 73.
* Number of people who have crossed the Machsom – 19.
* Number of people who are about to cross the Machsom – 210. The rest will cross it by the year 2012.
* Annual growth of students – 700-900%.
* Number of hopeless students – 1. It’s you.

Will Project 10^100 Change the World?

bbadmin — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:16:34 +0000

Do You Think Project 10^100 Will Change the World? If So Let’s Define Some of the Problems

Hi everyone, thank you for your posts and comments. We are still working diligently on formulating the best solutions for the world crises, as per Google’s Project 10^100. Here’s an interesting e-mail we’ve just received from a person in Brazil:

“Unreasonable use of our natural and human resources drove us to the world’s crises. It’s up to humans to make the decision to start utilizing all the earthly resources in a way that will guarantee the survival and development of humankind and other species on the planet.

Why does it seem like we are incapable of taking the right decisions for our own good? We must develop our awareness to the root of our problem: exploitation of natural and human resources for egoistical purposes.

Therefore, I suggest that Google would create an Online Supranational Court of Judgment. This Court would accept accusations of egoistical actions committed by authorities, governments, powerful individuals or companies which would be notified to present their defenses. All cases would be openly examined by a committee of worldly known intellectuals (scientists, spiritualists, humanists). After reading the committee’s analysis, users would vote on the action in the following way: H- human, or E – egoist.

Lacking support, partnerships, clients, collaborators and under worldwide reproach, those considered egoists would ask for the committee’s advice in order to correct their ways. The Court’s cases and decisions would be largely divulged. On the other hand, altruistic actions would be encouraged through public praise and awards. In other words, altruism would turn into the main measure of appreciation among humankind so that our global society would be developing a new way of cleverness, in a short period of time”

- Luiz Oliveria, Brasil

We believe that what would help us in our thought-process is to define and prioritize the problems Google is addressing in its Project 10^100.

So, what do you think is the pressing issue that mankind is facing? Is it the environment? The escalating economic crisis? World hunger? Let us know what you think by posting a comment below, and feel free to watch the video below describing Kabbalah’s perspective on the root of the world’s problems and how we might be able to help solve them.

Project 10 to the 100th by Google

bbadmin — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 11:41:53 +0000

There are only TEN DAYS left for the Project 10 to the 100th by Google – and we’d love to have your help.

For the past few days, we at Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Education & Research Institute, have been working on a suitable idea for Project 10 to the 100th by Google. In general, Google is looking for ideas to help make the world a better place, and we would love to see that happen.

After all, we are now in the midst of an economic crisis, which is one of the many problems that the world is witnessing today. So, we will be using Kabbalah Blog to create an opportunity for meaningful discussions about the world problems and any solutions that may be possible.

For the next ten days we will be posting our ideas for the Project 10 to the 100th, and we’d love to hear your comments on them, and any ideas of your own. Let’s start a dialog on the most important thing in the world – helping the world itself.

bbadmin — Fri, 18 May 2007 00:10:51 +0000

You’re no idiot, of course. You know that Kabbalah is more than a celebrity fad or a red string bracelet. Its philosophies encourage us to look beyond the tangible for purpose and enlightenment.

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Kabbalah will show you exactly how to embrace these ancient teachings – and make them a part of your daily life. In this Complete Idiot’s Guide, you get:
- The facts – and fallacies – about Kabbalah.
- Enlightening advice on how to read the Bible or Torah from a Kabbalah point of view.
- Down-to-earth guidance on how to incorporate the essence of Kabbalah into everyday life.
- The story of creation according to Kabbalah.

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Kabbalah is Rav Michael Laitman’s first book written in English as an original language. Together with writer Collin Canright, this author duo produced a book rich with analogies, examples and alerts to explain this most ancient wisdom in the simplest way possible to the Western world.

In Wondrous Wisdom, we start learning how the process of our everyday life, and all life, works from the source of its creation. We start learning the science of the forces acting on us, our reality, and the method of how to control them – Kabbalah.

Michael R. Kellogg, student of Rav Michael Laitman, PhD and United States-based Bnei Baruch instructor, connects this deepest, most ancient wisdom about the universe’s secrets into our day-to-day lives, showing us how today’s “advent” of the wisdom of Kabbalah can already start improving our lives, our perception of ourselves and the world around us, and our relationships with people and nature.

The wondrous wisdom of Kabbalah now comes to each and every one of us as a guiding light, leading the way to the never-ending world of pleasure and fulfillment – the world where we all came from, and where we are all going.
