“From the perspective of Kabbalah, we teach how to be connected among us above our egos. So everyone remains in his own religion, belief system and culture, and at the same time, we all have to be in this mutual connection. Just like everyone may have a different character, but we still can find a common language.”

Dr. Michael Laitman, taken from the video.

“Kabbalah is a method to correct man and the world. It’s not a faith, or a kind of mysticism or healing. Kabbalah is meant for all people, for the whole world, and it can be studied in addition to any religion.”

Dr. Michael Laitman, taken from the video.

This video animates the following quote from the book Bail Yourself Out: How You Can Emerge Strong from the World Crisis by Dr. Michael Laitman:

“Humanity, like the universe, is a perfect system comprised of myriad elements that interact with each other. Just as billions of galaxies make up the universe, billions of people combine to make up humanity. And just as there are stars, within each galaxy, there are people within nations and states. And the organs, tissue, and cells within each person’s body are like the planets, comets and asteroids orbiting their suns.

Expansion and contraction form the endless ebb and flow of life, propelled at one moment by the desire to give, and at the next moment by the desire to receive. Whether it is galaxies, suns, and planets merging to form our universe or cells, tissue, and organs combining to form a human being, this interplay of desires is at the heart of creation

As with the stars, Planet Earth evolved by expansion and contraction through the interaction of desires. When Earth was first formed, its surface reflected the flow of expansion and the ebb of contraction. Every time the desire to give prevailed, Earth’s sweltering interior would burst into rivers of malted lava. And every time the receiving force prevailed, the lava would cool and form new swaths of land. Eventually, a strong enough crust was formed over the Earth to allow for the emergence of life as we know it

If we search deep enough, we will find the same two forces—giving and receiving—within every being ever created, weaving their magnificent garment of life. In the weaving process, the desire to give first creates matter, as with the Big Bang or a newborn baby, and the desire to receive gives the matter shape, as with the stars and the differentiating cells in organism.”

Can Kabbalistic principles be used to control our world? Throughout history, people have used Kabbalistic texts and the symbols in them for all kinds of uses, to discover a secret, underlying force to help them in this world, to discover the means to control and power, and so on.

Is it possible to get anything from Kabbalistic texts using only symbols and not the inner force inherent in them? What’s the difference between discovering the inner force in Kabbalistic texts and trying to decode it symbolically? Dr. Michael Laitman speaks about it in this episode of Paths.

Unmarried people are often preoccupied with the idea of finding that special someone who will satisfy them all the time. This is impossible, and unrealistic expectations of this sort lead to conflicts and divorces.

People, especially women, don’t know how to find a good match today. While desiring happiness they don’t know how to attain it, confusing reality with fairytales. Inside every person is a sea of egoistic hatreds and misunderstandings that must be contended with before happiness can be secured.

The first order of business is to nullify this internal chaos by rising above one’s ego. The second order of business is to seek connection on this higher ground transcending both fantasies and concessions.

Humans, as a result of their development over thousands of years, have come to the conclusion that they can have everything and yet at the same time actually have nothing as a result.

This means that one’s path leads to a dead end. On the other hand, nature creates nothing in vain. If we are on this path, then for one reason or another, it’s necessary. A question arises: why is it necessary? What is the next stage that we are currently facing?

Everything we did until now was only in order to give pleasure to, fulfill, and protect our bodies, our corporeal existence. We tried to make our lives as comfortable, safe, pleasant, and beautiful as possible—above or at least equal to the lives of others. And now human beings come to a state, where this life has no meaning. There has to be a greater meaning.

Nature will drive us to a level where we will be intimately connected to and communicating with each other without words, as though we exist in one body, meaning outside of our own individual bodies. My thoughts are your thoughts; my heart is your heart. So that the desires and the minds of all people unite into a whole: all desires into one desire and all thoughts into one thought.

Human history can be divided into three major periods in very much the same way that the development of a human embryo consists of three trimesters.

All throughout our past, we’ve been expanding, conquering, building, destroying, restructuring, and rebuilding again as we’ve continued evolving. Humanity continued to spread throughout the world, until finally, we conquered everything. A human fetus reaches this condition in the 38th week of its development.

For a child, the mother’s womb is the most comfortable place to be, and yet, this stage of development is merely an intermediate stage. The goal is to be born, and it is therefore impossible to remain inside of the mother’s womb. During delivery, a mother’s body produces an enormous amount of adrenalin in order to help the child be born, since the process of delivery is quite difficult and painful for the child.

Similarly, we as humankind have reached a peak stage in our development, and we cannot continue existing according to the principles we previously designed. Even though we have no idea what to do next, this doesn’t mean that there is no general plan for our development. Nature operates its own program that impacts us, forcing us to be born through crises, disasters, epidemics, and wars. After this birth, the child continues to develop, attaining a totally different world outside of the womb.

We too need to finally attain the goal of our creation. How do we do this? You can start finding out by taking a free Kabbalah course at our Education Center (just click here).

In one of the comments to our first post Mark Zimmerman wrote his idea:

“Create (and constantly develop) a worldwide marketing campaign, which focuses on promoting altruism as the “in-thing” – that we can be respected in society only by our altruistic actions toward others. In other words, we use all sorts of imagery, arts, music, media and culture to make it “cool” and respectable to help/give to/love/think of other people.

Moreover, this question of “how do we help other people?” should continually be raised to the public through this promotion, so that this question constantly resonates in people’s thoughts, and so people will start thinking more about how to fulfill others and less about how to fulfill themselves – that true fulfillment is only through the fulfillment of others.”

Here are a couple commercials that promote altruistic values:

What do you think about this idea? And what about the videos?
Do you think that such publicity might actually convince (and maybe even change) people? Would it make an effect on you?
We’d love to know what you think about it.
