Dr. Gary Marcus, director of the NYU Infant Center, Professor of Psychology at NYU, editor of the Norton Psychology Reader, and author of 3 books on the development of the mind, talks with Dr. Michael Laitman about evolution, free choice, selfishness and education.

Here’s an extract from the conversation:

Michael Laitman: School should not only turn children into engineers, or physicians, or economists, or maybe lawyers. First of all, they have to come out with values toward their environment, and here is where we run up against a problem that is not really up to the teachers.

Gary Marcus: I totally agree with that. I think part of teaching children about the broader picture is really to understand the limits of their own minds. We don’t really teach them about what it is to be a human being, or the limits of the human mind, the ways in which we can be selfish…

Thousands Of Jews, Christians, Muslims & Atheists Gather In Israel To Show What Kabbalah Is Really About

Tel Aviv, Israel, November 8 2010 — The 2010 World Kabbalah Convention, held on November 9-11, will host 7,000 people of all the world’s faiths, from 54 countries, speaking 38 languages, coming to celebrate what Kabbalah is really about – the connection among all people.

Kabbalah is popularly mistaken as religion or mysticism, but the people attending this convention have delved deeper into Kabbalah and understand that it is a method with the sole aim of developing connections of love among people. The need for love is a point all people share, no matter what their faith, nationality, age or gender. Those attracted to Kabbalah are those who found it increasingly difficult to fulfill this need in modern society, and the 2010 World Kabbalah Convention will serve to express this need, hosting people from all around the world who find it important to connect on a basis of love among all people.

The 2010 World Kabbalah Convention will include lessons with Dr. Michael Laitman, founder and president of the world’s largest Kabbalah educational resource, the Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Education & Research Institute, www.kabbalah.info, author of over 30 books on Kabbalah, and the Internet’s most active spiritual blogger at www.laitman.com. The lessons will be followed by workshops, activities, meals and cultural events all aimed at bringing the deepest level of connection among people to life.

Moreover, for the first time at an annual World Kabbalah Convention, not only will the event’s lessons and activities be broadcast on the Internet and on television, but there will also be roaming cameras during recesses, allowing convention attendees to share their impressions with tens of thousands of worldwide viewers, making it a non-stop 3 day broadcast on www.kab.tv and on the Israeli television Channel 66.

Moby Interview With Michael Laitman

[audio:http://flash1.na.kab.tv:8080/eng/shows/crossroads/mp3/eng_mayevent_crossrd_moby_10min_2009-05-20.mp3]

Moby, musician, singer-songwriter and DJ, talks with Dr. Michael Laitman about human interactions and music.

Here’s an extract from the conversation:

Moby: Music often times is the embodiment of spirit, because you can’t touch spirit. And it drives us, as humans, crazy because we like things we can touch. I like being able to say “chair” and “shoe” and “fake apple.” There’s comfort in identifying and labeling, but the universe cannot be identified; the universe cannot be labeled.

Michael Laitman: You’re right in that music, of all human engagements, of all that we build and create in our world, music is the most spiritual. It is the most sublime. It’s something really existing not even in sounds because there are no sounds. There’s a kind of special harmony to it that exists in nature beyond the sounds. When we perceive a little bit of that harmony and clothe it in notes and kind of drink a tiny sip of it, it’s truly beyond and above any corporeal expression, beyond frequencies.

Kabbalah explains where these forces come from, how I perceive them, why I understand them the way I do, why through all kinds of means and pretty limited means I create those sounds that I hear; not in my ear. But before we can visualize music within us, there is a kind of program, a harmony that is depicted in our brain regardless of our hearing, regardless of notes, of sounds. And we process it down to notes, down to certain sounds, in a certain order that is bounded by time and movement, and we turn it into music. But before that, it’s something that exists on a degree that is above us.

John St. Augustine And Michael Laitman Discuss How To Reach People With The Message Of Positive Change

Listen to this interview using the Flash player below:
[audio:http://flash1.na.kab.tv:8080/eng/shows/crossroads/mp3/eng_mayevent_crossrd_john-staugustine_26min_2009-05-20.mp3]

John St. Augustine, host of Oprah Radio’s John St. Augustine Show and author of Living an Uncommon Life and Every Moment Matters, talks with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman about the growing dissatisfaction with life that a lot of people face, and how to bring a solution to this problem.

Here’s an extract from the conversation:

Host: How do you get people to really connect?

John St. Augustine: You listen to shows like this. I am serious. It’s like going to the gym and working out; you have to do it over and over again. I believe at some point in our lives, either you push yourself towards it, or the universe will push you towards it. You’ll have a break – an illness, a divorce, a loss in business, a death in your family – and all of sudden, the ego takes a hit and you say, “Wait a minute, maybe something else is out there that I didn’t realize”?

Host: Dr. Laitman, do you care to comment?

Michael Laitman: We find it very difficult today. As John said correctly, the new technologies that were so trendy and so appealing in the last decade, computers, now iPhones, and whatever else; today, we see in advance that it is not going to satisfy us. We become experienced that it is going to be over soon.

Host: What is the answer?

Michael Laitman: The answer: There is nothing drawing me forward and pulling me. We have to search for a new goal, but a goal that will not be like previous goals…

Theoretical physicist Dr. Amit Goswami talks with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman through meeting points between quantum science and spirituality in a discussion about human consciousness and perception, focusing on the point where people cannot perceive in their inborn senses.

Dr. Amit Goswami is Professor Emeritus in Theoretical Physics in the University of Oregon, author of the textbook Quantum Mechanics, used in universities worldwide, pioneer in a new paradigm of science called “Science in Consciousness,” and in his two latest books, God Is Not Dead and Creative Evolution, he shows us first where the hints that come from quantum physics show that there is an existence of God. And we know him, of course, from the feature documentary What the Bleep Do We Know!?.
