Your Spiritual Correction Self-Test

The law in the love of friends is to want to see the friends’ merits and not their faults. If one sees some fault in one’s friend, it is a sign that the fault is not in his friend, but in his own love of friends.

If we want to see the world as a perfect place, we have to perpetually change ourselves and correct our egoism to be adequate for a new perception of the world. It’s called “loving one’s friends”. Look at what great possibilities for work that the group (friends) and the environment give us. It’s totally enough if we perpetually test ourselves by asking, “What do I think about them? How do I support my friends? How do I connect with them? Are we together or not really?”

Shoftim (Judges) Parsha – Weekly Torah Portion

Deuteronomy, 16:18-21:9
This Week’s Torah Portion | September 4 – September 10, 2016 – 1 Elul – 7 Elul, 5776

In A Nutshell

The portion, Shoftim (Judges), continues to explain the Mitzvot (commandments) connected to the entrance to the land of Israel. The portion begins with appointing Judges to make the laws and officers to enforce them, so there will be true justice in Israel.

The portion describes the laws of the king, who must be chosen from among the people. The portion also deals with the prohibition to engage in witchcraft and turns the people to the true prophets. Finally, the portion teaches the people how they should conduct themselves in a time of war.

Commentary by Dr. Michael Laitman

The Torah was given to every person, for one to correct oneself, as it is written, “I have created the evil inclination, I have created for it the Torah as a spice.” Every person, whether or not one demands social justice, should first discover that one is filled with the evil inclination. We must discover that we are completely egotistical in order to perform our correction. Put differently, we need to discover that we are living as criminals.

During the High Holidays we say [1], “We are at fault; we have betrayed.” It is written about these words, “Keep far from a false word” (Exodus 23:7). We need to discover that it is we who have committed those transgressions. If we think what is written is overstated and is not a true depiction of who we are, it is a sign that we have not yet come to know who we truly are, and that we still need to discover the entirety of our evil inclination. This is when the Torah comes to us, because “the light in it reforms them.” That is, the Torah instructs us on how to elicit from it the light that will reform us, so we may achieve the love and bonding with others.

There is much work for us to do: We walk in the darkness, in the desert, in cries, in scrutinies, in raising MAN, in various transgressions, such as with the spies, and the waters of quarreling, until we reach the boundaries of the land of Israel. We correct ourselves until we can use our desires in order to bestow.

Structure of Creation Course | Lesson 3 – The Force of Bina

The Series “General Overview” is a six lesson documentary given by Dr. Michael Laitman to his students on the topic of the Structure of Upper Worlds. The series clarifies the process of creation of the spiritual worlds, from the Initial Thought of Creation, through the creation of the soul of Adam HaRishon and its shattering, up to the development of Man in our world. It also includes the awakening of desire for spirituality in our times. The series is mostly based on the article “Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah,” by the Kabbalist, Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag.

 

Lesson 3 -The Force of Bina

In order to correct the created being and bring it into equivalence of form with the Creator, the quality of bestowal must be included within Malchut. Malchut knows only one thing – to receive and enjoy pleasure. If Malchut understands what is bestowal, it will be able to construct upon itself a screen, an anti-egoistic intention in order to bestow. This screen will allow it to receive in order to bestow to the Creator.

What Is Life?

DOES LIFE HAVE A MEANING? Why are so many people suffering? What happens to us when we die? Where did we come from? Authentic Kabbalah was made to answer these and all of life’s deepest questions. Take a tour of the laws shaping your life. Discover insights the ancient Kabbalists had into nature’s program and the purpose behind it. In this two hour lecture, we’re going to debunk the many myths surrounding Kabbalah, answer your questions, and explain how you can take the first step into the path of spiritual attainment using Kabbalah’s most practical methodology.

Build a Love Triangle That Will Heal Your Marriage

It is said: “A husband and a wife, and the Divine presence between them”. If a husband and a wife start cultivating a relationship of absolute giving, this connection is born, this triple union is formed between them.

Instead of our merely tolerating each other, we join together as one whole! This is called: “A man and a wife and Divinity between them.” We begin to relate to each other through the Creator since we are not alone: He always is between us. That’s why I perceive my wife through the prism of the Creator, that is, I see both the Creator and her. Accordingly, she sees the Creator and me. If we don’t take into account the third factor we won’t be able to build a triangle, nor will we be able to live together.

Learn How to Widen Your View and Change Your Reality

Spiritual correction cannot happen in one limited field of life, in a single atom or a particle. It can happen only between all of them.

By correcting our perception of reality to the right perception, we change our entire life. Kabbalah teaches us how to discover the true reality and a new world. This correction isn’t meant to change our corporeal life, but actually to change all of reality from one end to the other. Thanks to the change of our internal attributes, we also change the external world because the world we see is the imprint of our internal attributes.
