The Needed Shift to Altruistic Social Values

The Needed Shift to Altruistic Social Values

In this new article, Dr. Michael Laitman, PhD discusses altruism as Nature’s law, and introduces the idea that by changing social values to appreciate altruism, we can discover altruism as the source of perfect and unbounded pleasure.

From the article:
“When society values a person solely by his or her devotion to society, we will all necessarily strive to think and to act in favor of society. If we eliminate the awards we give for individual excellence, and appreciate people only for their concern for society, if children judge their parents by these standards, if friends, relatives, and colleagues examine us only according to how well we relate to others, we will all want to do good to others so we can win society’s appreciation.

Thus, we will gradually come to feel that expressing altruism, or unselfishness, toward others is a special and sublime value in and of itself, regardless of the social recognition it grants. In doing so, we will find that this attitude is actually a source of perfect and unbounded pleasure. Moreover, we will find that this attitude—altruism—is the comprehensive law of Nature, the same attitude that controls and sustains us.” more…

Let Nature Guide Us to Godliness

Essence of Life

Bnei Baruch’s latest installment in Shari Arison’s Essence of Life webzine is an article discussing altruism as Nature’s law, and humanity in relation to this law. Moreover, it introduces the method of Kabbalah as the means for humanity to consciously realize this law.

Firstly, by defining human drives as egoistic and detrimental to future development, and Nature as altruistic and beneficial to future development, a place for work is presented to humanity: to somehow learn how to become altruistic like Nature. This is the place where the method of Kabbalah enters to change “to somehow learn how to become altruistic” into a time-tested method of “how” to learn and implement altruistic relationships. As is stated in the article:

Kabbalah makes us aware of how much our environment influences our development, and offers a method for using the environment to frame altruistic human development.

The goal of the environment Kabbalists have devised is to guide a person in achieving homeostasis with Nature. As well as being the goal of Kabbalah studies, Kabbalists call this ‘the goal of Creation.’ They state that all of humanity is destined to become equal in form with the Creator, i.e. to become altruistic and function as one interconnected body in relation to the Creator.”
