“Our whole life is a game because through games we develop.

Any growth in nature is carried out through play. Even the growth of cells is a game because they aspire to a future state that still doesn’t exist.

Spiritual development, too, is a game.

And as for children, the ‘childish’ games of every child determine the kind of person each of them will be.”

–Dr. Michael Laitman, in Children of Tomorrow

We need to discover that the problem of the crisis is the human element, something that’s really never been as dominant as it is today. So if we don’t change ourselves now, our attitude toward others and toward the global nature, just like the integral and global nature is in harmony among all of its elements; similarly, we need to be in harmony with the rest of nature. We are the only element in nature that is in opposition, through our egos, to the whole of nature. We want to use, we want to exploit, we want to use everything for our egos, and by that we are breaching the harmony and the balance. We have to know the law of the oneness, of the equilibrium, of the globality.

That’s why now we are in a new era. We have to process it, and we still don’t understand to what degree it is different. It’s a new era of evolution where the ego era is over and it’s closing in, and now we are in a new system. Previously, everyone tried to be a hot shot, the higher you were the more you suppressed others, and you succeeded. Today’s success will not be dependent on that; it will depend on the extent to which we can bond with each other. Read More »

Most people believe that the troubles that we experience in our lives come in a random manner of good or bad luck. If they get sick or lose their job then the tendency is to say “Well that’s life, what to do?”

Kabbalists will tell you otherwise – that there is nothing random about any of life’s events: every single thing, good and bad, is sent to us purposefully in order to prompt us to eventually question the purpose of our lives and to try to get to know the upper power that is orchestrating our world.

Just as we organize all aspects of our schools in order to maximize the learning progress of our children, so this upper power organizes all things within our world to hasten our progress through the stages that will culminate in an enlightened state of “loving our neighbors as ourselves.” Read More »

“I wish the whole of humanity could be placed into a single body, so I could embrace them all.” – Rav Abraham Isaac HaCohen Kook.

“Before the emanations were emanated and the creatures were created, the simple Upper Light filled the whole of reality.” Then, when the creature, the emanated that was made or created, it was the will to receive that was created. The internal degrees of desire, of self recognition of its own state, are all that we have besides the Light that created it. So we have the Light and the desire that was created by the Light.

So what does the Torah and the Creator mean? If it is One, and if it is all of the Light that one talks about, then why are there two: the Torah and the Creator? From the Creator, there’s only one attitude—love, but it is expressed in many forms, expressions, and manners, with respect to us, the creature.

Out of that attitude, the creature was created with all of its qualities that are different, indecent, and bad, far from the Creator, opposite. This was so that the creature would come to know the depth of the Creator’s attitude toward it, the depth of the love. Otherwise it would not have attained this. When the creature exists and attains the Creator’s attitudes toward it, in all kinds of forms, manners, qualities and degrees, that’s what it actually talks about; the creature has nothing else to talk about.
