![The Whole World Is One Family [Kabbalah Quote]](https://www.kabbalahblog.info/wp-content/uploads/the-whole-world-is-one-family_450.png)
The science of Kabbalah explains that we all exist in a net that binds us together. Because of this, we have to treat each other as if we are in one boat, or like the members of one family. Baal HaSulam writes that the whole world is one family, and we must therefore build harmonious relationships of collaboration among us, instead of our present egoistic relationships.
The general connection among us that has been revealed obliges us to be in agreement with one another. This means that there must be agreement in our actions, thoughts, desires, and everything else. However, no one knows how to make seven billion people interact harmoniously with each other. And yet, the interconnection that is being revealed to us obliges us to accomplish this.
The revelation will continue to happen gradually, one step at a time. No one knows how the next stage will be revealed because this depends on how we realize the current stage. For this reason, Kabbalists propose that the entire society be taught about the law of interaction that is being revealed in the world. This knowledge will enable people to make the right actions. –Dr. Michael Laitman, in “Our Future Depends on What We Do in the Present.”

![Humanity's Next Degree Is Called "Human"... [Kabbalah Quote]](https://www.kabbalahblog.info/wp-content/uploads/humanitys-next-degree-human_450.png)
Our development is heading towards freeing the human being from the animal level where it is necessary to take care of the body, so that at the moment when we begin to recognize the evil of our egoism and its finality, we could become fully engaged in our re-education and similarity to the next degree of our —the level of “human,” in the implementation of the Biblical condition of “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” –Dr. Michael Laitman, in “The Third Industrial Revolution.”

How Changing One’s Intention Expands Perception
The only difference between the vessels that perceive the corporeal reality and those that perceive the spiritual reality is in the intention. The corporeal vessels are egoistic and the spiritual vessels are altruistic. Intention is related to one’s attitude towards the use one makes of one’s desires.
The only state that really exists is the state of Ein Sof (Infinity). In that state, the Light is present within the Kli. However, that state is concealed, and the concealment prevents us from experiencing the state of Ein Sof. The altruistic intention gradually removes this concealment and exposes the Light that permanently fills the Kli.
If we keep this depiction in mind, we will remember that we never reveal any Lights outside the vessels. When Kabbalists say that Lights enter or exit the vessels, they wish to emphasize how one draws nearer to the attainment of the constant state. In Kabbalistic terms, Ein Sof is a state of “complete rest,” meaning it is unchanging. Our work is to gradually prepare our tools of perception to perceive that state. Thus, the only change is in our abilities to perceive.
If Nature Is Perfect and Eternal, Why Don’t We Perceive It?
When Light “clothes” a person and one feels how it gradually enters, the constant state becomes gradually clearer as one awakens to feeling it. The Light never actually enters and never actually exits. It only becomes clearer and more evident, meaning more revealed and less concealed.

Everybody wants to live in a world founded on love, but no one believes that it can be a reality. We speak about love when telling fairytales to our children because everyone understands that love is good to speak about to a child, that it makes life safer than animosity.
However, what if it were possible to make a world out of love? Our world today is hostile, competitive, dog-eat-dog and life is becoming increasingly worse.
As Baal HaSulam wrote, “A person is a small world.” A person’s anger and cruelty toward the world boomerangs back against him, when implementing his egoistic desires and hating himself. This split personality is becoming increasingly prominent.
Now picture to yourself that you could transform your outlook and your relationships to a course of love and care. What would happen if we could suddenly influence, educate and correct the world so that there would be no theft, damage or exploitation?
We would then perceive an opposite world and no one would fear that their life would become wiped out tomorrow. People would not be afraid that tomorrow we would eradicate the planet and bury ourselves under the waste from our own production.
Love would oblige us to act in the best and most correct way. We wouldn’t have to search for billions of occupations just to keep the population busy, producing things no one needs. Even if everyone would be unemployed, every person would receive what is necessary because then people also wouldn’t need any excesses since they would live in a kind, amiable world.
Then we wouldn’t pollute the earth with unnecessary products, which is 90% of all the things being produced. If we look at nature, there is nothing wasted. Look at how life is organized in the animal kingdom, from the beginning of creation to its end, in all the forms that are included in nature’s cycle where everything is repeatedly used to 100% capacity.
All the cycles are absolutely closed, with the exception of the things the person does. When people produce anything, it does not return to nature in the natural form, but in the form of toxins that poison nature.
However, if we treated each other with love, we would make the world clean as well. Love would ensure that we will not demand any excess for ourselves and then everything would normalize. How different would things be from today where all the oceans are full of garbage and radioactive waste?
All we lack in our world is attention toward one another and mutual participation in the integral system, and we will get there out of our desperate state.
Based on the post “Love Is the Most Powerful Weapon” on Laitman.com – Michael Laitman’s Personal Blog.
What is love? How do we come to realize love in all kinds of different relationships, whether it be among couples, family, or society at large? What is the source of love and how can we draw this force into our lives? Love is one of the many topics tackled in the Free Kabbalah Course. Registration for the Summer 2014 semester closes soon, don’t miss out!…
