hi. i was watching this video of laitman saying that freedom of speech should be curbed in some way (in agreement with the EU, that’s what he said). and i understand that he’s saying something about freedom itself and the spiritual, and that people should not just shout things (that there’s no real value in that), and that you should not hurt anyone.
but the thing that i wonder since he is siding with a specific law that limits speech, how could anyone do that? freedom of speech is not about wanting to say things, it’s about preventing tyranny. so how could he not understand that?
freedom of speech is also about creating a situation that prevents total destruction, and creates some opportunity in life, because there is no way of dealing with people who think being offended is a reason to attack you. that is the reason for violence in general. that is the reason why anyone gets angry and violent. so from a system perspective, you have to condemn violence, not speech. and you can never have a system that forces us to answer to them. they will take over like terrorists.

Hey Michael,
Whatever laws manifest in any country are just consequences of upper guidance. We can’t fathom the true interconectedness of our world and how each decision plays into the grand scheme. A Kabbalist is only concerned with reaching the purpose of creation, speeding up this development towards that goal and bringing the world into wholeness with the Creator. If some laws align more with furthering this agenda, then they align, if they don’t–they don’t. This observation shouldn’t denote “choosing sides”.
Any trouble or suffering in our world has only one root–the ego. Humanity is on a path of eventually recognizing this evil, but the first stage is that it must be recognized as the root of all our problems. No “band-aid” solutions will work to spot-fix the world’s issues.

So “love thy neighbour as yourself” has nothing to do with your neighbor next-door living beside you, as the rest of the world believes it means that, its really talking about someone who has the same spiritual goal as you? Someone in a ten? Then what about the guy next door then? Just be a nice neighbour and mind our business ?

Hi Brad,
Correct…the neighbor next door is not on the “menu” of who you can work with to bring them closer into yourself–caring for them more and eventually loving them. The guy next door, in the meantime, just needs a good attitude. “Don’t do to others what you wouldn’t want done to yourself”.

If my parents are evil is it my fault? Can I do something about it?
- March 27, 2024 at 3:06 pm EDT #366750Chris – KabU InstructorModerator
Hi mrc,
Certainly it’s not your fault…you didn’t choose them, you didn’t choose to be born, where to be born etc.. What is your goal if you’re asking to do something about it? Are you trying to change your parents? You don’t need to study Kabbalah to know this is not possible.

Am I perfect or far from it as perfect is infinity?
- March 23, 2024 at 9:21 pm EDT #365791Chris – KabU InstructorModerator
Hi mrc,
Perfect would be completely whole with the Creator. We were created exactly opposite to that. Our natural state is imperfect and we gradually work to revealing how imperfect–revealing the corruptions–in order to ask for corrections.
