First, run to the sources and try to cleave onto their words initially, and then try to enter them emotionally. Kabbalists will only talk about the spiritual world–that it is the perception of the one ruling force in reality that only does good. When a person feels suffering, this is certainly only on the side of the receiver, therefore the change must occur there as well in order to perceive something differently. The aim at these times, from the Creator, is not to “cause suffering”–the Creator cannot do this, rather, to cause us to rise above the existence of bitter/sweet and into an existence of true/fasle.
somewhere laitman says that everything is happening in our souls, and in general i’m always getting from you guys that we are trying to transform our egoistic nature to something altruistic. but i have the immediate problem of dealing with people that i perceive as aggressors and that threaten me in a very serious way… how is this all in my soul? how does changing my nature stop them from attacking me?
Hey Michael,
I’m sure you’ve had a dream you felt was real. This world is certainly “real” in the same sense. This is just the default perception for us currently. We all agree on this perception, this shared perception of the world we see. If we were to exist differently–to not chase pleasure and avoid pain but exist in order to be similar to nature, to be partners with it–this is the reality we would share. The additional sense we acquire in order to perceive the global unifying force of bestowal that connects everything into one is called the soul.
On this level, in this world, we have to act according to certain laws: don’t jump from high places or you’ll die, get checkups at the doctor, etc. If there are aggressors, then it needs to be dealt with in the framework of this world. This isn’t something Kabbalah engages in, this is just basic existential criteria.
Hope that helps,
Chris
hi i was wondering since i heard there were daily lessons with michael laitman, where do you access those? i don’t think the kabbalah.tv site works anymore, and i can’t find it in the members section of the kabu site.
