Was I Here Already?
Question: Why does Rabash reiterate the
same points in his articles so frequently, as if walking around in circles?
Dr.
Laitman's Answer: He never
reiterates or repeats himself. The same words sound from different states, different
levels of Aviut (coarseness of desire). He repeats the sentence at
another, deeper level. After completing the first "circle" and
discerning whatever was said for yourself, you move a degree deeper and then
start the analysis seemingly from the same sentence, but closer to the truth,
to the root.
We undergo
the four stages of development, reach the speaking (human) degree, and on it go
through the four stages again until we reach the degree of "human within
human." All of it comes from Above, from the Direct Light (Ohr Yashar).
And only the last degree, the fourth within the fourth, can respond with the
Reflected Light (Ohr Hozer). It itself does not realize what it is
responding to because on the way back, the development it goes through remains
unclear yet again, until it reaches the root.
Only at the
end do we understand the beginning and the entire path. We exist in an integral
system and until a person clarifies all
the details, all the interconnections between the souls, and all the ways that
affect them, he is constantly forced to balance himself. For this reason, one
is constantly subject to changes.
The
understanding comes only at the end of correction when the entire system
becomes balanced for you. It is said about it: "Everyone will know Me,
from the smallest to the greatest."

We Ruin Our Own Lives
In the Upper
World there is only love and unity, but by the time it reaches our world it
flips over because our world is opposite to the spiritual one. Absolute love descends to us
from above, from the Creator, but here with our eyes, we see the worst of all
worlds! Holy actions of bestowal in the upper world influence our egoistic
desire here in this world, evoking opposite reactions in it. But the forces
themselves were wonderful!
It's as if I
came to you with love and gifts from the bottom of my heart wishing to share
all of my treasure with you, but seeing how I love you, you are happy because
you can use this and suck everything I have out of me. You think, "How
wonderful it is that he's so kind because now I can rob him to the bone and
destroy him."
Love and a
kind attitude come from me, but you perceive it and use it in the completely
opposite way. That's how the Creator gives us all of the opportunities and the
goodness, but we use His good attitude by turning on our egoism. We activate it
full force and do everything the opposite way!
The Creator
is good, perfect, and unchanging. This is the only force that governs the whole
universe. But inside of us, this good becomes revealed through actions and the
form in which we are able to perceive His goodness. That is why in our world we
see people killing each other and that we live in a world that cannot get any
worse!
However, if
I change my vision, then I will see the perfect world of Infinity, the upper
Light filling the entire universe, the holy Shechina. But in reality,
nothing has changed. I simply bought new glasses.
