VIDEO: Kabbalah - Five Basic Principles !!! (06:52)
In this video, Rav Michael Laitman, PhD expands upon the following five points related to the Kabbalah method:
1. There is an Upper Force. We all live in it, and we are all the egoistic parts situated opposite it.
2. The Upper Force develops us by increasing our egoism. Our egoism is increased to a stage where we become conscious of how destructive it is, and that we want to exit it.
3. We are one soul. This soul was shattered into millions of parts that don't feel the existence of the one interconnected body. The correction of this shattering is the purpose of why we were created - to reconnect back into one soul in relation to its Creator, the Upper Force.
4. The destructive ego in our times. In our times, the destructive nature of our egoism becomes more evident, and two paths open up: to use it the same way we've always used it (for our own sake), or to use it to connect back together as one soul.
5. Freedom of choice. Our freedom of choice lies between choosing our future evolution
(i) within our egoistic nature, through suffering, or(ii) above our egoistic nature, through the conscious attainment of the Upper Force.
