How can we save the world if we don't know why we exist?
In his latest article - Life - Whose Is It? - Rav Michael Laitman, PhD describes the need for planet-wide cooperation, but moreover, discusses the need for knowing why we need planet-wide cooperation.
As Rav Laitman writes in the article: "To save our own lives, and the lives of our children, we need to cooperate. However, we will not want to cooperate unless we know what for."
The article traces the roots of the "oneness" concept, back in the wisdom of Kabbalah 5,000 years ago, and how today is the time we need to realize our oneness. Moreover, Rav Laitman explains how in order to experience our oneness, we need to understand the meaning of our lives, which he states as the "need to achieve such a sensation of the universe that there will be no difference between life and death, and existence as physical entities or spiritual entities. If we could freely live in all dimensions, earthly and spiritual, and not just in our present perception, we would know that we truly are eternal."
The purpose of Kabbalah studies is the same as the above-stated meaning of our lives, and whether it is achieved consciously through the Kabbalah method or unconsiously through natural development, we will all reach it.

Saving our planet has become a key issue on our global agenda. But to avoid further destruction of Earth, we must answer a much deeper question: What is life for?
