Every trip ends with the desire to return home. Every pleasure fades after we have attained it. Is there a way to expand the boundaries of adventure, to break through the limits of enjoyment?
We are built in such a way that we cannot feel flavor without hunger. For instance, we can enjoy going out as long as we have a prior appetite to do so. Also, we can enter a never-ending pleasant sensation via inner journeys where we feel constant renewal, where the more we enjoy, the more we will want to enjoy. By doing so, we will not tire, and we will not become dulled or bored, and every time we attain something along the way, it will develop into something else. New flavors will come with new appetite, and thus they will continue and increase.
We can develop such an ability to feel a good life wherever we are, in every action we perform, and in all situations that emerge, even if they are difficult. We can come to know why everything happens to us, and where event in our lives stems from, as well as what we need to do, and what outcome we need to reach. We will feel good in all these stages because we are connected to an eternal and perfect higher reality.
This is a spiritual adventure, which constantly expands our senses and mind. When we are engaged in such a process, we feel a deeper reality, understanding the reasons for everything. If, for example, we see a certain landscape, like mountains, hills, sea, desert, or plants, or animals or people, we see them in their full depth. We understand what drives them, what they want, why they act as they do, what can help them, and what might endanger them. Moreover, when we look at the picture in such a way, we understand what will happen in the next moment, and what is worthwhile to do in order to adapt ourselves to the flow.
Beyond that, we feel the general force of nature that drives all parts of reality. We discover where it is advancing our development, according to what program, how each part integrates with the others, how they move and connect, and where they are being led. This vision gives us the feeling of a full life. Then, life becomes like a great play, rich, diverse, and deep, in which the thought of nature is fulfilled before our very eyes.
We enter into the internality of nature, viewing how the force of nature comes from within and enlivens everything, and how it manages its still, vegetative, animate, and human levels. Then, we perceive how everything in nature lives from the same single force, one management program, and how everyone and everything is harmoniously interconnected. There is no greater pleasure than this discovery, where everything joins into a kind of wondrously divine symphony, into one.
In order to start feeling nature in such a way, we need to add an inner ability in intellect and emotion, i.e., to develop sensitivity to the subtle frequencies that exist in nature, those that do not enter into the superficial perception we have now.
The laboratory where we develop such an ability of reception is a small group framework of about ten people, guided by experts in the wisdom of Kabbalah. This method teaches how to optimally perceive and receive the whole picture of nature. By learning the wisdom of Kabbalah in this small group setting, we can discover the roots of what happens with us and in general, the causes and consequences of everything in life.
In broad terms, Kabbalistic guidance directs us on how to exit our narrow perception and enter the feeling of others. The more we who participate in this method enter into a mutual sensation, including ourselves in one another, the more we begin to acquire qualities that are initially not in human nature. The main condition for entering into natureโs depths is love for others. We develop a desire to exit with our heart and mind outside of our body, so to speak, to feel others and to aspire to fulfill them with everything that is good. When we succeed in rising to a level of love, then we begin our journey into natureโs depths.
Today, humanity is reaching an evolutionary stage where nothing familiar can fulfill us with inner satisfaction, granting us lasting happiness. At the same time, the world is becoming increasingly interconnected, and in every area of life, we experience crises that cannot be solved with our already-outdated perception. Therefore, from inside and outside, pressures accumulate that will urge us to burst into a new reality.
Indeed, before us is a special adventure. According to how much we invest in this adventure, so will we be able to feel an enjoyment far more supreme and complete than what we currently feel.

Every couple has had moments of grace, intoxicating infatuation, the feeling that โthis is the person I want to live with until the end of my life,โ but then it fades. Why did we receive such feelings? Why did they go? Is it possible to make those feelings stay forever?
Animals have the whole gamut of hormones, instincts, mating and reproduction seasons worked out for them by nature. Only we humans find ourselves confused in our relationships. We struggle to choose a partner, then struggle to live with them, and we live in a constant struggle.
Love studies are the profession of the future. In a world with so many divorces, betrayals, thoughts of breaking up, and where so many couples stay together only out of necessity, in days when relationships have become very complicated, there is an urgent need to teach love. If we know how to build love, it will make us healthy in every way, save us much stress and anxiety, and it will also positively influence children, the entire next generation we are raising. We will discover that nothing is missing, everything aligns, and that love brings light into every aspect of our lives, at home, work, and throughout society.
Building love requires conscious mutual work that combines mind and emotion. It runs in contrast to the feeling of infatuation, which is given to us as a gift so that we understand the level of emotional intensity we can reach, but which also makes us lose our heads a little. The spontaneous feeling of infatuation quickly fades away in order to let us build bonds of love ourselves.
First of all, we should agree between us that we want to develop love, to give birth to it, and not wait for it to fall on us from some unknown source. We want to build our love, to hold on to it no matter what, so that it provides us with support, a good feeling, and warmth throughout our life. For that, we will have to learn how to share with our partner, our inspirations, our excitements, to measure them, talk about them, convey them to each other clearly, until we can increase our love more and more, despite the routine that threatens to dull all flavor.
The internal factor we fight against in the process of building love is the ego that dwells within each of us. The ego is our selfish nature, as it is written "the inclination of the human heart that is evil from youth." In our times, the ego has grown to such proportions that it has become unclear what to do with it, as it constantly manipulates and confuses us. We need to know how to navigate it, how to manage it instead of letting it manage us. If we approach this task together, then we will become a mature "research couple."
We build romantic love when we each rise above our ego, "give it up" so to speak, in order to connect with the other. Then, love becomes the common emotion we feel between us as a result of mutual concessions and mutual consideration. To the extent that we give ourselves up, clear space within ourselves into which the other can enter, give up our demands, the criticism that comes from the need to feel our superiority, that we do not approach our partner with complaints but only with smiles, then this space where we conceded our ego fills up with love. Mutual love is created when we have a space in each other's hearts, and we feel each other mutually in each other's hearts.
In the process of building love, we can distinguish between three different zones that exist in our relationship. The first zone will include the love we have already built. The second zone will include everything we wish to work on now, i.e., to make mutual concessions in order to build love. The third zone will include everything we are currently unable to connect over or to concede, which is what we will not touch for now. Gradually, we will strive to transfer more and more parts of our relationship into the zone of love. Along the way, we will need to help each other and provide positive examples. We will each show the other how much we are willing to concede for them, so that we can build love between us.
After we have described the process in broad strokes, we should return to the starting point and suggest some practical exercises. Even if we do not feel it yet, it is highly recommended to start treating our partner from now on as the most special person in the world: the most beautiful, wise, and important. To begin realizing this, we should imagine our perfect partner in every way, creating a rich internal image of them with all the details and features. We should then take the feeling of appreciation we have toward that perfect figure we constructed in our imagination and transfer it to our partner. Start treating them as if they were truly perfect. Elevate them to the status of king or queen.
Doing so requires letting go of the picture we now actually see before our eyes, a picture far from perfect and full of problems, and accept our partner as if they were ideal. We must say this to them in words, describing it in as much detail as possible, without holding back. After a period of such mutual exercises, we will discover that our lives begin to change for the better, that we truly see our partner in a new light, and they reciprocate similarly. Love enters in the common space where we both worked to treat each other this way.
Even though this exercise sounds clear in theory, it becomes difficult in practice. For example, if we are about to arrive home and we know that we will end up getting annoyed with our partner, as usual, then what do we do?
Even in that case, we must relate not to the reality we see, but as if everything were perfectly tidy. Without doing so, love will never come. Love will come to us only if we show each other how we accept and want one another despite all the negativity and problems that arise. We wish to love our partner as they are, the way their mother loved them, giving the same warm and embracing feeling.
So, before we enter the house, we should say to ourselves: โMy partner is perfect. I love them,โ similar to how we once felt toward them, when we were head over heels in love. Back then we did not care if the house was messy. Of utmost importance was that we were together. Therefore, before entering the house, we should think about how someone who is our source of life is waiting for us. It is the person who understands us the most, cares for us, and can always help us.
To make it easier to prepare, we can take a sheet of paper and write about our problem, processing it in the direction of its solution. For example:

Love gives us fulfillment that is far greater than anything else, as if it is from a perfectly tidy house. When we walk into a tidy house and enjoy it, for instance, the enjoyment fades after a few minutes. That is how it is with anything that gives us personal pleasure. After some time, the feeling fades away, and this goes for any new shiny material item, whether it be a new house, car, clothes, and so on. Only love is tied to eternity, and only it can give us a sense of fulfillment and pleasure on completely different levels. The pleasure from love is the only one that can continually grow, precisely because of the resistances that will constantly arise against it. The ego will stir up distance, rejection, criticism, and hatred between us again and again, and we will continually see several flaws in our partner, and again and again we will have to concede in order to rise up to love.
Concession adds flavors to love. It gives love validity and existence. Without it, we would not feel love. That is why life sends us new frictions and opportunities for concessions. Nothing falls on us by chance. Life is a training ground for self-correction and the development of love. If we achieve a loving attitude toward others, then such a direction becomes unlimited. We will stop suffering. We will become completely fulfilled, and we will feel elevation beyond all boundaries of reality. A new and good world will open up before us. It does not matter who is the person standing opposite us, because the inner work is done toward ourselves. โLove your neighbor as yourselfโ is the ultimate formula for the correct perception of reality. Partners, friends, acquaintances, coworkers are all merely tools for correcting our own attitude toward the whole of reality.

Only one factor determines our good future: the connection of people between themselves. Nature requires nothing else from us.
The fact is that we are locked in a certain system and we must bring it to balance. The closer we get to it, the more comfortable and balanced we will feel. Each of us should be interested in bringing this system to reciprocity.
We need to understand that we have no right to destroy each other because this we can disrupt the system so much that we will have to go back to the last degree and repeat the same thing again. There is nothing more problematic for us than mutual destructions, wars, and so on.
Therefore, the only factor that determines our good future is reaching the correct connection between us.
Of course, many auxiliary factors are added to it such as education, upbringing, creation of what we call tensโsmall groups in which we can relatively quickly realize the connection between people into a correct system.
There is only one goal: to unite into one system, to mutually complement each other, where the network of connections between us becomes more important to us than ourselves.

What particular part of me will perceive the new reality?
This part doesnโt yet exist in you. It has to be created.
Today, the picture of this world and everything that surrounds us reflects our desire to receive. It is an everlasting aspiration to enjoy what is originally built in each of us. There is nothing but this aspiration! We strive to enjoy everything our will to receive is able to feel.
In our five bodily sensors, we perceive the entire materiality: the universe, the Earth, family, friends, colleagues, etc.
Besides, we are capable of creating something new, that is, five additional organs of perception acting not in the receiving force, not in the desire to receive pleasure, but in the desire to give pleasure, to love, to bestow, to care for others.
If we obtain the new desire and start developing it, then suddenly weโll see that it, like the material desires, is based on our five senses. However, all of them are directed externally to love and bestow, whereas, our current senses are directed internally.
The point here is that our new externally-oriented feelings are not reciprocally connected with us. The bestowing vector, the external-oriented efforts allow us to feel and reveal the upper, spiritual world. It is called โthe soul.โ
We perceive the material, bodily life in our five egoistic senses, whereas, in our aspiration to bestow and love we recognize the spiritual existence.

In a society where consumerist and materialistic values envelop us, then we commonly feel envy as bad because it places us in a negative competition against each other. That is, due to envy, we feel worse about ourselves, because it makes us feel weaker, smaller, slower, and generally worse off than others. Likewise, envy can lead to us becoming ready to trample on others in order to make ourselves appear bigger, stronger, faster and generally better than them.
We feel envy as a blow to our very selvesโour egos. We are made of egoistic desires to enjoy, and envy makes us feel that others enjoy more than we do, or enjoy in places where we feel no enjoyment. It thus makes us feel deprived of enjoyments that other people receive, and their surplus enjoymentโwhether it be better health, more successful relationships, more wealth, respect, fame, power or knowledgeโseemingly elevates them over us.
Rabash used to say that he would love to wear his pajamas everywhere he went, because pajamas were his most comfortable clothes. Why, then, didnโt he? It was because it would have been considered inappropriate according to a social dress code that dictated a certain standard of dress. By wearing pajamas in public, especially as a rabbi, he would become the subject of gossip and humiliation. Therefore, in order to fit into society and avoid gossip and humiliation, he would wear socially-acceptable clothing out in public, even though it was far less comfortable than the pajamas. The fear of not being the subject of gossip and humiliation in society thus directs much of our social life.
However, envy is not a bad quality in and of itself. Whether envy is negative or positive depends on what society values. We commonly feel envy as bad because we value egoistic qualities in society, i.e., we look up to โthe bigger, the stronger, the faster and the betterโ in societyโpeople who can outcompete their way to a certain level of materialistic success. If we instead appreciated positive social connection as a leading value, where the more united, altruistic, kind and caring a society is, then its members would be happier, safer and more confidentโlikewise envy would also invert and become a positive quality.
In other words, if there were a pro-social atmosphere enveloping society, with people primarily respecting and valuing contributions that strengthen social solidarity and unification, then we would envy people who appear more altruistic, caring, kind and loving. Since we would value connection, then we would see no point in bringing down these people, as it would oppose the values circulating through society. Rather, envy would make us want to change ourselves in order to become more altruistic, caring, kind and loving as we perceive others.
Envy would thus not only become positive, but it would become a key factor in transforming ourselves for the better in order to improve human society. Instead of envy leading to all kinds of manipulation, exploitation and abuse, as it does in our current materialistic world, envy in a society that values pro-social qualities would lead to our becoming more supportive, encouraging and caring of each other. It would create an atmosphere of healthy competition, serving to motivate and inspire societyโs members to realize themselves by benefiting others and society. Such a society would then be on course to new levels of happiness and well-being.
Envy thus is not bad in and of itself. Whether it is bad or good depends on the values permeating our society. If we learn to shift our values from egoistic, individualistic and materialistic ones to altruistic and pro-social ones, then our envy would serve to expand the latter traits throughout society, which would in turn make us happier, healthier, safer and more confident people.

Today, I look at people, and I see a world flooded with expression. Everyone is constantly in conversations and sharing content and impressions on social media. The information is endless, and yet, the more we talk, the more we discover the same inner void. Our entire existence today emphasizes the meaninglessness of the ways in which we currently live our lives.
Such a feeling is not feeling. We have filled our lives with an endless stream of tiny pleasure shots to constantly distract us from a bigger existential void. That is why many people sink into apathy, not wanting to move when they wake up, with no goal, flavor, or meaning to inspire them.
Yet, precisely this time is the one where something greater must emerge. Now is the time to realize that our life, as it is, has no meaning. It is a necessary realization, because only when emptiness engulfs our sensation can we begin to ask sincerely: "Where is there any meaning?"
Initially, the answer is that there is none. That is, there is no meaning in the usual places we look. It is neither in careers, entertainment, or in personal achievements. The meaning of life is not hidden inside our egoistic world. It is rather above our world.
If we want to feel alive, to wake up in the morning with a feeling that something ignites us from within, then we need to seek what governs this reality we are in. There is nature, which is vast, immense, and intelligent, and there is a thought behind it, a design and intention.
This thought is the governing force that sets nature in motion, and which sustains life at every level: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human. The meaning of life is in discovering that thought, understanding the intention that is behind everything we experience.
This is not a call to become scientists in the usual sense. We do not need formulas and theories, but we need to open our inner eyes. To sense the reason behind it all. Why was this reality created? What is it moving toward? What is nature trying to tell us?
Nature is pushing us to rise above our world, because this world, as it is now, is the lowest of all possible worlds. To rise above this world means to connect to the intention that created it. To discover the plan, the thought, and the harmonious force that binds everyone and everything.
When we begin to attain that thought, something incredible happens. We begin to feel reality beyond time and space. We start to live at the level of life's source, similar to how nature itself operates.
What is that thought at its essence? It is one of absolute harmony among all parts of creation. That is what we lack, and it is what nature is leading us to, whether we want it or not.
And as destructive as we become, we cannot completely destroy ourselves. Nature will not let us forgo what it has in store for us. Sooner or later, we will have to wake up to our inner calling and attain the harmony it has planned for us to attain. That is the meaning of life. It is what we are here for.

The meaning of life is to change our nature from reception to bestowal, from hatred to love, from rejection to a positive connection with others. Then, through such qualities, we will feel a completely different kind of existence, an opposite world.
We will then find fulfillment through fulfilling others. By doing so, we will eliminate feelings of disappointment, replacing them with a newfound happiness, harmony, and peace that emerges from our harmonious connection to each other.
Moreover, by undergoing such a transformation, we will attract the positive force dwelling in nature, which will enable the newfound happiness, harmony, and peace to spread among us.

From generation to generation egoism evolves and aggressiveness increases. A person doesnโt understand why others exist at all. If I donโt receive satisfaction somewhere, I cannot wait and violence erupts. If once there was shame in being violent and powerful, today this is a norm; there is no shame about anything. A person cannot hear criticism, doesnโt agree with it, and immediately erupts with violence.
We donโt know how to build a proper system of relationships with the environment so that we enjoy each interacting.
Violence is a result of the lack of social education; it should begin from infancy and continue throughout life. Today, education is not carrying out a treatment of the root of the human ego. Instead it just tries to limit outbreaks. Adults require children to behave nicely, but behave violently themselves.
We need to do some soul-searching. Our society is sick, dominated by interests that donโt want correction. The internal cancer that is eating us is human egoism. We need to discover it and begin treatment.
Internal change comes from the study of human nature and developing the ability to use the ego correctly in relationships with others. Society will improve only when the individuals that compose it, the people, will change for the better.
The study is carried out in a circle, in a group, through building a good environment and correct communication between people.
Today someone with violent behavior is blamed, but the truth is that those who educated him should be blamed.
Correction is not through overcoming the violent impulses that are in me, but to reach a state where they are not aroused. It is not fear of punishment that is required to suppress violence; rather, it is the development of an attitude of love for others.
The correction of our situation depends on using the wisdom of connection that is being revealed today to move us forward.

This force exists in nature. It stems from the same source that the first spark once broke out from and from which the universe developed. This is the force of unity because all of creation stems from one spark.
As a result of this spark infinite universes and galaxies were created, but that doesnโt matter. If we connect as one man like the source the universe was created from, then it invokes this unique force in us. It is in nature and sustains nature.
Letโs try it and you will see what confidence it gives each one, what a feeling of a new life, of peace. It can even heal us and correct our connections. Letโs use this force of connection which exists only in the unity among us.
The more we manage to connect and the more deeply we annul our ego, the more we will discover the force of connection and with it we will be able to perform miracles. It will affect all our problems and heal all the illnesses. Letโs pull it out of nature and learn how to use it practically, creatively, just like we use nuclear energy, which we didnโt know about before.
This force is in nature; it can be called the Creator because the universe begins from it, but it doesnโt matter what we call it. It is in nature and we can use it like all the other forces. We call all of humanity to do so, because this force is the solution to all our problems.
This force is the source from which two forces later emerge: plus and minus. But the source itself is one, and if all the opposite forces are balanced inside it, it can solve any problem since it integrates these two opposites inside.
By using it we can fix everything. One may want money, another health, another respect, and another peace at home and with the children. So letโs be cured of all the illnesses and all the evil.
If you wish, letโs start, if not, then you donโt have to, but you should know that we have a universal means. We only need to invoke this force and receive from it like from a power plant, but in order to do so, we have to connect since it is revealed only when we connect.
If you are connected and this force is revealed among you, start working together and you will succeed in everything that you want! After all, you will have the source of the force, like a container of fuel that can be used as you wish: you can use it to make plastic and you can burn it for fuel.
You can use this potential force anyway you want, as long as it is not to hurt anyone! This is the force of connection and if you want to abuse it, it will disappear immediately. We must use it only for connection, only for the good.

This is the official YouTube channel of the Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Education & Research Instituteโan educational organization teaching the wisdom of Kabbalah worldwide.
Bnei Baruch was founded in 1991 by Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman, after the passing of his teacher, Kabbalist Baruch Shalom HaLevi Ashlag (The Rabash), in Israel, and has since spread internationally with local study centers in dozens of countries and languages, and online learning environments with numerous courses, daily-updated content and thriving student communities. In English, the online learning environment is KabU, originally established in 2006.
Kabbalists have pointed to our era as the time when the desire for spirituality would become felt by more and more people, and that the wisdom of Kabbalah would become needed at that time on a mass scale.
