In other words, in the correction process, we\u2019re always one step behind our own desires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a deliberate process. It isn\u2019t that our desires grow. They only appear one by one, from lighter to heavier. When I finish correcting one desire, the next desire in line appears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember the&nbsp;<em>Reshimot<\/em>? They form the desire-sequence that leads up the spiritual ladder. This is why Jack, who corrected his previous desire, is greater than James, who hasn\u2019t corrected this level of desire. But Jack\u2019s desire is greater than Jack himself because it is leading him to the next degree. More on that in just a bit.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Desires Running Rampant<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve already said that desires grow from generation to generation. Our generation has the worst and strongest desire in the history of humankind. Kabbalists graphically demonstrate what they think of this generation with the words, \u201cThe face of the generation is as the face of a dog.\u201d Desire is running rampant to the point that people simply cannot find satisfaction anywhere\u2014hence the soaring depression and violence rates in today\u2019s society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But people in this generation aren\u2019t merely greedier than their parents were. Today, for the first time, there is a desire to know how things really work, to control Creation\u2014to equalize with the Creator! This is a desire of millions of people, too, not just of a select few. More people are not settling for the answers provided by traditional means. They want to find out for themselves, and find out for certain. Taking someone else\u2019s word for it just doesn\u2019t do it for them any longer. These people need a method to reveal the overall design, and that method is Kabbalah.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technology Broke Its Promise<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as we are not using the method that can satisfy our deepest desire, to know the designer of the world and to learn from Him why He did it and how, we will not be happy. But as we\u2019ve said before, the more we want, the more we develop our brains to provide us what we want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology isn\u2019t going to stop just because we have a new desire. But as long as our technology is not accompanied by the study of the Upper Worlds, it will only make us feel worse. There isn\u2019t anything wrong with technology itself. It\u2019s just that it has become imbued with hopes that don\u2019t belong there. We think it can make us happier by making our lives faster, easier, more exciting. But all it can really do is show us more easily and more quickly that we are empty inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For knowledge to make us happy, it needs to be used for spiritual purposes. When we do that, what we know will open up new sides of itself that will make us see our world in a light we never dreamed existed.&nbsp;<em>The Upper World isn\u2019t a different place; it\u2019s a different perspective<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a rule in Kabbalah: \u201cHe who is greater than his friend, his desire is greater than him.\u201d It [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":13695,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[27],"class_list":["post-13706","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-michael-laitman"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 -
