Curious: Are there any female instructors at KabU?

[Shel]

My role is to discover and fix imperfections in myself and my own life, by having the right mental attitude, and asking the Creator to change me. To truly love my neighbor as myself.

[Shel]

Once a person passes the barrier, is it possible for them to fall back to earlier states?

[Shel]

To see that the Creator is only good and that everything that happens is for good. Like a parent telling a child they can’t do something that will hurt them. Seeing through the eyes of the child, the parent is “mean.” Seeing through the eyes of the parent, they are doing good for their child’s welfare and development.

Thank you for your answer.

I am still unclear as to why Rav Laitman would say that he has no optimism for humanity.

This in specific is really bothering me.

Is this really his view?

It goes against everything we’ve been taught (thus far at least.)

Reading that after watching the last few videos is a very.. jarring difference.

Using your example of the doctor diagnosing his patient with cancer:

Imagine if a doctor told a patient: “I am not optimistic for your recovery” VS telling the patient: “If you do the following actions, you could recover.”

If he tells the patient they can recover with certain behavior changes, they are MUCH more likely to attempt those behavior changes, compared to being told there is no hope. In which case they are much more likely to put their affairs in order, and just live it up until they die.

If there is no hope, why bother trying to change things?

(Re-asking the same question, as it may have been overlooked.)
