| There is another side to this question. Men also come for consultations or even for long-term therapy. And precisely the ones who fit the above-described criteria – they are attractive, smart, rich, well known and powerful – complain that in order for them to be able to provide such a lifestyle, they are under constant pressure. They work 12-14 hour days. They never see their families. They are always in cut-throat competition. Just to be able to handle it all, they find they have to consume alcohol, drugs or some other powerful stimulants or antidepressants and they often do this on a regular basis. As a rule, these men come and tell me that they have no choice: they can’t leave their high standard of living and at the same time, they understand that the tranquilizers they are taking and the alcohol they are drinking is driving them toward their own graves. The same topic that is perplexing my colleagues and I comes up. What do we say? How can a person come out of this dead-end situation? M. Laitman: Anatoly, I would open up courses for them too. There is no other way – we are speaking of education here. Our society is in dire need of a correct education (there’s no other way) and these men must also be educated. Poor guys – they grabbed on to something big and it pushed them into such a lifestyle that they have no choice but to always be running. So, they run and run and can’t come off this band on which they are running. It forces them to run at its rhythm; otherwise, they will fall and break everything. Where to, what it’s all for – we don’t know. I agree, it’s all mentally exhausting. You can only change this situation slowly by gradually explaining to them that a person will never be fulfilled this way. Our fulfillment depends on something completely different. It depends on how much a person connects with others; the more interdependent he becomes on others, the more they can understand each other. The more he connects, the more internal warmth he will feel from his family, his children, his wife or his partner. A person cannot get fulfillment from adding another zero to his bank account balance; this is just an illusion. As soon as he adds another zero, he will get a desire for another zero. It’s like a moving walkway on which he can never stop running. These people are in a real crisis and this is just the beginning. It will continue for many years and will not end but it will transform into a different crisis. The financial crisis is now turning into an economic crisis; entire companies will halt their operations. This entire standard of living will gradually decline and disappointments will grow. Then it will turn into hunger (relative). Then it will turn into all sorts of environmental problems and so on and so forth. In other words, everything will start pushing on a person alongside his attempts to preserve his standard of living or his sense of security for tomorrow. We will still come to a point where he will be completely unsure of what will happen the next second. People will have more and more problems. We have to show them who they truly are instead of them always trying to change themselves. And this they won’t be able to do either. You can’t fight nature, so to speak. This is why we must understand where it is that we can find fulfillment, happiness, satisfaction and stop going along with society’s current which imposes completely frail objectives which I am forced to somehow achieve…poor me. In my view, a well-thought-out course based on simple explanations rather than systemic study would be very successful. This course would focus on physiology, human psychology, a person’s perception of the surrounding world, how it’s fulfilled and in which cases it is not fulfilled and why we can never be fulfilled egoistically. http://www.kabbalah.info/engkab/mystzohar.htm http://www.kabbalah.info/engkab/mystzohar.htm |
