Blessings and Curses - Spiritual States with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman

Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman and Michael Sanilevich discuss blessings and curses in this episode of Spiritual States. What states should we consider as “blessings” or “curses?” What do “blessings or curses” have to do with our relation to the Creator and to the interconnected system of creation? What do people who started researching spiritual reality feel about the world? What is a “blessing” for a person who embarked on the spiritual path? What is our role and action in relation to the myriad of influences we receive through the world and the environment in which we exist? Why should we say blessings before and after meals, for example? How can we elevate actions like “eating” from the animal to the human level? Why is the revelation of the Creator not automatically a blessing? What is the best “blessing” for another? Is praying for a better state for others always a blessing? How can we make sure that when we ask for others, it is a “blessing” rather than a “curse?” Why do we influence each other in a negative way in this world? What should we learn about the world that could help us improve our actions towards others? How can I make sure that others think and feel good about me? How can I make sure that others do not curse me? Do ancient curses work? Are there words that can actually harm people when said in curses? How can we protect ourselves from actual “curses?” What gives force and power to these curses? Can winning a lot of money become a curse? What do we actually need in this life in terms of wealth and money? What is the best blessing we can say for others? Can the Creator influence us directly?
