An interview with Rav Michael Laitman, PhD
by Tal Asher, PhD
Asher: We can say that the technological progress during the last few centuries was a great stimulus for human egoism to develop…
Laitman: Just the opposite! Egoism is the cause that stimulates everything else. It grows literally exponentially. This is why we see that great changes happened throughout millennia, then centuries, and in our times great changes are happening every year. That is, egoism is beginning to increase so steeply that people today already change their professions in two or three years. A person has to constantly study. Great changes are happening in everything. We are still not accustomed to this, but life is already moving according to what is inside us. That is, our mind and perception are slightly lagging behind what is there, what nature brings forth in us and outside of us. We are between these two influences, the inner and outer natural influences, and we feel uncomfortable.
Asher: Would it be correct to say that this exponential growth of egoism is exactly the reason why Kabbalah has become so popular?
Laitman: Yes. The Book of Zohar, which was written two thousand years ago, states that Kabbalah will be revealed to people toward the end of the twentieth century. It has been hiding from people for twenty centuries. more
