interesting piece on how things work

Michael Laitman says:

No matter how you put it, all the systems, and the systems of the East in particular, are based on destroying the desire to receive, on destroying the ego.

Sounds like someone needs to hear about liberation through expansion

Our forums are teaching forums made for
questions regarding the lessons and the texts. When people do not use
them for that manner but wish to just offer their opinions on a wide
range of topics, they are most certainly sensored. This is an
educational facility, not a discussion forum. We do give a vast amount
of leeway to new or prospective students like I am doing with you right
now, as your question has nothing to do with texts or lessons. Later as
the course progresses, we expect students to obey the rules no less
than like any other educational system. 

One does not go into a Physics course and start posing questions
regarding English Lit, right? What's more, when a person comes on the
forum and begins posting not only about foreign subjects, but also
things that damage others such as cutting someone else's religion, you
bet....we delete their posts. If they continue to do it over and over
again, we ban them from the educational forum. Let me repeat, our
forums are for students with questions regarding the classes and
materials from the site, not discussion or opinion forums. 

As far as the beginning of your post, nothing could be further from the
truth. Our organization is quite transparent. We have literally
hundreds of thousands of students world wide that study with us. You
see 3 or four disgruntaled people because they did not hear what they
want to hear but instead heard only Kabbalah and they complain. As far
as one person leading the organization, again, nothing could be further
from the truth. Bnei Baruch has boards, sub boards and committees set
up world wide by language that provide the leadership. If you truly
have a concern about this, either you must find out for yourself, or
seek someplace else to study. 

One last note. I answered Rick Ross's questions on his forum, but when
he did not like my answers that were directly related to his questions,
I was banned from his forum. Rick is an attorney and gets his jollies
from trying to use those skills almost like a courtrooom setting. In
other words, the very organization you speak about did precisely to me
what you are concerned about. I would suggest more investigation from
other venues if you want a more accurate picture. 

Best Wishes

• Tsunami disaster. 400,000 people killed. everyone would say: 'it was horrible' ... forest fire: 'bad for trees' ..but: thicker growth, diverse. If you see the larger arc of development, then it is not so bad! It is simply impossible to make sense of human life at the level of human life
• my intention of receiving light - creators intention of giving ... if great then discomfort

QUESTIONS

can you always inquire "who is having this sensation of the creator?"

disease --- dis-ease is all due to difference in intention? how do you heal people with Kabbalah? is meat-eating a good thing? i cant help but notice the word "kadusha" sounds like caduceus

• definition of kabbalah - enables man to feel and know an upper reality

QUESTIONS

sex - animal versus sacred sexuality/tantra? am I not produced from sperm and egg? isn't sex the eternal creator?

- buddhists pay bare attention to the senses and mind in order to develop lovnig-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity... hence the creature gets free of his senses and increases his will to bestow. Is Buddhism therefore kabbalistic and leads to the same realizations?

- how does one free oneself of emotional, sexual abuse, etc?
