Your world is ready for change. Make it happen, with guidance from one of the greatest Kabbalists of our generation.Rav Michael Laitman, PhD, sees Kabbalah as a science that deals with drawing near to the Creator. It studies the system of creation, examines how the Creator conducts this system, and how creation can rise to the level of the Creator. It is a method of reaching spiritual fulfillment. Through the study of Kabbalah, you too can learn to direct your heart--and consequently your life--toward success, tranquility, peace, and happiness.In this distinctive, personal, and awe-filled introduction to an ancient wisdom tradition, Rav Laitman--a disciple of the great Kabbalist Rabbi Baruch Ashlag (son of Yehuda Ashlag)--provides you with a deeper understanding of the fundamental teachings of Kabbalah, and how you can use this wisdom to clarify your relationship with others and the world around you. Using language both scientific and poetic, he probes the most profound questio...

A subtle, yet profound idea weaves the book’s chapters into a coherent and concrete whole.The first three chapters in Kabbalah Revealed tell us why the present world is in a state of crisis, explaining how our growing desires promote progress as well as alienation, and why the biggest deterrent to achieving positive change is rooted in our own spirits.Chapters Four through Six offer a prescription for positive change. Therein, we learn how we can use our spirits to build a personally peaceful life in harmony with all of Creation.For the first time ever, the timeless principles of Kabbalah are explained f...

For many centuries, the wisdom of Kabbalah was inaccessible to anyone who could not read Hebrew. Now, for the first time in the history of the Western World, readers of the English language and serious students of Kabbalah have the opportunity to learn the Wisdom of Kabbalah from the 20th Century's greatest Kabbalist, Baal HaSulam. In this text,* the student will find a systematic, graduated exposition of Kabbalah unlike any treatment found in other available texts. This text comes with a brilliant commentary by Michael Laitman, a scientist and Kabbalist who received the Tradition from that illustrious chain that includes the Ari, Baal HaSulam, and his teacher, Rabash ......

În mai 1997 treceam prima data Nistrul, mergând în vizita la Odesa. Eram curios Õi atent la vorbirea basarabenilor, în trenul care ma purta de la ChiÕinau, iar în jurnal îmi notam expresii tipice, din partea locului. Lilia îmi traducea din rusa - când era cazul. Mai târziu, în vara anului 2000, aveam sa cunosc Tighina Õi câteva localitaÛi din jurul Corotnei. Domnul Pavel m-a plimbat cu maÕina prin Nezavertailovka, Krasnoe, oraÕelul Dnestrovsk, Õi centrul raional Slobozia. Am târguit în Tiraspol, unde Andreica - fratele Liliei - era student la Facultatea de Geografie, în grupa moldoveneasca. Corotna este un sat moldovenesc, înconjurat de aÕezari ucraineÕti Õi ruseÕti, iar Turunciucul, un braÛ al Nistrului, trece pe la marginea satului. Oamenii locului pastreaza dulcea limba româneasca Õi aici, în Transnistria. Am selectat Õi prelucrat o parte dintre aceste poezii melancolice, de jale, de parasire, bucolice de la Svetlana Garabaji, profesoara - Õi ea - de matematica (!) la Ôcoala Româneasca din Corotna. M-am gândit atunci sa public aceste giuvaieruri de versuri idilice, folclorice: fabule moralizatoare, imnuri, cântece, poezii pentru ...

In 1980's a new movement of avant-garde arised in literature, art philosophy and science. This is based on an excessive use of antinomies. antitheses. contradictions, oxymorons, paradoxes in the creative work at both small level and global level of the creative work. The goal is the enlargement of the artistic sphere through non-artistic elements. But especially the against-the-hair, counter-time. counter-sense creation. Also, to experiment....

The author's motivating interest the past few years has been the development and dissemination of G-dimensional theory (GDT). K. Toshihara, from Japan, proposed the concept of a paper defining G-Dimensional theory in relation to the Smarandache quantum paradoxes. After reviewing a draft, Dr. M. L. Perez, Editor of the SNJ, suggested the inclusion of the Smarandache (FTL) Hypothesis as well. So it is hoped that a determination of parametric relationships between the quantum paradoxes and GDT proves helpful in advancing interest and research in both areas. It became apparent from preliminary research that, although described in several forums and papers, e.g., the Smarandache quantum paradoxes have not been analyzed in depth or in terms of their relevance to modern science theory; so that, for example, "ask the expert" type online forums offer little in the way of explanatory relevance of these paradoxes....

This book presents the advancements and applications of neutrosophics. Chapter 1 rst introduces the interval neutrosophic sets which is an instance of neutrosophic sets. In this chapter, the denition of interval neutrosophic sets and set-theoretic operators are given and various properties of interval neutrosophic set are proved. Chapter 2 denes the interval neutrosophic logic based on interval neutrosophic sets including the syntax and semantics of rst order interval neutrosophic propositional logic and rst order interval neutrosophic predicate logic. The interval neutrosophic logic can reason and model fuzzy, incomplete and inconsistent information. In this chapter, we also design an interval neutrosophic inference system based on rst order interval neutrosophic predicate logic. The interval neutrosophic inference system can be applied to decision making. Chapter 3 gives one application of interval neutrosophic sets and logic in the eld of relational databases. Neutrosophic data model is the generalization of fuzzy data model and paraconsistent data model. Here, we generalize various set-theoretic and relation-theoretic operations...

THE period covered by the inception, the publication, and the completion of the Sacred Books of the East exactly coincides with the thirty-four years that I have spent in Oxford. When I matriculated, Professor Max Muller, the editor of the series, was about to begin work on the first volume, which appeared while I was still an undergraduate. I lost no time in making his acquaintance, for it was the influence of one of his works that had stimulated me to begin under Professor Benfey the study of Sanskrit at the University of Gbttingen, when I left school nearly two years before. During my undergraduate days and later lowed much to Professor Max Muller's advice and encouragement in regard to my studies, which have ever since followed, as far as Sanskrit is concerned, much the same lines as his. I consequently always took a lively interest in the Sacred Books edited by him as they successively appeared during the course of a quarter of a century, no fewer than thirty-six volumes having a more or less direct bearing on my own work, and fourteen of the translators being personally known to me. Professor Max Mi.iller lived to see all...

Habeltt sua lata libelli-not only after they have been published, but sometimes even before they are printed. It was in the spring of 1894 that the late Professor Max Muller first suggested to me that I should compile a General Index of the names and subject-matter for the complete series of the Sacred Books of the East. Such an Index, he thought, would be a great help to all students of the Sacred Books of tile East, and of the greatest value for the study of the history of religions....

The primal natm:e of the effort to establish relation is already to be seen in the earliest and most confined stage. Before anything isolated can be perceived, timid glances mOve out into indistinct space, towards something indefinite; and in times when there seems to be no desire for nourishment, hands sketch delicately and dimly in the empty air, apparently aimlessly seeking and reaching out to meet something indefinite. You may, if you wish, call this an animal action, but it is not thereby comprehended....
