Exact sciencescalled areas Sciences , which study quantitatively exact patterns and strict hypothesis testing methods based on reproducible experiments and strict logical reasoning. The exact sciences are mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry , as well as some sections biology, psychology and social science. Usually the exact sciences are opposedhumanities.

Informatics (cf. German Informatik, English Information technology, French Informatique, English computer science - computer science - in the USA, English computing science - computational science - in the UK) - the science of how to obtain, accumulate, store, transform, transmission, protection and use of information. It includes disciplines related to information processing in computers and networks: both abstract, such as the analysis of algorithms, and quite specific, such as the development of programming languages. The term informatics originated in France in the 1960s for the name of the field of automated information processing, as a fusion of the French words information and automatique. Research topics in computer science are the following questions: what can and cannot be implemented in programs and databases (computability theory and artificial intelligence), how to solve specific computational and information problems with maximum efficiency (computation complexity theory), in what form should and restore information of a specific type (structures and databases), how programs and people should interact with each other (user interface and programming languages ​​and knowledge representation), etc. Computer science is a young scientific discipline that studies issues related to the search, collection , storage, transformation and use of information in various spheres of human activity. Genetically, informatics is associated with computer technology, computer systems and networks, since it is computers that make it possible to generate, store and automatically process information in such quantities that a scientific approach to information processes becomes both necessary and possible. Until now, the interpretation of the term "informatics" (in the sense as it is used in modern scientific and methodological literature) has not yet been established and generally accepted. Let us turn to the history of the issue, dating back to the time of the appearance of electronic computers. The concept of computer science is as difficult for any general definition as, for example, the concept of mathematics. This is science, and the field of applied research, and the field of interdisciplinary research, and academic discipline (at school and at the university). Despite the fact that computer science as a science appeared relatively recently (see below), its origin should be associated with the work of Leibniz on the construction of the first computer and the development of a universal (philosophical) calculus. Information resources - Various formalized knowledge (theories, ideas, inventions), data (including documents), technologies and means of their collection, processing, analysis, interpretation and application, as well as exchange between sources and consumers of information.

Information technology -

A set of scientific disciplines involved in the study, creation and application of methods, methods, actions, processes, tools, rules, skills used to obtain new information (information, knowledge), collect, process, analyze, interpret, extract and apply data, content and information in order to meet the information needs of the national economy and society in the required volume and given quality.

The totality of these methods, methods, actions, etc.

Information process - A sequence of actions (operations) for the collection, transfer, processing, analysis, extraction and use of information (and / or its carriers) for various purposes in the course of the functioning and interaction of material objects.

Information technological process - A component of information technology as a practical tool for prescription activities, part of the production process, consisting of a sequence of coordinated technological operations related to the collection and processing<данных>as carriers of information, extracting from them the necessary information, news, knowledge, their accumulation, analysis, interpretation and application.

Mathematics(from other Greek μάθημα - study, science) - the science of structures, order and relationships, which has historically developed on the basis of operations of counting, measuring and describing the forms of real objects. Mathematical objects are created by idealizing the properties of real or other mathematical objects and writing these properties in a formal language. Mathematics does not belong to the natural sciences, but is widely used in them both for the precise formulation of their content and for obtaining new results. Mathematics is a fundamental science that provides (common) linguistic means to other sciences; thus, it reveals their structural interrelation and contributes to the discovery of the most general laws of nature. The idealized properties of the objects under study are either formulated as axioms or listed in the definition of the corresponding mathematical objects. Then, according to strict rules of logical inference, other true properties (theorems) are deduced from these properties. This theory together forms a mathematical model of the object under study. Thus, initially, proceeding from spatial and quantitative relationships, mathematics obtains more abstract relationships, the study of which is also the subject of modern mathematics. Traditionally, mathematics is divided into theoretical, which performs an in-depth analysis of intra-mathematical structures, and applied, which provides its models to other sciences and engineering disciplines, and some of them occupy a position bordering on mathematics. In particular, formal logic can be considered both as part of the philosophical sciences and as part of the mathematical sciences; mechanics - both physics and mathematics; computer science, computer technology and algorithmics are both engineering and mathematical sciences, etc. Many different definitions of mathematics have been proposed in the literature.

What is Kabbalah? Is it science or revelation? Is the doctrine secret or open?

Kabbalah is not a religion.

Does it have a direct relation to our time, and there is an urgent need to study it, or is this knowledge just legends that have come to us from ancient times?

By what formula does mankind develop? What is the driving force behind the evolution of man, humanity, all of nature?

Geological periods, social formations, our future, our free will, in the end, the ability to change something in fate - all this is illuminated in Kabbalah.

She gives very interesting, and sometimes unexpected, answers to all questions ...

Thanks to the Kabbalistic method, one can begin to feel the highest informational level hidden from us, which governs our inner world. If we know how this control takes place, we will be able to understand the more general, deeper, true laws that move nature and us as part of it.

Kabbalah allows a person to begin to better understand himself, the reason for his appearance on the planet, in space, and everything that happens to him throughout history.

Who are the Kabbalists?

Kabbalist and Humanity

Does a person who begins to study the science of Kabbalah become distracted from our world, distant from our worldly concerns? Maybe for him family, work, children, humanity - all our human concerns cease to exist, and he looks down on everyone, dismissively: what are these little people doing there?

He embraces the entire universe, its entire process, sees everything from beginning to end: worlds, souls, how they descend into our world, swim along its stream, ascend upwards, and, looking at how people deal with their daily small problems, seeing their aimlessness, helplessness, narrow-mindedness, he neglects them – is this how a Kabbalist looks at the world?

It turns out not. A real Kabbalistic view of the world, it is, of course, somewhat from above, from top to bottom, but I would liken it to the view of parents on their beloved children.

Studying the common soul, the creation called "Adam", we say that there are only 600 thousand root parts in it, souls, which then break up into many parts, descend into our world and inhabit, roughly speaking, six billion people. .

There are souls who have already entered into the sensation of the higher world; they belong to the highest stratum. Adama. Then gradually the souls from the deeper layer, belonging to the lower layers, enter into the sensation of the higher world. Such souls are the most productive, because egoism, desires are greater in them. The souls who today come to the feeling of the need to comprehend the higher world have gone through a huge preliminary preparation in previous circuits in our world.

A Kabbalist who looks at himself and the world from the outside, nevertheless observes this world from his point of view. He sees that the rest of the souls have not yet been corrected, that they need to grow, to prepare for their spiritual ascent from our world up, back to the spiritual level. He has a friendly, paternal, caring attitude towards them.

He prepares a methodology for them, and with all his strength, including in all the other souls, he prepares for them the most comfortable, easy, safe spiritual ascension. Just as a parent takes care of his children, so a Kabbalist takes upon himself a great concern for humanity: all its sufferings, all its hardships, shortcomings, searches, disappointments, a feeling of emptiness, and, passing through itself, it is thus included in mankind and help him.

In fact, we do not feel the help of a Kabbalist. To date, we do not have screen- the sixth sense organ. Then, when we begin to rise and rise along the spiritual level, we gradually grow this organ in ourselves, suddenly discover it in ourselves and become - each of us - equal Adam. Here we meet those great Kabbalists who have already made preliminary corrections in us and help us in this spiritual ascent.

This can be compared to the fact that a person who is born today in our world enjoys the fruits of all the development of mankind over the past thousands of years. He is still in the hands of his parents, but culture, science, technology - everything works for him. The people who lived before him suffered, discovered, worked and prepared everything so that today he would take it and develop safely and quickly.

Likewise, our spiritual uplift is based on the foundation that many Kabbalists have created for us in previous centuries. As we begin to mature spiritually, we discover and feel what each of them has done. Such is the attitude of a Kabbalist towards humanity.

Behind the shell of our world

Every person who gradually masters the science of Kabbalah begins to see the world through and through, with the forces behind it. He discovers a very interesting picture. I would compare it to embroidery.

There is a frame on which some kind of picture is embroidered with crosses. On the front side, it gives some kind of image, for example, it is a lake, a forest, trees, a clearing, that is, a picture embroidered with crosses. If we turn it over, then on the reverse side we will see a chaotic combination of threads interconnected, color transitions in different directions, which will not tell us anything about what kind of picture is on the other side. It would seem, why should we then try to know the reverse picture?

When we comprehend it, what do we see? That the whole universe, everything in our world is actually interconnected. These connections are revealed only from its reverse side. That is, we need to get out of our world beyond its outer shell.

When we discover these connections, the forces that are behind it, and how they are interconnected, then we begin to understand the whole creation, we begin to understand why, who and how painted this picture for us. And then, seeing these forces, feeling them, approaching them, we can begin to control them, to be included in this picture. A Kabbalist who begins to feel the universe is its full-fledged element.

The question arises: how can knowledge of the forces that stand behind the picture of our world and connect all the elements, my actions, thoughts, with other people and even with those forces that are not felt in our world help me in our world?

It can help me to exist in the most efficient way: looking at what is happening in our world, and seeing the forces that govern it, I will understand why this is being done. That is, for me the picture of reality becomes correct, forced, definite. I know how to fit into it, how to optimally adapt it for myself. I know exactly what actions I should be included in as positive, and what actions on the other side of the picture do not have their own forces and consequences, but only seem to me to exist.

Looking at this embroidery from my side - from the side of an ordinary person - I see some kind of picture. If I act only on the basis of it, I am almost always wrong. This is what we see in our world. We see what is happening to all of us and to all of humanity globally. And if I see connections between the elements of this whole picture from the reverse side, then I understand what I need to get involved in in order to act in harmony with the governing forces. In this way, I save myself from bad consequences - from the smallest to the largest. This is what the science of Kabbalah gives us.

Does a Kabbalist Become Happier?

Does a Kabbalist become healthier, happier in family life, more successful in business, more intelligent and prone to scientific discoveries? Although it seems that the answer is obvious - after all, if he knows all the forces, he knows the formula by which the universe operates, then, of course, he knows what to "wedge into", what to use (it's like playing on the stock exchange, when a person knows in advance who will win and who will fall). Actually it is not. And that's why.

In fact, each of us is a part of the common “Kli” (vessel), which, by integral, or by sum, is determined by the sum of all 600,000 souls. Therefore, a Kabbalist is obliged to act on the basis of the whole organism, of which he is a representative.

He must take into account the general condition of humanity. And not just obliged - he must force himself to act in this way. Involuntarily, in view of his structure, since he has risen to this level, he feels this whole organism as his own. For him, all souls are part of his own organism, they are all in him. And so he worries with everyone, gets sick, he may be unhappy in family life or in raising his children. This is because he is the representative of humanity in relation to the governing forces and must include all of humanity.

Is he happier than everyone else? Yes. Because he is aware of this mission and understands what all of humanity will come to. Is he freed from all the cares of mankind? No. Therefore, Kabbalists get sick, suffer, experience all sorts of personal dramas and tragedies. They just experience it in a different way. An ordinary person does not see the meaning in these experiences, he does not see purposefulness in them, their necessity for the final perfect and eternal state.

The Kabbalist feels all the pain of humanity. It is softened by a sense of importance, necessity and purpose, but he feels it. Therefore, one cannot think that a Kabbalist egoistically rose above our world, flew away to some worlds and there rests from us. On the contrary, rising, he feels himself in relation to us, as a caring parent in relation to his beloved children, helps and continues to make corrections here until the end of the liberation of all mankind from evil and to prepare for the correction of all souls.

About the work of the soul

And what does the soul do at a time when it is not in our world? The question itself is connected with time, which does not exist outside of our world.

Our entire world is built at a speed that is below the speed of light, below the speed of light. This corresponds to Einstein's theory, the ancient Kabbalist Rambam wrote about this back in the 11th century. And the spiritual world is at infinite speeds, so the speed is infinite, time is zero, and the mass of our world practically does not exist.

The soul descends from its root in the general system, and descends to a level called "our world". In our world, she lives a certain amount of time, say, 70 years. What happens to her next? She leaves. If a person during this life has reached his root, that is, he has practically gone all the way, then the soul returns to the root no longer as a point from which it descended as a private cell of the whole organism, but as a general organism that a person comprehended and absorbed into myself. This state is called Final Correction. That is, a person corrected himself, corrected his soul.

If he did not do this, then the soul returns to the state of a point and descends again in another period of time, in another era, and, perhaps, rises again. Thus, each of us in our earthly life goes through dozens of cycles of life until we enter the last cycle. One does not know when this will happen. A question arises in him about the meaning of life, a point in the heart, and, starting to realize it, he reaches the Complete Correction, the inclusion of his soul with all other souls in the same system of a single organism, called Adam, and no longer returns to our world.

The descent into our world is necessary only in order to rise back to the point from which you descended, fully corrected, in a state of inclusion in other souls.

This is about the ordinary soul. And there are special souls. These are the souls that come from the highest root in the Adam system. There is a soul that descends from above downwards all the time. Next to her there are souls smaller, but related to her, auxiliary. It descends into our world whenever major historical events take place.

Stages of development of egoism

Our world goes through all sorts of stages of egoistic growth. Souls descend from Adam and begin to develop in our world, passing through the zero, first, second, third, fourth and fifth stages of their development, that is, the development of bodily desires. Even if a person lived in the jungle, without any surrounding society, the body would give him all kinds of desires: food, shelter, family, sex. Then there is a craving for wealth, fame, honors, knowledge and spirituality. Selfishness is constantly growing. Moreover, growth does not occur along an inclined downward line, increasing gradually, but in jerks.

We note the first manifestation of selfishness as the appearance of Adam. And before him, people lived on Earth, but they did not manifest a point in the heart. It first appeared in Adam. From it, by analogy with the root of souls, this process began in our world. The next time this point in the heart appeared in Abraham, then in Moses. The fourth time it was Rashbi, the fifth time Ari, and the last time it was Baal HaSulam.

All these Kabbalists are representatives of the same soul, which descends into our world and creates in it a certain Kabbalist methodology suitable for its generation.

Adam wrote the book "Raziel Malach" ("Secret Angel"), which taught 20 generations before Abraham.

Abraham, a representative of the next egoistic level in man, created his own methodology and outlined it in the book "Sefer Yetzira" ("The Book of Creation"). This is the same soul, only as if immersed in greater egoism.

The next one is Moses. He created the Kabbalistic method, thanks to the fact that he had the book of Adam and the method of Abraham. His egoism was already much greater - egoism of the 2nd stage. This is connected with the immersion in Egypt and with many other spiritual and earthly incidents that took place here.

During the time of Rashbi, egoism increased so much that there was a breaking, destruction of the Temple. Rashbi created the Book of Zohar, which is the main one, since it was written during the destruction of all previous levels that existed before, which is similar to the destruction of the spiritual structure of Adam, which broke into 600 thousand separate parts and fell into our world. Before The Book of Zohar there was no method for correcting egoism. There was still nothing to fix, because the souls were not as selfish as they turned out to be after the collapse of the Second Temple.

The next great book that Ari wrote was Etz Chaim (Tree of Life). Ari marked the beginning of a period of correction, when all of humanity entered its last stage (technological revolution, periods of enlightenment, rebirth, and so on).

At a time when everything is collapsing and a general crisis of humanity sets in (this is our stage), another great soul rises - Baal HaSulam. He creates a methodology for spreading the science of Kabbalah throughout the world, based on previous sources. His sources are written on the basis of the book "The Tree of Life" (this work of his is called "The Teaching of the Ten Sefirot") and on the basis of the Book of Zohar, to which he wrote commentaries.

I do not think that in the future there should appear some other nominal, fundamental work on the correction of mankind. We create all sorts of explanations, explanations, comments on all these sources in order to bring modern man even closer to what Baal HaSulam did.

It is impossible to imagine today that this methodology can change. Based on the structure of the common soul, such great sources, methods of correction should no longer appear, because everything has already been set forth in these final works. It only remains for us, according to the problems existing on earth, to gradually adapt the view of modern man to these sources. This is what our Kabbalah Academy is doing. Therefore, the special soul that descends into our world is alone. This is written in the first volume of the Book of Zohar.

All 600 thousand souls appear in our world at the same time. One can imagine humanity, its development, as a line of soldiers. At first there were, say, a thousand people, then - 100 thousand, in the next period - millions, then hundreds of millions, and at the last stage it is already billions of people.

In each of the generations, all 600 thousand souls participate in the descent into our world. They are divided into a greater number of bodies in order to do finer, more detailed work on themselves, to absorb more sensations, definitions, properties, to experience more subtle and diverse connections between themselves. And this happens in the souls independently of us.

We can live, work completely automatically, without even thinking about why and how we exist, while the soul, meanwhile, goes through periods of maturity and moves further and further, until the need arises in it to rise to its root. Such that a person really enters a conscious life, begins to ask himself: what is my life really like, why, how, why do I exist?

Ari, besides The Tree of Life, has some very interesting books. One of them is called “Shaar a-Gilgulim” (“Gate of Circuits”), where he describes all the possible circuits that souls go through in our world: how, in whom it incarnates in our world, how it flows from body to body and etc.

This is a very difficult and complex system of knowledge in the science of Kabbalah, which we begin to study only after three or four years of study. In order to begin to understand the structure of the common soul, the possibility of the descent of private souls from the higher world that is above our world; in order to be able to freely track all actions, all metamorphoses that occur with souls during the transition from one world to another, a person must be in at least a minimal sense of the higher world on a par with the sense of our world.

Perception of reality

Here we come to a very complex problem of perception of the universe. When we say: "We are in our world" - what does it mean? We are inside ourselves, as in some kind of closed state. I have hearing, sight, smell, touch, taste, five senses in total. What I feel inside myself with the help of these five senses, somehow summing them up, evaluating them in myself with the help of the programs that are embedded in me, creates a picture of the world for me. I call it "my world".

Let us ask ourselves a simple question: is what we feel inside ourselves really what exists outside? Even from experiments carried out on beings close to us, we find that we do not perceive the true, unique picture of the world. Let's say a bee or a dog feels it differently.

If our senses were to change, we would perceive it differently. For example, my eardrum is broken, and it seems to me that there is no sound. Is it really not, or is that how I feel? Of course, I'm the only one who feels this way. There are a huge number of waves around me, and I perceive only from 15 to 30 thousand hertz. Or other waves that reproduce in me taste, touch, smell, vision in a very limited range. I do not feel huge ranges of waves.

Besides, you can't even say that I feel something. There is an eardrum inside me, some pressure is felt from the outside, and from the inside I reproduce a certain reaction to this pressure and measure my efforts to balance the eardrum.

Under the pressure of the wave, the eardrum sags, and I have to make an effort from the inside to return it to its original state. In this way I measure my effort and by its nature I judge what is really affecting me. But it may turn out to be completely different from what I imagine, because my internal efforts are of one nature, and what acts outside is of a completely different nature.

My nature is human, physiological, and the external one can be completely different, I don’t even know which one, because I can never go beyond my feelings. Therefore, I never feel the world that exists around me. I perceive only my reactions to something that affects me.

Therefore, a true scientist does not talk about understanding the world, he talks about understanding our reactions to something that affects us. I can't say at all what the world in which I exist is. That is, I get some impressions, sensations, only due to the fact that I was created this way. And if the sense organs and their ranges changed in me, or if others appeared that are unknown to me, then my impression of myself and those around me would be completely different.

Can we somehow determine what the world we live in really is, is there something outside of us? Or is the universe, the universe around me, me, others, just an illusion? A person cannot answer this question based on the five sense organs that he has. To do this, you need to acquire the sixth sense organ, and then we will see ourselves and the illusion that we observe from the outside. This allows us to do the science of Kabbalah. The sensations and impressions that we receive from the outside, and the way we perceive the external world - this is called the upper world.

In our time, scientists already understand the limitations of the approach to the study of nature. This is especially evident in quantum physics, where we encounter special, paradoxical phenomena. In Newton's time, it was believed that the world is the way we perceive it. There is a man - an observer, and what he observes is in front of him. A person exists, dies, but the picture of the world remains constant. It naturally changes on its own, as the universe develops, but man does not influence this picture in any way. This is the view of science according to Newton.

Then another look appears. There is a person who observes the world, but this is not the picture that is seen from the outside. It is a combination of the properties of a person and what he observes. Humanity has come to this by studying itself. We began to study our physiology and saw that depending on our abilities, sense organs, their extension with devices, etc., we see a different picture. This means that we do not just objectively observe something that exists, but at the same time we participate in the process of observation. This is already close to the point of view of the famous scientist Hugh Everett.

According to the science of Kabbalah, the picture is completely different. There is a person who feels something in himself. What? He feels the uniform field in which he is, and everything else, that is, images, ideas about the external and internal world, are formed inside the person. Inside it there are worlds, but outside of it there is nothing.

Today we approach this from the point of view of science. Researchers in the field of quantum physics are beginning to agree with this, and the mainstream natural sciences are already approaching such a view. The science of Kabbalah has been talking about this for a thousand years. It has long pointed to the various stages of man's comprehension of the world, to how he will determine the world in which he exists. Until he reaches such a level of comprehension that he understands that everything depends only on his internal properties.

When a person begins to understand that in fact he does not know what is around, that everything exists only inside him, this leads him to the conclusion that by changing his properties, he could change his impression of the world. What today seems to be solid, liquid, gaseous, would change its parameters and limits. He would pass through the wall, and the air, which is now transparent, through, perhaps, would become completely opaque for him. Depending on what properties it would have.

The science of Kabbalah puts a person in a position from which it makes him look at the world in a different way, drives him out of himself so much that he enters a completely different dimension. In addition, it allows a person to acquire a model of a completely different reality, and then a person begins to see and feel it.

The problem is that the picture of the world that is in front of us can be imprinted in me only in accordance with the program I have, that is, only the picture that I am able to process is imprinted. Little kids don't see much. The older a person is, the more he sees, the more developed he is, the more complex internal connections between objects he distinguishes.

And if suddenly an object appeared in front of me, the model of which is not in me, I would not see it. After all, I can only see what already exists in me in advance, to which I am adapted, and what I am able to see, define, evaluate. Therefore, around us in our world, in our dimension, in the volume in which we exist, there is a lot that we do not observe, do not feel. We do not know what it is, we go through it, we do not have enough feelings for it, we do not have a model corresponding to this.

You can imagine how much the science of Kabbalah enriches the human world. He begins to see those forces, properties, objects, connections that ordinary people do not observe! All this is studied in the science of Kabbalah, because without acquiring these skills, a person does not perceive the upper world. He cannot reveal it for himself, he simply remains inside our closed little world.

But these are more advanced courses. Approximately in the second or third year of study, we begin to talk with students on these topics, and within a few years they begin to perceive and feel it.

If a person studies according to the correct curriculum, which the Kabbalists published in the first century of our era, then, as they write in the preface to this program, any person, correctly studying according to it, reaches the level of comprehending the highest within three to five years. peace. A complete picture of the universe opens up to him, and then there is no longer a question to which he could not find the answer in himself.

Kabbalah, art and love

There are a lot of wonderful impulses in human activity in our world: the desire for self-expression, beauty, love, harmony, the desire to express oneself through music, art, painting. What desires does this refer to: desires for wealth, fame, knowledge, power? This is the same egoism that seeks self-expression. He is really nice to us.

We can admire the works of other people, get satisfaction from this, but in principle this is a selfish self-expression of a person, the desire to express one's feelings, to fame, glory, in some way, and the desire for power. That is, the desire to express oneself in front of other people leads a person to art.

You don't have to think it's bad. The science of Kabbalah in no case drives a person into any framework and does not limit him in expressing his feelings. Vice versa. We have Kabbalistic music. This is a very interesting section of science where Kabbalists, instead of expressing their attainments in spiritual words, express them in the form of sounds. And since the melody enters our feelings, into the heart, passing through the mind and not affecting it, such a perception of Kabbalistic information gives a very special effect.

This is suitable even for those who do not understand anything at all, do not know anything, cannot read Kabbalistic texts in the original, or simply have not read anything. This expression of perception, the feeling of the spiritual world by a great Kabbalist, the transmission of this perception through music to any person carries great spiritual potential and can help a beginner to nurture himself.

When a person begins to search for the spiritual, usually all other types of self-expression in art fade into the background. Because he sees that with our earthly means we are practically unable to express the feeling that he begins to perceive from the higher substance.

If I see a river, a lake, stars, a beautiful object, an expression of some kind of human emotion, an expression, I can express it with my own means, because I express earthly feelings. If I feel something spiritual, then it cannot be expressed in any earthly form. I can't wear it in almost anything.

The only way in which Kabbalists could somehow convey their perception, admiration for the unfolding universe, is music.

It is impossible to depict this in the form of a picture, because there are no images in the spiritual. Immediately there is a materialization of the spiritual, and it kills everything. It's forbidden to even try. Firstly, this will never work out, and secondly, the Kabbalist at the same time reduces himself to the level of our world. Therefore, there is no direct connection between the science of Kabbalah and art, only partially with music.

Kabbalists write fairy tales, parables, you can write a Kabbalist novel. This comes from the desire of a person in our world when he comprehends the higher world. But when he comes to the description of spiritual experiences, then there is nothing to describe - it is impossible to describe it with our earthly language. Therefore, this is done allegorically through a parable, a fairy tale, a metaphor. This technique is widely used in the science of Kabbalah.

How does the science of Kabbalah relate to such manifestations of human behavior as love, hatred, and so on?

It comes from the fact that egoism is constantly growing in a person. Egoism is our nature, the desire to enjoy, to fill ourselves. One of the manifestations of egoistic fulfillment is love. If we address this question to physiologists or psychologists, they will explain to us that all this comes from our inner nature. There is nothing sublime in this, beyond the scope of our world, and all this is nothing more than the search for a certain egoistic fulfillment.

True love, that is, connection, is achieved through an understanding of the commonality between souls. When a person rises and sees how he is included in this huge collection of all souls in a common picture, in a common body and in a common system, then his feeling about them is called love. At the level of our world, the sensations of every little egoist, if he wants to fill himself with the help of others, can be called earthly love. But in reality it is nothing more than a search for pleasure.

The concept of a commandment

It seems to us that some Kabbalistic texts speak of commandments, that is, of the necessary laws of human behavior in our world. How do Kabbalists really understand the commandments?

We exist in a certain volume, an egoistic Kli, a vessel, a world. All nature - inanimate, vegetative, animal and human - is egoistic. Our world is affected by certain governing forces. We do not know them, we only assume that our world, the universe, the universe are controlled. We partly comprehend these laws within the limits in which we are able to comprehend. Just as they once comprehended the laws of Newton, but then saw that they are particular laws, more general laws of Einstein. Then we want to expand our knowledge, and Einstein's laws turn out to be specific to other, more general laws, and so on.

Even from the study of laws in a minimal form, we see that they are all strictly coercive, logical, interconnected. And, obviously, there are laws that govern our entire universe, what Einstein so desired to discover is the general formula of the field that acts on us: on inanimate, vegetative, human nature. If we knew these laws, it would be easy for us who are in this world.

Representatives of inanimate, vegetative and animal nature act by virtue of their nature and never make mistakes. Neither the plant nor the animal is wrong, because they have a creation program inside them, and it starts them without any problems. A newborn bull-calf perfectly exists in this world, he already knows what he can eat, what he can’t, where he feels bad, where he is good. One or two days - and he already walks freely and orients himself in the surrounding space. But it does not develop either: as he was born, at the same level he exists until the end of his life.

The only one who is wrong is the man. He is born very small, completely helpless. For 20 years, he must be educated, filled with all kinds of knowledge, physically and internally raised. But since neither parents nor society know all the laws of nature, they cannot make up for him what nature has not placed in him. That is, a person is initially in a detrimental state. He lacks internal programs of behavior in order not to make mistakes.

He must supplement these internal programs of behavior himself. Where will he get them from? This is what the science of Kabbalah says. We must go beyond our world, study the forces outside our world that are at work here, and adapt them to us. Thus, we will act correctly, our life will become happy and successful, convenient and safe.

Without knowing and supplementing that part of nature that is initially absent in us, we cannot live. We are not representatives of the animal or plant world, and, moreover, inanimate nature, which have nothing to supplement for their existence. Only man makes mistakes and needs to be supplemented. On the one hand, this pushes him towards development, but the problem is that he does not know in which direction to direct him. And so for thousands of years we have been developing and only stuffing bumps.

The laws of nature that exist around us are very simple. There is only one law of nature, which is called the law of bestowal, or absolute altruism. Within our nature, including man and the entire universe, there are 613 egoistic desires. We must correct these desires for the opposite - altruistic ones. Then our behavior will balance the impact of this general law on us. Thus, we will find ourselves in a comfortable state, in a state of eternity and perfection.

The correction of each of our 613 desires is called the fulfillment of commandments, that is, obligations, because nature obliges us to do this. The law of bestowal acts on our world in accordance with the measure of human development, it presses on us more and more.

With each period, with each generation, with each year, humanity becomes more and more unhappy, more and more unbalanced, because egoism is constantly growing, and we do not correct it, do not balance it with respect to the external law of bestowal. It turns out that with each generation we become more and more unhappy.

As a result: either by blows of fate, that is, by opposition to the general law of bestowal, or by understanding with the help of the science of Kabbalah, we will be forced to come to an understanding of the need to correct our 613 primordial desires, that is, to fulfill the 613 commandments.

Commandment of Love

In principle, all the commandments fit into one - this is the Commandment of Love, that is, the anti-egoistic direction of any thought and any action of a person. Humanity will have to come to this. All religions speak of this - Christian, Muslim, Jewish, as well as Eastern and Western methods, they all say almost the same thing.

Mankind knows about it, it just does not know how to implement it. This can be done when the upper world opens up to you, when you see that this is the law, and there is nowhere to go: if you act against this law, egoistically, you will destroy yourself. This direct vision of the consequences of evil from one's own egoism leads a person to the realization of the need for correction.

Thus, the science of Kabbalah prevents the blows of fate. She suggests: you just open the outer universe for yourself, look at what is around you, and you will be convinced that you must act differently. Because you cannot harm yourself, you were created in an egoistic nature, and your greatest egoism will become altruism. As a result, through this deformation in yourself, you will comprehend eternity, perfection, infinite fulfillment.

We are facing a purely psychological problem. What difference does it make to us what to enjoy, we just want to enjoy. The pleasure of bestowal is limitless, because our desire is not filled or annulled under the influence of fulfillment, pleasure. If we pass it through ourselves, we remain constantly filled, constantly enjoying. Therefore, the question is only in the psychological, internal decision of a person, and it will come.

We are at a stage in the development of mankind when science, art, culture, our social development will convince us that we must abandon our nature and rise above it. To do this painlessly, easily, freely, like a kind, good step, the science of Kabbalah will help us.

Man exists in our world like an animal until such egoism accumulates that breaks through and forces him to go out into the spiritual. Everyone goes up at birth.

The exact sciences include mathematics, from beginning to end invented by man and based on completely abstract concepts. What is number 1? It does not exist in nature. There are objects to which this concept refers, for example, one brick or one chair. What is common between a brick and a chair, where is the number 1 in them? Numbers were invented by man to facilitate the knowledge of the objective part of reality and do not exist anywhere except in his mind. In other words, numbers do not exist in the material world of the objective part of reality. A very common misconception is that mathematics is objective for the material world, that it somehow exists in this very material world. This is not true. Numbers do not exist in nature; they are not a property of material bodies. Numbers (and all mathematics in general) serve as a tool invented by man for understanding the material world of objective reality. Mathematics is an example of intersubjectivity, but, nevertheless, has the subjective nature of its existence.

Mathematics is a very powerful tool. There are dozens of directions in it, each of which is simply invaluable for the knowledge of Reality. Take, for example, the theory of probability. Let's flip a coin, what will come up, heads or tails? No one knows, including mathematics, since this is a random equally probable event. But let's flip a coin a million times, and then a mathematician can say that with a high probability (almost certainly) there will be heads from 300,000 to 600,000. Of course, this is not an exact value, but the fact that an event that previously seemed absolutely random acquires a completely calculated result is noteworthy. And if you throw an infinite number of times, then exactly half will be heads and half tails. The result is predictable. So how do predictability and randomness fit together? And this is what the theory of probability allows us to know. And before talking about God, about predestination, about fate, about other things of this kind, you must first study the theory of probability and see if this is not fate, but ordinary complex mathematics.

The natural sciences are engaged in the fact that they are trying to know the material world, using the mathematical apparatus for this. And they do it just fine, for example, I type this text on a very powerful computer, which simply could not exist without science. However, everything is not as simple as it seems at first glance. If mathematics described the entire material world as well as it turns out by simply counting the fingers on the hands, then there would simply be no need for the natural sciences. The use of a mathematical tool is associated with great difficulties in correlating the results of calculations and scientific experiments. For this, various coefficients are introduced, numerical and probabilistic methods are used. There is a large section of applied mathematics. So, by itself, mathematics cannot accurately describe the real material world, even quantitatively, only within the limits of errors, often not even mathematically deducible. And about the description of the essence of objects and phenomena, there can be no question.

The current understanding of the term "science" correlates it with morality, ideology, law, religion, art, and so on, as one of the components of the spiritual culture of mankind.

What is science?

Science is a certain system of ordered knowledge about society, nature, man, it is also a unique type of production of a spiritual order, which is aimed at the full provision of knowledge, its improvement and storage.

In addition to the above, science is a complex within which the mentioned production takes place.

To be precise in the definition of science, it arose as a cultural phenomenon in the seventeenth century and gave a chance to test the veracity of open knowledge empirically. Science is firmly connected with society. It cannot receive an impetus for the emergence or development outside of society. But today's society cannot fully function without it, because the main types of science are aimed at meeting the needs in all aspects of human existence, and also serve as a powerful factor in the development of society. Based on knowledge about the laws of operation and development of objects in its field of consideration, science builds a forecast for the further existence of these objects in order to master the surrounding reality in practice.

Scientific knowledge. Paradigm

Scientific knowledge is governed by specific norms and ideals of scientific activity, which include certain approaches, attitudes, principles developed by scientists at certain stages of the development of scientific reality. They change over time, as, for example, there was a transition from the understanding of physics by Isaac Newton to the views of Albert Einstein. The set of norms and ideals of scientific knowledge that prevail at a particular stage of development is called the "style of scientific thinking."

US historian of science T. Kuhn has worked on analyzing the nature with which scientific knowledge has evolved. He concretized the periods during which science has a gradual development, the facts are accumulated through a set of proven theories within the boundaries of previously emerging theories. This is a certain state of science, the development of which is based on the norms, attitudes and rules established in the scientific community, Kuhn determined as a paradigm.

While different types of sciences receive new rounds of development within a particular paradigm, there is an accumulation of facts that go beyond the boundaries of existing theories. There comes a time when it is necessary to change the basis of scientific knowledge, methodological guidelines, principles to explain the newly acquired facts. Thus, there is a change in the scientific paradigm, which Kuhn calls the scientific revolution.

Scientific picture of the world

The mentioned process inevitably leads to changes in the scientific picture of the world, that is, a complex system of principles and concepts regarding the laws and general characteristics of the surrounding world. There is a general scientific picture of the world, which includes ideas about all aspects of reality, about nature, society and direct knowledge, and a natural-scientific picture of the world. It depends on the subject of knowledge to which it refers. Thus, such a picture of the world can be physical, chemical, astronomical, biological, and so on. In the center of the general scientific picture of the world is the picture of the world of the leading (at the current stage of development of science) field of scientific knowledge.

Any picture of the world is based on specific fundamental theories. With the development of knowledge and practice, they replace one another. For example, the natural science and physical model was based in the seventeenth century on classical mechanics and was called, respectively, classical, then in the twentieth century - on electrodynamics, relativity theory and quantum mechanics and was called the non-classical picture of the world. Today it is based on synergetics and is considered post-non-classical. Scientific pictures of the world serve as a heuristic basis for building fundamental theories. They are intertwined with the worldview, this is one of the most important resources for its formation.

The classification of sciences is controversial in the scientific community. This is an important and complex issue. The system is so ramified that all the diverse and numerous studies that can be distinguished by subject, object, degree of fundamentality, method, scope, and so on, cannot be classified on one basis. In general, the following groups can be listed: technical, natural, social or public and humanitarian.

Natural sciences:

about space in general, its structure and development processes: cosmology, astronomy, astrophysics, cosmogony, cosmochemistry and others;

about the earth, that is, geophysics, geochemistry, geology and others;

about the systems and processes of physics, biology, chemistry, the forms according to which the movement of matter occurs;

about a person in his biological aspect, the origin and development of the organism, for example, this is anatomy.

Technical sciences as a basis have natural sciences. The subject of their study are various aspects and branches of technology development. These are radio engineering, heat engineering, electrical engineering and others.

Social or social types of sciences have a branched internal system. The subject of study of social sciences is society. Among them are sociology, political science, economics, jurisprudence and others. The types of economic sciences, in particular, have their own hierarchy, like many of the sciences in this category.

The humanities study the spiritual world of the individual, his place in the surrounding world and society, among people. These are psychology, pedagogy, conflictology and others.

Related positions

Some individual sciences can form links between categories, come into contact with different groups. These are medicine, ergonomics, engineering psychology, ecology and others. It is worth noting that a particularly small line is formed by the types of social sciences and the humanities. Such boundary sciences include history, aesthetics, ethics, and so on.

In the system of sciences, a unique position is occupied by mathematics, philosophy, cybernetics, computer science, and the like. These types of sciences are of a general nature, therefore they are guided in all studies.

Science on the way of its development from a solitary occupation becomes a unique, in some way, an independent form of consciousness of society and an aspect of human activity. It is the product of a long process of development of human culture and civilization. This is a separate social organism with special types of interaction, separation and management of individual processes of scientific activity.

Functions of Science

The ever-increasing importance of science in today's scientific and technological world cannot be denied. Its functions explain its role:

epistemological, that is, science helps to know the world around us;

ideological, science also gives an explanation of reality;

transformative. The main types of science are the key to the development of society, it serves as the basis for the processes of current production and the discovery of new ways of doing something, advanced technologies, thus greatly increasing the potential of society.

Thus, it is difficult to unambiguously classify all types of science. But it can be divided into several groups that closely interact with each other.

The concept of "science" has several basic meanings. Firstly, science is understood as the sphere of human activity aimed at developing and systematizing new knowledge about nature, society, thinking and knowledge of the surrounding world. In the second meaning, science acts as a result of this activity - a system of acquired scientific knowledge. Thirdly, science is understood as one of the forms of social consciousness, a social institution.

The immediate goal of science is the comprehension of objective truth, obtained as a result of knowledge about the objective and subjective world.

The tasks of science: collection, description, analysis, generalization and explanation of facts; discovery of the laws of motion of nature, society, thinking and knowledge; systematization of acquired knowledge; explanation of the essence of phenomena and processes; forecasting of events, phenomena and processes; establishing directions and forms of practical use of acquired knowledge.

An extensive system of numerous and diverse studies, distinguished by object, subject, method, degree of fundamentality, scope, etc., practically excludes a single classification of all sciences on one basis. In the most general form, sciences are divided into natural, technical, social and humanitarian.

To natural sciences include sciences:

about space, its structure, development (astronomy, cosmology, etc.);

Earth (geology, geophysics, etc.);

physical, chemical, biological systems and processes, forms of motion of matter (physics, etc.);

man as a biological species, its origin and evolution (anatomy, etc.).

Technical The sciences are substantively based on the natural sciences. They study various forms and directions of development of technology (radio engineering, electrical engineering, etc.).

social the sciences also have a number of directions and study society (economics, sociology, political science, jurisprudence, etc.).

Humanities sciences - sciences about the spiritual world of a person, about the attitude towards the world around him, society, his own kind (pedagogy, psychology, etc.).

2. Natural science and humanitarian culture.

Their difference is based on certain types of relationship between the object and the subject in the natural and social sciences and the humanities. In the first there is a clear separation of the object from the subject, sometimes brought to the absolute; while all the attention of the researcher is focused on the object. In the social and human sciences, such a separation is fundamentally impossible, since in them the subject and object are merged into one object. The problems of such relationships were studied by the English writer and scientist C. Snow.

The subject area of ​​science includes:

· system of knowledge about nature - natural science (natural sciences);

· a system of knowledge about the positively significant values ​​of being a person, social strata, the state, humanity (humanities).

The natural sciences are an integral part of the natural science culture, and the humanities, respectively, of the humanitarian culture.

natural science culture- is: the total historical volume of knowledge about nature and society; the volume of knowledge about specific types and spheres of being, which is updated and accessible in a reduced form and available for presentation; the content of accumulated and updated knowledge about nature and society assimilated by a person.

humanitarian culture- this is: the total historical volume of knowledge of philosophy, religious studies, jurisprudence, ethics, art history, pedagogy, literary criticism and other sciences; system-forming values ​​​​of humanitarian knowledge (humanism, ideals of beauty, perfection, freedom, kindness, etc.).

The specifics of natural science culture: knowledge about nature is distinguished by a high degree of objectivity and reliability (truth). In addition, it is deeply specialized knowledge.

Specificity of humanitarian culture: the system-forming values ​​of humanitarian knowledge are determined and activated on the basis of an individual's belonging to a certain social group. The problem of truth is solved taking into account the knowledge about the object and the assessment of the usefulness of this knowledge by the cognizing or consuming subject. At the same time, the possibility of interpretations that contradict the real properties of objects, saturation with certain ideals and projects of the future is not ruled out.

The relationship between natural science and humanitarian cultures is as follows: have a common cultural basis, are the fundamental elements of a single system of knowledge; represent the highest form of human knowledge; mutually coordinate in the historical and cultural process; stimulate the emergence of new interdisciplinary branches of knowledge at the intersection of the natural and human sciences.

Man is the main link in the connection of all sciences
