If you are like me and have wrestled with the questions such as “What is the purpose of my life?”, then I believe you will find this interview with Michael Laitman of great interest. Dr. Laitman explains that Kabbalah is not magic, mysticism or red strings, but a rigorous scientific study of the structure of the spiritual worlds. It is meant for anyone, no matter what age, gender, religion or culture.
I think we all realize there is a new world order. Nations are not isolated anymore and our actions all affect each other. The global financial meltdown is one example, but we also see environmental issues; new diseases that jump national boundaries; poverty and famine; political unrest and the threat of the next world war. Kabbalah offers us a methodology on how to understand our global connections and manage these connections for a better world.
This interview also covers questions such as: Why are so many celebrities drawn to Kabbalah? Does Kabbalah help your relationship with money? Do you need to meditate? …and it even touches on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Illuzia is a new short film series created by Vladek Zankovsky, comprising various Kabbalah concepts, each film playing out a Kabbalah concept with satire, perceptual displacement, humor and suspense.
As Zankovsky states, "In Illuzia, I wanted to put across ideas I’ve received from my study of Kabbalah. There are unique ideas in Kabbalah that many people are still unaware of, and which people can benefit so much from, and I have yet to see such ideas explored in film. So I saw a place for communicating these ideas across in an entertaining and easy-to-grasp way. My hope is that these films will spark more interest in this amazing wisdom.” There are thirteen films in the series, and each film is accompanied with a short text elaborating on the Kabbalistic concept that the films represent.
Below are five films from this series on YouTube:
* REALITILLUZIA - a film about reality
* FILMILLUZIA - a film about destiny
* CRISISILLUZIA - a film about crisis
* YOGILLUZIA - a film about spiritual seeking
* ESCAPEILLUZIA - a film about escaping from the day-to-day life
