Why Do We Experience Pain?

Ouch! Everyone experiences pain -- but why do we experience pain? And what exactly is pain, anyway? Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman walks us through the reason for pain, illuminating why we experience pain, the cause of humanity’s pain, and what it means to rise above the pain. The way I relate to pain dictates the pain intensity.

The sensation of pain is reduced. Right now, humanity is in pain, in real pain. It’s becoming physical. What kind of “virtual glasses” will help us deal with this? The best thing is to think about how nature leads us to a bright future, to build such a scenario for yourself.
