<div>==Emptiness of Yetzer Hara==<br />
* The Yetzer Hara deceives the entire world and gets everyone to chase after him but in the end has nothing to offer.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 6">Sichos HaRan 6</ref> <br />
** He deceives each person making him believe he can provide his desires, each person according to his personal foolishness and lust.<br />
** At the end the Yetzer Hara offers complete emptiness since there is no one that can completely satisfy his lusts by following his Yetzer Hara.<br />
<br />
<br />
Empty Desires and Lust<br />
Lusts of the physical world can be compared to rays of light. When they enter the home, sunrays appear like pillars due to the radiance of the sun. It appears that one can grab these pillars of light. Yet when they are grabbed and grasped, there is nothing in the hand. All the desires and lusts of this world are exactly like this. <br />

<hr />
<div>==Sins Cause Atheism==<br />
* There are sins that place apostasy within a person and cause damage to his faith.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 32">Sichos HaRan 32</ref> <br />
** There are also those that have thoughts doubting their faith since they were not born and conceived in proper holiness.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 32"/><br />
** People that were conceived in holiness and did not sin, are not bombarded with thoughts of atheism. Even if they overhear conversations of apostasy, it does not interest them at all or confuse them.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 32"/><br />
** Someone that has doubts of atheism, should be very embarrassed and have a broken heart; that he was conceived in such physicality or did such bad sins, which caused him to have have doubts against our holy faith and the Glory of Hashem.<br />
** By feeling this embarrassment and having a broken heart, one breaks and expels the doubts and thoughts of atheism from himself.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 32"/><br />
** People that are attracted to Philosophy and repelled by the holy awesome Zohar and Kitvay Arizal which contain sweet and amazing teaching; this stems from their bad nature, since they were born in bad circumstances and can not tolerate true holiness.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 40">Sichos HaRan 40</ref> They also have free choice and the power to break their bad nature but have to suffer great bitterness to do so, since they were born with bad tendencies.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 40"/><br />
<br />
==Atheists Feel Helpless==<br />
* A person with faith can comfort and strengthen himself even as he suffers; that it's for the best, it's serving as an atonement, Hashem will have mercy on him and in the end things will improve either in This World or the Next World.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 32"/><br />
** When atheists suffer, they have nowhere to turn and nothing to strengthen and comfort themselves with.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 32"/><br />
<br />
==Limited Minds Cause Questions==<br />
* Most of questions and philosophical calculations of the masses are stupidities and are not questions at all.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 32"/><br />
** Often a person will have a question for a long time. Really the question itself is his answer, but since his mind is limited, it seems like a big question to him.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 32"/><br />
*** Example: A child was asked about a broken glass window; You can replace the broken glass with its adjacent glass, but now birds will enter though that new opening? To the child with his limited mind, it appears like a major question since its answer was included in it. In reality the question itself is the answer; that you do not replace the broken glass with the 2nd one since it will cause birds to fly in.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 32"/><br />
<br />
==Great Atheism Will Come to the World==<br />
* Great atheism will come and descend upon the world. Fortunate will be those that cling to their faith during these times.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 35">Sichos HaRan 35</ref> <br />
** Despite this warning it will still require large mental battles to remain righteous and have faith. This warning will server as a comfort and strength motivator, when people see this was previously discussed.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 35"/><br />
** This came to reality during the ensuing reform movement and communist regime but it is still prevalent today in other ways and who knows what the future holds.<ref>Shover Zadim Emuna</ref><br />
** During this time, someone who remains a simple righteous person will be considered a novelty like the Baal Shem Tov.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 36">Sichos HaRan 36</ref><br />
<br />
==Speaking Against Tzadikim==<br />
* Often a person is embarrassed to speak out directly against Hashem, so instead he talks badly about the Tzadikim. In truth, his words are directed against Hashem.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 38">Sichos HaRan 38</ref><br />

<hr />
<div>==Inventions Transmitted From Above==<br />
* All innovations and ideas that came through scientists and inventors throughout history, such as weapons and smart technology, were all transmitted from Above.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 5">Sichos HaRan 5</ref> <br />
** It would have been impossible for that wisdom to come to that scientist, unless it was illuminated and sparked into his mind from Above.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 5"/><br />
** When the period and time came for that wisdom or invention to be revealed in the world, it was transmitted into their minds from Above, in order for it to be revealed in the world.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 5"/><br />
** Proof being the many earlier wise scientists who experimented and did not reach that idea or invention.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 5"/><br />
** Mostly these arrive through the Other Side and were not sent from the Side of Holiness.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 5"/><br />
* All technology is built on the back of previously transmitted knowledge. The ancients were much smarter and wiser then modern scientists. If given the same knowledge, they would have advanced much further with it. However it was not time yet, so this knowledge was hidden from them.<ref name="Shover Zadim - Toldos Olam">Shover Zadim - Toldos Olam</ref><br />
<br />
==Technological Advancement in Last Century==<br />
* Since the length of the world in its current state is 6000 years, the great advancements in the last century and the many that will arrive in the near future, fit very well as we are nearing the end of time. This was clearly prophesized by Yishayahu בעתה אחישנה<ref>Yishayahu 60:22</ref> - "in its time I will hasten it". <br />
** In contrast to absurd atheist claims, where there is no logic to explain how after 'millions of years' of almost nothingness, there is suddenly such progress.<ref name="Shover Zadim - Toldos Olam"/><br />
* Ever increasing technological advances paired with the wickedness and greediness of humans, gives the world at most 200 years before it is totally destroyed. This works perfectly with the 6000 year plan but according to atheists such a pity that the world will come to such a fast abrupt end after 'millions of years'.<ref name="Shover Zadim - Toldos Olam"/><br />
** This short 'life expectancy' of the world, is for the best and will result in the revelations of the Moshiach and very high spiritual states, but must be a very gloomy future for the atheists.<ref name="Shover Zadim - Toldos Olam"/><br />
<br />
==Technology of the Ancients==<br />
* While the ancients did not have physical technology they had very advanced spiritual / meta physical technologies.<ref name="Shover Zadim - Toldos Olam"/><br />

<div>==Simple Faith==<br />
* Fortunately Moshe Rabbenu opened the Torah: "In the beginning, Hashem created the heavens...", without any philosophical calculations or proofs.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 5">Sichos HaRan 5</ref><br />
* One should strengthen himself with faith and should not enter philosophical calculations at all nor read books of philosophy. Rather he should believe in Hashem with faith alone and no calculations at all.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 32">Sichos HaRan 32</ref><br />
* Faith is a very crucial thing.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 33">Sichos HaRan 33</ref><br />
* Essential faith is without any wisdoms or calculations, rather with complete simplicity like women and the righteous masses believe.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 33"/><br />
<br />
<br />
==Rely on the Tzadikim==<br />
* We already had many great and awesome Tzadikim in every generation. It is befitting that we should rely on them and follow their path and have faith in Hashem with simplicity and keep His Torah and Mitzvos without any philosophical calculations.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 32"/><br />

<hr />
<div>==Books of Philosophy==<br />
* The books of the philosophers lack real depth and have no complete intelligence in there at all, as opposed to a teaching of the Maharsha, Maharam and our other holy books, which have depth and wondrous, sweet knowledge in them.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 5">Sichos HaRan 5</ref><br />
** Philosophy books speak in the way of questions, back and forth until they come to some proof and the intelligence found in our holy Torah, is not there at all.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 5"/><br />
<br />
<br />
==Damage of Philosophy==<br />
* Every human is born with wickedness, and naturally follows it and his evil desires. Only due to 'fear of punishment' one breaks his desires and starts serving Hashem.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 5"/> <br />
** When one learns the books of philosophy - doubt and atheism enter his heart, aiding his natural wickedness.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 5"/><br />
* We did not find anyone that was made righteous and G-D fearing through philosophy books.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 5"/><br />
** Although they discuss things like good traits; it is all emptiness and their loss is greater than their gain, since they greatly confuse a person's mind.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 5"/><br />
<br />
==Everyone Philosophizes==<br />
* Although it appears that most people are far from philosophy, in truth they are all entangled in philosophical delving.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 32">Sichos HaRan 32</ref> <br />
** Each person including the minor ones have philosophical calculations and philosophical confusions enter their minds.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 32"/><br />
* There is a philosopher in the heart of every person since the Evil Inclination brings philosophical calculations into his heart. One must subdue and evict all these calculations from his heart and strengthen himself with faith.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 32"/><br />
<br />
==Distance from Philosophy==<br />
* One must distance and totally remove philosophy from his heart and not be a philosopher at all. Rather he should have faith in Hashem and the Tzadikim with out any calculations at all.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 32"/><br />
** It is forbidden to study philosophy books or even look in them.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 40">Sichos HaRan 40</ref><br />
** This includes the philosophy books written leading Jewish Rabbis.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 40"/><br />
** Philosophy is not a portion of the Jews, and we have no connection to it, since we believe in Hashem through faith,<ref name="Sichos HaRan 40"/> without any calculations, that He created the entire World, constantly gives existence to the World and will renew the World in the future.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 40"/><br />
<br />
==Philosophical Answers are Weak==<br />
* Philosophy books tend to ask what seem to be very large questions, then supply only very weak answers.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 40"/> One can then easily debate and refute the answers.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 40"/> It is therefore forbidden to study philosophy.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 40"/><br />

<div>'''Greatness of Hashem'''<br />
<br />
* A person's awareness of Hashem's greatness is a personal experience that only he perceives in his heart at that moment.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 1">Sichos HaRan 1</ref> <br />
** It is not tangible and varies from day to day.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 1"/><br />
** It is impossible to convey your understanding of Hashem's greatness to another person.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 1"/><br />
** Nor is it possible to fully recall your awareness of Hashem's greatness that you experienced on a different day.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 1"/><br />
<br />
* Hashem's greatness is endless, for there are constantly very wonderous and awesome things occurring in the world, that we are not even aware of at all.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 3">Sichos HaRan 3</ref><br />
** It is a high level to reach a point where you acknowledge that you do not know anything at all.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 3"/><br />
** This is still limited to your current level of knowledge, where you realize there is a lot more to know, that you do not know. However there are higher levels and aspects of knowledge, that you do not know exist and even begun to acknowledge that that you do not know anything about them.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 3"/> <br />
** So to there are higher and higher levels.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 3"/><br />
<br />
'''Serving Hashem'''<br />
* Most people must server Hashem out of 'fear of punishment', especially at their start.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 5">Sichos HaRan 5</ref><br />
** Without 'fear of punishment' it is impossible to start serving Hashem.<br />
** Even Tzadikim need to rely on fear since those that can constantly serve Hashem from love are very few.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 5"/><br />
** There is a higher level of fear of Hashem's greatness; that Hashem is Master and controls all, but not everyone merits this higher fear.<ref name="Sichos HaRan 5"/><br />
