There Is No Reality

The world does not have a reality of its own – man’s uncorrected perception paints the world for him.

In developed countries, globalization is already unpopular:
The right – defend the economy and the trade industry from foreign products.
The left – support unions, which see international competition as an unemployment threat, and imported goods and immigrants bring about lower wages.
Since the parties seek electoral votes, they start showing dissent toward globalization, multinational corporations and international banks. Antiglobalism appears, a movement toward the resurgence of the nation and against international goods and immigrants. This process results in fascism and Nazism, just like it had emerged in early 20th century Germany.

Scientists have discovered that the appendix, which used to be considered a useless and even problematic organ, plays an important role in a persons’ immune system: It serves as a place for the appearance of bacteria, which are necessary for proper intestinal function.

A person in our world, due to his limits, doesn’t understand how fragmented his knowledge of the world is – but uses it to draw conclusions about the world. It thus seems to him that certain things in nature are redundant, unnecessary, and that some occurrences or properties are even harmful; and he wants to get rid of them. He doesn’t understand that evil – is only within him, in his egoism – and besides his egoism, the whole of nature exists in harmony. It is precisely because of his egoism that man is unable to see, feel and enjoy such harmony. [Read more →]
Originally, one soul of Adam was created, which divided into 600,000 souls, each of which divides into a great number of sparks.
However, the spiritual doesn’t divide into parts. Therefore, in reality there exists only one soul of Adam and it is contained wholly within each individual. The soul is divided into 600,000 parts by man’s egoism.
Initially, egoism expels and distances the Light from the soul. But if the ego undergoes correction through the study of Kabbalah, then the common soul shines in it.
Therefore, there are various circumstances with regard to the person:
1. He feels his individual soul and doesn’t understand that it is – the common soul,
2. Corresponding to the level of unity with the souls, the Light of the common soul shines within him,
3. When egoism is completely corrected, he feels that his soul exists in everyone, and the common soul shines for him to the fullest degree, as it does in Adam.
From here the three periods of man’s spiritual growth are created:
1. A spark of the soul,
2. The individual soul – perceives itself to be a part of the common soul, which brings about a feeling of lovesickness,
3. Approaches perfection in bestowing to the Creator; connects to the common soul. [Read more →]
A cannibal can’t sleep; he turns in his bed and sighs. His wife pokes him on the side: “Why aren’t you sleeping?” The cannibal sighs: “A question is bothering me: ‘What is the meaning of life?‘ His wife responds, reproachfully: “I told you, old fool, don’t eat Kabbalists!”
Scientists Prescribe: A Pill for Greed
Greed – is not a defect, but an attribute of the body. A hormone called oxytocin is responsible for expressions of generosity – discovered American biochemists.
In order to prove this hypothesis, the scientists carried out an experiment: the first group of volunteers were given oxytocin, the second – a placebo. Then, all the participants were offered to help a stranger in need. Those who took the pill gave the stranger 80% more money than the others.
So, altruism shifted from a moral category to a hormonal one. And as it seems, the pill for greed will soon be available in pharmacies.
What’s your opinion?
Is it possible to find a remedy for our egoism, for all of its collective manifestations – envy, vanity, pride, grandeur, power and so on – for all of them together? Suppress them – and what would come out of it, what kind of a person would you be? Would you want this kind of transformation for yourself?

You know, I’m a member of the Club of Budapest, which was allegedly created as continuation of the Club of Rome.
So, the founder of the Club of Rome, Aurelio Peccei, wrote that humanity’s problem, in this stage of its evolution, doesn’t lie in the oncoming crisis but in changing human consciousness. The world changes – we don’t. Therefore, the source of the crisis is inside us – not outside.

Recently I’ve discovered that people are increasingly realizing civilization’s movement toward self-destruction. But at the same time, the impossibility to prevent this process is being revealed. The general crisis in all facets of human life does not leave hope for a good future.
Kabbalah says that this is the best possible state for humanity, because it will give birth to a new civilization, one that will be based on a completely different mindset and perception of reality.
Humanity’s transition from our state into the new one is possible through:
– destruction of the old and birth of the new – which is painful and long,
or
– recognizing the necessity of such a transition, to organize it ourselves.
Kabbalah tells us about the second path. However, its realization is possible only through its recognition and acceptance by the majority of our planet’s inhabitants.
What do you think, is it possible?
