Research (from sci-news.com): “’Bacteria living in communities communicate with one another electrically through proteins called ‘ion channels,’ explained Dr Gürol Süel of the University of California San Diego, lead author on the study…

“Dr Süel and co-authors discovered that when a biofilm composed of Bacillus subtilis bacterial cells grows to a certain size, the protective outer edge of cells, with unrestricted access to nutrients, periodically stopped growing to allow nutrients – specifically glutamate, to flow to the sheltered center of the biofilm.

“The researchers observed oscillations in membrane potential that matched the oscillations in biofilm growth and found that ion channels were responsible for these changes in membrane potential…

“’Just like the neurons in our brain, we found that bacteria use ion channels to communicate with each other through electrical signals. In this way, the community of bacteria within biofilms appears to function much like a microbial brain,’ Dr Süel said.”

My Comment: All parts of nature (still, vegetative, and animate) are mutually and integrally linked. Only human desires and thoughts are absolutely egoistic. As it is written: “I created the evil inclination” (Kiddushin 30b), meaning there is nothing more we need to do!

To counterbalance the evil inclination, egoism, a man needs to desire the lack for the desire to bestow to others. Mutual bestowal exists instinctively in nature. It does not exist in human society.

However, a person can summon the power of bestowal according to the law of equivalence of form: if a group of people decides to relate to each other as a single whole (this is described in the articles of Rabash about the group) and examines the proper relationship between the system (which is the whole issue of Kabbalistic sources), they cause to themselves, through their actions, the manifestation of the positive force of love and bestowal (the Creator).

Everything that occurs in our world happens only for the purpose of forcing people, or rather the Jews, having been committed in the past, to reveal the Creator between them, and then transfer this methodology to all mankind. The delay in revealing this technique is the reason for hatred of the Jews. This is the cause of anti-Semitism. Let us be like the bacteria!
