Kabbalah Today – Issue 20
Posted on February 10th, 2009
In the News (from Mail Online): “One family kicked out of their home every 10 minutes as repossessions rocket 92%” One family is being kicked out of their home every ten minutes [in England]. The economic crisis has got dramatically worse since September, which means even more families will now be losing their battle to keep their home. With 85 firms going bust every day, unemployment is rising, which is one of the most common triggers for losing your home.
My Comment: When will people start looking for those responsible, and find that they are the ones to blame – and then correct themselves!?

This is a cartoon called “Israel’s Aggression” from 1956. Not much has changed…
In the News (from The New York Times): Despite the pledges to encourage international trade and economic cooperation that accompanied the closing sessions of the gathering, the World Economic Forum on Sunday, there were clear signs that deep divisions between the United States and the rest of the world remained. …foreign officials warned that any move toward protectionism would have serious consequences for Washington and the rest of the world.
For all the global affection for Mr. Obama, Washington sent a relatively low-profile contingent to Davos, with Valerie Jarrett, a White House advisor, serving as the administration’s headliner here… “The irony of the situation,” said Mr. Haass, of the Council on Foreign Relations, “is that everyone is still looking to the U.S. for leadership to fix things or at least make things better.”
My Comment: America will not save the world, because it doesn’t know how. It’s just that others will run out of money before the US will.
Diagnosis: an aggravation of egoism, which has evolved into a global form of egoistic connection between people.
Course of the illness: it’s getting worse.
Treatment: since egoism is the basis of life and is the nature of our world, it’s impossible to get rid of it. We must only find the method of using it correctly, so that instead of harming others it will benefit them. Then we will restore the proper connections between all people and the crisis will disappear, since it is a consequence of the wrong connections between us.

In the News (from Nine News): “’Catastrophic’ sun storm possible, NASA warns” A once-in-a-century solar storm would threaten catastrophic destruction if a worst-case scenario event transpired, a new NASA report has found… Governments would be powerless to curb the loss of crucial infrastructure, potentially crippling our way of life … scientists warn the consequences would be far more serious because modern technologies have made our infrastructure more inter-reliant.
My Comment: Because we disturb Nature’s balance, we should expect all kinds of negative influences from It – consequences of the imbalanced state. Our lives and well-being on the planet depend on us bringing Nature into balance. Kabbalah explains how to do this: by changing man’s consciousness from egoistic to altruistic. Kabbalah gives us the means to make the transition to the new state quickly and easily.

From Chaos to Harmony: Chapter 4 – “Breaching the Balance“
A question I received: Many people around me are experiencing failures in different areas, including money, their feelings, and family relationships. Should a person try to figure out where and how he made a mistake? In other words, should he view his current state as being strictly individual and directly dependent on his own actions? Or, should he begin studying the wisdom of Kabbalah and expect inner changes to happen to him as a result of the Light’s influence, without worrying about what he did or failed to do, and what brought him to this problem?
My Answer: Since we are all interconnected, no one is personally responsible for what is happening in the world or to them personally, because everything is pre-programmed and descends from Above. We have to react to things realistically on the corporeal level and, at the same time, correct ourselves on the spiritual level. This is how we unite the two worlds, unifying the Creator’s governance of us through the influences of “Havayah-Elokim.”

In the News: (from Vladivostok Times): “There Are No Vacancies for Humanists, Fursenko Says” There are no vacancies for humanists now, the Minister for Education and Science Andrey Fursenko said…The Minister explained that it is a question of 1.8 million economists and about 900,000 humanists, including 750,000 lawyers… Fursenko said that it is necessary to redirect students for getting called-for professions… According to HeadHunter monitoring, at the end of 2008 the number of applicants for the lawyer was six times as much as vacancies, the number of applicants for the economist was seven times as much.
My Comment: In order to make plans, we must have knowledge of the general system of interactions in the world (in a closed system), and our plans must account for the need for new relationships. Specialists should acquire knowledge of the global laws of nature and act according to these laws, rather than according to some made-up, artificial “regulator.” Then there will be jobs for everyone.
