In the News: (Fondsk): “Unconditional basic income, or bank-oligarchic dictatorship abbreviated AML ( ‘unconditional basic income’) is now in vogue among those who study and describe the emerging trends in social policy. AML can be defined as a guaranteed monetary income for every citizen, the receipt of which is not dependent on any preconditions. The only condition is that the person belongs to a particular state jurisdiction. At the same time, the amount of money received by a citizen, must provide him at least a minimum standard of living. In other words, the AML is to release a person from being a ‘slave’, depending on work as the source of his existence. …

“If we sum up the expectations ascribed to AML, they can be summarized as follows:

• Poverty reduction and mitigation of social and property polarization;
• Mitigation of the possible negative consequences of scientific and technological progress, which in the coming decades can dramatically reduce the needs of the economy for labor and significantly increase the scale of unemployment;
• Reducing the ‘slave’ according to a person to work as a source of its existence, and at the same time creating conditions that could help a person to devote himself to his favorite occupation;
• Reducing the burden on the state, which has to deal with the distribution of social assistance today. …

“Therefore, skeptics say that the AML system can trigger an increase in poverty. From the introduction of AML only those who are at the bottom will benefit . There will be a leveling effect of poverty at a total absolute and relative increase in the number of poor in the society.

“Other skeptics emphasize that economic growth would slow down or even recession begins. People prefer an idle life, reserve of army labor will be reduced and may even result in a shortage of workers. And to overcome this deficit will require higher wages in the economy. Simply put, the economic development will be complicated for the reason that the money from production will be reallocated in the sphere of consumption, violating the established proportions of the economy.

“There is another large group of skeptics who fear that the introduction of AML will stimulate immigration of large masses of people to the countries with the AML system. …

“The elimination of social programs and a sharp reduction of the state apparatus and officials who serve, would provide the lion’s share of the money needed for AML payments. …

“I will assume that the interest of Western society in programs of ‘unconditional basic income’ (AML), are warmed by the global oligarchy. This is part of the overall project of transition to a new world order. The model of capitalism today, for many reasons, has exhausted itself, and the world oligarchy … is launching its global ‘restructuring’. Namely: to build a new slave system, clean up the planet of the ‘surplus’ population and form of a ‘new man.’ …

“AML – is a continuation of the course of the global elite toward human decomposition. First, the owners of money cultivated greed and the desire to consume, and now the cult of idleness. Man is easily definitively transformed into an animal. AML is intended to speed up the process….

“In addition, AML is a means for the final dismantling of the state. … People are left alone with the giant corporations, which are gradually replacing the state. In fact, AML – is not absolute income. It is very dependent on the will and the decisions of the owners of money, which is enough to hold their Kabbalistic manipulations with the money, so they became worthless.”

My Comment: Where did they get “Kabbalistic manipulations”? From a global conspiracy?

The fears will become true if the unconditional income would be given without implementing it hand-in-hand with integral education, warns the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Research (Oregon State University): “Researchers have discovered a mechanism of intercellular communication that helps explain how biological systems and actions – ranging from a beating heart to the ability to hit a home run – function properly most of the time, and in some scenarios quite remarkably.

“The findings are an important basic advance in how cell sensory systems function. They shed light on the poorly-understood interaction between cells – and they also suggest that some of the damage done by cancer cells can be seen as a ‘failure to communicate.’ …

“By working in communication and collaboration, most of the cells eventually decide what the correct sensory input is, and the signal that gets passed along is pretty accurate. …

“‘These processes of collective sensory communication are usually accurate, but sometimes work better than others. Mistakes are made,’ Sun said. ‘Even so, this process makes life possible.’”

My Comment: The proper interaction between all parts of nature is life. But it doesn’t exist on the level of human interaction. Therefore, in the overall picture of nature, we are no more than animals; we do not have the correct mutual communication of the human level. When we acquire it, through the wisdom of Kabbalah, we will discover life on the level of Man (Adam).

New Life 774 – Jewish Demography
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

The birth rate in Israel is high because we are living in an optimistic bubble and are unaware of danger. We are unaware of our mission in the world and that we are not sufficiently carrying it out. Our mission is to show the world how to live in connection and love.

The Jews of the Diaspora are renouncing Israel; the Jews who are not religious will continue to disappear from the fold of Judaism. This is a process that is leading to the point where we will realize that we have nothing to rely upon except ourselves, and then we will begin to act.

There are Jews just about everywhere in the world because the Light shines through them onto the world. This is the life force and its vitality. The Jews need to spread the value of connection to connect all of humanity into one big soul.

Torah, Deuteronomy 11:19: And you shall teach them to your sons to speak with them, when you sit in your house and when you walk on the way and when you lie down and when you rise, in other words in all the cases: either in the small or great spiritual state.

The small state is a horizontal one, associated with a person lying down; the big state is a high one, when he gets up. To “walk on the way” means to rise in spiritual ascent. In any state, we must remember about these conditions and implement them.

Sons are  a person’s future spiritual degrees. “Teach them to your sons” means to record on the future states what you’ve done now, to educate yourselves and move forward.

Question: If the wisdom of Kabbalah is an exact science, what does it say about planet Earth? Is it actually a planet? Six months ago, I came across a theory that the Earth is flat. At first it seemed like total nonsense, but then I somehow began to understand its essence and wanted to know what the wisdom of Kabbalah says about it.

Answer: Kabbalah explains things scientifically and always has believed, just like today’s modern science, even in ancient times, as it says in The Book of Zohar, the Earth is round.

Question: May I ask why I understand a lot, but cannot remember? No matter how hard I try, I do not succeed. It is as if someone erases my memory.

Answer: This is wonderful because we don’t need to know; we need to discover a new attribute inside us in which we will begin to feel the upper world in the same way we feel our world.

In the News (YourNewsWire.com): “Wakingtimes reports:
The world’s people are held in perpetual bondage to the fiat currency money masters who have saddled us with absolutely insurmountable debt obligations which are mathematically impossible to repay. At present, the CIA estimates the total global debt to be nearing $90 trillion. …

“The gross world product, the nominal value of planetary human endeavor per year, was recently estimated at $78 trillion, meaning nearly an entire year of the productivity of every man, woman and child on planet earth, some 7.4 billion people, is owed to someone, but who exactly no one really knows for sure. How is this possible? …

“After years of investigative research into the trillions of dollars missing from the U.S. government, former Wall Street banker and former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Federal Housing Commissioner at the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development in the first Bush Administration, Catherine Austin Fitts has come to the conclusion that global debt may very well be owned by off-planet entities who operate planet earth as a real estate investment.

“‘Is earth an open or closed economy? I went to business school, I worked on Wall Street for eleven years, you know I’ve been involved in the economy my whole life and the whole time I was invited to assume that earth was a closed economy. So, if we issued debt, then other humans owned that debt. If we issued stock, other humans owned that stock. But if you look at all the economic experiences I’ve had over my whole life, in government, businesses, everything else, what I will tell you is, you know, if you ask me to describe the economic model on planet earth, I would say, “well planet earth is a real estate investment trust because we’re paying a dividend some place every year, and I don’t know where it’s going. It’s going into that question mark, on the planetary balance sheet.”’

“While she admits that she herself does not have the answer to this rather serious question, the fact that each year a major portion of the world’s productivity evaporates into thin air, with no accountability whatsoever, does indeed beg this question to be asked by any serious economist. Even the government accounting agencies responsible for tracking and recording our expenditures can do nothing to answer the question. The money simply vanishes, the debt grows exponentially, and no one can explain who exactly the beneficiary is.

“‘Let me bring it down to some of the important questions you have to ask if you ask the question, “is this an open or closed economy.” I got great statistics on who would issue debt, but for the life of me I couldn’t get great statistics on who owned it. I don’t know who owns it. I know they control. And they control through the debt because that’s how you control a company in invisible ways, by controlling through the debt. Who owns the debt?…” ~ Catherine Austin Fitts”

My Comment: This global world product is swallowed by global egoism! Moreover, our planet is not a closed system because egoism is universal, yet we haven’t cancelled it and replaced it with altruism. Egoism will continue to swallow our efforts without giving us any answers about income or debt. If we add the efficiency of our efforts and sufferings, etc., the collateral damage, it becomes clear that there isn’t a less productive enterprise than life in an egoistic mode.

Comment: More and more European youth do not to work and prefer receiving social benefits. This is particularly widespread in Italy, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, and Ireland. It was customarily thought that the economic crisis would displace inefficient people and the young would go forward, begin to study, develop a career, and take their place. But the youth actually prefer to sit on welfare.

My Comment: The reason for this is not that people are lazy. They have no incentive and so they become lazy. Everything depends on whether or not there is something that lights up a person’s egoism. Money and a career no longer provide a person with an incentive, they don’t pull him forward. This is no longer the candy he would run toward, like a child.

Question: So what does a person do when he sits receiving public welfare?

Answer: Nothing, he sits from morning to evening on Facebook, his whole life. We see what is happening there. And what will happen when this is over?! It is frightening to even think about!

It is only possible to imagine what kind of deep cry from billions of people will break out from total darkness. They won’t have anything to fulfill themselves!

I would not want to live during this period. A person moves through a state where he is unable to hear; he must realize and feel that he no longer grasps anything. He is imprisoned within himself. There are stars, but they don’t release the light, and here nothing enters. One has no desire. One is so extinguished that he doesn’t even absorb sounds from the outside.

Our future could become so dark.

I hope that before this happens, people will begin to study the wisdom of Kabbalah and will understand that the meaning of life is truly discovered within it. I hope that I am preparing the ground for this because this is the remedy.

What is important is that humanity move toward us. They have nowhere to turn. They will come and stand by our gate and shout: “Give!”

Question: Why when studying Kabbalah are descents referred to as egoism, isn’t it ordinary depression?

Answer: It seems to you that it’s depression. You experience an unknown feeling, i.e., you aren’t interested, it doesn’t attract you, but actually it is not the usual depression of lack of taste for the world, but a real immersion into darkness.

This is impenetrable darkness, the feeling of the absence of desire for anything whatsoever. In other words, egoism has been added.

Man begins his life in Kabbalah at the state of “zero,” with the normal animal egoism toward this world with desires for food, sex, entertainment, money, control, and knowledge. This is his initial position (DR).

Then, he reaches the wisdom of Kabbalah and experiences a certain ascent, he is included in the group, ready for anything, life is wonderful, and everything is good. He has found himself. Until then he was somewhat sad, something was missing, the meaning of life, etc. And here is the first ascent, “I have found it!”

But then he falls into the opposite state that sucks him as if in a black hole. It is a vacuum that pulls all his strength from within, the person can hardly turn his head, he has nothing to live for. It’s like he was hit in the head with a bag of dust and he feels dust in his head and his heart. He begins to experience ups and downs, ups and downs.

It’s important to understand that the attainment of the upper world is built on the absence of the egoistic desire for it. Thus, the wisdom of Kabbalah is called, “the wisdom of how to receive.”

And without egoism, how can I receive something? How without desire, without a burning yearning to be a real and healthy egoist can I grasp and capture the upper world?

A normal person wants to eat, to walk, to dive into his cell phone, or to talk to someone. But it isn’t possible to conquer the spiritual world in this way. For this, one needs a different weapon, a huge desire. When I’m burning, I’m ready for anything, I want to obtain the upper world.

And so egoism is added, to the state of egoism number 2. And thanks to that, I rise to state number 3.  Because of state 3, I descend even lower to state 4, and then rise to state 5, and again descend further downward. After a huge number of descents and ascents, I attain, for example, state 9.

And when I’m in the lowest state, a terrible and unpleasant state, I experience fear, defeat, and a feeling that “death is better than this life.” This is the parting with our corporeal egoism, while we are still alive.

When a person accumulates a certain number of ascents and descents, he rises to point 10. Comparing points 9 and 10, I see that all of this really comes from the Creator, “There is none else besides Him” and “He is Good and Does Good.” And this is faith above reason because reason (knowledge) is within egoism, and faith is in the property of bestowal.

So this is the first time that I build a spiritual Partzuf, a drop of semen, the embryo of the soul.

With this begins the birth of the soul. And whoever reaches this degree is already on the way! And whoever hasn’t reached it can say whatever he wants. Interestingly, people who are in the middle of the path but haven’t reached the 10^th point often leave the study of Kabbalah. They begin to curse the wisdom of Kabbalah, me, our system.

We need to understand that the spiritual world is not what it appears to you; it is perceived according to the method described in the authentic Kabbalistic sources.
