#Fukuyama: #Democracy has gone wrong.
Well how else can it go if it is but freely developing egoism? Hence it leads to ego’s development and disintegration of families, nations, etc. into constituent parts. Next: realization of #egoism as evil and its correction by #Kabbalah.
Baal HaSulam, Letter 9: “To this day I wish to do this difficult work, and I am ready to undertake it even for 70 years in a row, even without seeing any success in it, and devote all the days of my life to it ….
… only to be sure that I am following the path of adhesion with the Creator, which I came to know earlier.”
Baal HaSulam, Letter 32: “The Creator is in the heart of every person who aspires to Him. But that is from His side. What, then, does man lack? Only to know this. Because knowing this completes everything and leads to perfection.”
How close is the Creator to you? As much as you turn to Him and are close to Him. Since He is the one evoking these feelings in you. So do everything to turn His attention to you. The Creator is your shadow. Try to feel His work on you in everything …
… Avodat HaShem, the Creator’s work.

Question: What is the path of Kabbalah?
Answer: The path of Kabbalah is the middle line.
The left line is the path of egoism and the right line is the path of bestowal. We cannot move in either one because both of these lines come from above. They are the forces of our development, and we are arranged so as to correctly combine them with each other.
The ability to combine the right and left lines and move in the middle line is the result of all our efforts.

New Life 151 – Socioeconomic Gaps

Summary
Happiness is really a divine product. We all have a much higher standard of living than we had 50 years ago but there is no joy. We are divided, distant, and alienated from one another. The growing human ego demands something new. We haven’t yet digested what it is. We can’t fill ourselves and are no longer satisfied with material attainments, no matter how wealthy we are. Technology frees most of us from the need to work and yet, we are left without much of a reason for living alone. The source of the new happiness is found on the social level of human life. We lack warmth and heart-to-heart connection like a child in his mother’s lap. We used to live in a family and today we need to us to embrace the whole world as family. The gaps between us will remain but the feeling of family and mutual concern will soon be awakened between everyone.

Question: To whom of those living on earth is the Creator good that does good? How and with what do these people compensate the negative side of the system of governance?
Answer: The Creator is good that does good to the ones who feel it. There is no favoritism here as if to someone He is good and to someone else bad. He presents the same conditions for everyone.
It is just that each of us has his or her own individual soul and depending on its development, a person feels the influence of the Creator. Perhaps this impact is still quite neutral and distant, which does not particularly bother him, and therefore, he does not ask such questions. Nevertheless, everything that people do, they do only under the influence of the Creator.
There are people who already feel that it comes from someone and they begin to search.
And there are those who already reveal who causes all these sensations and movements in them, who controls them. Thus, through their inner work, they attain the Creator.

Question: There are events we perceive as right or wrong, good or evil. Does it depend on our perception? Or is there a system of good and evil?
Answer: Evil does not exist. And the so-called negative effects are needed only to push us toward the goal of creation, to set us in motion.
If you feel any impact on yourself, you should first relate it to the Creator and try to unite with your friends even more despite this influence. And then, look at what happens with the negative impact: does it remain or gradually disappear like fog. From this, you will begin to experience the Creator’s game. This is not psychology but forces that act in nature.
So first try to resolve any negative effects in the group, in greater connection with each other.
This is what we do at every daily Kabbalah lesson. Watch our lessons sometimes even if at first they seem difficult, confusing, too private to you. In these lessons we study the impact of the Creator on us and our correct reaction, which leads us to the goal—to the revelation of the Creator.
To reveal the Creator is to reveal the system of governance, to reveal the cause of what is happening in us, with us, yesterday, tomorrow, before life, after death, etc. This is the subject of the science of Kabbalah.

Rabash, “The Agenda of the Assembly”: Each one should seriously consider the purpose of the gathering—that it should bring about a sensation, following the assembly of friends, that each one has something in his hand which he can put in his vessels, and that he is not in the form of, “But do not put any in your vessels.” Each one should consider that if he does not sit especially attentive during the assembly, not only does he himself lose, but he also corrupts the whole of society.
To the extent that a person can receive from the whole group, he can also under-deliver, that is, bring harm to it.
Question: Is that the fear that a person should have?
Answer: Definitely. It is considered to be his achievement or vice versa. In general, he can go either to the plus or the minus in relation to the group.
Question: So if I don’t invest toward the goal in relation to the group, do I fear that my actions will harm it?
Answer: Fear is not the issue. The fact is that every positive or negative result stems from what you invested into or took from the group. By taking, it means you introduced a negative force of moving forward to the group. But by investing in it, you create a positive force of advancement.
Practically, you take nothing for yourself. However much of the positive or negative force you brought into the group should be measured, and that is what is yours. That is, the group feels the result of your actions, and it stays there.
The negative force means criticism, various arguments, and descents, including personal ones. Positive forces are high spirits, security on the path, inspiration, etc.
Both, positive and negative states should be brought together. But the negative ones should be scrutinized and applied to our work.
Question: How can we bring the negative states into the group correctly?
Answer: If you scrutinize them correctly, the group will benefit from it. There can be no advancement without positive and negative factors.
