Newsmax: “Trumps Trade War Hits Global Politics’ Reset Button”


The largest portal Newsmax published my new article “Trumps Trade War Hits Global Politics’ Reset Button”

Sticking to his Buy American, Hire American motto, President Trump continues his trade war against the world. Not just against those he defines as economic enemies such as China, but also against countries who were considered longtime allies and loyal partners such as Canada. Mexico and the European countries are the most recent to find themselves in economic conflicts with Trump and his tariffs.

While Trump’s goal is to bring back American production and American jobs, the effects of his actions ripple throughout the global landscape.

Firstly, our world is in a developing crisis, and various interconnections being forged by powerful global players who shape the world’s economy, politics and media only deepen the crisis, as they are all driven by the human ego, seeking to maximize personal gain. When Trump weakens such global connections, he is helping preventing the crisis from spiraling out of control.

In other words, ruling elites are attempting to lock in their financial control by making various international trade agreements, which ultimately strip the people of the world from their wealth. They create the facade of economic progress in some developing countries, but in reality, most of the profits go to the elites, and most of the burden falls on the masses.

Trump’s moves, while aiming to safeguard America’s competitive edge, represent an opposite approach to global affairs, tearing down international connections or preventing them from strengthening.

Therefore, while many analysts typically claim that Trump is creating tension and conflicts, he actually stands in the way of global players who further global instability.

Additionally, with every passing day, the world is becoming more globally interdependent. Whether we like it or not, it will necessitate a new basis for connection between people and countries, a new model by which human society can organize itself.

Trump plays an interesting role in this social evolution. He is helping global politics go through a reset stage. His direct and vulgar character is contrary to the politics we’re used to, and thus helps take the air out of ideological bubbles that were fueled by the politically correct mentality. As a result, Mr. Trump is stifling the use of empty words and promotion of so-called values by politicians as their ticket to power.

What’s more, his pragmatic, business-oriented approach, pushing aside mannerisms and focusing on getting the best deal, makes the other countries revert to a simple and direct give-and-take mode of behavior. That is, countries are becoming more focused on what they give to and receive from each other. This helps the global reset needed to form new connections in the future.

Who Reveals The Creator?

laitman_940Question: What does it mean to correctly respond to what the Creator sends?

Answer: The correct response is a constant feeling that you have contact with Him.

Question: How can one understand that it comes from the Creator? Maybe it just seems this way to me?

Answer: Whatever happens, imagine that it comes only from the Creator. But it is better to do this with your friends.

Question: Who exactly reveals the Creator?

Answer: The Creator is revealed by the one who, as a result of his development in the group, has reached a state where he feels that his desire and the desire of the other can conjugate and work together in a unified system. Then, between these two desires, the property of connection arises—this is already the beginning of the revelation of the Creator.

Two Vectors Of The Universe

Laitman_168Question: How are egoism and altruism defined?

Answer: Baal HaSulam defines egoism as self-love, when a person wants to fill himself as much as possible in spite of all others, without reckoning with anyone.

Altruism is a desire to fill another person, giving away everything you can, in spite of yourself—not to please yourself, but to please the desire of a friend.

There are only two vectors in the universe: a force directed either toward oneself or toward others. Their combination generates everything that exists in nature at all levels: inanimate, vegetative, animal, and human.

Question: Why was such a multi-level system created?

Answer: Four levels of nature personify the four stages of the development of direct Light. Inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human nature correspond to the first, second, third, and fourth levels of desire.

Communication Through A Single Brain Of The Universe

laitman_594In the News (Daily Mail): “Professor Moran Cerf from Northwestern University says…

“Choosing the right friends is important because it causes our brainwaves to resemble those of the people we spend most time with. …

“This means you start becoming alike, and pick up their desirable behaviours and ways of seeing the world without being conscious of it.

“’The more we study engagement, we see time and again that just being next to certain people actually aligns your brain with them’, he said.

“’This means the people you hang out with actually have an impact on your engagement with reality beyond what you can explain. And one of the effects is you become alike.’

“Researchers have previously suggested this ‘neural coupling’ is a key part of communication.

“If we are on the same wavelength as someone else we can anticipate what they might say and therefore understand them better.

“This in turn has an evolutionary advantage as it means we work better and faster as a team.”

My Comment: In fact, our brain communicates with the general mind of the universe. We are connected to it like modems. There is an immense system between us and everyone receives information through it.

“Direct” communication is often an illusion. What I say and what comes to the listener is not the same thing. The main influence of the environment passes through different channels.

This is why I want my students to study according to one system, from the same sources, read my blog, Twitter and so on. Only in this way do we get closer to each other.

New Life 1005 – The Right Approach To Life, Part 2
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

The right approach to life is to discover the secret of life, which is the power of love and bestowal. The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us how to discover this power by connecting to the people in our lives. The higher power is revealed through our unity. This differs from other approaches, which teach that “everything is for the best” and “everything is a lesson.” With the discovery of the Creator, a person understands what activates him, where he is being led, and how to have an ongoing connection with the Creator.

My Thoughts On Twitter 6/7/18

Dr Michael Laitman Twitter

#ZOHAR (Pikudey 840): “Before death, the angel of death appears before man.” When we unite, the force of resistance against the unification of the soul is revealed. This is the angel of ego’s death. The egoistic man in us dies, and the soul is restored!
#Spiritualwork #Kabbalah

Faith above reason is the sensation that bestowal is above reception, the Creator’s importance is above that of creation and all reality. One starts to feel that he has a new concern: to do something for the Creator’s benefit.
#Spiritualwork_ML #Kabbalah

That is why The Book of #Zohar was concealed, for the forces contained therein encompass the height of all 125 degrees. #BaalHaSulam

RASHBI and his students have attained all 125 degrees from our world to complete correction. It is written in the #Zohar that such a generation shall appear in our time.

#Lies and #sensation in the news
#Egoism is fed by interesting, exciting lies. It loves evil and deception.
Only by rising above ourselves, above the lies, to a new, perfect state, can we check ourselves and see ourselves according to the true nature, where there are no mistakes.

A person can’t be controlled by #money or #power, but only by #upbringing. A new worldview that will reveal to a person the system of interconnections in which he lives, will teach him to feel and understand himself from within.

In overcoming the ego, the force of unity becomes 620 times greater than before the soul’s breaking.
#Spiritualwork_ML #Kabbalah

Uniting the broken soul of Adam is of highest importance. Not correcting each individual part, but connecting them together! In the attempts to unite, the force of resistance is revealed—everyone’s ego (Yetzer Ra).

The wisdom of The Book of Zohar has been concealed through our time, and in the last generation it shall be revealed to all. (MARHU)
#ZOHAR

When the time of the Messiah’s coming draws near, even babies in the world shall reveal the secrets of #Kabbalah. In that time it will be revealed to all. (Zohar, Vaera) #ZOHAR

Create The Creator Within Yourself

Laitman_509Question: What does it mean that we create the Creator?

Answer: In reality there is no Creator. The extent to which I can sense the upper Light and correct myself to be similar to it is the part within me that is called the Creator or Boreh (“bo-reh” – come and see).

The revelation of the Creator occurs according to my properties becoming similar to His properties. If there are no such properties currently within me, then there is no Creator within me.

Question: On one hand you say that we create the Creator within us. On the other hand, you say that the Creator does everything: all thoughts come from Him and He controls all people’s actions. There is a contradiction here. How can it be resolved?

Answer: It is very simple. As a matter of fact, the Creator acts the same way I act toward Him. He is the unchangeable force that fills everything, preserves everything within Him, and becomes revealed only to the extent that I move toward Him.
