In the News (from Euronews): “Greece’s financial crisis is exacerbating racial violence according to a report by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees.

“It is sounding the alarm over attacks on immigrants for whom the country has long been a gateway into Europe.

“Giorgos Tsarbopoulos, head of UNHCR Greece, said, ‘The economic situations created a climate where slogans and xenophobic rhetoric and easy solutions that are not solutions of course, of ‘kick them out, let’s take the law into our own hands’ can more easily be propagated in a population which faces problems regarding security and public order.’

“Over recent weeks, the government has been herding illegal immigrants into new detention camps. But a shortage of funds is making it harder to either repatriate them or process asylum requests.”

My Comment: The growth of the Nazi organizations and parties is becoming common. Everything is going according to the Kabbalistic scenario, although it is according to its bad option—the path of suffering—rather than the path of Light, likeness to the Light, through the education of humanity for integration and unification.

Question: What should a person, who is not a natural orator, do if he is unable to be in front of people, to speak and explain things?

Answer: He needs to be paired up with a strong person, to see the way he works, to envy him. Envy is a very powerful driver.

This is why it is absolutely necessary to take him along so that he would see, get inspired, passionate, and jealous that the other one can do it and he cannot. This will advance him. Maybe he will not turn into a lecturer, but he will be able to prepare materials, organize round tables, and take part in the common discussion, instead of spending an hour standing in front of an audience.

There are people who just are not capable of doing it. There are people who simply read lectures written ahead of time, or conduct a lecture according to a thesis. And there are people like me. If there is something written in front of me, I am unable to say anything. This is a known fact.

Question: How can we become professionals of integral upbringing? What is it?

Answer: A professional of integral upbringing, firstly, is one who understands evolution, which we have undergone as the egoistic development of a person and humanity. From generation to generation, we have been developing until the point when our usual human egoism ceased to grow.

It has manifested itself almost in everything and now begins to become round; that is, more and more, we feel greater unity, integrality, and globality of all early affairs, absolute dependence of each other, and, in most cases, this is unwanted.

Corporations with global operations and markets understand what profit they have from this. And humankind, countries, governments, various organizations, and anyone in the world suddenly begin to feel constrained and interconnected with everyone.

Today, in order to provide myself with everything necessary, with what I am used to because I have developed to this level and cannot imagine a normal existence below it, as an ordinary citizen of any country, city, or region, I need to be fully connected with the whole world and feel dependent on everyone.

For example, China supplies special elements, rare metals, to all the countries. But what can we do if it no longer wants to supply them. We will have no computers, no phones, nothing. If somewhere the development of oil fields and all kinds of chemical materials is stopped, we will be left with nothing. That is, the world has been divided into sectors, which become so intertwined that it’s impossible today to imagine a normal existence without proper integral work of the entire world.

Billions of people live in cities, in an artificial society, which they have created and which would be very easy to destroy; it’s enough to break a few links and people will no longer be able to exist in the stone jungles they have built.

Our current state, in general, is clear to many, even to the simplest people, because it’s easy to explain from where we get everything and to whom in turn we deliver it. And from this mutual dependence, which emerged in the era of subsistence farming, first in the family, then in the cities, in factories, and then within the nation, now, no one can isolate himself, and this forces us to think differently.

In the News (from the European Commission): “The European Commission has proposed that 2012 be designated as the ‘European Year for Active Ageing.’

“The initiative aims to help create better job opportunities and working conditions for the growing numbers of older people in Europe, help them take an active role in society and encourage healthy ageing. …

“The EU is in a process of significant population ageing. From 2012, the European working-age population will start to shrink, while the over-60 population will continue to increase by about two million people a year. The strongest pressure is expected to occur during the period 2015-35 when the so-called baby-boom generation will enter retirement. …

“Active ageing includes creating more opportunities for older people to continue working, to stay healthy longer and to continue to contribute to society in other ways, for example through volunteering needs to be supported by a wide range of policies at all levels of governance.”

“The financial crisis has intensified what has long been a simmering problem; what to do about ageing populations with ever fewer workers supporting ever more pensioners, living longer?

“Trying to defuse the demographic timebomb and cut budgets to avert a financial meltdown, governments are further raising the retirement age and reining in benefits. …

“As unions threaten more strikes in the New Year the showdown over pensions is not likely to go away any time soon.” (Source: Euronews)

My Comment: Here, instead of explaining in the process of integral education and upbringing when the same retired and unemployed people could become conscious participants in what is happening now—the process of transformation from an individual egoistic society into an integral society when a person himself changes—the change comes from above, which triggers protest.

Integral education encourages understanding of what is happening now as a natural process of human development, which aims to change today’s humanity as a society of individualists to a society of mutual responsibility and care. Integral education and upbringing of the masses is intended to begin this change consciously (easily, quickly, gently).

Opinion (Peter Schiff, CEO & Chief Global Strategist, Euro Pacific Capital): “I first came to national attention back in 2008 and 2009 when the housing and credit markets imploded. I became known as the guy that other market “experts” laughed at when I warned of trouble brewing in the seemingly indestructible American economy. After the wheels ground to a halt in mid-2008, people noticed that my book Crash Proof, originally released in early 2007, read like a detailed preview of many of the events that eventually unfolded. …

“However, they mistakenly assumed that the crash I was warning about was solely a housing led credit bubble. While that was part of it, I never saw it ending there. The crash that most concerned me was the one that would result from the government’s response to the initial crisis. My concern was not that our economy would succumb to the disease that I had diagnosed, but instead would be taken down by the ‘cure’ that the government unleashed to combat it.

“When the government’s delaying tactic, which involves continuous borrowing and money printing is no longer tenable, the dollar could collapse, interest rates and consumer prices could soar and the U.S. economy could implode. That’s the real crash that I was warning about, and the one we all need to be worried about now. …

“When looking back from a point in the future, I believe that the years immediately after the credit collapse of 2008 will stand out as a period of dangerous economic negligence. We have bought ourselves some time by sweeping enormous problems under the rug. Through a combination of political cowardice, economic ignorance, and false confidence, we are digging ourselves into a hole so deep that it may take generations to crawl out. …

“Immediately prior to the crash, the United States economy was experiencing unprecedented consumer debt levels, persistently high trade deficits, historically large government budget deficits, high-energy prices, and a moribund manufacturing sector. Four years later, all of these problems have gotten worse. And unlike four years ago, we are now saddled with the highest unemployment rate in generations and levels of public debt that would have been unimaginable then. Yes we are no longer technically in recession. But I believe that is just an illusion created by perhaps the cheapest, and most obvious, trick ever devised. …

“I felt certain before writing Crash Proof that the government would never let the economy contract far enough to restore balance and sustainability. I knew the spending and deficits would head off the charts. I thought those realities would push down the dollar and cause foreign creditors to shun American government debt. However, I did not factor in the reprieve we have gotten from the false perception that Europe is in even worse shape than we.

“As the curtain eventually falls on the drama unfolding in Europe, the world will refocus its attention on the more spectacular events in the U.S. The sovereign debt crisis that is now playing out in Europe will cross the Atlantic, and when it opens here The Real Crash may indeed finally begin. The average American will have a front row seat but will hardly enjoy the show.”

My Comment: This time is given to us to organize worldwide centers of integral education and upbringing, to prepare specialists (lecturers, course teachers, tutors, and organizers) to carry out explanatory work. And then we will meet with a distraught society, next to the shattered economy, family, education, and other “achievements” of humanity.

How can you change a person? How can you make his recognition, his understanding, his perception of the world, and his attitude to the world as general and holistic as all the systems?

Only then will we be able to operate together in the right way and to exist harmoniously inside it. Only then can we hope that our advancement is possible one way or the other and that it will continue. It will not be accompanied with a crisis anymore, but will develop in the right direction for humanity. This is why the question about new education and about the changing of man comes up.

First people must be educated integrally, which means providing the necessary amount of essential information and the explanation about the history of humanity and how it reached the current situation.

Then the education itself will be possible. Its goal will be to teach a person certain habits, to feel to what extent his connection with others is good and desired and brings about mutual understanding and the right decisions and a totally new feeling of the self, and to feel the society and nature in a new way. A person will begin to feel the general picture of the whole global integral system he is in.

So first and foremost, it is knowledge, education, and then upbringing. There will be a great demand for people who will bring the people this knowledge and who will actually start teaching it to humanity. So we have to start preparing them now. First they have to go through all these states by themselves, to receive systematic information, and then to feel all the changes that the integral education brings about on themselves.

After studying in courses, they will go through serious practical work on unity and feel for themselves the changes humanity has to go through. This will prepare them to convey this information and these methods to the world.

We have to implement this in all the countries and in every language. And what’s more, there should be a unique method for every group of people that takes into account their mentality, their language, and other factors—a different approach for different people.

Question: Are there any parameters that a city has succeeded in the integral education and upbringing, and a team of visiting specialists may have to leave it?

Answer: You cannot leave a city forever; this cannot even be considered. It’s like a psychologist who never leaves his patient because that is a system that regenerates, restores itself, grows, and various new problems appear in it. That’s life!

Therefore, we still need to keep in touch with the city through the remaining specialists out there. Today, with the help of Internet, you can see the whole city a thousand miles away through video cameras and track what is happening there; that’s not a problem. Of course, it is necessary to keep it under a constant control.

I think that after establishing a relative order in the city, its residents will be interested in keeping it the same way as any decline means a fall in incomes and living standards.

In addition, it is necessary to take into account the nuances of supply management: how to provide for the residents. How do they get a normal, rational income that covers costs of living? It is not just giving out money—that’s wrong. Food deliveries must be carried out at regular intervals. In general, it is necessary to help people make their life as easy as possible and at the same time, prevent any problems with food stamps, money, and etc.

Question: How much should crime decrease in a city where we have implemented integral education, so we can we be certain that the work carried out on 10-20%?

Answer: I think that the process of the integral upbringing is endless. We must constantly advance people forward. The city should develop all the time in its spiritual property, in unity. Therefore, a service of integral upbringing has to constantly work there. It should include a few dozen people working in integral education, taking classes, training sessions, and quizzes.

First of all, such events should take place in every school or extended day program where students will receive the integral upbringing. This is a completely different type of instruction. These are not school drills in front of a teacher, but rather discussions of problems in a circle with a psychologist. Such work is very productive, and it gives serious results.

Question: Suppose that the integral program of study has been calculated to include 100 hours a month and one of the participants is absent from the study for a justified reason of being sick or his child being sick. What should be done with him, since he exited the learning process and can’t catch up?

Answer: Thanks to the learning process being conducted virtually through local communication media, TV, and radio, it will make it possible to repeat all the programs several times a day. Thus, there won’t be cases of seriously being behind.

Even if a person is ill or needs to stay home in order to take care of a child, etc., still there will be opportunities to advance together with the group, but maybe at a different pace. But in any case, he will be present at the lessons, which will prevent him from falling behind to a great extent.

It seems to me that we need to get people used to virtual studying, that they will receive more from the screen, and that it doesn’t matter that one of the participants doesn’t come to the group if he has a justified reason. In any case, he can receive the same information if he stays at home because of illness. And afterward he will be integrated naturally into the group and take a test. It won’t be a problem.

Besides that, it is forbidden to reject mutual assistance, since people are learning a special subject in which mutual help constitutes its principle, and actually one pulls the other.
