My new article on Linkedin “30 Years after the Soviet Union Dissolved, Did the World Benefit?”

30 years after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it is still looking for a new path. Its disintegration has rocked the world, but it has not made it safer or more stable. Humanity is still in the midst of a global change.

30 years ago, on December 26, 1991, to be exact, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), aka the Soviet Union, dissolved into the states that comprised it. The republics left the union and Russia’s subordinate states became independent and began to fight against each other or joined their former arch-rival, NATO. Thirty years later, Russia is still looking for its way, and still craving world dominance.

I cannot say that the disintegration of the USSR has made the world a better place. Although it was a poor superpower, it was a superpower nonetheless, and the member-nations in it knew where they stood.

Although it was not a democracy, it was solid, and in today’s tumultuous times, that, too, has merit. It may be good that the countries that comprised the Soviet Union have become independent, but until they reap the benefits from their independence, they will continue to be perilously unstable.

No one knows what the future holds for Russia, but it is clear that the situation is becoming increasingly precarious and threatens its stability. At the same time, the US is also losing steam. Despite being a democracy, and having economic superiority, America, too, is falling.

So, on the one hand, the Russian economy is unstable, and on the other hand, the American democracy does not meet the demands of today’s world. As a result, China is stronger than both America and Russia.

The European Union is completely out of the picture. The “union” has become a composite of thirty or so countries that cannot agree on anything. As a result, the EU has lost its status as a significant player in the world arena.

This leaves the world with many question marks. If we add to it the Middle East, which is a snake pit, there is not much to look forward to, despite the temporary quiet.

I cannot say that the world would be any better had the USSR not been dissolved. Nevertheless, it is clear that while it was intact, it had advanced science and industry, and it sustained itself, even if poorly, and toward the end very poorly.

Still, times are changing, and there are always fluctuations between states. The new state will bring with it rejuvenation. In the meantime, however, the world is at a loss. It does not know where to go economically, politically, or in the military sense. People and countries are simply trying to hang on.

It may be an unorthodox view but I think that by and large, the Cold War was a good thing. At least people knew where they stood and how to conduct themselves. It was good for the superpowers, the rules were clear, and when the rules are clear, it is easier not to break them and cause horrendous accidents.

Today, there is nothing but confusion. If the stress continues to build up within and between countries, they will have no choice but to release it the way they always release pressure: by going to war.

Now that 2022 has begun, I think that we are starting the new year in great bewilderment. Russia is in a terrible condition, so is America, and although China seems like it is on top of the world, it is completely dependent on America’s purchasing power. The whole world is in a state of collapse. The ideologies that had kept countries going are all manifesting their irrelevance and weakness, and cannot offer humanity an appealing way of life. Indeed, the world is ready for change.

Question: It is time to summarize the results of the past year. What happened? The UK completed the exit from the European Union; Joe Biden took the office of President of the US; Naftali Bennett became Prime Minister in Israel; the use of disposable non-degradable tableware and plastic was banned in Europe; serious flooding occurred in Western and Central Europe; there were numerous volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in Indonesia, Haiti, and so on; fires blazed throughout Europe, Russia, and Australia; and many tornadoes caused damage in the US.

The Summer Olympic Games were held in Tokyo; Kabul fell and control transferred to the Taliban; same-sex marriage was legalized in Switzerland; Angela Merkel resigned from her duties; the coronavirus continued and continues, and has resulted in nearly 270 million people falling ill and the deaths of 5.3 million people.

How would you sum up the results of the past year?

Answer: It was a year of exacerbations. That’s what I’d call it.

And the most important escalations are between Israel and the United States. It is very serious, to the point that soon we will be at odds with each other. We are already in opposition to each other. I think there are even some who disagree with our existence.

The only thing I still hope is that the Jews in America will slowly come to their senses and will not be in such solidarity with the Democratic Party, with left-wing movements. They still need to realize that, although the government is called “left” and “democratic,” it is not democratic, it is not for democracy, it is not for the people.

But with regard to Israel, we must say it will be worse, much worse. There was nothing better for Israel than the Trump government. And we didn’t appreciate it, no matter how much I wrote and talked and shouted about it. It did not register. The Jews betrayed him. We pushed him away. And it hurts a lot, and we will still suffer a lot because of the fact that it turned out this way.

It will take a long time for the Jews to learn from this, but the lessons will be very serious, lengthy, and, I’m afraid to say, bloody.

Question: Is this the main outcome of the past year for you?

Answer: There is no other outcome because it is tied to the goals of the development of the world.

Question: Summing up the past year, what were you thinking about, yourself, Israel, or us?

Answer: No. I was thinking about the realization of the program of creation in our time, about which way it will be realized. And, unfortunately, we are turning this whole path from a kind, brief one into a bloody one, which in the end will be tragic, long, and painful. Especially for us, but, in principle, and as a result, for the whole world.

Question: You said “the path.” Then explain, please, why these two countries, or one, stands as if in the center of the world?

Answer: Israel is at the center of the world. Not because I’m in it, but because it is so for objective reasons. We have seen this throughout history. And, in principle, most people agree with this, those who see the situation and view the whole of history through the lens of time and events. It’s all tied up this way.

We are in the center of events, and our task is to lead the world to unity and connection by showing an example and dragging others after us.

And we don’t do that. Therefore, of course, it is our fault that the world is in the state it is now. We will have to fix this, and keep on fixing it, maybe, in very, very unpleasant ways. This is called the “path of suffering.”

So there will be no connection, there will be long separations, there will be long term problems, skirmishes, wars, and misunderstandings, but in the end we solve all this. And when we, meaning the Jews, go on the wrong path, not on the path of connection, then, of course, it’s bad.

Question: Does this formula work: bad for us, bad for the world?

Answer: The world will not be better off. The world will be the same way as us, only in a different form. If they deport us, destroy us, force us to vacate our territories, and so on, then the world will eventually also be covered in wounds bleeding. It will just be like a hunted animal.

Well, what will you do? We are to blame for this. I have written about it, talked about it, and in the end we are coming to this now.

Question: What’s more important for you, that the Jews will hear you more or all the nations of the world?

Answer: The nations of the world is good, of course, but the main thing is the Jews since everything depends on them after all. At any moment, if they change and understand that they are the central point and that the state of the whole world depends on their condition, if they unite among themselves, the world will begin to unite and it will be possible to prevent war.

No one will help us. The Americans are already openly declaring that we are not participating in your plans. They don’t even want to supply us with tanker planes. Which means, we won’t even be able to attack. We cannot attack Iran, its nuclear facilities, which they openly say are intended for us. They don’t hide it.

And the Americans also do not hide that they are stopping all help to us. And there’s nothing left for us to do. Are we going to sit here and wait for the atomic bombs to fall? And this is quite likely.

This is what we have brought upon ourselves by ourselves both physically and spiritually. We do not seek connection. We do not seek solidarity. We do not seek solidarity among ourselves. We are an example of such mutual rejection that does not exist in any other nation.

No nation in the world can show an example of such separation and division as we do. We are practically repeating all the same Jewish wars that have been waged throughout history within the Jews with each other.

Comment: When the Temples collapsed.

My Response: It’s the same now.

Question: What is your conclusion from all this?

Answer: Conclusion: Beware, Jews! That’s the conclusion. Just this. And that’s why I’m very pessimistic about the future! Everyone in the world is becoming more and more convinced that Israel and the Jews are just a problem, a malignant tumor on the body of the world.

Comment: But in this case you are not offering to remove the tumor, you are offering to cure it.

My Response: I don’t know how to cure it. I think that people, the nations of the world, the countries, will have the same thought again: “Why did we create this Israel? And what does it even exist for? It’s like an eyesore to us.”

Comment: Let’s say this thought arises. The action is not about destruction I hope.

My Response: There will be such actions that we will be banished from all international clubs and organizations.

Comment: Judged in all international courts.

My Response: It’s already happening. And we will supposedly reassure ourselves that this is not so, that it is all temporary, and so on. Just like the Jews did in Nazi Germany before they were all taken to concentration camps.

Comment: But you have said that it is impossible to destroy this nation.

My Response: Well, there will be a few people left. I’m being completely serious!

If a large number of people can only be in such discord among themselves, then in order to bring them to some more or less logical, correct relations, there will be nothing left but to reduce their numbers. Let them feel how dependent they are on each other.

Question: Let’s say I hear it. Here I am, a Jew, or I am a representative of other nations, I hear it. What are my actions? You’re not talking just for the sake of talking.

Answer: Your actions will be dictated by what will happen to these nations.

Question: If I am a Jew, what are my actions?

Answer: To throw everything off and engage only in connection: to gather all the Jews as much as possible into one single feeling, one awareness that they are one single whole and must connect with each other, overcome mutual hatred, and achieve a state almost like love.

All this is done so that after connecting together, we can do our real work, not only on our own connection, but on the connection of the whole world. Then we must be a light to the nations of the world. And we will have to spread the methods of connecting and uniting all people in the world with each other.

And they will ripen by this time because there will be so many more cataclysms, so many problems, that we would hardly have time to explain to them that it can only be stopped by our kind mutual relations should that come from the Jews.

Comment: You are not talking about the advantage of Jews. You’re talking about the pretty hard work they have to do.

My Response: About their duty to all mankind.

And they don’t feel it. Humanity feels this in its claims to the Jewish people, and the Jewish people themselves do not feel it. And that’s the problem. How can these stiff-necked people, such stubborn ones, be shaken so that they wake up. It turns out that inside they are just frozen, still, preserved for many, many centuries.

I do not know how to do this. And therefore, on the eve of next year, I am in a state of anxious expectations. And I don’t see what good can happen next year. There are no prerequisites for this.

Comment: And if I, a representative of any other nation, hear this, and it even annoys me.

My Response: If you don’t belong to the Jews, then I ask you to put pressure on the Jewish people, explain to everyone what I explained to you. And try to make them, the Jews, understand their necessity, their real role in this world, especially in our time, and immediately begin to implement it, to connect between themselves, to show an example to all the nations of the world of how to unite. And then the world will calm down and come to its correct state.

This should be explained to everyone.

Comment: Still, it amazes not only me, but everyone that you put this to the forefront, at the forefront of everything that is happening in the world! In the world!

So much is happening in the world and you put this at the top of everything.

My Response: There is a free fall of all mankind happening in the world into a moral, technological, ecological pit.

Comment: And you say it is because of us.

My Response: Yes. Because we don’t raise the value of connection. Only it matters!

Question: Connection in a simple sense?

Answer: The connection of people among themselves, because in this case they can reveal the upper force, bring it closer to themselves. As we unite, we bring the upper force closer to ourselves and thus reveal to all of us the existence of all of us in a certain new world. We begin to see the forces that control us. This is very important! And then we understand where we live, what for, how to live, and so on. Therefore, when we begin to unite, we begin to reveal the manifestation of the upper force between us.

Question: Does this revelation really have to come to every person? To absolutely everyone?

Answer: It will come to every person. Sooner, later, depending on one’s internal qualities, but it will come to every person.

Comment: We are entering the next year, what are your wishes, please.

My Response: To be heard!

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “The COP26, a UN summit about climate change, kicked off on Sunday in Glasgow, Scotland. Do you think the summit is a critical moment?“

No. It is naïve to think that any significant change will come from an event where world leaders convene from all parts of the world. The summit was a gathering of Prime Ministers and politicians, the same people driving the world toward an abyss. It is like wolves from different parts of a forest gathered to decide what to do in order to make life better for the sheep.

Put simply, to fix our ecological problems, we need to reach balance with nature, which can come about on condition that we reach balance among each other. Such balance will then also permeate the levels under the human: the still, vegetative and animate. Everything that has been destroyed will be restored, and everything will become corrected in general, when we correct our relationships up to a point of “love your neighbor as yourself.”

Question: What are you thankful for from 2021?

Answer: It was a good year. I think people have sobered-up in many ways. They have awakened, they are more reasonable, they are starting to listen, hear, and pay attention. It is no longer possible to scare or fool them the way it used to be before.

It was not a bad year for the more or less peaceful development of humanity.

Question: Even despite the pandemic, despite everything that happened?

Answer: The year was peaceful and good. It slowly, patiently taught us to understand our world.

Year after year nature teaches us. However, this year went well.

Israel is introducing the 4th dose of the coronavirus vaccine. And people ask, how can it be that we have been fighting the pandemic for two years and in no way are managing to overcome it? Will it continue indefinitely, one vaccination after another?

The best specialists around the world have been looking for a solution for two years, so much money has been invested in these studies and we still cannot defeat this tiny virus. It surprises us every time.

The fact is that this problem is not technical, but biological, at the degree of the human structure. The problem is inside the person! After all, a virus is genetic material, the most complex thing we have. The human body, a biological cell, is the most difficult object to study, the most complex material.

Why can’t we handle the coronavirus? Because we don’t know for what purpose it appeared. We don’t know what cells and intercellular exchange exist for.

We don’t know what anything exists for, we just know that it is. And that is why we cannot unravel the mystery of life, the meaning of life, even of a small cell. And since we don’t know what every cell in man and in general in the whole of nature is for, we don’t understand what is happening.

We don’t know what the coronavirus came for, and therefore, we can’t defeat it. Some new biological material appears, which has its own life, but why did it arise? Why did it suddenly reveal itself right now but did not manifest before? Has it been dormant somewhere for millions of years or did it not even exist?

It’s as if we were looking at some unknown machine and didn’t understand what it was designed for, who made it, and how it could be used. We notice the virus only because it begins to interfere with us. Otherwise we wouldn’t have noticed it at all.

The virus comes in order to awaken us to correction, which means, to rise above our egoism, the desire to receive pleasure for ourselves without taking into account the desires of other people. So maybe we ourselves awaken this virus and force it to come out of hibernation?

If we asked the virus what it wants from us, it would answer that it has an important mission. In nature, nothing exists aimlessly, and therefore, the duty of the virus is to have a negative impact on us. Apparently we have committed such actions that now we need such an impact of the virus. Only it can help us improve.

And that’s why it’s very simple to get rid of the virus: We need to start taking care of each other, get closer to each other, and check how this affects all the viruses around us. You will see that the virus will disappear. Let’s try it! What do we have to lose? At least it won’t get any worse.

The very first recipe is to fix the relationships between us, to get closer to each other, and to cleanse our society of egoistic laws, and so move forward until full recovery.

Question: If all the people in the world, every single one would make the same wish for the New Year—one from all—would it come true? What kind of desire should it be that you would also like to participate in?

Answer: What would I wish for people? To open their eyes, to understand the universal formula of nature, that they can feel and see it, enter into this formula, and exist in it.

Question: And if this desire, which you want everyone to have and with which you obviously associate yourself with, would appear in everyone, would everything turn upside down?

Answer: Of course. Then all people would live in “love your neighbor as yourself.” This balances the entire nature at all levels—from small to large.

My new article on Linkedin “A Common Culprit Behind the Woes of 2021”

Fires, floods, pandemic, earthquakes, typhoons, tornadoes, drought, inflation, war, abuse and exploitation, we’ve had them all this year, and a common culprit stands behind them: man. Change man, and you have changed the world. The task may not be easy, but knowing the cause and what we need to do will go a long way toward enabling improvement.

When you think about all the bad things that happened this year, it is almost instinctive to say “Good riddance!” But we should be smarter than that. The catastrophes mentioned in the opening paragraph will seem like a gentle breeze compared to the ones that will come next year and in the years to follow unless we are determined to get to the bottom of the crises and solve them once and for all.

When people think of last year, they think of all the things that happened. I think we must go deeper than that; we must look at what induced those things, as well as other negative developments.

We already know that every element is unique and irreplaceable in Earth’s ecosystem. When you deplete even a single element, you throw the system off balance. When you throw a local ecosystem off balance, it affects its neighboring systems, until eventually the entire planet is disrupted. Just as Covid-19 has taught us that any strain immediately spreads around the world, so, too, is the case with everything we do, say, or even think. We are all parts of that one system.

We already acknowledge that we are dependent on each other and influence one another by the way we conduct ourselves as consumers, what we eat, our travel habits, and other aspects of our lives. We see that irresponsible and inconsiderate behavior depletes common resources and everyone suffers as a result. The UN and other organizations have international panels and conferences discussing this topic day and night.

Yet, not a lot is changing. In fact, matters are getting worse. So far, the only thing that has truly managed to contain our reckless behavior is the coronavirus. Once it forced us to go into lockdown, the air was clean, the water was clear, animals roamed where they had never gone before, and people rediscovered their families.

But a lockdown is not a way of life; it is an emergency measure. We need a sustainable solution that will allow us to go on living on this planet, our only home, without destroying it, and without it destroying us in retaliation.

To do that, we must change the core element that is causing our reckless behavior: our selfish human nature. When you look at all the issues plaguing our planet—from natural disasters to human caused crises—they all have a common culprit: human egoism. Therefore, change man, and you have changed the world.

Here lies our biggest problem. We can readily agree that we need to change our behavior. It is also evident that our behavior causes problems. But changing the cause of our inconsiderate behavior has far fewer advocates, since no one willingly admits to bearing the guilt for the world’s problems. Yet, we are all accountable.

The biggest challenge facing humanity as we enter 2022 is not curbing gas emissions, restraining the use of plastics, or reducing the use of fossil fuels. Our biggest challenge, the most obstinate disruption to our efforts to clean up the planet, is our own nature.

We cannot tell ourselves that our own nature is our biggest problem. However, we can create an atmosphere where everyone participates in building a new nature for humanity—where solidarity and kindness win acclaim, and conceit and narcissism induce admonition.

If we do this, all of us together, we will not feel like we are denying ourselves anything, like we are uprooting something from within us. Instead, we will feel that we are adding a good supplement to our lives, something that enriches our lives and gives them direction and meaning. Gradually, the more social mindset will become the dominant one since it rewards more generously than narcissism. If we do it together, it will be an easy and smooth transition.

Therefore, understanding where we are, why our world is the way it is, and how we can spare ourselves the adversities that are certain to come unless we change our ways, is paramount to our survival. As a bonus, we will also win a wonderful life that we did not believe existed until we adopted a mindset of solidarity and cast behind the common culprit of our woes—our own egoism.

In the News (itv.com): “UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson told leaders at the COP26 climate change conference the world is at ‘one minute to midnight on that doomsday clock’, …

“Humankind is ‘treating nature like a toilet’ by continuing to use fossil fuels, the UN secretary-general has warned, after Boris Johnson told the COP26 summit that immediate action is needed to ‘defuse that bomb’ of climate change.
“The prime minister warned the climate change conference’s opening ceremony that humanity has “run down the clock” on climate change and must get serious about action, before rising sea levels swallow entire cities forever.”

Question: The 2021 UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow concluded. How do you think it ended?

Answer: It ended exactly with what it started.

Question: That’s right, nothing. Nobody made a commitment to cut emissions. Everyone had in mind how to restore the economy after the pandemic; the environment and climate will wait. The result was summed up by Prince Charles: “I just can’t believe how many times over the past 40 years I have made such speeches in all parts of the world, and everything is useless.”

Why does it all start and happen as always?

Answer: They have nothing in their hands. No strength. They can’t do anything, even against all these emissions. There is no way they can stop it. No way! To do this, they need to close all of industry in general. First of all, computers.

Because of all this confusion, all this attitude to the world, it all originates from the fact that people have created an evil connection between themselves.

Comment: Not even production, not carbon dioxide…

My Response: This should be dealt with later. But as long as we have such a terrible egoistic connection between us, nothing will help. We do not know how to create the right connections, and therefore, everything that they bring us is evil.

Comment: They will say that you are against progress.

My Response: I am against progress. Naturally! And they themselves say that progress in the form it is in is digging our grave.

Question: And what should we do? Cancel computers today or somehow change the direction of work?

Answer: We must use them, but only correctly. And that’s right; this is only if we cut off all these wrong connections between people. You see how they harm people.

Question: The main problem and the main reason for poor ecology, climate and so on is?

Answer: Wrong connection between people. And today it is through computer networks.

Question: And if we direct them to communicate correctly between us, then everything will be fine?

Answer: Good. And if not, then they will destroy us.

Question: Are they, in principle, directed against such communication?

Answer: They are directed against people. I’m not against the machines themselves, it’s metal. It is iron with silicone.

Question: Are you against such use of them?

Answer: Yes. But this is a means of communication between us. And therefore these means of communication between us must be changed! But how can this be changed if they are in the hands of all sorts of businessmen? And on top of everything these businessmen don’t care about anything. Anything! They only count money. And it’s crazy money, and for the sake of what is not clear.

Question: And why do they need this money?

Answer: For the sake of power over the world.

Question: There are so many problems! What is it for a man?

Answer: No problem. This is ecstasy.

How the world will deal with this, I do not know. But now it is slowly starting to get clear that if we don’t break this evil computer connection, if we don’t change it, then of course we will all be in very bad shape. A computer is simply a communication implementation.

Therefore, the first protest against Facebook and other networks, when they begin to openly manifest themselves as the selfish power of their owners over humanity, is, of course, incredible! I wonder where this will lead next.

Question: Do you not believe that a person can create something global with the thought of uniting humanity, doing good to people?

Answer: No. At this level, even more so. There must be completely corrected people with the correct understanding of the right methodology, the correct connection between mankind. They don’t have this at all. They have money, politics, influence, and power.

Question: How can we get around this? How can this connection be arranged?

Answer: Just as in the past there was a revolution against machines, now there should be a revolution against computer communications. Limiting it seriously and doing it only for the benefit of people, which I think, of course, is simply incredible. But in this direction.

In the News (The Atlantic): “Why Are People Nostalgic for Early-Pandemic Life?”

Comment: Some conclude that today we are even lonelier.

My Response: Of course!

Comment: Today we have come out of our apartments where we were imprisoned and we are lonelier and the future is more uncertain.

My Response: Still, the pandemic taught us, it did not allow us to use our huge egoism. Otherwise, we would have driven ourselves into even greater stagnation. I believe that the pandemic has brought great benefits.

Question: So you have a very clear understanding that it came with an absolutely precise purpose?

Answer: Naturally. How can such a phenomenon pass without a goal, without a definite internal plan? Nature has everything according to plan. It has a beginning and an end connected together, and clearly goes from one end to the other. Depending on the reaction of humanity, we go through these states. We could have gone faster, better, and more easily with a much kinder result.

Comment: I want to reconstruct the events a little bit. We were connected, we worked, we flew to visit each other, we somehow moved around. And suddenly we were told: “Enough!”

My Response: Yes. We’ve had fun and that’s enough.

Question: We were separated, put in our apartments, the work places closed, tourist trips to each other, and so on. And all this was for what?

Answer: For us to try and realize whether we needed the kind of life we were in. Now the problem is whether we will return to this or not. There are those who resist and do not want to return. We hear and see it. And there are those who seem to agree.

Question: For us to return to the old connections?

Answer: Yes. But it will no longer be the same connections, it will no longer be the same pursuit and competition.

Question: Will there be any caution?

Answer: Not only caution, there will be a thing of doing everything at half strength, from the inability to do otherwise because we are practically forced to work. Just as slaves were forced to work in the fields, so we are forced to work in all these modern jobs today. We are struggling, but in general, we will have to return to our offices.

Question: You think that the question will arise, why is all this necessary at all?

Answer: This question is already arising.

Question: Was it important for the pandemic to lead us to this question?

Answer: This is the result of the pandemic, what it wanted to achieve and achieved. We’ll see what’s ahead of us. All this is just the beginning.

Question: Why do people have nostalgia for the beginning of the pandemic? They say: “We didn’t know what would happen then, but there was some kind of unity.” Why was there unity in the break?

Answer: Because we all found ourselves facing some kind of external threat that worked for all of us, against all of us, it doesn’t matter. And in this we felt together. It united us somehow, put everyone together in front of this whole disease, the virus. And it felt good.

Question: Does a person need this record? It shows that this is written in a person now.

Answer: Entrepreneurs and others are fighting to erase this record. But along with this, another wave rises, which says: “We don’t want to erase it, it’s good for us. We are in this state closer to each other and are more pleasant to each other.”

Question: Are you more for this wave?

Answer: Neither for this nor for that. As much as the second wave is more pleasant, the one that does not want to return to its metal machines, I think neither this nor that is correct. We must first realize what kind of future we want in general. And, first of all, what kind of relationship we want between us. And then we will choose.

Question: So the most important thing is awareness?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What will we choose then?

Question: Recently, cytotherapy (cell and gene therapy) has developed, which often results in the sale of stem cells from an unborn baby.

There are stories of doctors conducting ultrasound scans and deliberately giving a wrong diagnosis and telling the mother that she needs to terminate the pregnancy for medical reasons so that the embryo could be used to rejuvenate famous people, so these physicians can earn a nice sum of money.

What’s happening? How can this be? The main oath doctors take is the Hippocratic oath: “Do no harm.”

Answer: What are you talking about?! We see that doctors are one of the most egoistic specialties because a doctor feels that he has power over you, that he can command you; he feels his impunity.

Comment: It would seem that it should be the opposite.

My Response: You appeal to morality, to some kind of inner honesty, conscience, or justice. How can one demand this from a modern person? Especially when you take young people and teach them to be egoistic, to try to achieve some position, some kind of power by any means. A doctor is paid to serve more patients and prescribe more drugs for which money is paid.

Each doctor is personally interested in patients coming to him and not to another doctor. It is beneficial for him to prescribe additional drugs for each patient since in the end it turns out to be a decent income for him. I have talked with some doctors and they explained everything to me frankly. That is, the doctor has absolutely no interest in human health.

Therefore today all medicine is aimed at making money. And there’s nothing to say about the cost of medicines and medical equipment. The health care budget sometimes exceeds the national defense budget. This is an extremely lucrative trough for millions of people.

Since all medicine is arranged by us egoistically, we cannot demand that doctors help a person disinterestedly. All their activity is based on their attitude not toward a person, but toward his organ. Therefore the whole approach, both in general and in particular, is completely flawed.

Question: Can this approach be changed?

Answer: No. This will become possible only when a person is convinced that he lives in a whole world and is connected with everyone else. If he wants to be healthy, then he must take care of the health of the whole society.

In The Book of Zohar, in the chapter “Pinchas,” it is said that all our illnesses result from an egoistic attitude toward each other. We transfer this infection, this poison, from one to another, and therefore we get sick.
