In the News (VestiFinance): “The wave of globalization that has swept the world a few years ago, has now changed its direction. And this is very important. This is closely linked with the state of the world economy and the politics of Western countries.

“Globalization has reached the maximum level, and in some areas is declining. …

“Globalization no longer leads to the growth of the world economy. …

“The slowdown of globalization is partly due to the fact that many opportunities have if not disappeared completely, at least have drastically been reduced. …

“The growth of xenophobic attitudes and trade slowdown – are factors that are likely to lead to a decrease in foreign direct investment growth.

“Political measures support globalization less. In the US, this is particularly noticeable, as it is in the midst of the presidential election campaigns. …

“All of the important representatives of the Western world, it seems, no longer believe that trade growth will yield profit. …

“Globalization has slowed. Maybe the reverse process is starting? Many analysts believe that, yes, it is. …

“Globalization should not be a scapegoat, the culprit for all the troubles of our time, experts say.

“Nevertheless, at the moment, the processes of globalization stalled, while there is a chance that it will start the reverse processes in the global economy.

“A stimulation of globalization requires different internal and external measures, other than those that applied in the past.

“The future of globalization depends on the skilful and wise leadership.”

My Comment: Globalization requires a new basis of a united society above all the factors that divide it, a unified basis of nations and states. This is not a philosophy, but the requirement of nature, which means that the natural objective evolution of human society has brought us to acknowledge the need to become one unified society.

We cannot withdraw from here, because this is the law of nature and if we don’t keep it, it will lead to troubles and disasters.

In the News (inosmi.ru): “Europe – this is not a monolith, but a conglomerate. Being European – means to take care of the fragments, of which we as a nation make a huge and amazing European mosaic. Many of these pieces have a national pan-European roots. That is why Europe must be united.

“It is well known to anyone who has a basic knowledge of geology, conglomerates do not break. Their components are held by a common binder. The binder of European civilization – a shared history, common values and similar institutions whose origins lie in antiquity, Christianity and the Enlightenment.”

My Comment: When we speak about unity in our world, we think that this will lead to the obliteration of individuality and to the disappearance of nations, people, races, religions, and other individual differences between us.

However, this opinion arises in us because we wish to solve the problem of unity on the same level as today’s disagreements.

Kabbalah offers a different solution: unity should take place above our egoism, without affecting our corporeal differences but only nullifying their egoistic use. As Baal HaSulam writes, we have no right to destroy the smallest distinctive features of each individual and of each nation, because this is what gives us strength and power in the fusion of differences.

Question: Who is the dissemination of the method of unity meant for?

Answer: Since our egoism has reached its complete development in the process of evolution, we are in a crisis with nature that surrounds us. Nature is single and integrated while we are egoists, detached from one another and divided, and so we are opposite from nature.

This leads to a crisis in many aspects of life including the ecology and society. Nature might just omit us out of its system if we don’t reach a state of balance with it. The wisdom of Kabbalah tells us about it in a much simpler way. Love thy friend as thyself is the main law of nature, and it is even simpler to yearn for unity. This is what we explain to people.

In the News (Project Syndicate): “The United Kingdom’s narrow vote to leave the European Union had specific British causes. And yet it is also the proverbial canary in the coalmine, signaling a broad populist/nationalist backlash – at least in advanced economies – against globalization, free trade, offshoring, labor migration, market-oriented policies, supranational authorities, and even technological change.

“All of these trends reduce wages and employment for low-skill workers in labor-scarce and capital-rich advanced economies, and raise them in labor-abundant emerging economies. Consumers in advanced economies benefit from the reduction in prices of traded goods; but low and even some medium-skill workers lose income as their equilibrium wages fall and their jobs are threatened.

“In the ‘Brexit’ vote, the fault lines were clear: rich versus poor, gainers versus losers from trade/globalization, skilled versus unskilled, educated versus less educated, young versus old, urban versus rural, and diverse versus more homogenous communities. The same fault lines are appearing in other advanced economies, including the United States and continental Europe.”

My Comment: It will be necessary to reorganize society: to gradually reduce consumption and production to reasonable limits. The masses of people who are freed up from working in the old factories must be directed toward factories of re-educating people. We need to design and develop “new” people.

This must be the product of these new factories. A corrected person works on himself; he corrects the system of relationships between egoistic people. This is the most fruitful, useful, necessary, and vital work in the world. Its result will be that all of humanity will attain an eternal and perfect life.

In the News (inopressa.ru): “‘If the refugee deal falls through with Turkey, we should expect a second wave of migration. And if in the beginning economists saw the mass migration as opportunities for the economy, their forecasts are now the opposite,’ writes Die Welt.

“None other than top managers and economists associated the influx of migrants with optimistic hopes. ‘People seeking protection in Germany will solve pressing problems in the country,’ they assured they German economic elite.

“Refugees would become the necessary labor force capable of maintaining the German economic ‘miracle.’ In addition, experts predicted, the young workers could be the answer to the demographic crisis threatening the nation.

“According to the survey, conducted jointly by Die Welt and consulting company Roland Berger, among first and second tier company managers, 75% of the respondents say that the flow of migrants, with an intensity comparable to last year, will become an economic burden for the country. …

“Leading economists and top managers have been forced to admit in recent months that the lion’s share of the refugees will not be backup for the labor market in Germany in the short or medium term. …

“According to IMF experts, the positive effect of the influx of refugees is expected only in the event that the applicants for refugee status would engage in a rapid process of integration. Otherwise, costs will increase and inevitably lead to protests among the population.”

My Comment: Reception should begin precisely with cultural integration, bringing people together, connecting people, which was not understood even when establishing the EU. So the problem is the same. The economists believe that it is possible to fill the labor market with machines, not people.

But the refugees have their own psychology; it defines their difference from the local population, separating them with a “wall” of misunderstanding. There is only one possible way: building a bridge of communication, connection, above the lack of understanding and even despite it. Only the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches the construction of a connection like this!

Question: What means do you propose for Europe to come to unity?

Answer: This means is not within us, but is hidden inside nature. The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us how to extract this good force and to use it to change ourselves. We don’t need to change anything except ourselves.

I can’t change others. But each one who participates in this work changes himself, and nothing else. He can teach others only how to do the same actions and to change.

Question: What is hidden in nature’s force?

Answer: This is a force of connection and unity, the force of love.

Question: So why couldn’t the Europeans discover this force before; after all, they were also talking about unity and love?

Answer: This force hasn’t been revealed yet in any place in the world because the world only now begins to discover how much it needs it. Until now this force wasn’t needed and everybody thought that we would succeed through developing culture, education, science, and philosophy.

But today we see that everything that exists within a person becomes detrimental to him if he begins to use it. If we want to achieve a good, peaceful life, without wars, problems, and troubles, we should adopt the method of Kabbalah that explains how humanity can continue its development in a good way.

Kabbalah teaches us how to extract this force from nature and reveal this force that will unite us. To do this we need to examine ourselves, our nature, the nature of the world, and the force hidden in nature. Previously, we were developing only by the evil egoistic force, but today we can add the good force to it.

Question: Will this force perform a miracle and turn a person from an egoist to an altruist?

Answer: Actually, this force will lead a person to a balance. There will be the old force and the new force present in him, a minus and a plus. Thus, a person will be under control of two forces. Then he will really know how to realize the goals assigned to him.

Question: Does it mean that there is a hidden force in nature that you are advising us to extract?

Answer: This force isn’t so hidden; it operates in nature. We know that in nature there are positive and negative forces in each atom. Only within a person there is the negative force alone, and the positive force isn’t revealed. However, in fact, we know that it exists. We just need to reveal it.

Question: Why haven’t we revealed it so far?

Answer: Because nobody required it. But today we are ready to reveal this force; therefore, the method that allows us to awaken the positive force of nature and to balance the negative force is revealed. This method of Kabbalah was always lived within the people of Israel.

Question: Does the wisdom of Kabbalah have some unknown patent for revealing the positive force within a person?

Answer: Of course! Kabbalah explains how to connect, how to study, and where and how to search for this good force. It is because the people of Israel who have this method don’t reveal it that the nations of the world subconsciously hate them. After all, we have the method to unite that everybody badly needs, but we don’t pass it through ourselves to others.

The era of European civilization in its present, egoistic form is coming to an end, and a new era is beginning where we will have to implement the method of Kabbalah and to bring the Light to the world. The new stage begins with a person’s awareness of the need to change himself. People will open their eyes and will begin to understand from where it is really possible to get a force for changing their life for the better.

In the News (European Jewish Press): “Former French Defense Minister Hervé Morin said France should be inspired by Israel in the fight against terrorism.

“He told daily newspaper Le Figaro the country needs to take new measures to adapt to the ‘turbulent times’.

“His statements came a day after a terrorist attack against the church of Saint-Etienne du Rouvray in which a priest was killed by Islamist terrorists.

“A centrist politician, Morin heads the regional council of Normandy.

“’France has lived in peace for decades. It now lives in a great turmoil period that will last. Do not hesitate to learn from what was done in the countries hardly hit by terrorism – I refer specifically to Israel. We need to Israelize our security,’’ the former minister under President Sarkozy said.

“He expressed his determination to fight against jihadism, arguing that in his region there are probably ‘around 80 people’ classified as radicalized.

‘’’We must make criminally responsible social networks such as Facebook and others which leave jihadist propaganda flowing and we need to ensure that legal proceedings be initiated against all individuals who visit these sites and those who return from the land of jihad.’’’

My Comment: That is how life teaches itself, on itself. Previously they didn’t agree in any way with the preventative measures used by Israel. Hatred toward Israel will only intensify, because the worse it becomes for the West, the subconscious feeling will become more tangible that the Jews are to blame for the security problems, not the Arabs. This is because the Jews must show the entire world an example of connection and unity, and this is the only this way the world will come to peace and tranquility.

In the News (vestifinance.ru): “Globalization of the world economy has faced a number of difficulties since the global financial crisis in 2008, until recently it was dominated by the idea that a company should be able to do business in different continents without taking into account national specificities and circumstances, but now is receiving less support from authorities.

“…in recent years the growth of the world economy began to slow, and increasing in popularity is the idea of protection of national markets by transnational ‘sharks.’ This has a negative impact on the political mood required for transactions worldwide. First and foremost, it is evident in transatlantic trade and partnership and the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

“All this is very reminiscent of the slow death of globalization, which, apparently, is only gaining momentum.”

My Comment: Everything is permeated with unwillingness to work together, but for each to grab as much as possible for itself now. Moreover, the intentions of the Americans are transparent: through Trans-Atlantic trade and investment agreements and the Trans-Pacific Partnership to bind Europe and to choke it according to the principle, “you will die today, and tomorrow me.”

But it was clear from the start that the European Union wouldn’t have future education of its members in the spirit of a united Europe. Farewell Europe!

Question: The European ideals of equality and brotherhood were just a pretty external wrapping, but inside a person stayed the same barbarian, and Hitler’s Germany is an example of it. What is the human internal change the wisdom of Kabbalah calls us to?

Answer: Human nature is a desire to enjoy from everything that is possible. Our body is organized this way. Each of its cells, the nervous system, thoughts, desires, mind, and heart, everything is directed to receiving maximum pleasure and fulfillment from food, sex, family, money, honor, and knowledge, meaning for our own pleasure; this is the way we are created.

Any creation in this world is organized according to this principle, stone, plant, animal, and human. Only in a human this egoism is expressed much more. In contrast to all other beings, man does not consume from the environment only what is necessary for his existence, but wants to swallow the whole world.

Even if I myself don’t need it, I will take it so that others won’t get it. We see how billionaires until the end of their life only care about earning more and more money. What for? The desire not to leave it to others motivates them subconsciously. Such is our nature.

If our nature is so egoistic, then no mind, ethics, science, psychology, philosophy, culture, and education can help us. For hundreds of years in different parts of the world, and particularly in Europe, people have tried to correct a person, and yet we see that he is still the same egoist, wanting to receive for himself and not thinking about anybody else.

The Europeans feel that it is necessary to build a new world where we all will be united. They have tried to unite because this state seemed very beautiful and good. They wanted to make Europe a joint home.

But what have they done instead? Instead of uniting people they united banks, factories, and government organizations in order to strengthen their egoism even more than before. Besides this nothing has changed. The French don’t hate the Germans less than before. Each European nation doesn’t like its neighbors and is afraid of them.

The European Union, similar to the French Revolution and to all revolutions in general, made only external cosmetic changes without affecting human nature. To make a real revolution is possible only by changing a person. Nowadays we gradually begin to realize that without changing the person we don’t have any chance for success.

Question: You just said that neither culture, nor education, nor science was able to change people and Europe is proof of it. So how can a person be changed, by what means?

Answer: First of all, an awareness of the need to change human nature is required. Our state is simply threatening without this change. Otherwise it wasn’t worth uniting Europe because it has turned out for the worse. When we try to implement the upper values but only in the external form, we just do damage. If you place people who hate each other in one apartment, then nothing good will come out of it, they will start fighting. It is better to let them go in different directions.

Look what is happening today in Europe, hatred is growing more and more. Luckily they have a common problem with Muslim refugees that unites them. Otherwise they would’ve killed each other already.

The wisdom of Kabbalah says that the only thing that will save us is a genuine union that we must achieve at this stage of history. Through it all humanity will come to the desired correction. And Europe, as the most prepared for it and the most developed part of the world, must show an example of this to everyone.

Question: Why hasn’t Europe been able to unite despite its many years of effort?

Answer: The Europeans didn’t know how to do it. The pretty slogans of the French Revolution about freedom, equality, and brotherhood remained just words. They didn’t understand then and still don’t understand now that in order for these words to become reality a person himself must change.

But a person can’t change by himself or conquer his egoism. In order to rise above his egoistic nature he needs a special external force that will correct and change him.

The French didn’t know about it and couldn’t succeed. Therefore, the great French Revolution was replaced by other revolutions under different flags including Nazism and nowadays radical Islam. All this is due to the fact that people couldn’t understand that real connection is achieved only by changing human nature.

The method of Kabbalah is different because for the first time in history we don’t change the external systems: religion, science, culture, education, and government, but a person himself. Nobody even knows what it means, except for Kabbalists. It doesn’t mean that a person gets a little more knowledge or education and begins to treat others more ethically and in a more civilized way.

A person must rise above his egoistic nature and receive another, the altruistic one, which nobody knows about today. Kabbalah is truly a hidden wisdom that is getting revealed today and gives us an opportunity to implement all of this. However, if we don’t do this, we will see horrible disasters in the world, worse than any suffering experienced by humanity through its entire history.

A person must rise to the nature of bestowal and to really love his neighbor, not just in words. Exactly the same way he automatically thinks today about himself, he will think about the welfare of others, simply because it will be in his nature. Today, he cares only about himself and his family, i.e., about everything that belongs to him, and tomorrow he will suddenly start to think differently and care about society.

All the former European ideals and moral values seemingly calling for equality and brotherhood were completely egoistic, even though mankind considered the European approach to be a model of humanity and altruism. After all, it was so in comparison to the barbaric approach. But nobody compared it to the method that creates and builds a new altruistic person.
