In the News (Pravda.ru): “So Europe this year will get a million-odd migrant workers with all the surprises it implies. …

“…is it possible to dramatically change the immigration laws in the European countries, to cancel benefits for refugees, and temporarily limit their entry?

“To do this, the whole of Europe to decide in each country individually to do this is unrealistic. In every country there are certain circles who say, ‘No, you can not close the way these poor refugees.’ That is, it is theoretically possible, but practically it is hardly possible to do it.

“The most effective, but also unrealistic – is to try to arrange the normal conditions in the countries where the refugees are.

“Europe’s population – 500 million people. A million immigrants coming this year – it is not even one percent,  a quarter percent. …

“…. You sucked all of Africa’s wealth – now you have to share with them.

“Europe will have to share their wealth. It is not necessary to destroy the house and the whole country. You want them to have joined the Western European democracy? Here they have it and are attached. You wanted Iraqis, Syrians and others to live the same as in France or Germany? They come to you. It’s just a pity the Americans can not in any way share their way of life with 10-20 million refugees who go around the world through their own fault.”

My Comment: This migration will not lead to the dissolution of the Arabs in Europe, but the “dissolution” of Europe itself. Even Russia will deport them to the West.

Question: In the Arab nations there were a number of revolutions that occurred with the help of social networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc. Even now, the same thing is happening with us. In other words, our enemies are using the same achievements of the modern world without declaring war on us. Do we need to conduct a cultural war such as this with them?

Answer: You can do anything you want. But nothing will help! Only if there is really a life and death threat, is it necessary to defend yourself without considering anything else. But simultaneously, it is up to you to move the people towards internal unity.

Then everyone will gradually begin to change their opinion about you, because through connection and unity, you will be connected with the whole world. Then you will channel completely new forces of good, mutual connection, and unity to the whole world, which the world needs so much. And without the power of connection and unity, it will move toward war.

Everyone understands and knows this, but they cannot do anything because other than the people of Israel, nobody has freedom of choice. So the whole world condemns the Jews. The peoples of the world subconsciously feel that they depend on us. And it is not just that they blame us for all the troubles, it is an internal feeling of dependence. For example, if I feel that I depend on a particular person, I am afraid of him, hate him, he doesn’t leave my mind, and I don’t know what to do with this connection. This is precisely what the nations of the world feel about us. This is a fact.

Question: So this means that they are afraid of us?

Answer:  They are frightened, meaning they feel that they cannot annihilate us. If they could, they would wipe us off the face of the Earth. They have tried, but it didn’t work. But this is not the idea; rather, it is a feeling of powerlessness before Israel that everyone feels subconsciously. I have travelled throughout the world, given interviews and lectures at dozens of universities, major newspapers, in the mass media, and I have conversed with scientists, politicians, and sociologists. This is what people feel.

Question: Does this mean that the people of Israel and the nation itself cannot be destroyed?

Answer: The people no, the nation yes. We could quietly be expelled from here. In the meantime, a bilateral world still supposedly exists, but we have no need of anyone. If there were no higher management through which we need to unite on this land, we  already wouldn’t be here.

Nevertheless, from day to day I see how the people of Israel are becoming more and more consolidated internally, more sensitive, and understand that nothing will save them except for the connection and unity between us. They are becoming more prepared to understand, perceive, and hear this idea, and our organization is becoming increasingly capable of explaining this and giving an example.

Question: What does Kabbalah say about the possibility of a third world war?

Answer: In the 1920s, when scientists had only just begun to develop nuclear weapons, the greatest Kabbalist of the 20^th century, Baal HaSulam, wrote in his book The Last Generation that if humanity wouldn’t come to its senses and activate the method of self-correction to balance the positive and negative forces in each of us, in society, and in the world, it would inevitably lead to nuclear war.

But the one who is wise sees in advance what can happen, and so he avoids impending disasters; they are not necessary. He has a presentiment of the approaching suffering, and this helps him choose another way, the way of the correction of his nature.

So for humanity there are two ways: either accept and implement the method of self-correction or reach this through a path of great suffering and immense destruction!

This will engulf both Europe and Russia, and, of course, the entire Middle East.

Question: Are there analytical approaches of the Kabbalists to the text of the Book of Revelations, or do they see only hidden meanings in the prophecies?

Answer: In these texts there are no hidden meanings! What they say is derived simply and easily from the wisdom of Kabbalah. I repeat; we have two possibilities!

• We correct ourselves and become a society in which good and evil become balanced, and live with each other in a harmony that extends to the surrounding world on all levels: still, vegetative, and animate.

•  Or like farm boys, we begin beating each other up until only a small group of people remain on the scorched and exhausted Earth. And then those who survive will begin to build a proper society in which good and evil will be balanced.

So everything depends on our freedom of choice! Do we choose the way of reforming our nature, balancing ourselves and in this way all of society, which mainly encompasses three continents: Europe, Russia, and America, or do we to continue to go blindly onward, playing with only one force, one against the other?

Question: In the Book of Revelations, what does the opening of the seals symbolize?

Answer: These seals are the hidden characteristics of nature, which we can bring out for our correction.

Question: These seals are not opened yet?

Answer: Everything depends on us!

The wisdom of Kabbalah has already been revealed to the people. This makes it possible for us to attain all the sources for the good force that exist in the world, but we don’t discover them. They are sealed, it is necessary to open them, and then the good force will appear and balance our evil egoistic force.

Question: In the Book of Revelations, the opening of the seals leads to new events regarding the end of the world. Maybe it would be better not to open them?

Answer: No! We need the good force! We need to understand the text correctly. I use the Kabbalistic sources and rely on them. Again I say: There are no problems here. This possibility is in our hands. We are not blind puppets on strings, in the hands of nature. We can do this! It is in our power.

Comment: One of our listeners wrote that his child has no interest in life and says that he wants to die.

Answer: An aspiration for something else that is beyond this life is already appearing in the world and is especially apparent among children. Previously there was never such a problem as childhood depression. But today it is appearing at a very young age.

Depression among adults didn’t exist 100 years ago either. It appeared as minor sadness or melancholy because of boredom, especially among the nobility. But it has manifested intensively only in our time. And this disease is a lack of meaning in life, and many people suffer from it.

However, this is also progress since nature intentionally arouses such sensations in us.

Question: How long does it take a person to reach a state in which he can look at his body as if it were a foreign object, as if it were a little puppy by his side?

Answer: This is independent of time, since the wisdom of Kabbalah has become part of our lives in the 20^th century, people are continuously developing internally. So it is impossible to say now how long it will take every individual to reach that state.  

A person who reaches it now may have tried to attain it for years, while it may take someone who comes five or ten years from now only a couple of months. People are born today with a different potential of spiritual power, and in a couple of months, they perceive what took us years.

In the News (russian-bazaar):  “The president of the European Jewish Congress (EJC) Moshe Kantor expressed concern about the significant increase of anti-Semitism on the continent at the first annual colloquium on the issue of respect for fundamental rights in the EU, where he spoke on behalf of the European Jews.

“‘”The refugee problem has become a serious test for Europe. But Europe does not go a day without an even more serious test – said Kantor. – Earlier this year, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said after bloody anti-Semitic violence in the supermarket “Hyper Kasher” in Paris that “if 100,000 Jews were to leave France, France will no longer be France. This would mean the collapse of the French Republic.

“‘I would go even further and say that if hundreds of thousands of Jews leave the European Union, as is becoming increasingly likely, it would mean the collapse of the European Union. Over the past few years, tens of thousands of Jews left Europe in search of a safe haven, but today one third of the nearly 2.5 million Jews in Europe thinks about emigration. …'”

My Comment: Dr. Kantor should not worry about the future of Europe. But if the European Jewish Congress realized the true reasons for the growing global anti-Semitism, it could change the Jewish identity and thus change the whole world!

Comment: Ten years ago you said that the confrontation between Israel and the radical faction of the Arab community is not a local conflict, extremists would begin a confrontation with Israel and, sooner or later, this would reach a confrontation with the whole world, and that this would be the beginning of World War Three, which will only continue to grow.

So this seemed to me like Kabbalistic vagaries, but today I understand that it is necessary to begin to listen to Kabbalistic predictions more attentively, with particular concern.

Answer: Unfortunately what is said in the wisdom of Kabbalah has been carried out throughout all of history with mathematical precision. There could be a difference in time, but in principle, even this doesn’t happen.

Forty years ago my teacher told me that around the year 1995 the revelation of the wisdom of Kabbalah would soon begin among the masses, after that there would be another period, etc. All this would happen precisely, and arouse great fear among all those who are aware of the predictions.

A third World War would not be like previous wars; it is the sum of a multitude of slow and endless local conflicts, exhausting all of humanity.

The idea is that humanity is reaching a threshold in its development. They will begin to understand that they have not succeeded in getting along with each other or with the laws of nature, which determine their lives.

Not only aren’t we aware of the laws of nature, but we cannot even manage our society in any area of life. Science is deadlocked, families are falling apart, and people prefer to escape with drugs and tranquilizers.

Humanity is in confusion. The strong in this world don’t know what to do. Generally, the world in which we used to live successfully has become totally unclear. So conflicts and confrontations have begun.

The world became integral; it became rounded; different laws are operating in it—the laws of integral connection between everyone. Every person influences the entire world, and the whole world influences him; everything is interwoven. We still don’t see this network of forces, but it connects us very strongly, like cells in the body of humanity. In the wisdom of Kabbalah, this was written about thousands of years ago.

But the problem is that we are built according to an individualistic egoistic principle and not integrally. We cannot encompass this entire system; we cannot correctly cooperate mutually with each other; we don’t aim towards receiving and bestowing together.

A human being is the only creature in nature created on the egoistic principle. The still, vegetative, and animate levels of nature exist instinctively; they have no freedom of choice. But a human being is built according to another principle; only egoism operates within him.

So it follows that if the inanimate, vegetative, and animate parts of nature are in a dynamic balance: plus-minus, warm-cold, dark-light, our inner egoistic nature is not balanced by a good force, but only bears a negative character.

Question: But there are people who would object: “Excuse me, yesterday I helped an old woman cross the street”. Another will say: “Excuse me, but ten years ago we couldn’t even imagine that an amazing social network like Facebook would be created!” So, don’t we have a positive direction of development?

Answer: Yes. But this is also managed by our ego.

It turns out that we cannot just do good, not to mention carrying out the main commandment of loving others. A person requires an inner positive force that will balance him.

This problem is felt in all of us because we are basically guided only by the negative force. Where can we attain a positive force to manage ourselves and the world successfully? This is the most prominent challenge humanity faces today.

Transatlantic Trick?

There were massive demonstrations in Europe against the impending treaty regarding a free transatlantic trade zone among the European Union, US, and Canada.

In Germany alone, 250,000 people demonstrated, which underlines the crucial importance of the problem.

In short, the treaty provides for less regulated trade between participants on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Within its framing, fewer restrictions will hamper corporations and companies that export and import various goods. At first glance, everything looks fine: intensity of collaboration grows and cooperation among partners strengthens…

However, people are concerned that in practice the agreement will grant corporations excessive power and will alter existing laws and rules to serve the interests of big companies.

Today, the laws in principle, protect consumers’ interests, for example, that the meat they buy does not contain an excess of hormones or from unapproved medications so the population is not exposed to the danger of contamination and infection

Now this barrier could be undermined by easing state supervision that will allow corporations to do anything that benefits their wallets.

It will be more difficult for governments to call them into account and to legally restrict the market to the detriment of corporate earnings. As a result, big businessmen and corporations will grow stronger than their governments and will eventually dictate their will to their countries’ administration.

Beyond the Law

It’s not just another fear; it’s an ongoing process. Many years ago, I was invited to lecture in Switzerland. There were two buildings next to each other in the street: a bank and a government office building. A person who accompanied me joked that major decisions are not made in the Parliament, but in the financiers’ lobbies: every minister stops at the bank on their way to work and gets instructions there.

In fact, it is not a joke at all! During the last 10-15 years, a new situation emerged: people who have lots of money prevail over their governments. Business is now global, and this gives commercial companies unprecedented power and opportunities.

They can maneuver, move their operations and capital from place to place, and exchange resources “beyond official borders.” For them there are no boundaries. An army of well-trained lawyers is always at their service of them; they have enough money to buy anything, including governmental institutions. It is common knowledge the more money you have, the fewer laws one observes.

As a result, governments are dependent on big business.

The only exception are totalitarian regimes. Their degree of freedom is also limited, but they retain the decision-making power and do not have to consult and coordinate their resolutions with the rich. But any dictator can be neutralized by a “Rothschild,” by a financial elite aspiring to world domination.

The Benefits of Big Business

As a result, it runs the system, which is based senior businessmen. There are only a few dozen people—although, in fact, we are not talking about people, about money, about corporations. And, of course, they are “running the show.”

That is why our world is becoming increasingly global and integral. All of its parts are interconnected. Everybody depends on everybody. And this is good! Thanks to modern Croesus, we quickly discover that the world is round and inseparable.

A positive point here is that this promotes the realization of the evil that is essential to initiate the treatment. We reveal a disease: our connection in this joint and mutually dependent world is wrong! Our unity is negative. It’s as if we all live in one apartment, one country, one common space, not limited by artificial borders, and at the same time we continue hating each other.

Do I really care about fluctuation of yuan, or euro, or dollar? How do I personally depend on them? And yet, I do depend on them a hundred percent. Corporations “project” their global games on my personal wallet.

So big business “opens our eyes”: it binds and impacts us more than governments, demonstrating that the world is united.

At the same time, big business remains in the shadows: moguls and huge corporations impact politics, but I don’t see how the governments do their bidding and rely on the explanation of current events by TV newscasters.

Citizens of the World

Overall, this creates a situation of mutual guarantee, but with a negative sign. We all seem to depend on one bank, one source of supply, one mind, one desire, which is big business.

Theoretically, if the most influential people in the world gathered in one room, they would be able to determine everything that happens in the world. Their decisions would come true if not for the upper force.

So, their single power does not leave me much choice. I cannot, as before, ignore the distant events and neglect what is going on in other countries. Now, anything that happens around the globe is important to me, because today it all affects everything.

If we feel that the world is inseparably connected, it makes us “citizens of the world”: I depend on everybody and everybody depends on me.

Let’s say, I live in Europe. Why do I care about the local government if there are no borders and I can settle wherever I want? Differences dissipate, laws unify…

The last time I was driving on European roads,  I didn’t see much difference. Just when I entered Switzerland, I had to pay a fee. Otherwise, there are no borders!

People acknowledge that the world is unified; we recognize our interdependency. However, so far our unity doesn’t do us any good; rather, it hurts us.

Mutual Guarantee With A Negative Sign

Question: What does negative mutual guarantee mean?

Answer: We live in society; I, along with others, care for the common good; I contribute to the community and do not worry about the fact that others do the same. Everybody serves everyone else: some people take care of safety, some trade, others manufacturing, some medicine, some education, etc.

This is the ideal. In reality, it is quite different. We live in a big world where nobody cares about others. On the contrary, we either neglect our neighbors or take advantage of them. As a result, something unclear, incomprehensible is filling the vacuum of irresponsibility and anarchy.

“Our People” Rule

But the purpose of the power large corporations acquire is to build a suitable system of services for themselves. This tiny tip of the pyramid of the world provides itself with everything it needs. They have their own schools, universities, medicine and so on.

When the Queen of Jordan needs medical treatment, she knows where to go. She is seen individually without regard to political or diplomatic relations of her country with others. At this level, they all are “together.”

Thus, corporations created a kind of “international government” that has a real power. After all, the main force in our world—it’s money.

Opinion (Hal Lewis, physicist): “It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist. Anyone who has the faintest doubt that this is so should force himself to read the ClimateGate documents, which lay it bare. (Montford’s book organizes the facts very well.) I don’t believe that any real physicist, nay scientist, can read that stuff without revulsion. I would almost make that revulsion a definition of the word scientist.

“So what has the APS, as an organization, done in the face of this challenge? It has accepted the corruption as the norm, and gone along with it…

“I do feel the need to add one note, and this is conjecture, since it is always risky to discuss other people’s motives. This scheming at APS HQ is so bizarre that there cannot be a simple explanation for it. Some have held that the physicists of today are not as smart as they used to be, but I don’t think that is an issue. I think it is the money, exactly what Eisenhower warned about a half-century ago. There are indeed trillions of dollars involved, to say nothing of the fame and glory (and frequent trips to exotic islands) that go with being a member of the club.”

My Comment: In our times, everything in the world is up for sale, or exchange for other benefits. This is evident in the awarding of Nobel prizes, the empty talk of the United Nations, UNESCO, etc. The circle closes and clearly reveals the primitive nature of humanity, the egoistic desire.

In principle, how is it possible to condemn these people if none of us is able to make the smallest movement without any benefit for oneself, which is the energy required for motion! Only a higher reward, the discovery of the Creator, can awaken and push a person to carry out altruistic movement.

From the News (Op-Ed): “Agreement on the Trans-Pacific Partnership was adopted by 12 nations, it gives private corporations even greater than that enjoyed by governments. It is not surprising that it is causing such a powerful storm of opposition among Nobel laureates, public opinion leaders, and legislators. …

“After the large corporations, in fact, took power over the legislative and governmental activity in individual countries, we have witnessed the further process – the transition from the corporate power of parliaments and governments to the state when the multinationals are global supranational rulers.

“The main feature of the agreement – a massive transfer of power and influence from the state to large multinational corporations. This agreement gives corporations the right to veto national public policy and, in fact, puts democracy and free trade outside of the law.”

My Comment: The inevitable natural development of the egoism is its expansion until it is like a cancer that devours itself. At the last moment before death occurs the awareness of death and the force to give up devouring the surrounding society. This is the “path of suffering.”

But there is also the “path of Light,” when, due to the dissemination of the wisdom of Kabbalah, under the influence of the Upper Light, the Ohr HaMakif (the Surrounding Light), the awareness that our world is basically a stepping stone to the upper world takes place, and we have no need for suffering and we consciously aspire to advance to the goal of our development that was established from the start.

In the News (To The Death Media):: It must be finally getting crunch time for the primary central banks around the world because on Oct. 10, the G30 group of global money printers admitted in a detailed report that the tens of trillions of dollars, euros, yen, and other currencies they have infused into the system has done absolutely nothing for local economies, and instead has accomplished what alternative economists stated would happen from the very beginning…

“Create asset bubbles, un-payable debt, and assure that there would be no sustainable growth. …

“Central banks have never had the primary purpose of protecting an economy , or judiciously regulating a nation’s money supply.  Instead their purpose, going back to their creations over the past 400 years, has been to protect private banks and through the tool of inflation, steal the wealth of a given country and then move on to new fields that are untouched by their locust instincts.  And with the U.S., Europe, Japan, and others standing on the precipice of near complete insolvency, the sociopaths within the global central banks are trying their best to deflect their failures onto someone else, and act like the results the world is experiencing was not their fault.”

My Comment: It is wonderful to discover that the egoistic world is collapsing and an altruistic world is being born. Even more wonderful is the help that is making its birth easier through the unity of those who want to be born together within a single new body, desire.
