A Good Future Depends Upon Discovering The Upper Force

Dr. Michael LaitmanQuestion: You are saying that the entire world has to reveal the upper force. What does its revelation mean?

Answer: To reveal the upper force means to identify oneself with that single force that controls all of creation. I clarify that this force embraces and fills our entire world, is everywhere, connects all parts, and according to its program, brings them together towards a goal.

Question: Physical forces reveal themselves this way. They transports objects from place to place, change states and movement. How does the upper force reveal itself?

Answer: Physical forces are also a part of the one upper force. When the upper force is revealed, I understand its program, the thought of creation, the process of development and its goal. I discover my place, my role in this program and in the entire history of humanity. I understand what I must do in order to implement my mission in the most correct and efficient way. Thereby I assure the best, most correct, and most secure existence for myself.

All of the negative pressure that we feel is designed to push us towards discovering the Creator, towards discovering the upper force, its program, process, and goal.

Question: Why are all the signs that the time has come to discover the upper force unpleasant: anti-Semitism, war, and social problems?

Answer: All of these are signs that the time has arrived for everyone. It begins with the Jews and then the rest of the nations as well. We will discover the reason for our existence, what kind of a world we exist in, for what purpose, and how to attain a good and secure life. The entire world is in a great crisis.

All of the troubles come to us from the upper force forcing us to discover it. If we turn that development in a good direction, good events will happen. If we don’t, the situation just will continue to become more severe until there are wars, really. Whether good or bad events happen depends upon us.

Question: If the upper force is approaching us, how can this cause a problem?

Answer: The upper force awakens us with all kinds of pressures and threats, calling to us to discover it. Thus, we have to understand that we will not be able to get along without it.

The people of Israel have to understand that a good future for them depends upon revealing the upper force. So, it is necessary to explain the method of revealing this upper force to everyone. For this, we need to begin getting closer to each other. In this way, we build the right network of connections between us. We create for ourselves the conditions for discovering the Creator.

Question: In what way are the people in whom the upper force is revealed differentiated?

Answer: If the people are connected, united, and linked with “and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself,” then the upper force will be revealed in them. However, if the people exist as they do today, we will discover states in them that are the opposite of love. This means mutual hatred and separation.

Accordingly, the negative side of the Creator, meaning His absence, becomes  revealed within us in the form of all kinds of troubles in our lives: wars, a struggle to exist, and disputes between us.

All this indicates that we lack the Creator between us. However, if we begin to connect, we will approach discovery of the Creator more and more, according to the degree of our connection and unity.

The Essential Secret Of The Jews, Part 20

From the book: The Essential Secret of the Jews, M. Brushtein

The Postulates Of The Theory of Integrality

The farther we advance in the historical process, the more complex the structure of society becomes. More interrelations are manifested in it.

A lack of understanding and feeling of each other has reached a critical point.

The task of forming of the human being is ahead of us.

For the last two hundred years, we have been indulging our growing egoism.

Only gradual education will change human beings and bring about positive changes in the social and national structures.

The Essential Secret Of The Jews, Part 19

From the book: The Essential Secret of the Jews, M. Brushtein.

“Fundamental Principles of the Integral Theory”

Back To Socialism

“When the people of Israel were standing at Mount Sinai, the readiness (i.e., ability) and power to disseminate spiritual values were already inherent in their souls.” (Da’at Tevunot, Ramchal)

There Was No Socialism

We have found out that people are social beings from birth. We also see that throughout history, people do only one thing—try to unite and connect with each other. In addition, consciously or unconsciously, we appreciate those who contribute to unification, even ruthless conquerors.

A reasonable question arises: “Why are we still not united?”

Obviously, there is a reason, and the reason is serious. Perhaps, because of this reason all the “unifying” ideas fail. Previously, it was socialism; today, the European Union is on the verge of collapse.

Really, why didn’t socialism happen? After all, many people, not only the Bolsheviks, understood and accepted the socialist idea.

“If in Europe there are friends of justice, they should respectfully bow before this revolution, which for the first time in human history has tried to establish people′s power, acting in interests of the people. Born in deprivation, increased among famine and war, the Soviet government had not yet completed the design of its vast and not yet carried out a kingdom of justice. But she, at least, has laid its foundations.” (Anatole France [1844-1924] – French poet, journalist, and novelist)

Whatever happened after the Revolution, and no matter how people related to it, but even back in the mid 80-ies of the last century, nothing suggested that socialism was doomed.

“The developed socialism of the USSR is characterized by highly productive forces, providing a significant change in the economy towards an increasingly complete satisfaction of people’s various material and cultural needs.

“Organic integrity and dynamism of the social system, which relies on transformation of the union between the working class and the peasantry into the union of all the workers of physical and mental labor, establishes a historically new social and international community – the Soviet people.” (Academic Dictionary)

You see that even a community, unknown until then, was formed. And suddenly, as by a wave of magic wand, everything was changed. The dictionary that recently lauded socialism as a great achievement, now angrily denounces it.

“It (socialism) was monstrous even at its birth in the struggle to transform private property into public. With its expropriation of all classes of property owners – not only capitalists, but of the whole mass of owner-workers: peasants, artisans, traders, freelancers and independent workers – which include the vast majority of the population.

“Organized dominance of one class over all others, extreme centralism, terror, forced labor, total power of the state, the only party, iron discipline, control of dissent – this is not a complete list of the tools that socialism adopted to achieve its goals.” (Academic Dictionary)

I do not want to say anything about philosophers, but the very fact that these diametrically opposed wordings makes one wonder. The question is: how they can be trusted?

It is interesting to note that socialism, more than any other system, is correlated with the Jews. Most often, they are blamed for it, and it does not matter whether for the establishment of this regime or for its collapse.

“The Jews were, are, and will be blamed for everything. And all of them are to blame. Even he who is just to be born…

The Jews are to blame for establishing the Soviet power; they are also responsible for ruining the Soviet regime. The Jews who are leaving the country are to blame for their leaving, those who stay – for staying…“

War For Hearts And Minds

Dr. Michael LaitmanQuestion: Israel repeatedly encounters irrational situations with conflicts that it cannot resolve in Israel’s favor. For example, even though Israel has an absolute superiority in armaments, it cannot succeed because the fighting is in residential areas. The entire world attentively watches us and doesn’t let us act as we would like to.

In fact, we are bound hand and foot; we evoke hatred all around us. In addition, the center of gravity in contemporary wars has shifted to the struggle to win over public opinion. Social approval defines success. Does this situation contain a hint of how it can be resolved?

Answer: Indeed, wars are not about weapons but about influencing human minds. The outcome of any war depends on the state of those minds who decide who is right and who is wrong, not on who is stronger on the battlefield. So those who are more cunning, deceitful, and devious win.

In short, war is not longer the way it was before. Powerful armies, military technologies, and modern weapons yield to media-arsenal. Very often, battles unfold only between different points of view.

This state of affairs brings us close to the idea of “Israeli wars” in its true sense. Previously, we led real “Israeli wars” to represent the category of “Israel” that means being as one man with one heart, i.e., to be one whole. By meeting this condition, we were similar to the Upper Light, the force that pours on us and governs us. This is the way we attained our victories.

Today, after two thousand years of exile, having fallen from the spiritual height of unity, we have to re-connect with each other. Therefore, whether we want it or not, our wars still bear an ideological character as before. In other words, they again are led on the battlefield of views to unite.

In the future, ideology (information that we receive, thoughts and concepts that are imposed on us) will again turn into the weapon. At this time, our world is so riddled in liaisons between all of its parts that if we dissect the globe into pieces, if we isolate countries from each other, none of them would be able to survive on its own. This pertains to Israel more than any other country because Israel totally depends on international trade and industrial connections with America, Europe, and Asia. What would happen to us should we stop our imports and exports? Other countries are not in a much better situation.

This explains why it is impossible to wage war and enjoy complete permissiveness. Countries are restricted by the UN and international bodies. We constantly face a threat of sanctions and limitations, up to boycotts that can take many forms and reach a variety of levels. If you block international trade and financial flows, any country begins to choke and feels as if it is in restraints. Nothing can be done about it. Any country constantly interacts with the entire world.

So, it means that weapons are useless; nobody can take advantage of military arms without taking into consideration the interests of others because they will block the “oxygen” that flows to the country and it will quickly suffocate. Global economics imposes a heavy burden of dependency and makes us rely on good relationships with our partners.

As a consequence of this reliance, the entire world impacts us and directs our steps whether we want it or not. For example, Russia experiences harsh sanctions that were imposed on it. This country loses billions of dollars as a result of these sanctions and that’s why it cannot do whatever it wants.

War is a business where profits and losses are precisely calculated. Today, losses can be so tremendous that there will be no funds to fight a future war.

So, it means that any military conflict requires at least a minimum of the world’s support.

Question: Does it mean that if we don’t get the world’s support, there is no chance for us to win?

Answer: True! The current situation doesn’t give us even the slightest chance of winning. We agree to temporary “solutions” that will last for another year or two.

There is no actual resolution to this situation until we drag the majority of the world to our side. How is it possible? The only way to achieve it is to persuade them that they need us, that we are the “light for the nations,” and that through us they can approach abundance. In other words, they should understand that they will never obtain abundance without us, nor will they be able to buy it with money.

There are no miracles here, only the laws of nature. Kabbalah is a wisdom that lets us make accurate calculations under the condition that we deeply understand how the general system works.

Internal Separation Is More Frightening Than The External Enemy

Dr. Michael LaitmanQuestion: What does it mean that all of the people are connected?

Answer: To connect means to be in harmony with nature. A people that reaches harmony with nature is connected from within, similar to all levels of nature: the still, vegetative, and animate.

All the levels and parts of nature are connected into one system. The inanimate nature supports the vegetative and the vegetative supports the animate. All of the parts of nature are included in one another and are in a closed sphere, except for Adam (man).

Humans are a unique phenomenon on the face of the earth because according to their primary nature, they are destructive. This was arranged intentionally to give us the possibility, through our efforts,  to link ourselves with nature in the same unified and integral form into one collective system.

People who work on themselves in this way to connect with each other and after that join all of integral nature are called “Jews.” Indeed, they aspire to unity, love, connection, and loving-kindness.

And this correction must gradually extend over all of humanity. Our forefather Abraham, who lived in ancient Babylon, began this correction when he gathered all the people who agreed with the idea; with them he organized a group. This group became the foundation of the people of Israel.

The next stage in the advancement of this group was standing before Mount Sinai. There the people accepted upon themselves the realization of the condition of being as one person with one heart. In this form, they became the people of Israel in whose foundation is the principle of unity.

The people of Israel are not like the rest of the peoples who have formed communities in particular territories and bear national characteristics in their genes. Every Frenchman who wants to, can go through conversion, become a Jew and cease being French. This means that he takes these conditions upon himself and connects with the people of Israel.

In our times, this unity doesn’t exist, and this is a sign that we are in exile. Exile means separation, and redemption is the unity of the people. Today we are not a people, but a bunch of exiles.

Comment: But our conflict with the Palestinians is more disturbing to me than the internal divisions among the people of Israel!

Answer: The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians is impossible to solve without an inner connection between us. Soon this conflict will become a confrontation against the whole world and It will then be impossible to leave here for any place abroad.

Events will develop in this way such that we cannot do anything with our neighbors. They will be able to shoot rockets at us whenever they want, we will not be able to react because the whole world will scream at us about each victim on the other side, and so our hands will be absolutely tied.

At most we could blow up some empty houses in the Palestinian territory, but we don’t win the war that way.

Israel will stand against the whole world, not just against the Arabs. Indeed, the whole world stands behind the Arabs and threaten us: “Don’t dare kill anyone!” And when the Arabs kill Jews, the world doesn’t pay attention to this. And what can we do in such a hopeless situation?

There are people who suggest that we ignore the whole world, enter Gaza and annihilate them all. But how much can we allow ourselves to behave like this? Tomorrow UN resolutions will be accepted and all of the nations will sever connections with us: cooperation, trade, banking and industrial relations. Israel is liable to be absolutely isolated, and this will kill us. In the world of today, no nation can exist if it is not connected to other nations.

Question: But what can be done if the situation continues to deteriorate? The terrorists will become more sophisticated. They pop up out of the sea and out of the ground, from everywhere! If once the rockets reached the southern cities, today they arrive reach everywhere in the country. And you say that it is forbidden to annihilate them because we will be isolated in the international arena?

Answer: But we cannot annihilate Gaza. All the people who call for this are simply making a short-term political image for themselves. Everyone understands that the world will not allow us to do this. This is absolutely clear. What controls the world is international public opinion and not governmental opinion.

And the whole world expresses a unified opinion against Israel. In this situation we have no solution other than the inner unity of the people. If we begin to work on relationships within Israeli society, we will become an example for the whole world, and these beautiful relationships will endear us to the whole world. In this form, the situation in the world will calm down in all areas, from the family and businesses to international relations and politics.

And for this it is not necessary to wait until the connection of the people of Israel will come to a complete expression. The moment we begin to make efforts in the direction of this connection, we will immediately see how the whole world and even the enemies, our neighbors, will immediately change their attitude towards us.

It is enough for us to place one sesame seed on the balance for the good of the unity of the people of Israel and our enemies will add a ton of seeds for the good of connection and good relations with Israel.

Incessant War

Dr. Michael LaitmanQuestion: Almost every one of us is sure that he knows very well how to run the country and what he would do instead of the Ministers or the Prime Minister. Today there is a truly difficult task before us, to restore quiet to the nation. We are analyzing the situation, suggesting various ideas and solutions. How do you see the situation that has been created? How would you define it?

Answer: Any person with a healthy common sense sees a small nation found in a very hostile environment. And since our enemies are Arabs, it is worthwhile for us to learn about their mentality.

This is talking about a very ancient, uncompromising, and petulant people who know how to stand on their own and get their way, if not today, then in a thousand years, it doesn’t matter. They have sufficient patience, stamina, and endurance. If they have a goal, then they simply advance towards it, ready to maintain their direction in the coming moment and for another thousand years until they achieve their result.

They have a goal which is to take the land into their hands, including Jerusalem, as we know. And besides this, the Jewish people and the Arabs are very close in their origins, and in spite of this, the Arabs are accustomed to disregard us. They adopted particular things from the people of Israel like the Christians did, and since then they hate us because we Jews have lost the connection with our roots. But from our side we assume that there is a chance of changing the situation.

It could be that this is derived from the Ashkenazi that founded the state of Israel according to their sense of things, without becoming deeply familiar with the people who lived here. The founders thought that it was possible to be friends with the Arabs, to be good neighbors so as to develop together with them and thrive on the basis of equality and mutual understanding. All this was very strange to the Arab people and in their opinion unacceptable, for their mentality is absolutely different. There were no points of contact between the two peoples, they could not “digest” each other.

But for some reason we continue to hope. I don’t understand the source of this strange hope that we are ready to make peace with our neighbors, for there to be coexistence between two peoples who help and support each other and visit one another as good neighbors.

They don’t think this way at all, and they are not prepared to compromise; according to their understanding this is simply not plausible. Even in Europe they are gradually conquering the nations that give them refuge and are devouring the people who live there in order to make room for them only. They need to take control, period. No less and no more. Even if this will take hundreds or thousands of years, that is not terrible. At the end of the matter their final goal is to wave the green flag of Islam above the whole earth.

That is how they advance in life. There are places where they succeed in invading more and there are places where they invade less. They have entered Russia in a very organized and precise manner, quietly but steadily. They join the army, penetrating everywhere, they are ready to settle even in Siberia and they establish for themselves spiritual and social centers everywhere.

They know how to work with the local population; they gradually convert them into the Muslim religion. This expansion is taking place at a different rate in Russia, in Europe, and in America.

We recognize this trend all over the world, and the time has come to compare it to what is happening with us, to understand that we and the Arabs will never be friends. They will always be eager to throw us out for better or for worse. And we must constantly contend with them in order to remain here. And if we were to leave already, it must be to a place where they cannot touch us.

In principle, the Arabs are not against the Jews, as was common among the Christians. No, they are not so much anti-Semitic as anti-Israel. It is impossible to say that they hate the Jews more than other peoples. They hate the nation of Israel, for in their eyes this is an artificial “creation.” But if we leave here they will not hurt us. Beyond that, they would stop the assaults on Jews living abroad. For if Israel didn’t exist, then there would be no need to fight against us either.

So Arab hatred is directed not against the Jews, but against the nation of Israel, and this hatred will never be extinguished. In spite of all the arguments that we invent, in spite of all the quotations from the Koran that speak in support of the Jews, in the present situation nothing will help. They know only one thing, that all those who are living here must fold everything up and leave or they must slaughter them. These are the moral values of the Arab people; a knife for them is like a part of their hand.

So this war will never stop. On the contrary, we are talking about an endless war that has no solution and is conducted by different means. This is recognized, it is known to many investigators and to people all over the world who understand something.

I have no good news for the people or the leaders of the country if they still develop vain hopes about this. If we are talking about the existence of the nation of Israel, it is up to us to arm ourselves and be a number of steps ahead of our neighbors all the time, to always be ready for war so that we can stop them immediately, for we have nowhere to retreat.

During a war we don’t have room or time to maneuver, for world opinion is always pressuring us, tying our hands and not making it possible to stop the military operations to provide quiet for ourselves for ten or twenty years. The world loves it when we strike our enemies, but they know that at some point they must stop it for us. Many nations solve their problems with our help and after we finish our job, they immediately stop us and oblige us to sign peace agreements, as a result it imposes we are losing.

If we look at the situation realistically, we find ourselves retreating from security more and more. Every year it is becoming more and more difficult for us to guarantee the existence of the nation. The international position regarding us is becoming more and more rigid, and soon we will find ourselves without external support.

Even the United States is alienating itself from us and also encourages other nations to do so. This accustoms us to rely upon ourselves alone. It is clear that the American Jews support this policy because they suffer from a problem of identity, identification. They would prefer that the nation of Israel would cease to exist, for then nobody would blame them for supporting the nation of Israel.

So we find ourselves isolated from the whole world. This is no longer just a conflict with our neighbors. Incidentally, alliances against Israel are also expanding among them, and as a result of this the entire Muslim world participates in our wars (to one degree or another). Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt, all these nations are involved in what is happening today. In addition to all of these, Europe and America are also exerting pressure on us.

If this continues, I don’t know what will happen to us in the next war or in the next campaign, according to what is happening to us today. This time, the United States is openly acting against us. I don’t mean with words, but with deeds. They temporarily closed our airspace, stopped us from destroying the military infrastructure of Hamas and so forth. Generally, the Americans maintain the situation so that the fire can break out again the moment that they want it. But we want to reduce the military threat for a while, to stop the transfer of weapons into Gaza. In brief, I don’t see a chance for the future if we continue to behave as previously. Nevertheless, I don’t see any problem with our continuing to live in peace and quiet, in connection and fellowship with all of our neighbors, not only with them but with all the nations of the world.

It is clear that as of today, every nation depends upon both its neighbors and the whole world. But the solution is found with us, the key is in our hands. After all, we are prepared to change the world so that the spirit of connection, understanding, friendship, contact and even mutual love will permeate everything and obligate all peoples, all nations, to join in a general movement of connection.

This possibility, this remedy is found specifically with the people of Israel. And it is up to us to teach how to activate the good power of connection. It descends upon us, or the opposite, it arises from us, filling everyone and obligating us to reach good, humane ties with everyone.

The whole world requires this. In the Middle Eastern conflict, and in general in the overall development of humanity, we have reached a general internal and external crisis. It extends among the nations and in relationships between nations so much so that we are standing on the threshold of World War III. It is clear to everyone that the situation is dangerous, but we are not ready to stop ourselves. The natural development of human society has rolled along to conditions that are similar to what existed on the eve of the First and Second World Wars. Also today as then, the process is irreversible. Even though we don’t want to enter into war, without a choice we are deteriorating into a state of war and are very close to it.

World-renowned experts suggest this, but they have no solution to the problem. For the first time in history, the general human development indicates that we are advancing towards World War III. We understand but together with this, we see that we are not prepared to resist it, as if a force from Above is building the situation and pushing us into the abyss.

Together with this, it is good that we identify this state in advance and understand the hopelessness of the state that is being created. For at this point the people of Israel can offer the world the method of connection, the method of correction of human society that will prevent war.

Otherwise the Arab-Israeli conflict will seem like something small if the “Arab Spring” extends all over the world. As of today, opposition between large blocks is beginning to be formed: West and East, China, and South America. And in continuation a major conflict between Islam and Christianity will take place. And we will be in the middle. Not only historians have spoken about this, but also our sources….

Question: Is there a threat of religious war?

Answer: A war of civilizations; a war of human purpose. There is a division into large bodies where each has a particular idea about the purpose of creation, the place of their existence within the general system. This is also connected to material values, world control, and spiritual control including spiritual symbols that are perceived by them as something eternal, as of supreme value.

So only we, Israel, can break through the trend, awakening the fundamental positive force of nature, the power that vitalizes it. This can fill all of humanity and awaken it to connection. The essence of this power is connection. So it vitalizes, activates the nature of the still, vegetative, and animate and can also awaken the level of the speaking, provided that we awaken in order to catch and absorb it.

Find The Formula For Happiness

Dr. Michael LaitmanHappiness is not measured by wealth or by the size of one’s house, not with how many electrical appliances there are in the kitchen, nor by success in business. It is impossible to measure it with material values.

First of all, the feeling of happiness is not subjective; it encompasses whole groups of people. On the one hand, there is a measurement of integrality in the index of happiness: If everyone around me is miserable, I cannot be happy.

Let’s say I can feel strong, this is also temporary because this also requires confirmation from some part of the society. The happiness could be felt in collective unity when there is support and agreement between the people.

Secondly, even though the person wants to achieve what has been taught by society: money, status, power, fame, and so forth, essentially he subconsciously is seeking a feeling of happiness. But since they don’t teach him this, he remains miserable all of his life with a feeling of a lack of real fulfillment. In his latter days of life, when he looks at the past, he understands that there was no benefit to his life: not for himself, not for his children or grandchildren; they, like him, will not be happy.

So finding the formula for happiness and teaching it to others is the most important thing in life. Moreover, if you don’t teach others, then you cannot be happy yourself, because the feeling of happiness, as studies have shown, depends on this being felt among the people around you. This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah is involved with.

A Time To Act As One Man With One Heart

Dr. Michael LaitmanIsrael is at war. There has never been such war before. For the first time, rockets of Israel-haters almost cover our whole country. Today in the firing range are five million Israelis. Previously, Israel was divided into climatic zones; but today, minutes and seconds were added into this division. It’s the time allotted to us and to our children to hide from incoming missiles.

We are fighting and we will be fighting until we win, but that is not the reason. Hatred motivates our enemy: How can we overcome it? We supply them with food, electricity, treat their wounded and we exchange the body of our soldiers for hundreds of live terrorists. We agree to a “humanitarian” ceasefire. And what do we get in return? Only hatred and anger.

And if it were just our neighbors. What about the internal enemies? Riots in Jerusalem, as well as the demonstrations in Judea and Samaria last week, are vivid examples.

How does the world respond to what is happening? Brazil and Ecuador are withdrawing their ambassadors. Anti-Israel demonstrations are taking place in  Germany, France, England, Italy, and other countries. They unanimously require that we get out of Gaza. In other words, they want us to not interfere with Hamas who are digging tunnels and firing rockets at us.

The whole world, not saying a word, is united against us, and us: “Where is our unity!?”

When missiles are falling on Tel Aviv, some of our people go to the streets with demonstrations against our combat with Hamas. When rioters in Paris burn shops of French Jews, American Jews protest in Manhattan with signs “Boycott Israeli Apartheid.”

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

History repeats itself in a horrible way. Haters of Jews are united among themselves, and the Jews are either passive, or, on the contrary, show examples of self-destructive indifference.

Before the looming Holocaust, the eminent Kabbalist of the 20th century, Baal HaSulam asked, even begged, the Jewish people to unite, but no one listened to him. Here is what he wrote in the editorial of the first and, at the same time, last issue of HaUma (The Nation) published on June 5, 1940:

If we don’t hope for a miracle, it becomes clear that our existence—both individually and as a nation—is teetering on the scales of life and death.

If we lose time and do not rise together as one man in order to apply tremendous effort needed in the hour of danger, saving for ourselves the remaining part of Israel, then the events, happening now, will turn rampant, as the situation unfolds according to the will of our enemies, who intend to wipe us from the face of Earth.

It is also clear that the enormous efforts on the path, which lies before us and containing abundant obstacles, will require unity, firm and unbreakable as steel, of every part of our people without exception.

HOW TO UNITE

Unfortunately, few people know that Kabbalah is primarily a method of unity. Throughout history, Kabbalists united people, but there were always external and more often, internal forces that prevented this. When the idea of unity prevailed among the nation, it won, and when the nation was torn by internal contradictions, its enemies defeated it.

Today, Kabbalists are again make every effort to unite the people of Israel, and the best opportunity to experience the real power of unity are in the discussion circles that are held across the country.

With the help of the Kabbalistic method of unity, it is possible to overcome any barrier: mentality, origin, age, political views, or any other. Common efforts can overcome rejection, disagreement, and misunderstanding. We are all different, but we can become “as one man with one heart!”

Answer: This is not what is required. It is necessary only to begin to be involved with uniting the people. This is called the wisdom of Kabbalah, the wisdom of connection and unity. The wisdom of Kabbalah speaks only about this.

The wisdom of Kabbalah explains the structure of the world and the great collective system that manages it. The upper higher system of management is designed to help people understand and attain it. And it is only possible by detaching from it and learning it gradually from this state.

It is precisely due to our division, separation, and shattered state that we slightly begin to discover this higher system of conduct,“as far as light excelleth darkness,” (Ecclesiastes 2:13). This system is singular, complete, integral, and analog; we must gradually build ourselves the same way within.

The moment we connect between us in a general common “circle” where we are all are equal, where all friends help each other and are connected together with love, then the higher system begins to act in a good way towards us and helps us. Then we advance towards the good.

But Israel is at the center of all humanity, at the foundation of all religions and faiths. And so, the moment we begin to advance towards the good by uniting to be like one person with one heart, we immediately pass this good power to the whole world.

The whole world also begins to feel itself as circular, linked. Suddenly everyone understands how wonderful it is to be in connection with others and how much individuality, competition, and our thirst for money and control harms us. On the contrary, it is much better to be equal and united together.

This attitude comes rom Israel and influences the entire world. All of humanity then begins to receive a round form like this. In this manner, instead of being a negative source, Israel becomes a source of good for the whole world.

Such a task stands before us: “becoming a light to the nations.” This is the main thing that we must do.

Certainly as long as missiles are falling upon us it is necessary to fight and defend ourselves, to stop them. But we must understand that the military operation itself will not lead to any solution. Everyone already understands this. We will have no place in this world if we remain as we are.

The army is imperative until we connect among us to the degree that Hamas will eliminate its missiles and tunnels itself, thanks to our influence. They are linked with us, and through our separation within the people of Israel, we invite their fire upon us.

That is how they unconsciously are fighting with the evil found within us. And the moment we transform our evil into good and cover ourselves with love, a protective dome of love instead of the Iron Dome anti-missile system, our enemies will become friends and will also want to join us and learn from us.

They all fiercely want to be with us, but through our internal separation we reject them, send them away, and produce hatred in them, and cause all the disasters in the world.

Question: What evil are you talking about? Other people in our position would have already annihilated such hostile neighbors. Instead we are healing our enemies in our hospitals at the height of the war.

Answer: This is not what they want from us at all. Our hospitals don’t interest them at all. They want to receive a new human nature so that they will participate together with us and the whole world. Then connection and love will prevail, creating a circle of unity.
