Opinion (Javier Solana, former Foreign Minister of Spain, Secretary-General of NATO, and EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy): “The European Union remains the world’s largest economy. With a GDP of more than €15.5 trillion, it is larger than that of the United States. And, with 20% of world trade, the EU is also the world’s second-largest exporter and importer, after China and the US, respectively. The EU is, quite simply, the world’s leading commercial power.

“But this data cannot hide the fact that the institutional model that made today’s integrated Europe possible is inadequate to the problems created by the financial crisis. So we Europeans need to deepen European integration with much greater determination and speed. If we do not, there is a real risk that social discontent will undermine the EU’s foundations before we can complete the process of integration that will resolve the problems now blighting the lives of millions of people.

“Europe will need to bet on greater integration in order to escape this predicament. And, unavoidably, integration will lead to a united, coherent, and effective European foreign policy, one that is adapted to a world that is changing at dizzying speed.

“Today’s world is already multipolar. But multi-polarity provides no guarantee that the international system will be capable of being governed by common rules, without which global affairs will become much more dangerous and conflict-ridden.

“It is precisely here that Europe has something to offer the world. It is still the leader in institutional innovation – one of this century’s greatest needs – and is the best and most successful historical example of it, as its Nobel Peace Prize for 2012 acknowledged. …

“Our prosperity and the viability of our socioeconomic model are at stake. That should convince us that Europe’s states are too small to act globally on their own, and that European integration is the only viable path.”

My Comment: I would add one more condition: If the EU does not adopt an integral method of correction of the crisis (integral education), it will become a bad example for the whole world!

If we want to reach true peace, we have to let everyone know that our people need to unite. Only this will solve our problem. It has been proven by history; after all, once we used to exist only thanks to the connection among us and the ability to reach mutual guarantee, and thanks to that we became a nation.

The people of Israel are not an ordinary nation that exists because it came into being and developed in a certain geographical location. It is a group of people who left Babylon and decided to live according to the principle of “love thy friend as thyself.” It is only thanks to this that they became a nation, and this is our foundation. If there is not this foundation, we are not a nation and don’t feel that we belong to one another. It is only the hatred around us that brings us together and closes us as if in a sack of nuts. But in fact, if everything were okay with us, we would all disperse in every direction.

So we must understand that if it weren’t for our foundation, the general connection and mutual help, we wouldn’t be a nation living in its state. The whole world treats us as if there is something temporary in our country, but this is because we don’t build ourselves as a nation here, and we are not a nation by nature.

It is impossible, for example, to say that a Frenchman doesn’t belong to his nation. No matter where he goes he will feel that he belongs to his country. But a Jew who goes abroad stops feeling that he belongs to Israel to such an extent that he wants to vanish among the strangers and to be like them: a Frenchman or an American.

We lost the connection between us, the mutual guarantee, two thousand years ago. Now, after having returned to this land, we have to behave like we did in the past and only then will we be a nation!

Thanks to that we will achieve a lot. Now the whole world is in a critical state, affected by the general crisis in different aspects of life. The world is not connected either and so it cannot overcome the global crisis. It is already clear to everyone that we must unite. Everyone speaks about it, starting from prime ministers to all the media.

We are so connected worldwide that we will not be able to exist unless we have good relations. The whole world is in a constant decline and everyone is looking for a method that will enable us to connect.

Only the method that our nation has, that it used in the past and reached connection with, will help here. If we fulfill it now among our nation and return to mutual guarantee, we will serve as an example for the whole world.

This doesn’t mean that all the nations have to connect that way; they are already connected naturally. But by that we will set an example for them as to how the whole world should unite. There is no other solution. In order to overcome the general global crisis, we must all unite into one whole and the people of Israel should be an example for the whole world and present the method of connection to everyone.

There is a method of integral connection, which we are working on. This means that there is a solution, and all we have to do is bring it to the people and explain that this method is our salvation, the salvation is not only for the nation of Israel, but for the whole world. Thus we unite the nation not only within the borders of Israel, but we are also an example for the whole world, which is called “being a Light to the nations.”

By that we will see how the world overcomes the crisis. We will decrease the tension and the problems and solve the conflict with our neighbors, which is also caused by the lack of the right connection between everyone. The hate towards us, the forces, and the tension are all a result of the imbalance.

It was clear from the very beginning that the operation “A Pillar of Cloud” would end with the signing of the ceasefire agreement. What do Israelis feel now? One way or the other, there is a large portion of frustration and humiliation in this feeling.

The era of “victorious” wars has long since ended, and each conflict now leaves a more bitter aftertaste. In fact, Israeli citizens are under constant threat, in the crosshairs of the enemies who are “hanging” over the roofs and can reach everyone. Today, they are still unable to send thousands of precision guided missiles, but tomorrow they will have the opportunity. It’s clear to everyone.

Besides, Israel is bound by a “peace agreement,” which in fact is no more than a truce, the same agreement about a ceasefire. And as soon as the “second party” has a good opportunity, it immediately resumes military actions without advance notice.

So, Israelis now have to live under the constant threat of a sudden strike, sudden terrorist attack, or sudden war…. All his life a person will have a “notch” in his mind: Where can he hide in the allocated seconds or minutes. And will he be able to? This applies to the whole country, without exception. And if the siren didn’t work, so, bad luck…

For the most part, terrorists can carry out a joint attack, firing from various border areas hundreds or even thousands of missiles in a short time in order to break the most “intelligent” shields. And there’s nothing you can do. Simply put, their missile is a flying iron “pipe” with explosives, and it takes years of work of the best experts and anti-missile systems to intercept it, which costs a lot of money.

In short, people feel or soon will feel humiliated and helpless. And this feeling will grow among the people, all the more so after the ceasefire. After all, the enemies still insist. They will quickly recover their arsenal and damaged communication without experiencing a lack of people and money.

It turns out that Israel is in a bind. It has no answer, neither military, nor ideological, nor political.

The world downright asks of the Jews: “Leave this ‘lot,’ get out of it, and scatter all over the earth.” For example, Russia will invite them to Birobidzhan where there is plenty of pine trees, mosquitoes, and degrees Celsius, however in the minus range. “Please, we are wholeheartedly ready to give you this wonderful area. Live as you like!” And the world will warmly endorse this initiative and even will throw in a few billion, which will be stolen….

Today, people don’t know about this, but the Jews were already moved there: They were taken at night, whole families, and put on trains. It took two weeks, and you have arrived. To a place where there was nothing….

But worse things have happened: In 1938, after Kristallnacht when people were already thrown in death camps, Nazi Germany allowed nine hundred Jews to immigrate to Cuba. However, the ship with refugees who tried to escape from death was not permitted. In Havana, they were not allowed to disembark; President Roosevelt did not respond to a call for help; the U.S. Coast Guard ships did not allow them to come to the coast of Florida, and Canada responded with an official rejection.

They eventually sailed back to Europe, to meet certain death. Only due to the efforts of the head of the European office of the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, the ship was allowed port in Antwerp. As a result, about two-thirds of the passengers survived the war, and others, including the elderly and children, also perished in the concentration camps.

What did those people feel returning to Europe? They simply had nowhere to go. Everyone rejected them; the “civilized world” literally sent them to their death. And how far are the Jews from a similar situation today?

So, if today Israelis become aware that they have nowhere to escape, they will understand their purpose, they will understand that in this way they are forced to carry it out. It’s impossible to force a person to this in another way because by nature a human being does not accept the news of bestowal. So, the question is very serious: Either you want to find yourself on the doomed ship and wander, rejected by everyone, until you have accomplished your mission, or you get down to business in advance, without waiting for disaster.

People are starting to wonder about the reasons for what is happening. “Why should I live under fire?”

People feel unhappy and this should encourage them to find a solution. Otherwise the pressure will only increase, and the enemies will gain strength, which they did not have before.

The way out is to turn to the network of forces that connect us and reach harmony, mutual love. The solution is in us, and not in the war with enemies. Until we unite, troubles and problems will pressure us more, like nuts in a bag.

It is now, with the country in such a tense state, that we need to invest maximum efforts in order to understand that all these events are only triggers that are intended to bring us to correct decisions, to mutual guarantee. The main thing is to not return to the same level of separation when tomorrow the firing ceases, but to remain at the same level of concern and mutual thoughts that we feel today. At least not to descend from this degree, then it will already be good.

The recognition does not come immediately. It’s like in an acoustic system: First a wave enters, shakes the system, and a certain period of time is required in order for the system to come to equilibrium and stabilize. Only in the end is a response formed at the exit. The same thing is happening today. We need to accept the state, and go through all the four stages of attainment, the recognition, the comparison, the whole process of development, that at the end we’ll finally understand it and make a decision. It will mean that we got this degree, integrated it within us and will no longer descend from it.

For this, we must go through many internal actions, and mainly go through them consciously. And this is not done quickly and easily. Our role is to help this process by constant dissemination in order to bring everybody to connection, to participation in workshops, to explain in all ways, by any means, where possible. This is the maximum that we can do.

We know that we are doing the right thing if we are acting for the sake of connection. The connection is required for us and not only so that the missile assault would stop. Otherwise, it turns out that we want to neutralize the upper force that pushes us forward. Rather we want to attain the goal to which this war is awakening us. It wants to push us to making the right decision and to advance. So let’s make this decision and advance, and then we’ll see that the threat disappears, resolved in a good way.

We constantly ask ourselves, “What next?” and obviously that further on it will be worse, in half a year, a year. The situation will only exacerbate and the conflict will not stop. So how can we finally resolve this problem? Do we have the opportunity or not?

We see how the upper Providence brings all these problems to us, forcing us to build the enemy before us. There is no decision here other than to first hold onto the goal to which all these calamities bring us. If we reveal the force of mutual guarantee between us, it will fulfill everything, and in our connection, the upper force, the Light, will begin to act. Then we won’t have any problems, and we’ll always have extra strength and will make the right decisions.

Question: We disseminate our ideas so that the whole world will reach connection, but in the meantime there are many wars and conflicts all over the world. What can we do so that the connection will take place now?

Answer: First of all, we have to bring about connection among the people of Israel. With regard to the correction, whatever happens in the land of Israel, will also happen all over the world. All the problems in every part of the world, whether in Sudan or in the Basque region of Spain, will stop when the problems encountered by the people of Israel stop. This is where the root of everything is, and if we correct it, the whole world will calm down.

This is the reason that all the nations of the world blame the Jews: “Your are to blame that we feel bad.” And they are right. By that we should understand where the correction is: The abundance that the Nation of Israel can draw will flow through it to the world. In this general system, this nation is the link to the Light, but they cannot draw the Light only for themselves, they have to hold on to the intention for the whole world. Then the whole world will be peaceful.

On the other hand, as long as the Israeli nation doesn’t draw the Light, our enemies will not leave us, since the problem is actually not our enemies or our friends, but this is how the Creator awakens the Israeli nation to draw the Light for the whole world. Then the world will become similar to the Creator.

Question: So what do we lack in order to reach connection?

Answer: Just to be a bit wiser. We cannot digest this yet; we don’t see the system that way in order to understand that, we simply have no other choice. The general mutual connection remains invisible.
For example, there are still arguments about cutting Greece off from the EU, and although the Europeans already understand that it will only lead to new problems, they are still managed by financial considerations. They cannot take into account the real troubles that are expected.

Individuals, nations and all of humanity have not yet “digested” the globalization of the mutual connection of the general system. We are the problem, since we cannot disseminate the method correctly. We think that it is enough to simply study. In the meantime the inner fire is growing, and we are nearing an explosion. On a global scale and with regards to the Israeli nation the situation is very worrisome…

Special Edition: Events in Southern Israel

Friends, brothers, we need to find a solution to our problems. And for that we need to understand their true cause. They stem from the law of nature that develops us in a certain direction—towards unity.

Actually, it is not complex; however, this decision is contrary to our egoism, and thus we cannot see it. I do not accept the idea that I need to change myself; I do not understand what it means to “Love your neighbor as yourself.” But time is running, and we will have to turn to unity, in the worst case, under the real threat of destruction. By definition, the people of Israel have to be “as one man with one heart.” And when it begins to realize its destiny, all the troubles will recede, all the storms will subside.

The main thing is to start. After all, a person gets strength from the environment. So, if we act together, everyone will start to change, by being included in the process. We teach children to be kind and sympathetic; we reprove their antagonism and conflicts. It is time for adults to work on themselves. This is a simple solution—a “pill” that is easy to take. Let’s try, and the results will be immediate. Why do we need wars and terrorist attacks? Instead of war, public opinion and working together should be used, and Hamas will step aside.

Let’s reflect on mutual guarantee—not to win over the external enemy, but over the internal one. And the rest will come. It is the people of Israel who should initiate this process that will spread to the whole world.

Under fire people begin to realize what mutual guarantee is. But how can they unite their hearts in earnest, without regard to the missiles? How can they feel like one happy family?

For this purpose, the method of Kabbalah has existed for thousands of years. This method is divided into two areas:

1. Education—a few lessons to introduce people to the course.

2. Joint events that allow you to experience what we still know only in theory.

Today the Jewish people are lacking unity in the human stage of development. This is the “Egyptian exile”—when a person suffers from its own egoism. At first, he seems a good “king,” but over time it becomes clear that he sucks all the juice out of the planet and of ourselves.

By the will of this “Pharaoh,” we have polluted almost all that is possible, in nature, as well as in relations between us. There is a crisis, what is called the “seven lean years” when we realize that our ego is literally killing us. We want to use others, instead of being a guarantor to each other.
