In the News (from Info Wars): “A prominent UN agency has issued a warning that the globe is hurtling toward a long recession, a 40 million worldwide job shortage and an increase in large scale social unrest.

“Outlining that the globe faces a ‘new and deeper jobs recession,’ the report, titled World of Work Report 2011: Making Markets Work for Jobs, warns that job creation is slowing and worldwide unemployment stands at a record of more than 200m.

“The upshot of such massive shortages in employment will, according to the ILO, result in greater social unrest in 45 different countries.

“‘This is especially the case in advanced economies, notably the EU, the Arab region and to a lesser extent, Asia,’ it [the report] said.

“The report pinpoints the greatest risk of social unrest to Greece, Portugal, Spain, Estonia, France, Slovenia, and Ireland.

“Without counter-measures, the crisis will likely unleash a recession that could last a decade or more, the report adds.”

My Comment: Obviously, “the bosses” do not understand the plan and course of nature to bring humanity into similarity and balance with it. This means establishing a balance between receiving and giving, like in any balanced system. We have put the system of nature out of balance and now must bring it into full harmony by our own conscious efforts. Thus, we will understand the plan of nature and rise to the next stage of our development (evolution).

In the News: (from utro.ru): “An intergovernmental group of experts on climate change explained how global warming threatens humanity. According to the report…in the near future, our civilization will face devastating rains and severe droughts. The impact of the climate will be so strong that many regions will become uninhabitable, and after extreme weather, a social explosion is inevitable. The climate change will affect primarily the middle latitudes: Europe, China, and North America.”

Opinion: (Christine Lagarde, the IMF Chief): “Ms Lagarde said the ongoing debt crisis in Europe has resulted in an uncertain outlook for the global economy.

“The head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, has warned that the global economy is at risk of being plunged into a ‘lost decade.’

“‘Our sense is that if we do not act boldly and if we do not act together, the economy around the world runs the risk of downward spiral of uncertainty, financial instability and potential collapse of global demand,’ she said.”

My Comment: The downfall of the egoistic economy will happen anyway, and it will continue until we establish an integral global economic community built on the basis of global mutual guarantee, like cogwheels in a single mechanism, in order to bring our civilization to balance with nature. It entails reasonable consumption where: everyone gets only what’s necessary for healthy existence with the excess being distributed to the needy, we perform only necessary work, no one accumulates and stores the surplus, and citizens dedicate all their free time to the creation of the correct environment, whose influence will create from us, egoists, an integral altruistic society similar to Nature.

Until we consciously achieve this state, Nature will bring suffering (crises and wars) upon us—the revelation of our lack of balance with Nature. No revival of the systems of our society will take place in the future: We are heading downwards until we understand the need for personal and social correction.

In the News (from expert.ru): “In Spain, the unemployment rate is the highest among developed countries, more than double the European average of 9.3%. Even in Greece, it is 17.6%. Unemployment among young Spaniards is 45.8% and is not expected to decline; many people are ending a three year period of unemployment benefits.

“The fund for long-term unemployed is melting; a family with two children receives 1400 euro per month. As unemployment increases, social tension is growing: It gave birth to Spain’s protest movement ‘los indignados’ (the indignant).”

My Comment: There is no other choice but to organize education and upbringing to prepare the masses for interacting in the new world, with cooperation and balance in society and with nature. This will produce positive forces, which will gradually bring the whole society into balance. Otherwise, the growing social tension will lead to a civil war again….

Opinion: (Lang Xianping, international economist, professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong): “Lang Xianping, a famous Chinese economist, exposed ‘the inside information of Chinese economy’ in his speech on 22nd October. Based on his own data, China’s GDP has not only not increased, but has shrunk by 10%. He even predicted that China will go the same way as Japan in terms of economic development since the government is already deep in debt – maybe even by 36 billion – and doomed to go bankrupt.

“In his speech he said, ‘Only in China do we see such a terrifying investment market. Our stock market has been in continuous decline, yet other markets, such as the real state, automobile, luxury, and antique markets have been expanding rapidly. Our nation is sick, deeply sick.’

“He pointed out, ‘The data published by the National Statistics Bureau is all fabricated. Economic growth of 9.1% is not true, and inflation rates of 6.2% are not true either: They’re at least 16%. All the policies that the government is releasing are to “heal” the “sick” economy, but actually they’re no use whatsoever. China’s economic situation is treacherous!’ He added: ‘China is already headed for a recession. From early July, Chinese manufacturing PMI was the lowest in the world.’

“According to him, China is going to become the poorest country in the world. There are three serious mistakes in our policies, and one of them is the high taxes and dues. The direct taxes and indirect taxes paid by entrepreneurs last year took up 70% of Chinese PBT, and individual income tax took up 81.6% of average income tax. We have the highest tax in the history of man.

“‘Overcapacity in China has a long history, and has been alleviated by high worldwide debt,’ he said. ‘However, if Americans can no longer afford it due to the economic crisis, our overcapacity will become a nightmare. Our consumption capacity can only absorb 30%, which will lead to too many surplus products and force many businesses to go out of business. If the global financial system collapses, many countries will no longer be able to develop in an indebted way – hence, our surpluses will become a huge problem.’”

We have something to say to people who want to hear explanations. Let’s lay our cards on the table and realistically evaluate the situation. First, we are driven by nature and exist in its system. You can see for yourselves that despite all our vain attempts, we do not control the world. It is driven by a certain program that operates according to certain forces. In the end, we are under its control.

Second, by moving this way, we do not know where we will end up. So how do we decipher the program of our development? How do we control it? Maybe sweeten it a bit? For example, today European leaders are unable to sweeten the bitter pills prescribed to the eurozone. They are already inclined to consider this entire common market to be a mistake. However, what mistake can we talk about if it is part of the program? Whatever happened, happened, and nothing can be done about it. It’s foolish to regret the past.

Man is created in such a way that before he can actually join an operational force, he is unable to understand that instead of representing the function, he represents the outcome, the action. Thus, humanity is discovering its helplessness due to actual problems. But the real collapse has not yet begun. The crisis has multiple layers, and its main characteristic is neither non-recoverable debt nor unemployment.

In the near future (possibly one or two years from now, if the process accelerates), we will see that the world cannot continue to exist. Climatic disasters, economic and industrial problems will put us on the edge of a cliff. Nations will not be able to manage the huge numbers of unemployment. We simply do not have a system that is capable of withstanding something of the sort. And then disasters will force people to listen to us.

Third, we should ask ourselves why did evolution subject us to such powerful shocks? In our current conditions, different types of vegetative and animate levels of nature are simply becoming extinct like dinosaurs. So maybe we will also disappear off the face of the earth under the blade of this guillotine?

In this case, we do not have another solution but to find a third force that will work against nature, in other words, against the Creator. It doesn’t matter what we call it.

Hollywood movies depict global threats also in the form of an asteroid flying towards the Earth capable of destroying us in a matter of seconds. As a rule, film protagonists manage to save humanity.

We too need to turn to humanity with a request for protection. We must find the protective force to withstand nature, which is leading us to death. We are part of its program, and if “blind nature” has planned to finish us with a number of cataclysms, then how do we find an alternative power for further development? How can we change the program?

First of all, we need to rise to a new degree, acquire wisdom, and understand what the common program entails. This leads us to the fourth stage, when we finally must realize that our essence, the egoistic desire, is the source of all disasters. If not for the ego, we would not be destroying human society, family institution, the education system, relations between people, countries, and religions; we would not be creating artificial dividers that separate us and at the end only lead to mutual destruction.

Once we realize the evil, we will think about what we call good. And then we will learn from nature in which the integrated mechanism of unity and reciprocity operates. We are able to imagine this and observe with our own eyes. So what do we lack? Only the ability to rise above our essence.

Will we be able to change the course of our development if we rise above ourselves, or is nature still stronger than us? No, it is not stronger. Why not? It is because nature controls us through our egoism, but if we mutually support and strengthen one another, if we build a common system and want to unite no matter what, the forces of nature will develop us in the good way.

In fact, our egoism no longer wants to keep growing because growth only causes it more problems. We finally can acquire the opportunity to control it and moreover, use it to advance in the good way, but only if we learn to use it for unity. The essence of all evil is that we develop by hurting one another, while the essence of goodness is to develop by uniting with one another.

Driven by necessity, humanity has to completely change its attitude towards life, the environment, society, raising children, and education. We need to build everything around us in a way that will allow us to be surrounded by warmth, like children. We try to place children in an exemplary society so that they will learn to behave well, care for themselves and others, and so on. I would like to place my child in the best day care, let him learn reciprocity, languages, and let him be a good boy or girl.

Evolution itself has implanted the parental attitude in us, which enables us to understand how to treat others. It is no coincidence that we were divided into male and female genders, which together create posterity, the next degree. This enables us to see how to build a proper environment for ourselves. Our natural care for children and grandchildren pushes us towards the same thing. And this is why today we must create a universal day care for all. Anyone who wants to be a teacher is welcome.

Generally speaking, humanity’s only problem is upbringing. And to be more precise, the problem is to understand that this is the main problem. This is why we explain to the world that the power that needs to be awakened is already inside of us, it is in the unity between us.

Science confirms that when people gather and unite, they generate a new, special, integrated power that exists on its own. For example, this power unites a nation by maintaining a common approach, character, and potential in people. The uniting power that appears through years of mutual living and interaction does not come from Above, but exists between them according to the specific form of their unity.

Similarly, when we unite today, we will beget this new, integrated power of world unity, which will become our protection, more powerful than nature, climate, ecology, or anything else. After all, this power is much higher; it pertains to the human degree, and man towers over the other levels of nature. And for this reason, this power will definitely help us sweeten our development instead of trembling like rabbits that are being taken somewhere unknown. We will control the process in action.|

Baal HaSulam, “Mutual Guarantee” (abridged version): Once the whole nation agreed, they became guarantors…

What is the meaning of this nation-wide agreement? Did every person just shout out like a child, “I want!” Or do we have to understand where we are going and how far?

That is why this world was given to us, showing us all the clear examples of caring for the neighbor. I see how repulsive all of this is to me, yet I unite with others because I have to, not having any other solution in a time of peril or when I really need them.

Once the entire nation agreed, they became guarantors that no citizen will be deprived of what he needs.

Mutual guarantee by itself gives us energy. By the same principle, at the end of correction we increase the Light’s abundance by 620 times compared to what was there at the beginning of creation. Stated differently, instead of a very fine line that was filled only by the tiny Light of Hochma, we receive an entire circle in which the Light of Hochma pours, clothed in the Light of Hassadim, infinitely filling everyone to the depth and breadth of the mutual unification. When this happens, every person adds his part to others and becomes included in everyone himself.

So where does this miraculous addition come from? It comes from the fact that we involve the force of mutual guarantee, the force of mutual inclusion. By virtue of the breaking, the vessels were prepared to become included in one another, and now, in spite of our egoism, we must evoke this inclusion, this mutual guarantee, in practice. The resistance of our egoism and our ability to overcome by means of the Light that reforms, which leads to unity, create an inner pressure inside the vessel, a resistance, like in a resistor. The force of egoism inside of us constantly resists unity, while we stand above it and become tightly locked in all of the connecting points.

Eventually, the negative and positive forces that separate and connect us come together in one channel. That is how we attain a 620-fold increase of power.

Today we barely provide enough food for half of humanity. About a third of it has limited food, and another third is starving. But there is no doubt that by realizing the mutual guarantee, we will end up with the same abundance that the spies discovered when they were first sent to Israel and discovered a “land flowing with milk and honey.” It will suddenly become clear that there is no need for material investment because fulfillment is provided by the Light. Vitamins, minerals, calories, and everything else are vestments of the Light, which disappear to the extent we clear them away.

We always aspire to extract the maximum energy conversion efficiency from the energy resources. But here, what we have at our disposal is the Light, without any material vestment. That is an energy incomparably more powerful, which supports all of matter. Instead of fairy-tales about an eternal engine, we truly acquire an eternal energy resource.

Opinion: (Jim Rogers, CEO and chairman Rogers Holdings): “The world is definitely going to face another financial crisis stemming from problems in Europe.

“‘We’re certainly going to have more crises coming out of Europe and America; the world is in trouble. The world has been spending staggering amounts of money that it doesn’t have for a few decades now, and it’s all coming home to roost.’

“He added that the crisis would be much worse than the one markets saw in 2008 because the debt is much higher now.

“‘Last time, America quadrupled its debt. The system is much more extended now, and America cannot quadruple its debt again. Greece cannot double its debt again. The next time around is going to be much worse’…

“‘It would be better off if we can hold the euro together and we reorganize. People are bankrupt and when people are bankrupt you might as well face reality. Reorganize the assets, competent people (will) come in and you start over from a sound base'”…

My Comment: The world needs to reorganize not the assets, but thinking. It has to make it integral and use it to build a new integral society connected by integral economic relations. This is the future, whether we want it or not, and we will have to understand, accept, and build it.

Opinion: (Vladislav Belov, Head of The Institute of Europe, The Russian Academy of Sciences, from vedomosti.ee): “Grandiose events in Europe related to the crisis in the eurozone will begin in the nearest future. In my opinion, we will witness them right away, by the end of the year. Europe doesn’t have time any more. …Primarily, it will be about the attitude towards the euro and the eurozone.

“Let’s look at the root of the problem: Eurozone’s economy consists of 17 countries that vary not only in size, but also in labor productivity and economic competitiveness. In fact, this arrangement is destroying the union. For the North, it is important to export goods with a high surplus value, whereas the South is all about exporting food and agricultural produce, maintaining tourism, and keeping their real estate bubble afloat.”

My Comment: The only solution is to combine all European economies and create one economy that is not about surplus value, but rather about satisfaction of the basic needs of the European population and later of the whole world. Unless and until we start viewing ourselves as one family rather than competitors, we won’t endure the crisis and will move toward the next world war.

Opinion: (Paul Krugman, professor of Economics and International Affairs at Princeton University, the recipient of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Economics): “When David Cameron became Britain’s Prime Minister last year, he immediately embarked on a program of spending cuts in the belief that this would actually boost the economy — a decision that was greeted with fawning praise by many American pundits.

“Now, however, the results are in, and the picture isn’t pretty. Greece has been pushed by its austerity measures into an ever-deepening slump — and that slump, not lack of effort on the part of the Greek government, was the reason a classified report to European leaders concluded last week that the existing program there was unworkable. Britain’s economy has stalled under the impact of austerity, and confidence from both businesses and consumers has slumped, not soared.

“So bailing out the banks while punishing workers is not, in fact, a recipe for prosperity.

“If you’ve been reading accounts of the financial crisis, or watching film treatments like the excellent “Inside Job,” you know that Iceland was supposed to be the ultimate economic disaster story: its runaway bankers saddled the country with huge debts and seemed to leave the nation in a hopeless position.

“But a funny thing happened on the way to economic Armageddon: Iceland’s very desperation made conventional behavior impossible, freeing the nation to break the rules. Where everyone else bailed out the bankers and made the public pay the price, Iceland let the banks go bust and actually expanded its social safety net. Where everyone else was fixated on trying to placate international investors, Iceland imposed temporary controls on the movement of capital to give itself room to maneuver.

“So how’s it going? Iceland hasn’t avoided major economic damage or a significant drop in living standards. But it has managed to limit both the rise in unemployment and the suffering of the most vulnerable; the social safety net has survived intact, as has the basic decency of its society. ‘Things could have been a lot worse’ may not be the most stirring of slogans, but when everyone expected utter disaster, it amounts to a policy triumph.

“And there’s a lesson here for the rest of us: The suffering that so many of our citizens are facing is unnecessary. If this is a time of incredible pain and a much harsher society, that was a choice. It didn’t and doesn’t have to be this way.”
