In the News (from BBC News): “The IMF says it will take decisive action to tackle the eurozone debt crisis and support the global economy.

“However, the communique, issued during a meeting between G20 finance ministers, the IMF and the World Bank, did not give specifics on whether extra funds would be available to the global fund.

“‘Advanced economies will ensure that banks have strong capital positions and access to adequate funding,’ said the communique.”

My Comment: If financiers and economists understood that nature prepared the only option—the economy of reasonable consumption, they would only have to bring their economic and financial systems in compliance with this requirement of our evolution. However, since they do not know and do not wish to know that yet, their attempts to act using old methods will cost us a lot of unnecessary suffering.

In the News (From CNN Articles): “The Yale students had discovered that Pestalotiopsis microspora fungus can break down plastic. It’s a species of fungi that can be found in many regions of the world and can decompose polyurethane, a common plastic that is used to make things like insulation, synthetic fibers, plastic for electronics and sealants.

“Scott Strobel, the Yale biochemistry professor who instructed Anand and Russell during these experiments, says because of this discovery, the future looks promising for all types of plastic pollution. He says fungi’s potential to break down man-made materials could be endless, along with its possibilities in medicine and other fields of science.”

Question: You say that the masses have to sit and study, but do you take into account that the masses are not able to learn anything at all?

Answer: In Europe, as well as in the USA, the middle class will be eliminated in the near future. They are intelligent and educated people, still young, so they will become the most active builders of a new society of mutual guarantee.

They are able to grasp the true meaning of what is happening with the development of human society, its movement towards unity (globality and integrality), and the solution to all problems: our compliance with this law of social development.

Question: Today many superfluous products are targeted at women: fashion clothes, jewelry, cosmetics, diet food, and so on. Will women really give up all these things?

Answer: If we follow people’s true desires, everything will happen simply and smoothly. Today’s fashion is imposed upon us by those who make money from it. Actually, there is nothing truly beautiful and useful in fashion. We are talking about an artificial desire that is being imposed upon the public. Fashion is unnatural; it doesn’t stem from human nature.

Of course, a woman wants to be beautiful and to wear jewelry. It has been this way for ages, but without the madness that accompanies it today. Today new rules are constantly being dictated to us, forcing us to compete, which in the end only bring us closer to the collapse. We are being bought and sold; they are driving us crazy with all these different fashions. It has gone too far, and it isn’t by chance that the young generation doesn’t take it seriously any more, although the fashion and the cosmetics industries still make billions of dollars.

Let the Light work, and you will see how fashion becomes irrelevant, just like many other forms of egoism.

Question: When the Light changes me, will I naturally want to act for the benefit of others?

Answer: You will be different. You won’t have the slightest desire to make a profit at someone else’s expense.

Question: So how will I be able to take all the seven billion people in the world into account?

Answer: Don’t worry. The desire doesn’t come without the understanding and the ability to realize it. The desire stems from the system that is already instilled in you and gets revealed there. You are already incorporated in the system of the seven billion people both mentally and emotionally, and so you will be able to make reliable calculations for the common good. Just imagine what a vessel you are getting!

Until then, everything that you do will have destructive results. This is why the world leaders cannot find a new economic system. After all, they don’t possess an internal model of human society connected in a new way. This is why they don’t know what to do: to raise the interest rate or to lower it, to demand the repayment of debts or to write them off?

First we must only aspire to connect. By this we will enable the Light to set us in the right direction. Then the amount of useless activity in the world will gradually diminish, and we will begin to connect softly, advancing towards balanced consumption without wars and terror. We have to let the Light do its job. There is no other choice. We cannot do anything on our own.

In the meantime, however, we don’t want to let the Light in, we don’t oblige it to work, and as a result, our society assumes its present form.

Question: During the social protests in Israel, people experienced a sensation of togetherness for the first time. They understood what it means to be united. Now they lack this sensation. They don’t know what to do next. Some say that they want to become social activists and do volunteer work.

Answer: We need to rid them of all their illusions. Possibly, they will go and hand out presents in hospitals or distribute donations for the needy. We can’t stop them from doing this, but the most important thing is that they understand that correction comes from within. It’s not their external actions that need to change, but their inner state that must be altered. We discover the evil in the world not in order to correct it, but in order to transform ourselves. Then, the evil will disappear. The evil serves as an indicator of our inner change.

That’s a very different approach. It’s like switching your perception to a new level. You have to invert yourself from front to back. I always looked for ways to change the world, how to build more support systems and expand charity, how to create better aid systems, and how to improve our society. I wanted my kids to be able to walk at night without being attacked and help the elderly since I will be in that state one day. However, all of these things aren’t meant to correct our nature, but they serve to improve the picture of the external world, which I wanted to sweeten.

Now, we see an opposite situation. All those protests in numerous countries are totally useless, although we do understand why they are happening. The true reason for the protests is not what the oligarchs did, but that the external conditions of the world have changed. The world has become global, and that’s the essence of the crisis. Financial bubbles were created in the past as well; moreover, governments do this today because they don’t have any other solution. What else can they do? They are in a trap.

The real solution that they do not see yet is the inner change of a person. It is very difficult to discern this solution, and it’s even more difficult to believe that it’s realistic. It’s true that if we were better, if we stayed more connected and thought jointly, then, of course, we wouldn’t pollute the land and the air, and we would do everything right. That’s all true, but we are unable to do so. Nature is not pushing us hard enough yet, although according to recent data, we are finishing off the Earth. Yet, it doesn’t seem to be making an impression on us. We know that it’s still not happening today.

We use international organizations only for egoistic purposes. In general, if the United Nations makes a decision regarding any country, it is pretty easy to make this country comply. In this global world, you just close up their import and export “taps,” stop the financial flows, and here we go, the “patient” starts suffocating.

So why are we incapable of organizing the world properly? We have the ability, and we possess such forces. However, we haven’t suffered enough yet, and after each affliction, we go back to our old behavioral pattern.

Question: What changes do we have to implement at this point?

Answer: The most important task is to change man’s outlook on the world, his approach to it. In truth, we don’t need to do anything else. It is impossible to take any practical steps without this.

Indeed, people haven’t figured out what’s happening yet. They first must agree with the idea that we have to change internally in the direction of unity. It is enough to merely agree with it out of despair caused by the total extinction of the sources of fulfillment. People will reach a new understanding, will be imbued with a new feeling, and start to implement excellent ideas even before you think of them. As a result of the strong global connection, people will acquire wisdom.

Question: What does it mean “to agree to unite”?

Answer: People will agree internally that the world’s new and better future lies in the connection between everyone. This is already a different outlook on the world. I don’t object any more, I agree to learn about this, I become part of this plan, and I accept this message. I already understand that the crisis is caused by big egoism that has totally separated us and drawn us apart, while a single, whole system is being revealed to us.

This is what constitutes the agreement: Instead of following the price of the US dollar and interest rates, people will begin to change their way of thinking. “We will be better off if we unite more because this is the condition for success today, which Nature has posed to us.” A factory owner or a doctor at the clinic—no matter where a person is and what he or she does—will know that he can only succeed by way of unity, connection. A person will understand that it won’t help if he steals from someone, profits at someone’s expense, deceives someone, and so on. His entire attitude to life will change.

The present financial system is based on the principle of success at the expense of others. At first everything was fine: People saved money and invested it in industry. But then the speculative games started and prices soared. A fight starts over a glass that costs five dollars: One is ready to pay 20 dollars, and another 30, and we build an entire industry on these prices, as if it is based on real money. As a result, the dollar which was initially made of gold is now made of paper. We’ve lost control over the economy. It isn’t the economy anymore, but one big lie, and this is why it is being destroyed today.

We have to shift to a totally different system and most importantly, determine what we are doing this for. The global financial system has to help us balance the general system. We will operate not with inflated but real financial resources, which correspond to a real capacity of the world’s economy. Through this we will bring the world to balance. We will all discuss how to better invest the available means in order to reach maximum balance.

This is the new economic approach: to profit not from money in a bank account, but rather from strengthening the connection and balance betwen all the systems.

Baal HaSulam, “Peace in the World”: …the whole difficulty lies in changing our nature from a desire to receive for ourselves, to a desire to bestow upon others, since those two things deny one another. At first glance, the plan seems imaginary….

We aren’t really aware of this difficulty yet. Ask people on the street and they will tell you, “What’s so difficult about it? We know how to help others.” Some admit that egoism is inherent to human nature in some sense, but no more than that. None of us yet feel the need, the necessity to go from reception to bestowal.

However, eventually the crisis will show us that we simply have to do this since otherwise we won’t survive. We will even lose what we now have and will finish ourselves off. Out of having no other choice, we are nevertheless starting to analyze the situation: Do we or don’t we have a chance to unite into a common system as Nature demands of us? Maybe we are incapable of meeting this condition and are doomed to die?

After all, this is a possibility. Once upon a time the dinosaurs were unable to adapt to the new conditions, and now we too have found ourselves in a similar situation. Right before our very eyes many species of plants and animals are disappearing. So maybe the human species is also destined to disappear? Reasoning objectively, we inhabit a small planet at the outskirts of the galaxy and possibly, by nature’s plan we have to make way for another species with greater potential and importance that will suit the large-scale picture better.

Thus, we are beginning to figure out the situation: Our nature is egoistic, while nature is setting a condition of mutual bestowal for us and requiring us to unite into one single whole. This demand of the common system will be expressed more and more clearly. Jammed between the desired and the reality, we are experience great pressure upon us.

That’s when the science of Kabbalah comes to our rescue, as if coming down on us “from above.” If we did not have this method enabling us to evoke the force of correction and ascend to a new level, then we really would die out like the dinosaurs because we would not have the slightest idea of what is happening and what nature’s program really is like.

Its condition does not seem realistic at first. We cannot unite. Then what should we do? The only course of action left is to wage wars and conflicts. When man has no choice, he is capable of anything. His only wish is to put an end to the doubts. We cannot tolerate uncertainty. It’s better to start a war or even die. Then we are at least moving somewhere, and that’s the most important thing. Since we made this decision, then it doesn’t even matter whether we will survive or not—the process has begun. This is much easier than wandering aimlessly in a fog. Uncertainty tears us apart and we cannot bear that.

That is why in our time the science of Kabbalah is being revealed to the world. It is being revealed “artificially,” from above, through a lineage of Kabbalists, by means of a certain parallel program. On the path of the natural development, we would not have been able to discover it and carry out the correction. After all, in the current situation, the transition from reception to bestowal really does appear unrealistic.

In the News (from Ynetnews): “The Arab world shows a rare appreciation of Israel’s readiness to pay such a price for one soldier.

“The Syrian publicist Chalas Galbi wrote in the Syrian paper El Ailaf: ‘In our country the government shoots you, in Israel they do everything they can to bring back rotten bones. Perhaps it is us who have a problem? Concerning the issue of the soldier, the soul, Shalit, all the politicians and the military officials in our enemy state were involved and made efforts to free him.’

“Galbi contrasts this with the brutal repression of the uprising in Syria… ‘Who is the enemy and who is a friend? Can we understand that the problem is internal and that the Israeli issue is minor? Can we understand that we conquer each other more cruelly than Israel does?’ He adds: ‘In every prisoner exchange we cheer that we’ve smashed Israel and that it is the “mother of all battles,” the exchange of the decade. We are a nation that loves to laugh, aren’t we? October 11 (the day the exchange was announced) should be accepted with condolences, crying and mourning because of the state of the Arab nation.’

“The Kuwaiti reporter Akabal El-Achmed dared to express an unconventional opinion in the local newspaper El-Kabas: ‘Shalit, you are lucky to have such a homeland… I wish we could all be like you Shalit… May Allah bless you in your homeland, Shalit… Do you know why I envy Shalit… why I wished to be in his place and why I blessed him for his homeland? It is because of the human value and its meaning in his homeland… In our Arab world the government is the one who kills, who arrests, and who makes its citizens, both men and women, disappear from under the sun…’

“‘I pray day and night that I could be like Shalit in my country… that the media would be interested in me… that I would be like Shalit and there would be different kinds of pressures so that I would return to my family if I were missing because I did something for my country. Good for you, Shalit, that you are a citizen in your homeland, good for you that you are important and valuable. Good for you that the whole world and not only your homeland are following your whereabouts since the first day you were kidnapped… Shalit, your are lucky to have such a homeland.'”
