Question: As a Kabbalist, how does the current situation in the world seem to you? You constantly talk about big changes that await us. What are these changes?

Answer: The world is truly in a very unique situation; it is clear that a revolution is approaching. Understandably, this has no connection to Trump, he is just like a puppet on a string chosen for this role. The system is going to get a powerful and very important “upgrade.” In principle, it is possible to say that the world is in a process of a transition toward new values. It is happening gradually, people do not understand it yet. From the power of money, which is the main pillar of capitalism, the world is moving toward more “spiritual” values. This is also linked to the ideological influence that is affecting the spread of Islam in the world. The Muslims are not fighting for money but for their ideology.

I hope that we will see great changes in the world and this entire process will bury the liberalism that is so fashionable in the world today. After all, it has no real basis or possibility of being sustained; its existence is completely artificial. It has brought us to a situation in which people can no longer tolerate it. On the one hand, some of them have immense, unjustifiable wealth that has not been achieved through real labor but through stock market scams. And on the other hand, there are people who don’t have anything with which to live.

Understandably, it is impossible to restore industrial production in America. All of the developed countries have transferred manufacturing to China and other places where labor is cheap. It has already become impossible to bring it back, and there is no need for that. American workers cannot be paid the same salary that the workers in China receive. Therefore, it is simply necessary to switch to a new, spiritual, human industry. We don’t need to manufacture things, but people! After all, there is no shortage of food or clothing. There is enough to supply everything that is necessary to every person in the world. There is a surplus of consumer goods in the world so there is no problem in providing them to everyone. Also, these products cost almost nothing.

We must realize that the only thing the world needs to succeed is a higher power, the strength of connection, which will make us similar in nature. Therefore, those people who, through their union, will be able to help humanity become like nature, will be most in demand. This will be the new future of the profession, where people have to learn.

It takes years to learn this, and it should be done by all—millions and billions of people around the world. For those who can train people to unite, it’s a new job. It should involve all the media, because it is a whole system.

People will study, and this training and study will be considered work—spiritual labor, the work of the Creator, for which we get everything we need. About 90% of the world’s population will not find work in producing. The remaining 10% of the mechanical work will need to be distributed around the world somehow.

Trump is embodying this change if he will be allowed to carry it out. But it is already a distinctive indicator since he wants to take the power away from the banking and financial system and return it to industry. But industry will not be as he believes, that it will again begin to produce cars in America and resume heavy and light industry. That will not succeed. Rather, a new industry will be born: the production of humanity.

This will be the new trend in the world. Likewise, this is a trend that has been determined by the situation that is being created in Europe; the European Union will collapse. Everyone is crying that Europe is betraying the integral connection, but the European Union has never been a union, and certainly not integral. It was an alliance of banks to take as much money as possible and control everyone.

So if this union falls apart, it will only be for the better. We don’t need to associate this breakup with the crumbling of Europe. There was no union in Europe; therefore, there is nothing to be sorry about. After the EU falls apart, and there is no doubt that it will, it will be possible to talk about true union. After all, it is clear that the urgent need for union is ripening. At some point it will be possible to talk about union and connection in Europe in another form. But that will require integral education.

Question: Why does extremism attract people from different races and religions so much?

Answer: Today, just to be “against” gives a person the feeling that he is changing the world. The world demands change, revolution in the way of thinking and life from egoistic to general equality and unity.

Meanwhile people cannot imagine such a thing, although unconsciously they understand that they cannot agree with what is happening. But they don’t understand how to change the world and what exactly to do for this. Actually man cannot imagine the next step in the development of the world because it is completely opposite to the current state.

Therefore, the next state doesn’t appear to us instinctively as any action that has consistently appeared in the states in the development process of human society, for example, revolutions. It is a state that is given to special people to disclose: Adam, Abraham, and their followers. This knowledge cannot appear in any form in people as a result of their natural egoistic development, as the stages of development were born until now.

Now the next stage of the development of humanity is altruistic, opposite to all the previous ones. Therefore, the next state of development of humanity can be revealed to humanity only with the help of a ready example of a group of people called the “nation of Israel” that originally possess special qualities that enable them to attain this new state and later to transmit it to all mankind.

In the News (The Washington Post): “The research, published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, focuses on the devastating condition known as myalgic encephalomyelitis, more popularly known as chronic fatigue syndrome. CFS is one of the biggest mysteries of modern medicine and is characterized by severe fatigue and related issues such as headaches and memory problems. According to conservative estimates, 2.5 million people in the United States suffer from it, but no cause has ever been pinpointed. …

“They found that 80 percent of the metabolites were lower in those with CFS. They also found what they described as ‘abnormalities’ in 20 of the metabolic pathways.

“All this suggests that the metabolism of people with CFS is markedly slowed down. …

“When faced with adversity, cells go into defensive mode, he explained. ‘In most cases, this strategy is effective and normal metabolism is restored after a few days or weeks of illness, and recovery is complete after a few weeks or months.’ But with CFS, it’s possible the body got ‘stuck’ in that state.

“He said that although he does not believe that CFS is actually hibernation and although humans do not, in fact, hibernate, he said the ‘metabolic signature’ is similar to that of animals in hibernation.”

My Comment: We pay a price for disregarding the laws of nature, the goal of which is to bring unity between us and a restructuring of human society. Only in this way will we achieve tranquility, balance, and relaxation.

In the news (Fox News): “A Swedish prosecutor may have set a dangerous precedent last week in regards to the Islamic State flag.

“Prosecutor Gisela Sjovall announced last week that a 23-year-old man wouldn’t be charged after posting the flag to his Facebook page in June, according to The Local. Authorities in Laholm had investigated the man, who came to Sweden from Syria, on suspicion of committing ‘hate speech.’

“In comparison to the Nazi symbol which has come to be a symbol for prejudice against Jewish people, the same couldn’t be said for the Islamic State flag, Sjovall added.”

Question: Why is this happening even though this decision is incompatible with common sense?

Answer: This trend is completely compatible with the program of creation according to which the Muslims have to conquer Europe, subjugate it, paint it green with the color of Islam, and then together with the Europeans conquer Jerusalem.

Question: Does the Swedish prosecutor who made this decision understand this?

Answer: Definitely not, but that is what is “recorded” in the program of creation and it implements this. The Upper Light operates and influences a person and the person supposedly makes decisions and thereby expresses the view of the Upper Light. We are all in a matrix of thoughts and desires and act accordingly. There is no reason to complain about the Swedish prosecutor who is like a biological machine expressing the general current of all the forces that are operating in our world.

Question: Does this confirm once again that Islam is an extremist entity?

Answer: If Islam were not extremist in nature, they would not be coming to conquer Europe. We are indeed seeing that the Muslims have a very precise intention, coming and taking. They have many different justifications. They claim that the Europeans enslaved and oppressed them for five or ten generations. So now they can take everything for themselves. From their point of view, everything is theirs. Understandably, all Islamic currents will be extremist in nature because only Islam can oppose everyone and enslave them. Nobody believed that a revolution like this would happen, that they would arrive in Europe to conquer it, and the conquest is already close.

This entire process is happening solely and only to obligate the people of Israel to unite and in that way provide an example to the world. If the Jews will want to unite voluntarily and show the world how to do this, the world will immediately accept this example and follow it because through this unity they will draw spiritual power. Therefore, everything depends only on the Jews. It is impossible for this to change. The only question is how we will be compelled to do this, through a little suffering or much suffering.

Question: How does the Trump victory in the US elections contribute to the overall process of correcting the world and moving toward the goal of creation?

Answer: There are millions of people behind Trump, the whole “small town” America. These are the white Europeans, who once founded America and have started to lose it recently because of the flow of Muslim immigrants.

Problems with the African-American population are internal problems of the US and they must be resolved somehow. By the way, none of the Obama programs, including Obamacare, helped. The black population is living worse today than it did eight years ago when Obama became president. He was unable to do anything good even for his black brothers and sisters. He did well only for one group: radical Islamists, by opening the doors for them to enter the United States. His mind was preoccupied with this.

Question: Don’t the Trump plans against immigrants look fascist?

Answer: I don’t think that Trump will act thoughtlessly. He gives the impression of being an intelligent man. And besides, he is not alone; there are very strong, skilled assistants around him, both military and economists, with extensive experience.

Whether or not the world wishes to unite doesn’t matter, because it must progress toward unity in order to become a single society not separated by nationalities, religions and beliefs. Of course, there will remain black and white, red-skinned and yellow-skinned. Everyone can be themselves and mingle with others. Also, if someone wants to be gay, it is their choice.

At the same time, everyone should know that we belong to a single system called Adam, one family, where all depend on each other. The law of nature pushes us to this goal.

This goal is quite close, as indicated by the crisis that we are experiencing today. In all the areas in which humanity was engaged for thousands of years, we have come to a standstill: in science, family, raising children, human relations, international trade, and peoples’ attitudes to life.

We are gradually losing these values because, today, without positive social connections, it is impossible to control the human system. Humanity is increasingly closing into a single system, but people neither feel nor understand it. However, we must come to this if we want to develop in a positive direction.

Question: How does Trump’s victory contribute to this process?

Answer: Trump wants to eliminate the divide, disconnection, and separation of human society, at least in America. He says, “We are one nation” because he understands that nothing will work without it. Though he is white and of German origin, it is important to him that the American nation unites. On the contrary, left-wing Democrats, despite the nice talk, just split the nation.

Question: I thought that it is Trump who leads to the division of the society by hanging negative labels on entire groups of the population, for example, on the Mexicans. Isn’t this image directly opposite to this single, harmonious society about which you are talking?

Answer: This is how it looks from a narrow point of view. But, in fact, Trump declares very simple things, “Everyone should go back to his place, get out of someone else’s apartment and observe the order. First, we need to understand where we stand by returning America to its original state.

“We’ve made a few wrong steps and entered the global crisis: dramatically increased government debt, took our manufacturing abroad. Local people have lost their jobs because factories were closed. People can’t support their families. Look at what we’ve done! What for?”

It is wrong to give power to the government, the wealthy elite and banks. Trump goes against the establishment, which has the power and the money. He is a socialist.

Left-wing Democrats are not socialists. They are closer to the Nazis because they hate everybody but themselves, in their egoism. Therefore, I hope that Trump will be beneficial because he stands for a single nation against the domination of the establishment and banks. He wants to reduce the enormous government debt and give work to ordinary Americans. If he will stand firmly on these positions, he must succeed. I see that he understands where the problem is.

Question: Are you against left-wing Democrats?

Answer: I am not against the left-wing or right-wing; I am for the program of creation. Therefore, it doesn’t matter to me who will be a president; the main thing is that the program of creation will move us forward with as little blood and suffering as possible.

I just want us to be good! We still have to move forward; after all, we can’t go against the laws of nature. So let’s implement them consciously, with understanding, and then all of us will be well, all of us together.

New Life 785 – From Political Correctness To True Equality
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

Why is political correctness contrary to human nature? What is the right way of coping with conflicts and how can we reach true social equality despite the differences between people?

Today it is impossible to speak openly about different social problems.

Main points:

• Social problems stem from the fact that we don’t have the positive force to balance human egoism. The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us how we can draw the positive force we need.
• If we only conceal our evil attitude without correcting it, it will eventually erupt in different forms like Fascism, Nazism, etc,…
• The European countries, for example, don’t know how to cope with the refugees, and they are actually burying themselves. Radical Islam is taking advantage of the culture of political correctness and is aiming to crush Europe.
• People are different from each other but a person wants everyone to be like him, to act like him. Everyone also aspires to be the “king of the jungle” because the aspiration to dominate others is part of human nature.
• Our only hope is to study the method of connection above all our differences. It may sound impossible, but there is a balancing positive force in nature we can draw into our life by learning the method of connection according to the wisdom of Kabbalah.

In the News (of two minds.com): “Correspondent Bart D. (Australia) captured the entire global economy in three words: The Landfill Economy. Stuff is manufactured, energy is consumed shipping it somewhere, consumers buy it and shortly thereafter it ends up as garbage in the landfill.

“This is of course the definition of ‘economic growth’: waste, inefficiency, environmental destruction—none of these matter. Only two things matter: maximize ‘growth’ by any means necessary, and maximize profits by any means necessary.

“The Landfill Economy now encompasses the entire planet. The swirling gyre of plastic trash the size of Texas between Hawaii and California: it’s just one modest example of the planetary trash dump that ‘growth’ and profit generate as byproducts/blowback.

“The planet’s oceans are one giant trash dump. Everything from plastic water bottles to abandoned fishing nets to radiation to containers that fell off ships is floating around even the most distant corners of the seas. Seabirds nesting in remote islands die of starvation as their guts fill with plastic bits of ‘permanent growth.’ …

“The Keynesian Cargo Cults that rule global economics love The Landfill Economy because it means more ‘growth.’ Never mind the poisoned seas, rivers and land, or the immense waste of energy, commodities and labor that result from the global manufacture and distribution of shoddy products: if it adds to ‘growth,’ it’s all good in the warped view of the Keynesian Cargo Cults.”

My Comment: The only solution to all the problems that lead humanity to annihilation is changing human nature, which should take place according to nature’s plan. A crisis is the birth of our future state, which we can attain not by changing the world around us, but by changing ourselves, by changing our nature from an egoistic one to an altruistic one.

New Life 784 – The Truth Behind Political Correctness
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

Why do people feel the need to be politically correct? When is it right to hide social injustice and what will lead to true egalitarianism in society?

There is no truth in the relations between us. We hide what we really think.

Main points:

• The ego grows from one generation to the next. In the past there was a clear division between social classes, whereas today everyone wants to be respected.
• In the 20^th century everyone has an opportunity to study and to develop.
• We are not equal by nature. We have different characters, different genes, and different attributes, but subconsciously we all aspire for equality.
• Equality means that everyone contributes as much as he can to others and not that everyone does whatever he feels like. We are supposed to develop to a state of mutual complementation, which will connect all of us.
• Mutual complementation is possible only if we act according to the rule of “love will cover all our transgressions.”
• The recognition of evil without knowing the remedy for correcting it is destructive.
• We are living in an evil culture where everyone hates everyone else and everyone needs a lawyer by his side.
• We have a method for correcting evil and it is based on teaching all of society how to connect to each other.
• By being politically correct we prefer to keep quiet and not to say the truth, which leads to a breach in our relations. By teaching people to connect, we develop the ties between us.
• In the future, political correctness will disappear and the teaching of how to connect between people, how to love above the hatred, will emerge.

In the News (El Pais): “For decades the EU was concentrated on itself, while the United States have drawn away from Europe to pay increasing attention to Asia. But now, unexpectedly, we face serious challenges, which are similar here and there and do not come from outside but from within our own countries. And by sharing our familiar demons, again we become aware that we function as a true community destination. …

“First, faith falters on economic progress, believed indefinite, and goes installing the impression, shared by broad layers of the population, that new generations will live worse than the preceding. And secondly, the fear is heightened to a loss of identity linked to cultural changes brought about by immigration.”

My Comment: Optimism is the result of new prospects for the development of society. But to see it, people must open their eyes and understand how society develops as the egoistic force in nature develops and requires the revelation of the altruistic force. The wisdom of Kabbalah reveals this process to us. Today we have come to the point in which the revelation of the second force of nature is vital, the second force that is meant to balance the negative egoistic force.

Question: How could the predictions about the outcome of the presidential elections in the US be so wrong?

Answer: The fact is that never before was there a situation when society underwent such radical changes. This is a real crisis because Obama and Clinton prepared an upheaval toward fundamentalism. They wanted to make the US their fiefdom and become dictators in it.

Obama had full power over everyone. Quietly and without a fuss, he wanted to turn the US into a Muslim country. And when this condirion had become almost irreversible, the coup occurred during the elections. It is not surprising that it wasn’t foreseen by any forecast bureau, because in their blindness, they see only what suits and is familiar to them. The world must advance toward the general correction. They were let down by ignorance of the internal program that humanity is going through.

Question: Obama supporters say the opposite, that he was heading toward pluralism and democracy, opening doors to immigrants. Why do you think that he was moving in the direction of radical Islam?

Answer: If we don’t move toward the common unity by conducting the necessary training and building the right foundation, then entry of foreigners should not be allowed. If I am not ready to live with you in the same apartment, we shouldn’t move in together, otherwise we’ll become the worst enemies.

Until that happens, we’re friends. And when you move into my apartment, after a while we begin to hate each other. So why would we move in together and turn from friends into enemies?

Therefore, preliminary training and education are necessary, and Europe is also lacking it. If we don’t do it and open up the country for mass immigration, we doom it for big problems, coups, and violence. It will be scary to go outside because the streets will be filled with people that hate each other by nature. And if they are not educated properly they will destroy each other. This isn’t the path of correction.

Question: It isn’t clear how Trump can be closer to the correction with his racist statements regarding Mexicans and threats to deport immigrants?

Answer: Imagine that you suddenly declare that you are going to live with me and demand half of my house. I, as a sensible person who understands your and my natures and knows that I can’t stand strangers in the house, ask you not to do it. Now we are friends and visit each other, observing a safe distance and keeping peace.

Peace is possible in two cases: either we keep at a distance from each other or we receive an education that allows us to get close and even connect, thus becoming friends that internally feel their dependence on each other and need for each other. I feel that I need you to live because by connecting with you I can reach the higher goal. So I should get closer to you.

This interest should be given to a person, but it wasn’t done in America. They allowed a few million Muslim immigrants to enter, who have already begun to cause problems across the country. And meanwhile ,the flow of immigrants continues and a real explosion is brewing.
