In the News (Lenta.ru): “United Space of Distrust – Why European intelligence agencies can not fight together against terrorism”

“A series of recent terrorist attacks in France and Germany actualized discussion on countering extremism. The issue was raised again about the coordination of special services of the member states. Too often, it turned out that a criminal who committed the attack in one country performed this in sight of the security forces of a neighboring state, but they do not share information with colleagues. …

“There is a paradoxical situation: the extremists in Europe have more freedom of action than those who must confront them. As after the arrest of Abdeslama, the terrorists changed their plans – instead of the business district of Paris La Défense an attack in Brussels – they were outside the jurisdiction of the French secret service, so they lost interest.

“After each new terrorist attack, from the high tribunes sound the ritual appeals to rally more closely and actively share information. … But the words remain words. …

“The EU has succeeded in many ways: a common economic space, open borders, uniform standards of education. But the general security policy – is still a pipe dream. …

“The reason for this, according to the director of the Center for Comprehensive European and International Studies, Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs School of Economics Timofey Bordachev, lies in the very concept of the state and the representation of its functions. ‘The most important duty of a sovereign state is to ensure the security of citizens’ – said the expert. …

“ European intelligence agencies still treat each other with suspicion, remembering the old adage – ‘intelligence has no friends, only competitors.’”

Attitude: I believe that in the near future we will witness the breakup of the European Union because without educating the citizens of these nations with a spirit of unity, living as a single family, they feel like they are strangers to their neighbors.

The restrictions imposed on the nations of the Union will become prohibitive to implement. The benefits of the Union will disappear and be covered with a lack of desire to concede until they “divorce.”

But happiness can be achieved—just as in a family, it is necessary to know how to reach it, to appreciate, preserve, and develop it!

Question: The European civilization has always been a model of high ideals, freethinking, equality, the scientific approach, and faith in the wisdom and power of man, the master of the world. So why do we see today that this ideology has become harmful for us?

Answer: Everything in this world goes through birth, development, a period of prosperity, and then decline and death. The European materialistic approach, claiming that everything was in the hands of man, was very helpful and rational. Indeed, in this case we don’t need some mystical forces and rely only on things we see in front of us.

This European approach has contributed a lot to the development of man and his approach to life, in comparison to the philosophies in other parts of the world: India and Arabic countries, where the focus wasn’t on man, his education, and development.

Education brought its values to Europe, such as ethics, equal rights for men and women, freedom of speech, and equality. However, today, I don’t admire them as much as previously in the distant past.

After all, we know how strong the religious influence in Europe is even now, with all its slogans about freewill and equality. Inside each European lives this inner split that with all his aspirations to freedom he stays religious inside.

If you come to France, home of the French Revolution that is a symbol of all European ideals, and go to the periphery, to small towns and villages, you will see that they live there the same as it was in the Middle Ages, and the approach to life is the same and the church is the same.

The spirit that the Europeans received from the Jews influenced them in two ways. On the one hand, it brought ideals of freedom of speech and religion, education, and equality to Europe, and on the other hand, it gave Europe a strong Christian religion with all its medieval doctrines and restrictions that are alive in the people till today.

These two forces emanating from one source act in the Europeans and can’t come to an agreement. This is what determines the European spirit.

Question: Why did these wonderful ideas of education and equality bring Europe to the catastrophic situation that we see today?

Answer: The fact is that these were just nice slogans, and in reality a person hasn’t changed internally at all. He remained the same person he was from ancient times. If we dig into him a little deeper, we will see the same barbarian he used to be.

People don’t understand how to use the freedom they received. It was necessary to develop a person for this, so he would know what equality is, what forces are required in order to reach it, and how to resist his egoistic nature.

It was a scientific and technological revolution, but one can remain a barbarian and have an atomic bomb. True development involves the development of a person inside the savage, and this didn’t happen in Europe. People don’t change from nice talk alone. In order to change a person internally, an upper force is required, in addition to the inherent egoistic force that exists within us.

Since this wasn’t the case, the Europeans remained the same, as they were before. They only played in the beautiful philosophies, literature, and culture in order to embellish their life, and nothing more. However, if we go a little deeper, we will see that people remained the same as they were 2,000 years ago.

New Life 447 – Natural Disasters: The Result Of Our Imbalance With Nature
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

If we aspired to being harmoniously balanced with nature, we would receive positive feedback from nature, but first we have to balance the relations between us…

The spiritual knowledge lost by the people of Israel after destruction of the Temple gave a special impetus to the development of the European civilization. It gave Europeans an exceptional strength of spirit, the desire to conquer, explore new lands, and to develop.

Pilgrims travelled the roads and spread the Christian religion everywhere and taught people to pray. It brought science, knowledge, and faith to the residents of Europe that were complete barbarians at that time. This religion supports people until today.

Ancient Greeks received all their wisdom from the Jews. Initially, there were quite primitive beliefs in many gods in ancient Greece. The legends of ancient Greece are so naive that can attract only young children. Science and conception of the human soul that, allegedly, develops from a deep breathing, were also primitive.

Ancient Greece rose due to borrowing ideas from the wisdom of Kabbalah that was alive in the people of Israel. Although the Greeks learned from it only external ideas in a distorted form, that is exactly what developed European civilization and gave Europe the form it is in today.

Thanks to this influence, Europe received a special spirit that it was striving to pass to the whole world. Therefore, Europeans went to discover new lands and continents, but their main motive was religious and missionary.

From religion science developed, alchemy and geography that were necessary in order to prove to everyone that the Christian religion was the truest  that conquers the world. It was very important for the Europeans. The colonial wars and conquests initially had exclusively religious purposes. It was only later that they realized that they could receive economic benefit from them.

Closer to our time, ships began to bring goods from China and India to England and a need for the Suez Canal arose.

There was a transition from the Christian religion to science. Europe shifted the focus from God to man, the human spirit, and the human values. It is possible to say that this change began with the French Revolution that was followed by revolutions in other countries. Science began to develop rapidly in addition to religion.

There was no other continent where so many different nations lived in close proximity and had a common religion and philosophy received from Rome and Greece. Besides, the people of Israel, who came out into exile, were living among the European nations. They moved from one country to another and were contacting other nations, passing to them the spirit that lived inside them. Therefore, Europe has developed as no other country.

It is possible to say that the place where the people of Israel came from began to flourish. And as soon as they were expelled from there, these countries fell immediately. It means that we can see two ways of development in Europe. The first one is the development of the Christian religion, and the second is the development of the Jewish spirit. These two directions, influencing each other, have built the European civilization.

In the News (UPI): “Burqinis, the full-body swimwear designed for Muslim women, are now banned from the beaches of Cannes, France, the mayor said.

“Mayor David Lisnard, citing the July 14 truck attack on the beach promenade in nearby Nice, in which more than 80 people died, called the clothing a ‘symbol of Islamic extremism’ which could renew controversy and initiate possible violence. He added the ban on the head-to-ankle beachwear is meant to ‘protect the population’ by reducing attention paid to Muslims in distinctive clothing. …

“‘Beachwear manifesting religious affiliation in an ostentatious way, while France and its religious sites are currently the target of terrorist attacks, could create the risk of disturbances to public order,’ the law notes. …

“The law faces challenges from human rights activists, and opposition from France’s Muslim Federation of the South, which called it an ‘abusive’ use of power aimed at exclusion.

My Comment: That’s the problem. I don’t think that a prohibition is the right thing. If a woman can go to the beach and bathe without exposing herself, she should be allowed to do so.

The fear that she may carry knives and axes under her clothes is a different matter. It still alarms people and keeps them away from one another, but there is nothing they can do about it. It is actually the extremists who encourage this attitude that are to blame and not the French people. Still I don’t think the prohibition is right.

Comment: There are more and more such misunderstandings in France and Germany.

Answer: They should have thought about when they let Muslims in and saw that they don’t want to integrate in their society. They should have thought about why they should let them in and created a fifth column in the French society! It isn’t even a column because they don’t become a fifth column but a major army that opposes the country and hates it. There is nothing they can do about it now. They have to introduce compulsory integral education for every Frenchman.

Comment: They have integration projects that include courses and explanations.

Answer: The immigrants are not interested in integration. They don’t want to hear anything. They want to turn France into a radical Islamic state.

Question: What would you advise the French authorities?

Answer: They have no choice but to accept Islam. They will give in more and more until they explode and there will be wars and unpleasant incidents, etc. And as usual, they will blame Israel for that in their typical anti-Semitic manner.

Question: Do you see a more optimistic scenario?

Answer: I don’t see any optimistic scenario and I spoke about it twenty years ago. I can say one thing about the future: the future of the world will simply be bad without the integral education!

Question: Will this process stop if the integral education is implemented now?

Answer: Yes. Today it is still possible, but it will still be accompanied by riots and a huge wave of protest.

Question: Europe is going through difficult times: an economic crisis, refugees problem, the spread of Islam, and resurgence of fascism and Nazism; all these problems are snowballing very rapidly.

Yet Europe made a great contribution to the development of humanity, probably greater than all other continents. What is the reason that such a high civilization developed in Europe?

Answer: Ancient civilization emerged in the Middle East, in ancient Babylon, Persia. But then it all moved to Europe, to ancient Greece and Rome, which built European civilization.

From Greece to Europe came science and philosophy that Greek scientists received from the Jews during the period from the First Temple until the destruction of the Second Temple, a thousand years before our era. European scientists and philosophers write about it themselves.

The Romans gave the social system that developed Europe. After all, when the Roman Empire was at the height of its prosperity and power, Europe was totally barbaric. If the Romans didn’t conquer Europe, crossing it all up to the northern borders and down, it’s hard to say what would have happened to the European civilization.

The Romans gave Europe a state system; they laid and paved the roads. The Talmud writes that when Judea fell, the Roman Empire took over its power and wisdom and rose upon them. Eventually everything came out of Israel, from the destruction experienced by the Jewish people. The spiritual knowledge of the people of Israel, their spiritual attainment and strength, were exhausted, and only pitiful crumbs were left from them.

The people of Israel didn’t know how to use them because they were not created to build something in this material world, but only for the spiritual work. The Romans adopted this knowledge and used it to build the material life in European countries.

The campaigns of Alexander the Great really contributed to it who stated that he sought to convey this modern, scientific, developed public method of existence to the entire world. This was the purpose of his conquests.

In addition, Christianity was a great help in spreading the Roman influence over Europe. It was adopted from the Jews and grew on the basis of those remains that were left after destruction of the Second Temple. The first Christians were Jews that turned Christianity into a new religion, after the destruction of the Second Temple.

Christianity obliged its followers to develop this religion, to spread it further and to add new souls to it. This is what inspired ancient Rome to conquer Europe, bringing science, philosophy, and religion there.

Prior to it, barbarians that worshiped spirits inhabited Europe. Christianity gave them a system and books. Art began to develop since people were illiterate and drawings were required in order to explain this idea to them.

Religions and philosophies blossomed on the ruins of the Jewish Temple due to the impossibility of continuing the spiritual idea that fell and shattered. The entire European civilization grew from the few crumbs that were left from the hidden wisdom that the Jews had.

Question: During the last 40 years, the number of people that are suffering from obesity grew six-fold: from 105 million to 640 million! It is said that toward the year 2025 one in five will suffer from obesity. Some claim that it comes from lack of money for healthy food and others claim that it is from excess of money, people eat more. Is it possible to explain this phenomenon?

Answer: It depends on our way of life. Today few are working in a physical labor. In addition, our nutrition obviously influences our body weight, and fat is added to food to heighten its taste.

I don’t think that a special revolution will occur in the future, but the change will occur when society gradually recognizes the purpose of creation and its main interest will be in achieving the meaning of life, entering the next level of existence, breaking the link between life and death, and between life and death finding the exit point to the next dimension. When people will understand that this possibility exists, it will also lead to a change in their attitudes to nutrition and lifestyle. Humanity will loose the taste for certain types of food.

If people will seriously deal with the system in order to achieve the upper state and exit to the next world, then they will become more balanced in their corporeal lives. As a result, all the distorted, ugly, and one-sided attitudes toward food and toward all the rest will disappear. I think that restaurants and even coffee shops will continue to exist in the same form now. They will no longer be places for entertainment.

Naturally, the custom of serving mutual treats to each other will remain, but it will be just plain food.

In the News (The Wall Street Journal): “Thirty-four percent of all adults say Mr. Obama, the nation’s first African American president, has made progress toward improving race relations, while another 28% says he has tried but failed to make progress, a Pew Research poll released Monday found. A quarter of Americans say he has made race relations worse.

“Among blacks, 51% say Mr. Obama has made progress, a sentiment shared by just 28% of whites. On the other end, 5% of blacks and 32% of whites believe Mr. Obama has made race relations worse.

“Shortly after Mr. Obama was elected in 2008, a Pew survey found that more than half of voters thought the election would lead to better race relations, including 49% of whites and 75% of blacks.

“The new poll shows blacks and whites also differ in their opinions on race-related issues, the status of racial equality and the way black people are treated in the U.S.

“Blacks are more likely than whites to say black people are treated less fairly in the workplace (64% to 22%), when applying for a loan or mortgage (66% to 25%), in the courts (75% to 43%), in stores or restaurants (49% to 21%), when voting in elections (43% to 20%), and in dealing with police (84% to 50%).

“By large margins, blacks are also more likely than whites to say race relations are bad rather than good, and that too little attention is paid to racial issues in the country.”

Answer: This perfectly makes sense! For some reason we don’t want to find out what the root of the problem is. We have to examine the problem not only according to a person’s skin color, but according to who he is, what his religion and philosophy of life are. The African-Americans are also fighting among themselves, although they are all black. Their wars are of a religious nature, of Christians against Muslims.

Question: Does this mean that you don’t support the assumption that this is the original American sin?

Answer: It is an unquestionable fact that the Americans have decided to eradicate the differences between blacks and whites and that this was the desire of the majority.

They implemented different education programs in kindergartens, schools, on TV etc. and were very successful in this respect. I don’t think that any other country in the world would take such serious measures for the sake of equal rights between blacks and whites, but what was the outcome?

The Americans, like children, don’t understand whom they are voting for. They did not elect a black president but a Muslim president! As far as he is concerned the most important thing is to fill America with Muslim ideology and with Muslims, which he tried to do throughout his presidency.

First he led to the flow of Muslims to Europe, to which they fled from the border of Sinai to France. What distance they covered and where to? Most of them are not Christians but Muslims and in addition they have been trained, are prepared, and are well equipped.

Obama did the same in the US. Any Muslim could reach the US and not be detained at the border. They were allowed to pass with a passport from any Muslim country, and upon entering the US, they live with visitors rights.

Therefore, before the end of his term, president Obama asked the congress to leave them in the US during his term. He didn’t think about blacks and whites at all, but rather about how to allow Muslims to infiltrate Europe and the US, and he has achieved his goal!

This is the reason that the US is now in the same position Europe is in; it isn’t about the issue of blacks or whites but about “Are you a Muslim? Welcome! Are you a Catholic or a Protestant? Be quiet!”

Question: Is this a predetermined scenario even before Obama became president?

Answer: Of course! This is the only reason he became president.

Comment: But he was surrounded by Jews.

Answer: It makes no difference, the Jews are always happy to assist and to serve, although they will be eaten as dessert at the end.

Question: You and I keep talking about an upper scenario, does anyone actually manage it?

Answer: Of course, it is the upper leadership. But it is in accordance with the general scenario. When we don’t take the management of the world into our own hands, the forces of impurity manage it and this is the result.

If anyone disagrees with me and claims that it isn’t so, I can show him that this is what Kabbalah books say: at the end of times Islam will be the world religion.

Therefore, we have to make great efforts in order to explain this to people. People have freedom of choice to understand this and to take the control into their own hands according to what Kabbalists show us so that it will be a strong earthly control of people who want to be equal, united, and free of any religion or vows, so that only love and the mutual connection between them will manage the world.

Opinion (DSLauretta, Professor of Planetary Science and Cosmochemistry at the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, near-Earth asteroid formation and evolution export): “Yesterday, the media reported widely on the upcoming launch of OSIRIS-REx. While many of these reports were accurate and informative, a few of the headlines were a little misleading. For example:

NASA Spacecraft Set to Explore Giant Asteroid That Could Destroy Earth

“Fortunately, as the news cycle progressed, these inaccuracies were corrected:

No, Asteroid Bennu Won’t Destroy Earth

“I thought it would be useful to summarize the effects of a Bennu impact. The Minor Planet Center classifies Bennu as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid because it has a diameter larger than 150 m and a minimum orbit intersection distance (MOID) of < 0.05 Astronomical Units (abbreviated AU and equal to the average distance between the Earth and Sun) with the Earth. Bennu has a mean diameter of 492 meters and its MOID is 0.003 AU. The MOID will steadily decrease resulting in a potential Earth impact during the later decades of the 22^nd century. The tabulation of potential Earth impacts results in a cumulative impact probability of approximately 1 in 2700 sometime in the 2175– 2196 time frame. …

“A Bennu impact would be a major natural disaster. The results would be felt for hundreds of miles with most of the damage concentrated within tens of miles of the impact site. The Earth would be largely unaffected, with the exception of a new geologic feature – the Bennu impact crater!”

Answer: I don’t believe that humanity will be under such an attack at all because according to nature’s plan we have to reach a certain state. Until we reach complete similarity to the good force of nature and begin to see everything through it, nothing will happen to us. Only when we do will the world, which we see though our egoism, gradually melt away and fade away from our feelings, and instead we will have a new feeling of a good and perfect world, which we call the upper world.

Then humanity will feel that it exists in a totally new dimension. In a good dimension, not a bad one, while the asteroids and such are revealed to us the way they are because that’s what we feel in our egoistic states.

Therefore, it is a waste of time talking about this issue and a waste of money developing means to deal with it, since it will not lead to any positive outcomes.

All our advancements, including scientific and technological ones, are also useless.

We will undergo states in which we will draw away from this advancement; states of the recognition of evil in every aspect even with regard to scientific and technological advancement. I am saying this as a scientist. We will feel that our egoistic development is totally unnecessary.

Humanity has undergone all the phases of evolution in order to feel the current state as the recognition of evil, of egoism. Everything we have created in the world was created by our egoism and so we will cease to use it. At the end of our spiritual evolution everything that we have created on the surface of the earth will simply evaporate.

Question: What can lead to the extinction of the Earth and of mankind? Can this actually happen?

Answer: Certainly not!

It is only as a result of the correction of our nature, from an egoistic nature to an altruistic nature, that we will reach a state in which we will begin to see another world.

Our world will indeed turn into a different world, into a good and perfect world that is totally closed, and so there will be no problems.

Then the world as we feel it now will disappear, we will also not feel ourselves the way we do now and will only feel our internal attributes, whereas the external attributes will gradually be nullified and will seemingly evaporate. It is because our egoistic attributes will become altruistic and we will not feel all that anymore.

Question: In the modern world people listen to those who are very wealthy. How can you be heard of if you are not rich?

Answer: The world is advancing toward a great crisis, so the rich will soon have nothing to say as their wealth will gradually cease to be an influential factor.

The wealthy fear what is happening in society now just as you do. After all, as we advance toward a state in which we begin to live on a small allowance we will have almost no interaction with them. In the future a a large country and the whole world will live on small allowances, and then it will not matter whether you are rich or poor.

I hope that people will begin to understand that filling does not depend on money. Money itself cannot be a filling even in our corporeal world.
