New Life 748 – The Attempted Coup In Turkey
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

The Arab Spring, the extremist Muslim world, will continue to grow. The world is advancing according to the plan of the creation to perfect mutual connection, and on the way we will have to recognize that all the evil that there is, is the hatred between us. There were those who dreamed about communism, others who dreamed about capitalism and then about the EU, but everything collapses. The plan of creation has always pushed us forward, but today we have to get to know it and act according to it. We have to learn what nature demands of us, to recognize the evil that is the ego and hatred, and to correct it to love.

Half of the Turkish people are inclined to Europe and the West and the other half to Islam. These are two opposite forces. The connection between all the attempted coups in the world is the revelation of evil in human nature. Evil is not a difference of opinion, but that one side wants to control the other instead of connecting above the differences.

We all have to be connected, and this is possible only by ascending above our nature. If we step on our ego, we will be able to connect above it. Everyone should have the freedom to do whatever he wants to and at the same time feel as friends. There will always be differences between people, but today nature obliges us to find a method to connect and to find the balance, to find the middle line.

Question: Genetic testing allows a person to learn about one’s personal hereditary likelihood of certain diseases and the effectiveness of different treatments, his or her ancestry, and the migration of deep ancestors. A person’s genetic map can reveal all this.  What can Kabbalah say beyond genetics, beyond physical genes?

Answer: Humanity came from ancient Babylon, which was the home of many small nations. From there they spread in different directions over the entire globe. Initially they had common culture and language, a more or less similar approach to life and family. However, since every nation settled in their own place, the nature of the terrain, the force acting there, and the environmental conditions began to influence them.

Every nation received a different influence and therefore acquired their color and character, according to the place they settled, in England, Europe, Africa, or in the East – India, China, and Japan.

A place made a person different from others who settled in different places. And those people who live nearby are usually similar.

We all came from ancient Babylon, all people of the world. I think it is yet to be discovered that there was a connection between South and North America, Europe and Africa. As in the spiritual sense, we are all descendants of Adam and Eve, and in the material sense we come from one particular type of monkeys that developed and spread throughout the world.

Unlike monkeys, humans demonstrated a special ability to develop. Monkeys don’t change from generation to generation, but humans change enormously.

We see how much each next generation differs from the previous one, as if they are made from a different material. The modern generation has a different attitude to life, family, children, and to all basic life necessities. All this changes from generation to generation.

Family is not the same as it used to be; the relationships between a man and a woman, between parents and children, the concept of home, kitchen have all changed, especially nowadays.

Therefore, I don’t think that we should be surprised by the results of genetic analysis. Did all the ancestors of Englishmen live in England? Two to three-thousand years ago, barbarians inhabited the whole of Europe.

Culture began to spread from ancient Babylon to the Mediterranean, and then from ancient Greece and Rome to Europe. People were already mixed when they left ancient Babylon. We look at a person and say that he is one-quarter Indian, one-quarter Finnish, and half French. But this is only what we see, and in fact, all these genes were already mixed in him when people were leaving Babylon.

Question: How are these characteristic features passed from generation to generation? How are they transmitted?

Answer: The properties are transmitted through the Reshimot, i.e., informational genes. This bit of information enclosed within the semen gives the internal and external image developing within a person. Parents aren’t just an incubator where eggs are hatched. There is a much deeper internal connection between parents and children that is passed from father to son.

I spoke today with parents who complained about the depressed state of their children. They are perplexed and don’t know what to do. Depression often pushes youth to do stupid things because they are doing everything to blur and suppress depression as deeply as possible.

Depression among teenagers is an international problem. Around 15 percent of teenagers are depressed and in some nations the number is higher than 15 percent.

It is very painful to see your children or your grandchildren in a situation like this. So it is up to us to try to provide them with a meaningful existence because life is colorful, complex, and very profound.

If we “swim” and glide along the surface of life, we are like sewage floating in the whirlpool of life. But if we sink into it and reach its depths in particular, we find the meaning of existence in it, the developmental plan of creation, and we realize that we are in fact the most unique creatures in the universe.

There is great meaning in our lives. We can “rise above the stars,” meaning, we can transcend time and space and attain an unlimited state.

It is up to us to discover and disseminate the knowledge about this not for ourselves, but for our children and grandchildren so that they can attain their own happiness. Let’s think about this today.

In the News (Los Angeles Times): “Israeli and American families of victims of Palestinian attacks filed a $1-billion lawsuit against Facebook Inc., claiming the social network is providing a platform for militants to spread incitement and violence, their lawyers said Monday.

“Shurat Hadin, an Israeli legal advocacy group, filed the suit on behalf of the five families in a New York court late Sunday, alleging that Facebook is violating the U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act by providing a service to militant groups that assists them in ‘recruiting, radicalizing, and instructing terrorists, raising funds, creating fear and carrying out attacks.’

“‘Facebook can’t sit in its stone tower in Palo Alto while blood is being spilled here on the streets of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. It has a social responsibility. It can’t serve as a social network for Hamas,’ said Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, the Israeli lawyer who is representing the families.

“She compared Facebook to a bank, saying that just as money may be transferred as a service for terror groups, so can content.

“Facebook had no immediate comment on the lawsuit, saying it had not yet received a copy. But in a statement it said people need to ‘feel safe’ when using Facebook.

“‘There is no place for content encouraging violence, direct threats, terrorism or hate speech on Facebook,’ it said. ‘We have a set of Community Standards to help people understand what is allowed on Facebook, and we urge people to use our reporting tools if they find content that they believe violates our standards so we can investigate and take swift action.’

“The suit comes amid a 10-month outburst of Israeli-Palestinian violence that has seen scores of Palestinian attacks targeting Israeli civilians and troops. …

“The case is among the first to argue that U.S. anti-terrorism laws should take precedence over the ‘safe harbor’ provisions of the Communications Decency Act, which normally shield online companies for liability for what their users post.

“It is not clear whether the lawsuit will succeed. In addition to the ‘safe harbor’ protections, the court may rule that freedom of expression precedes anti-terror laws. Facebook has its own code of conduct and often removes content deemed objectionable. …

“The suit comes as Israel is considering how to contain what it sees as rampant Palestinian incitement on social media. Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan is preparing a bill meant to rein in content seen as incitement on social media, and earlier this month he said Facebook had become ‘a monster,’ adding that the company had ‘some of the victims’ blood’ on its hands.”

My Comment: The network administrators need to demonstrate their independence and it is particularly important for them not to anger the Muslims and terrorists because this is an uncontrollable force and everyone is afraid of it. People who don’t like the situation and try to oppose it will encounter the strongest Facebook lawyers.

The conclusion is simple: raise a wave of protest on Facebook and competing social networks. And, the influence from above, through the unity of all in the network of our methodology of unity —this will invoke the positive force of nature—and terrorist activities on social media will dissipate!

In the News (Catholic Herald): “Christians in Europe must break down ‘walls of fear and aggression’ and try to understand people of other faiths and backgrounds, Pope Francis has said.

“In a video message on Saturday to participants at the ‘Together for Europe’ gathering in Munich, the Pope insisted that ‘invisible walls’ are being strengthened and dividing people from one another. 

“’These walls are being built in people’s hearts,’ the Pope said. ‘They are walls made of fear and aggression, a failure to understand people of different backgrounds or faith. They are walls of political and economic selfishness, without respect for the life and dignity of every person.'”

“Pope Francis told representatives of some 300 European Christian organisations, movements and communities from different churches that they and their fellow Christians need to find new, more vibrant ways to offer Christian values to European society and to the world.

“’Europe is called to reflect and to ask itself whether its immense heritage, so permeated with Christianity, belongs in a museum or is still able to inspire culture and to offer its treasures to the whole of humankind,’ he said.

Question: Pope Francis is an extraordinary person. Is this warning about the lack of awareness of a person of other religions dangerous?

Answer: No, this is not a dangerous warning. He is simply stating a fact. Within the religions there are thousands of different “walls.” For example, if the “wall” that exists between Christians and Muslims is clear, the impulses that burn within each one of the religions are much stronger passions.

Question: Is Europe, as the Pope appeals: “still able to inspire culture and to offer its treasures to the whole of humankind”?

Answer: Europe is a tired continent. It is not ready to do anything.

Question: The Pope also said:“’Every authentic unity draws on the wealth of diversity which forms it – like a family which grows in unity in so far as its members can fully and fearlessly be themselves.’

“For Europe to be a family, he added, the good of the human person must be the central concern and groups and nations must find ways of working together that “are not only economic but also social and cultural” (Catholic Herald).

Answer: All of these words are right, but many of the inhabitants of Europe can say this; what is important is do they have a method for realizing these words? If not, then these are only beautiful expressions; it is like sitting next to our grave and crying.

The inhabitants of Europe have no faith in their power and essentially have no faith in the method of correction, the change. So Pope Francis is indeed looking at everything correctly and is saying the right things, but what is next? In fact, he is just lamenting over Europe. The Pope is the spiritual leader of not only Europe but also a billion other people. He must offer an educational method.

In the past, in their evolutionary development Christians became savages. Today, Christians and all of humanity must be educated to become human, connecting to become united, resembling nature, creating a single harmonious whole. Through connection like this, everyone can feel happy and balanced, and peace will dwell in Europe.

Comment: He also says, “Unity is like a family.”

Answer: Indeed, it is up to society to live as one big family. The Pope is correct that this situation doesn’t exist in Europe. The ancestors of European society didn’t set this goal for themselves. But he can now show them the way. He can turn to the entire continent of Europe as their spiritual leader.

We must write to him and actually spread before him a series of explanatory applications, documents, and materials. This should be his appeal to Europe. The Jews, and in their hands the wisdom of Kabbalah, exist to help the Pope to turn to the society of his European friends correctly. For after all, the wisdom of Kabbalah is derived from the same source from which Christianity is derived.

Question: During the UEFA Cup in Marseilles, a bloody brawl broke out. What is happening to humanity? What have we come to?

Answer: People must release inner tension, let off steam.

Question: They didn’t need that in the past?

Answer: In the past, egoism, which is the heart of our nature, was not so great, terrible, and wicked. In the present state nothing can be done, people need to relax themselves somehow, to get rid of the accumulation of strong tension.

Unfortunately, training in sports clubs doesn’t help. Instead people are just puffing themselves up for such violent acts like these. Even passive types of recreation like fishing and hunting don’t help, besides these are not mass events. In contrast, soccer is already another matter.

In ancient Greece, during sports competitions wars were suspended! Sport was somewhat similar to religion. It was impossible to bribe athletes, they had no substance abuse problems, and they were not tested because they didn’t have a desire to deceive anyone. They were respected because of their talents and achievements. Sports were noble. Today, sports are dirty. Each nation endeavors to win by any means; the main thing is to hoist its flag.

I believe that national affiliation should be removed from sports and the buying and selling of players to the highest bidder prohibited. What kind of a custom is this?! If I had a billion dollars, I could assemble a team that would become the world champions in soccer. Is this sport?! This is a struggle between nations for their name and prestige!

What kind of prestige is this if players from Africa represent Norway for instance?! The problem is that sports have become a political struggle. I don’t see anything in this except the growth of egoism, and one that you cannot be particularly proud of; it is unreasonable, not acceptable to humanity, not placed in the right framework, not giving any pleasure, nor producing a good result.

I would simply transform this into an amusing game, putting a thousand people on one side and a thousand people on the other side, a wall facing a wall, to come out into an open field without any clubs, to measure their strength under the supervision of the police, with cameras all around for a live broadcast, and let the whole world would see how people hit each other.

Question: So is it useless to be engaged in their re-education?

Answer: That would be their re-education. They would be letting off steam and that is all. After that everyone would be given a awarded a liter of beer and everyone would feel calm and relaxed. They would sit satisfied, each one with a black eye and a beer!

It also puts them on TV for the whole world to see, and everyone is happy to see—to what we have come to in the 21^st century!

In the News (Fox News): “Newly unearthed photos of President Obama in Muslim garb underscore his deep ties to the faith — and possibly help explain his reluctance to call out radical Islam, Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly said Wednesday.

“The photos, aired on “The O’Reilly Factor,” were taken at the wedding of Obama’s half-brother, Malik Obama, in Maryland sometime in the early 1990s, O’Reilly said. They were not offered as evidence that Obama is Muslim, as some of his critics insist, but to show his “deep emotional ties” to the religion of his father and stepfather, O’Reilly said.

“‘There is no question the Obama administration’s greatest failure is allowing the Islamic terror group ISIS to run wild, murdering thousands of innocent people all over the world, including many Muslims,’ said O’Reilly. ‘Mr. Obama has never, never acknowledged that mistake, nor does he define the ISIS threat accurately.

“’That group is killing innocent people in order to impose a radical version of Islam on the world,’ the newsman added. ‘The jihad is solely based on theology, perverted as it may be.’

“A similar photo emerged in 2008, when Obama was running for the Democratic presidential nomination against Hillary Clinton. In that photo, Obama was seen wearing a white turban and Muslim dress. The photo was sent to the influential Drudge Report, and Obama’s campaign blamed Clinton for the ‘smear.’ …

“The president reportedly met his older half-brother for the first time in 1985. Malik Obama now lives in a rural Kenyan village near Lake Victoria.”

My Comment: The Creator is leading the world toward the recognition of evil in people and the recognition of the need to counterbalance evil with good. Attraction of the good force into our world happens through educating people according to the method that was discovered by Abraham and is presented in the wisdom of Kabbalah. The time has come to use this method throughout the world before the world makes bigger mistakes.

In the News (stoletie.ru): “The phrase ‘economic growth’ – one of the most commonly used in the lexicon of liberal economists. At the same time it is cleverly used by politicians and statesmen of the West to give out for the black white and vice versa. The term ‘economic growth,’ as well as the statistics used to measure it, have long been the means of manipulating public consciousness. And also the means of covering destructive and even suicidal policies of the “golden billion” in the economy. …

“Can you trust indicators of gross domestic product (GDP) and other similar indicators, measuring economic growth? – Definitely not. First, there is the widespread practice of statistical fiddling and fraud. Particularly successful in this statistical service is the USA. …Second, changing the methodology of the calculation of GDP, as a ‘product’ it includes all sorts of dubious ’services’. As a result, the structure of the US GDP, the real economy (industry, agriculture, construction) accounted for a little more than 1/5; the rest – services. Yes there is, of course, vital services, for example, transport and communications. But at least half of the total US GDP, according to our estimates, – ‘air’.

“By ‘air’ and all sorts of additions, the statistical services in the US and other countries of the ‘golden billion’ manages to ‘paint’, ‘positive dynamics’ of their economies. …

“Anyone, even a novice economist, knows that companies, corporations, other business entities have assets and liabilities. Assets – property and various requirements (e.g., requirements on loans, goods delivered, etc.). Liabilities – above all, the various obligations (for example, service obligations and repayment of loans, payment of the goods, etc.). Even people who are far from economics and accounting are well aware that if the commitments (in other words, the debts) begin to outweigh assets, then a company faces bankruptcy.

“Surprisingly, in relation to countries, such a simple and intuitive approach of the assessment of their economic situation is rarely used. Especially the so-called ‘economically developed’ countries. And they, in the meantime, either are already bankrupt or are on track to bankruptcy. But very few people notice it. The problem is very simple: increases in debt of the ‘economically developed’ countries have over the years exceeded their GDP growth. In other words, the increase in debt business in an entity called an ‘economically developed country’ far exceeds the growth of its assets. The phrase ‘economic growth’ in relation to these countries looks more than strange. This ‘economic growth’ is with a ‘minus’ sign.

“Now specific data. I borrow them from the famous Finnish economist, businessman and politician Hellevig Jon (Jon Hellevig). He is one of the few foreign economists, who exposes the falsification of Western economics and statistics and shows that the US, EU countries and other countries of the ‘golden billion’ – are complete bankrupt. The most generalized picture of the western economy through 2013. Hellevig gives in his work “Awara Group is Study on the Real Growth of GDP Net-of-Debt”. It contains calculations of real GDP, adjusted for changes in debt. ‘The adjustment is very simple: the official measure of annual real (i.e., inflation-adjusted price changes) GDP growth is subtracted the country’s debt growth for the same year. This will be ‘the most real’ GDP growth. However, soon it will be a ‘very real’, or the present decline in GDP. …

“In all Western countries, the annual increase in the national debt is several times higher than the annual growth rates of GDP. Hellevig gives the following figures for the period 2004-2013 gg. Increase in the US national debt for the decade was 9.8 trillion. USD, and GDP growth -.. about 2 trillion dollars thus exceeding the growth of debt on growth in US GDP was five times. …

“Judging by the figures, which are listed in Hellevig’s work, countries such as Denmark, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Spain and several other countries have long been actually bankrupt. And countries such as the USA, France and Italy are already close to it.

“Their bankruptcy and parasitic existence due to the ongoing alignment of the country’s debt pyramid ‘golden billion’ are fig leaves used to cover the official GDP statistics. …

“The illusion of ‘well-being’ and a ‘high level’ of economic development in the ‘golden billion’ countries, is supported not only by a sly statistics. The main means – is massive and constantly growing borrowing from the rest of world.

“To carry out such borrowing is due to the fact that the Western countries have the ‘printing press’, creating astronomical amounts of money. Converging with this, the ‘printing press’ money is used not only and not so much for the operation within the countries of the ‘golden billion’, but for the purchase of goods, services and assets all over the world.Ultimately, the money accumulated in the international reserves of the countries of the world capitalist periphery. The undated and almost non-interest bearing promissory notes of the West will not be paid. …

“In conclusion, we can cite some statistics, revealing the secrets of “economic prosperity” countries of the “golden billion”.

“The US Central Intelligence Agency to regularly keep records of the external debt of almost all countries in the world (about 200 countries is taken into account).

“According to the CIA’s latest data, in 2012 the world’s foreign debt was equal to $ 70.60 trillion. (Roughly comparable to the size of global GDP).

“That country in the first line of the table of the CIAis : US – US $ 18.85 trillion; the European Union – 17.95; Japan – 3.02; Switzerland – 1.54; Australia – 1.48; Canada – 1.33. The total external debt of these ‘golden billion’ countries was 44.17. That is 62.6% of the world debt. …

“One gets the following picture: the higher the country’s level of external debt, the less are its foreign exchange reserves. And vice versa: the more foreign exchange reserves, the lower the level of external debt. All this clearly reflects the parasitic nature of the countries that we used to refer to the category of ‘economically developed countries.’”

My Comment: Everything is depending upon a future world war that will “erase” everything or the recognition of the need for a true reconstruction of the individual and society, and not the economy. This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah offers.

Comment: Citizens of Iraq are selling their kidneys in return for thousands of dollars because they are so impoverished. The country is gradually becoming the biggest center in the Middle East for the illegal trafficking of organs. The world is losing its humanity.

Answer: Is the world able to maintain humanity in the face of developing egoism? The world is losing more and more of it to the same extent that egoism is growing in us.

Question: How is it possible to escape from this?

Answer: There is no way. On the contrary, you are sinking deeper and deeper within the ego, but since you don’t want to suffer, you try to pay less attention to what is happening. People will produce different pills, films, drugs, and will establish sports competitions, etc., just to relax and not feel the problems. It is a natural human form that runs in its natural nature called egoism.

Sooner or later man will come to the point when he will discover that it’s no longer possible to continue in this way since the next object that they can break into parts and sell will be himself and his family, although towards his family he would already be indifferent. We already see some distance that exists between parents and children, and about the distance between couples there is nothing new to say. Thus, all of this is natural, when the main thing is the worry for my beloved self. We are in a certain plan of nature, in a matrix, that works on us and consistently leads us to the need to recognize the evilness of our nature, which claims that the most important thing is myself and no one else, and wants to get rid of the others. .

When I feel that I am completely dependent on those surrounding me, then I will begin to erase the difference between us. If they begin to relate to me in a good way, then it will be good for me and for them, and if they relate to me badly, then I will feel badly.

Only through feeling badly will I reach that state and begin to think of how, in any case, to correct the world that I am dependent on each moment of my existence. In this way I reach the need to worry about others. Thus, the negative relations between people are unavoidable. Through them we will feel the need for mutual connection and then we will begin to correct the world according, if necessary, like after a war when people are all engaged in building something together that is shared and essential for existence.

When we recognize this out of necessity, we will gradually feel that in the connection between us there lies hidden a great state of unity that reveals a completely new world and new sensations to us.

This is the way to happiness, although it is a long way. By studying the wisdom of Kabbalah, you begin to understand that everything should be quick, nice, and good. There is no need to wait for terrible crashes and ugly situations. We need to be do this now and start to implement it.

Opinion (vestifinance.ru): “Europe is at a crossroads, European leaders must radically change the political and economic landscape of the region or the continuing instability will provoke a ‘domino effect’ in which the number of countries who decide to leave the EU will increase substantially, according to a regular bank HSBC report.

“In the quarterly Bank report state of the European economy, prepared by analysts of HSBC Karen Ward and Fabio Balboni, it is noted that for the leaders of the European Union there are only two ways. They can continue to get out of the current economic situation, which gives a steady, but a slight increase and, will be perhaps fueled by the destabilization of the political sphere. Orthey may revise the current direction and consider changing and radically change the direction of life on the continent. …

“In fact, currently the economic approach that encourages unconventional stimulus measures in Europe, particularly in regard to quantitative easing conducted by the ECB dominates, which means that governments will ensure growth, but not enough to reassure the population that is not seeing direct benefits from this growth. …

“‘In fact, we expect that the EU will continue to try to get out of the current situation by extending QE and growing deficits. However, this process can not be sustained. We hope that instead Brexit will be a catalyst for positive change. The EU can use this for their own good. Trying to fight this decision will mean only one thing: after Britain other countries will follow.’”

My Comment: I want to believe that the departure of Britain will obligate the members of the European Union to study and weigh the matter. And the possibility even exists that they will also hear our voice, that of the Kabbalists….
