In the News (Lenta.ru): “The exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union … became a sensation. Experts talk about the special relationship of Britain to Europe, the revolt of the people against the elites, and the impact of the migration crisis. But few people pay attention to something else: the collapse of the European Union in many respects is similar to the collapse of the Soviet Union. The fact of the matter is that both geopolitical entities were formed based on ideology. And the collapse resulted from a radical divergence between the proclaimed ideological objectives and reality.

“The Soviet ideology promised equality, justice, a higher level of economic development and living standards compared to the ‘world capitalism.’ In fact, Soviet citizens got shortages, unfair distribution, corrupt government, and a level of development and living standards greatly inferior to the West. …

“The ideology of ‘democracy’ promised Europeans the highest level of well-being and freedom for all, a world without borders, wars and conflicts, justice and equality in rights and democracy, that is, the decisive role of the people in political decision-making. But in reality, EU citizens have seen a huge income gap between the handful of the wealthiest entrepreneurs and the poorest segments of society, the influx of immigrants taking the jobs of the indigenous people, war in the name of democracy instead of peace, the solving of essential political issues by unelected Brussels bureaucrats instead of democracy.

My Comment: When folding uncorrected parts together, we get an even more uncorrected system. It is written that when the wicked gather together, it is bad for them and bad for the world, meaning that it is better not to gather.

And it is written that if altruistic Tzaddikim (righteous) gather, it is good for them and good for the world.
If first they had re-educated the egoistic-wicked into altruistic-righteous, everything that the masses dreamed of would have been realized, as it happened is a result of management by the bankers.

New Life #606 – US – Russia Relations
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

Every nation has its own character, and supplements it with what it absorbs from outside. In general, this addition is not comfortable. America was created by Anglo-Saxons and Germans, so it is not like Russia.

The Russian people are not very pragmatic, but pride is very important to them. They are ready for anything; the main thing is to be told that they are strong. In contrast, the Anglo-Saxon approach is the opposite. It is very pragmatic and they don’t care what is said about them, the main thing being that they are advancing further and further.

In addition, the American approach has changed greatly under the influence of the African-Americans, the Latinos, and the Muslims who have entered and become assimilated among them. In the future, America will weaken and will not continue to be a superpower. So don’t expect there to be a struggle between it and Russia.

We see that the world is changing; new technologies have eliminated the need for great weaponry, large industry, and so forth. In the future the world will break up into a lot of small nations and each nation will have its own character. The United States will also fall apart.

When we can print everything with three-dimensional printers, the transport of commodities between nations will drop dramatically. In spite of this, we will discover failures that we cannot live calmly with that will oblige us to correct our nature.

Like a couple quarreling over nonsense, peoples will want to kill each other. So we will reach a situation where the world will require education for a new connection; we will reach a worldwide law: through a special education we will have to learn to connect above all the differences.

In the News (Free Press): “The world economy has entered a phase of development when all lose. This is what renowned investor Bill Gross, who until 2014 headed one of the largest bond funds PIMCO and now heads Janus Capital, published in his “Monthly Investment Outlook.” According to the financier, the deadlock situation is clearly visible if we analyze the pace of credit growth in the world.

“Gross notes that the average annual credit growth was above 9% until 2000, today it is less than 4%. ‘Credit is the fuel oil heating the system, and if the system is unable to generate sufficient credit growth, real economic growth stalls or even goes in the opposite direction,’ – says Bill Gross.

“To illustrate, the financier gave the example of the board game “Monopoly.” When all the properties are bought up and all the objects built on them, the players just have to walk around to complete ruin….

“If translating Gross’ postulates into the language of classic Marxism, we have now entered the stage when the production relations come into conflict with the productive forces. And accordingly, the inevitable collapse of the current economic model will transition to the new.

“According to professor Valentina Katasonova of Moscow State Institute of International Finance, the current crisis can end very badly for the inhabitants of the earth:
– Today, the demand for money in general is falling in the world, there is overproduction. It is issued as an unlimited and uncontrolled operation of printing machines for the so-called ‘quantitative easing.’ When there is an overproduction of goods, prices fall, and when there is an overproduction of money, interest rates fall. Today, many banks around the world have negative interest rates on deposits, and some central banks have negative interest rates on bank operations. Recently the sensation thundered in Denmark and Belgium, where some commercial banks issued mortgage loans at negative interest rates. In general, there is a theater of the absurd. …

“The main thing is that no one has any idea how to get out of the dangerous situation. At the Federal Reserve the choice is between bad and very bad. …

“The current model of the world economy leads to unemployment and mass starvation. …

“Seriously, the problem of the current owners of the money – is to drastically reduce the population of the planet. It is not necessary to conduct a war, people can be poisoned with harmful products, impairing them. The remaining people will tire out in an “electronic concentration camp.”

My Comment: Against our will, nature is moving us toward the next level of development. We are still clinging to the old, as people who have matured physically but haven’t developed mentally. Money is the equivalent of labor and relations, all the property that there is in society, but it can only be the wealth that exists in nature, gold.

It is necessary to return to a gold standard until we completely eliminate the banknotes and begin to produce only what is necessary for everyone and with equal distribution.

Let’s assume that there was no coup, but it was a staging of a play by Erdogan’s government in order to remain in power. Earlier this year he lost the election but he refused to leave, so he staged a “coup” as the story of his wretched opponents in order to remove them.

Already 2,836 soldiers have been arrested, including senior officers; 2,745 judges were removed from office. Erdogan ordered the media to make a false declaration of a coup in order to encourage people to go to the streets and support his government. He provoked the media to show to the world that people support him.

He wants to realize a radical policy in accordance with Islamic Sharia laws and to stay in power for life becoming a symbol of the new Turkey, like Ataturk, whose legacy and memory don’t give him peace.

Question: During recent weeks a whole chain of events occurred in the world and it is still unclear where they will lead us. It began with the exit of Britain from the European Union. Then major terrorist acts broke out one after another in European countries.

And yesterday a military coup attempt was made in Turkey that caused a terrible rift in the country. What can you say about the situation in Turkey?

Answer: Turkey is at the crossroad of Europe and Asia, both geographically and internally. On the one hand, it belongs to the Muslim world and, on the other hand, it is a member of NATO and seemingly belongs to Europe.

The border between Europe and Asia runs through Turkey’s capital Istanbul, or as it was formerly called Constantinople. And those there feel this split, an internal partition. There are many people in Turkey who want to be Europeans, but recently the part that belongs to radical-Islam intensified.

The gap between these two groups is steadily increasing, and therefore in the future we have yet to see a lot of turmoil in the country. The situation won’t calm down by itself, although the coup failed and President Erdogan now has an opportunity to bring his order to the country. But people don’t really welcome it.

Erdogan’s opponents have failed so far, but it doesn’t mean they have no power. We need to understand that the entire world is now at the similar crossroads of two different ways. Soon we will see the same opposition in European countries, when the European power will subside and the opposing Muslim power of radical Islam will intensify.

Question: So who will win? Will it be Islam?

Answer: No. None of them can win. Scales will swing from one direction to the other, but neither side will win.

The method of connection that the wisdom of Kabbalah offers should win, and then the entire world will unite and there will be no winners and losers. It doesn’t matter to what side each one belongs, left or right, all will feel that salvation is only in unity. The overall success is only in this; there can’t be anything else.

Question: And how will Turkey look then, like a Muslim country or Western European?

Answer: The country will be neither Muslim nor European but simply one in which there is a complete unity. And it will be the same way in the entire world. If the Light that returns to the source flows through the Kabbalists to the world, to all the nations, then everyone will understand and feel that unity is the only correct and possible state.

In the News (The Uptake): In American President Barak Obama’s statement following the police shooting of black men in Minnesota and Louisiana, President Obama said “These are not isolated incidents. They’re symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system. And I just want to give people a few statistics to try to put in context why emotions are so raw around these issues. …

“Last year African Americans were shot by police at more than twice the rate of whites. …

“African Americans are arrested at twice the rate of whites; African Americans defendants are 75 percent more likely to be charged with offenses carrying mandatory minimums. They receive sentences that are almost ten percent longer than comparable whites arrested for the same crime.

“So that if you add it all up, the African American and Hispanic population, who make up only 30 percent of the general population, make up more than half of the incarcerated population.

“These are facts. And when incidents like this occur, there’s a big chunk of our fellow citizenry that feels as if because of the color of their skin they are not being treated the same.

“… there are problems across our criminal justice system. There are biases, some conscious and unconscious that have to be rooted out. That’s not an attack on law enforcement. That is reflective of the values that the vast majority of law enforcement bring to the job.

Answer: There were no cardinal changes as a result of the fact that an African-American is the president of the US. His gentle attitude toward Islam will have a much greater impact. The issue is not a person’s skin color or his origin but the person himself.

America is abandoning the Anglo-Saxon basis it was founded upon and has no other foundation yet. It is essential since life demands changes, but this requires the education of the people. Obama, instead of educating the people, has brought them to poverty and has recreated all the former (racial differences) and new (anti-Islamic) contradictions during the two terms of his presidency.

The climate is the biggest mystery in the modern world. It is hidden from all and classified in secrecy in government offices and among scientists involved in this research and statistics collection.

Nature is preparing us for a future surprise that people are better off not knowing about it. We can’t be saved from the influence of the climate on us, not as in the case of a nuclear bomb in which it’s possible to wait until the danger has passed. And it is not like a brief turbulence in the weather: a storm, hurricane, tempests, or earthquakes. Instead, the climate will be going to a completely different level for which we are not suitable. For example, the temperatures will reach 70 degrees centigrade (158 degrees Fahrenheit) accompanied by a huge lack of oxygen in the atmosphere. As a result, there will suddenly be a huge, rapid multiplication of hordes of insects, rats, cockroaches, and internal bacteria and we will have no ability to deal with them.

Question: So what can be done?

Answer: There is nothing for us to do except for one thing: to rise above the forces of nature. This is possible if we take it upon ourselves to awaken the forces that are found above nature. If nature is going out of balance on this level, it is only possible to restore it from the next level!

Einstein said that it is necessary to rise to the next level. From there it will be possible to bring the previous levels to a state of stability and balance and then manage it.

Question: Does this mean that nature is pushing us to the next level?

Answer: Certainly! Our refuge is only through rising to the next level. The imbalance in nature is due to a laxity in the connection between us. This has resulted in our neglect to the opportunity to control it, the possibility of bringing ourselves and all of nature into balance. In fact, we are contributing to this imbalance. But we can also correct it on our own only if we exit to the next level.

And if we don’t choose to do this, we will continue on the path of suffering where natural disasters and war will erupt. Only a minimal number of people in the world are capable of understanding the situation and will begin to change themselves. But this number is sufficient to overcome the situation. Even this small amount of people must awaken, ascend, and get closer to each other, making them into a serious system.

We in the Bnei Baruch organization through our Kabbalah Education Centers are trying to gather all the true Kabbalists of the world. But we are still not able to bring all of these people to a level in which they feel a tremendous responsibility toward themselves and all people, and mainly towards the highest power of nature. This is very important.

There are no other ways of reaching this other than compelling people who can unite and create the correct system of mutual connection between them to carry out such an operation! If we don’t do this internally, then through the peoples of the world, through all of humanity, nature will begin to push us and it will be terrible! So we are working in this direction and I hope we will succeed.

Comment: James Traub, member of the American Council of Foreign Relations (CFR), Harvard graduate, and member of one of the richest families in America, wrote an article entitled “It’s Time for the Elites to Rise Up Against the Ignorant Masses” (Financial Policy). In it, he claims, “The Brexit has laid bare the political schism of our time. It’s not about the left vs. the right; it’s about the sane vs. the mindlessly angry.” In support of this view, he cited “the Brexit vote was the utter repudiation of the bankers and economists and Western heads of state who warned voters against the dangers of a split with the European Union.” He contends that “Extremism has gone mainstream.” And that “Today’s citizen revolt — in the United States, Britain, and Europe — may upend politics as nothing else has in my lifetime.”

Answer: Many today are uneducated, poor, and unemployed, but who is responsible for that? It is the elite, isn’t it? Who controls the right buttons, the cables, and the connections? Is it the masses? Who twists and manipulates them? Of course it is the elite along with the police, the military, the media, journalists, television, and the radio. Therefore the coming war is the war of the elite against their own people.

Lately, we have been witnessing a growing gap between the elite and the masses because the middle class has been totally erased and there is nothing left of it. The masses are becoming increasingly impoverished while the elite are getting richer with totally unnecessary wealth. But egoism tells them to grab, take, and deplete the masses. The result is that 90% of the people fall and 10% rise sharply. How will it all end? It is hard to say and even frightening to think about, because egoism encourages  them to destroy the masses, leaving 15-20% of the population in order to provide services to the elite. And all the rest, in line with fascist theory, will be destroyed because today the world is truly gravitating to fascism.

Question: Do they have the means to exterminate people?

Answer: They have everything. They are developing a unisex approach, thus decreasing the birth rate. They are diminishing people’s desire for a family through advertising and the media. We will soon see the great damage that modern medications are causing and what happens with the health care services, with drugs, and with every aspect of our life.

The most important thing for the elite is to disconnect the masses from active life and bring about their gradual disappearance in order to rid the world of all the “extra” mouths that have to be fed. There are very serious efforts made in this direction. I believe that they will add biological factors that have been especially developed in the form of different bacteria. We are yet to see a certain illness that has no vaccination. It is all done gradually, but it is starting to work and we will see that during one generation humanity will be reduced by two or three billion people.

Question: What is your opinion on what is happening?

Answer: There are many different options, one of which is the path of suffering and the other the path of general unity: both of the elite and the masses.

The path of unity is possible only if we manage through the help of the upper force to convince most of the people in the world, that we need to realize the dead end all the other methods bring us to. The path of suffering can take on different forms, like Fascism or a world war, and at the same time, civil wars and general hatred. Moreover, the elite will spur the immigrants in Europe through the media channels or in other ways—they know how to do it—and thus incite them against the local populations. Thus, a couple of million immigrants will erase Europe. Then it will not be a problem to get rid of the immigrants. We are about to witness very interesting events.

In the News (Forex): “After the Second World War, Western leaders have tried to create rules that would help avoid a repeat of the horrors of the past decades. They sought to encourage prosperity and independence, so that ‘war was not only unthinkable but materially impossible.’ And their efforts were not in vain, they have begun to bear fruit. Since then, in Western Europe there has been no armed conflict. Development of world trade contributed to the growth of incomes around the world. Yet Brexit – is a clear sign that the process of globalization is unfolding in the opposite direction. Many economists were shocked by this unexpected setback.”

My Comment: The problem is not with globalization, it is imposed on us by the forces of nature. We have evolved to the point where we should begin to converge until the feeling of complete unity as one family, with one heart. The process must be gradual and deliberate, as it is necessary to follow the laws of nature.

But there is no need to invent our future. We could plan it as long as we develop within our nature, through the usual egoism.

But now, before us the next stage of our development is being revealed: a single integral humanity. To work together with the forces of nature toward this state, we must learn the integral laws of our development. And for this, we must become like them ourselves. And this is made possible for us through the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Question: If the desire for freedom comes from the Creator and according to this program, leads to our individualism and liberalism, where does this lead us to in the world today?

Answer: It leads us to the feeling that our plans are baseless, to a dead end of our goals, and to our inability to lead a sensible normal life, which means to the recognition of a total collapse.

Humanity is reaching this point, and then it will begin to realize that there is a totally different way to advance.
