In the News (Daily Mail): “One of Europe’s wealthiest villages is refusing to accept any asylum seekers – and has instead voted to pay a fine of £200,000.

“Fears women and children could be at risk from sex attacks as well as the disruption to their peaceful way of life has led the super-rich of Switzerland’s alpine resort of Oberwil-Lieli to vote ‘no’ in a referendum to accept just ten migrants.

“The picturesque village, where 300 millionaires make up 2,200 population, they all used their financial muscle to reject a Government imposed quota.

“Some of Oberwil-Lieli’s wealthiest residents even offered to personally foot part of the fine being imposed by the Swiss authorities for refusing to house refugees.

“‘We do not want them here it is as simple as that,’ one resident of the village told MailOnline.

“‘We have worked hard all our lives and have a lovely village that we do not want it spoiled. We are not suited to take in refugees. They would not fit in here.’

“Surrounded by lush green pastures and with stunning views of the snow-capped Alps in the distance, the twin villages of Oberwil and Lieli would not look out of place on the front of a box of chocolates. …

“The roads are spotlessly clean, gardens are immaculately kept and despite its proximity to the country’s major city Zurich of 10 miles there is little traffic.

“Add a zero crime rate and it is not hard to see why homes in the villages cost upwards of £1million with many others worth three times as much.

“It is this idyll that villagers, a mixture of retirees and young families, voted to keep fearing an influx of migrants would change their way of life.”

My Comment: If we wanted to live in a normal, serene, beautiful, and quiet city where most of the population are wealthy Christians and Catholics, and suddenly poor Muslims join us with a different culture, language, religion, and mentality, naturally we wouldn’t want to accept them.

If the overwhelming majority of the local residents don’t want the refugees, the government has no right to force them. It cannot go against the people. Otherwise, why does it exist?

Question: How can Europe control the avalanche of refugees?

Answer: Only by introducing a rigid integral education that speaks about the unification of all people into one supra-national, supra-religious whole, above all differences between people, according to the general rule, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18).

Question: Is it possible to introduce this strictly?

Answer: If people want to live together, what else can be suggested to them? It only can be like this.

Question: One way or another, we see that everything is happening under an unseen management. What is the idea of a higher power that is directing the refugees toward Europe?

Answer: In this way, the Creator is pushing us toward correction so that we would understand that this is not the way.
In any case, we will have to begin to learn and engage in integral education.

Question: Great demographic changes are expected in the near future. Life expectancy is rising and the number of elderly people is growing, while the number of young people is declining.

For 51 years, from 1960 to 2011, the world population grew from three billion people to seven billion. The European population is expected to decrease by 10%, while the population in Africa and Asia is expected to grow by 30%. From 2010 until 2030, there will be a demand for 734 million new jobs and society’s greatest enemy will be aging.

The fact that people today can live to the age of 85 to 90 is a big problem for all of humanity.

Answer: Of course, and why do we need to live for so many years?

Question: A person has a desire to live.

Answer: Suppose we could add some magic potion to our drinking water and prolong people’s life by 50 years. What then?

I believe that a person was not born to work and produce more, sell more, buy more, pollute the earth more, and so on.

A person must dedicate his life to studying and exploring the structure of humanity and to correcting the connection between people since through that he attains an upper energy, the upper goal.

If a person comes to this state, through correcting himself and the world, he saturates the world with goodness, with the upper energy, and then life is worth living.

Therefore, all of the billions of people who come along and the billions who will live 50 years longer must become part of a new integral education system so that they will be taught to be human beings who will bring affluence, freedom, and “oxygen” into our society.

Thus, the problem of unemployment will be solved, the problem of “extra mouths to feed” and all of our problems will be solved without exception.

Everything depends only on the degree to which we are harmonious with nature, a harmony that can exist only when we ascend above our ego. If we do that, everyone will feel good, and if we don’t, then no matter how many people there are, things  will only get worse.

Question: What is the difference between the crisis of humanity in the time of Abraham and the crisis today? Why didn’t they use his method of unity, but instead religions appeared? Why only now humanity needs it again? Or is it just because of the differences in the development of egoistic desire?

Answer: In the time of Abraham, the crisis happened only in order to distinguish the group of Kabbalists, its construction, its breakdown, and its scattering among all of the peoples of the world.

Today the crisis has led humanity to the group of Abraham in order to use his method that is already written, organized, arranged, and ready for use by everyone on all levels from the most passive to the most active.

Question: All over the world, the middle class is rapidly and powerfully becoming more and more right-wing. The values of the middle class are the values of the good old days, which have long passed. They are not cosmopolitan, not open to the rest of the world, and their anger rapidly is moving toward hatred.

They see how billions of insufficiently budgeted funds are wasted in solving everyday problems, and how the unemployed are forced to “sit on the neck” of the nation. This is a trend that will not end well.

Answer: It will not end well; it means that it will end in fascism.

Fascism is control by the highest egoism, where only what is important is us as a nation in which everyone is united and equal from the highest to the lowest, even though, as a general rule, the highest is a dictator or his party. In this situation, the will of the people seemingly is carried out and becomes the motivating force.

Generally, this structure attracts people because it has no bureaucracy. There is no army of functionaries who “sit on the neck” of the people. There is no religion since fascism itself becomes a religion. It is a closed society within itself that works for its own sake. This is what everyone wants.

As a general rule, societies like these flare up egoistically, wanting to swallow everyone else.

They end badly because their structure is absolutely contrary to the goal of creation: to come to overall unity.

Question: What is impeding humanity from advancing directly toward the goal of creation?

Answer: It depends on the awareness of the people. Egoistic development only leads to fascism and national socialism, and consequently to the next world war.

The Kabbalists wrote about two options for the continued development of humanity: either an external war or an internal war within man and society where we are reborn internally under the influence of external forces.

No one can predict in advance how this will go.

Most importantly is that people who are involved with the correction of egoism draw what is called Ohr Makif (Surrounding Light) into our world. This is a force that opens humanity positively. So, if we can insert a sufficient amount of the influence of the Light into the world, the world will avoid war and will continue on in a good direction.

In the News (Independent): “A leading artificial intelligence (AI) expert believes that societies may have to consider issuing a basic income to all citizens, in order to combat the threat to jobs posed by increased automation in the workplace. …

“Dr Moshe Vardi, a computer science professor at Rice University in Texas, believes that a basic income may be needed in the future as advances in automation and AI put human workers out of jobs. …

“In Dr Vardi’s view, governments and societies around the world may have to consider a ‘basic income guarantee’ – a system in which all citizens or residents of a country receive an unconditional sum of money, in addition to any income they bring in elsewhere. …

“If technology-induced mass employment does become a reality in the future, a basic income may be one of the solutions. Governments around the world will be keeping a close eye on the experiments in northern Europe to see just how feasible the concept is.”

My Comment: Capitalists themselves will begin speaking socialist slogans because life will obligate them. So gradually a whole system of relationships based on the unity of all in one system will be implemented. After all, fighting would be to our own peril!

And the money will not be worth anything; everything is going to be reset when when everything that is beyond the basic necessities loses its value. Beyond the necessities will be discovered only the possibility of discovering and fulfilling the soul.

In the News (worldcrisis.ru): “There is a very interesting innovation in the structure of the electorate on both sides of the Atlantic: the youth do not vote the same as the older generation. A significant difference in the electoral preferences are now determined not so much by the level of income and education, or gender differences, but by how many voters belonging to a particular generation.

“There are good reasons for the emergence of this difference. The old and the young generations of today live differently. Their past is also different, as well as prospects for the future.

“For example, when the Cold War ended, many young voters were not yet born, and others were children. Some words, such as “socialism,” no longer have the values that they once did. If socialism means a society in which collective problems are not ignored, and where people care about other people and the environment in which they live, then what’s the problem with it? Yes, perhaps a quarter of a century or half a century ago, unsuccessful experiments were conducted under the rubric of socialism; but today’s experiments have no similarity to those of the past. In other words, the failure of the experiments of the past does not allow drawing conclusions about the new attempts….

“Today, the expectations of young people, regardless of their level of income, are directly opposite. Throughout his life, he looks forward to a lack of job security. …

“Today’s college graduates are burdened with debt – and the poorer they are, the more they owe. …

“Often these college loans are hanging over them 20 years or even more. Buying a home for them is a distant dream. …

“The feeling of social injustice (the feeling that the game in the economy is fraudulent) increases, since young people see bankers who caused the financial crisis (the reason for the continuing illness of the economy) are fired with mega bonuses. And almost no one bore responsibility for their misdeeds. They committed massive fraud, but for some reason did not. Political elites promised that ‘reform’ would bring unprecedented prosperity. And they brought it, but only one percent of the population, the richest. All others, including young people, are in an unprecedentedly unstable position.

“These three realities – social injustice of unprecedented scale, massive inequality and loss of confidence in elites – define our political moment, and deservedly so.”

My Comment: Only a drastic restructuring of society on the basis of a general obligation will be able to fix the existing situation. And this is only possible after the preliminary spreading of nationwide public education.

Educating the people instead of stupefying it through the media is the necessary condition for our survival. Therefore, Kabbalah specifically teaches about this action, and the goal of the work of its students must be this!

Question: In Orlando, there was a massive terrorist attack. A young Muslim of Afghan origin shot fifty people in a gay night club, making it the deadliest mass shooting in the US. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack.

Answer: Most people in our society lack a sense of love of others, including of gay people. The only question is how society determines its attitude toward those who are different and whether this attitude is determined by the laws of society according to the level of its tolerance or whether it stems from understanding this phenomenon. On the other hand, there is religious intolerance.

In principle, Islam in this respect has never been too fierce. These phenomena have been part of humanity since the beginning of time, but Islam today has become so militant, narrow-minded, and fanatic that it does not tolerate any deviations, no matter how people may interpret them. This is especially true when there is a desire to conquer, oppress, or exhibit, and elevate one’s ideology. Therefore, we are yet to see many such incidences, and no one can do anything about it.

I went to America recently, a year after my previous visit, and I am amazed each time by the rapid growth of the Muslim population there. They feel at home, that they own the place, and they put pressure on others openly, and not taking anything into account.

In other words, they intentionally behave the way that they do and are not afraid of the police. They feel that the police seemingly will be on their side. And so the Americans behave very cautiously toward them and move quietly aside. Consequently, we are sure to see very rapid changes in every aspect of American society.

Question: What can you say from the perspective of the upper scenario?

Answer: The upper scenario is very simple. Islam must conquer the modern world, especially Europe and America, in order to grow very strong and rise against Israel.

Question: Must they conquer the entire world because of a tiny ball like Israel?!

Answer: They will be suffocated by Israel if they don’t conquer Europe and America, and together with them, fight against Israel. However, according to the upper scenario, they will be suffocated anyway afterward!

The question is whether we can act today so that they will be suffocated now in order to prevent more victims in Europe and in America so that there will not be great wars, violence, and the provocations that they are planning against the people in those continents.

In the News (Lenta.ru): “Chairman of the Council of Europe spoke about the EU’s ‘ghost decay’:

“‘More and more EU citizens feel a sense of Euro-skepticism or even Euro-pessimism.’ stated the head of the European Council Donald Tusk.

“‘The collapse of the specter is haunting Europe, and the idea of a federation does not seem to me the best answer to this’ – he said, speaking at a meeting of European People’s Party politicians in Luxembourg.

“Tusk also said that European policies have been absorbed by the idea of European integration and have not noticed that ordinary people do not share their enthusiasm.”

Answer: The one -sided union of the continent should not have started without the preparation and teaching of the people to unite above all the age-old dissensions and contradictions! But who listens to the Kabbalists!

And now comes a many-sided crash. The action of the script of Beito (in its time) triggered by the development from Above of the evil egoistic forces, without any easing of good altruistic force—because there is no one in Europe to bring it into the European community.

Question: According to a warning from a global humanitarian organization, more than a billion people will be threatened with flooding in 2060. The countries mentioned in the report were especially the USA, India, China, Bangladesh, and other countries, all which will be facing catastrophic flooding, turbulent flows, and extreme weather conditions. Will the Biblical flood reoccur?

Answer: I believe that the flood will occur much sooner. The land and sea will change gradually, and this change will lead to volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and flooding. Nature will not tolerate such egoistic creatures like man anymore. We are invoking and summoning the negative motion of nature by our attitude toward one another.

Question: According to the report, the poor will suffer most, while the rich have insurance policies and can move to other places and be saved.

Answer: The rich will not have this option in the future; natural disasters will affect everyone. What is more, the disruptions will not only be ecological, but the fall will also be in many areas such as business, world commerce, family relations, culture, and science. Our ego will turn into a cancerous growth that devours itself and will kill everything.

Question: Is that good or bad?

Answer: It is good when it is on a small scale and when humanity responds immediately, “Okay, we understand! We must change and to correct our conduct.” However, if it lasts for decades, it will become bad and people not be gaining insight or becoming more sensitive, but will show that they are unreceptive and stupid.

Question: Do we see that people understand what is happening to some extent?

Answer: They don’t understand anything. The wisdom of Kabbalah, which offers us the method of overcoming the crisis, is in a pen. Despite our great efforts to tell the world about it, we are faced with a wall of mistrust, rejection, and slander. Many rise against us, not knowing what we engage in at all. Thus, the egoism that is revealed internally leads them, and they obey it unconsciously, and this is not leading us in the right direction. I don’t want to seem immodest, but many years ago we predicted the current disasters and the flooding of Europe with immigrants. I am tired of talking about that. Nothing helps.

Question: But the Creator is good and benevolent.

Answer: He is good only if we are mutually connected to Him. Unfortunately, however, we are dominated only by the egoistic force that is opposite to Him. Therefore, we have no reason to expect anything good from Him, and there is no one to whom we can pray.

We must change ourselves! We must ask for only one thing from the bottom of our hearts: to unite. After all, the entire Torah is a system aimed only at love. As it is written, “I have created the evil inclination, I have created for it the Torah as a spice, for the Light in it reforms.” The Creator is the attribute of love and bestowal that we must develop and bring into our mutual relationships because the main law of nature is “you shall love your neighbor as yourself,” but no one engages in it in our world.

Kabbalists can cry out as much as they like. They try to implement the method of unity among them, but it isn’t easy to do so in a small group. If the entire nation of Israel engaged in it, things certainly would be different. The nation of Israel must do so and set an example for all of humanity, which is what the world demands from us.

In the News (vesti.ru): “The British humanitarian fund Christian Aid has compiled a list of major cities, the populations that will be most affected by the catastrophic floods and floods in the future. It turned out that because of climate change, by 2060 there will be one billion people at risk. Given the fact that about 10 billion people will be living on the planet at that time, by the rising of the level of the oceans every tenth person on Earth will suffer.

“The least fortunate will be China, India and the United States, the researchers said. …

“The governments’ priorities should be to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the transition from fossil fuels to low-carbon energy. Communities that could be affected the most, should think about better protecting their homes and sources of livelihood (such as agricultural fields). So, experts at Christian Aid familiar with this type of disaster… are offering to restore wetlands that can absorb excess water, to build dams and streams for a redistribution system during heavy rains and storms, and to move people from low-lying regions.

“Every dollar spent today on risk reduction and protection against natural disasters will in turn save an average family dollars, which then can be spent on the elimination of the consequences, experts predict. This means that by 2020 will have a 10-fold increase to the state budget.”

My Comment: As a result of human influence, the imbalance of nature will be revealed not just with flooding. There will be volcanic eruptions, storms, fires, extreme fluctuations of temperature, drought, epidemics, etc. All of this is the future we are creating for ourselves through the lack of balance between us.
