Question: The “Islamic State” terrorist organization has developed an application for kids for Android smart phones. This software enables children to learn the Arabic alphabet, but in a special way. The letter “Dal,” for example, corresponds to the word “Dbaba (tank),” “Saad” corresponds to “Sruch (missile),” “Meim” to “Midfa (cannon),” and so on. What can such a method lead to?

Answer: It will turn the children into soldiers. Any tyranny wants to recruit children to its army, so it is all very clear.

Of course, I feel sorry for these children. I doubt whether they will grow up to be normal members of society because their mental condition is affected by such methods.

Children need affection. They need to learn to cooperate, to sing and dance together, they need care, and they need to play. This approach should continue until the age of nine, and from the age of nine until 13, they gradually need to learn about life, but the study shouldn’t be based on hatred since it may harm a child’s psychology.

Education cannot be based on hatred because it is against the main law of nature that is aimed only at unity and love. We see how it is revealed more and more in the world today between all of the parts of creation. By wanting to separate and to divide nations and states, we go against nature, and therefore first and foremost, we suffer from this.

Question: How will this be echoed back?

Answer: It is already echoing.

There are two billion, if not more, supporters of Islam today all over the world. What happens to them? Are they happy? Do they have a normal state? Do they have a well-established system of mutual help? Everything is distorted, corrupted, and destroyed because today’s Islam is not the original Islam but rather a movement that demands sacrifices. And this is what they are prepared for.

Comment: The Labor representative of Pakistan origin Sadiq Khan won the election for mayor of London with  57% of the votes compared to 43% of the votes that his Conservative rival Zac Goldsmith received. Now all the papers say that a chain of Moslem mayors is expected in Europe.

Answer: According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, Islam will conquer Europe both by terror and by governance. Eventually all of Europe will be conquered even gradually in a democratic way. One man crosses the border and makes his way to the continent and lives in a slum and after a while rises to power, like Sadiq Khan. The Creator’s plans are implemented in an absolutely perfect way and there is no way we can escape them. Europe will become Muslim.

Comment: It is important to note that Sadiq Khan speaks nicely and claims that he is a democrat and that London is the capital of the world where all the races and nations live together.

Answer: Of course, since according to the Islamic belief, it should become the world religion and everyone should gather under the green flag, which means being loyal to the prophet Mohamed.

Question: Does this mean that you believe that Sadiq Khan also holds this belief?

Answer: Without a doubt. This is what the Muslims want and this is what they will achieve. It is clearly expressed throughout their history. After all, Islam supports the strengthening of the family and is against alcohol and drug consumption, etc. It is a religion that offers a stable way of life that appeals to many, especially in such an unstable time in Europe.

Question: What does that mean with regard to Israel?

Answer: Soon we will not be able to fly to Europe because the attitude toward Israelis will be very unfriendly, like in Nazi Germany. Tourists may be robbed and kidnapped as hostages and even killed.

We have to come to our senses and realize that we are creating these problems, that we have elected the mayor of London; it is actually us, the Jews here in Israel and not somewhere else. We have to establish a new society here that is based on integral education, a society in which everyone is mutually connected not under any special flag but under the flag of mutual love relations.

Unless we understand that our mission is to be Light unto the nations of the world, things will be very bad and we will receive blows. The blows will, of course, eventually help and will force us to unite, but the question is why it should be after so much suffering.

Comment: According to Professor Danny Helmut Neiburg, an expert in the relationship between hormones and intelligence, the results of his studies regarding the decline in fertility of the local European population in contrast to the wave of immigrants who have a lower IQ indicate that this will turn the Europeans into a minority and the IQ level will drop to such a level that it will threaten the flourishing democracy and Western civilization.

Answer: I have no doubt about it, since it stems from the effect the environment has on man. These physiological and spiritual genes spread in the air and affect people.

The intellectual level of the population eventually affects the individual and his level of intelligence.

These are the laws of nature: the mass is powerful and so is the individual. If the mass agrees the individual can raise it and lead it, but if he cannot do so, the mass pressures him and obliges him to act.

Therefore the wave of uneducated masses that is flooding Europe will undoubtedly lower the intellectual level of the continent and it will no longer be Europe but will resemble the Islamic states in the Middle East.

Comment: Professor Neiburg believes that there are three possible solutions: first, submission and obedience; second, sending the refugees back to their countries, and third, a civil war. He believes that there are greater chances that there will be a civil war.

Answer: I believe that there will be such confrontations that will turn into civil war. Someone will have to surrender and to obey someone. I don’t think that the Europeans will be able to simply give in. They will have to find a common language and together will declare war on Israel.

I cannot say whether it will happen in our days, but I believe it will happen quite soon.

The only way out is if Israel gives the world the power of unity, from which no one can escape so that everyone will surrender to it and will start communicating with each other and with us.

Then we will begin to build the future society based on mutual unity of mankind. If the nation of Israel regains its composure and fulfills its goal, the whole world will follow it.

Comment: In one of the last interviews the BBC conducted with psychiatrist Carl Jung, he said: “We need more understanding of human nature, because the only danger that exists is man himself — he is the great danger, and we are pitifully unaware of it. We know nothing of man — far too little..”

Answer: The human psyche – is the source of all that awaits us in the future. I am sure that just as we shifted from mechanical to electronic machines in the past and from electronic to computerized machines, now is the time to gradually shift from computerized systems to three-dimensional technologies and instruments and we will gradually discover that this is not what we should engage in at all.

All this is external and crude, while we have to engage in our system, in the internal human being that is inside us.

Inside us are all the secrets of nature. The world is attained and depicted in a person.

We also see this in numerous studies that have been conducted especially on astronauts. There is a great amount of data regarding the changes in a man’s psyche while in space, when returning to earth, etc., which have no scientific basis.

But more reliable data is gradually accumulating about how a person’s hearing and sight totally change when the conditions a person is in change. He can see a sandbox in which kids play from a distance of 300 kilometers, and he can suddenly hear what his friends who are next to him think. So we have to study man who contains all the secrets of nature.

Advancing toward the lower levels of nature—animate, vegetative, and inanimate—is an unnatural direction in the evolution of science. Science has to develop higher! And above man there is only his soul. This is what a person attains by himself. It is actually from his mentality, from his psychology, that he can find the way to the next level.

The wisdom of Kabbalah is the highest psychology. It tells us which levels of attainment man is made of and which levels of attainment in him still have to develop, and it tells us exactly how to ascend through these levels, from the feeling of this world, which we see and build inside us, to the feeling of the upper world, which we also have to build inside us. This is the whole problem.

It has nothing to do with wars. Playing with weapons, tanks, and planes are just kids’ games. We have to put an end to that because humanity needs to aspire to something more intelligent and more important.

I still hope that there will be a breakthrough in the right direction and that we will stop thinking about a third world war. Wars don’t solve anything anyway, just as crises don’t.

So let’s engage in the most sublime matter we can, in the human soul.

New Life #569 – Israeli Society: Hatred Of The Rich
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

Society changes according to the development of the human ego. Once the rich were respected, after that they hated them. The hatred of the rich is often led by educated people among the upper ten percent. In Israel, the situation is unique because we haven’t lived together as a single society for the past two thousand years. We haven’t gone through the entire process in Israel that Europeans have gone through, for example, with all of their revolutions and changes.

The social phenomena that are occurring in Israel have not been typical for the Jewish people at all. In the Diaspora, the Jews supported each other, helped each other, didn’t steal and lie to one another.

In this country, we are passing rapidly through processes that have happened in Western nations over hundreds of years. Economic disparities will only worsen until we begin to re-educate ourselves toward connection. Education for connection among the general public will radiate new values even among the rich on top.

The nature of education for connection will permeate the entire nation since all of us are connected in a linked network. Only education for connection will initiate a real revolution, a standard forceful revolution will not be beneficial in any way.

Today, the public feels that the rich are stealing from them and exploiting them, so they hate them. As a result of education for connection, the wealthy will themselves want to contribute more to society as a whole.

Through the tendency to connect, the public will recognize a new benefit, a new fulfillment—the discovery of the upper force, a new life. This is not just a fulfillment through the clothing of wealth, property, or honor; this is fulfillment through Light.

To gain this exalted fulfillment, fulfillment through Light, a person must be connected correctly to others. Hatred of the wealthy will stop only when they work together with the poor to build a united society.

Question: In 2011, a Norwegian named Anders Breivik killed 77 people and explained that he did this to shake up Norwegian society so that it would think about its purity of blood. Anders received a sentence of 21 years imprisonment. He served five years in a cell with three rooms: an office, a bedroom and a gym.

During his imprisonment, he was accepted to the University of Oslo and received the best food in prison. Later, he filed a lawsuit against the state, saying that he was sitting in inhuman conditions, for example, they were serving him cold coffee and his game console was old. However, his main complaint was that they didn’t allow his admirers to visit him, and they didn’t create a nationalist party.

Anders won the trial. The court ruled that, according to the third article of the European Convention on Human Rights, his claims were justified. Therefore, they paid $40,000 for his legal costs. The verdict doesn’t make any sense.

Answer: Today, the world is run according to general rules and laws that are difficult to understand.

The case described is one of the distortions of the modern world. The laws of the Torah don’t have the concept of “prison.” A person must be free. If he is a danger to society, he must be killed. Death is his correction. According to the precise maintenance of natural law, a person who knowingly kills another person and can repeat his act must be sentenced to death.

Question: Will this come back on us like a boomerang?

Answer: No, humanity hasn’t learned anything from this. The idea is not about correcting the law, but about reaching a state in which our attitude toward all of our development—our attitude toward our nature, the world and life—is determined.

When we stand against the need to uproot the source of the evil in human nature but don’t know how to do that, then the realization comes that there is a wisdom that is engaged with this that makes it possible to transcend human nature.

It is only then that people will understand that the wisdom of Kabbalah speaks precisely about this, whereas today, they are not hearing it.

There are many people like Anders Breivik. So, prisons will continue to be filled with criminals, and nothing can be done about it. A nation that leads its people according to the democratic method of government must pay the price for it. The Norwegians are showing the entire world the boundlessness of human stupidity.

Question: The world is approaching robotization (the replacement of people by robots) more and more. In Japan, for example, robots have begun to replace farmers, and toward the end of 2016, they are planning to build a completely robotic farm. It is interesting to see that a Japanese literature competition held recently finished with a novel that was written by a robot. So, gradually, robots are replacing people.

Answer: It is possible to replace people in everything, except spiritual work.

A point in the heart is within each one of us. This is a spiritual point, a connection with the Creator, or our resemblance to Him. This point in the heart cannot be created artificially because this attribute is given to a living person, a biological entity, and we cannot transfer and implant this in a robot.

So, we should not worry about the loss of work that robots will carry out.

We must do what people must do: develop this point of divinity within us to the point of full resemblance and equivalence to the Creator. The resemblance that is developed in us is what is called Adam (Man). Everything else is a body on the animate level, not on the level of Adam. Robots were created only to push us toward this work.

Question: What does “becoming like the Creator” mean?

Answer: Becoming like the Creator is developing the internal and hidden desire within us that attracts us toward oneness, friendship, mutual help, and connection to the mutual merging of everyone into one single image called Adam, from the word “Domeh” (similar to the Creator). It is up to every person, all of humanity, to reach this state.

We can do this. For this, there are unique forces in nature. The wisdom of Kabbalah speaks about this, and helps in discovering and using them so that we will become like the Creator.

The future of humanity is a society in which all of the physical work will be carried out by robots and machines, while people will be involved with spiritual work. This is the human level.

Comment: The American President Barack Obama said in a speech before British youth that everything is changing so fast in the world that one is tempted to form his own consciousness, like a member of a tribe who feels confident and secure in the face of many changes. But he believes that the youth should resist this temptation.

The President referred to immigrants from Africa, the Middle East, Northern Ireland, and Burma, which he believes should be received with empathy. The President emphasized that he doesn’t accept people who wish to feel superior by dividing the world into them and us. It turns out that Obama is calling for unity.

Answer: That’s true but only under the domination of the US. Since how else is it possible? Someone has to manage the parade! From Obama’s perspective ,it is the US of course.

The commanders of the parade will be those who lead and manage the settlement in the US, which are not those who founded America. The founding fathers were British, Irish, and Germans who laid the proper foundations of the country, and Obama wants to change all that.

There is something to hide, after all, according to his view, the US should become an Islamic state. He came in order to change it, so at least at the end of his presidency, the gates of the country would be wide open for active extremist Arab population to settle there.

Question: If we speak about the upper force that guides the hearts of ministers and kings, what is the goal of the upper force in leading Obama in this specific manner?

Answer: The goal of the upper force is to show us that we will not be able to survive by relying on a philosophy of the world, whether religious, Anglo-Saxon, Asian, Afro-American, or Muslim. We will succeed only if we begin to unite above all the philosophies, above everything that divides us.

Thus, in America, the Muslim population is being injected, in order to create a great controversy within the American society, and then from the inability to continue this development, it will have to come to the conclusion that people have no other choice but to join.

Question: You often say that nothing will succeed unless people reach a dead end. Can we try to come out of the situation we are in by using our brains?

Answer: Of course not. See what happens in humanity! Can it attain anything by using the human brain?

There is only one way out of the impasse, and if that doesn’t help, a great explosion will follow, like the detonation of nuclear weapons, which is certainly possible. Then no one will be able to stop it, starting a chain reaction.

Fear restrains us up to a certain point, but then the mind ceases to operate and common sense disappears. Those who will survive will undergo great sufferings and as a result will understand that they have rebuild humanity according to a different principle, above our nature using our nature only as a springboard. This is where it will all end.

I hope that we will be strong enough to listen to what Kabbalists say. We will not grow wise by ourselves since we don’t have the brains it takes in our current condition. We should listen to Kabbalists who have attained the plan of creation to its end. They have already undergone it personally and so they advise us not to make mistakes but to follow their footsteps carefully, gradually changing our nature in the likeness of the Creator and attain the upper world here, in this world, in this life.

Opinion (TheGuardian): “All is calm. All is still. Share prices are going up. Oil prices are rising. China has stabilised. The eurozone is over the worst. After a panicky start to 2016, investors have decided that things aren’t so bad after all. …

“Fears of a $20 oil price have receded. Prices have stopped falling in the eurozone. Employment growth has continued in the US. The International Monetary Fund is forecasting growth in the global economy of just over 3% this year – nothing spectacular, but not a disaster either.

“Don’t be fooled. China’s growth is the result of a surge in investment and the strongest credit growth in almost two years. There has been a return to a model that burdened the country with excess manufacturing capacity, a property bubble and a rising number of non-performing loans. The economy has been stabilised, but at a cost.

“The upward trend in oil prices also looks brittle. The fundamentals of the market – supply continues to exceed demand – have not changed.

“Then there’s the US. Here there are two problems – one glaringly apparent, the other lurking in the shadows. The overt weakness is that real incomes continue to be squeezed, despite the fall in unemployment.

“For a while, consumer spending was kept going because rock-bottom interest rates allowed auto dealers to offer tempting terms to those of limited means wanting to buy a new car or truck. In an echo of the subprime real estate crisis, vehicle sales are now falling. …

“Europe’s big problem, over and above the fact that the euro was a disastrously flawed concept, is that the banking system is not fit for purpose. As the IMF noted last week, a third of eurozone banks have no prospect of being profitable without urgent and meaningful reform. That requires two things: to reduce the number of banks and to do something about the €900bn (£715bn) of bad loans sitting on their books at the end of 2014. …

“Central banks, of course, swear blind that they are fully in control and that there is nothing to worry about. Perhaps not, but something doesn’t smell right. The fact that economists at Deutsche Bank published a helpful cut-out-and-keep guide to helicopter money last week is a straw in the wind.

“As the Deutsche research makes clear, the most basic variant of helicopter money involves a central bank creating money so that it can be handed to the finance ministry to spend on tax cuts or higher public spending. There are two differences with QE. The cash goes directly to firms and individuals rather than being channeled through banks, and there is no intention of the central bank ever getting it back.”

My Comment: The world is obliged to change its complete format because the economy expresses not only economic connections, but all the connections of humanity that are calculated with money, the universal parallel of the connections between us.

If the system ceases to operate, we must replace it, otherwise there will be a collapse! But how to change the system that is built on our nature, on egoism, and win? There is only one way: to change our nature from egoistic to altruistic! And that is how we reach the victory of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Question: Following the earthquake in Ecuador, the government imposed a tax upon all the citizens that is designed to cover the damages amounting to three billion dollars. The citizens of the nation who possess capital of more than a million dollars will be required to pay the nation nearly 1% of their assets.

Citizens with income of a thousand dollars per month will pay one day’s wages, someone who earns two thousand dollars a month will pay two days’ wages, and so on. In practice, the president of the country has imposed a kind dues.

How do you relate to equality like this?

Answer: There is no doubt that the nation needs help to recover after such a powerful earthquake. But they have to deal with it. They chose the right method because everyone was harmed.

South America is a unique area; the immigrant spirit and the spirit of the Indians are still felt there; they are characterized by a feeling of unity. They relate to each other with great feeling, with understanding, wholeheartedly, because they are not completely damaged by egoism and the modern world.

I think that this will help them. When a problem arises and you begin to take care of it seriously, then you don’t immerse yourself in those illnesses in which the whole world is immersed, but are involved in curing the illness.

So they will rebuild and it will be good for them. The implication of the terrible earthquake is that it will bring them a better future. It will strengthen and unite them.
