From the News (slate.fr): “Demographic projections on increasing global population projections have added developments of religious believing people. We can not say if the estimate of the volume of religious populations accurately describes those believers or those of people from a certain tradition. The rise of spirituality compensates the decline of certain dogmas. In other contexts, fundamentalist affirmation prevails. Nevertheless, the general outlook…sees very significant progress of Islam in the world… .

“Among the few sources for these prospective analyzes, the Pew Research Center…won. The Pew delivered last spring, a serious extensive study. The work is based on available data, around the world, on differential fertility and mortality, migration and even more complicated operations, conversions from one religion to another….

“… What might the religious distribution of the world be in 2050? Christians should remain the majority. Islam, in its diversity, should grow much faster than all other major religions. Over the period, the number of Muslims (1.2 billion) could grow by almost 75%, against 35% for Christians (750 million) and 34% for Hindus. By 2050, the number of Muslims (2.8 billion, 30% of humanity) would be roughly equivalent to that of Christians (2.9 billion, 31%). The inertia is strong, it is not until 2070 that the number of Muslims would exceed that of Christians.”

My Comment: Our observation in this world regarding the amount and “who will prevail over whom,” can be achieved only if the two sides are found on the same level. But if the levels are different, meaning one is at a higher level and has more power and connection, then it outweighs the quality of the larger number on the lower level. And this is because the higher level generates and nourishes the lower. So even though everything happens according to the script of “The Days of the Messiah,” the options of the this script are in our hands!

Opinion (Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy in the Reagan administration): “As far as I can tell, not only has democracy departed the Western world, but also compassion, empathy for others, morality, integrity, respect for truth, justice, faithfulness, and self-respect. Western civilization has become a hollow shell. There is nothing left but greed and coercion and the threat of coercion. …

“The Western World is on its last legs. Unemployment is horrendous for European and American youth—primarily for the educated. …

“The Wall Street Mentality—unlimited Greed—has taken over American life, and this greed has been exported to Europe, which had achieved a sharing relationship between labor and capital. Today Europe, like the US, is an opportunity wasteland for the young. Greece has been sacrificed for the private bankers, and Italy, Spain, and Portugal are waiting in the wings. In the place of independent European countries, a fascist centralized authority is rising.”

My Comment: Everything is going according to the Creator’s plan—to the recognition of the evil of our nature until we reach the sole desire the get rid of it, as the source of all evil, like a snake shedding its skin. The speed and ease of reaching this freedom depend only on our recognition that the egoism is the only evil component of humanity. This is exactly what the wisdom of Kabbalah is meant for, and through its method we can speed up the recognition of evil, of the attributes of receiving and hate, break free from them, and acquire the good, the attribute of love and bestowal.

From the News (psyfactor.org): “Human cancers are among the most severe pathology. And the severity of this depends not only on the degree of aggressiveness of the disease, but also the ability to successfully overcome the immunological barriers of the healthy body. Immunity can withstand the introduction and breeding of alien organisms (viruses, bacteria, single and multicellular organisms) because alien genotypes are easily recognized and the body destroys the invading aliens with antibodies.

“A cancerous cell has the same genotype as the healthy cells and at first the body practically does not react to cancer cells. The immune response is virtually absent, no rejection occurs as degeneration of the cancer cell is perceived as their own. But it is nonetheless different from normal cells:

1. Cancer cells lose their ability to specialization,… or the cells can no longer perform their normal functions.
2. At the same time, the cancer cells proliferate much more rapidly than healthy cells.
3. Cancer cells exposed to active migration through the lymphatic vessels. Thus, ahead of healthy cells in the rate of reproduction, they gradually form a tumor. Tumor cells do not perform functions of the body. The migration of cancer cells allows forming a tumor and other organs. With the active reproduction are, in turn, the conditions under which the cells rapidly die. The tumor breaks. The body is destroyed from within. The death of the biological system is imminent.

“The principles of construction and functioning of a nation is almost identical to any biological creation. The country as a living organism, is an evolutionarily formed border, implemented by the mutual exchange of products, information. But for all the progressive activity, the essential and vital factor is the preservation of its identity, i.e., territorial and, importantly, the functional integrity of the country. Without the ‘defense (immune) system,’ protection of a country is unsustainable.

” …humanism can be justified only to a certain extent – if humanity does not go beyond what is permitted, does not destroy the integrity of the current evolutionary system. Exaggerated, unjustified humanism, creates conditions that destroy the basic foundations of the State, should be qualified as a false ‘humanism’ unacceptable under any circumstances and a crime.

“Migration, as such, is estimated to be justified as an evolutionary fluctuation of nature. But when a small refreshing wave turns into a tsunami – a catastrophic situation. … Migrants without encountering a stiff ‘immune response’ are massively introduced into a system alien to them. The vast majority of migrants, as well as cancer cells, do not participate in the public system. Like cancer cells, they consume the products of the state. Like cancer cells, they multiply more actively. Like cancer cells, they also actively migrate to other regions. And finally, like cancer cells, they are fighting for their existence. Struggling for their existence, as individual evolutionarily developed populations with a special mentality, they strongly oppose integration.

“Being in an alien atmosphere,… they will not stop the struggle for the re-establishment of their native culture in the new territories. Recovery from cancer possible. But, unfortunately, only in the early stages. Leaders should stop immigration and deport the immigrants who have arrived, cutting out the tumor, continue therapy, and continue help for the undeveloped nations.

“Wishing good, we are not following the biological laws, often causing irreparable harm.”

My Comment: All systems: still, vegetative, animate, social, etc. are arranged according to one general rule, otherwise they cannot survive. So this makes it possible for us to test them on the basis of their similarity to each other.

When the European Union absorbs immigrants from opposite backgrounds, it doesn’t understand that even if the immigrants are friendly, they cannot get used to life in Europe; they will surely remain in their mentalities, will be opposed to anything that is alien, and will try to arrange the environment that is under their control. Here there is a program of European development…

Opinion (Irina Horeva, artist): “There are 1.5 million refugees in Germany and another several millions on the way. There is no doubt and it is a fact that this flow of immigrants is not spontaneous but well organized. Someone has decided to destroy the European civilization and to turn humanity into a mass that can be easily managed.

“The occupation of Europe had been planned for quite a while now. Organizing millions of people and putting them on the road is a costly business, which also takes time, but someone has invested in this process. Someone is responsible for the PR and for providing buses for these people on the Turkish border paying for their ticket on this journey. The cost of the journey from Iraq to Germany is 20,000 dollars per person. 7,000 passports are issued daily in Afghanistan. There are also people from Haiti in this mass, are they also escaping cruel Assad? Europe doesn’t know how to stop this flood.

“The UN representative are pressuring the European governments, saying that they mustn’t stop the illegal crossing of political borders because it is against human rights! Now the Europeans have fewer rights than the ‘refugees.’ The European governments don’t want to hear the voices of their own citizens and listen only to the opinion of the UN and of non-government organizations that have great weight in Europe. The media channels keep quiet regarding the current events. At the same time the ‘refugees’ continue the ethnic and religious conflicts in Europe too. The Europeans have been brainwashed for decades by the media and have been manipulated in different ways, which make them feel guilty and oblige them to be tolerant and show solidarity. The result is the phenomenon of ghettos: the Europeans are leaving their cities Paris, London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Munich and establishing communities in the suburbs and in villages.

“Once this mass gnaws Europe it will move eastwards towards Russia. The flow of ‘refugees’ is managed from the outside and is leading to a demographic disaster in Europe. Not all the Europeans are ready to accept this situation or to resist. One thing is clear: these people aren’t running away from a war, they are carrying it with them.”

My Comment: No one has mentioned who is organizing, paying for, and orchestrating all this. Although it doesn’t really matter, because in our world whoever is stronger, is just and has the right to do everything that he sees fit. Everyone will follow him without any other choice. This situation is what we all need in order to recognize our egoistic nature and to hate it, until we have the power to give it up.

Opinion (Anders Aslund, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council in Washington, DC ): “Europe’s response to the strategic challenges it is facing – Russian aggression in Ukraine, refugees fleeing violence in the Middle East, disorder in North Africa – leaves the impression that its leaders have no idea what to do. And indeed, they may not – a reality that needs to be acknowledged, not papered over.

“Simply put, the European Union’s stagnant economy is conditioning its response to the external pressures it confronts; internal crisis has left EU leaders little room for maneuver. Fortunately, Europe has the means to address this crisis, if it can summon the wisdom and the political will.

“The origins of the EU’s problems lie in its response to the 2008 global financial crisis: two years of large-scale fiscal stimulus. While this did little for growth, it resulted in crippling public debt. Seven years later, EU output per person is no higher than it was at the start of the crisis. Meanwhile, average public debt has soared to 87% of GDP, leaving little space for policy flexibility or innovation….

“Little has changed since Italian economists Alberto Alesina and Francesco Giavazzi noted, nearly a decade ago, that, ‘Without serious, deep, and comprehensive reforms, Europe will inexorably decline, both economically and politically.. They warned that, ‘Absent profound change, in 20 or 30 years the share of Europe [in world output] will be significantly lower than it is today, and, perhaps more important, its political influence will be much trimmed.’

“Indeed, a World Bank report on European growth in 2012 summed up the situation as follows: ‘Aging Europeans are being squeezed between innovative Americans and efficient Asians.’ …

“The EU will continue to flounder until it recognizes its mistakes and begins to carry out the reforms its economy needs. Only by putting the continent firmly back on the path of growth will Europe’s leaders be able to address the external challenges they now confront.”

My Comment: The solution to the crisis is not in the implementation of “comprehensive reforms,” but only in a transition to another type of society, to unite, like nature, which provides us with an example of its union and universal dependence. We are in a system of natural forces and cannot discount this.

The growing differences in our strife-torn society causes a strong contrast of humanity from nature in general, from the system in which we exist. This difference, which is due to the influence of forces on us that are returning us to resembling nature and balance, is felt by us as suffering.

Question: Why do we want to exploit each other and are willing to trample on others just so it will be better for us?

Answer: Because otherwise we don’t feel that we use the world. Only through exploiting others can we succeed; this is our egoistic nature.

To succeed otherwise, where we help others, is the nature of the upper world, a higher level, the upper dimension. We are not able to do this because we act only within our evil nature, from egoistic desire. As it is written: “I created the Evil Inclination”; this is what is in us.

Question: All my life I was taught that we all use each other, and so it is worthwhile to learn to behave like this. And now you ask me to completely over turn all my prior education. How can I manage to do this if this is completely illogical?

Answer: It is not illogical, but try to learn without changing anything in your life. Just study! And suddenly you will discover that you open a door to a whole new world that doesn’t work according to the principle of reception, but according to the law of bestowal.

Then you suddenly reveal unlimited power and possibilities. After all, by exploiting others a person is always limited because each wants to exploit the others. But when we work with everyone in mutual bestowal, we are unlimited.

And then we go out into space called Olam Ein Sof, the world of infinity, a perfect and eternal world, because nobody steals and nobody takes from the other, but on the contrary, complements the deficiencies of others.

This is an absolutely different form than material existence; it is spiritual material. This is called spiritual, but in fact this is our substance and we can attain this, then life is revealed in front of us in its perfection.

From the News (Reuters): “The attacks on Paris brought Islamic State’s brutality home to the Western world. Before last week, reports of the group’s atrocities were shocking but easier to dismiss, happening far beyond European borders. The world expressed outrage but largely stood by as the group pushed out recruitment propaganda depicting sex slavery and the brutal torture and murder of its captives. These incidents are horrific, but they overshadow a more insidious, long-term threat: Islamic State’s kinder, gentler side.

“Thousands of peace-loving people live in Islamic State-occupied areas and are fed a steady stream of positive propaganda: Islamic State members feeding the poor, and hosting ice cream socials, carnivals, and tug-of-war contests. Islamic State is trying — and in some areas, succeeding — in winning hearts and minds. Left unchecked, its public support will grow, making the group more difficult to defeat in the long run and giving it the space it needs to conduct future attacks like those in Paris and Beirut.

“Charlie Winter, of the counter-extremism think tank Quilliam, performed a month-long study of Islamic State propaganda. Winter discovered that — contrary to what we see in Western media — over half of Islamic State propaganda shows people going about everyday activities in a peaceful and normal manner.

“In many ways, the group serves as a functioning government in the areas it controls, offering services once provided by the Syrian and Iraqi regimes. It collects taxes, picks up trash, runs schools, issues marriage licenses, provides security, and even employs former government bureaucrats to make sure everything runs smoothly. In Syria’s Deir ez-Zor province, Islamic State has issued regulations to protect natural resources and the environment, suggesting that the group is settled in for the long run. Some Syrian citizens under Islamic State control claim that the group’s efforts have helped return some sense of normalcy to their lives, a welcome reprieve from the grueling civil war.

“One resident of an Islamic State-controlled city told Time magazine that he originally opposed Islamic State, but changed his mind after it paid for his brother’s wedding, provided him with fuel, and helped fix his neighbour’s house. Islamic State also carefully controls what those under its control can read and hear: outside media and anti-Islamic State messages are forbidden. This is terrifying. Given enough time, this captive audience could eventually determine that Islamic State’s harsh system of rule is worth the veneer of peace and normality, and grow to support the group. This is classic Stockholm Syndrome, but on a much wider and far more devastating scale.

“There is precedent for such a transformation. In the 1990s, the Taliban gained considerable public support by establishing law and order in a chaotic Afghanistan. Groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah used charitable acts and social welfare programs to transform themselves from violent fringe groups into political entities with support from wide swaths of the population. Both groups have devoted significant time and resources to social welfare wings, which support schools, libraries, medical clinics, orphanages, food aid, and sports leagues. By 2006, Hamas had enough support to win a decisive victory in Palestine’s parliamentary election. By 2008, Hezbollah had gained control of over a third of Lebanon’s cabinet seats.

“It is frightening to imagine that Islamic State could eventually follow this trajectory. Although Islamic State rejects democracy, if it continues to rally public support through works of charity and governance, it could become entrenched in society and be that much harder to defeat. Even the group’s draconian treatment of women may not be enough to stymie public support. For example, women in Afghanistan once enjoyed considerably more freedom than they do today — they wore modern clothes, attended university, and worked in professional settings. The Taliban put a stop to this, but much of the public was willing to see women’s rights decreased in exchange for less violence. History is poised to repeat itself in Syria.

“The international coalition against Islamic State invests significant resources to counter the group’s negative propaganda, but not enough attention is paid to debunking the group’s positive messages. Now is the time to address this problem. In just a couple of years, it may be too late.”

My Comment:I think that without a doubt, evil will win if it is not exposed as a means for control, not over life, but over a person’s soul. For Daesh wants souls, faith, obedience to Islam throughout the world, in exchange for which Daesh is ready to provide people with all the comforts of life.

And the need to decide is created here; what is important in the life of a person and which way will humanity go, selling itself for food like a beast, or raising the importance of the spirit above animal comforts.

From the News (Newsweek): “What does it take to communicate? If you’re on a crowded train platform, shouting to your friend 20 yards away, it might take simplification. Imagine trying to say ‘unequivocally.’ It probably wouldn’t work out. Any words with lots of consonants and complicated syllables would likely get garbled, swallowed up by the noise around you, blocked by the throng of bodies and kiosks and other objects in your way. So you keep it simple. A plain, old ‘yeah’ is probably going to reach her ears better.

“Now imagine extrapolating these constraints of acoustics to the whole human population, roaming the entire earth. Picture societies developing in myriad ecological habitats. At the same time, they’re evolving their own distinct languages. As it turns out, the characteristics of languages have a lot to do with the environment—specifically the climate and topography—they emerged in, according to new research… .

“People from cultures that originated in hot, tree-covered regions now tend to speak languages with fewer consonants and simpler syllables in part because, according to the researchers, both hot air and vegetation make transmission of higher frequency sounds (like those made with consonants) less reliable. According to Ian Maddieson, a linguist at the University of New Mexico and the study’s primary researcher, this is a major reason that languages spoken by people in tropical areas use many more vowels and simpler syllable structures than their counterparts in more open, colder places. Vowels transmit at lower frequencies, and simpler syllable structures are less likely to be garbled by having trees in their way.

“Rough terrain, like mountains and cliffs, have a similar effect on language as vegetation. People in these regions also speak with simpler syllables and more vowels. Wind and rain appear to play roles in shaping human languages in different areas as well, Maddieson says. All these ecological factors account for about a quarter of the variation in how consonant-dominant a language turns out to be.

“…They found that the average annual precipitation, average annual temperature, vegetation density and ‘rugosity’ (or mountainousness) of a region, as well as its elevation, all correlated to characteristics of that region’s language. The particular acoustics of environments, they concluded, account for a lot of how differences in human languages developed.

“Maddieson says these findings suggest that the acoustic adaptation hypothesis, which has mostly been applied to describe birds, can be applied to humans too. Since the 1970s, researchers have observed that birdsong appears to depend heavily on the ecological habitat each particular species calls home. ‘The highest notes and the range of notes are lower in forested kinds of environments compared to open environments in birdsong,’ Maddieson says. Birds evolved their communication, then, according to acoustic factors similar to the ones Maddieson’s team studied in relation to humans. But unlike birds, humans are one species, which Maddieson says makes this use of the hypothesis particularly compelling.

“’Now, within a single species of bird, they’re finding that the birds that live in cities with a background noise of cars, etcetera, are singing in higher pitch notes than birds that live in rural areas,’ he says. ‘The birds are adapting to the traffic noise. This is really more what we’re talking about with humans. The same species adapting to their environment.’

“Could humans who live in urban areas, then, be currently morphing their rural-born language to better suit those conditions?

“’Over time, I would expect that to evolve. But we haven’t been living probably long enough yet in noisy urban environments yet,’ Maddieson says. ‘But come back in a few more years, and you might see that, yes.’”

My Comment: All of nature is mutually connected in one single system where everything is aligned according to general rules of mutual connection. The goal of nature is to bring all of the parts within it to mutual and full cooperation in which the single force of nature is revealed and everything is filled with the characteristic of unity, the Creator. The main law of nature is balance and harmony; therefore, the full influence of all the characteristics and all the parts of nature on everything is inevitable. This is the law of the integral, linked world.

Question: After the events in Paris, a real hysteria started in Europe. Two Air France flights headed from the United States to Paris were diverted  because of terrorism threats, fears of terrorist bombing caused the canceling of a soccer match between Germany and Holland, which the Chancellor of Germany was to attend.

In Paris, ceaseless gunfire exchanges occurred, Russia bombed Syria, and Brussels was paralyzed from fear of terrorist attacks in the city center. Will it continue this way?

Answer: Nothing will change! The world is moving forward according to the system to increasing convergence. If the convergence is organized correctly with good mutual cooperation between people, then it will be good.

It needs to be accompanied by positive participation with the system of unity and connection, not through our egosim which causes clashes between us.

We only need to learn how to bring people closer so that they will rise above their egoism without fighting among themselves because that won’t help! The previous generation fought, this generation fights, and the next generation will fight!

Question: What solution would you suggest to resolve this conflict?

Answer: In my rosiest dreams, I would like to see the UN, the G8, G20, and other organizations and forums force Israel to unite and, in this way, attract the entire world after it to a complete unification!

Nothing else is needed. There is no need to blame the Jews for being the reason for what is bad in the world, but there is a need to force them to unite so that they will become the reason for the entire world to unite.

Even if the nation of Israel would just begin to listen to us a little, then the entire world would immediately feel relief, and the terrorists would stop killing! That is the answer to your question. I see the general system, and that is the way it is structured.

You want everything to change for the better, then put the force of good into it. It will come only through connection and unity between the Jews!

From the News (fondsk.ru/news): “Since Lenin gave as one of the hallmarks of the contemporary stage of the development of capitalism, the dominance of capital export over the export of goods, a hundred years have passed. All this time the trend continued. The export of capital was carried out from the developed capitalist countries to the periphery of world capitalism. At the beginning of the twentieth century – in the colonies and semi-colonies, in the past decade – from the area of ​​the ‘golden billion’ in the so-called developing countries, which are adjacent to the ‘economies in transition’ or the former socialist.

“The export of capital to the ‘periphery’ can solve the problem of the relative over-accumulation in economically developed countries and maintain a satisfactory rate of return. A country’s ‘golden billion,’ obtained by the export of capital investment income (dividends and interest), turned into a rentier state.

“The first wave of economic and financial globalization (the ‘internationalization of economic life’) swept the world in the early twentieth century. It was an unprecedented build-up of the export of capital from a small group of … states (the UK, France, Belgium, Germany, USA, Holland, and two or three other countries) to the colonies, semi-colonies and dependent countries, including Russia.

“The second wave of economic and financial globalization …  started in the 80-90s of the twentieth century. … Today the second globalization has ended, and the pressure ‘in the pot’ of world capitalism is growing rapidly. The important feature of this – at first the slow down and then the stoppage of the movement of capital out of the zone of the ‘golden billion’ to the periphery, and even a reversal of capital flow in the opposite direction. …

“The globalization process has been completed. Capital has mastered the entire planet. There is a leveling of profitability and investments. Against the background of the growing over-investment of capital in the world, this yield tends to zero. Interest rates in some countries of the ‘golden billion’ fell to zero and even went to negative. Something similar already took place in the early twentieth century. … the resulting explosion, … received the name of the Great War …”

My Comment: For what happened in the first half of the 20^th century not to recur, there is only one way out, to halt the mutual capitalistic relationships, replace them with mutual spiritual relationships and ascend to the next level of development, and what will remain will be only the supply of material necessities and maximum spiritual growth.
