Militants Are On Their Way Toward The European Union

Dr. Michael LaitmanIn the News (pravda.ru): “Analysts are scratching their heads over the phenomenon of a mass influx of refugees into the EU. Points of view on the causes of this humanitarian catastrophe are many. Bulgarian journalist, blogger Plamen Paskov broadcast Pravda.Ru outlined his views on the matter. The expert believes that the ‘Syrian refugees’ – are an organized operation for the transfer of militants in the EU.

“Something terrible is now happening to the map of Europe. …

“…they are officially called the Syrian refugees…at least 80to 90 percent are not Syrians. …

“These ‘Syrian refugees’ – came mainly from approximately 25 countries.

“But all the media continue to persistently and unanimously dutifully call them Syrian refugees to arouse sympathy and compassion, a desire to help, to absorb, to adopt them. …

“These refuge are not refugees, but militants – the Trojan horse of an invading army.

“First of all, these people are Sunni Muslims. Second, 90% of them are men, even though in Islam it is not customary to abandon the family. Third, 90% of them are aged 35 and under. Does it follow that young, healthy and strong men are fleeing and abandoning their families? …

“Most of them have expensive mobile telephones. Occasionally photographs and videos come out in which they are clothed in uniforms and holding weapons. These are people with combat experience. And now they are entering Europe under the guise of wretchedness and misery.

“All of these people left their documents in their countries and entered through the borders of the European Union without documents. Just about all of them are passing through Turkey, which is a police state where law and order are maintained rigidly. Their route passes by way of the capital, Ankara, not by way of the Bosphorus or Anatolia, where it is impossible for them just to cross that way, especially in such immense streams like these.

“This means that with the help of the police and border guards, Turkey is helping this process which is sending them in groups to Europe. According to information from Syrian intelligence, America is gathering these warriors from 82 nations and preparing them in camps in Libya so that they will be readied combatants.

“From the camps of the true refugees, Turkey is choosing only the Muslims that they require. In no place are there Christians, even though in Turkey alone there are more than two million Christian refugees. It is not clear what happened to the 2.5 million Christians, but none of them are found in Europe.

“They only want to go to Germany, which clearly indicates that this is organized and managed.

“All of the ‘refugees’ paid for their appearance in Bulgaria, no less than 3,000 Euros, and they have close to 12,000 dollars or Euros in their pockets. These are not poor people fleeing from the horrors of war, who are being generously funded.

“Into Christian Europe is flowing an immense crowd of Sunni Muslims, Salafis and Wahhabis. Christians, Alawis, Shiites or other branches of Islam are not coming.

“Why are they not asking for refuge in Jordan, in Saudi Arabia, which are nations that are appropriate for them culturally, ethnically and religiously? No! They need Europe. This is only the beginning; they are preparing the place for the conquering army – ISIS.”

My Comment: Conspiracy? A plan for the destruction of the European Union or Europe in general? We see this as an implementation of the program of the Creator, the dominance of Islam in the end of days of our egoistic world, as was predicted in our sources. After that, the period of change will begin and everything that was written thousands of years ago will begin to materialize in order and on time.

On The Threshold Of A Third Intifada – Part 2 “Unity As A Defense Against Calamity”

laitman_936In the Talmud it is written that “All calamities come to the world only for the sake of the people of Israel” (Yevamot 63a), to force us to realize our freedom of choice, to choose the good way and to draw the whole world after us.

This is because we must be a “Light to the nations” (Isaiah 42:6), but according to our behavior today, we are not bringing any Light and are not considered the people of Israel at all. Israel are those who maintain the general rule, “And you shall love your friend as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18)

Comment: But our people try to behave most humanely!

Answer: We are within a system of the laws of nature, and we must clarify precisely what we need to do to be compatible with them. The wisdom of Kabbalah is the wisdom of the world and “God” is “Nature”; therefore, we must examine nature and understand exactly what is required from us, and not just try.

It is necessary to examine precisely: have we conformed to the requirements that are imposed upon us or not? We must achieve unity between us, the general rule “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If we achieve this, then we solve our problems.

In the book Maor VeShemesh, it is written that “The essential defense against all calamities is love and unity. As long as love, unity and friendship dwells within Israel, no troubles can dominate it, and all the evil defamations and suffering move away from them.”

Question: How is it possible that due to our unity we protect ourselves from trouble?

Answer: The idea is that our world is “round,” closed. All of the parts of nature: still, vegetative, and animate, and humanity are connected together in a single system that is revealed from generation to generation as a network of strict connections.

Our success is determined by our degree of accommodation to this system, and all of our problems can be explained as a lack of accommodation to it. Today we find ourselves in a world in which no leader understands according to which laws the world operates and how it is necessary to manage it to attain some kind of success.

A number of decades ago, in the time of Churchill and Truman, there was nothing like this. So it was still possible to manage the world through aggressive authoritarian systems like Stalin.

Today a method like this won’t work anymore; what will work is only the same “identical” attitude towards the world, as all of it is itself. This is because the general network has been revealed, and in this situation nothing will help if the people of Israel who have the method of association don’t bring the entire world to unification.

A circle is association. We are discovering that all of us are connected with each other, whether we want this or not. We are living in an integral, global world that is mutually connected. There is nothing to be done about this connection except to unite and connect people; this is the main thing.

This secret, which is the foundation of the wisdom of Kabbalah, is the possession of the people of Israel. It makes it possible to connect and unify people; without it nobody will succeed in doing this, and through this connection and consolidation, all problems are solved. Therefore it is written, “All calamities come into the world only for the sake of the people of Israel” to show us that we have not yet united and haven’t brought the entire world to the long-awaited unification.

On The Threshold Of A Third Intifada – Part 1 “What Will Happen?”

laitman_293Question: News comes about a new attack [in Israel] almost every two hours. I ask a simple question: What will happen?

Answer: What will happen? This is what we need to ask ourselves. I am afraid of being misunderstood, but we ourselves are the ones who determine what will happen with us. There are no other people in the world other than the people of Israel who possess freedom of choice and can change the future of the world, the direction of its development. It is written about this in The Book of Zohar and other books.

So we see how the world is rising up against us. It would seem that after many decades of the existence of the nation of Israel, the inclinations about it should have calmed down. But we haven’t succeeded in attaining a peaceful life.

And it is not only in Israel, but also in the whole world; anti-Semitism is increasing more and more. You will not see in the world news channels reports about the attacks on the Jews.  But if an Arab is killed, that is all over the news. And the United Nations also refuses to conduct discussions about the waves of terrorism that have been raised in Israel. But if Israel takes retaliatory measures , the United Nations immediately issues a protest petition.

We see that the world will not stop hating us for no reason. As much as we try to be humane, we always find ourselves in the crosshairs. The world identifies with and expresses sympathy for our neighbors, and this will go on forever. So what is the way out?

It is necessary to open the books of Kabbalah and read what is written; there we discover that we can change this situation in the entire world and in our nation. We are the only ones with freedom of choice. It is up to us to be happy that we don’t depend on anyone, but on the contrary, everything depends on us.

In The Book of Zohar it is written that in the future the children of Ishmael will ignite tremendous wars in the world. This speaks about the last period before the end of correction, a period that began after the end of the Second World War. And it will continue like this if the children of Israel, the descendants of Abraham, will not change this situation.

“Everyone Has A ‘Microbial Cloud'”

laitman_550In the News (BBC):  “Everyone is surrounded by a unique “cloud” of millions of their own bacteria, according to scientists at the University of Oregon in the US.

“Walk through someone else’s cloud, and it will ‘rain’ bacteria on your skin and be breathed into your lungs.

The study on 11 people, published in the journal PeerJ, showed it was possible to identify people from their microbial miasma.

“One microbiologist said the findings were simply ‘gross’.

“Studies have already shown that our microbiome – the collection of bacteria, viruses and fungi that live on our skin and in our bodies – outnumbers our own cells 10-to-one.

“These can be spread through direct contact, airborne emissions and shed skin cells in dust. …

“One of the researchers, Dr James Meadow, said: ‘We expected that we would be able to detect the human microbiome in the air around a person, but we were surprised to find that we could identify most of the occupants just by sampling their microbial cloud.’

 

“He [Dr Ben Neuman, a microbiologist from the University of Reading] said the ‘gross’ findings ‘make sense’ in light of the growing understanding of the microbiome and showed that by exchanging bacteria we ‘are changing each other all the time’. …

My Comment: We are all totally interconnected, not only between us but with all continuous space. This connection enables us to imagine continuous and infinite strings that connect all the elements of creation into one whole. The bacteria are only a minor external form of our complete unity.

Planetary Tsunami

Dr. Michael LaitmanAny Disaster is Israel’s Misdoing

Question: Some people are happy that Europe is now overwhelmed with Muslim refugees. They think that Europe deserves it. What is your attitude toward it?

Answer: One shouldn’t gloat other’s afflictions. Besides, any troubles will eventually be turned against us.

It somehow happens that any suffering in this world is blamed on us and only us, and the same will inevitably apply to the current refugee crisis. Only we will be blamed for it. Africans, Asians and Europeans will approach us and say, “You are guilty of causing our disasters. This is how we feel.”

Current world events are just a preparation to attack Israel. It doesn’t matter where events take place and who is involved in them. A storm of disasters, a sense of bitterness, despair, and helplessness are around the corner. They will hit us very soon unless we prepare a remedy against the disease.

Cards on the Table

Kabbalists warn us that we have to be ahead of the upcoming paroxysm. We must notify humanity, lay our cards on the table, and together turn into one man with one heart.

There is no alternative; it comes from nature, the upper force. And there is a methodology that can improve our relationship that exists with nature. It is called the science of unity, the wisdom of Kabbalah. We should implement it in life and take advantage of it to everybody’s benefit.

The whole of humanity is one family, descendants of ancient Babylonians. Let’s act together, otherwise things will get worse while we continue gobbling each other up.

It’s impossible to do nothing and just watch others suffer. We have to take responsibility, if only because there is no chance for us to avoid it.

The overall interdependence is obvious today. We can’t get rid of our common nature, even if we were to attempt to hide somewhere on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean. Very soon, the waves of a devastating tsunami would hit the entire planet.

Welcome to Africa?

In addition, we don’t take into account potential natural disasters and financial catastrophes. And yet, they can affect the entire world and leave us all in the position of living in standards lower than the current Third World countries.

Today, the Third World countries are at least entitled to ask for help and get some assistance from other countries. However, global economic collapse might devalue all monies and there would be no one to turn to.

A family that huddles in a hut together with a goat and a tiny piece of land will somehow survive, but what will a European do without a job and source of income? It is even worse poverty, since westerners will be incapable of anything.

It is written: “I created the evil inclination and the Torah as a spice.”  In the end, planetary tsunamis such as we see today will rid us of the old world, “the evil inclination,” so that we start using “the spice” as the means of correction, thus moving to a new, happier world.

Once Again Everyone Will Become A Single People

Dr. Michael LaitmanIn the News (cont.ws):  “This revolution, many researchers call a demographic catastrophe, as the European region stopped the reproduction of its population. By 2050, excluding immigration, instead of the current 728 million, the European continent will number 600 million. That is equivalent to the loss of the population living today in Germany, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland combined. The last time such a significant reduction in the population was observed in Europe was only during the plague years 1347-1352. …

“Naturally, this leads to the inability of the EU to maintain the integrity of the existing social structure: the labor force will soon be too small, which already puts into question the very preservation of the social security system. While the many generations who were born in the demographic boom after World War II are still working in Europe, when they retire, the system will change radically. …

“The most important condition to prevent it is a constant and growing influx of immigrants. …

“As a result of these processes in the countries of Europe, there is a deep ethnocultural restructuring, in which it is increasingly becoming like a ‘melting pot’ (the concept of total blending of nations and races …). Europeans are being replaced by other ethnic groups, which are mixed with each other, and are forming a ‘nation of immigrants’ or ‘new nomads.'”

My Comment: All this is completely compatible with the trend of all matter merging into a single whole, into the image of Adam (Man), as described in the wisdom of Kabbalah.

A Dangerous Delay In Preventing Evil

Dr. Michael LaitmanThe Seed Of Our Fault

Question: It is clear that no European countries are capable of coping with the current refugee crisis.  Do you think that a joint solution to the problem can be found?

Answer: There is no solution! Europeans will seek a way out, but they won’t find it. The nature of the problem and the peculiarities of the European mentality will reverse the situation against us and they will blame Israel for their problems.  

We have already dealt with this kind of claim. They even blamed us for the tsunami in Japan, not to mention the tragedy of the Twin Towers or the creation of ISIS. Some believe that the Jews wish evil things to occur in the world and that disasters and natural catastrophes are the handiwork of Jews. 

But there is a seed of justness in their accusations. Of course, we don’t cause the evil, but neither do we prevent it. There is a cardinal difference between their traditional accusations and the current claims. The difference is that we really are capable of preventing hardships by immediately explaining the wisdom of Kabbalah to everybody, but we are already lagging behind in this work.

Kabbalah is, in essence, a science of unity. With its help, humanity will unite. When it unites, it will rid itself of all troubles. So, their claims really contain the seed of our fault. It turns out that their allegations of our fault contain a seed of truth.

Do Not Procrastinate Until the Last Moment

Question: How can an ordinary person arrive at the conclusion that we need a qualitatively different solution, not a habitual one? How can common Israelis understand that the solution really depends on them?

Answer: Among other things, the conclusion should result from our work with them. Above everything, we have to explain to the Jewish people what their purpose is and why we bear the name Israel – “Yashar-El” (directly to the upper), and why we are called Jews – “Yehudim” that originates from the word ”Yihud” – unity.

We should decipher the notion of the word “upper.” What is the upper force, the one, the only, the unique? It is a force toward which we should seek to be like after we attain unity.

Our people have the responsibility of bringing the entire world to global unity and love in accordance with the principle of “love thy neighbor as thyself.” All these principles have to be explained to the people of Israel and to other peoples of the world.

Of course, we have to take into consideration the inertia of thinking, that it takes time for this message to be accepted, understood, and experienced. We must start acting now! Otherwise we’ll get to the point when other nations will demand an answer from us, but it will be too late to explain, as they won’t perceive a thing!

That’s why in his article, “Messiah’s Shofar,”  Baal HaSulam writes that the revelation of the wisdom of Kabbalah to wide masses is a mandatory condition of Israel’s deliverance.

“German Mayor Blames Israel For Syrian Refugee Crisis”

Dr. Michaell LaitmanIn the News (Jerusalem Post): “The Social Democratic mayor of Jena, Albrecht Schröter, on Friday accused Israel of partial responsibility for the Syrian refugee crisis and called on Germany’s foreign minister to ‘show less restraint’ toward the Jewish state. …

Schröter told the Thüringische Landeszeitung newspaper, in connection to the Syrian refugee crisis: ‘The US policy of hostility toward Islam bears its fruits.’ He called on his party and its Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier ‘to change the role of Germany in the Middle East conflict. Germany must break with restraint toward Israel as an occupying state.’ …

“The otherwise obscure mayor in Jena, a university town with nearly 110,000 residents, caused controversy in 2012 when he urged a sweeping boycott of Israeli products. He joined the anti-Israel Pax Christi Catholic aid organization in a petition calling for goods from Israel to be boycotted. Kevin Zdiara, the then–deputy representative of the German-Israel Friendship Society in Erfurt, the capital of Thuringia state, where Jena is located, said Schröter’s action recalled the Nazi slogan: ‘Don’t buy from Jews!’

“The Post sent a press query to Schröter seeking a comment.

“In 2012, Schröter said, ‘I firmly reject the malicious accusation of anti-Semitism  against me.'”

My Comment: There is no doubt that all problems, from small to great, will be directed towards Israel and the Jews for one reason: The world situation depends on our unification into a single whole, and the method of unification of the world is the wisdom of Kabbalah. The people of Israel mastered this wisdom more than 3,500 years ago. So the moment that it is bad for the world, they instinctively blame the Jews. And to correct this is possible only through using the method of unity, beginning amongst the Jews themselves and after that, spreading to all the nations of the world.

The World Economy: On The Threshold Of Drastic Changes

Laitman_182_02Question: How will the transition from previous material values to new ones influence the world economy?

Answer: I think that in the present situation, the economy will gradually exhaust itself. Moreover, it is not the economy itself but the attitude of people toward it. Today we view the changing world and life and become more passive.

Therefore, the economy of unbridled consumption will become an economy of providing for one’s personal existence. Humanity will stop running after big materialistic attainments and wealth.

I see how great masses of people are becoming more and more passive. We see this in Russia and in America. In Russia they agree with the policy of a relaxed existence on private land; in America they agree with the more socialist policies with the national health insurance plan and all the rest. That is, we have reached a state in which after transition to a new stage of rational development will prevail. We understand that nothing from the past, not wealth, nor respect, nor knowledge, nor art and not even religion (because there are no religions today, it is all just the politics of control) can bring us anywhere. What remains is only attainment of the meaning of life, because humanity has already gone through everything else.

And so certainly the economy will change. It will be sustained, develop, and transform externally just because we must fill our body (the level of the beast), meaning normally feed and dress everyone. Whereas, everything that is expanding today in all directions like a soap bubble will exhaust itself and disappear because we are bringing the world to a state of crisis.

Question: So, the economy will burst like a soap bubble?

Answer: It will shrink because it is superfluous! Either it will be replaced by a world war or the isolation of people. If we avoid war somehow, the indifference of people toward anything new will gradually obligate the economy to fold. We see what is happening today, nobody needs the vast Chinese and Japanese manufacturing technology anymore. Everything will gradually fold, and people will lose interest in consumption.

And this is a natural process of development of internal human desires that are moving from material consumption toward something new. We have already experienced the rise of interest in science and culture; they don’t fill us with anything now, they don’t give meaning to life. And without that, all that remains is drugs or war and other extreme decisions, or an exit to a new level, a new level of existence. That is, it is necessary to give people the possibility of seeing that there truly is an exit; it exists.

Ultimately an inner demand for this will appear because it is developing from within; a person will begin to ask: “What is the meaning of my existence? If there is no meaning, it is unfortunate that I was born….”

A Sharp Turning Point In History

Laitman_006We live in a rapidly changing world in which a wave of tsunamis, earthquakes, ecological disasters, extreme heat, refugee migration are moving through it.

Today hundreds of thousands of refugees from the Middle East are closing in on Europe, and tomorrow there will be an earthquake somewhere in India and waves of millions of people will surge towards the north from there.

We see that the situation can change very rapidly. Previously it seemed to us that the migration of a mass of people from place to place like this requires long and careful planning. And suddenly we have become witness to how tens and hundreds of thousands of people are rising like a tsunami wave coming from the ocean towards the beach.

Our world is changing before our eyes. We are found within an intensely powerful stream, a stream that drags all of humanity after it and draws it further and further downward relative to the former standard of living that existed, but along with this it is building and giving birth to some kind of new level.

As a result, we are feeling how we are falling into an abyss and the whole world that we are used to is being demolished, the previous life destroyed. However, with this, a new life is being born.

It is necessary to uncover these two trends to understand by what means this drama of the century can be expressed: The destruction and death of the old world and the birth within it of the new world.

That is what always happens in nature and it cannot be otherwise. As long as the previous generation hasn’t died, the new generation will not be born. That is how the seasons also change. There are some who consider what is happening to be death but I see new life. Let’s not think about what was and has died, but about the new that is about to be born.

Humanity is now in the process of labor; this is how it is emerging from the birth canal, through the narrowest passage that is crushing us from all directions. Labor is pushing us from behind and drawing us from the front, obligating us to move incessantly. We are present for the birth of a new level, a new state of humanity.

Through the course of history there were many critical and difficult periods that were really periods of birth. So I look at the future with hope and happiness, even though this is terribly difficult. The new world will not be born as long as half of the old world hasn’t died. We see that inanimate nature is destroyed, various kinds of animals and plants are becoming extinct, and people are dying.

It is not known what will happen to us in conditions of extreme climatic changes and disasters. But this is making the birth of a new kind of life possible.

We are leaving the old era, the old generation, the entire history through which humanity has passed, and we are being born into a new world. So we feel pressure, labor; we are losing all the knowledge that we have gathered, the taste, the culture, the education, the traditions. Even science will be renewed. Humanity apparently will be reborn, all material will seem new.

Love, the system of relationships of couples and the relations between parents and children, everything will be changed beyond recognition. We don’t know towards what kind of world we are heading, but it is possible to guess and predict what kind of a world it will be: How will families look in the future; will we want to give birth to children; will the children remain at home or will they live completely differently?

How will we perceive the world; what atmosphere will there be in society; what kind of culture, education, system of relationships, standards of beauty, what songs? Everything is experiencing a real revolution.

It is still impossible to imagine precisely the picture of the future world, but we can be sure that the world will change completely and it is not in our power to stop this.

The change is derived from nature and draws us into itself, without asking for our permission. The new world must soon be born, so let’s help ourselves to be born in the new world; effort can be made to break out.
