A New Flood

laitman_746_02In the News (m.ria.ru): “The natural disasters we encounter indicate that the world is on the verge of an era of unstable climate. As a result of the slowing down of the revolution of the earth, 1-2 seconds have been added to a 24-hour period in the last few years.

“This is actually the main reason for the disruption of the earth’s energetic balance, of this enormous electric machine. The earth is on the verge of the first phase of a global transition process. The weakening of the earth’s magnetic field has already been observed at the beginning of the 20th century and the stable decline in the frequency of its revolution has been observed at the beginning of the 90’s. The decline in the velocity of the earth’s revolution by one second per year creates an enormous emission of thermal energy.

“The solar system together with the earth moves in the galaxy in elliptical spiral orbits. The big time step equals 200 million years and the small step equals 26,000 years, half a cycle, 130 hundred years matches the date of the last global flood (11,100 BC).

“The first phase is short and active. A fast braking of the earth is taking place resulting in the emission of great amounts of heat which leads to global warming. During the second phase, the magnetic field is stabilized and the earth gradually increases the frequency of its revolution, which leads to its cooling: the icebergs will be restored and the ocean will reach its previous level. The energetic balance of the earth will be stabilized during the third phase.

“After the last global flood there was a massive wave of immigration from the east to the west, while now the immigration is about to be eastwards.”

My Comment: We must restore the balance between us and become one united society, which will balance all of the earth’s parameters because the energy of civilized society is above all the other systems. It is in our power to regulate and manage the force of unity above personal egoism.

Laitman_727Who Is The First?

Question: If the financial and economic union of the European Union for the sake of profit showed failure in meeting its obligations, what is the essence of the right union?

Answer: It is the creation of a single family. Then, we feel ourselves as people living on a small planet, in a small village that must be organized in such a form to align the standards of living and ensure the optimal standards of living for everyone.

This is because, today, the population of the Western world is essentially living luxuriously as compared to the majority who are suffering from poverty and hunger. So. let’s take care of our “ball.”

Question: If we truly want to feel ourselves as one family, will we receive the power of connection that is latent in nature?

Answer: Yes, and so the time has arrived for explaining to all people where we are living, in what kind of system, in what conditions, and under the action of which laws. We desperately need education, a program of integral education, a learning bench for humanity, until it washes its conservative and rigid consciousness and becomes permeated with a new approach, for everyone is suffering. All of us are sometimes on the threshold of despair. Hatred is increasing, the institution of the family is collapsing, and we are deteriorating without knowing where.

All of this must be explained, chewed for people, and they must be given a solution, a new direction that will make it possible for them to be saved.

Question: Is there at least one nation in Europe today that is capable of achieving the emotional intensity great enough to want to be a single family? In my opinion, the Europeans are very far from this.

Answer: Right, but on the other hand, it is specifically this that makes it possible to explain the current situation to them in comparison to that state that the law of nature demands. In spite of it all, it is bringing them closer against their will and pushing them toward connection.

So, the gap between the present differences and the required union will bring war if they continue to oppose the process of the interests of nature. Gradually, we will begin to push them to an understanding of the hopelessness of the current situation in light of which they must still change in spite of it all.

Question: In general, in what place on the face of the Earth is it easiest to awaken people so that they will want to become a single family and would summon the unifying force of nature?

Answer: According to the order of the correction of the world, first of all, we, the people of Israel, must go through this examination, and this will influence the entire world. If we begin to build priorities in this direction, then we will become an example for everyone, and no one will be able to ignore this, shut their eyes and remain indifferent, not a single nation and not a single person.

If we neglect the changes toward the direction of union, then this message will penetrate everywhere. The headlines of the news media will cry out. After all, the Jewish people are always the target, always the center of world attention, and so, through the right example, we will do the work. I have no doubt that Israel must be the first to embark on this path.

Today, they hate us specifically because subconsciously they feel that we are evaders and avoiders, and are not showing the right example. Ultimately, all of the negative processes are designed to awaken us to connection and union.

A New Form Of Daily Life For Humanity

laitman_547_01Opinion: (Zygmunt Bauman talking with Vincenzo de la Salle. The full text was published in the book: Twenty Ways to Fix the World: Interviews with the World’s Foremost Thinkers): “Unlike our ancestors, we have no perception regarding the destination towards which we are going. This should be a model of a global society, global economy, global politics and a global legal system.

“Instead of this, we have responded to the difficulties that have recently sprung up by conducting experiments and walking around in the dark. The skeleton, upon which all of history relied and was seemingly stable, has been torn to pieces and no institution is prepared to gather them together. We are found in an unsystematic global economic vise that is supported by unsystematic global politics.

“The present forms of lack of control are derived from a lack of ability to hold onto our way of life, bringing the impoverishment of natural resources and the erosion of the conditions for existence. The situation portends the beginning of wars over the redistribution of the lacking resources.

“It is possible to prevent disaster only if a new formula for mutual human existence is found and applied, which is not based upon economic growth. The present formula is protected by the dominant superpowers. If nothing will be done, masses of people will be annihilated, and not due to ideology as it was with their ancestors. The reason for this will be the necessary resources for survival.

“Global politics is the new covenant of the government, which is not in itself a goal, but a means for achieving goals. The thought, development and implementation of global political arrangements is a task which should be carried out so that all the ills of humanity will be healed. This is the necessary condition for their healing.

“The task is an extreme change in lifestyle on a personal and social level. The changes will lead to a rejection of the formula for solving the problems of the consumer and a search for happiness. ‘Changes in the present mutual lifestyle, which are presently reminiscent of a social factory of competition and rivalry, will become a factory for solidarity and mutual trust.’

“The restoration of responsibility of the individual and the community – this must be the fundamental principle of human connection, the main measure of humanity. This is imperative if we are interested in the changes bringing a cure for the social ills which are the foundation of our present and future problems.”

My Comment: Researchers are already aware that there is a need for fundamental changes in society. But this requires general agreement to implement changes that are based upon the correction of human nature. Humanity has had no experience like that.

All the above is reflected in the Torah, and the program for action is described in the wisdom of Kabbalah. Can we recognize the necessity of realizing this program before a world war breaks out, or after it?

What Can We Expect Of The Z Generation?

laitman_547_06Opinion (Yevgeny Novitsky): “The formation of the new American generation called the Z generation is coming to an end. These are 14-19 year-old youth who will replace the millennium generation that was born in the years 1980-2000. They don’t control advanced technologies but consume it. They are far from the laws of mechanics, physics and chemistry.

“The breach between the inventors and the users can be the main attribute that distinguishes that Z generation. The inventors will gain money and control while the users will be under the complete domination of their genius peers both socially and economically.

“Most members of the new generation have never had to cope with hunger or homelessness and they cannot solve the simplest problems. They lack the life experience one accumulates as he goes through different trials. The Z generation will grow up to be sensitive and pessimistic. Many will not be able to become independent by themselves.

“The Z members generation have no interest in history and their inability to see the link between the past and the present, to analyze things and to draw conclusions is actually scary. They perceive the concept of equality as superior to any other American value. The reason is the brainwashing in schools and colleges that the democratic party is responsible for.

“It will be easier for the government to manipulate the Z generation in America and there are technologies that are actually like drugs for them.

“The Z generation live ‘on a cloud’ at any age as a result of the coercive mass culture. They prefer true stories instead of stories about robots, vampires, zombies, superheroes and other imaginary characters.

“The most disturbing fact is that they have no goal in life and that they lack the enthusiasm and the drive to know the world. They want a leader who will pull them after him.

“It is impossible to excite today’s children. Television, the computer, video games and social networks are all starting to gradually bore them. At the same time this generation doesn’t show great interest in drugs, alcohol and smoking like the millennium generation.”

My Comment: We will soon find out that it is actually this generation that will raise the world to its upper source, to the next dimension, and it is the way it is because it wasn’t born for our world of the past!

Egoistic Pulp

Question: Today, there are internal conflicts that are tearing Europe apart. How can we prevent the growth of hatred between the different sectors when we are working on union?

Answer: Integral Education will tangibly show people that there is no other way out. They are entering into a program possessing a global character to begin with, which clearly determines the future horizon—the union of the whole world.

After all, it is inevitable; the laws of nature obligate us to this. From year to year our development approaches general union more and more, in spite of the bloody attempts to stop this process, which in spite of it all is strict and continuous, no matter how much we may deny it.

What is the reason to struggle against the laws of a system that produced and developed us? I can shout at the top of my lungs that I don’t agree with it, but will this help me? The laws of nature are many times stronger than political movements, including the most extreme of them. As of today, these laws are deployed in two ways before us:

– World war using the most up to date means of mass destruction, which will be a death sentence for Europe.

– Salvation by means of balance with nature, which reveals itself as global, integral, unified, coherent, and balanced. This means that human society, and the Europeans in particular, must also achieve this.

So let’s begin. This is the choice of Europe and humanity.

Question: We are truly powerless against the laws of nature. I may disagree strongly with the aging of the body, but the body will age in spite of it all. What is the law that operates at the level of human development in general? And how does it come to be expressed today in the European Union?

Answer: According to this law, all of us will “roll” into cohesion, union, and oneness.

This is like a mixture of various fruits in a blender. At first it is still possible to distinguish between them, yet the blades continue to spin and the differences gradually disappear until a uniform “fruit pulp” is created.

And so it is possible to reach this union in a good, wonderful way, without wars, disasters and terrible spins in the “historical blender.” The general trend is that there is only one culture, the knowledge of which we are carrying. So let’s conduct connection workshops in families, in workplaces, in schools, in prisons, everywhere. Let’s teach people to connect. And since modern separation has already gone as far as it will go, let’s insert a component of requiring this common program.

However, it is important to work gradually here. Start with small groups, after that larger groups, cities, regions… gradually, every people will make an arrangement for themselves, and after that, the nations will also be able to find a common language in the context of international connection—European and global.

That is how the process operates, from small to large. Gradually we gather experience, build the required mechanisms and systems, organizing educators, teachers, guides, trainers, instructors, and other experts.

After all, in any case, nature will transform us into “pulp.” Until now this happened under very unpleasant pressure from its side, through wars, disasters, epidemics, and the like. At present, we can integrate ourselves within the general “pulp,” aware of the situation and direction of inevitable development.

Question: What is the technology for preparing this friendly “pulp” from individualists and egoists?

Answer: Education, explanation, presentation of the facts testifying that there is no other way.

Question: But what will connect between people? What will be the glue between them? After all, the blender just cuts up the ingredients.

Answer: We produce the power that connects between us through the efforts themselves, our efforts in consolidation. This force is also latent in nature; this is a global force. One only needs to activate it.

If we begin to build balance between us, taking steps towards union, then we awaken and produce the natural force of union. This force is integrated into the system; it is found in inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature, but we awaken it on our level so that it will operate among us, within us.

Question: Basically, what is this force of union?

Answer: What is it that connects the parts of the whole? What welds the parts of matter with one another? What is the force of gravity that attracts objects towards the center of the earth? We discover it according to what it does.

That is also how the power of union, the “human force of gravity” works, when we truly yearn to be consolidated. Then it will help us.

We sit together, not even with any particular desire, and we begin to converse, to discuss the ways of reaching union; we begin to do something together in this way and then gradually we truly connect, enter into a welding between us, understand more, feel each other more.

Question: Why doesn’t this force help the European Union unite?

Answer: It is because from the start the European Union didn’t place before itself the right goal. In fact, its goal was a banking and industrial union for the sake of profit.

But we are talking about a completely different kind of profit—educational, human profit, the advantage of having a single heart with the universal nature that is absolutely completely integral. Its uniting force doesn’t act by itself in every case; rather it acts only according to our efforts, intentions and goals.

Specifically we human beings are capable of activating it. Along with this, we don’t have the power of union, but we have only the power of separation . Nature is welded and whole, yet human society is in contrast to that: We reject and hate each other; we are not interested in reaching balance. This is human nature and it is up to us to correct it. We correct it by means of the first steps in consolidation that awaken the power of union, and it will take care of us and give us the ability to truly connect.

Humanity Is Becoming Less And Less Intelligent

laitman_543_01In the News (news.bcm.ru):  “In a study that was done recently, it seems that there is a limit to the development of intelligence and understanding in a person, after which it gradually decreases, so that humanity is becoming more and more stupid. This is reflected in a decline in the measurement of IQ in the world from year to year.

“The study detailed the reasons for this:

  1. The intellectual level of a person is limited by some kind of genetic barrier, humanity has already reached this, and now it is found in withdrawal.
  2. Smart people are less active regarding reproduction than the stupid.
  3. Women who have received good intelligence reproduce less than women who are not intellectually developed, and in this way the ‘smart’ genes are gradually disappearing.
  4. The law of natural selection has stopped working, people don’t need to struggle about survival, progress has released humanity from the need to adapt the brain to obtain nourishment, clothing and shelter from animals and enemies.
  5. People have begun to vacation frequently. Two weeks of idleness by the sea in luxurious idleness is capable of lowering the IQ by 20 points, because of partial degeneration of brain cells in the frontal lobes. Numerous holidays worsen the situation because these are additional vacations.”

My Comment: Egoism as the basis and and the force of our development has reached its “earthly” maximum; it has stopped providing us with positive results. The reason for this is that according to the plan of creation, we need to begin to correct it, to build our next level of development not within it but above it, meaning in contrast to it. In this manner, we will use it only negatively, to rise above it with good actions for others, and not for it.  And we receive the power to do this from the Upper Light, the Surrounding Light (Ohr Makif).

The need for such development will reveal our egoism to us; it will show us the suffering that it brings, which will force us to rise above it. Work above egoism is called spirituality, rising above it is called going to the Upper World; the method for adaptation to this development is called the wisdom of Kabbalah. This is where we have arrived!

A Disastrous Direction for Europe

Question: Meanwhile, the European conflicts only become sharper. How is it possible to move the process onto the right track for union?

Answer: The problem is that when the aspiration for union is accompanied by competitiveness and hatred, it leads to chauvinism.

Good trends towards the consolidation of people by being mixed with rivalry and xenophobia have been made more difficult through political games, producing Nazism. And in modern language, this is right-wing extremism, extremist union for the sake of the annihilation of everything that is “not with us,” “not like us.” Instead of educating people and providing information for them, they want to annihilate them.

And without a doubt, everything is advancing towards this.

In order to change the direction, we must conduct Integral Education in Europe. We must explain to people that the present direction will ultimately bring them to World War III, which for this continent will be an immense disaster, for the more that nations are developed, they are more “delicate,” “fragile,” and weak. For example, the difference that would result from disconnecting electricity or disconnecting the water supply in Africa and in Europe would be awesome.

Today we are dependent upon a multitude of factors that are most essential for our lives. Moreover, in order to put them on the threshold of survival, we don’t have to cause physical damage to these systems or others at all; it is enough to disrupt the operation of the computers that manage them.

Question: So how is it possible to halt the deterioration towards war?

Answer: This would be only through the dissemination of the method of Integral Education. It is this which is specifically accommodated to the union of the modern world.

This method says that the center doesn’t need to promote the interests of one nation or faction but the common interests of co-existence. We must stretch connections between people and really connect them, and not just for show.

It is possible to begin by talking about small, separate, and localized initiatives in any country or society. But in general, union must become the province of everyone. And if in the framework of the correction of the entire world, the Jewish people in Israel will provide a good example, then everyone will accept it.

Let’s go back to Europe where competition and hatred undermine union. The time has come to explain to the Europeans that the world is “round” and mutually connected, that it is impossible to correct one thing without the other. And this means that all of our efforts must be long-range and directed towards helping the entire world, towards concern for humanity as a whole, until the entire Earth will become one united family.

It is already clear to everyone today that the world is integral and is becoming a single global “village.” And this means that all the inhabitants of this village must live in balance and harmony with each other. How? Let’s begin with our European nations where the problem of conflicts and quarrels has already become quite tangible.

The problem is derived from a continuing and gathering lack of balance. So let’s begin by introducing the method of balance into communities and cities, provinces and cantons. Each country will receive the mechanism appropriate for its “balance,” and after that, these European examples will be used by us in other continents as well.

That every nation will reach balance on the basis of its national outlook is normal. In any case, the integration process will continue with an international standard. This also cannot be otherwise in a world in which everyone depends upon each other.

Laitman_421_01Eliminating The Incompatibility In One Separate State

Question: You speak about the need of uniting the whole nation into one family, but isn’t this the dream of the extremist right wing in Europe: “We are one family, and they are not!”?

Answer: The problem of the extremist right wing is that it puts its nation in a special position, above the other nations. Here, on the other hand, we don’t speak about being superior to others but about unity among the people, so why not?

If I am French, for example, other countries don’t interest me; France is quite enough for me and I don’t want those who are not considered French to live in it. What is more being French is a matter of culture and not nationality.

They may be Belgian and even Jews but as long as we have one general unified culture and a common perspective, France is our common state and we accept its constitution and its laws, its customs, its norms, and its language.

Thus, if a certain sector intensifies this unity, it makes no difference if he is from the right, the left, or the center of the political map, this attitude is good as long as it isn’t fulfilled at the expense of other countries. I don’t look at others. I simply want my state to live in peace and harmony, to be happy and to prosper.

What’s wrong with that? A person worries about his country and wants his people to live as one family, and even if he lacks the wide perspective or the moral powers to worry about the citizens of other countries and even if it is called nationalism, it is in a good sense. He isn’t a chauvinist and doesn’t hate others and foreigners. He only cares about his own people but not at the expense of others.

It is true that in this case the country is unwilling to be part of organizations like the current EU, but it is actually unnecessary to be part of them. First, the specific nation undergoes a new form of education, aspiring for equality, unity, and a general common standard of living that everyone accepts. People gradually absorb new values and already wish to attain some equal optimal average basket of basic goods and services for everyone.

We don’t measure everyone by the same standard, of course. A comfortable life can still mean different things to different people to some extent, but on the whole the differences are small and merely a social act and not a social abyss as we see today.

Question: Will the extremist right wing be more successful if they accept such an approach?

Answer: Of course, but in order to do so the law has to be changed in the right direction. On the whole, all the citizens of the state have to accept the state culture and they have to be French, for example, regardless of any religious faith. A person has to be loyal to country he lives in.

African Americans in the US, for example, do not act against their country. They actually feel that they are Americans. They have conflicts with other sectors but they live in their homeland.

Accordingly, even if you are Muslim living in Europe, you have to be loyal to the country you live in, since otherwise you will be denied the right to live there.

Question: Is this kind of national unity a precondition for global unity?

Answer: No, but now we are speaking about a specific region, about European states where the tension between different sectors is growing and with regard to that a unified Europe is not yet part of the agenda. We can speak about economic and military cooperation, but this isn’t unity, only cooperation based on contracts.

On the other hand, true unity symbolizes the transition to family relations. It is much more intense, intimate, deep, and comprehensive when all of Europe actually becomes the common home of all its inhabitants. But they are unable to achieve that today because they are very far from it.

The Purpose For Living Was Never Missing

Laitman_051Opinion (Jefim Fištejn): “During the same century in which the West was dying, unbelievable events were taking place: two world wars and hundreds of small wars, old empires fell apart, powerful totalitarian ideologies flourished and faded and there was an outbreak of the symptoms of global depression.

“At the same time, in the members of our generation, with their particularly sensitive souls, there is a sensation that this time the West will be unable to prevent a historical downfall. The present crisis is characteristic not only of the West; it is a general crisis of humanity. There is no sensible, smart and understandable project for the future. There is no purpose for which it is worthwhile to live and die, everyone is wandering in the dark together.

“Maybe it was a heartfelt sensation or conviction, but everyone always knew that beyond the horizon something greater was waiting. In an outline (general guidelines) of the future, the present could be seen. The way towards it led to something higher and was paved with improvements, inventions and social and technological progress. There was a time when our lifetime necessarily led to a future, the future was a continuation of reality, a lifeline. But suddenly humanity lost interest in progressive development and turned its back on the future. How would it be possible to save the world and at least maintain the general guidelines?”

My Comment: That is right. All that remains to add is, that there is a purpose and the person is not the one who determines it. Rather, it is the program of nature and we must discover it. So humanity urgently requires the wisdom of Kabbalah. And here we have reached the endpoint of the plan of creation!

United Nations Resolution: Israel Is The Only Nation In The World That Is Violating Economic And Social Rights

laitman_272In the News (mixednews.ru): “According to a post of UNWatch, that includes 54 nations, the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations passed a resolution that declared that the nation of Israel is the only violator of economic and social rights in the world.

“The United States resolution accuses Israel of crimes like ‘the destruction of homes and property, economic institutions, farmland and gardens in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem as well as in the occupied Syrian territories in the Golan,’ the ‘exploitation of natural resources’ and the ‘disposal of all kinds of garbage in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem and in the occupied Syrian territory in the Golan, which seriously threatens ecological safety.’

“Hamas is not mentioned even once. Syria is mentioned 13 times, but only in the denunciation of Israel for ‘alleged’ violations against citizens in the occupied Syrian territories in the Golan whose relatives live on land in the Syrian Arab Republic. The bloody regime of Assad is not even mentioned. No other nation in the world except Israel was denounced at the annual socioeconomic meeting of the United Nations.”

My Comment: And I understand them! For nature, meaning the Creator, speaks through them, teaching us through the nations of the world about our situation, which requires urgent correction, by really approaching “and you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Only by approaching this value will the nations of the world not only turn to us with friendship, but also with love and a readiness to help everyone, advancing the entire world towards its best future, as it is said, “…and all nations shall flow unto it” (Isaiah 2:2). In spite of everything, we must reach such a state, either by the way of suffering or through a conscious approach.
