Opinion (David Servan-Schreiber): “Helping others activates areas in the brain that stimulate a feeling of pleasure in us. So specifically because of this in difficult times we must put emphasis on communication between people.

“A nation that dedicates itself to the growth of its Gross National Product, interprets all measurements in monetary units. But it is impossible to measure the health of children, happiness, singing, stable married life, the honesty of those in power, humor, education, wisdom and love with money. The Gross National Product of the nation measures everything, but just not those aspects for which it is truly worthwhile to live.

“The positive development of a nation doesn’t need to be measured by the growth in the manufacture of weapons and the building of prisons, rather through the true welfare of its citizens. People are happy when their jobs are not connected to consumption. Creating a connection with others, being active, concentrating on shared events, learning all the time, trying something new and devoting yourself to others; this is the formula for happiness!

“It will take a worldwide financial crisis for these eternal values to finally become the subject of public debate.”

My Comment: It is specifically suffering that forces us to pay attention to others, even though it seems that suffering locks a person inside himself. But basically only through suffering does a person reach compassion and mercy. So the developing crisis will force us to pay attention to those around us and in this way attain happiness. But this would be only after very great suffering! Instead, the wisdom of Kabbalah offers its own easy way to rapidly attain happiness together. So now choose! It is not by chance that the Chinese character for “crisis” is composed of two characters: “danger” and “opportunity.”

Question: Is war a search for connection between people?

Answer: When people cannot reach agreement between them, they don’t just distance themselves from each other, but begin all kinds of conflicts. This means that if there is not a good connection, it becomes a bad connection.

So, both civil wars and wars between nations are a search for some kind of connection, either good or bad, but all of us are egoists. We cannot determine some kind of defined general rules between us, some kind of connecting formula. and war helps us with this.

The fact that in the 20^th century wars became international indicates that the entire world is searching for union because it must reach a global state, back to its roots.

Question: But humanity assumes the opposite, that war is a severing of connection.

Answer: No, along with this, some kind of particular transformation of order happens. We Jews, unfortunately, are a type of egoist such that we still are not ready to move from ego to union immediately.

The connection between all of the peoples who are in conflict must be discovered as a result of our work. If the people of Israel won’t show an example of connection and union, then only one thing is left: war. Then, all of the people blame us that all of the wars in the world happen because of the Jews. And this is correct because we aren’t making it possible for them to unite among themselves. This is because the glue that connects all of humanity together, which is the characteristic of bestowal and love, is only found with us.

Europe: United and Separated

There are two wide-scale conflicts that lead to animosity and hatred:

• among locals and immigrants;
• among different countries of the European Union because its stronger members tend to benefit from its weaker members.

Both types of conflicts are triggered by the economic crisis and lack of integral education which should have been chosen as a basis for European unity. It’s not feasible to reach unity only by promising vague potential benefits in the future. People are different; they are either hostile and hateful or totally indifferent to each other.

Unity is not about the absence of entry visa regulations among European countries. It’s not an issue at all, nor was it ever a hard procedure. Unity requires much more.

Question: What awaits Europe as a result of its internal conflicts? What will happen in the future?

Answer: One of the two:

• either Europe will realize the evil that it faces and will find out how to correct the situation, or
• it will go through devastating disasters, wars and other afflictions. In this case, the European population will come to realization of the evil later, thus postponing its correction.

Question: What is evil? What exactly do Europeans have to understand?

Answer: They have to comprehend what the common global problem of Europe and the world as a whole really is. Why have they reached such a state? What’s going on? Once again, we approach another world war; yet again, we hate each other. Currently, we are close to a new war. People must comprehend the essence of the processes that take place in the world and find out what can be done to stop them.

Europeans should admit that mixing various nations who lacked genuine interconnectedness and were not close spiritually, culturally or religiously was a huge mistake. Any union has to meet certain criteria. Random decisions of European politicians and economists are very far from reality and have nothing to do with authentic unity.

Question: Does it mean we will come to recognition of the evil the hard way?

Answer: Yes. The crisis and potential collapse of the world are on the way. Europe is not an exception. Governments are incapable and incompetent to accept the idea of correction.

There is a chance this message will go through the general public. It will happen if common people will create a movement that will later transform into a party that will put forward correct requirements to their governments and will eventually become a part of governmental cabinets. Yes, politics is dirty and messy, but it is the only way to reach the decision-making level and attract voters who will give their ballots to those who can launch qualitative changes in culture and education. New balanced economic is possible only under this condition.

At this time, nobody can cope with it, as with the economy, because it’s a derivative of social relationships. It means that before anything else, we must correct the relationships between us.

As an example, a mini-economics of a normal, friendly family is about every family member having everything they need: children must have enough special baby-food; the elderly should have necessary medications. Do you agree that contemporary governments take good care of their citizens? Not at all! Modern economics is based on the advantage of the strong, on how much one can “grab and run away with.” People don’t care about others. Family economics would collapse if it were built on such an attitude, whereas so far, modern economics somehow has survived even though we clearly see their distorted structures.

So, first of all people have to reach a state when every member of the society feels that “we all are one big family.” Then, based on this new type of relationships and mutual positive attitude, it will be possible to build a new type of economy with the help of integral education.

Europe Partially United

What is to be done if the European Union has no common denominator? Some kind of common basis that connects everyone is required here.

But the political leaders haven’t preceded union with shared information and education; new values have not penetrated into their minds and hearts; they have not brought their ideas to discussion so that the people themselves will think and consider how to unite in the best way.

The concept of “union” itself requires clarification, familiarity, and there even could be the creation of all kinds of public committees. Methodological television programs are required; a unique educational program for schools is required,; all of Europe must learn the principles of connection and union, and also examine this.

In short, a complete educational process would be required for Europe before forcing the arrangements of the European Union on the continent. But instead of this, a decision was accepted and it “descended” from above; certainly it was in a nice democratic envelope, but solely and only on the basis of economic benefits. And the economy is unstable: today it is this way, tomorrow another way…a crisis arrives and all the cards are reshuffled.

Besides this, union without a common program is “crippled”: it makes it possible to profit in one thing at the expense of something else. Suppose that we provide security but lose in the economy, or we provide for the economy but lose in education. In fact, all areas must be balanced.

And in Europe the major work of cultural union was not done on time. So the Germans remain Germans, the French remain French, and so on. As in the past there was no true and warm connection between them, today there is still no connection like this.

All the threads that connect Europe pass through the banks, and this is called an “alliance.” Yes, a financial community is concealed behind its facade, but it is accompanied by internal struggles over these or other “slices of the pie.”

A structure like this will not sustain its position. It costs a vast amount of money, and ultimately a game that promised a gain becomes a loss.

Unity That Sows Dispute

The most prominent characteristic of the extreme right-wing in Europe is that they are against the present European Union. Moreover, every nation has its own neo-Nazis, and they also don’t want to unite.

This is because they look at the obvious failure of management of the European Union. Ultimately, the more successful nations are forced to pay the general European fund for the less successful nations.

And here the reasons for success and failure are no longer important; what is important is the result: nobody wants the present ongoing politics, including the smaller nations.

For example, at the time of my last visit to the Baltic nations, people were complaining about the closure of factories. They had an excellent dairy industry, but in order to enter the European Union, it was necessary to destroy it and move to imported products.

The same applies to power. If in the past they supplied themselves with electricity, now they are absolutely dependent upon the European energy supplies, for which they still must pay. And these are just two clauses from the list.

Ultimately the Baltic nations were left without industrial production and their standard of living declined. Indeed, they are members of the European Union and their currency is the Euro, but in order to earn this Euro for their livelihood they were forced to work much harder than the residents of other European nations. And therefore, not surprisingly, a great number of people left Europe to make a living, and for the most part had to leave their families.

Another example is Portugal in which they “closed” a large fishing industry.

So what is this union if it is beneficial only to a few rich nations? The division into industrial branches “cut through” entire national operational domains to which they were culturally and traditionally adapted and which were historically their asset. People were left lacking everything, and this was the greatest failure of leadership.

As a result of this, in addition to xenophobia, hostility and hatred between all kinds of European nations was also created.

For example, all of Europe considers Greece to be a heavy burden. And on their side, the Greeks ask themselves: “What did we enter the European Union for? Previously we got along by ourselves, and it is only worse for us now. Because of your laws we have become poorer and are forced to ask for monetary compensation from you. But this help is also connected to severe requirements; so essentially we find ourselves in slavery.”

The same processes are being arranged everywhere. Those who are rich and strong in the European “commonwealth” benefit at the expense of others.

Question: People today enjoy an affluent life, and the economy is based on this. A person sets his corporeal development as a goal. He dreams of buying a new car and a new house.

Will a person receive pleasure not from material acquisitions, but from social ties when he reaches the new level of human development?

Answer: A person receives pleasure from attaining the upper force.

A consumerist society will come to a complete dead end, and when despair is felt from this, we will have to explain that there is a solution, but it is a new education and teaching for everyone.

Baal HaSulam said that the major mistake of the Russian revolutionists at the beginning of the last century was that they didn’t act for the Creator’s sake.

This is actually what stood in their way of building the right state.

They didn’t take into account the general system that requires our unity in order to attain an upper spiritual level. They did not set a sublime goal for themselves that would provide a solution for corporeal life and for attainting eternal existence.

There is no solution in our corporeal life. We can only close our eyes and ignore the fact that we are doomed to die as if we didn’t worry about what the future brings. However, it is clear to everyone that man is not eternal.

All of society’s current problems stem from the fact that people have no answer for the meaning of life and what we are living for. This is the reason that terrorist organizations and religious wars are growing stronger, thus bringing the world to the brink of a new world war.

Where does all that stem from, while there is such material affluence in the modern world? The reason is that people don’t understand what they are living for, and so there is such confusion in the world.

However, there is a solution, and the wisdom of Kabbalah offers it to us. It isn’t about the simple correction of the economy in order to provide everyone the products they desire, but actually it gives a person much more.

The economy is only meant for providing what we need in order to exist, but the main goal is to ascend to a higher level.

I don’t want my children to live the same life I live, to grow old and die like me, and for my grandchildren and the future generations to have the same fate too. I want to give them more than this mortal existence!

Everything starts with education and information, even including the new economy. But economists want to keep the old method and continue the same life as before without paying attention to changes in people. But you cannot fix the economic crisis like that.

First of all, it is necessary to educate people to prepare them for the new stage of human development, life in a harmonious society in which each one rationally gets what is necessary. We need to agree to sustainable consumption and then the entire society will achieve balance.

Economic development is not in that there are 500 kinds of cheese today, and tomorrow another two hundred will be added. Our lives must be rational, and rational consumption means that we don’t need anything that is superfluous, and we want to examine ourselves, the society, our families and all of our lives from the point of view of maximum benefit.

But this does not mean that it is necessary to extract all of the nature’s resources and obligate a person to work many hours per day until old age ruining his entire life.

A person needs spare time and time for educating his or her children. Small children shouldn’t be thrown into child care from seven in the morning until seven in the evening without seeing their parents, and when the parents take them home in the evening, they no longer have the energy or time to be with them.

Question: But people don’t feel miserable. Statistical surveys show that most people are satisfied with their lives.

Answer: People haven’t learned anything else and are unfamiliar with any other life. They are confused. People live the way that they are taught, and they get nice, statistical graphs. However, this is talking about the essence of life.

The world is entering a crisis that will bring absolute disorder, and the economists cannot continue to work by the old methods. Just as a hundred years ago, people worked ten to twelve hours per day, they do so today as well, even with all the technological advancement.

So, how can the person be happy with a life like this? In the past, he just worked with machines in factories and now he works with computers, but in principle nothing has changed. He was at work all day and didn’t see the children, but at least his wife didn’t work and stayed at home with the children. But today even women are forced to work all day.

Question: For the modern person, work takes the most important place in life. If we ask a young woman who her husband is, she immediately answers and says his name and his position at work. Each one evaluates himself according to his job and salary.

Answer: This is the result of the influence of the environment on the person, from Hollywood movies, commercials, and all media. A person begins to look at life through glasses like these. We never have educated people. We only give people toys, mobile phones and computers, and we turn them into consumers to help the development of the economy. People only work and buy, work and buy, and in this way they help someone get rich.

Question: But people don’t know what rational consumption is.

Answer: So, first and foremost, we require education and information. Nothing else needs to be changed. Just educate people, and first and foremost, the economists.

In the News (facto.ru): “Holland will begin a social experiment: A few dozen people will regularly receive a monetary stipend that doesn’t depend on their activities. The payments will be made by the nation or some other institution.

“The payments will be paid to everyone without exception, regardless of the level of income, without the need of performing work. Even in the year 1795, Thomas Paine described in his book Agrarian Justice an essential income to be paid by the authorities to every person above the age of 21.

“The experiment must refute the critics; it is possible that receiving an unconditional income will reduce excessive pressure on people, will make people happier, but will not eliminate the desire to search for work. Similar activities will make it possible for men to get better education, and for women to take long vacations to take care of children.

“In Canada, a similar experiment did not show a significant descent in the labor market, but did show a significant rise in the quality of education, training and health. In Namibia, experiments were conducted for two years, which led to a reduction in poverty, a rise in active effort, decreased crime, improvement in school attendance and the health of children related to proper nutrition. In India, as a result of an experiment like this in the year 2010, there was an increase in economic activity, improvement in the housing situation and sanitary conditions, food, the health of people and school attendance. In general, the experiments have shown a positive influence.”

My Comment: The world will come to the fact that everyone will be paid mandatory allowances on condition that everyone will attend re-education courses.

In the News (mixednews): “The total volume of mergers and acquisitions in the United States that has grown by 60% within a year. Likewise there exists extreme uncertainty regarding the working principles of the global economy.

“The European Union supposes that the constitutions of Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy, which were written after the defeat of fascism, contain too much protection of civil and labor rights. The European Union supposes that it is necessary to return to the political, economic and social conditions that prevailed in the period of the fascist regimes, when capital had complete unlimited freedom of action.

“For the past two years, these programs have been realized by Greece by means of dictates from the European Union, the International Monetary Fund and the Central Bank of Europe. So the economic and social disaster that happened in Greece was not a result of the unique conditions that are typical of this nation only, but as a result of the general bankruptcy of the global capitalist system. Greece is the testing ground for steps that will soon be implemented in every nation, arousing concern among the financial and business elites.”

My Comment: The world is managed by nothing other than the laws of nature, and so no person or group knows what will happen. But there is a mistaken form of freedom of action. This illusion exists within each and everyone. The only action that a person or a group of people or humanity can implement is to aspire to the goal of creation, to consolidation into a complete fusion of our desires and thoughts.

We are being carried towards this situation against our will as if we were in an ocean current, with the help of an accompanying demonstration of opposite states, crises, and our lack of accommodation to consolidation. Ahead of us is the turbulence of world war or sobriety.

Opinion (E Novitski): “The terrorist group ‘the Islamic State (ISIS)’ in the past 10 months has surpassed all of its ‘colleagues’ in popularity including the infamous ‘Al-Qaeda.’

“The subject ‘ISIS’ on the Internet is the most discussed in American media environment, and the number of mentions of terrorists has exceeded 250 million. Articles with links of ‘Al- Qaeda did not exceed 45 million. This group became the most famous in the history of international terrorist organizations.

“Against this background, the FBI is concerned about the propaganda of radical Islamic in the social networks Facebook and Twitter. The fanatics are gaining the trust of minors and recruit them to their religious movement.

“Young men follow the idea to take up a noble engagement—to protect the weak with weapons in their hands. Young women are invited to become the wives of these soldiers and gain the comfort of family.

“In one social network Twitter, terrorists are using more than 90,000 accounts, and through the video services of YouTube and Google, the Internet has available records of executions and tortures. In the popular networking site Facebook, there are many groups that in one way or another support the ideas and actions of ISIS.

“Most young people do not watch TV and do not analyze the news, which condemns the actions of ISIS, and calls the organization the cruelest organization. Adolescents receive information directly from the militants and feel there is nothing suspect about executions, torture, and massacres based on Sharia law.

“The appearance and promotion of the brand ISIS comes from none other than the absurd freedom of speech. Special security services automatically block any neo-Nazi content, but do not respond to the harsh propaganda of ISIS.

“Although the material published by terrorists is disgusting, feelings gradually become dulled as the users of the network daily receive new portions of content and calls for Jihad.

“Technically limiting network activity is easy. An example is the mass removal of material containing children pornography from the Internet in recent years. But the fighters of the Islamic state are taking advantage of the freedom that the Internet gives them steadily gains popularity.

“In less than a year of vigorous activity, they were able ‘to become famous’ in the whole world. Moreover, by means of the media, they have attracted to their ranks more than 20,000 foreigners, including minors.

“The budget of the organization, according to independent estimates, is up to several hundred million dollars, and was created thanks to massive donations for their benefit. The terrorists put their strategic plans on the Internet without fear and willfully declare their desire to conquer the Middle East, North Africa, and part of Asia.”

My Comment: In our world, the evil has an advantage over the good in all levels, even if it is harmful and deadly! We must act, and on the level of the DHS and FBI through banning the propaganda. But in general, to carry out actions of correction is against the nature of our world, and only the Upper Light (Ohr Makif) is able to correct our nature partially or fully.

Our attempts to correct ourselves and society worked until our time, but when we became integral (from the year 1995), then only the Upper Light can change us. Therefore, the wisdom of Kabbalah is revealed, and now humanity needs to see that only in its use the correction of the world is concealed.
