An Encounter With The “European Spring”!

Laitman_727Opinion (Jean-Paul Mounier, Boulevard Voltaire): “The situation regarding the Greek debt is the underwater part of the iceberg. The real economy has been robbed by the virtual economy which the financial economy has taken advantage of with great talent…

“The real world economy is 73 trillion Euro, but this is only 2% of the global economy and 98% of it doesn’t produce anything except financial crises. In other words, there are two economies: one that is based on work and labor and another that is artificial.

“When you spend real money on shares it becomes part of the information system, and if the financial mafia decides to rob you, it will only have to give an order and your money will evaporate without leaving a trace. It will, however, appear in the pockets of those who scheme on that end of the global economy.

“What is the purpose of all these strategies? To increase the debt of different nations so that it will be easier to manage them and build a new tower of Babel: masses that have one language and one digital coin. This is the utopia of the global government in which leaders will be like those chosen by God! Therefore if Greece doesn’t obey their commands, a ‘European Spring’ will begin in Spain, Italy and France.”

My Comment: Nature’s laws lead mankind to unite under the pressure of sufferings. Nature (the Creator) manages us by its laws, not the strong European states. The only thing we can do is to yearn for unity ourselves (the wisdom of Kabbalah tells us how to do it). Otherwise, nature will force us to unite under pressure up to sufferings, crises, and actual wars.

What Can Russia Give To The World?

laitman_434Question: What Can Russia Give To The World?

Answer: Russia can give the world what no other nation can give. After all, in the making of this country and in its continuing historical development, a very interesting phenomenon has happened: the people prefer union and connection more than a comfortable life.

It is not important how this was realized, the people carried within themselves a tendency to yearn for something unified, oneness, but not according to “mine” but according to “ours,” which in fact doesn’t exist beyond its borders where individuality is valued and respected. In Russia this did not take root.

The idea is that here people don’t aspire to be capitalists. There are individuals who develop their own business, succeed, and get along this way by trying to imitate examples from the west. But this is just a few thousand people, and all the rest of the people, 130 million, are completely different, they have no inclination or serious commercial talent; this doesn’t attract them.

But generally these are unique people; with them it is truly possible to go toward the victory of unity throughout the entire world, just by giving them the right direction. The people in themselves are unique because their attraction to unity is derived from within them. I think that they will grasp this and choose the method of unification at least as a rehabilitation of society.

Question: What must the influence of Russia on the world be?

Answer: It is possible to influence the world only through a positive example, not in any other way: not through inflexibility, not by arms, only through example. Since the whole world is entering a tailspin in the world crisis and the world doesn’t know what to do with itself, only a nation that will show that it is successful in finding a solution in combating the crisis and continuing to prosper can become an example for everyone.

But it will not be through the amount of GDP per capita, but through happiness, balance, and reduction in the need for drugs, alcohol, etc. A nation like this can show the world how to be in union with one another with a society that is constructed correctly, where everything is mutual and everyone receives immense satisfaction from life on another level, with complete concern about the future generation.

A New Reality

laitman_738Opinion (Dr. A. Dmitriev): “New and rapid reformations of the biosphere and the climate mechanism are happening on the background of physical and geophysical changes on our Earth and major transformational changes in the state of the solar system in general.

  • “The polarity of the geomagnetic field is changing. The North Pole is switching with the South Pole and vice versa.
  • We are left without protection against the rapid processes of the climate mechanism.
  • Natural disasters are happening; this is a reorganization of our climate and biosphere. On the other side of these disasters, a new reality is found.
  • The behavior and state of human beings are absolutely connected with the behavior and state of the environment that surrounds us, nature.
  • More and more, and in particular beyond the active destruction and rifts, ‘atmospheric rifts’ are observed, the Northern Lights above Alta are signs of a new reality.
  • The physical and chemical qualities of the atmosphere are changing.
  • Evolution is now found to be accelerating. The acceleration is 20 times faster. A new homeostasis is created. Plants and animals accept the new model of the climate that is being built according to a systematic cosmic solar program. But we are living according to old norms.
  • There are no disasters in nature. Rapid processes are happening in the conversion of energy in the biosphere to a new phase. The disaster is with human beings. Humans are found to be lagging behind greatly in the evolution of nature.
  • There is no knowledge or understanding on the human side, an understanding that the universe is conscious and the Earth is a living organism.
  • The main processes of the solar system are measured and calculated. At their foundation is found the conscious working of the universe, the passage of the solar system, including humans, to the next level of evolution.

“But due to the fact that humans have the gift of freedom of choice, it is impossible to drag them anywhere forcefully, not to the Garden of Eden and not to Hell. They choose their way themselves. People are themselves the creators of both their own happiness and their unhappiness.”

My Comment: Lately scientists are thinking the way that the Kabbalists have thought throughout the generations. Discovery of this picture of nature is leading them to the right conclusions. The problem of science is that nobody listens to it, just as they don’t listen to the wisdom of Kabbalah. Egoism shuts their eyes. Kabbalists experience this much more deeply than scientists because they have the wisdom of Kabbalah in their hands, an effective means for realizing freedom of choice and the mission of man in nature correctly.

It is possible to say that all of the threatening processes are happening only so that humanity will be involved with them and in this way they will elevate themselves to the next level of evolution, to the spiritual level, and will stop feeling this world as a reality, but as data given to us within our transient feelings.

Economy – For Life And Not For Profit

laitman_202_0Question: In an article by Baal HaSulam, he writes about the new economy of the corrected society. In what way does it differ from the economy of today that has entered a deep crisis, and what must be the transitional stages on the way to achieving it?

Answer: The main difference between the economy of today and the economy of the future is that the future economy is directed toward the participation of the simple and common man that has received a new special education through which he will understand what kind of a system he is in. This is a completely new approach.

First of all, the person needs to go through a preparation to learn the structure of human society, and then see himself as a part of it.

He will understand in what form he must communicate with everyone else, in what manner society provides itself with what it needs, what its needs are, how the society fulfills them, and what the level of optimal fulfillment is that is satisfactory for every citizen and every nation, and what kinds of goals the society places before him in the social and personal realm in culture and in education.

A person must know all of this because we are tightly linked with each other. Lack of understanding divides us into dozens of factions and all kinds of movements, and we only interfere with each other.

So, the top priority is not in a change to a new economy, but the creation of a system of education that encompasses the entire nation and even the world. A person begins to acquire a clear understanding of his place in society and the universal mutual connection.

He will not study it as an abstract theory as in a university; he will experience it and try it practically on himself in society. Everyone will participate in exercises like these.

Only after a person understands where he is, how much everyone depends upon each other, and toward what goal humanity is approaching, will it move toward a transition to a new economy, not before then.

These changes cannot be imposed from above in the form of directives. A person must participate in them himself. He must consent to be satisfied with an optimal standard of living. An optimal level makes it possible for a person to live without feeling a deficiency and need for something, but for one, it will not be more or less than it is for others. After all, our bodies require the same thing.

It could be that I will be satisfied with one chicken wing, whereas you need an entire chicken, but the principle is that everyone receives according to the beastly needs of his body. In addition, it is necessary to ensure every human need: education, culture, and leisure. That is, everyone requires fulfillment according to his material and social deficiencies, and there is still the intellectual deficiency that a person fulfills through learning, searching for an answer to the question of the meaning of existence and the attainment of the goal of life that goes beyond the boundaries of physical existence.

The main thing is to understand that there are several levels of existence. One level is corporeal—meaning material, beastly, where each one gets what is good for his body, family, and lifestyle: a house with all of its contents, normal conditions—but not more.

Everyone needs to agree that this is enough for us, and it is not necessary to create an artificial deficiency that confuses everyone and convinces them that they must buy a new product so that someone will get rich. Only normal things will remain, things that are beneficial for our health, and if it seems that it is possible to do something that is even better and healthier for the body, then we do this.

This means that everything must be rational and not for profit which is to blame for our having created hundreds of different kinds of thousands of products. The economy of the future will be reasonable.

Question: But many can say that the economy of today is reasonable because it is based on supply and demand. If there is a demand, then a product is created. If there were no demand for hundreds of kinds of cheese, then it would not be produced.

Answer: The demand is created artificially. We want the economy to serve our lives and not our lives to serve the economy.

This Will Not Happen With Us….

Laitman_727Opinion (zerohedge.com): “The history of the debt of America is similar to the history of Greece. A quarter of a century ago the level of debt in Greece was 75% of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product), which is what it is for the United States today. Now the level debt in Greece is 177% of the GDP.

“Within 25 years the debt level in America will reach 156% of the GDP. To avoid the scenario of Greece, America must cut spending. Otherwise the United States will repeat the history of Greece….”

My Comment: The truth is that this is what is expected for most of the nations in the world. It is necessary to change the system!

The Impending Liquidation

laitman_272In the News (goldenfront.ru): “The sum of the global debt is estimated to be 223 trillion dollars and since the 2008 crisis the global debt has grown by 40%.

“It is vital for the financial world that the global debt of 223 trillion dollars will continue to float and will not be liquidated, i.e., exchanged for cash. The collapse of the banking system due to rising interest rates would be catastrophic for the whole European banking system, and if Europe collapses, the collapse of the whole world will follow.

Sooner or later the interest rates will begin to rise and the central federal band and the central European bank find themselves trapped waiting anxiously for a wave of cancelled bonds, as a cloud of debt of 223 trillion dollars is hanging over the world and the flood is approaching.”

My Comment: I know that Baal HaSulam wrote about this when the Soviet Union collapsed saying that it was only because they didn’t promote connection between people by properly educating them first! Thus, instead of a global market the result was a global commotion.

Uniting The World Has Turned Into A Sad Holiday

laitman_426Opinion (km.ru): “It was exactly 70 years ago that the UN protocol was signed by representatives from 50 countries. Where has the UN that was established by the victorious superpowers in order to prevent wars deteriorated to? Does the UN have a future?

“The 70th anniversary of the UN is a sad holiday; there aren’t any evident effects of its actions. The UN is depicted as a universal means that serves as a platform for its members to express themselves. In addition, what is the essence of the final decisions made by this organization? The UN work has become a routine of debates and discussions and the speaker’s stand at the UN is now perceived as an opportunity for self-expression and not for a means of unity. In fact the UN has never managed to reach an agreement in crucial historical moments. No one is going to abolish the UN as a platform for negotiations; it isn’t the UN’s fault; the world has simply changed…”

My Comment: There are fools who are like children playing smart adult games without understanding that they don’t change their egoistic nature or don’t even intend to change it, and thus initiate events that are doomed to fail. The same thing will happen with the EU market. They didn’t think about uniting the nations, people, and cultures, or about national unity. They only think about getting rich and becoming stronger than the Americans and Russians. Eventually they will also disintegrate, just like the UN. The great Kabbalist, Baal HaSulam wrote about the establishment of the Soviet Union and said that if people want to unite without first working on correcting human nature, they will only achieve destruction, which is what happened to the Soviet Union, the UN, and the EU, so who is next?

Back To Nature

Laitman_707Question: Over the last couple of years the tendency to return to nature has become very popular, including consuming fewer modern, artificial things. This pertains to medicine as well, where naturopathy and homeopathy are gaining popularity over traditional treatment with chemical drugs.

People prefer natural products without chemical fertilizers, natural birth without using pain medication. Why is it that more and more people feel a need to go back to nature?

Answer: In the past, people received food and medicinal resources from the environment, using various plants, animals, and natural gifts from the forest. And today too there are people who know how to use these things. People were closer to nature, which was not as polluted as today.

Before we invented the combustion engine, which works with diesel or gas, we did not poison the environment. Our food was free of chemicals because they were natural. People ate chicken and fish raised in natural conditions. But in recent years the situation has changed drastically.

In the past, doctors used natural medicines. Once while traveling through Canada, I visited an old village, maintained as a museum-reservation. And there was a point of interest: a village doctor’s home. And around it agricultural lands, where he grew medicinal plants, which he dried in the house.

It was evident that it was a real production. Usually a doctor was a very wealthy person because he was needed by everyone. And the doctor truly knew how to cure. Otherwise no one would call on him. Each village had its own infirmary run by those who had the knowledge and the profession was passed from one generation to the next. All medicines were taken from nature.

We see that animals cure themselves with plants. As a dog owner takes his dog outside, the dog immediately begins to search for plants to consume. It feels what plant is necessary for its body. Similarly, our bodies are also animals, and it is a true pity that we have become so distant from natural medicinal methods.

However, a modern person does not know how to treat himself with plants. And it’s impossible to imagine all the inhabitants of a city with a population of many millions would travel to a forest in search of medicinal plants for their treatment.

Certainly the technological process cannot be reversed. However, after all our hopes for the associated prosperity and happy future, we suddenly begin to doubt that this development has been to our benefit. We see many negative consequences, although we try to ignore them or think they are inevitable.

Our entire development (in technology, medicine, family life, education, etc.) has passed a certain peak, and although we assumed that we would only rise higher and higher, we began to decline. We do not maintain balance by moving in the middle line, but instead we lean to one side and lost our balance.

Perhaps we need to rethink our attitude and choose the middle line so that we don’t throw away the natural methods of treatment and completely switch to chemicals.

Careful: Words Can Kill

laitman_546_01Question: For a long time, humanity dreamt about democracy and freedom of speech. A lot of blood was shed fighting for this right. Freedom of speech is one of the most significant achievements of modern man.

When dictators come to power, the first thing they do is limit the freedom of speech. Why is it so important to us to freely express our thoughts and opinions?

Answer: The desire for the freedom of speech stems from human egoism and our desire to be “important.” Freedom of speech adds social “weight” when we proudly stand up and express our opinion. This is how we state our presence in this life and world.

The desire to express oneself derives from our egoism; everybody has it. When our egoism grows, it becomes more and more complicated and demanding. So, it requires a broader range of self-expression.

Thousands of years ago people didn’t have a need to speak openly. Living in a small village, they didn’t lack freedom of speech: What were they supposed to talk about anyway?

Modern man appreciates his freedom of speech, but do we know what it is?. If this is the freedom to say whatever we want, then how are we sure of the correctness of our views? Do we really understand that we are responsible for the words, which can hurt someone?

The same can be said for government elections. Do we understand that we are responsible for the future of our countries and even for the entire world when we submit our ballot?

Freedom of speech depends on a person’s developmental level, education, and understanding of what they talk about and what influence they produce by saying what they say. These are not the speeches in Hyde Park, London that entertain tourists.

Before we take advantage of the freedom of speech, we have to be properly educated because it imposes a great responsibility. Not only are uttered words strong weapons, but even our thoughts. Our thoughts soar around the world and collide with each other, creating a field of thoughts that impact us and the whole world.

Therefore, freedom of speech obligates us to be at a certain level and to accept a huge responsibility. When saying something out loud, we have to make sure that our words spreading around the world will enhance correction instead of just proving my truth as it appears to me in my egoism.

Ecological Dance

Laitman_702_01In the News (cherduk): “Earthquakes are capable of destroying cities within minutes; they move cities from their usual places, change the height of mountains, divert the axis of the Earth and slow its rotation.

“Earthquakes are caused for various reasons, but the most destructive are the tectonics, when two lithospheric plates move relative to each other. 14 plates cover the entire surface of the Earth. The plates are stuck onto each other, and when they move from their place, the energy released produces seismic waves and subterranean vibrations. That is how mountains and nations are moved.

“The latest earthquake (with a 7.5 magnitude) in Nepal, raised the height of Kathmandu by two meters. In Honshu, the earthquake, with a magnitude of 9.1, raised the island by 3 meters, and the entire area moved 20 meters to the East. There was an urgent need to change the navigational maps for ships.

“The movement of the lithospheric plates arouses the eruption of volcanoes. The force of gravity changes. Glaciers are destroyed. The skies tremble. Vertical oscillations on the surface of the Earth pass into the atmosphere, electrons are emitted from the molecules of gases, changing them into ions. The axis of the Earth is shifted; strong subterranean shocks influence the speed of the rotation of the Earth. The earthquake in Japan moved the axis of the Earth around which the mass of the Earth is balanced by17 centimeters. Due to the new and sudden distribution of the mass, the Earth began to ‘wobble’ more than usual during its rotation around itself like a turned head.

“The climate changes when the Earth’s crust cracks; methane, one of the strongest greenhouse gases, erupts from the cracks. Our planet is a very complex configuration (structure), whose many components are linked together by many reciprocal influences. They are so integrated and complex that it is impossible to create a plausible model, this would require a computer the size of the Earth. The Butterfly Effect, which is so much loved by science fiction, has been realized on the surface of our Earth every second for 4.5 billion years.”

My Comment: I suspect that this happens even throughout the entire universe, and only our shortsightedness doesn’t allow us to sense the full picture of this perfect system!
