Question: Why is it so hard for us to hear that our nation is special and that it has a special mission?

Answer: Because it is obliging and people want to be lost among others and be like everyone else. He thinks to himself: “There are more than two hundred countries in the world, so why can’t Israel just be one of them? Why do we have to stand out? What is the benefit in that?” But we will not be able to hide from our mission.

Question: People say that this is the reason that Jews are not liked because they stand out and consider themselves special.

Answer: I don’t think that we want to stand out, but that’s how it turns out. The Jews take part in all important undertakings and are very successful in what they do. You cannot hide the fact that some thirteen million people have a decisive influence on the world and stand out in science and in every field you can think of.

What is thirteen million people compared to all of humanity, considering the fact that only half of them are adults? It is even less than the population of a large city, but see what an impact they have on all of humanity. Of course, humanity finds it hard to accept this phenomenon.

This is especially true since there is a spiritual root here that obliges the world to see the Jews as strangers. Every nation intuitively feels something against us, but even among the Jews themselves there is a negative attitude towards Israel, because, after all, we have come together as Abraham’s group from all the nations then living in Babylon. In every Jew there is the root of the nation he comes from in addition to the spiritual root, called Israel, that he received.

While this spiritual root stood and operated actively, we were the Israeli nation. But after we fell from the height of this root, we became like all the other nations and even much worse. If Israel falls, it descends lower than all the other nations.

It is for this reason that the main roots of the nations of the world are being revealed in us now more than the spiritual root. Therefore, we want to learn from the nations of the world, to be like them and accept their criticism. It is a natural phenomenon that is typical of everyone more or less.

We only need to understand who we really are and why this is happening to us, what is concealed in us, what process we have been through and still have to go through, what our mission in this world is, and why all the nations accuse us, thus actually admitting that they depend on us.

If they claim that Israel is responsible for all the problems in the world, it is a sign that Israel is so strong, special, high, and powerful that it can affect the whole world for the worse. How can some 13 million people, which is the population of a small state, have such an impact on the whole world? How does that happen?

This is their way of telling us that we are the source, the pipe through which they receive either the good or bad energy. If we behave differently, we will become the source of goodness for the world.

The goodness is not in bringing the world new discoveries and Nobel prizes but in bringing the world Light and peace. This isn’t some technical invention but a force that reaches people and calms them, a force that connects them correctly and makes them into one whole. Then they will begin to live in peace and harmony by caring about one another. Everyone will be guaranteed a safe and peaceful life in this world.

The Postulates Of The Theory of Integrality

We are part of nature, the result of its development.

Nature ensures the proper development of each of its parts.

As a result of the program of development, consistently over the globe appeared the vegetative and animate worlds, and finally the human being.

We cannot reveal the feeling and mind that rule in the universe.

The end of development is a perfect state.

Filed under: Evolution, Israel, Nations of the World - No Comments →

From the Book, The Essential Secret of the Jews, by M. Brushtein:

​The Direction of Evolution

At some point, the above mentioned Academician Vernadsky described this topic very concretely:

Evolution of species transitions to the evolution of the biosphere. (1)

Academician V. Vernadsky gave this new stage of evolution a name:

“A new degree of the biosphere that we approach without even noticing it is called a noosphere.” (2)

A lot of time has elapsed since then. Sciences continued their development. The issue of evolution has tremendously advanced since then. It is quite easy to check it out. For that, it’s enough to find the newest official definition of evolution.

“Evolution – derives from Latin “evolutio” – deployment. …

In a broad sense, the term evolution denotes the way people cognize social and natural processes, their internal motivations, order and developmental patterns.

Evolution outlines a state of a system that undergoes certain modifications over time as compared to its prior state; it delineates results of the process of adaptation.

In a narrower sense of the word, evolution is a set of gradual, steady changes (as opposed to revolution.)” (3)

To be honest with you, I always had​ a​ difficult time with this definition as well as with any other definitions that I ever found in all sorts of dictionaries. This definition proves only one thing:  evolution is the result of some changes or of our understanding​ of​ what these changes might be.

It makes ​room for despair! For billions of years this permanent process continues unfolding, but what do we know about it? Only that it goes on.

Of course, it is not an easy task to figure out ​when it started. However, we can at least determine where it ​is going and share our ideas on its possible directions.

Even a poet agrees with this concept:

“There is a history in all men’s lives,

Figuring the natures of the times deceased;

The which observed, a man may prophesy,

With a near aim, of the main chance of things

As yet not come to life, who in their seeds

And weak beginning lie in-treasured.

Such things become the hatch and brood of time;

And, by the necessary form of this,

King Richard might create a perfect guess

That great Northumberland, then false to him,

Would of that seed grow to a greater falseness;

Which should not find a ground to root upon…”  (4)

And yet, I managed to find some information on this topic.

Dear scientists! Please pay attention to what contemporary scholars endorse: evolution is aimed at overall unity. Thus, science too proves this hypothesis.

“Irrespective of the multiplicity of life forms that are found on Earth, life per se is unity that is conditioned by the evolution of the Earth.” (5)

In the same source, scientists indirectly confirm the legitimacy of the notions that are described in this book. It’s already a good sign.

“Important conclusion: there is no such thing as ‘single,’ ‘absolute,’ or ‘perfect’ method of exploration of the evolutionary process.” (6)

That being said, I’d like to finish this chapter on an optimistic note. Things are not as confusing as they seem. Sometimes, in order to comprehend this idea, it’s enough to put away the microscope and look at things with the naked eye.

“Go and ask a botanist how many phases the fruit undergoes from the time it becomes visible until it is completely ripe. Not only do its preceding phases show no evidence of its sweet and fine-looking end, but as if to vex, they show the opposite of the final outcome.”

The sweeter the fruit is at its end, the bitterer and more unsightly it is in the earlier phases of its development.” (7)

Question: Why did Israel return from unity to the previous division just a few days after the external threat disappeared?

Answer: This happens instantly, no inertia acts here. Unity does not cool down gradually but disappears in an instant. Either we keep our connection, or it collapses.

Question: So, it turns out that we came back from the front and bomb shelters to our homes and schools, but there will be no rest?

Answer: If we do not hold this connection, we will have no rest. On the contrary, an even greater threat will come to push us to unite. A threat on Israel’s northern borders, and special intifada in the territories are beginning to form.

We will not be able to avoid threats if we do not unite. All the problems at the external borders occur only because we fight a mutual war with each other. If we do not want to achieve inner peace, the war will come to us from the outside.

Question: What can we do to avoid the next missile attack?

Answer: For the first time, the nation felt that it lacked unity. We can no longer remain in this state. First, the former president, then other influential people found themselves in prison. This indicates a very serious, continuous, and increasing degradation of society.

But all this happens in order to bring us to the realization of evil. We must understand that if we do not unite, we will continue to deteriorate and fall until we lose everything. We have no right to exist in the land of Israel if we do not achieve unity among the people of Israel.

To be the people of Israel means to be one man with one heart, or at least aspire to this, seeing in it the only form of existence for the whole nation. If we do not see this, then we have no right to be in the land of Israel.

No one in the world wants to recognize this right for us. Year by year, we will feel that we become more distanced from the rest of the world, and more ignored. We will be like Typhoid Mary, whom everyone avoids because she is dangerous to others.

In the end, the whole world will come to us not only with demands, but also with real threats, with weapons in their hands. If the whole of Europe will side with Gaza and begin supplying it with weapons, what can be done about it? We cannot confront the entire world. It is known what happens to a country that does not what to bow to the rest of the world; it becomes completely isolated and declines.

For the time being, the world is not interested in us, as it is busy with problems in Ukraine, Iraq, and the formation of new terrorist groups. But soon it will end, and Israel will once again be the main focus of the entire world. There is no other place, country, or nation that is more hated than Israel. Everyone hates us by common consent. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the cause of this hatred and draw conclusions from it.

We will no longer be allowed to live from one military campaign to another, nor pay for the possibility of a break in the fighting for a couple of years with the lives of our soldiers. We must understand why this is happening and show everyone an example by our unity.

Humanity today is at a fateful crossroads.

On the one hand, it appears that we all depend on each other and our world has become one global village. On the other hand, we strongly resist this relationship and do not want to get closer to each other.

Clearly, this unstable state cannot last long. Humanity must decide how to live further into the future.

About 4,000 years ago, a similar situation in the world once existed in ancient Babylon.

In order to come to the right decision, as well as to understand how we, the people of Israel, are associated with this problem, let’s go back in time and trace the events as they unfolded.

The full text of the brochure – here.

Question: The latest military crisis in Israel undermined many of our firm convictions. We were confident in the strength of our army, but became convinced that we would be not able to use it to protect ourselves from the threat. Now, it is obvious that the agreements between the governments do not guarantee any security.

Answer: Modern warfare is of a different kind. There no longer the life we were used to. The old foundations, approaches, objectives, principles, and means do not work. This happens not only in Israel but around the world.

Just these questions are not so crucial around the world. But in Israel, which is located in such a hostile environment, it is a matter of life and death. Therefore, we must be sensitive to change.

The people of Israel must understand its purpose and why this is happening to us: what the purpose of our existence is, what the nations of the world require of us, why they blame us in all their misfortunes.

We must explain this to everyone, and first of all, to ourselves. Our nation does not understand what it is and what the mission of the people of Israel is, that it must serve as a model for unification of the whole world.

Only the Jewish people have the knowledge of how to unite. After all, this readiness is already incorporated within it. Every Jew has a special gene because once, in the time of the Temple, our people existed in spiritual unity. We already lived as one man with one heart, accepted this condition for realization.

Today, we must show an example of this unity to the entire humanity that needs it so badly. Only we can do this. I am glad that for the first time the nation felt that it really wants and needs this.

This deep impression was left in us as a result of the last war. I don’t think that it will disappear. It will be less, but it will remain in each Israeli, and it will be possible to awaken this need for connection.

If the nation is already seeking connection, then it needs to know on what it depends and how it can be achieved. No one really imagines such a relationship where we are constantly connected with each other and how we can come to them.

Indeed, it is not achievable. One has only to look at himself, his life, neighbors, and it immediately becomes clear that this is a complete utopia and it cannot take place. Even if you kill me, I am not able to connect with others.

It is beyond human capacity, and even more so among the Jews. We can be very close to each other when this is beneficial. But in real life, when it is not required, we are in no hurry to connect. Therefore, we need a method, a science of unity, which is called the wisdom of Kabbalah.

This science is hidden within us, within the Jewish people. We have already been merged with it in the days of the Temple; we lived as one man with one heart all the time after leaving Egypt and before the fall of the Second Temple.

Today, we need to return to this method. Therefore, the wisdom of Kabbalah is revealed so that we realize it within the people of Israel and teach this method to the entire world and become “a light to the nations of the world.”

Question: It seems to me that the absence of a uniform opinion among the people of Israel is not a defect, rather it testifies to the advancement of the people. So, in what manner is it possible to reach a condition where the people will attain unity and, together with this, will maintain the wealth of opinions?

Answer: There is only one word that easily solves this problem: love! As it is written, “Proverbs” 10:12: Love covereth all transgressions. Love balances all the differences. Each one will remain with his opinion, but love will make it possible for us to maintain opposing opinions, feel our connection, and belong to a single whole above them.

The Arabs are trying to attain unity among people in which everyone thinks the same thing without deviating even a millimeter to the side, like robots. However, the wisdom of Kabbalah says the opposite. The more that people develop, their opinions become more divided and contradict each other.

About Israel, it is written, Talmud Babyli, “Masechet Berachot 58b”: To the degree that their faces differ, so their opinions also differ. And, this is good, as it is a sign of high development. It is necessary only to build love in the face of all of this, so that even though each one thinks differently, love will connect us.

We can take advantage of this heterogeneous condition that includes within it a multitude of different desires, thoughts, and opinions for the sake of our shared love, for the benefit of others, and for the benefit of all people. Each one will remain with a very rich view of the world and use it for the benefit of all the people.

Imagine how wonderful this will be. Our land will flower and grow immeasurably, for we don’t destroy the person and don’t make him into a robot who performs commands obediently.

Question: So, what will be the common denominator that will unite all of these different people?

Answer: The common denominator is our belonging to one people, and in order to elevate this unique people to a higher level, each one will use his unique opinion, “love covereth all transgressions.” Thanks to this, we will discover another level of reality, and will go out to a new, higher dimension.

Question: So, in what way is it possible to attain a stable existence of the people of Israel in the land of Israel?

Answer: It is through a tighter and tighter connection between us to the point of absolute love without any limits.

Again and again, we are subjected to pressure and threats that deprive us of peace, causing a feeling of helplessness and anxiety for our future.

I wonder, “Why did so much suffering befall my people? From where does so much hatred come towards Israel? …Why does this hatred keep coming back and become stronger?”

Our fathers and grandfathers experienced the horrors of Nazism and the complete indifference to our plight from the rest of the world.

Today, we are faced with a similar problem—the widespread growth of anti-Semitism is not met with sufficient counterbalance either at the national or at the social level.

Some believe that the worst is over, that today is different from yesterday, that in the modern enlightened world those slanders, those massive persecutions of the Jews, which took place in the distant and recent past, are impossible.

But it is not so.

We see how easily humanity returns to the same state—and again its forefinger points at us…

In this brochure, I tried to respond to the questions facing the people of Israel, all the Jews of the world, as well as to describe how to deal with the task that we’re entrusted with.

I have made every effort to speak concisely because I am well aware of how impatient our generation is.

I hope this booklet will benefit those who will read it. Interested parties can get more detailed and descriptive explanations on the site www.bundleofreeds.com

Question: In what way can unity and connection, about which you are always talking to the people of Israel, protect us from the enemies? In what way will it be different from every other unity if there is also unity among the people of Hamas?

Answer: The power of unity in Hamas is as in the Mafia that bands together for a common goal, a struggle with a common enemy, to jointly strike and kill it, to steal from it. This is an egoistic and limited power.

Here the second force is not present, only the ego is at work, but it becomes more uncompromising and unlimited. In this way a powerful and harmful unity is created.

Question: Who does it harm?

Answer: It harms everyone because it is evil in its nature.

But if the people of Israel connect with the help of the wisdom of Kabbalah, then it will generate the power of connection and unity from nature that is hidden within it. So it is impossible to get along here without the wisdom of Kabbalah.

This power is instinctively found in the still, vegetative and animate nature. Without it, the atoms, the molecules, living organisms, and the human body would not evolve.

But among us humans in human society, this power of connection doesn’t work. Therefore, all of humanity is searching for it. The example of this is the failed European union. They have not succeeded in creating a united Europe.

Everything is beginning to break down again on the threshold of World War III. In such conditions, anti-Semitism has grown more and more because the Jews have the key to connection; it is possible to attain unity with the help of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

The difference is in this, that we generate the power of connection and unity from nature, not through expanding our ego. This is not a unity of egoists who bring one big egoism; rather, it is something else entirely. We are united to discover the power of love among us. This power doesn’t harm anyone; it is not directed against someone. On the contrary, it wants to bring good to the entire world.

If we are searching for this power, then we find it, just as Abraham found it for his group of students that were gathered by him from among the Babylonians and became the people of Israel. In this manner, the same “collection of refugees” that we have today in our nation will become the people of Israel.

There is unifying force, which is directed against the rest of the world when some group wants to take control of the world: for example, to establish Islam everywhere. This force is harmful to everyone who is not part of this criminal alliance. And there is a positive unifying force power that is for the good of the world. After all, we want to find this power and transfer it for the benefit of all of humanity.

Question: Why do you think that the positive power of unity that we are creating in Israel can be victorious over the negative power of unity that links the entire Islamic world?

Answer: The power of unity that we are generating from our connection with the help of the method of Kabbalah is the higher power. Through it, we rise to the next level, which is above our earthly life. Plus and minus, egoism and love, balance each other, and within their relationship we feel a new life, a spiritual life.

In this way we acquire an immense spiritual force that is incomparable in its intensity to the egoistic force of our enemies.

Question: There is no spiritual force in their unity?

Answer: That is a power of hatred towards everything else. There cannot be anything spiritual in it.

Question: Let’s take a look at the moment of the creation of the Jewish nation and join Abraham’s group which left Babylon and moved towards the Land of Israel according to the principle of love thy neighbor as thyself. Have all these people already ascended to the spiritual level or has only their leader attained spirituality?

Answer: The whole nation knew what was going on and they felt the inner changes. But on the whole, their mutual connection wasn’t on such a high egoistic level yet so that the Upper Light that brings the inner attainment could be revealed in it. They only had general illuminations.

We can compare this to our level: to what extent does a rock, a flower, a rabbit, and man feel life? They all feel some sort of existence. It is hard to judge on the level of the still nature.

The vegetative does, however, feel life somehow. The animate level already has to move in order to establish a state of balance with the environment, and on this level, life is felt to a greater extent. A human being feels life even much more strongly.

It is the same here: When they came out of Babylon they were like the still nature of the spiritual creation. Then when they gathered and went down to Egypt they entered the next level of the ego, which by correcting it they began to feel their existence on the level of the vegetative.

This means that the spiritual reality is already felt by a person as life or death. The revelation of the Creator, as the sun from behind the clouds, and its light is life-giving and gives me the day that attracts me. I may also fall into night, and sink into a state of depression, etc.

Today, the whole world is in a state of depression, which means that people already begin to feel they lack something. They will be able to fill themselves and to replace the feeling of depression with positive feelings if the Light illuminates for them a little. The Light is the revelation of the Creator.

This is what Abraham’s students felt after the exodus from Egypt. They felt very clearly that they had to reveal the Creator since without that they would not be able to connect. In other words, their ego had grown so much that only the Creator that is revealed among them can help them overcome it. Gradually the group of Abraham turned into the group of Moses, and this state grew increasingly stronger in it.
