The survival of the people of Israel has always been dependent upon its unity. Therefore, now, more than ever, we must unite. If we rekindle the love among us, we will protect ourselves better than any “Iron Dome” will ever do. Moreover, unity will continue to protect us even when the storm subsides, endowing us with peace within, and the favor of the nations. (From the booklet, “Invitation to Unite”)

Question: You say that, through its internal separation, Israel influences the Arabs and awakens a hostile attitude in them. However, the Arabs don’t just attack us, they mercilessly kill each other.

Answer: The reason for this behavior is the separation of the people of Israel. This is what causes effects like these in other nations. Through our lack of correction, we also awaken a lack of correction in others, and because of this they behave cruelly.

Your correction or small deficiencies appear in them on a scale multiplied a million-fold. Suppose that you feel bad about your Jewish neighbor and distance from him about a millimeter. On the Arab side, they begin to kill and slaughter each other. Do at least a drop of good for your neighbor, and the Arabs also will calm down, and it could be that they even will begin to perform good deeds.

Israel is the bottleneck, the source of what is happening, the pipe that conveys the Light, a good attitude to other people, and if we close this pipe of Light, we become the reason for all the problems.

Question: Does it follow that all of the relationships between us in Israel radiate to the relationships of other people, which grow on the scale of millions?

Answer: Israel is the faucet that manages everything. We open this faucet a little and streams of goodness flow to the world, and if we close it through our bad behavior, then the world is left without Light and screams that Israel is harmful to the world.

Such small changes in us, in our faucet, awaken positive or negative changes in the entire world on a grand scale.

Question: You want to say that my bad relationship to citizens is radiated to other people a million times over, as if through a powerful magnifying glass or a loudspeaker, for example, to Syria, the Ukraine, and so forth.

Answer: They not only fall upon each other, but they also come to us with accusations, for they feel from where this relationship comes. They see in us the reason for their hostile behavior in their relationships to one another and the reason for all their troubles, and they unconsciously bring this hatred back to us, because it is our fault they are hostile.

This is a law of nature, and it is not important if humanity understands it or not. It feels the same thing unconsciously and acts accordingly.

My bad relationship with a neighbor comes back at me like a boomerang, multiplied many times and revealed in the form of the hatred of the Arabs toward Israel and the missiles that are sent in our direction. We cannot determine this unambiguously: Now, I looked askance at my neighbor and, in another moment, an air raid siren is heard. This is a closed system, complex and integral, but, specifically within it, there is such a connection.

We only need to begin to connect, and we will see how, thanks to this, the world will be different. Perhaps it won’t be immediate, but, after some time, everything will begin to calm down.

From the book The Essential Secret of the Jews, M. Brushtein.

“Fundamental Principles of the Integral Theory”

Researchers of the past and present are unanimous.

The human being is a creature that emerged in a group, is developing and evolving in a collective.

Moreover, his social nature is inherent even in the very word “man.”

Literally, a man is a member of a tribe or family.

So, human beings, as well as animals, are creatures which are social, public, and one might even say, collective. The question is what is the difference between them?

In contrast to the “animal collective,” human society does not stand still. It is constantly evolving. In what ways?  An example is in the change in social formations.

A socio-economic formation, in the words of Marx, is a historically determined state in the development of human society.

What formation didn’t humanity endure?! Below are listed the brief definitions of basic social structures and systems.

• The primitive communal society is a primary archaic formation characterized by common ownership of the means of production, collective labor and consumption, and the low level of productive forces.
• The slave society is a formation characterized by private ownership of the means of production and direct producers; the main classes of slave society are slaves and masters.
• Feudalism is a socio-economic formation, which replaced slavery, and was based on feudal ownership of land and the exploitation of peasants, who were in a condition of bondage.
• Capitalism is the type of socio-economic system that emerged in the late Middle Ages, and is currently prevailing in most industrialized countries. The common features of capitalism are generally considered private ownership of the means of production and competition.
• In the words of Karl Marx, socialism is the first phase of communism, a social system which replaces capitalism and is based on public ownership of the instruments of labor and means of production.
• Fascism (Italian “fascismo,” from “fascio” – beam, bunch, association) is a form of movements and political dictatorship, characterized by violence against the masses through a comprehensive political mechanism.

Throughout history, humankind related differently to the change in the social scenery. In any case, many believe that the Jews have something to do with it.

Romans and their empire seem no more than a bubble compared to the Jews. They (the Jews) have given religion to three-quarters of humanity and have influenced historical events to a greater degree than any other nation, ancient or modern.

However, it doesn’t really matter whether or not Jews have influenced historical processes. What’s more important is that humanity is evolving and evolving continuously. The question is what awaits us? Abraham was sure that the endpoint is unity and an interdependent humanity. Sooner or later we will learn whether Abraham was right or not. However, today, looking back, we see an obvious increase of collective tendencies.

In the beginning, a person was associated only with his family. Then he “became connected” with the master, then the feudal lord, his country, and today with the whole world. The problem is that these processes occurred and occur unconsciously, under the influence of external conditions.

Question: Almost every one of us is sure that he knows very well how to run the country and what he would do instead of the Ministers or the Prime Minister. Today there is a truly difficult task before us, to restore quiet to the nation. We are analyzing the situation, suggesting various ideas and solutions. How do you see the situation that has been created? How would you define it?

Answer: Any person with a healthy common sense sees a small nation found in a very hostile environment. And since our enemies are Arabs, it is worthwhile for us to learn about their mentality.

This is talking about a very ancient, uncompromising, and petulant people who know how to stand on their own and get their way, if not today, then in a thousand years, it doesn’t matter. They have sufficient patience, stamina, and endurance. If they have a goal, then they simply advance towards it, ready to maintain their direction in the coming moment and for another thousand years until they achieve their result.

They have a goal which is to take the land into their hands, including Jerusalem, as we know. And besides this, the Jewish people and the Arabs are very close in their origins, and in spite of this, the Arabs are accustomed to disregard us. They adopted particular things from the people of Israel like the Christians did, and since then they hate us because we Jews have lost the connection with our roots. But from our side we assume that there is a chance of changing the situation.

It could be that this is derived from the Ashkenazi that founded the state of Israel according to their sense of things, without becoming deeply familiar with the people who lived here. The founders thought that it was possible to be friends with the Arabs, to be good neighbors so as to develop together with them and thrive on the basis of equality and mutual understanding. All this was very strange to the Arab people and in their opinion unacceptable, for their mentality is absolutely different. There were no points of contact between the two peoples, they could not “digest” each other.

But for some reason we continue to hope. I don’t understand the source of this strange hope that we are ready to make peace with our neighbors, for there to be coexistence between two peoples who help and support each other and visit one another as good neighbors.

They don’t think this way at all, and they are not prepared to compromise; according to their understanding this is simply not plausible. Even in Europe they are gradually conquering the nations that give them refuge and are devouring the people who live there in order to make room for them only. They need to take control, period. No less and no more. Even if this will take hundreds or thousands of years, that is not terrible. At the end of the matter their final goal is to wave the green flag of Islam above the whole earth.

That is how they advance in life. There are places where they succeed in invading more and there are places where they invade less. They have entered Russia in a very organized and precise manner, quietly but steadily. They join the army, penetrating everywhere, they are ready to settle even in Siberia and they establish for themselves spiritual and social centers everywhere.

They know how to work with the local population; they gradually convert them into the Muslim religion. This expansion is taking place at a different rate in Russia, in Europe, and in America.

We recognize this trend all over the world, and the time has come to compare it to what is happening with us, to understand that we and the Arabs will never be friends. They will always be eager to throw us out for better or for worse. And we must constantly contend with them in order to remain here. And if we were to leave already, it must be to a place where they cannot touch us.

In principle, the Arabs are not against the Jews, as was common among the Christians. No, they are not so much anti-Semitic as anti-Israel. It is impossible to say that they hate the Jews more than other peoples. They hate the nation of Israel, for in their eyes this is an artificial “creation.” But if we leave here they will not hurt us. Beyond that, they would stop the assaults on Jews living abroad. For if Israel didn’t exist, then there would be no need to fight against us either.

So Arab hatred is directed not against the Jews, but against the nation of Israel, and this hatred will never be extinguished. In spite of all the arguments that we invent, in spite of all the quotations from the Koran that speak in support of the Jews, in the present situation nothing will help. They know only one thing, that all those who are living here must fold everything up and leave or they must slaughter them. These are the moral values of the Arab people; a knife for them is like a part of their hand.

So this war will never stop. On the contrary, we are talking about an endless war that has no solution and is conducted by different means. This is recognized, it is known to many investigators and to people all over the world who understand something.

I have no good news for the people or the leaders of the country if they still develop vain hopes about this. If we are talking about the existence of the nation of Israel, it is up to us to arm ourselves and be a number of steps ahead of our neighbors all the time, to always be ready for war so that we can stop them immediately, for we have nowhere to retreat.

During a war we don’t have room or time to maneuver, for world opinion is always pressuring us, tying our hands and not making it possible to stop the military operations to provide quiet for ourselves for ten or twenty years. The world loves it when we strike our enemies, but they know that at some point they must stop it for us. Many nations solve their problems with our help and after we finish our job, they immediately stop us and oblige us to sign peace agreements, as a result it imposes we are losing.

If we look at the situation realistically, we find ourselves retreating from security more and more. Every year it is becoming more and more difficult for us to guarantee the existence of the nation. The international position regarding us is becoming more and more rigid, and soon we will find ourselves without external support.

Even the United States is alienating itself from us and also encourages other nations to do so. This accustoms us to rely upon ourselves alone. It is clear that the American Jews support this policy because they suffer from a problem of identity, identification. They would prefer that the nation of Israel would cease to exist, for then nobody would blame them for supporting the nation of Israel.

So we find ourselves isolated from the whole world. This is no longer just a conflict with our neighbors. Incidentally, alliances against Israel are also expanding among them, and as a result of this the entire Muslim world participates in our wars (to one degree or another). Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt, all these nations are involved in what is happening today. In addition to all of these, Europe and America are also exerting pressure on us.

If this continues, I don’t know what will happen to us in the next war or in the next campaign, according to what is happening to us today. This time, the United States is openly acting against us. I don’t mean with words, but with deeds. They temporarily closed our airspace, stopped us from destroying the military infrastructure of Hamas and so forth. Generally, the Americans maintain the situation so that the fire can break out again the moment that they want it. But we want to reduce the military threat for a while, to stop the transfer of weapons into Gaza. In brief, I don’t see a chance for the future if we continue to behave as previously. Nevertheless, I don’t see any problem with our continuing to live in peace and quiet, in connection and fellowship with all of our neighbors, not only with them but with all the nations of the world.

It is clear that as of today, every nation depends upon both its neighbors and the whole world. But the solution is found with us, the key is in our hands. After all, we are prepared to change the world so that the spirit of connection, understanding, friendship, contact and even mutual love will permeate everything and obligate all peoples, all nations, to join in a general movement of connection.

This possibility, this remedy is found specifically with the people of Israel. And it is up to us to teach how to activate the good power of connection. It descends upon us, or the opposite, it arises from us, filling everyone and obligating us to reach good, humane ties with everyone.

The whole world requires this. In the Middle Eastern conflict, and in general in the overall development of humanity, we have reached a general internal and external crisis. It extends among the nations and in relationships between nations so much so that we are standing on the threshold of World War III. It is clear to everyone that the situation is dangerous, but we are not ready to stop ourselves. The natural development of human society has rolled along to conditions that are similar to what existed on the eve of the First and Second World Wars. Also today as then, the process is irreversible. Even though we don’t want to enter into war, without a choice we are deteriorating into a state of war and are very close to it.

World-renowned experts suggest this, but they have no solution to the problem. For the first time in history, the general human development indicates that we are advancing towards World War III. We understand but together with this, we see that we are not prepared to resist it, as if a force from Above is building the situation and pushing us into the abyss.

Together with this, it is good that we identify this state in advance and understand the hopelessness of the state that is being created. For at this point the people of Israel can offer the world the method of connection, the method of correction of human society that will prevent war.

Otherwise the Arab-Israeli conflict will seem like something small if the “Arab Spring” extends all over the world. As of today, opposition between large blocks is beginning to be formed: West and East, China, and South America. And in continuation a major conflict between Islam and Christianity will take place. And we will be in the middle. Not only historians have spoken about this, but also our sources….

Question: Is there a threat of religious war?

Answer: A war of civilizations; a war of human purpose. There is a division into large bodies where each has a particular idea about the purpose of creation, the place of their existence within the general system. This is also connected to material values, world control, and spiritual control including spiritual symbols that are perceived by them as something eternal, as of supreme value.

So only we, Israel, can break through the trend, awakening the fundamental positive force of nature, the power that vitalizes it. This can fill all of humanity and awaken it to connection. The essence of this power is connection. So it vitalizes, activates the nature of the still, vegetative, and animate and can also awaken the level of the speaking, provided that we awaken in order to catch and absorb it.

Question: Arabs are feuding not only with Israel, but also among themselves. Civil wars are going on in many Arab countries in which they ruthlessly destroy their own brethren with all types of weapons, even chemical. It becomes clear that bad connections between people are destroying the world.

Answer: In addition, industry and trade are linked in such a negative way that we are destroying the earth, exhausting natural resources. We are killing ourselves by our own egoism, which divides us and forces us to fight.

What destroys our lives today in the 21^st century is a bad connection between people. If someone can show an example of good connection between people, he will become a positive factor affecting the world, a good force, and this is the purpose of the state of Israel. No one else can bring the world to peace, except Israel.

The world is in a global crisis that has gripped absolutely everyone. This crisis will only grow, expand, and deepen, absorbing us into itself. It is like a pit that opens in the ground under our feet, where we will fall one by one.

We do not yet feel this crisis to such an extent, but we already understand that we have no leverage to correct it, and are not able to control it. Humanity is helpless before this crisis and cannot cope with it. This is the crisis of the family, of a person’s relationship to the world, to his neighbor, to his children, and to nature.

This is a crisis of nature itself, of climate. We are losing hope for life, the form of our existence, its purpose. People are gripped by such despair that they don’t understand what to live for. And here, there is an opinion, gradually formed in the world that the whole problem is in the Jews, and namely in Israel …

This hatred of the Jews, the usual anti-Semitism and the newborn “anti-Israelism,” will not stop, but will only increase. One must understand that these grievances against the Jews come from nature itself. Therefore, we must examine them and find out how “fair” they are.

If we refer to the sources with this question, i.e., the wisdom of Kabbalah, which is the true Torah, the basis of the nation of Israel, its creation and organization thousands of years ago, we will see that the grievances are correct.

Kabbalah explains why the nations of the world hate Israel. After all, it should be a light to all the nations, it should shine to all seven billion. It is his duty, for which it exists on this earth.

There is no such nationality as “Jew”! There are French, Spanish, Russian, British, but the people of Israel are no ordinary people. Anyone in the world who wants to convert to Judaism and join the people of Israel, becomes a Jew. He supports unity (Ehud) and hence is called a Jew (Yehudi).

Question: Did Israel convey abundance and Light to the worlds in the past?

Answer: Israel have never conveyed abundance to the worlds because it wasn’t our role. We are in an evolutionary process that started with Adam HaRishon, a time that was merely a preparation.

Then Abraham began to organize the pioneer force of all of humanity. He made an appeal and began to teach the people of Babylon and wrote books, as Rambam wrote.

He didn’t simply take them out from Babylon to the land of Canaan, but did great spiritual work. It seems that he didn’t do it by himself, but he had many helpers assisting him, although it doesn’t say so anywhere. Abraham is the symbol of a whole generation, the house of Abraham. He did great work in Babylon. There wasn’t one person in Babylon who didn’t know about it.

Rambam wrote: “Abraham was forty years old when he came to know his Maker. He began to speak to all the people and to let them know that there is one God in the world and that they should worship Him. He used to go from one city to the next and from one kingdom to another and call and gather hundreds of thousands. These are the people of the house of Abraham. He implanted this great principle in their hearts and wrote books, and this process intensified in the sons in Jacob and in those who accompanied them, and a whole nation was created that knows the Lord.”

This means that it was a long whole process, and Abraham needed time in order to go through Babylon and organize his group and gather thousands of disciples. This means that the people, the souls, that were connected to the level Abraham operated on, received his message and began to act too.

Babylon corrected itself. One adhered to Abraham and followed him and another according to his desire, decided to draw away from Abraham. It is the same today when each one fulfills his own desire and chooses his own way.

Then they dispersed in every direction, according to their desires, and gathered in different groups, tribes. This is the way the world exists until this very day, but Abraham’s group had to fulfill itself and so they built the First Temple, the first step in their spiritual correction.

Immediately afterward they began to fall, since the moment you attain a certain level and fulfill it in the spiritual world, a new state immediately begins. So they began to descend: they were exiled and then returned to the land of Israel in order to stabilize the vessel on the level of Hassadim, which was the Second Temple.

The Second Temple was also destroyed. Rabbi Akiva knew this was destined to happen. He laughed at the destruction of the Second Temple since he was glad that the time of the end of correction was coming.

On the one hand, he cried out and said that people should keep the rule of love thy friend as thyself. They had to hold on to this love and unity. This means that he cried for his disciples and for the great efforts he had invested in them, but they fell to unfounded hatred. On the other hand, he knew that that was the way it had to be and was glad that the time of the next phase had come, the phase of correction.

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

“Fundamental Principles of the Integral Theory”

The Postulates Of The Theory of Integrality

The human being stands out from the animal world due to his intellect.

The human being is primarily an animal.

It is difficult to force oneself to stop for a moment to reflect and become aware of what is happening.

The human being cannot yet become consciously involved in evolutionary processes.

Ideally, people should know their roles in the general system.

Question: The wisdom of Kabbalah claims to have the solution to all of Israel’s wars. What is the connection between these wars and Kabbalah?

Answer: On the whole, Kabbalah is the method of revealing the higher system of governance and providence over all reality. We’re talking about a system of Infinity that spans across five levels of “restriction” down to our world, and controls it.

Essentially, the wisdom of Kabbalah reveals this entire gigantic system, the level of Infinity and all that lies below: the levels of Adam Kadmon, Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, and Assiya, down to our world. And it explains how these forces arrive from Above, from the level of Infinity, like spheres folded one into another. And as a result, our universe, Earth, and ourselves constitute the smallest sphere, which is also the focus of all these forces, of all the worlds along with everything that comprises them.

What is the purpose of this? To bring man to the desired path of development. To help him to develop via his own efforts and acquire a special desire, which is essentially the desire to become the master, one who understands, feels, and activates this entire system in place of the upper force.

Thus, all the things Nature sends our way are meant to awaken us to this—to push us to take the system’s activation into our own hands. In essence, that is what we reveal. However, in order to set this system in motion correctly, we need to learn and know a great deal; moreover, we ourselves need to upgrade, to correct ourselves. A gangster mustn’t be trusted with running a hospital. A crook mustn’t be tasked with running a bank. A person with vile inclinations mustn’t be made school principal.

In other words, the level of access to the spiritual worlds depends on the level of man’s development. By taking part in governance from Above, one takes upon oneself some part of it and activates it independently, making sure there is no difference between the commands coming down from Above and those passing through him.

The entire system is structured in a way that in the end we must undertake the governance of the level (world) of Infinity. We the people have to govern all of reality, including the degree of our world, to as if block any commands coming down from the Infinity. On the foundation of knowledge, understanding, and self-perfection we will correct ourselves to such an extent that we’ll truly be able to assume this role of governance and act in place of the upper force.

That is the process in general terms. And there are two options with which to lead us along:

• We can correct ourselves and slot into this system willingly, with acceptance, good sense, and determination, by igniting this fire within.
• Those upper forces of Nature that man should have replaced but didn’t pressure him, leading him through painful states.

This doesn’t mean we can already explain how and why the world is experiencing outbreaks of wars, pandemics, and other disasters. We are not familiar with the system; indeed, we are very far from being familiar with it. But if we were familiar, we would see that it is we who provoke all the problems, from the minor and personal to the great and global. We provoke them by not compensating the upper system, by not taking on the governance of reality in its place.

Question: What exactly is the purpose of the war for the nation of Israel? How does it facilitate the process of development?

Answer: As a rule, war leaves us with a negative impression. If the impression is a positive one, and we feel pride and the joy of victory, as it was after the Six Day War, for instance, then on one hand, it is good, but on the other, the deficiency from the former state of rapture is revealed over time. In the end, the Six Day War caused us great harm: We decided that everything was good and we didn’t need to work on our own relationships, to progress as a people, and correct ourselves.

Question: But in our wars we always defend against enemy attacks, being forced to fight so as to defend ourselves?

Answer: That is true. But we also need to see it from a different angle. By the late 19th century we have begun returning to the land of Israel, which, by the way, was called “Palestine” at the time. And ever since then the people that had lived here have had a problem with us. They also want to return to what they believe is their home.

If you look at the issue from the side, were we within our right to claim the territory of another nation, driving out a portion of it and settling here? On what grounds do we believe this land to be ours? On the grounds that our ancestors had lived here two thousand years ago? But it was they that had lived here, and not us.

What were the conditions of their living here? If we’re referring to history, let us check. It is said, quite simply: The Jewish people must be united as one man with one heart, by the principle of loving your neighbor as yourself. To prepare and carry out this condition, they needed forty years. Only then were they ready to enter the land of Israel, which became a place where we could live.

In the ancient times we drove seven nations from this land, and although this was a decree that came down from the Creator, it was also accompanied by a very serious discussion: Was it our right to act in such a manner?

On the whole, history shows that when we are truly united, then we live on this territory called the “land of Israel.” The era of the Temple was one of true unity among the children of Israel. But then came the descent, and we fell to brotherly strife, losing the connection between one another,meaning our spiritual degree. And that is why we were exiled from here to Babylon.

There we spent seventy years in exile and then, thanks to the events known as Purim, we were able to genuinely unite once again. How? We were faced with a dilemma: Either we would be destroyed, or we would unite as per the will of Mordecai and Esther, and thus defeat Haman and his retinue. We were successful, and returned to the land of Israel, rising in our unity to the degree of the Second Temple, albeit losing ten tribes in the process. Just look at the heavy price we pay for our disunion.

The unity of the Second Temple lasted only several years. In the time of Rabbi Akiva, new defects began manifesting. He did all he could, appealing to us to love thy neighbor as yourself, “Let’s do it! For otherwise we are doomed!” But it didn’t help. 24,000 of his students plunged into a true egoistic epidemic, a fratricidal war, and the Second Temple was subsequently ruined, driving the people back into exile.

So, if we are not united, we are not the nation of Israel. This has been the case since Abraham, who had gathered and led his group from Ancient Babylon, which represented essentially all of humanity at that time. Abraham invited to come along everybody who wanted to go to the land of Israel, to become as one man with one heart, to unite and reveal the upper force. As the Rambam writes, he was joined by five thousand followers, and he united them, laying the foundation of the nation thereby.

Therefore, at our very source we were given a very straightforward condition: no matter how different we may be, if we wish to become like the Creator, to aspire to Him (Israel stands for Yashar Kel — “straight to the Creator”), to acquire love and bestowal, in then we constitute that very notion of the nation of Israel. It is not inherited by birth. Rather, if a person undertakes this condition upon himself, he joins the nation of Israel, and if he does not, then he does not belong to them.

This means that the nation of Israel exists only in unity, only in the work towards unification, with the objective to become similar to the force of love and bestowal, the upper force.

Accordingly, the land of Israel is such only under the condition that the true nation of Israel inhabits it. If not, then it is Palestine, named after the Philistines that had lived here in the times of the first conquest three thousand years ago. In fact, without the nation of Israel being here, you can call it anything at all.

Getting back, in the late 19th century we were granted permission to come here, even though we had not gone through the “forty years in the desert,” —had not corrected ourselves and united. Moreover, we continued internecine infighting, as evidenced by the Altalena Affair and all that it entailed. Essentially, we arrived in this land in a state that’s actually pushing us to leave it.

Yet, despite the lack in preparation, we were allotted a certain time frame to correct ourselves. And if we accomplish this within said time frame, the land of Israel will become ours. Indeed, in such a case we will achieve a degree of unity of the nation of Israel, and the land will therefore correspond to its intended purpose. Such is the opportunity that we can put into effect.

So far, however, a different scenario is playing out. It’s been more than a century, and we have yet to realize the purpose of our return, have yet to understand what true nation of Israel should be like in its land. We remain nothing more than a collection of exiles, and this is not the land of Israel, for it has none of the moral principles or laws related to the notion I’m speaking now not about the laws of the Torah, but about the sole law governing our relationships: love thy neighbor as thyself. It must be a supreme canon for us.

If there’s no brotherly love among us, then instead of the good providence we suffer the distortions triggered by our faulty participation in the operation of the general system of forces. The results are clear: endless wars and problems. And the outcome is obvious: When the deadline passes for the opportunity we’ve been given, we’re going to need to leave this

Question: What exactly must the nation do concerning the principle of love thy neighbor as thyself? How do we correctly arrange the social systems, laws, and so on? Might it be enough to simply be a normal, prospering nation, and nothing more?

Answer: No. We can never be “normal” in the eyes of the world. Just the opposite, we have always been abnormal, always playing the role of strangers. There is but one condition presented to us—to unite and thus serve as an example for the whole world. That is the meaning of being a “light to the nations.”

Today we do not share a connection imbued with brotherly love. We are engaged in conflicts and competition among ourselves, we feel hatred, repulsion, indifference, and loathing for one another. This negativity goes deep down, and it is truly the cause of all wars and After all, we claim to be that same nation that came out of Ancient Babylon. So why do we not observe the laws upon which it was built?

The nation of Israel is possible only if we observe the condition of unity, by creating the appropriate mechanism of relationships in the entire society, and also by caring that the world come to unity as well. The global crisis is not accidental—it was caused precisely by disconnection. And whose fault is it that the world is lacking the right kind of adhesion?

Who’s depriving it of harmony in the relations between people and harmony with Nature? Only the nation of Israel. After all, it is this nation which must lead by example and teach others about unity.

And if we don’t, the nations of the world accuse us of robbery: “You have driven Arabs from this land, the people who used to live here, but you are not doing anything to justify it, you are not realizing your mission. We supported you ardently at first, thinking that your return will help you to actualize your main condition. But today we see that you’ve become a bone stuck in the throat of the world….”

One might think, why are we put to such a high standard? But we cannot view the nation of Israel through the typical criteria. Israel is special, and even though we try to be like everybody else, we are doomed to fail from the start. If you want to be like everybody else, don’t be Jewish.

Indeed, the mission of the nation of Israel is to be the good teacher for the world. And if that doesn’t happen, it will be accused for being a bad example and blamed for all the world’s problems. We have always been the butt of a natural, instinctive hatred, and that alone testifies of our special role. So, let us see what exactly we are capable of and what the nations are truly demanding of us.

We can only balance the situation with the right example of unification, which will allow us to resolve the crisis.

Question: What can we lean on to not be like everybody else? That is a difficult task.

Answer: Lean on the wisdom of Kabbalah. That is why it is being revealed in our world, and explaining what has to be done. With its help we can correct the nation of Israel and the whole world, for it allows us to use the upper force to arrange everything in proper order. It is indeed the pillar that will grant us confidence.

Question: Are you trying to say that rockets will not cease until I begin to love every Israeli like my own child? This means that this situation is absolutely hopeless because there is no chance that this condition can be carried out.

Answer: What if you suddenly discover that all the people of Israel are as close to you as your own children, that they are that closely connected to you and you to them? Suddenly, your vision would expand to such an extent that you would feel that they are a part of you and far more inseparable than your own children. If a miracle happens and a perception of this connection suddenly appears within you, would it be hard for you to love them?

Now, you love your children so much that they are more dear to you than your own life. However, suddenly, a feeling appears in you that you begin to feel other people, all the Jews living in Israel, like your own dear children. You would feel that they are closely connected to you, and depend on you and you on them.

It would be impossible to break this connection because they became closer to you than your own children. Also, you would always worry about them like they were your children. You would want to always be connected to them with your entire heart and soul. This situation simply would force you always to think about them and care for the love and connection so that everyone would be happy.

Today, you are driven by your love for your children, which was given to you by nature. Similarly, nature will beget a love for your entire nation within you, and you will care for every one of them and want to do well by everyone. At the same time, you will receive an opportunity to help everyone, and you will relax.

Every person will feel this way toward everyone else because they will perceive the others as a part of them. The fact that everyone is in his own body will not matter. Your children also have physical bodies, but you still care for them like for yourself. You want them to be happy and you will perceive everyone else the same way, in other words, to feel like they are even closer than that.

No one expects that you will make this happen immediately, but do not think that it is impossible. If our connection suddenly becomes revealed, this will become possible.

Question: However, human nature dictates that there is no one closer to a person than himself!

Answer: This is exactly why you will care for them once you feel like they are an inseparable part of you. Obviously, this is not a natural state, but it can happen just like when a woman births a child and begins to care constantly for him since he becomes her most dear part and more important than her own life.

Nature makes it happen, and it can make us love everyone else like our own self. This definitely will happen one day.

We must understand that the only way to end the Qassams is though the connection between us. Our unity will relax our neighbors and even turn them from enemies into our most loyal and closest friends, and the entire world, which is now standing behind them and will not allow anyone to touch them.

You soon will see how we will be required to cease fire and stop in the middle of this operation. We will not be able to complete it. The threat will remain, and tens of thousands of rockets will be aimed constantly at us.

However, if we unite, the entire world will change and say that they feel that we are their closest friends and that they want to be with us and will connect to us with their heart and soul. Through unity, we become the Light to the nations. We show them how to rise above their egoism, which never stops ruling over everyone and does not let go of entire nations and countries, this entire planet.

We can show everyone an example through our unity and teach them how to rise above their egoism. Then, our life will become peaceful and happy, and we hold the key to this life.

The nations of the world understand this subconsciously, and they blame Israel for bringing harm to the entire world and are to blame for all the world’s problems. The people of Israel do not see the connection, but other nations feel that this connection exists. To them, it is clear that Israel is the source of evil. This is their way of saying that Israel can be the source of all goodness, but is not carrying out its responsibilities.

The only way to disarm Hamas is by uniting between us within the nation of Israel. This way, we will stop supplying the world with an evil force. The entire world is blaming us for causing them harm. We are the channel through which bad energy flows out into the world.

People who have had no connection to Israel, who are on the opposite side of the world and do not share any borders with Israel, insist on this. They feel this subconsciously. This is their way of saying that Israel can be a source of good energy. If you want the wars to stop, to become the source of goodness, do good to the entire world.

The world only lacks connection, a friendly attitude toward other people: love. At least, do not do the things that you hate to others, and only Israel can bring this attitude to the world, under the condition that they follow it first. Let us begin with not wishing bad things to our neighbors!

Question: What connection is required of us? Is it the same thoughts and opinions?

Answer: How is each of us connected with their children? Do we have the same thoughts and opinions as they do? However, love will cover all sins!

Comment: This is quite true, but we are quite different in our home. Even twins are different. Therefore, it is impossible to reach the same opinion, yet we are very connected and close to each other. I do not know how it happens, but we are united by hearts.

Answer: It is that you love your children, despite all the differences between you. This is the kind of connection that is called “Love covers all transgressions.”

Question: Does it turn out that everyone can stay with his views, left or right?

Answer: Of course. If my children do not share my views, does this reduce my love for them? No! They are totally unrelated things. Similarly, it is in relation to other people.

Question: The last war revealed sharp differences among the people, between left and right, hardliners and peacekeepers. If we achieve unity of the people, will everyone be able to have his opinion?

Answer: In any case, I will feel one man with one heart, regardless of the differences in our views. Love between us must be paramount to bring us to unity, to the connection of one man with one heart, and under all that, if we have differences, that’s not so bad.

Question: However, if there is a disagreement of opinion, is it very hard to connect?

Answer: Suppose that there are differences, but the “One who creates peace in heaven will unite us.” We finally will understand how to do this. You just need to begin to act. There is no need to try to understand everything in advance. We are not capable of this now. So, we should just start to work, to unite with each other, to participate in workshops and discussions in circles.

Thus, we will discover that even though we are all different and distant from each other, despite this, we can build a common center of feeling. In this overall experience, we feel together as one heart for everyone.

When we are sitting together and talking, everyone trying to get out of himself and become integrated with others, in the center of our connection, we turn into one person with one heart. By this, we will open the tap, and the Light is shed through such a united group to the entire world.

If ten men of the people of Israel try to unite in this way, then as a result, millions of people of the nations of the world will feel that their lives are improving and thus, will change their attitude toward Israel, and if the world’s opinion changes, Hamas will not be able to do anything against us!

Question: What hope can you give us to solve this crisis?

Answer: I do not give any hope, but I am giving you an effective tool, the tool to unite people. What is required from us is not faith, but action. I wish us luck!
