Opinion (Adelaide Sigidov, journalist): “Historians have compared the current situation in the world with the events of a century ago and came to the conclusion that the beginning of a new world cannot be avoided. Today, no one wants war, but no country ever wanted a war; nevertheless it occurs – this is a paradox of history. Ambitions are higher than political expediency.

“Starting a war was the idea of punishing a neighboring country. All the countries were sure that they would do very little fighting – that it was in the local interest.

“The USA entered the war after everyone else – and lost only a hundred people, and Europe – 10 million.

“The war led to the destruction of four monarchies, replaced one technological way of life with another.

“The goal of the US is to break up the European Union; with it we are heading toward the third world war. Russia is in a situation similar to that of Germany after its defeat in World War I: a third of its territory has been annexed; it is morally humiliated, penance is being imposed on it; Russia must regain the territories, zones of influence, money. To prevent the onset of World War III, other countries should give it this voluntarily.”

My Comment: Baal HaSulam writes about the third and fourth world wars, which will occur if Jews and Kabbalists cannot cause a positive change in the world by bringing people and nations closer together.

Question: What is this ideological war that you are talking about?

Answer: We are in an ideological war against enemies. It doesn’t matter what the politicians think and say from either side.

It is important to explain to everyone that what is happening is not a confrontation between the state of Israel and the Palestinians, the Hamas, or even the world that is opposing us.

All wars come from the Creator! In the meantime, we are fighting against the Creator, but we must transform these wars into peace and wholeness. It must be known and explained to everyone that, in the meantime, all of these states are given to us in the form of opportunities to go in the way of the Light, “I will hasten it” (Achishena), and to not deviate toward the way of suffering, which is the natural process of development, “in its time” (Beito).

We are compelled to disseminate this knowledge to the world. What will happen after that doesn’t depend upon us anymore, but we must do everything that we can. At these times, it is easier to awaken the hearts of the people, because from this point forward, people lose hope in the possibility of solving the conflict.

Before this, we still hoped that, with the modern means of defense, the “Iron Dome,” we would guarantee a good future for ourselves and thrive. In our world today, no hope remains for a material solution. Only thanks to spiritual advancement is it possible to continue to exist.

No military successes will be prepared to “extinguish” feelings of powerlessness and lack of resolution among the people. These feelings still remain in us because we have entered into a new stage of higher management. Today’s war is a war of world views. A weapon is not victorious; rather, it is the opinion, what the world thinks of you and what the enemy thinks about you.

We see that we cannot use all of our military might. Our hands are tied. We cannot throw missiles and do whatever we want because there are people there, and the entire world is watching and following our every step!

So, we cannot afford to fight, and we don’t need to be naive and think that we have military power. We have no power. We are in the hands of the world. We feel and know how it relates to us. So, for the people of Israel, there is only one solution: to explain to the world where we have come and what, in fact, our true situation is.

The entire world also requires a large correction and feels powerless. This is specifically the moment when we must go out and make a dissemination attack.

Question: During a military operation, the daily task is always determined. What is our plan for today? What do we want to achieve?

Answer: The task for today is to disseminate throughout Israel the knowledge about the true cause of our human condition. Everyone must have a single direction: connection, to be as one person with one heart.

It is possible to reach this through the Light that Reforms, and, so, dissemination of this knowledge must come from us so that, through us, everyone will be connected to the Creator.

This is not a short attack. Rather, it is a constant mission, a continuous operation, open to everyone, without any concealment or secrets, without evasion and adornments. The main thing is that the explanation be as clear and understandable as possible for the people, to touch their hearts. It should be clear that this only true solution comes from the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Question: How will the people of Israel feel after they want to be as one person with one heart?

Answer: The people will feel an entirely different state and will finally understand who they are, the role for which they are destined, and what they must do regarding all the nations of the world. It will be clear to them that Israel is the conduit, the adapter, between the entire world and the Creator. And what the relationship must be among the people of Israel in order to be this kind of transitional link in regard to the others, and how to act with them after we are connected inside will follow.

Everyone must know that our success is possible only as a single unit. Only this assures us success in this mission, in this war. If we connect and unite, then we win, and only in this way can we be saved from threats and blows.

There is no other solution, and, the moment that we truly begin to work on it correctly, we immediately will see how much the entire world, including our closest enemies, will be changed. Come, let’s try and see. We don’t have anything to lose! The Torah promises us that either you will be like one person with one heart or here will be your burial place, as it was at Mount Sinai.

These conditions have existed until now, because they are indeed eternal and have accompanied us throughout all of our history. However, now the time has truly come for action, a broad operation throught the entire nation.

Baal HaSulam, “The Love for the Creator and Love for the Created Beings”: Now we can answer the question, “Why the Torah was given to the Israeli nation without the participation of all the nations of the world?”

Thus, because of their ancestral merit Israel succeeded, and over 400 years they developed and became qualified and sentenced themselves to a scale of merit. Each and every member of the nation agreed to love his fellow man. Being a small and single nation among seventy great nations, when there are a hundred gentiles or more for every one of Israel, when they had taken upon themselves to love their fellow person, the Torah was then given specifically to qualify the Israeli nation.

Thus, it is not at all about any “specific condition.” It’s about the same spiritual vessel that has developed as a result of the four stages of the Direct Light (HaVaYaH). Later, it was processed at each of the 125 steps in five worlds and then shattered into numerous particles.

Broken pieces revealed in ancient Babylon, but at that time only a small part of the Babylonians (those who had broken desires and properties) managed to wake up for self-correction. It was done under the influence of a very small Light that was attained and brought to them by Abraham. Only the purest Babylonian vessels, desires, managed to adhere to them. Why? It happened because the desires lacked the depth, Aviut.

Five thousand followers departed together with Abraham from Babylon. They began mixing with each other and this interaction generated a new developmental stage, a new thickness of desires that occurred during the Egyptian exile.

At that time, they acquired a huge desire for correction. During Babylonian times, it was enough for them just to leave, but later they had to rise above the four new layers that were personified by the four hundred years of exile. For that, they needed more Light.

Pharaoh brought the children of Israel closer to the Creator because the huge depth of the desires received from him required the Returning Light.

This is when the children of Israel were granted the Torah – the methodology of correction. The previous simple system of maintaining connections was replaced by a new type of work that involved ascents and descents. This work was based on constant self-analysis and a new type of thicker vessels that were acquired during the exile in the Pharaoh’s Kingdom.

Later, the sons of Israel attained correction that corresponded to the level of the First Temple followed by subsequent destruction and shattering.

Today, after the exile and collapse, the same vessels emerge again. These vessels still contain the sparks of the previous stages. The Light comes and raises us through our forefathers’ merits.

This explains why everybody who is attracted to the goal of creation is called Israel (meaning directly to the Creator (Yashar-El). These people must realize that they have the duty of attracting the Light to the entire world. If this happens, all 70 nations will receive the Light through their unity and will rise to the prior level of unity where humanity was before the shattering: the one we all have to attain.

The Endless Struggle With The Ego

We have entered a very peculiar stage of human development. Evolution brought us to a sensation that this world is uncomfortable, wrong, and unsuitable for us; it really doesn’t matter whether it is our fault or not.

To what extent are we to blame, I cannot say. After all, we only act the way we are able to. People are what they are! What can be done about it? Can we demand more from them? Should we make this world a better place or should we continue “rotating” together with it? In general, are we really capable of acting differently by going against our nature? We are governed by our nature; this is how we are built. Can we change anything?

We see that our life is difficult and uncomfortable; the future does not appear rosy to us at all. Is it in our power to alter our life?

At this point, the wisdom of Kabbalah steps into the picture. This knowledge explores the entire reality and the human in it. Kabbalah’ exploration of nature is extremely deep, researching must deeper levels than all conventional sciences. This wisdom explains exactly what can be done to change our reality for the better.

In essence, we arrive to a very easy and obvious conclusion, which is not news to us: The problem is in our egoistic nature. We are driven by our egoism, the force of separation among us. Each one pursues one’s personal benefits and relishes being “superior” to others by making others “inferior.” People feel happy when they feel superior to their neighbors.

If we were not driven by this force, if we strived to unity and equality, we would feel much better. Mankind has always thought that they could achieve equality and justice. There have been many battles and revolutions throughout history, but we see that all of them were useless.

So Kabbalah teaches us how to live a good life. Besides many other benefits, it explains how to attain balance and similarity with nature. It shows how to avoid hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, cold and heat waves, global warming, extinction of plant and animal species, etc. People are the only ones who can balance out all levels of nature so that all of its parts (inanimate, vegetative, animate, and speaking) will achieve harmony and accord, thus living a good life in a state of homeostasis.

On top of that, our work on attaining a correct type of unity contains one detail: out of the entire humanity, this work is entrusted to a small group that from the Babylonian time, from the cradle of human history, demonstrated that it is capable of, interested in, and meant for this role. This group aspires to unity and in essence is ready to take care of the rest of humanity that is not concerned about things like that.

When this group emerged in ancient Babylon, it was named “Israel” meaning “directly to the Creator (Yashar-El).”  It aspires to attain unity. The Creator (El) in essence is “The One”—the unified reality.

Today, after three and a half thousand years, this group doesn’t match the role it was chosen for. However, similarly to ancient Babylon, in present Babylon there emerge people who also strive to unity. That’s why they too are called “Israel.” Implementation of their predestination is a must for them.

Besides, there are people who were a part of the group named “Israel” at one point in the history, but later they dropped their ideals. They also are obligated to participate in the quest for unity. Thus, there are several circles of people whose duty is to partake in the process of the world correction.

1. First of all, there are the parts of Israel who awakened on their own to fulfill this work. No matter what country they are born in, they are a part of the desire to save humanity.

2. Those who belong to Israel by the fact of their birth, by heredity. They also are involved into the process even though they don’t know it, don’t understand, and don’t want it.

3. The rest of humanity.

Today, unity turned into a universal heritage. All over the world, people who understand that only by attaining unity can we escape all disasters caused by our antagonism with nature; they are trying hard to find solutions to the crisis we are presently in. Gradually, sooner or later, they come to the wisdom of Kabbalah. It occurs that this knowledge is a source of correction and a cradle of understanding and energy.

Kabbalists wrote a lot about what exactly can and will save humanity. Moreover, the wisdom of Kabbalah explains that we should not run away from misfortunes as wild animals from a burning forest. On the contrary, our current state “hides” nature’s deep intention to elevate us to a higher level ,not just by sending us disasters to force us look for salvation. This scenario isn’t worthy of nature’s perfection.

The thing is that by self-correction and unification we rise to a new level of existence and go out to a broad and impeccable world, into the reality that exists above matter. We will see that our genuine life, our true bodies and souls, are there.

Kabbalists explains to us what the ways of awakening to the real life are. This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah is meant for.

We are accustomed to perceive everything through the mind, rational proof, and explanations. Even if we are still in concealment, but there are some fragments between which there is something still unclear, it is already possible to assemble a picture and live with it. However, the general public does not need such explanations. Its perception is more emotional.

You just need to build on our history. Israel is a people organized by Abraham and Moses as a special community of people, living as one man with one heart, according to the laws of love for one’s neighbor as oneself. It is the condition in which the nation of Israel exists. If we fall from this level to unfounded hatred, then we come to destruction of the people and go into exile.

Now, by performing all the necessary conditions, we need again to strengthen our unity and become one man with one heart. Then, we will be called the people of Israel in the land of Israel.

Everything that happens around us does not matter. It comes only in order to compel us to fulfill this condition. All this should be brought gradually to people in sensation, through the heart. In essence, we explain on what conditions we can continue to exist.

All this is strange, illogical, and irrational. The people of Israel are a strange phenomenon in this world, and everyone knows that. However, this irrational community is more robust and stable than all the other nations that ever existed in history.

All this must be announced immediately and completely openly, without any breaks. People are ready for this, and every day their conditions will worsen. The new trend is that, today, the main control is in the broad public. The main weapon is a broad world view that requires each country to act according to it, and not otherwise.

In this way, the Creator governs us through parts of humanity. The force of weapons solves nothing now. The war is going to another level: the confrontation of opinions. In fact, this is a media war. Everything is determined by who rules in the media and what type they are. As a result, we need to understand that if there is no communication between people, there is no peace!

Question: If the current war is a struggle between different ideologies, what is the current war between ideologies in Israel?

Answer: First, we have to understand that we are managed by the upper force, by the thought of creation, and by that we can use the Light that Reforms in order to save ourselves and to win. But how should we win?

This whole war is not in order to defeat some hostile terrorist organization but in order to defeat the concealment that is all over the world.

We must remove it, at least to some extent, and then we will see what world we are living in, what is happening to us, to all of the created beings, and what the upper force wants of us. By the way, this is not contrary to the Islamic perspective at all. It requires explanation and nothing more.

War is a conflict between two opinions. The essence of this war is that every side wants to win by using its ego. But we should understand that today there is no room for this kind of war. This war has become something else: We are required to remove the concealment. We are sent an obstacle that forces us to think that we are seemingly fighting terrorists over some territory, some domination, or some political ideology.

But, in fact, it is a totally different battle that takes place only so that by this situation we will be able realize that it is the upper force that puts us in these acute situations so that we will be able to reveal it.

We can only reveal it by massive dissemination of the message that everything comes from this force in order to reveal it and reach equivalence of form with it. It is because this equivalence of form is the means to reveal it.

Equivalence of form with the upper force requires us to fulfill the condition of love thy friend as thyself and to turn one’s enemy into one’s lover, which means to turn the enemies into friends and the external enemies into internal ones.

Question: In recent years the situation of a state of emergency and rocket attacks have repeated several times and we constantly speak about the need to connect and to unite, but no one wants to listen to us. What is the problem here? Is it that people aren’t ready yet or that we don’t know how to explain things?

Answer: I cannot blame our enemies for wanting to destroy us and I cannot blame the people of Israel for not understanding what is happening and why this situation reoccurs again and again. The only ones to blame are the people who know how to perform the correction but are too lazy to do their job and are in no rush to use all the means that they have to bring the method of correction to the people, not only to the nation of Israel but to the whole world too.

Since we are in the era of the end of correction, we can tell everyone about it, including our enemies. We will feel that they understand it and acknowledge it. They will find out what the source of their anti-Semitism is, their deadly hatred of the Jews, and why fate keeps us in a continuous conflict that also brings about great suffering and wars to the Arabs themselves.

They are also in a bad position, and although they are proud of their power, they actually suffer. So they should understand the reason for their suffering.

It is clear that nothing will help there. We can destroy all the terrorists, but the next day new ones will come along. Our enemies have enough people and missiles to bomb every centimeter of our territory. There isn’t a piece of land in Israel that would be safe from missiles and where people could live in peace.

Both we and the Arabs are well aware of this. But this confrontation is held on a certain border because the people of  Israel is obliged to fulfill  its mission and in the meantime, we are given some time to do so, in order to fulfill it in the good, right way of the Light, in the way of I will hasten it (Achishena). If we don’t do so, we are about to experience the terrible times described by the prophets.

Question: Yesterday there was a stormy debate in the nation about the possibility of a ceasefire.  Even though it didn’t occur, what do you think about this?

Answer: First of all, of course, it is necessary to prevent our enemies from acting like this in the future, and in this sense, a cease-fire won’t help. An action is required here that will make it possible for us to live normally.

On the other hand, in my opinion, a cease-fire can bring benefit if the people of Israel understand that it is up to them to carry out a correction and it has no other choice. There is no other way of reaching a quiet life, there won’t be a calm life as long as the people don’t correct themselves as required, meaning, until they become “like one person with one heart,” as the people of Israel must be according to the sources.

And so “the territory upon which we dwell” will become the true land of Israel. The people must relate to their place exactly as the land of Israel, that is, yearning straight to the Creator – Yashar-El. This must be the worldview of the people, and this is not a religious, but a spiritual view.

And then, of course, nobody in the world will have a reason to say that this land doesn’t belong to us. On the contrary, everyone will want us to live here; everyone will feel that the presence of the people of Israel in Zion will make it possible to provide the source of life, spiritual fulfillment for the whole world. And this is what all nations are missing. So there will be peace (Shalom) and also wholeness (Shlemut) throughout the world, and it will extend from here.

If the people of Israel use the ceasefire to return to their normal life, then it won’t help anything and in another few months we will see that the situation will only become more severe. In fact, our enemies are right in not agreeing to a ceasefire. Indeed, based on our present approach, the ceasefire won’t be beneficial. It is clear that if we don’t carry out a spiritual correction, everything will be much worse.

So ultimately what is there to do? The group called Bnei Baruch, which understands that a correction is ultimately required here, and it is shown to us that there is no alternative, must turn to the whole world now, and in particular the people of Israel, and openly explain what is happening and what must be done.

Otherwise we will have no possibility of remaining here. In the meantime, the missiles of the enemy are like plastic pipes with explosive material, but next time it could be much worse. They will begin to throw advanced bombs at us and even atomic, chemical, and biological bombs. And this will be not only from one direction but from all four directions. Anything is possible.

And so if we understand that there is alternative but only spiritual correction, then let’s implement it. This doesn’t mean that we must give up on armaments, on the “Iron Dome.” No. But it must be understood that true correction is carried out on a higher level.

First of all, it is up to us to understand that we are the active heart. It is up to us to go out to the people and explain to them what is happening, even compulsively. Now is the “time for action” (Psalm 119:126). Everything is happening for us so that we will explain to the people of Israel about their mission with all of our strength and by all means.

The people must know this. The idea is not so that they will know us and recognize that we are right, but so that they will know that their fate depends upon it. This is what Baal HaSulam told us: If we carry out this mission, we will remain in our land, and if not, we will be forced to leave it. And so, the time has arrived for aggressive dissemination.

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

Before we continue, we suggest that you pay attention to the conclusions to which scientists and experts in various fields of knowledge have come today. We will present them at the end of every chapter in the first part of the book. We have given them a title according to the current orientation: “Basic Principles of Integrality”.

Basic Principles of Integrality

From the end of the 20^th century humanity became one body, one large family.

The problems are not by chance.

The reason for all the problems is found in a lack of balance of mutual human relationships.

Violations in the mutual relationships between people, between humanity and nature, bring confrontations, wars, diseases….

Even local wars can bring climatic problems to every point on the face of the Earth.
