Systemic Design

Question: We often see how a new person enters into the political system with a true and honest desire to make beneficial changes, but then finds himself in a corrupt cycle.

To get results he must act according to the rules of the system. So it begins to “mold” him until the innovative spirit in him is transformed into the stale atmosphere of the old institutions. Is it possible to avoid this? Can it be otherwise?

Answer: No. In the framework of the old system we have no chance. When the person enters, he goes through the “molding of a new image”; this is an unavoidable situation and he can no longer produce anything qualitatively new.

Question: In the recent 19^th [Israeli] Knesset, 53 new members entered the Knesset entered, just about half of the number of the members of the Knesset. At first they were a powerful force desiring change; however, in the end, nothing changed in principle. After all, isn’t this illogical?

Answer: In a broken egoistic society, the political leadership is more egoistic and damaged than anyone. This is because the leaders are chosen as its most successful representatives according to the criteria of this society. They are a mirror image of the people. They are us, only at a later stage.

The system “swallows” them like a grinder and already “spits them out” as others. The person must communicate, play his role, conduct all kinds of business, make appearances, arrange meetings, work, and keep all the existing norms. He has no other choice; one way or another he is thrown into a very difficult system and is forced to adapt himself to it. Otherwise it won’t “hear” him; it will have no business with him.

First they greet him warmly, but after that, when he talks about something tangible, they tell him: “No, we do things differently. Yes, certainly changes are required, but it is necessary to work according to the general rules, taking into account all kinds of interests and spheres of influence….”

In the end, the system makes what it needs of the person, not one piece remains of what he was before. They “format” him; they “polish” him like a wooden puppet. He was one puppet, he becomes another.

After half a year of this kind of acclimation to the system, the person forgets how he was before. He no longer is the same person; he no longer remembers the grandiose thoughts such as the reduction in the cost of housing or food. Furthermore, they let him manage the framework within which it is possible to lower the prices, and in this way, when he becomes a minister, he is unable to do anything.

The Changes Will Come from Below

The system of government is a monster that “swallows” people and unifies them in the general pattern. It is not a head of government, not the ministers, and not the members of the Knesset. The entire structure is built in such a way that change is almost completely blocked.

What was will be. The power, the enthusiasm, the sincere intentions, the talents and abilities, all of these are powerless against the system. “Does he want to help society? Does he want to lower taxes and prices? Please! Let’s all go and help him! Forward!” And after half a year passes it becomes clear that he already forgot the great plans, he didn’t do anything, and he won’t.

You can write notes to yourself with reminders about the personal promises; in every case, urgent matters and endless combinations of them will draw you into the routine. The system, the influence of the environment, obligates the person to take on a new form.

Question: Is there another possibility for changing the government?

Answer: No. Our only possibility is to begin the movement “from below,” from the side of the people. It is necessary to teach the people through all kinds of channels, by means of the media, books, lectures, and workshops in which we bring people a new agenda, a new goal. Moreover, achieving this won’t depend on the government; it is not necessary for instructions to come down from a ruling hierarchy. We will teach the people what proper connection and unity are; we will teach them the correct relationships, and then the changes will come.

A Product of the People

Question: In recent years a sensation has been created in society that the personal interests of leaders on various levels stand above public interests. Scandals erupt everywhere and a multitude of books have been published about the behavior of the authorities.

If in the past it had seemed that in the case of a clear conflict of personal and public interests, the latter were the winners. Before use today, however, as far as it seems, an opposite picture is depicted.

It is clear that the growing ego doesn’t let the leaders rest. Each one of them, among the rest, wants to enter at least a small corner in history and inscribe his name on its tablets. Many efforts are devoted to the struggle to attribute these or other accomplishments to themselves. More than that, decisions are often made with the thought about the recognition that they can bring.

So what motivates the leaders today? How can they integrate personal and public interests into their activities?

Answer: I don’t think that the leaders, in this sense, are any worse than the people. After all, they grew out of this group. Suppose that a former military commander or factory manager or department head decides to go into politics. Essentially, he is a product of the people and not from a royal dynasty. He learned in the general educational system, finished school and university, and lives like everyone else.

Now he stands before the people because he has a stronger ego and more energy. In addition, individuals from the environment encourage and motivate him to continue to grow and there are also those who help him with money and connections.

In general, behind every person that imagines himself as our leader stand interests that are waiting to profit from his coming to power.

A Leader Without “Baggage”

Question: Is there a need for a special system of education for leaders?

Answer: Certainly. But this is not from the present schooling that exists for leaders, the actual results of which are not convincing.

The problem is otherwise. To be a true leader, a person must rise above his ego. He must be faithful to the people and even the world, which is not heard of today. First of all, he must absolutely be detached from personal interests. In this context, a street cleaner could be a better leader if he has an inclination for the common good.

In other words, to lead people correctly, someone is needed who is ready to do everything required for the sake of the people and someone who has no personal but only public interests. It is possible to check this in a very simple way. A person is immediately ready to get rid of all his baggage except for that part that he and society recognize as useful to the people.

Question: What must a true leader be ready to give up?

Answer: Everything. He would be ready to quit the position of prime minister and become a simple worker if this were in everyone’s interest. The good of the people must be the highest value for him. But we see an opposite picture. People who have already undermined the people’s trust in them and who have already found themselves under public contempt, have presented before everyone their nothingness. In spite of the lack of understanding and limitations, time after time and year after year, they climb higher.

Leaders are held strongly by their chairs, benefits, and glory. They are ready to satisfy their ambitions at any price, even though in the end, the people pay the price. This is doubly dangerous for Israel, which is under a constant external threat of annihilation.

Question: We are discussing the next step in building the center of the group. We would like to review the current state. Today each friend has his own pain, his own desire, and each sees the further correction of the group in his own way. And everyone is right. But how does all of this resolve into one whole? How do we actually upgrade ourselves to a new version?

Answer: You need to finally feel that you are at the point of choice, at a fateful decision. All generations are looking at you, and right now you are determining the future and if it will it go through the path of hastening or through the natural path, in its time.

And certainly, as a result of this, all things and events will unfold one way or the other in the land of Israel and in the world.

We need to realize that we are that point through which Light can pass into our world. Therefore, everything depends on how seriously we approach our role as the transition link. Our unity must be genuine.

There is no help here from the upper or from me because everything is handed over to you, and it is up to you to create this unity. You need to decide how we will make ourselves equivalent with the Creator.

Above all, we need to connect to Him. Our dissemination, too, needs to stem only from adhesion with Him. I am seeing that otherwise we will not be successful. Yes, we are reaching out to people, but we need to deliver genuine Light to them in a way that they will become connected to us and cling to us as a baby to a mother. And likewise—the whole world.

There is a willingness for it, but we are not yet connected to the Creator so we cannot serve as a vessel of reception or as support for the people of Israel and the world. Today’s situation is such that we are obliged to establish a connection from both sides and are obliged to reach mutual guarantee, above with the Creator and below with the whole world.

You must take the connection between you very seriously. Whoever is not ready for it, even in the slightest bit, has no place here. After all, if we do not unite, nothing will hold up and all the work we’ve done will amount to nothing.

Therefore, we need to work on purifying and uniting the common vessel, checking daily and  in every second, how you are progressing along the path. This is very, very serious.

After all, we advance either through the 49 gates of impurity or through the 49 gates of Holiness. Herein lies the danger that threatens us in Egypt. So right now the choice is in our hands.

You cannot begin a new day the same way you did last week. No, a new desire and a new approach is needed. This is not in words, but in feelings and in the mind. Accordingly, we will merit either a good or a bad attitude from both directions, from above and from below.

Throughout all of history, the people of Israel have experienced pressure from above and below. And now, Israel refers to us, the group that is entitled to propel the world forward either in its time or through acceleration.

We need to change ourselves completely and demonstrate in every moment a serious approach to the work through responsibility and mutuality. I repeat that whoever does not take mutual responsibility seriously has no place here. This group does not accept everyone indiscriminately but only those whose hearts ache with concern.

It does not matter how many people remain here. Let it be ten, but this ten will be bonded tightly, will be strong, connected to the upper Light, and will be able to conduct Light through itself into the world. And conversely, there is no benefit from a large number of people who are not united and not connected with the upper Light.

This is why we need to break away, free ourselves from all illusory pursuits and work only on connection in order to reveal the upper force within this connection.

Let’s hope that we already understand this and will begin to act. I very much hope that we will offer a response to that opportunity that the entire world has been awaiting for thousands of years.

Our mission is to convey the message to as many people as possible. Baal HaSulam wrote about how much he suffered when he saw poor people wandering the streets and not knowing anything about the Creator and His control. If they knew about Him, they treated him improperly. Baal HaSulam’s dream was to reveal this information to people.

Thus, we have to reach everyone and make everyone an active part in connection with the Creator. The whole Israeli nation has to unite and to connect with the upper force in order to become the channel that conveys the Light. Today there are no restrictions and everyone should know about it.

Question: Is it true that in the discussion circles what is most convincing to people is not the arguments, rationale, or emotions, but the warm atmosphere in the circle?

Answer: There is a certain force in these discussions that operates on people. Even if only a small number of people participate in these discussions, it already spreads throughout the nation like a good “metastases” that spreads a new feeling.

A new state is appearing now not only in Israel but all over the world. It is a totally irrational state and the Israeli nation is irrational like its history.

Anti-Semitism, the attitude of the all the nations of the world towards Israel, is also totally irrational. After all, how can it be explained logically that such an enlightened and cultured people as the Germans committed the Holocaust.

There is no sensible explanation for that and it has nothing to do with religion. It isn’t an argument between Judaism and Christianity; look at how positively the Pope speaks about Judaism. He loves Israel while billions of people who follow him hate the Jews. The upper providence operates so that everything will seem totally irrational.

Therefore, we shouldn’t fear the fact that it makes no sense. We should only dress in the senselessness of the world and everything will take on the right and true form. In fact, all the nations will see that we manage this senselessness and that we have the explanation for everything, that there is a basis and a way to reveal all.

We can finally explain the reason for anti-Semitism to everyone, the conditions for the existence of the Israeli nation that will allow it to stay on the world map. We will be able to explain the special role of this nation, why it has undergone different ordeals throughout history, what the Torah actually says, and what the essence of all the religions and beliefs is.

Abraham laid the foundation for all the religions; they are all called the Abrahamic religions. They are the result of the “gifts” he sent to the East with the sons of his concubines. It is time to solve world’s problems.

We have entered a new era, and before us is to fully open this field of work.

Question: Only two groups are interested in the Creator: religious people or great scientists who study nature, people like Einstein who are trying to understand whether an upper force exists and are trying to find it. But all the other people aren’t interested in the Creator at all. How does He affect the daily life of an ordinary person?

Answer: This question has nothing to do with whether a person is religious or not. He lives and goes through different phases of development throughout his life together with all of humanity. If he discovers and knows at least according to which laws he and all of humanity develop, he will be able to manage his life more successfully.

By knowing what is expected the next day or two days in advance, where everything is moving to and advancing, he will be able to manage better. Suppose you wanted to know which profession is better for your son when he finishes school. Everything will be clear to you: how to study, what to study, what is better to buy. Everything will be known in advance since you will discover the general plan according to which you develop and you will be included in its stream.

Therefore, the revelation of the Creator is essential for every human being. Today we experience so many failures because we operate blindly. All of humanity is acting blindly despite all the high technology, the great sufferings it has undergone, and the rich bitter experience it has accumulated, all because it doesn’t know the plan of nature.

No one is expecting us to bow to the upper force like in religion. We have to discover it and to get to know it in order to ease our life and to prepare our children for an even better life. Otherwise life will become worse from one generation to the next.

Our children’s life will undoubtedly be much worse than ours. Fifty or sixty years ago we thought that life would gradually improve and that humanity would make new discoveries and achieve greater successes, that there would be no more world wars, and that the world would be a wonderful place. But suddenly we see that everything is actually the opposite.

Attaining the Creator is actually attaining nature, attaining the general plan. This opens our eyes and allows us to see the world we are actually living in, who manages it, and the network we live in. All that helps us become more successful, which is what humanity needs so much these days since it suffering.

We feel that we are increasingly more connected among us in global connections and don’t know how to break free. The EU now wants to break apart after many unsuccessful attempts to unite, but that will harm all the countries. This is all because they don’t know how to unite correctly so that it will be good for everyone.

The plan of how to connect to the good is called the wisdom of Kabbalah. I recommend it to everyone. After all, every person wants to succeed in life and the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us how to do so. This will be absolute success, which will not harm others not like today when we succeed at the expense of the failure of everyone else.

The chosen people are the people who have the plan of correction and we have to know it. In addition to that, being chosen means that we have to bring this plan to all of humanity. As long as we don’t do that, they will hate us and pressure us more and more. This is only the beginning of the general global pressure.

The wisdom of Kabbalah is meant for the most ordinary person and has nothing to do with religion: not Judaism, Christianity, or Islam, and not to any Eastern philosophies or any mysticism. It is only about the revelation of the upper force to every human being.

Thanks to this revelation, a person will no longer make mistakes in life. What is more, he will begin to discover the upper dimension and understand that our life doesn’t end with the death of the physical body. If it were so, then what would be the meaning of this limited existence for several decades, which one lives through with great pain and wars.

The meaning is that we should ascend to the next level during our life in this world. It is not the level of the physical world anymore but a level of consciousness, a new level of sensations. We ascend to a different dimension, discover new horizons, a new world.

This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah invites everyone to, to the revelation of the upper force and the attainment of the Creator, the revelation of eternity and wholeness in nature.

Even when we returned to our land, we, the Jewish nation, still maintained the cultures of other nations, those that we “absorbed” during thousands of years. We are speaking about the transition period: We must behave in this way since we, in the meantime, are not able to release ourselves from the borrowed customs and habits and return to our authentic uniqueness.

We will still need to renew our acquaintance with our original culture, where internally we begin to get closer to each other.

Question: What is the essence, the inner point, of this culture?

Answer: Its foundation is the desire to unite and connect, in order to discover the Creator within our positive connection. We are speaking here of connection and unity according to the way of Kabbalah, and especially according to the writings of Rav Baruch Shalom HaLevi Ashlag. He described in a detailed way how one needs to act; these laws in general have been known as far back as the days of Abraham.

His followers united, and thus united the groups that studied the wisdom of Kabbalah: disciples of the Ramchal, of the Ari, of Rabbi Shimon who wrote The Book of the Zohar, and the other groups of disciples.

This system is expressed in the ascension of man above himself for the benefit of uniting with others. This is something we must actualize first and foremost on our own. When we succeed, even a little bit, then slowly, slowly, within our connection, we will discover all kinds of laws of this unique and special society.

These laws are not written in books of law, but we discover them by ourselves: how one needs to build life, to arrange family life, to educate children, design relations towards the nation and the world.  All of this we learn ourselves, by us trying to unite according to the advice, the conditions, and laws that the Kabbalists describe to us. This is a practical experiment and it leads us along the way.

The Jewish Character Is Unity
Unity Of Israel: Time Is Running Out

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

Question: Recently, the topic of anti-Semitism has become very acute. We hear of its manifestation all over the world, and what must be done in order for it to disappear?

Answer: Anti-Semitism is a natural hatred toward the Jewish nation that started at the time of Abraham. It is explained that Abraham went in another way and decided to obtain the opposite nature from the nature of the whole world. He chose the nature of love and unity, and the rest of the world went with its ego in the way of mutual competition.

The natural hatred toward connection is hidden inside the ego, whereas the group of Abraham was always willing to accept any one that wanted to join them. During the time since ancient Babylon, these two groups have evolved. As a result, Nimrod’s group scattered all over the globe, and today it includes 7 million people.

The group of Abraham, in the course of development, became the nation of Israel. This group was much smaller than the rest of humanity but included people that succeed in overcoming their ego and uniting.

For some time they existed in such a state of unity, but the ego constantly grew; the ego, the desire to enjoy, is the whole matter of creation. The force of love, connection, has to be added over the egoistic desire all the time. And this depends on the people and their work. Such work is called spiritual work of the Creator.

The force of the ego pushes us to disconnect. And we need to clothe the force of love and unity upon it. The group of Abraham worked on that. They were not satisfied with their growing ego, which allowed them to get stronger, conquer more, and succeed in science, in new technologies, in ordinary life, and to win wars.

And to this day, countries and every single person plays with their ego, everyone, big and small, without exception. But Abraham’s group received a different guidance. He taught them how the world is arranged and they started to feel it.

If we go only with the force of the ego, then we see all our life only through the ego. We are built in such a way that we grasp reality through our ego. This reality is one-sided because behind all our senses exist only egoistic forces. That is why we all see the world the way it is now.

But if we will overcome this force of ego and dominate it with the help of the altruistic force, we will receive connection with each other. Then we will begin to clothe the egoistic world in a different form, an altruistic one. And we will reveal additional forces in this world that we did not know about before. This additional unknown force is the force of love and bestowal.

As soon as we develop this force within us, we will begin to see its presence surrounding us. This force is called the “Creator.” He created and holds the whole creation, and does not let it scatter to all kinds of direction. He is keeping it as something whole and unified under the control of the one law we exist in. This is the force of creation.

So those people that followed Abraham understood and felt reality in another form. They saw that reality is perfect and that two forces are working in it: positive and negative (plus and minus), altruism and egoism.

Therefore they became smarter. They were able to understand more and to reach bigger achievements and greater success in comparison to the rest of the nations. They perceived the complete reality and achieved it. They revealed additional forces that other nations did not observe. Within these people an additional development occurred. In addition to reason and science to help take more advantage of our egoism; they achieved wisdom and a method that enabled them to work above egoism, in the opposite form, in bestowal.

The nation of Israel was more flexible then the rest of the nations and therefore more successful. Therefore, the ancient Hebrews were very well developed and wrote the Torah. Later in the Middle Ages, German, French, and Italian philosophers wrote that all science comes from the Jews.

Question: How is it related to anti-Semitism of today?

Answer: The nations of the world have a feeling that Jews hold a special approach to nature, to our life. They see, understand, and feel inside nature’s forces and additional phenomenon; they succeed more than others.

More than that, with their success, it is as if they steal from the rest of the nations the achievements that they were supposed to reach. Everything goes to the Jews because they are able to know more about life thanks to their shrewdness and with the two forces they own, instead of one; they see further and understand what happens in a wider way.

In this way, Jews sought victory over life, and in the end, over all the other nations. All the nations watch this situation from a competitive point of view, from the side of the ego, and that’s why it looks so dark to them.

Question: If we speak about the connection of the levels of the upper, the middle, and the lower, then the upper is the teacher, the middle is us, and the lower is the 99% of humanity. Sometimes we manage to feel the unity between us and sometimes we don’t. How can we constantly hold on to the point of unity in order to convey the importance of unity to the people?

Answer: In the articles of Rabash it states that the friends should gather and speak about the greatness of the Creator and the greatness of the teacher. Of course, neither the Creator nor the teacher needs that, but it is necessary in order to raise the students.

If we raise those through whom we receive the Light, we thus connect to the upper source and begin to receive bestowal from Him. Then the understanding of unity and the connection with the upper source are revealed among us.

When we go out to the external circles, the feelings and understandings of this unity and the connection with the upper are conveyed to them.

Just like children who learn many things from their parents, whether they want to or not, and imitate them in different ways like their characteristic behaviors and habits, and their positive and negative responses, so will the external circles receive our feeling of unity and connection to the upper source. This happens in a natural manner.

The wisdom of Kabbalah doesn’t speak about anything that is supernatural, but only about how to learn to be one whole in order to be in harmony with the still, vegetative, and animate levels, to learn from nature, which is what everyone is calling for today.

People used to believe that we had to conquer nature, that we are above nature and smarter than nature. Now everyone is beginning to understand how stupid and much more limited we are than nature. Nature is perfect!

The wisdom of Kabbalah tells us how to learn from nature and how to reach a state in which we will discover its total integrality, the deep and total mutual connection. If we attain that, the masses will also accept it and perceive it since our thoughts and feelings will flow unto them. They will begin to think like us and also perceive everything as we do.

Why is it that what people think that whatever happens on one side of the world is suddenly understood on the other side? It is because we are all mutually connected.

Therefore, when we go out to people and connect to them, the direct mutual connection works. We will perceive their different yearnings and they will perceive ours. Their shattered yearnings and their egoistic desires will force us to yearn for unity in order to correct them. Our unity and connection to the upper will help them perceive it and focus themselves in that direction for correction.

The Media as a Tool of Separation

In our days, society and power are completely separated from each other as between them lie the media that for huge sums of money turns the election process into a farce.

Modern means of communication do not fulfill their purpose. They need to connect people: parents with each other, parents with children, children with each other, men, women, men and women, people and the government, and so on. The media should provide all of these forms of communication between us.

Otherwise, what are they for? Where do they gather information? How do they process it? How do they present it? Where are the people who must stand guard over the common good? They are not there; entirely different interests drive the editorial offices.

We treat the media too lightly. On the one hand, we disrespect and ridicule it, and, on the other hand, despite all the scorn, cannot escape its influence. No matter how much we despise it, in the end, they laugh last, laugh in our faces and do whatever they want.

Money Decides Everything

Question: How could we allow them to do this? How did we provide such opportunities?

Answer: It is money. Once, the newspaper belonged to a man with a certain ideology, versed and educated, but then the situation changed. Now, if I have enough money, I publish a newspaper, buy a television channel, or a radio station, I have content managers, and, in the end, open a studio in Hollywood. In a word, I begin to stuff the world with what works for me. Moreover, I wrap my message in such a wrapper so that no one could even identify me.

This applies to politics. The media serves those who pay. It all depends on money without any connection with ideology. Of course, these sites—which are associated with, let’s say, the “left” views—cannot immediately jump to the other end of the spectrum, and that is why every leader who wants to influence public opinion chooses what fits him best. Moreover, it is not really a secret about which news channel serves whom.

Undoubtedly, leaders build everything on the principle of grand brainwashing of the masses. In fact, the media lives on this. Despite the rant about democracy, the people affect nothing. People vote for what they were persuaded to vote for.

Learning Unity

Question: How do you turn the media from the factor that separates the government and people into the connecting factor?

Answer: The problem is that there is no one to connect. Everyone is ill: the people, leaders, and the media.

So, first, you need to run an education program for the media at all levels to teach people an objective approach and introduce them to the correct values, independent of affiliation with various parties and politicians.

We need higher values of unity, universal connection. When people understand that this is their salvation—that it should be the goal to which the leaders take them—then we can organize a discussion. Let all the key leaders sit down in front of us and talk about their platforms, and we will ask them clarifying questions and make our choice.

In fact, we do not need one person at the top of the power pyramid, but a “council of wise men” similar to the Sanhedrin, those who care about the people’s welfare and, above all, about unity, which requires appropriate education through which we will become the true people of Israel. After all, without unity, we are not the people.

Then, together, we will see that this unity is enough to correct all of our problems.

The Unity of the People and Authorities

Question: Why is it a council of wise men and not a wise king?

Answer: For us, a council is better because we will not find a person capable of taking this role. We need a group, a team, a meeting like the Sanhedrin, where, in contrast to the Kinesset, they do squabble among themselves, but come to an agreement.

If you act on the basis of the principles laid down in the foundation of the people of Israel, we would be able to revive true management. When everyone understands that the goal is to love others as oneself and that all steps should only lead to this, then there will be a unity of educated people and those wise men that they chose.

In other words, wise men must grow out of the people, not out of a corrupt political system. They must be connected with the people, go to the people. Their entire work, in essence, is an educational activity.

Question: How does the relationship between society and the authorities look?

Answer: They are a single entity, acting as the “head” and the “body.” The people are conscious that the leadership of the sages leads them in a correct good direction, takes care of them, trains them, and provides them with tools and principles that allow them to settle down in the family, with children, at work, and everywhere. People grow and rise from day to day in the understanding of values and their responsibilities, in good relationships. The people become united.

Question: Is this possible?

Answer: It is necessary. This is written in our primary sources. We see this in the studies of the laws of nature. So, we certainly can and must come to this.

Question: It has been the fate of the Jewish people that so much suffering has fallen upon them throughout history that sometimes they have wanted to ask the Creator to choose some other people for the role of the chosen next time. Why have we received such special treatment?

Answer: The same part of all of humanity that is more developed than anyone else for discovering the Creator has gotten this unique relationship. Therefore, they are called Israel (“Yashar-El” – “Straight to the Creator”).

Anyone who feels a similar yearning in his heart and joins this group, meaning that he becomes a Jew (Yehudi, from the word “Yichud” – unity) and unites with the others to discover the Creator, by being included among the people of Israel, will also become subject to this pressure and cannot flee.

The more that we develop and approach the end, the point when we must embody our mission to the whole world, accordingly we feel greater and greater pressure, struggle, and hatred. And the nations of the world don’t understand the reason for their hatred. By discovering the same forces with which we ourselves must yearn and move forward, we connect and unite more and more and draw all the other peoples after us.

But instead, we try to arrange a relaxed and comfortable life for ourselves. Therefore the same intense forces that we must activate and haven’t begin to put pressure on us through the nations of the world. Today we are only feeling the earliest symptoms of this global pressure on us. If we don’t succeed in showing that we are carrying out our mission, we will invite upon ourselves a very great tsunami.
