“Fundamental Principles of the Integral Theory”

Egoistic desires allow seeing the states opposite to them.

We don’t know what controls egoism.

The universe is built entirely out of the desire to receive.

We are now standing in front of the entrance to the eternal, infinite dimension.

The force of unity can break the boundaries of our universe.

“Fundamental Principles of the Integral Theory”

Egoism Is A Desire

So, egoism is a desire. No matter how important it sounds, we are talking about a new world view.

“A world view is system of views on the objective world and man’s place in it, on man’s relation to the reality around him and himself, as well as a framework of people’s attitudes, beliefs, ideals, principles, knowledge, activity, and values, based on these views.” (Academic Dictionary)

Unfortunately, dictionaries are still “not familiar” with this worldview, so for the time being we will call it a concept. In any case, this concept or model is very promising and relevant. First of all, because it has never been refuted by anyone or anything despite the fact that, according to our resources, it is about 6000 years old.

This concept is often treated with suspicion or misunderstanding. The main reason is the lack of information.

Two facts indicate the relevance of this concept. Firstly, its full realization, no matter how strange it sounds, was originally scheduled for our time. Secondly, this concept explains many, if not all, of today’s problems.

Let’s see how this concept is revealed by its authors – Kabbalists.

The desire is the essence of creation, from the beginning to the end, the only “material” from which it is composed.

“All of the various created beings are merely different “portions” of the “desire to receive”. Moreover, all events that happen to them are the changes that happen to this “desire to receive.” (The Science of Kabbalah (Pticha))

First of all, it is necessary to make sure that we speak in the same language as the author. What is behind the words the “desire to receive”? What does the author mean by the word “creation”? Maybe it is something exotic or esoteric?

“…even in the smallest of particles, it amounts to no more than a “desire to receive.” (Yehuda Ashlag “The Freedom”)

No. It seems that the author speaks the same language as we do.

And yet, to remove the last doubts I would like to have something concrete.

“That force, the will to receive, is present in every element of reality, as we have explained above. Also, all four types: still, vegetative, animate and speaking emerged from them.” (Yehuda Ashlag “The Freedom”)

So, all that exists is that desire. Now we can move on, or rather, return to the very beginning. To those events that took place long before the famous Big Bang.

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

“Fundamental Principles of the Integral Theory”

Egoism is the engine of progress.

Egoism is the master; the mind is its loyal assistant.

The power of the mind allows us to conquer our egoism and control it in the right way.

We are standing on the threshold of huge disasters, but egoism prevents us from seeing this.

The media nurtures universal egoism.

The Origins Of Anti-Semitism

An excerpt from the brochure “The Only Way Out.”

What kind of a secret are we talking about? It is an idea, expressed in just five words: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Any secret has a price. The price of this secret is anti-Semitism.

Anti-Semitism is not an accident or someone’s whim. It appeared simultaneously with the Jewish people, whose father, as everyone knows, was Abraham.

“A people, a nation, is like a tree which is born with its own shadow. The higher the tree, the longer its shadow. If you like, you may call it not a shadow but fate. The shadow of the Jewish people is prophecy-vision of the end of the days. The shadow of the Romans was fame, domination of foreign lands. The shadow of the Russians is anti-Semitism.” (Albert Einstein)

What is the relationship between the ethical principle of “Love thy neighbor as thyself” and anti-Semitism?

First of all, let’s look at things realistically. It is unlikely that someone other than the finished idealists believes that this ethical ideal corresponds to human nature. The latest world events confirm this once again. We know this; this is what is happening before our eyes. In fact, the world is at a dead end.

And yet, imagine for a moment that someone in some unimaginable way has managed to conform to this principle. What will happen then? Then, there would be hope that everything could be different. And this is important. Then, we would have the confidence that it is possible to treat everyone nicely, and everyone will treat everyone else in the same way. Then, violence and cruelty would disappear. Then, nations would become friends and live in peace. Hunger and poverty would vanish…

But it is a utopia, everyone would say, and they would be right. It is not possible today, and it was not possible yesterday. And yet, human history has one exception to this rule—the people of Abraham.

“Fundamental Principles of the Integral Theory”

Altruism Is Not Egoism

It looks that we are at a dead end. On the one hand, humanity, even without realizing it completely, is uniting; on the other hand, it is not able to unite because it lacks altruism necessary for this purpose. For those, who still think that altruism can be taught, we offer to look at this:

“Altruism is a social condition in which the individual is completely absorbed by the group and does not have his own goals other than the goals of the group; performance of duty and adherence to group norms are considered to be the highest values.” (Academic Dictionaries and Encyclopaedias)

What can we do? First of all, we shouldn’t be upset. We do not know how to approach altruism? Don’t be afraid. Let’s come from the other side. Let’s begin from something that is much closer and more understandable to us – from egoism because it is the flip side of altruism.

Egoism is one of the manifestations of individualism; opposite to altruism.

First of all, we, of course, we are interested in the nature of egoism, its essence.

Philosophers say that we are talking about the moral qualities inherent in the human being. Culture scientists say that egoism is behavior. Psychologists argue that values are hidden behind it. Other psychologists call it a tendency, and sexologists – a psychological state. In addition, political scientists agree with culture scientists, social scientists – with the first psychologists, and teachers – with social scientists. (Academic Dictionaries and Encyclopaedias)

In general, there are as many opinions as there are dictionaries. At the same time, a certain attitude to these definitions is being developed. On the basis of these, it follows that egoism, of course, is a very serious thing, but – how to put this in simpler words? –not fatal and not necessary at all. That is, a person can have egoism and can have none.

However, there is a different, radical opinion that belongs to Richard Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist, the author of The Selfish Gene:

“We are survival machines – robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes.”

Further, in the same book, he makes clear what he has in mind.

He looks at genes as the “fundamental units of natural selection.”

It’s no more, no less. This is not the behavior or a mental state.

And yet there is one more opinion, and this opinion seems to be not revolutionary.

“Egoism, defined as the force of the will to receive, is man’s essence.” (Yehuda Ashlag “The Freedom”)

This special opinion belongs to those who continue the work of Abraham – Kabbalists. That’s what we are will discuss in in the next chapter.

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

“Fundamental Principles of the Integral Theory”

We must connect with each other, despite all the contradictions.

Our inclinations can be used both positively and negatively.

Unlike animals, the human being is able to consciously bring both benefit and harm to the environment.

The laws of ecology, human society and, generally, of all nature are interconnected by global integral connections.

Humanity has become big and strong. At the same time, it looks like a little kid who got lost and does not know where to go.

An Ideological Revolution

From the brochure “The Only Way Out – Israel Today.”

Recently, expressions such as the “chosen people,” “people of the idea,” “spiritual people,” evoked a feeling of unease, of savagery, religious restrictions, and most importantly, a sense of not belonging to all of these phrases.

The war against Hamas has made, in fact, an ideological revolution. The media, especially social networks, were literally flooded with these kind of expressions. They come from both Jews and non-Jews. When rockets reach anywhere in the country, the position of an outside observer quickly disappears.

On one hand, there is some feeling of hopelessness; on the other hand, no one talks and writes that we should leave Israel and seek a safer place in another part of the planet.

Why? Because we all see that the planet does not want Jews. If previously we talked about anti-Semitism in some countries, today it is difficult to find a country where anti-Semitism does not exist. Literally, every day where anti-Semitism was manifested before, its activity is increasing, and where it did not exist before, it begins to grow rapidly.

Such a full-blown wave of anti-Israel, or rather anti-Semitic declarations has never been, unless, of course, we do not recall Nazi Germany. Even countries, such as El Salvador, Peru, and Argentina, joined the general mayhem and have begun to withdraw their ambassadors.

The world does not care that we provide food, energy, and medical care to those who are constantly bombarding our cities. The world is quite seriously concerned why so many terrorists are killed and why there are so few casualties among those who oppose the terrorists.

“Fundamental Principles of the Integral Theory”

Will There Be Socialism?

Much is said about the failure of socialism. The Dictionary of Political Science describes this in the following way:

“The domination of the totalitarian system led to an economic, political and spiritual crisis, lagging behind developed countries, isolated from world culture.” (Academic Dictionary)

Another dictionary adds:

“The authorities’ inability to control the situation led to the destruction of socialism and the Soviet Union, a drop in production, and many other serious consequences.” (Academic Dictionary)

The problem with these explanations is that they are, in essence, talking about the consequences and not the causes. What the root of the problem is these explanations cannot make clear. In addition, these and other similar interpretations appeared after the Soviet Union had collapsed. As you know, it’s easy to be wise after the event.

Yet, it is not clear. If humanity is moving steadily toward unification, why did the system, which was based on collectivist values, fail?

This might be the cause:

“If a society is not developed to the necessary extent, the collective governance would become the worst regime for it.” (HaUma http://www.kabbalah.info/rus/content/view/frame/4573)

It might sound true because this was written when the former USSR was at its peak – in 1940. However, maybe the author did not like socialism at all? It turns out that it is just the opposite.

“The socialist idea, which consists of equal and fair distribution, appears to me as the truest.” (HaUma http://www.kabbalah.info/rus/content/view/frame/4573)

“… the difficulties in Russia did not prove that the socialist idea is inherently unfair … What harms them is nothing else but their inadequate development, and, consequently, their unpreparedness for this idea.” (HaUma http://www.kabbalah.info/rus/content/view/frame/4573)

If everything is good, why is it so bad?

So people were not ready for the idea. So what? People were not ready for other ideas either. For example, religious ideas. Well, by using the carrot and the stick, religions successfully spread and took root. However, the author points out what he has in mind.

“… They did not take into account that in the end they also needed the proletariat’s mentality in order for it to work; that it was necessary to create the property of altruism, which would have brought about the realization of the slogans. And it is absolutely impossible.” (Yehuda Ashlag “The Solution,” http://www.kabbalah.info/rus/content/view/frame/3812)

So, is it a dead end?

Practical Steps

Each of us [in Israel] has family, friends, colleagues, and army buddies. Do the names of your friends and acquaintances come to mind? Perfect! Invite them to a meeting. It can take place in your living room, in a park, or in a club, it doesn’t matter where. Sit in a circle and start to talk about the relationships between you. Talk about how to preserve the unity of the people, how to strengthen it, to maximize it, and how to keep it at the boiling point.

Talk about how to open the hearts of each other, about how we, all the participants of this conversation, are tightly connected with each other. Yes, talk about what will happens if we can become really close to each other.

During the conversation you need to remember one important rule: everyone complements each other. We do not argue, do not interrupt, and do not change the subject. There is no participant who is more important or less important. Everyone is equal and equally important.

Has one of us started talking? Wonderful! After he has finished, the next one starts talking, followed by the next, and so on around the circle. By doing this, you naturally feel warmth, safety, and strength. This is the strength of our unity, the basis on which we were born as a nation [Israel].

If we create circular connections between us, similar to circular connections in nature, we will feel a great inner strength. And it is this force that will create a healthy atmosphere in society, thanks to which peace, tranquility, and success will naturally come to us.

Would you like to check that it is not fantasy? Do you want to experience this force of unity? Take part in one of the circles that we hold throughout the country, or just invite us to your place, and we will gladly come.

The Postulates Of The Theory of Integrality

The farther we advance in the historical process, the more complex the structure of society becomes. More interrelations are manifested in it.

A lack of understanding and feeling of each other has reached a critical point.

The task of forming of the human being is ahead of us.

For the last two hundred years, we have been indulging our growing egoism.

Only gradual education will change human beings and bring about positive changes in the social and national structures.
