Question: Suppose that in a circle we attain closeness of our hearts. Will this prevent missiles from falling on us?

Answer: After an experience like this, people will understand and agree that it is possible to attain a better result through connection; they will advance. They will feel that the people of Israel truly possess a unique power with whose help it is possible to correct the world.

They need to come to a conclusion like this gradually—another workshop and another, as many as is required. Education is not acquired all at once, but, each time, little by little, they gradually begin to discover that this is so.

The main thing is that we will see how these actions themselves suddenly begin to change reality. It will become noticeable that through activities like these we make it possible for the Light to work within every human desire. Throughout the world, positive changes will happen. We will feel how everything will begin to relax and everyone will begin to relate to Israel differently.

Suddenly, it will become clear that the United Nations is no longer directed against us, and our enemies and haters suddenly will agree to peaceful measures.

There is no choice. Only Israel has free choice and operates independently in the world. Whether we want it or not, everything revolves around us. We cannot say that we are not guilty and that we don’t understand what they want from us. We belong to the people of Israel and so, we must bring the world to correction! The Kabbalists already wrote about this five thousand years ago.

Question: Despite the fact that unity should be the common denominator of our people, we still find reasons to be divided in the debate about the need for a ground attack in Gaza.

The shooting continues and the unilateral cease fire did not lead to anything. What is more, it didn’t lead to the support of the world.

We would like to hear voices saying that we have tried so hard and that, now we are forced to act firmly, but no. We are not popular like we were before, although no other country would agree to have enemies attack its citizens.

What is more, we see a dispute in the government. The deputy minister of defense was fired by the prime minister following his strong criticism of the government policy. In addition, every minister has his own opinion about the situation, and it is clear that they do not agree with one another.

If wars in the past led us to unite, today we are separated under the rocket attacks. What should happen so that we will truly unite?

I will bring an example from our life. During the siren alert, a strange woman came into our shelter since she was near our building at the time. When she was at the doorway, she hesitated, wondering if she should go back to her car since she left her handbag with her purse in it and forgot to lock the car.

In fact, she wasn’t sure which she should fear more, the coming missile or the fact that someone might steal her bag from the car.

So, of whom are we more afraid, of ourselves or of the enemies on the outside? It is a very painful dilemma.

Looking at our current situation, we find ourselves over and over again in the awkward situation of those who are forced to shoot in a civilian neighborhood where the enemy hides their arsenal, and each time, we are accused of killing innocent people. No matter what we do and how hard we try not to hurt people, no one shows any understanding.

The result is a paradoxical situation. We either don’t protect ourselves, or protect ourselves and feel uncomfortable. So, there is no choice, and we always come out as the guilty ones.

In addition, if, in the past, we could talk about unity in times of trouble, today everyone feels that there is no unity and consensus among us. Even the “missile steamroller” is not enough to bring us together anymore and forge us to one another as it used to be in the past.

Answer: I suppose that this time the people are reacting differently and in a new way to what is happening. The point is not the current conflict itself. Of course, the attitude of the world toward the Jewish state is getting worse, while the Jews abroad are reluctant to be in contact with Israel so as to avoid the accusation meant for Israel.

As to Israel itself, people are greatly divided. In the past, everyone united in times of war and tried to avoid criticism and even feared to express criticism since the result was social banishment. However, today, people feel powerless, hopeless, and helpless, and acknowledge the fact that there is no real solution. In the past, it seemed that we had a solution, but now we are sure that there isn’t one.

This brings the people to a totally different state. For the first time, we are up against an enemy whom we have no weapon to fight. What is more, we have no weapon against the enemy inside us. When there is no general solution for the nation of Israel in the land of Israel, people are divided and each one looks for his own private solution.

For the first time, the question about what is really important awakens internally, but it seems that people don’t want to think about it yet. After all, according to what is going on, we have no future here. Logically, all the means we have are futile when the pace of events grows. We are facing a situation with which we cannot cope. It seems that there is no solution.

This feeling penetrates the nations and makes us feel helpless and desperate. The conflict over the ground operation in Gaza was because no one actually had any real answers. There is no solution, and we are beginning to realize it more and more.

The Jewish people, whose survival throughout history is a wonder, live in an artificial state. It isn’t clear what it lives on, and its state is insoluble. Everything is gradually sinking into a mist of hopelessness.

Question: If we look more closely at the Jews all over the world, we see quite a gloomy picture. If in the past the Jews abroad used to unite with the people in Israel in times of trouble, today we see this much less and even the opposite inclination. Most Jews abroad, if not all, actually agree with the general international opinion that Israel is wrong in the current conflict.

For example, the founder of J. Street in the US came to a conference in Israel and said that the military policy and strategy in the occupied territories are wrong and a blow to Hamas, and the civilians in Gaza surely will provoke the hostile response of different countries in the world. As evidence, he brought up the example of the boycott of the Presbyterian Church of Israel. What is more, J. Street actually promoted this decision of the church during their convention.

In the meantime, a Jewish member of the Iranian parliament said the Israeli policy in the occupied territories is identical to the policy of Nazi Germany.

Jews who live abroad publish clips that encourage pressure on Israel on the part of Christians, openly expressing their disagreement with the Israeli policy.

We see similar phenomena everywhere. This is not the first time that we have seen that, and on the whole, it is a sign that something very bad is going to happen. The situation was very similar before the command to expel the Jews from Spain. The same thing happened in Germany after Hitler’s rise.

Now, the same picture is reoccurring, an internal erosion of the nation’s unity that seriously weakens our ability to exist as a state. The point isn’t military power but the fact that we simply don’t know what to do with ourselves.

The only ray of light that I see is the fact that our illness—being a divided nation—is already visible. A significant part of the people feel that the current war is different from those that preceded it since we are not united. The right diagnosis is the guarantee for healing.

Let me give you an example: A friend of mine was called to army reserve service at the beginning of the operation and he told me over the phone that he is actually overwhelmed by the people who left their homes and their families and are ready to protect the state and are filled with a sense of pride, mutual guarantee, and self sacrifice. However, on the other hand, the military reality is rotten. The nice words the army uses evaporate when we look at things from the inside. What is most painful is to see the gap between the wonderful people, the fighters of elite units and the rotten establishment, a mechanism that is outdated, including the media, and destroys the unity between us, setting different parts of the nation at each other.

What should we do about this hopelessness? Is there really no solution? How can we advance?

Answer: It is impossible to advance with what we have. This is not advancement, but regression. There is nothing to hope for in our current state.

If we want to talk about the new state, we must prepare for it, ascending to a totally different level of recognizing what is going on.

We must look at things generally and see what the Israeli nation has come to. It is impossible to demand that the world should treat us as if we are like everyone else. No, we cannot be like everyone else. We are a special people, a special state, and our state in the world is unique. However, we pretend that there is no difference between us and the others, and this, of course, doesn’t work.

It isn’t by chance that the Jews abroad speak against us and that they want to detach themselves from us and have nothing to do with the Israeli nation.

However, the real reason for what is happening is that the Israeli nation, the state of Israel, is not on the level that they should be.

Question: What is this new level of consciousness? What should the Israeli nation turn into so that they will have hope again?

Answer: According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, we must be united and become as one man in one heart. This has nothing to do with religion. The point is that if we are united, we are a nation, and otherwise, we are simply a collection of immigrants from different countries that were given a certain length of time to correct themselves and unite, and if not, we will be dispersed again.

The connection between us is the pre-condition for entering the land of Israel and for conquering it in order to live here exactly like the nation of Israel in the land of Israel. If the connections between us are cut off, and, instead of “love thy neighbor as thyself” we shift to unfounded hatred, we will be thrown out of here and cease to be a nation, and, instead, will be dispersed all over the world, while the other nations do whatever they want with us.

This is our fate, and there is nothing we can do about it. It has led us throughout our history, and the 21^st century hasn’t nullified its demand. So eventually the question is whether we are able to unite or not.

Question: What should we do if we have disagreements?

Answer: It makes no difference. We must unite above them. We are a developed nation, and so our opinions are totally different. Sometimes, they are similar, and sometimes they are opposite to one another. There is no other nation that is so divided in its perspective. What is more, each of us has several different perspectives.

Therefore, we must learn to unite above all the differences and the disagreements. It is possible if we implement the method of connection that the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us. Then, we will be one nation in a united state, and the entire world will come to us to learn this method.

After all, the world needs it, too. The state of the world is no better than our state. It is in the midst of a terrible crisis, and doesn’t know which way to go nor how to advance. The confidence in the future is gone; events overwhelm humanity; missile attacks are not the worst thing that may happen.

It is a natural phenomenon, a natural law, that the nations of the world blame the Jews for their troubles. It is clear that Israel is the source of all the troubles in the world. When Israel is not united, there is no unity in the world. We disrespect one another, don’t join one another, don’t reach love and unity, and ignore the basic principles of “That which you hate, do not do to your friend,” and “Love thy neighbor as thyself.”

To live as one man in one heart is the formula of the existence of the Jewish nation. Otherwise, we are not a nation and, accordingly, neither are we a state. After all, a state needs to be established by the Jewish nation according to its inner attributes, when everyone is attracted to unity, creating the external conditions to support it. All the government institutions and mechanisms, including the education system, must be based on this approach. The basic commandment of one man in one heart and to reach mutual love must be the basis for everything.

All this is described in our sources, and there is nothing to look for anywhere else. We should only understand the writings according to the wisdom of Kabbalah. Otherwise, we will miss the opportunity to live in this land and to build ourselves. After all, this is an opportunity we have paid for with the lives of six million people who were burnt in the holocaust.

This opportunity actually was given to us by the nations of the world, but, in the meantime, their attitude toward us is changing, and there isn’t one nation that supports us.

Question: Indeed, in 1967 when the Six Day War broke out and Israeli tanks went into the Sinai, even the Germans supported us, and one of the major newspapers published a headline, “They are rolling!!!” How everything has changed since then.

Answer: Let’s ask ourselves why this is happening. There is no point in being nice guys in the eyes of the world, and they don’t even demand that we do so. They demand something else: that we should be an example of the connection of the world.

After all, the current crisis includes the entire world. It is a human crisis that is taking place in human society and from there, affects nature. We can fix it only by a positive connection among everyone and cooperation between the nations, and only we can set an example of connection and have the power to fulfill it.

This is actually what the nations of the world are saying: that, by being divided, we invoke all the evil in the world. It makes no difference what they blame us of. Behind every accusation that they make, there is one idea. We are a pain in the neck for them, and we are responsible for the fact that the world is in such a bad state.

In every integral system each one influences the entire system. If there exist general mutual connections and everyone depends upon everyone in a system, it is clear that each smallest part, component, and organ in this system can disrupt or destroy the work of the entire system and serve as a bad example to all the rest.

However, the integral spiritual system differs in this. That same principle also acts positively in it. One destructive part can destroy the entire system and one part that acts correctly can fill it entirely. This is particular addition exists in a spiritual system. Each one absorbs the entire system and therefore can correct them all.

In the meantime, we cannot digest these things. When we begin to feel the structure of the spiritual system through the Light that Reforms, we understand that the whole and the part are equal there. In the meantime, we all have an influence on the importance and dependence of each one on equality.

However, in fact, this spiritual principle, “The whole and the part are equal,” means that there is no whole and no part. Rather, there is only one thing: one Kli (soul) and one Light.

In order to reach the corrected state, we are in a situation that is its opposite. First, through our efforts, we must discover our evil and, after that, reach a state of “Depart from evil, and do good” (Psalms 34:15), and then we discover the lack of the unity that we must attain.

In the process of attaining unity, there is a difference between two parts of the system. One part is called Israel, Yashar El (directly toward the Creator), that has a relationship and connection with the Upper Light, with the higher power, and it can attract it for the purpose of correcting itself and the entire system. This means that Israel must correct itself for the sake of the entire system.

The second part of the system, which is called the “nations of the world,” cannot attract the Light that Reforms by itself and in addition, cannot unite, even though it wants this. So, the part called the nations of the world feels dependent upon Israel negatively because it doesn’t receive nourishment, fulfillment, from Israel. Israel doesn’t reveal unity within itself, and, so, it doesn’t influence and radiate this unity to the nations of the world. This is even though it must be an example to the others and a “light to the nations” (Isaiah 42:6).

This is no ordinary example of good human relationships because it is operating on a spiritual level, not on a human, physical level. The moment Israel unites, it becomes a system through which the Light that Reforms can pass to the nations of the world. Then, they also will be connected, and then their lives will be filled with Light.

So, everything depends upon that part of humanity called Israel, and this is what we see according to the attitude of the nations of the world toward it.

Excerpt from The Essential Secret of the Jews, by Michael Brushtein

The Hit Of The 21^st  Century – Capital

And yet, what happened? Why should someone be shut down?

The fact is that suddenly a breeze of communism, or if you prefer, collectivism, has started blowing in the world.

How this threatens the population is not known yet. Sooner or later, they will want to shut down something, to correct, and all that is left is to divide. Don’t you think so? You don’t have to look for evidence too far.

People have rushed to buy Karl Marx’s books, and moreover, by the bundle. They say that the circulation of sold books has already broken all records.

“Since 2008, the sales of such works as Capital, Manifesto … and A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy have been steadily increasing.

“The customers of Sparkasse bank in the German city of Chemnitz (formerly Karl-Marx-Stadt) chose the Marx’s portrait to be printed on plastic cards …

“‘Yes, Karl Marx is going mainstream – and goodness knows where it will end,’ writes Stuart Jeffries, a feature write of The Guardian.’

“And what happens when people begin to read Marx and Engels, do you remember?

“Sharikov shrugged. ‘I don’t agree.’

“’With whom – Engels or Kautsky?’

“’With neither of ’em,’ replied Sharikov.

“’That is most remarkable. Anybody who says that . . . Well, what would you suggest instead?’

“’Suggest? I dunno . . . They just write and write all that rot … all about some congress and some Germans . . . makes my head reel. Take everything away from the bosses, then divide it up.’”¹

By the way, speaking of Marx’s Capital. To be honest, who of you, dear readers, was able to conquer this, I am sorry, enormous work? For instance, I could not. Not when I was a student, not later when I became a dad, not now, when my daughter made me a grandfather again. I couldn’t that’s all. Although I tried very hard.

Every time opening the book, I soon began to yawn and then just fell asleep. There is nothing to do, it is not “a book about healthy and delicious food” and not even Akunin.²

I had a suspicion that there was something wrong with me. Everyone is reading, and I’m not. Everyone can, and I am not able. Then, I asked privately. Among my friends and acquaintances. Then among friends of my friends. Finally, among the relatives of those and others.

I was lucky. I finally found the one who swears that he had managed to read the book. I really envy him. He is a strong and persistent person.

Again. People buy the book. Despite the fact that it is thick and unreadable. Today it is a bestseller, especially in Europe. People want social change, want justice. Collectivism, which seemed to have been buried for good together with the Soviet Union, has suddenly appeared on the agenda again. And not just somewhere, but in Europe – the father and mother of capitalism.

Well, and what about America? Is it fair that China provides the whole world with goods, Russia produces oil, Israel grows purple tomatoes, and America prints dollars and increases the national debt in the online mode? Is this called the global division of labor?

Assume that Karl Marx is not proof, but a simple coincidence. But what can to be done with a modern innovation – the Internet? Social pandemic has spread all over the world network. A social monster Facebook has become a leader. According to visits, it has overtaken not only porno sites, but also a major Internet search engine Google, and it looks like it’s just the beginning …

“The massive spread of social network services requires rethinking of this phenomenon of the 21^st century, especially with the advent of unified mobile devices.”

Notes:

¹ A quote from The Heart of a Dog – a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, is a satire  of the New Soviet man written in 1925 at the height of the NEP period, when communism appeared to be weakening in the Soviet Union. It’s generally interpreted as an allegory of the communist revolution and “the revolution’s misguided attempt to radically transform mankind.” Sharikov is one of the main characters. Originally he was a stray dog, transformed into a human (his glands were transplanted from a drunkard). He joined the Soviet State.
²Boris Akunin – a Russian writer, known as writer of detective and historical fiction.

Question: When we are talking with people, they agree that the whole problem is lack of unity and lack of connection. But they don’t believe that it is possible to attain connection and reach peace. What can be done with this remarkable lack of faith?

Answer: Everything is attained in the form of “from your deeds we shall know you.” If during a discussion in a circle, a feeling of warmth, closeness, a new feeling that was never felt before, is awakened, then we see a new force being born here. So why can’t it warm the person at least for a few hours or days, obliging him to relate differently to other people, to the reality that surrounds him?

This is called, “from your deeds we shall know you.” The Creator shows us his presence, even though in the meantime this is concealed and limited. But we already feel that He exists within our circle: born and revealed.

People don’t believe that this is possible, whereas we prove this is possible by moving them through these feelings. Come, let’s make an exercise and prove with this how this force begins to act. It must be like a laboratory experiment leading to this discovery.

That is how every scientific discovery is achieved. Before, this phenomenon was unknown to us, and now we discover that it is known, and thus we see it. With the help of a unique instrument called a “circle,” we discover a new phenomenon in nature. And if we use this new force correctly, then we can succeed in everything, correct everything.

This is to the way that electrical power was discovered: First they discovered that amber can be electro-statically charged by rubbing it with wool, and then small objects would be attracted to it. But look at what kind of results we have reached through rubbing some amber? Electricity is around us everywhere now.

Such advancement was attained through the discovery of a force that a few hundred years ago was unknown, and after that we began to work with it. Today, it is already impossible to live without electricity.

But we don’t see this force itself, rather only the results of its activity. The same thing happens with the Creator. Don’t call this force “Creator” if it confuses you. This is simply a force that appears within the connection between people. This is called a true Creator (Boreh), meaning Bo ve Reh (come and see). As with electricity, there is no mysticism in this. The Creator is concealed like electricity, nothing more.

The difference is only in that to discover the force of the Creator, the emotional participation of the person is required. In the meantime we can become emotional only about troubles, negative pressure, and through force. So let’s invite positive emotions into us. If one evening the entire nation were to sit in unification circles, then we could create such a power station for the higher power, that tomorrow all of life would be different.

Come, let’s try it! We would have such an intense power station like one that gives electricity. Through this force we could change the whole world: We would turn on the light all over the world. This is in our power, in our hands, and we don’t have the right not to use possibilities like this.

This succeeded with Abraham, also with Moses, so why wouldn’t it succeed with us? It is said, “When will my deeds reach the level of the deeds of my ancestors?” Well, then, we simply need to realize it.

Question: Will the military operation in Gaza to stop the firing at Israel help? We always start this operation but never bring it to the end. Maybe now it is finally time to complete it?

Answer: When I came to Israel more than forty years ago, there was a popular song, “I promise you, my little girl, it is the last war.” I even then thought of it as naive. Don’t the people understand what the last war is?

There has never been such war in human history; we still need to reach it. The last war is the one that we conclude with the perfect state. But is it possible to achieve perfection by destructive military actions? Everyone knows that a military operation cannot lead to peace.

Besides that, the opponent has to justify his own death. They are ready to die, and even wish to do so! They bless death. A mother doesn’t cry about a killed son! Because she believes that he immediately goes to heaven. Is it possible to fight against such an ideology and achieve success by military action?

As a result, we spend a lot of money, are nervous, many more people will leave the country, and nothing will change. Everything will remain until the next time, which could be very soon.

We are standing not against an external enemy, but against our internal one. All these terrorist organizations are not our true enemies, but are only puppets. It is said: “The hearts of ministers and kings are in the hands of the Creator.” It is us who activate those terrorists by our good or bad actions.

Question: How can we switch from the external enemy to the internal one? The external enemy is clear: There is a list of terrorists; the organization that manages them is known.

Answer: It is not limited to only Hamas. In Iraq, there are terrorist organizations much worse than Hamas that are waiting for their turn to wage war against us.

In general, the entire world is against us: Look at what is happening in Europe, in America. It is clear there is a global problem that we are in the center of, and we need to solve it. The science of Kabbalah talks about the structure of the world and explains why this is so.

Humanity in its development must achieve a certain form, and it can only reach it under the condition that the people of Israel will take it upon itself to be a leader in the process of correction. But it does not want to be a leader and escapes this. It wants to be like all other nations, but it is not allowed to live this way.

It is naïve to believe that we can achieve something through external actions. Against whom are we fighting? We are approaching a state where we will have not a single ally. Europe and Russia no longer support us, and more recently, America has ceased to support us.

We will be left alone, without allies. Through the upper mercy, we are allowed to hold out for some time, but that’s all. So, it is impossible to continue if we do not switch to the true path along which we will go towards correction, not trying to win by our own forces, but by using the forces of nature and their correct arrangement.

The wisdom of Kabbalah has been talking about this for a long time. Baal HaSulam started shouting about this even a hundred years ago, warning of the dangers of World War II and the Holocaust. But nobody listened. I hope that at last we will be listened to.

Baal HaSulam, “The Arvut” (Mutual Guarantee): Thus, because of the above necessity, the Torah was given specifically to the Israeli nation, solely to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

This refers to the souls that can be awakened by the Light that was in the state called Babylon.

First, the force called Abraham awakens inside Malchut, and then the evolution and the development of that soul is called Isaac and Jacob. This is only about spiritual systems and parts of the desire to receive, not about historical figures that are the external expressions of phenomena that take place inside the general Malchut.

In order to understand these phenomena, we must look a bit more deeply into how Malchut is awakening to correction. The system of first man was shattered, then it was stabilized in a certain state, and now it should begin to correct itself from a state called Babylon.

The ego develops as a result of a special Light called the Surrounding Light (Ohr Makif). There are parts of the desire that descend as a result of a greater Light, and that means that the ego grows, building of the tower of Babel. There are other parts of the desire that yearn upward as a result of the same Light.

The part that ascended to the top is called Abraham, and, in contrast to it, the part that descended more than all the others is called Terach. The upper Light influences the desire and develops it, and so the movement is both upward and downward, as it is written, “He who is greater than his friend, his desire is even greater.” One is greater than his friend since, like Abraham, he yearns upward, and his desire is even greater like Terach who descended downward. Later, the vessels (desires) that relate to Abraham become clearer. Anyone who is attracted to Abraham as a result of the influence of the Light that Reforms is called Yashar El, Israel (straight to the Creator). Their correction is to “Love thy neighbor as thyself.”

…For it was inconceivable that any stranger would take part in it. Because of that, the Israeli nation had been constructed as a sort of gateway by which the sparks of purity would shine upon the whole of the human race the world over.

The same people, the same souls, the same parts of the desire, have become GE (Galgalta ve Enyaim) with regard to the lower part of Malchut that did not manage to wake up, and are called AHP. This is how the passage of the Light through GE to the vessels of AHP was created.

Now there remains to complete what we have said above (Item 16) about the reason why the Torah was not given to our fathers, because the Mitzva, “Love thy neighbor as thyself,” the axis of the whole Torah and around which all the Mitzvot revolve, so as to clarify and interpret it, cannot be observed by an individual, but only through the consent of an entire nation. And this is why it took until they came out of Egypt, when they became worthy of observing it.”

This means that it isn’t enough that only the souls of Israel that came out of Babylon and ascended upward should correct themselves and observe the Mitzva (commandment) of love thy friend. They must be connected with at least part of the other souls, which means that they went down to Egypt. It is from Egypt that they take out the vessels of AHP of GE.

The desires of GE, called the patriarchs. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, came out of Babylon, and then they received AHP from Egypt and came out with them, are mixed with them, and are shattered. That is, there is the destruction of the first Temple, the shattering of GE together with AHP.

Then, they are ready to be mixed with the rest of the desires of Babylon and reach correction. At the end of correction, we also correct the vessels of GE first, and then AHP. However, here, the stages are different. When the vessels of GE correct themselves, the Light is poured through them unto the nations of the world and begins to bring them closer to GE. So, the more that the vessels of GE correct themselves, the more AHP is corrected.

We are in the phase of the end of correction now. We already have been through the destruction of the temple, have been mixed with the vessels of Babylon, and the only thing left now is to correct the desires of GE, and, through that, AHP will be corrected. We will feel that the Light is spreading through us and the entire world begins to behave differently. It will be a real miracle when all this happens.

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.
