We are living in a period when the question about the meaning of life has broken out among humanity as a universal call. A person wants to know why he exists and why it is worth living.

In the past, his desires were in the framework of material existence. The main thing was to have food, sex, family, wealth, honor, control, and knowledge.

These desires developed in us during the entire course of human history, and thanks to them we developed our lives, communications, and the system of connections between us.

Until the middle of the 20^th century, all of this was normal. Then the ego changed. It began to demand: “What is the meaning of life?” It was specifically the ego that asks these questions. Its last question is: “What is all of this for?” Which is to say, there is food, sex, family, honor, and knowledge; all of this is okay, but why is it necessary if everything comes to an end? This is useless. Even if we lengthen our lives for another 100 years, what else? The question remains unchanged.

For thousands of years our ego developed with a gift for answering all the questions about life. But now it bluntly asks the question, “What is it for?!” So we are in a crisis in all the areas of life: science, art, education, family, and so forth.

The entire world is immersed in depression and drugs because people long to know why they exist. They don’t want to have children or have a family because they feel that there is no meaning to it. People didn’t feel this way in the past, like animals that don’t have this problem.

The great challenge that stands before us is to understand how to find the meaning of life and where to search for it. We cannot find it in our world. We cannot find the meaning of life on Mars either, and not even on other distant stars because all of these are lifeless, inanimate bodies, the inanimate level of nature. To do this we must rise to a higher level than our level of life.

Nature is goading and hastening us toward this, so that we will rise up from the level of the still, vegetative, animate, and human nature in this world, to the next level, the next dimension.

How is it possible to rise above ourselves? After all, to do this we need to have a different nature. This is complicated, but possible. There is a method in our world, the wisdom of Kabbalah, which makes it possible to attain this. It explains how to find the meaning of life and places this question before humanity.

This is a 5,777 year-old method. Despite its antiquity, it is very relevant today because it is beginning to be revealed and has appeared only in our generation, calling to humanity to discover it, to possess it, and to know it, and through that to rise to the next level of development, the next dimension, the next world, during our lifetimes. The question about the meaning of life was posed at the beginning of the wisdom of Kabbalah, but it had to wait for humanity to develop. It was written at the end of the 19^th century and the beginning of the 20^th century that it would be time for Kabbalah to be revealed and that the upper world would be attained with its help.

Every level develops from its previous level. The vegetative develops from the still, the animate develops, and then human society develops. And now we must rise to the next level, above the level of human society, to form a new man.

The wisdom of Kabbalah is a very realistic method, accessible and imperative for each one of us. We are suggesting that everyone should become aware of it. It doesn’t require special changes, affiliations, or physical efforts and activities from us; just simply start studying it. It doesn’t call for believing in something; rather, it describes the world in which we are found, and according to its system, it will become clear to us what we must do to attain the real world, the next level of existence.

We don’t feel this level of existence now, just as a stone doesn’t feel the vegetative world and the vegetative world doesn’t feel the animate world because they are not on the same level of existence. So we only feel it to a very weak degree and don’t understand anything about the next level of our development.

Only a question about the meaning of life appears in us. So let’s discover the right answer and in that way we will merit immense pleasures and fulfillments! We will attain a feeling of true life!

When we begin to study this method, we will begin to understand the system in which we are found, its matrix, and this knowledge will lead us forward. It does not enslave us; it doesn’t bind us to anything, and is not obligatory. It is the only salvation for today’s  generation. A goal is being revealed before us that previously was hidden.

Here’s to your success in discovering it!

In the News (The National Interest): ”Although the 2016 U.N. meetings seem quite similar compared to others held over the last several years, this week’s debate comes at a time when the international community is inundated with problems in virtually every region of the world. With the exception of a landmark peace agreement that ended five decades of conflict in Colombia, every region is experiencing some degree of threat that could spiral to a whole new level if the international community as a whole and regional governments in particular are unable to find a way to address them. The list is endless and depressing: a humanitarian abomination in Syria and daily terrorist attacks in Iraq; the rise of anti-immigration parties in Europe and the biggest challenge to the EU since its foundation; a North Korea on a full tear towards a permanent nuclear weapons capability; Russia flexing its military and diplomatic muscle in the former Soviet Union; and China increasingly carving out more territory for itself in the South China Sea.

“The United Nations was created nearly seventy years ago to ensure that crises that pop up around the world are either mitigated to the greatest possible extent or are solved in a way that doesn’t promote further conflict. After tens of millions of people perished in World War II, the last thing the world wanted was a return to a full-scale armed conflict that produced nothing but more death and societal destruction. At the top of the U.N. pyramid, of course, is the Security Council — a body of the world’s most geopolitically vibrant countries, each with a veto, responsible for the ‘maintenance of international peace and security’ in global politics. If an armed conflict, a natural disaster, an atrocity committed by a government, or a nuclear weapons breakout occurred somewhere around the world, it is up to the Security Council to determine the best course of action in a unified and collective way. And in theory, every U.N. member state is required to uphold the council’s decisions.

“Today, it isn’t a stretch to say that the Security Council is not living up to those obligations. Indeed, what was originally thought to be a body where conciliation and unity between the world’s major powers would avert further war has changed into a forum that resembles a meaningless debating society. But what’s even worse than a meaningless debating society is one whose membership is composed of highly antagonistic actors constantly at each other’s throats regardless of the issue.”

My Comment: The United Nations and the Security Council of the United Nations are a reflection of the general state of the world. Moreover, the member nations of the Security Council are already in a state of open warfare. So it only remains to make this a reality. It is doubtful if after that a place will remain for the existence of the United Nations.

There must be a higher decision to seat all the permanent members of the United Nations in a “circle” and begin to arrange a study with them according to the method of connection and unity. It will be before or after the Third World War, but this will inevitably happen!

Opinion (Basil Koltashov, Head of Center for Economic Research Institute of Globalization and Social Movements ): “In the years 2015-2016, we buried many hopes and illusions. …

“The US economy is in a bubble. The bubble has debt already exceeding 100% of GDP.

“This bubble exists in the banking system where the situation seems stable only because of the Fed’s supercheap money. The bubble can also been seen in the housing market. And it is also in the stock market.

“There is a whole set of reasons for the 2008 crisis, but the situation is only under control for the meantime. …

“Of course, you can still talk about the strength of the US economy – the economy is high, the country is rich in resources, industry, agriculture and the development of technology. But there is no clarity with the prospects. Moreover, once again the storm is coming.”

My Comment: All of this is clear. It is just not clear how to awaken the sleeping brain of humanity to recognize the real and true danger and to become aware of a realistic solution.

In The News (Russian Bazaar): “One of every three and a half Americans at an age when they are capable of work who were born in the territory of the United States are living at the expense of relatives and from government assistance grants. This shocking conclusion was made by analysts of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) on the basis of new statistics by the Census Bureau (Census Bureau) and the Department of Labor (DOL).

“The increase in the number of unemployed Americans – one more consequence of the disappearing middle class, which during the reign of Barak Obama fell to a record 47% – 49%.

“Unemployed citizens were more likely to admit that the being poor today can be more profitable than the working taxpayer. …

“ If even a decade ago to be a representative of the middle class was prestigious, but now the poor are much more than the middle class.

“The conscious transition to the ranks of the poor is observed throughout America”.

My Comment: The world is advancing toward the end of its egoistic development and toward passage to the level of integral development, the development of an internal connection between individual people to the full feeling of all of us as one whole.

The need for superfluous work is disappearing. We will manufacture only what is imperative for our existence. We will invest all of our time and energy in the creation of integral connections among us from a desire and yearning (Achishena – I will hasten it) or from compulsion through suffering (Beito – in its time).

In the News (inosmi.ru): “Lending, borrowing, sharing – they are the common denominator of the collaborative consumption economy. You can share working hours with someone, if you do not use them fully. This applies to almost anything – from one square meter in the office to work equipment.

“Intermediary firms establish contact between the buyer and the seller, for which, as a rule, receive the payment of a few percent.

“The joint consumption economy is now at the initial stage of development, but it is clear that more and more services will soon be available in this form. Already there are features such as a digital platform for dog lovers to communicate, various applications of performing services, homemade lunches, and other minor services.

“Another example of implementing the idea of the collaborative consumption economy – is at home [Sweden] in Lund 2019. The tenants of the property get access to the fund of electric vehicles, bicycles, and a guest apartment. In this case they are called to share things with each other.

“Why is the collaborative consumer economy causing so much interest? Thanks to it, you get to know people who would otherwise never have met. It is built on mutual trust, it teaches people to rely on each other. It increases the efficiency of resource use. In addition, it promotes new and innovative solutions to everyday problems and strengthens the private sector of the economy. …

“But, first and foremost, it teaches people to help and trust each other.”

My Comment: If we advance with this without correcting our egoism, from this wonderful venture all that will remain is a business, taxes, and advertising that choke everything. What happened with the European Union will happen. Without first educating people about good relations between them to earn the maximum compensation—the feeling of belonging to eternity—people will not behave responsibly, which is imperative for good relationships, because the ego will not allow it!

In the News (cursorinfo): “Europe is experiencing the most difficult period in its history, says Sylvie Kauffmann, a regular contributor to Le Monde. …

“’For a few months the crisis of migrants has led to profound transformations in Europe, even deeper than the euro crisis. The first shock for Europe has become a new division between East and West. The attempt in the name of solidarity, but without pre-treatment to force member countries to quotas of migrant distribution, exposed the chasm that exists between the old democracies of the West and the young post-communist regimes in Central Europe’ – the article says. ‘The categorical refusal of many of these countries to accept the Muslim refugees imposed on them has led to a failure of the front (second shock ), which coincided with an increase in the number of political practices, perceived in the West as anti-democratic.‘

“‘The third shock was the moral EU defeat’ – continues the journalist – Europe has always declared its fundamental values:. Tolerance, Human Rights, Diversity, Tolerance, which fell under the pressure of national-populist movements that flourished in apid color due to the crisis of migrants …’

“”The fourth shock is paradoxical. … says Kaufmann. – ‘The crisis with migrants It showed that the space for free movement can not operate in the EU… Leger understand the resistance of some countries, but it is sure that ‘there is no other way out.’”

My Comment: There is another way out, and in general, there is only one: true integration. But this approach requires a change in attitude toward the world and the meaning of life.

The question is: “Are the people in the European Union ready to hear this or are they completely controlled by the bourgeois elite who don’t value anything but material gain even under threat of its and the world’s extinction? And yes, does the European Union have the power to impose its will on everyone?
A group of Kabbalists could initiate the change.

In the News (Smithsonian.com): “There’s nothing new about worrying that machines will take our jobs. …

“According to a Pew Internet Survey released last week, more than two-thirds of Americans think that within 50 years, most jobs will be done by robots or computers—although the vast majority conveniently thought that won’t happen with their own jobs.

“No matter how this plays out, it’s pretty clear that machines will be handling more and more work, particularly now that increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence is enabling them to take on mental task too. And that is raising a big question: When machines dominate the work world, what are all the people they replace going to do for money?

“Remarkably, one idea starting to gain traction is known as universal basic income (UBI). It’s a simple, if somewhat radical concept—each citizen of a country would receive a monthly check from the government, no matter how much money you make and without any strings attached. …

“The truth is that no one knows how people will respond.”

My Comment: I believe that without general education, people will deteriorate in every possible way. Not securing your own food is the most unnatural situation in material existence.

In such cases in wealthy families, there is compulsory education, a system of strict education and work. How will this work according to the desire of the masses?

Kabbalah believes that general information and education that leads to connection and unity with nature and society into a single whole are obligatory throughout a person’s life. This is a compulsory process which society, the nation, and especially the United Nations must take upon themselves; because it is specifically with this that they should be involved.

In the News (PHYS.org): “Although in theory it may seem possible to divide time up into infinitely tiny intervals, the smallest physically meaningful interval of time is widely considered to be the Planck time, which is approximately 10^-43 seconds. This ultimate limit means that it is not possible for two events to be separated by a time smaller than this.

“But now in a new paper, … physicists have demonstrated that the existence of such a minimum time alters the basic equations of quantum mechanics, and as quantum mechanics describes all physical systems at a very small scale, this would change the description of all quantum mechanical systems. …

“The scientists also suggest that the proposed changes to the basic equations of quantum mechanics would modify the very definition of time. …

“On a more philosophical level, the argument that time is discrete suggests that our perception of time as something that is continuously flowing is just an illusion.

“’The physical universe is really like a movie/motion picture, in which a series of still images shown on a screen creates the illusion of moving images,’ Faizal said. ‘Thus, if this view is taken seriously, then our conscious precipitation of physical reality based on continuous motion becomes an illusion produced by a discrete underlying mathematical structure.’”

My Comment: The discreteness of everything is determined by the fact that the basis of nature is the Upper Light, which is divided into an infinite number of parts of desire, but the Light itself is continuous, eternal, and perfect.

It is felt as discrete by the person perceiving it because a person’s desire comprehends all as graduated within the limits of his sensitivity.

We can speak only about how we perceive, not about what phenomena are in themselves as they are outside of our perception.

In the News (France24): “French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve held a day of talks on Islam’s place in France Monday in an effort to better integrate the religion with the ‘values of the Republic’, in the wake of a dispute over the burkini full-body swimsuit.

“Cazeneuve told the La Croix newspaper ahead of Monday’s meeting that he wants to create a foundation to help promote ‘an Islam of France’ that respects French secular values.

“The foundation would finance education and cultural projects and non-religious training of imams, such as history of religion classes, he said.”

(Financial Times): “Compromise has never been Jean-Pierre Chevènement’s forte: over four decades in French politics he resigned from three different ministerial jobs after disagreeing with the government’s line. Still, president François Hollande has entrusted the 77-year-old politician with a highly delicate mission: to quell France’s unsettling row over Islam, the country’s second-largest religion.

“Mr Chevènement insists he will not deal with religious matters. He is instead to preside over the establishment of a new foundation for Islam whose goal will be to ‘build an Islam of France respectful of Republican values’, according to Bernard Cazeneuve, interior minister. The state-backed foundation will fund educational, research and cultural projects. It will also offer training on the rule of law, France’s secular system, known as laicité, and gender equality. A separate religious organisation will be set up to train imams.

“’The idea is to bring Islam and France closer,’ Mr Chevènement says. ‘It’s a sort ofcuisine a la française.’”

My Comment: In principle, this trend exists in every nation. If we are talking about Islam as one of the three world religions, in a country with a prevalent Muslim population, they need to be educated, understand, know the history, geography, people, people well suited to this issue, not terrorists by nature and the extreme left and right. They need to know the Koran and other religions deeply.

Question: Won’t these educated people be frightened of the terrorists?

Answer: The fact is that most people don’t agree with the terrorists. They talk about it and live. We cannot limit ourselves and not live.

Question: Do you see a future for modern Islam?

Answer: Certainly. This is imperative. I wonder why this has not been done before. If 10% of a country’s population are Muslims, it is necessary to enter this stratum. It is only now that we have perceived a need for this because Islam was self-contained and there was no obligation to be involved with it. But now  a compulsory education process will be encouraged by the state, and this is very good.

At the same time, there would be some sort of intelligent layer, maintaining close contact with all other cultures and religions and their place in them.

Through these people it will be possible to work with Islam, to appeal to something, or argue “This professor at the Sorbonne or the University of Lyon or thinks differently.” Although today there are few who consider professors, but all the same, there should be a link to academic, knowledgeable Islamists, and then we can somehow mitigate the situation.

Nevertheless, radical Islam extremists will not consider anyone. All of this makes no difference to them at all. From their point of view, Muslims like these are even greater enemies.

Opinion (Robert Schiller, Nobel Laureate in Economics, Professor of Economics at Yale University, author): “ For the past several centuries, the world has experienced a sequence of intellectual revolutions against oppression of one sort or another. These revolutions operate in the minds of humans and are spread – eventually to most of the world – not by war (which tends to involve multiple causes), but by language and communications technology. …

“I think the next such revolution, likely sometime in the twenty-first century, will challenge the economic implications of the nation-state. It will focus on the injustice that follows from the fact that, entirely by chance, some are born in poor countries and others in rich countries. As more people work for multinational firms and meet and get to know more people from other countries, our sense of justice is being affected.

“Thomas Paine’s pamphlet Common Sense, a huge bestseller in the Thirteen Colonies when it was published in January 1776, marked another such revolution, which was not identical with the Revolutionary War against Britain that began later that year (and had multiple causes). The reach of Common Sense is immeasurable, because it wasn’t just sold but was also read aloud at churches and meetings. …

“The same could be said of the gradual abolition of slavery, which was mostly achieved not by war, but by an emerging popular recognition of its cruelty and injustice. …

“All of the past ‘justice revolutions’ have stemmed from improved communications.”

My Comment: Everything depends on the connections between people. When they begin to feel they belong to a greater whole that is manifested in them subconsciously as the one force that manages them, the Creator, appears in them. Hence, the growing intellect appears in the recognition of dependency, in the new meanings that emerge from the discovery of the connection between us, which is not clear at the moment; it is revelation of the connection between all, the system of Adam (Man).
