In the News (ScienceDaily): “A new trend taking shape in psychological science not only uses quantum physics to explain humans’ (sometimes) paradoxical thinking, but may also help researchers resolve certain contradictions among the results of previous psychological studies. …

“‘We have accumulated so many paradoxical findings in the field of cognition, and especially in decision-making,’ said Wang, who is an associate professor of communication and director of the Communication and Psychophysiology Lab at The Ohio State University.

“’Whenever something comes up that isn’t consistent with classical theories, we often label it as “irrational.” But from the perspective of quantum cognition, some findings aren’t irrational anymore. They’re consistent with quantum theory–and with how people really behave.’ …

“Their work suggests that thinking in a quantum-like way¬–essentially not following a conventional approach based on classical probability theory–enables humans to make important decisions in the face of uncertainty, and lets us confront complex questions despite our limited mental resources. …

“Quantum cognition is what happens when humans have to deal with ambiguity mentally. Sometimes we aren’t certain about how we feel, or we feel ambiguous about which option to choose, or we have to make decisions based on limited information. …

“As we mull over our options, we envision them in our mind’s eye. For a time, all the options co-exist with different degrees of potential that we will choose them: That’s superposition. Then, when we zero in on our preferred option, the other options cease to exist for us.

“The task of modeling this process mathematically is difficult in part because each possible outcome adds dimensions to the equation. …

“With the quantum approach, Wang and her colleagues argued, many different and complex aspects of behavior can be explained with the same limited set of axioms.”

My Comment: We are not the ones who make decisions. Our only decision is whether to be integrated in unity by using the power of the right environment, which we can construct by ourselves.

It is only in this way that we can determine all of our other decisions, whiich are absolutely derivatives of this one free decision. See the article, “The Freedom” by Baal HaSulam. In other words, the principle of superposition says that we determine our actions to the degree of their resemblance (accommodation) to the higher categorical principle of the characteristic of bestowal, connection, and love.

Comment: American bio-technologists are studying how to resurrect people who have died. It refers to people who are brain dead but whose internal organs are still functioning. It is possible to revive a person who is a vegetative state and to bring him back to life. Such experiments will now be performed on human beings and substantial funding has been allocated for this research.

Answer: The whole point is that they are working for the funding since otherwise they will have nothing to do. The question is what for?! According to Judaism when a person dies you should call the funeral home to bury the body in the ground as soon as possible. He doesn’t feel anything anymore anyway; he is dead, so why should he be resurrected?! When the brain dies it is actually complete death. After that a person will never be the same but can be like a robot or a zombie.

If the brain is dead nothing can be done, the body will move automatically, but it will not be a human being anymore since the neurons die first. I believe that such resurrection of the dead makes no sense at all. We have recently spoken about the fact that people will live to be 150 or even 200, but what’s the point? Is it only because of the fear of death that we postpone it?! I am for the natural course of events.

Comment: But we still need to maintain the life of a person who is brain dead and who is in coma for a long time.

Answer: I don’t think this is necessary. Everything should happen naturally. What is the point of connecting a person to instruments that keep his organs alive? This isn’t the normal functioning of the body since a person doesn’t connect to the external world this way, so what is the point in that?

Question: Do you mean that it is all done mainly in order to attain funding?

Answer: Of course! Science is holding onto and relying on funding. Otherwise what will scientists do? We should eventually realize that we cannot defeat the natural flow of life. We will only find out that we have to live under natural conditions since this is what our body was created for. No one will gain from extending our life expectancy. It is a finite process in any case, since the future holds different kinds of life for us, which are much better than the worst of all the worlds.

In the News (rg-rb.de): “The majority of people in Germany believe the domestic media is controlled: against the background of the crises of recent years, ‘the fourth power’ has become a support tool of the elite to impose the desired opinions on the citizens.

“A representative sociological survey conducted on the eve of World Press Freedom Day (3 May) … makes it clear: the people of Germany do not believe in the independence of the media. Six out of ten respondents believe that the German news media are controlled and supported by the establishment. On the news, you can influence – both in their content and in the form of feed materials, according to respondents. …

“’The dark forces controlling the media—more than half (54%) of Germans believe it is controlled by politicians and big business (the lobbyists and pressure from advertising clients). More than half of respondents believe that the news media in Germany controlled by the state, the government, corporations, and influential stakeholder groups. …Sociologists note dissatisfaction with the political, economic elites and distrust toward them is rooted in German society as a result of crises in recent years.”

My Comment: In the developed egoistic world it cannot be otherwise! If the media are a tool for control over people, then how is it possible to leave them unmanaged?! Unmanaged, unpaid for communications media does not exist. That is how it is in every nation. The dependence of the media will disappear only with the disappearance of egoistic dependence between people, with the transition to a new society.

 Remark: According to studies that were conducted recently, Europe is becoming a continent of drugs. Recently 98 new drugs have appeared that have a narcotic effect. For every 1,000 of the European population, there is a need for 500-1000 milligrams of drugs.

Answer: The phenomenon of drugs hosted by the government of every nation and the world government as a whole, is very easy: give a person so many grams of drugs and he is calm and happy.

So soon they will give everyone drugs in the form of cocktails or a special cup of coffee for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They will even give them in schools instead of the drugs given to children today for various problems. This is something that will happen in the near future, and as a result of this, it will be easier for the world.

But the fact is, this is not a correction. After all, we are in a certain natural system that must bring us to the disclosure of the managing force to ensure we will take upon ourselves the management of the world.

We need to rise to the level of the upper force (the Creator); this has been given not just to the Kabbalists, but to everyone. When a person understands everything that is happening, he can consciously participate in the work of the one integral system, independently turning this entire “clockwork” in unison with everyone else, meaning that he feels the entire system of creation, its flow and direction. This should be discovered soon.

Question: Recent polls show that more and more citizens of the European Union want to leave it. In England today, they account for 50% of the population, and in France and Sweden, 38%.

At the end of the month, a final poll will be conducted in England, and it is possible that the nation will leave the European Union.

Do you think it is a matter of time until, in one way or another, everything will break up?

Answer: I was sure of this from the start because instead of a union of hearts, a European market was created, not a union.

Question: So where is this going and what can be done?

Answer: Nothing except to leave quietly while this is still possible. I believe the EU leaders will not come to anything, but in the meantime, they haven’t heard us.

We, as Kabbalists, cannot come to them and convince them that we are right. They have another belief system and understanding, so they will not accept our approach.

Question: Is this liable to end in war?

Answer: The problem is that everything is unpredictable. I can predict the operation of systems that are in dynamic development, or the opposite, in anti-development. And there is not one or the other. Soon, another million refugees will arrive in Europe. All seething as in a cauldron, and it is unclear what will happen.

Question: Will the division of Europe happen specifically because of the refugees?

Answer: If there were no refugees, Europe would experience a much simpler breakup of the union. The nations of the EU would have found a common path.

Question: Could a leader appear who could unite Europe?

Answer: Do you mean a new Hitler? That is absolutely possible. Such a revolution could happen in France and Hungary, that is, nations that are particularly close to Nazism. And the rest of the nations would support it. Each one would have its own leader. But nothing can be predicted.

We are arriving at the next stage of the world. I do not predict, but only talk about the fact that we must very quickly and urgently bring the upper force of goodness and love. How this power will act in the world is not our concern. Our role is to bring Light to the nations of the world.

In the News (vestifinance.ru): “The members of the Bilderberg Club, whose meetings behind closed doors for more than half a century, is an occasion for all sorts of conspiracy theories, once again synchronize watches on key issues on the agenda of the globalist Western elites.

“In 2016 the meeting place for ‘Bilderberg’ guests has become Dresden. …

“Here as always, on the site of the permanent attributes of protest against the Bilderberg meetings: claimed to discuss topics traditionally vague and provide only approximate information:

1. Current events. 2. China. 3. Europe: migration, growth, reform, vision and unity. 4. Middle East. 5. Russia. 6. US political landscape, the economy: growth, debt, reform. 7. Cybersecurity. 8. Geopolitics of Energy and commodity prices. 9. Prekariat and the middle class. 10. Technological innovations. What it will include a discussion of these topics? …

“As always with Bilderberg, it’s just guesses. In this case the main thing is not what is going on behind closed doors. The fact that over the past 60 years, a meeting of representatives of the authorities, the heads of major banks, energy companies, defense corporations, major media of western countries leaves no secret aura of paranoia and speculation, It does not add to the fans ‘Bilderberg’. …

“‘Daniel Estulin, author of the acclaimed bestseller Who rules the world? Or the whole truth about Bilderberg, describes the meeting as a “meeting of the shadow world government … threatening to take away our right to manage our destiny, creating a disturbing reality”. “Imagine a private club where presidents, prime ministers, bankers and generals closely communicate, where people who make war and affect the markets, saying that they would never dare to say publicly,” – he said. In the overwhelming majority ‘Bilderberg’ represent the interests of global capital. They are not accountable to the population. At the same time they discuss issues that directly affect many people… .’”

My Comment: This is characteristic and natural in our egoistic world. They think that they own the controls. Each one of them wants to take everything, and they all agree how to peacefully divide the world. But there is no reason to worry about their decisions because everything is done from above. The Creator establishes and materializes our desires.

If we know how to ask, to raise MAN, we determine the managerial influence that comes down from above! But this is the role of all the people of Israel, meaning all those who are prepared to raise the right request to the Creator. The group of Kabbalists of Bnei Baruch are disseminating the wisdom of Kabbalah, the method for correctly influencing the managing upper force, the Creator; while the powerful rulers in this world are no more than “puppets on strings”—conductors of this force.

Question: It turns out that there is still slavery in the modern world. 45 million people around the world are abused as slaves. This number is equivalent to the population of Spain.

According to recent research, slavery is the exploitation of a person who cannot leave because of threats of violence, coercion, or deception. People can be enslaved because of a debt and so forth.

Answer: Before the destruction of the Second Temple the slaves among the nation of Israel had many privileges. The landlord was required to take care of his slave, and the slave was obliged to work for the landlord according to his powers and his abilities. At the same time, the relationship between them was normal and mutual, just as they are today between an employer and an employee. A slave did not want to leave his landlord because the latter provided everything he needed, as it is written, “… give your slave your pillow.”

As for other nations, they had a completely different attitude toward slaves. They beat them, humiliated them, killed them, and did not treat them as human beings, not even as domestic animals, which were looked after, cherished, and fed.

Question: What is slavery from a Kabbalistic perspective?

Answer: According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, slavery is total obedience to your landlord, “This is what the landlord wants, so this is how I move.” A slave constantly looks to the landlord and carries out his will, and at the same time, totally suppresses his own desire. His efforts, his opinion, his desires, and his thoughts all are aimed at the landlord’s desire so as to continue the latter’s desire. A slave has no desire of his own, but only the desire of the landlord.

Question: Can we say that, in this world, we all are slaves to our egoistic nature?

Answer: Of course! We also can say that we are the Creator’s slaves, but unconsciously! This is because the Creator is the only force of nature that manages us, but He wants us to be independent. This is our problem: to be independent of Him and even above Him!

It is written, “My sons have defeated Me,” which means becoming free of slavery, becoming totally independent, and taking the leadership of the entire world from the Creator’s hands. This is His real desire, His dream. And we, unfortunately, do not want to think about something higher, more sublime, and thus we remain slaves and live as animals.

Therefore the Creator pushes us through suffering so that we will perceive and understand our absolutely poor, paltry, miserable, and limited state, and will want to rise from it.

I hope that as the sufferings grow, people will begin to perceive and understand that. There is no other way to influence people. Then, people will use what the Creator offers them: His knowledge, His method, His wisdom, the wisdom of Kabbalah.

If we begin to implement it, we will see how much we gain from becoming the masters and ceasing to be slaves. This is how we enter a completely different level of existence, a world of eternity, infinity, and perfection, a totally different entity, a different dimension. But this is for free people.

Opinion (inosmi.ru): “When the resettlement of peoples is portrayed as a crisis related to refugees, it is the main reason we help and do not betray the weak. For the next four years, the government plans to bring another 100-125 thousand migrants from the Middle East. The government is behaving as if immigration -is a kind of natural disaster, which can not be stopped. The truth is quite the opposite: immigration – is a political catastrophe that can stop tomorrow. …

“Every time on the news or in debates you hear the word ‘refugee’ and ‘immigration crisis,’ you can be sure that you are being misled. This is done either by those who do not know what they are talking about, or – and it’s even worse! – they really know but prefer to use the wrong concept.. …. The word ‘refugee’ hides the fact that we are dealing with a permanent migration of peoples, and not with some transient migratory crisis. …

“When the refugee prefers to leave the camp and secure the country’s status, in the UN their status is changed from refugee to economic migrants. And the same rights are not guaranteed to economic migrants. In fact, economic migrants means illegal migrants in the country that the person either crosses or where he stops. So, why is the press, politicians, experts and participants in the debate in our country still talking about refugees, if we hardly have taken …  countless migrants, i.e., illegal immigrants? …

“Why do politicians and the media continue to deceive the public, making it think that you’re helping or allowing immigration to Europe, or you’re just cold and cynical? We can imagine several explanations. The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that politicians and the press from the heart believe that Europe one way or another should swallow this monstrous Migration. But it is -. … the EU over the years has agreed with immigration for fear of falling birth rates in Europe.

“Instead of paying attention to the circumstances that lead to a drop in the birth rate, the rate was made up with immigration. And first with those from the Middle East, including Turkey. In 1992, immigration has exceeded the natural increase of the EU population.The total number of residents in the 28 EU countries has grown from about 400 million in 1960 to 500 million today. In 2014, immigration ‘contributed’ to 85% of the increase in the population. Thus, immigration – is the EU’s strategy, although Danish politicians can hardly recognize it officially.”

Answer: The mistake the EU is making is hoping that the refugees’ mentality will change. However, in fact, the opposite actually will happen. The Moslems will force Europe to convert to Islam, and this actually will happen during one generation. According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, Ishmael (the son of Abraham and the father of the Islamic nation) will conquer Europe at the end of times and then will set on his journey to Jerusalem.

In the News (Daily Mail): “One of Europe’s wealthiest villages is refusing to accept any asylum seekers – and has instead voted to pay a fine of £200,000.

“Fears women and children could be at risk from sex attacks as well as the disruption to their peaceful way of life has led the super-rich of Switzerland’s alpine resort of Oberwil-Lieli to vote ‘no’ in a referendum to accept just ten migrants.

“The picturesque village, where 300 millionaires make up 2,200 population, they all used their financial muscle to reject a Government imposed quota.

“Some of Oberwil-Lieli’s wealthiest residents even offered to personally foot part of the fine being imposed by the Swiss authorities for refusing to house refugees.

“‘We do not want them here it is as simple as that,’ one resident of the village told MailOnline.

“‘We have worked hard all our lives and have a lovely village that we do not want it spoiled. We are not suited to take in refugees. They would not fit in here.’

“Surrounded by lush green pastures and with stunning views of the snow-capped Alps in the distance, the twin villages of Oberwil and Lieli would not look out of place on the front of a box of chocolates. …

“The roads are spotlessly clean, gardens are immaculately kept and despite its proximity to the country’s major city Zurich of 10 miles there is little traffic.

“Add a zero crime rate and it is not hard to see why homes in the villages cost upwards of £1million with many others worth three times as much.

“It is this idyll that villagers, a mixture of retirees and young families, voted to keep fearing an influx of migrants would change their way of life.”

My Comment: If we wanted to live in a normal, serene, beautiful, and quiet city where most of the population are wealthy Christians and Catholics, and suddenly poor Muslims join us with a different culture, language, religion, and mentality, naturally we wouldn’t want to accept them.

If the overwhelming majority of the local residents don’t want the refugees, the government has no right to force them. It cannot go against the people. Otherwise, why does it exist?

Question: How can Europe control the avalanche of refugees?

Answer: Only by introducing a rigid integral education that speaks about the unification of all people into one supra-national, supra-religious whole, above all differences between people, according to the general rule, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18).

Question: Is it possible to introduce this strictly?

Answer: If people want to live together, what else can be suggested to them? It only can be like this.

Question: One way or another, we see that everything is happening under an unseen management. What is the idea of a higher power that is directing the refugees toward Europe?

Answer: In this way, the Creator is pushing us toward correction so that we would understand that this is not the way.
In any case, we will have to begin to learn and engage in integral education.

Question: Great demographic changes are expected in the near future. Life expectancy is rising and the number of elderly people is growing, while the number of young people is declining.

For 51 years, from 1960 to 2011, the world population grew from three billion people to seven billion. The European population is expected to decrease by 10%, while the population in Africa and Asia is expected to grow by 30%. From 2010 until 2030, there will be a demand for 734 million new jobs and society’s greatest enemy will be aging.

The fact that people today can live to the age of 85 to 90 is a big problem for all of humanity.

Answer: Of course, and why do we need to live for so many years?

Question: A person has a desire to live.

Answer: Suppose we could add some magic potion to our drinking water and prolong people’s life by 50 years. What then?

I believe that a person was not born to work and produce more, sell more, buy more, pollute the earth more, and so on.

A person must dedicate his life to studying and exploring the structure of humanity and to correcting the connection between people since through that he attains an upper energy, the upper goal.

If a person comes to this state, through correcting himself and the world, he saturates the world with goodness, with the upper energy, and then life is worth living.

Therefore, all of the billions of people who come along and the billions who will live 50 years longer must become part of a new integral education system so that they will be taught to be human beings who will bring affluence, freedom, and “oxygen” into our society.

Thus, the problem of unemployment will be solved, the problem of “extra mouths to feed” and all of our problems will be solved without exception.

Everything depends only on the degree to which we are harmonious with nature, a harmony that can exist only when we ascend above our ego. If we do that, everyone will feel good, and if we don’t, then no matter how many people there are, things  will only get worse.
