Promotion Of Isis On The Internet

laitman_206Opinion (E Novitski): “The terrorist group ‘the Islamic State (ISIS)’ in the past 10 months has surpassed all of its ‘colleagues’ in popularity including the infamous ‘Al-Qaeda.’

“The subject ‘ISIS’ on the Internet is the most discussed in American media environment, and the number of mentions of terrorists has exceeded 250 million. Articles with links of ‘Al- Qaeda did not exceed 45 million. This group became the most famous in the history of international terrorist organizations.

“Against this background, the FBI is concerned about the propaganda of radical Islamic in the social networks Facebook and Twitter. The fanatics are gaining the trust of minors and recruit them to their religious movement.

“Young men follow the idea to take up a noble engagement—to protect the weak with weapons in their hands. Young women are invited to become the wives of these soldiers and gain the comfort of family.

“In one social network Twitter, terrorists are using more than 90,000 accounts, and through the video services of YouTube and Google, the Internet has available records of executions and tortures. In the popular networking site Facebook, there are many groups that in one way or another support the ideas and actions of ISIS.

“Most young people do not watch TV and do not analyze the news, which condemns the actions of ISIS, and calls the organization the cruelest organization. Adolescents receive information directly from the militants and feel there is nothing suspect about executions, torture, and massacres based on Sharia law.

“The appearance and promotion of the brand ISIS comes from none other than the absurd freedom of speech. Special security services automatically block any neo-Nazi content, but do not respond to the harsh propaganda of ISIS.

“Although the material published by terrorists is disgusting, feelings gradually become dulled as the users of the network daily receive new portions of content and calls for Jihad.

“Technically limiting network activity is easy. An example is the mass removal of material containing children pornography from the Internet in recent years. But the fighters of the Islamic state are taking advantage of the freedom that the Internet gives them steadily gains popularity.

“In less than a year of vigorous activity, they were able ‘to become famous’ in the whole world. Moreover, by means of the media, they have attracted to their ranks more than 20,000 foreigners, including minors.

“The budget of the organization, according to independent estimates, is up to several hundred million dollars, and was created thanks to massive donations for their benefit. The terrorists put their strategic plans on the Internet without fear and willfully declare their desire to conquer the Middle East, North Africa, and part of Asia.”

My Comment: In our world, the evil has an advantage over the good in all levels, even if it is harmful and deadly! We must act, and on the level of the DHS and FBI through banning the propaganda. But in general, to carry out actions of correction is against the nature of our world, and only the Upper Light (Ohr Makif) is able to correct our nature partially or fully.

Our attempts to correct ourselves and society worked until our time, but when we became integral (from the year 1995), then only the Upper Light can change us. Therefore, the wisdom of Kabbalah is revealed, and now humanity needs to see that only in its use the correction of the world is concealed.

A Successful Society

laitman_547_06In the News (theoryandpractice.ru): “An educated society is a society that doesn’t need the knowledge of experts. People in such society need no explanations about life and the discoveries about it.

“The goal of education and of studying is to attain the level on which every individual is happy in his private life and at the same time can contribute to the whole society.”

My Comment: I believe that only a system that includes integral education, which the wisdom of Kabbalah offers, can provide the answers to such questions because it gives a person some idea not only about our world but about the entire creation, about its dynamics and its goal, thus making a person happy personally and also beneficial to society.

Is Neighborliness The Remedy For Civil War?

Dr. Michael LaitmanIn the News (echo.msk): “Scientists claim that you need five or more close friends in order to be happy. Friends that you are not only in close contact with but those with whom you also share your worries and your moments of joy, and with whom you share common interests and hobbies.

“Is this possible in today’s realities of the gray and aggressive metropolis? The situation where neighbors living in the same building not only don’t know one another by name, but sometimes don’t even know what the people living in their building look like is very common. Indifference leads to lack of responsibility and the irresponsibility contributes to various social ills starting from poor maintenance of the building to poor maintenance of the country.

“After all, a society in which people are not connected and where neighbors don’t keep in touch and even express hostility towards one another is doomed to both internal and external destruction. It is easy to manipulate people in such a society and to direct the mass consciousness and energy to whichever direction one desires.

“Lonely people without social support who are governed by fear and panic are inclined to inappropriate actions, which in other circumstances, would never have been considered. In such a society the value of human life drops sharply. After all, it is the life of a stranger I don’t know and who even might be hostile to me. As we all know fear and distrust breeds aggression.

“Such a society can easily find itself on the brink of civil war. At such times, people are not only physically but also emotionally and morally defenseless, disoriented, and easily manipulated. This is a very dangerous situation when a person doesn’t have a friend or a neighbor by his side that he can turn to for advice or help or simply to feel secure and that he is part of a good neighborly world.”

My Comment: It is only by the systematic integral education based on the equivalence of form with nature that we can establish a connection between people, create a feeling of togetherness and a new relationship—one desire in which people feel the upper world.

Man—The Redundant Element In The System

Dr. Michael LaitmanOpinion (Vasily Tyutin, publicist): “We are on the verge of a new socioeconomic order. Excessive productivity and production are growing, and the crisis we are facing will be about machines and robots replacing man in different jobs.

“We will not need one another. Man will be unable to sell his work and will only be a potential consumer. Billions will be unable to offer something to one another or to the system, becoming totally useless, looking for food and social services. The major global means for regulating the system will be regulating the population or waging wars that will eliminate redundant people. The alternative version of the future can be a system that doesn’t abuse redundant people.”

My Comment: The future social system will be integral, based on complete voluntary and equal relationships, in the likeness of the structure of the upper governance of the world. We will learn how to build and manage this social structure by practically accepting and implementing the science of Kabbalah.

French Attempt To Combat Anti-Semitism And Racism

Laitman_727In the News (from www.unian.net): “France will spend 100 million Euros in a fight against racism and anti-Semitism. This was announced by Prime Minister Manuel Valls. ‘Racism, anti-Semitism, hatred towards Muslims, foreigners and homophobia are increasing unimaginably,’ he said.

“One of the proposals to combat these phenomena is to make racism and anti-Semitism as an aggravating circumstance of any crime or offense.

“Other proposals relate primarily to the Internet – through the creation of a state body that will monitor the language of hatred, as well as specific educational activities in schools.”

My Comment: The manifestation of hatred will force a struggle against this phenomenon, but to no avail. Because the problem is not in the eradication of hatred; it cannot be eliminated, but in building a level of respect and unity above it towards real love, according to the principle, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” “Love covers all transgressions.”

Evil will not disappear; rather overcoming it is done through even greater connection. We build such an attitude gradually, together, through the Upper Light, the Surrounding Light. The wisdom of Kabbalah explains how this will be realized. All the other attempts will fail.

The End Of The Oil Age

laitman_273_01In the News (from novosti.ru): “Originally a task was established to create a new versatile and inexpensive source of energy. This is why scientists used the most widespread elements on earth—carbon dioxide and hydrogen.

“Unique nanomaterials were developed as catalysts in the process of creating an energy source. The process of creating ‘green fuel’ has turned out to be not only absolutely clean from an ecological aspect, but also cheaper than the extraction of oil and its refinement.

“Hydrogen is extracted from water, which is then mixed with carbon dioxide extracted from the air. The mixture is put into a reactor with a solid nanocatalyst. The output is organic liquid and gas energy. The resources used for the fuel production don’t require high expenditures.

“Generated fuel can immediately be delivered to refineries instead of oil. It can be produced right there, eliminating the need to extract raw materials and pump it thousands of kilometers, as is done now.

“The resulting product has already been successfully tested in cars with gasoline and diesel engines and even on airplanes. The new achievement doesn’t cause any damage to engines. Israeli experts are planning the industrial development to be deployed in around five years.”

My Comment: Nature has prepared inexhaustible reserves of energy and abundance for us, but we will be able to adapt and absorb them on the condition of our “correct” behavior. Otherwise, as usual, the evil of humanity will not make it possible for it to enjoy the fruits of their labor and the possibilities offered by nature.

“Yarmolnik, Go Back To Israel!”

Dr. Michael LaitmanIn the News (from mnenia.zahav.ru): “After hearing this advice on a television program on the first Russian channel, the writer Yuri Mowaor-Muradov responded: ‘When I heard this call 25 years ago, I did that and emigrated to my Israel….’

“I relate with understanding to the Jews who have remained there for all kinds of considerations, because of an emotional attachment to the state, because of a cultural affinity with it, for economic and ideological reasons…I have a completely different complaint against them.

“For decades we have heard this sanctified phrase, ‘Go back to Israel!’ from the mouths of the ‘native’ residents of greater Russia, incorrigible drunks and the educated, externally normative people, the poor and the rich, dandies from the capital city and the residents of remote places. And I want to tell the Jews who are living in Russia that after all they must have a response to this call. This should be a normative answer and not just a fist in the face of the anti-Semites, which is also a legitimate response to this situation.

“I am talking about an appropriate response on the verbal level. This is because going out of the studio and slamming the door hard is not an answer. This is more acceptable as a powerless response for someone who has no answer to the ‘hot’ advice that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Russians are ready to subscribe.

“Yarmolnik is a public figure; his statement can cause widespread resonance. He cannot justify himself by saying that apparently he was embarrassed, that the despicable act of his opponent was a kind of surprise for him. He has been a television announcer for many years; he doesn’t feel himself inhibited by the studio because of the floodlights, cameras and microphones. He cannot rely on the attack of the opponent caught him off guard.

“Even I, from my wonderful distance, see that the Jewish question appears as a background in every argument in Russia, political or economic, in the subject of social order, when talking about democracy, ethics, ecology, and, as we see now, even in a discussion about a seemingly completely cosmopolitan subject like the protection of our little brothers.

“Why have the Jews come to such unexpected public opposition like this? I don’t know what his answer or that of other Jews in Russia could have been. But I know that if they still remain in a country where such a great mass of people are wondering why they don’t move on and leave for ‘their Israel,’ then they should have come up with a response for a long time already. Each one should have his response, according to his views, feelings and principles.

“For Yarmolnik the unique opportunity to finally respond to all of Russia on the main television channel became possible. That same ‘transplanted’ anti-Semite gave him the opportunity to respond. Yarmolnik needed to do this for all of the Jews who live there and for the Jews of the whole world who are fed up with hearing these rude cries, and also finally for the sake of the Russians themselves.

“He should have answered: ‘We live in Russia according to such and such a right, there is an ethical right, and all of your legal requirements for us to live here. It is up to you to permit this here and not in some other nation.’ He could have recalled that his forefathers shed blood while defending this country, talking about the men and women who cured the sick, taught children, created industry, advanced science, served the people with their creativity for years. And ultimately recall that generations of our ancestors are buried in the soil of that nation. I don’t know, I am now writing all of this impromptu, yet it is possible to prepare our thoroughly thought out and considered speech for the next time.

“It is up to you to make this speech at least once, don’t slam the door, don’t make yourselves wretched and insulted; this is forgivable in someone else, but for you, writers, journalists, actors and scientists, this is unforgivable. Give an overwhelming response without entering into a verbal conflict with an idiot. Use a microphone and camera that broadcasts throughout the country, and finally give a prepared and convincing speech that will later be quoted for decades in reaction to situations like these.

“But now, the statement, ‘Yarmolnik, go back to Israel’ was said, and indeed what did he do, he got up and left, and this is encompassing and extends throughout the entire Russian-speaking world.”

My Comment: In spite of all it all, I see the advice to go back to Israel as completely correct, legitimate, and natural from a Russian regarding a Jew. We can look for excuses in a modern world where everyone is mixed up and lost…but this isn’t so. In any place that there is a massive relocation from one place to another, conflicts are created, sometimes decades or even hundreds of years later!

There is a special bond among all people within themselves and a special rejection between people. As much as it may seem that in our time everything is ready for complete mixing, the differences between peoples still manifest and require correction.

Kabbalah says there are 70 nations in the world and the people of Israel. As much as they are becoming mixed together artificially, this mixture is external, and there will be a need to correct it with an inner unity. It will appear in our world as a single, integral and global world, which is what we are seeing in our day. And therefore we, the Jews, have received the opportunity to reveal the method of unification, the wisdom of Kabbalah, through our return to Israel, later bringing that to the nations of the world. So I see that the advice to go back to Israel has its place and time.

Europe In Decline

Dr. Michael LaitmanIn the News (T&P): “There is no hope for the old Europe. Europe and European capitalism are in decline and have lost their dominant position.

“The United States has tried to establish colonies in Europe, but this is causing its own destruction, they cannot hold onto their control throughout the world.

“The world was divided into many nations influenced by Western capitalism, the United States, Britain, Germany, and the small nations that depend upon them, where the comprador bourgeoisie dominates (a part of the bourgeoisie of economically failed states), interested in sending capital and foreign investment to its nation to supply its citizens with work and maintain peace in its society. The government is concerned only about short-term goals: The nation becomes dependent, whereas the accumulation of capital is done outside of its borders.

As a result of this, a nation doesn’t have its own economy and has no economic policy. The nation reacts to the historical situation, answers the challenge, and creates zero ideology, a framework in which it is possible to develop any ideology. We are living in communities of national identity and they are more depressed than the nation, for the moment that you become stigmatized, they immediately throw you out of the community and begin to attack.”

My Comment: All this is developing naturally as the last stage of the growing egoism. In order to replace it, it is desirable and will inevitably come to the next stage of human development, which is altruism,  the principle of “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” The achievement of this state is possible only with the help and impact of the quality of bestowal and love, the so-called “Upper Light.”

A Placebo’s Effect Lies In The Power Of Belief

Dr. Michael LaitmanIn the News (The Mind Unleashed): “Research on the placebo effect is revealing some amazing discoveries about the power of belief. Placebos were created to control for suggestion, imagination, and bias in both investigators and patients in clinical studies. At the time placebos were first introduced into medical research, investigators didn’t know how they produced their effects. As the field of neuroscience has evolved, it is becoming clear that belief induced within the context surrounding the placebo produces very specific and powerful physiologic effects.

“Research shows there are actually multiple placebo effects. In other words, there are multiple ways the placebo influences the body-mind to heal depending upon the therapy or condition being treated. This research shows that the placebo effect is mediated by the release of neurotransmitters, consistently impacts certain areas of the brain, and even mirrors the action of pharmaceutical drugs on human physiology.

“Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials are the gold standard for proving effectiveness of a medication. The placebo effect provides insight into the complexity of consciousness and how little we really know about the mind and its ability to heal. But the scientific evidence is accumulating and points towards the possibility that the mind has an unlimited healing ability.

“Research shows that a placebo exactly mimics a drug’s effect when the patient has been exposed to the drug prior to the placebo. This has been shown with pain medications, an immune suppressing medication, an anti-Parkinson’s agent, and an anti-anxiety drug. What’s even more amazing is that the placebo effect can even be quantified based on what is told to the patient regarding the likelihood they will be getting a drug.

“The placebo effect emphasizes the importance of belief in overall health and wellness. Be positive in what you say and be discerning about what you believe. Your body-mind is listening.”

My Comment: It is not about belief in higher powers but in the power of self-hypnosis, the authority of the  doctor, and the power of medication. Multiple increases of this force is possible during a group’s influence on participants and the impact of the group on each participant.

We usually neglect the intangible effects on a person, but the human being is a complex and composite creature who may be influenced in many ways.

Kabbalah believes that the intangible effects are most effective in how a person’s inner world can be changed, in addition to his behavior and health.

Consciousness Is Structured Light

Dr. Michael LaitmanIn the news (econet): “Light penetrates the brain through living tissue transferring photons. Microtubules conduct vibration, and neurons, the dendrites, transmit photon waves from one cell to another.

“In this process there is no loss of energy. The microtubules form lines of connection throughout the body, thus creating interaction between the quantum field and the human brain. This system is reminiscent of a biological internet, a network of microtubules and dendritic membranes.

“Neurons communicate (speak) with each other using a quantum process. Microtubules form a structure that creates a sequence of waves in our bodies. We call this process, ‘surplus luminescence.’

“It makes it possible for sequences of signals to pass through the body and the coordination of signals provides for a command to the photons to move through the tubes of light. Such a phenomenon has been called, ‘intrinsic illumination.’ When the photons penetrate through the core of the microscopic tubules, they connect with other elements. That is how collective cooperation of subatomic particles is produced.

“This makes it possible for us to think and reflect about different things simultaneously. Specifically, cooperation coordinates the entire body and the instantaneous reaction of the mind, transmitting information within one-ten-thousandth of a second.

“The electrons, being found in a quantum state, move in channels of light and together, remain isolated and independent. The main optic fiber is coordinated and organized energy. The microscopic tubules are hollow, whereas the quantum process takes place in structured water that is found within them. Rays of light are created there, their diameter accommodated to the size of the microtubules and reaching the absolute value of 15 nanometers.

“Consciousness is structured light, which, as a global phenomenon, encompasses the entire body and mind. Processes in the human body as an organism give rise to quantum oscillations. The body of a person creates a mutual turnover of information with the quantum field, proving that there is an inclusive connection that determines the factuality of unity; living organisms and the essential independent existence of charged particles cooperate mutually within the quantum field and exchange quantum information between them.”

My Comment: The title of the post: “Consciousness Is Structured Light” obviously implies that everything was created and realized by means of the Upper Light and its branch in this world, photons.

Science has finally begun to speak the language of Kabbalah, which is itself a science.

Baal HaSulam writes that: a) The suffering in our lives, and b) The discovery of the unique nature of our world, will bring humanity to an awareness of the truth of the wisdom of Kabbalah that determines and reveals this unity in everything. We must move towards unity with other people and reduce the search for truth through suffering.
