When will things finally be good here?

When each of us

thinks

not only of himself

but of everyone

Therefore Choose Life

Many people turn to me with concerns about the future. Our future depends on understanding what is taking place. When we understand the thought of creation, we will find that we are happy, confident, and whole.

We did not really have free will until the 21st century. We developed in a coercive, automated manner, alongside the constant heightening of egoistic drives.

Now that the human ego has culminated, an opportunity for freedom of choice arises. Now we can rise above our egoistic nature, and cease being dependent on it.

If we realize this opportunity, we will rise directly (and least painfully) to another nature, another dimension of reality, another sensation of life—in the entire volume of reality, in eternity and perfection.

Nature’s plan will be executed whether or not we choose the path of conscious transition to the upper dimension, just as it has until today. However, without our participation, it will come alongside the harsh impact of the “press of evolution” upon us.

We are the only intelligent creatures in the world, and everything was created for us, as we are the only ones who can emerge into a higher dimension.

The task is serious; the goal is wonderful. The current state of humanity requires searching; hence, it is a good situation. For this reason, I do not relate to it with anxiety, but rather with much hope.

Building a World

We let our children

play with Lego, assemble puzzles, and solve problems

in short, create.

This is how they learn.

The Creator created Creation as perfect.

However, to give us a chance to grow to His level,

He completely shredded it,

down to the state of our world,

so we would recreate that perfect state.

From Separate Souls to Unity

Only in the harmonious connection

of the body parts

was healthy life created.

Within the correct bonding among people

reveals the connection

where the upper life is hidden,

the feeling of eternity and wholeness.

The impasse we have reached today

highlights the need for a transition

from the stage where souls are separated by the ego

to the stage of unity

where we reveal the upper life.

“Love your neighbor as yourself”

is the law of nature

as nature is a living body

where all parts are interconnected

Ecology—A Shift of Perception

All of our problems stem from our view of ourselves as separate from nature, distinguishing man from his environment.

Such perception of nature makes us regard all that surrounds us as subordinate to man. Even when we care for the environment, it is only for our own pleasure and not out of consideration for the whole system of nature.

Violating the balance of the closed system of nature evokes a negative feedback. And since we are an outcome of nature, we suffer on all levels of our existence.

Therefore, we must change our approach from a perception of “protecting the environment” to a perception of “man as an integral part of nature.”

According to Kabbalah, our thoughts and desires are the strongest forces in reality, and are the primary cause of all the changes in nature.

The problem is that the impact of our thoughts on nature is concealed from us.

As a result, we measure only our external impact, such as gas emissions and waste pollution, while the internal cause still awaits treatment at the root.

It is well worth our while to recognize

that protecting the environment

primarily entails protecting ourselves

from our own egos.

And the sooner the better.

Global Hunger Is Not a Must

Our planet can feed

an unlimited number of people,

if they do not get in its way,

and if they bond

throughout the planet

as organs of a complete body.

The Stone Age in High-Tech Decor

On one hand, the ego is the force that leads to development. On the other hand, the intensification of the ego threatens all of us with crises, terror, even with a world war, and we are helpless in face of this situation. If we look ahead, it seems as though we’re headed back to a Stone Age in high-tech decor.

How are we to emerge from this impasse? Kabbalah introduces into our worldview the concept of a “hierarchy of forces” that govern each of us individually, along with the society as a whole.

Kabbalah does not eliminate the ego, but rather robes it with a more global force—intention (of love and bestowal) atop the desire (to receive). It is a broader perception of reality, which transcends the limited perception of self-gratification.

Kabbalah offers a groundbreaking method of coordinating between the two opposite forces. It explains that these forces have fundamentally different natures—the nature of the Creator and the nature of the creature. When they do not compete, but unite, a perfect and eternal state arises.
