AL-QAEDA leader Osama bin Laden blamed the US and western industrial nations for climate change. He held western countries responsible for desertification, floods, global warming and hunger in the Third World, and called for “drastic” rather than partial solutions to climate change.
According to Kabbalah, none of our actions really have any effect on climate changes. The only thing left is to accept the opinion of Kabbalah that we harm Nature by our egoistic desires, since we set ourselves against it. In fact, a human being is the only egoistic element in Nature, and thus causes a break in Nature’s balance and harmony.
Only when we start searching for different methods of reaching balance with Nature will we find the only true method offered by Kabbalah, the purpose of which is to cause Nature itself to bring out the force of man’s correction.
Bill Gates believes it could take several more years for the economy to fully rebound from the great recession, which many economists say began in earnest in late 2008 with the collapse of Lehman Bros and other investment houses.
Gates said he talked to co-trustee Warren Buffett “more than ever” during the past year to gain a better understanding of the financial meltdown.
In reality, people are already guessing that the crisis is not in finance, but in the need to change our general attitude toward life, ourselves, the world, and Nature. The problem is that we understand that we need to change, but we don’t know how and what to change, and we won’t find these things out by ourselves. We will keep receiving blows, but we won’t know how to evade them correctly.
Nature demands that we rise to the “human” level, which is a level we know nothing about because its qualities are opposite to our current level.
If there does exist the Divine force that has created us, why then do we not perceive it, why does it conceal itself from us? For if we knew what it required of us, we would not commit mistakes in our lives for which we are punished by suffering!
We know how much torment and pain that are worse than death mankind has suffered since the creation of the world. And who is the source of all that suffering, who causes it but the Creator? And how many there have been in all mankind’s history who were willing to suffer any pain for the sake of comprehending superior wisdom and achieving spiritual elevation, who voluntarily subjected themselves to unbearable anguish and agony for the sake of finding at least a drop of spiritual perception and comprehending the higher force, of becoming united with the Creator and able to be His slaves!
A state of lack of thoughts of the Creator is regarded as a curse. But evil thoughts (thoughts that oppose the Creator) are not considered a curse, because they still maintain contact with the Creator, a situation that is better than not having any contact with Him.
The purpose of Kabbalah (Heb. Reception), which is only giving, is opposite to those who think only of themselves. As a result of that, all the terms of Kabbalah bear an opposite meaning to the ones we have in this world. We tend to materialize spiritual concepts and relate them to ourselves. Thus, we interpret the curse as something that goes against us and not against the Creator.
There is no need to sentence man to death. Disappearance of light – this is death by itself. Spiritual death is losing the connection with the Creator. We are yet to attain such a level while living in this world.
A person who has never had a connection with the Creator, does not feel its loss. Existing below the line of Machsom (boundary, separating spiritual and corporeal worlds), we do not perceive the spiritual, and thus are not considered dead. Only a person who knew he was alive and felt the Creator’s light but later ceased receiving Him, can be called dead.
