Kabbalah insights into the current global crisis

Governments around the world have difficulty in meeting the promises made to voters because of oil prices and the slowdown in global economic growth. Indeed, the economic conditions have changed since last year and it is increasingly difficult to meet all the promises made to the families of workers, entrepreneurs, businesses, local governments to meet the infrastructure needs of future generations and save the planet.

We had a great race for economic growth since the Asianthe credit crisis and the bursting of the dotcom bubble. We thought this time would be immune from recession, Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve is responsible. Even now, there are rumors saying that it goes well, the growing consumerism of China and India continue to take the train from the global economy. We changed our worship of new idols.

If this could be true. But history shows that it is unlikely to be the case. In the last 100year only, a series of economic shocks that shine vividly in our minds as a reminder of the caution, just to name a few: 1929, 1939, 1973, 1979, 1989 and 1990 in Japan, 1998, 2000. Regularly boom end in busts, so happy times in tears.

Many things can go wrong that have not yet taken into account in our forecasts: disasters afflicting China, for example, can eventually cause inflation and depressing output, increasing the cost of food in less developed inland areas of China andelsewhere in Asia could trigger massive social unrest, lack of water could lead to increased public spending and even cross-border disputes in the interest of access to water.

Every nation has to think outside the box. The degree of interdependence of our economic and financial systems around the world, our dependence on foreign markets and production capacity abroad, our dependence on international capital markets, where China is an importanttaxpayer, it is unrealistic to think we can be free of ups and downs. There is an intellectual model of reality that captures all relevant factors, including what Nassim Nicholas Taleb calls "Black Swan" high impact is difficult to predict, and rare event beyond the realm of normal expectations.

What then should governments do? Not much to do. Depends on us, ordinary citizens to guide decisions. Let us fight for our individual participation has decreasedcake? Or we can act differently?

Not everything is bad in difficult times. This is a moment of personal growth, unity in adversity, time itself a limitation for the benefit of others. Naturally we are ashamed of wasting money and wasting scarce resources, it is clear that family friends and neighbors will be less for him. There is also a time when faith in the future becomes critical.

An important change is now mandatory for allnations of the world, particularly in developed countries. It is obvious that the world is interconnected, we must realize that humanity is a nation integrated with several provinces. Each province has its strengths, weaknesses, needs and aspirations. But all are part of one. Our solidarity and self-control is now held for the benefit of everyone, including those who do not speak the same language we speak, do not share the same beliefs, have adifferent colour of skin or concepts of etiquette, who inhabit countries we have never visited.

Throughout history, there have been societies established on the principle that the good of the society is more important than the good of the individual. Inevitably, these societies have failed, with the greatest of all being the eventual demise of the Soviet Union, whose system was based on the abolition of private property and the imposition of institutionalised solidarity. The wisdom of Kabbalah explains why these companies are doomed utopian. Everyone has tried to impose the altruistic behavior of its members, but Kabbalah tells us that our nature is to operate on the basis of their interests. Consequently, individuals of these societies are becoming increasingly dissatisfied, as an exercise against their nature. And, inevitably, some companies began to take more than others, whether physical goods or power. The dichotomy between ideals and realityeventually destroy the system.

According to Kabbalah, the only way to make lasting changes in society that everyone feels happy and satisfied is to change its nature. Kabbalah provides a methodology to test the reality that we are one universal human spirit. If people understand this simple truth, it becomes clear that respect for others is really the same as taking care of you. You do not need to force people to give andshare. This is his nature, and society to flourish. The crisis facing the world today will disappear as the abuse and exploitation in history. The world will be in harmony.
