You too sir.

[@freeyourself3929]

Blessed be your life ❤

[@shinesgdesign]

I like the way to explained it.

[@katanaking90210]

How Ironic that he doesnt acknowledge our age of interconnection we he litterally hosts a show connecting to millions through message and knowledge. As the rabbi said this concept of interconrctive sustenance is indeed entirely new to humanity. hundreds of years ago our communities and families were all we sustained from. Nowadays the world is slowly creating a global level awareness.

[@Doriesep6622]

So how to have the right connection?

[@robertcummins7739]

Maybe realizing without judgement that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

[@maximonoahide3268]

I dont think the host understands the meaning of the word connection within the context of Kabbalistic thought.

[@maximonoahide3268]

The monetary system, materialism, individualism, capitalism, all these will reach a pinnacle where it is no longer sustainable.

The wolves are very competitive animals, like us humans

[@kevinlong8446]

I feel I have. always had this cconnection. Of course it's true as we learn we all do. Society as I grew placed layers on me like an onion. Then I learn authentic kabbalah and things start to clear up why.

Laitman is so personally convinced by the mythical structure he adheres to that he's mostly deaf to a less 'purposeful', linear evolution of mankind within nature, and an openness to understanding those sorts of ideas and better articulating them for himself would have allowed more fluid conversation. As it stands, the idea of Tikkun Olam disintegrates once their are too many dissenters to the rule inside the boundary of what is to be improved in a manner similar to the slow dissolution of the USSR. Even as a supposedly forward moving plan gains traction it increases the chaos inside of it's own system in a ratio commensurate with it's size, eventually overturning as a result of it's sheer magnitude.

[@Aaron565]

the point being at a certain level of personal correction amongst individuals, the world is repaired by the arrival of the messiah who either redeems or kills everyone. its a man, not collective thought that enforces decisive change

[@maximonoahide3268]

Before the coming of the Messiah. Either the world will become fully broken or fully whole.

[@JewessChrstnMystic]

The messiah has been coming through the hearts of people for 2000 years. It's the light that laitman talks about, the number 8, which is also the infinite world he already connected to. He doesnt know or acknowledge that he is in the 2nd adam already but that's okay. All that matters is that he is, regardless if he knows it or not. Hes teaching what christianity should have been teaching for the last 2000 years. If Christians want to actually know how to be connected and experince the christ and the root of their soul they should listen and learn from this man. The bible is allegory and code, or was never supposed to be read how christianity reads it and interprets it.

[@robertcummins7739]

Five years later broken seems to be the answer

[@pirangeloferretti3588]

In my opinion this rabbi is wrong; we were much more connected 50 years ago and much, much less egoistic, that's my experience. Nowadays and as we progress we only have mechanical connections and widespread egoism. This 'tikkun olam' is going thr wrong way.

[@edoardocalamassi3997]

He didn't say that. He said that now we are more connected but than in the past but that it's a bad connection and that we feel it as wrong and undesirable

[@djrg7921]

being able to buy things from China cheaply... the red dot plastic shops etc... is also an exploitation and out-sourcing which takes advantage of others living & working in conditions which many would not even contemplate as they would consider it a sufferance. Buying cheaply at what greater cost?

[@robertcummins7739]

It was a race to the bottom

[@thelordismysheperd2eternal273]

IS THE FELLOW IN BLACK A PLANT FOR THE NWO? MESSIAH HAS ALREADY COME: THE PRINCE OF PEACE, JESUS THE CHRIST. TURN TO HIM, REPENTING OF ALL YOUR SINFUFUL WAYS TO FAITHFULLY FOLLOW JESUS THE CHRIST AND YOU WILL HAVE PEACE WITH GOD. ISAIAH 59:1-2; PROPHASIED THIS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, HELLO.

[@Doriesep6622]

How did Jews have it all at one time when they were stoning women? And the exile is mythical.

[@JewessChrstnMystic]

The exile is allegorical.. its inner allegory. But I do agree with you on the stoning women and what not. They misunderstood the texts and that where religion and all the rules and harsh punishments came from... a lack of knowlege.
