  1. We are controlled by laws of nature.

    There is a general force of nature, and two opposite forces—bestowal and reception—extend from it.

    We exist between these forces, and both of these qualities affect us.

    Then, the question arises: How do we develop under the influence of these forces? Where do we act? Where are we free? How do we accumulate and correlate these two forces within ourselves? How can we build ourselves out of them?

    These are the questions that the wisdom of Kabbalah engages in: how we receive these two forces in an optimal balance, and with their help, shape ourselves so as to resemble the very laws of nature, to arise and reach equivalence of form with the force of bestowal in nature. These very laws gave us the opportunity to control the pace of our progress in accepting them upon ourselves.

    That is the point of our freewill.

    How could we act if we do not have freewill? Who would we be? Would we just be like robots, always under control?

    Until now, we have always been under control. What does it mean?

    Nature as if injects a drop of egoism–the desire to enjoy at others’ expense–into us, and then it does so a little more, and a little more again, and we then get the impetus to move toward all kinds of egoistic goals. The more our egoism inflates, the more we become willing to move to increasingly gain at the expense of others. Nature constantly squeezes the syringe into us until it eventually infuses us with the full amount of egoism.

    Our era is characterized by the syringe of egoism having become completely injected into us, with no more egoism left to inject. That is why we have nowhere left to run.

    Where do we head from here? What do we do?

    Moreover, egoism has become global and integral. In the beginning, we felt good because we reached egoistic global connections in the world and thought that everything would be fine. However, when such connections started depending on everyone, we turned out to be nature’s opposite.

    At this juncture, we find ourselves with a major dilemma, and we need to work out what we do about it. Where our fully-inflated egoism coupled with our tightening global connections brings us to increasing problems around the world, today we require a new form of connection-enriching education that would have the ability to guide us on how to change our egoistic connections to altruistic ones. That is the key to a shift to a harmonious and peaceful world.

  2. Y'all should have been in the special Olympics

  3. It’s time to bring all these corrupt missions to an end. I am sick and tired of these wars in my tax dollars go into them while we have people here with no food, clothing, or healthcare.

    It’s time to slash the military budget, maybe till there’s not even a Military anymore.

  4. America bombed Muslims in Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Pakistan, Palestine, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Tunisia and Yemen. That's not anti-Muslim that's KKK hatred. The biggest threat to America is Americans who shoot 44 other Americans each day.

  5. US has boots on the ground all over Africa

  6. Yes and they do it using all of the ammunition guns armored vehicles and things that I BIDEN left them in Afghanistan

  7. us special forces are the terrorist . Do your homework 💯

  8. Thats false information to say they are living below the poverty line thats racist to say the people are hungry smh

  9. That's what we need-another war.

  10. Doesn't Ukraine already generate enough business for the military-industrial complex?

  11. Let’s do it! Africa is ripe for American influence in the region. We can hopefully turn it into a second Latin America in terms of how it serves the US economically.

  12. Since 2008 US trained officers have attempted at least 9 Coups, and succeeded in at least 8 in 5 West African countries alone…3 times in Burkina Faso, 3 times in Mali, and once each in Guinea, Mauritania, and the Gambia.

  13. Usa messed up middle east and left it unstable.
    Now usa come to Africa to begin new Era of destruction by supplying underground militias to divide and start more genocide and leads to more unstable

  14. All world leaders communist and democratic are sycopaths

  15. what a waste if time and resources

  16. U.S.promoting black on black gun violence

  17. MORE. REPUBLICANS. ACCUSED OF. BITING. DURING. FAMILY. SODOMY. SESIONS. DEPLORABLE. C. U. L. T. 🐘🦨🐘🦨🐘🦨

  18. The US of A never learns. Does Afghanistan ring a bell? The generals in this country are really a part of a “special force”, “special” people.

  19. Narrated from Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The Hour will not begin until there is no one left on earth who says, ‘Allaah, Allaah.’” Muhammad Qasim is Mahdi

  20. Last time we did this the CIA sold cocaine to fund the contras

  21. We train ppl so later on they can attack us. Brilliant strategy!

  22. 2:11 So this is just an ad to ask for more funding.

  23. So Putin said that Wagner is not a part of Russian forces?
    The U.S. should annihilate all Wagner forces in Africa, then.

  24. I was at a retirement seminar and the speaker spoke on how he quit his job after he made well over $950,000 PROFIT within 3months he invested $120,000. I need guidance on what investments to make.🚀🚀🚀.

  25. I don’t think anyone noticed we are training on every continent. I think God set it up this way because it’s going to be world war and we are going to need all the help we can get. America 🇺🇸 will Avenge ourselves with the forgiveness of Jesus and Gods mercy.

  26. This is nonsense. Mystery Babylon is literally funding the so called "terrorists" so they can justify invasion (like with Syria and Iraq).

  27. They've been there since 07

  28. Iran, Russia, China ,North Korea and now Africa…..I THINK AMERICA IS DESPERATE FOR A WAR…They must need money badly…We are the most hated country in the world and one day soon we're gonna pay highly for it..

  29. Biden learned from Obama no how to become a Warmonger… so sad

  30. Half this country wants to destroy the other half and that doesn't even include relationships or Africa.
