Sex is one of our basic needs according to Abraham Maslow who is a renowned psychologist. This theory is called "The Heirarchy of Needs". This theory basically has 5 stages. Everyones starts from stage 1, which is the Physio needs. After all the needs have been fulfilled, we move up to the second stage. At any point of the later stages for instance, we get sexual urges, we will come back to stage 1 to fulfill that need. Otherwise we will not perform effectively on the higher stages.
1. Biological and Physiological needs - air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep, etc.
2. Safety needs - protection from elements, security, order, law, limits, stability, etc.
3. Belongingness and Love needs - work group, family, affection, relationships, etc.
4. Esteem needs - self-esteem, achievement, mastery, independence, status, dominance, prestige, managerial responsibility, etc.
5. Self-Actualization needs - realising personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences.
Ok so our main concern here is Sex. It is evident that a bad sex life could lead to a bad relationship and marriage. There are many things that contribute to a bad sex life for instance; either partner is not getting enough, men orgasm too quickly etc. It is also a fact that women takes a longer time to reach an orgasm and most men do not have the stamina
to hold until that happens. Of course we could use other parts of our body to help women reach orgasms, but wouldnt it be a bliss if it happens through intercourse?
For anyone who is concerned of their sexual stamina, please visit my blog at http://sex-tips-toys-training.blogspot.com to learn effective methods of improving your sexual stamina.

The struggle of Being for Self_Realisation !
All life is a struggle, the struggle of the individual for Self-Actualisation !
We find that the Thesis and the Anti Thesis are equally logical. The intellect is dual.
We can learn a lot from a Court of Law. There will be two arguments, argued by scholars, and both appear logical.
In other words, what the intellect justifies is true. Its Anti Thesis is also true !
Should we believe the intellect, which offers two arguments, two types of Justice ( the Mosaic Law and the Jesusian ), two antithetical theories ?
We should know that the intellect is Janus- faced and rely on the Heart !
From Quantum Mysticism we have to come to Bridal Mysticism, which extolls the Absolute Self as Universal Love !
This is the struggle of Being for Self-Actualisation, through the well known three phase dialectic of Thesis, Antithesis & Synthesis !
Let us achieve Self Actualisation !

Thesis and Anti Thesis solved by Synthesis
In our last blog post we dicussed the Thesis of Huntington and the Anti Thesis of Amartya Sen.
Amartya Sen has criticised the Theory saying that civilizations cannot be grouped as Hindu, Buddhist or Islamic. But unfortunately the 9/11, Afghan war and Iraq war has only proved Huntington's Thesis true. History proves that the Crusades and other wars were along cultural lines.
There were Crusades against own people. The Albigensian Crusade was against the Cathars, who were Gnostics. Also the Waldensian Crusade.
In other words, history proves the Thesis of Huntington. When he says that friction exists between major civilizations, he is stating a fact known to all. Tensions exist between Islamic and Western, between Islamic and Indian, between Chinese & Japanese. Huntington is stating facts, corroborated by history !
If Clash is a major problem and it is, what is the solution to this malady ?
The three phase Dialectic is Thesis, Anti Thesis and Synthesis !
If we had discussed the Thesis and the Anti Thesis, it is upto to you to believe any of these doctrines. If what the intellect justifies is true and if its inverse is also true, then both are logical and intellectual doctrines.
And what is the Synthesis?
The highest synthesis is Universal Love. Love your enemies ! This wisdom was echoed by Shakespeare, Jesus and Sai. Sai is still alive, preaching tolerance and Universal Love.
When Universal Love triumphs, both Thesis and Anti Thesis win !
Universal Love is All Conquering !

The Clash of Civilizations - A Self fulfilling Prophecy ?
Prof Huntington's book the The Clash of Civilizations became famous and controversial.
There are seven, nay, Nine Civilizations
The Western
The Islamic
The Indian
The Japanese
The Chinese
The Russian
The African
The Buddhist
The Jewish
The Clash of Civilizations is happening, say many. The 9/11 2001 attacks, the war in Afghanistan and Iraq are proofs, they argue.
A self fulfilling prophecy is one when the political leaders, who are aware of this famous thesis, make it a reality ! Many political leaders knew this Thesis and were influenced by it, say the people who favour this theory.
Many radicalists also approve this theory.
There are criticisms, however, of this theory. Amartya Sen argues that Civilizations cannot be grouped into Seven or Nine civilizations !
The people who favour this theory argue that the present crisis is the conflict between two major civilizations, missionary ones, who averr that theirs is the only true faith. Both believe in conversions and it is a struggle for superiority. The human mind is engineered in such a way and all human beings are ruled by the Ego function ! It is not "my country, right or wrong", it is "my Civilization, right or wrong" !
So we have a thesis by Huntington and an AntiThesis by Amartya Sen. Let us see who is right !
According to Huntington's theory, the main cause of international conflict will be cultural, as different cultures struggle for superiority in a multi-cultural world.
The West, led by the US, is at the pinnacle of power. US will forge alliances with similar cultures and protogonists of this theory point out to the US-India-Russia Axis and the US-India-Japan Axis.
The Sino-Islamic connection is already there, as China colludes with Pakistan & Iran.
The Dialogue among Civilizations was the answer to this threat. A global organisation, the Alliance for Civilizations, was set up by the UN.
Let Universal Love redeem this world and let the world not perish in the Clash of Civilizations !

Four Steps on the Path of Wisdom
Four Steps on the Path of Wisdom
Arnold Keyserling and R.C.L.
No matter what the cultural context,
we find that the Path of Wisdom
has essentially four steps:
(1) know your body,
(2) create your dream body or energy fields,
(3) figure out your meaning in life, and
(4) participate in a global network of friends
where your meaning can be fulfilled in history.
These steps are not sequential, they all happen at once, with a change in emphasis over time. The "first" step of body awareness comes from exercises and practice - things like sports, yoga, martial arts, massage, etc. You have to be grounded in the body to escape from the prison of left brain hypnosis, to liberate yourself to holistic awareness.
Next, the creation of an energy body, a dream body, comes from active imagination, exercises and meditation. The Hindu tradition refers to this step as opening the Chakras. In China it is known as the activation of the Chi, and is the basis of all Oriental Medicine. The Western esoteric traditions refer to this energy field as the Aura - the halos you see painted around saints. Again, there are many methods to develop your energies, although they are not as well known as the body work. One such method uses sound vibrations known as PrimaSounds.
The third step is to make sense of the world, figure out what it all means and who you are. You can also think of this as a process of "remembering." Remembering what you came here to do, what you had intended to do in this life before you were born. Everyone has a purpose, a special life destiny, which only they can fulfill. The destiny is not inevitable, it is only a potential. The exact way it will be achieved is always unknown. So in that sense it is both a remembering and a creative process. Remember why you are here and figure out how to do it. The remembering and "figuring out" process is more than intuition, it is also a holistic thinking process. A process of active contemplation and analysis that can lead to action - once you figure out what it is you can do next. (It is easier to walk once the blindfold is removed!) Here the thinking tool which is Arnold Keyserling's purpose in life to develop and make known to others, called The WHEEL, can be of great help. It can help you remove the blindfold of ignorance as to who you are, help you to remember what you came here to do. Understanding who you are then leads naturally to the next step of "doing it."
The fourth step we sometimes call "Metapolitical" action in the world. (See: "Wisdom, Metapolitics and the Internet" essay.) Here a School of Wisdom or other friendship group is critical. With a little help from your friends, participation with others and in groups of people, you can act Globally to fulfill your potential. You can fulfill your mission in life. You can become a player in the ongoing game of human civilization, a link in the great history of life. You can carry out your meaning in life, your true purpose, the only way possible - in active concert with the rest of the Universe.
All four steps on the Path of Wisdom can be significantly helped by group work and teachers. To fill this need Schools of Wisdom, and groups like it, are now opening all over the world based on the tradition of direct Wisdom transmission. A word of caution here, don't be too intellectual or take yourselves too seriously, have fun with the Path of Widom and the Wheel, play with it as a kind of "glass bead game." True Wisdom is joyful. People who are too serious are not really mature.
Finally, remember only YOU can find out who you are - no one else can (or should) do that for you, or tell you what to do. Beware of Power Trippers, especially "spiritual" ones. The days of Gurus, cults and religions telling you what to do are gone. The New Age demands individual liberty and spiritual democracy. We are free people, united on a global scale by interlocking networks and communities. Just as you would not allow another to take over your body, do not sell your soul, or allow your spirit to be taken and controlled by another. Walk these four steps of Wisdom yourself!

THE SEVEN SLEEPERS OF EPHESUS
by: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
IX young men of Caesar's household
Fled before their master's anger;
As a god he claimed their worship,
Though a sorry god was he.
For an insect, ever buzzing,
Still annoyed him at the banquet,
Still disturbed his rest and pleasure.
All the chasing of his servants
Could not drive away the torment.
Ever round the head of Caesar
Did the angry creature hover,
Threatening with its poisoned sting
Still it flew, and swiftly circling,
Made confusion at the table,
Messenger of Beelzebub,
The infernal Lord of flies.
"Ha!" -- so spake the youths together,
"He a god that fears an insect!
Can a god be thus molested?
Does a god, like wretched mortals,
Feast and revel at the banquet?
Nay! to Him, the one, the only,
Who the sun and moon created,
Who hath made the stars in glory,
Shall we henceforth bend the knee!"
So they spake, and left the palace,
Left it in their trim apparel;
By a shepherd led, they hastened
To a cave was in the mountain,
And they all went gliding in.
And the shepherd's dog came after,
Though they strove to drive him from them;
Thrust himself toward his master,
Licked their hands in dumb entreaty,
That he might remain their fellow;
And lay down with them to sleep.
But the wrath of Caesar kindled,
When he knew that they had left him;
All his former love departed,
All his thought was vengeance only.
Out in quest he sent his people,
Traced them to the mountain hollow.
Not to fire nor sword he doomed them;
But he bade great stones be lifted
To the entrance of the cavern;
Saw it fastened up with mortar;
And so left them in their tomb.
But the youths lay calmly sleeping;
And the angel, their protector,
Spake before the throne of glory:
"I have watched beside the sleepers,
Made them turn in slumber ever,
That the damps of yonder cavern,
Should not cramp their youthful limbs;
And the rocks around I've opened,
That the sun at rising, setting,
May give freshness to their cheeks.
So they lie in rest and quiet,
In the bliss of happy dreams."
So they lay; and still beside them,
Lay the dog in peaceful slumber,
Never whimpering in his sleep.
Years came on and years departed;
Till at last the young men wakened;
And the wall, so strongly fastened,
Now had fallen into ruin,
Crumbled by the touch of ages.
Then Iamblichus, the youngest,
And the goodliest of them all,
Seeing that the shepherd trembled,
Said, "I pray you now, my brothers,
Let me go to seek provisions;
I have gold, my life I'll venture,
Tarry till I bring you bread."
Ephesus, that noble city,
Then, for many a year, had yielded
To the faith of the Redeemer,
Jesus. (Glory to his name!)
And he ran into the city;
At the gate were many wardens,
Armed men on tower and turret,
But he passed them all unchallenged;
To the nearest baker's went he,
And in haste demanded bread.
"Ha! young rogue," exclaimed the baker,
"Surely thou hast found a treasure;
That old piece of gold betrays thee!
Give me, or I shall denounce thee,
Half the treasure thou hast found."
And Iamblichus denied it.
But the baker would not listen;
Brawling till the watch came forward,
To the king they both were taken;
And the monarch, like the baker,
But a higher right asserting,
Claimed to share the treasure too.
But at last the wondrous story,
Which the young man told the monarch,
Proved itself by many tokens
Lord was he of that same palace,
Whither he was brought for judgment;
For he showed them to a pillar,
In the which a stone was loosened
Led unto a treasure chamber,
Heaped with gold and costly jewels.
Straightway came in haste his kindred,
All his clan came thronging round him,
Eager to advance their claim;
Each was nearer than the other.
And Iamblichus, the blooming,
Young in face, and form, and feature,
Stood an ancestor among them.
All bewildered he heard legends
Of his sons and of his grandsons,
Fathers of the men before him.
So amazed he stood and listened,
Patriarch in his early manhood;
While the crowd around him gathered,
Stalwart men, and mighty captains,
Him, the youngest, to acknowledge
As the founder of their race!
And one token with another
Made assurance doubly certain;
None can doubt the wondrous story
Of himself and of his comrades.
Shortly, to the cave returning,
King and people all go with him,
And they saw him enter in.
But no more to king or people,
Did the Chosen reappear.
For the Seven, who long had tarried --
Nay, but they were eight in number,
For the faithful dog was with them --
Thenceforth from the world were sundered.
The most blessed Angel Gabriel,
By the will of God Almighty,
Walling up the cave for ever,
Led them unto Paradise.
John Storer Cobb's English translation of 'The Seven Sleepers of Ephesus' was first published in Goethe: Poetical Works, vol. II. Boston: Francis A Niccolls & Company, 1902.

Quantum Healing !
Dr Deepka Chopra defined Quantum Healing as
Quantum healing is healing the bodymind from a quantum level. That means from a level which is not manifest at a sensory level. Our bodies ultimately are fields of information, intelligence and energy. Quantum healing involves a shift in the fields of energy information, so as to bring about a correction in an idea that has gone wrong. So quantum healing involves healing one mode of consciousness, mind, to bring about changes in another mode of consciousness, body.
This is Quantum Medicine !

Quantum Mysticism
Gary Zukav in his book " The Dancing Wu Li Masters" dealt with Quantum Mysticism, that the world of the New Phyics, validated mystic truths. ( www.zukav.com )
So did Fritjof Capra in his book " The Tao of Physics ".
Earlier the Indian sages,Vivekananda and Aurobindo had predicted that as modern science progresses, the Indian philosophic truths will only be confirmed.
Dr Chopra in his book " Quantum Healing " also dealt with Quantum Mysticism.
The entire approach of SCI & TM is that all eternal truths are verified by Quantum Physics, verified by scientific research and verified by personal experience.

Forever Newly Created Reality !
Gary Zukav says in his magnum opus, the Dancing Wu Li Masters, that in the realm of particle physics, forever newly created realities are formed !
For instance, when a pi meson interacts with a proton, a neutral meson is produced. ( Meson - medium weight particle ) and a Lamda particle
Pi + p = K + L
Also formed is a pi meson and a proton !
Pi + p = K + L + Pi + p
So in the subatomic realm, newly created realities are formed.
Particle Physics explains this formation of Pi meson and proton from the interaction, as products of Kinetic Energy !
The subatomic world is characterised by an continual process of creation, transformation and annhihilation of particles, where mass is converted into energy and energy is converted into mass. Newly created realities are formed.
The quantum physicists have reached the mystics who proclaimed that all this is the Cosmic Dance, the dance of subatomic matter, symbolised in Eastern Literature as the Dance of Lord Shiva, the lord of the dancers worshipped by the Indians !

Erase the Ego
Buddha and Sankara thought the world to be false and miserable and escape from it was the only wisdom. But then the world is Self, the world is God, the world is Bliss, prajna prasrutha purani , Omnipotent Wisdom became this world. It is our wrong relationship with the Divine in the world which is the misery and our perception of the world through the mentalised ego which is the suffering !
When the Mirror views its own image
This Universe becomes visible !
True vision is not in thee
Infested as thou art with the negative elements !
Hence, Erase the Ego !
Once the Ego is erased, the world will be seen in its Reality !

Go beyond Symbolism & experience the Self !
The Three ideas of Reason in Kant are
The Relative Universe
The Relative Ego
The Relative Supreme
They are known as the Three Perpetual Symbols in Aurobindo. They exist as Symbols in the Universal Mind.
At the subatomic level, the invisible realm, many things are happening. The Electron is both a particle and a wave. Matter, at its subtlest level, is the Vaccum State.
The best use one can get from symbols is a description of Reality, maximal and incomplete. Symbols and experience are part of Eastern Mysticism. One should go beyond symbols into the realm of experience.
Consciousness is like a mirror and it is filled with the perceptions of the outer world and never experiences its true nature. Go beyond Symbolisms and experience the Self !

Bell's Theorem of Interconnectedness
Bell's Theorem in Physics maintains that separate parts are interconnected at a fundamental level. This is what Eastern Mysticism has been talking about for centuries.
We are all puny parts of the Great Whole. We appear as separate parts of the Whole, but are interconnected at a fundamental, subtle level.
It is like the Ocean. We are the waves , we belong to the Ocean. Our basic substance is One and we are all interconnected !
Glory to Quantum Physics for discovering eternal Truths !

The Secret - To Spiritual Success
The Secret - To Spiritual SuccessBy: Arthor Pens
Before you are born, you sit down with your spiritual guides (for approximately 2 years Earth time) and together you decide what lessons you need to master during this lifetime, what negative karma you need to balance, and what personality traits you will possess during this lifetime to help you to achieve your life lessons. This forms the basis of what is known as your Soul Life Blueprint.
It is over the course of hundreds of lives that you choose to master higher qualities of love, forgiveness, unconditional love, tolerance, acceptance, compassion, empathy, wisdom, and many, many more. Throughout our lives we incur karma (or negative debt) through wrong action. This must be repaid over the course of our lifetimes, and every lesson mastered, before we can free ourselves from the Earth plane, never to return. 80% of the negative energy you feel inside is residual negative energy from a past life or past lives. It is through the process of rebirth or reincarnation that you seek to release this negative energy that you carry inside of you. This negative energy resides in your body's cell memory and subconscious mind.
You choose the circumstances that will provide you with the opportunities to learn your life lessons and to repay your karmic debt.
1. You choose your parents. Choosing the right parents is important for the soul to achieve many of its life lessons, and each soul will choose parents that will challenge or teach it in someway. Sometimes it is necessary to choose a harsh or critical parent, who will challenge your internal power. You may not have stepped into your own power and need a dominant force to cause rebellion within your being, to awaken you. It may be that you chose a critical parent as a challenge to test your own self-love and acceptance of yourself. It may even be that you chose a critical parent because you yourself were highly critical of others in a past lifetime and this time you need to experience the injustice of being unfairly criticised and bullied for yourself, as well as repay the karmic debt you have incurred.
2. You choose your personality, your name and your date and time of birth. Choosing your personality, your name and your date and time of birth is a precise action of your soul. Your soul is governed by astrology, or the governing forces of the planets. These planetary forces govern your personality, the way you act, and your internal desires and drives, so it is critical that your soul be born at the precise moment in time, so that you end up with the personality that your soul has chosen to learn its life lessons. Because your name, and your date and time of birth reflect your entire astrological make-up precisely, those trained in the fields of decoding astrology and numerology charts are able to provide you with an accurate and clear account of your soul purpose, your personality, your inner desires, and your karmic debt, etc. You may be wondering how it is that you choose your own name. The answer to this is simple. You psychically implant your full name into the minds of your parents who believe they have chosen your name for you.
3. You choose what negative events and trauma you will encounter. In order to learn your life lessons and become stronger, you need to test yourself and overcome obstacles and often very difficult challenges that you have chosen for yourself before your were born. Hmm, you are saying, but what about free will? If we have predestined our life, what free will do we have? It is true that you have free will when you live on the Earth plane. Before you are born, you choose the many, many different variables or directions that your life could go in. And there are thousands! Your life is like a choose-your-own-adventure novel that you have chosen for yourself before birth. Together with your spiritual guides, you choose all of the possible outcomes that will enable you to fulfill your soul purpose.
4. You choose the negative people who will come into your life. Every person who you encounter on your life-path is your teacher, and reveals to you what you still have yet to master. Especially those who are negative! The very thing you hate most in your enemies, those you hate or cannot stand, is usually the thing you refuse to see or recognize within yourself! These souls act as mirrors for you, and are very important beings for your growth and learning. Your enemies are usually your best or closest friends in the spiritual dimensions, and agree to challenge you on the Earth plane to help you achieve your life lessons.
5. You choose the time you will be awakened spiritually. You give yourself a period of time to awaken spiritually on your own, without any help from spirit. Some choose to awaken later in life, others quite early. Before you are born you request from your Spiritual Master, that if you have not awoken to your spiritual path by the time you have set yourself, that everything that you hold close and dear is to be taken from you, so that you may deeply reflect on your life and what is important to you. This may include losing your spouse, your car, your house, your job, your reputation, your money, your security, your health, whatever is necessary for you to see what is really important to you in your life.
6. Discovering your Soul Life Blueprint. Each soul has encoded in its full name and date of birth its Soul Life Blueprint, which reveals specific lessons it is seeking to master in this lifetime, what karma it is seeking to repay, the purpose of its soul this time around, and the personality type it has chosen to accomplish each of these. Understanding this important information is The Secret to Spiritual Success. Your Soul Life Blueprint will help you to awaken to your spiritual path, and is an important road-map for those already awakened to mastering their life lessons. You will begin to see why you have attracted certain types of people into your life. You will begin to see why you act in a certain way, and what negative behaviors you are here to overcome. You will begin to see how negative actions in previous lives (karma) is still affecting you in this lifetime, and what you can do to correct this and turn your life around. You will begin to see why you have p articular interests and desires, and what fears hold you back in your life.
Your Soul Life Blueprint will show you how you can implement new strategies specific to you to help you master your life lessons; it will show you what internal psychological stress patterns you can expect from your personality during this lifetime; and it will show you how to work through these internal stress patterns, how to bring harmony back into your life, and how to find peace within.

The Four dimensional Reality !
We breathe, exist and live in the Four Dimensional Space Time Continuum.
In this Four Dimensional Reality, events to not occur, they are just there, we come across them.
When Modern Physics came across this discovery, they were validating what the ancient Seer Poets spoke about Reality - that Reality is Invariant and all are happening within this Four Dimensional Reality.
To human beings, past, present and future are different but to the Reality Divine, they are seen at one glance.
Past, present and Future I know equally
To me they are one only, as I am Time !
But I exist on the Transcendental Plane
I am Unknown, beyond the ken of mortal sight ( The Lord in the Geetha ) !

Igne Natura Renovatur Integra
The inscription INRI does not mean Jesus of Nazareth, King of Jews as is widely believed.
It is Igne Natura Renovatur Integra - By fire, everthing is renewed. By Fire is meant the Fire of Truth & Love, the fundamental Agni.
Three types of Fires has been known to occult science.
Jada Agni - Ordinary Fire
Vidyut Agni - Electric Fire
Saura Agni - Solar Fire.
The Solar system is like the Atom. In the Atom, the electrons traverse in elliptical orbits. In the solar system, the planets move in elliptical orbits. Pauli's Exclusion Principle states that no electrons with the same quantum number can be found or that two electrons can never be the same. In the solar system also, there is one Jupiter and one Saturn. There are no 2 Jupiters and 2 Saturns.
The very fact that there is correspondence between the Atom and the Solar System may lead Physical Science to Solar Fire.
The principle behind the Hydrogen Bomb is fusion. Four atoms of Hydrogen combine to form Helium with a tremendous release of energy.
It is a thermonuclear fusion reaction as heat is released. This is the also the principle behind the Sun. Hydrogen molecules combine to form Helium giving out heat. This principle was known to the Seer Poets. If they had not known the secret behind nuclear and solar fusions, they would not have dared to speak of transformation !

Quantum Physics can shock you !
"Those who are not shocked by the quantum theory have not understood it fully", said Neils Bohr. What happens in the invisible subatomic realm is not known to Newtonian Physics !
"The stuff of the world is Mind stuff", said Aurthur Eddington. The course of an electron is uncertain, said Heisenberg. Matter is both solid-like and idea-like, averred De Broglie and Schroedinger.
"What we observe is not Nature herself, but Nature revealed to our method of questioning " declared Heisenberg.
Quantum Physics is talking mystic language and has reached Transcendental Physics, which maintained that the Universe is a Universe of appearance, hiding behind it the Omnipresent Reality !

The Consumer Effect
Kabbalah is the Western Yoga. The Kabbalists discovered what the Yogis discovered, that we are puny parts of the great Whole, called by us as the Universe.
Albert Einstein once said: “A human being is part of the whole, called by us ‘universe’…He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness…Our task must be to free ourselves from our prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all humanity and the whole of Nature in its beauty.”
Let us analyse the Globalisation of Economics and its effects !
The Consumer Effect
The globalization of economics means that any local market is inextricably tied to the global economy. The ongoing dollar decline, lately spurred by changes in China's market, clearly demonstrates how interdependent the world’s markets have become.
We have to discover the right way to act within an interconnected system—and what’s a better example to study than Nature, the mother of perfect, integral systems?
They (Almost) Hit the Jackpot
Myron Scholes and Robert Merton had everything scientists could ever wish for: a Nobel Prize in Economics, tenured professorships at the world’s most prestigious universities and fame. But all of this waned when an opportunity presented itself in the mid-nineties. A well-known veteran broker dared the pair to put their genius into practice and make lots of money.
Scholes and Merton were certain that playing the market was like rolling dice: you can easily measure the probability for each and every occurrence. Their foolproof plan was to accurately predict the market through statistical studies.
The two scientists gathered a group of distinguished math and economy professors. Then, along with their ambitious broker, they established a private hedge fund (an investment fund that aims to profit under any market conditions). They called it Long-Term Capital Management or LTCM. The fund developed an investment policy based on mathematical models, established its headquarters in an upscale suburb near Wall Street, and business started rolling.
In four short years, the fund became the envy of every banker and trader on Wall Street. Veteran stock market sharks could not believe their eyes as the fund yielded an astounding 40% return a year with no losses or fluctuations. It seemed that the scientists had discovered a magic formula, identifying patterns in a world of unpredictability. In other words, they had found a way to make a whole lot of money.
Even the ever-skeptical investment bankers were impressed by the group. In fact, they were so impressed that they offered to leverage the fund with a credit of $100 billion without even asking for the usual guarantees. The fund got financially linked to every bank on Wall Street and set up an intricate chain of connections where every link affected the entire chain.
LTCM seemed invincible until one fateful night in September of '98, when the bubble suddenly burst. The disaster began with a seemingly innocuous event—the devaluation of the Thai baht. This triggered a sell-off across Asian and Eastern Europe markets, and the snowball just kept rolling until it eventually reached LTCM. The fund suffered total collapse, causing unprecedented distress to economic systems worldwide.
It seemed that the market was swiftly heading for the point of no return. In a dramatic step, Alan Greenspan, the legendary U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman, convened the heads of every large bank of Wall Street and Europe for an emergency closed-door meeting. Finally, only the economists’ prayers and a very costly decision to rescue LTCM, managed to save the world from a deep economic crisis.
Collapse is Contagious
The current dollar decline is reminiscent of the situation that led to the collapse of LTCM. Although the dollar's been on a downward spiral for quite some time, the most dramatic fall in its value was spurred by a change in China's policy. China, pragmatically concerned with its own economy, started shifting away from the dollar currency and diversifying its investments. As the echoes of this decision reverberated throughout the world, countries like Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Venezuela, Sudan, Iran and Russia began considering a shift away from the dollar in order to safeguard their assets.
A similar trend unfolded during the recent Sub-Prime Mortgage crisis (a mortgage given to risky borrowers) that begun in the U.S. and spread throughout the world. The effects of this fiasco are far from over. The meltdown has affected stock markets, banks, hedge funds and companies the world over. The biggest shock waves were felt in Europe, Asia, Canada and Australia. The crisis also affected many corporations, manufacturers, marketing companies and even hi tech firms.
Over and over, the sense of a global economic crisis resurfaces. All the attempts to predict economic trends have proved futile. Today, the million dollar question is: How do we establish a truly viable and stable economic system?
The Systems Between Us
The answer, says the wisdom of Kabbalah, is actually quite simple. Best of all, you do not have to be a brilliant economist to figure it out. However, you do have to realize that we and everything we do, including economics, has to follow the laws of the universal system we call Nature.
Kabbalists explain that Nature's overarching plan is to bring all of its parts, including us, into perfect unity. In the framework of human society, this unity means that the work of every single individual benefits the whole.
The best example of such behavior are the cells of a living body: they are interconnected and give to each other in order to benefit the body as a whole. In this perfect system, the body provides a cell with everything it needs and the cell is fully dedicated to ensuring the body’s well-being. In his article, "Building the Future Society," Kabbalist Baal HaSulam writes that “…each member is obligated by Nature to receive his or her needs from society, and also to benefit society by his or her work.”
The artificial systems we have established in human society stand in complete contrast to Nature’s plan. At the core of human behavior stands the ego, which puts these systems into motion. Our egos prefer constricted, personal interest over the benefit of the whole and advocate the pursuit of wealth, honor and control, even (or especially) at the expense of others.
All this bears a direct relation to economics. In our ego-based economic system, self-interests of capital and shareholders are the companies’ top priority. Even when companies contributes to the community, one cannot help wondering whether such an act is not in fact, a basic desire to glorify its name in the media for more publicity and a burnished reputation.
Globalization + Ego = Dead End
After thousands of years of egoistic development, we finally find ourselves in a tight corner: the more we try to profit from each other, the more we discover our connection to each other, much like the cells of a living body described above.
LTCM’s collapse a decade ago, the recent credit crisis, and the current dollar decline demonstrate just how interconnected our systems are. The smallest fluctuation in a local market can put the entire global market in turbulence.
But what’s more is that every action we make as consumers affects a whole gamut of other systems. Just like the "Butterfly Effect" metaphor for the mathematical chaos, "The Consumer Effect" works the same way.
When Rebecca from Philadelphia goes shopping at her neighborhood mall, she significantly affects the lives of many people around the world. The products she purchases may determine whether a factory will continue to operate, whether a family will have to relocate, and whether a child will be saved from starvation. When Dan from Charlottesville flips through the TV channels at home, he affects the entire advertising market. One click of the remote control can affect the jobs and lives of thousands of people.
Globalization has made our world so fragile that the smallest crack can cause it to shatter. Local events like the mortgage crisis in the U.S., a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, and military tension in the Persian Gulf directly affect prices of international merchandise and threaten global economic stability.
The Way Out
“And the wonder about it is that Nature, like a proficient judge, punishes us according to our development, for our eyes can see, that the more humanity develops, the greater are the pain and suffering of attaining our keep and sustenance.”
Baal HaSulam, "The Peace"
The wisdom of Kabbalah gives us a much broader perspective on our situation. It explains that we are like children in this sandbox called Earth. And Nature is developing us gradually, much like a parent who teaches his children: the more we grow up, the more we are expected to play nicely.
Kabbalah explains that humanity is going through two parallel processes. On the one hand, Nature is pushing us to unite and work as one body. On the other hand, humanity’s egoism is steadily growing, and the fact that these two processes are happening simultaneously is not a coincidence.
One way or another, humanity will have to invert its egoism and work as one body. But instead of having Nature push to make this change, Kabbalists suggest that we take control over the process and master it ourselves.
Kabbalists explain that through educational systems we can raise people's awareness that humanity is like a multi-celled body, and that we are all interconnected. By learning about the overall system of Nature and its principles, people will understand what changes to implement in our social systems in order to balance them with Nature.
By acting in accordance with Nature, we will prosper in every realm of our lives, including economics. Fortunately, we already have the science that explains Nature’s underlying plan. It’s called “the wisdom of Kabbalah.”

As the echoes of this decision reverberated throughout the world, countries like Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Venezuela, Sudan, Iran and Russia began considering a shift away from the dollar in order to safeguard their assets.
A similar trend unfolded during the recent Sub-Prime Mortgage crisis (a mortgage given to risky borrowers) that begun in the U.S. and spread throughout the world. The effects of this fiasco are far from over. The meltdown has affected stock markets, banks, hedge funds and companies the world over. The biggest shock waves were felt in Europe, Asia, Canada and Australia. The crisis also affected many corporations, manufacturers, marketing companies and even hi tech firms.
Over and over, the sense of a global economic crisis resurfaces. All the attempts to predict economic trends have proved futile. Today, the million dollar question is: How do we establish a truly viable and stable economic system?
The Systems Between Us
The answer, says the wisdom of Kabbalah, is actually quite simple. Best of all, you do not have to be a brilliant economist to figure it out. However, you do have to realize that we and everything we do, including economics, has to follow the laws of the universal system we call Nature.
Kabbalists explain that Nature's overarching plan is to bring all of its parts, including us, into perfect unity. In the framework of human society, this unity means that the work of every single individual benefits the whole.
The best example of such behavior are the cells of a living body: they are interconnected and give to each other in order to benefit the body as a whole. In this perfect system, the body provides a cell with everything it needs and the cell is fully dedicated to ensuring the body’s well-being. In his article, "Building the Future Society," Kabbalist Baal HaSulam writes that “…each member is obligated by Nature to receive his or her needs from society, and also to benefit society by his or her work.”
The artificial systems we have established in human society stand in complete contrast to Nature’s plan. At the core of human behavior stands the ego, which puts these systems into motion. Our egos prefer constricted, personal interest over the benefit of the whole and advocate the pursuit of wealth, honor and control, even (or especially) at the expense of others.
All this bears a direct relation to economics. In our ego-based economic system, self-interests of capital and shareholders are the companies’ top priority. Even when companies contributes to the community, one cannot help wondering whether such an act is not in fact, a basic desire to glorify its name in the media for more publicity and a burnished reputation.
Globalization + Ego = Dead End
After thousands of years of egoistic development, we finally find ourselves in a tight corner: the more we try to profit from each other, the more we discover our connection to each other, much like the cells of a living body described above.
LTCM’s collapse a decade ago, the recent credit crisis, and the current dollar decline demonstrate just how interconnected our systems are. The smallest fluctuation in a local market can put the entire global market in turbulence.
But what’s more is that every action we make as consumers affects a whole gamut of other systems. Just like the "Butterfly Effect" metaphor for the mathematical chaos, "The Consumer Effect" works the same way.
When Rebecca from Philadelphia goes shopping at her neighborhood mall, she significantly affects the lives of many people around the world. The products she purchases may determine whether a factory will continue to operate, whether a family will have to relocate, and whether a child will be saved from starvation. When Dan from Charlottesville flips through the TV channels at home, he affects the entire advertising market. One click of the remote control can affect the jobs and lives of thousands of people.
Globalization has made our world so fragile that the smallest crack can cause it to shatter. Local events like the mortgage crisis in the U.S., a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, and military tension in the Persian Gulf directly affect prices of international merchandise and threaten global economic stability.
The Way Out
“And the wonder about it is that Nature, like a proficient judge, punishes us according to our development, for our eyes can see, that the more humanity develops, the greater are the pain and suffering of attaining our keep and sustenance.”
Baal HaSulam, "The Peace"
The wisdom of Kabbalah gives us a much broader perspective on our situation. It explains that we are like children in this sandbox called Earth. And Nature is developing us gradually, much like a parent who teaches his children: the more we grow up, the more we are expected to play nicely.
Kabbalah explains that humanity is going through two parallel processes. On the one hand, Nature is pushing us to unite and work as one body. On the other hand, humanity’s egoism is steadily growing, and the fact that these two processes are happening simultaneously is not a coincidence.
One way or another, humanity will have to invert its egoism and work as one body. But instead of having Nature push to make this change, Kabbalists suggest that we take control over the process and master it ourselves.
Kabbalists explain that through educational systems we can raise people's awareness that humanity is like a multi-celled body, and that we are all interconnected. By learning about the overall system of Nature and its principles, people will understand what changes to implement in our social systems in order to balance them with Nature.
By acting in accordance with Nature, we will prosper in every realm of our lives, including economics. Fortunately, we already have the science that explains Nature’s underlying plan. It’s called “the wisdom of Kabbalah.”

Kabbalah Is Not Philosophy
In ancient times, Kabbalah inspired great minds to soar and search for meaning, but the branch called “philosophy,” was soon to veer off in another direction.
Perhaps we think of Kabbalists as secluded people hiding in dim, candle-lit chambers, writing magical scriptures. Well, until the end of the 20th century, Kabbalah was indeed kept secret. The clandestine approach toward Kabbalah evoked numerous tales and legends surrounding its nature. Although most of these tales are false, they still baffle and confuse even the most rigorous thinkers.
But Kabbalah was not always secret. In fact, the first Kabbalists were very open about their knowledge, and at the same time, very much involved with their societies. Often, Kabbalists were their nation’s leaders. Of all these leaders, King David is probably the best known example of a great Kabbalist who was also a great leader.
The involvement of Kabbalists in their societies helped their contemporary scholars develop the basis of what we now know as “Western philosophy,” which later became the basis of modern science. In that regard, here’s what Johannes Reuchlin, a humanist, classics scholar, and expert in ancient languages and traditions, writes in his book, De Arte Cabbalistica: “My teacher, Pythagoras, the father of philosophy, took his teaching from Kabbalists … He was the first to translate the word, Kabbalah, unknown to his contemporaries, to the Greek word philosophy… Kabbalah does not let us live our lives in the dust, but elevates our mind to the height of knowledge.”
But philosophers were not Kabbalists. Because they did not study Kabbalah, they couldn’t fully understand the depth of Kabbalistic knowledge. As a result, knowledge that should have been developed and treated in a very specific way was developed and treated incorrectly. When Kabbalistic knowledge migrated to other parts of the world, where there were no Kabbalists at the time, it also took a different course.
Thus, humanity made a detour. Although Western philosophy incorporated parts of the Kabbalistic knowledge, it ended up taking an entirely different direction. Western philosophy generated sciences that researched our material world, that which we perceive with our five senses. But Kabbalah is a science that studies what happens beyond what our senses perceive. The changed emphasis drove humanity in the opposite direction from the original knowledge that Kabbalists obtained. This change in direction took humanity on a detour that resulted in the general misconception of what Kabbalah is really about.
Quotes of Kabbalists
“One should scrutinize and study his essence and the purpose for which he came into this world.”
--Rabbi Baruch Ashlag, Shamati (I Heard), Letter no. 18
“Only through the expansion of the wisdom of Kabbalah in the masses will we obtain complete redemption.”
--Rav Yehudah Ashlag, Baal HaSulam, Introduction to the Book Tree of Life
“As one cannot sustain oneself without a measure of knowledge concerning the corporeal conducts of the world, one’s soul cannot exist in the next world without acquiring a measure of knowledge of the natural orders of the spiritual systems and worlds.”
--Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag (Baal HaSulam), “From My Flesh shall I See God”

Quantum Mechanics can only predict probabliities, not events
The New Physics radically changed the thinking of the scientist. Space and Time are not separate, they are one.
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle states that the course of an electron is uncertain and cannot be predicted. Given a beam of electrons, the probabilistic distribution can be predicted, but not the course of a single electron !
Newtonian laws do not apply to the invisible subatomic realm. The Uncertainty Principle undermines the Mechanistic Model of the Universe, created by a Designer.
The Law of Complementarity, the Matter-Wave Hypothesis, the Schrodinger Wave Equation, the Uncertainty Principle - all these laws indicate that the New Physics has reached the First Science or Transcendental Physics, which maintains the the Universe is a Universe of appearance, behind which hides the Indestructible Reality !
