Doomsday Clock moves closer to The End

Climate change and nuclear proliferation have moved the world closer to apocalypse, Professor Stephen Hawking and his colleagues have warned.

At the same time, the hand of a Doomsday Clock has moved two minutes closer to midnight.

The clock, devised at the dawn of the nuclear age, has made official what many now feel in their bones — that mankind is heading for catastrophe. (The Age)

Kabbalist Rav Laitman, a scientist by profession, explains that the crisis is mainly in man’s perception of reality, meaning that it is not necessarily a crisis of nuclear proliferation, nature and ecology, etc., but rather a crisis of man. Our problem is acknowledging that man is the reason for the crisis because we are opposite to nature. He also goes on to explain the unique nature of the crisis being that it’s global, with the world becoming smaller with each passing day, and our subconscious thoughts influencing our collective destiny. The result is a multi-faceted crisis that is preventing us from planning for the near future or even enjoying the satisfaction of planning a good future for the next generation.

“…the crisis is in man’s relation to his existence on Earth … man himself who has reached emptiness, despair, the feeling that there is nothing to live for … we cannot fill ourselves; there is nothing to fill ourselves with.” Yet along with this bleak picture, a person’s point in the heart is revealed, that adds another dimension filled with illumination and fulfillment. Why does it happen this way? Because “The Light emerges from within the darkness.”

According to Laitman “… the correct diagnosis is half the treatment", meaning that knowledge is a cure in itself. Since we influence nature by our thoughts, the main issue is our attitude to what is occurring around us, and understanding of these events in the context of the bigger picture – our purpose in life. Each of us must ascend to the level of the Creator, and our development in that direction is the cure. The awareness of the Creator, “Know the Lord”, is what we need to acquire for that to happen.

Rav Laitman reminds us to follow the advice of the great Kabbalists, who recommended circulating the wisdom of Kabbalah all over the world, in the hope that the world would recognize its important role in enabling humanity to develop without suffering.
