It Is The Time To Act
Lately, as
the systematic global
crisis becomes more apparent, there is a sense that it's necessary to
create a proper system of global functioning. Baal HaSulam writes that we have
to transform our society according to new conditions, which are nature's
demands. The crisis is making it apparent that we have to become similar to
nature, or the general interconnection.
I see that
it is possible to gradually implement relationships of love and bestowal which are similar to nature. This can be done in the virtual realm; there, all
the people in the world can feel connected with one another and experience
their existence together. Out of all the existing means of communication, only
the Internet can serve as this place of connection; it can't be done through
television, newspapers, or books.
Only the World Wide Web, the Internet, can satisfy the demands of dissemination and unification in order to create a global system of upbringing for
children and adults alike. Only it can provide the global connection in order
to form a common force of unity. Then we will all feel each other through the
channels of connection, and reach a spiritual connection.
The Global System Of The Future Society
We
want to build a global system that will serve as a new kind of connection for
humanity. It will bring people into situations where they will
discern that due to the laws of nature, it pays more to bestow and be
close to others. Eventually people will come to experience everyone as one
organism.
This
will be a system of education that
will make a person feel how step by step he is being taught about the laws and
rules of the new society. These laws are derived from attainment of the general
system of nature, of which we are a part. Similarity to the main law-"love your
neighbor"-is universal and primary. Everything else is a derivative from it.
(See Baal HaSulam's article, "One Law.")
The
connections that will develop within this system will turn into a virtual state
where people will bring a spiritual component into the virtual connection. Within
this system people will begin to create connections among them that are
inherent even in our mundane lives. From the new awareness of the right
relationships, they will also begin creating the appropriate connections in
business, family, and others.
Gradually,
all forms of connection among people will develop within this system, until it
comes to replace all the systems of egoistic connection. The latter is what
appears to unite people today, although in reality it only separates people and
puts them at odds with one another.
The
nature, goal, and influence of the new system upon every person is completely
different. It has to contain an intellect, an ability to learn and teach the
people that use it, as well as to give advice to those who set it in motion. It
also has to listen to their suggestions regarding which changes must be
executed in the connection among people so they gradually advance to closer connections
among each other, until reaching a connection that is above egoism.
