Love & Hate - Two Sides of the Same Coin
Soon we'll understand that we can't go out to war anymore - we'll see it as a dead end. The war in the center of Europe will be the last war, and it will teach us how to develop without war.
There are people around the world that are starting to understand that force isn't the answer. That we need to learn to compromise so we can all get along.
Yet precisely here in Israel the opposite is happening:

How Business Keeps Us in Line
Here on LinkedIn and in the business sector, we're mainly connected around economic issues. This is where we can really see how interdependent we are, and that's why we're willing to compromise to a certain extent. When it comes to business we can really feel the mutual dependence. It's not out of love - but mostly calculated benefit. Things need to run smoothly for everyone to keep making money.
That's one side of the coin. The other is that even though we discover each day how dependent we are on each other, we're also discovering how much we reject each other. A good example is our current situation in Israel where no one wants to budge from their personal take on things.
Hate is a natural reaction to everything the ego cannot achieve for itself - that are beyond the limits of the ego's abilities.
Developing Through Love & Hate
Love is a creative thought. It's actually the highest creative part of a person. So it's clear which is the easier choice. Hate because it's more natural.
Love requires an ongoing investment. It's a responsibility.
There will be no compromises in our current state in Israel. No one is giving an inch. We'll either find out the easy way or the hard way.
It's time for us to understand this system we're living in. The world is really only a raw, truly mechanical result of what we have between us, what our desires and thoughts try to establish.
When these opposites are revealed, neither sides are right. But together, we can find a common goal that doesn't exist in any of us. We build it precisely over the contrasts that are revealed between us.
This is what the new era is all about.
This is what this whole transformation we're going through is really about.
It's a highly beneficial process but if we insist on going through it with blinders on, it's going to be very painful.
