Those Who Want To Control Others Will Not Succeed
The era of control is over. Humanity has had enough of the power struggles between nations.
Throughout history at this time of year Ukrainians go out into the fields to take care of their wheat and beets, potatoes and cotton, which they supply to the whole world. Because their land is especially fertile. But now Ukraine's land is being systematically destroyed in these battles. The fields are being vandalized, hundreds of houses damaged, bridges destroyed and who knows when farmers will return to cultivate their lands. The situation is so serious that the world could descend into a general famine as a result of the situation deteriorating.
We're all beginning to understand that everyone is losing in this war; That there can be no success for a nation that attempted to control a weaker nation by trampling its infrastructure. We're all disgusted with these wars and want the conflicts to end. Enough with one country wanting to control another.
What do we have to gain from another bloody war? Why not use all these negative and destructive forces between us to build something substantial? Why not create new alliances and connections so nations can trade and make a profit? Why should nations not sell goods to each other and profit from that? Why start such an expensive war that is causing prices to skyrocket all over the world? So much hardship and tears, and for what?
This war has thrown us back a hundred years, with no real benefit to offset this. Ukraine is materially destroyed, Russia is economically broken, and in vain. Unlike previous world wars, this time the world is not sweeping it under the carpet. The world is speaking up against the aggressor's lust for control and is imposing severe sanctions. The global brands are setting the tone.
Good or bad depends on the good or bad intention of the controlling part. So if we had positive interdependence between countries, with the whole purpose being cooperation and joint business, then control would be convenient and desirable.
Control is not necessarily a bad trait, but we need to know how to use it. For example, if we're doing some procedure under the care of doctors we want them to control us by treating us as they see fit and curing the disease - that's what we want. Good or bad depends on the good or bad intention of the controlling part. So if we had positive interdependence between countries, with the whole purpose being cooperation and joint business, then control would be convenient and desirable.
Looking inward at ourselves, the power that controls us and motivates us to control others is our ego. This whole new era and everything that comes with it is about learning to replace the control of ego, with a new positive power that is for the benefit of others.
But instead of learning how to do it and developing a good attitude toward others, by bridging the gaps between us, we allowed our natural instincts to overcome and conquer us, and as a result also conquer the others. That is why we all suffer in all areas of life.
The urge to fight will not go away from the world, the struggles will not stop, as they ride on a strong and rooted desire to control, but the hope is that they will get a gradual upgrade. Instead of fighting militarily, with the power of boxing, we will move to fighting economically, with sanctions and imposing international punishments. Not that we will stop fighting, but that we will take away one form of control and take on a new form of control.
Even in economic war there is no real hope, but in the advanced stages of human development we will reach a form in which we will elevate the arguments to higher ranks and fight through emotion and intellect. Like debating scientists or arguing scholars, we will observe ideological disagreements between us to find out what is at their root: what lies behind the strong desire to control and enslave each other - our common ego, which only pushes us to find a solution in our connection over all disputes.
In the not-too-distant future with the help of our augmented EQ, we will recognize our ego's true purpose, and how to utilize it properly for the benefit of all; We will recognize the chaos that our immense pride causes and we will understand how much it interferes with us enjoying a good life here together. That day we will stop fighting each other, and switch to fighting together against the control of the ego.

The Purim Story Is Also About Control
>> Will the Good or Bad Forces Reign Over Us? It's Our Choice
Though it may seem similar to Halloween, the Purim holiday is really a very significant story about good and evil.
As with all the stories from the Torah, the characters and the interaction between them represent attributes and powers that play out in our thoughts, desires, attitudes, and relationships.
As with all the stories from the Torah, the characters and the interaction between them represent attributes and powers that play out in our thoughts, desires, attitudes, and relationships. Mordechai symbolizes a positive force that cares deeply for everyone because the future of the world depends on the development of the good qualities of love and giving, and on the development of a healthy integral connection between all parts of reality and all human beings. On the other hand, evil Haman symbolizes the negative force, an egoistic tendency to control everyone else, to bend everyone under us, to take everything that is possible from others, and to exploit others to our advantage.
The core message of the Purim story is that our neglect in overcoming the differences between us is literally killing us.
The more we develop, the more both types of powers intensify. The ruthless will to rule and control surfaces more and more within people in our time, and great forces of separation are at work to tear us apart. So the core message of the Purim story is that our neglect in overcoming the differences between us is literally killing us.
On this holiday we read Megilat Ester or The Scroll of Esther, which refers to “the revelation of the concealed,” because in Hebrew, “guilui” means revelation, and “ester” from “hastara” means concealment.?
So what is hidden from us? The better state that we need to work towards together, and that is so desperately needed these days is concealed from us now.
So what is hidden from us? The better state that we need to work towards together, and that is so desperately needed these days is concealed from us now. As soon as we learn to connect with one another in an optimal manner, beyond the narrow-minded thinking of our ego, we will remove the root of all the negative things in our world, and a better world will be revealed.
But we need to choose the right path ourselves, because none of this will happen naturally.
Happy Purim to all!
