I hear the perennial efforts to split Oregon into two states are underway again. Where can a West Oregon resident get involved in this, in aid of East Oregon?
Americans haven’t gone through everything Europe has. They are a young nation that still has the inertia of the consumer society and the cult of the dollar. The public doesn’t yet fully comprehend phenomena like the modern crisis, because it still has faith in its society and democracy.
Bernard Shaw wrote: “Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many [like in America] for appointment by the corrupt few [like in Russia].”
We learn from the collapse of the system of the spiritual worlds (Shvirat Olam HaNekudim), that the higher a level (Malach) is, the lower it falls when it breaks. But this action takes longer than on lower levels due to the level’s height and reserve power, and hence its inability to recognize and predict the forthcoming developments that threaten it…
Similarly, faith in God and the feeling of safety one gets from carrying weapons delay one’s recognition of the forthcoming crisis. If society continues developing egoistically, the crisis will be devastating to all.
Nevertheless, we can already see the influence of Kabbalah’s dissemination. I don’t mean its mechanical dissemination, the fact that people know about Kabbalah. Rather, I’m talking about the fact that little by little, people are starting to think in Kabbalistic notions, even without being aware of it. Most of the dissemination happens through thought, through the Upper field of forces, and I hope that it will bring about recognition and a change in people’s attitude to the world, God and weapons.

While I'm naturally skeptical about people who profess to have "The Answer", I admit to having a similar conceit.
I hope, Laitman, that while we await Nirvana, you will not think less of me because I continue (without bitterness) to cleave to my God and my guns, in the presence of those bereft souls who are even more benighted than am I, and who would attempt to hasten my ascendancy before my time.
To paraphrase St. Augustine:
"Lord, give me reincarnation, but do not give it yet."
