What is the origin of the crisis that we Venezuelans experience, from the point of view of Kabbalah? (II)
The root of the crisis
A simple answer (at first glance) is that we have lost the optimal connection with the cosmos, between ourselves, and with the other species that populate the planet.
One of the central ideas of Kabbalah from the time of Abraham, going through Maimonides, Sephardic Kabbalah, tha Kabbalah of Provence, Catalonia and Safed, or the current centers of study, is the notion that we are all interconnected , that we are a single organism.
Not an organism ON the planet, but an organism THAT INCLUDES the planet itself, in all its levels, mineral, vegetable, human, let's say, something similar to the concept of Pangeia, the entire planet as a living organism within which humans are like cells
The vision of Solaris
An allegorical view can be seen in the film "Solaris" by Andrei Tarkovsky, based on Stanislaw Lem's book. The planet Solaris is a living being, thinking, sentient, suffering from spasms and storms due to the selfish and undue human action in the space station that circumnavigates it.
Nature, Creation, God (name it) has produced this wonder that is our planet, with exact, millimetric laws that maintain the balance between the parts, the homeostasis, and have contributed to an impressive evolution that -until now - It has reached a very high peak with thinking humans.
We do not know if there will be other peaks superior to us, human or nonhuman, but what we can verify is that, at this moment, humans are a real nuisance for the planet, for balance, for homeostasis.
The disconnection with the cosmos
We have broken the rules of life of the planet, of the cosmos, and this has led us to a global ecological catastrophe, wars, famines, epidemics, of which Venezuela has not been able to escape - despite its enormous natural and material resources - for the simple reason exposed above: humanity, and we as a part of it, have lost the optimal connection with the cosmos and among ourselves.
I want to say that it is our own way of relating to others, to the environment and to the cosmos, which has led us to this crisis. "Our" means ALL Venezuelans, let's say it in political terminology: chavistas, maduristas, impartials, pro Guaidó, pro yankees, pro-cubans, militaries, civilians, in the homeland, in exile, and put all the other varieties that you remember.
The division between "us" and "them"
At the political level, from the point of view of Kabbalah, it can be traced in language. When you briefly analyze the diatribes in social networks, in the media, in corners or in bars, you will almost always hear two categories: "us" and "them."
"We" means the good guys in the movie, the ones who are going to save the world. "They" means those responsible for the crisis, those who have destroyed the nation. Think about it, and you may recognize yourself using these categories, whether you are an opponent, a pro government, a neutral one, etc.
Through this scheme, through this mechanism, the blame always belongs to others, and each one of us, on a personal level, is totally innocent of what is happening, has no responsibility in the crisis, in the double sense of the word: responsibility as guilt or responsibility in the sense of a certain duty to amend and repair what has been broken.
There is no "We" (for now) capable of accommodating us all, capable of amalgamating a certain unit, a certain "One".
The relationships, the energy, the connection, is not capable of keeping the whole together, both in the case of the entire planet and in the Venezuelan case.
Why have we lost the optimal connection? And what are the parameters of that optimal connection?
That will be the subject of the next post.
