THE CABALA OF POT

In Chicago, a new policy on marijuana possession would mean adults who are caught with a small amount of the illegal drug would receive a fine instead of being arrested; it's mostly about money and how best to use police resources.

War is a fight over power and money; the drug war instituted by Bush 41 after the fall of the Soviet Union was a way to keep war going even though there was no enemy – the government smuggled drugs and weapons into vulnerable communities igniting a tinderbox of violence.

Rome, who lives by the sword, can only exist and prosper when there is war – if there is no war, then make a war; now, the money and resources needed to keep that war going is running out due to dismal state of the economy. In a sense, pot has won the stupid war on drugs.

The real war of senseless violence has overtaken the war against drugs; a small war has led to a big war in America and Mexico – the legalization of drugs is the remedy to this sudden rise in violence. Rich people get their drugs from the doctor while the poor get drugs from the street.

If Afghanistan was allowed to soothe the pain in the world through their indigenous poppy seed they would be a wealthy country. The Cabala teaches, when a murderer was put to death he was given a drug to block the pain, how much more so people who live in pain deserve their drug of choice.

Too Big to Fail

EU leaders say they are ready to act to shore up Greece's finances and ensure stability in the eurozone but they have made no specific promise of aid.

Economics only works for the high echelon rich who are the ones who established the economic rules which include paying themselves obscene amounts of money as bonuses. Whether people, institutions or countries their too big too fail status is because they are the bedrock of our society.

There is a need for rich people being dispersers of kindness–a king like quality, but that requires a heavenly approach. When the rich only want to be richer by buying up more earth there becomes less room for the rest of us–then overpopulation becomes a matter of too many rich people.

In Hebrew the term often used for riches is Kesof/Silver which has an additional meaning of Desire; desire is a spiritual phenomenon and one can not fill a spiritual need with physicality because spirit last forever while the earth constantly degrades. Those who make money for money sake are detrimental to the health of the world.

The Cherubim, depicting the mother of souls described in the Torah was made of gold; the Talmud-Book of Law says if they were made of silver they would represent idols–the Cabala concludes Those lost in riches are furthest away from God.

Tower of Babel

The Burj/Tower a half-mile-high skyscraper officially opened yesterday looking like a modern-day Tower of Babel. Dubai has been wracked by a debt crisis, and the building stands mostly empty and unwanted by the international tenants for whom it was supposedly built.

The original Tower of Babel was built on Mars according to the Zohar-Book of Secret; the Midrash–Book of Metaphor explains how 4000 years ago Nimrod made himself king over the world convincing the people to conquer the heavens to prevent another flood. The Talmud-Book of Law says the Tower was so large that one could walk beneath its shadow for three days; the Tower could be seen from all parts of the earth.

In Dubai where the rich and powerful had begun moving their operations is an earthly monument to the affliction of man waring with God–the premise to the Tower of Babel. Interestingly, the tower in Dubai has been renamed to reflect the leader of that country–a clear declaration and split with the west.

In the story of the Tower of Babel the human beings were forced to spread out throughout the earth abandoning a central focus other than the Creator. This modern day repetition of this ancient tale bodes badly for the future of economics and money in particular. Money, power and religion are doomed because the innate spirit of the good human being is on the ascent.
