Life works in such a way that all cells must become mutually dependent on each other in order to build a living body. Nature created a regularity by which the adhesive that joins the cells and the organs as a living body is the relationship of mutual consideration among them. Thus, it follows that the force that creates and sustains life is a force of giving and sharing. Its objective is to create a life based on a mutually considerate existence, harmonious, and balanced among all its elements.
Humanity can benefit from seeing examples of mutual dependency in Nature, in order to inspire us to develop such relationships among ourselves. By achieving mutual consideration, trust and love among people, we will discover a whole new life of balance, harmony and completeness.

To enter the competition, in the comments section below, leave your
name
contact e-mail, and
write Kabbalah’s solution to the crisis in your own words, in a 140 to 220 word count limit.
The writing style can be anything you like: informative, creative, personal, a bulleted list… The answer with the most “Wow! Factor” receives the prize.
* Globalization 101 – We live in a globalized world, but few of us know what the word “globalized” actually means…
* The Changing Nature of Humanity – Most of us are beginning to notice that something is different about the world: It is “shrinking into a small village” before our very eyes. But what most of us don’t see as easily is that the rules of our interactions have also changed…
* At Odds With Nature – Correct diagnosis of an illness is half its cure. Hence, to resolve humanity’s problems, we first need to understand their causes…
Financial Crisis
* The Financial Crisis: Diagnosis and Cure – Is there anyone in the world who remains untouched by the current financial crisis? Everyone agrees that something must be done; Kabbalah can tell us what that something is.
* What Happened? – Many of us are seeing our financial foundations crumble as the economic crisis continues. How did we get here, and where are we headed?
* The Divine Conspiracy – If nature were oriented toward self-benefit as we humans are, our bodies would instantly disintegrate. Instead, nature is inherently altruistic, and this is what enables life. But if nature is altruistic for its own benefit, why aren’t we?
* What Is Happening to Our Economy? – The recent Wall Street plunge has left everyone in shock. It’s time to change our systems at the root if we are to climb out of this economic crisis…
* The Consumer Effect – The globalization of economics means that any local market is inextricably tied to the global economy. The ongoing dollar decline, lately spurred by changes in China’s market, clearly demonstrates how interdependent the world’s markets have become. We have to discover the right way to act within an interconnected system—and what’s a better example to study than Nature, the mother of perfect, integral systems?
Ecological Crisis
* The Hurricane Within – What makes nature go out of balance, and what can we do to save the planet?
* Global Warming – So What? – With the abundant information available to the mass public today, everyone knows about global warming and climate change. But as it turns out, knowing and caring do not always go hand in hand…
* The Untold Story of a Consumer Nation – Stuff. It fills our closets, our garages, and our lives. We gauge success in life by the stuff we own, and spend incredible amounts of time shopping for it. A new documentary, The Story of Stuff, shows how our entire lives have been taken over by “stuff.” And the wisdom of Kabbalah shows what we can do about it…
* Ecology and Us – “We are facing a true planetary emergency. It is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity,” former Vice President Al Gore dramatically stated when he accepted his Noble Peace Prize…
* The Tip of the Iceberg – Where it wasn’t scorching hot in North America this past summer, it was flooded. But it wasn’t just in North America. Large parts of Europe and Asia seemed to be either blazing (literally) or submerged under flash floods, mudslides, or overflowing rivers. And where harm didn’t come from the sky, it came from beneath the ground: Peru is recovering from a deadly earthquake, and in Japan the biggest nuclear power station was shut down after a quake triggered radiation leakage…
Food & Water Crisis
Mankind’s Growing Hunger – The current food crisis has been declared a ‘silent tsunami’ in recent headlines. Kabbalah explains the root of the problem, and shows us how to avert this growing threat…
* We Are All in Deep (Drinking) Water – According to the latest research, we can start thinking of our water faucets, and even store bought bottled water, as an all-purpose pharmacy. Whether it’s anti-depressants or antibiotics, prescription or over the counter – if others are taking it, so are you…
Crisis in Society, Education & Family
* Who Is the Real Enemy in the Russian-Georgian War? – We can point fingers in any direction, but we won’t find the enemy anywhere “out there,” because it’s sitting right inside of us. Kabbalah offers a new tactic to counter its offensive…
* From Racial Rifts to Spiritual Harmony – Why were we all created different? So far, this seems to have brought us nothing but schisms. Kabbalah explains how to put the pieces together…
* What’s Happening to Our Youth? – More and more youngsters are succumbing to drugs, depression and horrendous acts of violence. What has brought about the crisis our young generation is facing? Kabbalah explains that it’s their desire that’s in crisis, as they can no longer fulfill it with what we try to give them…
* Obesity – A Lack of Spiritual Food – Everyone today is counting their calories—but the obesity problem only keeps growing. Kabbalah explains that this epidemic is yet another symptom that the modern human being is not getting his “spiritual food”
