I don’t think it is very accurate – or wise – to speak in generalizations like “the world” or the “the Jews.” It’s especially annoying when you hear people in the media making sweeping “we” statements, like “We have to do something about climate change” or “We have to stop racism.” If there is anything that should be patently evident to everyone (especially Kabbalists): there is no agency – no such thing as “I,” not least a collective and murmurating “we.”
There are all kinds of people and all kinds of religious and spiritual practices that have the potential to effect positive change in the world, some more, some less. The wisdom of the Kabbalah is one of the more powerful, effective, and complete systems, but there are many others that are just as (if not more) promising as solutions to universal egoism. Such systems include, but are not limited to, certain Sufi orders, the Gurdjieff Work, the Baha’i Faith, many orders Buddhism (especially the Tibetan schools), the direct path of Advaita Vedanta … and don’t even get me started on the the secret, esoteric groups whose work, though hidden, is probably doing more to effect redemption and correction than any open or known movement (Yazidis, Druze, Mandeans, Mazdans, Gnostics, etc.).
Our hope lies not in any one group or movement or religion, but in the whole “shakshuka” of conscientious individuals and groups of people of goodwill who should come together and harmonize our ecologies practice toward a more well-directed and pluralistic management of egoism and engagement of altruism.
Jews naturally hold themselves to a higher standard. Reformed Judaism is starting to teach more acceptance than rebuke. You can be a Christian to day and walk into a synagogue and they wont ask you to convert in reformed Judaism. They wont ask you to do anything, and they will even teach you to live like a “righteous Goyim” im the Noahide traditions and law. Torah teaches us that one can be a righteous gentile and still be accepted by all Yehudi. This is commonly called “Grafted in” by many secular Christians. That being said Yehudi is not literal in the sense of literal torah. When one understands these allegories just like the ones of Zohar are coded they can see that the “famous history” in Judaism is just the preservation of allegories that lead to Kabbalah, which is what makes a Modern Jews special. We gave our lives to protect this way, and back then we didnt even know what we were protecting, we just made sure it was protected because we knew it was special.
