Preface
An unremitting concern and anxiety over the dangers facing
mankind today, along with the persistence of the "Jewish
tragedy" – are those which prompted me to write my book. I felt
a need to bring to man's attention a unique content that will
assist him in overcoming these dangers and this tragedy.
The dangers I refer to are, first and foremost, the nuclear
holocaust, which appears to be realistic within the circumstance
of our lives; grave ecological problems, such as global warming,
nuclear pollution, the danger posed by ultraviolet radiation
owing to the depletion of the ozone layer, the increase in
nuclear accidents and the spread of AIDS. To these should be
added the dangers stemming from the degraded state of man's
morals. Among these, we can point to the spread of crime and of
drug use, incitements to hatred and violence, the abundance of
terrorist groups in the Arab world and the appearance of
neo-Nazi groups in the welfare states. All these may lead to a
reoccurrence of disasters from the not so distant past and bring
closer the threat of a nuclear holocaust.
The most fundamental question every man must pose is: Can the
situation described here be improved upon?
If we believe that Man was created
in God's image, and is therefore inherently positive by
nature and has an exalted Godly role (these terms will be
clarified and verified over the course of this book), then he
must possess tools for activating a process of liberating
himself from the distress in which he is mired.
In my book,
I'll attempt to show that such tools are indeed in his
possession and can be efficiently activated. Therefore, the
answer is positive |
