Kabbalah notes

I attend an ongoing online class in Kabbalah.  Yesterday we were invited to attend a global class from Israel.  I was interested in asking a question, and it happened to be asked online:
"As a beginning student, how do I introduce concepts that I understand already to friends/relatives that might be interested?"
My teacher, Michael Laitman's answers to these questions...
  1. The world is global--we are connected to everyone on the planet via globalization
  2. The Kabbalists said the world really started to feel the Kabbalistic concepts from the early 1960's
  3. So today we finally see the connection.
  4. Nature needs to be in a state of balance.
  5. The stories and facts are alright to share.
Probably the most important answer for society today is #1:  we are connected to everyone on the planet via world globalization; he was emphatic about this.  So he answered my question first by giving me the message that should be conveyed, then by saying that it's ok to share these ideas.  Until we reach a critical mass of people in the world who will subscribe to this idea, until we realize that the root of all problems in the world is the fact that we don't recognize that our egos get in the way of connecting with our neighbors we will not have peace.  This is so basic and so logical, but until all 7 billion people on the planet realize this we will NOT have global peace.  As a matter of fact, things will get worse before they get better.

I was on cloud nine when they announced my name for a question:  "And Jay from St. Paul MN, US Learning Center has a question."  I never thought my question would get through the hundreds of thousands that were being asked at the same time.  I don't believe in coincidences; I need to ponder the reason for my question being asked over everyone else's!
