Machloket and the [Current] Royal Family

Machloket, the Hebrew word for dispute or strife, is related to the word "piece" or "fragment" because a machloket shatters the Peace into pieces.  There is fall-out and bad things happen. That's why you should always stay away from arguments [unless they are for the sake of Heaven].

The machloket in the British Royal family, initiated by Harry and Meghan, caused a worldwide machloket. People were taking sides: for and against.   

Several years after it had begun, King Charles III and his daughter-in-law the Princess of Wales are both diagnosed with cancer, requiring them both to begin chemotherapy and cease Royal duties until their health has returned.

That's what a machloket does.  You're watching it play out now.  

Of course it's no accident that Harry married Meghan.  He's probably a gilgul of King Edward VIII who abdicated the throne in favour of marrying his lover Wallis Simpson.  Meghan is the new Wallis Simpson, very similar in personality and probably another gilgul.  No surprise that Prince Philip used to call her DOW [Duchess of Windsor]

Rebbe Nachman of Breslov explains "machloket":

At the end of his story “The Spider and The Fly” (Rabbi Nachman’s Stories, p. 151), Rebbe Nachman tells us that when the soul of a great tzaddik—him!—comes to this world, Satan protests. “If the tzaddik is allowed to come to the world, I will be unable to do my job! Do not let him be born!” God’s reply is that the tzaddik must be born. Satan must seek a solution to his problem. 

The tzaddik must come in order to teach and model for us how life is meant to be lived. If not, we could not know and we would have no chance to choose a proper way of life. On the other hand, as Satan correctly pointed out, the tzaddik would be so successful that he, Satan, could not do his job. There must be free will. That’s the point of living: having and using free will, preferably making right choices! So what is Satan’s solution? He befriends a stooped-over old man: machloket—argument, strife, dissension, politics. And the Satan laughs; he is no longer afraid of the great tzaddik and his teachings.

Let’s think for a moment. Satan goes from pleading and being distraught at the prospect of squaring off against the tzaddik, to laughing and being unconcerned. Why? He has found machloket. The implication is that the tzaddik needs and thrives on shalom. Shalom means more than “peace.” Just as machloket is related to the Hebrew word for “piece” and “fragment,” shalom is related to the words “whole” and “complete.” Everything in Rebbe Nachman’s teachings stresses—and sometimes screams—wholeness: in prayer, in Torah study, in caring and sharing (chessed and tzedakah).

I too think that the cancers have been caused by the Harry and Meghan arguments.

As for the gilgulim (re incarnations), it really seems as if they are.
The behaviour is so similar, strikingly similar.

Thank you London Male. Great minds think alike :)

Or the cause could be from taking the covid shots. Thousands who have taken the shots reported a cancer diagnosis. Unfortunately, many children and originally health teenagers and adults have cancer, r’l. Very unusual.

Many people who got the vax actually got saline or some other harmless liquid. Hashem must have set it up that way, to protect a lot of innocents. It was a lottery.... and Hashgacha Pratis was at play here.

The last time I went to the pharmacy, there were a lot of people and I had to wait. There was an elderly Jewish couple sitting there, waiting to go in to get a Covid booster shot [this was only a few weeks ago]. I knew who they were and I asked them why they were getting another booster when Covid was not even around much anymore. Oh, she said, all our friends have it and I dont' want to get it again. Again? I asked her how many Covid boosters she'd had and she said this was her 6th shot. I was horrified. I asked her why she kept getting the boosters when obviously they didn't work because she had already got Covid once. She replied that if she hadn't had the shots, the disease would have been much worse.

Anyway I tried to dissuade them from getting another booster, but they wouldn't listen to me and they went in to get it.

This is the kind of naivety that we're dealing with. Drugstores continuing to inject poison into willing arms. And stupid people who think they are protecting themselves continue to line up and take the shot.

I would not call people who get boosters stupid.

They are scared.

If you have seen a friend of your's with Covid breathing difficulties struggle to walk into an ambulance, then never see him again because he died in the hospital (as happened to a friend of mine), you too might be scared.

That's true London Male. It is a scary thought.
