Hello,

Dear teachers could you paraphrase what's in red and give an equivalent for what's in green, please?

Only through learning do we develop the necessary skills and dispositions to ascend the ladder of consciousness to achieve levels ablove 200. And for those who dwell in ignorance of their problems and of themselves, they tend to be "energy vampires' disconnceting the fabric of the world around them, often inflicting misery and abuse to themselves and others in the wake of their clouds of dispair and despondency.

thank you very much Smile [:)]

Someone's disposition has to do with their character and the way they think.
"Disconnecting the fabric of the world" is a very graphic way of describing how fundementally destructive such "energy vampires" can be:
- disconnect = when you take something out of action by detaching it from a power supply, or interrupt or end something by breaking the connection.
- fabric of the world = how everything around us is linked together, e.g. relationships, communication - 'woven together' like the strands in a cloth.

Thank you so much, I know that but the problem is that I couldn't translate it into Arabic, it doesn't quite  make sense.  I need you to say it in another way with the same meaning  so that I can translate it , please.

dispositions >> inclination

disconnecting the fabric of  the world around them >> ripping the fabric [the underlying structure/the framework] of the world
