Part 3:
Baal HaSulam. Introduction to The Book of Zohar. #9
1. R. (03:38) Yes this is not the introduction of the Book of Zohar like you learned in the first part or that this is the introduction to the Book of Zohar it is a entirely different thing so let us continue where we were item at 9.
Reading Introduction to the Book of Zohar Item #9 () Twice
2. S. (06:13) Here it talks about the beginning of creation and we know that only one soul was created and here it talk in plural, why?
R. I do not want to answer instead of Baal Hasulam. I do not know this is how he writes. It does not really bother you so much accept it like this in the meantime and then later on out of the general picture it will become clearer to you.
S. Another question was whether this was before the shattering?
R. It is talking about the connection of all the parts together. Yes, which is a separation in spirituality and corporeality. We will scrutinize this further. To me it also seems that it depends a wider explanation but not now. We will go on and see what we understand and complete it.
3. S. (08:24) In the excerpt that we read and also the others, it was said that the Creator has no desire to receive and it is not clear who you will receive from. I do not understand the essence of..
R. Seemingly there is above the Creator someone higher than him giving him. This Higher One. But there is none, that is why he writes this way. That it is scary to think about it because there is nothing like that. That is how he writes it.
S. (08:57) A part came out from the mountain and that also caused separation in the mountain. How did that happen?
R. I do not really understand, can you phrase it differently.
S. How could it be that a soul that came out of the Creator caused separation among the souls?
R. Well of course that is a part that caused the separation. If one part came out of the unity, there is no unity. There is this separation between the parts.
S. Why?
R. One already caused it.
S. So it separated from the source?
R. No, and what about the ones who stay. Are they united or is one missing?
S. Ok, so one is missing.
R. So that is it. There is no unity. It is either 100% or 0 with respect to this rule.
S. He doesn't explain it but what is the difference between all the parts?
R. What does it matter? If there is no explanation about it then none is needed. Of course we are all different and we do not know in what. But we do not need to examine ourselves to learn ourselves how we are different. We have to learn how to connect.
S. Why are there many parts of the mountain that are differentiated from him?
R. That's how it is to begin with. Because there are different desires and that is how the Creator created.
S. Apparently there could be one part that is separated and one part that returns.
R. No, this cannot be because it already stems from the beginning, Bereshit, The Genesis and all of these parts are different from each other in order to make that effort to connect.
S. This process is opposite to the process of shattering.
R. Yes. It is reversible.
S. How is this process reversible?
R. The Creator compliments the parts because according to their request He gives them a force of giving of his own. He participates by his own force of connection. And then they connect and they resemble the Creator above their will to receive. The will to receive does not disappear. On the contrary, to the extent that they connect above the will to receive then the connection between them only increases the appearance of the Creator between them. Instead of Nefesh that have NRNHY in various ways until the light of Ein Sof.
S. In the beginning what causes the will to receive to depart from other parts of the will to receive?
R. The will to receive itself.
S. So how could it be that the Creator connects between them when the will to receive remains?
R. According to their desire, the revelation of evil between them, accordingly he gives them his own force of connection. He himself connects them, he appears between them. This is the meaning of the revelation of the Creator to the created being.
S. But if the desires remain, how can the Creator connect them.
R. He can connect them because they want to connect. They just don't have the strength to do it, so he is with them together connecting them. This is the meaning of the revelation of the Creator through the created being, the appearance of the Creator among the created beings. When the Creator holds them and they hold him.
S. And how don't they turn into one desire, how do they hold onto their uniqueness?
R. Because the will to receive itself that everyone has does not purify, it does not disappear. It remains. That’s why the difference, the distance between the desires remains.
S. But if the will to receive is what separates, and the Creator is what connects them so then they need to annul?
R. It does not annul. It never annuls. Otherwise, the created beings would disappear.
S. How does the Creator connect between them?
R. Above their will to receive, he gives them a desire to connect when each one wants to bestow to others.
S. And in that place above the will to receive, is that what separates them now.
R. Yes.
S. Is that place that separates them?
R. Their natural will to receive that the Creator created that separates them and the will to bestow, which is the Creator's quality itself connect between them above the will to receive. Then it turns out that they have both the will to receive and the will to bestow. One covers the other.
4. S. (15:12) This allegory always confused me where you take the stone from the mountain, you look at the material that the stone is made of and the mountain is the same material, but if the stone is the will to receive that separated from the Creator, how are they similar?
R. How are they similar? They are both a will to receive but there is a connection between them in their nature, in the place they came out. Now they are disconnected, they may connect. But when they return to be connected, they are connected by the force of the Creator that connects them. By the revelation of the Creator, by their desire. Both the mountain and the stone to be connected, specifically by the force of the Creator and to give them contentment.
S. What is the mountain in this allegory? It’s the Creator or the full will to receive?
R. The full will to receive.
5. S. (16:39) The full will to receive that we become parts of, he said that disparity of form is the ax which causes this confusion where we do not see where we came from. Now connection brings us back to that, but there is this connection between disparity of form and connection. How do we make that bridge so that it will be constant and that it will not detach all the time. Is there a way to do that?
R. By the intention. When we hold it. The intention to be together. Each one has a personal one but all of us want to be connected in the group.
S. (17:32) He opens in item nine that we therefore find in spirituality the disparity of form acts like the ax that separates in the corporeal world and the distance between them is proportional to the oppositeness of form. So I say why does this ax need to come and separate between them? What is the reason for that?
R. In order to pass on to the created beings the reality of the distance between the Creator and the created beings so that they will understand that there is coming closer and growing further away. Connection and disconnection. By that they can learn the nature of the Creator and what the nature of the created being is.
S. Once we were connected to the mountain?
R. Yes.
S. What is the evil bad thing here?
R. That the created being did not understand what happens here. He was only there inside this drop of semen not understanding where he is, what reality, what nature, what forces.
S. So that is the act of Creation?
R. This is the act of Creation. This is why we say Creation in Hebrew is “Beria” from the word Bar, outside of the degree. When the created being feels he is severed from the Creator.
S. And all of that is just so we will straighten up and return to the mountain?
R. Correct.
S. (19:23) The souls receive from his essence, they receive from existence from existence. So if you have a part from the mountain that looks like, in my perception, that it comes from existence from absence. So what do they mean here?
R. Souls receive from the Creator existence from existence. But existence from absence, how can they receive? I don’t understand your question.
S. If it is a part of the whole, and it can only be it looks like Creator that is in a part, it is separated so it looks like that it is existence from absence. Can you explain this difference?
R. No, I cannot grasp what you're saying. Let’s wait a few more questions maybe it will become clear.
S. (21:06) He writes your that we learned that the will to receive is existence from absence and here here he writes it is existence from existence in relation to the light. So the question is if they both exist together existence from existence and existence from our absence, do they exist together?
R. Yes, of course they exist together. I don’t understand your questions today? There's existence from existence and existence from absence, yes. Because it depends where bestowal comes from?
6. S. (21:57) I feel some resistance to this excerpt because we learned that a part of His essence is something that we cannot attain and here they say that the souls are part of His essence. What is the difference between the Creator and His essence and do we connect those two.
R. Atzmuto His essence is something we do not attain and the Creator is something we may attain because Bo-re comes from the words come and see, Bo-re it comes to show that we come and we attain according to the equivalence of form. So part of the upper one which we do not attain is called Atzmuto and the part of the upper one we can attain is called Creator.
S. The created being is a part of his essence which we do not attain?
R. No.
7. S. (23:07) This excerpt is very interesting. It is as if we take the Creator who is whole, complete, connected and bring out from him the souls as if we bring out..
R. Can you ask a question without the story? Just ask directly without bringing us into your own picture?
S. Sorry, I'll try. Souls descend from the Creator. Souls are something spiritual. The Creator certainly is spiritual. We learned that the matter that was created that the will to receive was separated from him which means in practice we extract the carrier from the connector and we become corporeal?
R. No. I cannot say it this way. We will learn bit by bit and we will see where the realm of the Creator and the realm of the created beings is. I do not want to be in your picture.
8. S. (24:39) Is the fact that the human population is increasing that is the separation from the mountain?
R. Yes.
9. S. (24:59) Thank you for the opportunity. From the passage, because of the disparity of form the souls were separated from the Creator and became creatures. What is the nature or form of the creature?
R. The nature of their created beings is the will to receive which is the opposite of the Creator. The created being is the opposite of the Creator by its nature, however when this created being performs a correction on his will to receive by the intention.
The will receive stays but the creative being acquires an intention to use his will to receive as if it is the will to bestow. Like the guest and the host, when the guest stops using his will to receive and rather uses it only to bestow to the Creator, to the host and he doesn't look at how hungry he is, but rather how he wants and how he can and how he is capable by this will to receive to use it only to bestow to the host. And here he become similar to the Host by what, by his intention to bestow.
Then he can measure the Creator's intention to bestow with his own intention to bestow with the created being and accordingly the extent of the connection and the distance between them is measured. The created being tries to reach a state that his extent of giving will be like the extent of the bestowal of the Creator to him. This means he only thinks about how to bestow contentment to the Creator just like the Creator thinks of how to give contentment to the created being.
S. Are we at the level of creature or is that a higher degree?
R. Right now we are, I cannot say. Some are closer to the Creators nature and some are closer to the creatures nature. We are in various degrees.
10. S. It relates to the intent. Is the intent the ability to reach equivalece of form with the Creator?
R. Only the intention. Only the intention.
S. Is it existence from existence or existence from absence or both?
R. Existence from existence is what the Creator has and existence from absence is in the created being.
11. S. (28:58) When you answered his questions we heard that you said the individual is not enough for the whole, so the question is how does the Creator sustain his wholeness if our own wholeness and our own Unity is the Creator?
R. This is a very good question. It was asked by a wise woman. I would say that the Creator is something that exists to begin with. He is revealed with respect to the created beings. The Creator always exists only with respect to the creatures to the humans he is being scrutinized meaning that he is revealing himself but in truth there is no question about him, it is nature. It is nature itself.
S. (30:30) What is the, what is the patent by which the Creator created the creation. How can we become like him?
R. He wished to create the creatures to be just like him according to the new qualities of bestowal that they received from him even though they are opposite because the creature has to be opposite from the Creator otherwise he would not be a creature. Later he will perform corrections on himself to resemble the Creator. And these corrections he will demand of himself by his own free choice to such an extent that he builds something opposite, opposite of his nature from himself. This is something we don't really understand, what is going on with us but we will understand. We will attain and we will take part in that, in that building.
S. If I can ask more precisely. This independence where the creation becomes independent as a part that was separated from the mountain this revelation of where I can realize my independence is that the attainment of the Creator?
R. Well, yes you can say that. There are many other conditions here that is why I cannot answer yes but it is the right direction.
12. S. (32:45) Relation to the patience, maybe we can succeed to understand what it is. The acts of the disparity of form brings about the shells, so how can we build. We need to adhere in return through the Mitzvot of faith and we see that the Creator gives the Aleph, the unity only if there are good deeds. So what are the good deeds? Is it the wholeness of faith as a measure under a measure that the Creator gives something whole?
R. A good act is an opportunity, a suggestion, an invitation for connection and that’s it.. to return to have what we had before the shattering of the vessel of man.
S. The Creator gives the person, judges a person according to where he is and if a person falls afterward in any case the Creator gives to the person. Meaning the person builds faith above all doubts so that he will be in wholeness and that is what everything depends on. Is that correct?
R. Well, suppose it is. It’s not clear what that is related to but ok.
S. What is special about the degree of man?
R. The essence of the still, vegetative, and animate in us needs no equivalence. These parts exist because that is a law of nature when we receive by nature degrees of still vegetative and animate already. The degrees of the speaking level is something we do not see in nature. We have to build this degree on our own. That is why if you see humans in our world then by the wisdom of Kabbalah they are called, considered to be in the degree of still, vegetative and animate. In humans you can say but still, it is the still vegetative and animate and only the speaking level rises above the animate and this degree doesn't care about the animate level in it coming out from worrying only about this person but worries about spirituality. So that part in a man that cares about spirituality is called the speaking level.
S. Meaning there is a certain degree where it is possible to measure equivalence of form with a first-degree?
R. Of course.
S. And in relation to that are all the previous degrees?
R. Yes.
13. S. (36:56) I heard that the desires do not connect at the level of the desires one to another. So what connects all the will to receive so that they will become like a mountain.
R. Mutual bestowal glues the desires to each other.
S. So what happened to bestowal that it glues them together.
R. Disappeared. This is what was broken this glue, the mutual bestowal. Imagine to yourself that you have 20 brothers or siblings and there is glue between them. There is a connection. Suddenly this feeling, this connection disappears and that is called shattering.
S. Where does it disappear?
R. Even from the force of connection it became the force of separation, of hatred.
S. And now that the souls create connection above the desires is that connection a new creation? Something they create.
R. Yes of course because this connection is coming from the effort by the lower ones, by ever the created beings themselves. It’s as if that created beings build create the world. This is the whole innovation of creation when the created beings go through the recognition of evil, hatred of evil, and they yearn for good and they understand they cannot reach this good at all if they don’t convince the Creator to help them, to take care of them, to support them.
So they have to hand themselves over piece by piece to the Creator so that the Creator will connect them and they themselves simply nutralize themselves, they’re not there. So just the Creator takes care of them, it’s like a baby in his mother's hands, let the mother do whatever she knows, she understands. That’s how we have to be in the hands of the Creator.
S. So I have nothing to search for at the corporeal level all these friends around me. I need to look at the degree that doesn’t exist, the creation that doesn’t exist?
R. We need to look for people that can appreciate a correction meaning that connection between themselves to such an extent that they’ll give the Creator the force, the authority to correct them. That they can be taken care of by the Creator like a mother with her children and then she will finish this work gradually and the baby will grow by his mother's care and is always devoted to the mother. He annuls himself more and more to the mother and the mother will take care of him and he will grow to be big, to become Adam, resembling the Creator. So we see here the force of Bina even though it came out of Keter. Here it’s the opposite, it cultivates it, it grows the created being to resemble the Creator.
S. We see it with small children when they change from a baby to a toddler their ego grows, they change.
R. Of course it grows otherwise how will the baby grow?
S. So how do we win that war when the ego grows where it doesn't want any more and we need to restrict it?
R. By the environment, we’re learning this, environment is a factor.
S. What should we request from the environment?
R. To support you to become Adam rather than staying in the degree of the beast.
14. S. (42:16) We learned that His essence is something that we do not attain and the Creator is Boreh, come and see. Do it turns out that the Creator divides into parts which we can attain and there’s a part that we cannot attain?
R. I didn’t understand. We attain the Creator part by part to the extent that we can disconnect ourselves from the will to receive meaning from ourselves and to start resembling the Creator, the will to bestow. To that extent we advance this way.
S. Meaning it’s a gradual revelation and His essence is something that is unattainable or is it something that is attainable?
R. It is not attained in the Creator but we attain it on ourselves. When we turn ourselves to bestowers above our will to receive, each one to another then by that we learn what it means to bestow.
S. Meaning that at some point we will reveal His essence?
R. No we don’t attain His essence. This is the part from which everything comes out and that’s something we do attain. It’s above us. About this Baal HaSulam writes be cautious not to send your hand to it, to reach out to it.
15. S. (44:46) If the creation would resemble the qualities of the Creator will it become adhered to Him and will it stop being apart?
R. The Creator, we need to learn these things yet but it’s several degrees. The Creator’s only with respect to us. It’s like a child when he says mother he refers to someone who gave birth to him and helped him grow up etc., but this is related to the Creator, it belongs to Him. He created us we are drawn to him etc., it’s not something that is disconnected from us.
16. S (45:54) You said that the Creator exists before us. The breaking, the shattering turned out when we came out from Him and at the end of connection we come to 613 times greater meaning an amplification of the intensity of the Creator through all of creation.
R. Yes.
17. S. (46:38) How can we identify within ourselves disparity of form?
R. If we have some force of bestowal then with respect to that we can measure how much the other qualities we have are in the force of reception and accordingly we measure. You need to have light and darkness to a certain extent by which you can measure one compared to the other.
18. S (47:25) The created being even when it corrects its intention to reach 100% bestowal to the Creator will the Creator always be different to him meaning that the creation will always be a part of the Creator and does that law also exist among the souls?
R. Yes.
19. S. (48:01) How can we implement and observe the act of bestowal in the ten? Does it happen through the Arvut?
R. Yes, yes dear, of course it does. We have to try to learn this and to keep it.
20. S. (48:45) Does separation come from the individual will to receive?
R. Yes, of course it does.
21. S. (49:07) When can we reach equivalence of form?
R. Whenever we reach equivalence of form then we’ll reach equivalence of form.
22. S. (49:19) Where are the separated parts, where is the desire to connect among them?
R. This is called the point in the heart when they’re drawn from the root to the Creator.
23. S. (49:38) In the revelation of the Creator to the created being how can the Kabbalist be cautious from reaching out his hand to it?
R. Through that with which the friends hold him.
24. S. (49:53) What is the root of the soul?
R. The root of the soul is the place in the collective soul of Adam HaRishon in the general will to receive where that point departed from his heart and from where he is nourished.
25. S. (50:22) What is the meaning of the parts being close to each other prior to the shattering?
R. The meaning of the parts being close, because they didn’t have a developed will to receive, it was at the degree of Aviut of Shoresh. And afterward it revealed more and more and then people started feeling that they were more distanced from one another and as such that’s how they became remote from one another.
26. S. (51:29) If the Creator broke us and we need to neutralize ourselves so that the Creator will connect us what exactly is our work, why are we here?
R. Our work is as we now learn that despite all the disturbances to connect together. Where in this path we learn the entire nature of the creation, of the Creator and the whole nature of the relationship between them and as such we attain the whole of reality.
27. S (52:11) What is the meaning by be cautious not to send your hand to Him?
R. A hand is a will to receive, that is what it means not to send his hand.
28. S. (52:41) How can the created being examine how much to receive from the Creator in order to give Him back? How does that happen?
R. We need to reach a certain connection, a mutual agreement and then we’ll see how much each one receives and gives, that it will be agreed among them. That is called Zivug de Hakaa.
S. But where does this calculation occur?
R. This calculation takes place in the person, in the heart of a person. That’s where the Creator and the creation is felt by the person and he calculates between them.
S. In the desire?
R. Yes, heart is desire.
S. If we say that the desire doesn’t change.
R. What does that mean the desire doesn’t change? Don’t just throw these sentences where afterward you need to build something.
S. I simply don't understand if I don’t do it in my head where do I make this calculation?
R. You calculate in your desire. Other than that you have nothing, other than your desire.
29. S. (54:25) How did the souls acquire the inequivilence of form after they received the upper light?
R. Souls receive the upper light according to their effort to reach equivalence of form. Before they make this effort they cannot receive any degree of equivalence of form with the upper one.
30. S. (55:11) Does the light extend from the part Atzmuto called Creator?
R. The light extends from Atzmuto from His essence, let's call it His essence which is called the Creator. There are several things to add here because we never attain His essence like how the Creator is Boreh, come and see. So there's a part where we attain called come, there's a part that we attain called see and there's another part that we don’t attain, there are these divisions
31. S. (56:02) Our actions of Atzmuto upon us, upon creation, is that the part called Creator?
R. Creator means what I attain, it is two words Bo, come and Reh, see; therefore, what we attain, what we reach and attain this Reh this see which means attainment, come and see, that is called the Creator. The upper Force, what do I know about it? Only what I attain is what is called the Creator.
32. S. (56:50) What is the highest degree of adherence you can attain in the ten?
R. The full force of the Creator, what is meant for our attainment, that is how it is.
33. S. (57:17) It says in the excerpt: “and examine it because we can not appreciate the high place”. How can you scrutinize what it means, how to go deeper?
R. It is impossible. He tells you that it is impossible to get to such a high place, that there's a limit, there's a boundary of how much we can attain because he writes to us for the time being, who knows what will be after that. As he writes in another place that there is the seventh, eighth, ninth millennium, who knows what happens in such degrees of attainment. For the time being, that is what is before us.
34. S. (58:12) You previously said that the mountain symbolizes all the big will to receive that the Creator created and that the part, the stone, is a part of the will to receive. What is this stone, what does it want to resemble, why would we want to go back to be the whole, to be the will to receive?
R. We want to be as a will to receive which is completely similar to the will to bestow that acquired upon itself a correction of restriction, screen and reflected light and through that it becomes equal to the Creator.
S. The whole confusion happens when I think about equivalence of form and disparity of form that I have from some Creator, the upper force, and then I’m lost here on the way. How can I make this link between the equivalence of form and disparity of form with what you just said about the mountain of the rock and stone.
R. That equivalence of form is the mountain which is still in the disparity of form and that is the stone which is detached from the mountain.
35. S. (59:44) Once I had a friend and he asked me what are you doing in Kabbalah? And I told him him we want to resemble the Creator so he told me, okay, you are a lunatic, you do not know what you're doing and now I have a question: There are conditions for equivalence of form, people don’t understand that you can equalize your form with the Creator, it sounds a little bit crazy so I'm asking you what are the conditions to be in the equivalence of form? It talks a lot about equivalence of form. What is the most important condition to be in equivalence of form?
R. Firstly the Creator is not some beyond, beyond, beyond, beyond force. It’s called come and see. Where we can come and see it. Seeing is the highest level of our attainment, meaning that we can truly gain awareness of Him.
S. Is equivalence of form something constant?
R. Now, coming closer to the Creator means attaining equivalence of form. More and more and more, resembling Him more and more.
S. When one attains the equivalence of form is that something constant or does it come and go?
R. It comes, disappears and renews and increases.
S. What is the reason for that?
R. It depends on our vessel.
S. What do you mean it depends on our vessels?
R. Let's say that you suddenly changed, this thing happened and accordingly you either come closer or become more remote from the Creator.
S. Why am I asking this? Because yesterday at noon we were talking about Rabbi Shimon that was suddenly called Shimon from the market after he almost attained everything, why does that happen suddenly?
R. He lost the entire ladder of degrees.
S. How can such a thing happen?
R. I do not know but according to what we read this is what happened.
S. It could also happen to us?
R. You have nothing to lose, what are you worried about?
S. That is my question, If we will already attain it…
R. Then I will tell you how to protect that.
36. S. (01:02:17) Outside of my own body is part of my soul and a part of my soul is expressed in my body but in my personal interpretation, through my body it is important to attain equivalence of form with the Creator. The question is: This riddle, or this something that is unknown inside me is separating between my perception and the way I perceive bestowal?
R. The question again in one sentence.
S. If I am in the speaking level with a point in the heart but also I am a certain soul or spirit that is carrying a body and so I perceive that my goal is to attain equivalence of form with the Creator and detach myself from the body, is that only my imagination? What I'm asking is: is this the place where I have to correct is from where I am and where the soul is?
R. Yes, the single answer is yes.
37. S. (01:05:00) Can we say that the Creator is the same as the soul of Adam HaRishon but the desire that’s there and the parts developed to a maximum?
R. I do not understand you. I do not understand you. The soul of Adam HaRishon is already a part that is completely cut off from the Creator and which belongs to the created being which did not exist before the Creator decided to create the creation, that is all; therefore, about Adam HaRishon or the soul ofAdam HaRishon or however you call it, we can discuss that only after the Creator decided to create the creation and to correct it and bring it to all kinds of such events.
S. But the sources state that the third state is like the first state but there we connect after all the desires have reached their maximum, there was a shattering and then we connect again like the first state which is the soul of Adam HaRishon.
R. I do not understand what you are saying. I do not understand.
38. S. (01:06:50) When the friends in the ten want to work on equivalence of form and return to the Creator they have to work on the intention between them. Now, since they do not know what the intention in order to receive is because they do not have the opposite intention to bestow, where do they start with?
R. That I, as if, want to bestow to each other.
S. What do you mean as if?
R. As much as they understand.
S. But with respect to what? To bring coffee to each other? To bring the Creator to each other? or what?
R. Yes.
S. Coffee or Creator?
R. To do everything that they can execute that appears to them to be mutual bestowal.
S. How does that work? They need to hope or what?
R. It is according to the desire of the heart. If there's no desire of the heart so they should at least be corporeal actions because they too demand effort and effort corrects the person as well.
39. S. (01:08:07) It is not clear how in this whole process if the separation grows how does the need to reconnect it appear? He becomes more distant and less felt that there is this thing called connection or connection to the upper force.
R. Right, that is what happens on one hand and on the other hand the upper force that they had above also remains with them below and as much as there is a difference between corporeal actions and the inner force which remains in them so that difference, that gap starts working on them from a certain state, from a certain degree and then they can feel that they need to change. That is called the point in the heart that awakens in a person.
S. So what is this difference between some people, meaning everybody who's here in the lesson, that some people get that gap and some people don’t get the feeling of this gap?
R. Right, that depends on the root of the soul in the system of Adam HaRishon for each and everyone of them.
S. Is this a matter of time until they start feeling the gap?
R. Yes, it depends on what degree or you can say in which generation they awaken.
S. And a person has nothing to do with it, either it awakens in him or you just have to wait in line without knowing anything?
R. Yes.
S. It sounds a little cruel.
R. No, it is not so aggressive. It is how we are managed from the foundation of the point in each one of us. I was born in this century, in this generation and you too and there are those who were born 2,000 years ago and those that will be born let's say in 1,000 years and each one of us needs to care about his individual correction which causes with all of his forces the correction of the connection of everyone.
S. And those that are born 1,000 years from today will have everything that was scrutinized up to that moment ready for them?
R. Yes, that is according to our intellect how we can discuss this, yes.
40. S. (01:10:57) We have to reach this state called come and see. The way I understand see is equivalence of form but what is come?
R. Creator means that you can come and see; meaning to do actions to come closer to come to Him and then you will see. Come and see.
S. Can we say that everyone studying in Bnei Baruch is a “come”, Bo?
R. I cannot say this about everyone but a person who wants to be a human being, he needs to work according to come and see.
