Part 2:
Baal HaSulam. Peace in the World (In Practical Life, the Four Attributes Contradict One Another)
1. R. (00:20) I would just say that it is worthwhile for us to nevertheless see the extent in which this article is important it explains to us what is happening and human society, what is happening when these go up when these go down, and there is division two camps and parties and times in history in which humanity is drawn this way or that way, it is all written here. Please pay attention a little more to what he writes and you will see that these laws of humanity which stem from our nature and we have no choice we cannot run away from this, that is why we either succeed in this or don't succeed and we can see for the time being that we are not successful because every stage that humanity develops it enters again and again and again and all kinds of problems until these problems come to such issues that bring wars, revolutions, and we in our inner war inside the countries or between countries, break all of the previous agreements and rise to a new state but it is from us not having an understanding of how we need to progress advance according to our nature as there is a set of, way that these laws that are egoistic and our will to receive operates and on this nature if we would know these things in advance and this is what the wisdom of Kabbalah enables us to do, because who was the wise the one who has his eyes in his head, meaning that he sees what is born and if we were to know this we would not advance through such great troubles that we have every single moment in humanity.
We’ve been through as you see so many wars and problems at every stage of human development and now we are standing before such situations that it could be one explosion and we can completely annihilate all of civilization. Do you remember what happened in Chernobyl? Now we have a nuclear plant that is six times bigger than Chernobyl and not one but there are several such big nuclear plants there and what are we playing with here? This is in all of this because and if people ask on one hand if you ask people on one side of the war at another side of the war, still each is in his nature and his mindset. What is going on here? Do people not understand that there is some form of development for humanity that is unified and that there are no different opinions and different parties but rather we need to know that according to Nature we have no choice we need to develop specifically in a certain way only and that is it. That is why we bring ourselves to such dangers that today I could truly be like Armageddon and Gog Magog, and we can see that on both sides that there are forces and there's also such a force that says, “either I rule or the whole world can be destroyed,” we hear this, we see this, so altogether we need to know how we are operating in such a situation.
Reading: In Practical Life the Four Attributes Contradict One Another “If the above practical…”
2. R. (10:38) Meaning that maybe we need to deepen this more and read and I think that you will maybe go over this throughout the day and your connections together in other words what is he trying to say? That it cannot be any more method here and moreover the form of Hesed, mercy, and peace, any form of completion that can succeed it cannot succeed on the human level. Meaning to the extent that there can be all good people and they will be this way and that and another according to their characteristics according to their corrections for them to connect, it will not bring them to correction, to completion, they will be unsatisfied, nevertheless. The world will never be able to reach peace as he writes in the life of action, Baal HaSulam is very precise he writes in practice meaning what can be practiced in this world, so these four practical measures are in each and every one of us, of course in different ratios and therefore no matter what humanity will be in clash all the way till wars. And where does this stem? From the continuation. Please.
Continued Reading: (12:34) “Attribute of singularity in the…”
3. R. (15:20) Meaning that here we can see that the egoism that is in the infrastructure of all of our measures, all of our philosophies, all the relations, no matter what, goes and corrupts for us all the beautiful theories and that which we build it will eventually not take place because the ego grows, and demand demands its own.
4. S. (15:52) How will we adapt the acceleration of the process if we are to emulate this point we have come to, that there is None Else Besides Him, what will our focus be so that we will move forward without losing our way?
R. That is what the wisdom of Kabbalah and all the Kabbalists are advising us to do, if we’re connected between us in the ten which is suited to the spiritual forces the ten forces and we yearn for the connection between us, to build the ten as the smallest spiritual structure that can take place even in our world and we try within ten to bring the relations between us from the corporeal egoistic desire and level to the spiritual one, then from our efforts to raise the ten like a flying saucer a little above our ego and a little more, a little more, through our efforts it is also as a prayer. We invite the reforming light from above and it operates on us and connects us and binds us more and more in mutual correct spiritual ways, and this is how we become an actual flying saucer which rises above our ego to spiritual forms, and there we are ready to begin according to our height, can rise to, meaning to rise each above his ego, each in connection with the others with the other friends meaning how can we in such a way exists such that until we start to feel that the Creator is between us, that is the entire method and this method does not contradict any other corporeal or spiritual structure rather it takes into account all of them and arranges them under the control of the upper light. Okay?
5. S. (18:59) How will these four attributes be realized in us in a corrected state according to the wisdom of Kabbalah, what is its inner essence?
R. That corrected state of these four measures is that they all connect and complement and complete one another and what one doesn't have the second and the third and the fourth have all of those four measures will be for us as Yod, Hei, Vav, Hei, and in this way we will advance towards the correct spiritual summary.
6. S. (19:40) What does it mean to keep the singularity over all the contradictions and to ascribe for correction and unity and love?
R. I don't understand what is happening with the speaker today. They are constantly changing the voice.
S. What does it mean to maintain the singularity over all the contradictions?
R. Individuality is revealed because nothing else can be revealed and the more we grow each of us will be more singular, individual, but the singularity has to operate in order to connect to others so the form of its connection with others will be more and more individual but in order to bestow, therefore everyone will be different and in their activation they will all be equal that is what needs to happen.
7. S. (20:54) People who are suffering in the world at the moment say that even the upper force does not help them so what can we do for the sake of our relatives who are now in Ukraine?
R. We need to pray, we need to connect in order to pray correctly so that our prayer will be powerful and let us hope that it will help, it will certainly help, but we have no other way to help, materialistically as well, but beyond the material help as we pray we are also activating those hearts of those who are in Europe and America and then they will help those who are hurt by the war on both sides to make it through this period of time and then restore their lives. I am certain that Europe and America and all together the whole world will help all those who have been harmed by the war to come back as fast as possible to come to the correct and regular good life.
8. S. (22:15) There was a great desire to reach a new degree of Arvut in connection between us to feel the sweet flavor of the Creator. How to give this strong desire the right intention?
R. The correct intention can only be one thing, that love will cover all crimes, we must be in connection and to pray for there to be connection on everyone, on all the people of the world including the two sides that are battling.
9. S. (22:55) Why doesn't the Creator unite us? What is he waiting for? It has been a long time since …
R. He is waiting for us to be ready to unite for us to want the connection so much so that we will obligate him. That’s called “my sons have defeated me” where we obligate him to connect between us.
10. S. (23:25) When we start praying should we be aware that we are standing before a mountain of hatred or that we as women see their men standing before the mountain?
R. No, we are really all incorporated together in a mountain of hatred but we need all together to look at the apex of the mountain where the Creator is just like Mount Sinai is, why is it called Mount Sinai, because it is all built from hatred and the Creator is above it and if we turn to him, demand, want, if we can arrange between us such a force that can rise above the mountain called Moses, Moshe, that he draws this force from above towards us, if we could do so then we will succeed.
11. S. (24:26) How can we make sure that our development will always be not on the destruction, not because of the destruction of our friends but to the contrary?
R. We need to think about this all the time, talk about it, clarify our request and then we will succeed. I think our women that are with us together in this whole campaign and I really hope that we will together reach correction.
12. S. (25:15) What is the extent of the complaining about our friends and the conditions in the group? How will we work regardless of the conditions?
R. If we advance nicely and good you will feel like you want to kill your friends just like with the students of Rabbi Shimon and then they did the corrections, connected between them and nevertheless then they connect and reach correction.
S. We have a prayer together today. The men and the women are meeting at 3 and 7:30, I wanted to ask what you recommend, first of all about the time we decided it was going to be half an hour twice a day.
R. 15 minutes.
S. 15 minutes. That’s enough for the world prayer?
R. It is enough for the world prayer enough for one cry only that it will emerge from the whole heart that is connected to all the hearts. How to do it also in the day and in the evening I would do it once a day if everyone can participate.
S. That is clear, so that is decided. We are going to meet for a common prayer, worldwide prayer a cry out from thee until three fifteen and we are going to send our links and that is it.
R. No I understood from all the rumors that seven thirty is more suitable to connect for everyone.
S. So seven thirty.
R. That is what I heard that it is more convenient for everyone to connect, no?
S. We’re going to have a survey because for women it’s complicated.
R. Yes. Scrutinize everything. Maximum do it twice. That is also good. Let’s leave it twice today.
S. Let’s summarize. Today we are going to meet twice for a world prayer at three until three fifteen and at seven thirty until seven forty-five Israel time.
