Part 3:
Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 3. Chapter Five. #6 ("Between the phase of spirituality and the phase of the body")
Reading twice (00:28) “Between the spirituality of man….”
1. R. Right there is nothing you here we have learned that the clothing of the lights into the Sefirot.
Reading Item 7 (05:05)
2. R. Yes I don't think we have inner light for this we just have to hear that the true garment is actually from wool, that is why there are still people who buy everything only from wool and that is how they make their clothes. Those who want to be you know glued to what is said literally.
Reading Chapter 6 (07:55)
3. R. Yes, Keter has no letter no sign because Keter is above the created beings he's still above them so there’s something there’s something that represents it, but it is still not seen clearly because there is no Kli there yet and that is why he is saying that, therefore we typically start from counting from Hochma and Keter is referred to as the source.
4. S. (12:25) What is the meaning here in this median phase?
R. There’s still a transition from one phase to another they’re not in contact with one another if we’re talking about Hochma Bina Zeir Anpin Malchut then there's a connection between them but how can it be what kind of connection you have between Sefirot of one Partzuf and the Sefirot of another Partzuf or worlds we’ll have to learn that but that's why we're saying that there are transitions but these transitions are not exactly like the transitions between Sefirot in a single Partzuf.
5. S. (13:16) We say that our desires inside a person are also divided into still vegetative animate, still is food and sex, family, the vegetative is the desire for money is there a median here as well?
R. Median aspect in the person twitch respect to this and that no, here he's talking about such aspects that exists in desires that are in order to bestow and that’s why they always have discernments between the Creator and the created beings what you are saying is only a difference of matter and within matter the transition already resolved from spirituality but it's not like there is new discernment there.
S. Let’s say like corals, are there also corals in men's desires?
R. They are but don't know how to tell you it’s like, what are you trying to say, say it.
S. A degree that includes the degree, the still degree, and the vegetative degree what kind of desire is it?
R. So he tells you that this desire there is a desire called corals which is essentially vegetative but comes from the still and after that you have the dog of the field which is another degree between vegetative and animate and then between animate and speaking is the monkey.
S. Yes, what’s inside of me between the desire for sex and the desire money is there some common median through there?
R. No that’s not how it works there we’re talking about pleasures that you have pleasure from this and pleasure from that and then when you transcend this and that you can compare them and see what's the connection between this and that. Do that calculation.
6. S. (16:04) Why is it important to know that there is a median faith between the phases?
R. Because also in our life we look for what's between this and that.
7. S. (16:22) How to help humanity come into contact with the upper force, how to accelerate it?
R. Show an example and see how much humanity is facing an obstacle and you have to explain to them in a way that’s convenient to them how to rise above the problems.
8. S. (16:46) How to organize ourselves so we will be similar to nature's law of bestowal?
R. Only in connection between us.
9. S. (16:57) How to prevent, preventing humanity from access to fuel and food will bring us closer to the Creator?
R. Because it will compel them to connect that’s what we’re always saying that if we want to make anything better we don't need to look at the situation itself all kinds of things that are happening just connect more and then do you will see how the problem is solved only through connection between us can we solve all our problems, that's why this is what we have to explain to the world to everyone to ourselves and this is what all of the actions now taking place in humanity and in general in all kinds of states and all kinds of countries that is what will necessitate us to only think about connection.
10. S. (18:07) How can we now, when feeling bad, how can we feel the Creator is good who does good, how can we reach that state in our current state?
R. Again; the more you connect you will feel the Creator exists in your connection that you’re it’s revealing him within.
11. S. (18:30) If humanity won’t reveal this single force of nature, the Creator, it won’t reach the good life?
R. It won't be able to do it not just good life in general the necessity to reveal the Creator is embedded in nature's plan and we’re getting closer to it either by troubles and pain or by agreement.
12. S. (18:55) How can we aim ourselves correctly at the truth and not fall under the influence of external society which is very aggressive?
R. That depends on how connected we are if we’re connected then we’re stronger than any external society any external society will be weaker towards us.
13. S. (19:19) Does a person have to go through hell in order to discover heaven?
R. Yes but hell means that we feel that we are burned by shame by our ego and that we must rise above it.
14. S. (19:42) What corrupted our feeling, why did we start to feel hell in place of heaven?
R. When?
S. Today we feel hell as we said in the lesson, how do we get to that state?
R. Because we don't want to connect between us in a gradual way we were pushed and pushed towards connection and we don’t want it so when we discover how much we are in hell and this fire this inconvenience even problems that might appear in the world like Kabbalah explains they can be really horrible problems Kabbalists have written about it that one does not want to be in such a generation this can be that horrible and that will push humanity towards correction. We exist in nature's laws and if there is no if we don't use the good easy opportunity then there will be a harder one.
S. When can we climb a step in our dissemination and make our tens an open virtual environment that others will want to imitate?
R. …….Nothing is preventing you, but do you have anything to show if you think that by more powerful external dissemination you can connect even better go ahead I’m giving you my blessing.
15. S. (21:27) Baal HaSulam wrote in the article that the Creator has only a desire to bestow to do good, but every religion also says that it’s the foundation of every religion. How to explain the difference between us and the others?
R. The explanation is simple any religion is only left with a prayer now we too have prayer but our prayer comes from connection between us and connection with the Creator whereas all religions only have some plea they don't even know exactly to whom and that there’s nothing to discover to reveal therefore for them it’s, we also need to understand that all the religions came from decline of the wisdom of Kabbalah or the descent of the wisdom of Kabbalah into nations and then the nations began to create all sorts of all sorts of change diversions and means that are useful for them in life and they started connecting it to this or that nation to make all kinds of people sacred or angels and all kinds of things the wisdom of Kabbalah only talks about the upper force and how it governs humans in order to lead them towards connection above the ego that He Himself created and therefore there is an oppositeness between religions including Judaism of course and the wisdom of Kabbalah and therefore none of them none of the religions respects the wisdom of Kabbalah they all hate it because it reveals the truth.
16. S. (23:40) How to distinguish joy from correct acts of bestowal and joy to simply calms us down egotistically?
R. A good joy and bad joy needs to be checked based on what it’s from if it's from good deeds of connection or it’s joyfulness from bad deeds of separation and that's all.
17. S. (24:20) How can the absolute good with the Creator give birth to such evil, the ego, that’s opposite from Him?
R. Now that’s a question that we have been through several times yes how from the absolute good you get all of these bad actions all these bad operations we see them through our own ego our broken will to receive in order to receive and that's why it appears that way and therefore from within that will to receive we have complaints to the Creator why doesn't He fulfill us the way we are right now and the Creator as if answers us I first want to correct you and then fulfill you and that is the process that we go through.
18. S. (25:16) If I would say that they hate the wisdom of Kabbalah, so they also say they hate us so how to disseminate correctly in light of that?
R. Of course thanks to the wisdom of Kabbalah that exists in this group that came out of Babylon to disseminate unity light and love in that group that carried out this method of universal connection that group certainly feels hatred resistance rejection from everyone and even if people don't know why they hate them but they still hate that resides in nature's internal force that we come from the will to bestow that has appeared in ancient Babylon headed by Abraham and all of humanity is like the ordinary people all the Babylonians that later scattered in all directions that’s the whole will to receive which is just a plain will to receive and that’s why there is a difference between the people of Israel and peoples of the world that even though the people of Israel is a group that's connected from all the nations of the world and that's why it holds people from all colors and nations and forms, that's on the one hand and on the other hand we had to connect between us and we did achieve it some points some good levels of connection between us but ultimately we couldn’t hold onto that and there was a decline a descent and distancing especially the one two thousand years ago and since then we are completely and totally not even close to the desired state now we’re starting to go back to that state and disseminate to the world the wisdom of Kabbalah which is the wisdom of connection by which we come close to the upper force and that is really the good future for all humanity and let's hope that now it will be heard because we are in the process where humanity will begin to feel how much it lacks the force of connection above all the forces of separation and that we just won't be able to survive on planet earth all of us if we won't begin connecting between us based on the method of Kabbalah there’s no other method all in all the wisdom of Kabbalah is the method of connection for humanity that is divided and broken shattered in a system of Adam HaRishon so that it can once again achieve connection.
19. S. (29:00) Why the Creator doesn't give everyone the feeling if He's good that does good regardless of your state?
R. Because we’re in a broken state what can you take from our state into account you have to just save that patient which is all of the humanity being sick you have to save them from death to a state of recognizing what is called life what do we called heaven what does it mean to live in connection between us and attain eternity and perfection and true fulfillment that we're not even tasting a little bit of what that is.
20. S. (29:49) When I learn in the lesson I feel sparks of heaven but when I look at the world outside I see hell, how to correct the vision of the outside world, outside of Bnei Baruch?
R. We have to understand them and understand us and try to come to as much love as possible to both these and those and out of love get closer to our groups and to external ones and explain to them the method of connection.
21. S. (30:30) Why Bnei Baruch have permission to disseminate the of wisdom of Kabbalah and the others no?
R. Who said they don’t? There is no such question everyone is permitted to do it just check yourself according to the sources, so you don't just disseminate whatever you feel like.
22. S. (30:55) The problem of famine exists already in the world and there are some friends who are in tough rough states, do we need to develop some central assistance or not?
R. I don't know I several times I did want to set up such a mutual aid in terms of food and we even held a storage for food I don't think it was for no reason even though we had to throw things away we didn't know how to how to keep it all in a good way but it’s good that we tried and this time I don't know I am not sure what to do and therefore I was so don't know what to recommend you at home you should have some storage little things that you can have let's stay good for a while but let's hope that we will go through these things through correction and this plague of famine won’t descend on us which means won't descend on all of Bnei Baruch and perhaps all of humanity even though we are beginning to already see some indication of food prices here and there we will talk about that more.
23. S. (32:39) Can humanity understand that connection will solve everything rather than trying to take care of the problem directly?
R. You have to have both because we exist in the world of action so we have to also to do the action but you need to know that it is like you're giving a pill to someone who is sick and you have just give him first aid right now but the disease inside keeps spreading so that patient let's say he needs an actual surgery operation and therefore we have to think both about what is the immediate treatment to the problem and also the future solution and future solution is only connection but until we connect and until we establish our systems and get into them and see results that can take a while and so for that while we have to make sure that we provide say actual food to our friends.
