Baal HaSulam. The Love of God and the Love of Man

1.R. Yes we are studying all the writings of Baal HaSulam, we need to go through these articles, there are not many things that he wrote. So, at least what he wrote we need to learn. Please

Reading The Love of God and the Love of Man (00:35)

2. R. (01:13) Meaning despite the fact that everyone heard a thousand times these words, love your friend as yourself but we probably don't understand the internality of these matters. What are we even talking about? What do the people who spoke this way mean?

Reading continues: (01:35) “This is because the word Klal….”

3. R. (02:00) Meaning we need to know the details. Whether we are talking about a great collective in thTorah so what does it mean, this love your friend as yourself as we learn in details and how we connect those together, then from that we talk about and then we will understand the rules, the collective of them all.

Reading continues: (02:25) “If we say the great Klal….”

4. R. (03:13) How could it be that we are talking about this rule which includes all reality, all the universe with the stars, with the creatures, still, vegetative, animal and speaking upon Earth with the relations between us, with all clear rules, laws that the physics, chemistry, biology, zoology, no matter what, how we divided everything with all the laws of nature. How all together can include all of that that exists with the laws that exist, with the form that exists, that they are all included in just one thing, love your friend as yourself. Something so simple, so small, yes. Three words, four words. Love your friend as yourself. That's it. So how can it be that these short sentence, love your friend as yourself first talks about people, probably, right. We see you cannot say these about animals, plants or to the still. Meaning how it is possible that this rule, love your friend as yourself which be also you don't understand or you don't want it and don't make it important and consider it that much. How could it be that this is the great rule in the Torah. What is the great rule in the Torah. The whole system of creation which exist in such a way like a system and the general law of the whole system is love. It is unclear. How can such a thing be in existence that no one even observes. There are many questions.

5. S. (05:34) What does an ‘individual’ mean?

R. All the laws of nature are like small individual details of the rule of that collective, love your friend as yourself, where in that rule of your friend as yourself talks about the face of man which needs to observe this rule and understanding, feeling, attainment so when we talk about this, probably it talks about them and then in this collective, in this rule all still, vegetative and animate will be included. We will see what he explains to us. But the rule, collective comes from the word for” includes them all”. It includes, to begin with, nature including nature in all of reality.

Reading Continues: (06:48) “That what you hate do not do to your friend”

6. R. (07:47) So again he goes and just strengthens this thing. Except for this law of love your friend as yourself there are no other rules in nature, in humanity, in anything you can look at you only see either it takes place or it doesn't take place and on what degrees it does or not and according to that you can see creation.

(

Reading Continues: (08:13) “Now according to the….”

7. R. (08:54) The entire Torah teaches us how to keep this main formula of the existence of the entire reality.

Reading Continues: (09:07) “It is surprising that such a….”

8. R. (09:19) Meaning that when we open the books of the Torah we see that there are all kinds of laws, how to relate to each and everything and love your friend as yourself, there's nothing to explain and there you will find all kind of actions and relations like in a court.

Reading Continues: (09:45) “That what you hate do not do to your friend” continues…

9. R. (09:59) Meaning all the books of the Torah that we can open they speak about relationships between people and man towards nature in a very precise way in rules. But about love there's no sentence about it, nothing. Also, if you could approach some kind of sentence and speak about love, you will see that courts don't know what love is. They cannot work with it. They're unable because it is an undefined concept that's why we have a problem. How to understand, how to keep it, how to attain it. This rule, that according to this rule the entire nature with all these details takes place and it is so it just flows through your fingers from your mind and feeling that it seems to us that it doesn't even exist even though it is the general law of the entire nature and all details specifically connected and exists in order to keep this law of uniting everybody in a mutual way until unconditional love.

10. S. (11:48) What is this rule, love your friend as yourself.?

R. I don't know we will see, I guess that is what we attain when we attain. Before it we can only receive these conditions as they word of our sages, that they pass this on to us and they tell us that we must stand on this and demand an explanation, exercises, how we can reach keeping of this rule.

S. Why is this so elusive from us if this is important to reality?

R. There are so many laws in nature that we can even feel, it is not a question. I have not developed to a sufficient degree that I can feel it. Today I can understand that there is electricity in air, they're all kinds of things and forces that disappear, so I build instruments for them but I guess that love that dwells in all reality, love your friend as yourself, it is a general rule that connects all the reality together, I guess that I do not attain. I do not have the ability to feel it, to measure it but that is a rule. What is the problem?

If it is the rule of the entire reality, until we feel this rule we will always miss out on life. The parts of life or the entire life as we won’t know where we exist or whether we exist correctly or not. What we are preparing for our incarnations or anything that is happening before us, we won’t know without this law, we won’t know it, we won‘t know what is happening with the creation we are in, we don’t have anything but the reality we exist in. That’s a problem, I guess to preach love your friend as yourself is an essential condition to know the world we are in. If we don't want it we will exist as before like the animals and we will live on the animate degree and we are also part of the animate degree, we live and die and live and die, that's it. That's what we have before us. Because before us there is another opportunity as Rabbi Akiva said, we can rise to this law of love your friends as yourself and we can feel all the reality in general and we will understand what to do with it, why it was prepared for us.

11. S. (15:03) It turns out that we have no connection with that world that's outside of us and the others, meaning we seemingly have to discover this other inside of us, first of all, to a certain extent Nefesh, Ruach and then there's some resemblance with what's outside of us.

R. We are in all of reality, nothing has disappeared, the question is as much as this reality is revealed or concealed from us. Like you see on a baby right, he's born, he's taken out of his mother, he starts existing on his own, right? Then what does he know, what does he understand, what does he feel, he exists by the help of the adults, the parents, the world, that's how it is with people. We don't know where we exist and what's happening with us, in order to feel it we need to attain this rule of love your friend as yourself as much as we can in the truest way. Only then we will know where we exist and only then we'll know what laws we have to keep and in which ways, positive, negative and so on, only from knowing reality. That's why the entire wisdom of Kabbalah comes to reveal reality to man and then he will know how to exist in it correctly.

12. S. (17:10) Don't do unto others that which is hated for you, is that the first degree of love of others, the question is that the intention towards the others?

R. Okay.

13. S. (17:35) According to our progress the more we advance, you kind of are going in this big city and you're seeing neon signs, as we advance you seemingly see these neon signs in a clear way but you see that you cannot connect to them. The brain of a scientist, he sees warning signs and you were indifferent.

R. That's not a question, we have to advance and then we'll see in what way really advanced in reality these questions are a lack of contact with the true reality. We first need to know what we're lacking for us to develop ourselves in order to be scientists in the spiritual world and then to know how to research it not with our senses or with our approach that we can get to it. Because it's things that are not, they cannot be grasped in our mind. Whoever learns quantum physics let's say, he knows that you need a few months to disconnect from the perception of our regular world until we start approaching this new form. Gradually it happens in students that they go through these changes.

S. It turns out that all these rules operate like individual trees but we don't see the forest and then we see after that…?

R. Not that these laws are before us but all this confusion is in our head that we're all connected in our head in an egoistic way and it can't, this egoistic system, can't grasp what's outside of us which is an altruistic perception and unified. That's why our brain can't receive, can't absorb or locate the whole world and here we have a problem how we can organize ourselves, program our heads so it can grasp that whole world. That is the wisdom of Kabbalah, how to receive the spiritual world that exists outside of us in a unified manner and not in an analog way, not a discreet way, separated. We can't do it for now, what we have to correct and do is through all kinds of actions that are like on the side, to invite the light that reforms some kind of influence from that spiritual world and the influence will come upon us and program us in a way that we will be able to feel reality in a different way. It won't disturb us from feeling our world the way we feel it now but in addition to this small world, this discreet world, separated world will also be able to grasp the spiritual, integral world. That's the problem, it's not a problem, gradually it will take place.

S. Why is the first thing in the wisdom of Kabbalah love of friends, but in most of the world that talks about that?

R I don't know what it means to love the Creator. It's something that isn't clear and you see what happens, what mess and confusion and hate you get instead of it. Where each one pushes his Creator upon the others. we're not in that. The Creator, that the nations think, what they're imagining for themselves, that's their problem. We don't even want to come close to it.

14. S. (23:29) I wanted to scrutinize these concepts from this verse called your friend or the other?

R. Without a lot of words, close means close on the path that's it.

S. Let's say, I have a ten, a friend got a blow which hurts him and we raise a prayer, but all of creation is broken and it's shattered. That doesn't hurt me so much but how can we expand our desire so we can be able to pray for all of creation?

R. That we will gradually get close to. We need to learn from the ten, we gradually will learn how to see all of reality as a ten and that way we don't go towards separation of thousands and billions of groups in the world, we are connecting everyone into one group.

15. S. (25:01) It is written don't do to others what is hated upon you. We with that intention need to go and learn love a friend as myself in our daily scrutinies we discover and now that the necessity of the friend is my spirituality. Why is it so difficult for us to pray for the necessity of the friend?

R. Because that goes against our will to receive, what is your question I don't understand.

S. So what do we do?

R. What we do is something else, why is one thing. So it's clear to us why, so what do we do, by which action or exercises can I do something that I will be able to join the friends desire, that's the question. By prayer only because to join the friend's desire I have to skip over the barrier between us, the separation between us and the Creator is holding that separation and won't let us connect to one another. He created the shattering, the creation that's outside of Holiness, outside of the true reality and he created it and he is holding it and that's why we have to come to him and demand to annul the barriers, to help us be together. That is why Pharaoh is a posterior of the Creator, it's the same force only it's revealed in an opposite way.

S. To continue with that you said that there is no private individual problems and we discover in the connection between us, in our scrutinies, that there are problems of necessities and still friends are not in the importance of necessary problems but there is a preference that is different.

R. So what is the question? The question is you're not working together, you are not showing one another how to overcome the barriers between you. That is the question, how to overcome that? So don't ask me, just do it.

16. S. (28:02) We see that the whole world is busy wanting to be loved, what does a person really want for others to love and appreciate him or is that completely flawed?

R. A person's expectation, whether he wants it or not, should be that he will have the love of others. That is in general, love your friend as yourself. Now the question is how do I approach it? Can I do it? If I can't, all so true and good that I know the truth that I can do it and I don't want to, so how do I want to, to do something that I don't want to do. How to reach that, so it is possible by the light that reforms that we pray together, we ask together, we demand together from the Creator to shine upon us and give us the force of bestowal and then we'll see as much as we advance to that term. Whether we want it or not or how much but it is all attained by the plea to the Creator that he will do it, I didn't create the evil inclination, he did it. So as it's written, if he knew how to give such a disease, he also knew how to prepare the remedy for it then go to the artist who made me turn Him and he will heal all this problem, he is a doctor of all the sick.

S. You said if we don't want it, we will miss our lives, should we be afraid of missing life?

R. Yes.

S. What is there in life that we are afraid to miss?

R. That you just went through this incarnation and nothing will come out of it except for the suffering that you felt your whole life.

S. How in the ten do we help friends to feel that they are about to miss this Incarnation?

R. We, usually in the ten, discover or we want to discover, the essence or the importance of the goal and that we are missing out of in this life we are speaking about the positive and not the negative. That's why I talk about as much as you are incorporated from the goal, as much as you're connected in the group in order to be closer to the goal and discover the Creator within it, that is the answer to all your questions.

17. S. (31:31) Now is the existing reality, is it correct, the point of view of love of the components of the system?

R. I don't know what today corrected reality, what does it mean today and towards who? Either like a baby who's born or an adult or a wise one who sees all the world or a simple person who doesn't see anything but what he lives in. You can't speak about reality without the person attaining that reality.

18. S. (32:24) How will we be able to rise to this rule in a short way and hy is love so difficult for us?

R. It is completely against our nature, no one can love the others, we just love ourselves. Meaning except for me not loving the others, I also love myself, it has nothing to do with one another. It's like we learn afterwards that there are degrees that bestowing in order to bestow and then receiving in order to bestow, its two parts on the path of correction. That's why we need to understand that to demand love from others, that's impossible even to be neutral from the others, also that we can't do. For those things we have to acquire a screen against the desire and as much of the desire is revealed you need a greater screen to help us not burst through the screen and use the ego on our desires in order to fill ourselves.

19. S. (33:50) The suffering just creates frustration to the Creator, what do we do with that?

R. You still didn't start working, you still didn't start locating that, seeing that everything that comes from the Creator is only for your correction and the correction is in the connection and then instead of problems, trouble, hatred, rejection you'll start feeling nice, pleasant and good states.

S. Does the one who is suffering feel higher?

R. In the suffering does he feel higher, more advanced, maybe but it's still a question that you can't answer. The suffering isn't an indication for advancement, the indication for advancement is the measure of bestowal that is revealed in a person.

20. S. (35:10) Why do we run away and not work with the method of covering with love, why is love missing when we are trying to overcome the ego?

R. We are always lacking forces of connection, all kinds and why are we lacking them, for us to turn to the Creator, either each one or in a more advanced way all of us together but as much as we advance to the Creator we're also going to be lacking more of it and then we'll know how to be inspired and pray to him more.

21. S. (35:55) Are the problems of the world that are being discovered between us in a corporeal level solved only on a spiritual plane?

R. Yes, all our problems that are revealed come from spirituality and eventually go through spiritual worlds and there is nothing in our world that is revealed that doesn't have a spiritual root. That's it, it always comes from there.

22. S. (36:36) What creates the Masach, the screen?

R. The force of coarseness and rejection.

23. S. (36:59) Is bestowal as much a friend adapts oneself to the benefit of the other?

R. Bestowal means that I feel the will to receive of the others and I receive it so it is supposedly my will to receive and feel it that it is supposedly mine, that's called bestowing to the others.

24. S. (37:41) I noticed that my impression from the environment of the ten is less than the environment of this world. How do I strengthen the impression from the environment of the ten and the society?

R. By speaking between you and the group.

Conclusion regarding an upcoming Unity Event…

R. (42:08) It is a simple fact, as much as I learn I can attain and advance spiritually by such actions like the friends told us about, connection, meal, all kinds of gatherings which are very important, not so we can fill up our time or be a bit more happy. It is no less and even more important than participating in the lesson, that's why it's one of the means, the strongest means, the most important means we can do. Let's hope that everyone comes, meaning comes virtually, and try to be in this and we will connect between us as much as we can so that it'll be most effective and beneficial and strong and so on. The rest is on these poor organizers that we see here, so let's hope that they'll know how to organize it and who is ever willing, whoever can add, so please connect to them and help. That's what I can say. I, myself am searching for more and more things like this and expecting them and waiting for them, until they come and give us forces and a feeling, that gentleness that we need in order to advance onword, that's it, so hugs to everyone.
