Baal HaSulam. Peace in the World (Using the Nature of Singularity as a Subject of Evolution in the Collective and in the Individual)

1. R. (00:30) I don't have much to say, we need to continue, it will be great if a little bit of this article will penetrate us. Let’s hope.

Reader “Peace in the World (00:47)

2. R. (02:20) He is speaking of the future, that humanity will go through different stages of correction and reach a state where it understands what is the final state it came to even unbeknownst to it, just like when you grow up from babies to toddlers to kids to youth, all the way up to full-grown humans that they understand something about life. He talks about humanity that undergoes these stages and lets see what kind of stages of adults, grown ups who understand what we are doing, what is happening? So, what is he saying, next…

Reader Continues: (03:15) “Let us return to the…”

3. R. (04:11) Because indeed if we will not answer this question we have a problem with what's happening to us. Read again please.

Reader reads again (04:28) “Let us return to the matter…”

4. R. (04:33) It is clear, how can there be such a big gap between the upper force who is above everything that exists in this world but we are nevertheless a result of it, an outcome of that force at least in this way.

Reader Continues: (05:51) “Indeed there are two sides to the coin…”

5. R. (07:28) Well we discussed it many times, how much we are opposite from the Creator, it is somewhat clear to us; we don't see it quite yet but we need to see both ends but it is felt in us to some extent how obvious that we are from the form of love and bestowal.

Reader Continues: (07:55) “This gives us the solution to our question…”

6. R. (08:30) The opposite, meaning that same form that exists in the Creator, the form of bestowal, connection, abundance that comes from Him is inverted completely to the extreme opposite down to the last detail and that is how it dresses in us. next.

Reader Continues: (08:58) “I'm not saying that the singularity in us will not act in us …”

7. R. (10:14) There's nothing much to add here, it is clear.

Reader Continues: (10:20) “The order of development of the two points is…”

8. R. (13:12) That is what he is aiming for, how can we come even in our times to the form of the last generation, although in several other places he is saying that we are already in the state of the last generation rather we need to realize it in practice. But according to the times, the development that was given to us we are already in these conditions except they came to us from above and we cannot receive them, absorb them and copy them onto ourselves down below.

9. S. (13:58) We learned that there are contradictions between the attributes of just, mercy, and peace and here it is not clear how using the singularity can come to balance and how it will bring peace.

R. These virtues will support one another. We have no problem, no contradiction between them. On the contrary when we come to bestow these virtues work in mutual support, we will learn about it.

10. S. (14:42) These two opposite forms I think you can understand and describe them. What I never get is how does a gradual advancement seem from this corrupted form to the corrected form?

R. Slowly from lightest to the heaviest. These forms become apparent as much as they are not in equivalence with the final form; you feel that they are harming themselves and others and this gives them the strength to rid themselves of the egoistic form.

S. So what will happen to a person in this world when he will start feeling that there is a bit more of the Creator behind reality and want to bestow, what is that gradual?

R. A little bit. It is just like with us, we are a little bit lalive and a little bit dead, so until the end of correction this state is a little bit present.

S. Let us say now in this war, we really feel the revelation of evil in the world. What is the next degree in advancement we could expect in reality?

R. In our state the way we discussed it in the first lesson, there is a real realistic state, the correct state that needs to happen for humanity to recognize the reason for the war; which is the ego that awaken from within our nature and we need to fight it, all of us together and there is no justification to any side, as we see it more more; if you speak to one side it is justified and if you speak to the other side it is also justified. So, who are you with is also another question and there is also a third side, seemingly, and no one is. Just because justice is when we rise above all of these wars, above to the connection between us and then we will understand the correct reason, above reason, above our intellect, above what is happening to us and we will understand and we will see the true state.

S. Friends are always asking what we need to pray for? Maybe we need to pray that humanity, especially the parts suffering will understand and feel more about what's going on?

R. We need not to pray for any of the sides, in truth. Although a person is built in such a way where he wants to embrace one side in this war over the other, we want to pray only for the sake of the upper force, the connection that “who makes peace in heaven, makes peace on us”. Peace from the word Hashlama, wholeness, between us; over us and all the people in the world. This war is an example, it is truly an example of how two nations that are so close, that are connected according to their genetic background and history, how they are embedded in this fundamental hatred that rises and falls, and has finally came to this kind of conflict.

Here we need to see that the Creator is showing us how much we need the force of connection above the separation and we cannot justify anyone, we cannot do anything only ascribe it all to one reason; that is that the Creator wants to reveal the degree of wholeness, Shalom, peace between us and that is what He wants to awaken in us. Look at what a sophisticated way He awakens these things, to the extent that each side will come closer to connection and not to controlling the other but to connection then, eventually it will emerge triumphant.

11. S. (19:53) …No translation…

R. You are correct and thank you for this question. The greatness of this group of Bnei Baruch which is very special in the world which is trying to absorb to it all the people in the world and then raise this group, meaning all of humanity towards the Creator, towards the feeling of the good who does good, connection, eternity, wholeness. This group has to see itself correctly; that's great, exalted, unique. And, as usual we see the gap just like in the rest of the world, how something that is important is found in small quantities; like diamonds and gold, things that are precious and precisely because of that there quantity is smaller, you find less of it in the world. And, we are the same, that is why it is written that “you are the fewest of the nations” that you will not be great but you will be great in power and you are the least of all the people until Gmar Tikkun, end of correction.

Whereas at the end of correction all of the nations of the world will rush to you, meaning the nations of the world will want to come to connection with that group of Yashar El, straight to God, which is us. let's hope that this will happen, let’s talk about it, scrutinize the greatness of our group as much as possible and you cannot go wrong. Both, our group, the destiny that is connected to our group, the Creator that is connected to us, and what we have to do and the uniqueness that we have is that we accept everyone; men and women from all nations of the world and we want only one thing: Connection between us and to the Creator, simple things, that is what we need to get to. This is our ideology, our philosophy, our direction; there's nothing more important than that.

12. S. (23:29) According to the last examples we see that not the coronavirus, not the war really helps Humanity. There are even some people who gain something from it. Shall we pray for…?

R. …We need to pray for neither this nor that because the Creator arranges everything. We have to pray for the connection between everyone, unity of everyone in the way it needs to be in the corrected vessel, where each one completes the other. We shouldn’t pray for the rich to be poor and the poor to be rich and for them to connect and balance each other up in their riches, I don't think we have to do that, we are not instigating revolutions in humanity. We want only one thing: To bring the upper light closer to us, the upper force so it dwells between us and that “it makes peace in its heavens and will make peace on us”. Peace is wholeness, Shlemut, and He should do it, not us and we should pray for only one thing, to be together in one vessel and from that what happened with this vessel, we agree with it and advance.

13. S. (25:20) You said that humanity needs to understand the reason for war, that is the destructive human nature. In the University I took a course in psychology and was surprised that there is a lot of research that proves what Baal HaSulam is writing here on singularity and ego. My question is are people able to hear such things because a person constantly tells himself how good he is and that he is okay? Can we bring people to an understanding that the war is because of the human ego?

R. Of course, if you see that you can reach people in this way and talk to them then do it. You see he also writes in such a way that is clear to a knowledgeable person, you do not need to be above reason in order to understand what he is writing about.

S. This research really proves that humanity didn't really take them and said I understand that human nature is really bad, they just don't want to see it. How can you convince a person?

R. More and more, keep going, take care of them. You know, you are an expert on taking care of kids, so try it. Only in this way.

14. S. (27:00) You recommended that we invite women from external circles to pray with us but there is something very internal we do. In what way do you see it that we invite external women into our circles?

R. I think that in our times, right now during the war, all the pressure will continue, the world doesn't feel that it enters a descent, these freefall where it feels that it is lacking different things, different resources it is ahead of us. But, in this cases women feel it before a men, so even external women who do not have a desire for the revelation of the Creator, nevertheless each woman understands and feels lack; lack of security, lack of stability so if we invite them to pray with us, if they come then it is fine why not. Let them be there, let them know that there are such times where they can enter, hear and see and they won't enter our groups between us, but generally speaking they can be there. I think it will bring people closer. I am talking about women.

S. Let say, such an external woman, what sort of feelings should she leave the prayer meeting with?

R. You will see it. Try and you will see.

Let’s continue “The condition of life in the last generation”.

Reader Continues (29:04) “First everyone must understand …”

15. R. (32:04) If we're talking about our children, our grandchildren, the next generations we understand that the safest thing is if we can build for them a society, the kinds of humanity that exist in the last generation. All the other forms lack any foundation to exist and to give all people a good, calm life.

16. S. (32:45) He says that if they understood the value of peace they will be happy to receive this new conditions of life but before that Baal HaSulam says here: that we're in as fully developed and going through many degrees and all the way up… So, the majority decides if ten righteous people are not enough?

R. Of course the majority does not determine, the egoist determines. Whoever is stronger in his ego grabs the leadership and determines. Who knows it better than you. So, what are you asking about?

S. I’m asking…

R.…In our world, whoever is strong, determined and strong means with his ego.

S. There are so many of us all over the world how can it be that we can't influence the world to get it to stop? There are many of us, how many are we?

R. There are conditions, special conditions that even though you can be a big group you can't influence anything. Why can’t the Chinese affect anything? In order to influence they have to be like all the other countries, strong not in quantity of people but in special forms then you will see that it'll come, It will get the right form. So, you won't look at the Chinese that they're great in quantity, you will see them as the same, China and Taiwan. You won't say that this is stronger than the other because there are things that Taiwanese are stronger than Chinese.

S. When we say that “the righteous decrease and the Creator carries it out” what does it mean? If you decide that you want to change the world, you can't do it?

R. No.

S. Why not?

R. Because I won't go against that. I won't go against the Creator. All in all, as much as I'm righteous, meaning justifies the Creator, creation and some certain percentage of my evil inclination then, by this i subjugate my evil inclination and in everything I can justify the Creator; I am with Him. What I can do is to incorporate my corrections in the upper system and as much as in it. That is called “that I joined the correction”.

S. So, if quantity does not matter, what does matter in order to change the faith?

R. What are you talking about, I only see Hassadim, mercy. Whether it’s covered or visible, it’s all mercy.

S. That’s ok, but I see mothers with babies in Ukraine. You can't ignore it.

R. Correct, it is great trouble but without that you cannot show the egoistic form, what the correction is.

S. Okay, so I don't understand is quantity important or not?

R. I'm not asking you to understand, I understand you can't.

S. Quantity doesn't matter?

R. It does a bit.

S. What is most influential?

R. Most influential is prayer to the upper force.

S. it’s not clear to me, I'm blocked.

R. It is not blocked, we need to reach it. If we won’t reach it, it won't change.

S. Give us a tip what does it mean what do we have to get to? What do we have to come to? How much do we have to get to?

R. We are all, all of us, in all of our forces need to connect between us above our ego and to turn to the Creator, The Good Who Does Good, the great force, the only force of bestowal, that He will bestow upon us and will give us a correction, to all of us; that we will be able in the connection between us to discover Him. Only prayer, a plea for correction that will reach a state that we can absorb Him and feel Him. That is the only thing that can bring us to a state that people won't suffer. Who is guilty that we are not praying? Bnei Baruch.

When you look at all your screens there how people are suffering, millions of people are already in distress, do you understand what your place in this is? As much as you have to pray, as much as you have to ask, as much as you have to suffer, that each one of them is suffering? If you were connected to them together into one body, imagine how much it would be suffering? If all the people that are dying, suffering really in hunger and thirst or freezing, what is happening now with all those that run away from the battlefield? It is women and children whose homes are being destroyed and there is nowhere to go to.

S. It is like the sights of 1946, 1948 like the Nazis, as we're going back in time.

R. It is always like that. Always like that.

S. And, the world is silent.

R. I don't want to talk about the world. This is not what we're talking about, we're speaking about correction. The correction is that we, Bnei Baruch need to feel the suffering more and I do not care who it belongs to, whether Russians or Ukrainians.

S. You say that we have to feel their suffering?

R. If we want to be as one man in one heart, which is the end of correction. We have to understand that we are together, exist in that way because of our ego we don't feel it, so our ego for us is actually the “good angel” that won’t let us feel the suffering of others right? Look what is happening?

S. Do we have to pray to feel the suffering of the others, their suffering?

R. Otherwise how can you pray for that?

S. Nice. I did not think about it.

17. S. (41:26) There is no time to ask because we cannot deny that there are people on among us who is singularity working on the form of the soul to others like those who share see labor with others and before I came to the wisdom of Kabbalah I also wanted to help to the needy and I volunteered to help the others, so what does Baal HaSulam refer to here?

R. The people in the world that supposedly one they love the others, supposedly they give, they scatter their material, money, so why is that not enough? Because what they do they don't know why they're doing it, they're doing it from the desire the Creator awakens in them, it is just working through them but actually it is not called an action of bestowal because the action of bestowal has to go against the desire and not with the desire. When we pray to the Creator to give us the desire to bestow and from the desire to bestow we bestow, but if I am in the desire to bestow to begin with it's like a mother with her baby, why it's not that called bestowal? Why is she not called the righteous? Because it comes from her nature even though we love and respect these qualities it is natural and we need to work above nature.

18. S. (43:24) If we do our work we receive it as a gift?

R. If we do our worth, then obviously all the corrections that we do will go to all of humanity. Yes. Like from Rosh to Guf it will spread. Like in the spiritual Partzuf from Rosh to Guf.

S. About the torments it looks like only the degree of men and those who are capable of suffering are feeling suffering of the animals in them, the rest has not felt, the suffering, that's why the Creator does not torture the animals like that because if we are given to feel it we could probably correct it.

R. Because animals don't suffer as man they don't suffer because of their ego, man suffers because of his ego and the suffering in man is in order to help him to advance to the truth and animals have nowhere to advance.

19. S. (45:05) You said how will you ask if you don't feel the suffering of the public so how can the Kabbalists tolerate such great suffering?

R. According to the person how much he grows, he is given a greater opportunity to suffer because his suffering is accepted in the vessel of bestowal, that it comes from the Creator and for the correction that is why in such a way he suffers and he feels in the suffering torments of love.

S. He feels the suffering, the pain of the public, can the public be in joy?

R. Yes, yes.

20. S. (46:17) Why in the singularity the more we grow up the more we love humanity? In the beginning of the lesson we read about singularity. Why and the nature of singularity the more we grow up we love humanity?

R. It is the development of our vessel. We feel the incorporation with all vessels and that is why we are starting to feel our pain with them.

21. S. (47:06) Are we coming against the will to receive in ourselves but not if we did not in joy but only above the reason is it considered bestowal?

R. If I have incorporated with the others as much as I can and I can discern whether work for the others, that is called an action of bestowal.

22. S. (47:36) What is the form of the last generation?

R. The form of the last generation is that we gather more and more into that vessel of Adam HaRishon, the corrected one and unite all the pieces, all the shattered pieces, that we need to sort them out and organize them and that is work given to us, a bit in this world and we will keep going with it in a way let all in all we will be as one man in one heart. Meaning all our desires all our thoughts, we only work for connection.

23. S. (48:24) Are we mature enough to enter the form of the last generation?

R. We advance towards it to the extent of our exertion.

S. What is the first step expected from us women, the mothers to prepare the conditions for the last generation?

R. I don't know, we talked about it so much, we don't understand these questions we need to try and get closer to gather in our hearts together.

24. S. (49:07) What is the main message to the external audience as women, what feelings women need to be, in what feeling?

R. I find it hard to answer all the women's questions. Also yesterday I felt it but today really, that all these things we talked about a thousand times and it is a sign that you're not scrutinizing it in your meetings. It is as if you're disconnected from the material we study. What questions are supposedly for a person who came here for the first time to Bnei Baruch? I am sorry let's go again to the men and ask questions to the point. I don't know what is going on today.

Reading (50:17) Pain versus pleasure in self reception

25. R. (53:36) He wants to prove that in the connection between us we can reach a state where each one fills all his needs and supposedly for our ego the connection between us, there is profit in it, it is successful, the best. Because none of us as much as he works does not get 20% of what he actually makes or what he produces, that is how the system is built. I remember we also learned this in the University all kinds of faculties and professions, let’s say even a worker ,an engineer and no matter who, that a day he makes $20, $50 it does not matter how much so he has to bring produce of 5 or 10 times more than when he actually makes. That is why there is a big problem here, though we're in an egoistic way we just burned all the profit, the ego that is there between us just burns it, swallows it, processes all of our profit and loses it. It's like having an engine and the entire engine or most of it, works on the forces of collision and resistance that is there and only a small part is beneficial.

That is why it's worth it to use these things, to open them a bit more in our explanation for the general public, that it is not worth while in the rational way to remain an egoist. Because you simply see as much as you have to work a lot and just get a little bit of it and in the end, that too just gets lost and you go into the grave. That is it. That is why I only feel the desire to receive temporarily, randomly that it is the complete lie you have, that is what we see. It happens on purpose on behalf of the Creator so we won’t give the desire to receive anything but only learn from all these cases in the end whether with awareness or without it, as much as we need to reach in order to bestow.

There is a lot to talk about but we're in a different direction, we're not advancing towards in order to bestow from not gaining enough in the will to receive but it is more in order to explain to the general public we want to attain the Creator, that is our purpose.

26. S. (57:44) You said that a person has to feel the sorrow of the public so what prayer should a person have when he feels it?

R. That he wants to bring society to a connection with the Creator, that the Creator will organize them and fill them and help them rise, help them rise to his degree to his level, that is man's prayer for society.

27. S. (58:31) How does the inversion of intention in a certain quality bring one to greater productivity? He says that if we would only use the degree of singularity for ourselves to be strolling through the other we would solve all of our problems.

R. Yes.

S. It is not clear but rather it's not clear how to even imagine the use, let's take an example, a certain quality in a person where one time he is this way, another he's using it the other way, what is the difference in terms of the results?

R. On behalf of the result I cannot say, he says it, truthfully I am not satisfied with this article because he should have opened the book from this, that everything will be clear in the broad explanation because he's actually not turning to Kabbalists here, he's turning to regular people. That is why maybe we will read it one point when there is enough time or place there is in the war, this is something you have an elaborate explanation on. For now on we will be satisfied with what we have here and let's hope it will bring us to some kind of understanding friend. Now I advise you to try, try to speak between you in such a way that you try and open it and if there will be questions we will answer.
