Lesson on the Topic of Connecting into One Soul.
1. Rav’s Introduction. (0:12) Yes, this topic is a very important topic which explains to us how we came from one soul which is the soul of Adam HaRishon and there is nothing more than the soul of Adam HaRishon in essence that was created. We need to feel that we are part of it and to return into it in an effort to this one soul of Adam HaRishon as one man with one heart. All in all, that is what we need to do, all the created beings and we have to show everyone this example. So let's do it, we will try.
Reading excerpt #1(01:20) “We have to know that all the souls..” Twice.
2. S. (3:00) What is this division of Adam HaRishon? Is it related to the point in the heart or not yet?
R. All in all we are one soul and what happened is that we feel ourselves that we don't even belong to one soul as if it didn't exist and it doesn't exist now. There is no assembly or connection that we belong to that we are depending on each other and if so in an egotistical way and it's not that we belong to one soul, to one body, to one creator or one something. There is no feeling of connection, mutual desire, one vessel and that's why he says that the first man has seen in the sin of the Tree of Knowledge. He damaged all of these parts and so all of these parts were separated into 600,000 Souls, 600,000 parts, and since then they do not connect, however they reveal more and more and more how much they are opposite and further away from each other. That's it. Nevertheless, we need to discover that we are part of one system, that we are in one body in one desire, belong to one upper force, and have to come back to be as one man with one heart as it is written. That's it.
S. This state of the soul of adding the first does he take exist in parallel to us or was it something that was and now there isn't and we have to come back to it?
R. We have to come back to it. There is no duality here. However the way to us is one desire that was filled in one fulfilling, one connection which is called one soul, therefore we call it the first, the first man and all these things were shattered torn and instead of it there is now six hundred thousand Souls, 600,000 Souls, that are alone, are not connected between them according to their feeling, according to their lack of inclination for connection they are in separation in rejection in mutual hatred and this is called the Adam HaRishon, the first man, after the sin.
3. S. (7:20) It says here that after the Tree of Knowledge the sin of the Tree of Knowledge it broke into 600,000 pieces that means that the light had vanished in between. It also says here it spreads into many lights, the upper brightness spreads and increases so what is that light that is left behind if it goes into many pieces if it is broken?
R. This light was broken and was divided into 600,000 parts, 600,000 parts and more parts, more parts, numbers are not important here and in each and every one of us there is a very small part from Adam HaRishon that this part is sustaining us in life in existence by that we feel our existence, our universe, ourselves. That's what we have left from this system of Adam HaRishon that was broken, shattered.
S. Is there any form of connection left after the sin of the Tree of Knowledge?
R. That's what we feel, what's left is what we feel that there is a sort of great universe as we feel this space that we exist in and in it we are not belonging so to say to one another but we exist as so parts distance from one another. This in essence is the system that was left after the breaking of Adam HaRishon. After the shattering of Adam HaRishon.
4. S. (9:36) What can help us in the Ten to feel that once we were upper brightness together and that all my friends are inseparable, how to feel this?
R. We feel ourselves as if we don't belong to one another and all our lives each one of us is living his life in a separate way, but there are people like us in the Bnei Baruch that suddenly felt how destiny, some sort of a force, pushed them into one system, into one society and they started to feel themselves that they are connected somewhat with some sort of a knowledge together and they have an opportunity to come to know the connection between them, to come to know the force that is connecting them and wants to bring them into closeness and identifying with him, with that force, and in such a way these people that receive these opportunity to connect that's what happens to them.
They come closer to one another and in this closeness there is a guidance from above from the Upper Force, from the Creator and there is also guidance from our behalf that we want to by studying, by reading, by hearing and by doing exercises that we also want to be more connected with each other. Here between us we have to go through the system of connection, that's even though we don't want to do that so much with all sorts of problems along the way on purpose because these are artificial things, because according to the wreckage of Adam HaRishon, the shattering of Adam HaRishon even though these incidents were revealed nevertheless we have to hold on to each other and reveal the connection between us, that means in practice to connect ourselves again to one system.
S. Let's say my daughter, my husband, I feel them very much, I am concerned about them. My heart can ache if something happens to them. How to want to feel the same towards the friend in the Ten?
R. It's a problem we have this evil inclination that we need even though this is how it plays with us we need to reveal it as a disturbance or an interrupting force that we need to escape over and connect between us and then this interrupting force will become the connecting force and we will rise above it in connection between us in order to be as one man with one heart.
5. S. (13:36) What was the sin of the first man, Adam HaRishon?
R. The sin of Adam HaRishon was in that he gave the opportunity for the Upper Force to divide it into pieces because he didn't want to maintain the unity. That's in essence the sin. Therefore, all of our correction is the opposite: it is to return to connection “as one man, with one heart.”
S. Is this sin necessary for us otherwise we wouldn't have any work?
R. Yes this sin was necessary otherwise we wouldn't have anything to do we wouldn't have the opportunity to understand out of the sin, the unification that we need to come to and the attaining of this unity is in essence all of our work.
6. S. (15:12) We study that there is no difference in spirituality. How can it be that the soul of Adam Harishon is shattered and not revealed?
R. We do not discover it because it disappeared from our feeling and now we reveal it in a new feeling. We are in a different feeling where we do not depend on one another we are breaking, shattered.
S. But this state does exist: that we were connected?
R. Yes, this we will learn later. It doesn't help us to understand what to feel and what to say, that this state was left. We need to receive the reality the way it is revealed.
7. S. (16:15) When Bnei Baruch becomes one man in one heart, in fact becomes one of the 600,000 souls, or 600,000 Souls?
R. We will turn into one soul, that around it still exists many more broken souls and we will have to try to unite them together to us also.
8. S. (17:38) This natural feeling of relatives is it in any way close to the feeling of the other spiritual feeling or the feeling of the other in spirituality is a different feeling?
R. It's a completely different feeling because the feeling of the relative is something of the family, it is something that even animals have.
9. S. (18:18) I don't understand where the hatred from the parts come into play, when we read about creation as one desire there is no hatred. Even though we are broken into six hundred thousand parts we still do not know hatred. Where is the pleasure from the bad situation from the other?
R. This is the opposite desire that appears instead of the desire to love, instead of love appears hatred
S. Exactly at the point of breaking, of shattering, this inversion?
R. Yes.
10. S. (19:18) The feeling of connection has broken. Instead of understanding each other and feeling each other we have awakened in us hatred and repulsion and now we try again to work on the connection and the feeling of unification has disappeared from our unity. Is that correct?
R. Yes.
11. S. (20:02) This division into 600,000 souls does that mean that the light has lost its balance?
R. Of course.
12. S. (20:22) The phrase the sin of the breakage, because it was always disturbing to me because we learned that before the breakage we didn't have the awareness, and when the Creator broke us, we didn't have a choice. Is it true?
R. The light decided to break us because this was the goal of creation in order to give the created beings the feeling of how much they are not connected and how much that they by themselves can attain the connection, the unity.
S. Then why was the sin of the created being in what way was he able to decide otherwise?
R. This is how it is called the sin, this is how it is called the sin, even though the Creator has done everything.
13. S. (21:26) That same part of the soul that broke from the general soul does it feel itself as disconnected. Does the soul feel it's a bit complicated for me this matter? We are currently disconnected from the soul along the way?
R. We are in the broken soul and we feel a part of it which is called our life.
S. Okay and when we try to connect and we connect, so in essence the parts of the soul are connecting?
R. Yes.
14. S. (22:17) I heard that Adam HaRishon had sinned because he didn't want the connection. Is the meaning of it that the Creator has done something wrong? Did the Creator make a mistake because the Creator made Adam HaRishon, so how to understand this?
R. The Creator created the first man and then he gave it the conditions for connection to all its parts that the first man could not sustain and he had only a good force that couldn't overcome the bad force because we need two forces in order to sustain the soul. And in such a way the Creator made the first man feel that is missing an inclination of his own for unity and unification between all of his parts. I am purposely not so much broadening the speech about it because I want you by yourself two think about this state that was created because they don't talk about it a lot, Kabbalists, Bnei Baruch, do not talk about it a lot, and then when the first man returns to his initial connection against all the bad forces that are revealed in him then he understands what is separation and against it opposite to each connection.
15. S. (24:49) Can we say that with the shattering the light emerged outside and only the shells, the Klipot were left that turned into the created being in order for the created being to be left with the evil inclination?
R. We will study about this. You are a little bit correct but there is more to learn and be precise.
16. S. (25:36) Why when we want to connect more and to come out to the intention in order to bestow then it becomes harder and there are more interruptions and hardening how can we come out of this state?
R. This is understood this is understood it is natural it is like in every other science or occupation, the more you want to learn the more you want to prosper and succeed there are more obstacles.
S. How is it better to act if there is truly such difficulty? Is it better to overcome it or to invest more effort in connection?
R. Invest more effort and not by yourself, everyone needs to do it.
17. S. (26:45) These parts that were left after the breaking, the shattering of the first man that is now us. Is that our physical body or is it the point in our hearts?
R. Listen if we will study in such a way then we will have to simply go and study the wisdom of Kabbalah in it. We are studying that the soul of Adam HaRishon, the first man was shattered, then we need to connect together into one soul and the beginning of our work in connection, all the souls into one soul, that in essence is the exit from Egypt. That we now need to study about. So let's not enter with your questions, it will be endless from all directions.
From here you can go and ask thousands of your questions. You understand this, it's not that I don't want to answer them, but simply in such a way will not advance. We need to nevertheless, understand where we are, we where one soul that the Creator created after that this soul was shattered into 600,000 parts and in each part is called also one soul, so alone one soul, a lonely soul, once all a separate soul, one soul and all these broken souls that were broken from that soul of Adam HaRishon, are from that one soul, they must connect between them again into one soul. This in essence is our work and we will learn it of course in many many more lessons how to do it and how to connect and what we will achieve, but not that we stand in one spot. Okay, therefore, let's advance forward.
18. S. (29:55) We don't feel one because we are separated, but the Creator is the source of everything, what is the right experience that makes us one and that ..?
R. We do not go backwards, never, we never go back. However, all of our work is connection and until we come again until that structure that we were before the shattering. And then we will feel ourselves that we are connected 620 times more than we were beforehand. The light that will be in us will also be 620 times more than it used to be in the times of Adam HaRishon the first man, and that's it that's what we need to come to.
19. S. (31:36) Each one has the goal of life that he feels it, do we need to speak about it between us?
R. You can speak about it, the goal of life each one has its own so to say, but they are very much alike, all of these goals. We can connect ourselves and in such a way continue and then we will not be between us anything special. Therefore, connect, come closer to each other, hug between each other, so all of you will become as one man in one heart, so each Ten will be as one and then you will start to feel, to discover in the Ten the upper light, that this is in essence the Creator, that's what you need to do.
20. S. (33:03) Is Israel the head for Adam HaRishon and if so do we need to wait for the body to be corrected for the nations to be corrected?
R. No, nations, and no Israel, it doesn't matter who and what we need to understand that this vessel of Adam HaRishon that was divided, was divided into 600,000 parts. When we are now awakened from this broken part that each and every one of us is a broken part, then it turns out that each one of us feels some sort of a part that doesn't belong, so to say to the other parts. Our goal is to feel that we are parts, shattered parts, separated, further away from each other and even opposite to one another. That the Creator purposefully created in us an egotistical desire that we will feel ourselves as separated parts and would want to connect nevertheless between us to be as the system, as one man, and then we will be attracted to it somehow. We will start to feel what it means to be one man, what it means to be a vessel for the Creator to be clothed in us. How the Creator is clothed in us and who is the Creator. We will start to discover, to reveal. We so to say are gluing together parts of the broken vessel, for example a broken cup that we glued together the shattered pieces and according to that inside this cup we can feel this one force that fills this cup.
21. S. (35:53) I just heard that the reason for the shattering was that Adam HaRishon had an evil inclination and it wasn't covered with love? If Adam HaRishon was missing the evil inclination and it was covered with love, does that mean that he was an angel?
R. Yes.
S. So we discover the greatness of the Creator when we discover the evil inclination and cover this evil inclination with love, correct it so to say and then we reveal the greatness of the Creator. Does that mean that Adam HaRishon did not see the greatness of the Creator in him?
R. Adam HaRishon could not see the Creator as we will see it at the end of correction.
S. [Missed Translation at Source]
R. I do not go into such discussions. I do not talk about angels and that is it that is not our work now.
22. S. (37:45) How to use the opportunities in the best way on the brink of this great holiday that we are coming to this Pesach, in order to solve this problem not to miss the opportunity?
R. To connect between you in such a way that each one will help the other and that all of you together will take each other in one hand, in internal connection and help each other to elevate the group upwards more and more towards the Creator, that means towards love and bestowal.
23. S. (38:42) When we will go over the body will go over the will to receive then we will feel and understand that around us is only one soul that constantly helps us to advance?
R. Yes, correct.
24. S. (39:06) This final stage of ours is Adam HaRishon with the screen. Is that as the Creator sees us?
R. We do not speak on the side of the Creator. We only speak on the side of the created beings. How the Creator sees us, as we want to be in front of Him in our general state where we hold on to each other.
25. S. (39:59) When a family shatters and a friend is being taken away from the most important things in his life, what do we do in the Ten?
R. When the family shatters in the Ten? Then you have to do everything you can in order to maintain the wholeness?
S. What does it mean to do whatever we can? Does that mean that we can be involved in it as well?
R. To talk with him and everything that belongs to it, so that we will maintain the family. It is written a lot about it and so to say the breaking of the family is when the Creator himself cries when the family breaks.
26. S. (41:14) In relation to this shattered soul and parts of it went everywhere and now we need to put together the puzzle again. How do I know which part of Adam HaRishon I belong to? Is it in my Ten and does the Creator organize it or do we have anything to do with it?
R. Where I am, there I need to be and add my strength, my forces to the wholeness, to bring the vessel to be whole again, that's all
Reading Excerpt #2 (42:14) “It is said that there are 600,000 Souls..” Twice.
27. S. (44:57) What is the difference between souls and sparks?
R. It's the same, it's the same part. It's simply how they say it because there are so many parts of the shattered soul.
28. S. (45:51) In our world in order to love more we need to do more in externality. In spirituality what does it mean to connect more and more with the Ten? What actions are there here?
R. Anti-egotistical against the self and so forth.
S. That is in each and every desire that is awakened?
R. Yes.
29. S. (46:35) The part of the soul that the person receives, is it permanent or can it be changed during his corporeal life?
R. It constantly changes, it constantly changes.
30. S. (46:54) It is written in the excerpts that the division of the bodies into one, what does he mean by that?
R. That each one has a feeling and it can feel all of the souls and even and also the connections between them.
31. S. (47:39) I would like to make it clearer: The Division into 600,000 souls, it is not a quantity but a quality, correct?
R. Well we can't discern it now, we can't scrutinize it now.
32. S. (48:00) It is said here that this soul can be found in each and every one of the sons of Israel. Do we need to reach this revelation?
R. Yes.
33. S. (48:26) In continuation to this concept that it is all in us all of the souls, so in essence our inclusion with one another we awaken these parts and in such a way we turn back into a whole?
R. Yes.
34. S. (48:43) From the excerpt it turns out that the only thing that stands in our way is our body in order for us to feel ourselves as one soul. Do we need to ask at this point to put our body to death?
R. That means our ego.
S. Yes, our egoistical body?
R. Yes but it is the same thing that as if we are still connecting ourselves together the result is in essence the same thing.
35. S. (49:28) If I have an egoistic thought and I have so many of them but I can swallow it back to myself until I put out good things, is it a good action, should I continue with it?
R. Well in essence yes, in essence yes, start with this.
36. S. (49:58) How does the greatness of the Creator help us to correct the shattering and come back to the one soul?
R. All of that the Upper Light does.
37. S. (50:26) To join the broken parts we must use the attracting force of the Creator, so to be with him because he's the one who operates us?
R. Yes, we ask the Creator for pulling forces or attracting forces so that we will be able to activate them and in such a way come closer to each other.
Reading Excerpt #3. (51:30) “There is no more than one soul..”
38. S. (52:44) Is our correction individual in the connection towards the friends or is it done together in order for us to be able to correct ourselves?
R. It is not very simple, it is a complicated question you have asked. Our correction to the extent that it feels that it only happens to us. We are spread out over all of the souls and therefore, I correct my small part, by that I am correcting the inclusion of my small part with all of the souls and therefore you cannot say that the person here corrects only one thing. However, it corrects the entire creation but on a small scale which is being included with creation. And it corrects more and more and at the same time other correct small parts and they are also included in that person and by that it is called one will help his friend. I in him and him in me, and by that we all correct everyone and in such a way we all come to be “as one man, with one heart.”
S. When we want to do this work in the Ten can we say that all that happens, all the disturbances that come to each friend, it is important to put it in our center so that we can all feel the Ten as one. The Ten needs to do this work?
R. Very true, you are correct and in general you are very smart.
39. S. (55:57) According to what we read now I am asking a question that may not be very good but does each one of us have 600,000 souls?
R. Yes, each one is included from 600,000 souls and there is a bigger and bigger division that means 600,000 souls and each one of these souls is divided into 600,000 and another 600,000 and so forth.
S. And that means that we are all Adam HaRishon?
R. Each and everyone and everyone else who is connected, is like Adam HaRishon. It is not according to the numbers but it is according to the intensity of the feeling, it's according to the unity. We will later on feel it more, understand it more.
40. S. (56:39) Let's say our organization, Bnei Baruch, is trying to connect into one soul but on the other hand, to raise the importance of our work. Let's say tomorrow, everybody stops coming to the lesson, so what, the world would come to a disaster, we are now balancing everything?
R. My dear, I think that in the world there is an Owner, a Landlord who is making sure besides you are made that the world will come to correction.
S. But we need to feel as if we have no way out in order for it to work on?
R. You can feel it yes, you can feel that the whole world is depending on your shoulders that's how it is said, that is certain. Each one needs to feel that the correction of the world is depending on him. There are many letters, wise, good letters from Kabbalists and Bnei Baruch about this topic.
41. S. (58:16) I have noticed that depending on the topic that we study I have different friends that are awakened in different manners and there is this impression that certain people have certain sensitivities to different topics? My question: in order for not the same friends to ask these questions do we need to somehow support those who are specifically more related to a certain topic in order to ask the question?
R. Well of course that it is good, that people are asking questions and there are people who know to ask these questions, that the question will interest more and more people, which means it is more actual or current. And the other thing is that a group who asks a question needs to be in a special state, for example the Kiev group or the African Ten. All these groups that are characterizing special things but in general I am interested in each and everyone of you. You all understand that my aspiration is to give you as much as possible and to feel you as much as possible. So I am hugging all of you and I will meet you tomorrow. All the best, a lot of success, be well.
