Baal HaSulam - Shamati 77. One's Soul Shall Teach Him

https://kabbalahmedia.info/sources/gPNDiV2G

1. R. (00:55) In other words, there is an obligation here to learn what is written and what other people said, those who have already advanced before us, because by this we create for ourselves, we determine our path and our pace of advancement.

Reader continues: (01:19) “but there is a Torah that is forbidden to disclose…”

2. R. (02:16) There are several things you can add here. Read it again please.

Reader reads again: Baal HaSulam - Shamati 77. One's Soul Shall Teach Him

R. In other words, although they already attained their discernment, the level of a soul. Rav reads & comments: I'll read it, ‘It is written in the Torah one’s soul should teach him.’ Meaning a person learns from within his own soul, from what he feels, from what he attains. He goes and attains more and more, and more. So he says this, ‘It is known that the whole Torah is learned primarily for the needs of the soul.’ So what we need is only in order to increase our vessels to feel the Creator completely. Meaning, why are we learning for those who have already been rewarded with a discernment of a soul. So here there is a question, are we learning for those who have already been rewarded with a discernment of the soul, meaning with a vessel of bestowal. So what else is there to learn? What do I need to learn? That is why Baal HaSulam says, ‘nevertheless they must crave and search words of Torah of others who attained.’ Meaning, what others attained they should take interest in what they attained as well, and add their attainment to themselves. Why? ‘To learn new ways from them.’ Meaning, each one has his own way, and by learning how each of them looks at life, we are talking about people who are not making mistakes, who are already in spirituality, who are incorporated in one or another. So through their incorporation they cause an intensification of their vessel, and by this an intensification of the sensation and revelation of the Creator in his vessels. That's why he says what is for, ‘so they will learn new ways from them which the previous ones invented in their innovations in the Torah.’ In other words, each one has his own Torah, his own progress, advancement, his own ways according to the root of the soul. ‘By this it will be easy for them to advance in the high degrees, meaning that through them they will advance from degree to degree.’ What does it mean ‘through them?’ We need to understand that there is nothing new under the sun. All the innovations we discover, all the new things we discover are only through connections of all the attainments in the states that we are all discovering. I can't just go and discover something alone, I won't find anything here. Precisely by connecting to others, and each one being incorporated with the vessels of the others like cells in the same organism, by this we create new organs, new organisms, new vessels basically for the revelation of the Creator. All of our progress is through connections among us. But he says, ‘there is a Torah that is forbidden to disclose.’ We think that what we reveal to others is good, but he says no. He says, only so far can we reveal. Why? Because each and every soul should make this scrutiny by itself, and not that someone else will make that scrutiny for him. There is this field I have to plow, I have to raise my crops in it, grow my crops in it. That is how we advance. There is personal work that no one can do for you, because you have your own special record, Reshimo, which is called a point in the heart, and you have to work specifically from within that point. Besides this, you may learn from others and connect to others. But your personal work must be right here in this place, and that's why he says that no one can make this scrutiny for you, ‘Hence, before they make the scrutiny themselves, it is forbidden to disclose to them the words of Torah,’ and here there is a problem. I received the articles of ‘Shamati’ from Rabash, and this is something that didn't exist before, anywhere, in a way that it is written this way, never throughout history over thousands of years. Through Baal HaSulam, basically, the Creator revealed to us the relations in spirituality from Lo Lishma [not for Her sake] to Lishma [for Her sake], and so forth. Rabash would not give it to anyone, and I for the 10 years that I was next to him or so, I would look in this notebook that he kept taking whenever we went to all kinds of places like Tiberius for several days a week - we would just leave everyone and go there. I saw how important those articles are, and how innovative they are. I didn't have the intellect, the feeling, to understand their uniqueness that they specifically speak about man's connection to the Creator, and not just about activities or superficial things like in science, the way we see it in several other places. Rabash didn't give it to just anyone these articles. He wouldn't even let the veterans, his own friends, who were with him studying with Baal HaSulam himself, who were his age. So I had this big question, what to do? He gave it to me, and said take it. Should I keep it to myself? But no correct usage will come out of it, because the usage can come only through people's connection, so what should I do? Then, I gave this notebook to be photocopied, I gave it to everyone, and even if they wanted to turn it into books of Shamati, let them make it. Moreover, as long as it circulates in the world, let it be circulated. If Rabash gave it to me, then let it just go out through me and that's it, I will take responsibility for what I did. But in truth there is a problem here. Are we, because of it, causing a descent or ascent to the world? Because look at what is happening with atomic energy for example. Look at how much bad it is doing to the world, but also how much good it can bring to the world. Because in everything you have a plus and minus, you have two opposites, it depends on how we use it. So I made the calculation that, nevertheless, the gain will be greater than the loss on the one hand. On the other hand, who am I to decide? I nevertheless cannot keep such a treasure only to myself, as Baal HaSulam writes about the revelation of the Creator to him, then I decided that whatever happens, I will reveal those things that he writes. That is what he writes in his prophecy, he decided that no matter what, I will reveal it to everyone. That is why I did the same. I am continuing to read article number 77, One's Soul Shall Teach Him. There's a discernment of the Torah that is forbidden to reveal, because each soul should make the scrutiny by itself and not that someone will make this scrutiny for him. That's the problem that I feel in people's complaints, and I remember my own complaint to Rabash as well, ‘say something, explain it, why are you silent?’ It is forbidden to reveal to a person things that pertain to the root of the soul which he has to discover by himself. It is not a science, it is a development of the soul. So he has to come to the deficiency to open up each and every cell in his soul, and find how to tend correctly to every part of the soul, and how then to bring it to the Creator. And not, ‘that someone will make the scrutiny for him.’ ‘Hence, before they make the scrutiny themselves, it is forbidden to disclose to them the words of Torah.’ This is what we feel on ourselves, we reveal something and conceal it. It is written about it, I reveal one portion and I conceal two portions. It is the method, the law in revelation, that you must always maintain the deficiency, and not clog, block a person with the knowledge you pour into him. You have to leave for him a place, a lack for revelation, so he will do it himself. ‘This is why the great ones hide many things. And except for this part, there is great benefit to the souls by what they receive from innovations of the Torah of others. And “One’s soul shall teach him” how and what to receive and to be assisted by the innovations in the Torah of others, and what he himself must innovate. And one Soul shall teach him how and what to receive and to be assisted by the Innovations of the Torah in the Torah of others and what he himself must innovate.’ There is a part that I myself must innovate, and there is a part that I receive that innovation from others.

3. S. (16:57) It seems to me that all of us have the same path which the great ones have prepared for us, but now you said that each one has his own root of the soul, his Torah. What does that mean?

R. Each one has a part of the vessel of Adam HaRishon. After the breaking of that vessel, that part exists in each and every one. That part is called ‘Reshimo,’ a record, because it is still not a part, it is just an impression, an informity of record like a record in a computer. Therefore, each one through his own record has a certain perspective on life, that he has to discover by himself this perspective, he has to build this special approach to life. We are not all the same. Each one has his own root of the soul, no one is similar to another, no one even understands another. That is how distinct we are disconnected from each other, but above it we want to connect into a single system.

4. S. (18:34) I am very concerned that in dissemination I might not be careful and reveal certain things that I shouldn't so I'm looking for a general rule for what is there that we should not disclose in our dissemination?

R. Put it this way first of all clothe in the people you teach. Do what is best for them, don't think about yourself but only what is best for them. Just as when you teach as a teacher in grades 1,2, 3 and then you will not make mistakes. If you think about the benefit of the people you are tending to you will not harm them.

5. S. (19:41) About this deliberation you talked about publicizing the Shamati Articles, if I understand correctly the things that Baal HaSulam said, about being in meals and public events?

R. He said them specifically in conversations that he gave to Rabash.

S. Because it says even in our article?

R. No, if it says that it was said in a meal, in this and that time, then it was said in a meal but if it doesn't say speak about some public event then that's when he said it and it was when he spoke to Rabash in person .

S. To those articles that we are studying, I should relate to them that it was only said to Rabash and we should be careful about publicizing them and this is why he gave it to you in concealment and you gave it to everyone?

R. No, everything that Rabash wrote in the notebook Shamati, I didn't see that anyone wrote them. In general it was forbidden to write. They would just sit and listen and only Rabash as far as I know. After he heard he would go back home and would write these words from what he remembered by heart and look at how he remembered it because sometimes you have several pages and in such a way that it is so exact. This is number one and number two I have other notes that were taken by, say Chaim Limburger and his father and other students of Baal HaSulam. There is nothing there that is anywhere near it. That's why I'm not even going to sort them or organize them. First of all because I think that if I publish them I might even cause confusion. We should have one line and it is certain that by this we will advance.

S. Internally I don't feel or I don't know if anybody else feels a problem in publicizing Shamati, I don't feel there are any secrets there by which a person can corrupt himself so I don't think there are any places or anything we should not study or publicize?

R. No, you're right because I felt how the generations were falling And how the religious part and secular part really have no connection to this inner work that is in Shamati. That's why I let it be circulated in the world published. It was still many years after I received them from Rabash and he passed away. I decided to publish them and I gave the original to be photocopied. I gave it to all the people who wanted it so they would see that it is not me who made all kinds of corrections after going over it. These things had to be published cleanly without touching them in any way.

6. S. (24:24) When for the first time do you obtain what's called man's soul shall teach him?

R. When he receives from above an illumination that begins to organize him on the path. That's with respect to the person we are always in it, the still vegetative animate and people too are all going to reveal the soul, the inner part in them that even the smallest part of creation is not exempted from this process. But if we're speaking about the human level human, meaning you are called man we want to be similar to the Creator so how do we do this, through connection. In the connection we want to create the same conditions that are called Creator, Boreh, come and see.

7. S. (25:36) All those writings, they were written in that way so that we could find the way and the scrutiny between us in order to obtain what we are reading?

R. Yes, that's the main thing. That's the most important that in the connection between us we build the conditions for the revelation of the Creator.

8. S. (26:26) According to the article, on the one hand he writes that one’s soul shall teach him. On the other hand we learn with the help of new innovations and revelations in the Torah that were done by others, how does it go inside?

R. This is how it works, how do you use in your life what you understand in life in all kinds of connections to life that you were given from others through obstacles you use or instruments you use. Music literature everything you have in life was all done so to speak for you and you use them. What do you do to help others, that's the question. But this is how we live. Where each one uses what others do and in this way we superficially correct the world, on the surface. When I use what others did to exist and when I use it to exist by this I am connected to others. It is written about it go live off of each other. This too causes man's correction to bring back all of his broken pieces Adam Rishon, meaning it causes the system of Adam HaRishon to return to its corrected form.

S. What we study as revelation of what others have attained in the Torah that's clear but what does it mean when one’s soul shall teach him?

R. It is that we want to connect to others, to the friends and we are impressed by them and then our soul begins to awaken in us such feelings such states that impel us to act toward approaching connection.

9. S. (29:05) You said it is forbidden to reveal something about the development of one soul so how do I know what should be revealed and what should not be revealed to the friends or to the public?

R. We still don't understand and we have nothing to hide, we just need to see very simply what is best for the person that we want to speak to, to connect with, to relate to others with love and connection with a goodwill this is enough.

10. S. (29:57) Regarding what you said at the beginning of the lesson that we feel our intensity not in the ten but rather in the general vessel of Adam HaRison, of all Bnei Baruch, how does this thing of the one soul come to fruition that will teach us?

R. We still don't know how it operates, but it is still working and you will discover it, how our whole world Kli is in a system that today the world follows and goes according to the correction of that system. We are the innermost part of humanity and the more that we advance, the more that we will pull after us, all of humanity and in this way we will see the way, you will see. We are becoming a very internal and important part in the human system we have to advance, it should give us more power and feeling of responsibility and soon we will see how all of us are working in this special spiritual company, all of us, to raise all of humanity to the level of bestowal, the level of love and connection. It is all ahead of us.

S. Do we need to take into account more work of incorporation and workshops between us in order to perform these renewals in the mutual study of ours?

R. That too, and we should do it and maybe the question is, only when. Either you do it while you meet during the day or during the lesson or in such evenings like we had yesterday. You should be a bit more into it and be more active, independent.

11. S. (32:53) It is written that there is a great benefit for the souls by what they receive in the renewal of the Torah of others. Can we say that how a friend perceives the morning lesson is a renewal of new things in theTorah?

R. It is not new things in the Torah but we should talk about it a little bit, not to confuse people but it is possible to talk about it and it helps in the right dosage.

12. S. (33:34) In order to learn from them new ways what the previous ones came up with from their work, are we learning from the past Kabbalists from their Torah?

R. When each one hears something he understands that according to his style and the root of his soul this is why we should listen to it and process it in a way that we realize this in our shape. It is like in our life when we use what others did and it helps us in our life also, to succeed to some extent in our life more.

13. S. (34:30) What is the root of the soul and what information is in it?

R. The root of the soul is the records from the system of Adam HaRison that each and every one has after this system has been broken and I should work on these records in order to connect them to other records. This is how we connect to everything, ourselves all of us to the system of one corrected and connected Adam. By that the world returns the way it has been and we can be as one man in one heart again.

S. What information is in the root of the soul?

R. Everything, that is my DNA.

14. S. (35:26) How and in what intention did we need to read the sources in order to feel and reveal a new depth behind the familiar words?

R. When we want to go back to that system, the corrected system of Adam HaRishon where we are all connected, we lose our ego, each one of us loses the ego and the main thing is to reach connection. There is nothing more to do for humanity, this is what is in front of us. We will suffer very much from all of these coronas, the germs, problems and wars like Baal HaSulam writes about the third and fourth world war, atomic war, everything is in front of us if we don't advance towards the connection on our own.

15. S. (36:30) One soul shall teach oneself. Is it the ten that will teach me or something else?

R. The soul of a person teaches him means that we have to make all kinds of efforts towards connection in the group, both the small group of the ten and the general group. Yesterday we felt also more connections that we have between us around the earth and we have to develop more systems in order to feel all of us together being in one vessel. I really hope more people will come and participate in this, specifically the ones who are experts in connections. What’s before us is to establish such systems that our connections around the earth will be really felt as Connections in their intensity and emotion.

16. S. (37:51) What is that same spiritual broadcaster that you spoke of?

R. Just to be connected to the ten and then from one ten to the other tens, or to all the tens. The whole vessel of Adam HaRishonis tens that are mutually connected like cells in one body.
