Part 2:
Baal HaSulam. “The Shofar of the Messiah: Disclosing Kabbalah is the Creator’s Will”
Reading (00:33) “Indeed it was the Creator's will that it would appear...”
Reading: (01:16) “Indeed to this day this matter caused many ruins in...”
1. R. (01:28) Meaning disclosure before the time they were prepared for it and they couldn't correct anything, it doesn't bring any good it only brings troubles.
2. S. (01:42) Rav there some stories in the Tanakh you teach this to relate to them not as something that actually occurred but something that is spiritual. The story of the Zohar, these are actual things that happened, it really happened that way or it's something higher than that?
R. It depends who's writing on it.
S. Maybe it's in the paper in the fish and then it went from one hand to another hand?
R. Yes, yes, yes there are many things about it and it's likely they are correct. It's found its way to us in a very strange way, we don't understand why the Creator arranged it this way nevertheless it all comes from above, guided from above, so how come the Creator arranged this thing? Where the Book of Zohar which is written by Rabbi Shimon and his students became paper for wrapping fish in the market, how can something be so despicable and dishonorable? Well, we don't understand why things happen in this way, it will be clarified later, and we will see that in any other way the Creator cannot enter between the created beings, he cannot. The opposition is so great that he has to enter through such lowly things, side things and slowly in these different forms He enters.
Reading: (03:41) “However there is no bad without good and therefore ...” Twice.
3. R. (04:56) There are many things here but I'm not going to bring them up because it's not simple to explain these things. How the wisdom of Kabbalah and other knowledge of the Creator of reality of all the world's, His governance, how this is gradually descending into this world and is clothing in this impure egoistic matter and how difficult it is to connect these two opposite forms.
Continuous: (05:47) “Apart, for the simple reason he has swallowed down...”
4. R. (06:28) Throughout history there were many scrutinies and confusions and all sides relative to the revelation of the Creator and the attainment of the Creator and it continues to this day. Although much less than before because today it's not even important to people. So this revelation of the wisdom of Kabbalah has many people engaged in it, second benefit.
Continues: (07:07) “ There is another reason for it, we have proof that there is...”
5. R. (07:41) That's really the foundation of our dissemination all around the world. The more the world will know about what's happening in reality that is governing us and accordingly it will be easier for us to reach more corrected states and spirituality which is the end of our development. Ultimately we don't finish it here on top of this world like all the animals, rather all of us including the still vegetative and animate, we all rise to spiritual degrees in the end. It all depends on how much we make that first step.
S. What does it mean that the nations of the world also will have to go through this process like the Exodus from Egypt?
R. To some extent yes, but quickly, that's the problem. We the first ones through, for us it's difficult it stretches out over years, thousands of years and for them it will be really quickly.
S. What does it mean, what’s this speed? What is the difference besides time?
R. They participate, they join that which we are doing already. Look at the group from all over the world, it's starting its spiritual ascent so we will see how everyone will follow its footsteps and join very quickly on this ascent and then the Creator will be revealed in everyone. We enter eternal complete spiritual life.
Reading (09:59) “Redemption through disclosing Kabbalah to the nations of the world...”
6. R. (10:13) Meaning this is not that the Jewish man himself will reach the Holy Land we're not talking about the corporeal Israel we're talking spirituality, the Creator.
Reading (10:30) “It was not enough that they could leave by themselves...”
7. R. (10:54) From the revelation of the Creator to everyone we will have a desire and the energy and the impulse to reach the holy land a desire Eretz, land is a desire and holy means to bestow.
8. S. (11:15) Can we say that the development of dissemination will speed up the development of the world and also Kabbalah?
R. The disclosure of the wisdom of Kabbalah to all the nations will accelerate the development of all of life.
9. S. (12:03) Here he says that what is the shofar of the Messiah, what is its dissemination, what is that?
R. Yes, this is the shofar he explains it elsewhere as well.
S. Whenever the nation's acquired it by stealing it, how do they steal, what did they steal?
R. They stole theologies.
S. You can't steal secrets?
R. Yes but nevertheless there's something there there's an inner power to some extent it attracts people. It holds them, don't you see it for thousands of years?
S. Yes, red strings and holy water?
R. No, no, religions, faith, beliefs.
Reading: (13:05) “The dissemination of the wisdom of the masses is called the shofar...”
10. S. (13:45) What does it mean to the world and Israel?
R. You do not understand that the Creator is one for everyone, and creation is one complete whole thing. The purpose of creation is also for everyone. Relative to the Creator there is no one more or less, or that one is more important and there's not one that is less important. However there are differences during the time of correction. There are those that come first, and they help those that come later. Ultimately, everyone unites in the form of a sphere. No one is different in essence from the other. Everyone is connected to everyone, just like an integral system. There simply isn't any difference, everyone is included in everyone. That's why these differences are always discussed in relation to the corrections that have to happen gradually.
S. Okay, if I'm a person for the nations of the world so I say okay, Israeli is a little more connected than me and he's the one he's found the wisdom of Kabbalah before I did.
R. In what is he connected? Who's talking about corrections? In their eyes it's not corrections. What is Israel talking about? Even in Israel we have the same division between the nations of the world in Israel and Israel. In Israel and Israel are those who are aimed at the Creator. There are those who are nations of the world in Israel who are not aimed, or at reaching adhesion with the Creator. It turns out that they have entire ideologies.
S. What do the nations of the world do? What do they grasp on to? What knowledge are they holding on to in order for them to advance?
R. For the time being they are not; you haven't offered them any connection to hold on to but later it will be. He is writing about these times.
Continues: (16:15) “His task was said about Eliyahu the prophet ...”
11. R. (16:57) That's also an intimation that he will go to the mountains and blow a great horn, we will get there we will see.
Continues: (17:06) “Disclosing the Kabbalah to All the Nations is a Precondition…”
12. R. (18:10) There is already a voice or a sound that comes from afar that refers to the end of correction.
Continues: (18:27) “Indeed every greatness requires smallness…”
13. R. (19:32) Meaning the revelation, the disclosure of the wisdom of Kabbalah teaching it to the masses in our time is the beginning of redemption and that is why we need to continue with it until we reach the revelation of the Creator to all the created beings.
