Reader (00:17): “Do not be surprised if I mix together the well-being of a particular….”

1. R. (00:59) The problem is that we don't feel this. That we are dependent on one another and to such an extent, that we need to be concerned for the other. To take care of them and otherwise we will take for us what is necessary to exist. That we don't feel so much and that is before us.

Reader continues (01:22): “We have proven above that the total subordination….”

2. R. (05:18) Yes, he writes about it so nicely and smoothly. Almost a hundred years ago. In a way that there is nothing to add. Same thing here. This is what is going on. Even though we feel that we are connected and dependent on one another, to understand this in our brain and to feel it in the heart are two completely different things. How much suffering, troubles and blows do we have to go through in order to feel that? This is how it is. We are connected and dependent on one another. That is still not in our reality.

3. S. (06:04) Baal HaSulam writes here about the development and we also are observing such but some of the countries, they make an effort to be very independent, not dependent on other countries?

R. As much as they want to do it. All of the actions that are supposedly bringing people or countries to separate, to distance themselves from others, it all ends by causing them deterioration and shattering. To them losing their strength. This is not because, let's say Russia who has everything, they have all forms of nature. Yet they are not connected. We will see more and more that if they are not connected, in the right and good connections, meaning not only technology but also according to an inner relationship, in a heartfelt connection, the country won't be able to supply themselves with necessities. We see how these nations suffer.

4. S. (07:50) If maybe to be more precise. As a principle, that is understood. We spoke about this a lot. But in order to advance toward spiritual development, every country in the entire world needs to pass through this lack of desire to be in connection with other countries? Is this specifically what is going to advance them to develop and we can’t avoid this development?

R. Correct.

5. S. (08:36) The act comes before the understanding?

R. Yes.

S. Can you please explain?

R. All actions that we learn from, first comes the action itself. Because it takes place by the laws of nature. From the forces of nature working on us and on our will to receive. Here we are not speaking about the Kabbalists. We are speaking about the development of the world. All of these actions when they take place upon us, they bring us to suffering. From the suffering we can gradually attain what we are supposed to do in order to not suffer. Then on the way when we do all of these actions, we begin to understand that it is not worth it to do these things. Not in order to avoid suffering, but because they are the right actions, because they resemble the law of nature. Our problem is that we don't feel that we are working from within the system of the laws of nature. That we have to keep them because there cannot be any other way, and it is above us. As much as we resist, we will feel worse. Here there can’t be anything else. But that is something we don’t understand. Rather, each time we think we will get wiser from the laws of nature. You see one country, second country, few countries, this way. A few countries that way, a different way. So every time they want to determine the process for themselves. Obviously, eventually the whole process will break, and will end badly for them and for others. That we don't see. This whole web of connections between all the countries and nations. The way that it is working. But that is how it goes. So that is why only disseminating the method of the Wisdom of Kabbalah, that somehow explains the general system of how we are dependent on one another and how we can also be in mutual help towards one another, only that can save us.

6. S. (11:25) The example of the family is felt very well. The example of the world is understood well also but not felt so much. How do we bridge the gap of feeling enslaved to the family and close relatives to that of being enslaved to the whole world?

R. You can either connect by great global suffering. Let's say that if these blows that we are starting to feel now. The temperature, the floods, pandemics. And the blows that will be coming, of hunger and so on. Lack of drinking water in a lot of places. This way we will feel how much nature is against us. From this suffering we will get wiser. Because only by the blows we get a good mind and a good approach. That is what is going on. We must understand eventually that we are in a system. A smart system. Let's say a computerized system. The Thought of Creation is working in it and managing us. Conducting us to reach a state that was predetermined. A final good state in which we are all connected, dependent, and thinking of each other as one family. We will have to learn about it through blows.

S. What is the force of explanation that will bridge the gap between this lack of sensation of dependence? There is an explanation here that Baal HaSulam writes, can this bridge the gap?

R. Of course, why else is Baal HaSulam writing all of his books? All of his students would scatter all over the country in order to try and give out his books and to organize these things in as many places as possible. This was his hope. That by this he can bestow more to the world and sweeten its destiny.

S. So on one hand blows, and explanation on the other hand. Are these the two tools we have or are there more that we can use to bridge the gap?

R. The Creator has only blows. He doesn't have any other way to calm our ego. For us it is by explanation, we will rise to the connection between us and by this we will sweeten the blows and bring ourselves to an understanding, to awareness, and even correct actions in creation.

S. So there is another means here, which is the connection between us, which is beyond just the explanation to the audience, the public?

R. Also the external explanation aims towards connection. Of course.

S. What is the connection between this external explanation and the connection between us?

R. What are we explaining? We are explaining that we are all connected. We are all under the inclusive law of nature that is working on us. We don't have any way to prevent the blows if we don't perform the actions of connection.

S. When we connect how does this concatenate, how does it shorten the sensation of disconnection?

R. People hear. Even though they don't listen in their heart, they are listening with their ears. Gradually our explanations along with a few blows from the Creator, all of these things, start going into the heart. In this way we can succeed with our dissemination.

7. S. (16:30) Does the measure of truth allow us to acquire the perception that the benefit of the individual is equal to the benefit of the common and general?

R. Of course. Yes, exactly. They are connected together. The individuals benefit and the collective benefit to the truth. Because truth is the name of the Creator. When He appears upon all, so we all connect and the Creator reveals Himself in us and we reach the correction. That is already a very exalted state.

8. S. (17:48) Can a country keep its sovereignty? By sovereignty meaning its culture, tradition, economy and its own currency. And at the same time to be connected with other countries?

R. Of course. Like Baal HaSulam writes, that each one can remain in its own religion, in their language, in their mentality. They can't even change this. The main thing is that above it we will determine the law of love and connection. But except for that, each one has freedom of choice in everything except for love that must be above us.

9. S. (18:52) You said that since a person’s heart and mouth are not equal, it turns out that we can reach the state that the heart and mouth will be equal by prayer, is that correct?

R. Yes.

S. How can I help my friends reach this by prayer for them?

R. By prayer, example and thought. Requesting for them.

S. When you say by example, what do you mean? When we are physically together, or..?

R. It doesn't matter what physically you can do. Can you dance before them? Physically means that you are bestowing upon them from your actions in this world. When you go and disseminate the Wisdom of Kabbalah to strangers, even if they won't come in, they won't know about it, because we today are in a state where everybody is suffering. You won't have enough fingers on your hand in order to count the problems and trouble that humanity feels. Temperatures, floods, pandemic, volcanoes and all kinds of things. You will see from this heat what will happen with food and hunger. This is the main thing. Even bread and water won't be enough for the whole world. We are advancing in such a quick way to all kinds of blows that when they all connect together we’ll just see that we’re choking. This is what we need to explain to everybody. That it all depends on the connection between us. Actually, the connection is easy to explain. Because if we do it together, obviously we will find all over the globe all kinds of forces and means and conditions that we can help each other and go through this stage. This negative, crucial state. It is possible to explain this to people. It is not worth waiting until it really happens in practice, let's start doing this now.

S. Is it also true that our dissemination is also dependent on our connection? How much we make an effort and how much we work on the success in connection?

R. Yes.

10. S. (22:19) In our 10 there are people from all sorts of countries. Israel, Spain, South America, and Cuba. We are united above the differences. Can this be an example for humanity of how to connect?

R. Possibly yes. Partially. Because you are all very close to each other. Even though you are called different countries, you can say that it is still the same language and mentality. That is why the world does not really view you as separate and different countries. The world sees you as similar to one another. You can say that it is almost the same nation. Just throughout life it was divided and became a bit different from one another. That is why you cannot be an example that you are connecting. But try everything possible. Obviously in your area, in South America, you can do great work. Which is actually half a billion people that live in one language, close in mentality and it is really good. I felt that a few times that there is a connection between you, and inner connection and understanding.

11. S. (24:34) Today there is a big tendency of globalization. A lot of people feel that they are people of the world. People don't identify with their state or city. Why is that not enough, why do they also need our explanation?

R. I don't understand what you're saying. They want to work together and connect? They want to care for one another? I don't feel it and I don't hear this. That they don’t feel the borders between them, this is how it is egotistically easier for them. More comfortable, not more. We are talking not just about canceling the borders. We are talking about the connection between all of us. That we will begin now, from the blows of nature that are getting closer to and that are sitting on us more and more, in a manner that is more global. We are under these blows of nature. We will feel ourselves belonging to one earth. That this is our county that we are one nation, humanity. That this is the Nation. And so on. This we need.

S. The globalists say this. That the earth is suffering because we were not able to unite. In preventing fires by thinking as a world, but every country was thinking of themselves and in this way the world will crumble. They are saying this. What are we adding to that?

R. We are adding to them the method of connection. According to our method, if we will rise above our ego to the benefit of humanity and its entirety, in this we are drawing upon ourselves absolutely the upper force of nature. This force makes all the changes that are necessary for the good. That’s it. I don't think that there is anything similar to the Method of the Kabbalah to raise man above his private will to receive to the general collective desire.

12. S. (27:25) I want to ask about levels of development. According to the laws of nature where we are advancing towards? That every state will close itself inside itself and the necessary state will be to connect between countries or will countries go and blend with one another into one nation?

R. We are going to be here in a great split between what is in the field and what is desirable. Everyone will understand that the borders and differences need to happen, on one hand. On the other hand, we won't be able to realize the breaking of these borders without breaking our ego.

S. A person living today correctly has to take into consideration all the nations of the world?

R. Yes. He needs to take into consideration all of the citizens in the world, truly everyone. Only in such a way can he cause good to the world and for himself. There is no choice.

S. What is the role of the country if the thinking is becoming global?

R. The countries will be nullified and canceled as there is nothing worse than that, than the isolated nations opposing one another. Definitely, that is the worst possible thing. These egoistic governments. Look what is happening. Look how much each and every one, every government operates for the bad of its own nation and of the world in its entirety. Every government. There is no greater egoistic organization than the government of each and every country.

S. According to their roots, are there nations, division into nations, separate from one another?

R. Yes but it is being nullified. It will be nullified. You see also that nations are beginning to mix up together. The main thing is the governments.

Subtopic (29:52): “In Practical Life, the Four Attributes Contradict One Another”

13. R. (30:03) These four attributes of Truth, Mercy, Justice and Peace are all different, opposing. How do we connect them as one in order to reach the peace of the world?

Reader continues “The above practical difficulties…”

14. R. (36:53) He writes about this very nicely and can convince everyone that you cannot reach peace in the world, you can't. This is how we are built, each one in himself and each one with respect to the others cannot reach balance between us, never. The truth is to begin with, we need to understand that it is arranged as such by the Creator, that we will need Him that we will ultimately desire to reach and draw Him. He created the world, he should correct it and then it will happen, is that clear? So even in all of these tendencies, these four attributes of Truth, Mercy, Justice and Peace it is not worthwhile for us to get into them and to incorporate in them. It is not going to give us anything as we only need to understand what we are truly dependent on. Because to change these qualities we cannot. What we can do in order that these qualities will change and complete one another, in us, not that we are changing them as if we understand what to do inside ourselves but rather that they will change by the same force of Nature, the same law of Nature determined from above. We are yet to talk about this.

15. S. (38:55) What is the connection between the measure of truth of what's mine in mine and yours is yours and the measure of truth of the creator which is the opposite, are there different degrees of truth here?

R. That is according to the two approaches, the egoistic and the altruistic. What's mine is mine and yours is yours you will hear in every court and what's yours is yours and mine is yours, is according to the law of bestowal.

16. S. (39:55) You said everyone has to rise above his individual desire to the common desire. What is this common desire to aim all of humanity towards?

R. The general desire that we will see ourselves truly as ‘one man in one heart’, just like the Upper Providence manages us, that we are one body, a will to receive; that must gradually, in different times but ultimately reach connection between us and to connection with the upper force, the source of the light, of fulfillment. This is actually the process we need to learn and explain to all of humanity. How much humanity may understand that there is a unique form of correction here? Even though we won't really understand or be able to perform anything, nonetheless it will already be tied to the upper system and that is very important, even a little bit.

S. How can we explain this to pass it onward?

R. Baal HaSulam explains but in an easier manner, in smaller portions and relation to what humanity is currently going through with these blows. If you relate these blows, with the explanation of the Kabbalists, you will begin to show them the method of correction and the ability to exit the blows.

17. S. (41:60) Eventually we have to reach the quality of Mercy/Hessed that mine is yours and yours is yours correct?

R. Yes.

18. S. (42:47) It was said that those who search for the building of the world are ready to give up on themselves or are they a coward and naive?

R. Of course, as whoever gives, he gives because he is afraid, he is willing to give everything that he has in order to protect himself. That is how it is written, that everything a person has he will give in order to save himself as that is our nature.

S. What shall we reach?

R. We need to reach a state that we understand, that the good future of the world depends only on connection and then the world will lack nothing. There won't be all of these blows that we feel now or more blows that we are yet to reveal, we have yet to reveal the 10 blows. I don't know how much we are revealing now or how we are counting them. But in the framework of the entire world, more or less, do you understand what we are talking about? I haven't talked about this before so much, but you should understand what it is called, the exiting of Egypt. Just like it was then in Egypt, the blows on the will to receive with the blood, frogs, lice, you know, the 10 blows and then they said enough, we don't want anymore, we run away from Egypt despite that there is all good there but these blows are insufferable. Now when we are in the general common Egypt because we are in the final, end of correction, and then we will all feel the blows, we need to prepare ourselves that these blows are already beginning to appear, this is just the beginning. We are not yet so worried that this can expand with all of its force and might, intensity and in a whole global measure. So we need to explain and keep explaining to all of humanity that they shall have some understanding of why we are suffering and where it is coming from and how we can shorten these blows.

S. Can we say that this fear or cowardness means that the final realization is the fear of the Creator?

R. No, entirely no, the fear of the blows is not called that we are afraid of the Creator, it is not called fear of the Creator, entirely not. The fear of the Creator comes to us from a very high state that I am in awe of the Creator because I raise him as the upper and that is how I hold Him and appreciate Him, not because of a beastly fear that comes on this earth, but because of fear that I won't be able to bestow contentment to Him.

S. So one thing leads to the other?

R. Yes. Meaning from the corporeal blows that come over my beast, I need by dissemination of the wisdom of Kabbalah and by explanation, to reach other blows. But without the corporeal blows I won't pay attention to the explanation of the Kabbalist.

19. S. (47:47) In one paragraph before the end, he wrote that the condition for the peach is that the clever and nimble will be rich and the slackers and naive will be poor. I couldn't understand the relation to peace in the world?

R. He writes actually that the world receives all of these extreme forms. It is enough for us to see even now that this pandemic will pass one by one by one. How many individuals, millions of them will remain with hardly nothing in their pockets.

S. That is clear. He explained the Mercy very nicely, that we have to take care of others, and also the Truth and Justice are clear. But I don't understand his definition of peace?

R. Maybe you think like a socialist or leftist, that if you divide everything equally it will be okay?

S. No, I just don't think it will bring peace, what is the definition of peace?

R. Peace is wholeness / Shalom is Shlemout, it is the name of the Creator that sits upon the created beings. We'll go over this more, you see he is not done as there are more passages and we will go over it again and again, because this article is a very unique article that we will talk about a lot. Because peace in the world is the biggest problem.

S. You said that men need to take all the citizens of the world into consideration, the whole state of the global world and that countries will be canceled. This was really strange to hear because we know when he writes that we don't eradicate anything from nature and we have to keep the unity and turn it into good and complete between things. What does it mean countries will be canceled?

R. It's not saying that the connection will be canceled, it is saying that the borders and limitations will be canceled, that each one will feel itself. Let's say right now with the pandemic, the floods and the fires that we are all dependent on one another, this doesn't connect us above the borders of the countries? Of course it does. In order to stop the pandemic, not like now playing around rather truly in a more serious form, we will see that we have no choice but to connect among ourselves above the borders.

S. That is clear, also that Nature is pushing us into more cooperation that is broader and bigger between countries, is clear too. But I don't understand what it means that all these governments and countries will be annulled. Will we reach a state that there is one big government of the whole world?

R. Why not, just like the Creator is one and we don't need anymore, we too in the world need only one mechanism. Let's say the Sanhedrin, the court of the Kabbalists that once was.

S. What about the individuality of each and every nation?

R. Even now you have in each and every country many groups that are different, so what? It doesn't bother them to exist together. The main thing is that these groups and every country feel that they are connected, that they operate and even serve one another. Why not? I don't understand, what is the ‘benefit of the countries’. Today the connection between the nations are as such that the borders between the countries don't really play much of anything, why do these borders exist? So that the governments will make money off of it, benefit from it. In total what is the benefit and the use of borders? That there are a few people who benefit from it.

S. So we are speaking about a way of management, no more?

R. Yes.

20. S. (54:15) People still don't feel that the benefit of society is their own benefit. How do we, as Bnei Baruch, build ourselves in a way that we can give them this feeling?

R. You need to think, how to talk to people. But of course that today, I think that already most human beings understand that the future of the world depends on the canceling of the borders and the hate between everyone, the nullification of the weapons. Otherwise we are getting close to a World War. Of course nobody wants that, there are such groups that want it but they don't want the war itself rather, what they can benefit from the war. This won't happen.

21. S. (55:45) What is the correct way to use those attributes that exist now in the transition, meaning the transitional period? On one hand it's clear we need to go to a state of canceling borders and so on, but we know that we can't just jump and erase what exists. So how do we use these attributes that are there right now to the ideal state we are striving towards?

R. We will talk about it, it is not simple and I can't speak anymore. Let's leave it for tomorrow.
