PART 2
Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 3. Histaklut Pnimit. Chapter 5. #1 ( Now we shall explain the Eser Sefirot that emerge one below the other, which are five Partzufim AA .. )
Item 1 “Now we shall explain the Eser Sefirot….” (00:01 - 01:37)
54. S. We are learning that studying TES awakens the light that reforms but in the first part of the lesson when we were speaking about happiness, we also said the sensation of the light will bring happiness, how during TES should we invite this happiness to really feel because just to learn and read we don't always feel happiness?
R. I understand that this doesn't always evoke happiness, some people love learning some don't really like, but we are not looking at the study as gaining knowledge we are looking at it as a means, if I hear or read about spiritual actions, by that I awaken upon me an illumination from it, Upper light. That is why this is called a result of the study and it is not the wise who learns, maybe I don't understand anything from my study. It may even be that it is opposite that the more I read the more I'm integrated in the study, I don't really understand what it's about, but I want to reach it, I want to attain it. As a result of that I awaken even more Upper light upon me from the one who knows, meaning there is a person who knows and understands and feels, there were those who shouted let's study TES, they are clogging your brain by getting knowledge from TES.
Maybe if they wouldn't want to learn so much but that they would want to attain an Upper force, the force of connection for correction then it would be desirable. This is why I here there is a problem how do you relate to the study, I don't like studying, I've never learned anything, I don't care about the TES, I don't care about what I'm studying, it's all about spiritual things in the spiritual world which I don't have any connection to. I don't understand a word, not identifying with the light and Kli, direct, reflected, I don't know what this is all about. These are all discernments that are in me but in a way that they are concealed from me, they have to be revealed from within me not from the air, from within me, this is where they are supposed to be revealed. I can't yet identify them or see them but as a result of me wanting to reveal them well then I read about them and the more that I read about them I start, to have my tendency to understand it. Just like suppose you are thrown to some tribe in some country somewhere and you don't know anything about their language at all, they talk and you, inside, are like a deaf person. Like a mute, you can't hear them, you can't speak with them and then still you start bit by bit to understand their language to feel their language, why? Because you have a connection with them, we have a connection with the spiritual world and by our efforts to be in it, to get to know it this is why and how we draw the surrounding light upon us it doesn't go through our brains at all, our intellect.
55. S. (06:24) When he says that in every Partzuf we need three discernments is that in our mind, should we feel this when we study?
R. When you study it should be in your emotion, you're not supposed to understand it or feel it and you have nothing from it except for wanting to receive the force of bestowal, we're talking about actions of bestowal. I don't have the force of bestow so how can I understand this? All I want is one thing for these forces of bestowal to be revealed in me and out of them when I have them, when they appear in me, when they are realized in me I will understand what it is about.
S. Now I only understand it in my brain and hardly.
R. You're not supposed to understand it in your intellect, you need to be drawn to reveal it in your emotion as your brain has nothing to do with spirituality.
S. This is why Baal HaSulam was angry at that group when it came to Jerusalem and he saw them study TES, what did they actually do?
R. They studied with their intellects, with their brain.
S. With their brains, just that?
R. Yes, just like that you have many people sitting in writing many additions to TES, without actually being in that level, that height of TES. That's the way it is.
S. Yes we see it, there are all kinds of studies of TES which other people study.
R. Yes, even interpretations of the Zohar.
S. Why did they do it?
R. The main thing for them is to show that they are not learning according to Baal HaSulam himself because according to Baal HaSulam, they get an intention directly to the Creator and not other places.
S. To attain it in the heart?
R. Yes, besides that you need nothing, only the force of bestowal, love of others, love your friend as yourself is the greatest rule in Torah.
56. S. (09:15) How to open our hearts during the study?
R. I don't know, talk to your friends, however I understand that now when you are studying a very big Upper light is concealed, it is hidden and it can very quickly do many things to you, reveal the Creator, reveal the friends, the spiritual worlds within the connection between you and it is all dependent upon the Upper light at now illuminates upon us.
Item 2 “The Ohr Hozer that extends from the Zivug de Hakaa….” (10:00 - 11:38)
57. S. Does it help us to advance into more than what I feel now, does that let the Creator give us more feeling?
R. What you should want is that this study here even if you don't understand the words or what it is about exactly because you are under this degree, what can you do about it, surely you don't yet understand, but hearing it, you want it to affect you and correct you and that is enough to always be in a deficiency. Let's say it this way you're very hungry and in your place you identify the scent of food, you really feel from somewhere there is a smell coming of food and you are really hungry, this is what you want to have a deficiency like that. Now where is it and how do I reach it?
58. S. (13:13) I hear you saying to attain TES in our hearts that you need some smell to yearn for what does it mean to attain it in the heart?
R. Heart means desire, I want through the study of TES to make my heart discover such a degree of desire for spirituality that I don't care about anything but just to reach that, to be in bestowal to everyone to be in bestowal to the Creator and all of humanity, to be in bestowal that is all I want.
59. S. (14:05) What is amazing is that he says the reflecting light descends and expands the vessel to ten Sefirot, what does this mean?
R. Reflected light expands the vessels the more I am in the reflected light I expand my vessel, yes of course, what do you mean what I get from above? I don't know what that is but to the extent that I raise Ohr Hozer, reflected light, for myself by that I imprint the Upper light in me and then I start feeling it. Everything depends upon the Ohr Hozer, reflected light, without the reflected light I am in the world of Ein Sof but who knows or who feels the world of Ein Sof? To the extent I have this light I discover some portion of the world of Ein Sof and that is my portion.
S. He's saying it's reflected so how does it expand the vessel?
R. By bestowing to the Creator from my behalf to the Creator to the extent I try to be in the mutual connection to Him, “I to my beloved and my beloved to me”.
S. From my annulment?
R. Not only annulment beyond annulment, it is bestowal.
S. Is it an option to do this in the group in the 10?
R. Of course it is in the 10, without the 10 how do you get strengthening and guidance? Only through the 10. This is where we have to try to advance, the world is in a free-fall now and we really have to try to rise as much as we can, we have to draw the whole world behind us.
S. So what does it mean to advance through the 10 in this, that the reflected light expands the vessel?
R. The more we connect between us we will reach a state that there is a reflected light between us, reflected light comes when there is a common effort between us with respect to the Creator when we want to bestow to Him, bestowal to Him can only come from a full group. Let us connect at least we can have some kind of right response of our own accord when each one in the 10 doesn't want anything for himself then the 10 is already in the restriction and beyond restriction we want all to bestow to the Creator together. I see that today we are a bit more ready to hear and even respond to that, sometimes really respond in a practical manner inside to that. It is a wonder to feel it, I really see it as a wonder and this is how we build the reflected light. Within the reflected light if it comes to a special, a certain extent, amount, we start discovering the direct light, the Creator. He is in us already.
S. So we don't have to be a wise guy?
R. Don't be a wise guy at all, a wise person is good for this world, for spirituality you don't have to be wise you need to be strong with your desire.
60. S. (17:51) What is a wonder you feel in the tens today?
R. Last week there was actually an advancement, people are becoming more understanding and feeling what it means to come out of oneself and to connect to others in the 10 and out of the 10 we have to be aimed at the Creator so I feel that these words I say there is a response to that accordingly. Emotional response.
S. What causes that, what did we do right that brought us to such an emotional response?
R. I think the fact that during the day you go over the spiritual subject a few times in the article Rabash, going over the morning lesson I think this is especially helpful.
61. S. (18:58) He says that in the force of the screen and coarseness of Malchut he can ascend and the reflected light when it rises this is not ascending?
R. No reflected light doesn't rise because of the coarseness of Malchut, the reflected light comes up because it wants to come back to the Creator just as the Creator is to him this is called reflected, when “I am for my beloved and my beloved is for me”. Both are in the same state, like the Creator looks to the 10 and I identify myself with my 10 already in that same state like the 10 I turn to the Creator. Each of us has to see himself as a representative of the 10, connecting to the 10 and towards the Creator and by that….
S. The force of the screen comes before the reflected light?
R. By that we build the screen, restriction is not for oneself, connection with others is the force of the screen already and out of the connection between us and the Creator is a reflected light. We generate it bit by bit, I feel it happening, the tens are close to realizing that, I am very excited about the fact that it is happening, it is a real salvation from above.
62. S. (20:52) When we read TES in one intention common together what kind of light do we awaken in our desire to awaken the Ohr Makif, surrounding light?
R. We are waking all of the lights because you don't have one light, there is a light of Ein Sof working with respect to us in many manners and even though soon in Part 4 we will learn about 20 different kinds of lights, that is just the way that he has to tell us about these 20. The truth is there are thousands of thousands of different lights acting.
63. S. (21:51) Why is the reflected light only the root of the vessel?
R. It is only the root of the vessels because when it raises, when the created being raises the reflected light to the Creator by that he becomes as someone who awakens the vessel, the true vessel after the restriction is truly the reflected light but it is at the root, later they Upper light will come and there will be a Zivug de Hakaa and a true vessel.
S. Lately you have been saying that the world has to advance because we're in a free-fall what do you mean?
R. The world is now entering a very, very hard time of completely not knowing where they are, what is happening, this helplessness can really lead the world to a third world war, personal problems in the family, between countries, what depends upon us is how much we awaken the lights upon us and out of awakening the lights upon us and the whole world. There is a surrounding light that shines more, then the world knows and feels that there is what to advance to do and not just because there is no choice of going into wars with all kinds of forceful scrutiny that the world will know that there is nothing here about forcefully scrutinizing things.
The scrutiny and discernments have to be in the connection between us, our whole civilization has to take upon itself a form and what form should it take upon itself? We have to explain that to them and in order to explain to them we have to be more connected so the Upper light will dwell in our connection and that light will bestow, you can't do that by your own brains. The way to bestow upon the world is to awaken the Upper light upon it through you, that means to be in Arvut, that is the meaning of being in mutual guarantee when you connect between yourself to pass on the reflected light, the light that reforms to the world, all kinds of lights that gives them the understanding that their life, the way that they are living now it is not the end. There has to be more life, this is where we should advance to.
The world is truly in this upcoming year, it will discover that it is losing vessels, that it used to have tools like reins, money, control, arms, knowledge, connection, all kinds of media, connection instruments and international organizations, everything is falling apart and nothing is left. What is going to happen with the world? They are like children forgotten at home, standing in the middle of the room in an empty apartment crying that there is nothing to do as he has been left alone and there is nothing to do and this is where we have to be, we have to appear here to strengthen and give confidence to explain that this is the beginning of the right and nice development, there is a way and everything is before us. We have to be there. By that we will function as Yashar Kel - directly to the Creator.
64. S. (26:25) You said that man should have a strong will to receive; can he increase this desire?
R. Our will to receive grows only through the light that shines on it and the light that shines on it can be awakened only if we are connected in a group.
S. Can we restrict rather than use, let's say I'm in a 10 and I don't.
R. Do what the Kabbalists write and don't start writing the wisdom of Kabbalah in a new way on your own, you are already confused, only what Rabash writes and not according to your brain that way you will have the shortest path to spirituality.
65. S. (27:45) When we appear to the world, how do you see us changing and really appearing in the right manner to the world?
R. I don't know, we all together need to search for this, every group and every person, whatever he can to publish a simple knowledge that the correction of the world, everybody's individual state and all of us in general only depends on our connection, this is the only thing that we need to say, not Upper worlds or anything. Connection is the final goal and also in each and every state that we go through we need to be drawn to more connection.
66. S. (28:49) I am really debating what the reader reads TES, how to reach the feeling of behind the words, the intention of the writer, how do I feel what he wrote TES?
R. You need to be in the measure of his bestowal and then the Upper light what he receives in a spiritual vessel and he can express it in TES then the Upper light will bestow upon you and you will know what he is talking about, but that depends upon the extent that you are in somewhat of spirituality and equivalence to the writer you have to have a connection to the writer and then you will discover Baal HaSulam that he is right here before you.
67. S. (29:48) In the past week you can say we started the preparation for the congress and we hear that there is a special advancement in our work in the tens, this is what the congress is about is this connected?
R. Maybe it could come from the fact that you have to talk about it, that you started talking about it maybe, but we need to keep going.
S. With what, how should we advance?
R. I don't know, you have to search for it, I don't want to say it but it needs to be very intensive because the congress is once every so often and it is also coming like the congress that we used to have in the past every year. Let us hope that in the next congress we will be able to do it in the same place with everyone having an ability to come to it, that we will fill the congress with our friends from around the world.
68. S. (31:17) When we start identifying ourselves with the ten we begin building a relationship with the Creator from this state, what is this reflected light?
R. There is no big difference relating or the ten or the Creator, on the contrary I have to bring the Creator as close to the ten, to bring the Creator that is in the ten that I will relate to the ten like the Creator. That the Creator is in them behind them and just as Rabash writes about the friends, this is how I have to feel things but through yearning for the Creator, respecting Him, that is how my friends and my eyes should be great. I always thought of the 10 that it's just friends, now I think of the 10 that it is not just friends it is the way that the Creator is appearing before me, the Creator appearing before me. Just understand when I see the friends it is like a mirage, an imaginary world as there is no such thing, it is just a form where I annul at myself in order to enter this frame. Then when I annul, and there I will start discovering the Creator and I will be ready for it. The 10 is for me to adapt myself to the Creator like a buffer, an adapter, a modem. That through that I can connect to the Creator. That is why for your congress you are searching for forms of connection, I think that just as I said this society, this 10 is for me to get in there and through it I enter the Creator.
S. This is what we should do in the congress?
R. I don't know, I'm not taking the congress into such consideration. There are people who are organizing it, I want us now to get there and then in the congress we will already have a higher purpose. It is not important that I am taking all of His plans and making them sacred, I want sacred to be today, that we will have something to be revealed now.
S. This entrance to the 10 …?
R. Yes, we need to annul in there completely that we have nothing but the friends, what does he say - I integrate in them, I have nothing but them and everything is revealed there.
69. S. (35:10) It's been a few days that in the first part of the lesson there is a special feeling as if the whole world is shrinking?
R. The reason you are feeling that the world is shrinking and becoming smaller, it's because the world is shrinking and becoming smaller. There are no systems there that you had before determining things, the world is becoming like a small system that is losing its intensity, each time more and more. Where is our economic system, the technology system, the science, Education, culture, trade, all kinds of stock markets, where is everybody we don't hear about them anymore? The world has calmed down from all of these systems that were built in the 20th century and we will see them that they can't just rise up as they were before. Most people already are starting to understand that we have gone through that state and there is no way back. People thought soon we were going to be able to go back to all of this, no it won't be, it will be a new world. What new world?
First we need to change people, we gradually see how people are changing and in what are they changing? They don't understand where they are. Meaning they are coming out of their routine that was clear and known and now they are in a world that isn't working, they don't understand how to manage the world and it will keep going in this way until another wave will come of pollution, a virus, more and more that will cleanse us from everything that we had before. It will disconnect us from all the orders of life that we had before and we will forget about them, it is still working but in a way of necessities. We don't understand that we ourselves are going down to necessities like the wisdom of Kabbalah says that it has to be. We suddenly see that everything that is happening we are already close to spirituality and people can’t chase all kinds of things, they even forget about them as it disappears from the feelings, from the desires. They are increasingly more, it's not disturbing them from spiritual attainment, they are coming closer and closer to us as they will soon start understanding what we are talking about as they will be so despaired soon they will agree that through the connection a new world can open. A new humanity, a new life, a new system of life that through the connection between us we will reach some kind of state where we find a new life which will already be closer to a spiritual world. Humanity isn't advancing like us, they are advancing in a way that they will start doing it from no choice in this corporeal life, they will start keeping the spiritual laws in a simple way.
Their desire changes and also their ability to realize themselves changes, this is how it is as you will see in 2021 how many professions will disappear, how many businesses will disappear, how many people will find themselves unemployed and still we will need some how to take care of everyone. It'll bring us to a state of connection whether we want it or not and then it turns out that the world is gradually organizing into a new system of trade, of production, everything is going into necessities only. Also according to fashion, education, and culture we will see how everything is getting smaller and suddenly we see that this life that we are restricting ourselves and they are not so bad. Nature is forcing us and we are getting used to it, truthfully the younger generation they are already in this already with all of their media on their phones, they don't need all of these big things like we used to have in the previous century and we will see ourselves supposedly how suddenly a new world showed up. What is a new world? New systems of connections between people, between countries, between nations, between everybody, we will feel more and more how this pandemic that started has connected us to one another. That we are dependent upon one another and there is no place to speak about war here because the question is about how to save the whole world altogether.
Soon when the truth will be revealed we will see how we are all damaged from this virus as it was sent from above to show us how connected and we are dependent upon one another, that we have to work and man will help his friend. Otherwise we won't be saved and that will be the true antivirus, that we will be concerned about the world as a general, we will see to that extent that we can heal ourselves from the virus. There is nothing in it, nothing special upon the older viruses, only one thing, that it is global and integral. Then there is no choice, we must relate to ourselves and to it in such a way, then gradually, gradually we will see if our efforts are together so the virus disappears. That will be the vaccine, that is the right vaccine, the connection between us and in this way we will reveal.
S. Before these great conclusions that humanity will discover I wanted to ask about the child.
R. It will come from inside, it won't be the great scientist, people will start feeling it inside.
S. Before discovering on their own, this the hard way discovering it on their own?
R. Relatively, how many people are dying today?
S. 2 million.
R. You'll see within the next year of 2021 what will be.
S. What about this child that wakes up in the morning discovering that his parents left him and he's alone in the house and he has no system? What are we telling him now when he's crying, how do we comfort him?
R. There is a method how to connect together and clothe ourselves in that connection with good, nice relationships that we can play together and make a beautiful life, except for connection we're not lacking anything. Once we connect, we draw the Upper light upon us and it brings everything, everything it will bring, all fulfillments are in the Upper light, what are we lacking? But just to receive it and in order to receive it we only need connection.
S. How will humanity’s work be different from our work?
R. That they will connect according to the extent they understand and to the extent that we can bestow upon their regular connection, their common connection that when we invite the reflected light upon them, they connect to us, they get the light that reforms and then their will to receive will get a form of in order to bestow to one another on their degree.
S. So that is something we do, we invite it, we are humanity’s babysitter.
R. Of course, so what are we for if not for that, for ourselves we do not exist, the Creator doesn't need us, He needs humanity. He is thinking of all of humanity and we are like the kindergarten teacher.
S. So what is their work?
R. Their work as much as possible is to understand that it depends on us and them, the Creator works in them awakening, frustration, problems and we from ourselves need to give efforts, exertion in order to identify with the Creator to bring the Upper light upon them. A small illumination as we don't need more than that.
S. From their behalf what do we expect if the Creator awakens them by frustration and pain?
R. As much as they connect us, that they connect to us and become that AHP that will push us forward as the mountain of the Lord as GE, called that the nations of the world put Israel on their shoulders and take them to the mountain of the Creator.
S. So their work is to annul towards us?
R. For them to annul towards us, I don't think we need it or they need it, but towards the general goal that their and our mutual goal to reach resemblance to the Creator, to reach the peak of the mountain to the Creator.
S. They need a direct link to us?
R. Yes, they need a direct connection that along with them and it doesn't matter who comes first or afterwards and who's big and who small, obviously just our identification with the Creator moves them. They will understand it, they will.
70. S. (47:49) Today in the US there was the ego controlling...
R. As you said you have to continue your spiritual work you have to strengthen the connection in the tens between you, the time has come, I never talked about 10 so much and the connection between people. I used to teach Pticha, TES yet the time didn't really come for it but for today it is a must that we concentrate on this and in this way we will defeat all of the forces of war. You need to participate in dissemination more than anything else because America is a place that needs dissemination more than everything.
71. S. (49:11) I asked connecting and realizing our connection does humanity come through the exact same path and questions that we came through or in a different way?
R. God forbid, we go through the path as Galgatta Enayim this is why we go through all of the degrees and in the efforts to connect between us, humanity awakens by forces that obligate them to connect in a general way and by the general connection in a corporeal way when they come closer between them in a corporeal way, they can because it is masses, they will be able to understand this from a spiritual form. What is happening here is they will understand us and feel us, they will strengthen themselves by us in order to ascend with us as a state we are bringing them, in that way we will ascend together. We won't have a spiritual ascent if we do it alone, we have to prepare ourselves for a spiritual ascent with all of humanity, otherwise we don't have any chance to do it. That's how it will be, you will see it soon.
72. S. (51:16) The point of connection of the world with us is the point of our explanation about what they should do? What is the first point of contact?
R. That first contact point with the world is through us explaining in all kinds of forms each one of us, in all of our means and all of the channels we have, even small things where people scatter materials that we checked that stand for us for dissemination.
S. Yes we have many websites, we check the materials and there are systems of manpower and management.
R. Good so take materials from there and from there you scatter them all over, the more you scatter it, it will help the whole world to advance.
73. S. (52:42) You said that we should explain to people the solution is in connection to us and in consideration of the state they are in with the virus, people are not allowed to go celebrate which means they can’t connect?
R. The fact they can’t perform their connection is the reason they will listen more why they can’t connect, that is why it is a good thing. We have to respect all the difficulties they find between them. The Creator awakens each and every one the way he is used to. Our life is not just by not being able to celebrate the holidays or festivals, but to be concerned about the connection will help us to turn our life into the party, the festival, we have to explain it, but I don't see as I have nothing really to add.
74. S. (54:28) Lately you have been writing a lot about current events, you speak a lot about it and write a lot about it and I noticed that some friends, for some friends the words you say are not easy, they don't identify with them in a political sense or for other reasons.
R. I don't write about politics, I write about connection.
S. Yes, of course but you relate to current events.
R. Okay.
S. I see that some friends are having a hard time with the angle that you present and it's also hard for them to disseminate this material, for instance on Facebook there are less shares to such posts, less views, what can we say about that?
R. We are speaking about the laws of nature and the forces of nature, you can shut your eyes and not see these things the way they take place, the way they develop but it is not the truth. By this we are not helping humanity to see the state correctly and develop correctly to a secure state, the real good future that is revealing itself. Why should we discover ourselves a year from now instead we say we didn't understand nature in a way of how things are taking place. Why should we, it's better if we listen to what the Kabbalists are saying and to see ourselves able to organize correctly in each and every state that is coming down on us now from the upper Nature. Nature doesn't take into account what people think about political parties, with all kinds of interest there, also scientists, doctors and everything that comes out from the wisdom of humanity.
The Upper force doesn't take that into consideration. He is like a train just going, moving ahead and under that press of development is how it will take us, this is why I don't have anything to say if someone wants to determine a certain political party that they think is a good new thing. So, if they don't want to hear about the general law of Nature or that Nature is the Creator and what has to be and what he's going to do, then they don't have to accept it. They are continuing the path of suffering and it is good to discover afterwards as much as everyone is mistaken, but it won't save us from problems, or troubles, or world wars this is why I have nothing to say. Just keep finding the better way, more correct way to publish our opinions and to emphasize that it is the law of nature that it is not that we are another party or another system of democracy or republicans, we are not turning to them from this world but from an Upper world and there can't be a mistake by this because we are not publishing what we feel like in order to get a reward in this world of money or power. This is why we have no choice but to keep doing it in a way that is better for them to digest. Let us hope we succeed.
