Part 2:
Baal HaSulam. The Peace (Clarification of the Excerpt from the Mishnah: “Everything Is in Deposit, and a Fortress Spreads Over All of Life”)
Reading: “The Wheel of Transformation of the Form”
1. R. (03:21) It is said clearly until now, all in all the souls incarnate from one generation to the next, clothing in the bodies of this world and by that they clothe in to the will to receive and by they keep incarnating and eventually they should enter into the end of correction, everyone.
Reading continues: (03:47) “The Wheel of Transformation of the Form”
2. S. (11:40) What does it mean that the creator gives it as collateral?
R. The Creator gave us this world according to our development. The method of correction is being revealed. How can we reach the goal by our participation quicker through our correction? The correction is only by correcting human nature and not around it or anything. On behalf of the Creator, even if you live in the forest or in a cave like thousands of years ago, we need to see how we advance towards the Gmar Tikkun in the most beneficial way. Through the connection between us. All the correction is in the connection between us.
S. I cannot understand how this store is open and everyone can come and take it?
R. You can use this world as much as you want until this world is a response to you, it teaches you how to behave in a more correct way, but that way is called the path of suffering. If you hear, if you deserve to hear, how to behave correctly, then you can perceive from that store. meaning from life, forces that you can advance in a purposeful way. Then that is called, that little book here, that according to the amount you take, you have to give back. You take only in order to bestow contentment to the Creator and in order to correct yourself. If you do that, that's how the world is built, and you help your soul exist and you discover your correction still in this life.
S. What do I pay?
R. With your exertion, with your efforts. To do what you're supposed to do. You participate in the correction of Creation in what you correct yourself because you are that part, the only part that needs correction.
3. S. (15:00) In the end, what's our main resource? Times or the remaining state
R. I don't see a difference between them. There's no time, there are only states that go through us. Inside they give us a sensation of time or a second.
S. What is a shame? Is it something egoistic that I am sitting in and enjoying being ashamed?
R. There could be like that. Shame is the feeling of the will to receive, and it depends on the vessel in which it is revealed. Some people are proud that the ego is revealed in them, and some devour themselves when the ego is revealed and there are some that work with the ego in a way that they fight it. It all depends on the person. The development of the person.
4. S. (16:27) In the text he talks about things that live forever and incarnate. What does it mean living forever, the eternal life?
R. Eternal life is a term. What happens in the will to receive if we correct ourselves in the vessel of bestowal, so we lose the concept of time that only takes place in the vessels of reception and then there is a session that becomes eternal. That's the concept of time that it is felt in the will to receive and what is felt in the will to bestow.
5. S. (17:28) Is it possible to know our debt or to what extent can we reveal our debt to the system?
R. The debt is to turn all the will to receive to us, to be in order to bestow.
S. Yes that is clear. How much do we owe? He is writing about our debt. Can we know how much we owe?
R. No, you can only discover it through the degree you go for as much as you can through your own forces to correct the will to receive what is revealed to you. What is about to be corrected. That's it ,you cannot discover because a person doesn't have vessels to encompass, to grasp his true state, it is impossible.
6. S. (18:36) He writes Rabbi Akiva about this, 'everything is in deposit', meaning that everything that the Creator gives to people he didn't give it to people recklessly. He doesn't give an answer here. What does it mean here?
R. I don't understand your question.
S. The question is, he gave everything, how to do it? How to disseminate it if he doesn't know her here?
R. I didn't see I still don't see what the question is?
S. What does it mean everything is in deposit?
R. That everything is given to people to correct their attitude towards life, towards nature and that everything was given so you can stabilize yourself correctly according to nature.
S. How can this be done? He doesn't answer it here.
R. By the wisdom of Kabbalah. You are shown the world, gradually the world is revealed towards you, that you can establish your relation to that reality?
S. People don't want to hear, that is what I'm saying.
R. That is something else You're asking something completely different. Where is your previous question and where are you now? Why don't people ask? It is none of your business. That is turning to you. How are you correcting yourself?
S. Only myself?
R. Yes, just yourself. You are not in charge of correcting others.
S. So how do we come to disseminate all over the world from this?
R. By that you are correcting yourself.
S. Then what happens when I correct myself?
R. Then you will see the world corrected.
S. That's what it is about?
R. It is not what it is about, it is everything.
S. Concerning the incarnation here. Are there Kabbalists who have completed their personal incarnation? Still he says everyone incarnates and returns how can that be?
R. I don't know. Don't ask me about incarnations for now there is no one to talk to. I am sorry but that is the truth.
7. S. (21:24 ) Incarnation, is it also registered in this notebook?
R. Everything and forever. Don't worry everything is written down.
S. The main purpose if I understand correctly for this Incarnation is to recognize the bad if we don't correct ourselves. What is the benefit if we don't remember what we did in the past?
R. It doesn't matter. Don't be concerned about what was before, be concerned about what you have today. Not even tomorrow or the next day. Today, what is important today.
S. If I understand correctly, we just need to go and realize it? Is all the knowledge of the incarnations in the books irrelevant?
R. Whatever you will reveal in the group, from that you will understand everything. That's it. It will be revealed. Whatever needs to be revealed will be revealed and it's not worth jumping on things that we don't know about, and we just hear all these names. That won't help you.
8. S. (23:07) He says, “the good states bring us goal and bad states push us away from it”. How can a state push humanity away from the goal because everything leads me to the goal eventually?
R. That's right but there is a short way and a long way, and the difference between them is as much as the will to receive is in control. So we can shorten the time it’s in control and then shorten the path and it's in our hands to do and it's good in the eyes of the creation and in the eyes of the Creator because you reach the connection quicker.
9. S. (23:59) Today for the first time before the lesson I felt that it’s hard for me to justify this reality that I don’t want it to exist, but I see that it still exists. It feels like I didn't take enough from the store, and I have so much debt, with all those events in the world. I have more events ahead of me and I don't want to go into this shop. Is this the right calculation toward each one?
R. Whatever is revealed to each and every one is precisely what he needs to correct his soul, that's it. There is no choice but only to accept that this is the way it needs to be. It comes from the root of the soul and as much as incarnations it went through and didn’t correct itself, yet.
S. Is it hard for Kabbalists always, are they more advanced?
R. Obviously it’s more difficult for Kabbalists. if you add awareness, you add pain, yes.
10. S .(25:16) The purpose of creation is to do good to His creations. Does that mean to the extent that I don't enjoy what the Creator gives, this is my unpaid debt?
R. Also, next.
11. S. (25:40) When he relates to the term ‘soul’ in the text, does that relate to all the people or only to the soul of Israel?
R. Everyone.
12. S. (25:55) If there are no new souls in our world then what is the reason for the increasing number of people in the world?
R. Souls are divided because it's difficult for each and every soul to carry and correct its ego.
13. S. (26:18) If every person in this physical Incarnation that we see and call a person, is it always the same part of the soul that is corrected or is it something else in every incarnation?
R. In every incarnation it's something else.
14. S. (26:37) How do we know if we are old souls or new souls?
R. Whether we are new souls or old souls, how can we know? We are always old souls. In our world there are no more new souls.
15. S. (27:09) Is it even possible to come to a state where a person takes from the store only what is good for others and the Creator? How do we come to such states where our actions and thoughts and intentions are only for the sake of the Creator, for the sake of the environment?
R. That depends on the extent that we correct ourselves. Let's correct ourselves so we will use the store correctly. Everything we will receive will be in the way, in the extent that we can aim them in the order to bestow.
16. S. (27:48) How do we take from the shop correctly?
R. If a person only lives in order to advance spiritually, even what he takes for necessities in his life, it doesn’t count as if he took it. The main thing are the intentions to bestow, that he wants to relate to his whole life in such a way.
17. S. (28:22) Is the will to receive that we perceive in our perception of reality as a corporeal body, is it another brick that it was created only for the purpose of creation?
R. No, the corporeal body doesn't even count. We are speaking about our desires as much as we want to fill our desires, that's it, either in order to enjoy or to give joy, that the whole calculation, calculating towards the desire. The body doesn't exist, it’s also a kind of desire that this is the way it looks to us, as if it exists as a body.
Reading continues (29:21 - 33:51) “. . . and the new state lasts just as parts of evil . . .”
18. S. (33:56) Can you explain: where we started reading, he reiterates several times that “the duration of each and every state is a certain time that is sufficient to increase the evil in it to such an extent that the public can no longer bear it”?
R. Yes, this is how we incarnate from state-to-state even through history until the evil is revealed. It was there to begin with, but we didn’t see it, and when we develop in a certain state, we gradually discover that there's a lot of evil and to an extent that we cannot stand it, and then it turns into a new state.
S. So if we look at the war that is going on now, how long should it continue according to the explanation here?
R. How long? Until we reveal all the evil that should be revealed.
S. But what does it mean, though? Because it says the first World War and the second World War there was so much suffering. What does it mean enough?
R. To that extent, they could not reveal more suffering and they couldn’t reveal more suffering, and they couldn’t reveal the corrections for that suffering, that's why it stopped. It's not that you have one war and then after that, the final Correction. It all comes in a gradual way as much as humanity can suffer each and every state until it destroys that certain state, and it reaches the next one. Then also develops that it seems to it that what she attained, it attains it after the previous state, that now it’s good until again a certain amount of evil is revealed of the ego, and that is also destroyed with all kinds of inner wars or more external, and that's how we advance. That's our development all-in-all towards human ego that needs to be revealed and throughout the whole world in a complete way.
S. So what accumulates, not the feeling of suffering but an understanding that the ego is the cause of all the bad? Is this what accumulates?
R. Yes but the reason for it is an egoistic desire that needs to be revealed and we have to discover the suffering of it in order to destroy it and correct it.
19. S. (36:41) Dear friends from the Meal Preparation Department: we want to remind you that we are approaching Purim, and today there will be a festive meal, “Love Will Cover All Crimes”. We are asking you to make time today, to clear up a time from 6:30 for 7:45 Israel time in the evening. This time our event is planned for 1 hour and a quarter. Prepare something to eat, something to drink, if you have a nice cap you can put it on. But mainly prepare your hearts to complete connection above everything and the next preparation will be the end of correction.
