Part 3:

Baal HaSulam. A Handmaid Who Is Heir to Her Mistress (Woe if I Tell).

Reading (00:25) “Woe If I Tell”

1. R. (01:07) That means that throughout history from the Torah, they stole all kinds of materials that belong to the Torah, the actions that belong to the vessels they stole from us all kinds of parts, and they are saying that it belongs to them to their Torah, and we actually remain with nothing.

Reading (01:57) “The Reason for the Concealment in Kabbalah” Twice

2. R. (04:58) That is what happens to us, that is what happened to us when we concealed Kabbalah from the masses because still it comes to them in all kinds of forms indirectly through all kind of other wisdoms and religions that are foreign, and they think that it belongs to them and not to us. That is why we lose twofold. Also, when they do not ascribe it to the wisdom of Kabbalah they relate it to some alien wisdom and in this way, we distance ourselves from the truth.

3. S. (05:53) What is the practical law that is mentioned here?

R. This is the way it happened in history there is nothing we can do, but he explains that the whole matter that happened in history wasn't for our benefit because by this people use the wisdom of Kabbalah in other different religions and many people on earth think that it belongs to all kinds of different religions, and we that it is ours, we do not know how to use it correctly so we all lose double, also we do not know about our religion and also we do not know that it belongs to foreign religions by mistake.

S. He meant our practical law where he writes and denies our practical law.

R. So what?

S. What does it mean in practical law?

R. That same part of the Torah that we use from day to day.

4. S. (07:43) We say that the Creator is doing and will do all the deeds. Why does the Creator enable all those nations to steal from our holy Torah, and use it in the world this way?

R. He wants to take them around through a turnaround so that they will feel and understand all the religions, and then our religion in order to know what the truth is.

S. Why does it say God forbid if He did this on purpose, and we want to justify him?

R. Yes he does it, but we need to try and pass it to them, the hastening development as much as we can.

S. But he says because of the trifling things that they stole from our vessels we suffer from them even though we receive vessels regarding it, so if he does it in order to bring them closer to him through this detour, then why is there anger here, why are we seeing this as complete heresy?

R. What can you do this is how we learn through the advantage of light through the darkness.

S. Is it good or not good?

R.  There's no choice, it's not good and it’s not bad. In order to bring a person closer to the truth you must take him through the lights.

S. And this is done through stealing of the concepts of the Wisdom of Kabbalah?

R. Yes, yes, or else they couldn't even prepare themselves for correction.

S. But here he presents it as something negative.

R. You'll see he's going to say it in a few more lines.

5. S. (10:15) What is the purpose that people stole the parts of the wisdom of connection and how can we contribute as Bnei Baruch so that the people who took portions of the wisdom will also advance to the connection as we do?

R. We have to draw everybody into the knowledge that comes from the wisdom of Kabbalah on all kinds of different levels. Easily by this, they will understand what belongs to the wisdom of Kabbalah is for everybody and anyone can open it learn it, and accept it and in this way, all of us will reach the final general correction.

6. S. (11:22) With respect to the text, how can we connect it to the gifts that Abraham gave to the sons of the concubines when he sent them to the East? Which created all the teachings of the East.

R. We can connect it together wait and it will be connected. It will all work out.

7. S. (12:17) Why did wars begin when the wisdom of Kabbalah was more open to humanity?

R. It's all in order to speed up the interconnection between all parts of humanity and pass it from one to the other, this knowledge about everyone's connection together.

8. S. (12:58) What made it okay for the wisdom to be revealed now? Aren't the masses still messing up the wisdom?

R. We came to a state where all of humanity understands that our nature is evil and we can't correct ourselves, and we must advance to something true and right, that is why we are willing supposedly to accept the method of the wisdom of Kabbalah as a correction.

9. S. (13:58) You said we have to draw everyone to know the wisdom of Kabbalah on various levels. If I want to give an explanation about anti-Semitism, what is the most important thing to convey in Israel?

R. I don't know that is a completely different topic.

10. S. (14:34) What does it mean when he says it was there among religion, in the writing?

R. The wisdom of religion is in general, what religion discusses about the revelation of the Creator, revelation of the Creator.

11. S. (15:22) To give the Wisdom of Kabbalah to the masses we have to serve it to the will to receive, right?

R. Yes.

S. On the other hand, he says from this came all the bad and the nations of the world are theologists and they know how to present things so that ignorant people accept them, so what is the right way to sell it to the will to receive and what is forbidden to do?

R. You cannot sell the wisdom of Kabbalah to the will to receive never.

S. What is the motivation of women and children, they say it is Lo Lishma, they gain something.

R. I didn't hear.

S. It is written for women, children, and uneducated people explaining in Lo Lishma that they are gaining something here.

R. They just cannot receive in those vessels that weren't corrected in advance.

S. Yes, but in order to bring people into the wisdom you have to explain everything that’s good for the will to receive. Otherwise, people won't listen to you. How can we skip this phase, this stage?

R. From people searching for the truth that even if the truth isn't so pleasant it'll draw them.

S. It is not clear, if a person is the will to receive, what does it mean that it is unpleasant or truth, or appealing?

R. A person is the will to receive, but if he wants to run away from it because he feels the evil in it, it doesn’t work in a direct way.

Reading (17:33) “A Handmaid who is Heir to Her Mistress.” 

12. R. (18:25) Meaning that all the exile that they grab us and do not let us pass on our path?

13. S. (18:35) In a world where everything is so quick and people are impatient, the world is filled with teachings about how to live well. How can we penetrate people's hearts?

R. That is a different question already, that is a question about the correction, and we will talk about it. We will talk about it.

14. S. (19:17) The article invoked a question immediately when I listened to it. What is the secret of the Torah? Is the secret the faith in the Creator and unification with the Creator?

R. The secret of the Torah is adhesion with a Creator.

S. That is what is missing in the dedication that we need to bring to our dissemination to the public?

R. We need to come to it through dissemination. What’s the question?

S. I am just thinking of clarification.

R. On what, what is the question?

S.  The question is, I want to be absolutely certain that what we should be disseminating is the correction of the world because the world we have now has so many wrong teachings, if I look at Africa, for example, there are 2000 religions all to the confusion and we need to come to this point where we bring people closer to the Creator with 2,000 religions and it is a mess, and the only thing I feel is to pray for everything because it is a mess, 2000 religions.

R.  I don't know I don't think we need to get involved in that there is nothing real in there. We need to go into human nature, which is the world to receive, and from the will to receive explain to a person where it is worthwhile to advance forward.

15. S. (21:58) After reading such profound articles you feel like you are even less than a grain of sand in this world. Who are we for the Creator? Are we like something to experiment on, who are people?

R. Man is the son of the Creator, the son of the Creator.

S. I am really troubled what level of questions and answers do you have what questions do you ask in from what do you get answers?

R. I get answers just like the questions from connecting with you, from within you, that is it. I have nothing more than that, and I do not want anything more than that because my role is to escort you on your path to the purpose of creation.

S. Lately there is a very strong feeling of connection between us, is this really so?

R. Everything depends on what you feel, but actually there is no such answer to what really happens. What you feel is what you have. So, until tomorrow stay healthy.
