The Freedom: (00:25) One Law for all the Worlds
1. R. (02:33) Meaning, the whole difference between all created beings is in their vessel: the intensity, the size, and the quality.
Reader continues: (02:46) “Thus I have evidently from a purely….”
2. R. (07:14) So the question is clear: how we keep the freedom of the individual, his uniqueness, from – if you lose something on the way, you bend a person – you force him, you don't let him develop, realize himself. By this we are ruining the whole vessel of Adam HaRishon. How can we make it accepted, felt in a way that everyone can advance good and nicely, and help each other mutually between everyone? That’s why what is happening to us, we need to research very well to what limits we can interfere with one another or help one another. Maybe to help in quotas, you know, whether people want it or not. How do we do it with children and take care of them because we force them, like a master on slaves, that’s sometimes how we relate to children. And then in all kinds of later ages, where can we truly say that up to here, we have an approach towards one another and we don't interfere with the free development of the soul; and beyond this, we are not allowed to touch, no matter what happens. Meaning there are so many degrees and complaints here: this is psychology and all kinds of different forms of relationships in the family and in a country. It is a big issue: how to understand where the actual freedom of choice is. Because around the freedom of choice is where we need to build the right humanity, the right environment, the right country, the right world in order to let everybody give everybody a right expression for their own freedom of choice. That they will be free in a way that will reveal themselves correctly in connection and correction of the world. And that nobody will feel that somebody is forcing him because that is why it is called ‘free choice,’ that he himself needs to choose his choice, in what does he choose, and can a person be in this freedom of choice as we are now only starting to begin to understand this whole system. It is something very, very not simple so we will keep going and we will see.
Subtitle: (10:47) Taking After the Collective
3. S. (15:15) Equivalence of form seems to play a big role in this. Does it mean that the way we relate to our 10 is the same way that nature will relate to us, or vice versa? How does that work?
R. Yes, actually the 10, after somehow receiving the depiction that we can feel how it exists in some borders, so we need to relate to those borders – the way they change – that it is like a code of the Creator in relation to us. That is how He is speaking. We don't yet know how to decipher this code, it is concealed, it is closed. This code towards us, there is a language of the Creator, a spiritual language of how He wants to connect to us; and it is expressed in us in such a way towards us in our senses, in our five senses, this is why if we come closer and connect to the 10, by this, through the 10 we actually start connecting to the Creator. And afterwards we can see the 10 as the intermediate that helps us translate our feelings and thoughts to the Creator and understand what the Creator wants to give to us. And this is all through the 10 which is the instrument that through it we can be in a mutual connection with the Creator. We will reach it and speak about it a lot. There are a lot of things in it but that is the principle.
4. S. (17:36) Baal HaSulam is describing in the article, the undeveloped majority that is developing and then the quantity.
R. Every society has a minority that are developed and you have the masses, the big part of people that are not developed. They are not drawn to it; this is the structure of the pyramid that below you have a big mass of people and above, not a lot. In every science or culture or education, in everything, every other field, you have a pyramid of its own. And when many people are below, they don't create anything, they only do, that is the good case – if they even create something good. And between them there are a lot of disturbers – well, let’s say waste, even though we need this also, we will learn about why it is like this. What can you do, that's the structure of the pyramid of human society. That's why the law: to take after the collective. You can say, “how can that be”? That if we are in a state that is before us as revealed that we can't follow the masses because we are not developed – they don't want anything except for filling their stomach and nothing else, except for food, sex, family, money, honor, knowledge, that’s even less, especially honor and even less knowledge. That’s why what do we have to do here? Why is this law to take after the collective, why is it so obligated? Why do we need to keep this law and in what way and who are the collective? In our groups and in the general BB group or in the whole world. We have to scrutinize this as there's a lot of questions here. It is not for today, we’ll talk about it, these are very important things.
5. S. (20:28) In the connection between us and the network of connection that we are building, we need to open not the Creator but His thoughts and actions with respect to us, right?
R. True.
S. In the revelation, we should not spoil the concealment?
R. You settle with your question and we'll hear it.
6. S. (21:25) How should a 10 pressure the friends, correctly?
R. Try and draw them inward as much as possible and to truly pay attention to it, constantly.
7. S. (21:52) How do we maintain the freedom of the individual within the 10?
R. By us trying to bring the importance of connection to each and every one and leaving them with the opportunity to express their connection in the 10 and with the Creator. The freedom is in revealing the connection between us and revealing the Creator in the connection between us. That is actually what we have to be aimed toward in our freedom of choice.
