Part 2:

Baal HaSulam. Disclosing a Portion, Covering Two

Reading Article. (00:08) “There is an idiom among great sages when they...”

1. S. (02:09) What can we learn about the work from revealing a portion concerning two, what can I take from it?

R. If you're going to reveal a portion, you need to be concerned about concealing two.

S. I didn't understand.

R. You know what a portion is?

S. Yes.

R. And two portions?

S. Yes.

R. Know that in the place where you reveal a portion, be ready to hide two portions.

S. What does it mean, that I am humble, what does it mean?

R. We will see through the article as we read it, but it means that the revelation needs to be only in correct things in the correct style, in the correct form for people who are ready and then that revelation will be beneficial for humanity. For people.

S. Is it true to say that concealment itself is a form of revelation?

R. No.

S. I reveal in concealment like that?

R. No, no, no, it is not related, don’t get into that.

Reading Continues. (03:42) “Three Kinds of Concealment of the Wisdom...” 

2. S. (06:10) It is a very short article, maybe I can ask, who is it written for, and on what occasion?

R. I don't know, that is what we found in the writings of Baal HaSulam. 

Reading Continues. (06:42) “Impossible - This means that the language...” Twice.

3. S. (08:50) Does the prohibition of revealing the wisdom of Kabbalah, does that still hold today or what prohibition is he talking about?

R. There is no prohibition on the dissemination of the wisdom of Kabbalah. It needs to be adapted to the development of the generation and we see that it is possible to disclose it, but in accordance with the development.

S. Especially lately, we work a lot on dissemination, those who write in the social networks as we know. Should we hold a special intention so the words will exude a spiritual force?

R. No, simply write, clearly and superficially.

4. S. (10:25) It describes here a disconnect between the reality that the Kabbalist attains and the ability of the language to convey it. How do you bridge that gap?

R. Until a person reaches the inner qualities of the wisdom he will not know.

S. Will he know he doesn't need any form of study?

R. He needs more, but he will write more about that afterward. 

Reading Continues. (11:05-17:38) “Permission from Above - This matter is explained...”
