Part 2:

Baal HaSulam. You Have Made Me in Behind and Before (Surrender, Division, Sweetening)

Reading: “There are three discernments...” (00:35) twice

1. R. (02:45) Meaning in our world we have a problem confusion between light and darkness, good and bad sanctity, and the shell, between all the states. I will read it again: “There are three discernments required of a man and the desirable path, surrender division and sweetening”. Meaning I am reading it I am cutting a few words. Because the light of this world was created out of darkness as the advantage of the light from within the darkness and it's light does not shine in the daytime you don't feel the light on the sun is out so we have to grow from within the darkness to slowly gradually see the light at that we can bring out from ourselves and this is the secret of the meaning of the Klipa, shells the fruit, meaning first we feel the darkness we reveal the darkness, that we are in darkness, how much we wish to feel the light from our darkness from our ego where we only suffer. In this way we advance towards such states where the Klipa, the shell precedes the fruit but later the fruit has to grow inside the Klipa, inside the shell or the peel. That is why he becomes a partner to the Creator and the work of creation because he awakens the light within the darkness, and he brings out the light from the darkness. Meaning he considers how lowly and ignoble one is compared to the Holiness of the Creator and the person begins to feel how much he is opposite and how lowly he is relative to the force of bestowal, how filthy are his clothes and through it the light becomes surrounded. Meaning those things that we are going through, the light, the upper light itself, arranges everything so we feel how opposite we are relative to it. That we would want to come out of our own darkness and come to a state where we resemble the light. In what do we resemble the light, in being able to manage the light to shine, not that the light itself is under our control. Rather because we agreed to be within the darkness to shine the light only in order to resemble the Creator the source, by that we awaken the light in the darkness.

Reader Continues (06:13) “In regard to the Creator’s question...”

2. (06:39) Meaning until we begin to understand, to feel, to subjugate our will to receive that separates us from one another and prevents the Creator from being revealed, the light, because there is a disconnect between us all. To the extent that we connect between us we allow the light to be revealed between us and we bring light into the darkness.

Reader Continues (07:07) “Until he feels in his soul…”

3. (07:21) The more he advances drawing the light, bringing the light into the darkness, he begins to see how this darkness is a terrible state, it is worse than death and to that extent he is incorporated with the light.

Reader continues (07:44) “At that time he will be rewarded…”

4. R. (08:10) Where the will to receive will add to the light and by that we will grow the light.

Reader continues (08:18) “This is considered sweetening…”

5. R. (09:00) Meaning by wanting to extend the light through the correction of the vessels he understands his vessels. Where he is structured more and in the relationship between the darkness and the light in the vessels, that he needs to connect them until the light shines in them and he understands more and more the purpose of creation, the essence. The Creator himself and why he arranged the entire process in this way and that is the meaning of, from your actions we shall know you. He gets to know the Creator more and or more again, through surrender, division, and sweetening. He surrenders himself and he separates the will to receive from the will to bestow and corrects the will to receive so that it will be in order to bestow which is the sweetening. Then he brings the Creator to rule over all of creation where creation is darkness, and he brings the light to correct and to fill the darkness.

6. S. (10:19) He says that the shell came before the fruit. What is the shell or the peel, the Klipa?

R. The peel, the shell is the will to receive in its natural form the way the Creator created it. We, as created beings need to start from the Klipa, from the shell and grow inside of it just like you see fruit. It grows in the beginning and there is no difference between the fruit and the shell that surrounds it, and as it grows more and more there is a difference between the fruit and the inside of the fruit, until you see that you can throw away the peel and enjoy the fruit.

S. What is the connection, he says he becomes a partner to the creation and the act of creation?

R. That is why in all of our actions we need to distinguish between the peel and the fruit and that everything begins from the peel the shell. Just as you see in this world everything begins from the shell and you cannot do it without the shell otherwise the fruit cannot grow except inside of the shell.

S. How do I become a partner to the Creator?

R. Because he is a partner in the that he agrees, he participates by agreeing, that inside the shell the fruit grows inside the egoistic desire, we gradually scrutinize how we can add the reforming light the upper force that would grow in us, inside the shell or the peel a desire to bestow, the intention to bestow.

S. That is the condition of taking the light out of the darkness?

R. Certainly to that extent that we draw the upper light, and it gives us the intention to bestow over our desires to receive. Then they become worthy of receiving the upper light according to the equivalence of form with the upper light and in this way the shell, the peel becomes the fruit. In nature and in vegetative degree you can see it. On the animate degree it is way more complex, but it is essentially the same process. You have a piece of meat of flesh, there is nothing in it, gradually all kinds of qualities grow in it, thoughts. Then this piece becomes something independent.

7. S. (13:26) I do not know if you can explain it but what does it mean that the light comes out of the darkness, what do I have to do for that?

R. Through the darkness specifically the darkness that is revealed more and more through that from that we could distinguish the light.

S. I am in the darkness; aren't we in the darkness?

R. No we are not in the darkness you can see that it is dark, why? The Kabbalists are telling us we are in the dark, but we cannot feel it. We do not feel our life as darkness. We need either to study the wisdom Kabbalah that will bring you to knowing, to feeling that you are in the dark or you require a great deal of suffering that will show you that you are in the dark.

S. Then how do I come out of this darkness?

R. Suffering can lower the flesh that can correct you. That we would want to come out of the dark because you suffer. In place of that we Torah. We can bring the reforming light and understand that it is better for us to rise above these sufferings and not be like all of humanity. Humanity is taking the path of suffering. More and more it will feel the suffering and the next state will not be better than today's state for all of humanity. Together with that, it wants all kinds of good things to be revealed to look for additional sources of energy and new sources of entertainment. Whatever it is but in the end each period like that, you can then distinguish four degrees in it. We will learn about it later, Shoresh, Aleph, Bet, Gimel, and root, first, second, third, and the fourth degree, where we come into consciousness. As it is explained to us that people rise and tear down what they built and they begin to build on a higher degree, a new degree. Until there, we also come to the same results, and it too is the start, and we start anew. That is how the cycle continues but, in a spiral, we keep going higher and higher because we ultimately collect the recognition of good, the recognition of evil and we gradually change. To reach them correct change, meaning to get to know the truth in such a way this is called, the path of suffering and it is a very long path. That is why apart, some of the people are given the knowledge of the purpose and the process and the purpose of the process and then we can overcome ourselves and accelerate our development.

S. The light that reforms is that only in the tens? Can I do it personally?

R. No, if not, with what? How will you draw the light?

S. That is what I am asking, only in the ten?

R. Not even ten, even two, the smallest collective is two. You need to be against something opposite to you, that you hate him, and he hates you and then together with that you will understand that you must connect.

S. That is the condition?

R. Otherwise you cannot reach a higher degree.

S. Then does life get better as it says?

R. I do not understand...... Can you speak clearly?

S. Then the world will change for the better, the light will change?

R. For you it will change for the better.

S. The rest of the world?

R. I am not talking about the rest of the world, I am talking about you.

8. S. (17:58) There is something that was not clear to me. So, the process he writes about here, it is what happened to all people, not only to us, right?

R. Which language can I use to speak clearly?

S. So the process he is writing about here, it is something that happens to all humans, and not just to us, right?

R. Yes, but there is a difference between and how we go through the process; they are those that come from different parts, we come from different parts of Adam HaRishon that is why we are not equal between us. Therefore, we go through the correction not in the same way, it is not an equal process, and that is why Kabbalah has explained to us and, how we have to behave to help one another, and to reach the end for all of us, because the end of correction has to be for everyone. I cannot reach the end of correction if there are those who still did not make it. I have to help everyone and in this process we go through it, there are those among us who are already very advanced and there are those who have not even started the path, and there are those who found that the outset come from such parts of Adam HaRishon that they don't have any great coarseness, and their shattering wasn't great, and that is why they cannot feel the difference between the darkness and the light so much. They are more distant from the spiritual feeling; it is not so important to them. The matter of bestowal or reception, just to feel good, as long as they feel good. They feel themselves more on the animate level, and there are those who are opposite to them. It is more important to feel, where am I closer to the truth, or to the lie, the falsehood? They are different people, and it is only the scrutiny of the souls that awaken such people. That is why we need to advance together all of us, and specifically in the connection, the more we connect between us, we will feel how the path opens up to everyone because the correction is mostly in the incorporation.

S. It seems that there are people outside of Bnei Baruch, outside of us that would benefit so much from this, because it would basically explain what they are living, what they are going through.

R. I recommend to you that the most you can do for them is to give them our address, or website address, and let them enter into those explanations for beginners and scrutinize these for themselves. Is it worthwhile for them or not? More than that it is not recommended, not to try to convince them or something like that.

9. S. (21:47) How to make a separation between the light and the darkness, and our work in the ten.

R. You are also right now between light and darkness, except light in darkness for you now is bitter or sweet, clear, or not clear, hot, and cold, all kinds of things like that. The question is to determine what the light for you is, and what is the darkness. Where light is bestowal and connection in the group the values are spiritual, and the darkness is the other way around the opposite.

S. Also, when I feel that the more, we advance there is suffering?

R. That is clear because the will to receive grows, and we can climb only above the will to receive, to rise above it, and it is certain that the suffering grows, but the essence of the suffering changes. I suffer because I have no truth, no connection, I have no connection with the friends, I cannot understand the Creator. The essence of the suffering changes. Beforehand I used to suffer from all kinds of things in this world, today I barely noticed them. He has something more or less than we know. What is more important to me? What is more influential to me are the spiritual discernments.

S. Let us say that in the suffering I am not connected to the friends. Is that the ego suffering or what kind is it?

R. This is a purposeful suffering. It brings me to the end of correction between us and with the Creator.

10. S. (24:03) I am a bit confused about the clothing, the dirty clothes. When a person comes near the light, he feels shame. How can there be a partnership?

R. It is not important. We always feel shame relative to others. We do not want the others to reveal stuff about me that can shame me. It is natural, but I value the purpose of this about something, meaning how much I am able to come closer to the truth that is more important to me. Meaning not pleasant versus unpleasant shame or honor, rather only truth, or falsehood.

11. S. (25:19) It is written, the advantage of light from the darkness, but sometimes a person falls in the dark and he does not have the forces or the desire to come out. He does not see any advantage in the light, he just feels good staying in that dark. The question is, with what forces can someone want to come out of that darkness?

R. With the help of society, what are you asking me? Only with the help of society, if you have no desire and you want to wake up, to rise then, only society can help you. What else can there be? What else can be used to lift you?

S. I cannot even turn to them. How will they know?

R. The society has to be arranged in advance to be ready for such states where it awakens everyone, each, and everyone.

S. This is something that I cannot know in the ten, if someone is in the darkness, who does not want to come out?

R. You need to decide on certain times in advance for a general awakening.

S. What does that mean?

R. Each and every one should give an example to his friend in the ten, how much he wants to awaken everyone, how much he is on fire, he is awakened because of the greatness of the goal, the greatness of the Creator, the greatness of their friend, and he has to show it to everyone, set an example to everyone.

S. How can I locate if someone in my ten is in a difficult state of darkness?

R. It is not important, you need to awaken everyone. You need to think about how you can awaken everyone.

S. Even if I do not know that he is in the darkness?

R. It does not matter that people are always deficient. There is always something missing, the important thing is the persistence to be persistent about those things as much as possible.

12. S. (27:27) I feel not connected enough to the friends, but I am not suffering from it. How to turn the deficiency into suffering?

R. That is a big problem, to pray even without a desire.

13. S. (28:01) We want to scrutinize the past words we read in this excerpt, to ruin the evil?

R. The intention to receive is called evil, not the will to receive, but the intention in order to receive, desire in and of itself is not evil, but the intention to receive instead of to bestow it is evil it is bad. We need to erase it, to extract it from ourselves as much as we can.

14. S. (28:49) Baal HaSulam writes here that he becomes a partner with the Creator at the beginning?

R. That he wants to bestow to everyone like the Creator. At the beginning of creation is when you have the will to receive, and the created begins to work on this will to receive, Seemingly, this is according to time as if there was any time.

15. S. (29:32) What does it mean that they surrendered to the landlady?

R. I am not going to explain it, because it is not important to them. I do not want to enter into these nuances and short meanings to approach one another with an open heart. All these other things, these other words, they are not important to us.

16. S. (30:08) Why is it a necessary condition, in order to draw the light between two people's hatred and not love?

R. That the prayer in the ten comes from hatred.

S. Why are there necessary conditions that in order to draw the light between two people there has to be hate and not love, that the prayer in the ten comes from hatred?

R. I do not understand what you are talking about, the state that you are describing.

S. When they have hatred between them and they need to pray, why from the hatred and not from the love?

R. What can they draw from love? What are they lacking? Our plea to the Creator has to come from a deficiency. What kind of deficiency do they have? They have no deficiency.

S. You said that you need at least two people that hate each other in order to awaken the light that reforms.

R. Yes, which is a good state I did not say at least but at least one who hates another then there is a difference between them, and they can already begin to pray to the Creator.

17. S. (31:43) How to continue living in a condition where the world is becoming worse? How can you build a new world in such conditions?

R. We need to pray for connection between everyone. We only speak of that. That is the only thing we need to yearn for. Only when we come closer to one another, the world will seem better to us. That should be clear to us. I do not think there is anyone that could say otherwise. It is clear that if people come close to one another everyone will feel better. We have to pray for that, explain it to everyone, and bring that state and practice. The fact that the world will not move towards this state by itself is clear. We see it from all of reality, it can happen only through great calamities, wars, and plagues. We can make it happen by raising our own MAN. Why raising our own MAN? Because we have a deficiency for the whole world that wants to reach something better, and we have the force of Bina. Mayin Nukvin, Nukva is water, Malchut is the entire world, all those desires that suffer and the water is Bina which is us who can bind all the desires to the force of Bina, the force of bestowal to connection above our ego. Then when we draw in all of those deficiencies in this way, from all of humanity we raise them upwards. We want to raise them to the degree of Bina with our own forces as much as we have them even though we ourselves are not on the degree of Bina, but we wish to do it. Our prayer, our inclination there is very powerful. Specifically because we are not there, and we are not in the quality of bestowal entirely but the fact that we want to be in the quality of the bestowal in order to pull behind us all the other souls that do not have any connection to Bina. This is great work and specifically then in this way we can raise the whole world and ourselves. It is very important. Who are we? We are the ones that can do this work, specifically we can do this work and we can correct the world.

18. S. (35:02) How is the intention in order to receive for myself, how was that created?

R. The intention to receive from self was created from the shattering of the vessels that we are learning in the world Nekudim. After the world of Nekudim and the worlds and the shattering of Adam HaRishon, in the souls.

19. S. (35:39) Why does the Creator awaken certain people from suffering and other people from wisdom or knowledge, what is the difference?

R. It depends on the structure of the soul of each one. We cannot understand it for the time being. Later we will begin to see how all of these worlds connect like a puzzle. They complete one another. We will understand why it is happening specifically in this way, but we will see that it is actually happening according to the upper wisdom full of justice.

S. What corrupts the garments? Is it the clothing of the light when we work in the ten?

R. The garments get corrupted, get soiled, impure. He says filthy clothes. Filthy is the corruption. The intention in order to receive enters between the correct intentions.
