Baal HaSulam. The Arvut (Mutual Guarantee). #22

1. R. (0:12) We will see from studying Passover material the whole topic of Passover which is exiting in order to receive and rising to bestowal from the ego to bestowal in order to bestow. We will see how it is, in all the articles and in everything we do and how our whole goal is in only that. The whole difference between this world which is temporary and transient and the spiritual world which is eternal and whole, the whole difference is becoming included in the will to bestow instead of the will to receive.

Reading 22 (01:02)

2. R. (04:16) This is really a very severe depiction. Right?

S. Terrible.

R. Terrible, why?

S. How can you encompass such a thing?

R. Good. So we see that unlike what we didn't see before, now we see in a much clearer, true or conspicuous way what is required of us. That recognition of evil has to be so much that I will not stand living in my situation even for another moment and the solution is simple, I can come to that only through the connection between us which the Creator prepared for us and it is possible if we can connect a little bit we’ll find a deficiency to come out of our state and go into a spiritual state. It is there within us between us, between us, so that the closer we come to each other the more we want to exit this state of prison, of exile and into redemption. But if we do not fulfill the connection sufficiently then we feel no need for it and then we are just sorry about why we don’t have a need but if we have a need then there is not a problem. If there is a need I don't need to go out and do all kinds of things, I only need to want to make an action out of connection and then the Creator sets it up. So our work is simple just to acknowledge the necessity to connect between us and from connection between us demand redemption.

What is redemption? To demand that the Creator will appear specifically between us, that is spirituality, revelation of the Creator between us, that is spirituality. So, He awakens us, He pushes us to that state and all we have left is to set up these things right here between us on the level of this world. So let us make an effort, if from the connection between us we demand from the Creator because we can’t actually achieve connection, why? We don't reveal Him, that is the fact, so the connection is not yet whole. So demanding the Creator to correct our connection to the point that we want to reveal Him. To reveal Him is to reveal the force of love, of bestowal, of connection of Arvut.

3. S. (07:42) I heard many times that Bnei Baruch is a conduit of light to all of humanity and the ten can connect and become the conduit. Here he writes in a very extreme way that because of me the whole world can suffer. So I don't understand how it is possible that this war and all these disasters are because of me. Why not the ten, and why am I specifically, personally, guilty about this?

R. In an integrated system if there is any flaw in any element then the whole connection does not work. The whole system is already ruled out of operation. That is the issue with an integral system. So that is why we are studying this article, the Arvut. What is the Arvut? That each one must complete the others and each one must be responsible for all the others and that everyone should care for everyone each and everyone and all of them together in such a way we come through our minds and hearts to a global, comprehensive, integrated perception which we do not have and then we begin to digest this integral approach, perception, through which we feel spirituality.

Spirituality includes everything whether it is to a smaller or greater extent but it includes everything. So we have to come and bring ourselves to that, this perception in the heart and the mind. So everything depends on us that is what we need to get closer to and the first action is that a person wants to exit himself and incorporate with the others and in such a way we come to a state where we are integrated in everyone where I stop feeling myself but I feel how I am present in everyone and how everyone else is me and in this kind of approach through this kind of exercise we come to a state of an integrated perception where there is not me or you or anything there is just all of us as one. By that we come back to the format of Adam HaRishon.

S. This feeling of responsibility, this great pressure, it is a great burden as you said if we can incorporate in the ten, can we suffer it in some way and how? With a mutual screen that incorporates these forces?

R. First of all it is the responsibility every one of us is responsible for everyone else at least in his ten. If there is someone that escapes that connection in the ten it is my flaw. I cannot take the responsibility off of myself towards anyone. Ultimately if there is any problem, trouble, failure or suffering in the world I have caused it and I am guilty I am responsible and I am going to be punished. It is the law of an integral system, the complete system, if everyone enters Arvut like he explains to us that ultimately every person in the whole world has to enter the system of Arvut and we discover the Creator in full to everyone and it will come, it will come. Because the truth is that this final form already exists from the beginning of creation, it exists, we just have to become ready to embrace it ourselves.

4. S. (13:03) I want to scrutinize, he says that one sinner will do much bad because he didn’t relinquish his little need so he pushes the whole world backward. What does he mean by that?

R. Let’s say today instead of thinking about the correction of the world that you have to give your part to it and that make everyone think about at least the wholeness of the world is in mutual guarantee and how all people of the world have to think about each other and how to advance the human towards peace towards completion towards connection so that instead of that you are going to play cards or something like you are used to do everyday.

S. But that lust itself is life, aren’t we supposed to live here too?

R. To live means that you want to live for everyone else.

S. Lust is that Egypt? Our lust?

R. Yes.

S. So what will take me out of this lust?

R. The Creator, who else?

S. In what way? What should I ask for?

R. That you will connect with the friends ans ask of the Creator together with them so that he pulls you out of lust meaning desires, thoughts for self and then you’ll see how it works but start connecting with the friends and all of you start praying to the Creator asking of the Creator and you’ll see how much that helps.

S. How much can I use this world in order to not pass a limit of lusts?

R. Simply to revive your soul.

S. What does it mean, I can’t be rich, I can’t have a good profession and be famous? What, should I be annulled completely?

R. If you are a member of us then like us you have to accept this law for your life that only the connection the correction for everyone is your main concern in life and other than that you want to take out of life what you need in order to live in order to do this action of connection with everyone.

S. Ok, but not to cancel all kinds of things I do like in my job or …

R. You need a profession in order to make a living.

S. So what’s the limit?

R. The limit you’re going to measure it. If you say guys I’m sorry I’m going to take ten years now to work because I have to be able to replace my car to some unique Mercedes then what?

S. I understand but somehow I have to take into account that I study Kabbalah and at some point I have to lower my volume in my daily life and only be sufficient with the minimum right?

R. That too.

5. S. (17:01) You just said before that if we failed to connect, if we fail in our responsibility inside our ten we are going to be punished. What kind of punishment is it, what do you mean by punish?

R. Punishment begins from you not being drawn to connection to the Creator to the goal of life that's it the greatest punishment is that the Creator throws you away from connection with him and you once again descend to the end to the level of beastly existence like all the other people of the world this is the punishment he doesn't need to take you through some horrible suffering but just continuing to live like everyone else which is like animals you will too and that's it.

Reader Continues: Item 23 “With these words we clearly understand…”

R. (19:28) Meaning it’s impossible to explain immediately and to all of humanity and right away this issue of rising above the ego to the force of bestowal and love. It’s impossible. Rather there is gradual dissemination of the correction here.

Reader Continues:

R. (22:54) We ourselves see how difficult it is and now think about explaining that to all humanity but it needs to be accepted with agreement. The exception was the Israeli Nation this is what happened in ancient Babylon that Abraham brought together Babylonians first of all he disseminated in Babylon the issue the matter of spiritual ascent and the people who came to him from all of Babylon those were all the people from which he made the group called Israel.

Reader continues: “Because they were enslaved in the savage kingdom of Egypt …”

6. S. (25:23)... no translation.

R. The previous degrees that we have went through and we’ll have to discover them today and in the future. That's it.

7. S. (25:53) So to not shift the world to scale of demerit each time I feel self love, I have to run to the ten and ask for connection?

R. Of course, you said it nicely and that’s a law. Once self-love is revealed only incorporating in the ten I can work with that self-love correctly and receive help from above and organize that self-love to become general love

.

8. S. (26:30) What is the complete Arvut toward the ten, the world Kli, the world?

R. The complete Arvut is that we reach a state that the whole world starts understanding from problems and trouble that they go through, that there is no choice but to be together, all of us, in that general Arvut. That there won't be any wars, that we we’ll be able to supply everybody with essential things, that there will be a supply of medication to everyone. Anything, that it will be good for everyone and afterwards gradually we need to draw the whole world from this corporeal Arvut to spiritual Arvut, that in mutual support that we organize between us we can discover the mutual force that is bringing us, that is giving us birth and escorting us through the way called Creator.

9. S. (27:45) What does it mean to be responsible? Friends that are less active and can't connect, is that my problem as well?

R. Yes, that's your problem. It's like in the system, you have before you a system and a part doesn't work, because that one part doesn't work so the whole system doesn't work or it works but with a corruption, something's broken and then we can't receive the results of that system correctly and then we all mistake because that one part.

10. S. (28:37) How to not be this one sinner that loses much good?

R. To be adhered to the group as much as possible and do everything that group demands of her, to lose myself in the group, that is the healthiest thing, the most correct thing.

11. S. (29:07) We learned that after each stronger connection there is a deeper separation so why are we not to blame for that because is that not a new state?

R. On the new degree we need every time to scrutinize ourselves, as much as we are all responsible for everyone, that nobody needs to look at himself, he has to look at the others and be concerned of his group and by that he'll see as much as he’s for sure concerned for himself.

12. S. (29:52) Everything is from the Creator so why people who are unaware of spirituality need to take responsibility for how the Creator operates them?

R. It's an integral system and if you think about what an integral system is, you'll see that we say that everybody's equal. Where does that come from? In an integral system really everybody's equal, there’s no small or big, there’s no that or that, everybody must behave according to the root of his soul and then he’ll be like everyone meaning equal. For now during the time of connection so we don't so we're not so we can't discover how equal we are but as much as we come closer to the end of corrections it'll stand out more.

13. S. (30:59) What is the exactly is the parable about the sesame seeds? Do we keep pushing the world backwards? What actions push the world forward?

R. All the actions of connection help the world advance and us waiting and we don't want to connect forcefully and in prayer so that brings bad.

14. S. (31:28) When we will see our friends as perfect, is that an expression of being corrected?

R. If I see my friends connected and aimed and whole it means in something that I am also whole and connected and I am with them.

Reader Continues: Item 24 (31:56)

15. R. (32:34) That group that came out of Babylon from all the nations that were in Babylon and they said we want to behave differently than the Babylonians, they don't want to be with us so we'll be on our own and then they came out of there, that group that included all the people from Babylon there were many people it was all of civilization in Babylon back then when they came out of there they were a lot of people.

Reader continues: (32:54) “Thus, because of the above….”

16. R. (33:09) That means the three lines, that's how they are called, that's the way that group started organizing itself.

Reader continues: (33:21) “For it was inconceivable….”

17. S. (34:35) The idea of the passageway, the gateway is very deep and I'm asking whether in dissemination towards the public we should also look for such articles?

R. No, about dissemination will have to talk completely different, this isn't about dissemination. You see this article how it slices and explains in a very determined way how we need to be connected how we’re dependent on one another how until each one, it's an article the way he writes because that's the way he sees the things in a complete way but we aren't there yet and especially when we try to explain it to people that aren't in this at all so here we need to really receive this all in a small portion pass it on nicely like you to explain it to children and in such a way if we do come closer to the nations so to understand and feel in which way the people can accept this article this opinion this idea and in somewhat to agree with it I'm not even talking about implementing but to agree that yes I guess this is the way this providence and nature works on us that's it but questions except for that none.

18. S. (36:33) If you can explain when that the sparks of purification multiply etc, is this process independent of our work or it continues, purifies everyday?

R. That's right but on the animate degree there's the degree still vegetative and animate on those degrees the correction takes place from suffering from the created beings which are all the animate from the still vegetative and animate they suffer and the suffering itself is the correction because they are suffering from their own ego from the will to receive but from the speaking degree which is the internality of man, every person in the world their internality, that’s something else, there you cannot reach corrections by suffering on the still, vegetative and animate degrees there we need on our inner correction to bring ourselves to the right perception to the right state that's it.

S. So suffering can purify us only to a certain level and then it becomes useless. You just suffer, nothing happens?

R. Correct but most beneficial for us is if we connect into tens and in the ten each one feels himself connected to the friends and even though they see that they're not and he doesn't want to connect and that each one and somewhat is deviating from the path but still we need to make efforts and by that that we still try to be connected no matter how much it seems right or not the main thing is the effort so by us giving the effort to be connected until we reach the Arvut that's our work and according to that we come closer to revealing the Creator that's it.

Workshop: how can we scrutinize between us? How should I ask how can we reach Arvut, actually there’s onward, Arvut, that's the main thing, that each one is in guarantee to the others, that we will all reach the goal. Without the Arvut we can't reach it and in the Arvut we attain it and quickly, please. Let's discuss it between us.
