Part 1:
Baal HaSulam - Shamati 50. Two States,
1.Rav’s Introduction: Yes, this is very interesting article it is a relatively simple explaining to us that all in all we have two states for those people who are on the path, it is either the holy Shechina we discover or before that when we try to discover it and that is the state of suffering. From those two states, from those two steps, with these two steps we always reach the correction, the end of correction. There are two states, let's see there isn't much introduction necessary I can give here to this article, as it explains everything by itself.
Reading Shamati 50 (01:20)
2. R. (11:20) Yes, all of those who are craving to discover the Creator which are called Yashar Kel, Israel, straight to the Creator. Okay, what should we do now, let's hear a few questions.
3. S. (11:44) What can help the person to be able to say that the wake-up call he received comes from the Creator and not to fall into false beliefs that it comes from someone's own strength?
R. After the person wants to wake up, many times he wants to do something and he discovers that he is a powerless, the heart does not allow, the hands he cannot lift them, he cannot move himself and then the person realizes that he exists in a state where only the internal force that is in the hands of the upper force, in the hands of the Creator that manages him, controls him and that state where he cannot lift himself by himself and this is a fact. Because indeed this is how it is but here the person can start to distinguish in which forces, he is having good forces or evil forces and how they are coming closer to him, how they control him. So that all in all there is a single force there is none else besides him working on us through either the path of suffering, if we are not able to move on our own then it starts to work on us in such a way. Or that we try to nullify the ego and to the extent we connect to the good force until we reach a feeling that it truly controls the world both in the good things and the evil things and it was this single upper force.
4. S. (14:07) In the beginning he describes there are two states, the suffering and he puts Divinity as those people who play a sad melody, why is this comparison between these two?
R. Because we cannot reach any good state unless beforehand, we go through it as a negative state because we have to feel who we are, what is our nature and the extent we are not capable of doing anything on our own. We cannot elevate ourselves as much as we want to, seemingly we still cannot elevate ourselves by ourselves and our whole effort is in order to show us our weakness and therefore those states are considered the path of suffering. When we put enough exertion into it to progress in actions of in order to bestow with the right intention then when we put sufficient effort in quantity and quality which is the quota of exertion as certain measure, then we are rewarded with the Creator beginning to be revealed to us and to show himself to us, to teach us how to do everything. Then we are in a state of the revelation of the holy Divinity, in the presence of the Creator in the whole reality. The whole reality means in our mind and heart and this is how we progress so we always have a certain path of suffering and then the path of light or the path of Torah or the path of Divinity. It cannot be that there is elevation of good without previously revealing the evil, it cannot be discovering the state of bestowal before we feel ourselves in the intention of in order to receive and that we started to hate the state. We have to prepare everything by ourselves from those negative things, from those negative states, we actually build the vessels for the revelation of the good states, it all comes from the darkness to the light, there was evening and morning, one day.
5. S. (17:22) Why does it come in an abstract form for us to ask and even though we want it so badly in the right state, why does it come in an abstract state?
R. The state that comes to us, it is coming to all people in the world, it is not different in any way it all depends on how we accept it. If we accept it as everybody else then we do not even belong to the degree of human Adam, that wants to resemble the Creator but we belong to the degree of beast. It is written about that, they all seemed as beasts, this is where everything starts from and if in our world there is a difference between still, vegetative and animate, the difference between the animal and the speaking in truth there is no difference. The hands, the legs, the body, the head there is no difference. The entire difference is the fulfillment of the animal that becomes an Adam, a human as we learn from the study of the 10 Sefirot the third part, that the monkey is the intermediate of the animate and the human, Adam. This is already biologically speaking while in spiritual terms we have to go through this entire process of the still, vegetative, animate and speaking in our development. We have reached in our development a state of the speaking where we have a desire, we have a craving, we have a passion to be those who speak. Those who speak meaning not to remain on the degree beast but to reach the degree of Adam. Here we need to understand, what this degree of man, the degree of Adam. The degree of Adam is that he craves to resemble the Creator, he learns how to change himself all the time not in his body or external behavior in this world, here he needs to do everything in this world to eat, drink, sleep, to build a home, family, children, like everybody else. Like all other people, they all seemed as beast but this degree which they keep is their kind of beastliness, there is nothing special to it. Also, among animals there are many species where each follows its nature building their lives this way. The entire difference between the animate degree and the speaking degree that the speaking degree yearns for its root, for its origin, that there is an upper force managing me and I want to discover this force. This is it, this is the difference between the degree of human and the animate degree, the animate does not crave for this. This degree starts with the person egotistically to get to know the upper force to discover it. But bit by bit in engagement in this when he truly wants this then he is brought as Baal HaSulam writes in the Arvut article that the person is brought to the good place and told take this, meaning that now you are with people who are like and if you connect with them correctly then you start to build between us a spiritual structure. Meaning that you do not need to build something out of matter, that is finished, there is no matter, what you build is the relationships between you. Those relations, they will give you the feeling of a reality which is already in the spiritual world, it is a spiritual structure, in the spiritual air and this is what you have to build and this is how we progress.
6. S. (23:06) The article talks about believing in reward and punishment that the Creator governs us and I pray in the past and the Creator answers now thanks to the prayer from the past, why do we need this gap in time, what does he want to teach as there is a gap between prayer and answer?
R. In order to build in us the correct deficiency for spirituality that is nothing here not a place or time or any reason for any other purpose but to teach as just like you play with a child letting him to do something and then you let's say give him building blocks and you wait and wait until he does this and that. Later you begin to help him in a way that it does not know that you are helping him but instead you move something like some building block or something else hinting how to do it and this is how he sees this and sometimes he has to turn to you asking for help. Sometimes you just tell him that in a way that you reveal yourself and you say this is how it needs to be done. There are a few different kinds of relation between the great and the small in order to accompany the smaller, the infant, to help the little one to progress. This is the matter of building the mind, the understanding and this is similar to how we build a spiritual mind, it is not built simply just like that but we cannot discover it, that it already exists inside of us. We truly need to make it, we need to make it grow inside of us and we need to connect all the different states and examinations and details so these examinations will be built between all those parts of the brain and emotions. So, we need to put effort into this so it will become ours so each time when we build something, it turns out that we build something which is external but eventually we discover something more internal. This is why it takes a lot of effort and a lot of time but this is work which the Creator cannot give up on because by this we become similar to him.
S. If I understand correctly if I do not receive an answer to the prayer this is a call from the Creator for me to search for something else until I find the right answer to the prayer?
R. This is true but you do not think that you do not get an answer to the prayer, you always get an answer but it is either that you do not understand it or that you do not feel that you received an answer. Because you are still not waking up yourself sufficiently to receive an answer from the Creator so you have to search and you will see that you always get an answer.
7. S. (27:03) How to know that the state I go through is the revelation of the Creator or my ego?
R. Simply continue, simply continue, here we have no, how should I say, we do not have any possibility to know this for certain because you want to receive an answer in your physical mind, on the physical level as usual in this life. Here specifically the answer has to be on a slightly higher level, slightly higher level each time and therefore we need to exert a little bit more.
8. S. (28:09) I feel from all the descriptions of yours and the article that it is a very thin line, how can we polish our vessel to be in the right frequency all the time?
R. Well we will read the article more times and it will become clearer to you, it is truly about relating more and more about what he writes, everything is in the article.
9. (28:50) The friends would like you to read it again.
10. R. (29:00) Article 50, two states there are two states to the world, in the first state the world is called suffering and the second state it is called the holy Divinity. Meaning that we have and that he is intending for the person who is already walking the path towards identifying with the Creator and the person needs to connect with others. So eventually he would reach the vessel of Adam HaRishon this is where the person has full attachment to the Creator, this is the goal. The world of the person, the state of the person, which is the internal state, what the person feels is divided into two different states, suffering or the holy Divinity. It is so because before the person is rewarded to correct his deeds in order to bestow, the person feels the world only in the form of suffering and pain. However later he is rewarded with seeing that holy Divinity is dressed into the whole world and then the Creator is considered to be fulfilling the whole world and the world is then called in the name of the holy Divinity that receives from the Creator.
This is called the unification of the Creator with his Divinity and this is done by the person who has reached this state where he connected the Divinity, the whole of reality with the upper force with the Creator. Where the Creator gives the world is now engaging only in bestowal, this is what the person can discover, this is with respect to him, it is not the general end of correction but this is how the person feels. This is considered that he completed the degree in the same vessel in the same desire to receive it opened up to him, he discovered that the higher force is bestowing to his whole vessel in which he is now uniting the whole reality. This is what he feels that it is all only the holy Divinity, we feel this also in the beginning of the path when it seems to us that everything becomes fulfilled with certain waves, with a certain rosier color or something and everything is filled with certain warm higher force so then it is considered the unification of the Creator with his Shechina. Where the Creator gives and the whole world is engaging solely with bestowal this is what the person feels, this is his vessel and in it he feels, this it is not that he says it about everybody, there is nothing to talk about others, each one feels according to his own vessels. This is like a sad tune, when you have players who know how to perform the suffering about which the tune was composed all the tunes are like a spoken language expressing the sadness that the person wants to say out loud, if the tune evokes writing in the listeners to the extend each and every one cries to the extent one cries it is called a correct tune and everyone wants to listen. In our world other than children, if they are developed according to their mind and emotion, prefer to hear serious melodies, nowadays it is not quite there as not everyone is grown up to say the least.
11. S. (35:08) If a person correct himself and comes to his personal correction it is not a general correction but the personal correction the question, he does not see what the Creator sees when everybody is corrected. Why is it called an individual correction and not a general correction? What else remains until the general correction?
R. First of all of the talking about the two states that can exist, it is not the end of the path, it is not the end but there are two states if the person for the time being nullifies himself so that instead of the vessels of reception, he enters the vessels of bestowal they shine on him from above or himself attains it from an awakening from below. It turns out that this person exists in a state that they revealed to him his state and it is not the state of the end of correction but for the time being he is in whatever it was revealed in his vessels, he is in such a particular illumination from above this is called the holy Divinity.
12. S. (36:36) How does it happen that the person who only works in the 10 succeeds in uniting the whole reality, attributing it to the Creator?
R. All together it is in him, what is revealed is revealed relative to the person, it could be as small vessel or a great or an even greater one, it all depends on the extent of nullification that the person does towards reality, towards the 10 or to the Creator or to the wisdom of Kabbalah, to something. If we are talking about beginners it doesn't have to be at true vessel and if he nullifies in such a way then it grabs him, it is like with beginners who enter studies and then truly gives themselves over, it is like every beginner that this wisdom so-called swallows him so the person can feel it the whole reality through.
S. It is clear when such an awakening comes from above but when the person already works in the 10, he annuls before the ten and never leaves it, always works there, how can he attribute the whole reality to the Creator, sees the whole holy Divinity?
R. Try to nullify to the 10 in this way because in the 10 is where the Creator exists and this is our entire reality. Try and then you will try to see everything inside the 10, it is 10 and no more. Then you will see this and then you already start to discover things that are more real tangible, that you start to work with it.
S. It is a bit of a theoretical question but it is a state when he continues to work only through the 10, he doesn't come out of the 10?
R. Even tighter inside the 10, I would say through the ten towards mankind because by this he discovers the vessel, the true vessel and he reveals his vessel this way. It should be clear we do not run off to some monastery and sit in some hole in the ground or in a forest or on top of the mountain, no. On the contrary, we have to sit and dwell within our people.
13. R. (39:41) How can people enjoy suffering since the tune does not point to a present suffering but the tune points to a past suffering meaning torments that have already passed are sweetened and received their fulfilment. For this reason, people like to hear those sad tunes because it indicates the sweetening of the judgement, the fact that he had the suffering, it has been sweetened. This is why these suffering are sweet to hear and then the world is called the holy Divinity, meaning that the holy Divinity is our desires which we suffered in before that we could not sort them, that we were truly, I do not know how to express it, we could not get along with them. Those things if we arrange them correctly now, we'll go over them and then what we passed, what we arranged will become from suffering they become the vessels of the holy Divinity in them the Creator is revealed. This is why it is revealed that there is no righteous in the land that does good but he did not sin before because specifically with all those crimes and disturbances and falls and all kinds of problems, specifically then when we go over those, we acquire the correct attitude to them and we start to discover in them the revelation of the Creator. In place of concealment, we reveal his revelation and the main thing the person needs to know and feel that there is a leader to the capital.
As our sages said, Abraham said there is no capital without a leader and the person must not think that everything that happens in the world is incidental because when there is a leader how can be incidental. The Sitra Achra [other side] causes one to sin and say that everything is incidental and this is the meaning of the vessel of semen when there is a vessel filled with semen coming from the incidental when the person is brought thoughts to say that everything incidental and even that when the other side is bringing a person such thoughts to say that the world is operating incidentally without higher providence. It is not incidental but the Creator wants it this way, meaning that in that which we are before the disturbances and we can overcome them and cannot overcome them and then somehow these disturbances confuse us, this all comes from the Creator, from the upper force. There is no incident in anything, it is all planned and arranged and we only need to know how methodically together we work on these things. Because if it is not together, we are not relating correctly whatsoever to everything that happens to us from the Creator a certain attitude comes to the whole ten for the purpose for us to connect between us and connect to him. If we do not do that this way then all together, we are not in the same invitation of the Creator's to come to him to connect to him.
14. S. (44:30) Would you please explain again the sufferings are sweet to hear?
R. Everything that we want to advance to the Creator with, we can advance to it only against our ego. This is why we do not want it, according to our nature. But if we overcome it towards connection, if we overcome, nevertheless, somehow with some inclination forward against the ego towards connection, then it turns out that we are doing the work. Eventually, according to the extent of our exertion that we invested in this, we later through that same exertion receive the knowledge, the knowing. Sufferings are called, ‘Shechina in exile.’ They come to a state in which we reveal the Shechina [Divinity]. From concealment we come to revelation.
15. S. (46:05) What is the correct attitude from us to the Creator?
R. The correct attitude to the Creator is where, as much as possible, we connect between us and want to stand against Him as one man with one heart. Meaning that each of us wants to nullify his own individual heart in order to be connected with such a concept called, ‘the general heart.’ This is called that these hearts are what the Creator demands. Then, this is how we built the vessel for a filling.
16. S. (46:56) You mentioned that in the bad states we build the vessel for the good states. What is the influence of justifying the Creator or condemning Him for those bad states towards building the vessel?
R. Repeat it, please.
S. In the bad states we build the vessel for the good states. What is the effect of justifying or condemning the Creator in those bad states on the building of the vessel?
R. We receive shattered states, shattered desires, meaning that they do not want to be connected between them. If we make an effort to connect these desires together to one network and we discover that we are not capable to do so, then we turn to the Creator and ask for help. This is already considered that there is a point of contact between the group and the Creator. When we turn to Him and ask Him to arrange the right connection for us, then He enjoys this and builds the right connection between us which is called the Shechina [Divinity], the Holy Shechina. ‘Holy,’ we talked about, is the quality of Bina - of bestowal, where we are in mutual bestowal between us. From this mutual bestowal between us, we relate in such a way to Him - to the Creator, then He can clothe Himself in our common quality of bestowal with His quality. Then, we reach the revelation of the Creator to the created being.
S. If I go through an unpleasant state, in my mind I realize that this is a state that builds me, it is a good state, but in my feeling I still feel unpleasant. I turn it to the ten, after all of this work, the feeling is still unpleasant. So am I still building the vessel or is it that so long that I don’t manage to justify Him, I am not building the vessel.
R. You can’t wait until it will be pleasant and good for you, and then you build it. Because then, it will be with certainty that you will build it only for your egoistic reasons. The fact that we do not want to build any connection between us, it is a sign that we are in the ability of building something spiritual. Then, gradually, we need to do each time a certain amount of overcoming and build some form of connection, more and more connect between us. Each time ask for this to take place, and for it to be real as much as possible. This is how we build the network of connection between us through our efforts, our exertion. The Creator needs to assist, as it is written, ‘’The Creator will complete it for me,’’ where each and every effort that we make, the Creator is the one that executes. This is how we build the net of connection between us called the Shechina [Divinity].
17. S. (51:03) Who is the friend that I have to connect with? What should I do so it would be worthwhile for the friend to connect it to me?
R. Show them that you are observing this article. Other than that, show them that you are observing what Rabash writes in ‘’The Social Writings’’ - in the articles. That is, it, we do not have to do anything besides that for the friends to see you as one who is trying, more and more, to connect everyone together. Then, certainly they will respect you and come closer to you and bring you closer. That is how we need to relate to every friend. There are friends that are more open and do this in an exposed way before everyone. There are people that are more introverted, although inside they are burning, a heart that is burning on a fire, but on the outside, we can’t really identify it. We need to try to somehow perform a certain correction on the behavior of each and every person, to understand that if the Creator arranged for us to be together, then we are worthy of connecting and revealing Him.
18. S. (52:47) We have been through this quickly, but he says that the suffering he had in the past had been mitigated, sweetened, and received their fill. What does it truly mean?
R. That I am justifying now the sufferings I have been through, all the difficulty and the problems, all these years. I justify going through them, because all together I have a big, shattered vessel and therefore, I needed to be in all those different states that I have been through. The Creator is leading me and ‘’Though I should walk in the valley of death, I do not fear because You are with me.’’ This is how I have advanced, and I understand what I have now all comes from above, every step along the way, positive, negative, negative, positive, all of that the Creator arranges for me.
S. So this means that the more suffering one has, there is more room for the Creator to fill up for you with things that are seemingly sweet. Is that what it is about?
R. Why sweet? That is what I have to discover now, that for me is sweet. But those things that I received before from the Creator appeared to me and felt bitter. All of this is through the change in my vessels.
S. Seemingly you created things that are like holes, and now the Creator can fill them with good - right? The trouble ends up being a positive thing, really.
R. Yes.
19. S. (54:53) What does it mean to speed up time?
R. Hastening time is called that through my efforts I don't take into consideration my body with my feelings to come closer to the friends, and together with them, with the study, with the connection to prepare this place more for the revelation of the Creator.
20. S. (55:43) In the external world we see that nobody wants to be in the state of lowness, and each one has a solution. We here in the ten have to experience failures also, lack of success. What is considered a successful act in the ten?
R. A successful action in the ten is where we all discover the forces of rejection to one another and we all try to rise above them to build a state in which love covers all crimes, and then we come closer to the revelation of the Creator in the nice connection between us which is built upon the bad connection between us. That is, it. Therefore, we all together need, in each ten, to work on our connection to the extent in which the Creator will be revealed. That is all in all, you see what is written.
21. S. (57:36) What does a person's ability to justify the Creator depend on?
R. To the extent of suffering. That he feels in his state that he is not successful, and that he can’t be in bestowal and connection in advancement in the revelation of the Creator, in resemblance of the Creator, he falls once more. Even though he rises, he discovers that he is just kind of blurring himself to not feel the pain. That is what he is working for, and not for the sake of truth. This is what advances him towards awakening.
22. S. (58:40) On Friday we have a hard time. Some friends, well not deliberately, but they don’t manage to advance. They take a step forward, two steps back, nothing is moving. We do not know what to do. The whole ten is five people, so what should we do in such a state?
R. First of all, five people is also good. The smallest plural is two. If you already have two, it is already called a group. Of course, optimally it is ten, but from two to ten it is nevertheless a group in which you can work. In five people you can reach the end of correction, it is truly so. Don’t say that it is not suitable. It all depends on the extent in which you try during the day, every one of us and all of us together, maybe a few times a day we scrutinize our state and strengthen each other, and in such a way we see how another point and another point is a clarifying together in the spiritual work. This article we are reading now, these two states, is a very fundamental article. All in all, we need to see that there are always two states: either Klipa [shell] or Kedusha [Holiness]. Then, we need to constantly just locate - where am I, am I in Klipa or in Kedusha? That is what I need to know. If I am in a state of the Klipa, the knowledge of this already shakes me and I try to somehow get out of it. If I am in a state of Kedusha, Holiness, then moreover with my friends, we make an effort to come to the Creator. That is, it. With the efforts of Klipa we have an effort to run away from our ego. In the effort of the Kedusha, we have together to advance toward the Creator. That is, it, let's go. A few times a day try to do it this way, and you will see.
S. But we don’t succeed.
R. There is no such thing that you are not succeeding. You are not trying to do what I have said. What I said right now, repeat it a few times, and see what I am saying and then, you will advance. If you understand that you are now in a bad state, then you need to connect between you and turn to the Creator to help you emerge out of this deep hole that you are in. If you are already in some form of connection, and you want to advance forward, then ask again from the Creator to help you, take you out of the current state to the Holy Shechina [Divinity] so that you will feel the extent in which in the place of love between you, you prepare a place for the Creator to bring Him contentment. Altogether, that is the formula. If you are saying - we, did it, and did not succeed, it is a lie, because laws are laws. If you say that you did them, it is a sign that you did not touch them.
23. S. (01:02:58) In our weekly meal, every week, I feel a lot more connection with the friends than in all the lessons throughout the week. I do not know how I can bring this to the morning lesson, how to feel them, that I am connected to the friends in the morning lessons?
R. What can I tell you, that is something else. That is one thing, and that is the other. In the morning lesson we learn, we work more with our intellect, we develop a little bit of our feeling. In the meal, between us, it depends on how a person relates to the meal. It could be that there are many more opportunities to open up in order to be close to the friends. The Kabbalists, usually, truly look up to the meals - to the fests, for them the meal is a holy thing. But it depends how you use the meal. I am happy that at least in the meal you feel yourself connected to the friends.
24. S. (01:04:25) When some confusion is created as it says here, and we cannot see the connection between events, and there are all kinds of such incidents, and we ask each other what is happening here, we remind each other that it is coming from the Creator but the situation does not become clear. That state where it says that the light. Should come from above, how does that happen?
R. That needs to give you a justification to turn to the Creator, a justification addressing the Creator. That is, it.
S. What is the difference between us, just saying it?
R. No. Turn to Him, I said. The fact that you are saying that all is from the Creator, it is considered that you don't have, from this point onwards, what to do, but turn to Him. To either say thank you to Him for what He did, or to ask from Him. One of those two things you need to do. If you are saying that there is no one else besides Him, either you fall from the degree of Adam to the degree of beast, and you do not want anything.
S. So even though I do not feel?
R. It is not important to me what is being done with me, it is not important what the Creator wants to do to me. What is important to me is how I now identify my state, and from my state turn to Him to make every state, from every state that we go through, a state of prayer.
25. S. (1:06:41) It is written, ‘I will hasten it.’ Is this the way of Torah? How can we unite this desire and this rush with patience and adhesion with the Creator’s will?
R. We can connect that, because, on one hand, I am in the upper force and there is none else besides Him. I need to know that here only the Creator rules, that it really depends on me what will happen, on one hand. On the other hand, everything depends on my exertion. But it is not that I want to quickly reach something, but rather I want to quickly come to bestowal to the Creator. It is a completely different clock. I'm holding on to this stopwatch and measuring how much I can advance to the Creator in order to bring Him contentment, in what can I bestow to the friends in order to help them advance towards the Creator to bring Him contentment. That is how I count my time. It is a completely different timing than that which we are in right now.
26. S. (01:08:45) What is our common work together opposite the disturbances that the Creator sends us? It is still felt that we are failing the incorporation in the ten, at the end it feels like personal work to justify, and to overcome.
R. Very nice to really justify and to overcome. Justify, overcome, and then once more justify. The first justification is that the Creator gave us all kinds of disturbances and it's confusing us, distancing between us, He is between us in such a way. Overcome it and try to connect and turn to Him to help us to come closer to one another, and then once again justify and give thanks.
I expect from the women for them to really succeed to somewhat connect between them above all the different kinds of calculations. Then, they will turn to the Creator from a true measure of connection that they have attained between them, and we will feel the extent in which the Creator clothes them, how much He is in them, how much He is feeling them. Women need to truly give the example, how they rise above their egos and thus, make a vessel for the Creator's revelation in them.
27. S. (01:11:03) From the article, it says that the Sitra Achra [other side] makes a person sing, so as to say that everything is incidental that brings the person thoughts that everything is incidental. Why does the Creator want the Sitra Achra to bring the person such thoughts that make him say that the world is controlled, is working incidentally without Providence?
R. Because it breaches the reality of the Creator, it erases the Creator from the world. Then, people begin to run after all kinds of means of how to arrange the world by vaccines against the pandemic, I don't know what else is out there, elections for governments and different things. What do you want to add?
Reader: Climate conferences, there are many such things.
R. Yes, the struggle against climate change and all kinds of other things. If we are talking about the fact that everything is ‘none else is beside Him,’ and it depends only on one reason which is the extent in which we connect between us and are close to the Creator, that we have to do. Cancel all these organizations that have no benefit other than burning billions of dollars and confusing everyone. Let's do just one action instead of 1000 actions which humanity is trying to do upon Earth. Only one action, and that is to come closer to one another and ask the Creator to perform a connection between us and clothe this connection so that He will enjoy the fact that we open an embrace for Him. He only wants one thing, for us to, all between us, as one man open this embrace, and He will come to us and we will hug.
28. S. (01:13:31) The more we study the Articles we get a greater and greater feeling of distance from the Creator in terms of our qualities it appears as though we cannot achieve the goal so how can we arrange the work in the 10 in order to see progress instead of distancing?
R. First of all we see this in every wisdom. There's kind of a joke, that if you enter a hospital then whoever knows the best of medicine and the proper treatments is the cleaning woman, she can tell you this and that and things will be okay. It is an exaggerated joke but nevertheless there is some truth in that. If you talk to the big expert then the more you learn the more confused, he is. They're these and those opinions this is for and that is against. Amongst the experts there are all kinds of doubts and struggles. That is how it is with us and therefore we need to understand that this is called in the wisdom of Kabbalah one who has knowledge or information adds pain and suffering. This is how we advance.
29. S. (01:15:13) You said that each one inside and everyone together need to scrutinize this state that they are in, how do we scrutinize in the 10 our state?
R. Our state maybe we can diagnose by ourselves let's talk about the connection between us, let's say we have a 10 and let's see, can we say about ourselves that we are connected, connected even to a small extent. Each one lives in his family with his job, his relatives, this has nothing to do with it. We are talking about that part in the person that yearns for the Creator, the point in a heart that exists nevertheless in each and every one of us. That point do we want to connect it with the points that exist in each and every one of us and we see these points coming into a single point included of 10 points and we can push this point to the Creator where we want that point to enter, can we do it or not? Can we imagine it, let's talk about it. Try and insist on it if you can't imagine it then ask the Creator to shine for you to give you a more precise illustration depiction, a description of the state. You will see that you are nevertheless in that tendency and there's something of it in each one of you. Your men and women out of 8 billion people in the world, you are a unique man and woman I'm speaking to you right now. Try not to lower yourself but to raise yourself, each one needs to see in the others great things. This way you are entering ascending to the Creator.
30. S. (01:18:32) What effort do we need to make in order to repent and attain the revelation of the Creator?
R. If we are in a state, in a bad state called Shechina in exile, this is the world has to states a state of suffering we do not know what we are drawn to, our future doesn't shine to us. If our future would shine to us at least we could justify the current state. I do not feel good but I can see that through it I come to a good state. This is how we need to arrange the states in this way. From anything that we can say about it that it is wrong, we have to say no, that this state is correct because it is on the way to the good future to holy divinity. From the state of torments and pain to the state of Shechina. That’s what this article is teaching us, this attitude has to be permanent in the group and we have to relate to it this way. Our life is either torments and suffering or Shechina, in the middle it’s a beast.
31. S. (01:20:10) It seems the spiritual work is divided into two, working in the ten, connection above resistance and working in a personal way towards each and everyone’s disturbances, where do these two things connect?
R. In our hearts when the hearts connect. I'm telling you if you wish to solve any question, all the questions reach the correct solution only according to the degree of connection between you. You connect with women and also men and everything is fine we connect, no. You connect and you bring that problem into the connection and you discuss this problem, why you are in it and you discuss the problem. You used to be in this certain conflict, resistance, hate and then you learn from it how that revelation of evil that you found in yourself, how it brought you to the good state. This evil that was there before is the foundation of the current good state. These steps left right, bad good bad good, they have to be extremely clear with us otherwise we can't tell how we are doing, how we are advancing, how to advance further. We have to consistently express these two states always. Where the bad becomes good and after the good again it becomes bad but already, we are on a higher level and the good on a higher level and in each and every degree, left then right left then right. That's why we should clearly detect our states and we will see the Creator advancing us and we will see how we can actually participate in this advancement.
32. S. (01:23:06) Based on this article it says, a person may browse in a book and hang it’s hope in the Creator and his study should be based in faith and that he has faith in the providence that the Creator will illuminate his eyes and then he becomes needy of the Creator, then he has contact with the Creator and by that he can merit adhesion with the Creator. How can we build the foundation of our study in the manner of faith?
R. We wish to obtain faith through the study, very simple. Faith is the force of bestowal, the force of Bina. That is the main thing we need and since we already have the will to receive, the upper light is above us without limitation in absolute rest. Our problem is how to connect ourselves, our will to receive with the upper light. We need to receive the light of Bina inside our will to receive the light of faith and then according to the degree of the light of Bina that’s in us, inside this light of Bina the light of Hochma could shine. The light of Bina in full and the light of Hochma in full that are inside our will to receive that used to be corrupted, this state will be the end of correction.
33. S. (01:24:58) If I feel connected mostly to the friends who wake up for the lesson and less to those who don't, what should I do?
R. Try to inspire more friends to get up for the morning lesson, what can I do. Even those friends who do, you still have to work with them, there is no other choice. Not everyone receives such an awakening to get up, I don’t know, it seems that is hard. I saw people, I used to carry people to lessons, drive my car and wait outside the door, you name it. But I didn't know what to do, you have to try. Today we are studying all through the internet, it is easier on the one hand and on the other hand it is not so simple, I understand. That is why I am impressed by those women that get up in the middle of the night and you have a lot of work during the day, a woman works all day long, it is truly well done. Women who join the work of the Creator invest many more forces than men especially. It doesn't matter if they understand less, the attainment does not depend on wisdom, Hochma. Wisdom is the upper light that comes according to one’s exertion and a woman exerts way more than men.
34. S. (01:27:30) How should the relation be within the ten of women, where some of the women are coming to the morning lesson and some of them don’t and we are talking about women and not the men?
R. I understand we talked about it more than once. For women it is a little different because each woman has a much more different state compared to men. A man gets up, goes to work and comes back home, I don't know. He has more free time, let's say, less obligations compared to the woman. A woman has a way more greater overload. I would relate those women who cannot get up for the morning lesson with understanding. In principle I do not demand women to get up to the morning lesson. Whereas man, the man who wants to advance has to get up for the lesson and a woman she can work according to the state's dictated by time. Whenever she is capable and there are children, the household in addition to studying and working by themselves as well. In other words, women according to their exertion, women have more opportunities to advance quicker to the revelation of the Creator compared to men. That is what I expect of them.
35. S. (01:29:41) The connection between the women in 10 is sufficient or there needs to be a general connective connection across all of the women, if so, what do you recommend doing?
R. Only after they feel one time that there is a connection between them in the 10 where the 10 is one man and one heart, according to that, it will be possible to approach a connection between the tens.
Reader continues (01:30:40) “The important thing that one should know and feel that there is..”
36. R. (01:31:46) That a person would think that everything is incidental and we try with all
his might to see reality in such a way that everything comes from Providence from on upper force.
Reader continues (01:31:59) “...however one must believe in reward and punishment…”
37. S. (01:32:58) What is it about suffering that without them we cannot attain the purpose of creation?
R. How to put, to move a person if he's an animal, only through torments.
38. S. (01:33:25) He writes about two paths, hastening versus suffering and we have the privilege of being aware of these two options. Will the general public understand that or only in relation to what we do?
R. This is how we work up, if the world would come to recognize the crisis it’s in then we have a problem there. The world will turn to us with a demand for what to do because they will feel that we are seemingly guilty of the world's bad feeling. We do not bring the world the upper light, the light of correction. Then how can you look at the world, how can you look at everyone if this is how they feel that you are guilty of all the world's problems. What will you tell them how will you respond. This hate will be revealed towards all those people who yearn for the Creator. People would feel that in those people who yearn for the Creator that they depend on them. Then we have to be ready to explain to them how the correction needs to be made. Just imagine what it would be. On that it says that all the people in the world will rise against the people of Israel. Again, Israel is Yashar Kel straight to the Creator it is those who yearn for the Creator. This is already a step before the revelation of the Creator to everyone.
S. Isn't these open relationships better so everyone knows who to blame instead of everything being concealed?
R. Not everything is concealed, we are talking about it openly. Before our time you were not able to talk about it but now talk about it, speak freely to everyone but no one listens when there will be more problems. We will also be stronger and closer to the source of light then it will be clear to them that they will need this special force from nature, not from above from the Creator but from nature. It will be clear to them that we are on this path and seemingly interrupt them from approaching that force. No, it's written about it.
S. But it is a state that’s much better, that we will be blamed and asked for directly openly?
R. But you can't do it because no one will listen, you're explaining it now as well. Who, but you knows that we are trying to explain these things and we do not want to hide anything from anyone in the world. But you know how they still cannot see, cannot hear, cannot even detect that this is important for them. Instead, there will be a few other such events from nature and they will feel that there is no other choice. Whatever the mind the intellect doesn't do, time does. We have to see it in the Prophets.
39. S. (01:38:20) Why hasn't Bnei Baruch been heard yet, is it up to us up to humanity?
R. It depends on us, on humanity the upper force, everything has a time and although we wish to sanctify the time meaning to accelerate the time, nevertheless as much as we are trying to do according to our strength and our abilities, we see that it is not enough, it is not reaching people's eyes. They still feel that they can change the world by burning less fossil fuel or other things, that is on one hand. On the other hand, we see that nature which in Gematria, is equal to Elokim to God and on our level, it changes very quickly and we feel the changes in climate, and the attitude of the Creator to humanity through the pandemic and other things. Soon it will become more and more apparent. Time will come, we have to do as much as we can, on the other hand we should not run ahead of the Creator.
S. The pressure that will be upon us in the future you are describing such a reality, such pressure on Bnei Baruch, will it weaken us or strengthen us?
R. Of course there will be pressure. But I hope this pressure will also be a positive pressure because once they become interested to start to ask and to pressure and push us and we will have what to offer, there you go, we have everything, every language, here's what to do, we have experience and how to connect in short everything is present. More than what we have we cannot say but everything that we have you are welcome to. And that is how we advance.
Reader continues: (01:40:48) “yet he has already forgotten about it... “
40. S. (01:44:10) You said that it is necessary to speed up the time to accelerate time. Is it not against nature?
R. So what? According to nature we have to advance according to the Reshimot that come out from the Malchut of Ein Sof and gradually according to the clock of the Malchut of the Ein Sof and we can accelerate these times by yearning each time in order to bestow. Then we advance, we accelerate the time, it is written Israel accelerates the times. He who is Yashar Kel, Israel, straight to the Creator, he accelerates time first for his development and by that he causes the whole world to move in a better, more comfortable, faster way towards the end of correction. Therefore, that is why there is a complaint by the nations of the world that the Jews are guilty of all the troubles in the world. There is a feeling in the nations of the world. This feeling is in fact correct except the difference is that they do not know how to solve this problem. It is to pressure the people of Israel those who can be direct to the Creator. This is like in the times of Abraham, the same is true now, it is not dependent on any nation or anyone's nationality. Rather when a person has a point in the heart, a spark, these people have to be given an opportunity to get work on themselves in order to connect to the Creator and to draw the light from him and to rise towards him.
41. S. (01:46:56) How to find the adequate meaning and necessity to bring the awakening from above?
R. This is with the help of the group. The direction is correct but the person cannot reveal the correction by himself. Look what it says in the ancient books of Kabbalah, the matter of correction was revealed to a few individuals. How much you can advance and towards what you can advance and then they wrote it down and gave it to us. Only in this way we can find the path and the method. Later people come from each and every generation, in each generation and its teachers as it says. During our time it is mostly mainly Baal HaSulam, five hundred years ago it was the ARI and so on and so forth. We have to advance accordingly.
42. S. (01:48:30) He writes here that a person becomes needy of the Creator the moment he feels the study is dry but mostly I forget to turn to the Creator. You just disconnect, how can you remember?
R. What can I say, you have a group, you have friends. It was all set up in this way so each will help its strength. By yourself you will not be able to do anything, you will not be able to remember the purpose of creation or how to take one correct step in that direction. Because one step towards the goal means a step towards the friends.
S. But I'm not always in touch, in every moment with the friends.
R. A few times a day when you can be connected you should connect. Listen to the articles, to the music, anything which keeps you connected. That is, it. Of course, you cannot be all the time in the lesson but trying to build such an environment such an atmosphere.
43. S. (01:50:10) Where to put the emphasis on accelerating in order to prevent suffering or to increase the work to bring contentment to the Creator?
R. No, we should not worry about sufferings, clear and torment. Because we will not get anything with it, we should only aim for bestowal, connection with the friends and connect them into the Creator.
44. S. (01:50:47) Should we do some actions towards humanity or just pray for them?
R. That is a problem here, we haven't scrutinized it, we haven't opened it yet, where is our work with humanity. Where is the connection between us and with humanity, that is a problem. For now, we need to understand that what the Creator is arranging us, for the connection between us and our organization and how we connect, concentrate and see we are so connected, more respected. We have to see how much in the process humanity is undergoing is connecting us, applying greater compression between us because the solution will be when humanity won’t know what to do and will feel helpless both from all the climate blows and other blows from the pandemic, economic blows. All kinds of things we will feel, we will feel how all the plagues from Egypt, all those blows begin to reveal themselves Throughout the entire planet on the general level together with that we will need to explain to all of humanity that there's nothing to do here. It is like Pharaoh said about the Egyptian plagues, that it is the Finger of God coming from above, from our nature and we have nothing to do here. Meaning to do everything possible physical yes, but we will see that it will not save us, that the only thing that saves us is connection. We need to then, not some Greta or some politicians somewhere rather, we will have to explain what the meaning of connection is and why specifically that the upper force brings us all of our nature to balance harmony. That other than connection we need nothing. As much as it is opposite and against our nature, that is what can save us.
S. According to the article he says that if we correct our deeds, we will see that there is no suffering and pain in the world, so does it work the same in regard to our attitude to humanity or how our whole group relates to humanity, the more we connect ourselves, to correct ourselves.
R. The difference between us and humanity is that we have a method and that we need to apply it and feel that through the connection through the 10 we receive help to advance to greater mutual bestowal. Specifically in the connection in the center of the 10 likes from a well, we're drawing the water, the light of Hassadim that connects us and by that we can mitigate this entire huge ego human ego with a light of Hassadim and that is how we can advance. Whereas humanity by itself cannot do it, it does not have access to that well, that light of Hassadim. Therefore, they will turn to us, we have to be prepared to show them the message, the path and this leadership, how to arrange things.
45. S. (01:56:13) How do you always give confidence to the ten and the other people even though I myself?
R. Forget about yourself and then you will succeed. Forget about yourself. You exist only to help the friends, to connect the friends, to serve the friends. Then you will succeed. You got it and about yourself don't ever ask about yourself.
S. Can I ask another thing?
R. If it's not in that style.
S. About what you said just now. To forget about myself, can you explain how to do that?
R. You can't explain it, all you have to do and feel it inside. If you can't then ask the Creator to help you. That is, it. Start caring about the others only. About yourself just to make sure you eat, drink, sleep to the extent that you need to sustain yourself only. All the rest for the rest for the sake of society. That's it and no more questions. No more questions. All the rest don't ask. All your questions are nothing for years. Do only this, I have nothing more to answer you.
46. S. (01:58:28) If we take into account that the Creator chose us and now something is required of us, it turns out that humanity is only driven by suffering that it goes through now, the suffering in the future, it is not interesting for them. So, what is motivating if we are talking about the suffering of the past, what should drive us, the future suffering of humanity, what about now what should push us forward?
R. We need to advance not through fear of the future. Will I remember about the past and I can imagine the future, not from some great big reward that is waiting for me, some special box of chocolates. We need to feel between us, responsibility for the whole world, that has to be our motivation, that we could bring the whole world to the Creator. That is what he is expecting of us. Where we can, the whole world, we can move the whole world towards him. To correct them through us of course, to correct them, to fill them and to enjoy it. We do not belong to the world. We do not belong to the world because this spark in us that is pulling us, that is pushing us towards the purpose of creation, it does not belong to the human mass. Therefore, we must connect between us to have a great common spark between us and the Creator and connect the spark as much as possible and to fill this spark with a force of the Creator. But in truth we do not belong to humanity and also not so much the Creator, we are somewhat in the middle. We are the conduit, something for the time being they need us, the Creator and humanity. This is the only reason we are here, the only road we are needed for. Once this role is concluded and humanity connects with the Creator, we disappear. Meaning we will be incorporated in this general vessel and we stopped existing, as something strange that sticks out. Rather that is how history ends.
S. I understand that it never happened before in history that the whole world listened to the Kabbalists, but in practice what desires do I need to discover in the friend which I need to fill?
R. Only the yearning for revealing the Creator and from this we need to explain to one another this can be done only in the connection between us and for years we explain to one another how this needs to happen. Only the connection between us, in the connection between us and as much as we go deep into it and care for it, we begin to attain the Creator. Come and see, where, inside between us and then we obtain the connection between us to that special degree of course in this resistance Shoresh 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Then accordingly we attain the light of the Creator inside that connection between us inside the vessel. That is what we need to learn how to do.
S. My desires and yearning for the Creator, that I can feel this yearning in the friends or is it egoistic?
R. I feel that to the extent that I annul to the friends and through them to the Creator, the Creator is the internality of our connection.
S. So I am looking for my longing for the Creator to be fulfilled?
R. Of course you should not think about it, what are you cheating yourself? We do not let need to let go of any desire that is in the direction of the group and the Creator.
47. S. (02:04:54) Why is our responsibility towards humanity in the feeling is hidden, that this responsibility should not let us sleep, it feels like for you that it is really on fire?
R. Yes, it is really burning for me and I felt it almost instantly when I started studying with Rabash. from these articles of Baal HaSulam, it was extremely clear to me. Because the development of humanity was very close to me, where it is developing, towards what it is developing, by which forms, by which formula, by which we evolve, what is happening with humanity. Why are we going through such times? Then from one transition to another, we erupt in wars and problems and so on and so forth. It really grabbed me, I wasn't really so concerned about this world but my that, on top of that you can discover the upper governance. So, it turns out that here we see a connection between this world and the upper world. But this connection is through humanity at large and we {no translation]
S. What basically should humanity demand from us and what can we supply today?
R. Humanity feels it for generations, from the first man, since Adam. When we came out of Babylon and we entered the land of Canaan, we can see how this group more and more used to be connected to the upper force. No one knew what was going on inside of it but the hate towards it, the instinctive hate towards it started to develop more, more in the nations of the world around them. When they entered Egypt, they came out of Egypt, all of it was accompanied by a special attitude from all the nations of the world towards this group, the group of Abraham that simply felt strange, an oddball. Even in this group there were all kinds of problems and divisions, in truth the center of the group are people who needed nothing corporeal, no corporeal form whatsoever.
But there were others who demanded where do we have something that we can, some way we can connect corporeality, spirituality as Torah tells us, they started building all those things like the ark and all those things, those are all spiritual concepts that have to be purely spiritual. Later the temple, they didn't want to build the Temple, there was the real war, why do we need this building, this edifice. We need to build it inside of our hearts, inside our heart as far as possible from corporeality. But nevertheless, they were those who pressured and demanded we need a certain symbol, a certain something also relative to the kings who was King David and all those others it was not required, it was not required by the most internal. But the people demanded the common people. We will talk about it at one point. There are such sayings about it, how the Creator didn't need it. This general force all of it should have been expressed only inside the connection among the people. We understand that when it comes to great numbers, you have people, customs, women and children, daily lives and you can’t solve all these problems on the spiritual levels alone. That is why they needed also to construct all the symbols that exist or over the nations of the world. More than that, they built them in such a way that from that group, the Jews, everyone took those symbols with minor changes, minor modifications. They took him there into Christianity and Islam and it was something undesirable and something they didn't think about and it's caused a lot of great deal of trouble to the people of Israel. But the fact that they themselves planted those seeds for those differences between them and others because they had something to hold on to the people. But from the very beginning it needs to be a people and nation without any external needs, everything needed to be spiritual.
S. e see the throughout history there is there two axis that are advancing in parallel. We need to see that something is happening completely on the corporeal level, it is happening now that is developing on the certain direction and also for us in Bnei Baruch it is developing spiritually, so what is the meeting point, how do you see how it will happen?
R. I cannot say. Humanity will continue to develop corporeally, materially. It will be ready to accept and to digest certain counsels and devices, forces that are nevertheless spiritual. This depends on people's external development. We will come to it you will see.
48. S. (02:13:52) I have this feeling that on the one hand there is humanity and then there is mutual guarantee with a group and the Creator?
R. You're right eventually this will all be.
49. S. (02:14:23) He writes here about the prayer, that a person doesn't see his answer to the prayer right away but needs to understand that he might receive an answer after a few days or months after he prays, I want to ask what is an answer to prayer?
R. When it becomes clear the state that he was in, that stressful state and suddenly it appears, it is revealed that he sees a solution in it and that can come after a few months. He thinks that he developed in this way and he forgot about his questions and now he's getting his answer and there's seemingly no connection between the two.
S. So what is important here is to basically to merge the deficiency or the request so that it comes to the awareness?
R. It is not that important, everything connects and works out. Maybe not the minute that you received the answer but the little later where he comes again to similar question and answers. We do not need to think about it, we need to think only about one thing, that the connection between us in order to bestow to the Creator and that is it. Other than that, nothing should bother me, nothing should concern me.
50. S. (02:16:12) You spoke before about the symbols that people of Israel built and there was this struggle between building them and we're just focusing on the hearts. So, when we are now going back to the last generation to the spiritual ascent will we need spiritual physical structures and symbols or will we be just able to go forward without the external expression?
R. I think we will have less and less interest in the external expression. All of our world Kli, all of us. We do not highlight those external differences except for what works towards the connection between us. In practice like meals and songs, conventions, those sorts of things. Other than that, I do not think so.
Reader continues (02:17:34) “There are two forces that contradict one another...”
51. S. (02:19:56) How is it possible to achieve such a concern for the world like yours if we are doing this intensive work in the 10 which fulfills us and gives us comfort?
R. Why are we in this work in the 10? In order to bring the whole world into one 10. This is the final correction. That is one thing. Besides that, I wouldn't stress this deficiency if it's not inside the person is not there. Especially in women, a woman can be closed at home there's some women that barely leave the house, according to the Torah the woman is called the house, a home, it is all hers. Therefore, it is not a problem. We need to only arrange the tens. If a woman can come out of herself towards the 10 then by that she's doing a great work and indeed she is under the influence of the Creator.
52. S. (02:21:35) Is it perhaps good to rearrange the woman's tens according to participation in the lessons?
R. I do not know. Maybe, yes but I'm not sure it will help where you are the way you are organized that is each one has to lower her head and connect with the friends. Period.
53. S. (02:22:47) If a person in whatever suffering he has, he justifies the Creator before the suffering is mitigated, is this called raising the Divinity from the dust?
R. Yes and on the way to that.
54. S. (02:23:30) Why do we need to be included in this world if we are really not from here with ourselves detached?
R. You asked beautifully, we need to be, also the women, need to be in this world and be incorporated in this world and connected to the Creator to be a conduit to humanity. That is what Baal HaSulam writes in the Arvut, read the Arvut and you will see this is what he says here.
55. S. (02:24:26) Question about MAN, we talked about half the lesson now. Is it correct that what comes as a response to the prayer we get as a response to their prayer is something that in advance awakens the prayer in me?
R. Yes, that is correct.
56. S. (02:25:01) you said that we do not belong to the humanity, how should we relate to this statement?
R. That according to our desire we are between Heaven and Earth, to be a connector between the two. Read the article of The Arvut and see what it says there.
S. You told us about Shamati, that Rabash told you not to show the other students. Now we all feel that Shamati is our whole work, our entire work is there in the Shamati. The question is how did they study, they were Kabbalists who achieved attainment without it?
R. You can study without any books, when the heart opens up more and more the person receives more directly to heart then knowledge, the feeling, the understanding, everything is received directly. But of course, through these articles we awaken our hearts and this is how we advance
S. You said they didn't have the left line, that Rabash told you that they didn't have the left line, that is why they shouldn't receive Shamati directly.
R. Yes but today we are in a different state. Just imagine if I would hold on to the Shamati articles, more than Shamati I have 1600 recordings from Rabash and I give those away as well and they are being used and other than that I have many written notebooks where I took many notes by hand. Let's say when we were in the park, I had no tape and I was not allowed to use it, but I could write. He always allowed me to write.
56. S. (02:27:26) You say that a woman can be at home and not even go out anywhere and that is sufficient, what then to do with that concern for the world if I do not come out of the house?
R. You can come out. I'm just telling you by nature a woman can stay home, I just said it, that is the woman's nature. Today people can say this is incorrect but they say today tomorrow we will get back to it.
57. S. (02:28:15) The question about the order of the work in the 10 and praying in the 10. How correct is it to say that the blessed Creator that blesses the Moon and the Sun?
R. Why are you even talking this way?
S. I have such a ten and there was such a question in ten where the friends are adding such things and immediately everyone…?
R. We do not need anything except for reading the articles of Rabash and Baal HaSulam, the book of Zohar, those things, that is it nothing else.
S. The friend who added the sentence that we need to bless the moon she says it is written in the Zohar.
R. When the Zohar speaks of the moon and all those things, it does not refer to those corporeal objects that I need to jump towards the moon and bless it. These are all spiritual matters. If you do not hear from me, why are you even talking about it? Did I ever say you have to do it this way? To do all those rituals, those ritualistic ancient acts. You are going to start dancing around the fire, look for your shadow and other such things? It is written about a lot of things but it is written only about spiritual matters, only about spiritual matters. In our world there is not a word in the wisdom of Kabbalah that talks about the world, it talks about the person's desire. So, stop with all these red strings, amulets no, all of it does not exist, it is for little kids who love to hold on to something in their hand, it gives him confidence. That is how we are, no, stop with everything. The person has to be simple, pure, works, he learns, it is well.
58. S. (02:31:32) I hear in the programs and in the lesson that you are describing a very difficult state that humanity is going towards because of lack of connections, on one hand. On the other hand, I hear in the lesson that you said to put an emphasis, you said today regarding the women's tens to put an emphasis on the connection and everything. So sometimes I have thought that maybe the corrections will come from that spiritual structure that we build in our connection. The question is in our time do we really need those external things or is it only always built-in connection between the people internally?
R. The future of the world depends on the connection between people. When people come to such a connection that the Creator will be revealed between them and the Creator will be King over all the land and on that day the Lord will be one and His name one for everyone. Red, black, white, yellow, all the people in the world, they will all find out that there's one upper force and he obligates all of us to connect to be revealed in us fully. Then this image of this world disappears with this poor Earth and we will all begin to feel a different reality and we will talk about it next time
