Baal HaSulam. The Freedom (Criticism Brings Success; Lack of Criticism Causes Decadence)

1. R. (00:16) In sum total the wisdom of Kabbalah is the wisdom of connection you have to speak in simple terms that is understood by everyone then we have thousands of details meaning people desires to receive in a certain state called this world. These desires need to be arranged in such a manner that they all together will connect into some system that is whole beautiful good upper according to all its qualities. That to such an extent that the upper force that is eternal and exists before the system and after the system, it does not matter, it is above time, motion, space, above all of our corporeal discernments, that this upper force will be able to clothe ,that it will be suitable to the same system that will connect between us.

That will connect between us in a manner that is so nice and good the completion that is so whole that this upper force which is entirely bestowal entirely love will be able to clothe in us in its entirety. Meaning in sum total what we are learning is the wisdom of connection between human beings in sum total what we are learning is some study on the social system the ideal one that needs to exist in the human society. That we begin to learn the wisdom of Kabbalah we don't think that we need that nobody would be drawn to that but truly all the secrets all the concealed things, everything that we thought about about the wisdom of Kabbalah.

It is all in the order in the correct connection between us and thus wanted or not we are also with you in such a process of the entire humanity that we are all drawn to the new order of the world. So we will see what he tells us how this world needs to continue its path its correction until it reaches suitability to the Creator meaning it reaches a state that the upper force the force of bestowal and love will clothe in it in its entirety.

Reading “Criticism Bring Success; Lack of Criticism Causes Decadence” (03:23)

2. R. (05:34) As if the opposite as much as we are in disagreement separation from this we have the ability to reach the rest of the scrutinies and success so do not be afraid from the scrutinies the distancing it is actually specifically on purpose to correctly have the right attitude before us.

3. S. (06:06) Can you explain it why the separation creates greater intellect and understanding and not unity and connection?

R. From our life it is also clear let's say you go to school some work whatever everything that you are going to go and scrutinize something you are scrutinizing things that are not in wholeness and so from this you are learning how can we complete between them essentially things are opposite that they are not together in one body and so the knowledge of the separation is the first stage to carry with it to bring it to unity.

S. What kind of intellect is achieved through unity?

R. Through unity?

S. Yes out of connection is there a new intellect a new mind that is born?

R. Of course.

S. So how is it different than the mind that is born out of separation?

R. The difference between the Creator and the created being the created being feels all of reality in its details separated and the Creator sees all of reality creation as whole as one complex.

S. Right. The basis for the success of intelligence and knowledge is separation disagreement between them?

R. Yes, this must be at the foundation if there is no disagreement no separation they cannot learn about unity.

S. What does disagreement beget and what does connection beget?

R. Disagreement gives birth to the need to reach unity because they feel with disagreement they cannot act they cannot attain they themselves are harmed.

S. Without separation disagreement has no beginning of anything?

R. We as created beings cannot live in a state that is called unity to feel it as unity because we have no knowledge on separation from before and so we always need to reach from bad to good from minus to plus, from separation to connection.

S. What is the addition we get from the unity from the plus?

R. That you see His essence His uniqueness His wholeness and all of this you as a created being can scrutinize only from the contrast from the dark and the light.

4. S. (08:42) How can these two different approaches live together on the one hand criticism and agreement of views on the other hand unity especially when we speak about the big world in our group it's clear?

R. Look it takes a lot of time much knowledge understanding scrutinies and the willing to bear in order to scrutinise the truth and it takes time there's no other way about it there are such societies in humanity that are ancient. Therefore in their advancement they have reached a state where it is forbidden to have wars it’s forbidden to be separated etcetera etcetera. So they understand their entire advancement needs to be by way of love covers all crimes, that one's crimes become revealed you cover them with connection. Again crimes are revealed on a higher level and again you cover them with connection and that's how you would advance, you know it's like in a family, if it's a normal family then it understands that there have to be different disputes and every time above the disputes you need to bring completion, peace. That's how it is every time on every level and every state and there can't be day without night and the day comes because previously there was night. That's how we advance, so it is in the relations between people, so it is in the relations between countries and so it is in the relations between us and the Creator, it's all the same. Let's hope that humanity will understand this and we need to give an example for it in every ten every person in every family in whatever we can according to our ability.

S. This degree of criticism is it something essential it has to be? Let's say a certain nation will be able to attain a certain unity or they can also retain it without criticism?

R. You see what it says, how it's called criticism brings success that without criticism, we cannot reach success. How can you scrutinize the correct things if there are no corrupted things in front of you and you scrutinized these corruptions and you know where do they come from, you know how to correct them and you know how to bring these corruptions to their right form.

Only in that way, you as a created being, can reach the degree of the Creator wholeness and perfection by scrutinizing every detail in creation. How opposite,how separated it is from everyone else and how it's possible to arrange everyone into an ideal system, what follows is that when you look at the whole of creation, that it could never be ever that they will be correctly connected. It's impossible that they'll be in a correctly connected system it’s impossible and suddenly it turns out that it's possible, that it can be that it will happen.

It's not something that you see immediately but only after many efforts and that's why you'll see that those that can do it is that group from ancient Babylon that includes representatives from all the different nations that existed back then, in ancient Babylon, that they're included of the group. That this group is included of and that that group wishes to reach a corrected state and and we'll learn about the changes and the different below and torments and whatnot that this group went through how much they killed and burned and beat each other and the different processes that they went through, how much hate there was among them, among the Jews. Eventually, it's all in order to scrutinize that there needs to be connection, it's not over yet, it continues now, not physically the way it was a thousand and two, thousand three thousand years ago.

There were such things that it's really unbelievable how they killed and burned people Jews, how they killed and burned each other, how they fought each other and from that we see from that we need to see how we nonetheless advance towards connection and completion. Then you'll see that the small nation, the Israelis, the Israelites within themselves have already gone through all of these wars and that there were such strifes and collisions between them that they carried all people Greeks, Egyptians ,everyone to the same. They pulled them to be involved in all the wars between the Jews and that's how they've learned until this day who they are today, they don't know who they are either but soon it's going to clear up quickly.

5. S. (15:55) What's the status of this group today from Babylon till today what's happening with it?

R. On hold.

S. What's that mean?

R. On hold because they're not active because today you have the nation of Israel.

S. There's something.

R. Something what.

S. A group exists, I don't know.

R. Just some group of gypsies and I'm apologizing to the gypsies that simply fled from one place to another where it’s better for them in the meantime they gathered here that's their status they have no status. Do they somehow pertain to divinity as Baal HaSulam says there's an opportunity for correction but that's it and we got this opportunity from above as well.

S. This group of Nomads that were wandering around the world, what does the Creator want from them now?

R. Connection that's it like it always was all throughout thousands of years.

S. But everything was activated and like you said Romans, Egyptians ,Greek but now there’s like.

R. There were always such intermediate phases and now is the time now is our time that as quickly as possible get organized and to show that in humanity is there are nonetheless, representatives of all nations that are together with us in our connection above the general ego that in that we want to be like the Creator to come closer to him this is actually our work nd we don’t care about anything besides that.

6.S. (18:13) It turns out that what's important is not the actual arguments but the way they are scrutinized?

R. Both.

7. S. (18:32) From what we just read it turns out that we can connect by the resistance of opinions meaning in intellectual things and we need to connect through emotions is that right?

R. Yes, eventually ,yes.

8. S. (19:15) We say that it's better to not criticize and from the 24 hours only half an hour to criticize so how do we prevent criticism in becoming war?

R. I don't understand what you're saying what wars are you talking about.

S. Wars of ego or wars that can destroy?

R. We're not talking about wars we're only talking about the inclination toward connection that's it you have to make the difference between what he tells us about humanity and what happens in our tens in our tens we’re drawn only to connection this is what we talk about in this is what we study about.

S. We can't get to war between us there were groups that disappeared?

R. Groups could disappear but it's not because they're fighting it's because they don't understand they disagree with our direction with what Baal HaSulam’s writing eventually look what he says in his articles in his letters everywhere he is talking about connection. We see it from our history too and heard a lot about it from Rabash that this is the main thing that we need to do, nothing else is important only our connection as the central force around which the world too will be able to connect and therefore our entire dissemination needs to be to dissemination for connection. We want to see a world as a new society that which understands that their salvation is connection.

9. S. (21:20) I don't understand the structure that he says in the bodily things the success is in connection and in opinions is in separation and criticism can you explain it?

R. Certainly if we are engaged in bodily physical matters that we need to perform the action so the more scrutinized it is, the more we can succeed whereas if we like scientists are in our opinion then the more separated we are not separated in terms that we’re distant but that were connected but in dispute about who’s right like this who’s right like that but in a goal-oriented fashion in that we can advance more that's what it's all about. In your mind you can be in different disputes, have different opinions and this will bring you more success, we know that if you want to advance. Suppose you’re developing some new machine so it's good for you to open several departments that you'll have one group of engineers a second group of engineers, a third group of engineers and that they will be in dispute with one another resistance competition. Then you'll get something good from what's possible because their desire will always be to succeed beyond the others, that's how it's done in big companies when they develop something then they have several departments and every department acts in and of itself and then they check to what measure, can we connect things and get the maximum use out of them.

S. In what do they need to be connected those two departments?

R. To one goal they have one goal you build and they build the same cup you make and he makes and then we see what's more what's less what can we arrange from all the possibilities.

S. How do we make sure it's not to destroy the other for my own success?

R. There needs to be a goal special unique goal above them that this goal acts that it pulls them that we build that we're building something special and that each understands that he is in competition with the others which is very useful and beneficial okay I think these things are clear.

Reading: (24:45) “The deterioration and failure stem only from the lack….” Twice.

10. S. (29:26) What does it mean that the love of the body naturally brings with it the proximity of views do you have an example of that?

R. Yes. Suppose no matter how much we talk about it, it won't help if you and your son have a difference in opinion then nonetheless that opinion becomes closer to you, one way or another, it becomes comes closer after you discover that it's connected to him that it comes from him that it belongs to him, you know in a simple way, but the thing is that one should not stand in the way of the other if we want to reach the right kind of criticism. Like he says that criticism as a means criticism brings success lack of criticism causes decay so we need to make criticism, let’s call it objective, so that it will it will be independent of, you know, different closeness, different nice good things, bribes, someone's afraid of something. Whatever it has to be very goal-oriented targeted and then in that way you'll have the correct and good results and decisions.

11. S. (31:16) What's the difference between the individual and the ten?

R. An individual can't be like the ten but the ten has to be like one individual, connected and then all the opinions that they have in the ten, to some extent, it will be similar to the opinion of the Creator ,the opinion of the upper degree. If you want to jump from one degree to a higher spiritual degree then for that you need to connect together in the ten even though that you want to kill each other, even though that you want to kill each other but you're ready, you're willing to be connected and that your connection will already be as one even though that you're not similar and you disagree. Because if you agree then that's not wholeness, it’s not completion, wholeness and completion is a result of there being a lack of agreement between your opinions. No one bends towards the other, no one's afraid of the other, it needs to be each one needs to be able to freely express his opinion but all in all, above that, what you come to is a consent, a higher degree because you attain, not you, any of you individually but you in the form of your connection, you attain the opinion of the upper of the Creator. That in that way He dresses in you and you start discovering that's spirituality, that's the answer ,this is what we've expected or have been waiting for and then it's clear to everyone that that's the truth, that it doesn't belong to anyone but that the upper force comes down upon you, fulfills you, because you are willing to be in mutual concession in order to accept his opinion of the Creator.

S. Do we have to wait for everybody to be ready for this?

R. We needn't wait for for anyone we don't have to wait for anyone we need to work between us for us to connect correctly and that's called the revelation of the Creator in the created being.

12. S. (34:17) Why do we need the development of opinions and knowledge?

R. Because the more different they are the greater is the revelation of the Creator.

S. Towards humanity why do we need more development of more knowledge and more opinions?

R. They are advancing too everyone as it says that all shall know me from small to great so there are those that are in contact with the Creator and they are as a transition for humanity that all of humanity too needs to ascend everyone needs to reach the spiritual degree.

S. Maybe a different question how development of the goal is to receive what the Creator prepared for all of humanity so what about developing knowledge that that's where the Creator is revealed?

R. The more developed the more different they are from one another against one another and therefore in the connection above the contradictions between them they come to a sharper resolution a feeling understanding of attaining the Creator.

S. Is it a different kind of pleasure?

R. Of course, the big pleasure the greatest pleasure comes as a result of the resolution of doubts, they have doubts that you're about to explode, that you can't do anything and they really tear you apart. Suddenly it all comes together, none of them disappears, none of them takes control over the other but all of them sustain one another and give you a whole and complete solution. As a result of their wholeness and completion that you don't understand how is it possible that they are so opposite, so opposed and when they connect in their oppositeness, the wholeness and perfection is revealed and that's how the Creator is revealed to us, how could it be that ten Sefirot ,nine that are all opposed to one another come together and bring us the form of the Creator His image?

S. How is the pleasure of connection of the bodies or the developing of minds where does that meet?

R. In man's heart in the Malchut.

S. A different kind of pleasure comes out of it like a third kind?

R. Pleasure as a result that’s already the Creator.

13. S. (37:36) In the ten we need to see every friend as great because the Creator is behind every friend and we have to criticize his opinion his behavior whether he comes to a lesson or not?

R. I need to respect the friend because the Creator has given him an invitation to the Creator the Creator wants for him to come close and therefore that person has some kind of attraction to the Creator and that's why he comes to our group sometimes. When he sometimes comes we need to see sure the Creator can give him a whole and complete desire but He gives him a minimum desire and probably that He's leaving it up to us He’s giving us the opportunity to help the friend and thus advance because that friend by not coming regularly or something else. He's showing us the place of work where do we need to put in our exertion in order to connect even more and these are steps towards the revelation of the Creator himself meaning that the Creator through the friend shows us what are we lacking in order to reach him. the Creator. So this is what you need to work at and not to disregard it or make an egoistic calculation that we are and he isn't we come to the lesson and he doesn't but we need to feel these things as our obligation, our commitment.

14. S. (39:58) It's a bit similar. What's objective criticism in the ten?

R. Objective criticism needs to be only in relation to the purpose of creation by us needing to discuss what are we missing in order to reach connection in order to reach the purpose of creation that we don't look at who observes who doesn't which of the friends does or doesn't. In what way but we look at our forces what are we lacking how many forces what kind of forces do we have to add into our common dish that we want to add into it all of our possible forces and will that be enough in order to reveal the Creator in order to buy the revelation of the Creator by it.

S. So it's not like private qualities of a friend?

R. Yes, mainly it's our connection that's the main thing I can't talk about some qualities of one friend or another it's not good I won't be able to examine them correctly evaluate them correctly because anyone who blames others does it due to his own flaws so mainly what we need to work on here is the connection our connection.

15. S. (42:10) This scrutiny has to be more clear where we need to restrict ourselves to annul to put the screen because the ego is closer to the body and feeling and my desire to receive I don't need to restrict the top intellectual part of it?

R. We need to restrict ourselves only in relation to others where I make as much room as possible for the other in my desire in my heart that's it.

16. S. (43:00) The desire the criticism are they the same thing or are they different things if they are directed toward strengthening the connections in the ten?

R. No, this is something that we need to scrutinize and again wherever, if your image, if your picture, if your video does not appear on the screen I can't to take your question, I don't want to hear your question. I'm sorry and even if you have some kind of malfunction, some kind of problem back to you need to arrange it.

17. S. (44:10) If there is no criticism in the ten does that mean that there's not enough work in the 10?

R. If there's no dispute in the ten this I don't get but of course it's due to lack of work.

18. S. (44:29) Does resistance to mutual scrutiny of important things stop the advancement in the ten?

R. Yes.

19. S. (44:40) We feel in the ten that without disputes we can't reach love so can we say that the disputes in the ten that the Creator has given us are disputes of love?

R. We need to scrutinize whether it's correct.

20. S. (45:02) Disputes is the most precious thing we have but still what’s that discernment that scrutinies for corruption or correction?

R. You need to check and see is it so or not.

21. S. (45:21) Didn't you say we have to annul in the group in order to unite now you're saying that we grow when nobody annuls?

R. No, our criticism is in order to correctly anull toward the group.

22. S. (45:42) Is what's written that the opinions in humanity won't come so close so that the dispute is canceled? Does that explain that wholeness is comprised of colors nations and so on?

R. No, wholeness and completion is a result of us receiving from above knowledge of the Creator because actually the Creator is our correct form of connection Bo Re come and see Creator.

23. S. (46:17) There's a fear that after the article between the women we might get un building criticism please give us direction for the day.

R. The direction for today is that we need to reach connection so that this connection will entirely be good bestowal toward each other.

24. S. (46:41) The difference between faith and mind should we reach a state that there's no difference between faith and mind?

R. That's still not time for it.

25. S. (47:02) What does it mean that mind is part of the first nine Sefirot?
R. The desire is the Malchut and the intellect are the first nine that are revealed to us from above.

26. S. (47:21) It is written about spirituality that every little sum accumulates to a big sum is that accumulation of the pennies concealed from us?

R. Of course but it doesn't matter. We all in all need to see that we’re willing to concede to each other and together take another step forward.

27. S. (47:45) Why is the faith mentioned in the article considered corporeal temporary and disappearing?

R. We don't know what's written in the article afterwards we will criticize what it says about the definition of the concept of faith.

28. S. (48:09) How can we turn faith that is intense and influences a person and 100% from something temporary to something constant?

R. This depends on the group if the group is engaged in it then it won't disappear it's all only in relation to the ten the Creator is now showing us everything in relation to the ten that even if in the ten there are one or two people that can receive a higher degree they will not receive anything but what all the the entire ten receives in general.

29. S. (48:48) You mentioned wars how do we make peace?

R. By each developing to understand that you don't attain the truth and war that wars achieved only in the connection between those at war and precisely the fact that the wars becoming revealed and will become revealed more and more between all nations between every part as it says man's enemies or haters are his household so much so we'll need to understand that is all in order for us to reveal from all these crimes all these contradictions all these fights all these things that from that we will discover a place of love.

30. S. (49:50) If we take the current war internally the scrutiny of who's in control man or the Creator will the wars in corporeality end?

R. No wars in corporeality will end only when people will be able to transcend their ego to the degree of connection.

31. S. (50:20) You mentioned that the wars in the countries can end but there's wars between one ego to another ego when will that end?

R. The same applies here there's no difference between the collective and the particular when they'll understand that rising above the ego is the only solution that can be implemented by man country or the world.

32. S. (50:49) You said that motion time and place are results of the will to receive can you explain that?

R. No, not now we don't have the time for it.
