Morning Lesson July 23, 2021 Transcription
Item 56 (0:45) “You should know that all the NRNHY we have spoken ….”
Item 57 “Now you can understand the aridity and the darkness….”
1. S. (04:21) In item #56 we read that we correct ourselves to get the qualities of NRNHY and the flavors of the Mitzvot / Commandments, what are they?
R. How is it possible to explain to you what it is, if you haven't tasted it? There are all forms of attainment, different forms of attaining the actions of the creator.
S. He just writes that you have to engage in Torah and Mitzvot / Commandments in order to attain Ruach, what should be the intention to receive this?
R. We aren't yet engaging in Torah. Torah means that we receive the light that reforms which works between us like we discussed in the previous part of the lesson today, how we enter the Ibur/impregnation; we demand the upper light to take care of us in to strengthen us, to organize us in such a way that we become, as one man and one heart. Then accordingly, we will advance. If we engage in organizing ourselves in a single system then we will gain first of all the aspect of Ruach. After we establish our system, we have our system and we feel it on the level of Ruach, we can then enter more deeply into what is the kind of connection between us, what happens there inside our connection. Then accordingly like he writes to us, we need to engage in the secrets of Torah according to its value: this is the Neshama and then Haya and Yechida, It is all about the advancement in the forms of connection between us and we can't say any more than that now, because it depends upon what we attain and how we receive it, how we understand and feel it. The wisdom of Kabbalah and generally the Torah is very practical and very much to the point and it is only understood by those who attain it. For those who don't, why do they write it and why do we disseminate it? In order to encourage people to develop and ‘through your actions we know you’, that is the rule.
S. How can we describe in simple words the degree of connection that we have to aspire towards?
R. That we are happy that we complement each other and all of us together become one body. The upper light that comes to us, really connects us to one system and in that system, we ourselves begin to work toward the Creator and the Creator begins to work through that system, upon us.
2. S. (08:22) Atzilut is the deficiency of the others and that is where all the coupling and the correction are?
R. Yes, Atzilut is already a complete spirituality. That's why it is called Atzilut from the word Etzlo, which means in His domain, in the Creator’s space, in GE, vessels of bestowal.
S. So everything that is revealed in Atzilut we have to take it in ‘above reason’?
R. Yes.
58. S. (09:18) Baal HaSulam is speaking from the importance of the goal that the most important thing is to accept the Ruach, that we want to keep ascending. As we say the importance of the goal and Dvekut / adhesion comes first, and then he says that the flavors of the Mitzvot/commandments are the easiest, more than the secrets of the Torah, and in article 57 he says he cannot elaborate on this, yet he elaborates in other places. What is the first step that is right for us, for disseminating this wisdom?
R. To disseminate or to understand it?
S. To pass it onwards.
R. I don't think we need to talk about these things to everyone, it will only confuse them and create rejection from the wisdom of Kabbalah. This is just for us, those who want to enter as we discussed; conception, which is the most important and the first entrance to Ibur, is the hardest. So we have to try to do this action by only asking that the Creator will guide us, connect between us, organize us, to give each and every one and all of us together, guidance. For that we need to do what is up to us, to connect between us, to study and pray, all of that.
3. S. (11:42) This example of the group following the smart one like the blind following the smart one is like us following you, but in our group who is the wise one standing at the head of the 10?
R. The whole 10, which connects and through its connection, has a connection to the Creator who bestows upon them and together they feel, they have to feel how the Creator accompanies and guides them, carries them, then they will feel how they will have to go through one state to another.
Item 58 (12:48) “However, I do know the reason: It is mainly because ….”
4. S. (15:28) What does it mean to be warm in the light?
R. To use the light in order to advance so that will influence my qualities and correct them to raise me on the spiritual ladder.
5. S. (15:55) Our 10 is asking about item 57, who are the blind ones that have to engage in Torah and draw the complete light from infinity and how can we prevent the generation from falling?
R. That is related to the state of modern society and politics and I don't want to get into that at all. It depends upon if our leaders are wise and good, then they lead us to the general correction, the final correction, the complete redemption. Out of our great egoistic desire into the will to bestow and the connection between us to the final goal which is 'love your friend as yourself', from each one to everyone else. If they don't work correctly then we see ourselves, from generation to generation: We fall, decline, get confused more and more until we forget why we exist.
6. S. (17:38) We learned that the only way to ascend is connection and also we learned that it's not the understanding of the mind that is so important, so why does Baal HaSulam explain everything so deeply?
R. There are two things here that we shouldn't get confused about. On the one hand, there is a lot of wisdom here and we need to learn and know the degrees and paths through which we need to advance and that is through the mind, through scrutiny, we need to put a lot of power into this. On the other hand, however, when we enter the path and want to advance in it then there is annulment and this annulment also requires a lot of wisdom. What do I need to nullify towards, whom do I nullify before? So don't think that now we just need to cancel our brains and emotions and just become something that lies on the ground and that is it. No, I am not dead. I don't cancel my mind and emotion but on the contrary with my mind and emotion I have to do a lot of actions, intellectually and emotionally to reach a point that is above my emotion and my mind and completely dedicated myself to the upper force. The development is actually not through erasing myself, I am concerned about myself and the group in a sense that only through our mutual annulment to each other, we cancel ourselves towards the Creator and to that extent that influences us to advance as an embryo, and then we are born and advance as an infant, until we achieve the complete correction. It is not that we don't want to work with our mind and emotion, we need a lot of mind and emotion in order to nullify, and then to receive in exchange, spiritual mind and emotion.
7. S. (20:26) What does it mean that the Kabbalists installed a ladder for us?
R. The role of the Kabbalists is to give us the direction like Baal HaSulam does, and our role is to take this direction, study it and try to implement it. So how many Kabbalists like that do we have? 1 in every 10 generations. We have to try to study from what they wrote, what they left for us or even what they taught us, how to advance. In this way we will advance.
S. What is the ladder?
R. The ladder are those degrees that we have to go through in our annulment, from the degree of root, 1,2,3, 4 and that way 5 x 5 x 5 is 125 degrees; and in this way every man and every group and all together, until we reach the full and complete connection
S. The Kabbalists established this ladder?
R. No, this is the upper light that creates it from above downwards, the Kabbalists just explain Creation they didn't create it.

S.
(22:22)
The
endless
pit
is
only
for
Israel?
R.
Only
for
Israel,
meaning
to
those
who
only
want
to
ascend
and
attain
the
purpose
of
creation
and
the
rest
of
the
people,
the
ninety-nine
percent,
don't
want
to
attain
the
purpose
of
creation,
they
don't
have
such
a
desire:
It
is
not
that
they
are
in
fault
or
falling
behind,
not
true,
the
Creator
gave
those
more
desire
and
the
others
less
desire,
only
when
we
speaking
about
the
work.
But
the
end
of
Correction
is
equal
to
everyone
as
each
one
attains
all
and
is
connected
to
all
and
is
implementing
it
all.
On
the
path
there
are
changes
and
every
man
helps
his
friend.
So
those
who
have
a
desire,
a
big
yearning
for
spiritual
attainment,
don't
have
a
lot
of
forces
and
they
need
to
work
harder
in
order
to
connect
to
the
Creator,
then
connect
to
the
AHP
to
humanity,
and
pass
all
of
the
abundance
from
the
Creator
to
humanity
and
humanity
must
connect
to
them,
as
we
learn,
in
such
a
way
they
will
work
with
one
another.
S. Humanity also needs someone wise who will lead them?
R. The GE, meaning us, we are the wise one towards humanity, from the word Pakach meaning, to open his eyes and see forward. Humanity doesn't have eyes, you see what they are doing, they have no eyes.
S. And they too will achieve NRNHY?
R. They will achieve everything by connecting to us, and thanks to them we will also get the NRNHY as we are lacking the vessels of reception and by this we will mutually help one another.
9. S. (25:04) He spoke about leadership before. Is there anything we can do between us to find that quality?
R. We just have to try and get better in dissemination. As much as we will go into dissemination and organize it more in a stronger and broader and more approachable way, by this, from us more and more people that are successful in it, will come out and disseminate the wisdom of Kabbalah to the general public, and they will be our leaders, the leaders of humanity.
10. S. (26:03) What is this degree called sage or wise one?
R. The sage or the wise one is, the one who attained the degree to its fullest: that the light of Hasadim (mercy) can clothe in it and also the light of Hochma (wisdom) and in his attainment he can see the future, and that is why he is called wise.
11. S. (26:43) Baal HaSulam writes that the first reason is that faith has diminished. Why did people decide to go after science and philosophy and not the internality of the Torah?
R. Who decided that, people who fell throughout the generations to philosophy and all kinds of wisdoms that is because the wisdom of Kabbalah didn't live in the people and it was prohibited to reveal it and that was on purpose in order to let you and humanity go through a timeframe of darkness. That it would be like in the Middle Ages where they don't understand and only learn and study like machines and then we come to our days from the time of ARI, to our days, that a new generation came that did not know all of the previous generations and they have a desire. Our desire to achieve our teacher, meaning the Creator and then we have to supply them with the method of attainment.
S. So the fall from the degree of faith was necessary?
R. Also then, what faith did they have? Just that the timeframe of darkness had to come so that after that a new generation would rise just as we see in our times. It is just like that to take place in this way. We see all of the billions of people in the world as much as they are completely disconnected from the purpose of life, from the source of life, why they exist. Nothing. Our earth it’s as if it’s flying through the darkness in this vacuum of the universe and for what and why. Where is the reason for all of this? Nobody is asking. The darkness is still going on and we will need to start expelling that darkness. That is why I am saying that the study of organizing and disseminating the wisdom of Kabbalah is what we need to do and then for certain we will give contentment to the Creator and reach the correction.
12. S. (30:16) Can an egoistic person annul himself towards his friends by force or only the light can perform that?
R. Only the light. What do you mean a Kabbalist, this is a regular person who has a connection with the Creator who can invite the light that reforms to fix him, to correct him. If he discovers discernments that needs to be corrected
S. I'm looking for the place to cancel myself and when it turns out I can't do anything, only the Creator can do anything. What I do is egoistic.
R. Correct yes, but you need to do it and you need to ask to discover what the change is that you want and that these changes will also be desired in the eyes of the Creator and with the friends you need to organize and ask the Creator to make these changes. Meaning that you have a lot of work and the Creator is just working by correcting and preparing for you and preparing an area for the Creator to work and by that you crown upon all the lands, all the desire. As he created it now he is correcting it.
13. S. (32:27) So it turns out that Baal HaSulam felt sharply for our progress into this pit that we feel now. It says that the wisdom of Kabbalah has become forgotten like he wrote, he said, I wrote The Ladder so that people can rise. By paving the path that every person can go deeply through that but it is not for every person even from the thousand people who come to Kabbalah only one can advance?
R. The ones who can attain are only few but in our times we are reaching a state where more and more people also feel the need to do and to enter the spiritual ascension even if they don't they feel the necessity, they feel the need for all kinds of reasons of why do we exist and what do we use this for and what is the end of all of this. What can we do in order to save ourselves from this pit? That is why in our times it is already different and everybody, millions and billions, will need and will join this movement that is searching for a way to correct themselves and the created world. The world means what a person feels inside him and how they can change their perception of reality. That now they feel as if reality is outside of them. That they will start feeling that reality is in them and only this is where this whole universe and the stars are. That everything is only in man and in this way they can change their reality.
S. Can we say that through our dissemination that we need to add some rungs to the ladder so that people will rise to it?
R. Of course, we have to add ourselves and build our spiritual ascent that will be mutual to everyone, to help all of humanity climb this ladder.
S. In our time, in our generation is it possible to formulate this ladder in a simple language?
R. This is why I'm telling all of you to start disseminating, writing and putting it into all kinds of places, writing short stories and something that people will get inspired by and in this way you will help humanity to advance. That is something that we have to do. Not to stop, you don't know as much as each one who is doing it is gaining. By this you are disseminating the name of the Creator in the world.
S. It turns out that in our time you said there is going to be a third wave and a fourth wave or even a tenth wave of Covid19 or something else. Do we need to tie this together to the ladder?
R. Yes, but we will talk about it more.
14. S. (37:05) You just said that humanity's progress toward spirituality depends upon dissemination, what do we need to communicate and what is the essence of our message?
R. The essence of our message in a gentle way is to talk about it that if we connect we take ourselves away from all the trouble to the extent that we are connected even in the nations and between the nations. We by this, cause the force of the good to spread between us and by that we will keep ourselves from all of the problems and troubles that are ready to come into our world and to bring us suffering. If we don't prepare ourselves, we will suffer to the extent that we don't prepare ourselves for connection and we will get the opposite. Nice and good action that will work in our benefit. We have no choice but where we can. We have to prepare ourselves for the connection between us and to see history that will come that will all be as nice and good and for our benefit and for the benefit of humanity.
15. S. (39:00) The final action of creation is to bring contentment to the Creator?
R. Of course and in this way when the Creator created to give us contentment on our behalf we have to do the same only in an opposite way from us towards the Creator in order to give contentment to him.
Item 59 (39:37) “All those who know the ins and outs of The Book of Zohar ….” Twice
16. R. (41:17) No questions about it we also don't belong to it as in our times I don't think there's anybody doubting this, just that we are lacking wisdom so he wants to bring himself out so he could be saying this.
Item 60 (41:41) “As for me, since the day I have been endowed, by the ….”
17. R. (43:45) This is not really belong to us as there are all kinds of arguments of who the Book of Zohar belongs to, it was concealed for many years and it was found supposedly by chance and that is how it is with all the writings of the Kabbalists, like the writings of the ARI also. The Book of Zohar is at least two thousand years old and ARI is 500 years ago and until they discovered them, they took them out of the cellar or some box there and started organizing them. There were problems with all of that and also it is not the actual writings of the ARI, it is the writings of Rabbi Chaim Vital who wrote what ARI was speaking about. There is an issue with the writings of the Kabbalists as it all comes from the state that the Creator gives conditions on the path in the way that he reveals himself to the created beings that he won't make any false forms of it. This is why he reveals that inner way that they are already prepared for all kinds of false actions. We are already after all of this, once Baal HaSulam showed up so Rabash came and we organized all of his writings and also the Book of Zohar and the writings of the Kabbalists that we reached a state that everything is before us in our website free for everyone in many languages, that we want it to be revealed in all languages, that we are searching for more and more people that can translate more, to organize more the text and the books of whoever can and whoever wants to can write us to boardworldkli@gmail.com That we can bring all the writings of Kabbalah to the regular person and also our lesson we are studying in this way for a year-and-a-half for 2 years according to the exercise, something like that. Also we want this style to be accepted upon the whole world because this I think is the most correct form, is short excerpts so that we can read them. On the other hand it is an excerpt by the Kabbalists, Baal HaSulam, Rabash as they are the last and the end of the correction, the strong ones that feel all of reality. This is how we can advance and read all of the books. We don't have time to read all of them but we are lacking time yet in this way we can learn. That is why it is worth going into dissemination as much as possible so we can see how it works.
18. S. (48:26) There is a community of the Latin friends that organizes that each 10 has a day in the week where each 10 leads the Zohar Community which is open to the general public with broadcast. There is a group of 6000 people that meet for the broadcast and there's video clips for an invitation with preparation of how to read the Zohar and we just review the sources of Kabbalah La ‘am. Today we had a meeting about the status of the project and about the friends who are making a great effort to read the sources to the public. It is something that is not too difficult but it is a direct teaching, but the Zohar is already known as important. We are looking for your thoughts and your blessing to strengthen us in the dissemination effort that all the Latin tens are doing.
R. I wished you the best of luck in this dissemination on behalf of all that are here to participate with you and whatever we can please bring us in there and pull us into this work as it is blessed I am really desiring for the time that we go through these Corona limitations that I will be able to come again to Mexico and South America to meet you and to be with you. No problem, it is all still before us. Thank you. He is a great veteran of 20 years I believe, very important as a pillar in South America.
19. S. (51:46) Baal HaSulam, even though he wrote so many years ago he saw the lack of life in his generation but when we look at them it looks different, he says the darkness was already there so what is the advantage in our time and how will we be able to communicate what he couldn't and was disappointed from?
R. In his time people thought that socialism and communism and all kinds of things, revolutions and everything they thought could still succeed in giving humanity a reason and understanding for why they are alive. For us it is not on the list of importance of people, we just want to drag this life out the way it is that nobody is putting any big achievements that he needs nothing. That is why everybody is truly despaired as I think now as all kinds of unpleasant forms of nature will just finish off all of this despair and we will advance to the necessity of the correction and then from no choice we will turn to the Kabbalists, to Bnei Baruch and to ask for the method of correction in order to at least in something mitigate the final stages of correction.
