Morning Lesson July 31, 2021 Transcription
Title “Rewarded—I Will Hasten It, Not Rewarded—In Its Time”
1. R. (02:37) Do this on your own, on ourselves. If we accept the laws of development and we want to carry them out then we advance fast and those who don't want to, then they develop by nature. And then you have people who advance very quickly to knowing the system of nature and the Creator and they raise themselves to a level, a height of development and forward towards the final correction and there are others who in the meantime live as if there are thousand years before us, not thinking about spiritual development, not awakening. So it all basically depends on man’s level of development and his development also depends on his Reshimot/ records, and how much he adds to these records, his own efforts.
Continue reading (03:38)
2. S. (05:40) I want to understand this thing called rewarded because all the friends are making an effort. What is this method of being rewarded?
R. Each one of us has a Reshimot from the shattering of Adam HaRishon, the system where all the vessels were connected together. When the system was broken meaning the connection between us was broken, each one now lies under the influence of the upper light that works in everyone, but each one awakens according to the records left from the shattering, from his disconnect with others. If according to these records he advances, meaning responds correctly to being awakened towards connection with others, then he enters a system which begins to explain to him, awakening him towards corrections. And then he becomes a Kabbalist in that he receives the Creator's providence, the Creator’s leadership, and that's how he advances. That's what happens. So what was the question?
S. Question is: ‘rewarded’, is that a system?
R. That depends on the Reshimot that exists in each one and then the upper light that shines. It shines every moment a little bit more and more. And by that it changes the times and development of all of mankind. So each one awakens with his records gradually more and more, but there is still a difference between the records of different people. We see that some people long for spirituality like yourselves, because the records in them awaken this way, and other people still don't hear or feel that it is required. The Reshimot don't awaken them to search for ’why do they live’, for what purpose should they live for. And so they just continue with corporeal life and that's it. No one is guilty if he doesn't long for spirituality or the other way around. That’s just part of the general correction.
S. And if I finished working on my records?
R. Of course, each one who works correctly on his Reshimot, nurturing and developing it, relating it to the Creator, he becomes a conduit through which the upper light reaches the very last degree which is our world. And then he becomes a partner with the Creator in correcting the creation.
S. Can we say that all the Reshimot are a form of integral...
R. Of course, and each one who corrects himself somewhat helps everyone else’s progress.
Continue reading (09:34)
3. S. (11:28) It's written that we have to develop the evil qualities.
R. The upper light influences the person, its light of complete bestowal. The quality of bestowal that's the upper light and then a person feels how opposite he is to the quality of bestowal and how worse he becomes from day to day and then if he begins to understand that this awakens him to resemble the upper light to receive these qualities of bestowal on himself then the advances and if he sees that he becomes worse every day and he doesn't understand why is this shown to him then he falls off the path and he doesn't want to advance. Why feel each, and every day worse that is what's written that in the same path of the righteous who walk towards the final correction, the righteous should walk and the wicked should fail. Meaning that we always have to hold ourselves and explain to ourselves in each and every step that the recognition of evil, is the revelation of evil within us that appears, so that we correct it. It's not our evil it's on the account of the Creator who said in advance I have created an evil inclination and I show it so that one who feels that he is evil he will need the spice of Torah. That is the light in it, which reforms and then he will come to a state of being complete good, the level of the Creator
S. If we can be more precise, the bad qualities come from the Creator?
R. Of course, the Creator says I have created the evil inclination. There is nothing that doesn't come from Him, both the good inclination and the bad inclination, the light and the darkness. All of it. We just need to discern, what do we want to cling to, what do we want to relate ourselves to, bestowal or reception?
4. S. (14:36) From the 8 billion people on earth who has the freedom of choice of in his time or hastening the times?
R. Each person that receives this awakening has to realize that he is receiving a free choice.
S. So it's a few thousands from 8 billion?
R. Yes, I have said more than once that just like there is a microprocessor in your head that they say is a very tiny thing, a few millimeter in diameter and it basically govern the whole brain and the brain govern the whole body, it is the same thing like us those who are awakened you see; Baltia, Latin, Moscow, Turkey, MAK, Haifa and so on, that is it, these are the people who are getting awakening from above through which the Creator want to influence and activate the whole system that all. Now when the system becomes round and circular everyone is interconnected then there is no difference between great and small before and after everything becomes completely integrated.
S. But we learn that the Creator didn't want to create robots or angels but humans so how can we understand that built 8 billion robots and just a few people?
R. No, it's actually the opposite. You are more of a robot than them. You thinking that you have free choice. The free choice that you now discover and want to work with they don’t have and so you will see later how that free choice works in you and how does it works in them and then you will discover that there is no preference between you and them in anything, ultimately we all come to the same level of wholeness, a circle, a sphere.
S. I understand we all reach the same point, but about the freedom of choice where does that exist in everyone?
R. that needs to be revealed. We still haven't found the place of free choice.
S. Except for that, where does humanity have freedom of choice?
R. Then we will see where they have it too. We have yet to discover it. Do you understand you can’t discover these things yet, it will all unfold according to the levels and degrees.
S. He wrote that we have to measure everything not according to what it seems but according to the measure of its development. So if we are speaking about a green apple, I know how to say that it is only 10% of its development because I know the way it develops. If we are speaking about humanity, let’s say the Covid-19 I don't know if it's 10% of what it is supposed to do or 30% of what it is supposed to do?
R. You don't need to know. In a beastly way, bodily way, what we need to know we know, in a spiritual sense we don't need to know, we don't know what we don't need to know and the level of development we will get to know. But you can’t start guessing what could be bad and what could be good. I rather have to see things as according to the rule the judge has no more than his eyes to judge with.
S. So if I don't understand the process of development, let's say of Covid-19 so the whole path will be in the fog without knowing where we are?
R. Yes of course, nothing will help you here. Do you know all the rest, we are now facing natural disasters on all directions, all levels; still, vegetative, animate and speaking. Things that are going to cloth on to humanity from all directions and on everyone, on the whole planet. Nothing will help you here.
S. It's not understood then, where is this freedom of choice in this process?
R. You don't have free choice, who told you, you are free?
S. We just read in the article that there is due time and hastening times.
R. It's not about you. It's about those who have an opportunity to either advance to the Creator or not. But if they don't have an opportunity, the whole of humanity has an opportunity? No. so they are like cattle that is how it is. We need to reach a state in which we discover our free choice and then through us we can pass it on to them and then they will relate themselves to us and together with us we can’t do it without them they can’t do it without us and this way together we will all move towards the goal.
5. S. (20:36) How to relate correctly in the work to suffering and blows?
R. Try to accept them as directing you to the right goal and the more you relate yourself to the path, to the Creator, to the group then accordingly you will discover the truth. I have nothing more to say. It all depends on the level of choice that we choose correctly. I hope that soon we will organize each and everyone's necessities in the 10 and then will begin to feel the necessity to connect between the 10s, to one big 10 of Bnei Baruch. This can happen only by seeing that we are in a very dangerous state, and we will see that humanity is in a very dangerous state, with all of these plagues at once. Then from that we will appreciate our study in our connection and thus we will advance. There is no other choice, the laws of nature are absolute.
6. S. (22:26) Just to make sure, everybody will have to go into hastening the times at one point as due time is just to move us towards hastening?
R. Hastening can happen in very, very lowly souls only to the extent that they annul themselves they need to reach annulment but an active action in connection in bestowal they can’t do. That is the coarseness on the level of root, 0 and then only by annulling themselves as extra support that’s how they move but on the other hand they have a very big role because in mass, in quantity there are many and everything begins from the still. So when you look at all of humanity, these levels of still, vegetative, animate and human you have to look at this pyramid where the still is basically 99% and then the vegetative is 99% of that 1% and then from that percentage there is another 99% of the animate level and then from that percentage you have the speaking level. So it turns out that the speaking level is this 0.0001 of the percentage of the whole of humanity. Look at the amount of people that we are in terms of quantity, I don't think that there will be many more, maybe a little more will come. You don't need more, all the rest are activated through the pyramid.
Excerpt Title (24:45) “Good and Bad Are Evaluated by the Actions of the Individual toward Society”
7. R. (26:54) Meaning nobody revolving in his life because he is supposed to do that he's realizing his role in the world and his role in the world is connected to everybody and from this he will learn about the connection with everybody and then understand why his destiny is as such otherwise he will not understand.
Continue reading
8. R. (27:51) We can't say on any person whether is good or bad only to the extent that it benefits or harms the others collective but on himself we cannot weigh him.
Continue reading
9. R. (29:28) It's not an obligation that the collective will know what's good for them but all in all there is this general formula, the general goal that each and every one whether he knows it or not, bestows to the collective good or bad according to that he determines his destiny.
Continue reading
10. R. (31:03) That is the formula for wholeness, perfection.
Continue reading
11. R. Tell me about everything that you have a question about ask it.
12. S (31:16) If the individual and the collective are equal then why is the measurement only towards the public and not the individual? Basically we are saying if the person harms himself then he harms himself.
R. How can it be that he harms himself?
S. We don’t consider that?
R. If he harms himself can he participate in the collective, he still does, he is part of the collective. He was born that way, he exists in that way and he can't slice himself out, so even if he says leave me alone I don't belong to you, that's it, it’s not true. That's why a person cannot remove himself from society, he will always be connected because it is one system and he will always need to calculate what he is for the collective and what the collective is towards him. If it was possible to remove yourself from the public and fly away from here, many people would have preferred it. We're constantly doing it in life. All my efforts in life, is to not be dependent on others to be independent that's it. As much as I can move further away from everybody by that I feel more secure but it turns out that the correct correction is opposite, that confidence is not to separate me from everybody building a storage room, building an armor, building something to prevent natures blows of good and bad, heat and cold, lack of water and food all these things, it won’t help. I need to turn my nature around and understand the truth, that I cannot run away from nature from integral form it has and I must only be as connected as I can to nature, as much as I can to humanity, the more I can cause them good, the more can promise myself that through them I'll get the good upper force.
S. Why is the measurement towards how much a person harms the public and not how much you have themselves?
R. Correct, but it doesn't mean that is harmful directly towards the public, he is not taking away from them, he can’t measure it.
S. So the whole thing is whether it is directly or indirectly, the measurement is directly and can we look at people in corporeality in this world who are in positions of influence and can create huge damage to the public, can we say that they are on a higher level of development?
R. Evil, bad.
S. Evil of course. But is it supposed to be transformed to good?
R. At some point of course, I can't tell you through which cases or causes but everybody will turn around, they will be inverted. Let's hope we will see it soon for sure we will see it in this incarnation or sometime but we will see it let’s hope soon.
S. and the system is not supposed to awaken such people just before others?
R. No, they are clogged, they can’t, that is called the hearts of the ministers are in the hands of the Creator.
S. But These people cause the most damage and trouble in humanity.
R. They are working like that to awaken the public. It's not that they themselves want it when you see a government worker there doing something or doing altogether, it is all coming from above, not that I am justifying them but that is how it is.
13. S. (36:06) I sometimes catch myself thinking that I would like humanity to sometimes be shaken very well.
R. You must grab yourself in that thought, that you are willing to do anything so that humanity will understand how they can change in order to bring humanity to the good correction, without suffering. You must relate to them as the most closest beloved thing to you and in this way to try and do it.
14. S. (36:56) The feeling of the one that's been part of all isn't that something egoistic there?
R. You can always say that but it's not the action itself, what is the action for that you are connecting. It could be fascists. You know that you connect together like a flower bouquet that is called fascists. You can take some kind of a gang of criminals or like in Japan that you have the Yakuza as much as they are connected between them it doesn't mean that the connection is good, connection for what purpose.
S. Towards the Creator?
R. Towards the Creator, if you want to bestow to the Creator and connect, obviously it's good because by that you will become one and become closer to the Creator that's it.
15. S. (38:22) Seemingly things are very obvious, yet we see humanity keeps moving towards oblivion, why is there such concealment in the world?
R. Because humanity can only take example from the Kabbalists that they are the same kind as humanity and they are working on the same level of humanity, this is why we must take that role.
S. Meaning they will never be able to understand the system?
R. No, everything comes through the head Rosh and we are drawn to the source, the force of nature, so that's why we are called Israel. Straight to the head, Li Rosh. My head, that’s Israel. That’s why we are obligated to open the whole map for the world and explain what is going on and how we can make changes. Otherwise it will be horrible for everybody so that's why we have come to a state where we exist now, that we're in the juiciest period, the most important period. That if we don't reach a connection, that if we don't tell everybody about it, the world will advance onward in blows and I'll be in it's time not in hastening the time.
S. But we are telling everybody but nobody listens.
R. You have to do what you are supposed to do you have to be the Creator’s messenger and except for that nothing try to connect in that way to humanity on one hand, and on the other hand, with the group together to the Creator and then through you the Creator will already start bestowing. It's not that you will bestow, what we want to draw attention from humanity towards us is just that they connect but to the extent that they connect we also need to connect to the Creator and then by that we build that pipeline, a line, a pipe. By that, the Creator can fill it with the upper light and correct everybody. That form has to be clear to each and every one.
S. On the one hand we know that the solution is only in connection between us, on the other hand we need to prepare ourselves for states of shortages of water, food. How to treat these two opposite or maybe they complete each other?
R. I worried about that once that our group will have some kind of a food storage or something, because we weren't in the state of really the Last Generation as we are now. Today we are in such states that we don't have anywhere to run to and we need this connection between us to activate ourselves spiritually towards the Creator.
(42:17) Title “Practical Difficulties in Determining the Truth” Twice
16. S. (45:41) Where should we be cautious in order not to harm the public?
R. The public shouldn’t know what they can't digest correctly. It’s like a baby, you don't give a baby something to hold that can harm him. It's the same thing with the public, you need to tell them and give them things that can benefit their development and what will not benefit their good development then don't open it, that's it. If we keep that, we will advance nicely, if we don't so no. Look what happened with the nuclear bomb and all kinds of things that scientists who aren’t responsible, released it into humanity and now we're in a state that we can destroy all life on earth. If the Creator wouldn’t guard this state we would already do it a few times. That's why all of our work is to understand as much and what is for our benefit and what isn't and to try to keep that border. That exactly brings us to keeping the spiritual actions which are restriction, screen, reflected light the acts of bestowal and then for sure you will not cause anybody damage and not to yourself and bring everybody to the best state possible.
17. S. (47:50) Please say, Baal HaSulam wrote in the last generation in this gradual way about why different regimes fell apart and didn’t work. You say that unpleasant events are waiting for humanity, we, Bnei Baruch, are not so impressed by that. Why don’t we run forward to be faster than the press of development. Also Baal HaSulam wrote in the last generation that it should not only be education in the new society, it has to be based on spiritual reward, so what are we really lacking in order to be impressed by you and this and reach spiritual attainment and drag all of the human society with us or is it a natural process and we just go in this gradual way and go through the process that we need to go through blows from the Creator?
R. Spiritual advancement is only in the hands of the upper force, according to His quality, according to the records that He's awakening in us. This is how He works and He doesn't depend on anybody or anything about this because it's one system which is entirely in the force of bestowal which is entirely good and does not work from lack of time that it's late for anything like us or not. Also for us that the lack of time that we are talking about is only through our ego. As you're asking now. That's why we only need to reach a state, first of all, that we understand that if we are in bestowal, we have no difference between the past present and future, whether it happens or not and how and what. Because I am devoting myself to the upper force I must do what I'm supposed to do however after everything all decisions come from him. I must bless the good as the bad. That's why we still have to correct ourselves and see the upper providence in the correct way.
S. You somehow calm us down that if I miss something then the upper force is in control.
R. that is the way you are interpreting this. I didn't say that. What we are supposed to do we have to do with all our might and as quickly as possible. I am not telling you that you are free and you can go into retirement. There is no retirement for spiritual work. But not that we need to demand, you can demand from the Creator a bigger correction but that's only to the extent that you make a preparation, that depends on you. Then there's no problem. So then you will feel that from the moment you're giving preparation on your own, right away there is a response from above. Try and you'll see.
S. Can we say that when the Creator hurts humanity, I need to relate it to myself?
R. The Creator bestows on everyone, mainly on humans.
18. S. (52:14) The new states we go through happen in opposite qualities, contrasting qualities. If we were able to feel this innovation, we would feel every moment as a miracle but we live in a state that we feel cause and consequence, how can we attain this two systems?
R. You are given exactly what you need in order to go in faith, meaning in order to cling to the Creator and go through faith. That if more would be revealed to you like you're complaining now that if we would see and understand more. Then your ego, your will to receive would have been filled by it and you wouldn't have been able to go out into faith above reason. It is all the upper mechanism organizing you, that in this way you are set up in order to exactly determine where the Creator is and you are and you can be along with Him in mutual work, that you annul yourself and ascribe yourself to Him. It will come, if you hear all of our lessons this is what we are talking about.
19. S. (53:51) If we look at the western culture, western society we see that the individual rises, that he takes all society hostage. It seemed opposite to nature that the individual becomes almost more important than the public, what is the Creator showing us here?
R. Who told you they're right? Who said that they're developed? They are developed egoists, you want to take an example from them?
S. I'm looking at the dialogue, the discussion you see that everyone's a little different now, everybody needs to be recognized now and get the focus of society.
R. Yes, that is our ego demanding in that way and we will be demanding more and more and along with that the blows will be revealed and along with that will discover that nature is opposite form that until we reach a determination that we have no choice but to annul everything and ascribe ourselves to the upper nature.
S. So the change for these people who now feel an awakening, they will have to go through some inner change? Feeling of some inner deprivation of sorts?
R. Not deprivation, they will see they did not see the truth and the change will be quick.
S. They will see that society will be more important?
R. Of course that it will be for their benefit, what they really want to attain, something good. The real good for them is in society.
S. So what do they really want to attain, really that is the question? What causes a person to detach from society and turn around and grab society by the neck?
R. Man doesn't understand that in society there is the upper force, there is internality and a person's wholeness and when he will get some illumination from that he will annul himself and want to cling into there.
S. Where is his uniqueness?
R. He's uniqueness will be by working on himself in order to adhere to the upper force by that he becomes unique, the one unique and unified. That there is no one like him and everyone are unique in that way.
S. Meaning that all the differences that I see in myself, maybe weaknesses that I see in myself or the separateness that I see, specifically that I will be able to turn that into some unique connection to the society.
R. No doubt.
20. S. (58:40) So what do you recommend to do until the afternoon lesson?
R. Go to sleep, rest, and eat well. Depending on where you are or what weather you have there, you come to the lesson with an awakening, turn on your computer, sit in front of the computer and be prepared. That's it.
21. S. (59:17) A dear friend asked about starting from the book of Zohar, are we going to learn from it in the evenings?
R. No problem, do you have time for it?
S. We asked some questions of the friends and in the survey that we did it wasn't clear we have some who can and some who cannot. I wanted to ask what is your personal attitude to this, do we need this now or we need to engage in some, more general topics of connection, would that help us in dissemination also?
R. Man is a limited vessel, he can’t bring everything in there. That is why the question is if now start studying the book of Zohar, we won't see many new things there but it has a different language a different approach and then the question is if we won’t just overload. We will fill all the cells in our heads and from that it will be difficult to do the main work which is connection between us and with the Creator on the degree of conception. The Zohar isn't speaking about conception only, it speaks about everything. That's why I don't know, I think it will be too much of a burden on you. Let's first scrutinize who is even willing to study and at what hours. Make a survey in what hours and who can study and study what. Maybe Zohar there are a lot of people who are willing to jump on it and maybe something else. I am willing. Also which part of the Zohar
S. The survey is some sort of manipulation on the one hand, how people look at it depends on how you ask the question. On the other hand, I think that you look at the answer like something that comes from the Creator, now we can ask, after your explanation… (Cut off by Rav)
R. I don't have a problem if I see that there is a big quantity of serious people. Not that we just start and then stop because people don't really show up, but that we really do this. But again the quantity of people, how long we should study for, what times, which book exactly, let's say if it's the Zohar like you're saying, even though there are people who don't want to study Zohar but there are others who want to study TES and then according to that check. It's not just one or two. We have to answer a few questions here and you say yes so we will think about how to do it.
S. There needs to be uniformity between us regarding that?
R. I don't think so, it depends on time, on desire, on pressure on each and every one. Maybe there are people who are very busy with families and people that need to work two jobs. I don't know. Everyone needs to calculate what more or less, the morning lesson is a must and even with what we are saying about it only half come, maybe 60% maybe even 70% but no more than that. So I don't want that if we had an extra lesson people would be missing in the morning lesson because of this extra lesson.
