Morning Lesson July 2, 2021 Transcription
Item 14 “Thus You necessarily have the future form ….”
1. R. (03:02) So what do we have here, he says this, he doesn't relate to the bodies that we know as this body, the beastly biological body he is not speaking about. Even when he says beast or animal he is speaking about a desire for oneself and not a body, these tissues. He says this, there are three states to the souls, not us, not humans but the souls and the first state is the presence in infinity and the thought of creation where they already have the future form of the end of correction. Meaning the first state is the final state, That the soul is corrected, it reaches connection with all of its parts to the state that it resembles the Creator and is in adhesion with him, the second state is the existence of the souls during the 6000 years meaning that there is a process that these souls go through and correct themselves until their final corrected form. These stages are called 6000 years that doesn't have anything to do with our years that revolve with the Earth around the Sun, it is 6000 degrees that we need to go through in our correction which were divided by the above two systems into a body and a soul.
They were given the Torah and Commandments, to perform these actions called Commandments and by that to receive the upper light that performs corrections which are called Torah in order to return the desire to receive in them and bring them to the desire to bestow contentment to their maker. Not for themselves at all. During the time of that state, those 6000 years no correction will come to the bodies only to the souls, so there is something about correcting a soul then there is another state of correcting the body which means they must eliminate from within them any form of self-reception which is considered the body and remain with but a desire to bestow. This is the form of the desire in the souls. Even the souls of the righteous will not be able to rejoice in the Garden of Eden after their demise but only after their bodies have completely rotted in the dust. Meaning you have to go through a certain correction, meaning rotting in the dust and then each and every soul can reach its final correction where it rids itself of the will to receive in its final form and reaches a state called The Garden of Eden.
The third state is a state of the end of correction of the souls when this happens after the revival of the dead. What does this mean? That the final correction will come to the bodies also, but is not this body but a body means the will to receive which will be corrected and its final form. What does the final correction mean? It means when the bodies will take their pure form of bestowing meaning that the entire desire to receive everything created on behalf of the Creator will turn into pure bestowal and will become worthy of receiving all of the pleasure in the thought of creation. Meaning all of the delight that the Creator wants to give that created being he gives it and the guests can receive it. With all of that they will attain strong adhesion by the force of their equivalent to form with their makers since they will not receive all of this because of their desire to receive but because of their desire to bestow contentment upon their maker. That the Creator has pleasure they received from it. This is why they received it. From here we will use these three states and you will remember what is explained here in each and every state. There are many things here that were not mentioned, that are here between the lines. We can scrutinize them more and with a pencil make all kinds of changes in the text so that it will be more understood as this is usually how I work. What he writes he writes in the way that for now this is what he wants to say.
S. The second state is this a realistic state?
R. The second state is our work, the first state is not our state it is that we are already in the end of Correction and their the final form of the will to receive was determined and the third state is the same final correction that we are included their existing there that we reach it with all of our Corrections with an understanding and awareness that we have absorbed through the second state. The main thing for us is the second state.
S.
Where
does
this
gap
take
place
as
they're
both
the
end
of
her?
R.
There
is
a
gap
between
the
second
and
the
third
because
the
first
state
is
determined
by
the
Creator
and
the
third
state
is
what
the
created
beings
attain
through
the
corrections.
S.Is there a gap between the first and the third?
R. Then they can reach complete adhesion and the fact that the first state exists, in the third state this is on behalf of the Creator the fact that we reach it through the second state by this we the second state with all of the changes and corrections and then we reach the third state where we understand what the Creator has prepared for us.
S. In the third state we still have the awareness of the second state?
R. As a result of the second stage we have gone through ascents and descents through the six thousand years and when we reach the third state we understand and feel the third state completely’
S. If we feel the third state completely, does the second state disappear?
R. It is included in the third state so you can't attain the third state without incorporating all the other states in the second state otherwise the third stage would be the same as all the others?
2. S. (12:49) What signifies the first state is that we have a general relationship there?
R. I don't understand what is written here? It says that the first state is in the thought of creation not in us, that all of the souls have that final form of the end of correction of the third state. In the first state you already have the corrected state of the third state.
3. S. (13:39) What is the process of decomposition that Baal HaSulam is speaking about in this part of the text in spirituality?
R. That is the recognition of evil as much as we see and every part of our desire to receive that disconnects us from the Creator, from the force of bestowing that we desire this is why this state that we are in is a state of deterioration.
4. S. (14:42) If the bodies are the desire to receive for itself what are the souls?
R. You're not even a bit confused, you're just not in it, you don't understand it because we haven't learned it. What you are asking about are just questions about things we have not learned about. To the extent that he gave us in this small part only in that you can ask and I don't know if I will answer. He gave you knowledge, very general knowledge that you have three states. No more than that as he says the first state that we exist only in thought of creation and in this thought is already a future form that we have to reach and we will reach it because we are in that thought. All of reality is the thought of the Creator, the thought of creation. The second state is that according to this thought that we are activated and while being activated we feel ourselves as existing, as independent that we want this or that, that we want to receive in bestow to one another. We scrutinize this thought that is cooking us in this soup that this is how we are cooking, that in the end from this we begin to understand and to feel what is happening with us. How can we participate in this that we are in? Then we reach the third state that this soup, stew, this thought comes to its final realization that we are already incorporated in the third state and the state was predefined where each and everyone has a place that we reach. Then we understand what we went through and what we got to, what happens after the third state is not written anywhere. There are all kinds of other states there in the wisdom of Kabbalah usually nothing is written about it but if we advance more so we will get a few hints about it. This is after the final correction of all of this reality when the whole world, our world rises to the degree of infinity that has to happen soon according to our times.
5. S. (18:46) What is the third state?
R. The first state is the final form of the end of correction which exists in the third state.
S. And in the first state of the third state does it not exist?
R. It is there in force, in potential and in practice the first state becomes the third state through the second state.
6. S. (19:32) The third state is the end of correction of the souls after the revival of the dead where the complete correction will come. Can you explain what is the revival dead?
R. The will to receive, that knows the negative form of the desire to receive and determines that this is a form of dead, then it goes through a correction after it determines it is dead, it wants to receive a different form from reception to bestowing which is called the resurrection of the dead. That it doesn't want to be in order to receive but in order to bestow, then all of the desires that the Creator created that they went through the form of: in order to receive they reach a form of in order to bestow which is called the revival of the dead.
S. In our work in the 10 is there even a bit of this concept?
R. We haven't reached the feeling we are dead so how can we be concerned about the resurrection?
S. What does it mean to be dead?
R. Dead means that each one only wants to be for his own benefit the opposite form of the Creator, this is called dead.
S. So we are still dead in the ten?
R. If you don't feel that you're not even dead, you are before that, you don't exist in any way toward spirituality.
S. So you tell me I'm supposed to feel dead in the 10?
R. If you don't ask but listen you will learn more.
S. I hear you, you said we need to be dead in the10?
R. You need to feel the truth and if on the path you will feel that you are dead then this is also correct, today you are less than the degree of the dead because you don't even feel that.
7. S. (22:39) Can we interpret body and soul as the desire to receive and the desire to bestow?
R. Correct body in the wisdom of Kabbalah is called the desire to receive and the soul is called the desire to bestow.
8. S. (23:14) Before the end of correction is there no state of receiving in order to bestow, like in the example of the host and the guest?
R. Here and there, there are such desires. The end of correction means that all of a person's desires are all in order to bestow all desires. This is why it is called the final correction.
S. Is a correction only on the intention or the desire?
R. Correcting the desire means correcting the intention, the desire stays in order to receive but if it is for the benefit of the hosts it is called in order to bestow.
S. What is the correction of the bodies?
R. Correction of the bodies, there is a desire to receive and that desire to receive is in order to receive, it is called corrupted the fact that it is entirely corrupted is a degree that it is already dead and it crumbles and disappears. The desire to receive that reaches the degree of bestowing and is corrupted, this is called that it is the desire to receive that reaches a degree of souls, we will speak about it, you can't from this one sentence start extracting all the wisdom of Kabbalah.
9. S. (25:07) Can we say the first state is the circles and the second state is the straightness?
R. We don't want to say anything about what is not written here.
Item 15 “When you examine the above three states…” (25:30)
10. R. (29:36) When you examine the above 3 states you will find that one completely necessitates the other in a way that if one were to be canceled the others would be canceled also is that clear or not? I am reading it again. We read about three states that we have. The first second and third, the first state is the plan that you can already see the final state that has to come because it comes from above and the second state is the implementation through the six thousand years that has to take place. The third state already took place and it is in the final form, so we have 1 2 and 3. The first state there is no problem as only he is making it happen, the second state is the action itself that has to take place, the third state that everybody in practice reaches the state that is predetermined. What does he say onward? If for example the third state, the inversion of the form of reception from the form of bestowing had not materialized it is certain that the first state of infinity would never be able to emerge. Clear right? Since the wholeness materialized there because of the future third state that was already there as though it is present, all the completeness that was depicted in that state, like a reflection. You understand the reflection from the future into the present.
11. S. (31:47) Is Baal HaSulam describing a state which ended in its beginning?
R. Yes.
12. S. (32:09) It works out the first state defines the states that follow so the question is how to hasten this process to move through quickly?
R. How do we speed up this process? By our participation, you can also say that if the states of 1, 2 and 3 are clear and only the second state that we are practically in now. In practice, at least we can speed up our development, yes, correct. All the changes in development are by us speeding it up ourselves, that we are drawn to the final state then by this we truly reach the final correct state in the correct way because we desire it. We are searching how to get there and specifically in this participation by speeding it up the way that we want to do it, by this we change ourselves and we add into the final connection, we add a lot of light that will be revealed in the vessels because we by wanting to connect, wanting to be together, not by suffering that the Creator will reveal and connect but that we ourselves from the good, from recognizing that we want to be His partners, if we cause correction, by this we discover the big addition of the light that will be in the vessels from us searching, form us connecting on our own. Meaning our effort to be connected is what adds all of the intensity of the connection and all of the great light that can be revealed. Otherwise we reach the final correction, meaning if we don't do anything everything will be played out according to the plan of creation so we advance and reach the final correction that all of creation remains in the form that there are five lights, vessels, that everything is correct and everything is connected and okay but there won't be the degree of Adam, the intensity of 620 times more, meaning that we add all of our desire in there, that we awakened one another just as we are speaking today in the previous lesson that the correction is by me helping the friend oh, that I do something instead of him and he does something instead of me. This way one will help his friend and in such a way connect, implementing these corrections and by this we are inviting the light that is 620 times more intense, the light of NRNHY that is revealed in the end of correction, otherwise no, it is as if we didn't do anything. All of the benefit of creation is that there will be an Adam that is evil, opposite of the Creator and reaches recognition that he is such and all of his oppositeness of the Creator becomes resemblance to the Creator. Not because he feels bad, but because by this he is giving contentment through all of creation to the Creator and in this way each and every one of us does that and by that we discover the upper light, the infinite upper light.
S. What compels the first state from the third or?
R. The three states as we just read, when you examine the above three states you find that one completely necessitates the other, the first necessitates the second and third and each one of them necessitates the other remaining states. This is how they are connected and how they work. You have to think and talk about it because if we are speaking about the general creation it is too much, we don't usually speak about it in such a way in our research, but here he wants to get into it, this is the introduction to the book of Zohar.
13. S. (38:38) Was the shattering also inside the thought of creation?
R. Without the shattering the thought of creation would not exist to do good to the created being because without it there is no created being, no foundation of anything to correct. Obviously the shattering is the main part.
14. S. (39:14) I thought the shattering was a result of what man did?
R. What man?
S. Not a person, the extension of the light inside the will to receive?
R. Everything came from above, everything is from above we have to participate in what the Creator does, not that we shattered something against the desire, do something against the desire there never is such a thing in reality.
15. S. (40:07) How can we use correctly what we learned in this lesson as far as the 3 states?
R. You can't and you don't need to. You would just be confused, you just use the 10 for what we spoke about in the first lesson, the other is just for knowledge and we will work on it. You will forget about it till tomorrow.
16. S. (40:54) Is our work to enter and to feel the third state?
R. Our purpose is to reach the third state and practice yes, and we are already in a state as Baal HaSulam wrote, is called the final generation that we already can reach the third state.
