Part 2:
Baal HaSulam. Peace in the World: Rewarded—I Will Hasten It, Not Rewarded—In Its Time
1. R. (03:23) Meaning there is a way of development here that we have to go through. From the first date the beginning of creation to the final state of creation. Part of the path we develop without our awareness or feelings, we are just like children they don't know how they're growing why they're growing towards what they're growing, that is on the degree of the still, vegetative and animate, that is how every person develops until he gets a bit of the speaking level it is already called on the degree of Adam which resembles the Creator, that a bit of the qualities of the Creator are in him. That is how we see how humanity is developing and every generation that goes by has different kinds of forms of connection. That is why we see and these things we also exist in… at its time or hastening it, meaning on the stages of connection weather advancing through our ego or advancing through good manners all kinds of good methods socials psychological or religious methods but there is still a development that comes to man before spiritual development that is suitable to become Adam, resemble the Creator.
2. S. (05:12) What tools do people have that have taken the law of development into their hands to actually hasten it?
R. First of all there are natural forces towards which we are drawn. Like science or all kinds of ethics, philosophy, all kinds of connections between people and so on. That also comes to us because still our ego isn't in a beastly form but still in a human form. It does help us advance. This is how we have grown to a state that we are already above it.
S. Doesn't it push us for further away, this development by the ego?
R. You cannot come closer to the truth without distancing yourself from it first, because then you see where you are. It is always like that that all of our advancement has to be on two legs. There are people that don't ask any questions so does that mean that they are advancing? Specifically the ones that have the questions that are in all kinds of forms that they do not know how to organize themselves why he is like this and so on, those that are asking the questions are searching for solutions and that is how they reach them.
S. How do you promise not to lose the connection to the method? If you only follow the egoistic development then we see what is happening in the world.
R. We are going this way in the egoistic method is organized in a way that brings us to the truth by suffering. That he is greater than his friend his inclination is greater. That is called adding reason, pain, and awareness and adding awareness and adding pain that is how we advance.
S. So we still need some kind of combination with the Creator’s force here?
R. The Creator exists in every action as much as he has revealed interactions. That is it. that brings us to the truth by suffering. That the greater than his friend his inclination is greater. That is called adding reason, pain, and awareness and adding awareness and adding pain that is how we advance.
S. So we still need some kind of combination with the Creator...
R. The Creator exists in every action as much as he reveals interactions. That is it. That is how he always manages us.
Reading Continues (07:45) “In other words...”
3. S. (09:34) The evil has to appear in all its depth and power. What does it depend on? A few people that feel this or something else?
R. Revelation of evil depends on souls that are in this action, Meeting those same people in their development as much as they are willing to develop on the path towards the Gmar Tikkun (end of correction). According to that, evil is revealed, and it is revealed towards each and every part, towards each and every person, towards every part of Adam HaRishon and then as a response to the revelation of evil that is how people, souls come closer to the good.
4. S. (10:46) Every action brings with it pleasure. Can a person in our world limit his physical activities in a correct way?
R. As we learned in the articles all of our actions whether internal or external, also in mind and heart, meaning also in the desires and also in the physical, in some way they always have to help us advance towards correction and then they will be beneficial and good and right for the person doing them and for the others.
5. S. (11:43) According to the article and as a result of all the recent events, It seems that the presence of the Creator in everything disappears. How can we remind each other in a way that it is not just words that annoy each other, but really remind each other that the Creator’s there?
R. You have to try in all possibilities, talking about it or else not talking about it, in all your actions that you are doing before your friends to awaken in them a feeling that the Creator is present in you, that he is conducting you and that you feel him, awaken envy in the friends. By that we will all advance.
6. S. (12:55) It says that they will set their minds to correct all the bad attributes in them and turn them into good ones by themselves. I wanted to ask what it means ‘by themselves’?
R. It is that they try to do it practically and corporeally. They try to raise a prayer with it towards the Creator in a spiritual way. Corporeal, meaning tens, the whole world, organizing, studying towards prayer, what you are now starting, men and women, starting to connect once a day to a collective prayer. You need more and more to think about how you make of this prayer, make it the most important action in reality, the most important. Yesterday I was present in it, I saw that there was still lacking a great importance in it and the Creator is expecting it. He is expecting us from that corporeal connection between us around the world you can do it not in the evening during the day and Israel or in Russia Ukraine the US, no matter, twice a day or for one half of the Earth and the other half of the earth, whichever way you want.
But this is what you need to do. That this prayer once a day, only once a day even, it will be a strong united prayer that in it we aim for the connection between us and from the connection between us we turn to the Creator and cry out that you must help us connect because only in the connection between us we discover you and from your revelation and us we will be able to be confident that we are connected to the purpose of life, the purpose of creation, the good. Good means that does good that it is in a mutual way That we are drawn to one another and in the connection between us we build this form called the Creator, come and see, that is very important. So I really hope also today that you will organize and in this way each time you will complete our plea to the Creator more.
S. It is the most exciting thing in my life to try to open the hearts of their friends to connect in emotion and pointed towards the Creator, but this is where the war happens every time I good inclination peaks my head, the evil inclination comes in and just totally screws up my plans and I am not able to integrate correctly with their friends. So how can I?
R. You cannot incorporate with your friends without the evil force and specifically with the evil force you can rise above it, be incorporated with your friends. Start again and again to read the sources and again to implement it and then you will see that only in such a way you can only approach with the good force, there is no good and you the good force could only be on the condition that you overcome the evil force. Then the extent of overcoming it, the extent that you overcome, the evil force will give you a discernment, the right discernment, the right awareness and feeling of what the good forces are. Only in this way can you realize what the good is by overcoming the evil and not that this good exists in you to begin with in any form. Everything that is evil in you, don't forget it, don't run away from it. Overcome it and build a state, an opposite attitude and from this you will build the good force. Obviously, you will need to turn to the Creator for help but only in this way you will build the good in you.
S. Let go of the inner urge to connect with the friends and open everyone's hearts together until the evil attributes are corrected?
R. I don't know. I don't want to hear your words because you are confusing us with it. What I said is what needs to be that is it. There is no good we build it from as we say, make it opposite, invert it. We invert the ego, into the opposite and make it good. Ask the Creator to help you do that.
7. S. (19:14) We have two states in our ten either we are not playing the game at all, or we are playing and getting a bad response from their friends. What are we doing wrong?
R. I could not answer you on such questions that are general. Ask less, sorry I'm saying this but that is true.
8. S. (19:57) Can you advise us what is the best way that you can direct us to the prayer, maybe what deficiency we could take for the friends and their states?
R. We need to prepare for this prayer, let us say you set it for 7 p.m., we have to get ready for it, prepare for it and already start speaking about it during the day. There have to be people responsible for it, excerpts, so on you do it right? You have to be more responsible and in this way advance. Speak about it and understand that it is the most important action. It is like you are going into some meeting with some important person with a request and in this request you can receive the most important thing for your life. That is how we have to approach prayer and then according to that you have to pass these minutes that we are in connection that they will all be beneficial and powerful.
If it turns out that part wants this and the other part doesn't feel that by this implementation of prayer, some excitement, so we surrender towards the friends and still participate with them and that is even more beneficial. The main thing is that we come to the prayer and our subjugation towards the friends. The main thing in that connection is that everyone feels himself less than everyone and in this way we connect and this way we reach excitement and a general common inspiration. Our prayer is praying for peace, for wholeness. In Hebrew, the word Shalom comes from Shlemut, which is perfection, that we can all connect, and God forbid we don't have to kill anybody. We, all of us, everyone needs to connect, everyone has a place and only in this way we will reach the revelation of the creator in a whole way between us.
9. S. (22:46) It says that they should put their minds and hearts to correct all the bad virtues in them and turn them into good virtues. What are the bad attributes?
R. That they should put their minds and hearts to correct all the bad virtues of them and turn them into good virtues.
S. What are the bad attributes?
R. All of my tendency to distance myself from my friends is an evil value. I do not have to learn about it in a philosophical or psychological way. Everything that distances us is bad and everything that brings us closer is good. That is it. The Creator likes every connection between people.
10. S. (23:33) How to not give up on the sense of warmth of the Creator and how to not agree with a broken heart?
R. That is by the force of connection that everyone is concerned about his friend, connected to the goal, that his heart will be burning. No one can awaken his own heart. We are not aware of it, but we are only awakened by external influences, so we need to do these influences in a directed way.
11. S. (24:16) The meetings between the women from Russia and the women from Ukraine in the zoom are very inner and sharp on the other hand when there are big meetings on zoom with thousands of people all over the world all of the differences dissolve. Can all of the groups of the world Kli help the women in Russia and Ukraine and help melt the differences and spread it between everyone in mutual unity like sugar and tea?
R. I would especially let them connect between those who are around the world and can attribute themselves to the connections between those groups, between those nations. We do not today have differences between nations, Russia, Ukraine, it is so mixed up and it is felt how mixed-up it is. I was amazed to hear that there are bombings in Kharkov, although it is in Ukraine it is a Russian city. It is completely Russian and suddenly they are bombing it. I don't understand that. You see how this war, everything is so mixed up between Russians and the Ukrainians and the Jews are in the middle there and the Kavkazians, it is all very mixed up. You see that there is a mutual influence on all of humanity there. I really hope that all of these scrutinies that you do in your prayer, you will scrutinize these things and will truly be able to make a great connection in the world.
S. What is better, meetings between Ukraine and Russians groups or to involve the whole world Kli together?
R. Better to have the Russian and Ukraine groups and around them all the groups of the world Kli. Give most of the time, give half the time, should go for them, for the Russian and Ukrainian groups to express themselves and the rest for the rest of the world. It is very important. You do not know, the men and women as much as this tendency to be connected in a plea to the Creator. It is something that there is nothing else in the world, only in this way can it work and give the main intensity. Try to implement it.
12. S. (27:55) I heard in the lesson now that we need to take the problem and correct it before it materializes in a bad way, how are we capable of doing that, how?
R. We can bring everything to the end of correction that has to be clear. Not in the middle, not in a quarter of the way, we have to go all the way and it does not depend on time. It is not like there were times in the past, when we are in the final state, the last generation as Baal HaSulam writes, so that is it. We can, from here to the end of correction, do it with one jump, one step ahead and that is it. The upper light has no problem to correct the entire shattered vessel. It is already there, this vessel we just have to reveal it towards our own senses. The future form already exists to begin with, just that when it is revealed towards the created beings it is revealed 620 times more than the initial state that the Creator created. So it will be revealed in it's true intensity, the connection between us and the revelation of the Creator and according to that in the connection we will see these things, that we have caused it.
13. S. (29:39) Should we allow an open mic during the Zoom meeting so women can express their prayer?
R. I don't know we have to try. If that is what people think they can give it a try maybe it is good. But we have to learn how to use it, yes.
Reader Continues (30:20) “According to the above-mentioned law a gradual development”
14. R. (32:29) Meaning you can develop through time and then it is long and connected to all problems and troubles that will be revealed because only through the feeling of evil can we take steps ahead. That will happen only for us to run from the evil until it will teach us more how to be drawn to the good and that is a big problem so to learn from this is very difficult. What does the Torah do, what does the wisdom of Kabbalah give us, it explains how we can advance without constantly receiving blows and in this time be wiser in order to rise from the blows. But to organize ourselves to be aimed not to blows, but to adhesion, connection, bestowal and then obviously we will have a very quick development. And in this way we will advance. I hope that we will do it. And all of our actions will be aimed in Achishena, in hastening and not in it through its time meaning in our actions to connect because that is the future form that already exists, but we need to attain that form.
15. S. (34:07) In the global social team we have produced this gathering of the prayer of the men at 7:30 p.m. Israel time, now you recommended a little bit of a different format to allow the Russian Ukrainian vessel to express themselves. So the question is should we add another meeting or expand the present one and turn it to that format?
R. I do not want to decide anything. I just think that those who today feel this on their flesh, everything that's happening in the world, that it is from the general providence of the Creator so we should give them more time to express themselves towards the correct connection from the state that they are in. We have to connect around them and not that there is some kind of group from Chile that we really love or other places that are far away but still they are not under this corporeal threat, physical threat. They are not under the bombings that is why they do not have the same necessity that we are in, in a corporeal degree. That is why we have to give more time to those groups that are in a feeling of a threat of war and that they will influence and bring us quicker towards correction. All of us will feel how we are connecting to them. how we belong to them and in this way we will advance. That is what I recommend. Do not give them the whole time but do check also if they are speaking correctly or not that it will not be just to burn the time, to waste the time. That is why I said that we should give them half the time of the meeting.
16. S. (36:45) In what way do we need to work to be worthy of understanding the methods in which the Creator created the world in his order will merge with our minds, the question is how to cling, to adhere to the Creator?
R. We need to try just as I was saying. Now we have to try to be as one, all groups to connect together. That is our weapon, that we use it against the whole world, against all the evil forces and let us hope that we succeed in it. That each and every one should feel himself as a soldier in that war against the evil inclination that separates between us and that we are all aimed towards the Creator. That we are all responsible for one another, that is what I could say, think about it, speak about it, and do not move away from this topic. Throughout the whole day you need to be in a mutual concern on the connection between us. How about we not in the connection we defeat this ghost of war, this demon, how we would choke it.
