Part 1: Recorded lesson - June 16, 2022

 Baal HaSulam. Shamati 195. Rewarded—I Will Hasten It

Reader: Hello, in the first part of today's lesson, we'll watch a recorded lesson from the 16th of June, 2022, a lesson on Baal HaSulam, Shamati  article 195, “Rewarded - I Will Hasten It.” 

Reader: Hello, we are reading from the writings of Baal HaSulam, the article of Shamati  195, “Rewarded - I Will Hasten It.” You can find the study material in the Arvut system when you click the study material tab in the top menu. You can send your questions through the system and selected questions on the study material will be asked during the lesson. Again, the writings of Baal HaSulam, Shamati  article 195, “Rewarded - I Will Hasten It.” 

Reading: (01:06) 195. Rewarded—I Will Hasten It

I heard in the year 1938

“Rewarded—I will hasten it,” meaning the path of Torah; “not rewarded—through suffering,” an evolutionary path that will finally lead everything to utter perfection.

M. Laitman: This means that, for sure, we will reach the wholeness, perfection, the end of the path through the correct development but in two things, in two paths, either by the path of, “I will hasten it” or on the path of, “in its time,” the path of suffering. In between these two, actually, is our destiny, our fate. What do we choose? 

M. Laitman (Source Text/Commentary): (01:58) As he writes here, that finally, everything will reach the utter perfection. What next? The path of Torah means that an ordinary person is given virtues by which he can make for himself vessels that are ready for it, ready for the correct state. And the vessels are made through the expansion of the light and its departure. As we learned it—that the expansion of the light and its departure make the vessel that is fit, qualified for its role. It builds in the vessel a deficiency for the light. The expansion alone is not enough, the departure is also required. Once he, after he tasted something and he can yearn for it after, it had stopped. A vessel, Kli, is specifically called the will to receive. This is what it is called, that he tastes something, and then he no longer has it. This means that he lacks something, and there is no light without a vessel, because the light must be caught, must be captured in some Kli, so it will have a hold. There has to be a deficiency for this light, for this taste of the light but an ordinary person cannot have deficiencies for sublime things. This is for each and every one when he develops since it is impossible to have a deficiency before there is fulfillment. As it is written, the expansion of the light and its departure. So, first, we seemingly need to receive the fulfillment, and then when the fulfillment, the feeling, stops, then we will have the efficiency, and then with this deficiency we will long for the fulfillment. For example, when a person has a thousand pounds, then he is rich and content. However, if he subsequently earns more, let's say up to five thousand pounds, and later he loses from the five thousand until he is left with two thousand. Meaning, earlier, first, he had one thousand. Then he gained 5,000 and now he lost and he went down to 2,000. Now, he's deficient. Now he has vessels for 3,000 pounds that he's lacking that he had, from the 5,000 down to 2,000 since he had already had it. Thus, he has actually been cancelled. And there is a path of Torah for this. When one is accustomed to the path of Torah, to regret the scantiness of attainment, and every time he has some illuminations, and they are divided, then they cause him to have more sorrow and more vessels. This means that each time he has ascents and descents and this is how he builds the vessels. This is the meaning of every Kli lacking light, that it is not filled, that its light is missing. Thus, every deficient place becomes a place for faith, meaning that it's not that I lack what I had and now it is gone but, rather, I lack what I was able to give and, now, I don't have anything to give.

M. Laitman (Source Text/Commentary): (06:20) Soon we will check that. Yet, were it filled, there will be no existence of a vessel, the existence of a place for faith. This means that if a person would not receive, let's say, those 5,000 pounds and wouldn't later lose it and feel that he is lacking it, then he would have no place for faith. Meaning, he would have no deficiency, no feeling of a deficiency, that there could be more but it's missing and, now, he needs to establish his relation to that feeling that he had and now he doesn't have it. This article is not so simple. We will scrutinize it. We will read it a few times and check if we are able to understand it today. 

Reader: Shamati 195. Rewarded - I Will Hasten It. 

Reading: (07:22) 195. Rewarded—I Will Hasten It

I heard in the year 1938

“Rewarded—I will hasten it,” meaning the path of Torah; “not rewarded—through suffering,” an evolutionary path that will finally lead everything to utter perfection. The path of Torah means that an ordinary person is given virtues by which he can make for himself Kelim [vessels] that are ready for it. And the Kelim are made through the expansion of the light and its departure.

A Kli [vessel] is specifically called “the will to receive.” This means that he lacks something, and “there is no light without a Kli,” for the light must be caught in some Kli, so it would have a hold.

But an ordinary person cannot have desires for sublime things, since it is impossible to have a need before there is fulfillment, as it is written, “the expansion of the light, etc.” For example, when a person has a thousand pounds, he is rich and content. However, if he subsequently earns more, up to five thousand pounds, and then loses until he is left with two thousand, he is then deficient. Now he has Kelim [vessels] for three thousand pounds, since he had already had it. Thus, he has actually been canceled.

And there is a path of Torah for this. When one is accustomed to the path of Torah, to regret the scantiness of attainment, and every time he has some illuminations, and they are divided, they cause him to have more sorrow and more Kelim.

This is the meaning of every Kli needing light, that it is not filled, that its light is missing. Thus, every deficient place becomes a place for faith. Yet, were it filled, there would be no existence of a Kli, existence of a place for faith. 

M. Laitman: Let's see how much we understood. We will see.

Question (ITA 4): (10:02) What does it mean that he attains the degree of faith and the light enters the vessel and departs from it? 

M. Laitman: I didn't understand what he's asking. We are talking here about the formation of the deficiency in the desire. Just a desire that he wants, that potentially he's ready—that's nothing. Rather, it has to be something which is defined. What exactly do you want? What is happening here is that the person receives 5,000 pounds, let's say, and later on he loses out of this 3,000, so over these 3,000 pounds he has a deficiency. This is how a deficiency is built, not just the deficiency that comes from the Creator but something which is well-defined that the person feels already. What is the question again? 

Student: Is this deficiency called faith? 

M. Laitman: No, we are not talking about faith for now. We are talking about the formation of the deficiency. That's it.

Question (Kyiv ): (11:58) What does it mean to have a deficiency for the feeling of the light in our case? 

M. Laitman: We get, from above, all kinds of different states. These states build in us all kinds of feelings and deficiencies. By this, we begin to feel, what does it mean to be close to bestowal, far away from bestowal, close to connection, farther away from connection—all kinds of such discernments which are not with respect to this world, not measurements of this world but, rather, measurements in spirituality. This is how we begin to acquire vessels for spirituality. It's not yet vessels of faith but, nevertheless, in that we have a certain relation to distancing versus nearing. We begin to measure ourselves, not according to how much we receive, or how much we do not receive, or we become emptied, because we don't have any measurement in that yet but. Rather, our measurement is in how much we, nevertheless, can yearn for connection between us or we distance between us. Then, in that we have some feeling, a certain discernment or not. All in all, this is where we are for now. 

Student: These 2000 pounds, in our case, is the feeling of connection, more or less? 

M. Laitman: Well, in the example, it's not how he explains it, but you can translate it in this way that, now, we have connected and we evaluate our connection. Let's say, it's 5000 pounds, and later on we feel ourselves that we have become separated, we're farther away in our feeling from each other up to, let's say, only 2000 pounds. How much did we lose from 5000 to 2000? But earlier we were only 1000 pounds, right? In between these three states, 1000, 2000, 5000, we can determine ourselves.

Question (Spain 1): (14:52) It says that he has actually been cancelled. The vessels that he had for 3,000 pounds, since he had already had it, thus he has actually been cancelled. It's not clear what it means. 

M. Laitman (Source Text/Commentary): (15:18) Let's read it again. I'm reading the article, “Rewarded - I Will Hasten It.” It is written, Rewarded - I will hasten it, meaning the path of Torah. Through the path of Torah, we reach the purpose of creation, the building, the construction of the vessel for the revelation of the Creator. Not rewarded, meaning it's not through the path of “I will hasten it,” not the path of Torah, then it is through suffering, which is an evolutionary path that finally will lead everything to utter perfection. Through the path of suffering, we also reach the purpose; ultimately, everyone reaches it. The question is only through which path and in which pace, through which states. The path of Torah means that an ordinary person is given virtues by which he can make for himself vessels that are ready for it. This means that the person himself actually prepares the vessels for his advancement towards the Creator. The vessels are made through the expansion of the light and its departure. A vessel is a deficiency, a lack. So, the expansion of the light in the desire and its departure from the desire build the desire such that it already wants the fulfillment. A vessel, a Kli, is a will to receive. This means that he lacks something. He feels that he's lacking something and there is no light without a Kli for according to his deficiency, he can then say, I want this, I'm yearning for this and when he will receive it, he will feel that this is what he wanted. For the light must be captured in some Kli so that it will have a hold, so that there will be a connection between the light and the vessel, so that he received exactly what he wanted. But an ordinary person cannot have deficiencies for sublime things, for spirituality, since it is impossible to have a deficiency before there is fulfillment. He has never yet felt spiritual fulfillment so how will he yearn for it? For example, when a person has a thousand pounds, he is rich and he is content, that now he has 1,000 pounds and he can do something with it. However, if he subsequently earns more, let's say up to 5,000 pounds and then loses until he is left with 2,000, he is then deficient, meaning that he had 5,000, now he has only 2,000. Here, a vessel is made, which he didn't have before, a lack for 3,000 pounds because he had had it already. It follows that it had been canceled, meaning that he had a vessel, had the fulfillment of 5,000—he was left with a fulfillment of 2,000, so now he has a deficiency for 3,000 pounds. At first, he had only 1,000 but that doesn't matter. He had 2,000 later so we always measure according to what he had before. And there is a path of Torah for this, one who is accustomed to the path of Torah regrets the scantiness of attainment—how come I don't have it, how come I don't attain it, how come I don't understand it, how come I don't feel. And every time he has some illuminations, and they are divided, this happens within us, it changes all the time, then they cause him to have more sorrow and more vessels. Bit by bit, this is how we build the vessels, even though we don't feel it but it does occur inside of us, it cooks inside of us. This is the meaning of every vessel lacks the light, that it is not filled, and its light is missing, thus every deficient place becomes a place for faith, that, now, when the light does not fill the vessel, then the light of faith can appear there. Meaning I don't need to receive what I was lacking, I don't need the deficiency that was revealed in me to fill it in the direct manner but, rather, I want to fill this place with the light, with the desire to bestow, that I would like to bestow this to the Creator. This is the meaning of every vessel lacking light, that it is not filled, that its light is missing. Thus, every deficient place becomes a place for faith, yet were it filled, there would be no existence of the vessel, existence of a place for faith. We would never reach feeling, instead of, let's say, these 3,000 pounds, dollars, or whatever he had, whatever the currency was - pounds, you wouldn't be able to feel, instead of the 3,000 pounds, to feel the Creator according to the equivalence of form. That if he would want to rise above the deficiency that he feels in “in order to receive,” if he would rise above it and, by that, he wants to resemble or connect to the Source of the filling, by this he would earn, gain a connection with the Creator. We need to try to perform this, to carry it out, then you will feel how it works.  

Question (Baltia 4): (22:50) What is that great profit in the Ten? How can we feel that he had it and now he had lost it? 

M. Laitman: No, well, in the Ten, it's already different. We measure everything with respect to the Creator, how much we want to give that place that the Creator will fill. That I had, let's say, $3,000 and they're gone, so I want the Creator to fill that place and not that I will receive, instead of it, some other filling. In each and every place, I only want to fill it with the feeling of the Creator and nothing besides that, to pray for that. 

Student: Can we say that, in the Ten, I had a feeling of a certain closeness to connection and I've lost it? 

M. Laitman: Yes, certainly. 

Question (French): (24:41) Is it possible, without reaching attainment, to feel a deficiency for connection with the friends in the Ten? 

M. Laitman: A deficiency for connection, we can feel it even without the wisdom of Kabbalah, without our Tens, that are yearning to reach spiritual attainment, but rather the benefit from connection is felt everywhere, between people who work together, between scientists, between politicians, in everyone, it's not something special. 

Student: What does it mean that the illuminations are divided? 

M. Laitman: That each time, we have new discernments. 

Student: In the article it says that the illuminations are divided, means he regrets to know more than he knew before. It contradicts the beginning of the article. 

M. Laitman: Okay, well, talk between you, maybe you can understand him, and then you can ask me. 

Question (ITA 1): (27:47) The law of development, looks like something that a person should take even without wanting it. He has a deficiency, and then the deficiency doubles, and each time the deficiency grows and grows. So where is my choice in the process? 

M. Laitman: The deficiency doesn't just grow in a person, but rather in each and every person there is a deficiency which is suitable for him, which is revealed according to quality and quantity. And so we have to realize that all of the deficiencies that awaken in us, they are deficiencies that are suitable for us, and we need to connect nicely to them, meaning to work with them. We don't need to change the deficiency itself, but rather the direction. How do I use it? How do I accept it, and what do I do with it? How do I actualize it? This is what it is all about. The deficiency itself, it comes, it is seemingly abstract, but how do I use it? In order to receive, in order to bestow, for the benefit of myself, for the benefit of others? So by this, the deficiency changes, but the deficiencies in and of themselves, they exist in a unique, abstract form in the soul of man; and they become revealed gradually.

Question (Volga): (29:52) He writes here as if a person himself can create the deficiency by himself using the means called a virtue. What is a virtue? 

M. Laitman: Through the group. When we look at others, when we work together, we can use our common deficiencies. And therefore a person who had no deficiency before - and he would come to us, let's say, and become incorporated in the group, and he has no problem, he doesn't want anything that is special, he just finds it interesting to be among us - however, when he is with us, bit by bit, he starts to discover that he wants, just like us, the same goals, the same things. This is how it is. 

Question (Tel Aviv 3): (30:54) After the light departs, where can the vessel bring additional deficiency? It pushed away the light itself.

M. Laitman: Where do you take that from? No, it lost it, right? The loss also eats the vessels. What are you saying? Okay, guys, hold on. I'm not going to get into such a scrutiny of the article. It's not really an article. He wrote it. It is a particular, special, specific thing, so that the vessel, the deficiency, and the filling, they all come from above, and people just have to decide, one has to decide what should it be directed to. That's it. And one has to know that nevertheless he would reach the goal. However, he has two paths. Either “I will hasten it,” or “in its time,” that is all. Meaning, either through the path of Torah, of the light, when he works correctly with his deficiency, or he doesn't work correctly with his deficiency, and then it's not through the virtues, the powers, but rather through negative sensations. But nevertheless, he is drawn forward. Either he's pulled from the front, or he's pushed from behind. And we need to be sensitive to this. We need to increase our sensitivity, each and every moment, to how are we advancing. What now is advancing me from the state that I was in to the state that I need to be in a moment later? By what do I advance? Am I being drawn forward? Do I want to be pulled forward, or maybe I don't want anything? And then I become the animate, or the vegetative, or maybe even still, and whatever happens, happens. So, here we need as much as possible to assist the Creator to work on us. 

Question (Rehovot): (33:27) Who are those who were rewarded? How were they rewarded? And who are these common people? Ordinary people? 

M. Laitman: They were rewarded through patience and, as much as possible, work in the group. And they are called ordinary people who do not enter this wisdom according to their intellect. They're not looking for special powers, but rather whatever they have before them, this is what they want to use as much as possible. All in all, we don't have such a great selection of means, but rather what we have: the books, the teacher who explains to us a little bit, and the group. And that's what everyone has.

Question (Tbilisi): (34:40) How can we develop this sensitivity in the group? Are we pushed from behind, or we yearn ourselves, or are we just animals and we don't care about anything? 

M. Laitman: If we don't even look at each other and don't use the group, then we're by ourselves. But if we do try to use the group, then we're no longer animals. We become Adam, humans. Human, Adam means that we bring ourselves to a group where we're all drawn to it together. When we all reach one form that is called Adam, similar to the Creator, this is the essence of our work. Meaning, we reach a state, as you see that there aren't so many means in the wisdom of Kabbalah by which to reach the goal. And eventually, either we dry out on the path, and we leave, and we don't want it, and we don't care about anything - we despair, or we seriously reach connection, because we are in the last generation and only in that way we can truly reach success. So, if we nevertheless continue, we hold by the teeth and we come closer to each other because there is no choice. So, we reach a state where in the connection between us, which we create forcefully, we connect forcefully above our laziness, above the natural rejection of our ego, we nevertheless connect between us. So, specifically, we should respect the opportunities given by the evil inclination who is obstructing us from connecting. If we make an effort above it and we do connect, then in this effort, as much as we make it - even though I don't want it, and I'm repelled by it, and I'm tired of it, and I'm truly disgusted by it - I can't do it. So, through such efforts, there forcefully, this is called by the force of faith above reason, we reach a state where there we do discover the Creator who becomes revealed according to our efforts and He brings us to such a success where we discover Him as the one who is saving us from the separation. And this is only if we don't let go, we don't leave, and when we surrender before these conditions and we are nevertheless willing to do everything up to the very last moment of our lives. 

Student: Personal sensitivity is clear, a person can feel he's being pushed, he exerts more, but this common sensitivity is something we have to scrutinize between us in a workshop, perhaps? 

M. Laitman: Try, you will feel if there is room for it or not.

Question (Almaty 1): (38:30) The place for faith is revealed, so it turns out that bestowal to the Creator becomes more important than my deficiency. But if we do not allow the deficiency to be filled again, let's say with 10,000 pounds, how can we grow in faith? How does the deficiency for faith grow? 

M. Laitman: I don't quite understand what you're saying. Wherever we are, we need to detect in it the tendency towards connection between us and the Creator. And as much as we're lacking it, missing it, we have to turn to the Creator and ask. And additionally, do it forcefully. We don't want to hear anything or get anything else. Only the connection between us and with the Creator. And demand the Creator to maintain this connection, and try to do it all the time.

Student: We have a deficiency for connection, for a feeling, so there is a deficiency. This creates a place, and above this place we build what becomes the place of faith, the place of bestowal, meaning there is a deficiency for reception, for connection with the Creator. And there is bestowal. So, how does the deficiency for connection with the Creator grow if we don't fill it up, but rather yearn for bestowal? 

M. Laitman: It's a deficiency that we want the Creator to fill. He will clothe in it. He will be in it. We wish to present this deficiency to Him.

Question (Moscow 6): (40:29) If in the Ten we see that the friends are pushing, how can we influence them? 

M. Laitman: What does it mean, push? When the Ten helps a friend to advance?

Student: We are talking about the fact that either the friend yearns on his own, or he's being pushed. If we see there's a state where we push him… 

M. Laitman: Okay, so why not connect and also help him advance? I don't understand the question. What is the question? If the entire group is helping someone advance, and there's a question, what should I do? I should also join the Ten. Okay, the question is not clear. 

Question (PT 32): (42:12) Question about the difference in the example with the money. When he loses the money - about the light, he writes here that the light, the illuminations are divided. It doesn't really disappear, but rather it becomes divided, diluted. It's not so clear. 

Question (Karmiel): (42:52) I heard you say in the beginning of the lesson, something that I lack, what I was able to give before, now I don't have it. How can I have a deficiency, that first one of 5,000 pounds? I understand if I lose it, but...

M. Laitman: No, no, you don't have a deficiency. They give you a certain feeling of fulfillment, and then this fulfillment disappears, and now you have a feeling of, I have a deficiency, a lack. This is according to the rule, the expansion of the light, and its departure makes the vessel qualified for its role.

Student: Maybe you can explain, what did you mean by, I lack what I was able to give before? How can I lack what I was able to give, which is greater than what I even have? 

M. Laitman: No, there's no such thing. I didn't understand how you're saying it. I had 5,000 pounds. Now I have only 2,000. So I have a deficiency for 3,000 pounds that I've had, and now it's disappeared, and I remained with only 2,000. So what are you asking? That's how you build a deficiency. You build a deficiency only through the fulfillment. This is also what we learn from the wisdom of Kabbalah. First, the light created the vessel, filled the vessel, and then departed from the vessel, left a Reshimo, and through these Reshimo, these records that awaken in the vessel, the vessel begins to yearn for the light, and now we have only one problem, how can the vessel advance towards the light, to be similar to the light and not to receive the light. This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah is all about. 

Student: But this is a deficiency for reception, not for bestowal.  

M. Laitman: The wisdom of Kabbalah is the wisdom of how to receive in order to bestow.

Question (Karmiel): (45:10) We have a great deficiency of a friend now, which we truly feel. You said something about that the deficiency, when it comes, we should fill it with the greatness of the Creator. How do we perform this action when a friend receives some burdening on the path? And we want to complete this with the greatness of the Creator. So how do we do it? 

M. Laitman: Talk about the greatness of the Creator before him more and more. Pray for him and that's it. It's not according to the topic of the lesson, I'm sorry.

Question (PT 35): (46:11) How to use the deficiency correctly in order to expand the vessels from lesson to lesson, from meeting to meeting? 

M. Laitman: Well, you, first of all, need to think about it from the evening before you go to sleep, before the lesson. Whoever is in such a process, we need to think of the deficiency for the lesson in order to receive something from the lesson, just like before a meal, when you know in advance that soon we'll have a special meal. We approach it, we make an intention for it, and accordingly each one receives from it. Each one brings to this meal his own deficiency. That's how it needs to be. You receive the material for the lesson in advance, and you need to try and somehow go over it. 

Student: Besides the materials, we also feel a lot of pressures throughout the day to connect. How to do it so that, as you said, not to receive directly, but to use it correctly at the moment we are in this state? 

M. Laitman: Try to talk to one another about how much each one is aiming himself at the lesson, that's one thing. The other thing, why don’t you connect and ask?  You don't take care for the correct connection.

Question (PT 31): (48:09) Deficiencies awaken in us. How do we know that we were able to fill this deficiency with faith? 

M. Laitman: We have to work on it all the time. And we'll know, according to how we progress, that we try to fulfill them. 

Student: What happens with a deficiency if we don't manage to fill it with faith? 

M. Laitman: It returns in a different form, but it returns, nevertheless. We must do it, nevertheless. We'll learn how to do it. Instead of one, he believes two. It's okay. I see that the questions are not about the article anymore. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (49:17) What can we take from this article for work? 

M. Laitman: There are two paths: the path of suffering and the path of light, the path of Torah. And we need to merit, to rise on the path of Torah, “Rewarded - I shall hasten it.” How were they rewarded? By being pure, refined. How do we refine? By thinking as little as possible about myself and as much as possible about the others. By that, we pass all of our progress to the common vessels of the Ten, and that's how we come closer to the Creator. If we would not connect between us, to take a single step forward towards the Creator, we will not advance. If a generation ago, or a few generations ago, if we lived then, we would be very successful back then. But we are in the last generation. Here we have special conditions for connection, on purpose. So we have no other choice - only the Ten. And through it, forward. That's it. So try to feel how we are becoming closer to one another in the hearts, and help the friends who cannot do it. And it won't do any good to talk to them, but rather to pray for them. To pray for those people whose heart is still hard, and they're unable, and they constantly fall into thoughts about themselves. It's a problem. So if I see it, and I call a few people from the Ten, whose heart is softer, and more advanced, and I speak to them, that we should think about these people who are not able to work with their hearts, and we pray for them. We pray that the Creator will soften their heart, and we'll be able to connect more. And our success, our spiritual success, depends on that. All of us. This is the meaning of, each shall help his friend. So there is no other way. Let's try to work this way.

Question (PT 24): (52:17) What kind of deficiency has a higher quality in our path of the work? Let's say, I come to the lesson, feeling that he's filled with 5,000 pounds, but he nevertheless knows that the ego is playing with him, deluding him. But he manages to bring all of the friends into his heart, and the Creator, he continues the same way, even though he's full. Or on the other hand, he comes to the lesson with, as a rag, feeling anti-everything, but he has a deficiency. He's completely empty. What is the higher quality in the way we work? 

M. Laitman: Let me say it again. The important thing is that we, those who are conscious, who yearn for connection between them and the Creator, they gather and they speak about how they can embrace and strengthen everyone and arrange the walls of the ship in order to advance forward. We have to understand that the Creator is sending those problems, and He's burdening the hearts of those friends who cannot feel themselves in connection, and we have to pray for them, that they… Meaning we have to turn to the Creator. What does it mean to pray for them? To turn to the Creator, so He would, nevertheless, soften their hearts, and they will feel that they lack connection with the rest of the group. This process, whereby they will come closer to the group from their state, where they are unconscious about their lack of connection, this will help them tremendously. And all of us together, only in this way, can we advance. How can we take another step forward, and another by revealing such disturbances, where time and time again, each friend in his own style feels himself or doesn't feel himself, but we all feel it. Or maybe not even feel it so much, but he's drifting apart from the group, and we're making all kinds of efforts to pull him back in, and we have to pray. Even when we don't feel someone is weaker, nevertheless, we need to pray for that. We have nothing else for which to pray, only the connection between us. Don't let it go. Other than holding ourselves together, we have no other chance to advance towards spirituality, true spirituality that might be revealed now. It's not like the great Kabbalists of the past, but this is for all of humanity, the last generation.
