The
Arvut
[Mutual
Guarantee],
item
28
“Now,
if
you
surely
listen
to
My
voice
and
keep
My
covenant,”
meaning
make
a
covenant
on
what
I
am
telling
you
here:
to
be
My
Segula
from
among
all
peoples.
This
means
that
you
will
be
My
Segula,
and
sparks
of
purification
and
cleansing
of
the
body
will
pass
through
you
onto
all
the
peoples
and
the
nations
of
the
world,
for
the
nations
of
the
world
are
not
yet
ready
for
this,
and
at
any
rate,
I
need
one
nation
to
start
with
now,
so
it
will
be
as
a
remedy
for
all
the
nations.
For
this
reason,
He
ends,
“for
all
the
earth
is
Mine,”
meaning
all
the
peoples
of
the
earth
belong
to
Me,
as
do
you,
and
are
destined
to
adhere
to
Me.
But
now,
while
they
are
still
incapable
of
performing
that
task,
I
need
a
virtuous
people.
51. R. There are a lot of people in the world that have a lot of desires but if there's a person who has a desire for the Creator he belongs to Yashar Kel, towards the Creator, and to that group The Creator aims and yearns and comes closer to.
*Reader “you will be my remedy...”(01:36 - 01:51)*
R. Meaning of those who don't have a tendency to reveal the Creator like we have
*Reader “for all the nations of the world...”(1:58 - 02:05)
R. That is called the nations of the world, those who don't have any tendency to reveal the Creator
*Reader “and at any rate I need one nation..”(02:13 - 02:48)*
R. Meaning we need to be that same passage that has to connect between the Creator and all of the people on Earth, all of humanity, that is our role and that is what the Creator is yearning for. This conduit, that role, is just to be the conduit, you receive the desire from the Creator and a yearning from Creator and this is the role that you have to realize serving all of the people on the Earth who have no desire for it, but he has to give it to them from the Creator all of this awakening and the method and the Revelation and the fulfillment. That is our work. So we need to be proud of it, that we are the Creator’s servants as we say, that we are helping the Creator reveal himself in all of humanity. That is why we are called the workers of the Creator, his servants. So, let's do it.
55. S. (03:59) Baal HaSulam uses the words Segulah many times, what is this word, it's hard to translate into other languages
R. It is a means, meaning that if you use it you will get to what you want to attain. That is Segulah.
56. S. (04:32) The people that we disseminate to just the fact that we are disseminating to these people does this mean that these people are ready to receive?
R. We are in an era that, whether we want it or not, whether we are ready for it or not, whether we understand or not, whether we can hear or not, we have to say it to them. Even though they shut their eyes and shut their ears, it doesn't matter, we need to let them know as much as possible. Because we are in a state where all of the parts, the shattered parts of the vessel of Adam HaRishon they have to start moving towards connection between them.
S. It doesn't matter whether we're doing it right or not as long as we have the right intention and give it everything we've got, that is all that matters, yes?
R. Yes, try and do it as right as we can and from time to time it will get better and that is how we will advance.
57. S. (05:55) He says that through you sparks of Purity will spread through all the nations of the world.
R. To the extent that you give to people who are not in the process of purification or getting closer to the Creator, you bestow upon them and you still give them your inspiration in that way, you promote them toward it.
S. How do you do it?
R. You do it, but I don't even want to tell you where you are and what great things that you are doing, I don't want to spoil you.
58.
S.
(06:51)
What
qualities
do
we
need
to
be
in
the
state
Segulah?
R.
When
you
feel
from
the
friends
and
from
within
them,
the
Creator,
are
standing
next
to
you
and
you
can
use
that
Force
to
disseminate
the
method
of
connection
and
the
Creator
who
is
revealed
in
this
to
all
of
the
Nations,
to
all
of
humanity.
S. What is demanded of us to do in the ten?
R. This I won't tell you now, you have to find out yourself, scrutinize it. Such questions I can't deal with any more, you have the material, you have everything and if you're still asking any additional explanation for me will not help.
*Excerpt 71 Reader (08:02 - 08:57)*
71. Maor Eynaim, Yitro [Jethro]
It is known that the whole world, with all created beings, must receive their vitality from the Creator all the time and at any given moment. Therefore, it is appropriate and fitting for the righteous to be a medium between the Creator and the entire world, to connect everything to Him, to make a pathway and a track, a passage for the abundance and vitality, and a pipeline to pour down to all created beings. He is the one who unites heaven and earth, who connects the whole world to the Creator, so they will not part from Him.
59. R. This is our goal to connect all human beings all created beings, the whole world, to the upper force and then the Creator will be revealed and fill everyone and we will come to the end of correction, to the complete Redemption, to an eternal and complete world. When there is nothing bad that will be able to be revealed, we don't know what it is, but we can push ourselves towards it. This is why all kinds of problems and troubles are emerging, so that we will have the strength to be able to come out from the bad and somehow come to the good. It is hard for us to imagine the good because we don't know the spiritual world, the bad the Creator helps us by revealing it, the more that we try to be in both and the more that we can picture the bad and the good things in a mass of people, the more power we will have to push ourselves in the spiritual direction, this is why we need to dissemination. So as much as we can we need to describe the bad they can be revealed and as much as we can we need to unite people together to run away from the bad to get to the good and then we will get to it. Of course, if people, with strangers we can't talk about bringing contentment to the Creator, because they're not willing to move toward connection for this purpose. Only for their own egoistic nature but when we get these deficiencies from them, they pass them through us and then they get the right correction on their intention and their egoistic intention becomes corrected in us and therefore comes to the Creator in the right way.
60. S. (11:21) You already talked about it that many of these suffering, War, the Holocaust, that nothing worked, nothing helped. on our kabbalistic path in what way do we have to feel suffering in order to advance?
R. From what we're all suffering now, from what happened, happened, it was in that world not in the present world, when we are all getting counted, like all of humanity before the Creator, there was no such thing they were peoples and countries and all different time frames now there is one time frame that is aiming for the revelation of the Creator to the created being and all of the created beings, all of humanity all over the planet. So from this day onward, we will all get blows together, everyone together. We should know about it and we all yearn for the Creator, with this great burden that we have to come to bestowal, if it is difficult, if we spread it out throughout the Earth it is not so much of a problem, let us all us ask and the Creator won't avoid it and he will do us a favor and help us.
S. We who study this wisdom do we have to understand or feel this suffering?
R. Some feel and some understand, but we have to aspire for both.
61. S. (13:14) He says whoever makes a path for the abundance, are we doing part of that job?
R. Yes, a path and a trail, Bishviel, we are creating a path or a trail to know the force to all of the troubles that the Creator.
S. Can we be optimistic Sunday after Rosh Hashanah?
R. Of course otherwise how can I tolerate you?
S. Can we really say we're advancing and taking away sickness from the world?
R. It is all within our power for certain.
S. Something good is happening?
R. Yes but we have to continue.
S. Thank God.
62. S. (14:27) What he writes hear about the lively Force that comes down to the world at what moment can we as a group or a ten pass this on?
R. When you are connected among you in a ten and you want to connect others to your ten in order to extend onwards, so that you will be only in a transition so that the ten will be a conduit and then you arrange it, then you are building the system, it is a different relation. If you are only taking into consideration your own ten then you are concerned only with yourselves that is one thing, which is also good but it's not enough. If you have to be concerned with passing these things on from your ten onwards, then it is a different consideration with regards to you from above, then you are considered like a pipeline, a conduit and a conduit isn't a ten anymore a conduit is something that bestows upon others for the whole system of Adam HaRishon so then you are already in the system. Even if you bestow just a little bit to some part outside of the ten you are already acting as a conduit, as a pipeline. As a part of Adam HaRishon and not just as a cell. So, it is a completely different calculation, you have to disseminate and advertise as much as you can.
S. Dissemination is clear it's something we're doing and all kinds of projects, how do we build such a pipeline correctly?
R. Work more and more until the heart wants it, do you know when the heart will want it, when you take the group and another group and another group and start working with them and bringing them closer. This adopted group, when you begin to care about working with them they become important to you.
S. You mean other tens?
R. Other terms are something else, people outside of the tens, we need to connect with in the ten, and we need to connect between the tens and we need to disseminate the wisdom of Kabbalah outside of our tens. There is connection between us, between the tens that is also pipelines, but this is not what it's about. It is about disseminating expansively to all of humanity, this is called reaching the days of the Messiah. This is already the final correction.
*Excerpt 72 Reader (18:03 - 18:21)*
72. Baal HaSulam, "The Arvut [Mutual Guarantee]", No. 24
The Israeli nation had been constructed as a sort of gateway by which sparks of purity would flow onto the entire human race throughout the world.
And these sparks multiply daily, like one who gives to the treasurer until they are filled sufficiently, meaning until they develop to such an extent that they can understand the pleasantness and tranquility that are found in the kernel of love of others, for then they will know how to shift the balance to the side of merit, and will place themselves under His burden, and the side of sin will be eradicated from the earth.
63. R. It is that group, which is directed toward the Creator called Israel, the Israeli Nation should disseminate itself to everyone, to the whole world.
*Reader continues“The Sparks multiply daily....”(18:36 - 19:15)*
64. R. About disseminating the wisdom of Kabbalah to everyone and especially to the nations of the world, the method of correction, the method of connection, for this the whole world, the Orthodox and religious world especially the Orthodox they are very mad at us, furious, this is why we have so many enemies among religious Jews. What can you do, it is a result of the exile of the wisdom of kabbalah being clothed, shut out, therefore they don't know what the wisdom of Kabbalah says about it. That was the complaint against about Baal Shem Tov and Ramchal and many more people, this is why Baal HaSulam writes about it that even Maimonides suffered about it, we need to understand that we don't have any choice that we need to bow our heads and tolerate this trash that they throw at us and keep going.
*Excerpt 73 Reader (20:49 - 21:46)*
73. Baal HaSulam. Article “The Love of God and the Love of Man”
The Israeli nation was to be a “passage.” This means that to the extent that Israel cleanse themselves by observing the Torah, so they pass their power on to the rest of the nations. And when the rest of the nations also sentence themselves to the side of merit, the Messiah will be revealed, whose role is not only to qualify Israel to the ultimate goal of Dvekut with Him, but to teach the ways of the Creator to all the nations, as it is written, “And all nations will flow unto Him.”
65. S. How people who don't have the desire to bestow on Creator will be so at the end of correction, in which actions or intentions?
R. Tell me let's say you're sick, God forbid, and there's only one doctor but you don't like him, and God forbid you are dangerous with you, wouldn't you go to that doctor? The one who is the only one or would you not go?
S. Yes.
R. Yes, so the fact that they want it or don't want it doesn't makes no difference, we're only telling them that the Creator will push us through great suffering in that direction, toward that correction. If we want to wait until we get more and more blows, that means dying and living and dying again and living again, something very bad including another world nuclear war, if this is what they want by all means, what can I do? We are disseminating information that you can come to it and be healthy and happy through correction, through agreement between us. Why do we need to cause ourselves such big troubles? So, try to explain it to yourselves and to others that the upper Force has two ways, the left side, the bad forces and the right side of the good forces. Whether you want it or not, you choose, you choose how with which he will influence you. What if according to his schedule, according to his plan, you today have to advance from state A to state B and you're not advancing by your own desire and he pinches you somehow and you will want to advance, it is very simple. This is how we have to see our situation, our fates. Let us try to advance in a good way. Like a smart kid.
*Excerpt 74, 75 Reader (24:33 - 25:40)*
74. Likutei Halachot, “The Blessing for the Scent, and a Blessing of Thanksgiving,” Rule No. 4
There is a medium between all the worlds and the Creator, and it is the Israeli soul, which is very high at its root and is truly a Godly part. It is the medium that connects all the worlds with the Creator, and through it, the abundance and vitality and existence are drawn to all the worlds. For this reason, everything depends on Israel.

Rav
Kook,
Israel’s
Vocation
and
Its
Nationalism
Only
when
the
Torah
is
exercised
in
Israel
will
complete
peace
and
faithful
love
come,
and
the
pure
feeling
of
recognizing
the
brotherhood
between
people
will
develop…
When
that
development
is
completed
within

at

that
merits

to

all
the

will

it,

in
the
world.
66. S. Can you explain in your words what it means, revelation of the Messiah, we also say that we start hearing the Shofar?
R. It is a force, the method of correction and the force to attract, the power to attract.
S. Can you explain what starts happening to leaders?
R. If we ourselves are drawn towards connection and we want to draw the whole world towards connection then we must add to it, we have to add the intention to bestow upon the Creator. For the rest of the world they don't need this intention, but if we do it this way then it turns out that we connect the whole world which is called Aviut, ZA and Malchut. Under our intention which is in order to bestow, the degree Binah, by this we prepare the whole common and general vessel of Adam HaRishon for the correction that the light of Chochmah will influence and connect and correct all of the pieces.
S. So, we are working with the intention to bestow we are developing it?
R. We BB, but the whole world only wants to connect to run away from their troubles. You can't demand of them intentions by doing what we recommend. With our supervision, we will bring our connection with Chochmah and Binah through us to ZON, and then they will receive the abundance that will correct them as well to work in order to bestow.
S. That is the question towards us to pass the abundance means to be in the intention to bestow what happens when the abundance goes to them, how do they feel it?
R. They will get the understanding and feeling for connection.
S. Will they have the development of the intention to bestow?
R. Yes, but it will come to them at once and not gradually as it is with us.
S. The same attainments in the same abundance only one?
R. Yes, but according to the same degree. You have an Institute that invents some idea, afterwards it goes to a different Institute, we're constructors, engineers work there and develop it, afterwards it goes down to technology and from technology it goes to construction, the assembly line and they begin to work with materials until it becomes a product initially conceived in thought
S. So, by us working in intentions they will know how to make new politics and new culture?
R. Everything will come down to them gradually and they will know what to do because that has to do with their work, what has to do with their work they will know. But when they are connected to us and we truly become together, one mechanism, then they will also receive the understanding and feeling from us and we will receive MAN from them and they will MAD from us and the whole mechanism, the whole common soul of Adam Ha Rishon will be as one unit and everyone will discover the light Yechidah, and this is called that the Lord will be King over all the Earth, overall the desire over all the degrees of desire, in that day the Lord will be One and His Name One and the darkness will shine as light. okay?
67. S. (30:39) There are such moments in the world that people feel an awakening, and uplifting, is that also the lights?
R. Everything we feel, each and every one of us from a particle of an atom to all of the created beings, people and beyond, it is all done and all moves it all changes and exists only through the upper light. Only through the Upper Light.
S. It doesn't go through Israel but a different way?
R. It comes to everyone the question is to what extent do they feel it? A person living in this world just like that, isn't aware of why, how, what for and from where, he just exists. From dawn to dusk he thinks only about looking for the most convenient comfortable way to live.
S. We see from all of these excerpts that we read that Arvut comes along with the role, this is for the conduit?
R. Yes, it is the action.
S. Somehow Baal HaSulam writes in places that we feel a separation, there's a connection between us and the dissemination to the world, why is there a split in perception, why is there connection in the ten and out towards the world as if it's not one?
R. It's still correct because first we have to connect among us because we have to have a common force and then to disseminate out of this common force to disseminate the purpose and then with this common force, those to whom we disseminate they will feel this participation, before that they won't feel it. If you are working on your own in dissemination, you are disseminating but to disseminate means to disseminate the purpose and then with this common force, those to whom we disseminate they will feel this participation, before it they won't feel it. If you are working on your own in dissemination, you're disseminating but to disseminate Arvut you have to have some sort of force of connection. Otherwise it won't happen. Because you speak but there's no power in your words. Arvut you have to have some sort of force of connection. Otherwise it won't happen. Because you speak but there's no power in your words.
S. To attain that Arvut is without taking the purpose into account what we're trying to attain?
R. You can't receive from them the deficiency before you go out to them and you can't go out with Arvut if you're not connected. So there is a certain precision here
S. It's very confusing because sometimes we put more emphasis on one or the other.
R. This is how we learn.
S. What is the key, what is the principle that you should settle the contradiction between connection in the ten and the conduit to the world?
R. Connection in the ten comes first we have always learned that.
S. Can it be as a first-stage only to connection in the ten?
R. Only as a connection in the ten as Rabash writes in his articles, he doesn’t say that by connection in the ten you should already think about how you will disseminate afterwards to the world, no, first connecting to ten, start feeling that you have this issue of connecting, afterwards when you obtain connection you can come out and disseminates. Otherwise your power is not spiritual power, spirituality is connection.
S. To our matter today is it enough to think about connection in the ten or connection in the ten in order to be a conduit?
R. Ideally it's in order to disseminate it to the world because we were already in the time of the Messiah.
S. So is this the right answer for today or is it right for our days and onward
R. For our days and onward.
