Part 3:

Baal HaSulam. The Peace: The Wheel of Transformation of the Form

Reading Article: (00:20) “First Let Me Present the View our Sages....”

1. R. (01:23) That means that all of the coming out of the souls that appear before us, all comes from one thought, the thought of creation. From this comes the cascading of the generations and we need to see it as that same thought that created everything and from it all the souls come until the last generation.

Continues Reading: (2:00) “Thus in our world, there are no new souls.…”

2. S. (04:53) What does it mean that each one of us has changed his body several thousand times?

R. It is that the desire has changed, the vessel changes, and the filling of the vessel changes, the fulfillment of the new vessel on the new desire, that is called an incarnation. It turns out that everyone incarnates, how many times? Millions of times it doesn't matter how many times.

3. S. (05:38) What is the connection between the souls and the bodies in which they clothe from incarnation to incarnation?

R. The soul is the inner part and the will to receive is the external part.

S. The will to receive develops the soul and gives it an opportunity to develop?

R. Yes.

S. How can we define the soul, it is not a will to receive, and it is not light, so how do we define soul?

R. The soul is light and the vessel.

4. S. (06:29) The souls that reincarnate on a change of the changing desires that is clear, but there is this question that keeps popping up, what's the physical body like a black hole, it is not clear.

R. There is no physical body, we take into account only the spiritual essence. Clear?

5. S. (07:28) He writes that he doesn't work with his essence as the sages of physics have demonstrated, what does it mean, what are the wise people of physics show?

R. I don't know, where is that sentence?

S. It is at the end of the paragraph that we read.

R. Reading, “And although our senses tell us that everything is transient it is only how we see it, and in fact, there are only incarnations here. Each item is not still and it's not at rest for a moment but incarnates on the wheel of transformation of the form. Losing nothing of its essence along its way as physicists have shown.” What are you asking?

S. It is like the law of energy conservation?

R. Let us say so, I don't know what you want to scrutinize.

S. What is the thing that is not lost, what is left?

R. What has remained and in exchange comes a new clothing, a new form, and another form, and another form, and in this way everyone clothes upon everyone.

6. S. (09:13) The article evokes millions of questions, what is a soul? We learned that we have no soul, we acquire it during the study, is this energy?

R. The soul is what fills the will to receive. The screen and reflected light can receive in order to bestow some kind of resemblance to the Creator. Somewhat the will to receive resembles the Creator, in the will to receive it is called a soul, holiness.

S. These souls get corrected from one incarnation to another, or do they become worse, or to the contrary? We learned that from the first and second destruction, there is a descent.

R. No, no, we are coming closer to the Creator, whether we feel it or not depends on different kinds of periods.

7. S. (10:38) What is the most important thing when you are building a soul?

R. Restriction screen and reflected light on the will to receive makes out of the world to receive a soul.

8. S. (11:11) Why is there a concealment in a person from all the incarnations he has been through, why can't he get to know them and learn from them?

R. When it is needed, he will get that feeling and knowledge, except for that, nothing disappears or is lost, everything is revealed in all kinds of forms in a person advancing.

S. Why do we need incarnations, why do we need to die and be born, why can’t we do it all at once?

R. It has nothing to do with being born and dying, that is something completely different, that is beastliness. Here we are talking about resembling the Creator as much as we come close to the Creator by restriction screen and reflected light, equivalence of form.

9. S. (12:20) It says that the soul does not suffer, how are we to understand that?

R. It does not feel that anything was lost of it.

10. S. (12:52) Are the souls of the Kabbalist also reincarnated and why does it say that this is the last generation?

R. The last generation means the generation that will really be the last one. If you count the generations from the first generation that came after the first Adam, what's good about the last generation is that it is the final correction, the end of corrections, that is what we learned.

11. S. (13:46) The thought is whole, complete, and the beginning and the end of the action, but the actions that the created being is going through take place inside within the skin, and the skin helps the created beings to realize the actions that exist in a complete thought consciously of the created being. I would also like to connect it to the first part of the lesson, the Creator created the Torah, the plan, and the help of the Creator to reach conscious understanding and the revelation of this upper thought.

R. Yes, completely correct.

12. S. (14:45) Question from a friend who is translating, it says that the Creator does not consider the body, so why do the bodies need to suffer so much in order for the soul to develop?

R. The bodies need to correct themselves from the will to receive in order to receive till the will to receive in order to bestow, that is called correcting the bodies. According to that, the light that fills the body goes through all kinds of stages of NRNHY. Then as much as they go through it together, what happens in them is that one supports the other, and that supports the other and then light and vessel become as one. That is called that the darkness will shine as light.

S. He is asking why we need so much suffering though, for this soul to develop?

R. That is in order to teach man what is worth doing. If a person gets the right guidance and takes it seriously and according to what he understands he advances, so there's no suffering. There are opportunities to correct oneself, obviously, it also needs exertion and according to that, he needs to connect to the friends, correct himself, and pray to the Creator. There is a lot of work and a lot of exertion, but it is not suffering anymore.

13. S. (16:44) All of these souls undergo the entire correction from the beginning of creation to the end of creation only to reach the question of what is the meaning of life, the connection with friends, the upper force?

R. Yes.

S. Is it enough that the intensity of 600,000 souls, is it enough for them to reach a connection between them in order to bestow to all of creation and the Creator? As it says, each and every beast and person in the world has to go through this process?

R. Every individual has to go through the process.

14. S. (17:53) The soul undergoes an incarnation that brings us closer to the Creator, I'm connecting to people, He also said to embrace, and open the hearts in the bodies. How do we realize the connection between the two? I embrace the person who has my soul, this eternal soul that incarnates 6,000 years and it is expressed through the body that I am able to do this action on.

R. Yes.

S. Where do I connect them, in my soul?

R. Through your soul.

15. S. (18:39) What is the one thought that causes the revelation of the soul?

R. What is the one thought that causes the revelation of the soul? The thought that wants to advance to come closer to the Creator, to adhere to Him more, invites forces from above that they work on the soul and draw it towards the Creator. That is how it works.

16. S. (19:44) The soul, the corrected state of the soul at any given moment of the Kli at any given moment?

R. Correct.

S. What is the transition from one body to the next? It belongs to the Kli, it cannot exist without a Kli this soul?

R. We learn how the same Partzuf exchanges coarseness and the screen and the reflected light, everything changes in him. According to that the feeling changes and in this way, it advances to the degrees of Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, Yechida, and so on. Alright, goodbye everybody, until tomorrow. All the best in health and success.
