Baal HaSulam. Peace in the World (In Practical Life, the Four Attributes Contradict One Another)

https://kabbalahmedia.info/sources/hqUTKcZz

Reading Peace in the Work (00:21): from heading “In Practical Life, the Four Attributes Contradict One Another”

1. R. (05:55) Meaning it is clear to us from what he explains, or maybe we should read a few more times, but that there cannot be peace in the public in these four attributes that we are made of. That has happened purposely, that only by combining these four attributes correctly when they are all aimed towards the Creator in order to bestow, only in that way can the world reach calmness and not constantly be arming itself in wars and all kinds of arguments.

2. S. (06:51) It feels that the world is really divided between the people who look for truth and those who look for justice. Where should the dialogue go in the world instead of that kind of argument?

R. Nowhere. Whatever you take, any direction, if it is not towards connection above all differences, disturbances, so it will still go in the bad direction. We finally need to understand this. The problem is to understand that people in countries and rulers see that there's no way to reach any balance or anything, so they lose all their foundations. There used to be the socialists, the communists, the capitalists, all kinds, and each and every one try to do all kinds of equalities and so on. Now, when it is clear to everybody that there cannot be any quality in nothing and it is all sole gain beforehand. There is no goal that shines, that is clear to the world that it is worth advancing towards in any country, anywhere. Each one only wraps himself, every ruler, every regime wraps itself in all kinds of forms - national or finance, economy, but it is only to exist, control for a certain time and that is it. It is clear to everyone that it will not change anything, and we have no way to control our lives and aim ourselves to a better state. We do not know what the better state is in every country, in every society and in every man. Each man has an inner argument. That is why we just need to reveal the evil, that is what we need. From that, we will see how the good path will be revealed to us. But obviously, it is not before we will discover that we are in complete helplessness.

3. S. (09:58) What does it mean that Providence didn't give them the nimbleness and the ability so there's no condition for the state of peace? How can you say what you said before?

R. Providence brings us to recognition of our own evil, our own nature. So we will still ask - this is all we have, is there anything above this? Then, we will get the advice the Kabbalists give us to rise to faith above reason, the force of bestowal upon the force of reception.

S. You said there cannot be peace before between these four attributes, and it only happens in the right combination. What is the right combination if Providence interferes here?

R. Specifically Providence will set up the combination between all these attributes.

S. What is this combination?

R. That they will all be aimed at deeds in order to give contentment to the Creator, not between us to organize states of wholeness, but through the contact with the Creator and in Him.

S. Still you have those who are more nimble, and those who are more clever, and those who are weaker. How does it fall into place?

R. That doesn't matter if you do it for the sake of the Creator. We are the ones who are doing it. So each one does it because the Creator created him in such a way. That is why he has nothing less than the others. But his whole work is to bring out of himself the desire, the direction, the doing, the correct amount of work in order to give the Creator contentment.

S. What determines a person’s progress in spirituality?

R. As much as he connected to the others to give contentment to the Creator in order to establish the image of the Creator between them.

S. So it doesn't depend on his cleverness or quality?

R. Completely not.

S. What does it depend on?

R. Only on agreeing on the purpose of creation.

4. S. (12:37) I didn’t really understand the definition. He says that mercy contradicts truth. At first, he described truth being the form of the final correction.

R. Truth is that everyone gets what he deserves, and mercy contradicts the truth, that we have to be giving to all, mercy to all.

S. Yes. What he deserves, any else will take his part. That is part of the truth as well?

R. Could be.

S. So, it's not clear because he gives two definitions for truth in this article. One time he says, what is mine is mine, and what is yours is yours, that is the measure of truth, everyone receives what they deserve. In the beginning of the article, he says it's the form of the final of the final correction where everyone receives his share, but also gives to everyone else.

R. Truth is truly the form of Gmar Tikkun [end of correction]. The truth will rise from the land.

S. So it's ‘’what is mine is mine, what is yours is yours,’’ or is it ‘’what is yours is yours, what is mine is yours?’’

R. No, not neither. It is when we all connect in the Creator. That is the form of Gmar Tikkun [end of correction].

S. But what does it mean in terms of what he defines here, ‘’what mine is mine, what yours is yours,’’ etc.?

R. ‘’Mine is mine and yours is yours’’ is a sodomite attribute. ‘’Yours is mine, mine is yours’’ is the opposite of ‘’mine is mine, and yours is yours.’’ All these divisions are not corrected because there is no intention here. Everything we are doing is in order to connect between us and the Creator to give Him a place for Him to be revealed in the creative beings, that He will be glad from us. We should not see these four attributes, but to take the uniqueness of each and every one, that through society it will be aimed to the Creator. That is what we need.

S. Afterwards, it is unclear why he says the attribute of justice contradicts peace, and then he says that peace is those who want ‘’what is mine is mine, and what is yours is yours’’ to happen. Is that called peace?

R. Look at these examples and definitions. Look in the text at what he says.

S. I'm looking, and he gives contradictory definitions. At first, he says that the truth is the form of the final correction, that everyone receives his share and gives all to society. Then later on, he says ‘’what is mine is mine, what is yours is yours.’’

R. No, that is on the way. That in this way we want to keep our society, that no one will enter the others’ borders. They will know that first of all what he has is his, and he cannot enter the others’ borders. But obviously, it is not the final corrected form.

S. What is the final corrected form? How does it change with the change of intention?

R. We are all adhered with the Creator, and there we see that in adhesion with Him, between us in Him, that He is between us. In that, we reach the correct connection, that there are no differences between us, that all of our desires become one desire actually, and that we in that desire to receive of ours we reach revelation of the Creator, one for all.

S. That is thanks to change the intention?

R. It is thanks to the correct connection between us as cells in one body. That every cell, as much as it participates in the whole body, receives from the whole body. All in all, they feel themselves alive.

S. When you go and explain this article, it turns out it is very much based on the wisdom of Kabbalah as a basis for all the premises here. Starting from the Creator and to other things it can’t be explained in a simple rational way, this article. Is it correct, or am I wrong?

R. In the end, the solution obviously not, we can’t without the wisdom of Kabbalah. But for now, just for scrutinizing the four attributes we use what we have in this world, as much as it is realistic or not to use these attributes.

S. Because he gives such definitions, and today definitions are so vague. He gives you, like truth, when each one receives his share and gives all his contribution, and that is the form of the final correction. Why that? Why that one?

R. I can’t talk to you out of the air like that - this is the form, and this isn’t the form. Give me a certain paragraph here, and we will talk about it, read it and discuss it. You are taking from the beginning of the article, then from the end of the article. You can’t, it is not the right way to put it. Also, I don't know where your confusion is. Try to put all that together in such a way, then we can see it.

5. S. (19:45) I'm also not clear on the definitions, what he says here in the truth ‘’what mine is mine, what is yours is yours,’’ is what we usually call today justice.

R. Don't be confused with what is right today. I am asking you, leave me alone from this world and what they think is accepted, because here with people there is another confusion. Don't bring in here all the philosophy and science, just base yourself on what he is saying.

S. At first, he says we should be based on the measure of truth, and because we can’t, we try to work with the three others. So it is like truth is higher, and because we can't, we use the other three? Here, he talks about these four as if they are on the same level. So how to look at it correctly? We have to reach the truth but we can’t?

R. You have what he calls the attributes that come before, that they all existed in order to reach the truth. How do we reach the truth? If we use all these attributes in the connection between us towards the Creator. Then, from these efforts the truth will grow from the land.

S. If everything ultimately happens in the connection with the Creator, there is no other way. So what's the importance of all these definitions and attributes?

R. He wants to show you that the public has no hope in reaching calmness and in organizing life.

S. So at the end, the conclusion is that no human form, social form, has any chance to succeed?

R. Correct. That is what He wants to show you. That from the four attributes we exist in, we cannot do anything but the method of Kabbalah, let's say, call it like that.

S. I think that it is already felt in the world that no forms are working, but it is unclear how from that they will come to something higher. I don't see that direction.

R. Check this whole article. Scrutinize it very well, maybe connected to other places where Baal HaSulam talks about it. Then, you will see that what you get. Please, do that work and you will have something very special. You will be able to present it to the world.

S. What should we expect from people being despaired from all the previous forms we try today, and then we see nothing is working?

R. Correct, but we can’t help them to get disappointed. That is what Baal HaSulam wants to say. It is too bad, in all these efforts trying to reach a good state, because there is no chance for it. That is what he's trying to do with this research.

S. In the next stage from all these disappointments what is supposed to happen?

R. We will take the attributes called the wisdom of Kabbalah, the method of a connection between people that want to discover the Creator between them.

S. Who is us, humanity?

R. Humanity, yes. Why not? The Creator is one for all.

S. How will they reach it? They will be despaired, then what?

R. By connecting to us. We will connect between us in a way that the Creator will be between us. Then, in such a way we will reach the connection between us and the Creator, and humanity will be around us, along with us. That is what Baal HaSulam describes at the end of the ‘’Introduction to the Book of Zohar.” In this way we can reach it, and specifically the nations of the world are the ones that are going to push us to such a unity, and we will perform that unity.

6. S. (24:42) There was Marx’s book ‘Das Kapital’ who gave a foundation for society at that time. The article of Baal HaSulam basically describes the conditions of the last generation. Is there a way that this can be such a foundation like Marx's article?

R. Please do it, do it. Take a translation, just a good one, I don’t know what you have. Take a good certain translation out, check it according to the original, and do a project on it. It will be a very relevant work for our days, very relevant, actual, because everybody understands that today, for sure the whole world, there are no socialist, capitalist, Marxists. Whatever you say, today there is no direction. It is clear to everybody that there cannot be because all directions are for themselves. So if it is such, present a way how to get out of this, that the way we have now, obviously, we are just rolling into a war. A war, arguments, fights, because there's no other solution, there are no connections. For a long time already we are only holding onto each other only through trade, but that will end soon, too. You will see what is going to happen soon. You will not have any resources in the Earth. Anyway, there's nothing to talk about that. Anyway, this article is very relevant. You can work on it and publish it. Make of it a great dissemination and a great good to all of humanity.

S. Just to be more clarified, if we can practically write whether the conditions for the connections in all realms of human life? And not for the in order to bestow and all that, because these concepts don’t exist here at all?

R. Yes. He says in advance in this article. How does he say it? He says why we are not reaching peace in the world, ‘’the advice of the world correctors in testing them in front of reality, observing the good that relies on truth and mercy, and peace, what is hinted in the Book of Psalms.’’ Meaning, here, he is going for realistic things.

S. Is it possible to talk about how to divide salaries, and how to redistribute wealth and all that?

R. That will have to be the plan for the development of the world in our time until Gmar Tikkun [end of correction], that we have gone through all previous states of connection between humans. Today we are in a state that we do not know where to go towards. There is no one jumping - well, there is always people who jump up, but there's no one serious that can show us that he has, and where he will have it, that he has some kind of clear plan, direction, method, that can promise all of humanity to reach the good. That is it, none. Here we are truly in a very special state, and that is us, and that is why it is called the last generation. Here we have to do this work, so please, try. Try and take this article with a pencil or on the computer, no matter how, start doing such work on it, it is worth it. You will also feel what world we are in, and how we can disseminate the method of correction correctly, the only method of correction in the whole world.

S. So we need to develop for the last generation the economic method?

R. We need to develop not only an economic method, but the method of connection between the people in the countries, meaning a social method, political economic international method of connection. Actually, what we want is to reach a method of connection that will answer all the questions and bring us to the good state. Now, it is very important for the world now that time is starting.

7. S. (31:26) Recently you are recommending all the tens to go through articles of Rabash. Is it possible to learn that in the morning lesson, maybe on Saturdays? In the meantime, we are following the advice of learning the articles of tomorrow each day, and we don’t get to the Rabash article.

R. I do not know. I'm not responsible on your times, and I cannot value the amount of hours, the day or the night. That is why you have to see what to do, I can’t. But obviously, at least the social articles of Rabash. We have them all in one place?

Reader: Yes, everything is organized.

R. Go to our archive and see all Rabash ‘Social Writings.’ It is not a lot, right?

Reader: Between twenty and thirty.

R. Try and read every day. Let’s say, I don’t know, ten minutes, fifteen minutes. You will see as much as it helps.

S. But if it is not possible to do it in the ten, can you do it on your own?

R. Maybe we should if you can’t make it. Yourself do it alone, that is good, too.

8. S. (33:22) What is the thing that prevents a person the most from working for the Creator gladly?

R. Again.

S. What prevents a person the most from working for the Creator with joy?

R. That he gets support from the environment.
