Baal HaSulam. Peace in the World (Practical Difficulties in Determining the Truth)
Peace article: Practical difficulties in determining the truth (0:29- 01:29)
1.R. (01:30) Meaning the upper force the upper light that was working Upon us brought us through these four attributes, mercy, truth, justice and, peace to our present state.
Reader continues: “has already been written…” (01:48)
R. (02:10) In order to avoid trouble we can engage in our development through these four attributes and then we can better our development without wars, hunger, death, and such things that are being revealed and revealed each part of history we go through, we see before us even greater threat. Atom bombs, forces of nature, hurricanes, volcanoes anything you can think of. Now biological attacks are coming from nature on people with all these viruses and so on. He says it's better for us to take the law of development in our hand I guess we can sow
Reader continues: “Thus we can scrutinize those four properties….” (03:22)
3. R. (03:39) Meaning we will use our studies from history and our experience from history to have a better tomorrow, so that it will be easier to go through this life here.
Reader continues: (03:54) “practical difficulties in determining the truth….”
4. R. (04:37) I think that's clear to everybody if we were connected in such a way each one felt the need to help the other. Like a mother feels towards her children so all the best.
Reader continues all this is but…” (04:52)
5. R. (05:00) That we are in a system where every cell is concerned with the whole body and in this way, we are interconnected and all the best will be to everyone.
Reader continues: “but the drawback is…. “(5:12)
6. R. (05:42) Meaning we are in a society bigger, smaller, developing, but we see that we constantly have a desire to steal to eat the other to push the other. We are never participating in a normal fashion like in one body. We are always in a battlefield between us. Why? if we all belong from above, we are from one source, why do we do this?
Reader continues: (06:29) “when you closely examine….”
7. R. (07:29) Meaning each one receives from the public what he deserves but….
Reader continues: “but how do we think that we can….” (07:39)
8. R. (08:29) Meaning we are not made in an equal way. We don't come out of a machine that just prints us in a mold that we are exactly like one another, we are different according to our characters, our qualities for his mind everything, there is no one that resembles the other. That's why we cannot demand from one person like we demand from the other and to give to one person like we give to the other. Meaning, we have a problem that stems from our source. That we come from the shattering which makes us all different, none of us resembles the other. So how can we build a human society that will be equal in connection correctly?
Reader continues: “that is because by Nature….” (09:23)
9. R. (10:45) I'm not smart enough like my friend and he is successful and I'm not. That's how it was in school, that's how it was in university, that's what happened in the workplace. We came together and he's always successful. He's smarter and he has more physical force and I can't. I'm not, so I have to work much more I have to prepare. I remember that in school I had to study and prepare myself for much more hours and in the university and then at work when we started. He does it all easily and he also advances at his work easily and I need to invest much more time and effort and I come home exhausted. I don't see my life is good. Where does this come from? It comes from above from nature that made me this way and him. Who's guilty? The Creator is. But what are you do about it? Meaning we're already in states after the shattering of the vessels that nobody is equal to the other and of course in such a way it's clear to us that we cannot play it in equality there is no equality there can't be equality. We can't weigh internal forces and external forces of people in order to be able to relate to them equally. We can't. We don't have such a computer and such a huge factory that can calculate all people according to the way they are and give each one like they get to the others according to their natural qualities, there is no such thing, it is impossible. What do we do? Meaning there's no hope to reach the truth. So what do you do?
Reader continues “end if we also consider the natural law…” (12:53)
10. S. (16:43) Baal HaSulam brings four qualities, Hesed, truth, justice and peace. Why does he speak only about those qualities? Why didn't he speak about love and fear? They also govern the world. What is the root of these four attributes
R. These four attributes we will learn about where it comes from in a minute. It comes from the four phases of the light expanding into the will to receive, then we'll understand why other qualities or attributes no reason have to take them into account. After we work with these four attributes. But it's the correct question.
11. S. (17:43) You said earlier that we should take the law of development into our own hands and use all of those things so we would feel better in life against wars and against Corona against all the mess. What does it mean to take the law of development into our own hands?
R. If we develop ourselves and not by these the upper forces pushing us to develop. The question is who is pulling ahead? If we get an impulse from behind to develop through problems and troubles, it's a bad path. If we are drawn. ourselves to the goal it's a good way, it's a desired way. It all depends on how we take the purpose of creation as a goal we want to advance to or not
S. Tell me the Reshimot, the records, isn't it that pushing us through all of development?
R. The records yes, but how do we realize them? That's the whole matter. You're right. The records awaken in us all the time but are we implementing them correctly? Are we connecting more by the records being revealed? Are we all resembling the Creator more? Are we bestowing more? That's the issue.
S. What does it mean for you to correctly realize the records?
R. Each and every day to check if we are going down or coming closer to bestowing. Are we coming closer to one another or are we moving away because from day to day our ego is growing stronger. We have to have our hand on the pulse
S. What is the attribute of truth?
R. We'll see you soon
12. S. (19:52) Why does he say the attribute of truth is not sufficient to reach the end of correction?
R. To the end of correction we need to use all of these attributes eventually that's before us will talk about it
13. S (20:14) Why is it that the quality of bestowal does not appear as the attribute of control over
everything? Why does it not stem naturally in bestowal?
Because it's against our nature. It can't come to us naturally. Everything that awakens in us is only for self-benefit, that's the general force in the created being. And it can by understanding, wanting, and feeling is a result of the shattering of the vessels before us. That's why we can scrutinize the sparks of bestowal and understand by our development. Throughout the generations of thousands of years, we have no choice. We must go from receiving to bestowing because that is for our benefit, that is really the truth, that it's for our benefit. Then we can decide to do it not in our own vessels of reception. In our vessels of reception we can only feel suffering but if we come close and are included in the vessels of bestowing, we can get those new discernments from them that we still need to ascend to in order to bestow. On such a degree, on such a level that by mutual bestowing we can reach a state that the world will be all good. Otherwise, it's impossible that it will ever be revealed. It will be revealed through horrible suffering, terrible. That's called the path of suffering instead of the path of the Torah, the path of light. That they will bring us to disconnect from the desire to receive. There's no choice either, what Kabbalah recommends we do or great suffering is awaiting. In this generation, the next one, it doesn't matter but such that still we will need to disconnect from in order to receive and go to in order to bestow.
Reader continues “the only difference is in….” (23:13 - 26:08)
14. R. (26:31) I still recommend that you read this together. It's very important for our advancement how we will understand how we go from the path of suffering to the path of the light. Every time we read it, it still works on us even if not in awareness it subconsciously does. Please read this and we will talk about it a lot. Life will show us. We are going to need to talk about it a lot. The world is advancing and the states will force us to incorporate this path of suffering which is opposite of the path of Torah.
Info reports.
15. (27:37) We see that the Baal HaSulam articles are speaking about the highest spiritual degrees o, like in the Shamati articles speaking about human society that it is speaking before us to each and everyone. All these articles are only speaking about one thing, correcting the world good luck to you all. Let’s not forget until tomorrow morning we need to chew them to understand them to advance with them and to accept them. All the best to you.
