Reading Excerpt 22 (00:27) “Our planet is rich enough to provide for all of us…”

1. R. (01:47) It is interesting what he says that competition, the relation, and the relative measurement between people will not disappear and will not be gone from humanity, and we will be able to use these forces of competition, envy, lust, and honor. You will be able to use them even in the future. It is not that we will become castrated and not be able to use all these forces, no, the ego will work but it will work in a way that I am not oppressing others bringing others down and elevating myself but rather through my ego I will elevate everyone, and this is how we will advance. It is a small change, and this is what we have to do. We, today, receive satisfaction in feeling ourselves as better than others to some extent or at least in something, right? That is, the person can restrict himself even to a small point, but this is what I have, and others don't have it and in that he is satisfied. So Baal HaSulam says that this point will not go away. We can take pride, each one in his uniqueness but on the condition that in that we give to others, we supply to others and then the uniqueness of each and every one in each way that one is special because he is a special, unique soul from the system of Adam HaRishon from the general system and there's no one else that can replace him in it and therefore we have to understand that each one has a place here if it is in order to bestow if it is in order to receive then he just wants to destroy everyone.

2. S. (04:28) There's this thing about being in constant gratitude to the Creator for the friends, the Rav, the sources. Why do I have such joy? There is this constant feeling of joy here.

R. It is truly a great gift which we do not deserve, and we need to try to respond to it correctly. It is like with a child who is given and given and given up to the age of twenty and maybe even to 30 or 40 but there comes a time when we no longer support him, and he has to stand up on his own and to try on his own to keep himself and sustain himself. Even though we feel the love of the Creator towards us without any limit we nevertheless should also prepare ourselves where we will respond to Him correctly.

Excerpt 23 (05:51) “It is important to make such a correction…”

3. R. (07:24) This appears to us as very much unrealistic. That today, of course, to start keeping such things in public, in a great audience, it is impossible but pay attention if you look at what does a person receive in return for when he wants to share with everyone? He receives the upper world, he receives the upper fulfillment because he feels himself on the level of the Creator because he's with Him in equivalence of form and therefore the reward is much greater than what he receives for all of his actions, his difficult actions in this world in order to succeed more than others.

Excerpt 24 (08:36) “Clearly, the model, each will receive according to his needs…”

4. R. (09:37) This actually is what we need to see if our life it will continue the way it is now that we are reaching the quality of Sodom in practice and we can see it how these things are already coming and each time we are trying to put some limitation on it, some boundaries but it doesn't work, actually it is the opposite. We agree with it, that each one will truly do whatever he feels like doing.

5. S. (10:20) How do we depict in the right way this action of bestowal that is directed to the Creator and to humanity which is entirely dependent on egoistic actions?

R. This is through dissemination. We should nevertheless try to connect to it, and this works reciprocally. On our side we disseminate the solution even though the solution does not seem to them as realistic, on the other side, as we also see these from Baal HaSulam, we see that there is no other solution, truly there is no other solution and then it turns out that our whole life depends on how much we will agree to be in connection which is equal for each and every one. People will decide about that. If we will want that or we will agree with it on different levels and somehow agree with these solutions then accordingly we will be able to become incorporated together to a certain measure just like in Adam HaRishon like the system of Adam HaRishon. 

6. S. (12:12) When we say to a person, that it will be worthwhile for him to bestow because the fulfillment he will get will be even greater, a lot greater than any he gets in this world then the person will already be in connection if he feels that he is getting fulfillment from the Creator? 

R. But he receives fulfillment from the Creator in order to bestow to others so that each one is an element in a system of Adam HaRishon, he exists only in order to receive from everyone and pass on to everyone and in that he is in the quality of Bina, bestowing in order to bestow and when he receives in order to pass it onto others he should also absorb from everyone the will to receive, a great will to receive so he receives from everyone a great will to receive and then the upper light that he can receive inside of his will to receive, he aims it to bestow to everyone. Meaning each and every one of us becomes like the Creator towards others. This is what is called return oh, Israel to the Lord your God because in this way each one attains the degree of the Creator, and this is actually the reason for the shattering of the vessel of Adam HaRishon so everyone can reach the degree of the Creator. Not just to be some small element receiving from everyone and giving to everyone, receiving and giving, receiving and giving, no. In that he feels himself that he is providing to everyone, and this is what elevates him to the degree of the Creator.

S. So this needs to be the goal of the individual and the future society?

R. Yes, yes.

S. Meaning everyone will want to go through corrections?

R. I don't know, we will reach that, and we will see.

S. I’m asking because now when we disseminate in what depth should we? When you depict to a person this picture of the future it feels like everything is closed, not where to go to and to develop and he went through all sorts of revolutions and checked everything that he could and nature just closes in but if we tell him that what there needs to be is a corrected person and that's what we are going towards, this is the image that we need to depict for him that we need all of these things in order to reach that state.

R. We can explain it to him but in a different way, more general. That certainly we have to keep Torah and Mitzvot, we have to keep the law bestowal, love your friend as yourself. This is the great rule in the Torah and the commandments are the action of corrections between us that we have to be in love your friend as yourself, all in all it is the sum total of all of the Mitzvot, that as much as you do for others by that you connect with them and fulfill them. 

S. But there are only a few people that want to hear this, the rest reject it completely.

R. Yes I agree with you but again you are not taking into account a simple issue that above us there's someone who determines, and He will continue to determine things for us. That we are a little small will to receive and we will be able to fold and take upon ourselves the entire Kingdom of Heaven, we will be willing because we will have no choice.

7. S. (16:48) This concept that each one, according to his needs and works according to his ability, they try to realize this in the USSR and today we see that China is continuing this but nonetheless why are communists blamed so much if they tried to implement this principle?

R. I see that you are very confused, and I have nothing to do with you, to argue with you or explain to you, not in Russia or in China and not in any other place did they actually realize these beautiful sentences.
