Baal HaSulam. Peace in the World (The Weakness of “World Reformers”)

1. Rav’s Introduction: Just because we read only one section in the article Peace in the World, we will repeat it and will continue.

Reading Peace in the World (00:44) “ scrutiny and enquiries concerning matters....”

2. R. (01:10) The most important thing here for us is to scrutinize what causes peace in the world which is so necessary today and each day it is becoming more and more problematic and more and more required.

Reader continues (01:27) “ Mercy and Truth met Justice and peace kissed....”

3. R. (01:13) We read, heard, that at the end of development everyone comes to completion to do good to one another, to the best state of each and everyone so much so that the angel of death is destined to be a Holy Angel; and all the bad will be good. From this we understand that we must not destroy anything in the world but we must only learn in what way we can help all the elements in creation even the most harmful. How can they turn themselves into positive and helpful things for everyone and by this we advance Creation to its final correction; where every single bad becomes only good and beneficial.

4. S. (05:26) I'm not clear on what this action is: That if I see something that is harmful, say like war, like the example you gave to me yesterday that I have to correct it within me, I do not understand it?

R. The wars that we understand and know and feel, that are happening before us are all a result of our desires. It is clear to us that we with our egoistic desires do not want to be connected with each other positively by complementing one another, because in the system of Adam HaRishon, we were actually working in mutual complementarity, to such an extent that we were one man with one heart. But afterwards the Creator added the will to receive into that system of Adam HaRishon, and we now have to come to the system of ‘the last man’.

Because we are absorbing, swallowing this ego that has grown in us. The Creator said “I've created the evil increase inclination, I've created The Torah as spice” meaning the upper light. So you will use the upper light in such a way that it will correct you and will bring you once again, to the system where you are connected as one man with one heart; and this will be the end of Correction. I give you the evil inclination and you hate each other, falling in all kinds of wars and problems among yourselves but you also received from me the spice of the Torah. Meaning you can overcome this evil inclination by checking how bad it is, and turning to me and I, instead of the evil inclination will organize for you the good inclination, and then you will achieve connection between you and the big complete system.

By this you will attain all of reality in a complete and comfortable and good and beautiful way. So, this is the process we need to understand, feel and know. By receiving initially a broken system and ultimately through connections and our demands to the Creator we get the reforming light, the good force which helps us connect, so we have the end of the way an understanding; what was bad in the beginning of creation and what was good at the end of creation, and in between them we can compare the two of them and understand and live in both our minds and hearts in both of these states and by this we attain the Creator and, we come to His level.

This is basically the way and the state that we should come to, and this is why we don't erase anything bad, we do not forget it, but all of these things have to stay within us and we need only to equalize and form between them. So, all bad states are the basis of our work as the coarseness of the degree and all our achievements, when we try to rise above the bad to the good; that will be as the top part of the Partzuf that we are building and in this way we establish our common Partzuf called Neshama, the soul. It’s not like the soul of Adam HaRishon that the Creator created as small, but we now with the power of the ego, we added into that Partzuf, so now in that Partzuf we come to the knowledge and feeling of the Creator himself, all of Him, and this is the reward, this is the payment for all of our work and labor; when we come to a state where the Creator is within us, and we are in complete adhesion with Him. That is it

5. S. (10:44) He writes that everything happens through gradual development and is in gradual development and on the other hand we have to bring every element to its correction. So what is our level of involvement on the human level?

R. We have to manage, to govern the development of men. Meaning that every single thing, everything that the Creator added in every moment, in all kinds of manners between us and in general, we have to be alert to it and every time jump on that evil between us and try to immediately turn it into good, just like predators relating to the revelations of the evil, that it is our food, we need precisely this in order to turn it into good, because you cannot come to the good unless by turning it from bad; we turn the bad and make it good. There is no good initially but only that bad that brings us closer and connected to the Creator. He says, I've created evil inclination so we bring this bad, this evil back to Him and ask: Turn It back to good with our prayers. Because beside prayer there's nothing else for us to do. So, He turns the bad into good and then this action of demanding of Him to turn the bad that He created into good is called “my son's defeated me”.

S. The conscious corrections of men's evil inclination is for every person in our generation right not just for us?

R. Yes, everyone. We are already in the last generation. Anyone who awakens even a little bit, even an interest to see the corrected world, that person is invited into it and besides this we have to circulate this matter so that even those who do not find in them an inclination towards it, so they can find it artificially and learn it: Just like we teach everyone in our generation to read and write and so on, to somewhat be at the ‘human level’.

6. S. (13:46) Why don't we work to accept everything as it is, not just good and bad and try to make it good?

R. Because we cannot jump on everything, so we're still not connected in our work to such an extent; to see the process and the goal together. This is why it happens, whatever is revealed this is what we try to connect.

7. S. (14:24) From what I see, at least what I hear we cannot let go of the feeling that the thought of creation is a system where the goal sanctifies the means. Does that seem right?

R. The goal justifies the means, that is correct. That is because I know that all the means that awaken in me, all the bad inclinations themselves become not means but the goal. By which when I correct them I turn them into gripping points, points of adhesion between us and the Creator. This is why here, the goal and the means, the reason and the result, all eventually connect into one.

S. Since it is clear that the protein body that we live in today is not what achieves the goal. Can we say that the thought of creation doesn't count what happens to this protein body, that it is just a part of the process that is supposed to somehow bring the realization of the thought of creation?

R. Yes of course, our protein body is not rewarded with any corrections or end of corrections or reception of the reward. But it still participates with us and because these desires as they become clarify to us through our physiological body; they nevertheless also belong to the desire to receive so they too have their correction and their reward.

S. So maybe that is why we see that these bodies are destroyed and suffering in all kinds of ways, it is part of the process?

R. It is part of the process, of course, yes, and this is why I gave you examples several times of how much I suffered for example from skin rash and all kinds of things that I went through. Rabash would say, he was right by my bed when I was laying and could not move, he said: It is all for your best, you do not know how much you are gaining from this, meaning the suffering that the people experience physically that too counts as a kind of a correction.

S. How, when you come to this awareness, in what ways do you have to overcome I do not know what to call it, this deep fear that really your body doesn't count and your life does not count?

R. No no no, everything is calculated and there's no such thing that something's not stemming from the system of Adam HaRishon and he does not have a place in the end of creation. You cannot say that these things are not in the calculation, not in the count. But we want to rise to a different calculation, where the human degrees, where our relation to what happens to us, this is what we want to determine our development: I want to be in my changes toward the Creator, in relation of bestowal and to be adhered to Him despite all the disturbances along the way.

R. When a person feels that above my life right now, where do I get the strength to cope with this feeling?

R. From the Creator, through society.

8. S. (18:50) Is it necessary to reach the state of helplessness to ask the Creator to correct the

Bad into good?

R. I'm certain that you can always turn to the Creator on one hand, but on the other hand I have to check myself with what am I turning to the Creator, so that my plea, my turning will do Him will be justified, will be corrected and as real as possible. Then I will not develop some false pleas in me that have no real reason in them. We need to check what we are crying about so this weeping will be as a result of lack of strength to correct ourselves.

9. S. (19:58) You said that instead of crying we should prey on these states I see in the world and in ten or everywhere, how can I really do this attack to hunt these states?

R. Only through the ten. When all of us speak about the bad that is revealed and we have to remove and turn it into good. Because we do not want to waste this bad and to turn it into good and this is why we are all aiming ourselves to it and we are trying to be together. If we pay attention to it just a little bit, from several friends, then it is certain that we will correct it because it already did its duty; this bad connected us, and therefore it is easy for us to correct it and turn it into a good.

S. It’s not clear, what does it mean it becomes good, it changes or i change?

R. if it made us connect then you can see instead of bad, good.

R. So It becomes good because it did its duty but it connects us…?

R. I will not tell you another word, just go back and see what I told you. There's no bad except how we use it, if this bad makes us connect then it's not bad, it is good.

10. S. (21:55) If a person has some bad behavior where he works and he keeps coming back to it and that creates problems, is that also a correction?

R. We need to create around every person such an environment that will promote him, very simple. This is called: working together on the every single problem. There's no personal problem because initially we are a ten, and we need to reach the goal only as a ten. So, there is no ability to escape, to avoid a common solution and this is why we need to speak more about whatever problem we have, and think about them together and remind each other and pray for it. But the most important is to get together, whatever problem we see in the ten, between us or even personally in someone; if we pray together by this we solve the problem. Because to begin with it appeared in order for us to connect among us, around that problem, and turn to the Creator to correct it, this is the whole method. The Creator says “I have created the evil inclination” we have to take all the revelations of the evil inclination and bring those revelations to Him and through Him, through the revealing of the evil inclination we connect around the Creator. This is how it works. So, don’t turn it into all kinds of philosophies and go in all kinds of different directions; but precisely together, around the bad that is revealed we have to connect and turn to the Creator, that is it. That is the whole work.

11. S. (24:36) Following what you just said that we need to govern our development part of it is to be in the ten and we got the friends and here we each time discover how we are truly opposite and keep asking the Creator to connect our connection and we become as one. is that managing our development?

R. “As one man with one heart.”

Reader continues (25:15) “this is the key to understand the…”

12. R. (25:45) Today we want to create this mechanical man or some new biological creature that will have a brain that contains and encompasses the whole world and super powers in its hands etc etc. In other words our problem is that we are not relating to the man that we know, each one and everyone like you like me, we do not relate to ourselves as perfect; we have everything in all of our parts that should operate ideally without any illnesses, diseases or problems, and problems between all the parts which is the reason for all the diseases. There's nothing except one thing: To relate correctly and directly correct the relation to ourselves, and by this we come to be a person that’s 100% healthy, and 100% functioning correctly.

Reader continues (26:55) “ this is the tendency of all world reformers....”

13. R. (27:27) According to their opinion what would be left of men, I do not know? But this is what we need to understand that instead of building all kinds of cyborgs, I do not know what to call those artificial parts, limbs within us. I'm not saying it is not good to begin with, it can complement sick organs that stop functioning in our body. But, basically our goal should be to develop in such a way that we will not awaken such malfunctions in the human body and in every person and in the environment, in human society and the world in general. Because they are all results of our inability to correct our qualities in their place.

14. S. (28:36) This evil that we see in the world belongs to the nature of the Creator or is it a part that He pushed away from himself and we too have to discover it and push it away from ourselves in choosing Him as the only good?

R. The bad that is revealed is revealed on purpose, because according to the plan of creation it has to be revealed in each and everyone and in all of our circles and then in everyone together in general that without the recognition of evil we will not know how we can come to the good; because you cannot reveal the Creator unless you reveal an image or form that is opposite of Him and this is called “I created the evil inclination”. The Creator Himself created something that is opposite from Him and then by these two opposites we scrutinize what is correct and what is incorrect and to what extent. And, in general our perception without having something opposite from the Creator, we also would not attain the Creator, because we the Created beings, can only obtain something from its opposite and therefore this is the way we have to think and be patient; but this is the way of the created beings, this is the only way to discover, to reveal

15. S. (30:27) On the one hand the Kabbalists say that we need to look at what is happening realistically, not to sit on a cloud, if you are sick go to a doctor, if someone comes to kill you, kill him first and here he says not to engage in reforming the world, I see a contradiction.

R. No. Because there it talks about the correction it has before you, and in the degrees of still, vegetative and animate and you have to go into that state and correct it. But on the levels of men, you have to correct those levels by relating to it as a human, meaning we do not erase medicine God forbid as other methods do. No. We are saying that the doctor was given the permission to heal, we need to heal whatever is possible. But in the end the correction is not in this but on the higher levels when our congruence with the Creator is missing.

S. It is like two processes working in parallel, that is what happening here in spiritual correction?

R. They're not parallel, but in places where we do operate in the still vegetative and animate, there we have to correct as we correct in our world we use our intellect, our feelings and do it; this is why we use medicine, science and all those things. But, in degrees where we cannot reach, that pertains to the man's inner world to his soul, there we cannot do anything and this is why we should not interfere in this in a corporal way; but only in the way that the Wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us.

S. What kind of things do you mean?

R. Anything that pertains to the human Spirit; to men's attitude to life, to man’s approach to other people, to creation, philosophy, psychology, all of this does not pertain to us directly because we do not have the powers for it. But, rather we have to get closer to each other as the eisdom of Kabbalah explains and by this correct things.

S. On the other hand, the wisdom of Kabbalah does not give any promises to the person that you learn in spirituality and you will not have any problems in corporeality?

R. One does not belong to the other. In every single thing and every single place you might have problems of this kind and that kind, but all the problems stand for the shattering of the soul with all the other souls, and this is why it is revealed to you according to the degrees. This is why they're great people, kabbalists, that also suffered from various problems.

S. I want to clarify this weakness of the world reformers that he criticizes here, what does he mean?

R. World reforms are those who want to reform the world with their vessels, in the degrees of still, vegetative and animate, in our world where we control, we need to correct these things with what we have in their hands and not relying on the Creator. This is one thing. in the states where we are not present, we have to correct things in a spiritual way. I do not understand these problems. We have four degrees: Still, vegetative, animate and speaking. In the still, vegetative and animate we are in our bodies, in a relationship between us in this world and here we need to organize things with what is given to us, with our hands. But, in things that pertain to a person, to the speaking level, there we can correct ourselves only by taking the advice of Kabbalists and the method of correction, the method of connection and by this we correct the connection between us. You do not have any other cure.

16. S. (36:03) If it is forbidden to delete what is harmful in the world, why did the Creator gave this desire to world reformers, it's not in their desire…?

R. The desires that awaken people all come from the shuttering, from the Creator, from above. However, these are desires that each and every person has to go through, he has to feel them, he has to rise above them, or to carry them out. But this he chooses his attitude to creation, by this he builds himself as a man; he gradually advances towards the Creator.

S. Can it be said that this is the Creator's way to correct the world reformers?

R. The Creator has no way to create the world reformers, the Creator only has advised for how this world reformers can understand in what they can correct themselves and in what they cannot. First of all the world does not need to be corrected, rather the correction of the world is in the correction of men. In the correction of men they can do only that they do not force others, they do not pressure others, they don't bend others, but rather they only try to come closer to everyone and together we find nice relations to reach congruence with the Creator.

17. S. (38:18) If there's something not corrected in a person's desire like, sex, family work. Let's say a person doesn't get these things sufficiently in the work, it doesn’t create a field of work, a field of operation as Kabbalah teaches, it doesn't get solutions to these questions. So what does he engage with in solving these problems if not psychology, because it is something to do with our psyche, with our animate?

R. If a person operates in the group towards coming closer to the friends and together with them to the Creator, this projects over all of his qualities such changes; that he changes. Even though he might say that I disagree that I'm changing, just a little bit, I do not feel that I should not change so slowly towards being a good person and to leave aside my bad qualities.

However one must agree that this is correct, this is how it should be, but the most important thing for us is nevertheless to put the emphasis on everything that we have, in the connection between us in the group. We have many problems in this world, with family with work with all kinds of things, but besides the necessary things we have to do; all the rest should be in the society, in the ten, in the dissemination and if I invest myself in that for certain I will advance correctly, then all the other problems will be corrected by that as well. look at a person who divides his life in such a way; what I owe to work in order to make the money, what I owe to the family in order to support them; and all the rest is my ten, there is no more and this is how I will advance correctly.

S. I still do not understand why we need to do something if I can’t succeed in these things? Because you did not have these problems, you had proper education, you had learning, you had a family, you had kids.

R. You think all of this happened without any problems? Where did you ever see a person who grew up without any problems? This is how you see it on the outside. But I'm telling you that if a person has now entered our system, and he is listening, he should check himself like you. He should check himself, how he arranges himself? How does he divide his life into necessary things? Necessary which is family and work and his health, and the other things which are additional. What does he do with having family and work and health? Where does he invest then? So, he has no more in the way that the Wisdom of Kabbalah explains to us but only in the ten, in his ten and also in the ten which is the entire world Kli and dissemination. Try to establish your life in that way, and you will see that everything will work out; everything will work out.

18. S. (43:05) The Physician was given permission to heal and we the students of Kabbalah, what are given permission from the Creator?

R. The doctor was given permission to heal, that is right. So what is given to the world is that what you are asking? What was given to the world? The world was allowed to reach a state where he asked what he exists for? Or why? So each one can open the method of correction to himself, because this is the remedy for the whole of humanity. Just like the doctor and the remedy towards a person; so is the Wisdom of Kabbalah that explains the connection between us, it is like a remedy for the whole of humanity.

29. S. (44:14) Can you explain, please, what Baal HaSulam’s complaint against the world’s reformers was, I did not get it?

R. That they do not want to hear what the Torah gives us and what it tells us, not to waste forces and correct the world. But rather we need to reach the correction of the world through the upper forces, the forces of nature but not on their own. If we do it on our own we already see how much we corrupt everything.

S. What do we regard as reforming the world?

R. Reforming the world or correcting the world is through the correction of man, that in the end a man will know how he needs to behave in the world; towards his environment, towards the still, vegetative, animate and speaking.

S. For thousands of years humanity was trying to improve its situation, let's say plagues and diseases for example. So they’re trying to find solutions to diseases, so what are we complaining about: We say that we should not deal with it and we need to engage in correction and then these diseases will disappear? I do not understand?

R. It is written that “the doctor was given permission to heal”, meaning we have to think about healing diseases, yes. Because this relates to the human body it pertains to the still vegetative and animate; our bodies in the level of the animate. But, more than that we cannot heal it and we cannot do anything with it, we can only give people that suffer from all kinds of problems; psychosomatic ones, etc, we can give them medications, drugs eventually. So, the Wisdom of Kabbalah says this is okay, this is also okay for the time being because what can you do?

You need to pacify people somehow in whatever way possible, if you do not have a remedy; but that is already pertains to the degree of of Adam, A man, that is suffering so then you have to find another remedy for that, and that's remedy is not on the degree of man, it is not biological or physiological form, it is not the problem of some lack of balance in them or something that you can actually identify. That is not the root cause, you're taking care of the symptoms but not the root cause. So, what we need to do is to reach the root cause of all the human problems, then you reach the state of the principle; the center of nature which is the evil inclination. And if you take care of that, then we take all the consequences from it. Our egoistic desires are the cause of all the problems and all the diseases that we have.

S. Can we say that all the matters of the still, vegetative and animate, we need to continue to turn to them as we turn to them, and the human things like feelings, joy, those need to be treated on the human level? Can we say it like that?

R. Yes, eventually yes. And whatever we do is we just repress them out of lack of choice. Out of lack of choice.

20. S. (48:30) Should I somehow hide my problems like health problems, corporal problems from my friends or do they need to know about these problems? How should I use it for the purpose of connection?

R. This is something that you already need to determine between you in the group, in each and every group, it could be according to the decision of the group in general and that too can be change, it was this way and now it needs to be that way, usually we pretty much know in the groups what is happening with each and every friend and it is good that we know about it because we we can help each and every one as much as possible.

21. S. (49:26) Concerning the world reformers, can it be said that world reformers are those that I want to erase the ego and the purpose of creation is not to erase but rise above the ego?

R. You cannot divide it in such a way, no it's not only that.

22. S. (49:47) You gave the example of Rabash telling you that you were gaining by suffering from skin rash that you were gaining. Why is it gaining, what do you gain by that?

R. Because a person begins from that to discover from their how weak he is and he cannot do anything with himself and this subjugates him and then he lowers his head against whatever is happening to him and this helps him to truly be with somewhat greater subjugation opposite the Upper force

23. S. (50:42) On one hand we condemn world reformers, on the other hand I hear that it is important to use natural resources in a balanced which is what understand world reformers are suggesting so can it be said that their actions are okay but their intentions and that it’s not the main thing it doesn’t bring correction to this we need to relate in a different way?

R. I do not even get into judging someone else, I do not get into it because they have from today till tomorrow everyday they have new twists and you stories and I'm not going to give them my approval this way or that way. We simply need to relate to the world as the Wisdom of Kabbalah says and so to each and everything if we want to know it we need to check what is it they say and what is it the Wisdom of Kabbalah says and it is not like in general, it is not simple, but it is best if we do not relate to all of these things but rather we correct ourselves and come closer to the end of corrections, that’s it, that is for sure.

24. S. (52:06) Maybe again let's take a person who has problems on every level sickness, with his necessities, in his personal relationships, on one hand he needs to solve those problems without the Creator, without the connection, without anything, with the same means that are are at his disposal according to the principle that the doctor was given permission to heal and likewise on every level. One on the other hand we say that everything depends on the connection so how does a person decide what of the problems surrounding him will be solved through this, his participation without any other systems like the Creator by his own strength and what is solved by the connection?

R. As much as he can correct the things that fall on him through the group, that for certain will be a more general and proper correction. Within this correction he also has to use all the individual specific corrections with medicine and everything, but in general the corrections that he tries to carry out is in his connection with the group, this is the inclusive general correction that for sure provides a good general illumination over his life. I am happy that you are asking but I have nothing more to answer about this. We need to take care of this and that. We will go through all of the states now more and out of that we will study life there's none as experienced as the wise as the experienced ones.

S. I will ask a different question. We started studying this article and we see that according to the questions that we have many confusions, what is correction, at what level is it done, is it something internal external in the ten, and it becomes unclear. We do not have the quality of bestowal and out of the will to receive we’re trying to understand what Baal HaSulam writes but I think this is why we are being confused, so maybe we are reading this article prematurely and we need to go through some corrections first, or maybe this confusion is good?

R. This is precisely how we advance correctly that we become confused that we do not know, we do not even know how to approach and digest this thing but this is how we reach a deeper understanding of what we have before us and how to use it, you are right.

25. S. (55:35) Can there be such a thing that the Creator shows me only what I correct and not beyond?

R. Of course, of course, all the rest of the reality, all the rest of the world we do not see it, we only see what is before us a little bit in whatever we need to do to take another small step forward and that is it.

S. We sometimes hear that you can ask for everything from the Creator, every tiny detail like a stubborn kid in a toy shop now you said that we have to turn to him and we checked and we saw that you couldn’t correct it by yourself, so how do we do this check and what is the difference between turning to him from beginning by default or checking first?

R. I cannot really give you some correct direction here.This is correct and that is correct. You need to try it on your own and along with this you also need to realize that each and everything you have to do it through the Creator, and you need to discover where you are and where he is, and how much you doing it together, and it all depends on the problem that you have before you, but if in each and every place you feel that you need to be partner with him that is the right approach, and more than than that I cannot in general say.

S. According, as we observe our work exactly the states come, at one time I feel like a baby who can ask for anything and another states it feels like I didn't work, I didn't scrutinize, with what am I going to turn to him now, are these normal states?

R. Everything that we go through it’s all normal, will learn from these things. If you do not ask and if you will not follow any you will not be disappointed how could it be that you will have the right appeal to the Creator? Eventually we all perform actions and advance from state-to-state in each and every moment in order to reach a true need for the Creator so that we will have the correct vessel with coarseness with it’s intensity with the approach and the yearning in order to connect with him because otherwise we are lost. So this is what we are advancing to and along with the way we built all kinds of small subsystems that eventually bring us to a state either we have eternal complete contact or I'm better off dead.

26. S. (59:17) What do you do when there's a situation when a person cannot overcome his ego?

R. I cannot hear what you're saying, where is your microphone? We can hear you but not clearly.

S. What do you do when you come to a state when you understand that your ego will not let you, will not allow you, you know what you need to do, you understand what you need to do but you can't, I would call it it's like the tying of Isaac, he cannot do it?

R. It's excellent, that's excellent, because now you realize that only the Creator can help you, that is all.

S. But you're broken, you really can't function.

R. Being broken because you're thinking that you're attaining, that you're doing, but if you attain that you very much want to but you cannot this is a good kind of shattering then you come to the Creator just like a little child comes crying to the father or mother that they will help him that he can't do it so he cries and he comes and this is how we need to do the same thing. Understand?

S. I hope so.

S. But lately I've come to a situation where I do it, I cry physically that I can't, but it's not happening the Creator isn't answering so what do you do?

R. Cry, I'm not making fun of it, cry, look at children they cry until they get it.

S. But something should, there is …

R. There is nothing else beside that, just cry, that's it.

27. S. (01:01:54) Tell me when I see the friends that they’re suffering or people are suffering and I help as much as I can of course but there are limitations and they’re suffering and I sympathize and I suffer with them, and it says if I accuse and I blame the Creator, how do you justify the Creator in this when you see friends suffering?

R. You should try to justify yourself because they are suffering because you're not praying for them. Do you understand that? So what do you mean it's the Creator, it's not the Creator’s fault. The Creator is the source of all the good for everyone however you are not helping to bring out of there from the Creator to bring light that will shine to those people that you were looking at and they're suffering, so you are at fault in that you did not pray to the Creator and you're not helping to extract from the Creator the light the abundance the good, health, food, everything you're not doing it. What do you have out of looking at it and it pains you?

You need to realize where you are and what is your role in that. Bit by bit we will understand this picture of how much we are responsible and we are at fault with the whole of reality, with everyone, and we're doing the exact opposite thing of what we need to do. We say that now they'll be a shortage of crops of wheat ofr millions of people in the world all we have to do is to pray even with these things within reality, we don't really have to do them so much, just to prayer, and suddenly you will see that everything is filled and everything calms down and there's no hunger and everyone is healthy and it all depends on only the Upper light that you, that you are not letting it show up in the whole of reality. So not only you but also others and other people.

S. I feel the suffering, I'm trying to assist where it is possible, I pray but still I see that the suffering continues as if I'm too late in this correction. How can I assist to make it happen? How do I help in this situation?

R. You need to pray that all of that trouble will pass away from the world, that is the prayer, that’s one for humanity and the other prayer is that you will connect with your whole ten in such a way that you will be able to be a conduit of the abundance from the Creator to the whole of humanity to all of the souls, that is all.

28. S. (01:06:03) Concerning the prayer, what's the difference between crying or weeping and praying or pleading or sighing, there's so many ways to express it, what are the differences between them?

R. The most important is the scrutiny in the emotion, not in the crying itself that you cry with tears, even though and not too there are many things in the Zohar there's a lot written about it, but the thing is and the emotion, how much do I scrutinize my emotions that they all become a prayer the deficiency for raising MAN to the Creator and they invite they draw from him MUD over all human beings, over the whole of humanity.

S. But we understand that the most important thing as Rabash says is that you can't by deficiency in the forms, that's the deficiency, what is the complete deficiency, what is the complete prayer, what should we give of ourselves so that the prayer will truly be expressing the real deficiency?

R. To think about it, only to think ,a deficiency in the prayer grows through the thought that you connect to it.

29. S. (01:07:49) It's a very grave responsibility that I cannot really contain toward all of humanity in the transition of the light to humanity. We have this crazy responsibility on us, what do you do with it, it's blocking me?

R. You have to take yourself by the hands and see how you can be that pipeline so that through you as well the Upper light of the Creator will pass through the whole of humanity. Either you engage in dissemination or in other things, what are you doing for the sake of the revelation of the Creator to the created beings? Think about it

S. But the realization that depends only on me, is this correct?

R. It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, you can have 1000 questions here. Just think about how you can bring humanity closer to the Creator.

30. S. (01:09:09) Is it correct to say that world reformers is the inclination to correct a person without the Wisdom of Kabbalah or is it broader than that?

R. The inclination to reform, to correct the world, consists in each and every one of the human beings everybody wants to correct the world, everybody thinks that they can be the managers of this correction, but the most important is for us to realize that the one who reforms the world is the Creator, and it happens only according to our requests, and if our requests are arranged in the right way with the right power then it happens. The Creator himself is not going towards correction but rather to the opposite he raises our sensitivity to the corruptions until we realize that we have no choice and we have to correct it.

31. S. (01:10:33) Can you please help me scrutinize, clarify even more what Baal HaSulam meant when he said that the Creator did not complete creation when it created it?

R. The Creator did not complete creation in that he did not bring creation to the end of correction but rather he made all of the preparations so that his created beings will try, that there will be room for them to try to make an effort, and in the connection between them to reach the end of correction. Therefore the entire correction is in love your friend as yourself in connection among all created beings because they are actually broken and they cannot think. Understand anything that is correct because they are actually pieces of this great one brain, and that is the problem, and they have to understand that first of all they have to connect and as much as they connect in that common mind that will already be a corrected mind, they will be able to understand more correctly the plan of creation, the of purpose of creation, and they themselves will come closer to it. This is what we have but the most important is that we have to understand that we are managed by the Creator and even what we're saying right now that too is managed by the Creator, this is his will that we will scrutinize these things and advance.

32. S. (01:12:26) Our repetitive actions in our lives is this regarded as correction?

R. The repetitive actions?

S. Repetitive.

R. Of course, there’s no such thing as they repeat for no reason, we simply don't understand what's happening in them but the conditions always change.

33. S. (01:12:49) Psychology, does it belong to the speaking or the animate?

R. To the animatet.

34. S. (01:13:03) Is it possible that a person who comes to the group as a result of a strong negative experience in his past cannot go through a correction in the ten and should turn to a psychotherapist, where is this line?

R. What does it have to do with a doctor or psychiatrist? If a person, that a person cannot go through correction in the group, he has to work on it. This is already the a very last station for the correction of the soul and then together with the group he has to advance. Now it could be that he feels himself that he's not capable of advancing with them, it's possible that another ten is more suitable for him, however the ten should also realize that if it throws the person away from it it’s a great transgression because by that it is actually distancing from its correction and what will happen next? Because there is something and its opposite here. We'll talk more about it it's not for now.

35. S. (01:14:46) The friends say that if everything is clarified with the prayer and the Creator corrects the world like I heard you saying so we're not even allowed to be the world reformers and we're kind of a priest or a monk so why even engage in dissemination?

R. We have to do everything in order to bring the broken parts to the Creator and the Creator will correct, ask him to correct I come to like a child to his father telling him something's broken and he fixes it.

S. The let's be world reformers will try to reform we won't succeed and then…not that I myself correct it, you're not listening. I come, I try to do, I don’t succeed, and I come to him and I say correct it for me.

R. Okay. But if you will be wise then you will hear that from the get-go you cannot correct anything so it's not worth to try even, but you are actually breaking it more so bring it to the father to fix it.

S. Okay. So what am I bringing before I try to break it even more?

R. That you cannot connect with others, there is your shattering.

36. S. (01:16:28) Sorry if I'm a little deviating from the topic. We need to go to the middle line and need to relate to the bad like in an extreme way like good and evil are the two poles the extremes with that I have to go in the middle between them?

R. I don't want to go into philosophy, do what we talked about, that's it. Don't be a wise guy, you will discover something that goes against the purpose of creation, pray to the Creator to correct, be in a constant prayer.

Continues reading: (01:17:26) “But because the Creator meticulously watches over all…”

Continues reading: (01:19:15) “Rewarded I Will Hasten It…”

37. R. (01:23:43) Meaning anyhow we come to a good and to the final correction, we just have a few roads to that place either a good one or a bad one or as he explains later the middle path between the good and the bad that we're trying, we can, we can't every time we turn to the Creator to organize our advancement.

38. S. (01:22:21) When the Creator cares for all of the problems and leads no one to harm, how to explain all the wars in the world itself?

R. It's because we don't engage in what's going on in the world correctly and the bad forces are greater than the good ones and this leads to disputes between us, it leads to the egoistic desire of people that rises above everything makes these disputes between us, that's the whole thing, that we don't cause a balance between the good and bad forces and even the good forces, to use the bad forces, it all depends on us. We are the ones who decide which side rules, either here or there, we're in the middle between these two scales, of the balance of these two scales, to the good or to the bad side, everything depends on us.

39. S. (01:12:41) So what's the matter of in haste, is it possible fast?

R. A path of I will hasten it is when we always try to connect because that's the final form, when we're all connected as one man and one heart, love thy friend as thyself, everyone is friends right and everyone understands we are in Arvut, mutual guarantee. We have to feel as if we're on the boat in the sea and if we manage ourselves to reach such a state of adhesion, a final state, a secure state, by that we advance to our correction in a short or a sure way, and every time we hold onto the Creator that will help us with every address both to understand the state and to realize its correction, that's it.

There's nothing much to be confused about here, to just see each and every state how much it works for the connection between us, how much it obliges us to put pressure on ourselves to be connected, to pray to the Creator, to demand of him and with such pressures we arrive as fast as possible to the correction. Correction is when connect to one system that we don't yet feel that exists at all, when we feel we belong to this one system, this one network called at Adam, and in this network we will feel more and more parts that are connecting and the tighter they are to each other by that we will feel the Creator filling the network, that's it. We will hear the voice of the Lord that's how it's called and we'll discover him as our general image of ours because this is considered we make him, we will start feeling him the still, vegetative, animate, and speaking in all our senses, in our five senses will start feeling him because he fills us.

40. S. (01:26:38) What does it mean a long or short path relative to what is it measured, because in our perception there is only one option in any given moment?

R. Of course we can't skip degrees and corrections, however we can do them quickly and as we go through them quickly we change our feeling. The less I stay in each and every state the faster the better I feel the states I go through because each and every state is egoistic and then more I connect it to the goal the end of this degree and the next degree and the end of that degree and the next degree, that's how I feel my things in a more positive way, my states as better.

S. Towards the Creator if we can say it that way all our steps are known in advance, the number of steps on the quantity are all in his thought to begin with right, and good and bad changes according to our perception only?

R. That's true, correct, nothing changes besides the way we go through the degrees. You can be sure we're going to go through all the degrees either by blows from the back or by what pulls us the light of the Creator forward, that's the difference, and also the difference in time and suffering as we suffer in each and every to degree, not wanting to depart from it or not wanting to be drawn to the next degree, but ultimately ye,s that's how it, that's how you walk.

41. S. (01:28:57) What is a good sign that we corrected something from the cause, from its root?

R. The good stays in us we stand on it and instead of that we receive the next degree the corrupt degree. It's corrupt. Let's say I got to to degree number 30 so the next degree I get is minus 31 meaning it's corrupt right, in order to continue the correction, that's why there's a verse if you're bigger than your friend that reached a correction you get a bigger inclination, that's how you rise in the degrees.

42. S. (01:29:49) If we need, do we need constant connection or is it enough if there's states of connection here and there in order to perform correction?

R. We're trying to have a constant connection in the ten with all the friends in the ten as tight as possible.

43. S. (01:20:24) In shifting the equilibrium between good and bad, do we do that on the individual level, on the ten level, on the Bnei Baruch level, how do we do that and how can we ultimately shift the equilibrium so that we shift the evil inclination and the good inclination, how do we do that?

R. The main thing is to always hold onto the Creator, to aim every state to the Creator.

44. S. (01:31:25) Mercy and Truth and they kissed, why did Baal HaSulam use these lines at the beginning of the article? What's the meaning that he wants to give to us?

R. We'll finish the article, maybe then we'll understand.

45. S. (01:31:46) They don't need to erase anything that means that we need to be world reformers no?

R. No, we have to reach a solution that will incorporate all the problems in between and combine them correctly.

46. S. (01:32:08) How can we assure that we're keeping our path away from the world reformers?

R. We have to be together and this together will guarantee that the Creator is with us and he will pass us from one state to another correctly.

47. S. (01:32:33) How do we keep ourselves from being world reformers in our work in the ten?

R. When we think about the correction between us rather than the external world and what's going on there. The world is also what seems to us inside according to our qualities, as we change our qualities that's how we advance.

48. S. (01:33:01) The root of all the problems is separation. Do people who suffer the least in this world is because they're more connected?

R. No, that depends on the root of the soul, the destiny of each and every one, we can't make these calculations.

49. S. (01:33:30) I have problems that are destroying my life in corporeality, like being addicted to food and to work in the ten and dissemination, I have no control about that, it also damages the path. What to do?

R. I recommend for you to study more to invest in the study before you go to food, you have to learn something for 15 minutes of our lessons, only then go and eat if you want to eat it all.

50. S. (01:34:11) Eventually the greatest pain is that it doesn't really hurt me, the pain of the others, is it normal to ask from the Creator for it to hurt me so that my prayer to him will be whole?

R. We're not asking for pain, we’re asking for love.

51. S. (01:34:36) I live only for the goal and the ten, all my friends of Bnei Baruch, for dissemination and lessons. What else do I need to do?

R. Live only for that, that's all correct.

52. S. (01:34:55) We learn that only spiritual states are depicted in the Torah and nothing is written about the materialistic world, not once I hear from the friends, one who rises to kill you kill them first. Does this not point to a spiritual way, about the need to stop the evil inclination that kills Kedusha? When can you know if it's talking about spiritual or something we should also use in corporeality?

R. We need to do everything out of the advancement towards love, towards connection, let's make ourselves inclined to connection and out of that it will become clear to us what to do in corporeality.

53. S. (01:35:46) What's happening now in the war in Ukraine is this speaking about the correction of a certain nation or are we talking about the correction of the system?

R. It's about the correction of all the souls in the world, we're all connected to that. It's a very crucial thing that we go through these wars between Russia and Ukraine and by that many things are being scrutinized that for years, for hundreds of years have been waiting for that. It will become clearer to us more what the character of the Russians the Ukraine is, and the nature and the ego and the relationship between them and everyone and the whole world in general, all of humanity how much it's immersed in the ego and how much it needs a general big correction, by that not everyone is concerned about their own correction and that these places like Russia the Ukraine there was the root of this collision That's where it happened but basically the whole world is this way.
