Part 2:

Baal HaSulam. The Arvut (Mutual Guarantee). #20

1. R. (00:10) What is he trying to tell us here? He wants to tell us that the act of the Arvut, Mutual Responsibility that we need to develop between us and increase it more and more means not only between us, between those that are already learning the wisdom of Kabbalah those that are already correcting themselves, correcting the world, correcting our small society. Basically we need to because of the obligation to obtain and realize the mutual responsibility. Then we must not only uphold it between us, between those that are directed towards the Creator, those who receive from Him, the power, and a desire to reach the Creator, rather we have to also convey both method and the knowledge that connection is the future of the world. And whether we want to or not, we see how Baal HaSulam troubled himself and talked about it in the Articles of the last generation and in many other places. He was completely drawn to explaining the obligation, the necessity for Mutual Responsibility for the correction of the people and it is necessary in order to correct Adam Ha Rishon because even before he divided into many groups and nations etc. Returning into connecting the vessel of Adam HaRishon can only be through the method of the Mutual Responsibility when all of the world connects, and all the nations will flow unto Him. All this hatred between nations will disappear and especially towards the people of Israel because it carries within it the method of Mutual Responsibility the method of connection. This is why it is hated, and this is the reason for the great hatred towards us. Because we are seemingly carrying within us something important and precious, but we are not dispensing it among everyone the method of connection between us, from between us and to the Creator. Meaning the method of nearing the Creator is basically in us but it is as if we are hiding it from everyone. Precisely by developing the method of connection among everyone, the world can come closer to the Creator and then it will achieve the desired correction. This is what he wants to tell us here, so let’s read.

Item #20 Continued (04:04) “But the end of the correction of the world will only be…”

2. R. (06:59) In other words we have to try to come to such connections between us, such incorporations between us. Between us meaning those who understand that the purpose of creation is to attain the Creator and the connection between us, and to try to come to such a state where we can convey the method of connection also to all the nations, to the whole world, to all the created beings. Then by this we will come to a state where everyone will understand our role and connect to us, connect together with us to attaining the Creator connecting around Him and in this way the world will be corrected.

Item #21 (08:03)

3. S. (11:14) What does it mean that we shift to the side of merit and the whole world is corrected from that?

R. That we want to spread to everyone the knowledge that the world exists in order to achieve connection unity, and then reveal according to this effort to connect among everyone to discover the upper force. Where to the extent we connect above our ego by this we make room for the Creator to be revealed between us. This is the process we have to go through until the Creator can be revealed entirely among all the created beings. The desire does not become refined or disappears. Therefore anyone who lives in his desire is basically connected to all the other desires and we have to discover how connected we are, how we are all in the corrected system, which is called Adam. By this we will discover ourselves as similar to The Creator in mutual bestowal between us and from us mutual bestowal upon the Creator. Basically we do not know who the Creator is, how to relate to Him but as much as we can and as much as to the extent that we connect among us and want to help each other in mutual bestowal and responsibilities, by this we come closer and bestow upon the Creator. We bestow our common force and then the Creator dresses in this common force and becomes revealed in us. This is really the gift that we can give Him to connect above our ego, contrary to our ego. Here our ego becomes help made against him, where, even though it is against the Creator it becomes an assistant, it helps. Because specifically if we can connect above their egos by this we create a place that the Creator can fill.

S. We often say that we unite in the tens and the Creator is revealed in my connection in my relation to the friends, so what does it mean that he will be revealed all over the world? It will be revealed in my relation to the whole world or is it the world should reach correction?

R. Both, there’s a personal correction where you have to discover, to reveal your personal attitude toward the whole world and come to a state where you are, where you love everyone, and there’s a general correction, a general action where everyone, all the parts of the soul of Adam Harrison come to that correction, just as we now spoke about you, and then they connect to the extent that we come closer, that they come closer to each other and then the Creator is revealed in everyone and his fullest power. 

S. I have to work on my love for the world now already or should I wait for the next stage afterwards?

R. We have to work on both, that is why all of our work especially when we are in the time of the last generation as Baal HaSulam explains so we need to also try to reach connection with everyone besides the ten. That it is expressed by us advertising the knowledge of our role, advertising the purpose of man in the world to each and every person, and only in that way we can reach some kind of gradual corrections and prevent all the disaster that are on the way because the plan of correction is to bring us, whether in the good way or through suffering, to such a connection that the force of bestowal and love can appear in us.

4. S. (16:35) There are many more people in the world who that are not engaging in correction, who are more corrupted than those who are engaging in correction, so how we will have more influence on the world, how does it work, meaning how is it not constantly leaning to the side of false, the negative side?

R.  We are not against anyone, we just have to spread the method of correction of the world, as much as it is necessary to the world, and from day to day in the world more forces are revealed, more of the true pictures of how the man and the world need a correction, so this is something that we need to organize and publish and advertise to everyone, and we will see from day to day they have more people come to the closer to the understanding of the necessity of the correction of the world. All we’re doing is the work as the messengers of the Creator.

5. S. (17:55) If I understood the friend correctly he was talking about the scale, he says everyone who adds a sesame seed influences, so he is asking if we put sesame seeds on the good side, let’s call it this, but most of the people who put their sesame seeds on the other side?

R. They’re not putting any sesame. Sesame is called shifting to the good, whoever is on the evil side is still there, that’s why there’s not a race or competition between us and the world, the world just keeps going as it does, we just have to try and bring it to connection with the Upper light. To that extent we can turn the whole world to go towards the good, and the process the world goes through itself gives an understanding to each and every one that there’s no good future for the world, there’s not any method of how to exist, no one understands how to exist, and all these wise guys that jump up and say I know how to manage the world, we see now exactly in our eyes what’s coming out of this. So all in all we just need to spread one thing, the correction of the world is correcting all of the evil inclination that is controlling and partying in the world, and the evil inclination in every man is revealed and in all of us together just to emphasize it more and to bring us to the recognition of evil, that then we understand what we need to correct.

6. S. (19:52) In item twenty-one what does it mean that the high understanding and the quality of the love of others, what is this feeling?

R. Twenty-one? That if the scale of merit…. 

S. Student reads: “And immediately after becomes the high understanding of purity of the quality of the love of others” What does that mean? It’s in the second paragraph that begins with, “Clearly if the side of which is a sublime attainment of the benefit of loving others transcends the filthy side of sin they become qualified with a decision and the agreement,” so he’s asking what does it mean the sublime attainment of the benefit of loving others, what is the sublime attainment?

R. That is the future of the world, those are the qualities of the Creator and by this we can equalize and come close to him and connect to him. We have no other action to come close to the Creator, to resemble him, to connect to the Creator, only through connection between us. We can’t change anything inside us, our will to receive remains just the way it is, alive and existing, what we can do is make a connection between the will to receive in such a way that through this we will increase amplify ourselves times 320, times 620 and become as great as the Creator, that our vessel, our desires will become exactly like Melonchai of the Creator and then we will clothe upon one another.

S. If there’s already such an understanding, so why is it called we will do and we will hear, it’s as if they already heard, so there’s already an understanding before they do?

R. We can’t do it without deeds. If we just do actions of closeness that we don’t want them, that’s exactly the resistance, here is exactly the coarseness of the vessel, that we do deeds of bestowal against our desire and only through that we can draw the light that reforms, there’s no other way to come close to the Creator, only against that desire.

7. S. (23:01) We understand that we need to come closer and connect but in the end we cannot do this on our own, we can only want it? 

R. Correct.

S. In the end it is the decision of the Creator to give us the light to complete the process, so we can understand it and want it  but beyond that  we cannot finish the process, the completion of the process is..

R. What is your question? Of course we can’t do anything, even to want, we don’t want as you say, also that we can’t do.

S. My question is what is our duty in the end only to want and the Creator will complete it?

R. Go through faith above reason that even though I do not want it, even though I don’t want this,  I also have the mind except for feelings and in the mind I can understand that my development has to be in faith above reason, that I go towards the action of bestowal, I’m going to exchange my nature from receiving to bestowal, I want it to change in me, I want the Creator to flip me from inside in such a way like we take clothes and put them outside inside out, I want it to happen even though I do not feel it right now as something good but I can understand in my mind that this is something that I have to have to happen to me. That is why we have feelings and mind; the feeling is our nature and the mind what’s above nature. I can depict such an action to myself that it will invert me and without it happening I will remain within my nature in my will to receive and nothing else will happen.

S. I understand. Thank you very much.

8. S. (25:29) What do we have to dispense that the system comes down, you mentioned the advertising, the purpose of  creation, the method of correction, but we have to offer them also some kind of participation of realization of the purpose of creation No?

R.  We need to spread the message of correction to the whole world, as much as possible, because we are already in the last generation and we need to draw all the people in the world to the correction in some way to some extent, that is how each one each in which everyone can see as much as it’s possible we need to advance to such a form. You see what is happening in the world as much as the world is entering a mutual participation, whether they want it or not, as much as it will be is separation in deterioration until what can we do bring another world war like Baal HaSulam said the third and fourth, so we need to resist that and try and spread to the world the method of correction in order to reach the purpose of correction which is the connection between everyone in a relatively easy and quick way.

9. S. (27:23) What is the sign that the world has already reached the recognition of evil?

R. I do not know how to measure such things. I cannot say that that is it and there is no more and let’s start performing corrections but I’m leaning on what they wrote and what I heard from a Rabash that is why we need to be like their students and try and reach and  the correction of the world as quickly as possible and that depends on the connection between us the correction and the performing the law of Arvut between us and spreading the method of correction in the whole world the purpose of creation and how to reach it, that’s it.

Reading Item 22: (28:39)

10. R. (29:12) Meaning to bestow to the friend and bestow to the Creator it should be exactly the same and if it doesn’t seem the same in importance in intensity and so on it’s still because we don’t reveal the essence of these actions, bestowing to the Creator or bestowing to a friend.

Continues: (29:35) “What is obliged to perform all of the Mitzvot …”

13. R. (29:45) Meaning disconnected from himself to the Creator and to the friend. 

Continues (29:51) “Meaning that no light or hope returns …”

12. R. (30:31) Meaning he reaches a state that to bestow to one or bestow to the whole world or to bestow to the Creator, the bestowal that comes out of him that depends on him but doesn’t come back to him that is the true unconditional bestowal and that’s why he only engages in that.

Continues (30:51) “Since that degree that individual caused by his actions …”

13. R. (31:39) Meaning that we need to try on each and every deed of ours to bring us to a state that we add and add and add the same shifting towards the good in the world, the good force, and by that we’re bringing the world closer to correction.

Continues (31:58) “He sentences himself and the whole world to the … “

14. R. (32:33) Meaning it turns out that as much as we come closer to the end our determinations, our actions will be more essential, have, will reach such states that we will feel as much as there’s a heaviness a responsibility of force in each and every action of connection that we are doing as much as it will become, and in another way it will be dangerous for the world.

Continues (33:09) “It follows that to that extent he increases …”

15. R. (33:40) That is something very severe, that each one of us that does not perform an action of corrections at the time that he could have corrected, it is as if he stops, he is a bit late with his personal correction because he belongs to all the created beings and by that he takes one step back, a very big one, for the whole world. Imagine if you are in, you exist in a big system and it is entirely working together but you are a little screw in there, but every screw is important, and if you do not perform your private personal correction at the right time so the whole system is delayed and late and corrupted and so on. Even us being late in a certain moment in the general system that already appears in a very difficult way, and we see it in our own eyes, we see what is happening in our world, that again we are returning to the same states of wars, of relationships that we already thought that we’ve been through it, enough, did we learn from this or not? We didn’t learn anything? That is what is happening and between us because of the lack of dissemination lack of explanation lack of understanding of the Arvut between us that each one must feel himself as a guarantor to the others and then we all are suffering, and we will suffer more we see as much as the problems in the world are increasing more and more and more and there before us and from afar we already start feeling them. Well we will scrutinize it

16. S. (36:15) As a screw in this system, how do I know what is my current correction so that I do not push the whole world backwards?

R. Be connected to the world as much as possible but first be connected to the friends, from the connection with the friends connect to the whole world through dissemination.

S. This is our general purpose, you also said that each one has his own personal correction.

R. My personal correction to be with my ten and through my ten to be corrected connected to the whole world first of all with Bnei Baruch and then through that to the whole world.

S. By what do I push the world backwards, by what I might push the world backwards?

R. That you are not performing your corrections at the right time.

S. What does it not mean at the right time?

R. At  the right time means to put all your forces to it, no other  answer.

17. S. (40:23) I followed you from two years ago. I’m a young student ,how can I disseminate the love if we didn’t discover it within myself and in my ten, is this a mental action rather than an action of the bestowal?

R. First of all you need to be connected to the people who know how to disseminate, and they have to teach you and use you in order to continue the dissemination, that’s one thing. Second we don’t teach love, we don’t see each other we don’t speak about love because that’s some something very distant from the modern man’s heart ,we just want to explain that by connecting between all humans is something necessary to survive, to keep life on earth, that’s what we’re talking about. The fact that you didn’t study all the writings of Baal HaSulam yet that’s a problem, but if you read, especially the writings of the last generation, they’re also in Italian, so you’ll see that the main thing for us is to explain to the world that if we don’t reach mutual connection, not love, just a mutual connection between us, for now for it’s a mutual understanding we are bringing ourselves to a danger of existence. 

18. S. (42:13) It is written about the Commandments towards the Creator and towards man and the impression from these commandments, what does that mean?

R. That first we need to reach the existence of connection and correction of the relationships between man and a man, that’s called from the created beings we reach the love of the Creator, through that we reach connection and love with the Creator, even though our purpose is in general is that in the connection between us we reach connection of the world but we can’t reach it, we don’t have the vessels, we don’t have the preparations, unless we connect between us and then we understand that from the connection between us how to connect to the Creator. If I just come there with a tendency with the cry to connect so nothing else will come except for a regular religion, as all kinds of people and humanity have in our world, if I want to actually reach connection with the Creator it’s only by connecting with people first, those are the two stages we have to go through. 

19. S. (43:52) How can we reach the feeling of the love between us in order to be in Arvut between us and within the whole world, how can we do that?

R. That’s what Baal HaSulam writes about, that’s what Rabash writes, how can we reach it? By daily actions that we try to determine between us, and we ask, and the main thing is that we pray, we ask of the Creator that by revealing our deficiency to be connected, to be a whole vessel for receiving the bestowal from him we turn to him to organize us in such a way.

S. What is the meaning of love against my desire?

R. The meaning of love is that I want the same thing as a friend does.

20. S. (45:23) Mutual responsibilities is this bestowal, is this the force of bestowal?

R. Arvut is bestowal from one to the other in order to be in such a connection between us that we can turn to the Creator and really in that plea reach him.

S. How can I with my actions bestow upon the world?

R. By turning to the Creator and you as a responsible one asking for the correction of the world.

S. Only by this, I influence only by praying?

R. The main thing is through prayer but first of all a connection between the friends but towards the Creator it’s prayer.

S. We also say that bestowal is infinite so what does it mean to sentence?

R. I don’t know what endless or infinite is, we need to reach a mutual connection between us in order to turn to the Creator, and if we can’t be in the connection so with that turn to the Creator and he’ll help us to be in the connection.

S. What does it mean to sentence the whole world to the side of merit?

R. That I’m taking all the problems of the world as my own and I am responsible for them and I’m turning to the Creator and I’m asking him to correct. I’m responsible, that’s called determines the whole world to the scale of merit I’m saying that I’m in charge of the all these problems because what I see is first of all in my corrupted vessels and what I see in the world it is all my vessel and the vessel is corrupted and I’m asking to correct it, I do not see anything but my own vessel.

S. But to do that I have to be incorporated in the whole world right now I’m incorporating only in the ten?

R. It just seems to you the way, you check how you, if you see the whole world how do you see it? It is all the result of your own vessel.

S. The fact that I see the whole world corrected or corrupted is that the result of the connection in the ten?

R. It is the result of your inner state.

S. Is there a different state that is more real, more inclusive, comprehensive? If for example, I and the friend do not see things the same way does it mean that someone sentences someone to the side of merit and someone to the side of false sin?

R. No, no I see you’re still confused. Let’s wait for tomorrow and tomorrow you can ask again. Everything has to settle down in you first, it’s not your day as we say.

21. S. (48:49) Today with what is happening people see the evil and they want to destroy the evil if we begin to speak on that background about connection we too are seen as bad so.

R. How did they want to get rid of the evil in the world, what, through the war?

S. Yes, to destroy the evil, those who bring evil to the world, to destroy them, that’s how people see things.

R. I do not see it like that. I see that after the evil there are a lot of people are supporting that evil and you have to turn their head and heart around a lot of times, that they will understand that they are in the horrible mistake, and it can’t be to that something bad that comes if there are not people that support it first and then that’s why we need to understand that there’s a problem here, a very big problem, a world problem, that there are many people in the world that are willing to keep the wars going and suppressing one nation by another nation and so on. It doesn’t depend on one person as people want to say it depends on many people that are still not developed to an extent that they can understand that everything can be organized only by the force of connection, only by the force of love and not through hatred or war. You’ll see the world how the whole world is like that that we don’t see as much as we have so many people that support this evil, that we are willing to buy them with money and honor and they’ll support that evil and war in order to gain something from it to themselves. It’s not simple, its long-term work of education and convincing, and people’s development and very great scrutinies still have to take place. It’s not long but it’s big.

S. But if we talk a little more neutrally about connection I think then they think that we’re supporting this evil and then it’s already aimed towards us where we are identifying with the evil?

R. In a more precise way I don’t live among the people you live with, but we have no choice we have to explain to them that the future of the world is connection, maybe it’s not the near future, maybe it’s not the next step, they have to clean the place from the ones who are against connection, but ultimately connection is the solution. When they asked me before the beginning of this war, before this attack, I told everyone I really oppose it,  that’s not the way to correct the world by attacks, and we have to somehow understand it’s not in our power to stop this, but we have to somehow understand that by force you cannot cause correction, no, impossible, and sadly it happened, but I said that to many people who asked me. I was really really against this war. Now there’s nothing to do about it, we have to understand we have to reach some completion here. There’s nothing to do about it, you can’t erase anyone, all you can do is to cause the right kind of connection, and then if we’re thinking about the right kind of connection rather than thinking about war, we’re thinking about completion, wholeness, how good things, and bad things can connect like plus and minus in all the systems of nature. When they’re connected in the right way, in the smart way, between them an additional force can be revealed from these plus and minus together, just like in any engine, in all the instruments we build we use both the plus and the minus, we just have to connect them correctly. What’s the right way to connect them? That between the plus and the minus there is resistance, and there  the resistance is our resistance, of our ego, and then we can come, like that place, like the resistor upon which we can discover every plus and minus in a positive way. That’s what we have to do, this is what will be revealed 620 times more, the force that exists in our spark to begin with. 

22. S. (55:34) Is our goal in dissemination to change, to correct the intentions of humanity?

R. Yes, of course. That’s the only thing we need, we don’t touch the desires only the intentions, only the intentions, for them to be good and then the desire, what’s the desire? The main thing is what is it working for? If it is working for the good, doesn’t matter what desire it is, all the more so if the desire is greater with the right intention and it’s doing good. 

23. S. (56:30) It’s written, and the Lord became God on all the land on that day the Lord will be one and his name one and it’s written on that day and not before that. The question is what does he exactly mean on that day and not before that?

R. When we complete the vessel and all the desires will be aimed in order to bestow from among us to the Creator then in that day the Lord will be indeed one, he’ll be revealed as one, and his name as one.

24. S. (57:12) What does it mean to sentence the world to the scale of merit?

R. This means that all the souls of all the created beings will connect together, and all want to be in order to bestow mutually because by that by that all their forces they bestow to the Creator.

25. S. (57:38) It isn’t enough for us to try only even with our lack of connection, do we need to be corrected first?

R. You should try to be corrected as much as possible meaning connected between us and from our connection to the Creator, from love of others to love of the Creator. That’s how it’s called, that’s what we have to try to do.

26. S. (58:14) You said that we don’t know what the Creator is and how to relate to him so how will we be able to come to a true prayer without the sensation of the Creator? Is our work based only on faith above reason?

R. Our work is based by the Upper force that bestows upon us and giving us an opportunity to be above our egoistic nature, this is called work above reason.

27. S. (58:50) Can you help us sort the correct attitude both internally and in deeds in three circles, the ten, group, world?

R. This is how we need to work, ten, our ten meaning our, the personal group of each and every one, then the general group of ours, the entire Bnei Baruch, and then the world, yes, then the world, this is how we act all over the world. So this is how a person should act, me, the group, the world, maybe after the group, Bnei Baruch as one group and then the world.

28. S. (59:45) Do we need to ask from the Creator for the correction of the world or for the correction of my corrupted vessel that sees everything is corrupted?

R. I should try to see my vessel corrected, whole, and ready for the connection of the world and from that to approach the correction of the world, yes.

29. S. (01:00:16) In what has the correction of the world today changed with all the problems like the viruses and the war?

R.  I don’t think it’s changed, it’s simply the Creator in all kinds of means, he wants to hasten our development. That’s why we are in all kinds of forces that rattle us, and this is how we act.

30. S. (01:01:00) How to intensify the power of our prayer in the ten?

R. Only by a stronger connection between us.

31. S. (01:01:14) Is the strongest personal correction taking place during the morning lesson between us?

R. Yes during the morning lesson the correction is the greatest and it’s too bad if you’re not in it, it’s very important or at least later for a person to hear this whole lesson and to connect not even during when the lesson takes place.

32. S. (01:01:54) When we unite with friends are we uniting only with the points in the heart?

R. We always unite with the points in the heart, we don’t have any way to unite differently.

33. S. (01:02:16) It is written that the light of the Torah builds something new in the heart. What is this new building?

R. R. It’s the soul of Adam HaRishon that we build within the common heart between us, when with all the hearts, with all the desires that yearn for connection we take of them the desires, the parts, the desires that are ready and willing and trying to be connected, from them we make a common heart.

34. S. (01:03:11) We learn love. The question is how to move from self-love to the love of others with your permission?

R. With my permission you can move, I allow you. But how to do it from loving yourself to loving others from loving others to loving a Creator all that it is only by the blessing we get from above. We have to try to invite a special illumination from the Creator called blessing and then you will be blessed, Baruch.

35. S. (01:04:10) Is it enough for most of the world to hear and agree with our educational message where eventually each of us needs to enter into a process that we are leading?

R. This all depends on the original desire that lies within each and every one, he has to fill his spot with the soul of Adam HaRishon and we don’t have any control on that, just to publish, to publicize about the correction, the need for correction, the cause of all the problems and troubles, that’s what we have to try to publish to the whole world and also to publish as much as possible what’s going on today in the world, how much these things are only here to push us, to hasten the correction, connection between us. When we’ll start scrutinizing that together then it will become clear to us where we are.

36. S. (01:05:21) Can we say that the personal correction is through the connection in the ten and general correction is mostly through dissemination?

R. Yes, we can say that, even though it’s not truly cut of these things and those things but mostly this is the way it is.

37. S. (01:05:44) How and in what way is the law of Arvut expressed in the personal correction of a person?

R. The law of the Arvut expressed in the personal correction in the person? He wants to be a guarantor for everyone, he has to say the world was created for me, and to the extent that I correct myself to that extent I want to correct the whole world, there’s nothing that I care for myself personally, only for everyone, that’s the law of our Arvut that everyone, everyone has the same weight.

38. S. (01:06:26)  Is the attainment Arvut between friends a sign that we succeeded in connection or is it being revealed that we’re failing time after time?

R. We’re advancing time after time, everyone together and these things come like waves in all kinds of directions and goes over each and every one to the extent we don’t know who we are and how we’re advancing, towards what we’re advancing, really we don’t, but it’s upon us to simply be dedicated to the force that teaches us, that develops us, that nourishes us. That’s what we have to do. And the more we have our dedicated by this force all of us together towards the Creator this is what helps us advance and we are really advancing, we’re advancing good. We just need to pay more attention to our inner effort, what I want, towards what I want to go, what’s going on with me, what will happen with me? Each and every one should put these questions and into the flow that he has in everyone else, that’s it. 

39. S. (01:08:04) What is the uniqueness of the people of Israel that needs to be starting the correction before everyone?

R. It’s simply a group of people, this is how it was revealed in ancient Babylon, where in them a stronger desire for correction, for understanding the correction and for the Creator were felt, they connected together in Babylon where there was place for the whole of humanity thousands of years ago, that’s how it was, that’s it. However in them there were also no, it was the first time something came down from the heavens, it wasn’t the first, the first one who discovered six thousand years ago was Adam. He discovered that there’s a special force and that he has a special goal. This  force is for people it leads people to their desired correction he discovered these things he established a place for studying and he taught there, that was actually in Svat near Svat, and then it was therefore a certain while and later there was a time of some recess seemingly, and it was revealed again in ancient Babylon by Terach, Abraham. We have all this order the way it was given, handed out, but basically it comes from nature according to the purity of the souls. Some souls are very pure, very light, they can feel the world, the reality, the purpose of creation out of the, we call it the refinement of their soul, they catch it from the air, they feel that’s the way it has to be, some souls are more raw, more thick, that they develop slower.

S. Who is that Israel today? Who has that responsibility for the correction today?

R. Each and every one who feels that he is in the correction, and he feels that it’s upon him to do. It’s not that someone is forcefully given this. Each one to the extent that he feels, he understands that it came to him from above intentionally for him to take part in the correction of the world and to be able to contribute his part, that’s what he has to do. 

S. Why is it so difficult to take on this responsibility? 

R. One takes the environment into consideration, he doesn’t know how and why, because all these things are in the giving not in receiving. Had he made some profit here he would be happy to do it but if this is not respected by people around him and he has to do it inside him and maybe he has to pay with time, with efforts, well of course not everyone is running for that. 

S. On the one hand we hear from the teacher that we’re advancing well on the other hand there’s wars in the world, viruses, what are we neglectful today in the correction, what’s missing?

R. We’re only negligent in one thing, the connection between us that we have to increase, nothing more than that. Out of the connection between us we’ll start understanding all the rest of the things from the inside out.

40. S. (01:12:50) I wanted to ask you, I’m not even talking about the world, we’re sitting here I know that each of us in the ten is trying to go above reason above all the disturbances to connect because we’re talking about coming to the connection between us in the ten, so the question is how can a person go above reason above all the disturbances and really connect with his friends?

R. I should try to connect with my friends, I see that I cannot do that, and I don’t let go of that, I don’t stay calm in having no war and that’s enough when we’re holding each other like you keep them safe distance like between cars, not to come too close, then this way we think as if this is okay, it’s not okay. We have to understand that any opportunity to shorten the distance between us to reach connection and then from the connection to incorporation then to real connection between us, that’s only possible by the force of bestowal and the force of bestowal is the Creator, so this way we need to approach Him, to ask of Him to be incorporated in us, to live in us, to give us inside his feeling, his force of connection. That’s how then we’ll be able to incorporate between us and God forbid if we feel that there is kind of fights, hatred, rejection, that’s the Creator actually showing us where we need to correct ourselves as much as possible to reach at least some un-hatred, that there won’t be hatred between us, no rejection, then bit by bit we will come from a negative connection to a positive one, that’s our work, that’s our work. The main  is not for there not be war, not to be in the dispute, so that no one will want to show the other that he’s right, that’s the main thing, and if we’ll be able to correct the present situation in the world then we’ll be able to correct the world and to cause a substantial proximity between them and the Creator. Otherwise the world will go into hunger and lack of things and it’s a wonder how from all the abundance that there is in this world the moment you cut the connections between the countries you have nothing. Never was there such a thing in the world, today we learn that, and I hope we learn that in an easy way, and it will be enough for us, otherwise if we sever the connection between the countries between the nations we could go to a world famine.

41. R. (01:17:02) I need TES because I hear from all kinds of places that I am neglecting it. No, I am not neglecting it. How can we study TES in a practical way if we are not yet in the force of bestowal? We read there about the restriction, the screen, the reflected light, the direct light, the clothing of lights. We don’t yet have from the connection between us, from the created being, from the ten Sefirot, we don’t have a response towards the Creator that we can learn in the form of Sephirot. Well let’s hope that nonetheless, the study will help us, please.
