Part 2:

Baal HaSulam. Peace in the World (Hopes for Peace)

1. R. (00:15) Yes, as part of our study you are in the academy of Kabbalah and you need to go through all the sources of the wisdom of Kabbalah, which is especially the writings of Baal HaSulam and Rabash. There are other writings that we are discussing here and there. So let’s continue with the article “Peace in the World.”

Reading (00:43) “Hopes for Peace..”

2. R. (01:22) Well we also can see these today, how many people in the world you see that jump and say, I got it, I know I understand, I can tell you how to achieve peace in the world. Everything will be better for everyone, and justice for everyone, and so on. We also see that every day, and also we see that every day that we are just deteriorating. Please.

Reader Continues (01:54) “Hopes for Peace…”

3. R. (02:36) This is all built by forces. We see parties, different parties, and powers, one goes against this party and that party, countries against each other and is not based on justice. According to justice you have some true correct basis, then you can have the whole world in front of you, but if you explain mature basis is truth, that is has support from nature, that it’s the only true form, then it doesn’t matter how many are in front of you or behind you whatever, it doesn’t matter. What matters is clarifying truth, and for us in our world, instead of truth comes power and all kinds of nepotism and other things that have no connection to the truth. Therefore nothing holds for more than some period of time where it can keep pressure and obligate, and that’s where it all ends.

Reading Continued (03:53) “Hopes for Peace…”

4. R. (04:51) Right like he says that they are silent.

Reading Continued (04:59)

5. R. (05:16) Yes we are today facing very tough times, tough days for all of humanity, of hunger and austerity, and lack of supplies for our life, and we don’t know what to do, we are very weak opposite to that state that the society we build with our ego as brought itself to, yes.

Reading Continued (05:47)

6. S. (08:32) We see that every time people come, political parties, and tell you a story, but people still believe them, and they get disappointed, why is it like this? Why don’t they learn a lesson?

R. How will they learn, from where? If you don’t give them the true source that they can be based on and then measure all the other things they approached, then how will they learn? From what they learned in school?

S. But if something happens once and again and again and again and they get disappointed again, so,…

R. It doesn’t matter. Man does not learn from what happened, he thinks this new thing is better, more pleasant, stronger, more powerful, and so on, so there is no choice. Life goes on.

7. S. (09:40)  What Baal HaSulam explains here about all these forms and terms, that it comes, its branches that come from spiritual roots?

R.  This is what is accepted in society. These definitions are human definitions.

8. S. (10:12) Do the constructors have any ability to cover the weakness of the truth, let’s say they had that opportunity?

R. No one has any ability, but it appears this way or that way. It is like what mine is mine and what’s yours is yours, as if we can determine that in our life, of course we can’t. Also what is mine is yours and what’s yours is mine we cannot determine that either. We have a problem here with the revelation of the Creator to the created beings who will put everything in order and organizes correctly, and that is possible only if we connect to attend and demand the Creator to build between us the right relationship, the right society, from the individual tens to the very general, common ten of all of humanity.

9. S. (11:27) So actually he’s saying that seeking the truth and the destruction is the same as seeking mercy and the building, so he’s taking everybody out of the equation, not these and not those?

R. Correct.

S. So who is he aiming for?

R. And you expected that there is one side that is correct and ready for correction?

S. No but naturally you think…

R. Nothing, not these or those can reach the correction of the world.

S. People that want to give good to the world, they don’t reach anything?

R. Ah, good to the world, everyone wants to do that.

S. So what is good and what is not good, he says not these are not those?

R. Right.

S. So what is he aiming us towards?

R. He’s aiming us towards, to see that  inside humanity you have no method that can bring people closer to a good, correct life.

S. So only the wisdom of Kabbalah actually?

R. Yes, the ten, the ten.

S. That’s the work of annulment?

R. Right.

10. S. (12:56) What is the root, that there is always a part that is more in control. That is in the top, the head of society?

R. Why is it like that? So that we can clarify these things. Just like you have in a circus, you know how they play with different balls and other things, so the Creators is juggling between us like that so we can weigh this against that, and so on, and by this we can clarify that nothing is actually worth it, and we can clarify nothing without adhesion with Him, we can go through all of these states.

S. It seems like there’s no development, it’s always the same.

R. No. Still, there is none as wise as they experienced, and we are going through these states, and we see more and more, from our experience, we see that we are incapable of doing anything, but this is already a result of the  scrutiny.

S. Will it keep being like this also, or will it balance in some way?

R. No, no, it’s not going to continue this way, soon we will cause the appearance of the upper light that will organize the right connection between us.

12. S. (14:38) When we read this article by Baal HaSulam it’s as if it was written about me. Especially if I’m in a conflict with someone so I recognize these qualities in me. How to work with this article correctly, also internally, also outside of me?

R. To explain is permitted, the question is how well you can explain so they can understand it. Explaining this is also difficult. What do you want to explain? That there is no one in humanity, no person or political party or social structure, doesn’t matter what, that has any truth to it? That can lead us to a better form of life? So better to keep your mouth shut. But rather when we build our ten correctly, our general global ten, that will be an attraction force to the whole of humanity that will be so great that everyone will just flock to. As it says that they shall all stream, to all the nations shall stream to Him. Yes, that all nations will then flock to connect to us.

13. S. (16:13) A technical question, is it possible to say that in this article Baal HaSulam basically explains the four phases of direct light in a human civil language?

R. You can even though we’re going to start getting confused if you try to connect them, but in general, yes. Everything comes from the four phases.

14. S. (16:45) Thank you for the opportunity to ask the question. There is political science where they work according to clear templates, and besides wars and egoistic relationships there’s nothing there, but in sociology that appeared from let’s say a hundred, a hundred fifty years ago, like Marx was researching and so on, so Baal HaSulam ideas are these upper sociology of how to build relationship in the society. How could it not become like a source for a lot of people? Why do scientists follow other sources is not him?

R. Because it’s not the truth. It’s a lie. All these sociology and psychology, anything you want, it is all the imagination of a man that’s thinks he understands something about the laws of the nature the nature’s forces, there’s no way to criticize it, even scientifically let’s say like physics or chemistry, like science, all those methods about building humanity, and how humanity exists and works, we have no proof for it, we have no, no foundations for it, nothing. Where do you take it from? You see Marx, as if everything is so, thought with the right mindset supposedly, he is not a psychologist, he works in economy, he was speaking about the will to receive that works between people and how you can organize, let’s say its relationships, you can say calculations, it’s more economics, the calculations between people in an incorrect way, not through justice, but it’s right according to human nature, where everyone is an egoist. How can we build such relationships between people, between egoists, but that we all still exist according to our ability to build the society? Bear children, exist on one hand you have the ego that wants to destroy everything and I want to be the only one, everyone is below me, I’m like a Pharaoh and everyone is below me like slaves, and so on, as if the building that Marx wanted to do was the first example actually, in general, big, in humanity, and look what came out of it. Nothing, why? The Creator is ruining it. It could even be Marx and Einstein, and whoever you bring such wise people, it won’t help. There’s an upper force that stands, and puts an obstacle, trips you, he won’t let humans organize their lives. Let’s say we would agree, everyone agrees, let’s say we would choose, I don’t know some group of wise people from all generations, and they would control us, govern us, govern human society, that wouldn’t help. The Creator wants us to connect, and that connection between us it will determine all the laws in human society in the ideal way, that we ourselves will find these laws, will implement them, will put ourselves in such a net of these laws, and then that is called “he who makes peace above will make peace on us” and the force of connection, mutual bestowal above ego towards connection and mutual bestowal, that is what is going to determine that we build the force of the Creator in the connection between us, and that this force is going to be in control, and not that some wise person comes and from his mind he can do something, nobody can, also nature itself. There is no such force doing it, but people themselves are the ones that have to build it. It is something very not simple, very deep, and it has to reach humanity in a way that it has no choice. We’re going to want it to happen like that. We’ll understand from the depth of our suffering that only in such a way we can discover and receive this upper force. I don’t have enough words, and also we don’t need words. Everyone needs more and more to see how it should stabilize. We’re already in the last generation, the final generation.

S. Another clarification. Even though it was written in such a scientific language like upper sociology, psychology, very scientific, yet it will never sit as a basis of science, like the Capitalistic, there was years back, people won’t grasp it in such a scientific way so it’s only for you, for your students, it was written for us basically.

R. I think that people from the general despair that they’re going to reveal on our world, and more states will come, and it could be very difficult, like world wars, the third and fourth, all kinds of blows, that’s why our explanation, as it’s written “we have to bring the remedy before the blow”, that’s why we need to work and teach humanity to open all the sources of the upper wisdom of nature, Elohim, God in Gematria is nature, there’s no one above us, it is a system we exist in, and we have to open it more and more, to the extent as much as humanity can swallow this, can receive this, each one according to their level, but all in all, in the connection it will turn out that it is absorbed correctly between everybody  We to have to learn how it will spread. That is our work. Not for many generations ahead, not for many generations ahead. I see it, actually well not me, but our children, our grandchildren max, for sure they will already realize it in the actual degree in this world. We are all ready, in whatever we do, each and every one, in whichever way he exists. Life does not end here.

S. If I can continue, it turns out that dissemination needs to follow this in the broadest way, to whomever possible, so not from above downwards like that you will be with some group of smart people in humanity and to show that this doesn’t work and that doesn’t work even though everything seems logical and?

R. I don’t think that the explanation works so much. No. By us being ready for it we, Bnei Baruch,  are ready for connection by that we become the passages as Baal HaSulam writes, a passage between the Creator and all created beings, and they do not understand anything, and we understand the main thing is our role, and then we will be, we will be a passage like a pipeline, and then the upper force can spill through us to all created beings, enter them, and he who makes peace above will make peace upon us, meaning connect us in the right system and be revealed in such a way in all created beings. That’s how it will happen, but not from all of us being Kabbalists raising in the wisdom, no. We will understand that it is not revealed in our minds but by wanting to be the matter in the hands of the Creator.

15. S. (27:54) It is always hard to see how this thing can happen.

R.  It happens from above. That is why it happens.

S. When we came to the path we looked for the truth and we felt the point in the heart feels there is a man of truth and a wisdom of truth and a path in truth. What will people do?

R. This person gradually disappears to give you more and more Independence and the wisdom of the truth gradually becomes more obscure and vague so you yourselves with your approach you add scrutiny to it and give it some contrast between all the parts of it and this kind of way you can use it with your participation already, the right participation.

S. What will open people’s ears and make it heart to feel that there is such a way ?

R. We need to do it as it’s written as much as we can through the connection and constantly studying. The main thing for us is to spread in as broad a way that we can, because  it’s the last generation. That’s why we need to give everyone some kind of approach with the method of correction that each and every one, no matter who or what his is, what color, like Baa HaSulam writes  or what style or the intensity of the desire to still be in contact with the wisdom of Kabbalah. The rest ,let the light do it

16. S. (30:19) How would that change dissemination?

R. I don’t think it will affect the lower ones that we disseminate to because to them we disseminate the wisdom of Kabbalah in the way that is close to the, as much as suitable for them. That is why the extent of our depth of knowledge in the wisdom of Kabbalah won’t be expressed by the way we bestow it to them now. You know it’s like you don’t bring a great professor to teach first-graders. He doesn’t know how to do it . Each one has its place.

17. S. (31:29)  The real peacemakers?

R. We are yearning for it. We don’t understand how to be in it yet, but we are coming closer to it.

18. S. (31:57) I am trying to understand why I don’t see the truth. I have this allegory that each of us walks around with one lens for revealing the truth but in order to reveal the truth you need to somehow connect the focal point of the lenses which has the idea of connection.

R, Yes

S. It’s a very important concept in dissemination to show why there’s no chance for someone to see the truth on his own.

R. Correct and try to explain it to yourself first.

S. I’m trying.

R. Keep going and you will succeed.

19. S. (32:48) You said that I think that you’re taking a step backwards. Is it time to allow us to make a step forward?

R. I don’t think I’m taking a step back. I think I’m advancing. The fact that I am leaving you to feel that the Creator is blessed, and you will connect more and between you and you can determine all kinds of styles of connection. It doesn’t mean that I’m taking a step back, in my eyes it’s ahead.

S. Can you clarify the place, or you are the Creator makes for us? How to identify, and how to work with it?

R. Only in the connection between you. In the contact between you. As much as you build a net of connections, you will  discover all the true laws of nature.

S. The principal is clear. In a more specific way or unique way each time what is changing is what to look for because connection is general. 

R. Yes.

S. How so we identify each time a new space that opens to us we need to  conquer between us?

R. Search for emotion and not for intellect.

S. What kind of emotion?

R. Emotion, feeling in the connection between everyone. Then you will understand how it has to be revealed and how. Only feelings and emotions, desires as an emotion.

S. What kind of emotion to look for each time?

R. Emotions for connection, no more.

20. S. (34:48) The article is incredible. Baal HaSulam describes the qualities so beautifully.

R. Ask without introductions, ask without all these blessings in the beginning, give me a question.

S. How do we relate to the system of discernments in the ten connections between ten, these qualities and the Sefirot, we need to connect between us and forms of spiritual Partzuf?

R. You connect in desires. These desires between you will be a web of connections between you and then you will start discovering when the light influences and bestows on the desires between you. You will feel how these desires become Sefirot and your structure becomes a Partzuf.

21. S. (36:09) If it is possible to bring world peace in the world by the war in the ten?

R. I don’t understand why you neither were in the ten. What the Creator does, He does, but we need to try to yearn for building a connection between us.

22. S. (36:43) We talk about the hope for peace and the world Kli since last February we pray every day, twice a day for peace. The question is how much do we advance and how close are we to this peace?

R. We cannot see the results of our prayers out in the open, between us or between Russia and Ukraine, wherever the other wars in the world are. We cannot see it. What is on us to do. To create a connection in our ten. in our ten. That they will feel that we advance toward the connection between us in such a way that they are the Creator will be revealed. That more and more discernments of bestowing the upper light will be revealed in the connection between us. That is in connection between us in connection and consideration. Connection between us more and more we will feel the discernments that are suitable for the Creator.

23. S. (38:20) On the one hand we grow stronger and overcome in our work and learn deep  concepts in TES too and go through the foundations and concepts of Baal HaSulam. On the other hand you always say the future depends on us and we have to lead this world also in a corporeal external way. For a long time in the world Kli, where you created integral education, based on the principle of Rabash and Baal HaSulam and then later this work of integral education moved aside. How do you see the continued development of this attitude to the world through these more external expressions of the work of Baal HaSulam and Rabash or it will nevertheless be Kabbalah and people will somehow feel that?

R. I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Many years I was next to Rabash. Thousands can tell you how connected I was to him. Every day for many hours except for the lessons. We went on trips, holidays, the beach, the forest, and parks. We used to speak, I used to study at his house, I used to sit next to him in the hospital whenever he was sick. Many hours I served him, I invested in serving him and I have no time for anything else, anything. I worked about 3 to 4 hours a day and the rest was being next to him. That is what happened. When he died, a few people connected to me and from them, I started building a small society. I didn’t think of a big society.

Next to Rabash when I was there, I’d already started writing and publishing my first books and after he died, I just closed myself off at home. I didn’t want to see anybody, and I closed myself off from all the students, that is it. I just kept going, kept writing. After my parents died, when I came back from Canada I started putting Bnei Baruch together because people were already waiting for me here. Then we started building. We didn’t know how, with what until more and more people gathered and that is how it started. I don’t see that; I don’t see that there is anything new here. We are taking the same sources and we are advancing on the same path toward the same goal that the Kabbalist are writing about. I was speaking about this for decades with Rabash. I also think that now I am following his guidance and that is he is watching over us. That is why I  called the organization Bnei Baruch, the sons of Baruch, Baal HaSulam. That is what I have. 

Obviously, we can go much deeper into the studies, but it will be technical, and I am still connected to what Rabash gave me. The main thing is to grasp the foundations of the wisdom of Kabbalah and stand on them and advertise them as broad as you can. That is the correction of the world that we need to do and that by this we will have professors who know how to ask questions or give excuses for each and everything, between the words in TES. I did not learn from him such an approach. We just need to keep going and our connection just to understand what they write. The connection between us is what needs to give us all the desired answers to our work and results towards the Creator.

24. S. (44:42) How can we use as a ten keep the desire to be transmitting pipe of the bestowal so that it benefits everyone?

R. I don’t know. I see every day the world needs a method of correction, and they have no choice, and it is deteriorating into horrible states discovering helplessness. That is the most difficult thing because if you don’t have the right answers for the helplessness you can reach such quarrels till the world war. That’s why we need to try as much as we can as quickly as we can to advertise the method of correction to everyone. Otherwise our world will really go to the bad. That’s it.

25. S. (46:06) About a month ago in a special lesson you gave on the topic when you choose people who will be in an ideological group that will stand at the head of our organization and care about how we are all aimed at the purpose of creation. You said you don’t want to assign people but that the world Kli will choose that group. A survey was sent to the world Kli, friends filled it or  and the results, the social team sent you and since then we haven’t heard about it. We received questions from some friends asking where it stands where we’re going with this if you can tell us a bit?

R. I can’t. Did you choose these people? This group of ideologies?

S. A survey was sent to the world Kli. Friends replied and the results social team sent you, since then we don’t have 

R. Discuss the results of the survey and see what you think about it. I still can’t choose. I can’t say whether yes or no. I feel this way or that way, but we still need to have some kind of body of ideology that will replace me in conducting society ideology. Think about it, start awakening it again, check it. In time you will understand how it has to be.

S. This opens a lot of questions…

R. Why do you want to throw these questions towards me? Don’t clarify with me if you see that approach and I am running away from it. I want you to grow by scrutinizing all these problems. Not that you will come to me and reach a solution right away but by this you will grow. That is what I want. That is why I am not running. I am not running to answer this myself. You are responsible that it will be organized, and you have to awaken it again.
