Part 2:
Mutual Guarantee in a Pack of Wolves
Reading Condition #1 (00:41) “The leader of the wolf pack..”
1. S. (01:40) These laws, are we supposed to be like them?
R. I don’t know, let’s see first.
S. Wolves do it intuitively, we don’t.
R. They are built in such a way that their pack exists according to these laws, it’s instinctive.
S. Are we meant to make it instinctive as well?
R. We need to work on ourselves in order to resemble wolves.
S. What if you do, if you see a wolf that doesn’t want to join the pack?
R. There’s no such thing with wolves, they kill him.
2. S. (02:44) There can be someone who sees himself that he needs to be the leader, he thinks that the leader is more..?
R. Please, so he needs to prove it before everybody, that he can be more responsible, be more concerned, more responsible and from this he will become the leader of the pack. Clear, right? That means not to run away, no one is allowed to run away from leadership, and whoever is the most successful in it he comes closer to being the leader of the pack.
3. S. (03:42) Tell me please, what does it mean that the leader can protect everyone?
R. That’s his purpose.
S. How does he protect each one?
R. He takes care of everybody like a mother.
S. And what is his protection?
R. To them?
S. Yes.
R. I don’t know what means he has but with everything possible, he’s responsible for their life, for their well-being.
S. He feels responsible for them?
R. Yes, yes.
4. S. (04:30) How is the leader chosen? Is it chosen by itself, the pack chooses?
R. According to the conditions, we’ll read about it soon, what the conditions the leader needs to have.
S. But who chooses him?
R. [no translation]
5. S. (04:50) Is there a leader in the Ten?
R. We are now learning about leadership in the environment of the wolves.
S. Yes, I know but there are consequences, reflections to us?
R. I don’t know about speaking from this about you, I don’t think it’s not just for the wolves.
S. The question is why are we learning it?
R. I don’t know, don’t.
Reading Condition #2 (05:35) “The stronger and more experienced..”
6. R. (06:02) That is something he does with his force, by not letting a dispute and all kinds of movements to get stronger. That obviously each and everyone has some kind of desire to reach some kind of deviation so the leader extinguishes it at its root.
7. S. (06:34) In a pack, when is a fight correcting the relationships and when do we need to interfere and stop it?
R. I don’t know, let’s just learn what is written down here, we want to get an impression from this. I don’t want now to start in our first reading to already get into all kinds of philosophy.
Reading Condition #3 (07:03) “The leader leads the pack..”
8. R. (07:21) Meaning to be a leader means to be in practice, to lead everyone.
Reading Condition #4 (07:30) “The wolves advance in a caravan..”
9. R. (08:16) Yes, and to be responsible for everyone. Read it again.
Reading Condition #4 Again. (08:20) “The wolves advance in a caravan..”
10. S. (09:10) The movement in the chain is according to the first three weakest ones, so they go slowly in order not to lose them, that’s why they have to be first?
R. I don’t know, I’m hearing what’s written.
S. I’m asking about the wolves now.
R. I understand.
Reading Condition #5 (09:44) “A male wolf lives his..”
11. R. (10:17) Not simple? Look how much we still have to go through in order to reach such a thing.
Reading Condition #6 (10:35) “So far for the male wolf,..”
Reading Condition #7 (11:00) “When a female wolf prepares..”
Reading Condition #8 (11:22) “A female wolf that has..”
Reading Condition #9 (11:55) “When a mother wolf goes hunting..”
Reading Condition #10 (12:44) “A pack can take care..”
12. R. (13:40) These are the ten conditions of how we behave man to man like a wolf. What’s the impression?
13. S. (13:59) I really like this whole thing about animals, I don’t know who wrote it. There are many mistakes here in these ten points. I don’t know, I’m surprised that we take some text that we don’t know who wrote it and bring it here to the Kabbalah lesson, it really bothers me.
R. Okay.
14. S. (14:28) After we read this I feel like the wolves are more corrected than we are.
R. Of course.
S. They are closer and more in a mutual guarantee. Why is it like that?
R. Because they’re working according to nature and we aren’t.
S. Why is the leader in the back?
R. I don’t know all these laws but I guess he’s responsible for the whole pack and that’s why. Like this he is at the end.
15. R. (15:21) Okay, you heard it, whoever wants can go and read it again but there’s something to learn from this, from animals in general. For them it’s in their instincts that helps them exist. Let’s keep going, there are questions here, people who aren’t used to this who don’t agree with this, okay. Alright, not too bad, this was just to get an impression of what happens in a pack of wolves.
16. S. (16:42) There is much to learn from nature and there’s inner resistance on the one hand, on the other hand I’m looking for this leader, I found one, can I accept as a leader the point of connection the point of unity in the Ten, the center of the Ten, this north star that will charge first all the enemies. Am I not removing responsibility for myself when I choose the point of connection, the center of connection as the leader?
R. I guess not, I don’t know. We have to discuss this together and decide but for now it is not important.
17. S. (17:40) Many friends have gathered here, men and women. What does it mean to serve our organization, what does it mean to serve the Creator?
R. Our organization exists in order to reveal the Creator or to show the path to reveal Him to all people in the world without contact with anything that’s in any of them. By this we engage and will engage.
18. S. (18:35) The wolf is alone in his life. How should I be connected with the Ten and not be a lone wolf?
R. A lone wolf?
S. How not to be the lone wolf because the wolf is a lone animal?
R. To take care of the pack that there is nothing more important than the wholeness of the group because without this nobody reaches the goal and in the group each and everyone eventually is rewarded with support from the friends and reaches the goal.
