The Importance of Dissemination – Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #11
1. R. (00:25) Nothing to say about the importance of dissemination, everybody knows that our good future depends on this good for the world, good for us. We are disseminating the most precious thing in the world, the name of the Creator of how to approach him for all created beings which is what he is expecting to happen. So we are here working for the Creator, in the service of the Creator here. So let’s appreciate it as much as possible as there is nothing more important.
Reading excerpt number 11 (01:10) “I say that the first and only Mitzva that…” twice
2. S. (02:40) Baal HaSulam writes to dedicate every moment besides what you need for substances for dissemination, is that what he saying?
R. Yes.
S. The thing is that if we look at the work of the connection, drawing the reforming light, these are very specific things, the morning and afternoon lessons, tens meetings. There are 4 – 5 hours around that and that is for everyone, however dissemination is something that varies from person to person and also a person doesn’t have not much time after that, if you deduct the time we dedicate for the rest of the things.How does a person know that he has fulfilled what Baal HaSulam gave him as an instruction?
R. I do not understand you. We need to do everything possible in order to disseminate the Creator’s desire in the world there are things in the Creator cannot do, he left those things for us to do and we have to fulfill our role. To the extent that people are still disconnected from the Creator we need to fill this void, this gap, this rift between the Creator and created beings they can hear him, they cannot understand, feel Him, nothing, they cannot communicate with Him. So we need to fill this space.
S. A person wants to see if he is doing everything he can with respect to dissemination, how can he check that?
R. These are modes of dissemination, I may not be an expert on them, but we need to bring the connection between the created being and the Creator and between the Creator and the created beings, between the Creator and the created beings it is through prayer and between the created beings and the Creator is dissemination.
S. Is there some kind of minimum that a person says any less than that, how can a person measure himself in to measure to what?
R. I would say as much time as we dedicate to the study, besides everything else, his work, his home, everything else needs to be invested for dissemination.
S. Yesterday on the campus someone asked me what is dissemination, suppose a person goes to work and explains things, is that dissemination too?
R. Yes but he might be able to do something more beneficial if he writes and speaks to people so they listen, meaning we need to determine who is the speaking tp in what quality and quantity.
S. The question more specifically was is dissemination considered only a role that I get from the BB plant for example for whatever I do is it considered dissemination?
R. I do not think so, I don’t think it’s not concrete, it is not serious, typically does not yield any results. I remember working in the army, I used to take all kinds of material and I would distribute it, I didn’t see almost any benefit from it.
3. S. (07:05) He says here that he should work for the public to help the oppressed and every created being in the world that needs salvation. The oppressed, those that need a salvation, what is that is it spiritually or corporeally?
R. Spiritually.
Reading excerpt number 12 (07:36) “One who truly wants to serve the Creator must…” twice
4. S. (09:31) In 12, what is it referring to that we need to integrate with many people, is he talking about dissemination or the work in the ten?
R. Of course dissemination. The 10 is my personal thing, privately, we’re talking about dissemination.
5. S. (10:03) How do I include myself with those people?
R. Dissemination requires that I will incorporate with the audience that I disseminate to and I will know their problems and approach this way of course dissemination is something very wide. We need to understand that it is upon us and the Creator expects us to create a connection, bridge between general public, humanity and him, this is what he expects from us.
S. What does it mean that I raise the desire of the masses?
R. You awakened them so that they will want to know and understand that they depend on him and how they can form a connection with them because their future depends on it.
S. It’s not clear, it is not like I simply meet their desire but I also need to build it?
R. Of course you need to awaken in the desire that needs a necessity and bring them to the connection with the Creator so that they will know how to connect with him, you have to do everything.
S. When we talk about Kabbalah it’s to a person that has a point in the heart, concrete design for the Creator and here we are talking about people who just want to have a good time.
R. He won’t reach a good life and if he doesn’t disseminate to the world that all the good life can only come through the Creator.
S. What does it mean for a person to disseminate?
R. He needs to teach others how to properly advertise the rulership of the Creator in the world.
Reading excerpt number 13 (12:20) “It is known that the whole world, with all created beings..” twice
Reading excerpt number 14 (14:20) “The advice is to ask for the whole collective..”
6. S. (15:30) Whether to share Kabbalah books from Bnei Baruch with people that want to come to the wisdom or they come to from the Kabbalah Center for example.
R. That too is considered dissemination but I do not know how much it works. Typically it does not work, need to send some excerpts or maybe the entire lesson, there are many such things in the archive. Turn to the friends that work in dissemination who are experts in it and ask them and they will tell you. If it’s in Spanish we have a lot of material, please.
7. S. (16:50) He says that he is conduit, a pipeline to the created beings so first of all we need to create a vessel to disseminate to or it doesn’t matter?
R. You have to answer the vessels that we already built and participate in them.
S. If I have not built a vessel, a conduit, a pipeline, I have nothing?
R. There’s already a vessel for everyone from Bnei Baruch, already has a vessel, turn to the management, the department of dissemination, how to participate in it and by that you gain several things. You are working with a large audience of people, of friends you are publicizing the name of the Creator in the world and you are doing it correctly so do it this way you will see success.
S. Then we can really pass the abundance of the rest of the world even though I personally have no vessel.
R. When you work for them you have a vessel.
8. S. (18:18) If I feel that everywhere I go I feel the people want to eat me alive does it mean I am not disseminating enough?
R. Why do they want to eat you because you are so tasty.
S. I do not think so.
R. So what is the problem?
S. It’s just a feeling that something is up with people, I do not know how to put it.
R. The fact that we are becoming worse day by day is clear because we are going through an acceleration process of the evil inclination that is constantly revealed worse and worse. What to do we need to do, to disseminate the method of correction of connection. You’ll see the world will not stop fighting with one another, the wars will grow, there will be more problems and troubles from nature, blows, famine and all kinds of things.
S. If I go outside and the only thing I see is that the world is going crazy?
R. I recommend to you not to go out, to not to go out. I recommend to all of you. Connect to the department of dissemination of BB. There are many people there, join this department, see how they work and each one will certainly find for himself, the time and place with his language. I think it will be good, I think we need to talk about it. Publicize it, explain it to people, how to work with this, who to turn to and then you find your place with it and to the extent that person invests his time in dissemination, he is advertising the Creator to the world. You do not have any work that is higher than publicizing the Creator to the world.
S. What I see outside when I would say go to work could it be some kind of a feedback as to the dissemination that I’m doing, that we are doing, that the world is calming down or not?
R. You’ll see it later. It’s hard to understand, it is already mixed with our general state and the Creator has a gentle process, it is not simple. Imagine the Baal HaSulam advertised things, how much he invested in it and what he saw what was happening, things almost diametrically opposite to what he did.
9. S. (22:00) Our daily work, our prayer that we are doing for many months now, men and women separately, is this pathway of the light, can we make it more effective?
R. No no, because you are not reaching to strange people, it is all between you and the Creator. We are talking about dissemination, where it comes out of our circle and touches strangers. and it connects them through us to the Creator.
S. We are talking about dissemination, about disseminating the wisdom of connection, what we call Integral Education.
R. What is the question?
S. The question is ….
R. I do not know, there are experts you need to speak to those experts in our dissemination department and they will tell you yes or no, turn to them. This is what I said from the very beginning, more than that I do not know.
10. S. (24:00) Department managers will come now and explain how to join dissemination but the question is what deficiency does the broader public have that external audiences have not?
R. They want to be live a good life there will not being any bombing and there is bread and not like everybody is speaking about, they’ll be shortages water, they don’t want all these blows to come to them blood, frogs, lice and so on. That is what the public wants and we need to explain to them that these things will happen more and more unless we correct the attitude between us and the upper Force. Elokim in Gematria is nature, we have a good, correct connection with nature so we can mitigate nature and then these things will not happen.
We will not want to do these things, if we do not want to do this thing, if you don’t want to mitigate, things will get worse. We are weak, we are in the middle and we don’t know what to do. If we knew what to do, we lack the connection between us to activate all of humanity towards all the blows. So we have a problem here: we are not connected between us, we’re not connected to Nature and nature’s mechanism is working on us in a way that is not upgraded, corrected, for our betterment, why, it works for our detriment, we need to connect and ac yourselves towards him correctly, all should be an action of explanation.
11. S. (26:32) You previously answered that you said that we need to both create a need and experience shows that that is the hardest thing, how do you awaken the deficiency for the Creator?
R. We need to do what you do and everything else will come in the form of blows from nature and people need to wake up. From us all the material has to be ready in dissemination so that with the smallest blow they will begin to understand that it’s coming at them, directed. What should we do, we should mitigate those blows and that is how we will reach even quicker the connection between the people and the correction of the world.
12. S. (27:35) In excerpt number 14 Rabash gives advice that I dwell among my people is not something national or nationalistic?
R. The wisdom of Kabbalah appeals to everyone as Baal HaSulam writes and sadly you don’t read it, it does not matter white, black, red, yellow, it does not matter which person, with respect the wisdom of Kabbalah there is no difference between people. Only how much and willing they are ready to invest in the connection between them and to the Creator because by that we reach the connection.
Reading excerpt number 15 (28:50) “You lack nothing but to go out to a field that the Lord…” twice
13. R. (29:37) This is in essence our work, you see what he is saying here, that you lack nothing, except for to go out to the field the Lord has blessed, you need to go out to all of humanity and connect everybody into one body. Only this is what a person is lacking to reach wholeness.
