Baal HaSulam. The Arvut (Mutual Guarantee). #25

1. Rav’s Introduction: Yes, what we have learned here is the history, how the divine idea, the divine clothes into this world and people. It is a big problem because how can we imagine that it is happening according to the will of receive the Creator created and the will to receive spread into 70 different qualities, Hesed, Gevurah, Tifferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, Malchut, which are called the 70 nations of the world. In each group in each part in each nation if you divide humanity in this way since it is coming from the 70 roots there is a great difference in how we are bringing this different groups to unity, to connection, so that they would attain GAR, Bina,Hochma and Keter which are the qualities of the Creator.

How can we imagine those things? Therefore, we learned that this is how it is from the upper roots that they spread down below the forces and humanity that was created in this world includes these 70 roots called the 70 nations of the world. The goal here is from this dispersion between them, even though there is a great difference in how we are bringing these different roots between their spiritual roots and according to these roots they also develop corporaly, differently from one another. Each one has its culture, education, psychology, his approach to life, it is hard to find among them something that is similar since on the inanimate, still, vegetative and animate degrees they resemble each other according to the flesh as we say but according to the human qualities they belong to the psychology, the attitude to life, they have different roots between them.

We here we have to understand the there is a time for these roots to develop and to show relative to the others and to feel relative to the others their uniqueness and the difference between the nations of the world their conflicts here and the wars and all the games of the ego that is burning in each and every one that is happening in a natural way. Later they come to a new period when they understand that the connection between them is worthwhile compared to the profit from conflict. So it turns out that this period changes and we see in humanity. We begin to form ties, education and culture and trade is very important and very close to people’s ego on one hand. On the other hand it causes connection but at a different degree, as it says go and profit from each other. This is how we come to the state where there are nevertheless connections between the nations.

Until we come to a state where through the desires that are growing and are approaching one another through the profit and the losses of one another that exist around them and the trade they begin to be connected to one another. In this way they begin to form connections in culture, education and science until they begin to mix together. The first kind of mixture that takes place in humanity was in ancient Babylon and from there we have those first signs of connection between all the groups. It is not so many nations you could say, it’s between the different groups. You can say that naturally, artificially. One group said, ” no we are not in this like everyone, we want to connect together and from all those 70 groups called the 70 nations of the world, people have gathered, people who started to think that the connection between them is more worthwhile, more appealing,more advanced and in the connection between them they can attain much more profit and succeed in attaining the essence of life and the purpose of life.

This is how the group called Yashar Kel was born and it was written that our desire is to reveal our king. We wish to know this force that is governing reality that connects us and above us. In this way a nation was formed, a group. it was called a nation. Another group that does not belong to the 70 natural roots that existed in humanity and it was a mixture of everyone. From the other nations it’s stature it existed was based on their desire to reach Arvut connection, in this way they exist because their existence reached a new essence where there are not many people here, not many cultures as each and every other nation has. Rather there is something here which is common to the whole human species. Through their connection,through incorporation between them they are able to build something between them called Adam HaRishon, who resembles the creator, there is a common space between them.

This is the first step towards reaching the concept of the Creator because just like the Creator who shattered the system of Adam HaRishon. They wanted to connect, in order to find their root which is man and this is what they tried to do. Since then thousands of years have passed and we are today in that same continuation of that same trajectory. Today we begin to see those things as they are established in such a way that rather we begin and rather continue that original trend to be together to reveal between us in the connection between us the Creator, the upper force. If we try to connect above our ego, as we learned and we will learn in the future, by this we are building a system called BoReh.

What is this common power, our common root that we discover this way that connects us? All those who are different from one another, distant from one another cannot understand one another but above all our differences we try to nevertheless connect together and they reach something common that we can reveal these common qualities called the Creator. This is how we make it, how we come to be connected through the Arvut for the revelation of the Creator. Therefore the Arvut is such an important state, it is the final state from the perspective of our existence in the revelation of the Creator between us. Where as much as we connect between us as one man with one heart, as much as we are incorporated without erasing anything that exist in as a naturally that the Creator created in each and everyone, since why would he shatter the vessel of Adam HaRishon into all the different details and individual apart since if we can begin to search for the connection above the individual details then we collect this lego, this puzzle into all these pieces into something called BoReh, come and see, Creator. This is how we can imagine him ,get to know him, attain him, we have no other way.

n this way, then we can come to a connection and to the purpose of connection. Therefore, love your friend as yourself and all the other verses that point us into the direction of connection. They are necessary to be realized between us because by this we realize our destiny. To this date we were in preparation and in these days and beyond we are in the process of realization, the realization of the correction. As  Baal HaSulam explains to us, we can begin to connect in practice between us and above our corporeality where we find ourselves in different biological bodies and above that we can connect as one man in one heart. Then according to our intentions and thoughts and our direction to connection we can be as one system. Meaning a system, different but as one. Where everyone works, like all the systems that we learn about and rebuild in technology where all the parts are working each according to his nature but all of us share a single intention to attain are common goal.

This is the form of our connection and in this way we connect more and more and we reveal more and more that special force that exists between us and it is revealed. All of it. our process process can be called Arvut since as much as we can advance towards the final goal each of us in the connection between us we will reveal opposing forces, the forces of mutual rejection, the ego.on the one hand. On the other hand, we have to work on love covers all transgressions since the connection between us will be more and more multifaceted and more powerful above all the differences between us and this is in fact the power of the vessel we are building. As much as parts of it become individuality egoistic, greater and egoistic connection above them and will connect everyone together and this way we will build this great vessel with internal intensity with a big ego and the big connection above it.

Until we get to realize the entire will to receive that the Creator created something existence out of absence and we will ask the Creator for the forces of connection since these egoistic forces connect between them, above them, and this is how we can get the level of the corrected vessel which means that we are setting up the system of Adam 620 times stronger than how it was in the system of Adam HaRison in the beginning of creation. Meaning the entire process we have undergone is called the revelation of the ego, the force that separates us increasing this ego, inventing the connection between us so love would cover all transgression. Then for this connection to take place above the separation and that’s how we advance. Until we come to a state where we are all one man with one heart and all of humanity and all of the souls will connect together.

Which will be the end of correction to bring that created being so it would truly resemble the Creator on all of its power. This is what we are celebrating today, if we can say in these days. This is called the festival of the ‘Giving of the Torah’ because the receiver special illumination that connects us that explains to us how we need to behave with one another through the forces of Arvut which is the main thing that has to be revealed through the giving of the Torah and this connection explains everything that is happening to us and also the entire process we have to undergo from the beginning of creation to the end of creation.

2. S. (20:15) This connection in one man and one heart, does it happen only in the intention or also in the desire?

R. No, our desires remain as they were and there will be more and more divided and separate desires even very distant desires as humanity develops there is greater and greater scrutiny in our egoistic nature ,culture and education and through this development we begin to know ourselves more and more and see how different we are how strange we are to each other, but from that we try to put herself back together as a single system where our goal is to attain our root which is one. Then by leaning towards attaining the root, the Creator, we connect. Otherwise there is no connection. There is no force that would connect as there is no reason to connect us because in truth each and everyone is different than the others and through the shattering all the desires and intentions and thoughts are divided and one is nothing like his friend rather we are all different but when we want to reveal the Creator who is one for everyone and only in this way being one for everyone is called the upper one, the Creator. In order to attain him we must connect.

We must be one man with one heart. Meaning in our desires to unite so that all our desires and from him and only in the connection of the desires when the system works it is already divided into broken, it will work one unit, integral to the attainment of the Creator. It turns out that there are many, this is called the 600000 souls but that number is just the according to the Rosh of the Partzuf and Guf of the Partzuf of Adam Ha Rishon and his Guf is Hesed, Gevurah,Tifferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, and this is why each one needs to climb to the to the degree of Atzilut called the ….. This is why we say 600,000 souls, it is not a number really although we count this according to the numbers seemingly quantity, but it is not quantity it is an inner intensity. This is how we connect in attaining the Creator.

S. We rise to the degree of ZA or any spiritual degree by leaving the uniqueness of the desire?

R. Each and everyone grows inside his own forces, the individual quality of each and everyone grows more and more. We find ourselves as different from each other, each one becomes greater like this block, 1, 2, 3. Just like with babies we do not see the difference between them but when people grow up we see how different they are. And the same is with us but the difference that is revealed between us specifically is when we make this connection above the differences. It turns out that by this we are assembling the system of Adam HaRishon 620 times more. Meaning many times greater than how it was before the shattering of Adam HaRishon. And through the dispersion of these parts and the increase of the ego in them we can now reveal the connection between them, the great juicy kind of connection, and by that we attain the degree of the Creator himself.

S. So it turns out that if we keep the gaps between us, our individuality we still transcend it. So this means in the future wars will happen and people will rise above it?

R. No. We are coming to a state where we will transform our desires from desires of resistance to desires of connection. As it is written in the prophets, Isaiah he writes about it. That in the end all the desires to receive will connect together through the screen and this great vessel that is full of internal conflict and collision in each and every part, everybody will be covered in a single screen. And we’ll have one direction for the action of each and every desire as long as we attain the mutual guarantee with all the other desires that are opposite and hateful. If we work to attain the one root since the one root is one, it is possible to attain it only through the connection of different branches, even hated branches.

3. S. (28:15) The intensity is 600,000, the amount of Mitzvot is 620 and the degrees are 125. How can we put these numbers together?

R. Do not try to do this. We have not learned how to combine the number of Mitzvot with the number of Souls and the number of degrees the number of worlds and the so on, these are different qualities. We need to know the connection between them it doesn’t need to be one number. We’ll learn about this it is not a problem. Even if you do not know about it you will reveal it later. In the wisdom of Kabbalah the important thing is connection. What’s revealed in the connection, this is what you have to reveal and understand and above that don’t demand. Because before you come to it with your qualities you should not jump into it. You’ll make it into a philosophy or religion or kinds of imaginary attitudes.

4. S. (29:36) You said that the collision of opposites is a sign that we begin to recognise each other?

R. Clearly through all kinds of connections either during wars or commerce we begin to know each other more and more. We get into these acquaintances in this world, this corporeal world through these various actions between us.

S. Meaning there is a broken system. In it are opposite pieces that are trying to connect so as to become a single whole system called Adam, to reach that. And because they try to connect until they yearn for love, this is why all the wars and conflicts are created because the qualities are opposite?

R. It says that I created the evil inclination, I created the Torah as a spice and the evil information is a help against. So through our egoistic desires we can approach each other in order to succeed and to profit from each other. But for the time being we’re starting to discover that the connection if it takes place above the ego, it is more profitable both in corporeality and in spirituality. We discover this over a period of hundreds and even thousands of years and various cultures, each one of us stood within his own culture. But eventually we all come as the Kabbalists write to a time when the world has become one although all the parts are opposite to each other but reluctantly we discover, especially today.

That we are at war and nobody is actually winning this war and gaining from this war but rather the winner is humanity when it connects above the forces of separation. What we need to discover from all of this is there is no strong men here or a wise men here rather only to discover the connection between us the essential state where we connect in order to be in bestowal, automatic bestowal between us. We are so opposite from it right now that it does not seem possible but we need to actually understand. And we understand from all the forms in nature that from this collision from this conflict especially this ideological conflict seemingly, we will come to connection, to the necessity of the connection between us above all the differences. So all the differences we won’t pay attention to them because this comes from the corporeal nature, from the still, vegetative, animate and speaking.

This is not what separates us. Rather in the connection about it we will discover our reality in the upper world since by that we suddenly discover the entrance to the upper reality, eternal, whole. And it is not through some Hocus Pocus or something, rather it’s truly through the forces of nature and in this way we rise above our ego, from the degree of men to the degree of the Creator.

5. S. (35:18) How can I love my friend with the ego, the will to receive? How to build such a system?

R. My friend, this is what we are learning about. We need to try to build this between us. Of course this is not simple, and all of humanity is seemingly waiting for it, although it doesn’t even know what is happening, but this is the path we have to go through. We are learning, some of the path we already covered and there will be additional stages, there will be much more, much quicker. And we’ll finally get to it. I have nothing more to add. Just to do what Kabbalists tell us and then we will understand even from what’s happening to us where we’re headed. During our time, in our state, the process the world is going through, we can see how these processes are changing, how they’re about to get as to something which should be in any minute now, the revelation of the Creator to the created beings.

6.S. (37:13) About the process you were describing, where will humanity get the strength to win against the feelings of hatred and rejection?

R. Humanity will get from us the method and the mind and the understanding for how to realize connection on its level. Each one will do it on his level, each will work to sustain the system.

7. S. (37:55) With all of the right use of the method and sufficient intensity of Arvut we discover that specifically during the lesson, every moment the Creator is building us from our individual tens, builds a Kli.

R. Yes, and specifically when it feels like we’re coming to the lesson and we’re going to do something in the lesson, that’s how we need to relate to the lesson. But this is the time when we meet between us and the Creator builds for that day and makes us into a new system. He gives us an upgrade to our entire group.

S. Specifically in that place of Arvut where we invest the place between us?

R. Yes and no, the Creator does what He needs to do. But we need to show our presence as much as possible, our willingness for change, for being taken care of.

S. Another clarification. Yesterday we talked a lot about softness and roughness. So being tough to myself and discovering the right softness towards others, this is the way?

R. Yes.

8. S. (40:06) I am a little bit confused when we say that we have to attain Arvut. Because for me I think about it as a condition and an attitude that is my responsibility to walk into the ten with. To start with I start with that.

R. We need to try to come to a connection between us called the Arvut and the degrees of Arvut are exactly the 125 degrees on top of which we attain the end of correction, to become as one man in one heart.

9. S. (41:06) Is there any assistance, do we receive any aid? What helps us, how does it help us that there used to be a group? How can we relate to the idea that the Arvut was achieved in some group called Israel? Does it have to do with us?

R. There were many such groups, many. Maybe we will learn some history sometime but here and there over thousands of years from ancient Babylon until today there were groups that attained to a small extent, partially, the law of Arvut. We will learn about it. Nevertheless each and everything works in the general vessel and the brings about a correction.

Arvut Item 25 (45:38)

10. R. (46:11) Mitzvot means corrections that we have to perform on our will to receive.

11. R. (46:30) Meaning if we are talking about the general correction of nature especially the ego that exists between one person and another, we have to scrutinize the relationship between us, how egoistic it is. Meaning it can’t just be between two people, rather there has to be here between the people such a special relationship that develops to such an extent that they would feel that they are in opposition to each other, and how there is an negative or positive attitude between them. So they need to have to have such relationships between them like a nation or an extended family, and then we can talk about the correction of these relationships.

12. R. (47:34) So when the evil is revealed called Pharoah which is revealed in them, it’s not an Egyptian or anything but rather the ego that’s between them. This is how it’s called.

13. R. (47:53) The Mitzva of the Arvut, love your friend as yourself.

14. R. (48:05) And when they agreed to it the Torah was given to them. Meaning when they want to come to a connection between them of love, they need to connect again to the image of Adam HaRishon. Then they will receive from above gradually the forces for that connection.

15. R. (48:39) We have questions and may not understand these questions let alone the answers so let’s keep going.

16. S. (48:50) Why does he hinge all his explanation on this group?

R. This is how we receive the Torah from the Creator, through a certain group that act as a demonstration, shows us an example. It develops the method, the approach, the method of correction. It scrutinizes the relationships between them and suddenly they discover how much they hate each other, how distant they want to be, they do not want to connect and study. Meaning the group scrutinizes this state and later it expands into all of humanity, how we are built naturally to this day. You’ll see each and every nation has its core or seed, government people, education people, there’s a core. From that core everything spreads to the nation, its ideology, its characteristics, various laws. It’s according to the form of Adam HaRishon that system.

S. Specifically in this ideological group which is Israel I would expect that each time it would be redefined who is called Israel because it is the matter of the inclination of the heart. So what is the connection between what seems to be like a historical story he brings us here?

R. It is not an historic tale. Inside the historic tale there is a desire that the Creator gave to this group to a few people who connected together around Abraham. And they felt that what he was saying about the role of man is correct, and that’s why they followed him.

S. What is the connection then between that group who followed Abraham and us?

R. That group sets an example and it starts a movement for all of humanity towards the corrected form. Even this group from the outset was connected to many different people in Babylon, and it turns out that this is how it is till this very day. I do not see any difference, just like this group back then was made out of the 70 nations of the world as it is written. We need to accept this thing and investigate it and explore it and see that this is so. And we will have no confusion when they call themselves Israel. We think it’s one nation, one family but it’s not exactly. It’s different people and each one according to his corporeal foundation is very different from the others. But according to spirituality, there is no spirituality. They have an attraction to discover the essence of life and that’s why they connect.

S. But what is the continuity between the generations?

R. By giving from one generation to the another the method of correction. How to reach correction, how to discover the upper force.

S. This is today? Who’s giving me today the correction from the previous generations?

R. Today the group that gives it, that is trying to give to humanity the method of correction is the group of Bnei Baruch.

S. It’s connected to Abraham from then?

R. Of course we are pulling this entire process from all the way from back then and we’re connected to the end of that thread but the beginning is back then in ancient Babylon, the revelation of the Creator by one of their priests, one of the people in Babylon who was Abraham son of Terah.

S. And the whole form of those called Israel who don’t have a spiritual inclination called Israel, how are they connected to that group?

R. They are not connected, they will simply find out. That they come to this movement in various forms to reveal the Creator because the world will get into such states and the will to receive in such a person will grow into such virtues that without discovering the Creator in each and everyone a person will feel that he cannot survive, cannot exist.

S. This is clear. The question is about those who today are called Jews or Israel who do not belong to this spiritual process?

R. No, today it is not at all. We have no contact with this, with that original people of Israel and the process and the essence of creation but it opens up to everyone. That’s what Baal HaSulam wanted to emphasize, that we are in The Last Generation. And anyone who grew up during the time and then joined it, there are many who came in and left from the ten lost tribes, all these things will revealed later but there is no connection to us whatsoever. In the old days there used to be many tribes and thousands of people but we don’t need it for attaining the goal.

We need a strong core that will be in the correct form of mutual guarantee and that will cause this world to connect, connect with the upper force, this is the main thing. And then the entire world will begin to feel that yes, we have no choice, this is the truth. We have to hold on, not to the same group as it were but rather the same approach, attitude. To reveal the Creator through the Arvut, the connection between us. From love of the created beings to love of the Creator.

17. S. (56:29) On one hand we learn that it’s the group that gathered around Abraham, a few thousand people like it is written and he writes to us in the previous items of the grace of Abraham, Issac and Jacob only, he emphasizes that. This is not so clear.

R. The grace of Abraham, Issac and Jacob means that we speak about the GAR of the degree, it’s not people. Those are desires to receive that are connected to Keter, Hochma, Bina. And from them you begin to have the cascading down to the rest of the human species.

S. So perhaps the question is that the need to hear it from Baal HaSulam, but why does he write such words in an article which goes to the people? You have to guess that these are higher things, so it’s confusing. It’s confusing when he wants to break the iron wall.

R. Look, this is a complaint about Baal HaSulam. He writes the way he can, what he can. And if he cannot write because of various calculations and various fears then he doesn’t. He writes to the entire nation especially to all the rest of the nations as he went to Poland during the revolution, he wanted to publicize this to the rest of the world. You don’t know how much criticism he got from everyone and how everyone relates to him. There is a big difference between accepting the Torah in a popular way where it is about the keeping of the corporeal Mitzvot, commandments and how you accept the Torah in such a way that it is all about love your friend as yourself, about correcting your desire and your attitude towards other people.

There is a big difference between these two attitudes so in order to not to tarnish the approach of love your friend as yourself he also has to maintain the attitude towards Torah and Mitzvot in their common forms. So who knows what could happen with these books. It could have been burned like the books of Maimonides. So this is why we have to continue as much as possible. There will be other generations, more developed, more advanced. We’ll now continue. You see that I cannot expand on it right now.

18. S. (59:44) That is why it took until they came out of Egypt and became worthy. What does it mean to become worthy and is there a connection between the past and the future?

R. It means suitable for correction, suitable for correction. The will to receive that developed in them now fits the action that they have to perform in the system of Adam HaRishon.

S. How is the connection between the past that they were worthy and today, is there a connection?

R. It is one system.

S. So the calendar makes no difference?

R. No, it makes no difference. It can be one action now and another action 2000 years from. It’s one system at work here.

19. S. (01:00:50) I have two questions. Is there also Arvut between the upper one and his students or only amongst friends?

R. The Arvut takes place between the upper one and the group. The Creator does not consider a single person, only tens. It is like we will learn about later that the upper light enters only if there are 10 complete Sefirot that have this expansion from Keter to Malchut and they can resemble themselves to the action of the light. And there is a connection between the will to receive in the Sefirot and the light.

S. Second question, there is a prohibition to teach Torah to the Goy. Can we speak about the Arvut that opens the doors to the time of correction now?

R. A Goy, a gentile is someone who doesn’t yearn for the purpose of creation and the purpose of the spiritual life. This is called a gentile. One who yearns for it is called a holy nation or Israel, Yashar El. That’s the difference, that is the only difference. if you get into the books you will see what’s written there. It is all about that. You either yearn for the goal, you want to advance yourself meaning to sanctify yourself, then you are called a holy nation or Israel; if you do not yearn for it then you’re like animals, like beasts, they were all as beasts. It’s one of the two. There is no difference here between nationalities. You can be French, German, Ugandan it doesn’t matter, all kinds of nations, there are seventy nations of the world, it doesn’t matter. Rather a nation among the nations meaning all those who yearn for the Creator they are called Israel, and Israel is not a nationality, it is not a nationality, it is not at all.

20. S. (01:03:55) The differences aren’t just in the roots of the nations, there are also developments, different ideologies, what is this complex state of the world hinting, implying in regards to how to realize Arvut?

Reader: He says the world has changed and everything became more complex..

R. But in what way has it become more complex, the toys that we are producing for ourselves every moment? In what has the world changed? Man has changed today is more complex, more egoists, bigger egoism but other than that where does he see such great changes in the world?

S. He’s asking, this complexity influences the form of Arvut between us?

R. Yes, it helps us understand that we are interdependent and therefore the Arvut is more relevant, otherwise the world cannot exist. You see Russia and Ukraine already in a war and half of the world will feel it in the lack of food, half of the world population even more will feel the rest of the nations that are not at war but we will feel in each and every country, in addition to the rising prices, we will feel shortage of food. Because somewhere over there Russia and Ukraine are waging war more and more we will get to such revelations they need for a connection, the guarantee. According to the Arvut I cannot do anything bad to the other, let alone when I see that it causes harm to the others, how can that be? Here there are no calculations whatsoever, rather they make the kind of calculation where the more we pressure everyone I can profit but of course there will be no profit there.

21. S. (01:06:56) How to awaken the desire towards the upper force, how does it happen? How to awaken the deficiency of the world to build a connection with the upper force, how does that manifests?

R. Through dissemination we explain that we can influence our fate, it’s not some blind faith rather to the extent and we try to connect in order to bestow to him, we can advance, we can come closer to him. We can change his attitude to us and it will change our attitudes between us and toward him, it all depends on us, if we relate to our lives like a system that can be managed then everything can change for the good.

S. Are we really in this point of time like you said in the beginning of the lesson we’re the world can receive it from us today?

R. I am not certain but you have to try and do it with all our might, meaning why dissemination from Bnei Baruch to the whole world is the kind of work that advances us the most toward connection toward correction.

22. S. (01:08:46) What is the difference between Israel and Israel as the country?

R. I don’t see any difference. Israel is the same word, Isra is Yashar, straight of the Creator, and El is the Creator, so straight to the Creator is called Israel.

S. The Arvut that doesn’t come to us from awakening the light that reforms?

R. There is no such a thing that you’re doing something, it is always passing through the general system, thorough your broken ten and it influences the original ten, the upper ten, the spiritual ten in which the Creator’s force resides and from there you and other humans receive changes, influence that is how it works. From our ten from our times to the upper original ten and from there back to us and the more we approach the concept of that spiritual ten, the influence is more powerful and that’s how we advance until we’re all incorporated into it.

S. If you can give us some example, let’s say in the ten we felt Arvut?

R. You need to try and imagine that you’re in the ten and try to be so connected there you seemingly can composite the image of the Creator between you.

23. S. (01:11:19) Why is the Matan Torah the final correction?

R. The Matan Torah, the giving of the Torah is only a gift from above that was given to you, you have not merited it yet rather there are certain conditions in you for which you can receive the Torah. Later you have to carry it out, you have to do it, it says by that you’re building yourself,you are advancing yourself toward a form called the reception of the Torah in full which is the end of correction.

S. But the Torah is the method of correction, something whole?

R. It is whole as a method but you have to reach this stage where this method is clothes in you.

S. ……

R. Through connection, through love your friend as yourself.

S. Through the method develops, the desire develops the method or vice versa?

R. The development of the desire helps the realization of the method.

24. S. (01:12:57) You said that each one has his own, each nation has his own root in the system of Adam HaRishon, how can you detect and discover it?

R. There is no need for it. We have a goal. We have to yearn for that goal and to look for the roots, that is the last thing, nobody’s looking for it. Anyone who is looking for it is simply a fool. It is the opposite of the direction we need to develop and we are not looking for roots in our archaeology, rather looking for a root in the Creator .

25. S. (01:13:52) If the created being goes through a shattering once and doesn’t come back does it mean the Matan Torah happens once?

R. I don’t understand the question, we all went through the shattering, we need to correct the shattering by connection between us.

26. S. (01:14:10) In 25 it is written that we have to scrutinize the question Israel was asked whether they agreed to receive the Torah. What does it mean that the people of Israel were asked this question and they agree?

R. These are the questions that awaken in people that yearn for the root, to obtain the root, so in them these questions awaken and this is what we also, to some extent, feel within us, how the questions awaken in us.

27. S. (01:14:52) Why, if Yashar Kel is the inner desire in person why there is anti-Semitism towards regular Jews in the world?

R. Of course there is great hatred, natural, natural, it is written that from Torah being given to Israel, along with it hatred descended and it descended from the Creator, from above through the people of the world, through the peoples of the world against Israel. Because it is against the human ego and it is felt in the most internal way and no one knows why it is but it is because the Jews, Israel, still have within them some connection to that method which is against ego, which they themselves don’t know. They themselves are the biggest egoists nevertheless than method is against the ego and this is why the Jews are hated.

28. S. (01:16:01) Why did the Creator create people that don’t care about the system that manages them?

R. It is like that for the time being it does not interest them, we’re all like that, we’re all like beasts advancing and developing to the degrees of man and from the degree of man to the degree of the Creator.

29. S. (01:16:27) First you said in the beginning of the lesson that until this day it was a preparation, from now on we are implementing the correction. Where is the border between preparation to implementation?

R. It is from that same Babylon that is where the correction started.

30. S. (01:16:57) What are the signs that we’re coming closer to the correction between us?

R. Signs we are connecting is to the extent the group becomes a ten and in the ten we begin to discover phenomena between the spiritual Sefirot.

31. S. (01:17:23) How will the revelation of the Creator be expressed in all of the humanity?

R. By all of humanity feeling our great, great deficiency because they will have no choice, a great deficiency to attain the Creator in order to be saved from terrible troubles and problems and suffering. The suffering can be on the spiritual level or also on the corporeal level. It depends on how much we will realize the correction.

32. S. (01:18:00) In the Arvut there are the Creator’s qualities, is this why man resists the Arvut?

R. Yes of course, a person resists the Arvut, the mutual responsibility. By our nature who wants to be connected to others as one man and one heart. How can that be? But I leave my heart and the friend leaves his heart and we unite in the heart that yearns only for the Creator, only for the bestowal, only for the whole world, who needs it?

33. S. (01:18:41) Is it possible to tear off all the external signs from you so it won’t be expressed on the other side toward the others?

R. Only through prior connection.

34. S. (01:19:03) Is the whole story of Abraham that happened also in the corporeal history?

R. Yes, but for the time being we cannot connect it all together, let’s not talk about history. By all those stories you need to understand how they’re written and what they talked about, we still can’t explain to ourselves. It’s like the child you can’t explain to him a story from the book or something because he still doesn’t get human relationships and all kinds of situations, there’s no perception, so we haven’t to wait until he grows.

35. S. (01:19:56) So much suffering in the world, how will they reach the correction if they don’t even want to hear about it?

R. They will want to hear, through the blows people develop they will want to hear. They will hear and they will change.

36. S. (01:20:21) If you could elaborate, what is the necessary condition to enter Arvut in the ten?

R. What is the necessary condition? We’re learning it now, the article The Arvut, the mutual guarantee or responsibility, all of us get closer to each other and together all of us yearn for the purpose of creation, for the revelation of the Creator between us. The Creator cannot be revealed in any one person, it’s not in nature but in a connection between people when between them there is a difference in the desires and thoughts and qualities and they want to be as one, so in that connection that they built between them, there the Creator can be revealed.

37. S. (01:21:15) How our screens connect all the friends in the group and the Arvut?

R. We don’t know this but we still need to discover that we are really coming to spiritual closeness and that is why we are suddenly in this one group of Bnei Baruch, in different tens in all kinds of states but there is a connection between us, that’s why we’re all awakened by force.

38. S. (01:21:54) What is the first practical way that we can realize the Arvut between us?

R. What Rabash writes in the social articles, very simple, maybe we need to repeat them.

39. S. (01:22:14) Is it okay to leave the ten if I see them all flawed?

R. No no no, I don’t want to get into all the conflict between you to quit, not quit, to leave, we’re going in one direction only, connection between us and with the Creator.

Reading Item 26 (01:22:42)

40. R. (01:24:00) Yes this is what is written.

Continues reading (01:24:04)

41. R. (01:24:33) I have to say that here from item 26 onwards he’s going deeper, he elaborates on the matter so in many cases I would finish the article here, it is enough to get what we learned before but let’s try. Maybe we will continue.

Continues reading (01:24:59)

42. R. (01:27:40) What can I tell you? This part is very very obtuse, it’s not clear what he wants to say, what he is he talking about. Why he suddenly takes us into the depth of the discussions between sages, all the precisions and all kinds of words, it is not clear to us for now. Fine, that too is good. You know that there are deep reasons for Baal HaSulam to write it in this way because he did not want to get into the resistance, the conflict. He didn’t want to get into a conflict with all kinds of people, Orthodox Jews and people of other religions too. This is why he went in this way, like taking a detour, going around, indirectly. But later we will learn what is happening here.

Reading Item #27 (01:29:17)

43. R. (01:34:09) So what is he trying to say in the end? If we observe love your friend as yourself we come to state of adhesion with a Creator and this is our reward. Okay?

44. S. () When I am in guarantee toward the society we have to concentrate on my intention more or in the success of a certain action in the society?

R. You need to come to a state where both of them are as one. The success of the society and your personal success will be as one success. Okay?

45. S. () The whole article we see that Israel know and understand what to do and would reward they will get love your friend there’s yourself and through that reach pistole and infusion with a Creator and then he agrees and they say we’re real and that is what we want to what extent do we in the ten is he’s real have to reach an understanding and actions end guarantee and understanding of what we want to attain eventually?

R. We advance toward the end of correction in degrees and in each and every degree you have all those things that condition agreeing to work and doing the work in each and every degree.

S. Should we scrutinize between us not just like we scrutinize what is the bestowal between us?

R. Yes you can talk about it.

46. S. () It is written the daily actions have to do with the sacrifices love of others how can you?

R. There are qualities that influences us according to our efforts changes our qualities and brings us to understand that if I do something for the sake of others it is as if I am doing it for the sake of the Creator and is if I invite this correcting the soul.

S. But they didn’t say anything about the Deeds for the others but even the corporeal work.

R. Yes yes if I do it for the sake of others it is like the holy work and if I do it for the sake of people it is the same as doing it for the sake of the Creator. Look at what is written look albums of years ago people already attained it voted and it isjew alive to this day and specifically today we have to come to the state where we implement it.

S. What is the stick for cheer that you supposedly hold the ten in your heart and love of others and you do an external action with it?

R. No it is not about external physical actions that you do it is about us having having to do such actions that will bring us closer internally then this whole world this whole world was also given only to bring closer internally into one vessel one desire.

47. S. () We learned that we have to do is we shall here… without understand it but here he talks about any ation and he has to describe exactly the work and the rewards so how exactly?

R. I don’t know you studying it, it’s your profession and you combine it. I’m not getting into this. I want to understand at least superficially what he is telling me. That is it, there is so many in the Torah has so many cases that if you start comparing them and combining them you will see where you are.

S. I am asking if a person if the work is presented to him precisely and what he has to receive and then he agrees or is the opposite he has to relinquish any understanding and just to do?

R. I have to be in the greatest connection possible every single moment.

48. S. (01:40:19) Is the Arvut the matter of personal approach or an approach toward the friend, or the general approach of the ten, how can we implement the Arvut?

R. By depicting to ourselves that the goal in a common place between us and only through a common approach between us can we come to that same place and receive the goal which is adhesion with the Creator; or in other words, it is attained through the love for the friends. And this is how in every single activity we have to do and assemble all these activities until we come to the general, inclusive action of the end of Correction. Okay friends we have no choice we have to move on to a different state.

49. S. (01:41:55) Can we say that the giving of the Torah is like giving us the group of Bnei Baruch?

R. Yes.

50. S. (01:42:10) What does it mean ‘connection according to the system of Adam’?

R. It is when all the parts of Adam HaRishon, it is a system, it’s not a person it’s a system, so each piece, each part in the system exists in each of us and they become reconnected as in one body.

S. What should be our attitude to the Kabbalists that were before us, do we need to feel that we have pressure from those Kabbalists?

R. No pressure, but we have to accept them as our teachers and realize what they advise us.

51. S. (01:42:58) If Israel are the ones whose dependency of their heart is the revelation of the upper force, why is their hatred towards Jews and corporeal Israel in the world?

R. Natural hatred, because the root of Israel is opposite from the root to receive in a person; this is why there is hatred, rejection, to the concept of Jews, the concept of Israel in every single person.

52. S. (01:43:29) What are the signs that we are coming closer to the connection between us?

R. By establishing ourselves more and more in the relationships between us and by learning we attain more and more of the inner meaning of the text, and in this way we come to realize the connection, and soon we will begin to feel spiritual phenomena in the connection between us.

53. S. (01:44:39) The connection between Israel is the tendency of an inner awakening toward spirituality; along with that we see that there is a group that doesn’t have an awakening and they are called Jews or Israel, and they suffer from hatred towards them. But if they do not have an awakening of such a point, why do they hate them?

R. Every spiritual root must hang down, must cascade and come and clothes in a corporeal branch, therefore the spiritual root that is called ‘Israel’ which comes to us from Adam HaRishon, from all of us, cascaded through the breaking, through all of those things and came to all of humanity as we learn in the breaking of the vessels, for example. In the system of the world of Nekudot the breaking, the shattering exists in everyone, in each and everyone there is a spark from a higher root but it depends on how much these roots are deep in a person’s ego or they are closer to being revealed and executed, carried out.

Therefore those people who felt a relation to their spiritual root, they manifested as the people who followed Abraham in Babylon. They discovered themselves, they discovered that what Abraham told them in Babylon was close to them and so they joined, they connected around it. And therefore they developed more and received more of the connection to the power of the bestowal to such an extent that they really, that many of them to different degrees or all of them of those who followed Abraham and so many of them attained spirituality. Meaning they achieved levels of ‘love your friend as yourself’ along with all the processes that we read in the Torah. As if they went to the land of Israel and to Egypt and back from Egypt through the tearing of the Red Sea, the dividing of the Red Sea and the reception of the Torah, and all of those things. We have to understand that all of those things actually talk about an internal process that happens in a group of people and along with it there were those who didn’t really grasp these things.

Just as today when we learn there are other people next to us and all kinds of circles who perceive what they perceive and don’t perceive what they don’t, it is a matter of souls that all comes from one point but afterwards through circles and circles and circles, expanding circles and distancing in circles until the outer circle, until the outermost circle doesn’t understand at all what it is about, this is what happens. So to this day, we are discovering it and there are people in whom that spiritual root, which actually exists in everyone, but it depends on what level, it awakens and in some it does not. Jews are those people who woke up back in ancient Babylon with Abraham and their descendants and those who joined them, and those of them who went out to the nations of the world, what we learn in history happens many times.

We see that to this day this mixture exists and today we are going into the last generation, when the upper light influences not only this group called Israel, whatever is left of it and if it exists at all, it is a question but rather those for whom it isn’t. So today what is important for us is who awakens, as it is written, “whomever is for the Lord let him come on to me”, so accordingly we need to approach corrections. Therefore, calculating who is Jewish and who is not Jewish, today it is in the process of the end of correction as Kabbalists write because we are in the last generation when everyone must achieve corrections.

So today there is no calculation of what group you are from, from the people of Israel or what nation of the world, because everyone must reach it and everyone in the end must reach it; and everyone in the end according to his awakening and according to how much he participates in the correction and the correction is the same for everyone, “love your friend as yourself” as much as you can. So go ahead, everyone is equal in this, no one has any preference, no one. Therefore, we are not making any calculations as you see in our groups because the process is a process of the end of correction, it has to happen in everyone and let us hope that it will happen soon. All of those calculations of to what nation or religion or race someone belongs, today in this world it is becoming revoked.

54. S. (01:51:36) The hatred and the hardships that the corporeal nation of Israel has endure, will these hardships afflict the students of Bnei Baruch if we do not advance in the fashion that we need to?

R. Each one of us is activated from above, from the Creator, from the system called Adam that has to resurrect and be revealed in our senses. That is why there is no connection here that was before or after but the connection especially depends on the person, himself, as much as he continues his correction towards the general correction, that is it, there aren’t any other calculations. You must bestow and awaken and advertise the method of Correction because according to that you correct the world, the souls and according to that, you cause your soul to uplift, that’s it.

55. S. (01:53:18) He says, “for all the Earth is mine”, he says “and you will be unto me a people of virtue Segula”. I want to ask about the transitions we go through between hatred and love: on the one hand we feel the hatred, the depth of the hatred, on the other hand the depth of the love, how can you feel both and be connected from it?

R. We need to understand that we are in such periods of start – stop, face and behind, the changing of the Reshimot in us and according to that we advance from one degree to the next, from one state to the next. The more we advance we will go through states that are opposite from one another, very sharp, more and more.

S. What does it mean in that regard to be ‘a virtuous nation’?

R. Segula comes from the word [Hebrew word ‘three lines’] it means ‘three lines’, Segula. It’s that the people who want or group that wants to connect themselves according to the upper laws of the system of Adam HaRishon, that it will be revealed in them in wholeness.

Item 28 (01:55:00) ‘Now we fully understand the previous words, for he says….”

56. R. (01:55:54) That means that you cannot turn to all of humanity at once but just some group you can turn to them and present it to them and give them the method of correction because they are already somewhat prepared to receive it.

Reader Continues (01:56:16) “For this reason he ends for all the Earth is mine…”

57. R. (01:58:01) So there are questions here and we will have to scrutinize them.

Item 29: (01:58:10) “Now we can fully understand that concerning the form….

58. S. (01:59:40) Meaning that revelation should be gradual to each group in each level in humanity according to their development and that is the way it was accepted to begin with.

Reader Continues: (01:59:57) “Regarding the reward that is defined in the.…”

59. R. (02:01:38) Yes, to go exactly according to” love your friend as yourself”. Actually that is the direction of this. Also the nation of priests and the holy nation it is all implemented correctly and towards the right goal. I see that there are no more questions. It is a sign that we cannot go deeper into this article for now.

60. S. (02:02:14) This whole thing that we have been learning to “love your friend as yourself. Can you translate what ‘love your friend as yourself’ means and can we even come to such concepts in this world?

R. The answer is simple. You cannot reach it. “love your friend as yourself” in this world as you’re saying, but love your friend as yourself is a condition that is clarified on the degrees that we rise above our ego 125 degrees until we ascend to the existence of unconditional love, whole love with the Creator. Those degrees are actually that each and every time the ego in man is revealed more and we turn it in order to bestow and more ego arises and more in order to bestow and in this way until we finish all the eagle that the Creator created and the beginning to begin with and turn it into love.

S. In other words until we have attainment like real Kabbalists, we could not even use this concept as he Torah writes, the whole Torah is based on it

R. You get attainmen to the extent that you will work with your will to receive.

S. So we shouldn’t fantasize?

R. It is not that you are suddenly given attainment and then it is taken away. If you work with your will to receive which is complex and in order to bestow that you want to turn it this way or that way and scrutinize it then you reach a state that you start attaining the essence of your will to receive and the light that works in it and all of these things for you they start being more and more and more clear. That is called attaining.

S. In other words, let us put it this way to try to love one another, even in our tens there is no connection between things. You do good, you’re a good guy, you’re doing good things for the friends, you are trying to annul before them. This is not loving your friend is yourself so we cannot attain it as he said.

R. I understand you, but it is not right. In every detail that happens in us we scrutinize and in a mutual tenancy between us. Scrutiny towards” love your friend as yourself’ just now. we are still scrutinizing them corporeally. We still do not go into the spiritual world, the difference is as much as we want to truly be in bestowal. The moment I decide that I want to be in bestowal, I go from working in this world to working in the spiritual world that is how it is called. What is the difference between these two worlds? It is as much as I try to be in love towards the friends above my ego. That is called spirituality, try and do that and you will feel that you uplift above your ego and that is called ‘ that you rise above this world.

S. How do you explain the day to-day work between the friends?

R. According to that you should scrutinize and organize the work between the friends.

S. Thank you very much.

61. S. (02:06:31) We learned that the spiritual pleasure is much greater and higher than the corporeal pleasure. What is special about this pleasure that promotes us?

R. It is just greater, also by me needing to annul my ego, to relinquish something. Also by me being able to receive spiritual pleasure and not take it but pass it on to others in order to bestow,it is just greater. For now, we will not bring any other discernments into it. If I can inverti myself in using some pleasure in some instances in my life truly for the others, that is called that I am working in order to bestow. We have to do such exercises for each and every group. Then by that we will advance to a state that we will know and understand our abilities and get forces from above in order to do them. For now, let us start simple. To be in mutual bestowal towards one another and if we are lacking forces or desires to bestow, we will ask the Creator to give it to us. We will just demand it from him, with that I’m allowed to come with him and demand and ask.

S. Why did the priest not have such yearning for corporeality but I feel that I do have these yearnings for material things as well?

R. That all depends on as much as you value or importance as much as spirituality for you is greater than corporeality that is it, so you can reach a degree that you will be a Kohen, a priest. That means that you have reached a state that the upper light bestows upon him, to such an extent,that he can deal with all of his desires to this world with everything, we will say that. Then he is called Kohen ,not that he was born that way, but that he reached a degree called Kohen.

62. S. (02:09:28) How do the sparks of purification pass from those who studied Kabbalah to the rest of the nations of the world?

R. Because we are in one system of Adam HaRishon, it influences everyone and except for that, we need to bestow upon everybody in a way that we disseminate, that we reach them in a planned, directed way, is that clear?

63. S. (02:10:10) You said we have to try to get pleasure for the sake of others in our groups, for the sake of the friends, how do we do it?

R. I do not know about that, you speak about it between you and if you have questions, I am willing to answer.

64. S. (02:10:34) You explained before about ‘the holy nation’ but now you’re starting to explain about ‘the priests’ but you did not really tell us what that ‘kingdom of priests’ is, what is the work of priests? Because a lot is written about it, ‘the work of the priest’, it is a whole world, it is not just those who choose bestowal, what is this ‘kingdom of priests’?

R. It is those that are in the actions of bestowal actually unique, pure, they are called ‘priests’, there is no other difference between man and man. The Torah does not go through inheritance, the fact that your father was a Kohen, a priest, you do not become one. We are speaking about spirituality in man. If you attain a special degree, that is what you are called.

S. Okay, I’m not a Kohen, I wasn’t born a Kohen, a priest. But in the Torah many things are written about what the priests do, there are many works of the priests, what are these works?

R. When you reach the degree of bestowal called Kohen, then you will discover there are all the possibilities to bestow and that is called ‘the work on the Kohanim’, of the priests, that’s it. There’s ‘the work of the Levi’s’, the work of Israel, the work of each and every one, that’s how it is. All in all we are speaking about something very simple, the implementation of’ love your friend as yourself’ in all kinds of levels and possibilities, so succeed.

65. S. (02:12:32) From item 26 to the end of the article Baal HaSulam basically explains in a very indirect way that these are not all kinds of rituals and ceremonies but that the work and reward are both in loving your friend as yourself?

R. Yes, he simply wants to explain this to scholars. That everything that they learn is still all included under the condition of ‘love your friend as yourself’ and that is what we are doing. You can say it in a different way. You can say it in words that are distant from this, instead of love or something. We need to discover a place to reveal to the Creator to build a place for the Creator to be revealed. How do you build that? From the connection between people. What do you build that plays from? From desires from people that are willing to connect and then from their desires that are willing to connect you build a place because the Creator is called a place that he can be revealed there.

66. S. (02:14:08 ) It says Moses was the most trusted in the house. What are these different levels of trust one receives from the Creator?

R. That he reached the degree of faith of Bina on a whole and complete way. That is it. That is why he is called his faithful servant that he acquired the quality of Bina which is whole and by that he is willing to reach the Keter. After that he attained wisdom and obtains Keter. That is it that is called faithful of his home. That in every desire to receive that can be revealed he has a restriction, a screen and reflected light and only and the desire to bestow.

67. S. (02:15:15) It seems like the article speaks from the perspective that desires the vessels but if we read this article alone, with what desire or yearning do I turn through this article?

R. I want to receive from this article the right guidance, how I relate to everything that is talked about in this article: the nations, Israel, work of man, each and every thing that we have gone through in this article, that is what I am studying. I want to format myself, to organize myself in mind and in heart, mind and heart in the way that as much as Baal HaSulam says that by that I will be filled, and that is what I am expecting from the lesson or I study alone. I learned that in all kinds of cases and instances, I gave out an article to a few parts, I separated an article into a few parts, next to every part I wrote something that I thought was written ‘where’s this written, where’s that written, like research.

But really the best is if I try to implement it in the friends because all in all there is where I get discernments and scrutinizes and it will be more important for me then thousands of words, even by Baal HaSulam because it will be my Torah. That is why I recommend to try and implement this article as much as you can absorb it, because it is very complex, we still do not understand how much. So try and organize it in us in the group. I’m happy we finished it because also now we are going into the period of reception of the Torah, Shavuot the holiday, and we will end with this and from tomorrow, we are going to start a new topic and what we will have today, that’s still before us. We have info.

INFO: (02:18:30) Hello to all of the friends, we have come to Sunday, we have been waiting for this Unity event for a long time about 1,500 friends will come to the center in Petach Tivka, the gathering will begin at 6 p.m. Israel time in the Arvut system and here at the center of Petah Tikva. We are going to gather on the roof and of course on the Arvut system between 6 and 7 p.m. Israel Time and between 7pm and 9pm, we will have a festive meal and the whole event will be very warm and bonding. We are waiting for everyone with great excitement right away.

INFO: Yes we are very excited, we want to tell you a little bit of what we are going to have this evening, not things that we don’t know but all of the good things that we know and like to do. We’ll sit together in a festive meal, we’re going to speak in Workshops, songs, speakers. We’ll hear from friends from the Israeli Kli, from the world, we’re going to have a true party of connection.

68. S. (02:19:53) I want to ask you, we have a few hours before this Gathering, how to reach this in the best way to this incorporation?

R. Yes, we are coming to this evening, to this connection, to this meeting in a way that we are ready for connection. That we want this connection to help us ascend spiritually, to really receive the Torah, who’s light reforms, and this is why we are coming. We are coming into this meeting, it does not matter if we come physically or virtually, those who can. There are some people who are at this time working even though today is Sunday, or they are busy, I do not know but there is still a possibility for everyone. So try to connect to us and be together with us and as much as we unite it is all our gain, I have nothing to say. We need to bring our desire for connection, for correction and that in the connection between us we will receive another part of the Torah, of the upper light to the extent that we get close between us accordingly the Creator can come between us and fill our hearts and we will begin to feel the upper reality that does not depend on our flesh and this is how we will advance, that’s it.

S. We learned the whole week the article of the Arvut and we read about the importance of our mutual, inner connection. How to reach, how to come correctly in order to implement in this meeting?

R. When I understand that reception of the Torah can only be through connection between us as we read that after we are ready in ‘we will do and we will hear’, we are ready for mutual responsibility and we connect among us to some extent, it is not like we are at the end of Correction already but to a certain extent. And then in that connection between us we do receive what the Creator wants to reveal to us and this is what we will have.

S. We are a week before Shavuot, the holiday, and in Shavuot used to bring offerings to Jerusalem, what should each one bring?

R. The offering means what I can and want to contribute from the bottom of my heart, contribute to building our common vessel called the [Hebrew for ‘Holy House Temple’] ‘Holy House’, aTemple, so it’s a house, a vessel, and to make it one of holiness, Kedusha, so I need to bring it to what I can, everything I can to bring it to this vessel. And then out of these offerings of ours we will have a vessel with an intention to bestow so that we can truly receive the revelation of the Creator and by this bring Him contentment.

S. Thank you, Rav. We will remind you again friends: today at 6 p.m., we will gather here or in the Arvut and we will build that vessel together.

R. Do you want to say something?

S. I wanted to ask, I have another scrutiny about this evening. I’m really expecting it and I know and we have heard, we saw from the past that it can be such a springboard that really helps us rise to a new degree in our spiritual development of the whole vessel. One of the things in the evening is that we are going to be in a mutual incorporation, not in our original tens.

R. Yes.

S. So how do we relate to this, what should be the attitude for this form that we are mixed between us, how to depict the Arvut correctly?

R. I do not think we need to sit according to tens, it will cause separation, we need to disperse, every ten should be dispersed among all the other tens and in this way we will have a correct, common vessel because in a spiritual connection, the way the Sefirot connect, we all see that there are such laws there that, well it is like in mathematics, to the power of this and this and this and that, it gives you a greater and greater power of the vessel. So sitting, we should sit not necessarily with friends or people close to you etc. because we all want to be incorporated and precisely by being with people that I do not really know, by this I can express my relation to connection more. It is difficult for me but precisely by this I feel how much we are trying to connect among us, this is why it is not necessary to sit together, I’m not saying you should run away from your group but look, be free. I would say this: you should not choose at all where you are sitting, you shouldn’t,but wherever you happen to sit, it is called ‘wherever the Creator makes a place for you’.

S. Yes, we just want to strengthen your words and say that we are asking everyone to sit in a mixed tens, do not sit in your regular ten; on the contrary we want to enjoy this incorporation, also here at Petach Tivka and also in the Arvut system, we heard him on the spiritual benefit of this.
