Nationality Results from the Soul’s Properties
Three questions I received on the notions of nationality and Israel
Question: If a person is physically born a Jew, does it mean that he will always reincarnate as a Jew?
My Answer: Yes, because his soul came from Babylon and took the path of correction, then ascended to the level of complete personal correction during the times of the Temple, and then fell from that level to the state of all the souls in this world, in order to spend 2,000 years together with them (and even worse off than them), while being in exile from spiritual life. Precisely this soul must ascend and help everyone else do the same – help all the souls attain the full correction.
Question: If the answer is yes, then is it because the nation of Israel was chosen to carry the plan of the Creator, and this would mean that all the other people will also continue being born with the same nationalities that they started with?
My Answer: Yes. However, we don’t know about the other ten tribes, where they are and who they are today. It’s possible that today they are several billion people – those who were on the spiritual level and fell from it during the times of the First Temple. We learn about this fall and its correction from the breaking of two Partzufim, DACHGAT and NHY, in the World of Nekudim, their common fall and then their common correction. See parts 6 and 7 of Talmud Eser Sefirot.
Question: What if a person converts to Judaism and works very hard trying to attain the Creator? Does he also become a part of the nation of Israel (physically and spiritually)?
My Answer: There is no such nation. These people are ancient Babylonians who began correcting themselves back then. The others, who continued developing egoistically, went on to develop from the 70 forces of Zeir Anpin of the World of Atzilut, and this is why they are called “nations” – and each one has its own form of egoism.
The former are called “Hebrews,” which comes from the word Ever, meaning “across” (across the Machsom), “Jids” – because they await the correction or the Mashiach, and Yehudi (Jew), which comes from the word Yehud, meaning union (with the Creator). This is what set them apart from their brothers, the other Babylonians. So one doesn’t just “convert to Judaism,” the way we see it in our world, but rather spiritual Judaism is when one corrects oneself to the level of the Creator, one attains the Creator through studying Kabbalah. Just like in ancient times, those who are the “nation of Israel” today are those who separated from the other Babylonians by starting to correct their egoism.
You should see the world as that same Babylonian civilization, a part of which temporarily corrected itself, and today everyone must become corrected and become like the Creator. There is no such thing as corporeal Judaism, just like there are no religions, faiths, and so on. All of these things are incorrectly, egoistically understood Kabbalah. Where did people even get such notions, even if they’re mistaken? They came up with them either because their soul hinted at them from within, or from the fall of Kabbalah to the egoistic level. Who were the ancient nations? They were pagans or believers like Romans and Greeks. Everything else came from the spiritual fall, in order to accelerate the development of the Babylonians and bring them to the necessity to become equal to the Creator.

Thank you, Rav Laitman and all the wonderful people at Bnei Baruch & all studying with BB!With respect to the world being seen as the same Bablylonian civilization in need of correction for attainment of equality with the Creator,and, with the understanding that the differences between many religions from each other and from Kabbalahist Truths are in need of correction,1) Is it possible/pre-ordained that my Kabbalah study group could/should be one with people from my religious tradition, following BB via AriOnline? 2) Is there a higher worldly rung of correction (among religious leaders with Bnei Baruch) that seek corrective, collective Truth? –Higher in worldly terms of organization: where we are bonding individuals, and the world religious/spiritual leaders are bonding organizations?Shalom!
I’ve abandoned a friend because he has something called anti social personality disorder. These people don’t feel regret, empathy or sympathy. They feel self entitled to everything that is not there own. They fake love and friendship and have no care for others safety. Could this be considered a gelem? There are many people with this disorder and sociopath disorder is 1 in ever 25. So my main question is: Will we have to find a way to cure this disorder as the planet decides to correct itself or will this disorder go away once we decide to correct ourselves?
