The Art of Dissemination

213Question: I have heard you say more than once that concealment is an invitation to revelation. How can we use this message in dissemination?

Answer: Concealment is a wonderful state because when a person feels that something is concealed from him, he begins to search and eventually turns to us. That is, concealment determines the stage of creation.

A dog on the street searches for something to find. But the human in us (not the animal) searches for its source. The highest form of searching is for my source: “Where am I from? Why am I here? What is my purpose?” Where do I come from and to what must should I return to?

Thus, our dissemination is in search of darkness and light, and this is what we must awaken in people. A person who approaches us does so with some kind of inquiry, and we must ignite the corresponding questions in them through our initial publications.

However, this should not be done directly but through an alternative approach that ultimately evokes questions about the purpose of or reason for creation, which they will then bring to us.

We need to present materials in such a way that they always spark the next question in a person. In other words, we should not attempt to paint the entire picture in one article. Doing so might leave them confused and unable to piece it all together into a coherent mosaic or correct vision. Instead, we should create something concise, a short article, note, or tweet that leaves them with a question.

We will answer that question, but the answer must also lead to the next question. This step-by-step progression, this way of working with students, is the most reasonable approach. But it is not easy; it is art.

Knowledge that Lasts Forever

963.4Comment: Every day, you record a significant amount of video and audio material.

My Response: I cannot do otherwise; I have to produce it. The task of organizing this material will fall to my students in the future. Even now, however, the material is gradually being structured, and forms various messages and programs.

I always aim to provide the most I can for the present moment. It is not possible to rush ahead since people would not be able to understand me. I do not create for “someday” or for things to remain unused; I share my work with those who are capable of applying it today. Tomorrow others will come and join today’s students, and the process will continue.

Although time is limited, ideally we would revisit all our materials each year, and adapt them to the new wave, the new state, and the new degree we have reached. But even if we do not revisit everything, the outcome is the same. People establish a foundation and over time are able to reinterpret earlier knowledge in light of their new understanding.

Question: Does that mean that this knowledge will be useful regardless?

Answer: Undoubtedly. Additionally, we are moving back toward an eternal, perfect spiritual system where every effort we contribute becomes a permanent part of it. In other words, what I produce today, even if no one in the world hears it, still enters this system, remains there, and is assimilated by humanity in this world.

It becomes a part of humanity’s collective knowledge, which makes it easier for future generations to connect with it.

Get Information Out Into the World

961.2Question: Is it important that you give out some new pieces of information every day?

Answer: Yes, my teacher, Rabash, often spoke to me about this. He would look at me with a detached, unfocused gaze, and just talk and talk because he needed to speak out to someone.

Speak out! So that this information would remain hanging in the air, passed through someone (whether understood or not, it didn’t matter), enter the world, and exist within it. Later, people will be drawn to it, discover it, and it will be easier for them to reveal it.

Question: So is it essential to verbalize this information?

Answer: Verbalizing means a great deal. That is why we are called “speaking beings” (Medaber). This is our level; it is what distinguishes us from animals.

Comment: But we are talking about this on a physical level.

My Response: It does not matter. You express information from within yourself. Speaking means building semantic blocks within.

Question: What if someone simply talks to themselves? Does the information have to pass through someone else?

Answer: Preferably it is through someone else. For example, for Baal HaSulam transmitting information through others was not enough; he would write and then burn material. It did not matter anymore because the information had already entered the world, resonated, fulfilled its role, and from then on, the world continued to exist with it.

Spiritual information is not physical. It is not something you need to receive, compress, package, extract, or process. No, it operates on entirely different carriers.

What Do We Need to Convey to the World?

254.01In our time, spreading Kabbalistic knowledge has become the greatest and most important condition. The Creator is waiting for the correction of the entire Kli, absolutely all of it.

And only to the extent that you strive to give to others, to draw others closer, can you say that you are working for bestowal. All your other actions, aside from dissemination, are still egoistic, no matter how you look at it.

We engage in dissemination solely to tell people that they must unite.

For the people, unity means a better, safer, more pleasant life. But for us, unity means bringing the shattered parts of the common Kli closer to the Creator. To the extent of mechanical unity, the upper light impacts them and thus helps them unite even more.

For the people, this does not matter. What matters to them is that it guarantees their good future. That is what we need to convey to the world. Today, the world desperately needs unity! The global world is completely divided and fractured. It is a terrible state!

I will tell you only one thing: you are currently underestimating this, but the descents, ascents, and the time each of them takes all depend only on the intensity of our outreach to the public, the masses.

The Relationship between the Disclosure of Material and Its Transmission

219.01Question: How is the ability to disclose the materials we are studying connected to the ability to pass it on?

Answer: The ability to disclose the material comes to a Kabbalist when he has students who are willing to receive from him.

If there are no such students… There have been times when Kabbalists lived without passing on their knowledge to anyone. That is very difficult.

Question: We are currently in a stage of preparation for a convention and are working toward revealing some new quality or degree within us, such as Lishma. Is this connected to what we convey to others or only to our internal work?

Answer: Certainly these things are necessarily related because the wisdom of Kabbalah comes from the word “transmission.” When people from the beginning of creation to its end have passed on to each other everything that they can reveal in a given period of history, then it happens.

How Can You Awaken Yourself?

938.04If emotions burn out and disappear, it means that you are not integrated in the group, and you are not reading Shamati. Something is happening to you, and you are disconnected.

Sometimes a person goes through such states that he is as if dead, and nothing changes. These states need to be shortened somehow, by being physically present in the group, by physically doing something, and most importantly, by physically engaging in dissemination: “If I cannot do anything else, I will go and convince other people. I cannot convince myself, but I can convince others.”

When you use your egoism to convince others that Kabbalah is good, you are thereby convincing yourself.

And one more thing: teach students, those who are ready to listen. Act. This is the best way out of all problems.

You rise depending on how much your students gain from you because by this you expand your soul, and they are connected to you. You will see how you gather around yourself, not strangers, but the parts of your soul. If they respond to you, then you will feel that they are the closest to you in the structure of the soul. And then move forward.

The Descent of the Upper Abundance

214For this reason, when Israel engage in acts of bestowal, there is a decline to the nations of the world, whose root is only reception of pleasure for themselves (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 371, “ A Ladder Set on the Earth”).

Question: What is the benefit for the nations of the world?

Answer: That all nations become closer to each other, understand each other better, strive for unity, and can also attain the Creator.

Question: How can I test myself in relation to the state of the world?

Answer: Simply wish for it to happen. That is all.

Question: There are two to three million students in our world group. Can we turn eight billion people toward the light?

Answer: Of course we can. I am sure that we will succeed; otherwise, I would not waste time on this.

The Sequence of Unification

942Question: Is there any specific order to our connection in the tens? Should we first pray for the ten and then for the world Kli?

Answer: Currently we are not yet a Partzuf with a Rosh, Toch, Sof, ten Sefirot, and surrounding circles of light. We are merely a point around which concentric circles of light radiate.

This point does not yet influence the concentric circles. However, when it transforms into a Partzuf and begins to receive light into itself, then it will affect the surrounding light with its inner light.

Since the Kli is inherently common and includes all souls, even the inanimate, vegetative, and animate parts of creation, the question arises: how should we approach dissemination and in what order?

First and foremost dissemination should be directed toward the Jewish people, as they were once united.

Next, it should extend to the nations of the world, in accordance with their proximity to the process. Gradually, this influence should expand further and further.

For example, if you live in Germany, all German-speaking groups represent the primary field you can influence. Today, however, the Internet makes the entire world accessible to everyone.

Nevertheless, it is essential to consider the readiness of different civilizations. Europe and America are the closest to correction. Other parts of the world are currently more distant from the correct striving toward unity and bestowal.

Care for the World

254.02We need to tell people about the causes of the multifaceted, multilateral global crises: political, economic, spiritual, moral, climatic, etc. because it is practically one crisis.

We must explain to everyone what state we are in. Until there was a global crisis, we were silent. We spoke about ecology and economics and how they were heading toward collapse, but these were empty conversations. Now that we see with our own eyes what is happening in the world, in society, in everything, and everywhere, it has become easier for us to explain this.

We, as the last generation, as representatives of the Creator, can truly do everything possible for people to understand this.

Each of you is unique in that you have received such a desire, aspiration, and connection with the next level of humanity, to which it has yet to ascend. You already have some kind of contact with this level; therefore, you must explain how to master it, how to transition to the next level, and what to do with it.

This is your mandatory mission. This is why you are living. You do not exist for yourself. And thank God, we understand that a person cannot exist for his own sake; after all, the upper world is entirely about bestowal.

Therefore you should constantly use every opportunity to post your notes and articles, to reprint what we write, and to adapt it to the reader you are addressing. This is permanent, mandatory work, and there can be no excuses here. You have no idea how this benefits you.

You will feel that your mind and feelings, your heart and head, will open up as a result of your care for the correction of the world. After all, we are like a guiding group, like a head. By itself it cannot exist if the body does not exist. Therefore we must think about how to disseminate.

Dissemination for Everyone

560Question: Should we engage in dissemination for elderly people?

Answer: An elderly person is still a part of the global soul! What difference does it make that they are elderly?! The important thing is that they can hear.

Let us say they have five years left to live, these are incredibly significant years! They will think about it because physical death is approaching and possibly some kind of connection with an eternal state.

The elderly are more fertile ground than the youth. Do not neglect them.
