External scientific development caused and continues to cause harm to humanity, poisoning us with medicines, producing food that is harmful to our health, and through the media. Science began to work against people. But it is unclear why there is a ban on studying the wisdom of Kabbalah?

The fact is that after the destruction of the temple, the nation of Israel went into exile in order to integrate with the rest of the nations and “to connect the souls of the gentiles to them.” And the feeling of the exile had to be real. This means that the problem wasn’t the revelation of the wisdom of Kabbalah to the nations of the world, but that it not be revealed to the nation of Israel. It was specifically towards the nation of Israel that there was concealment of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

If Kabbalah had been revealed, then Israel wouldn’t have felt itself in exile. They would have understood that the exile was essential and they had to go through it and to suffer. They wouldn’t have felt helpless. The concealment had to be so great that people forgot everything.

It’s interesting that when the King of Spain issued an order to expel the Jews, they arrived at the palace of the king with the request to leave and offered generous payment for it. But the chief inquisitor, who was a Jew himself, got involved and didn’t allow the King to accept the ransom. Then Queen Isabella, who was present, told the Jews, “Don’t you understand that the hearts of kings are in the hands of the Lord! It is not we who are deporting you, but it comes from above, from the Creator.“

She had to explain it to them because they didn’t understand. This is called “exile,” when such darkness comes that a person loses all spiritual feeling and sinks within total darkness. It is said that Baal Shem Tov would go through such huge descents that he would even not recognize letters.

We had to go through all the stages of exile and separation from spirituality, and thus the Kabbalists concealed the internal Torah and left only the external. The external corporeal tradition have been preserved and passed on from generation to generation. The descent of the generations was only in internality and gradually they reached the state that the inner Torah was almost forgotten by the people of Israel, that is, the descent reached a complete zero. Baal HaSulam writes that in our generation there are Kabbalists. Where do we see them? We are left only with the external tradition, and the attainment of the internality has disappeared. This means that we have reached the end of the generations.

In the future, the world will recognize the evil spirit into which it is sinking, humanity will discover that it has no means for correcting the situation, and the nations of the world will also feel in their subconscious that the people of Israel have a solution. From here is the inner drive to boycott and the desire to blame us for all of their problems.

The basis for this is latent in every person, in every people, in every organization, and in every nation. It is impossible to deceive ourselves about the illusion of the dark period that must be passed through on the way to brighter times. As it continues, it will only get worse. I have been talking already about this for many years. The world is sinking into a general crisis that encompasses education, culture, the economy, and politics, and now we are standing on the threshold of tremendous and incessant pressure from all sides. We feel ourselves as a fortress that is under siege, and our only weapon is unity.

This is possible by means of the Kabbalistic method that teaches us how to connect with each other in tens, in hundreds, in thousands, and in millions. All of the people of Israel must go through this integral or Kabbalistic study. It is not that important what we call it. At the time of our formation and coming into existence, we obligated ourselves to be as one person with one heart. If we consolidate this way between us, all the higher forces that manage us immediately will begin to soften and mollify, and we will feel changes without pause.

Let’s begin to unite in circles in the right way and then immediately in our relationships within the nation, in our relationships with our neighbors, including Hamas and the like, and in the relationships with all the nations of the world that all will begin to soften. So, it seems obvious what kind of a weapon we have in our hands. It is not deadly, but good. It brings life. It is a weapon for the struggle with our egoism, with our nature, and not with people.

So, I turn to the people of Israel. Let us accept the approaching stages with an understanding that they are designed to awaken us to the right development, to unity. If we would begin to realize it until reaching “Love your neighbor as yourself,” then immediately what has been attained between us would spread all over the world through underground connections unseen by the eye, through which we are connected with each other, and the good results of our efforts will not be late in being discovered.

Question: How can we logically explain to people that connection is the single solution to all problems?

Answer: Clearly, unity between people gives them strength. On this principle the army, political parties, or any other organization is built. A few people that unite together receive strength, especially nowadays.

Even in the days of slavery, the association of the slaves was feared. Every country is afraid arising associations. If more than a hundred people connect, immediately they are checked to see what is happening there, what they are doing, and what their plans are. It is necessary for the public security.

But by connection between us, if it is the correct connection, we begin to feel that there is some source of force, mind, a new feeling. We need to make an effort to feel it ourselves, but we are neglecting it. If I don’t receive awakening from the center of the group, a lifting of spirit, a feeling of warmth, love, an increase of the feeling of feeling and mind, then I am not connected to it.

Just as I need to eat something every few hours, so I need to feel the appetite and hunger to come to the group and receive nourishment from it. I don’t have to come physically to the group, but I must feel its center, from which from I yearn to fulfill myself.

If you still don’t see and feel what the profit is from the connection, it’s a sign that you still have to work on it. Even the greatest Kabbalist cannot exit himself if he retreats to some hidden place. He must be connected with at least a few students equal to or greater than him so that inside the connection he will find feeling and mind from a higher degree.

Every time he will progress like that, otherwise he will not have life. He will stop in place and die because life must renew all the time.

Therefore, when we come to people and help them connect, we need to teach them how to reveal the source of live water in order to be able to drink from it, from the center of connection between them. As a result of that, they will receive the spirit of life. They will start to feel that they lack it, like a little child that suddenly needs his mother, runs and clings to her, and then again he runs back to his games. Like that we need to show people the source of life.

You should feel at the time of the workshop and different actions that in the connection between you there is a new inner excitement, a sharper feeling of joy, and deeper meaning that makes it possible to reach a new clarification of the current state and the next state that is suddenly revealed.

If at a time of connection with friends such a special feeling is not awakened, it’s a sign that you did not reach any connection. We have to reveal it in ourselves and to teach others, because in it is the source for joy, liveliness, the force of life, and for us it’s also a source for clarification, because only feelings are not enough for us, we also want to clarify these states and participate in them consciously “to awaken the dawn” ourselves.

Therefore, this spring that we reveal in the center of the group is the source of force for spiritual progress. And for the people, it is the source of confidence, pleasant feeling, more correct observation toward the attitude inside the family, children, education, etc., meaning the source of their lives.

This is a very special point. I must find the source of force, the source of life, the source of mind and energy for myself, and suddenly I see that the way becomes clearer and my state stabilizes in the correct direction. I acquire strength and stability. All of this I receive from the center of the group.

Let Us Understand Our Purpose and Our Duty, and Accomplish It

First of all, we must explain to the Jewish people that the boycott at this stage is only the beginning of the pressure, both corporeal and spiritual, that awaits us. Ahead are much more severe situations as described by the prophets of Israel, and all of this, then, is to oblige us to take correct action as the people of Israel living in their own land and to set a good example to the world.

Then we will understand that anti-Semitism is only there so that the people of Israel would take upon themselves the mission to achieve brotherly love and show everyone how to apply the method of unity through the Light that Reforms.

After all, no one else has this method and cannot have it. The Light that Reforms goes out to the world only through the people of Israel. That is why this nation is called a “kingdom of priests” and “a holy nation.” When the nations of the world accept the basics of unity from us, the first spiritual quantum of Light, their attitude toward us will immediately, diametrically change. As the prophet Isaiah said, they will carry the sons of Israel on their shoulders and bring them to the temple in Jerusalem.

Only, it will take a decision—when we will provide a true example of unity that our world needs so much? In today’s global and integral reality, we cannot survive if we do not unite with each other in an equal society with entirely good relationships. In such a society, people become related to each other, help each other, and maintain relations of friendship and love.

How do we achieve this in a world that is opposed to such aspirations? This work isn’t up to us, but to the Upper Light.

Question: Was the great Kabbalist Baal HaSulam far ahead of his time when he wrote the article, “The Last Generation,” in the beginning of the 20^th century about humanity inevitably achieving a communistic society?

Answer: A Kabbalist isn’t ahead of his time. Rather, he sees everything from end to end. For him time doesn’t exist! He simply rises to the next level from which it is possible to understand what is happening with us. Actually, the wisdom of Kabbalah makes it possible for us to rise to a higher level where we clearly see that we need to re-educate ourselves, how to do it, and what we must reach. It accurately teaches by which path it is possible to reach the goal so that we will work correctly on ourselves.

Question: In the article, “The Last Generation,” Baal HaSulam prepared an answer for all questions. It is left to us to research this article and realize it together. We hope that this will help us to find the answer to the question, “What can we expect?”

Answer: What is waiting for us is what we choose. People must understand the necessity of developing a mutual connection, which increases the sensitivity of a person to his environment, and become like the general system about which the wisdom of Kabbalah speaks. Even if a person doesn’t see this system, with the help of special training and special exercises called roundtables or discussion circles, he can feel that this reveals a new positive force on the levels of the still, vegetative, and animate.

In nature, plus and minus are balanced, so all of its objects act instinctively, accommodating to the influence of nature while in a human being there is only one negative force. So, he needs to discover the positive force of nature, balance the negative force through it, and go forward in the balance and harmony of the middle line. Then, he is called Adam (Man), while, now, he is on the level of the beast.

Question: Do we see that there was a need for the way of suffering only so that toward the end of the 20^th century humanity would say, “We have reached a blind alley, there is nothing left to investigate?”

Answer: Humanity doesn’t even look at its history. Now it simply gathers sensations and emotions that lead it to the understanding that it is impossible to advance further this way.

We have become locked in and have begun to perceive each other as ourselves. What happens in South America, Australia, Asia, or Africa, all of this exists within me. Each one of us sees on what is happening at the other end of the world television. Each one of us has become a man of the world. We are beginning to feel ourselves as one large and closed society in which we are completely dependent on one another.

Imagine if a nuclear accident occurred at some nuclear power plant or a nuclear submarine exploded somewhere or some deadly virus spread, it would be bad for everyone. One incident like this would be enough, and everything would begin to die. Today, we depend on each other so much that, against our will, we are becoming linked as one family.

How can we make people understand their dependence on everyone else so that they can rise to the level of a single family?  After all, it is impossible to solve this through war?

We have a a situation in the world, like in a family, where the couple hasn’t loved each other for many years. They consider each other as strangers, and because of their egos, they don’t want to forgive, to indulge, to provide for and serve each other. As a result of this, they divorce. That is the way 50% to 60% of the population behaves. But they cannot get divorced! Give us another Earth so that all of those who are dissatisfied would go and live there. Impossible! This means that the only thing that is left to do is to educate people.

This is precisely what the wisdom of Kabbalah was talking about thousands of years ago, “Wait! A time like this will come, and in the meantime I am hiding myself from you.” That is how it quietly ducked down and concealed itself, and now it is beginning to emerge and assert itself, “Here is the method for you with whose help you can attain the right and perfect state for yourself without wars.”

The wisdom of Kabbalah spoke about this for all these thousands of years, only it could not be revealed to people, just like you can’t give an atomic bomb. Everything must be in its time, and now the time has come.

We know how much suffering people who were involved with the dissemination of the wisdom of Kabbalah went through since the time that the method of the Ari began to be introduced in this world. And this is not because of someone’s evil will but because we exist in a broken system.

And the moment that you begin to go out with your spiritual idea that is directed towards connection between people, you immediately put yourself under fire from all directions.

Someone who was neutral and even supported you also comes out against you. After all, you are arousing anti-egoistic forces and egoism is the nature of the whole world. So we see that there aren’t any people in whom anti-Semitism isn’t hiding, after all, it comes from nature. It is possible to ignite the fire of this hatred in everyone.

Correspondingly, anyone who hears about the wisdom of Kabbalah hates it because he is in the nature of the broken desires. And if he is attracted to the wisdom of Kabbalah, it is only out of curiosity. But in fact, he hates it, and to the degree that he gets closer to it, he hates it more and more, until he abandons it.

There has to be great help from above and work in this world, so that together they will influence a person, and he will cross the potential Machsom (barrier) standing before him, leap above it, and rise to his first spiritual level.

We know how the first Hasidim suffered; they were arrested and put in prison in Russia and in the Ukraine. Against them was the Mitnagdim (the movement against Hasidism). Those religious Jews hated the Hassids who wanted to disseminate the wisdom of Kabbalah so much that they made efforts to imprison them and condemn them to death. The fire of hatred burn in the religious Jews regarding those who tried to open the wisdom of Kabbalah and spoke about connecting people and revealing the hearts that this hatred is felt to this day, even though modern Hassidism is no longer the ideology it once was, and therefore, there is not as much opposition to it.

We know how much Baal HaSulam suffered. When he published the newspaper, The Nation it was immediately shut it down. He planned to write 50 articles continuing with “Matan Torah (The Giving of the Torah),” “The Arvut (Mutual Guarantee),” and “Peace in the World.” But instead of 50 articles, he only published four as he was forced to stop because the newspaper was shut down. He said: “If so, then the generation is not ready for this, and there is nobody to write for!” How many new ideas would we have gotten if he hadn’t stopped?

Even during my life with Rabash I saw how much it was difficult to be involved with studying Kabbalah. Today there are many such groups, and if you sit in your corner and don’t go out, everything is okay, there will not be opposition. But the moment that you go out, you will get blows. Like the Jews who lived in exile in the closed ghettos, the Kabbalists lived among the Jews.

But the time has come when we must come out of hiding not for the sake of some abstract idea, but because the correction in our generation is possible only with the inclusion of masses of people. The connection between them is the only condition necessary for revelation. It follows that if I don’t connect to others, I don’t create the conditions, the means, the basis, the bearer in which the Light can be revealed.

And then all of my studying would be in vain; it would bring no added value that would allow me to realize myself and truly merit the discovery of the Light, the revelation of the Creator, raising myself to the first spiritual level. This is possible only if thousands more will connect with this. Even though the power of each is minimal, together they are strong in quantity that works together with the qualitative force that worked in previous generations.

And so we have received the opportunity to fill the desire that is burning in us. It burns a bit in each one, like a thin candle. But if we connect many candles together, a gigantic blaze is created that is prepared to illuminate with spiritual Light.

(Continued from the “Revolution Of The 21^st Century: Rich Man, Poor Man”)

Having engaged the people, the integral methodology will, in fact, lead to reducing the gap between the rich and poor; it will  become acceptable and no one will see it as unbearable. The familiar feeling as if the rich rob us will disappear.

As part of the new relationship, without any negative incentives, the rich themselves will be willing to share more than you can imagine today. Their contribution to society will be enormous.

We are talking about successful people who, under the new conditions, will be able to manage society correctly and integrally including the interests of the weaker sections of the population. The poor are incapable of this. Only their children and grandchildren will be able to become good managers.

Thus, in addition to social learning, nothing else will help. It’s either the one or the other. Gradually, the poor will realize that they need the skills and abilities of the rich, and the rich will realize that they must serve the poor. As a result, both parts of society will be imbued with unity and love, and confidence in the future.

There is no other solution.

For example, in Russia, the October Revolution completely destroyed the previous system down to the foundations, and the dire consequences of this are still being felt. You cannot put a housewife in the leadership of the country.

The same thing is happening in the Israeli Knesset: Some journalists become politicians and lawmakers. Moreover, he strives to become the Prime Minister. On what basis? Indeed, one, must first graduate from several universities, take special courses, and gain experience.

In the West, it is done in this way. Not everyone can be a good head of state or a minister or member of parliament. However, here eloquence replaces true qualifications.

In the News (golos-ameriki): “Turn on the TV and see one problem after another, an endless number of problems. Fear, tension, depression. The feeling that everything has gone out of control. Maharishi used to say: ‘The negativity is like darkness.’ Darkness – is the absence of light, the darkness does not need to be fought. You just have to turn on the light. Turn on the light, and darkness will go away. If you are able to illuminate your inner field of feelings and perceptions with bright light, you can say that you are a different person. Light banishes negativity. And you do not need a very large number of ‘fireflies.’ It is enough for just one percent of the population to significantly expand the field of positive. The world is currently hanging in a dark cloud of negativity. It is necessary to make an enormous effort to disperse the cloud.”

My Comment: In principle, this is what we are doing. But I think 600,000 bearers of Light will be sufficient for the whole world to be entirely illuminated with Light. And to begin with, dozens are enough!

All the work until the generation of the Messiah is in self-annulment, although there are differences according to the destiny of each soul. In every generation there are high souls that have special missions.

This continues until we reach the time of the Messiah, which we are in today. The whole world becomes on soul, one family, and so we have to perform actions according to the time we live in.

This doesn’t mean that we have to sit and wait for the Messiah and hope for some miracle from Above. There are no miracles. There is only one miracle: the spark that awakens in a person. Everything else depends on one’s efforts and on his work, and there are no concessions here on the part of the upper system. Our mission is to draw the Light that Reforms unto ourselves and to correct the incorporation of all in all.

Today it is fulfilled by dissemination, using all the opportunities we have.  After all, it is the most real and practical action of correction that we can perform. This is the reason that we cannot escape this work. We should understand that all our study and all the systems we have built are all meant only to continue the dissemination of the method of correction and connection.

This is the major part of our work through which we will be rewarded with a corrected soul and will attain the form of Adam (Man). Then we will discover what the height of 600,000 souls that make that Malchut is. All the souls of Israel are included in Malchut of the world of Atzilut and rise with it to the height of GAR of Atzilut, called 600,000, ,which is 620 times greater, or the complete attainment from the minimal Light of Nefesh of Nefesh of Nefesh until the attainment of the complete Light of NRNHY.

This is our work, and the most important thing is not to forget that our mutual incorporation is the fulfillment of the correction. Its practical embodiment is the incorporation of the whole nation, as it says: “The Creator dwells among His people.” It is there that we find our corrections and the correction of our soul.

We must not forget that this requires continuous work and caring about people. There are different levels here: the still, vegetative, and animate nature and man, and even a poor beggar is as important as a prince. Those who are on the level of the whole nation have the power from their great mass of billions of people. On the level of the vegetative there are fewer parts, and there are even fewer on the animate level, while on the human level there are just a few.

Eventually we meet with the whole world, with all the people of all sorts that will later be clarified. We cannot identify them immediately. We see that people are ignited at first and then they cool off or that they follow the right path along a very thin line and then they suddenly divert and are attracted to an unknown direction.

We have to take care of everyone, like children, until they grow up. We must remember that it is actually thanks to this care that we correct ourselves and grow. We can attain the one soul only by dissemination; this is our mission.
