All our correction is in order to reach the connection of all the shattered vessels. Then we will correct the general vessel. This connection should be perfect, special, and diversified. We aren’t just putting together a puzzle, a two dimensional picture.

After all, we understand from the shattering that the vessels were incorporated in each other, and there isn’t one shattered part that doesn’t include all the other vessels. Therefore, every part is separated from the whole since it has lost the natural ability to be with others. This is the broken part in it. Now with the help of the upper Light, it should acquire this ability by itself.

In the past I knew I was connected to several parts around me, just like in an ordinary puzzle. I had to get along only with those who were next to me, and this promised everything that is good to our “area.”

But now everything is different, now I am included in everyone. This means that I have to take part in the connection among everyone, in the connection between every two different parts. Just think what a mechanism we are talking about: All its parts are integrally connected among them, in all their diversity, in all the sections, in every direction. We cannot imagine yet how such a thing is possible.

In order to be able to start this assembly which includes measurements, an emotional perception, and mutual participation in hundreds of billions of options; this idea is presented to us in the form of the law of mutual guarantee, which we have to keep even on the lowest level. In fact; for a start, I don’t have to keep in touch with all the other parts, which are not really seven billion but an infinite amount, since everyone is included in everyone and since every connection to someone else immediately turns into the world of Ein Sof (Infinity).

The law of mutual guarantee, the format in which Kabbalists bring us the method of connection, is a simple method that can be easily fulfilled, and which enables us to carry out simple gradual actions on our way to correction without being confused. Today we cannot deal with our internal “mechanism,” which we will reach later on, according to the principle of “from Your actions we shall know You.” Instead we are dealing with accessible, external things that can be identified in order to advance.

This is mutual guarantee: not entering internal things, which could prevent me from correcting myself and the world. I only need to be responsible for what is happening among us. We should regard the method of mutual guarantee as a wonderful opportunity. Kabbalists intentionally brought us the method of correction in such a simple form.

Question: Will the division into internal and external parts, between “Israel” and the “nations of the world” be kept when the whole world reaches the end of correction?

Answer: No. The letters of the Hebrew word “Israel” stand for Li Rosh (I have a head). This is the order of the general correction—the one who is evoked and is given a special desire is called “Israel,” and he must take care of the whole world serving as the link between the Creator and the created beings. It isn’t an ordinary desire since the “point in the heart” manages it by the connection with the Creator. The attribute of bestowal was inserted into this desire, the posterior of Nefesh of Holiness. This is the meaning of the “Israel,” Yashar – El (straight to the Creator). It isn’t about certain people, but rather about a special type of desire that is connected to the Creator since it has the discernment of what bestowal is. Although it is concealed and shattered, it still exists.

How can the desires in which this spark, this discernment of bestowal, doesn’t exist be corrected? It is possible if they add Israel as their “head;” if the two parts connect and work together.

The whole world is the essence of the desire to receive that must be corrected. But it can only do it through connection with another desire in which there is a spark of bestowal. Therefore the “nations of the world” are not required to correct themselves. On the other hand, they feel sorrow and pain since “Israel” doesn’t correct them.

This is where the hatred that the world feels towards Israel stems from. Of course, no one perceives it, but subconsciously, according to their nature, these people feel it and express their claims openly.

The correction is the role of those who belong to “Israel.” They have to correct their attitude towards the nations of the world as soon as possible. Actually, there is nothing to correct in “Israel” themselves, except for the part of the “nations of the world” in them. If “Israel” process these desires in them correctly, they will understand how to treat others. Speaking in Kabbalistic terms AHP de Bina explains to Bina how it should treat ZON.

Thus we must first correct “the nations of the world” in us, our external part, which will allow us to connect with the internal part of the world. This is the order of correction. It is our duty, and if we don’t make efforts to carry it out as soon as possible, troubles are soon to come. The time has come, and the nations of the world will begin to pressure us since the mutual inclusion that was created as a result of the exile allows them to feel that Israel owe them.

It says: “Why was it called Mt. Sinai? Since the hatred of the nations of the world descended from it.” “Since Israel received the method of correction. So where do all our troubles come from? From Israel, since they do not fulfill what they have received.” The Torah, the method, obliges us immediately, while the upper force manages the nations of the world, and so their hate is justified.

But we are advancing “against the current,” hoping that the troubles will go away by themselves without correction on our part. It’s nonsense. After all, we are dealing with the force that evokes the correction. We mustn’t even ask or pray that the hatred that nations of the world feel towards us will disappear from the world; we should only exert ourselves so that it will be corrected. Here too, it isn’t because it’s an unpleasant phenomenon, but on the contrary, we have to be thankful for it since it evokes us to turn to the Creator.

So it’s an oxymoron.

Question: If the correction begins with people who have a “point in the heart,” then why do we turn to all of humanity now?

Answer: We operate in two parallel “fronts,” since the “nations of the world,” who don’t have a point in the heart, will provide us with the necessary deficiencies by which we will understand how to correct ourselves in order to be adapted to them.

It is like a married couple that is not considered a family until they have children; they are not a real family since nothing ties them together. In fact they are still children, although they are married. It is the offspring they share, the obligation to raise their children, which makes them parents.

It is the same with us: If we don’t take upon ourselves the work of being the link between the Creator and the nations of the world, then we will not be able to be “Israel.” Only carrying out this mission directs us Yashar-El, straight to the Creator. So we have to stabilize the whole picture in order to start our self-correction. Since it is “first think, then act,” we need the whole plan now.

It isn’t by chance that Baal HaSulam went to Poland in the 1930’s to check whether it was possible to evoke the local workers to correction as if everything was perfect in the Land of Israel and only the Poles were missing. The picture has to be as whole as possible. We will not understand how to correct ourselves if we don’t go out to the people both in Israel and all over the world. This is also how children “teach” and stabilize their parents. The connection with those who need your care stabilizes you and shows you how to organize yourself internally.

From Rabash’s lesson: When a person is naked, he feels a deficiency, and that’s why clothing for him is like filling that covers his deficiency. In spirituality too, an empty desire feels that it is deficient. When the Light comes and fills it, it is like clothing.

Clothing is the level of compatibility of the desire to the Light. The clothing can be inanimate, vegetative, animate, or different human characters—all this is the clothing a person has, which determines which attributes of the Light the desire can adopt by dressing in it in order to resemble the Light.

Our main work is to yearn to become a clothing on the upper one, to receive a form that is the most compatible with the Creator. We should constantly prepare ourselves to take on a new form. Everything is determined by the clothing because the desire itself has no form. It depends on the clothing, whether a person will be a beast or a human who resembles the Creator; it is one of the two.

On the way we should constantly see ourselves in a state of free will, half guilty and half innocent according to the clothing, according to the form I am inclined to. In order to do that I have the group, the teacher, and the books, which can attune me to a clothing, a form that is as similar to the Creator as possible.

Question: What do you envision the ideal state in the groups to be like? What do we need to come to?

Answer: Growing pains will continue. There is no way to avoid this until the groups acquire their spiritual foundation.

Once there will be a foundation under every group, a “spiritual pillow” that they will perceive in its constant form, understanding and feeling their spiritual skeleton, their ten Sefirot, which are the basis of them, and within them perceive the higher state, the upper world, the governance, and adaptation, then it will be possible to say that they exist independently, they understand there are no imbalances, and together they participate in one common connection, one common system.

Otherwise, what kind of a common system is this? Everyone only understands himself in accordance with his own egoism. This is why these growing pains will only go away once we reach the spiritual level, and I hope that this will happen very soon. .

Question: After the leap that takes place in the groups, there is some confusion felt. It’s like when a person has won the world championship and now needs to prepare for the Olympic games.

Answer: A person experiences some descent, a lack of motivation. He doesn’t clearly see the goal; he doesn’t have the same pressure with which he worked earlier. Suddenly, all this disappeared.

Question: How can I hold this goal?

Answer: This is what mutual guarantee, Arvut, is! This is why the group is needed—to hold everyone! No one can resist this fall and no one can climb out of it.

The group must provide ascent for all together. After all, you have strength to support others, but you have no strength to support yourself; the group must do this.

Question: Where did people find strength to study Kabbalah and to organize a learning center?

Answer: They didn’t work towards unity. They worked in Kabbalah egoistically. It wasn’t Kabbalah, but merely knowledge. They studied articles, The Study of the Ten Sefirot and other materials.

When you are facing the need to unite, you develop a weakness; you start feeling that this is against you, you don’t want this. But before that, there was no weakness.

The desire to know more, to sort through a couple more articles, a couple more quotations and the like, all that is fine, and you feel more confident. Thus, in principle, people don’t advance, but accumulate knowledge.

Today, we have already accumulated knowledge; we have done everything, we have carried out preparation simultaneously in the world—what remains is just unity!

Question: Suppose there are 300 people in the group. Should each of them find his place in the external work with the masses?

Answer: This is not a requirement. There is a definite potential part that must break through.

It’s said that three million people left the Egyptian exile, but there were only 600,000 souls of men between the ages of 20 and 60, those who were really strong, men in their nature. It is just one-fifth.

Therefore, if only about one-fifth, one-fourth, or even a third of the group can gather in a strong team (this will still require the support of everyone else), then it’s enough for all of them, even the weakest, to feel their attraction, their attitude, their ascent to the next level. Everyone to the extent of his strength; there is nothing you can do. Every human society is arranged like a pyramid.

Question: During the workshop, should we think about those groups who are not on the screens?

Answer: No. It’s not necessary; it’s distracting! How much can you think about others? You need just to feel them and that’s all!

We have to feel that they are with us, that we are together in one thought, in one spiritual space.

Spiritual space is the space of thoughts and feelings, the heart and mind, the information layer around our world. We are all together in it because we have one mind, one senses the same goals.

What would the image of the people on the screen give me? What for do I need to see faces and bodies or to read that it’s Krasnoyarsk, Tallinn, or any other city? What is the difference where they sit? I feel the desires that come to unity and thus form a huge common desire: This is the most important thing.

Question: What should we concentrate on now? Where should we direct our efforts? I mean dissemination and the group work.

Answer: In group work, we should direct our efforts to our workshops on Sundays.

On the other days, there must be at least some classes. I see that there are groups that study seriously. A lesson, in general, is organized and directed towards unity. Practically, the entire course material speaks about this. Even in The Study of the Ten Sefirot, it is speaking about unity, about the connection of souls between themselves. Everything that is described there is only the connection of souls in a single system.

Besides that, we have begun to create courses for training lecturers of the “Mutual Guarantee” movement, that is, lecturers for the 99%. They will become leaders and organizers of workshops, round tables, etc. Today, already around 300 people are ready, and new people are being added; a new wave is coming.

In our country [Israel], we have reached a point where we are invited as permanent lecturers and education consultants in schools, workplaces, city halls, and other places.

I think that within a few months, we will come to a point when the experts, prepared by us, will be able to start working in various organizations. In any case, we are approaching such a state when no business can operate if it’s not internally re-organized and people are not correctly connected with each other into a small integral community. Nothing will work without this!

Question: What is the best form of preparation for the workshop?

Answer: Perhaps, you could sing. Or maybe read some excerpts, but not long ones, not tiring, just some short “bullet points.” You might sit, hugging each other, touching, looking deeper into oneself for a few minutes, talk on a particular topic about the importance of the group and unity as a means of revelation of the upper world.

The whole method is very simple! It requires only a maximum desire, commitment, and nothing more.
