When working on corrections we have to work in the opposite direction of the shattering and to understand that everything depends on our mutual incorporation. Therefore, the correction begins from having an inclination, a deficiency, a need, to unite for different reasons.

There is a purely pragmatic aspiration to unite in order to make a living from one another in the corporeal sense, and there is the commandment to connect in order to earn from one another spiritual advancement.

All the corrections are performed by mutual incorporation. So when we want to put the shattered vessel together again, we should make sure that a person feels that he is an inseparable part of the world. That is, he has to correct the whole world in order to correct himself.

This means that a person will not be able to correct himself unless he corrects his connection with the whole world, with all of humanity. Although it may seem impossible, we depend on one another in the correction to the same extent that we depend on one another in the shattering.

To the extent that I depended on everyone during the shattering, as is being revealed now, I also depend on everyone during the correction. So even if I only perform minor personal corrections that I manage to carry out, I thus touch every person in the world. It is because we are in an integral system in which there are no detached parts, but where everything is connected and everyone influences one another.

Of course, everyone operates according to his level and according to his Reshimot (spiritual genes), according to the depth of their fall during the shattering and after the sin of the Tree of Knowledge. But still, if we pull a certain thin wire at the end of the system, the whole system rocks and moves, and is accordingly invoked either for better or for worse.

That’s why it is said: “He who saves one soul of Israel, it’s as if he saved the entire world.” It’s because he who is called Israel (according to his yearning for the revelation of the Creator, the force of bestowal and love in the desires) corrects his attitude to the system he encounters at least to the first level of Nefesh, and by that he certainly influences the whole system.

For this reason it is said in The Book of Zohar that when Israel corrects themselves, the Upper Light that comes into their vessels pours outside and fills the whole world. This means that we don’t have to take care of the world, but it is enough to take care of those who can wake up.  Although we can go out to the public and hasten their development.

Question: We keep talking about the love of the Creator and of the group. Where does the general public come in?

Answer: The entire humanity joins the group. Inside the shattered vessel, there is the part called Israel, and the part called the nations of the world. It all exists within the same vessel, in Babel.

The pure part of the desire came out of Babel, and out of this part, during the Egyptian exile and the First and Second Temples, the nation of Israel was established in a shattered form. The second part that came out of Babel wasn’t shattered, but was totally egoistic.

Israel ascended to the spiritual level from which it fell and was shattered, while the nations of the world are not shattered in the process, but already go through the shattering in their roots. We have no choice but to collect and to connect all the shattered vessels which is all of humanity, as it is written: “For they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them.”

The Creator connects to all of humanity as one whole, and Israel is the connection between the parts. Israel actually does not exist. Do you think that you are the main element to which everyone connects, the Creator from above and the general public below? You are simply a pipe that the Light that connects the two goes through.

The Creator actually wants to be dressed in the nations of the world, in the created beings that are external to Israel. This is His goal. They have a real desire to receive, while Israel is the connection between Bina and Malchut, and can only be a connector.

Israel feels the greatness of the goal in their attributes, but this action is in order to serve the Creator and humanity. This action is very important since without it, the Creator and the created beings will not be able to connect to one another for it is Israel that connects them, and only that. The Creator’s desire is directed toward the nations of the world. He looks at them since they have the real raw desire to receive.

The Creator is revealed in the great desires found in all of humanity. Israel is only the connector between them, which is a very respectable role since it is the mediator between the Creator and the nations of the world. Therefore, we should know that if Israel thinks that the nations of the world hate them, then the Creator “hates” them to the extent since they don’t fulfill their obligation.

Question: Did Baal HaSulam leave us information about all the stages on the way so that it will be possible to create the method on the basis of this information?

Answer: No, Baal HaSulam didn’t leave us with information like this. We need to find the way ourselves. The path seems clear, but how to advance on it from stage to stage is what nobody knows.

The problem is that we have to go out on this path without any guarantee, any knowledge, but only by realizing the need and having no choice. The world pressures us, meaning that the Creator pressures us through the world, and we must bring people to connection so that through it they will attain the equivalence of form with the Creator.

The moment we begin the right search through our connection with friends, we begin to discover the method. This is because it is imperative for us and is expressed in our words, our manner and style, with all of our conditions. No Kabbalist until our day could write anything about this.

The wisdom of Kabbalah is a practical science that was conceived through experience, through experiment. And someone who is not living in our time didn’t know and wouldn’t know even if he were a great Kabbalist. He could talk about general tendencies, about two ways, but he could not write more about our time. That’s why the Kabbalists were deployed in each and every generation, and now we find ourselves in our times.

In the writings of Baal HaSulam, it is possible to find some hints about our time. There is something mentioned in the writings of The Last Generation, but it is impossible to copy blindly from there. One may discover that he is trying to draw into the present reality something that will be realized after many years and which in the meantime, is of little importance.

Opinion (Efim Reytblat, engineer, founder of the science of gominisologii): “How could it happen that so far there is no science of humanity? There are a few sciences of the human (anatomy, biology, physiology, psychology, anthropology, gerontology); there is a science of society (sociology), and there is no science of humanity! There is a science of animals, and there is no science of humanity! How do humanity and man affect each other mutually?

“The world order (humanity) should be aligned with the Laws of Nature.

“The human system is characterized by the process of self-organization, vertical and horizontal connections. In case of unsatisfactory vertical ties, the control of the system of an individual is broken. In case of unsatisfactory horizontal connections, conflicts between societies arise.

“The system of humanity is an open system. The basic principle of an open system is observed – a constant intensive exchange with the environment – with the system of society and the system of the future reality.”

My Comment: Humanity cannot understand itself. We can understand only what is below us. In order to jump on a table, it is necessary to jump above the table.

Therefore, the science of animals exists and there is the science of our animal body. But there cannot be a science about people, their communities, and even more so about humanity as a unified system of communities. We cannot have such a science and such precise knowledge before we rise to the level above our present state and from there, from above, begin to study ourselves.

These are the possibilities and scope of the science of Kabbalah. Only through its methods is it possible to rise above our current level and reveal the true system of connection of humanity, its path and its goal.

Question: All world problems are created because of separation among the people of Israel. The Bnei Baruch group is the center for correction of the world. What does the central group lack for connection in Israel itself?

Answer: I don’t think that the problem is only in our group. It cannot be connected and united with the rest of the groups if they don’t help it and begin to be integrated into it. So this is not just about Israel, but about the one common world group.

When we say that in Israel there is a unique atmosphere, we mean that here, in this nation, in this territory, there is an obligation first and foremost to offer people the method of the wisdom of connection. And in this, the central group, whose mission is to serve the people of Israel, is united.

But around it there are other groups that must join us to help us and to push us.

 

We need to receive power from each other. But first and foremost, we require the support of the other groups in order to disseminate the wisdom of connection among the people of Israel. And the rest of the groups must be doing this in their own territories.

So the main thing is unity among the people of Israel. If we actualize the idea of unity here, this will spread further and encompass the whole world.

For the inner network of connections between all people in the world are derived from here: The egoistic is derived from Babylon and the altruistic is derived from Israel. This link doesn’t exist now. Our mission is to create it.

Question: Does a desire for spirituality have to awaken in all people?

Answer: A desire for spirituality will be awakened later, meanwhile people simply want fulfillment: a feeling of  completeness in life, the power of vitality, joy, and inspiration. But they don’t have it. Nothing brings satisfaction any more: neither shopping nor children, neither career nor music, culture, or even soccer.

Up until today, sports were a very big part of fulfillment. All television channels show either sports or food. Yet this will also stop satisfying people. A new level will arrive, and attempts to awaken in people an interest in sports won’t help any more.

Only then can we supply the remedy to humanity. By connecting with our help, people will receive spiritual fulfillment through us, even without being aware of its upper source. Happiness will reach them from the upper Light, yet they will not feel the Light, but simply pleasure. And they will continue to work further on their connection for this and will connect to us even more tightly.

And we will work for them. They will require us to carry out this work for people, through whose help we will rise. After that, they will also discover that lying within the connection is a unique upper force concealed in nature. This collective power of bestowal holds the entire creation and fills the universe like some kind of dark grey matter.

These things are fairly reasonable. Scientists are already saying that the universe contains a concealed force of nature, which we still are unable to perceive, much like dark matter.

This is the source of our life from which we receive the vital force. And so it’s worthwhile to know how to approach it and to improve our lives. It’s up to us to reach real contact with this matter, so much so that we can sink into it, enter into this cloud, and remain in it. This is the best thing that could happen to us! This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah, the method of receiving perfect fulfillment, teaches us.

Question: When Abraham disseminated his ideas about unity in ancient Babel, many thought that he was naive, detached from reality, and only very few Babylonians followed him. What should we do today when we hear people say that we are naive and detached from reality?

Answer: I agree with these people. Indeed calling for unity and love seems naive, especially if we look at human history. A mother’s love for a child is more or less understood, but with regard to everything else, we are managed by corporeality and hormones and consider their influence on us as love.

In fact, in our world, love is receiving pleasure. One may love meat, another fish, and a third his or her partner. These are all pleasures.

Therefore, those who don’t believe in love are right to a certain extent. From their point of view we speak about something that is abstract, about a form of love that simply doesn’t exist in our world.

After all, love is when I annul my desire before the desire of another, do what is good for him, and enjoy it. I have no contact with him: He isn’t close to me, but a total stranger.

Where can we find such things? After all, it is against nature. This means that my message is naive and detached from reality.

Question: So what should I do? Abraham didn’t give up. He did a thorough job until he gathered around him people who thought like him. How did he relate to those who claimed that he was naive?

Answer: We are speaking about a unified system. And consequently with those who consider you naive, you work with them as being in an outer circle. For now you collect those who are close to you and who wish to be with you.

In addition, you have the group and you work on its connection so that it will be as close to the Creator in its attributes as possible. In this manner, the Light that Reforms will be revealed among the friends so that thanks to it,  they will receive the Creator’s form, meaning that their desires, their vessels, will connect in mutual bestowal.

When the Light illuminates among the friends, it will also pour unto the others. After all, we are connected and even those who think less of you because you are naive are still connected to you. Even if the communication channels between you are inactive as yet, the upper Light will flow in them and even a negative connection that is revealed at the beginning will be a basis for what follows. Then you will suddenly discover that those who oppose you are already willing to converse with you.

Question: Where will I find the power not to give up and to continue to disseminate?

Answer: From the group. The group where everyone hears complaints about his naivety receives powers from me. This is the way the world is arranged, and there is nothing we can do about it. This is our work, our destiny, and we must understand that every penny adds up to a big account.

The Light is here and it is pressuring us. We have to try to draw it.

Question: How can we balance the study, the dissemination, and our ordinary life in the family and at work correctly?

Answer: We always feel pressure in every direction: The family demands that we spend all our time with it, at work, we have to make great efforts in what we do. But we always have to choose what is most important.

Everything depends on importance. There are people who can dedicate more time to the study and to dissemination, and others have less time. There are those who say that nothing depends on them, and others do everything possible for their spiritual development since otherwise their life will come to nothing. One thing depends on another, on the importance of the spiritual development that is established in the group.

We are living in a very special time, and we can see this in the way the world develops and the changes in it, and even by the changes in the climate. So, we have to consider how we make decisions and how much the world depends on us.

If we don’t convey the Light that Reforms to the world, it will be our fault. This is the mission of the Jews, of Israel. Israel means Yashar-El (straight to the Creator), and it is a conductor, an adapter. If we don’t convey the upper Light down to the entire world, we create a problem.

We must be the conductor and even the amplifier of the Light by our good work. Besides, we have to arrange the Light correctly by pouring it to the world through us like through a funnel so that it will be soft and smooth, and at the right angle. Our adaptor is rather complicated, and it has ten Sefirot.

However, if we don’t do all that and don’t adapt the Light correctly, we cannot connect and adapt the created beings, the entire world, to the Creator. First, we have to correct ourselves, and that is the reason that we feel pressure. The world is putting great negative pressure on us in the form of hatred and anti-Semitism.

There is also pressure from Above since we are like a bottleneck through which the Light and the abundance must pour unto those below. Therefore, we are in a special time and can advance seriously and powerfully. However, on the other hand, we also can lose everything.

Question: What should I do if it is difficult for me to talk to people, and I don’t know how to convey the method of connection to a person with whom I am talking?

Answer: There cannot be any difficulties because we explain to people how it is possible to get out of the crisis. If such problems didn’t exist in the world, we wouldn’t have the possibility of approaching them. However, from day to day, the world is sinking into greater and greater problems and chaos with formidable speed. Nobody knows what will happen today or tomorrow.

In a situation like this we simply must go out to the world and tell them why this is happening. This is indeed being done deliberately by nature that presses upon us. We are constantly developing under its pressure, and even now, it presses upon us so that we will continue with our development.

This time however, our development shouldn’t happen through all kinds of wars. Against whom can we fight today if all of us are in the same trouble? Nothing will help if we begin to fight each other, for we have nothing to conquer. You want to live in some nation?Go ahead, do it!

Problems that humanity experiences today cannot be solved in an earthly way. We don’t have the tools with which it is possible to correct the situation. This is because we have already used all the means that exist in this world, but we still feel bad. Humanity got confused: if we start a revolution against someone, then we are harming ourselves.

Revolutions don’t help, but only destroy nations as we see from the example of the latest events in the Ukraine or the consequences of the Arab Spring, a wave of turmoil that has passed through the Arab world. We don’t have the tools to benefit our situation. Nature obligates us to move from external actions to internal actions and to change ourselves.

This is precisely what we need to explain and publicize to everyone. Leaving the crisis is possible only through an internal revolution within the person, not through external upheavals. This is our message with which we go out to people. We have a method for changing a person through which he not only attains a serene life in this world, but discovers a completely new, eternal, complete dimension in addition to the one in which he now lives.

This addition will be so meaningful that he, so to speak, will disconnect from this material life and will live entirely in the spiritual world without feeling the life and death of his physical body. He will rise above it in a feeling of eternal existence.

We have to reach a state like this, and obviously, on the way we will solve all the problems, remove all doubts, and answer all questions. This is the only method that makes it possible to leave the crisis that will only expand more and more. I hope everyone will understand as quickly as possible that this is the only way.
