Torah, “Deuteronomy,” 02:01 – 02:06: Then we turned and journeyed into the desert by way of the Red Sea, as the Lord had spoken to me, and we circled Mount Seir for many days. And the Lord spoke to me, saying, “You have circled this mountain long enough; turn northward. And command the people saying, “You are about to pass through the boundary of your kinsmen, the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and they will be afraid of you. Be very careful. You shall not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land not so much as a foot step, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for an inheritance. You shall buy food from them with money, that you may eat, and also water you shall buy from them with money, that you may drink.”

Esau and Lot are the closest “relatives” of the quality of bestowal; they can be corrected, but not yet.

While under the rule of Pharaoh (common egoism), I earned the part that I was able to extract from him because I suffered while I was working, was captive of egoism; I was artificially placed there and not willingly. However I invested great efforts into work with the egoism and now everything that I got in Egypt, meaning all these forces and comprehension I took from there I can use for correction.

By this I allegedly exchange my knowledge and strength for work with egoism called Lot and Esau. I can take food from them and exchange it for silver. Silver is the quality of bestowal, Bina. Gold is the quality of Malchut.

Torah, “Deuteronomy,” 03:13 – 02:14: Now get up and cross the brook of Zered. So we crossed the brook of Zered. And the days when we went from Kadesh barnea, until we crossed the brook of Zered, numbered thirty eight years, until all the generation of the men of war expired from the midst of the camp, just as the Lord swore to them.

If we look at the forty-year journey through the desert from a geographic point of view, the entire distance from Egypt to Israel could be walked in a week.

The Torah, however, speaks about a spiritual journey, the preparation for developing the qualities of bestowal. The exodus from Egypt and arrival at the land of Israel is a very serious period of correction, rising from Malchut to Bina. And although this isn’t work with the quality of bestowal yet, because the desert doesn’t produce anything, it is a rise above egoistic qualities.

Question: Is it possible to say that humanity is now undergoing a period of preparation for the next degree?

Answer: For humanity it will happen in a different way, because they don’t have to undergo the same states as the people of Israel. Instead they use a prepared spiritual system, the system of forces that is ready for their correction.

And here we talk about the way this system is born, how the group of people that are called the people of Israel assemble it. Today our Bnei Baruch world group is undergoing exactly this forty-year period and all the others will receive an almost completed system from us.

They will start joining us and, thanks to them, we will bring the world to a new Upper Light. Their task isn’t to correct themselves through special actions but only to annul themselves before us to receive the Upper Light.

The Torah was given to the Jewish people in order to prepare them for their mission regarding the rest of the world.

By Jewish people, we mean those people who are focused on the path of spiritual correction, and all the other so-called Jews that were born Jewish are not considered a people.

Any person, who joins the movement toward the Creator is called Israel, “Isra-El,” “Yashar Kel,” which means “straight to the Creator.”

As once in ancient Babylon people who accepted the spiritual path and agreed to carry out this mission joined the group of Abraham, so it is today. Nothing has changed in the world.

Question: Then why do we say that Jews in the world need to understand their roots?

Answer: Because there are Reshimot in them, recorded information about what they underwent before and it is possible to awaken them toward it again.

The Torah serves as a basis for everything that happens in humanity. By some inconceivable streams and links, everything in the world is connected to Kabbalah: science, culture, art, and beliefs.

Everything else is an animal development of humanity because the world is divided into two parts: “Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what belongs to God.”

Comment: However, humanity still needs to come to this, despite the understanding that everything is taken from there….

Answer: I also used to be like all of humanity. So what?

You begin to explore, delve deeper, and at the same time, you don’t lose your head and feelings. You stay a normal human being with all of the desires, understanding, and connection with this world.

Together with it, you penetrate into the structure of the universe, and you see completely different things there, something that physicists just start talking about. You discover the Infinity, and this is not infinity the way that we understand it. In fact, these are your normal, internal states, just not corporeal.

Comment: The Torah is a basis for everything. However, it will take a long time until people come to the understanding of Kabbalah.

Answer: This is not true! If a person receives just a little prick, he says, “Oh! Enough! I am ready! No more.” Nowadays, we are exactly in such a state. Therefore, one little prick with a stick, a stimulus, is enough for us to move our donkey (Chamor in Hebrew)—that is, our matter (Chomer)—forward. We just need to be pricked, in other words, to receive a stimulus.

Question: Do you think that we will see a mass transition of the people to the “land of Israel”?

Answer: I don’t have any expectations. I must do what I can till the last breath. This is the best.

Of course, everyone should want to be like Moses, but not everyone can. Nevertheless, each of us must reach their purpose, perhaps a small one, but his own. Then, you will rise to the same level of Infinity, to the same height as Rabbi Shimon, the author of The Book of Zohar, Moses, and all other Kabbalists, the so-called superhumans.

Just do your part! It doesn’t matter who you are and with whom you communicate. If you, in your place, are able to invest your maximum effort into connection between people and their adhesion to the Creator, you will rise to exactly the same level as all great Kabbalists.

Question: Is a person given the understanding that this is exactly his place?

Answer: If he is open for it, his mission will find him.

Midrash Rabah, Devarim, Va’etchanan: I entreated the Lord at that time, saying, “O Lord God, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your strong hand, for who is [like] God in heaven or on earth who can do as Your deeds and Your might?

You cannot be compared to a king of flesh and blood who has advisors and associates who restrain him when he wishes to act with kindness and to forego his regulations. You, however, have no one to prevent you from forgiving me and annulling Your decree.”

The quality of Moses continues to work and develop precisely in the generation that he had brought up.

Pray let me cross over and see the good land that is on the other side of the Jordan, this good mountain and Lebanon. Let me see the Temple itself where sacrifices for the redemption of the sins of the people will be performed.

The fact is that the Torah uses a dual path. On the one hand, the correction happens according to the actions of the people, and on the other, the Creator has His plan, regardless of the actions of the people because He has to think about the correction of the entire world simultaneously. It means that there are tactical and strategic plans.

Tactically, in general, Moses is right. If his students are going forward, why can’t he himself continue the work he has begun?

However, according to the strategic plan, a next degree must now go into action. The next degree is his student, Joshua, who isn’t as wise a man as Moses, but he is a leader and a warrior. Completely new work starts that Moses can’t perform. Therefore, the warriors, the Cohens, and the Levites come to replace him.

Question: Should we change our character and attributes to become happier in life?

Answer: No, all we have to do is to connect with one another correctly. By discovering the Creator in this connection everyone remains the same. Moreover, a person doesn’t need to distort himself, pretend to be something else, and engage in eliminating egoism. It is enough to restore the connections between himself and others above the ego.

Question: What is a connection? Is there anything in our world that is similar to it?

Answer: Imagine that you hate someone and love him at the same time. If we calculate the average between these two attitudes and arrive at an average attitude: between your attitude to another and the other’s to you, this will be the right mutual connection.

We assume that a certain attitude is our nature and that we cannot change it, but we can build a small bridge of mutual connection above it. The greater the gap between egoistic hate and altruistic love, the higher a person is and the greater is the magnitude of the Creator he discovers between himself and others.

Question: Are these relations similar to the relations between a father and son?

Answer: Absolutely not, a father and a son are connected by relations on the animate level, an animal relationship.

Question: Why aren’t we given an example of the right connection?

Answer: Because we cannot connect the two emotions of love and hate at the same time. But we were given a group of like-minded people in order to build such mutual relations.

Torah “Deuteronomy,” 02:16 – 02:19: So it was, when all the men of war finished dying from among the people, that the Lord spoke to me saying, “Today you are crossing the boundary of Moab at Ar. And when you approach opposite the children of Ammon, neither distress them, nor provoke them, for I will not give you of the land of the children of Ammon as an inheritance, because I have given it to the children of Lot as an inheritance.”

There is a very clear sequence in the correction of egoism. Esau comes first, then Lot, and then all of the others except Amalek who can’t be corrected. Therefore it is said that it is impossible to correct him, because he is so-called “Lev Ha-Even” (stony heart). His correction is destruction.

Thirty-two main desires, which are the basis for the entire egoism, are unchangeable! And all others can be corrected to bestowal, love, and connection. The order of the correction is specified in the Torah.

For a person who understands what it says and who feels the upper roots, this is a real state with which he can deal and correct himself. For him this is revealing an inner world, and he, by working with it, clearly sees the entire geography, history, humanity, various nations, and so on. Everything is inside his egoism and is subject to the actions of correction.

Remark: The Creator says to the children of Israel, “Neither distress them, nor provoke them.” But they begin to feud.

Answer: The war for correction begins. When we talk about extermination and murder, we mean the destruction of the egoistic intention, which are restored to altruistic intentions.

Egoism by itself only corrects the intention “for myself” to the intention “for others” and becomes altruism. And all the desires remain. This is called the extermination of the nations or correction.

Torah, “Deuteronomy,” 1:44 – 1:45: And the Amorites, dwelling in that mountain, came out towards you and pursued you as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, as far as Hormah. So you returned and wept before the Lord, but the Lord would not hear your voice, nor would He listen to you.

The connection with the Creator, i.e., with the force of Light, is very simple: If you are equivalent to Him you can connect to Him, and never otherwise.

There are no movements from the side of the Light, it is in absolute rest, and only we move toward it. But it seems to us that the Light is getting closer and then we feel good, and if we are opposite to the Light, we are moving away from it, and then we feel bad.

We think that the Light, the common force of good that fills the entire universe, performs all the actions, but in reality everything depends only on our internal movement.

By connecting more strongly with each other, we reveal the Light within us more and more. Egoism constantly supplies us with bigger desires so we can correct ourselves by getting closer to each other, until the complete revelation of the Upper Light is within us.

Question: Would it be an error to think that I will do everything by myself?

Answer: Of course. The fact is that we go forward without the Light, the entire development of humanity before our time was through the attempts to do something inside egoism. We were enclosed in our little black ego and all the time we were digging in the depths of the earth, ostensibly seeking to progress.

But the entire progress came down to robbing, stealing, and appropriating something from each other. It never took place due to good ideas or kind actions. Therefore, now we are left with nothing.

We have come to such a state because as the Creator said, “I am not among you.” After all, Moses, or the Creator, is the quality of bestowal (Bina).

Today, we finally begin to uncover the reason for our common universal suffering. Its source is the fact that humanity is in one single quality of egoism. And we don’t have the second opposite to it, the quality of altruism. Even the altruism we think exists in this world is purely egoistic.

Torah, “Deuteronomy,” 1:41 – 1:43: Then you answered and said to me, “We have sinned against the Lord; we will go up and fight, according to all that the Lord, our God, has commanded us.” So every one of you girded his weapons, and you prepared yourselves to go up to the mountain. And the Lord said to me, “Say to them, ‘Neither go up nor fight, for I am not among you, lest you be struck down before your enemies.'” So I spoke to you, but you did not listen, and you rebelled against the command of the Lord, and you acted wickedly and went up to the mountain.

Moses says to the sons of Israel, “You weren’t corrected enough in order to fight with your internal egoism. I warned you but you decided nevertheless that we need to race against time.

Remark: But they repented by saying, “We have sinned against the Lord! Now we will go and correct our sin.” And God replied, “I am not among you.”

Answer: We can’t get away, the laws of nature are unalterable. God is not some kind of puppet or capricious woman. It is the clear laws of nature. If you fulfill them, you receive life; if you don’t fulfill them you are going to die.

Moreover, he sent spies, the wisest men, to the land of Israel. And what did they see? They saw the enormous fruits this land gives! And why does it give such fruits? There are no Jews there yet, completely different people live there. However, they can’t extract these fruits from the egoism without having quality of bestowal.

Comment: But in the Torah it is said that two people are carrying an enormous cluster of grapes…

Answer: Correct, but who is carrying it? The children of Israel that entered it; the seven spies, they saw these fruits! They brought them to the people! They work with egoism! They discovered that with its help it is possible to obtain such fruits, i.e., to reach such spiritual heights!

Therefore they say, “If we enter this land, (plunge into egoistic desires), take a bit from inside egoism and raise it outside, then we will receive enormous fruits! This is special land!”

There are few levels of desires: zero, one, two, three, and four. The fourth level is the most base, heavy, and egoistic. Throughout the history of evolution, egoism is constantly growing. The people of Israel, by exiting Babylon, corrected the first four levels of egoism in them: zero, one, two, and three.

And now they enter the land of Israel, the last, most terrible egoistic state. Therefore, the spies who entered the fifth level, bring fruits and show them to everyone, saying, “Look what we can obtain there!”

But everybody understands that these fruits are possible to obtain through a serious fight with terrible giants living in the land of Israel, i.e., with those enormous egoistic desires that exist in this level.

Moses addresses the people saying, “We must work on this level. Do you agree?” Half of them shout, “What for? Here it is good for us as well! We will wait.” And another part is ready to go forward at any cost. Hence Moses tells the Creator that he must explain the Torah to them again.

But this is another Torah, preparation for entry into the land of Israel; we can say it is a compilation or an assembly of the previous path and a presentation in a form that requires a person to start working with the most difficult and dark layer of egoism.

Among these egoistic desires are some that we are unable to correct and just have to leave them aside. But first we need to explore, sort, select, and set them aside.

Seven nations living in the land of Israel, i.e., seven egoistic desires, must be corrected gradually. This means conquering them by covering them with the altruistic intention.

Torah, “Deuteronomy,” 01:39 – 01:40: [Moreover] your little ones, whom you said will be prey, and your children, who on that day did not know good and evil, they will go there and I will give it to them, and they will possess it. But as for you, turn yourselves around and journey into the desert by way of the Red Sea.

Children born during the journey in the desert will be able to enter the land of Israel because they weren’t in Egyptian slavery, in the slavery of egoism. They fought with it!

In other words, those altruistic qualities that were born from the corrected ego are ready to enter the land of Israel and work with egoism further by ploughing it, and those qualities that were in the slavery of Pharaoh are screaming constantly, “Let’s return to Egypt!” and therefore they must die.

The children will not be the prey of giants because they will be above them, above this egoistic power that is revealed in the land of Israel. This is the next stage after rising to Bina, the work with Malchut, with the common enormous egoism that is represented by giants.

Midrash Rabah, “Devarim,” 04:1 – 04:2: Moses asked, “Allow me to repeat Torah from the beginning to the Jews before my death! I want to explain to them all difficult places and details of the laws of the Torah!” 

Moses can’t enter the land of Israel because we enter it in order to conquer it, and Moses is on the level of pure Bina, absolute bestowal. Therefore, all his work ends in the interval from Egypt to the receiving of the Torah and its development.

The sons of Israel passed the first period of learning the Torah and its adaptation while wandering in the desert for forty years. They die during these years, meaning all the egoism with which they exited Egypt dies in them and gets fully corrected to bestowal.

Now they need to work with this quality in order not just to rise above all egoistic desires but to convert them into altruistic ones. Like a farmer in ploughing the earth, turns it over, allowing new shoots to come up, the same thing happens here.

And Moses is not ready for this. This isn’t his force, but the use of the lower egoistic quality, of the land of Israel that isn’t the land of Israel yet. It will become the land of Israel once it is conquered.
