*Parashat Beresheet  (Genesis) - Selected Excerpts from the Sources #7*

 

1. Rav’s Introduction: In our program here we want to go over the whole Torah according to the weekly portion, meaning that in a year's time we will go over the entire book and to read verses from it which have special potential to awaken us and show us the path, to show us what we have to do. Everything is in the Torah, but there's many layers, many forms it takes, it's a book... there's nothing like it. It's what Moses received. what Moses received on Sinai, and everything is there in the Torah. We don't look at it as some kind of journal, the story of some group walking through the desert, or before that from the creation of the world but rather if we understand that in it the entire plan is hidden, all of the rules and laws of creation. As we study these verses let's think also about our lack, because other than the lack we need nothing.  The light is in the Torah so let us study in order to draw the reforming light. It's very good, worthwhile to connect to each other more and more and from our connection, raise MAN and the lack where we want to feel ourselves tied together, bound together.  For this to be a spiritual lack and within that lack to start discovering the Upper light which is called Torah. So, the lack for the Torah and the fulfillment of the Torah, that's what we need. Let's think of this as we study the weekly portion.

 

*Excerpt 7 Reader (3:10 - 6:48) reads twice*

2. R. Meaning that the Creator created the will to receive and this will to receive wants to enjoy. In order to reach the purpose of creation, to become like the Creator on the same degree, the same attainment, feeling, the understanding, that is the goal the Creator wants us to reach. For that, we have to have the same desire as in “to bestow as he wants to bestow to us”. We need to turn our will to receive, into an order to bestow to Him, to work in order to do so to Him, so He bestows on us and we bestow upon Him.  We identify with Him, we resemble Him, we're in the equivalence with Him so we raised ourselves from the degree of the created being which is how we feel ourselves to be in this world outside the entire system, of the system of creation, we elevate ourselves from that degree.  Because we're in the degree where we're in absolute zero and we raise ourselves to the Creator's degree, where we are lacking eternity, wholeness.  That it's all open to us on the condition, that we start using our nature or will to receive in order to bestow contentment on Him, and not for ourselves. To do that we need to put a restriction over our will to receive so that I don't do anything for my own pleasure, rather only in favor of the Creator, to the delight for Him and to the extent that I'm capable of achieving such a transformation on myself, I begin to gradually  feel like the Creator , until I come to a state where He is in a state and I'm in that state and it's called the end of my complete correction. So, the whole Torah is there for us to acquire the intention to bestow upon our desires to bestow upon the Creator. but all these desires, they become revealed and gradually we learn how we can enjoy them all.  The work is in the group through the study, we want to connect in the group in order to bestow upon each other, and instead of the Creator we don't yet feel Him so we can be mistaken, so instead we want to bestow upon each other in a circle, in a ten.  As we try to connect our desires together, mutual bestowal, we aim them towards the Creator and that's how we come from the love of the created being to the love of the Creator and that is our entire path.  Let's hope we succeed and it all depends on the extent to which we can maintain that intention, to succeed in that direction, with our desires and to feel that we are all doing this together and in the form of Arvut.

 

3. S. (10:48) Upon which desires do we have to place our restriction?

R. We need to make restriction over each and every desire over my intention to use, to enjoy for myself and turn it to the intention to bestow through the ten on the Creator.

S. That means in principal, over every desire that appears I have to play such an intention that first of all I would like to bestow to the ten?

R. Yes, because then certainly if I do this in the ten it's certain that I'm not lying to myself.

S. And if I cannot make restriction what do I do if there is such a strong desire that appears I'm not capable of it?

R. Ask, ask the Creator to help you, that's the safest and most simple if you discover that you can't instead of crying and being in sorrowful, you need to be glad because the Creator is showing you the truth, that you're incapable of any act of bestowal.  That you're truly the egoist that He created and then you and Him identify with each other in the way that He created you like an egoist and you discover that you are and turn to Him.  It's called go to the Craftsman who made me and ask Him, demand but for your demand to truly be to rise above your ego, you need to do it in the ten. Because with respect to the Creator, we imagine to ourselves all sorts of states but if you want to bestow upon the friends, but not actually want but try, then it's certain that you're doing this correctly that you're truly asking for the vessels of bestowal, desires to bestow.  Try to imagine that you're asking the Creator to be able to love the friends to love them just as they are regardless of who or what they are you just want to love them, and you ask Him to give you such a feeling such a desire, such an inclination and then you will begin to rise above your ego towards the Creator. You never work directly towards the Creator because you have nothing to give Him, He has no lack, His lack is in the created beings so the more you act in favor of the created beings in order to bestow contentment to the Creator, that is how you reach the purpose of creation. You observe the purpose of creation to be in actions towards the created being and in intentions towards the Creator.

S. I tried to act In the direction towards the friends, I asked for them and I discover even more desires towards other things?

R. It's certain to be that way, you will discover to be that way you'll discover 125° you will discover how much you want to hurt them, kill them, burn them, how much of the evil inclination we have in us  opposite that love and bestowal that we later need to discover it's absolutely terrible. The person includes within him such terrible desires that it's unimaginable, indescribable in our world. In our world we don't feel any of it, we just have petty crime, and it's nothing. You will find that there is no pleasure greater than to cause harm to someone else, to see how he suffers to see how you're in control of him it's awful. It's all there, so that from that minus, we can come to the plus. It is a great inner war being waged in each one but without the ten it's impossible to do it, it is immediately, if you don't implement this in the ten, you're lying to yourself.

 

4. S. (16:00) It says that the correction is according to the observance of the Torah what does it mean to observe, implement the Torah?

R. What's written in the Torah you can understand right now, you'll understand it to the extent that you actually act on it. The Torah is actually hidden, it is a code what you need, is what the Kabbalists tell you to do in practice in order to do what the Torah tells you, to do you discover the Upper light which comes to our will to receive and then comes illumination from above,  an upper force which gives you the ability to receive to be able to bestow and what's written in the Torah you will be able to discover to the extent that you use all these advice correctly.

 

5. S. (17:12) You said now that a person discovers pleasure in how much is capable of holding, controlling others, how do you overcome such things that appear because it is stronger than the person? How do you truly not harm others?

R. That's why the ten needs to influence each member of the ten with good examples. How each one wants to be good to the other, how much he wants to connect to everyone, how much he is turning to the rest.  We need to see these examples before us and of course we don't want to see them to begin with, we don't want to see them until the person starts entering the correction some corrections, because it repulses him, it obligates him. Gradually we start to appreciate these examples we get from the others and we want to connect to them and to make an effort together. To develop and cultivate between us the forces of bestowal, the forces of bestowal.  So much so we want to harm each other and we try above that to overcome, each one of us and to have good intentions towards each other this is unceasing work.

S. I want to ask because in the bottle, inside you have a desire that is truly burning and for the time being the opposite examples are small, so how can you work correctly with these desires, this nature that appears in me and constantly is becoming more and more cruel so I don't hide it or ignore it, how do you correct the right way?

R. We must understand that the Creator, he gives us all of these all of these actions and conditions he knows exactly in what way to open this evil inclination up for each one, in which way for each and every one and what kind of relationships exists between us in the group and if we try to act on our inclination from Arvut, connection, love, mutual support, then it's certain that we exist.  Alone a person is incapable of anything we need to constantly understand, say am I in connection in the ten am I in this or not, if I am then I'm on the path. If I'm not then I need an example from the ten and that's how it is all the time, between the friends then the Creator takes care of us.

 

5A. S. We're just a will to receive, how can we acquire a desire to bestow to others which is truly outside of me?

R. We can start doing this in an egoistic way, like now as we are in the whole world, talk to people on the street and they'll tell you “am I an egoist, I'm doing good to others.” We're not talking about family everywhere no one will say that isn't this. No one will say that about himself meaning the people don't understand how they use their will to receive, that it's hidden from them. As we start working with the wisdom of Kabbalah through study, through the connection between us, we draw the Upper Light and it shines on us gradually more and more and we discover ourselves to be more egoistic than we were before. Before it didn't appear to us that we were egoistic but now it is so. Then according to that we need to fulfill ourselves in the ten and to the extent that we try to create and assemble a circle of love and mutual in the ten, in the circle to that extent turn to the Creator and ask for the force of bestowal, the force of love, the force of connection to ask for the power of Arvut and all these things.  We need to demand the Creator give us, but where, inside the ten, without the ten it is impossible to ask and then you'll see how he is and how he takes care of it. Only if we make the effort even if we can't do it but we try, attempt to turn to him from the prayer of many as we call it.  Meaning that it's preferable to have a ten, a group of ten, a Minyan. Then it's certain we're being tended to by the Creator so just to organize ourselves as a ten and turn to him and don't worry about it.  You will all feel how you change for the good and for the bad and you will feel more understanding,  more this sensation, more connection, in parallel more distance, more disconnection, less understanding your more pumped up and you'll have ascents some descents, accordingly you start walking on both feet on two lines.

 

6. S. (24:23) A question about the structure, about the Rosh, the head. it was said that the person was created on the sixth day the animals on the 5th day, later it says that the animals were created after man?

R. I want to hear questions according to the text that you're hearing here now.  I know when people come to the wisdom of Kabbalah they can't follow along with us, they don't have any interest in it.  They can grab onto secondary matters not so important, the way things are built the structure of the substances.  Listen and gradually, you'll find while we're talking about this and not something else.  The weekly portion and everything else, we study we want to extract something that is important for us right now, important for us, that not why something is written or why it's written this way or that way not exactly how the Torah is written but what we have to do to discover the Creator.  That's what we need to know and to know what the structure of this chapter of the Torah, that won't help us. It's completely external knowledge.

 

7. S. (26:42) We put it in an effort should we accept the fact that whatever the Creator does is correct, it is good because I see that what is happening in humanity is something that's really bad and cannot justify it, then what is the right relation that I should have in such states?

R. The Creator always gives us two forms. the form of Daat, reason what we see and feel in our vessel of reception and we can feel the same in our vessels of bestowal, faith above reason. For now you see within reason and you say according to my opinion and my perceptions I see the world as suffering, people are dying of coronavirus and the hunger, starvation, disease, and climate problems and whatnot and you are correct. These things will become more and more apparent in order to push us to come out of reason and rise to faith above reason and it will happen that way. So, let's together with you rise to faith above reason and you will discover a world that is entirely good. where everyone relates to each other with absolute love. They live Eternal lives, they suffer of nothing. If you recall that's what we learn from the article The Revelation and Concealment of the Lord.  You remember when a person sees in his egoistic corporeal eyes and what he sees with his eyes after he learns how to bestow, it's an opposite World, an upside down.  All depends on how we correct our vessels and how we correct their vessels in order to see the truth, that depends on us and we will try.

 

8. S. (29:32) It's unclear, what does it mean to correct a restriction, the Tzimtzum, what is this correction that comes through the observance of the Torah keeping the Torah?

R. For how long have you been studying did you go over the Preface and all of those articles

S. Studying for 10 years.

R. So the corruption is that our will to receive is neutral but it took on the intention only to receive, meaning that it thinks only itself and he's even willing to harm others if it's good for it. So the correction is where we invert the will to receive so that it's used with the intention to do good to others and that's what we need so when we change that intention of the usage of the will of desire then with that we come to see all of reality the opposite way, the inverted way. Us and the whole of reality and let's try to do that all of us and invert our intention and now by participating in the ten and learning how to act in the benefits of the ten to the benefit of the ten and if I try to do that, if I make an effort to do that then I start seeing through my transformation, I see the whole world differently it's called Divinity is clothed in all of reality, that's what I gradually discover and that's what we need to try and do.

S. This is that the Torah is clothed in the Kli?

R. Yes.

 

9. S. (31:45) Yesterday we had an exercise in the tens of behaving toward the friends like the Creator trying to feel what it's like. Throughout the exercise a question came up. should we maybe make a list of qualities of this so we know how to behave like him besides our ordinary words of connection and love. Creator apparently has many other qualities, is there a pin point to doing such a thing?

R. I don't know, you could do it but you're doing it out of your own qualities you just need to invert it because the Creator the is the desire to do good to his beings with respect to his created beings He has nothing else but to do good to the created beings that's in the absolute complete form like he is in his degree.  It's like parents treat their children, their children don’t always understand what their parents want for them is good, but we need to try and understand the Creator and go above our reason.

S. But, for example the Creator is not only doing good, he's meticulous, he's precise and he's very sharp in the way he responds, I don't know, you can make a list of such qualities?

R. You can make a list, but you need to write down everything that happens in the world, only with the intention to bestow.  There's nothing for you to write, just add to everything you feel and understand everything you discover and everything you will discover till the end of this whole process. That it's all only in order to bestow and there's nothing else besides and you will get a long list and after that you will throw it away, because there's only after all, only a change of

intention here.

S. So all of the qualities are okay as long as It is in order to do good to the Friends?

R. Correct, nothing changes, no desire, nothing, only the intention in order to bestow.  It's called I've seen an inverted world through the change of intention so to be in favor of others, act in favor of the friends to the benefit of the friends by that you change the negative to positive.

 

10. S. (34:33) Are there desires that are good for the past spiritual path that we don’t have to restrict?

R. You don't have any desire that is good for the spiritual path, you're mistaken in thinking that you have good desires, good intentions towards others you're mistaken.

S. Friends for example jealousy of the friends for example, or the desire to be like them?

R. You will see as you go on the path that the envy, everything it doesn't matter what, it's all working in you only for your own selfish benefit. That's the revelation of evil and after that comes to do good.

 

11. S. (35:33) From the article I realized there are three things here one that hatred comes as a gift from the Upper one in order to improve the connection between us, the second is we need to get out of it and if it doesn't work out, we describe it back to the Creator.  As it is said go to the Craftsman who made me if it happens in the ten, how do you find it in a way that the friends don't want to be insulted and also you want to go out to the next degree?

R. You need only to turn to the Creator you need to gather everything you have inside of you all the complaints, arguments, all this and understand that this whole package, the Creator made for made for you sorted out for you and you need to turn to him above this package for him to correct it.  That's all turn to him for correction and constantly badger him, like little children demanding of the parents so that he does it to be a pest to constantly demanding, turning to him to constantly compel him, obligating Him.

 

*Excerpt #8 Reader (37:15 - 37:38)*

12. R. And that comes from above us, the reforming light, we want the outcome of the Torah to be that we have faith, the power of in order to bestow from the side of the Creator, it's called the Torah because he himself is the power of bestowal and from our side even though we want from our will to receive to get this attitude of giving and this is called faith, is that clear? It will become clear.

 

*Excerpt #9 Reader (38:17 - 40:13)* twice 

13. S. How is the fear born, the fears that we might not bring contentment to the Creator, how can we always work in the way that we feel his greatness?

R. If we were talking about the relations between the friends and from the friends, we turn to the Creator to correct the relations between us so that our connection, the web between us He will build it in such a way where He will start appearing, being revealed.  If so, we create and establish such qualities which are adapted for the revelation of the Creator, that's all we need to build. We build our relations to it in the ten and the Creator is revealed in the relations between us, we have nothing else to do. There's no place where he can be revealed except the place we build for him and this is called Shechinah, Divinity, where the web of connections between us will be suitable for the Creator to reside in this web, in this network, there he will be revealed. So, we built this network, this web between us and in this we discover Rosh, Toch, Sof, all the entire Partzuf and discernments and the Creator He is revealed there, this is how he is revealed. We start feeling between us how we discovered that we built Divinity and the true Creator is the Shochen, the dweller, there resides there ,we built it of course this is through the reforming light in the Creator appears there what fills our Neshamah, our soul are ten and this is all practical work within the connection between us, and that's what we must do. Gradually as we try more and more, sometimes we need to hear about this for several months or years until we begin to understand that this is what needs to be done, no other way but before that it wasn't absorbed because the will to receive doesn't want to absorb, but I can repeat, but what I hear and to actually make it penetrate the heart that I can’t so gradually it enters. The main thing that I repeat here is envy lust and honor bring one out of the world, the egoistic world the one he is in, into the world of bestowal

 

14. S. (43:43) Just to make sure I understand correctly, related to the person that you must make the choice to assume the Kingdom of Heaven during the concealment is so that is exactly faith above reason yes?

R. Certainly yes.

S. Because it's written in many places all sorts of words that aren't exactly faith above freezing but it takes time to understand that this is the meaning?

R. There's nothing more we only have one state, I'll say it faith above reason may be confusing, that I'm constantly thinking about how I for the connection in the group between us, how I do good to the Creator, I think about him about what's good for him about what is pleasant for him, he wants to be revealed between us.  Okay we will make room for him so he will be revealed between us.  Sometimes using words that Kabbalist define as faith above reason I had no flavor in it for the time being, what's faith, what's reason, what's one above the other?   I don't have these discernments yet inside, but I understand the relations between us, do I have such relations with the friends or not, are these relations that the Creator can be revealed in or not. according to the form if we have a certain connection with each other, at least a certain degree then we start then to discover that we have the force of bestowal or not on the level of Nefesh b'Nefesh, this is the revelation of the Creator to the created being.  Inside of the created being that created being is the connection between us the Neshamah, the soul, that's it.

 

15. S. (46:07) Can you explain fear of Heaven?

R. The concept itself is a very high one, I'll say it simply the fear of Heaven, what is it? Practically? That you, in each and everything that you do through whatever you're doing you would like to delight the Creator, that's it. Like let's say to your mother or to your wife or to your little child to someone that you love, you are simply thinking all the time how I through some actions that I'm now performing how do I get to contentment, how do I make it pleasant for the Creator, that's it this is called in order to bestow.

 

16. S. (47:21) About the fear, if you ask me I have fear how to make sure that the fear I have....?

R. Fear is the opposite, that I'm afraid whether my action that I'm now doing, am I giving contentment to the Creator by it or not, am I good at doing good to Him by this or not and this is called fear.

 

17. S. (48:04) So he said that the will to receive doesn't change, you answered and you have the whole world and it doesn't change, only the intention changes?

 R. When it develops more, it becomes revealed in us more and it accordingly and also his intention in order to receive, it opens up more?

S. How do we make room for the revelation of the Creator by changing the intention?

R. Upon all of the desires to receive that surface.

 

18. S. (49:02) What do we have the intention during the restriction or later?

R. The intention depends on you, when you activate the intention you have it when you don’t, you don’t have it.

S. But when I make restriction on some desire it doesn't mean that I already have a desire to bestow to the Creator?

R. Also, if you restrict your desire it means that you don't want to use it because this desire is the opposite of the Creator so the intention with that as well, restrict your desire in order to distance yourself from the Creator, by this also you give contentment.

S. Is there a difference between the intention of restriction in Shoresh Aleph Bet Gimel Dalet, they're all measured according to the intention according to the extent of intention it is called Ohr Chozer, reflected light rising from the screen.

S. Exactly so what's the difference between the intention for the restriction and the intention of the reflected light?

R. There is a difference if you cannot truly use it in order to bestow in practice but at least you restrict yourself so as not to activate yourself egoistically, this is called a restriction

 

19. S. (50:48) You said that our work is to change the intention over those desires that are revealed, so to speak simply if I want to bestow upon the friends and bestow to the Creator some great egoistic desire for something else appears in me I say no no no I'll stick to the friends and bestow to you and again their egos revealed and I rejected and he says here that your request how to?

R. You have to implement it through the friends and it will be clear to you, what it is you are doing, you are not using the group, rather you would want to turn rather to the Creator and that is a great mistake, the Creator doesn't take anything into a account that does not come from the ten. Rather we just imagine to ourselves that we are turning to him and we are acting towards him, we're not acting towards him if it's not through the ten.  He is in the ten, so the Creator is the correct network of correction between us which exists between us.  This network exists this much as much as you on your side you can realize it, then you have a connection with Him, if you cannot then you're just fantasizing with Him.

S. But if I connect properly through the Creator through the ten when  a strong desire is revealed what will happen?

R. You will check it out.

 

20. S. (52:51) We heard that the Creator is the right web of connections between us 

R. This is called Shechinah Divinity the network of connection and the force that works there is the Shochen, the dweller, there is the Creator

S. What does it mean to turn to the Creator, to that web, to think about it?

R. Feel the correct connection between us in the ten, how much this ten is in a nice mutual way between us

S. But the action can you explain what that is?

R. When we feel that there is a certain connection between us in the ten and in that connection we are turning, this is called you have made me

S. What does it mean to turn, do we feel there is a connection?

R. The Creator does not exist in any other way he is not revealed in any other way, let's make efforts.

 

*Excerpt #10 Reader (54:09 - 55:12)*

21. R. This is what I talked about before, and wanted to recommend to you, I was asked what is faith above reason in all of my actions I want to think that I want that contentment to come to the Creator out of this each and every action, this is how I want to aim myself, even if I'm not doing it through the group all the more so if I can pass it through the group.  Thought concentration desire, inclination. That each and every state I want to see how by that, I'm giving contentment to the Creator that's all. What is he right here and then I'm afraid that maybe I won't be able to give contentment, to do in order to bestow in order to give contentment to the Creator and then the act of Creation will be cancelled, what needs to be revealed to the lower ones. So in the end when I start each and every moment in my actions towards the ten and through the ten in the center of the ten to bestow to the Creator, to build a connection between us, so that we will be able to discover in the connection between us, the Creator.  That the kind of connection between us that it will BoReh come and see that we built him, you have made me in such a way we reach the revelation of the Creator bestowing contentment to him and to the extent of contentment to him we discover Him.  Friends it is all very simple, very concrete, this is what the Creator now wants for the whole of humanity and he will do it. It's just that it will come through many more actions and we need to do it as quickly as possible between us and show it to the whole of humanity.

 

22. S. (58:05) You say that the essence of the connection between us is the Creator, so who can we turn to make that connection?

R. Only to the friends and to the Creator can you turn, that's it you have nothing besides that. Don't be so confused, who else do you have? You have me as the guide who's explaining to you and according to the books of Kabbalah and in order to implement it to do you have the group and the Creator so whatever you hear and read from the books and hear from me you have to do it inside of the group until you discover the Creator there between you and you reach adhesion with him.  The world is small but by you looking and you see Infinity there well not this Infinity of the universe but the worlds, Olamot, all revealed inside of you to the extent you build the correct state, correct relation to the friends and the Creator only in that way and it's written everywhere, however, we need to try more and more to determine it.

S. So with respect to everyone I need to turn to the Creator through thought?

R. You need to build such forms of relations with the friends so that it will be suitable, congruent to the revelation of the Creator.  You're building a network of relations in the group so the Creator can be revealed by this according to the equivalence of form your building such qualities between the  friends that the Creator can already be revealed in a minimal way.  That is the correction that you have to do, and the Creator wants to do it? Because by this you have built Him, you have made him, you have become parts of Him truly. To attain eternity, wholeness perfection this is your spiritual work to build a place for the revelation of the Creator or to build a place such that the form of that place the quality of that place, the essence of that place will be the Creator because without that the Creator does not exist.  From some higher degree which we cannot detect, identify you should build relations between you which should be in order to bestow above your ego then you're building states between you out of the work that you're doing on your ego in order to bestow to one another that the Creator is revealed there, there's some Force, I don't know where it is, on a totally different dimension don't know where, the creator that created beings cannot attain this is how he is revealed, with respect to us He is revealed in such a way come and see BoReh, Creator and outside of that never, is that clear?

S. So we all gather and ask how does it happen?

R. You build such relations such that these relations bring you the form of the Creator. How is this done? Discuss this between you, how should you relate to each other, so that apparently this is the form of the Creator, the image of the Creator and if it doesn't work turn to him.  You're trying to build it but it doesn't work. nice, that is the true prayer and then you will be given an answer and you will see that changing inside of these relations, what comes your way and for sure you'll get all kinds of conflicts and problems.  But it's coming from the Creator in order for you to correct your relations with greater congruence and this is how we advance, left right left right left right this is how we advance.

 

23. S. (1:03:11) Following the example you gave we need to be so contentment upon the Creator I want to ask practical example how it's done let's say right now it's eight 9 p.m. I need to go to bed but I have this urge not too so I have to restrict that desire but I restrict it with the intention where I think about the friends, so I say if I go to sleep too late I won't be alert in the lesson? 

R. I'm not going to tell you anything about this, don't ask such questions.  In each and everything that you do, try to aim it, so that by this you're giving contentment to the Creator, that you want to delight the Creator. Full stop.  Check it yourselves how are you working

 

24. S. (1:04:33) The act of Bereshith, creation, I think it's the most important thing I've learned the meaning of the intention, so the cancellation of the Act of Creation, is there a way in which the Creator will regret what He did?

R I don't understand your Hebrew.

S. Is there a chance to make the Creator regret the act of creation?

R. Not regret, it's according to what you do, the Creator is constant absolute, his desire is to do good to the creation, as much as you adapt yourself to this desire you discover him yes or no all the changes happened to you, there are no changes in the Creator

 

25. S. (1:05:43) What is the act of creation?

R. The Creator created the will to receive and he prepared it in such a way that this will to receive can reach identification with Him with the intention to bestow, that it acquires from the Creator through Prayer by turning to him by asking.

S. The Act of Creation where is it in the spiritual map what we learn?

R. The Act of Creation exists in our will to receive, that's it which is opposite of the Creator and we have to correct it so as to be in order to bestow.

 

26. S. (1:06:36) Why is the spiritual work, why does it seem so annoying, I just don't want it why so simple, why is it hidden?

R. Because we don't want to do it to implement what is required of us and it is natural, it is normal because we only live inside of the will to receive.  We can't understand anything else, so much so that we don't even understand that it is in order to receive it's just the desire until we discover that is all in order to receive, where is that boundless limit where which we can say it's going to be in order to bestow, until we detect this and it's only in the group where I am only working for the sake of the group and not for the sake of myself that I have in the group the difference between where I am and thinking about myself versus the group and thinking about them in a way that is disconnected from myself then out of that I start to receive an impression of what spirituality might be.  What does it mean above reason. that inside of the group I cut in such a way, is it for myself or is it for the friends and then bit by bit more and more I want to shift to move myself inside, seemingly be for the friends, devotion, Soul devotion for the friends and for the Creator.

 

27. S. (1:08:37) Can it be said that my Independence is expressed through my request to the Creator to help me connect to the friends constantly.

R. Yes that's correct

 

28. S. (1:09:03) Rabash wrote the Torah belongs to the Creator what is the relationship between the Torah and the Creator?

R. The Creator is the upper Force, the Torah is the Creator's bestowal or influence on our will to receive in order to correct it so it will be in order to bestow. This is called the Torah, the light in it reforms one, the force that corrects us. You might say it differently that the Torah is our will to receive that the Upper Light influences us, gives this will to receive the intention to bestow. There are many discernments here.

 

29. S. (1:10:10) To give contentment to the Creator through changing our relationships in the ten, so yesterday we had an exercise of relating to the friends the way the Creator relates to them and this actually gives us some air because it's easy to think of how the Creator related to the friends, so is that the right direction to go deeper into that?

R. Yes, yes, it is good

 

30. S. (1:10:53) the only thing that exists right now is the ten so what is meant to happen when I bring contentment to the Creator through the ten?

R. By this you give him contentment, by this you become similar to the Creator and that's why you are called Adam, one who is similar to The Creator by this you discover him according to your equivalence to the Creator you discover him in the same desires In which you were giving him contentment.  Meaning you have a desire you restricted from receiving for yourself you made something out of it to bestow pleasure to the Creator and out of that same desire  you receive a revelation of the Creator and from that desire you build a Partzuf. This means that you discover the Creator it means a Godly part from above that address is in you according to equivalence of form, according how much you become similar to Him.

 

31. S. (1:12:18) The Creator that we discover I discover him in one way and Isaac in a different way, so we don't discover the same thing right?

R. You can't compare this because each one of you exists in a different will to receive

S. And each one feels it's all different right?

R. Explain to me exactly what you feel I'm drinking tea right now, how can I explain to you, even if I will let you taste it, the taste that you feel and that I will have a different taste.  Each one has different qualities therefore we can never discover the same thing rather we discover it in a way that is similar to each other, but all in all we later connect all of our Impressions together into one vessel and we are all in a mutual connection, mixing up with each other.  Well I don't know what this is exactly but then each one of us discovers infinite flavors, in magnitude and richness.

S. But before that before all of that?

R. Before this you cannot compare anything with the others but each one has his own.

S. And the connection between the friends, the love between the friends were talking about that right?

R. Well explain to someone how you love, why are you asking such thing it should be clear to us that no one can bring out whatever he has and implant it in the other but whatever we convey to one another verbally, we're just conveying external impressions.

S. And when I feel that by myself?

R. Well stay by yourself, stay by yourself as much as you're able to convey to the others it's not going to help. Rather you're sharing it in such a way we help each other to achieve states but nevertheless anyone who is what he is attaining inside of his vessels and there's a lot written about it. Go and read with them. 

 

*Excerpt 11 Reader (1:15:08 - 1:16:49)*

32. S. According to the text he writes here, that the act of the beginning of creation is the root of everything that follows so am I understanding correctly, in every desire that is revealed there is a plan that is laid out of time by which the Ratzon has to restrict and this is the Partzuf,

R. And this is considered that not desires are revealed but Reshimot and this Reshimot that appear are the result of the cascading from Ein Sof Infinity from all of the Partzufim and all of the Olamot and all of the Sephirot there for any desire that appears in us already has within it information and data, knowledge about all of the Olamot, world's, however on a tiny scale.  Just like in a drop of semen you have the knowledge, the information about the entire person that will later be born and we'll grow. If you could also check the essence of this drop of semen you would discover there the entire process that he has to go through his whole destiny, his fate, his whole life. You would be able to elicit it from this drop of semen and make a film of what will happen to this person which later on he will have to discover in practice, in actuality, but in potentiality it already exists in the Reshimot which exists in the drop of semen. This is also like with us, if some situation is revealed with us it is a situation and state that we have to discover. We have to care that we have a ten and to draw the reforming light, then it influences the ten and it builds in us a soul, Neshamah, a system in which way does cover our spiritual states. This is how we advance so everything exists, the Reshimot exist, the light that we draw influences the Reshimot, then we by ourselves discover this film and we live it. The more you will discover and in whatever pace you will discover this upper light that will influence the group then the changes in the group will reveal to you the entire spiritual process that you need to go through. You will have there such films, you will see what it will be like.

S. In that spiritual film that we are going to watch in the ten is that the first thing?

R. All of the forms already exist in Reshimot that comes to our world from Ein Sof through all of the world's through all of the states it has all of the information about what we need to realize from below upwards in return all the way to Ein Sof.

 

33. S. (1:20:38) The Reshimot of each person of the ten is a part of the Reshimot of the entire ten....

R. Yes

S. How to work with the Reshimot of the ten?

R. You’ll only get confused. Do what we talked about that, you only desire for love between the friends and you demand for it to happen from the reforming light.  You don't understand yet about the Reshimot, later on you will discover that. For the time being it is just for general knowledge that what you are discovering right now, this is the current state and for the next state you have the residue for which you are inviting the reforming light. 

 

34. S. (1:21:54) Why are we made of so many Reshimot, is this only for us to reach the right prayer to the Creator?

R. We awaken the light with those Reshimot that are in us and then we discover through the influence of the light in the Reshimot it is the way we develop then we discover each time our new form, more and more spiritual. In that form we discover the world and all kinds of changes, now we exist in the smallest egoistic, lowliest Reshimot. We can't see anything we can't even imagine to ourselves the spiritual degree on it's very first level which is 1000000000 times greater than this world. To understand, in awareness, in feeling, in everything, we have no understanding, our relation to this hopefully we will see it and then it will become clear to us, in the meantime.
