Spiritual
movement
means
change
of
form
36. R. Read it again. We'll have to gradually understand that there's a lot of information spiritual movement means a new change of form meaning any change of form in the will to receive over the will to receive this is called movement This is an interesting thing we're not talking about something that we measure ourselves towards externally. The question is, is there anything outside of us? We were in a certain state and that state changed. I had a few elements and factors and now I have come to a new state. Exiting that old state and coming into a new one that is called a movement that's why he says a spiritual movement means a new change of form. We should still scrutinize time and movement that we come across in almost every word that we come across in this wisdom because in Kabbalah we mostly learn about what causes movement.
How do we hasten time? What is time and movement, the two components that we use to discuss life? Indeed you should know that spiritual movement is not like tangible motion from one location to another. Meaning we don't measure ourselves with respect to other places that we go to and then we check that movement from this place to that place. Meaning ,I stay the way I am but the external place that I was in was in this thing and now it's that thing. Which means I measure myself opposite to externality and here in spirituality we measure ourselves toward in internality to the extent that we went through an inner change. We still scrutinize this term of time and space that we come across almost everywhere in this wisdom. You should know that spiritual movement is now like tangible motion from one location to another, externally that is. I remain what I am, and I change my position with respect to some outer things. Rather, it refers to a new form. Meaning how I change within. We denominate each new form by the title movement. I don't even know what changes there are outside or if there is even anything outside. I always measure my inner qualities . Later we discover that there isn't anything outside the human. You can say that there is something called the light of Ein Sof but practically there is nothing. Everything else is included in the person and all the movements happen within us. As it is said one lives within himself. It is that innovation which means the new change of form that occurred in the spiritual unlike it is generally proceeding form in that spiritual. It is regarded as having been divided and distanced from that spiritual and it is considered to have come out with its own name and authority by which it became exactly like a corporeal essence that some parts departed and moved about to a different place. For this reason this new form is referred to as movement , meaning how the spiritual changes in his qualities and accordingly in occupies the external world in a different way but we measure it, the change of form in the spiritual is called the innovation of its form and that is called a spiritual movement and it is all in regards to the inequalities and how they change
37.S. (07.51) The ego doesn't like renewing. It's trying to hold onto its current state. Now the state keeps changing things and keeps renewing . How can I check myself how can a person check himself to words that inner innovation
R. To the extent that my inequalities, especially my attitude to the group, change. How much am I ashamed really ashamed with respect to the 10. I am not exaggerating here because I advance that's what I should be discovering. Not that everything is fine and this is ok no I have to discover things that I haven't seen before as horrible and now I said they are horrible. I'm ashamed and I'm eating myself up. and thinking " why did I do this? I will discover more accurately my actions and my actions towards the 10. That's why I should always try and advance. The more I want to love them in advance and be with them and do all kinds of actions with them and open my heart. I does not need to be seen on the outside but the more I try to be this way towards them internally I will
how much I'm willing to be in connection with them but the more it doesn't have to be shown on the discover myself in movement. What kind of movement? Becoming worse and this is the recognition of my evil and only from that I can come to the states where I can no longer bare that and then I cry out to the Creator. and He will hear my prayer and correct me.
38.S.(10:48) What is the difference between development and movement in spirituality?
R. It is the same thing they are both one of the same. There's no other kind of movement, only development .There is no development of movement that is not towards a greater connection. by which we compose a more complex vessel towards the revelation of the Creator
39: S. (11:46 ) Baal HaSulam says that innovation of form is called movement. What causes that movement, what is the deed that causes that?
R. A change of movement can happen because of an inner cause or an external cause. An inner cause is that I might awaken different changes in states in the 10 and then by changing the relationships between us , I bring about our general change in movement . That is the only way that I can measure something and say that we are moving and advancing or by and external cause change meaning that receive a general or individual wakening , for some of for one and that is how
S. So the intention is the change of the form, what is the intention?
R. According to the new form we will have no intentions. Everything will be new, the Reshimot. If we want to be in a more connected state in the 10, then we awaken the more corrected states. From here until the final correction there is a series of broken states. ahead of us. The more we are drawn to connection the more we are open to ourselves to broken states so it turns out that if I do good and I want to advance to its connection so on and what do I get? Each time? We need to understand what happens. On the way to the bad state. meaning to understand why it happens on the way towards the end of correction we discover each and every broken State and then the one who is greater than his friend his inclination is greater than himself and he becomes worse and worse to the point where that these bad states give us the fuel for correction and that's how we advance.
S. What should we do?
R. Keep doing this the righteous will walk in the path of the creator and the evil fall. You have to correct these states by connecting righteousness. You will keep on walking in and if you're evil you will fail and this failure adds more data to your until ultimately you get up and do it.
S. Our work is by overcoming always?
R. I need to overcome and be happy about overcoming. I need to show the creator how much I accept these states that is opening for me that he prepared for me that I'm not resisting it that accept it and I am happy with it and how do we correct we organize ourselves and ask him to correct them so there is work between us and him
40. S. (18:18) The evil is revealed in the 10 and the10 wants to take that person out of that 10 and so we are missing the fact that there's evil that is revealed and we need to overcome what do we need in order for holding on to connect
R. I don't know you need to sit down and check whether the evil that it causes in the 10 is really something you can overcome or you can because if you can't overcome it then you need to get him out of the group because it's for yours and his benefits but you need to check whether you've really does prevent connection in the 10. If that's the case then you have to expel him out of your 10. These are spiritual laws, there's nothing we can do about it, there is a law of equivalence of form and there's nothing we can do about it that you will be correcting yourselves and also him have to follow the laws
41.S.( 18:31 ) What should we do if the friend should really be ashamed about his deeds? What you told them before you should really feel the gap and guilt about it so what happens if this friend stops and starts to mourn his state?
R. You have to discuss it between yourselves and not let the person sit and it is on flesh you just have to do it together as a unit in order to reach the corrected soul it doesn't matter which state is because it's a state that belongs to him he created that state he made it happen it is all caused by the Creator to begin with so he has to accept that the Creator brought this upon him and he needs to be happy about it because it's advancing him that's it the more it is possible to do it out of connection the more you skip this tendencies to cry about it into someone
S. How is the evil revealed in my attitude toward the 10 how it is expressed?
R. By this regard, when I disregard that in the 10 in the connection between us that kind of behavior
42. S.(20:29) It seems that we can measure everything by becoming more and more evil and these evil thoughts would not always show us the shame. How can we make sure the shame will appear and how can we use this evil?
R. Shame helps us advance quickly and without shame we couldn't reach the first restriction. and if a person feels this shame that means he will be awakened to actions and you shouldn't sit there and eat on his flesh and be sorry.
43. S. ( 21:37) Baal HaSulam explains that movement is towards a new form. Does that mean we get a new perception?
R. Off course a new form means the new perception for sure
44.S. (22:07) How does an individual movement in my vessel affect the general Kli of Adam Ha Rishimot?
R. It does influence of course Do individual as much as you seem personal to yourself and not affecting the general. You are the little change you do that changes everything.
45. S. ( 22:51) What is a form in spirituality?
R. A desire of that form meaning desires, qualities that appear in every shape.
S. Is that intention as well?
R. It's' not on intentions it's also desires that appears with the records.

Item 34 (24:53 )
spirit time meaning something
47.R. Meaning we have many states and if these states changing then we can speak about time or motion, renewing a force a process it's like frames on a film that's how it is in spirituality spiritual time means a certain number of new changes of form that stems from one another former and latter meaning cause and consequence I don't think it's very difficult.

48.R. That is for humans the way it is that motion inside me that something turns inside my mind and my heart and according to that and I feel that something is a cause and effect something is going by according to that I measure my life that in a movement and also the outside movement

49.S. ( 29:01) What is the essence of the intention to be in the change of form?
R. With the intention together that is called that we're going back to the root
50 .S. 29:39) Where are the causes and consequences before we are in spirituality?
R. Before we are in spirituality it doesn't really matter because it's all measured according to cause and consequence because this is how we measure everything in life and that will to receive. He's not corrected and that's not the ideal so it grasps all the actions that comes towards him as changes and it counts these changes according to former and ladder cause and effect it gives you the sensation of time this is how we perceive reality from our will to receive which is in a lack of correction but once it is corrected in the will to receive. We wouldn't feel time, what's former and later because from the later there is no difference there is no difference. One is corrected and the other is corrected. That's a hundred percent and the other one's 100%. There is no difference between them and then you feel that you are in the world of infinity above time above space above everything and it all disappeared towards you that's how it happens in someone who correct himself
S. This is in the final correction or in every degree.
R. Every state that you will feel it already at the final degree.
S. You have reality, time is something that we share, we have a general clock.
R. We share the will to receive and where have individual sensations in the feeling because it is clear to you that our egotistical natures they know what going on and they have some sort of an agreement between them a few things that we exist in but it helps us reach a state that we don't understand each other. We don't want to agree, we don't want to connect but we must reach a different level of partnership instead of receiving bestowing it's not enough in order to receive. we've got enough we can't reach it to through it too connection is not enough according to one feel bad and the other feels ok it's not enough the plus is here the minus is here we can't agree upon it until we are above this parallelization the plus and minus we reach a higher realization that in him we want to exist we want to be a bowl of these states that we connect the shattered vessels the main thing is how we connect how we connect the collective the general. The Creator is inclusive we start connecting into a sphere, a circle and then we can start the terminal again that everything is under the same mutual definitions
51.S. ( 34:17) There is a state of I've been blocked in regards to this excerpt, the concept in spirituality somehow belongs to my life and how do I belong to the 10th and to the connection in the 10 can you say if there's room for this question?
R. If you are in a state that you want to connect with your 10 so you can arise from corporeal definitions to spiritual definitions Try and speak about this between you and see how much it starts to become useful. Alive that you can change you can move things around the time is in time to places and place it's all in the inner definitions of the 10 the way changes but if you can disconnect the connection so again you will stay in your ego and each and everyone of you and you can't is a felt above your limitation. It's interesting as much as we can raise the spirituality above time in space and motion cause an effect which are corporeal and spiritual as much as you can see that limit that you're either in this one or in the other one try and you'll feel it a bit don't be afraid to be confused all the confusions bring a good summary of time, space .movement .spiritual movement it helps us to advance to understand the right definitions.
S. The dialogue that we're going to have after the lesson as the gathering and we're going to build some discussion there is going to be some talk about the goal in the prayer about the personal order during the day how do I need to how does it need to happen
R. I can't give you a private lesson now. I can't tell you how to do everything. Every group according to what they think is good they have to do. I'm not determining what you are educated enough and you need to understand that not according to your brain but according to this advice.
52. S. ( 37:46) How do the inner movements work in the sense of the external reality?
R. We by our inner qualities change our external reality there is no external reality outside of us is the light of infinity and you are in a qualities that draw these background your world so it all depends on how you can organize your inequalities in a way that you'll see the world creation doing it all It depends on you the world of infinity also if you reach it you're you reach your final connection no problem. We are this picked reality. There is no reality besides us, only the creator. We can draw on this to wipe the screen and your reality and that reality is your inner qualities. It's like taking black ink and drawing on the page. You draw everything with your ego and if you are advancing towards infinity then everything becomes white
53.S. (40:28 ) Let's say there is a coarseness and then tension changes from reception to bestowal and the 10 is either I agree with them or not is that correct?
R. Yes it's correct it's not always 100% but for now it is correct.
54. S. ( 41:18 )What is this system called the brain, the imagination or the polished mirror that he refers to it like that that the states are depicted in this world.
R. Yeah we have that feeling in this world and we split into time and motion and we give it all sorts of values and according to that we live but it seems as if we living in external reality you see all sorts of things outside of you and you can imagine to yourself that these things are in your brain and this had to is only inside your brain you think it's here in front of you.
S. That's what I'm asking about where we are in this system, where is that brain?
R. This system is the will to receive that you will eventually see it that way but except for that there is nothing and all the changes to different values of the will to receive that's the only thing. We can imagine to ourselves that's why as much as it is in order to bestow these desires resembling the Creator and they will gradually make the will to receive in order to disappear and you'll see that the upper force fields the entire reality and there's nothing besides it.
55. S. ( 43:06 )We have a friend in the 10 that decided that it's time to die we don't know how to help him how can we help him because we have exhausted or different attempts to help him
R. I know this friend is a hypochondriac but that's how he wants to think that's what he wants that's what he cries about it's going to be the opposite it won't be so easy for him he is not going to succeed in getting rid of these life so don't pay attention to it too much you have a good group.
You have people from all sides there are people that enjoy life and they are people who crying and suffer I don't think it's very bad he's also my friend I know him for decades everything's ok everything's ok you only need to exchange the values a bit a bit of connection with the Creator is worth more than everything in this world that is what you are liking it will come it will come I'll see you in a good way even though you went through a lot is still inside your group and keep of it
56. S. ( 45:34)I would like to clarify the concept of distance of separation incorporated it's two different object and here we talking about 1 quality added to another quality so the there's an integration of the other the previous one in the new one is it like that
R. No,that said like that in the world to receive there's many Reshimot in one Reshimot we started with the will to receive and then in that will to receive a second Reshimot starts formulating and gradually the first desire brings gives birth to a second desire and the desired that's born is distance from the one that created it and so this is how you become in multiple desires and reach the correction that's it.
57. S. ( 47:08 ) Question about the congress this is from our 10 in less than a week the congress will begin we are in charge of tomorrow's YH we want to get an advice from you how do we internally prepare in the 10 and go to an attack with the whole world clear vessel and get the best result and bring them into the Creator what's your advice to us?
R. First if I advance a good advancement is it still can be more but it's it's a good advancement in many tender there is a established connection slightly starting correctly in the lessons and between the lessons there is still a lot to do but something has been at least done that's why I hope the preparation for the Congress including the meetings you'll be having until the beginning of the Congress. In it try to speak about how you can be more and more connected because we lack the connection between the tens no 10 will be able to advance correctly because that's a condition that we must as much as possible be drawn to this general vessel of first Adam so let's just speak how we can connect between us all and in this way advance till the end of correction we are in states that are very beneficial for our connection and advancement we are in a state that is very beneficial corrections and you'll see as much as the Creator world organise states and temps towards correction and connection so come on everything is going to be ok just keep going every day keep going turn it into a routine according to time we have to study we have to speak read an article another thing speak about what you are doing did you check other don't forget about Envy that really helps advancing and and that that's how we will move forward and you can see about me and I'm happy about what is going on you see I am not getting this paired what this pair can you reach such a group advancing it's a miracle between all these evil forces really it is beautiful let's listen to the summer of the lesson again.
