Part 1:

Faith Above Reason - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #28

1. Rav’s Introduction:(00:20) Yes, we are advancing in the same topic, faith above reason. This is practically describing and expressing the desire to receive a spiritual level in our existence in our relationship with each other and thus we continue; there is nothing else. If there is a goal before me to reach faith above reason, the force of bestowal, that thanks to it I come closer to Dvekut with the Creator then there is nothing more important. It is basically the same goal that exists in front of the person who exists in this world and wants to sustain himself, so let's read.

Reading 28 (01:45) “The blow that one receives from the Creator..”

2. R. (02:10) Meaning that when we have no taste in the work, that is the time when we are able to advance in faith above reason; this is how the Creator is giving us an opportunity.

Reading on (02:30)

3. R. (04:07) I think it is clear what is written.

4. S. (04:18) What does it mean that the righteous revokes the decree? I did not have forces suddenly I have forces, some other energy on a different level or something?

R. I would say this,the Creator by giving the blow, meaning posing some disturbance to the person by that he forces the person to stand up and strengthen and make a step forward and that means that by the blow, the Creator heals and therefore we have to see all our states as such that advance us towards G’Mar Tikkun.

5. S. (05:17) We are asking for help from the Creator in this situation and we receive it only through the environment or is there another way through dissemination,maybe?

R.No,in all directions we can receive help from The Creator from all directions. It does not matter of course it is important but if I ask in whatever manner, then in all of those manners more or less I also receive support from the Creator.

6. S. (06:10) What actually is pure faith without request for oneself?

R. Pure faith meaning that it requires no support, meaning that a person wants to live in the light of Hassidim, in the light of faith without any strengthening of his reason or anything; to just simply want to live as if between heaven and earth.

S. What is this appeal? I can’t actually go to the Creator? I need this constant connection with the Creator to ask from Him all the time to come higher to the next degree. What is this appeal?

R. I do not understand the question.

S. He writes here that I need to be in pure faith and that is called without any plea for myself?

R. Yes it is without for himself.

7. S. (07:17) TWhen all kinds of states come, do we have to come to conclusions?

R. That depends on the state of the person and the matter of the question that comes to us from above. I can’t just say but we have to first try to detect that it is coming from the Creator and that it is coming in order for us to achieve a more efficient connection with the friends in order to make a step forward and in that step forward that connection with the Creator will become clearer to him.

8. S. (08:19) What work exactly are we talking about here?

R. The work is that on top of all those problems and difficulties, these exercises that the Creator does with us all our life are just exercises from Him whether we understand or not that’s how it is. So, we need to try to respond correctly on top of all those disturbances and the right response is always towards the Creator. That as a result of the correct action, each time we make another step towards him more and more.

Reading 29 (09:23) “A person must believe above reason..”

9. R. (09”36) Even though he doesn't see that either himself or the entire world, but he accepts it above reason that this is how it is.

Reading on (09:48)

Reading 29 again (11:47)

10. S. (13:56) Here it talks about both right and left come one after the other?

R. He can’t advance on one leg.

11. S. (14:21) In the text I see that I have an inner preference for the right line. I do not want to be rejected. The question is whether this feeling is the will to receive? I wanted to clarify that.

R. Yes, it is always coming from the will to receive.

12. S. (15:17) What is the meaning that the left is the cause that the right would be built upon faith above reason?

R. Because the left awakens the next state; it awakens the person. The left rejects and the person feels this rejection, these rejections stronger than when he is being drawn.

S. So the right is not the whole state because it is written that he's in faith above reason?

R. Yes, but it is on the way, that’s why he doesn’t appreciate it that much. He has to build the right attitude to the right line.

13. S. (16:15) You said that you cannot stand on one leg. What does it mean to stand on two legs at the same time? Does it mean to reject and adapt at the same time? What does that mean at the same time?

R. Yes, that he uses both that he uses the two forces correctly:both the force of rejection and the force of attraction.

S. How can we be in two states at the same time in rejection and attraction at the same time. How to do this?

R. Why don’t you think that rejection is closeness, is getting closer? What makes it hard for you to accept rejection as getting closer? Rabash would give an example, I don't exactly remember how it was about but that Baal HaSulam gave some small piece of bread during the meal and he's always saying to the others, that to you I do not give. To the next one he says take it. The third one to take it and you I do not give it, and so on. So it turns out that by rejecting and not giving to the person he singles out a person showing how close to him that person is how important that person is. So rejection is also a unique relation that a person can feel from the Creator.

14. S. (19:09) In the text it says that we have to be thankful for the right and pray for the left as you said rejection is a very special state so shouldn't we also be thankful for the left since either way we are working with the right or left we are still working with the Creator?

R. That is already serious work that is against the desire. Now, like we learn that there is work with the will to receive and also in order to bestow and there is working with the Aviut.

15. S. (20:13) How does wholeness appear as he writes in the beginning?

R. The wholeness of man and the wholeness of the whole world is when the person feels and sees that there is only good in the world. There is one force that rules the world: The Good That Does Good and a person feels it in all his approaches to see the world.

16. S. (20:50) To what extent is the engagement in the right let’s say external actions in caring for the friends-how important are they to come to the internal correction?

R. Being engaged in the right is a must, that is the main thing in the work. That we need to bring to the right all of our discernments and feelings in mind and heart as we call it.

17. S. (21:30) How much does the person need to give to the left to develop inside of him or the moment he can move to the right he moves?

R. The left has to develop to the extent that it is being developed from above and therefore we only need to detect the left and bring it under the right.

18. S. (22:15) What does it mean that the person engages on the left? That's how he starts writing. What does it mean to be engaged on the left?

R. To be engaged on the left means that I detect all the things that seem to me as imperfections whether it is in me, in the world, in the group and I sort out these things that are incomplete and gradually and I try to bring closeness to the Creator upon them and in such a way I can attain the Creator in a more complete manner because specifically through the incompleteness I find completeness.

S. What is it to try to bring them nearer to the Creator?

R. That if the negative discernments together with these negative discernments I try to recognise the leadership of the Creator, understand it and feel it in a more complete manner, like the light excels from darkness.

S. So, is it correct to say that the state of a person whether in the right or in the left state is if someone looks at him from the outside, it doesn't change? It’s just the attitude of that person that changes to that state?

R. Of course the world continues as it does. Everything only happens in order to teach us how to know the Creator's attitude to us. Other than that there is no other goal in creation.

S. How important is it that a person knows how much is in the left before he moves to the right or is it not important?

R. This we do not know and we do not understand and it does not belong to us. We only need as much as possible to place the right over the left, so the right covers the left.

S. How is it possible, maybe through the right? Maybe I ask differently. Where does the group exist in the right, if the ten is with me in the right it seems that without the ten I cannot at all be in the right. So, even though I do not really understand how to do it . Maybe I managed to ask.

R. Maybe I will also ask. The fact that I try to position the right over the left by that I sort out the right relationship of the Creator towards creation. I essentially justify Him. We ourselves belong to the left, the created beings, human beings belong to the left. When we try to raise that left to the right by that we justify the Creator who did everything through the right, through Hesed. I was not really able to say this clearly. Ask again.

S. What in the action that I or we do together can intensify the right actually- this Hesed?

R. To see through all the things that I am put through. That I exist in a holistic world, There Is None Else Besides Him and He Is The Good That Does Good and this is how the world itself behaves. There is no change in it from the beginning to the end of creation and the fact that I see it opposite whether in part or in full it is only in order for me to demand a change of my perception, of my observation, of my attitude to the world and the Creator through the group, through the study this is our work. My correction is correcting my perception. That’s all.

S . This change in my attitude towards this reality that I was beforehand in the left -this change of attitude is it something I do or is it something from above I receive?

R.No,of course you receive it from above but it is based on your demand.

S. So, right is I want to be on the right. I am not in the right but I want to be in the right. And then from above I receive this change?

R. Yes, but why do you want to be on the right because you are in the group.

19. S. (28:26) Only in this work can we rise above reason?

R. Yes. That is why we go through ups and downs, ups and downs. We always change our state.

S. What is the work, when he has taste in the work, when he feels that he's doing something with himself?

R. You have to get closer to others and cling to others and embrace the others and together you find how to advance because certainly there is work to do in the connection. They are not in G’mar Tikkun already.

S. And from the connection between them can they rise above reason or does there have to be a descent?

R. No, no need for a descent. If they want to achieve greater connection, more connection they are already in the right state and then they can detect what they are missing.

20. S. (29:32) We are being taught to hate egoism and to hate the left line. For me to receive the left line is to receive the wholeness of None Else Besides Him. So, how to unite all of this hatred and reception?

R. You have to understand exactly what it is you need to hate and what does it mean,hate? Hate means that you do not want to use your egoistic force which separates you from the others and from the Creator. So, you hate, reject this force, this quality inside of you and so the more you reject this force of hatred of rejection, the ego, then accordingly from the other side you move closer to the others and the Creator.

21. S. (30:48) Is engaging with the left mean, discovering it inside ourselves?

R. Yes, of course, of course. We see everything only inside ourselves, always.

22. S. (31:22) I want to understand the usage of the will to receive to reach bestowal and in order to bestow. It is like using a knife to reconnect the slice of bread to the loaf of bread? How can we do such things? It is not understood.

R. I don't want to use your smart examples, you understand. I did not see these examples anywhere because you are talking about something that is already complete that cannot be corrected. So, do not be smart and do not offer such examples to yourself because it's not going to help you to reach any solutions.

S. How to use a certain thing to receive its opposite goal?

R. This is how you use it. It is very simple, exactly just like that. That even though there is a force of rejection in front of you you want to ask from above the force of connection.

S. These are like two different things?

R. Yes, it is different but so what if they are different it does not matter. Listen, you have Who to turn to and Who to ask from and what to ask for. Therefore, the force of rejection that is being shown to you, it is actually the force of progress for you. How do we give a gift to a child in the form of broken blocks or puzzle pieces so that he puts it together?

23. S. (33:30) What does gradually mean, when you say for all of the imperfect,gradually?

R. We cannot yell and cry that we want G’mar Tikkun for real. It is good to cry like that but this is not realistic because we do not really know what it is right now. We certainly cannot describe it correctly. Therefore, all our prayers are requests, demands even. They should be based on where we are: meaning that we take them from the current state and when we assemble the current state to a higher, more corrected state, then we understand where we need to change something and how do we advance in a way that it is a bit more and a bit more and this is how we move forward.

24. S. (35:18) We want to work with the left line and the right line. What is the place within me that allows me to work with the left and right line?

R. It is your will to receive. Your will to receive is built in such a way that it wants to work and it can work with both right and left, with both reception and bestowal. Most important for it is to receive to acquire. If it comes from receiving or bestowing it does not matter. What matters is what it ultimately gets.

S. What do I have to say as a prayer? What do I want to receive in order to serve the Creator?

R. To always have a prayer for help even if you do not know exactly what you are missing, what state you wish to achieve. Still, a cry for help, just like a little child that is always looking and waiting for support. Similarly we should also relate to the Creator even if we do not understand exactly what He wants from us.

25. S. (37:13) It is written that the state of faith shows how distant the person is from the spiritual work and from the Creator. Is it correct to think that when a person approaches the left line with gratitude, then we catch that snake by the head and not the tail?

R. Yes, you can say that.

S. So, my second question. At the end of the excerpt he is writing that we need to be thankful for the right and still pray for the left and if we replace and if I am on the left and I am thanking the Creator and then I am in the right line and in prayer, then that would be the prayer of many?

R. No, don’t make up things. You will be in trouble from all this wisdom.

S. But it turns out that gratitude is in the left?

R. It cannot be the person cannot be in gratitude on the left. Accept it as such for now and later you will understand.

26. S. (37:07) Is it correct to say that the only thing that is missing is my own correction, everything else is perfect only me, essentially I am the one who needs to correct myself?

R. It is correct and everything that you see in the world around you is your own replica.

27. S. (39:41) If the pain in life comes to us only from the left line or also from the work we do on the right?

R. Even the right line also gives the person various pressures and so on. The person needs to relate to the right and left dynamically. I would say in dynamic discernments of sorts.

28. S. (40:36) The three components to the question. This work between the left and the right, it only happens in the ten as such, or also just within yourself?

R. Also in the ten and also inside the person but a person needs to be in a ten. Otherwise he won’t have sufficient details,data, in order to arrange the left and the right to establish this map that stands before him.

S. So at some point we come to a common state of gratitude and a common state of prayer?

R. Yes, of course. Not only a common prayer but it will be truly as one man in one heart.

S. Finally, a friend from Russia tried to ask about gratitude and prayer on the right and the left. Now this state of gratitude is that both on the deficiency that you find in the left line and that because you are experiencing that,it brings you over to the state of right where you feel this gratitude? Yes or no?

R. Yes, that’s for sure. I am happy that you are asking.

29. S. (42:52) A question regarding the preparation for the Congress. The article says that on the left he has to give prayer to the Creator. So do we need to be in constant prayer in the left or is prayer in the right? What is the deficiency in Lishma if it comes from the left?

R. Both from the left and from the right we have what to add together and to join together in order to come to a complete prayer. A complete prayer cannot be without the left, otherwise what would you ask for and you can ask what you are asking with, what force you are asking? Meaning both this and that has to be in some balanced way and that’s it. Now how to join it correctly, left and right, that is the middle line we will learn that soon. But for the time being we learn once with this and once with that. But how to join them so we would be in both, aimed towards the goal? That we are yet to learn and to feel. The main thing is to reveal, to reveal.

30. S. (44:57) I heard you talk about the difficulty on the left line and I understand this well but I also heard you talking about difficulty on the right line. Can you explain what is the difficulty on the right line, what kind of difficulty is that?

R. That I need to place Hassadim over Hochma. Imagine to yourself the extent in which you need to be in bestowal more than your inner drive towards reception, your inner urges. That’s not simple at all.

31. S. (46:00) Good morning and good luck in this work for everyone. If on the left line we raise a prayer and in the right line we praise, we are grateful, then it turns out that the prayer only happens when there is suffering or a sense of lack. So a person should understand that he’s now advancing on the left line because he feels suffering only this way?

R. No, no, no. A person cannot advance if it comes from suffering, that’s not correct from its root. He advances toward the Creator? You can’t advance to the Creator through suffering. If you begin to justify it and cover it with the quality of love then you can advance, otherwise you simply suffer, you’re in torment and you don’t advance. Because this is contradicted to the work, opposite the Creator. The Creator is good that does good, he loves and bestows love to everyone and you want to advance to Him through the gap between you, through suffering? It will never happen.

32. S. (47:56) What is it about hatred to the evil, that without it we can’t come closer to the Creator?

R. Because to the extent in which you have a rejection towards the evil, to that extent you distance yourself from it and come closer to the Creator.

33. S. (48:20) How to properly incorporate with the friend’s questions? How to hear them without criticism?

R. By you disconnecting from yourself and incorporating with the friends, this is the best.

34. S. (48:46) I have heard that we can advance towards above reason only when we have no taste in the work, I also know that we should always be happy in the work. How do we settle this, or is it in different vessels?

R. By our efforts we will find a way. I'm not giving you the solution because you need to find it on your own.

35. S. (49:20) In the left line we detect lack of wholeness both in myself and in the group, that lack of wholeness pushes us to correct it in the group like a hole in the boat. Can we determine on the right line the wholeness of the Creator before we fix those holes?

R. I do not think it will ever possible to do, no. Because how are we shutting these holes on the side of the ship? Only with the perfection of the Creator, with the wholeness of the Creator.

Reading 30 (50:13)

36. S. (52:06) Should a prayer come from the left line?

R. The prayer should be from the heart.

S. So half an hour day I have to clarify the left line and thus engage in prayer all day?

R. The prayer can be 24 hours a day and it is divided into requests and praises, gratitude And it is best to constantly be in prayer.

37. S. (52:50) So day and night need to be equal, not that the right is more than the left?

R. Let’s say it’s correct.

S. So why do we learn that the right needs to be more than the left and to bestow on the right?

R. Then we’re learning incorrectly.

S. I just don’t understand what he writes here.

R. What he writes, he’s telling you that you always need to be in prayer either for gratitude or for request, for all that you can possibly arrange your attitude towards the Creator, that's it.

38. S. (53:38) You said we need to be need to be grateful on the right and pray on the left. Does this prayer have to be above exiting myself and achieving altruistic perception? What is the real demand here?

R. Nearing through all the world to the Creator, that needs to be our prayer.

39. S. (54:36) You said that our problem is to replace, to change our perception. So the whole problem is that I think this life was given for me and the truth is that life is to benefit the Creator.

R. Well all together, it’s supposed to be the same thing.

40. S. (55:18) What is the difference between faith above reason and seeing that there is None Else Besides Him?

R. Faith above reason is a quality that is revealed within a person and None Else Besides Him is already the perception of reality a person reveals. These are two different things but in actuality each supports the other, is close to the other. What do we need? We need to come to a state in which we understand that first of all there is None Else Besides Him, that in everything we feel the Creator is and He actually stabilizes our perception. Meaning what I see, what I feel, what I breathe, what I taste, it is all arranged for me by the Creator. He is inside the will to receive of the person and stabilizes for a person the filling of all of his desires.

S. When you feel there’s None Else Besides Him how is it possible to work on the connection and not just be in a state when there is nothing else to do? How do you add? When you feel that there is None Else Besides Him how can you add to connection because then everything seems whole and there is nothing to add. How can you add when you feel that everying comes from Him?

R. This is a problem, she is really asking a very serious question that is asked by all the Kabbalists. That if the Creator is revealed and we discover wholeness then we have nothing to do. Meaning that’s the true blow that the Creator brings to a person, and then what remains for a person to do? Then we start to discover that therefore we have friends and everyone is in different states and our states are as a result of the shattering and that’s what the Creator specifically cared for in the shattering of the vessel, that we would be in an imbalalced state between us. And we will constantly be in this imbalance and then we will have to balance ourselves. Meaning each will feel the other and when we stand in some place in which there is constant motion and the movements depend on one another and on the Creator, only in such we can be saved from death, from the blows.

41. S. (59:39) What are those external ones that we notice when we work together with the friends in the ten?

R. I did not understand the question. The external ones that are outside of the ten? What is he asking?

S. He’s asking about the gripping of the external ones. His question is in the text we understand that the external ones refers to the gripping of the external ones, so he's asking if we are in a state of connection with the ten what kind of gripping of the external ones can happen?

R. The external ones actually grip onto the place where there's no connection between us, this is where they grab us.

42. S. (01:01:12) If we are emotional beings then ultimately it turns our that whatever I receive is what I feel in my will to receive, what I received from the Creator. So it turns out that I am only praying for myself, no?

R. I didn’t understand you.

S. If any feeling that I get from the Creator through the left or the right it doesn't matter, but it’s my feeling and then I produce a prayer, so am I not really praying for myself to feel better?

R. That is before you arrange yourself, yes. That’s the natural response of a person. And later you nevertheless understand that there's a purpose of life, a purpose of creation, the group, the friends, etc. Why was that all given to you? So that you will arrange your place nicely. Nicely is considered in faith above reason where certainly, naturally, within you it won’t come from anywhere. You won’t have desires and thoughts about giving, connection, etc, they won’t come in your foundation. Then it turns out that you begin to awaken yourself differently.

S. So how from the prayer, basically from working only on feeling myself how can I achieve a prayer for the friends, for what is outside of me?

R. Where does it come? From from the shattering. Therefore at the beginning of creation we are one vessel and later we break and are incorporated in one another and then we have the possibility to awaken one another, even specifically in the time when we’re shattered, if that’s what you’re asking.

S. I’m asking how from only feeling, it doesn't matter what I receive but only feel from within my feeling. The question is do I begin to feel within my feeling the others or do I already exit myself? How is it? I’m not sure if I was able to explain it.

R. I didn’t understand. You feel within your will to receive. Your desire is made of many desires. To the extent in which you arrange these desires correctly then more and more you come closer to the desire of Adam HaRishon or the desire of the Creator.

S. So my desire is included in everyone's desire to begin with?

R. Well of course because you’ve been through the shattering.

43. S. (01:04:49) How to always maintain the desire to connect to the Creator?

R. That’s through the connection with the friends. Who is the Creator? There is no Creator, there is no Creator without the created being. You need to try and connect with the friends and then in the connection between you you need to come to such a state, such a feeling in which there is something common between you, and that commonality will be revealed as the Creator, come and see, Boreh.

44. S. (01:05:57) How to consciously arrange this right and left in a way that speak of the correction? For the first time in my life I feel compassion for another human being and I remember saying for the first time this particular article ‘The Creator is high and the Low Will See’, I kept saying that I felt like this. How do we consciously get to this point where we speak of the correction because it feels like a blind person suddenly receives their sight, that’s how I felt when I felt that compassion for another human being. I don’t know how this thing was arranged for me to get to this point where I felt that me and this person where the same and I could feel their pain as if that pain was mine?

R. Understand that both the left and the right come from the same source and only in order to teach us does it split into two. And we need to attribute it all to the one Creator, that there’s None Else Besides Him and then in such a matter they will connect in us left and the right, and we'll be as one. Let's start with that and we’ll see how it leads us to the one source.

45. S. (01:08:14) When you are in the left there is a new awareness and this whole awareness over time gets blurry. How to hold on to this new awareness that was received by the left line?

R. I don’t think that we need to sustain ourselves specifically in the left or specifically in the right. We need through the two of them to adhere to the central goal the Creator Himself who is the foundation, the source of these states, left and right as it splits in us. So let's try from all the states we go through to always be connected between us and to Him, aimed towards Him.

46. S. (01:09:34) You gave before an example that rejection can also be nearing, closeness. So how can you measure what is the left line and what is the right line in the work?

R. The right line is what brings us closer and the left line is what rejects us. This is how it’s written, the left rejects and the right aducts. It is first written about the left that it rejects, that’s where we start and then the right brings near.

47. S. (01:10:29) You said that you always need to be in this unbalanced state and we still have to long for balance, maybe not in ourselves but all of us together to bring the world to balance ultimately?

R. That's right.

48. S. (01:11:13) Only after we work on the left line and the right line and completely nullify ourselves then we ask for the friends?

R. No, we can always ask for the friends, we can always ask for the friends no matter what state we’re in.

S. But I heard that that if we don’t discover the shattering we can’t have an honest request.

R. No, no, no. Try to ask for the friends in each and every state.

49. S. (01:12:02) If we achieve a certain wholeness in the ten, we feel this drop of connection how do we advance, how do we look for deficiencies? Through integration with the friend's lacks?

R. God forbid, we never seek deficiencies, moreover not in friends, on the contrary.

S. No it's not what I meant. On the way to incorporate with the friends we look for what we can add in that, in our connection?

R. Yes, that is connect.

S. And also through dissemination right?

R. Yes, also in dissemination.

50. S. (01:13:25) If I connect to ten in a correct and full way I stop seeing flaws in our connection or I see them and I raise them above reason?

R. If I connect to the ten I see in a complete, good way that the Creator is in the ten and that He is managing it and awakening in us all kinds of negative states in order to advance us. This is why I no longer attribute negative states and forces to the friends as I see that they are all from the Creator.

51. S. (01:14:40) About what was asked before, this wholeness, what can we can add to it? I remember you said that it relates to our upper state.

R. Yes we will discover more and more how we can hold each other because no one can strengthen himself and bring himself into balance. There is a verse, a prisoner cannot bring himself out of imprisonment we can only help others do that. When we learn that we’ll be certain that our ship is sailing in the right direction, the purpose of creation.

52. S. (01:15:47) To what extent does participating in dissemination and group work strengthen the construction of the prayer towords the Creator?

R. I can’t even measure that but it seems to me that it’s 100%. The prayer of an individual doesn’t reach the Creator, only the prayer of the public, the prayer in public. That’s why you should try to be as connected as possible. It’s not that you have to stand all over the world and pray together, this means that in every morning lesson just like we are now we unite our hearts, our desires, our purposes, our demands to the Creator, between us and to the Creator as much as possible. And this is how we come to state where we elevate the deficiencies, we elevate the prayer, the requests and this is basically our force of advancement. I really hope that you will start feeling the response for what you are all doing very soon.

53. S. (01:17:52) You mentioned the deficiency and the wholeness. When we can hold the deficiency and the wholeness together does this give us the sensation of joy?

R. Happiness comes to us from being able to present room for correction to the Creator. It is like a child that comes to his mother and cries saying that he cannot arrange something but he really wants it. So he subjegates himself to his mother, he asks her and she does it for him, let's say she putting the building blocks together. And then he’s happy, he calms down and he already has a strong Reshimot from not being able to to organize things. And now thanks to his mother or in our case we say thanks to his father, the Creator he has reached some degree of wholeness.

S. And is that the state of being in the middle line?

R. Yes of course. When we come to the solution for us it's considered the middle line.

54. S. (01:19:57) We wanted to ask about walking between the two lines. How can we advance through this walk on the right and left, the drawing and pulling of rejection?

R. Specifically when each one is in a different state compared to others and you’re trying to perform corrections, it turns out it’s organized from above in the source of the group, that you complement each other, this is how you’re built to begin with according to your inner nature. This is why even though it seems to you that you’re in all kinds of different states unrelated to each other, don’t worry that’s incorrect. Ultimately it all comes to one result, that you will be connected and in that connection you will discover the Creator.

55. S. (01:21:55) It is written in excerpt 29 that we need to believe in faith above reason that a person is in wholeness and the entire world as well. How to relate that humanity is suffering from war and we are relating to the suffering of people?

R. We are talking about the perception of above reason, not within reason, above reason, right? We above reason should accept the whole world as being in a corrected state. On the other hand we should see ourselves in a corrupt state.

56. S. (01:22:54) I heard you say that we need to be in prayer all the time. Does not it strengthen the left line and distance the right line?

R. No, there can be gratitude and request, there are many kinds of prayers. The connection with the Creator, the address to the Creator should be there all the time.

57. S. (01:23:23) The feeling of gratitude is a result of a prayer. Is it a sign that the deficiency of the left line is covered with the right line?

R. The feeling of gratitude, why should that be a deficiency?

S. The feeling of gratitude is a result of prayer, is it a sign that the deficiency of the left is covered with the right?

R. Yes, we can say that this is so. That if one covers the other they reach some kind of wholeness.

58. S. (01:24:11) How does a person succeed to move from the left to the right when his nature is self-love and he has no Masach yet?

R. That’s something that he will not succeed in. He can only do that if he is in a group and the whole group along with him organizes, otherwise he won’t.

59. S. (01:24:56) Why do I need to know whether it’s the left line or the right line? There is a state of gratitude, defficiency, the attempt to connect to the Creator, to bring it to the Creator and so on. When I'm walking I'm not thinking about stepping left, stepping right.

R. You got used to not feeling but actually you you should try to recall how you started to walk if you can or look at little children. There is no choice, you have to learn how to shift your legs, how to maintain your balance, etcetera.
