Part 2:

The Ruin as an Opportunity for Correction - Selected Excerpts from the Sources (#7)

Reading #7 (00:20) “Due to the breaking of the letter vessels, all the Otiot were ejected..” Twice.

1. R. (01:30) Meaning that by the shattering that we learned a bit all of the vessels lost their screens and the lights Sparks and vessels that existed together through a shared screen they disintegrated and the work of the lower ones is that we need to tie them together again. So the Reshimot, the lights, sparks, and vessels all connect together in each and every degree each and every level and so they will become corrected. Then everything will back to a state where this ruined that happened by the shattering of the vessels that made the vessels of the reception and bestow mingle in all levels, in all kinds so then by the light that influences them that light can clarify them and sort them out according to their degree of correction according to the Masachim the screens, and that is how the world will be sustained.

2. S. (03:37) What does it mean to tie the lights, and sparks and vessels that became scattered? How do we do?

R. In the world to receive in order to bestow we have a concept of the Masach Screen. That screen connects everything and directs everything and guides all of the details in each and every Kli to bestow contentment to the Creator this is called the corrected Kli. That’s what we need to reach so what are you asking?

S. In the article we read before by Rabash and also in life we see that what we collect is mostly preparations out of failures, everything which is the opposite of purity, opposite of holiness, opposite of love so by that what do we correct? What I feel that is opposite, we only discover how much we are broken and ruined, not how much we are correct?

R. But we are asking. We feel sorrow for being in such a contemptible degree and we are asking the Creator to connect between us. That is already the major part of the correction and from our connection how we can bestow to him? That is what we are trying to do in each and every ten.

S. Rabash wrote there that we have work in believing that the Creator can help even though we asked and asked and asked, we see that you're only more broken and more ruined. You should believe that who he comes to be purified is aided even though you don’t see it, you don’t understand it so what can give us this power to believe that he will help he will purify us?

R. I think it is only the society, only the society. There is nothing else. People who are still not connected to the root of their soul can get support and strength only through the society.

3. S. (06:30) What is it when it says because of due to the breaking of the vessel all the letters were ejected?

R. That all of the opportunities to bestow to the Creator as it was before the shattering of the vessels. They were all shattered and fell to the ABYA of separation and now they have to be reconnected, corrected again to the right form and then they can be used to bestow.

4. S. (07:22) Later on he says it is very interesting that when a person reaches his root he must collect them by himself. What does it mean that he must do it by himself? The Creator doesn't help him but the person himself has to go and collect all the broken pieces. How does he do it?

R. No, in our corrections, their actions that the Creator awakens us. The Creator awakens us and we ourselves could not awaken, could not recuperate or pay attention. But the Creator when he awakens us he gives us an opportunity through having a bad mood or senses our feelings sensation and then we wake up and we start asking and scrutinizing, how can we better ourselves do better to ourselves and we gradually start to understanding that is not about doing better for yourself but we have to do good to the Creator.

S. He says that you collect them one by one and bring him back to the root of holiness, what am I supposed to do?

R. Each and every desire we have we want to raise it towards in order to bestow.

S. And you say this is possible?

R. It is possible, try from morning to evening to have the intention in order to bestow.

S. And what is the work? How's the work carried out in this part he's talking about collecting all the pieces and bring him to Kedusha?

R. Yes.

S. What is our work here?

R. That's put together the pieces and raising towards sanctity.

S. Through the connection between the tens, in annulment?

R. Also.

5. S. (10:07) I heard you saying that only the environment can give you the force to keep on believing that the Creator may help. So does he also have the force to take away this faith from us, the society has strength to do that?

R. It could be it could be. It depends what society a person is incorporated with.

6. S. (10:52) We see that we cannot take the light from the Creator because we cannot connect to the desire of the friends, we cannot obtain the desire of the friends we do not even understand what the friends desires sometimes. How to build the Masach that we understand and connect to the desire of the frien so we can take the light from the Creator?

R. We're learning about it and together with our studies we have to implement it. I do not have any other advice.

7. S. (11:50) Collecting all the letters and correcting all the desires, is that the same?

R. Yes, that’s the same thing.

S. It is written that when we reach our root we collect these letters. Am I understanding this correctly that when we are in the world of Atzilut, all the corrections will begin?

R. When we get there, we will see that.

8. S. (12:33) What is a person that is completing himself?

R. I don't understand, what’s he saying?

S. What is a person that completes himself?

R. That he wants to persistently identify resemble the Creator.

S. He does not say that he wants to be corrected, he's already corrected, complete so I just wanted to understand that.

R. So he wants to correct himself or he already has. That when a person reaches his root he must collect and collect them one by one.

S. We learned that for every state there's an opposite state. What is the opposite of the corrected person, a person far away in the reception?

R. So a person who descends is not correct.

S. So what does it mean to reach one's root?

R. To reach the root is our purpose, that's our final goal.

S. And why is this described as an individual we know that a person alone cannot do not do nothing, so why is it written as if one person here?

R. He won’t tell you every word that you have to be connected to society. He gave you part of the studies about that and now he's speaking about the different part of the study.

S. Meaning when he says up a person he’s talking or one when one correct he's talking about a ten?

R. Usually it's a person connected to a ten.

S. So can we relate to this one as a ten?

R. You are going to get confused within yourself.

9. S. (14:37) Is there some reservoir that we are all in realtionship with our friends collected there and at the ceratin point we can really correct them or is that from a certain point all the records are been corrected, what’s he talking about exactly?

R. He is talking about us being able to gradually correct all of our records. I don't understand why you are all trying to go even deeper than what is written more and more. All in all, there are two forms.

10. S. (15:35) I heard a sentence that the Creator awakens us through the worst mood. Is that way to wake someone up by making his mood worse?

R. To give us an ability to recognize our shattered vessels so we can correct them. The main thing is through descent, through there we can climb towards ascent.

S. His role is to bring us down and our role is to climb?

R. Supposedly yes. He wants to give us vessels to correct to bring us closer and we have to try to depict those vessels and start correcting them by performing the correction also. in that we work with the Creator.

S. One more piece of advice I heard you tell a friend is that every decision we have we want to raise it to in order to bestow that we should try to do that from morning till night. Whatever you do, put the intention in order to bestow in that. Can I have an example of something I am doing during the day where I can clothe the intention in order to bestow?

R. Give me a desire as an example of a desire and you will see as much you can work with it in order to bestow contentment to the Creator.

S. I wake up in the morning, I go to work, the day goes by, I work. I think about the Ten when I'm awake to think, I eat, I sleep.

R. What is the problem here? On all those actions to think about, you want to connect to the friends in order from there to raise MAN deficiencies for connection and ask the Creator to participate in our connection and by that we gradually advance.

11. S. (18:20) What is the reason when a person sentences himself and the whole world to the scale of merit?

R. There isn't that we all have to reach the Gmar Tukun the final correction. That same person has to do his work, his private work, to give his small part for correction.

S. Does the annulment of the vessel towards the light lead to endless pleasure both for the vessel and for the light?

R. We cannot say about the light that it enjoys anything but the vessel enjoys doing the work as the light bestows.

Item #8 (19:40) “Man can toil and labor if no correction results from it...” Twice.

12. R. (21:29) We do not know exactly what these corrections are. peace and simple connections. We will still have to learn about it. Let's keep going.

Item #9 (21:52) “This Kli, called receiving in order to bestow is the complete opposite...”

13. S. (23:48) I would like to ask about the previous excerpt.

R. No wait let people ask about the one that we just read.

14. S. (24:08) It was written in the last sentence that Malchut of Ein Sof, that she does not want to receive in order to receive. Why doesn't she want?

R. Because she felt the distance.

S. And we?

R. That is why she wants to correct itself and we are parts of that Malchut of Ein Sof. That is why we need to perform her work, each one according to what he can do. That is everyone's incarnation.

S. But one sentence before them, it says that it's hard work correction is hard work for the will to receive?

R. So what?

S. How can we generate the situation where just like the Malchut of Ein Sof receive this feeling and recognition that this is what she wants to be. to resemble the light therefore she will respect and do the reflected light so what is the starting point for us that will give us the motivation? What is that fact factor that will cause us to make such decisions? What is it?

R. If you are in the group and you are studying, there is no reason that you will not be able to feel what the right thing to do is and want to perform the acts of correction.

S. Malchut of Ein Sof, was ashamed of the gap between herself and the light she is receiving and He is bestowing. Why are we not receiving the situation? We will be ashamed of the light and we will make the same decision as she did?

R. Everything is organized according to the vessels how close or far they are from the light. You cannot have a complaint. Why do they not give me a Nobel prize? Because then, you have nothing to do with it. That means that each and everyone according to his degree his ability and incorporation. How can we demand things do not belong to us? That we do not even know what to do with them?

S. We are told that we have to correct ourselves, from in order to receive two in order to bestow. so it is if the conditions that we have to correct ourselves are not the connection condition like the Malchut of Ein Sof, had so why is that demand the same?

R. But we are also not Malchut of Ein Sof. The Malchut of Ein Sof, went through shattering in order to correct itself, and now she is in a different state and that is us.

S. What is that factor, the upper factor, that's come to us that makes us acknowledge that nothingness of our nature and take the resemble to be to resemble it, what is the factor?

R. That factor is the light that was filling the complete vessel not working from afar, from the outside the vessel.

S. What does it do in us?

R. Discernments, it is making discernments in us where we are compared to where we should be.

15. S. (28:33) Here it says that we need to fight against the vessel that the Creator created. My question is how to fight against what the Creator created?

R. To ask for forces to be able to deal with that vessel that He created.

S. We're saying that we have to reach an agreement with the Creator to justify the Creator but here it says the opposite, that he has to fight. How can a person distinguish and discern when he should fight and when he should turn to the Creator and to justify? It is not reasonable,that I will turn to some of the same time fight with them. Is it not normal?

R. No normal, okay.

S. I have to fight through the Ten, through connection. We are in control of every thought, every desire that he gives us, but we need to fight? How?

R. We need to fight. Although we get this from the Creator that holds all forces and all the results in his hands, that is how we have to do it, to learn more and more.

16. S. (30:31) In the shattering, the lights departed as if they were waiting for the corrected vessels that broke, right?

R. Yes.

S. As we feel the deficiencies, is the broken vessel that requires corrections awakened?

R. Yes.

S. What is the correction exactly? Sometimes you feel a single desire to connect just to feel better. We feel that we are nothing. Later on, we come to different feelings as if something happened and then the feeling changes and then again it is revealed is that correction? What is the correction? Where is the light that awakens the vessel and opens a new vessel? Is there such a thing?

R. When you will ask for a screen.

S. The change of the situation, does it not?

R. That will balance the lights and the vessels and both opposite things will be able to exist together.

S. We need not search for some, what we call some testimony that the vessel was correct. That is not our work, is it important?

R. I don't understand what you mean.

S. I'm saying it for instance. For instance, in a situation that changed in a person, he felt some strong deficiency and then it was complimented. Does it indicate something or should I not think about it at all?

R. Again, I don't understand the state.

S. The feeling of the deficiency indicates that I'm feeling the uncorrected vessel that has to be completed by its light?

R. Yes.

S. Now if this feeling of deficiency, let's say it is fulfilled does that indicate a correction or doesn't it?

R. No, it is not a must. It could be that the person is psychologically, that somehow he balanced himself.

17. S. ( 33:10) Can we say that about Malchut that she decided to go through the state of shattering that was Malchut's decision?

R. Why are you asking in such a way?

S. I will continue my question, why in the state that she was she decided to break how does that serve her? She experienced some feeling from the light and if we  say that she decided that she has to go through a state of shattering in order to reach a state of correction ultimately so that she will be able to receive the light, so why did she decide that? Why is that a good state for her?

R. Because then she truly discovers where she stands and where the Creator, the light stands.

S. There's a kind of scrutiny?

R. The gap between them will be revealed in a true manner.

S. How do we take it to our personal work this understanding of what she did? What are we supposed to do accordingly if we are parts of the broken Malchut?

R. We want to see the truth where we are compared to the light compared to Malchut of Ein Sof and that is what is important for us. That is first of all, as much as we will be ready through our society and ourselves, be ready to determine the truth then we will get the true state and that will push us towards corrections.

18. S. (35:35) I'll continue on the line of the friends questions, the feeling is as if the questions are not related to what's going on, it's like there's a disconnect the correction is divided into two we read about it a lot there's a correction of the creation and then there's the purpose of creation. The correction of creation is the connection between us, building the vessel. The purpose of the creation is the fulfillment of the abundance in the vessel, and our vessel is the world Kli. We have no place, it's our society what we pray about and think about and what we all want to reveal about the Creator there, so my question is, how can we focus on that? How can we think more about our society? How can we pray for it more so at least this first correction that's where the correction is so how can we do it together?

R. I don't understand what you're asking. We want to reach our corrections. The correction is by all of our vessels of reception that were shattered, the shattering gave an opportunity to correct each and every part of the shattered vessel, that each part that shattered and separated from the whole, can now correct themselves,gradually in what? By starting to connect to others with the intention to bestow and that's what we need to do, even though we have rejection, resentment from it and complete lack of desire to connect with the others as one man with one heart we must see this as our goal and to try somehow to move towards that.

S. That's exactly what I meant and you started by saying you didn't understand me. This is what I'm talking about. We are in the world vessel, this vessel that is Malchut, that's where the correction has to be and it's as if we are disconnected. I don't even know how to ask this question but how to tie this together when it comes to I don't even know how to?

R. We have to be closer to the Creator and help one another against our ego that doesn't let us be connected, and to the extent that we exert our efforts to be together, against our nature, we draw the light that reforms, and it starts connecting between us. Then we gradually reveal the degrees of correction and we start understanding more, feeling our connections more, how these states are really for our best.

19. S. (40:04) As long as we're in a state that we don't have equivalence of form, does it mean we are in our state getting an opportunity to correct if we don't correct a situation?

R. I am not familiar with the word you're using, you I know what the word is but…

S. You just explained that the created being and it's desire to resemble the Creator goes through many states and one of them said there that it's a state of Katnut smallness.

R. I think you're talking about recognition of evil.

S. As long as we're not getting equivalence of form we're losing more strength than the light we're getting?

R. We're not losing everything, we only need to increase our efforts so that they will give us the results that we will be able to feel. It depends on our ability and our efforts to come closer and on prayer other than that it doesn't depend on anything.

20. S. (42:06) I like to bring us back to the excerpt we're reading, since we have to fight against.. what the Creator created and this war will get all the deficiencies we learn about, as if what he says here is by my sons have defeated me. How can we defeat the Creator? How I always ask my ass myself how can we defeat the Creator?

R. The Creator created this broken state on purpose and he gives us the opportunity to come out of this whole to light.

S. Yes, but how can we beat the Creator, how can we beat such a thing, the upper force, He created the opposite?

R. The conditions he has placed before us, we need to rise above them and connect that is called ‘my sons have defeated me’.

S. What does it mean to rise above them, what does it mean to rise above them and what is ‘my sons have defeated me’, what is a defeat?

R. Above the will to receive for oneself.

S. What is a victory or defeat with the Creator?

R. That He shattered the vessels and we connect the vessels and defeat the Creator.

S. Does it sound reasonable to you, normal, such a thing?

R. It says ‘my sons have defeated me’, do you understand that?

S. I understand this but I don't understand how we can reach such a thing?

R. So listen, stop talking and listen to what you're being told, that isn't the parliament or where you usually are, listen to what's being said and learn from that something. Try and understand, I can say this for myself, it took many years.

Reading Excerpt #10 (44:51) “The essence of man...”

21. R. (46:54) Yes in order for there to be a whole heart, we need to go through a state called a broken heart and to truly want to correct it to do everything in our ability and above that to ask for the Creator. As it's written, that the Creator corrects the hearts, and will understand that the Creator loves those who has a broken heart and He loves those who ask for their heart to be corrected, and then the Creator corrects all of our shattered vessels, and by that He places the corrected single heart for everyone.

22. S. (48:00) We, in our process in our work, have to discover that the heart is broken or to reach a state that it breaks in order to start correcting it?

R. No it's broken a long time ago, from the shattering of the vessels.

S. In our work we discover the shattering and from there we start to correct?

R. Yes, yes.

23. S. (48:38) In this excerpt, it's as if there's a person that's in two ends. On the one hand I hear that he wants to do something for the sake of the Creator, on the other hand he's completely a will to receive for himself. How does that coincide in one person?

R. In a person there are many sources for contradicting conditions yes.

S. Every degree we reach such two extremes and one person every time anew?

R. Yes, of course, every single degree we experience a few states. It will be even more there will be three lines and all kinds of additional conditions because every upper degree includes in it all of the lower degrees.

S. We are working not in order to discover one side we're always making an effort so that we will have the importance to bestow and we discover the heart that doesn't want it?

R. Yes. We need to understand one thing only, first of all the path is straight, we come to corrections and to the final correction and we only need to continue. It is written about that, everything but leave and whoever decides to leave, he points at himself as being less than a beast.

24. S. (51:21) It's as if there's a feeling that the whole world vessel really wants to connect. We really feel it in everyone's question. There's a very strong desire, on the other hand, and inability is also being revealed so the gap I wanted to ask about the gap?

R. That's in order to subjugate ourselves towards the Creator it's been done on purpose.

S. The Creator wants us to feel this gap?

R. You look like spoiled children, we can't, we don't want to, we won't accept it and that's it, no such thing.

S. The truth is I feel the opposite. I feel that the world vessel is so demanding. I feel as if the world vessel isn't too extreme together when we feel this gap and there is this kind of demand and inability and a very strong desire, how to connect these two together. How to keep on going with these two?

R. You're spoiled, you are spoiled. I have nothing to add, it's written what the mind doesn't do time does the Creator adds a few more blows we are in the state of the last generation, everything is is all set up and yet, and we need to make an effort, you want to use this incarnation successfully go ahead you have a chance you've been given everything from above and all you need to do is to give the correct response.

25. S. (54:03) He writes here that there's nothing more whole than a broken heart but what should we do that one of the results of the shattering is actually that the heart is blocked, what to do with a blocked heart?

R. To connect to the friends, to annul towards them to be included in them and by that, to come out of this hole.

S. What if some of this blockage is, it's not clear where to start the first step towards connection?

R. The first step is self annulment, that I try not to come out of connection with the friends, but to constantly be together with them in mind and heart and I don't want to ask anything else other than that, just to be connected. Then I want this feeling of us being connected, of us being together, I want this to fill all of my heart.

S. How to depict the connection from such a state when a person is disconnected?

R. Actually from the state of being detached a person can depict himself as being connected, specifically from that state.

26. S. (56:18) You said that I have to feel in my heart the connection with the hearts of the friend, I I barely understand that my own heart. If I take 300 or 400 other people, how can you contain this?

R. In spirituality there is no problem, if I want to be with 300 people in one heart I will feel that, I will feel that.

S. I'll feel the desire of each of the friends, this desire?

R. If needed.

27. S. (57:11) You said that we're spoiled so I wanted to know how and in what way?

R. I think that you are not protecting yourself from blows, you're not taking into consideration the states you're going through.

S. I don't understand, we didn't hear you, what are we not doing?

R. I also need to do a detachment.

28. S. (58:21) I want to clarify a point, we also learned before that there is a shell of being sad for yourself, and also in this heart it is felt that the Lord is near brokenhearted, so how will it happen that I will separate being sad for my own self and being sad for not being able to give contentment to the Creator?

R. The light will come and will give you these differences between these and those states and you will see how it will be completely clear to you like a sharp knife.

29. S. (59:41) How can we shift from the virtual environment to a physical one? In the past we had gatherings of friends and now we don't have them anymore. We can be together in the congresses or during the lessons, or during the day so how can we shift from a virtual environment to a physical one in order to accelerate or increase the number of times we can be together?

R. Well, that depends on you, but I think that it's not so important. I've seen groups that connect from zero to dozens of friends and succeed, that's why I don't think you should pay attention to that. We need to receive more and more of a sense of unity even in this long-distance connection, even in the long term.

30. S. (01:01:21) I heard you just told the friend that we're not cautious enough from the blows. What does that mean? How to be cautious from the blows? What are we doing wrong?

R. I lower the importance of the Creator's negative attitude, and by that I protect myself from the blows obviously from him and that's not good, that's not good. I am entering some bubble that's protecting my ego, my will to receive.

S. How can we identify the negative relation by the Creator without entering a bubble and being blocked by it?

R. That depends on opening the heart.

31. S. (01:02:43) How to stop being spoiled and to be more responsible towards the Creator? how not to miss this opportunity?

R. I think we need in order to be more serious, we need to treat each other seriously. Because for the Creator okay, for all of creation okay, but first of all to each other by that I determine the foundations of my spiritual vessel, to the extent that I look at each and every friend and see him as the greatest and the generation in all of the group which is like this collection of angels, then accordingly I bring myself closer to the final correction, to the state of Malchut which will influence me and will give me strength and discernments and more than that we do not need, all these forces and discernments, that's it.

32. S. (01:04:49) I heard you answer the friend that it's as if we're going into a bubble and by that we're kind of running away from the blows, so basically what I understand is that we shouldn't run away and come out of the bubble and we're not supposed to be afraid because these blows are helping us to learn in advance?

R. Right, if we are escaping from the blows we can actually lose there we need to go through the blows like the Red Sea we need to cross through it.

S. Even though they are so scary to simply strengthen the faith and to go specifically there?

R. To see that there's nothing there look at it and it turns into a pile of bones, it all depends on how we treat it, but for that one is to prepare himself with connection to the group, the Creator, the study, and then you will have two discernments, a negative discernment from the left side and a positive discernment from the force of bestowal from the right side, and then you will participate in both of them towards the goal, which is the middle line.

S. Seemingly not to choose one side but to rather know that everything has to connect later?

R. Of course, without connection there's nothing to talk about, this needs to be ahead of us as a goal.

33. R. (01:07:47) I hope that in states like this when I'm not around, you have work even more in the connection between you, that is serious, and that you will be able to use it in order to reach a Kli, where you'll be able to find the upper light the Creator the goal, it all depends on you. I'd like to say all the best to you, until the afternoon lesson.

Workshop: Summarize the lesson.
